Hello Support Team.
I want a Blog page with Sidebar (http://mnsnext.com/next-blog/). The sidebar is to be appeared in the Blog's home page only (not anywhere else in the website). The blog page includes dynamic posts from the categories named "Featured", "Events" and "Entrepreneur Resources".
Currently I have been able to display the post from these categories but the there is limitations i.e. a single post should be marked with two categories minimum and should be within in a date from a month. I don't know why it is so. I have done this by exploring the X theme forum. I want latest three posts from each category to be displayed.
Can you please help me to do so.
Thank You.January 9, 2017 at 6:41 am #1322237
Hi there,
Seems like you're using third party plugin to display posts on home page. Regretfully, we cannot provide support for third party plugins or scripts as our support policy in the sidebar states due to the fact that there is simply no way to account for all of the potential variables at play when using another developer's plugin or script. Because of this, any questions you have regarding setup, integration, or troubleshooting any piece of functionality that is not native to X will need to be directed to the original developer.
Thank you for your understanding.January 9, 2017 at 9:51 pm #1323372
Thanks for your kind response.
I have not used any third party plugin but yes there are custom script. Now, I have removed all the custom script.
My requirement is that I want a Blog page with Sidebar (http://mnsnext.com/next-blog/). The sidebar is to be appeared in the Blog's page only (not anywhere else in the website). This page is post page. I have posts in another pages and has filtered with categories to display in that pages. The blog page includes dynamic posts only from the categories named "Featured", "Events" and "Entrepreneur Resources".
I want each categories to be displayed in a row as displayed now. As there is three category so there should be three row. Currently it is displaying only one category post. I want latest three posts from each category to be displayed.
Some thing like attached but along with right sidebar also.
Can you please help me to do so.
Thank You.

Some Personal Details:
- I am married with 5 children, 1 boy, and 4 girls.
- Our family likes to travel, camp, ride motorcycles and 4 wheelers, and go to Lake Powell.
- I also love to surf (grew up in SoCal), and now can go with my son on the surf trips to CA and Mexico. But, wherever I go, I stay connected by phone, text, and email to all clients.
About Me
I started my Real Estate career in 2005 (getting licensed in both Utah and California at the same time). I was then building custom homes and remodeling homes in Utah and CA. I went full time as a Realtor in 2007, and started my website "HalfpriceAgent.com", and heavily advertised my message of saving money for my buyers and sellers. I have had great success since then, increasing my sales volume constantly because my past clients have referred me to their family and friends like crazy.
Over the years, while offering 1/2 price on my listing fees for sellers, I ran into many sellers that just did not have enough money to sell their house and pay the realtor fees. They were just too tight with their loan payoffs. So, years ago I started telling these clients that if they purchased a house with me after they sold, I would LIST YOUR HOME FOR FREE, and then, when they bought their next home, I would not give the typical 1% buyer rebate gift that I normally give to buyers. This system worked so well, and made it possible for many clients to be able to sell, that I started telling many clients about it. It has naturally come to the forefront of my business. I have done this LIST YOUR HOME FOR FREE deal now for dozens and dozens of clients. Typically, these clients save about $8000 on average in Realtor fees!
I also have a broad knowledge of construction. This has helped many of my home buyers when searching for a home to purchase. When I am with home buyers, looking at homes, as we walk through the homes, I am searching for problems: roof leaks, foundation problems, flashing and stucco problems, evidence of water in the basement, etc. I have aided countless buyers and helped them to discover hidden defects. Keep in mind, I am not a "licensed" inspector, but my experience really does help a lot.

'Somebody Intervened in Washington'
From his seat in the small plane flying over the largest remaining swath of American wilderness, Bruce Babbitt thought he could envision the legacy of one of his proudest achievements as Interior Secretary in the Clinton administration.
Babbitt was returning in the summer of 2013 from four sunlit nights in Alaska's western Arctic, where at one point his camp was nearly overrun by a herd of caribou that split around the tents at the last minute. Now, below him, Babbitt saw an oil field — one carefully built and operated to avoid permanent roads and other scars on the vast expanse of tundra and lakes.
Under the deal he'd negotiated just before leaving Interior in 2000, that would be the only kind of drilling he thought would be allowed in the 23 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, which, despite its name, is a pristine region home to one of the world's largest caribou herds and giant flocks of migratory birds. The compromise was fair and, he hoped, enduring — clear-eyed about the need for more domestic oil but resolute in defense of the wilderness.
The deal lasted barely 15 years.
In February, the Obama administration granted the ConocoPhillips oil company the right to drill in the reserve. The Greater Mooses Tooth project, as it is known, upended the protections that Babbitt had engineered, saving the oil company tens of millions and setting what conservationists see as a foreboding precedent.
How ConocoPhillips overcame years of resistance from courts, native Alaskans, environmental groups and several federal agencies is the story of how Washington really works. It is a story that surprised even a veteran of the political machine like Babbitt.

