It's official, and just in time for anyone in the area who may be doing a little pre-fishing for the big ice fishing tournament this weekend, the city's four season fish cleaning station is open for business.
It's official, and just in time for anyone in the area who may be doing a little pre-fishing for the big ice fishing tournament this weekend, the city's four season fish cleaning station is open for business. At Tuesday's meeting the Devils Lake City Commission learned more about the facility from Mike Grafsgaard, the city's engineer.
Located behind Ed's Bait Shop on Highway 20 south of the city the new facility can be accessed by stopping into Ed's and obtaining an access code number.
The facility consists of two stainless steel tables and two substantial grinders to dispose of the fish bones and debris, room for at least eight people to filet at one time.
It can be accessed from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily and is a cooperative effort with the Game and Fish Conservancy District, the Devils Lake Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, the city of Devils Lake and the Lake Region Anglers.
It's the Lake Region Anglers who have taken on the project to maintain the building and keep it clean but they're hoping the anglers themselves will respect the space and do their part, as well.
Anyone can use the facility and there is no charge but anglers must bring their own filet knives and storage baggies because those items are not provided. "It's just like the other fish cleaning sites we have around the lake," explained Grafsgaard. "The only difference is that it is in a heated building so it can be used in the wintertime, as well."
Instructions will be posted in the building listing how the equipment in the building should be used and a contracted local company will clean the facility once a day. According to Grafsgaard there are a few minor things that need to be finished in the building, but for the most part, it is ready to be used and open to the public. A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for sometime in the near future to officially declare the site open for use.
Other business
At the outset of the meeting two public hearings were completed. The first to review the final plat for East Bay Walmart Subdivision on Highway 2 east with highway commercial and agricultural zoning. Attorneys representing Walmart's interests were present at the meeting and one, Jade Rosenfeldt, addressed the commission explaining the process from this point on as the transaction is completed.
The second public hearing was to review the final plat for the second addition to Quiet Acres Subdivision, 24th Ave. SW, south of County Road No. 1, with residential rural suburban zoning.
Both hearings were concluded and the commission voted to accept the recommendations from the planning commission and approved both final plats.
Bid openings for a new police vehicle resulted in Chief Keith Schroeder being asked to review the bids and bring back his recommendations to the commission.
The payment of an appraisal invoice was tabled to the next meeting until the commission and the city's attorney can look over the original agreement with the company to determine why the bill was nearly double what was expected.

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) lets you create a central repository for sharing reports across an enterprise. However, there are times when you might need more functionality. For example, you might need reports that are tightly integrated with an application (e.g., reports that are distributed as part of an application, reports that appear in an application's window).There are also times when you might need reports that are less centralized, perhaps for a stand-alone, custom application or an environment in which connectivity to a report server isn't available. The ReportViewer control in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is the key to all this functionality.
The ReportViewer control is a flexible tool that you can use in Windows and Web forms to display two types of reports. The first type is a server report, which requires an SSRS report server. The report server provides the values for the report parameters, creates the data sets, and renders the report. The ReportViewer control then displays the rendered report within an application window. When you create server reports, you're using the remote processing mode.
The second type is a local report. Local reports are distributed within an application and don't require an SSRS server. However, freedom from the tether to a reporting server comes at a price.The application must provide the values for the report parameters and create all the data sets. The ReportViewer control renders the report. When you create local reports, you're using the local processing mode.
Creating a Server Report
Using the ReportViewer control in the remote processing mode is by far the simpler of the two modes of operation. You just need to create an instance of the control in an application form and point it at a report residing on an SSRS report server. Here's the step-by-step procedure for creating a server report:
- Place a ReportViewer control in the Windows or Web form.
Open the ReportViewer Tasks dialog box by clicking the small black triangle in the upper right corner of the Report Viewer control. In this dialog box, select
- In the ReportViewer Tasks dialog box, enter the URL to the report server's Web service in the Report Server Url text box. In the Report Path text box, enter the pathname to the target report. The pathname must start with a forward slash (/) to represent the home folder on the report server. This path is also used when rendering a report through the report server's Web service or through URL access to the report server.
That's all there is to it. When the Report-Viewer control loads, it requests the report from the report server's Web service. The report is rendered in a format known as Remote Graphics Device Interface (RGDI), which is the same format used for ad hoc reports displayed by SQL Server 2005's Report Builder. The RGDI format is for internal use by ReportViewer and Report Builder. You won't see it in the Export dropdown list in SSRS's Report Manager because its visibility is set to false in the report server's configuration file.
When you run the application, the report appears in the viewer just as it would appear in a browser if you were using Report Manager. Figure 2 shows a sample server report. If the report has any parameters, you'll be prompted for their values. If the report supports any navigation features (e.g., drill-down), you can use those navigation features.
Creating a Local Report
To use the ReportViewer control in the local processing mode, you must create a local report, along with its data set, in your Windows or Web form. Here's the step-by-step procedure:
- Place a ReportViewer control in the Windows or Web form.
- Open the ReportViewer Tasks dialog box. Click the Design a new report link, which creates a report named Report1.rdlc. Open this file in the report-designer window.
- Click the Add New Data Source link in the left pane to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard. The wizard asks you where you want the report to get its data from. You can use a database, a Web service, or a Microsoft .NET object as the data source for your report. For this example, leave the default Database option selected and click Next.
- Define the data connection that the data source will use. Select an existing data connection if one has been defined previously, or click the New Connection option to create a new data connection. If you're defining a new connection, complete this process. Click Next when you're done.
- Select whether you want to store the connection string information in the application's configuration file or whether you want to leave the information embedded in the code. Saving the connection string in the configuration file provides more flexibility because the database environment can change. After you specify the connection string's location, click Next.
Select the items from the data source you want to include in the data set. When you use a database as a data source, the items can include tables, views, stored procedures, and functions. Not only can you select the database objects but also specific fields from those objects, as Figure 3 shows. After you select the database items, click Finish. The wizard then creates a typed data set, which shows up as an XML Schema Definition (XSD) item in the Solution Explorer window. This typed data set serves as the data source for the report.
- With the data set available in the Data Sources window, you can create the report just as you would create any other SSRS report. The only difference is that the report designer doesn't include a Data tab or Preview tab. The data comes from the typed data set, so there's no need for a Data tab. Because the report is previewed by executing the application, there's no need for a Preview tab. (Note that the example here doesn't support report parameters or subreports. I'll show you how to use them in Part 2.)
- After the report is complete, return to the form that contains the Report-Viewer control. To assign the new local report to ReportViewer, select the report from the Choose Report dropdown list in the ReportViewer Tasks dialog box. You'll see that the wizard has added DataSet, BindingSource, and TableAdapter objects to the form-design window. These objects provide the data for the local report.
When you run the application, the local report appears in a ReportViewer window, as Figure 4 shows.This report is added to the project as a Report Definition Language Client (.rdlc) file because it's a client-side report.
The .rdlc file is almost identical to the standard Report Definition Language (.rdl) file that you can create and deploy to an SSRS report server. The only difference is the rd:DataSetInfo section in the .rdlc file. Figure 5 shows this section, which Visual Studio 2005 uses to add objects and generate code inside the form hosting Report Viewer. The rd:DataSetInfo section provides the information needed to create and fill the DataSet, BindingSource, and TableAdapter objects and link them to the local report.
By default, local reports are compiled right into the application's .exe or .dll files. This feature makes the reports self-contained and easy to distribute. However, there are two possible drawbacks. First, you need to create a ReportViewer control for each local report that you want to make available to end users. Second, revising an existing report or adding a new report to an application requires that you recompile and redistribute that application. Thus, if you need to create numerous reports or if you have a dynamic reporting environment, using the local processing mode might not be desirable.
Coming Attractions
The ReportViewer control is a powerful tool for integrating reports into Windows and Web form applications. This control lets you easily display reports from an SSRS report server. It also provides an easy, wizard-driven method for creating local reports that are compiled and distributed with your application. You can do even more if you're willing to write a few lines of Visual Basic .NET or Visual C# code. As you'll see in Part 2, you can, for example, store local report definitions outside the application so that you can add new reports or update existing reports without having to recompile and redistribute the application. You can also support report parameters and subreports.

