Little Shop of Horrors
A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon ""Audrey II"" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! Of course there is a budding love story as well and an unexpected ending!!
One of the longest-running off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS never fails to entertain.

Slammed when you stand and rammed when you run. Berated if you lie and lambasted for the truth. Where even the slightest of breeze can carry the pollen of disaster. And the pack on top knows the best way to avoid getting a face full of disaster pollen is to spread the dried residue of other exquisite catastrophes first. Ream or be reamed.

Can tumors—which can originate from, and often resemble, chronically inflamed tissue—be curtailed using familiar anti-inflammatory agents, without their side effects?
The study of how covalent marks on DNA and histones are involved in the origin and spread of cancer cells is also leading to new therapeutic strategies.
The minority of Parkinson's cases now known to have genetic origins are shedding light on the cellular mechanisms of all the rest, bringing researchers closer to a cause—and perhaps a cure.

Suzie Q at the Cord
This past weekend I was at the 59th running of the Corduroy Enduro, in Gooderham, Ontario. It bills itself as the toughest race in Canada, and while that might be up for debate (those hurtin' Albertans know how to make 'em rough too!) it is certainly in serious contention for the title. It's especially difficult when you get the kind of rain we had during the week and right through to the weekend. Rocks that are normally grippy when dry become greasy and slippery with mud.
Wrapping it Up
So, I'm sorry first off that it has taken me this long to get this posted. Layne, this apology is for you! I told you Sunday at the Codrington round of the OO XCs that I'd put a post up for you, about the awesome way you stopped to help a Mini Junior rider (Devyn Marshall, one of the youngest riders on the course) who was having problems on a particularly rough section of trail. It was the last cross country of the year, and I missed accepting my award and giving my speech because I was out on the trails taking pictures.
Credit Where Credit is Due
So, I know I usually post my blog up on Mondays, and I'm really trying to get regular with that. I know another editor gets one up hell or high water every Monday, and for that I give him credit, but for me, I just couldn't bring myself to look at my computer on Monday after two weekends of racing, knowing there's still like, what? 5 more to go! I'm starting to feel the burn! *laugh*
Pitchin' In
Don't say I've never done anything for ya!
The Dilemma
No, this has nothing to do with the Vince Vaughn movie. It's the dilemma that my print counterpart touched upon in his editor's column in the new issue of IMX (available at Chapters/Indigo stores, through a subscription or on Zinio for those of you with tablets and iPads – digital copies are awesome!). For those of you who haven't read it, Jeff talks about the fine line many in the media find themselves walking as to where do we exist. Are we fans? Are we friends of the riders? Or do we exist in the 5th estate, so to speak, separate from both sides?

A little bit of nostalgia can go a long way on a rainy day.

The preliminary June 2011 jobless rate dropped .7 percentage point below the 10.3 percent rate recorded in June 2010 for the state. The state's June 2011 rate is the lowest since the January 2009 rate of 9.2 percent.
"Kentucky's economy regained some footing in June 2011 as nonfarm employment increased for the 14th month since the recession ended in June 2009. However, a portion of the decline in the unemployment rate is attributed to a drop in the civilian labor force as fewer new entrants started job searches," said Dr. Justine Detzel, OET chief labor market analyst.
The U.S. seasonally adjusted jobless rate increased from 9.1 percent in May 2011 to 9.2 percent in June 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Unemployment statistics are based on estimates and are compiled to measure trends rather than actually to count people working.
Five of the 11 major nonfarm North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) job sectors reported an employment increase in June 2011, while five decreased and one stayed the same, according to OET. An increase of 1,600 jobs in June 2011 brought Kentucky's nonfarm employment to a seasonally adjusted total of 1,791,000. Kentucky's nonfarm employment has grown by 18,200 workers since June 2010.
According to the seasonally adjusted employment data, Kentucky's manufacturing sector rebounded in June 2011 adding 1,200 jobs since May 2011. Since June 2010, employment in the manufacturing sector has climbed by 4,000 positions.
"Job gains over the past month are attributed to the durable goods subsector, which reflects a ramp up in production due to the restoration of supply chains and expansion at an automobile parts manufacturer," Detzel said.
The year-over-year job expansion in manufacturing also occurred mainly in the durable good subsector. "As the economy recovers and consumers regain confidence, the manufacturing sector is boosting production as businesses restock inventories to meet the resurgence in demand for products," Detzel said.
The state's leisure and hospitality sector climbed by 1,100 jobs in June 2011. Since June 2010, the sector has surged by 12,600 positions. The leisure and hospitality sector includes arts, entertainment and recreation, accommodations and food services, and drinking places industries.
"The employment gains in June 2011 are concentrated in arts, entertainment and recreation businesses, which reflects expansions at recreational facilities," said Detzel.
The trade, transportation and utilities sector advanced by 1,000 jobs in June 2011. This area includes retail and wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing businesses, and utilities. It is the largest sector in Kentucky with 360,300 employees. Since June 2010, the number of jobs in this sector has increased by 300.
Construction sector jobs rose by 400 in June 2011. Since June 2010, employment in the construction sector has dropped by 2,800 jobs.
Employment in the mining and logging sector increased by 100 in June 2011. The sector has gained 700 jobs since June 2010.
The educational and health services sector maintained the same number of workers in June 2011 as in May 2011. The sector has surged by 3,900 workers since June 2010. This sector includes private and nonprofit establishments that provide either education and training or health care and social assistance to their clients.
Employment in the other services sector, which includes such establishments as repair and maintenance businesses; personal and laundry services; religious organizations; and civic and professional organizations, tumbled by 1,000 positions in June 2011. This sector had 900 more positions in June 2011 than June 2010.
"This marks the second consecutive month of declining employment in the other services sector. The contraction in this sector is a sign of layoffs at commercial and industrial repair and maintenance companies," said Detzel.
The financial activities sector lost 700 jobs in June 2011. This segment, which includes businesses involved in finance, insurance, real estate and property leasing or rental, has 1,800 fewer positions than in June 2010.
The government sector, which includes public education, public administration agencies and state-owned hospitals, dropped 300 jobs in June 2011. The sector has 5,200 fewer jobs than in June 2010.
The professional and business services sector dwindled by 100 positions in June 2011. This area includes professional, scientific and technical services; management of companies; and administrative support and waste management, including temporary help agencies. Since last June, jobs in the sector have mushroomed by 5,800.
The information sector declined by 100 workers in June 2011. This segment, which includes firms involved in publishing, Internet activities, data processing, broadcasting and news syndication, has decreased by 200 positions since June 2010.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly estimate of the number of employed Kentuckians for June 2011 was 1,912,321 on a seasonally adjusted basis. This figure is down 942 from the 1,913,263 employed in May 2011, but up 47,762 from the 1,864,559 employed in June 2010.
The monthly estimate of the number of unemployed Kentuckians for June 2011 was 202,647, down 4,366 from the 207,013 Kentuckians unemployed in May 2011, and down 10,731 from the 213,378 unemployed in June 2010.
The monthly estimate of the number of Kentuckians in the civilian labor force for June 2011 was 2,114,968. This figure is down 5,308 from the 2,120,276 recorded in May 2011, but up 37,031 from the 2,077,937 recorded in June 2010.
Civilian labor force statistics include nonmilitary workers and unemployed Kentuckians who are actively seeking work. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks.
Kentucky's statewide unemployment rate and employment levels are seasonally adjusted. Employment statistics undergo sharp fluctuations due to seasonal events, such as weather changes, harvests, holidays and school openings and closings. Seasonal adjustments eliminate these influences and make it easier to observe statistical trends. However, because of the small sample size, county unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted.