Today I learned that Aunt Mary passed away. In actuality she is my father's aunt but in Italian-American families the ties run deep and your aunts, great aunts and first, second and third cousins are simply all part of the clan.
My grandmother's half-sister, Mary, was the oldest child and lost her father at a very young age, never having the privilege of knowing him. In Italian tradition, the best man is sent to marry the widow. This man became my grandmother's father and raised Mary as his own.
My grandmother and her siblings are some of the last of a colorful and strong generation of Italian Americans who built their way up in life, survived WWII, the Great Depression and experienced living in New York when the bakery was owned by your neighbor and the neighborhoods were organized by country of origin. Mary worked with her mother in a cake factory, a path not often traveled by women during those years and she used the money she earned to live the way she wanted, rarely playing by anyone else's rules but her own. In fact, in those days this was considered scandalous, a fiery red-head who smoked, drank and danced and didn't have children. Mary used her money to help her mother with expenses and bought the nicest clothes she could. My grandmother told me that her sister had so many clothes that when Mary was out of the house she would secretly try them on.
For as long as I remember Aunt Mary wore her hair up and kept it a fiery shade of red. Red hair, red lipstick and not one strand of hair out of place, this is how I will always remember her. She and Uncle Harold were married for over forty years and made sure that every penny they had was spent. For many of us in the family this was scandalous in itself since most of us squirrel away our savings so that when we are old and gray we can enjoy our lives. Not so for Aunt Mary and Uncle Harold, they enjoyed their money in their youth. In her 90's she made lots of friends at her assisted living home. Aunt Mary lived the way she wanted, up to her very last day.
There will be no grandiose funeral for Aunt Mary, she leaves no children behind and her husband Harold recently passed away last year. This made me sad but Aunt Mary would have scoffed at that. As James Dean said: "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."
I have fond memories of Aunt Mary and wanted to honor her memory in a way that would make her smile. Goodbye Aunt Mary, say hello to those we've lost, say hello to your father, and save some red hair dye for me!

The month of May is National Lupus Awareness Month and I'll be placing a calendar with important dates on it. Below is a tape of the devastation the lupus can cause; but there's also HOPE. If we dwell on the devastation, we can do nothing. If we dwell on the hope, the research that is being done daily, we can accomplish.
If others are taught what lupus is, if they are taught WHY we have days of not being able to get out of bed, if others are taught WHY there's a need for dialysis or WHY your skin has psoriasis or any of the side effects of lupus there'll be an educated public who'll press legislators to put more research dollars in the treatment of lupus.Hits : 580

Item Description...
A congregation that had been growing in numbers and spiritual vitality reaches a plateau, and then begins to decline. What has happened? Whitesel explains where churches go wrong planning for growth and how they can correct themselves by looking at three related phenomena: the factors that cause initial growth; the erroneous decisions that lead to getting stuck on the plateau; and corrective steps they can take to regain growth and vitality.
Publishers Description
It is a familiar experience. A congregation that had been growing in numbers and spiritual vitality reaches a plateau and then begins to decline. Most of the time, the plateau occurs long before the church arrives at the optimum number of members it hoped to attract. What has happened here? Why does growth slow down, stop, and then decline? The real question to ask, says Bob Whitesel, is why the church grew in the first place.
Most of the time young, growing churches make a series of decisions based not upon careful planning and analysis, but rather upon necessity and intuition. Thus these decisions are not planned strategies, but strategies that often occur by accident, owing their genesis to circumstance. These unplanned strategic decisions are driven not by knowledge, but often simply by the church's environment. When that growth slows, these same churches begin to engage in more careful planning. The problem is that this planning so often ignores the considerations and decisions that led to the church's growth to begin with. The result is stagnation and eventual decline.
In the plain, direct style that is his hallmark, Whitesel lays out where churches go wrong in their planning for growth and how they can correct themselves. He does so by looking at three related phenomena: first, the factors that cause initial growth; second, the erroneous decisions that lead to getting stuck on the plateau; and finally, corrective steps that churches can take to regain growth and vitality.