text: Unfavorable winds are often found in complex terrain and these complicated flow phenomena such as flow separation and vortex shedding can cause difficulties in siting of wind turbines. This paper uses a DES method to depict the unsteady flows observed in the vicinity of a wind turbine location. A costal site is selected for this study. It has been observed that the variations of wind velocities and wind directions may be large across the rotor area. The large differences in wind velocity and wind direction can cause problems to a wind turbine in operation. The CFD simulations may provide useful information to siting engineers and decision makers. As a result, wind risks associated with complex terrain may be identified to avoid unnecessary financial losses in the investment of a wind farm.

Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8
Hi KCThanks - been considering this - but Tota-light lamps are rated at 3200K. How serious an issue is thisinsofar as a 5000K D50 Polarized light source is the goal. I know I could use ColorChecker to get thefinal white point and overall color correction - (I am sure you have used as well). I do like (1) the abilityto control the throw light (can they be positioned vertically?) and use the frame to mount diffusion filterand polarizing gel (can they be sandwiched - guessing so) - My conundrum is that I am in New Zealandso the 120V standard version of the bulbs will not work without a step-up transformer....Your thoughts - particularly on the 3200K issue.Thanks in advancejohn
Hi Chris16' x 16' (even light) - wow - with respect to heads - are you referring to tota-lights - not sure here.And yes - you are absolutely right about a dedicated lens - I am looking at theMicro-Nikkor AF-S 60mm f/2.8 G ED N (FX) - similar to the Zeiss you mentioned.Nice idea about stacking - guessing an extra piece of hardware/gear needed here - can you suggestStill sorting this out in my mind - I am an painter first of all - still learning about the photography ropes.Great that there is this kind of a forum - a real world learning environment.
So if I want to learn to paint ? Do you think I'll be able to learn how from opinions garnered on the internet ? Will they all be valid ?

Vehicles need protection during storms
Keep paperwork and cars safe during hurricanes
Vehicles need protection during storms
Keep paperwork and cars safe during hurricanes
ORLANDO, Fla. —
It may not be a first thought when preparing for a hurricane, but getting a vehicle prepared is important.
Motorists should be sure cars are in good shape before a storm hits, and the vehicle's title should be kept in a safe and dry place.
The vehicle's gas tank should also be filled.
>>Download the WESH 2 Hurricane Tracker app for iOS and Android
During and after the storm, drivers should avoid roads that can't be clearly seen. Potholes could damage a vehicle and leave the driver stranded.
Take down items stored in the garage above the car if you plan to keep it there through the storm.
Covering a car with a thick padding or tarp -- even if it is in the garage -- will help ensure the vehicle is protected from wind-blown debris.

Teoctist (Arapasu) of Romania
His Beatitude Teoctist (Arapaşu) is the fifth and current Archbishop of Bucharest and Patriarch of all Romania. He was born in the village of Tocileni, Botoşani county, Moldova, to Dumitru and Marghioala Arapaşu on February 7, 1915. He was baptised with the name Toader.
In 1928 he became a novice at Sihastria Voronei hermitage and later at Vorona Monastery, both in Botoşani county. In 1930 he entered the monastic seminary at Neamţ Monastery and in 1935 took monastic vows at Bistriţa-Neamţ Monastery, receiving the name Teoctist. In 1937 he was ordained as hierodeacon and in 1945 as hieromonk. On March 5, 1950, he was ordained bishop by Patriarch Iustinian.
On September 25, 1977, he was elected Archbishop of Iaşi and Metropolitan of Moldova and Bucovina, and on November 19, 1986, he was enthroned as Archbishop of Bucharest and all Romania.
After the December Revolution of 1989, Patriarch Teoctist offered his resignation to the Holy Synod in penitence for the Church compliance with some of the abuses of the previous communist regime. The Holy Synod chose to ask him to return to the position to which he had been elected in 1986 after receiving requests that he do so from faithful across Romania.