This year I have to plead to some bias since I've been aware of this effort for some time. But it's also not every project that's already been submitted by the City to ODOT for funding.
There are also a LOT of people who have been involved in this effort, in both government and in the community, and the credit is clearly shared.
But presenter Betsy Reese has been watching the very dangerous intersection at Broadway/Flint/Wheeler for over a decade from her vantage point at the Paramount Apartments which she and her husband own. She's been letting the City know how dangerous this location is on an ongoing basis.
PBOT attempted one fix a few years ago, creating a sidewalk peninsula in front of her building - it didn't help. The bicycle right-hook risk continued, as did the parade of cars making unsafe cut-across movements to make the U-turn back to Broadway.
As the NE Quadrant project finally gave some direction to what will happen in the long term, PBOT (and the Mayor) acted and removed the right turn opportunity onto Wheeler.
But this doesn't fix all the issues at the intersection and Betsy and her allies continue to advocate for stronger treatments, including signalization. Betsy's class presentation (PDF, 10M) outlines all the issues, and the effort got a major boost mid-way through this semester's class when PBOT submitted the project for an ODOT grant.
We'll continue to track this and let you know when it's time to send those letters and e-mails to ODOT to support the project during final selection later in 2013!

I am curious how the removal of the slip u-turn ramp will impact Rose Quarter / Memorial Coliseum traffic.
We use that ramp all the time when travelling to events, and we know the area. Taking it out is going to be hard on the people from places other than the central city who don't know the area and are confused trying to get to their event...
The families of kids in the state dance competition or people coming in from out of town for a concert or the people from Clark County coming to a Blazer or Winterhawks game - none of them really know how to get into parking lots at the Rose Quarter.
So is the plan just to send them all down and around on to Interstate?
Living and working in the Lloyd area has taught me that when there are big events going on at the any of the venues there - best to be very careful walking or cycling - because there are a ton of people from out of town who are lost, confused, and scared. They don't see pedestrians or bikes...

Allan Says:
I commend Betsy for the amount of effort she has put in to this project. I am curious whether removing the u-turn will be a benefit or not. I see signalization and removing N Flint from the equation will do the most for this intersection

Doesn't city/county/state only make changes after a certain amount of citizens are killed?
Just proves how little citizens actually count to the 'entitled bureaucrats'