By Glynn Wilson –
The fight against big oil embodied in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline is far from over, according to the latest statement issued by Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II.
As if to vindicate the tribe's objections to the Dakota Access Pipeline running right through a fresh drinking water reservoir on the Missouri River north of Cannon Ball, North Dakota, another oil pipeline in the state 150 miles west of Standing Rock broke open last week and leaked more than 176,000 gallons of crude into a tributary of the Little Missouri River.
To make matters even worse, state and company officials confirmed Monday that the electronic-monitoring equipment that was supposed to detect a leak totally failed.
One of the promises made to the Standing Rock Sioux in the fight over the Dakota Access Pipeline was that the pipeline would be safe and monitoring equipment would quickly detect any leaks and automatically shut down oil flow through the pipe, preventing any major environmental damage.
But in the case of the Belle Fourche Pipeline near Belfield, North Dakota, built in the 1980s to move 1,000 barrels of oil a day, True Companies and its monitoring equipment did not detect the leak. A private landowner discovered the spill after it had already dumped more than 46,000 gallons onto a hillside by the river and 130,000 gallons into the river itself, contaminating at least six miles of the river downstream.
Private company crews were dispatched to turn off the flow in the pipeline and begin cleaning up the spill. But a major winter blizzard and freeze in the area over the past couple of weeks resulted in the river freezing over, so company and state officials now say it may take until the spring until all the crude can be cleaned up.
According to a number of reports on the spill, including this one from the Associated Press published in the Bismarck Tribune, True Companies has a history of oil spills in the region. Three have been reported since 2006. One resulted in the leak of 30,000 gallons into the Yellowstone River.
News out of Standing Rock has slowed down since Sunday, Dec. 4, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deescalated the conflict between protesters and Morton County Sheriff's deputies by announcing it would deny a request for an easement for that pipeline and consider re-routing it, making a showdown unnecessary on Monday, Dec. 5, between thousands of veterans who had showed up to help and local police. A major blizzard with 40 mph winds that dumped more than a foot of snow in North Dakota and drove temperatures below zero also drove many of the protesters out of the water protector encampments and into hotels and other local shelters.
Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II issued a statement urging people to evacuate the camps and seek shelter from the severe weather, a temporary retreat in the battle, but he indicated the war against big oil is not over.
"I ask all water protectors to make plans to return safely home when the weather permits, avoid conflict, and pivot your advocacy to holding the government accountable with respect to the EIS and our court battles," Archambault said. "This is far from over."
Following last week's decision by the Department of the Army to not grant the easement under Lake Oahe, he said, the tribal leaders are all focused on important actions to be undertaken in the coming weeks.
The Corps announcement denying the easement and calling for a full Environmental Impact Statement also cited the need for further examination of key issues related to treaty rights, which could include taking a hard look at tribe claims under the 1851 Treaty of Ft. Laramie, which ceded the Sioux territory all the way north to the Heart River.
The Corps also suggested looking at rerouting the Dakota Access Pipeline away from the proposed crossing under Lake Oahe, a fresh drinking water reservoir on the Missouri River created by the Corps, although company officials have been adamant that it would be too expensive for it to consider.
"We look forward to this process getting underway," Archambault said.
Last Friday Archambault said he was involved in a status conference in federal district court to handle scheduling and procedural matters, the day after the company filed a motion for summary judgment arguing that it already has all necessary permissions to cross under the lake.
"This argument is legally flawed and we believe that the motion will be denied upon appropriate review," Archambault said. "Judge Boasberg made it clear that the issue raised by Dakota Access will not be decided at least for many weeks. In the meantime, Dakota Access does not have permission to drill under Lake Oahe."
In addition, he said, there was a meeting with federal officials regarding the initiation of the EIS. When the process is initiated, it will be published in the Federal Register as a Notice of Intent to Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
"We will then enter a period of determining both the scope of the EIS and who the cooperating agencies will be," he said. "Federal, tribal, and state parties with an interest in the project. It is extremely important that the EIS process begin immediately and I ask that all of our supporters are attentive to the proceedings. We must have confidence but ensure that this time around, the process works for us instead of against us."
Archambault said he will continue to welcome a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and his Interior nominee, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
"Nevertheless, it is imperative that we push through as much as we can under the current administration," he said. "We cannot afford to lose momentum and continue to be on edge due to the Dakota Access presence at the drill pad."
He also urged supporters to contact the banks investing in this "risky and unsafe project" to make them aware of the terrible acts this company has committed and reconsider their financing.