Maybe it was because the Bruins were defending Stanley Cup champions this season and everyone was trying to go at them harder than ever.
Whatever the reason, Shawn Thornton had to increase his fight card to 20 bouts – tied for most in the league – after he battled in 14 the season before.
Maybe the extra time in the penalty box took its toll on Thornton's offensive production, which was basically halved, but it was still a solid year for Boston's popular fourth-line right winger.
Thornton continued to be a glue guy in the dressing room when he wasn't teaming with Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille to provide Boston with one of the league's best energy lines. He again decided to skip free agency and re-up for the Bruins at a salary that he might've exceeded on the open market, and now will be one of the leaders tasked with getting the Bruins back in the frame of mind that will make them want to return to the mountaintop after getting knocked off.
If they shopped around the league or in their own farm system, the Bruins probably wouldn't be able to find someone that does all the things Thornton does, and does them willingly, at the price they pay. So this marriage will continue, and Thornton will try to make sure his statistics better reflect his high effort level in 2012-13.
Regular season: 81 GP, 5-8-13, minus-7
Playoffs: 5 GP, 0-0-0, Even
Contract status: Signed through 2013-14 at a cap hit of $1.1 million
Regular season recap
Highlight: Thornton earned a rare penalty shot and made the most of it with a backhand goal during a 5-3 win against Winnipeg Jan. 10. He came out of the penalty box (after a phantom penalty against him) and drew a slash from Tim Stapleton. Thornton also used his fists to punish former Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart during the victory.
Lowlight: Like most of the Bruins, Thornton had a night to forget in Dallas on New Year's Eve. In 7:56 of ice time he was point-less, failed to land a shot on goal and took a costly penalty against Dallas defenseman Mark Fistric in a 4-2 loss.
Playoff recap: After five point-less games against Washington, Thornton was scratched in favor of Jordan Caron the last two games of the seven-game loss. Head coach Claude Julien later explained the move was necessary because Boston needed Caron's skill and versatility in the lineup in case Patrice Bergeron was unable to give the Bruins much due to injury.
Grade: B-plus. Thornton was as gritty and could be, but he needed to find some of the finish that made him a threat in 2010-11.
Carnac predicts … pushed once again this fall by Boston's up-and-comers, Thornton continues to be an inspirational leader on the ice and returns to double-digit goals. But it could be his farewell tour as a regular member of the Bruins' lineup.

|Date Assessed:
|Kingdon, J., Butynski, T.M. & De Jong, Y.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Least Concern as this species is very widespread and abundant and although persecuted as a crop raider there are no major threats believed to be resulting in a range-wide population decline.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This is the most extensively distributed of the baboons, ranging throughout the Sahelian woodland and forest-mosaic habitats from southern Mauritania and Mali to the Sudan and southwards to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania. Outlying populations inhabit the Tibesti and Air massifs in the Sahara. In East Africa, the distribution is actively changing. Wherever the range of this species encounters that of other species there are hybrid zones and a strong implication that it is a species which is still in a phase of active expansion. For example, it forms a narrow hybrid zone with P. hamadryas below the Awash Falls and elsewhere in northern Ethiopia, and hybridizes with P. cynocephalus in the eastern part of Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks in Kenya. There is a broad clinal hybrid zone of P. anubis x P. cynocephalus between Laikipia District, just to the north-east and east of Mt. Kenya, and the Lower Tana River, Kenya coast. Baboons in this >200-km wide region are intermediate and cannot be readily allocated to either P. anubis or P. cynocephalus (baboons become increasingly "yellow-like" in their phenotypes towards the Kenya Coast; T. Butynski and Y. de Jong pers. comm.). Papio anubis x P. cynocephalus are found in the Pare and Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, and elsewhere sporadically along a north-east/south-west trending line across the region. It is possible that this species has caused the ranges of neighbouring, smaller baboon species to contract. Sympatric with Cercopithecus pygerythrus, Erythrocebus patas and Cercopithecus mitis (T. Butynski and Y. de Jong pers. comm.). Ranges to 2,500 m asl (T. Butynski and Y. de Jong pers. comm.).

In open areas, it primarily feed on grasses, while in forests the principal food is fruits. Resin or gum act as buffers in dry seasons and locusts provide the occasional glut. As a result of this variable feeding strategy, there are differences in social organization and behaviour. Males may form associations called 'cabals' which can show co-operation or have elements of hierarchy.
|Major Threat(s):
|In the long term, the Olive Baboon is probably excluded from closed forests by competition and disease. Is actively persecuted in places as a pest species.
|Conservation Actions:
|It is listed under Appendix II of CITES, and as Vermin under the African Convention. Found in a number of protected areas, including Tsavo and Lake Manyara National Parks. The isolated subpopulations on Saharan massifs merit further research.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cirque du Soleil will mark the 25th anniversary of its first trip to New York next year with a visit by its high-octane show "Totem."
The show will open March 14 at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
Since its world premiere in 2010, "Totem," written and directed by Robert Lepage, has visited over 16 different cities in four different countries. After New York, it goes to Philadelphia in May.
According to Cirque, the show "traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly." It features acrobats on parallel bars, in aerial rings, on a trapeze, in roller skates and on unicycles.
The last Cirque show in New York was the summer return of "Zarkana."

Electric Hybrid Bus
|Green Initiative:
|Clean Air Hybrid Vehicle
|SBU Transit Vehicle Number:
|Powered By:
|All Electric / Diesel Hybrid Bus
Stony Brook University acquired a plug-in, diesel hybrid bus from the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) in Fall 2010. The plug-in, diesel hybrid bus was originally manufactured by El Dorado National as a diesel powered bus and later converted to a dual mode, electric / diesel hybrid drivetrain by the Odyne Corporation for the Long Island Power Authority / National Grid.
The dual mode bus operates as based on the following parameters:
All Electric Mode: In this mode, the bus is completely powered by zero emission battery technology, and does not require any diesel fuel to operate. In the all electric mode, the bus' range in miles varies as dependent on outside air temperature, battery condition and battery charging status.
All Electric Mode Advantages: Zero emissions, no diesel fuel required
Diesel Hybrid Mode: In this mode, the bus uses zero emission battery technology as its primary source of power, however when the battery technology begins to draw down, the bus' electronic system activates a small diesel engine which recharges its' batteries. Although this mode involves using a small diesel engine during limited periods of time, this operating mode increases the range of the bus.
Diesel Hybrid Mode Advantages: Significant fuel savings, decreased maintenance & operation expenses, increased bus range
Stony Brook University's Bus #64 is a Clear Air Hybrid Vehicle which is used in SBU Transit Service in an effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions, decrease the University's carbon footprint and decrease our diesel fuel consumption.