Chris Smith Says:
I am curious how the removal of the slip u-turn ramp will impact Rose Quarter / Memorial Coliseum traffic.
I believe the intent is to replace it with a right turn opportunity from the main part of the exit where it hits Broadway. The idea is not to eliminate the movement, but slow it down, so we don't have so many cars hitting the danger point at Flint/Wheeler at high speed (and with limited visibility due to the curve).
December 19, 2012 3:13 PM
Allan Says:
Ok I think the 'slip ramp' is the right turn off the freeway - that lane will still exist but it will be a much narrower radius of curvature for turning - so that folks have to stop at the light when coming off the freeway before turning right.
the 'u-turn' we're referring to doesn't seem to me like it needs to be removed, but I'm not a traffic engineer
December 19, 2012 3:24 PM
Chris Smith Says:
The issue with the u-turn is that in the current location, people coming off the freeway merge across more lanes of traffic to get to it than is safe.
The proposed alternative is the make the turn legal at the bottom of the 'traffic island', allowing a much longer distance for safely merging across lanes.
December 19, 2012 11:51 PM
Betsy Reese Says:
Here is the script for the narration of the slide show.
1. N Broadway/Flint/Wheeler has long been known as one of the most dangerous intersections in Portland for bicyclists.
2. I've been advocating for change here since 1999. The city already had the traffic peninsula on the drawing board and it was built with bikeways funds in 2000.
3. Since 2006, Jonathan Maus of bikeportland.org, bicycle and pedestrian advocacy groups,
4. And many neighbors, most notably Portland Water Bureau,
5. have been calling for change.
6. Small fixes have been
7. made
8. but crashes continue.
9. Lack of agreement on 1-5 expansion near here has been given as the reason for lack of action on surrounding surface streets.
10. But this past summer, we had the perfect storm: Three things took place
11. First: ODOT, PBOT and area Stakeholders agreed on a plan for the freeway. They then voted unanimously to recommend that the safety-related changes to surface streets be done as soon as possible.
12. Second: Many neighbors, advocacy groups, and others sent in written support and most sent representatives to a meeting On June 26th with State and City transportation officials to press for these changes.
13. And third: A series of collisions sending bicyclists to hospitals in ambulances
14. demonstrated the urgency
15. of acting now to prevent a fatality.
16. ODOT stepped right up and began in August the removal of the I-5 slip ramp.
17. PBOT reconvened the advocacy group and neighbors
18. and announced they would close Wheeler to right turns from Broadway, putting up the barricades almost immediately and amidst much controversy.
19. Some media coverage was misleading, and many people saw the move as catering to scoff-law bicyclists at the expense of hardworking business people.
20. Subsequent traffic stings seemed to confirm bikes were to blame. But to me, it appeared that police were there to target only bicyclists running the Flint stop sign, which was not the cause of a single one of the four injury crashes over the summer.
21. Closing Wheeler was a significant safety improvement, but it is not enough.
22. This is a complicated intersection.
23. One: It is multi-legged, on a curve, and downhill, making it harder for drivers to see fast bikes overtaking them on their right. Two: With sweeping unobstructed views toward oncoming one-way traffic, stop-sign running from side streets by all modes is the norm. Three: The turnaround in the streetcar traffic island is the motivation for vehicles to dart across four lanes in violation of the lane establishment rule. And four: Bikes don't have a good way to get back up Flint.
24. The three most common collision scenarios involving bicycles are, first the most common one, the right hook at Wheeler,
25. now prevented by the barricades prohibiting that turn.
26. Second, a similar right hook, but at Flint
27. The third scenario is the combination of drivers accelerating out from Wheeler or Flint looking only to their left upstream toward oncoming traffic and
28. and flooring it when they get an opening to shoot across all four lanes to the turnaround
29. striking wrong-way sidewalk cyclists coming fast
30. from their
31. right.
32. Add to this, many bikes
33. are riding the wrong way up Broadway
34. to get back up Flint.
35. A traffic signal is not just needed for bikes. Pedestrian crossings and conflicts are increasing.
36. A signal will not just hold back cars so bikes and peds can go. It will also hold back bikes and peds so cars can go. All modes need this fix.
37. I'm very happy to announce to you tonight that two days ago
38. PBOT submitted a proposal for major funding.
39. Although the barricades on Wheeler must stay until the full plan can be implemented in 10 years, some portions can be done now, independent of the freeway work.
40. The U-turn-around in the streetcar island will be relocated to a location just ½ block west, at with Ross Ave. This, together with the removal of the 4th vehicle lane that led to that island turn-around, will give vehicles coming from Wheeler and Flint enough travel distance to merge across Broadway's three lanes to the turnaround safely and legally.
41. And the intersection will be signalized, including a way for bikes to get back up Flint.
December 20, 2012 12:50 AM
Betsy Reese Says:
Some clarifications:
I can see that my use of PBOT's term "slip ramp" for both the I-5 right turn off-ramp and for the U-turnaround in the streetcar island has caused confusion. Chris's comments appear to address the freeway off-ramp when he responds to John's concern:
"I am curious how the removal of the slip U-TURN ramp will impact Rose Quarter / Memorial Coliseum traffic."
To address John's concern, I will clarify (see the script for slide 40 above) that the U-TURN ramp is not being eliminated, but moved just a half-block further downstream. I know that was not clear from the slides alone.
In response to Allan:
"the 'u-turn' we're referring to doesn't seem to me like it needs to be removed, but I'm not a traffic engineer"
If you read the script for the slides 21 - 41 I think this is explained in quick overview, although I can give you more detail, just let me know.
I would like to add here as a plea for your support for funding being granted for this project:
1. PBOT's Greg and Mauricio emphasized to me that this is just an initial conceptual proposal which is very short and that IF it gets funded, it will go through a public outreach process and changes and refinements are expected.
2. Hopefully near neighbors, bike and pedestrian advocates, freight, transit, etc., will not derail this from happening here by being unable to come to agreement on key points. As I say in slide 36, All modes need this fix.
3. One of the big selling points to ODOT on this is that it is not redundant nor counter to, but a subset of the eventual I-5 Broadway/Weidler Facility Plan. This means it is not something that will have to be undone or redone and therefore is not more money, just sooner money.
4. Anyone who is opposed to widening I-5 need not be opposed to the ADOPTION of that plan. Please read the script for slides 9 - 11 above. Finally settling on a plan for I-5 has made it possible to get these safety changes done on the surrounding surface streets independent of the freeway work.
5. I want to use this slide show to lobby the people who will be deciding on funding. This is my first PowerPoint and I did it on a 60-day free trial that doesn't completely work on my computer, plus I am inexperienced with all the neat moving arrows, recording narration, etc. In it's current state it has to be presented live. I would like to get the moving arrows (so I don't have to be there to point and gesture), etc. onto the slides, record the narration and convert it so it can be put on Youtube. If any activists out there have these PowerPoint skills and would be willing to volunteer some time to help fix up my slide show and put it on Youtube, I would appreciate it so much.
Thanks to all the people who care about this intersection.
December 20, 2012 7:14 PM
Dave H Says:
Something I've never really understood is why right hooks aren't the cyclists fault? It doesn't really make sense that bikes are allowed to pass vehicles on the right while traveling at a speed they can't avoid hitting something. It seems like if they are going fast enough for a right hook to happen they should take the lane and go with the flow of other vehicles.
If right hooks are the problem that this report indicates it would seem like that would be a way to reduce the risk in this area as well.
December 20, 2012 8:02 PM
Bob R. Says:
Sadly, right hooks can and do occur at very low speeds.
If at any point you are cycling past a vehicle that you believe to be going directly forward, and you are past the rear wheel but haven't yet passed the front wheel, you are at risk for a right-hook collision.
December 20, 2012 10:13 PM
Allan Says:
That's like saying that bikes should always stop if there is a car to their left at every intersection. Perhaps we should just design our roadways so that bikes are in a different spot like a center-running 2-way bike lane.
This spot is particularly bad because of high bike speeds and N Broadway turning at that spot
December 21, 2012 7:44 AM
Chris I Says:
Right hooks can even occur when a cyclist is stopped. Disabling the ability for cyclists to pass on the right will remove much of the incentive to bike commuting (no traffic delays). A better way? Design our roads to be safer:
December 22, 2012 6:46 AM
Jason McHuff Says:
Will there be enough radius for u-turns at Ross? I know one of the aerial photos in the slides shows a semi truck making the u-turn.
Will the new landscaping installed along with the streetcar in the median at Ross have to be removed?
Related, why did they put in then totally re-do the median between Larrabee and Benton? Compare 2010, 2011 and Google Maps (both 90 and 45 degree).
December 22, 2012 7:11 AM
Chris Smith Says:
Related, why did they put in then totally re-do the median between Larrabee and Benton?
Because the first design, which put the bike lane curb-side was found to be very uncomfortable (and presumably unsafe) due to right-hook risk at Larrabee. Moving the bike lane to the left of the right turn lane required adjusting the left-turn lane and median.