Good for natural science The major flaw is that the quantitative reasoning questions make no sense because you can't see the main passage or graph or figure that they are associated with. Ex: "how many babies did Dr Jones deliver in 1999" I honestly thought this was a trick question, but the explanation at the end alluded to some sort of figure involving rattles. Otherwise helpful for bio and chem!

Agree that the quantitative section has missing diagrams otherwise how would we know how many rattles we need for the number of babbies born in 1999. The other sections are good.

Last weekend was the grand start of another new line, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Call em Bionicle, Bayformers, Ugly, or just plane Awesome, they're here for the next couple of years. With the demise of Animated confirmed at Botcon, and Universe\Classics 3.0 a long way off, how many of you will drown your sorrows in the sultry seductions of Bay's bug-eyed bots?
I know I will.
The first time around, I only got a concept Bumblebee, Ironhide, Bonecrusher, and Salvage. Ironhide is a bit regrettable, Bonecrusher is small but lovely, concept Bumblebee remains awesome, and Salvage is to mark a memory.
See, I used to drive an old F-150. Now, I know Salvage is a repaint of Dropkick (a more annoying urban style deco), but without the bed cover (giant pliers, wtf?) and if you need glasses and you squint a little, it reminds me of my old red and rusted truck.
I had passed on most of the line because it didn't appeal to me. Prime was ugly, chunky, and had way too much kibble, and Starscream had more undercarriage bulk than any jetformer I'd seen in years. (Bear in mind I'm also the guy who likes Animated Blitzwing….) There were a few I liked almost enough to get, but passed for one reason or another (Barricade, Leader Brawl, Landmine, etc), but for the most part I'm glad I held off.
That was not the case last weekend.
After being tempted by early reviews for months, and lusting after K-Mart's Deep Desert Leader Brawl, I was ready more and more as the weeks drew in to the the 30th. Then there were reports of stores breaking the street date, even Walmarts doing it, and then, almost two weeks before release date my local Walmart had emptied shelves and pegs and placed upcs announcing rotf toys! Bigger than the animated and universe\classics section combined, but empty!
Surely they'd be putting them up soon… Surely Walmart wouldn't have empty shelves for nigh on two weeks… Surely some stocker would set them out…
Maybe I shouldn't have called him Shirley…
When the announcement came that all Walmarts were to release stock early at midnight, I showed up but they didn't have stock on the pegs still. The night before, you'd think they'd at least put out the friggin stock. Nope. I even politely asked a couple of stockers when they were going to get them in.
One of those stockers turned out to be the assistant manager, and they were in the middle of putting out girls toys, so I figured it would be kind of a good time to ask.
Apparently they didn't realize that it's not a nice thing to be fucking rude to someone who is much bigger than them, because they were assholes and I punched them in the face.
Apparently they thought it was uncouth of me to politely ask when they were getting ROTF toys in, as they glared at me like I was a hotwheels scalper. The stocker spat, "They'll be out tomorrow evening, when they are supposed to be out." Meanwhile the assistant manager somehow scowled her already hagged up face to furl a hary brow above two bitter eyes. Already akin to pinpricks as they drowned in the folds of her angry scrunched up sag, her eyes bore utter disgust at me as I politely said, "Well, thanks. I appreciate the help."
Man, I really wanted to punch them in the face.
I was too polite to punch them in the face.
Rude people fucking piss me off. I try to be as nice and polite to people as I can, and I usually have a pretty long fuse on my temper, but I guess it's just one of my buttons.
A few hours sleep later and it was time for work, but I had just enough time to swing by and see the trash bag of ROTF goodness had settled into the toy isle, adorning itself with an 'on sale at 5pm tonight' sign. At least it wasn't empty, but all day at work was spent wondering how to handle the crowd that big black barrier would attract. I'm a big guy (close to 17-inch biceps, long-ish hair, hand tattoos, and about 6'1″), so surely that would scare off some scalpers. Surely moms wouldn't let their kids hang around for 30 minutes before it went on sale, especially next to the man with the jagged smile. Surely…
I had to stop calling them Shirley.
So it rolled around to 4:00pm and there we were, standing by the toys with a good position next to the voyagers, leaders, and deluxes, on the opposite end of where the legends, fabs, and gravity bots were pegged.
And we were the only ones there.
Just me and my Melody.
And that, dear readers, is the point of this whole post.
Sure, based on the title you might think I was just gonna talk about getting Leader Prime, Breakaway, Sideswipe, Rampage, and Starscream, but that's not it at all.
The real haul, the real treasure, was the awesome woman who waited with me in the isle, awkwardly making conversation amongst ourselves as lookieloos wandered by. No scalpers, no other fans, and definitely no crowd.
For the whole hour, mind you.
Sure, there was the occasional mom with kids, who had hers look a bit through the plastic until she read the sign, then pacified them with bakugan (I did not know that was so popular), and Melody discovered a thick layer of dust on the tops of the crappy Batman: The Dark Knight toys, but for the most part it was just us standing there.
She's a bit shy anyway, and to be standing there next to a 'look at this!' marketing strategy, for an hour, just so I could have some toys staked out in fear of scalpers, well that's not just awesome, that's… That's just another example of how wonderful she is, and I want her to know I appreciate her.
So, sneaky post title, and rambling lead up to it, but still. :)
In case anyone cares, I found preview Bumblebee and a better painted Sideswipe at another Walmart that night, found Skids and Wheelie at K-mart, and later found Soundwave at my local Walmart.