Cameron PD: Robber uses jacket hood to disguise himself
No employees hurt
CAMERON, Mo. —
Cameron police are searching for a man who robbed a convenience store early Wednesday morning.
Police said that a man dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt walked into the North Casey's General Store at 405 W. Grand Ave. at 4:43 a.m. and demanded money.
Investigators said the hood was pulled so tight around the man's face that only his eyes and nose were showing.
The robber ran off after getting some cash. Only employees were in the store at the time and they were not hurt.
Police said the robber was described as being about 5 feet 10 inches tall, and he was wearing a black or dark green Carhartt-type work coat with black pants.
Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Cameron Police Department at 816-632-6521.

Right in the middle of the Cass County organization we find that there is a deed in the Crow Wing County Deed books where George and Amarilla are selling land to a Dennis [Sixton]. This is a form deed that was filled out and is the county clerk's version of the deed.
This indenture made this 3rd day of May in the year of our Lord 1897, between George A. Barclay and Amarilla Barclay his wife at Crow Wing County, Minnesota part of his of the first part and Dennis Sixton of said County, part of the second part…..
the southeast quarter of the northeast quarter (SE 4 NE 4) of Section Eight (8) in Township one hundred and thirty-seven (137) of Range Twenty-nine (29) and containing forty (40) acres more or less according to government survey thereof.
In the presence of S.F. Alderman, and L.E. [Slerus] signed by George A. Barclay and Ammarilla Barclay.
I, S. F. Alderman…..3rd day of May 1897 personally came before me George A. Barclay & Ammarilla Barclay his wife to me well known as the same persons described in and who executed the deed…they acknowledged that he executed the same freely and voluntarily as his free act and deed. S. F. Alderman, Notary Public, Crow Wing Co., Minn.
Source: Deed Book Y, pg. 112 Instrument No. #9727, filed for record 3rd of May 1897 at 3 pm. [A. Mahlum] Register of Deeds, Crown Wing Co., MN.
When I use the brackets [ ] it means I am making my best guess on the spelling of that word or name. The other interesting piece of information is that in this deed Amarilla is spelling her name with two "m's," and may have signed it that way in the original.

This article was reported by Medical Xpress.
Medical Xpress reported that the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents (GR) University launched a community-based program, SHE PREVAILS, to reduce HIV infections by treating substance abuse and mental health problems among African-American women. Funded by a three-year, $1.6 million Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant, the intervention began with substance abuse and mental health screening and referral of 1,600 women in 15 counties in the Augusta, Ga., area and followed up with six months of comprehensive care.
Dr. Lara Stepleman, director of HIV psychological services at GR Health System and SHE PREVAILS program director, explained that women with substance abuse issues who were not HIV-positive had higher risk of making choices that could lead to HIV infection. HIV-positive women who were untreated were more likely to make choices that could infect others. Stepleman described the program as "building a bridge between identification of a need for treatment and willingness to get treatment."
Stepleman noted that most of the women in the GR Health System HIV clinic were African American and many already were very sick when they sought help. As matriarchs, the women often felt obliged to care for family members before themselves and would not reveal their HIV infections. CDC estimated that HIV incidence for black women was 12 times higher than for white women in Georgia.
Treatment navigators would address collateral issues, including safe, affordable housing and unhealthy sexual relationships, with participants, and would assist them in gaining access to care. The program also provided HIV prevention classes and treatment for women with a history of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. SAMHSA funding would allow GR Health System to add a second treatment navigator and augment existing screening efforts carried out by the Ryan White team in the clinic's Infectious Diseases section.

2012 marks the end of a 26,000 year astrological period as recognized by many of the ancient wisdom traditions. It has been prophesied that our world will NOT end it will be spiritually transformed.
We have seen many changes in 2011 on both the global and personal fronts. Civil uprising in the middle east and now in North America with the Occupy Movements. Earthquakes and other earth changes and increased solar activity. Some keywords for this coming time are enlightenment, truth, hope, peace, awakening, awareness, intuition and love.
A lot of people ask, "How can I Prepare for 2012?
You will need all of your Energy here in the Present Moment to manage the vast changes coming in this NEW AGE. As humans our energy can get locked in the past – feeding old stories, memories and false beliefs about ourself with our attention.
One thing you can do is to Let Go of anything that is no longer serving your highest potential anything that is no longer true for you. AND only YOU know what you need to let go of.
5 Ways to Prepare for 2012
1. Reflect on your own Personal Changes in 2011
This year you may have experienced a new career, a new baby, death of a loved one, relocated to a new home, divorced or separated, suffered a health crisis, had money issues, a legal dispute, a New ____?
Take time to honor all of these experiences, people and challenges that have brought you to the person you are in this very moment. Are there any grudges or resentments that you are holding on to? Writing a list or letters of forgiveness will help release the past from your psyche.
2. Gratitude For the Angels in Disguise
Bring gratitude to those people who brought the most upset into your life – your so-called 'enemies'. Our enemies can be our medicine. These problem people are often angels in disguise. It is our enemies that force us to change and grow, not our friends. Bring gratitude to all the challenges you faced in 2011. These experiences are gifts from the Universe that are making you stronger and removing anything that is not in Truth for you. Write letters of gratitude to these angels.
3. Turn 'Fix Yourself' into 'Accept Yourself' – You are Perfect
Most New Year's resolutions come from thoughts that we are broken and need to be fixed. Instead of focusing on your flaws – focus on your strengths. Learn to accept the parts of yourself you don't like – find the gift in these qualities. Real change comes from the necessary first step of acceptance of all parts of the self. In the Aquarian Age you must be YOU – embrace your uniqueness this year.
4. Flow with Life instead of Fighting Life
Massive change is here all around us and it is only speeding yo. Nothing is wrong with you or with the world – it is just changing. Consciousness is expanding. Learn to embrace change. For example, if you lose your job – don't fight it – or hold on to the old. Let go – the Universe doesn't like a vacuum – it means that something wonderful is coming your way.
5. 40-Second Meditation for Peace
Download 40 Second Peace Meditation
"This meditation takes care of phobias, fears and neurosis. It can remove unsettling thoughts from the past that surface into the present. It can take difficult situations in the present and release them into the hands of Infinity. All this can be done in just 40 seconds!" – Yogi Bhajan (master of Kundalini Yoga)

Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara said before he left for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game in Raleigh that he wanted to get picked by Team Lidstrom in the All-Star Fantasy Draft.
Although they are contemporaries, Chara has always admired Detroit superstar Nicklas Lidstrom — both as a player and a person.
Tonight, however, Eric Staal shattered Chara's dreams. The Carolina forward and Lidstrom's opposite number as a team captain at the All-Star game picked Chara in the fourth round. Undoubtedly, Staal knows from all the battles Boston and Carolina have staged the last few years in the regular season and playoffs that he wants the '09 Norris Trophy winner on his side.
Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas was selected by Lidstrom, which means he might have to get in the way of a Chara slap shot in Sunday's game.
Tyler Seguin's group of rookies will play for Team Staal in the SuperSkills competition. I'm not exactly sure why that even matters.