Packing Tape Art Shines on the Street, and Then Helps You Move Into Your New Place
Max Zorn is a packing tape artist. No, I don't mean he's really good at taping up moving boxes, I mean he makes really intricate pieces of art by slicing up bits of brown packing tape and arranging them into people and scenes. Packing tape is translucent, of course, so Max hangs the finished pieces next to streetlights in Amsterdam.
Check out the timelapse below of Max doing his thing, set to hip hop. And resist the urge to ask him to help you move on the first of the month.

SANTA MARIA - Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin says non-lethal force was used to try and subdue the suspect, Robert Guzman, in Sunday night's shooting on East Sunset Street but it didn't work.
The taser is one non-lethal option available to law enforcement when it encounters a threatening suspect like Santa Maria Police say Guzman was Sunday night after stabbing his wife and breaking into a neighbor's home by smashing the front window.
While not intended to replace an officer's gun, taser's can resolve a dangerous situation without deadly use of force.
Chief Martin says his officers tried to subdue Guzman with non-lethal stun-bags, or bean bags, fired from a shotgun but they didn't work.
Martin says Guzman continued to threaten five SMPD officers on-scene with a knife and another unidentified weapon when the two officers closest to him opened fire hitting Guzman several times.
"These are very quick decisions, they confronted a suspect in the garage area, and he is obviously bent on his violence", Martin says, "he'd already broken into another home, and so it was a very split-second decision and the officers felt compelled to open fire."
Law enforcement officers are carefully trained on how and when to use non-lethal or lethal use of force when confronted by a suspect holding any weapon.
With the officer having the right to protect himself, other officers or the public with the use of deadly force.
"The escalation can go from zero to ten very quickly", Chief Martin says, "in this case the attempt to use less than lethal force was deployed but it just didn't work for us."
The names of the two Santa Maria Police officers who fired their weapons, as well as their years of experience, have not been released.
Both officers have been placed on paid leave and will undergo mandatory counseling before being allowed to return to work.