CSUS, 2007 – Adults Who Reunited With Adolescent Sweethearts: A Survey
This article, by Nancy Kalish, Ph.D., was presented at California State University Sacramento, 2007, where Dr. Kalish holds the rank of Professor of Psychology. It was written for a symposium at the university.
Each year, the symposium highlights the work of a different department within the College of Social Sciences & Interdisciplinary Studies. In 2007, the Department of Psychology was featured. Four psychologists, including Dr. Kalish, showcased research on attachment; three of the presentations were overviews of research in the field; Dr. Kalish was the only presenter who discussed her own research.
The attendees were students, staff, and professors from all departments throughout the university, so this presentation was written for a general, educated audience, not for research psychologists.
This article is a good overview of Kalish's research on lost loves. Some of it may be familiar to you from her other writing, but some of this research is not yet available elsewhere. It includes discussion of her 1993-1996 survey participants from Lost & Found Lovers (William Morrow, 1997), along with newer findings from her 2004-2005 lost love survey of rekindlers. Also included, for comparison, are results from Kalish's 2005 First Love Survey – a research control group of survey participants who have never tried reunions with lost loves. A brief section of the paper considers some pitfalls of psychotherapy with lost love clients (this is a short summary of Kalish's WPA paper, offered below).

Lost Lovers in Therapy
This was an Invited Presentation at the 2003 Western Psychological Association Annual Convention. An "invited presentation" is not a submitted paper; it is an invitation to the researcher, from psychologists on the convention committee, to be featured at the conference. This honor is extended to very few psychology researchers, and indicates the high esteem accorded to Dr. Nancy Kalish by her fellow psychologists.
Lost Lovers in Therapy is based on Dr. Kalish's many years of research on rekindled romances. It was written for an audience of Clinical Psychologists in particular and is a discussion of how rekindled romances are different from ordinary romances. Dr. Kalish elaborates on mistakes commonly made by psychotherapists when dealing with their lost love clients and, in particular, clients in extramarital relationships.

"Noisy and unpleasant"
I rented here for six months before I had had enough. The noise from Milton Rd was appalling, although you eventually get used to it (kind of like a hideous, polluting ocean outside your window). Traffic is often bad, even on the residential side streets, thanks to rat-runners and parking-seekers. There are no grocery stores nearby, only a meagre sprinkling of average restaurants. Even the video store has closed down now. Probably this street's only drawcard is its very close proximity to Auchenflower train station.