Attorney General Lockyer Announces Release of Report Providing Detailed Overview of California Gambling's Scope and Impact
State Research Bureau Report Surveys Economic Effects, Societal Costs and Benefits
(SACRAMENTO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced the release of "Gambling in the Golden State: 1998 Forward," a California Research Bureau (Bureau) report that provides a detailed overview of the current scope of gambling, and its effects on the state's economy and residents.
"The past eight years have seen a rapid expansion of tribal casinos, Internet gambling and electronic games, and consolidation in California's horseracing and cardroom industries," said Lockyer. "These changes present significant challenges for the public, policymakers and regulators as we seek to successfully address the many issues associated with the integration of gambling into the state's social and economic life. With its wealth of updated information, this report should prove very useful to decision-makers as they confront these challenges."
Citing the substantially altered landscape of gambling in California, Lockyer in 2005 asked the Bureau to prepare the report. Lockyer's office houses the state Division of Gambling Control. The Division investigates the qualifications of casino and cardroom operators and employees, and monitors their conduct for compliance with state laws and regulations. Additionally, the Attorney General serves as counsel to the California State Lottery Commission.
Among the 176-page report's key findings:
Scope – Gross gambling revenues in California totaled about $13 billion in 2004, including Indian casinos, cardrooms, horseracing, the State Lottery and Internet gambling. Tribal casino revenues rose from $3.67 billion in 2002 to $5.78 billion in 2004, an increase of 36.5 percent.
Citing figures from Lockyer's office, the report shows gross revenues at cardrooms totaled $656 million in 2004, an 8.5 increase from the $600 million earned in 2003. Betting on horseracing declined slightly in fiscal 2004-05, falling by $138 million to $4.1 billion. State Lottery revenues totaled $2.97 billion in 2004, up 5.9 percent from 2003.
As of 2004, California had 56 tribal casinos, with 58,100 slot machines and 1,820 gaming tables. Reflecting consolidation in the cardroom industry, the number of cardrooms dropped from 113 to 98 from 2001 to 2005, while the number of tables increased from 1,473 to 1,515.
State revenue sharing– From 2001-04, tribal casinos earned roughly $17 billion in gross revenues. From 2000 through September 2005, the gaming tribes paid 3.1 percent of that total, or $543.4 million, into two state revenue-sharing funds. Recently-negotiated compacts with the state will increase the tribes' revenue sharing responsibilities. Additionally, a 2003 study by San Diego County found that local gaming tribes donated more than $7 million to community organizations. (The state does not track tribes' charitable contributions.) The State Lottery's contribution to public education in fiscal 2003-04 was $1.1 billion, which comprised three percent of the $35.9 billion in state expenditures that year. In 2004, the state received $39.5 million in fees from horseracing, a little more than 1 percent of total gross statewide revenues, while local governments received more than $7 million. Total fees paid by cardrooms have remained relatively stagnant over the past eight years, while gross revenues have increased by 75 percent.
Economy – The tribes' casino and retail operations provide economic and employment benefits to the surrounding communities in rural areas, where most casinos are located. They have created tens of thousands of jobs, 90 percent of which are held by non-Indians. The economic effect in urban areas is much different and potentially negative due to displacement of existing retail operations. Regarding the effect on Indian communities, national research suggests tribes that operate casinos compare favorably to non-gaming tribes as measured by per capita income, family and child poverty rates, unemployment and housing conditions.
Crime – Studies suggest that, four years to six years after casinos open, surrounding communities experience increases in rape, murder and other violent crimes, as well as property crimes such as burglary and auto theft. Some gaming tribes provide financial support to local law enforcement through grants or memorandums of understanding. Some of the state revenue-sharing money also has helped fund prosecution of casino-related crime.
Problem gambling – Extrapolating from national data and figures from other states, roughly 1.52 million California adults and minors are problem or pathological gamblers. That figure includes: 589,000 adult problem gamblers; 333,000 adult pathological gamblers; 436,800 youth problem gamblers; and 159,900 youth pathological gamblers. In California, the estimated annual societal cost of problem and pathological gamblers is just under $1 billion ($998.1 million). That figure includes costs associated with welfare benefits, arrest and incarceration, bankruptcy, and physical and mental health treatment. More than 75 percent of the calls seeking help from the California Council on Problem Gambling come from gamblers who prefer casinos. California's gaming tribes provide financial support for the state's Office of Problem Gambling, which provides public awareness programs, research, and training for health care providers and industry personnel. The state, however, spends no money on actual gambling treatment programs. Under recently-negotiated compacts, tribal casino operators' agreements with local jurisdictions will include provisions to combat gambling addiction.
Regulation – Resources for the two regulatory agencies responsible for overseeing tribal casinos and cardrooms appear mismatched to the industries they monitor. Combined, the Division of Gambling Control and California Gambling Control Commission (under the Governor's Office) have 182 employees to regulate two industries that in 2004 generated more than $6.4 billion in gross revenues.
The report can be viewed on the Bureau's web site at www.library.ca.gov/HTML/statseg2a.cfm.

Woman testifies Webster fired gun in her carBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 06. 2012 12:54PM
MANCHESTER - The woman who drove Myles Webster to the West Side the night Webster is accused of shooting Manchester Police officer Daniel Doherty testified Thursday morning that Webster fired a gun while in her vehicle that day.
Jennifer Whitfield told jurors in the attempted-murder trial of Webster, 23, in Hillsborough County Superior Court North that Webster, whom she knew as "Zo," fired a gun after an argument.
She said she was driving, another woman was in the front passenger seat and "Zo" was in the rear passenger-side seat, alongside another woman.
Whitfield said "Zo" was angry because he was protecting the women and said his life should be taken seriously, too.
After that, said Whitfield, she heard "a bang, a gunshot." She said she heard a second gunshot as they were passing under the Granite Street Bridge.
The quartet then proceeded to the Rite-Aid store at McGregor Square and bought a pack of cigarettes for one of the women, and when Whitfield pulled out of the lot and stopped at the traffic light, Webster exited the car and walked off toward Amory Street and Whitfield continued on her way to visit a friend on Dubuque Street. She said she didn't see Webster again that night.
During cross examination by defense attorney Robert Swales, Whitfield acknowledged she is a reluctant witness who has been held in jail to ensure her appearance in court.
Whitfield was arrested in Nashua on a charge of unauthorized use of a rental vehicle two days after the shooting and returned to Manchester for questioning.
Swales was questioning an obviously nervous and uncomfortable Whitfield when the lunch recess was called.
Earlier, police officer Warren Tanner testified about finding a gun next to the fence separating 141 and 145 Putnam St., where Webster was arrested.
Officer Steven Flynn testified about his discovery of a black jacket in a trash bin next to a shed in the yard where Webster was arrested the night of the shooting.