Trocadero Theatre
1003 Arch Street,
8 people favorited this theater
The Arch Street Opera House opened in 1870, and was burned down two years later, but was rebuilt and reopened. It was renamed the Park Theatre in 1879. In 1883, another fire gutted the theater and it was again rebuilt, reopened a year later as the New Arch Street Opera House. From 1889-1892, the theater underwent numerous name changes, as well as a handful of remodelings and alterations between the early-1890's and 1905.
By the early years of the 20th century, it was the Trocadero Theatre, shortened to the Troc by the 1940's. In addition to live entertainment, the Trocadero also served as a movie house, though, by the early-1940's, the Troc Theatre was operating as a burlesque house. In the late-1970's, after falling into disrepair, the Trocadero was restored both inside and out. The theater was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1973, and to the National Register of Historic Places five years later.
Today, the Trocadero is a concert venue which also shows movies on Monday nights.

When I was stationed in Fort Dix in the early 60's a bunch of the guys would venture into Philly. Some went to the Troc. My only burleque show during this period was "This Was Burlesque" with Ann Corio that was playing in New York.
My mother worked (as a dancer) at the Troc during the mid 1970's. I'd be thrilled if anyone had photos from that era. Her stage name was Sunshine and her real name was Diana.
I just found out that my mom's stage name was actually Sheri DeFore when she worked at the Troc. I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers her.
My grandmother in Jade Green, I was wondering if anyone had any footage of her. my Dad past away and was my only link to my past. My grandfather is Dj Humble Harve whom I also know nothing about. My Dad's post is above from 2006. If anyone has anything, I'd really appreciate the help.

Texas coach Mack Brown made the case Monday morning for Vince Young to get the Heisman Trophy.
Of course, Young hasn't played college since 2005, but Brown figures if Reggie Bush is forced to give back his Heisman Trophy, the award should go to Young.
"I think you have to go back and really give that choice to the Heisman Trust. If they take it away, I think Vince should be awarded the trophy . . . Vince was second in the voting, so even if they re-voted I would like to see Vince get it," the Longhorns football coach told The Dan Patrick Show.
"At this point it's irrelevant because the Heisman Trust has not decided to take it away," he added.
The NCAA determined that Bush received illegal benefits during his time at USC and those violations cost the school in sanctions and a bowl ban. While the Heisman Trust hasn't asked for Bush to return the trophy but there has been a growing sentiment that he should return the tainted award.
USC returned their version of Bush's Heisman as part of a campaign to distance themselves from the troubled running back.

Raise money for a good cause while eating and drinking (From Knutsford Guardian)

Raise money for a good cause while eating and drinking
5:30pm Saturday 8th September 2012 in News By James Wilson
SEVENTY people in Knutsford are needed to help raise over £10.7m – by drinking coffee and eating cake.
Macmillan Cancer Support wants this year's World's Biggest Coffee Morning to be the biggest ever after 30 people in Knutsford took part last year raising around £6,000.
So far 50 coffee mornings are set to take place across the Knutsford area. The charity is hoping more coffee mornings will take place, raising £9,000.
Across the UK Macmillan hopes to raise a massive £10.7m from the event, beating its £10m total from last year.
Macmillan's fundraising manager for Cheshire, Sarah Page, said: "Last year we raised a record-breaking amount of money form the World's Biggest Coffee Morning and we really hope we can repeat that again this year.
"I think it's a mark of how much people love this event that every year it gets bigger and bigger.
"People can be so busy, that catching up with friends, workmates or even family can be difficult.
"This event gives them a reason to make time for each other while also doing something really valuable for people with cancer and their families."
While the event has traditionally involved people having straightforward coffee mornings, people in Knutsford have expanded the event to include wine tasting evenings and quiz nights.
Fundraiser Sarah Page believes the flexibility of the event is another reason it's so successful.
She said: "We give all our hosts a fundraising pack and lots of ideas but whether they choose to have a coffee morning on the official event day, a cocktail evening at the weekend or a quiz event the week after is up to them.
"We want people to do something they enjoy with people they want to spend time with while raising some money for Macmillan.
"Sadly the number of people being diagnosed with cancer is increasing every year and that means Macmillan's support for people living with cancer is in more demand than ever.
"Every pound raised by those taking part in events like World's Biggest Coffee Morning helps us be there for someone with cancer when they need us most."
The official World's Biggest Coffee Morning day is on September 28. To find out more visit macmillan.org.uk/coffee or call 0845 602 1246.

When it comes to monetary policy, the Federal Reserve has just two jobs, and it's failing at both of them.
The Fed has a dual mandate to promote maximum employment and to keep prices stable.

image won't load and jquery
I have a few images in my wordpress theme that are just links like this, images/image_01.png but when I check the theme it doesn't show up. What is the problem? is there another way of linking to the images folder to get that image?
I'm testing it out on localhost using xampp
also the anything slider I have setup(not the wordpress version) isn't showing up. do I have to have jquery installed on my localhost also for it to show up?The images are in the themes image folder ? if so you have to set the path to
If you want to get the theme path in your template(eg. index.php) use<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/image_01.png" alt="some image" />
this might be the same issue why your script can't be found ?yes that's better, I knew it was something bloginfo but wasn't sure how it would be setup. Thanks for the help.
Anyone know the problem with the jquery not working?