This week in the Flog:
- The Long-Awaited How-To Guide for Air Filtration
- Use This Simple Technique to Filter Your Air and Kill Smells
A little while back, I wrote an article demonstrating how to make your own fish fertilizer at home. This is a really fun (and kinda gruesome) recipe, one of our more popular ones because it is so easy and such an effective fertilizer.
As I mentioned in that article, you can make your own biofilter very easily at home. This is a great way to keep down the smells associated with some of these recipes. I know many readers live in the city, and want to do things like the fish fertilizer, that make some unpleasant smells during fermentation. Well, read on!
To make your own biofilter, you basically need biochar and a length of pvc pipe (if you don't have biochar you can use plain old charcoal). The biochar is your charcoal, and the pvc pipe holds it and funnels the air through it, dropping the smells along the way. If you're wondering what biochar is, we have an article all about it and how to make your own biochar.
Now if you want to enhance your biofilter, inoculate your biochar with microbes, ideally some lactobacillus. You can mix a little sugar+water together, inoculate with lacto, and moisten the biochar with that combo. This is an awesome way to supercharge your biofilter.
The setup involves a length of pvc pipe with two caps. Stinky air from your stink source will travel through a tube, through a little hole in one of the pvc caps, through the pvc pipe full of charcoal, and out a little hole in the other pvc cap at the far end of the pipe. Here's the whole setup, as pictured in my little fish fermenter:
Here is the length of pvc pipe next to my bag of carbonized rice hulls. Carbonized rice hulls (CRH) are the hard outer shells of the rice seed, piled up and charred so that they become biochar. You can find details of the process on our page about biochar.
Meanwhile for the caps, each one gets a little hole that's just big enough for the tubing to fit in. You can seal this with silicone if you are really worried about air escaping, but if you make it a good tight fit you don't really need to worry about it.
Now the pipe gets packed with your air filter substrate. The CRH, and indeed all biochar, makes an excellent stuffing material, because it's so porous. No matter how hard you pack it in there, air can pass through no problem.
You want to moisten the substrate before you pack it in, but not make it wet. If it's too wet, air won't be able to pass through and you'll have a clogged filter. Ideally you would moisten it just enough to support a healthy population of microbes. This is where lacto comes in. You can moisten the biochar with some lacto and sugar+water. They will be happy in there and the sealed caps at either end mean it will stay nice and moist inside.
Here's the pipe packed full of biochar:
Next the caps go on either end. You can see (if you look closely in the first picture or the picture below) I even have a short bit of tube sticking out the bottom side, you don't really need this, you just need a little hole in your bottom cap to let the air exit the end of the filter. You technically don't even need a cap on this end, but I like to use it to help keep the inside moist so the microbes don't dry out.
Now you can see the filter in action! Even though I packed the pvc with biochar, air passes through nicely as you can see from this one bubbling away as fermentation takes place in the fish fermenter.
There you go, pretty simple way to kill the smell when you're making fish fertilizer! For us living in the city, this is a great little trick to keeping our families, and neighbors, happy!

Corrinne lives in New York City with her family. Their lifestyle is similar to that of many others, where conversations are few and outside interests seem constantly to be pulling everyone in different directions.
Corrinne's father has a great job, which allows her to attend the most elite parties and clubs, spend outrageous amounts of money on clothes and attend only the best schools. She and best friend Waverly will be attending Kent, an exclusive boarding school, in the fall. That is, until her father loses his job, and much of their savings, in a "Madoff-type situation." Her parents decide they must make some drastic changes to save their family financially. The biggest change has Corrinne, her brother Tripp and their mom moving to Broken Spoke, Texas, the small town where their mother grew up, while their father accepts a job in Dubai.
The three of them move in with their mother's parents, and Corrinne and Tripp are immediately enrolled in public school. They are faced with lots of challenges and changes, although Corrinne is the one who struggles the most. Should she take the job shoveling horse manure? Should she become friends with people she would have never considered before? Then there are potential boyfriends, accepting her new life, accepting herself, letting go of her arrogance, giving family and friends second chances, maturing, taking on responsibilities and discovering some things about herself. It's a riches-to-rags story where her previous life quickly becomes defined as B.R. — before the recession — and her tough current reality is living in Broken Spoke.
I loved this book. Rarely do I find books that I can't put down, but this was one of them and I definitely recommend it. The main character lives a much different lifestyle in the beginning than most of us do, but that soon changes. And with that change comes so many great lessons. She learns to work hard, be less judgmental, to think before she speaks and to forgive others. She learns what true friendship is. She takes on new responsibilities and works through family issues. The lessons observed here are great. I loved not only watching her change, but I also loved the person she becomes. I also appreciated the emphasis on family and how they all came together and made the best of their situation. The importance of family really shines through in this book.
Rated: Moderate for approximately 10 uses of mild language and five uses of moderate language. There is no sex, but there is a lot of teen drinking. The drinking, though, is never glamorized and there are no drinking scenes in which inappropriate things occur. The alcohol comes in second behind the conversations and happenings between the characters.