Revision as of 09:04, 18 February 2005
There are situations, where you want to:
- quickly create a handy program
- do some computation with numbers or objects
- process some objects with one or more applications in a batch
- use functionality of some framework without an application
- test your program
- ...
Those are situations where you can do scripting. Well, what the scripting is? It can be thought as manipulating objects in a handy way without need of long development process. The GNUstep environment offers more possibilities for scripting:
- StepTalk - official GNUstep, language independent, scripting framework
- GNUstep Guile - GNUstep extension to make use of the GUILE scripting language.
Following sections describes StepTalk scripting capabilites.
Ways of scripting
How would you like to do that? Interactively, in a batch, from an application, from automaticaly generated script or from a database? There are many ways how you can do the scripting.
Shell - a handy tool for interactive scripting with GNUstep objects. StepTalk offers a tool named stshell (StepTalk tools).
Stand-alone script execution - The tool stexec (StepTalk tools) allows you to execute scripts stored in files. Just use:
> stexec myscript.st
Applications can have built-in scripting capabilities. To access them, just find the Scripting menu item, which opens standard application scripting panel with all application related scripts. For more information, read the Application scripting.
Any tool can create a scripting interface for users, where users can do customisation of the tool's behaviour. If you are interested in adding scripting extension to your tool, follow: Scripting support.
It is language independent - it uses languages as separate bundles. It can be extended by the "language bundles" providing other scripting languages. One experimental language bundle for Guile is included in the sources package.

You can save a lot of your fuel needs on those less than sunny days by using a rocket stove. (see previous posts) But you can save even more fuel by using a thermal cooker (pictured at bottom) or a wonder box. (pictured at top and middle) These are heat retention cookers. After you bring your food to a boil, remove the pot from the heat source and place it inside your thermal cooker or wonder box. It will continue to cook for 6 to 8 hours without any additional fuel. You can purchase a thermal cooker but you can make your own wonder box. It's a styrofoam filled bag with a lid which is also filled with styrofoam. (Using different sized pellets makes for the best insulation.) The size of the bag will depend on what size pot you're going to use. Check online for the many different methods of making a wonder box.

The economic crisis in Spain, where the unemployment rate is a record 27 percent, is forcing people to leave the country to look for work.
The BBC's Tom Burridge reports the birthrate in Spain is also falling, because couples believe they can't afford to have children under the economic circumstances.
From NPR and WBUR Boston, I'm Robin Young. It's HERE AND NOW. We haven't heard a lot about it, but there is an economic crisis in Spain. The unemployment rate is a record 27 percent, and it's forcing people to leave the country to look for work. It's also apparently affecting the birthrate, which is falling because couples believe they can't afford to have a child. The BBC's Tom Burridge reports from Madrid.
MARIA PEREZ-PLAPA: (Foreign language spoken)
TOM BURRIDGE: Maria Perez-Plapa(ph)...
JORGE MARTIN: (Foreign language spoken)
BURRIDGE: ...and Jorge Martin(ph) have four cats.
MARTIN: They all have musicians' names. That's David Bowie. Then we have Amy, from Amy Winehouse.
BURRIDGE: And a dog called Bruno. And at 35 and 38, they would now like children, but their financial situation means they can't.
MARTIN: My situation, economically, is pretty bad. I haven't had a proper job for two years. So, basically, that's really holding us back, because we're in a very unstable situation.
BURRIDGE: On top of the fact that Jorge is unemployed, Maria Perez could be soon working fewer hours, or even lose her job.
PEREZ-PLAPA: (Through translator) There have been many job cuts, and in my sector, too, and it will be really risky to have a baby right now. With all the payments we have each month, we'd have to find somewhere bigger to live, et cetera.
MARTIN: We are in an age where it's the proper time to do it, and we definitely feel like having children. But the problem is that given our situation, we just can't even think about it, and we consider it would be irresponsible to have any children in this situation.
BURRIDGE: In the past four years, the number of babies born in Spain has fallen by 13 percent. Spanish mums are having fewer children.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: I'm a professional with university degree, so forth. You'd probably aim to have three. I think now, you'd probably think, well, hang on a minute. I'd better have two, just in case.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: My friends who got married like, 10 years ago, they were having children without thinking that much. Nowadays, they are thinking twice because it's not that easy for the woman.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #3: (Through translator) It's not that families don't want to have more children. It's that they can't. The economic crisis has meant, of course, that there are fewer jobs for the parents, less help from the government, less social security help for families. So the average number of children people are having is two, or even not at all.
BURRIDGE: In Spain, women have, on average, 1.3 children. Compare to that Holland, where the figure is 1.8. And in England and Wales, Ireland and France, the average number of children per woman is around two.
BURRIDGE: At the Ruber International Hospital in Madrid, a couple look at scans and hear the heartbeat...
BURRIDGE: ...of their unborn baby. Dr. Elena Melia says women in Spain are also having children later in life.
DR. ELENA MELIA: The mean age of having their first children is going up. I mean, in the year '92, it was 29 years in the Spanish woman. And now we are in 32.1. I think the main problem is the economic situation we have. We need to work the two of the couple, and that's why we're deciding to have the children a little bit later.
BURRIDGE: The Spanish government says the economy here will start growing and unemployment falling towards the end of this year. But the social consequences of Spain's crisis will be felt for much longer.
YOUNG: The BBC's Tom Burridge, in Madrid. So the economy is driving down birthrates and driving people from Spain to look for work, but around the world, war is creating the biggest refugee crisis in 20 years. We'll take that up next. HERE AND NOW. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Poets' Corner

Poets' Corner
I have posted a couple of my poems on different threads and GirlyMan seems to like them, so I thought there may be other poets on the forum who would like to post something. It is difficult to jump into a thread with poetry, so I thought I would create one just for that purpose.
Let me start it off with one of mine and then hope that others will join in.
The pale, pastel-pink globe,
embraced by jaunty rings,
on a vast, star-studded sky,
drifted, slowly,
across my viewfinder.
…Earth slowly rotated
under my feet,
summer-dawn breeze
gently ruffled my hair…
Saturn was there, immutable,
following its path of causes and effects,
and I thought of Galileo,
who laboured over a block of glass,
grinding it into a lens,
to behold the same planet…
…and, through a gap of four hundred years,
he and I
looked into each other's eyes.