News Corp.'s soon-to-be publishing company will begin life with no debt and about $2.6 billion in cash -- illustrating the parent company's attempt to provide the new entity with solid financials and money for acquisitions.
The new company, which will carry the News Corp. name when it is inaugurated this summer, will include the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, the New York Post, the Times of London, HarperCollins book publishing and an educational materials division called Amplify.
The assets have a combined value of $18.6 billion, according to a regulatory filing on Friday.

To get started, the new publishing arm will get an infusion of about $1.8 billion from the parent company. News Corp.'s remaining -- and more lucrative -- television properties and movie studio will be branded Fox Group. That company is expected to shoulder the company's current debt load of $16.5 billion.
Rupert Murdoch will be chairman of both companies, and also serve as chief executive of Fox Group. Former Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson, like Murdoch a native of Australia, has been promoted to chief executive of the publishing company.
Murdoch has long said the new publishing company would have the financial resources to survive and thrive at a time when the publishing industry has been weakened by readers and advertisers migrating to the Internet and mobile devices. Newspaper revenues have plummeted in recent years.
Still, the 81-year-old media baron is betting that companies that produce quality content will continue to prosper.
"Our strong balance sheet provides us with the financial flexibility to continue our development of premium content, make investments across our businesses to maintain our leadership position amidst the continuing digital evolution," News Corp. said in the filing.
The company said it intended to throw capital "towards investments in higher growth initiatives, and take advantage of strategic opportunities, including potential acquisitions, across the range of the media categories in which we operate."
News Corp. executives refuse to hint at what acquisitions they would like to make, although Murdoch is believed to be interested in the Los Angeles Times and in bulking up the company's book publishing business.
The Times' parent company, Tribune Co., emerged from bankruptcy on Dec. 31. This month, it hired investment bankers to shop for buyers for its newspapers.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, News Corp.'s publishing arm generated revenue of $8.7 billion. Of that, approximately 41% was generated in the U.S., 20% in Britain and 32% in Australia.
During the same period, the publishing group recorded a net loss of $2 billion, primarily from non-cash impairment charges.
Murdoch will control shares amounting to 39.4% of the new company. Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud will control 7%.
The filing also reminded investors that News Corp. continues to mop up the damage from the disastrous phone-hacking scandal at its tabloids in Britain. The company said it has spent about $200 million in the past two years for legal fees and civil settlements. The new entity will set aside an additional $70 million for other claims.
Rupert Murdoch says L.A. Times purchase not a sure thing
Murdoch sells $40 million in News Corp. voting shares as price soars
News Corp. name goes to publishing company; Thomson named CEO

MeTweets hits version 2.0, now available on the Windows Phone Store
Popular Twitter client MeTweets has been bumped to version 2 and the latest release is now available on the Wndows Phone Store. We previously looked at the app a few days ago when we managed to get a sneak peek at what consumers can expect to see in the update. From the new Smart Split and Smart Merge features to a new design for Timelines and profile pages, it's quite a sizeable release.
To recap on what we're looking at in the latest version:
- Smart Split/Smart Merge – MeTweets will now automatically split your tweet into multiple messages if you exceed the 140 character limit (likewise, it will recombine them too)
- Windows Phone 8 – Voice commands and tweet dictation supported
- In-app YouTube video playback
- In-app Readability support
- New design for Timelines
- New design for profile pages
- Indicator for unread tweets
- SkyDrive inline images
- Pull to refresh gesture for easier use
- MeTweets will now automatically filter the spam out of your mentions (Mentions that contain only a link, coming from a user you don't follow, will be hidden)
- Search for Images on Twitter
- Windows Phone app links will now automatically open in the Store (and not IE)
- In-app toast notifications
You can download MeTweets for $1.49 (trial available) from the Windows Phone Store.

GREAT! The "new tweet" tile now crashes at startup, I can no longer use it! -.-"
It worked fine before the update, something went wrong there.
Do you have the same issue? :|
namodenamer says:
No issue here on 7.8
dalydose says:
This is now my start screen Twitter app
namodenamer says:
Does this have realtime notif update like Rowi? *Sorry for my english* ^^
Fitorockx0 says:
Yes, notifications are as fast as rowi's.
I've been using MeTweets since December and I think it's the best twitter app in the store, even better than Rowi and Mehdoh.
Z3MN says:
Finally it's available in Indonesia! Kudos to developer! :)
Snow says:
You guys should review twabbit, its inline images is awesome
carlosrdd says:
What's the difference between the trial version and paid one? Trail one seems to have everything
accursedvenom says:
I am trying to decide which app is best now. I have gleek, rowi lite, metweets, and the official app. Been using gleek since I signed up for twitter, then the official app became useful, still use gleek though.