New Liposuction Procedure in Boston Available at Longwood Plastic Surgery
Dr. Michael Tantillo now offers a unique body contouring procedure called Body-Jet®, which is gentler and uses less force than traditional liposuction in Boston.
"The benefits of Body-Jet liposuction for Boston area residents are two-fold: first, it helps remove unwanted fat gently and thoroughly with less force than standard tumescent liposuction,"
Body-Jet is similar to liposuction in that it uses a sterile saline solution to gently dislodge fat cells so that they can be removed easily. However, Body-Jet delivers this solution using a special pulsating action, which eliminates the need for forced manual movement. This method results in less bruising, bleeding, and trauma to the surrounding tissues. The Body-Jet system is also more efficient than standard liposuction because it is able to simultaneously spray fat cells with fluid while also suctioning them out. By shortening the procedure time, the patient's recovery time is accelerated iqfop as well.
"Our patients can expect minimal downtime and discomfort after their Body-Jet procedure," Dr. Tantillo states. "The need for pain medication is typically reduced because of Body-Jet's gentle suctioning device, and the treatment can usually be performed under local anesthesia – thereby eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia."
Body-Jet is best-suited for men and women who want to eliminate isolated areas of fat on the body, or who want to balance their body proportions. Body-Jet can also be used during a tummy tuck for Boston (http://www.cosmeticsurgeonboston.com/
"Generally, Body-Jet works best for the individual who is active and healthy, but who may be bothered by certain trouble zones that persist regardless of diet or exercise," Dr. Tantillo explains. "Body-Jet is not recommended for individuals who are overweight or who have a significant amount of excess skin."

Dark chocolate is all the rage now, and rightfully so. It's delicious, contains antioxidants in the form of flavonoids, is said to be good for your heart and has claims of being an aphrodisiac. Wow! Now why wouldn't you make this pudding? I use chocolate bars with at least 70 percent chocolate in this recipe. The higher the percentage, the greater the percentage of cocoa mass in the form of chocolate liquor, therefore there is less room left for sugar or other stuff.
Make sure to use silken tofu, the kind often sold in aseptic containers. Although I generally avoid using microwave ovens, if you've got one they are very handy for melting chocolate.

How Britain and Germany Have Led the Way to Energy BankruptcyAlan Carlin | April 8, 2016
There are many shortcomings in the climate warmist narrative, as explained in much more detail in my book, Environmentalism Gone Mad. It is actually hard to paper over all of the problems, but the warmists of the Western World have been quite imaginative in this regard. I find the climate science promoted by the warmists (the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming hypothesis) to be highly improbable and unproven. But another of the many weak spots in the narrative is the alleged "solution"–building vast farms of windmills and solar panels. This has actually been tried and we know what has happened in case there should be any doubts.
Several Western European countries have pioneered in building these farms, including Germany and Great Britain. Their energy economies show the expected results, including rapidly increasing electricity prices that far exceed US rates, over capacity of wind and solar during the summer, very marginal capacity to meet demand during winters, conventional electric utilities facing bankruptcy, shutdowns and movement of energy intensive industries to lower energy cost countries, loss of jobs in these industries and their suppliers, demands for government favortism in reducing green requirements to prevent these moves, households cut off from the grid and energy to heat their homes because they cannot afford the skyrocketing costs for the energy they need, and huge subsidies for wind and solar paid by taxpayers and ratepayers.
And what do these countries have to show for all these sacrifices? The thought that they have done their part to use an unproven hypothesis that catastrophic warming can be avoided by reducing human-caused carbon emissions even though the major countries with expanding carbon dioxide emissions, China and India, continue to rapidly expand their emissions. If, as appears to be the case, the hypothesis is wrong, these countries will have exactly nothing in return for all their sacrifices. Unfortunately, despite this dismal experience, this is exactly what EPA and President Obama are trying to bring about here in the US. The outcome will be the same, only at a much higher cost given the larger size of the US.