RE: Poets' Corner
Wow that is awesome dude......sharing a moment with galileo......beautifull way of seeing it
Heres an oldish one of mine.
Infinity.......and the slice of it I cling to.
So precious, but I really dont appreciate how much yet.
My life.....this "I".....whose significance I pass through.
Time, space and imagination....limited to a mere moment.
What is it I experience...
I ask whilst experiencing it...
Why should I live...
I ask whilst living it...
What is the purpose...
I ask whilst fullfilling it...
.......where will it end??? In a universe infinitly old.....
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

RE: Poets' Corner
Brilliant Zatamon! All of this shit we are experiencing is completely ineffable and poetry, music, art are our best bets for sharing it. I have no talent for producing it, but I got a damn good ear and eye for appreciating it.

I like this one a lot too, although I think it could be improved if the last stanza was:

I like that couplet a lot bemore.
Since I don't write my own, I'll share some from others that I like here.
From some crazy ass bitch calling herself Emily Dickinson:
"Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –
Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity – "
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem. - Camus

It would be correct, GirlyMan, if my intention was different: bemore got it right: I just wanted to share a brief moment with Galileo, looking at the same planet, at the same time (with a small temporal gap in between) -- all I wanted was a connection, representing our human curiosity, fascination and awe that we had in common. I just wanted to lightly touch his soul, with one fingertip, through space and time. I also wanted to bring him to life for a brief moment of exchanged glances.
PS. I like Emily a lot, and the poem you quoted is awesome!
RE: Poets' Corner
Im not usualy into poetry, but the Saturn one was good.
Behold the power of the force!
RE: Poets' Corner
Zatamon has got my thirst for poetry flowing again
My day is divided between asleep and awake.
Apparently one is real....and the other one is "fake" (ha ha)
Yet when I dream I can be aware I can wake.
These places I go...the things I do....these people I see.
In my dreams.....there all tiny parts.....that are reflecting my "awake" reality.
I am aware of them.....are they aware of me.......when there shouldnt be we.....because everything in them is me.
So if I live in a world that I think is a mess......are my dreams part of me trying to sort out some sense.
If dreams are reflections of what I see as my reality........then what is shaping reality (if not "me")
Given that thought, im now left with an incomplete view.......I think ill use faith to fill the gaps if I need to.
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

May I ask how old you were when you wrote this?
The playfulness suggests young, the content suggests maturity.

My internet has been down most of the day.....so I wrote it inbetween jobs that I have been catching up with.
I wrote it today......im 30 years young.
I also wrote this one today as well........although it feels incomplete somehow.
Unimaginable pain and fear.....that I have tasted.
I know it exists yet how do I erase it???
I can try the best for me.........but what of them???
Whats good for me....isnt necesarily whats needed by all men.
Even if I could bear this shoulder of responsibility.
Nobody gave this task......I take it upon willingly.
Yet I ask who am I to set the rules of life and law.
I am not owner of the animals, lands or shore.
I am nobody except my own keeper....only I can take myself into the future.
But I am still only part of the "whole".....to find a place to fit in is my lifelong goal.
I dont give my work names all of the time, I think a fun part is that the reader give it there own title. Seeing as they (the beholders ) are interpreting it in there own unique ways when reading it.

I am impressed!
OK, since nobody else has joined us yet (I hope soon!), here is another 'darkly playful' thought I had a few years ago:
In the dentist's chair
I whimper politely
to let him know he is torturing me.
He ignores it
and keeps digging in deeper,
as if trying to see
how much I can stand.
It would be unfair
to bite his hand,
or scream at him as I'd like to;
having to cause me pain
probably hurts him more
than it hurts me.
Through this fog of horrible ache
I can't help wondering
if this is the fate of the writer:
having to beg people
not to harm him
don't trash the world
we're all living in)
What if, once, I surprised my dentist
and instead of the pitiful cries,
suddenly I roared like a wounded tiger
and bit his hateful hand really hard?
If I were a brave man
I know what I should do,
to make people listen:
I should climb up on a rooftop
and start shooting at them.
Afterward, I would be on TV,
interviewed by a noted reporter,
who would ask me how I felt
when I pulled the trigger.
I would then tell him: I did it
to wake up the world,
to beauty, truth, danger
and I was careful not to hurt anyone
and I do love my fellow men.
But he would dig deeper until it hurt
just like my friendly dentist
and, instead of a pathetic whimper,
since I had nothing to risk, I would
grab his hand holding the mike
and after a satisfying bite
shove it down his throat
to silence my pitiful voice
that all can hear…
…but to which
no one would listen.
PS. I just noticed the second poem you posted.
I like the thoughts but I think it needs a little editing -- just as you felt yourself.