Some smart detective work by an Australian owner, after being told by his dealer he couldn't get his new MX5 because the factory has stopped making it in preparation for the facelifted car in July, found new parts in the Mazda EPC. Mk3.75/ NC3 will be using CX5 parts, and taking on a different look.
New parts:
New wheel design (left is the present 17" design):
The new wheels can be glimpsed here, on the NC Spyder sketchboard, top left, showing a green (new shade of green??) NC with a new wheel design, which the Spyder designers used for their render:
The new bumper will sort of looklike the Spyder concept (some differences though, the grill will still be "Smilie" shaped)
I'm not sure how that roof will work. I find it odd that the MX5 GT* does not have this face lift, still nothing to say it won't look like this if/when it goes into production.
*: Which was sounding louder than Audi R8s off the line at goodwood.
Bikini roofs are already available in the aftermarket; basically they take the front part of the roof frame, fit on a bit of cloth, and then hook it to the frankenstein bolts on the rear deck. In between, you must have a rollbar. Getting to be popular in the sunny parts of the US (Porsche did something like this on a Boxter special edition).
The GT is just a local kit that Mazda UK has put together for very little; all the parts are already available for sale. The only thing that they had to pay to be developed was the ECU map, so less than the cost of an ad on Pick TV.
Ditto for the German Yusho concept; everything they fitted on that was TUV approved aftermarket. Probably cost Mazda Germany even less to develop.
These are both local projects done for not much money. They won't ever sell many (how many £30,000 MX5s is Mazda UK going to sell with a ECU held in place by sticky tape?), but enough to create a little buzz in the showroom, and shift metal. The GT package can easily be applied to the NC3, except maybe the spoiler, since there are going to be no mechanical changes.
Mazda North America (with a much bigger marketing budget) spent a bit more money on the SEMA Spyder and Super20, but both are quite cheap. The Bikini top is easy enough that people have been making their own. The Spyder has no mechanical changes. The Super20 uses a FM-Cosworth off-the-shelf supercharger. Again, MNAO didn't actually have to break much sweat on that. US specials with mechanical changes are pretty much impossible without CARB certification (without which, no sales in California), so they might have to be happy with a $500 Bikini top and a spyder cover, and pay more for less. I don't see anything unusual that Mazda UK haven't used the upcoming model; if they did, it will be kind of pointless them taking the Kuro sticker edition to Goodwood.
The images I have linked to are from the official Mazda global parts catalogue, and have just been added. The NC2 is due a facelift, because its been around for 4 years now. (NA6; 1989-93, NA8; 93-97, NB; 98-2001, NBFL; 2001-2005, NC1; 2005-2008, NC2; 2008-)
The face lift is official. Snaps taken in Japan from a dealership catalogue (already!)
Major change is that the bonnet is now a pop-up design.
Pop-up bonnet (DHS) details;
More (but maybe/probably some fakery);
we got there first but the news is spreading...
No, we didn't get there first. Some chaps on Minkara happened on it, then coincidently an Australian dealer let slip to a miataforum member that production of the NC2 had already stopped. Which he shouldn't have done, considering Mazda now want to shift Kuro special editions. Then my Google-fu was strong.
Official Mazda statement:
HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation has upgraded the Mazda Roadster (known overseas as the Mazda MX-5) for the Japanese market. The refreshed two-seater open-top sports car goes on sale today at all Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships throughout Japan.
The design of the upgraded Roadster distinguishes between the sporty character of the soft top and the refined character of the power retractable hard top (RHT) through the use of coordinated black and silver features respectively. The front face of both versions has been redesigned to present a more aggressive look. For the interior, a new luxury tan color is available for the genuine leather seats. In addition, revised characteristics of the throttle and brake booster (power braking device) have improved control of the accelerator in the manual transmission models and the brakes in all models. The enhancements add polish to the pure driving pleasure which has made the Roadster (MX-5) famous.
In addition, the updated Roadster features an Active Bonnet (pedestrian protection system) which raises the rear end of the bonnet in the event of an accident to reduce impact to the head.
Main features of the upgraded Mazda Roadster
A distinct character for the RHT and Soft-top version
Sports car driving pleasure taken to the next level
Newly developed active bonnet for all model grades

Veteran Biarritz forward Imanol Harinordoquy admitted he was relieved to be among the France squad unveiled by new coach Philippe Saint-Andre for this year's Six Nations despite a left knee injury.
The 31-year-old said he had been awaiting the squad selection "with great apprehension" particularly as he had not played for the past few weeks after taking a knock in the European Cup.
"I'm very happy to be part of the group because you're never sure of anything, above all because I wasn't sure where I stood since I hadn't played the last few matches with Biarritz," he explained.
"Obviously I'm proud to be there among the group because I want to continue the adventure with the France team. My aim is to go on until the World Cup in 2015 if everything goes well."
Saint-Andre kept faith with the 22 members of the squad that reached the World Cup final last year and named Harinordoquy among a 30-strong side to prepare for the Six Nations tournament.
"I know it's not the definitive list for the tournament but I'm very happy to be on it," Harinordoquy continued.
"I also know that it's a long road and that it's already a first step even if it's a group of 30 and that obviously for the first match of the Six Nations there will be 23 players.
"I'm excited by the chance to work with a new staff, with a new approach. It's always motivating for a player to change his habits and not fall into a routine."
"I looked a bit at the lineup and the coaches have relied quite heavily on the group who played the World Cup.
"That will allow for a continuity and obviously to build it's easier as we all know each other already.
"It will allow us to continue in a positive fashion because even if we didn't win the final, in the final stages something happened in the group. Our game became automatic, there was a certain cohesion.
"I think that can help to kick the tournament off knowing that for the first match we'll only have three or four days to prepare. We'll need to get down to work and knowing each other well will help us."
France lost 7-8 to the All Blacks in the World Cup final last year.
Their Six Nations opener is against Italy at Stade de France on February 4.

Protect Yourself With a Travel Health Insurance Policy
Purchase peace of mind so you know you're covered in case of emergency
Explore This Story
1 | Photo |
Whether you are out of the country for a few days or a few weeks, securing travel health insurance before you leave should be considered an essential part of the planning process. "Costs for medical care in the United States and many places around the world can be very expensive," says John Thain, president of the Travel Health Insurance Association of Canada (
). "Travel insurance helps take care of you and your family and can protect your finances." Thain recommends buying your health insurance policy from a regulated insurance company, and allowing sufficient time to complete the application process before you leave, particularly if you are required to answer medical questions.
Here, he provides some important tips to snowbirds.
Do not rely solely on your government health insurance plan
While you will have some coverage in the event of an emergency, you need to supplement the small amount the government would provide with a plan that will offer more protection. "Provincial government health plans pay only a very small portion of medical expenses incurred outside of Canada," says Thain. "Specialists can help you navigate health-care services outside of Canada and guide you in seeking and receiving proper treatment. If something unexpected happens, you will have someone to turn to for help."
Know what you're buying
Thain recommends asking your travel insurance advisor or your insurance company about different plan options: single-trip policy, an annual multi-trip policy or top-up-to-credit card coverage. Be sure to clarify anything you do not understand.
Read through and understand your policy
Rather than take a buy-now-ask-questions-later approach, make sure you understand your policy before you leave. "Insurance companies can have many different approaches to benefits, exclusions, limitations, eligibility and, especially, pre-existing conditions," says Thain. "It is critical to read and understand your policy before you travel in order to avoid unexpected surprises."
Inform your insurer about changes to your health
If something happens between the time you purchase your insurance and the time you leave, you need to inform your provider. This could result in changes to your policy, warns Thain. "Be an informed consumer, know your own health and understand your travel insurance policy."
Three misconceptions travellers have about health insurance:
- Travel insurance is a substitute for your provincial health insurance plan while you are out of the country.
That is not the case. Travel insurance is for unexpected emergencies only.
- There is no need for travel health insurance if you are cross-border shopping and will be gone for only a day or two.
That is not the case. Emergencies can happen at any time to anyone.
- Once I have my policy, all of my pre-existing conditions will be covered.
That is not the case. It is essential to review your policy and understand how it defines pre-existing conditions and how terms such as "stable," "controlled" and "treatment" relate to your personal medical history. Ask your doctor for help in answering medical questions that you are not sure about, including medications, tests you are undergoing or have scheduled and any referral to specialists you have recently had.

Recently I was reading some online reviews of the books I've worked on. Never a great idea. But the Internet exists if for no other reason than to make you more neurotic.
Anyway, I found one concerning The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot. An illustrator had left a comment like, " It looks OK. Basically he just ripped off the minions from Despicable Me."
Ouch! I have to admit, the alien kids do look similar. But the sad part, or good part, is I designed that book long before that movie came out. And here's the story about that.
I started designing the aliens as soon as the contract came in. I was really excited. My first drafts had all three eyed-alien kids and that crazy multi-eyed robot. I was into lots of eyes…I tried making the characters blue, but I didn't like it. So I defaulted to a yellow-green/acid-green coloring for them because that coloring looked great atop all the deep-space backgrounds the book featured. And they are aliens…come on. I'm not the most original colorist.
So I turned in my first designs, I got notes back and the art director asked what I thought about each of the aliens having a different number of eyes so kids can more easily tell them apart. Cool idea. I did that and was soon moving forward painting the roughs.
About halfway through the book I went to Apple Trailers one day and – nearly wet my pants when I saw the first full trailer for Despicable Me that featured the Minions. I believe that the earliest teaser trailers didn't have the minions in them. Well, I freaked out. Looked online for anything about them and started alternative character designs. I wrote the editor and art director, who had seen the roughs, telling them I would have to change everything because my characters look similar to these other characters in a new movie.
The art director wrote back saying, don't bother changing them. They loved my characters as they were. The characters in the book are kids, they are not minions. And there are lots of characters with similar traits in books and films.
And so that's how I became a big, fat, plagiarist…not.

Interesting, Historical and Scenic village - lots of photo opps!
Can be very busy indeed
In a nutshell
Neat and tidy - a quintessential Victorian village.
Hello this is the main car park you see as you enter the town, its visible and its opp the Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop, its called the " changegate" car park.
They have been named and shamed on many a TV program, been spoken about in our house of commons, etc etc.
the reason is not only the clamping that is indiscriminate but they employ all sorts of tricks to get you.
They have people waiting for you to come in, they will drive out and stop and offer you their ticket....
they will fiddle with the clock to make you out of time
they use thier own vehicles to push you out of the parking bay boundaries and will do anything else to make sure you get a 75 pound clamp on your car!
Our b&B never warned us of this car park and not only is the fine steep and unfair but the men in there scare people, they are large and aggressive thugs and yet no pne in the village does anything about it.
Unique Suggestions: Do not go there, to this car park there are council run carpars - drive around, ask people, but do not park in the change gate car park. You will get clamped and it will ruin your experience.