Blogger is an awesome free tool to quickly start blogging. However, many Blogger users eventually realize that if they want full control of their blog, then they would be better off with their own self hosted WordPress.org blog (what's the difference between self-hosted WordPress.org vs WordPress.com blogs). In this step by step tutorial, we will help you switch from Blogger to WordPress without losing Google rankings.
Here are the steps you will be taking to switch from Blogger to WordPress without losing Google rankings.
- Sign up with WordPress hosting company.
- Export your Blogger blog by visiting Settings » Other page.
- Import Blogger to WordPress by visiting Tools » Import page in WordPress admin area.
- Setting up permalinks on your new WordPress blog.
- Setting up redirects for Blogger visitors to WordPress posts
- Set up redirects for RSS feeds
- Import your images from Blogger to WordPress media library.
Video Tutorial
If you don't like the video or need more instructions, then continue reading.
Step 0. Before You Start
To get started with WordPress, the first thing you would need is a good WordPress hosting company and your own domain name. We highly recommend Bluehost because they will give you a free domain and 50% off their hosting plan (special for WPBeginner users). Bluehost is also an officially recommended hosting provider of WordPress.
If you want a Bluehost alternative, then take a look at Siteground who also offer the same special offer to WPBeginner users.
Once you have signed up for WordPress hosting and set up your domain name, the next step is to install WordPress on your hosting account. We have a step by step tutorial on how to install WordPress. Once you have installed WordPress, it is time to move your content from Blogger to WordPress.
Step 1. Export Your Blogger Blog
First thing you need to do is export your blogger blog's content. Simply log into your blogger dashboard and go to Settings » Other page. Under the 'Import & back up' section, you need to 'Back up Content' button.
This will bring up a popup where you need to click on the 'Save to your computer' button.
Your Blogger blog's content will be downloaded to your computer in an XML file.
Once the download is complete, it is time to import it into your WordPress site.
Step 2. Import Blogger to WordPress
To start importing your Blogger site into WordPress, you need to go to your WordPress admin and visit Tools » Import. On the Import page, click on Blogger.
This will bring up a popup asking you to install the Blogger to WordPress importer. You need to click on the Insall button.
WordPress will now download and install the Blogger Importer plugin for you. Once it is finished installing, you would need to click on the Activate Plugin and Run Importer link to continue.
On the Import Blogger screen, WordPress will ask you to upload the XML file. This is the file that you downloaded in Step 1.
Simply click on the choose file button and upload the XML file you downloaded earlier. Next, click on the Upload file and import button to continue.
Now if you didn't select one of our recommended hosts or your site is really large, you may get an error that your file size is too large. In this case, you would need to increase your maximum file upload limit. If your file is small, then you won't see any errors.
WordPress will now import your blogger posts one by one. When it is finished, you will be asked to assign an author to the imported posts. You can assign your blogger posts to an existing author (you) or create a new author account.
Congratulations! you have successfully imported your Blogger content into WordPress. However, you still need to make sure that you don't loose any search rankings and that visitors from your old blog easily land to the same content on your new WordPress website.
Step 3. Setting up Permalinks
Permalinks is the term used for URL structure of individual pages. WordPress comes with a feature that allows you to set up SEO friendly URL structure. However, since you are importing content from Blogger, you would want your URL structure to be as close to your Blogger URL structure as possible.
To set permalinks, you need to go to Settings » Permalinks screen and choose Month and Name as your permalink structure.
Step 4. Setting up Redirection
The most important step in moving any website is to set up proper redirection so that users are redirected to your new website.
The important part of redirection is that you want users to land on exactly the same page on the new site which they were trying to access on the old site. Secondly, this also notifies search engines that your old site is moved to a new location.
To successfully move from Blogger to WordPress, you need to set up redirection on two levels.
First, you will redirect Blogger visitors to your new WordPress blog. Second, once users reach your WordPress site, you will redirect them to the exact post they were trying to read.
Let's first set up redirection on the blogger blog. You need to log on to your Blogger account and go to your Blog's settings and click on Template.
On the template page, you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Revert to Classic Template link.
After switching to classic template, you will see 'Edit Template HTML' textarea. You need to replace everything in this text area with the following code. Make sure that you replace
http://www.example.com with your own domain name.
  <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>  <MainPage> <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/" /> </MainPage> <Blogger> <ItemPage> <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/?blogger=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" /> </ItemPage> </Blogger>   <MainOrArchivePage>
<$BlogTitle$>
 </MainOrArchivePage> <Blogger> <ItemPage>
<a href="http://example.com/?blogger=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogItemTitle$>
 <$BlogItemBody$> </ItemPage> </Blogger>
Save your template, and you have successfully implemented redirection on your Blogger blog.
However, you still need to setup redirection on your WordPress site so that users are redirected to the proper posts.
You need to copy and paste the following code in your WordPress theme's functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin.
If this is your first time adding code to your WordPress site, then you may want to check our beginner's guide to pasting snippets from the web into WordPress.
function blogger_query_vars_filter( $vars ) { $vars[] = "blogger"; return $vars; } add_filter('query_vars', 'blogger_query_vars_filter'); function blogger_template_redirect() { global $wp_query; $blogger = $wp_query->query_vars['blogger']; if ( isset ( $blogger ) ) { wp_redirect( get_wordpress_url ( $blogger ) , 301 ); exit; } } add_action( 'template_redirect', 'blogger_template_redirect' ); function get_wordpress_url($blogger) { if ( preg_match('@^(?:https?://)?([^/]+)(.*)@i', $blogger, $url_parts) ) { $query = new WP_Query ( array ( "meta_key" => "blogger_permalink", "meta_value" => $url_parts[2] ) ); if ($query->have_posts()) { $query->the_post(); $url = get_permalink(); } wp_reset_postdata(); } return $url ? $url : home_url(); }
The code above creates a blogger to WordPress 301 redirect which is what you need to ensure best SEO.
Once you have pasted this code, that's all you need to do for setting up redirection.
Now anyone visiting a post on your old Blogger blog will be redirected to the same post on your new WordPress site.
Step 5. Redirect Feeds
Your RSS subscribers on the old Blogger site will not be able to notice the switch. That's why you will need to redirect your Blogger feed to your new WordPress site's feed.
You can do this by logging in to your Blogger account and then visit Settings » Other page under your blog dashboard.
Under the Site Feed section, click on Add link next to Post Feed Redirect URL. Here you can enter your new WordPress site's feed address.
Usually it is http://your-awesome-site.com/feed/ (don't forget to replace your-awesome-site with your own domain name).
Step 6. Import Images From Blogger to WordPress Media Library
When you are transferring blogger to WordPress, the WordPress importer will download images from your blogger posts into the WordPress media library. However, it can fail to download some images. This doesn't happen often, but it can happen.
But there's nothing to worry about because you can find and import these images into WordPress. Follow the instructions in our how to import external images in WordPress tutorial.
This will import all images from your blogger into your WordPress Media Library. Once the images are in your WordPress media library, you can easily create image galleries and more.
We hope this tutorial helped you switch from Blogger to WordPress without losing Google rankings. We would like to welcome you to the WordPress community. To get started with WordPress, please take a look at our beginner's guide section and our WordPress beginner videos.
If you have a friend still using Blogger, then you can show them our comparison on WordPress vs Blogger and convince them to switch over.