Man jailed for father death fraud
A man who did not report the death of his father for nearly five months and claimed his benefit payments has been jailed for three years.
Police found the body of Guy Blackburn, 54, on a bed in the living room of his home in Penwortham, Lancashire, last March after neighbours raised concerns.
His son, Christopher, 29, had been living at the house alongside the body but kept quiet about the death of his father from natural causes.
It emerged that the defendant also kept his 10-year-old daughter in the house and lied to her that her grandfather was asleep in his room.
Blackburn, now of Norman Road, Birkby, Huddersfield, admitted preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body between October 31 2010 and March 22 last year.
He also pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to theft in pocketing £1,869 of income support payments he collected from the post office.
Sentencing him at Preston Crown Court, the Recorder of Preston, Judge Anthony Russell, said: "Such offending is abhorrent to all decent-minded people who will be disgusted by your behaviour.
"It was callous and offensive to his (Guy Blackburn) friends and family who no doubt have been caused considerable distress by these circumstances. It also seems to me that you were motivated in part by greed."
Blackburn lied to police that he had spoken to his father since November 2010 and that he had a drink with him at Christmas.
Judge Russell told him: "You pretended he was still alive, misleading others - particularly your own daughter, a little girl. You have shown little remorse for your offending. A decent person would have immediately admitted to the police that this poor man had died months before but you tried to pretend he had been dead for only days."

Part 5.a: Implement flow-inspector on CentOS6
Read the paper:
Seriously. Stop now and read the paper.
Install backend stuff (a few are my preference):
echo [fedora_repo] >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo #allow yum access to the fedora repo echo name=fedora_repo >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo echo baseurl=http://download1.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/\$releasever/\$basearch/ >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo echo enabled=1 >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo echo skip_if_unavailable=1 >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo echo gpgcheck=0 >> /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora_repo.repo yum -y install make wget vim cronie crontabs bind-utils git gcc gcc-c++ cmake curl-devel python-devel python-pip redis libpcap libpcap-devel pcre pcre-devel mysql mysql-devel mysql-server wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.4/Python-2.7.4.tgz #needed for argparse module used in preprocessor.py tar zxvf Python-* cd Python-* ./configure && make && make install cd wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py python get-pip.py pip-2.7 -v install distribute paste jinja2 ujson redis mysql-python pymongo
Start redis:
redis will bind to 127.0.0.1:6379 by default.
chkconfig --level 345 redis on service redis start
Configure SELinux:
For now, disable:
setenforce permissive sed s/SELINUX\=enforcing/SELINUX\=permissive/ -i /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Add exception to firewall for web UI:
Edit the iptables files adding a jump to ACCEPT for tcp port 8080.
Secure your mysql instance:
chkconfig mysqld on service mysqld start /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation #enter for no root password #Y to set root password (m7sguil) #enter a password #Y to remove anonymous user #Y to disallow root login remotely #Y to remove test database and access to it #Y to reload privilege tables now #done
Create flow-inspector DB and create user:
Please change flowinspector_DBUSER_PASSWORD to something secure.
cd echo "CREATE DATABASE flowinspector;" >> ~/flowinspector.sql echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON flowinspector.* to 'flowinspector'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'flowinspector_DBUSER_PASSWORD';" >> ~/flowinspector.sql echo "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" >> ~/flowinspector.sql mysql -p < ~/flowinspector.sql shred -u -z -n 30 ~/flowinspector.sql
Download flow-inspector:
cd git clone http://github.com/constcast/flow-inspector.git
Configure flow-inspector:
Additional information on options can be found on the project wiki
Please change flowinspector_DBUSER_PASSWORD to something secure.
We will be using MySQL as our backend:
cd cd flow-inspector cp ./config/config.default.py ./config/config.py chmod 660 ./config/config.py sed s@"debug = True"@"debug = False"@ -i ./config/config.py sed s@"db_backend = \"mongo\""@"db_backend = \"mysql\""@ -i ./config/config.py sed s@"db_port = 27017"@"db_port = 3306"@ -i ./config/config.py sed s@"db_user = None"@"db_user = \"flowinspector\""@ -i ./config/config.py sed s@"db_password = None"@"db_password = \"flowinspector_DBUSER_PASSWORD\""@ -i ./config/config.py sed s@"db_name = \"flows\""@"db_name = \"flowinspector\""@ -i ./config/config.py
Leave the following settings as is, but get familiar with the contents:
- Original Flow DB
- Destination Data Backend
- Flow settings
- Preprocessor
Processing live data from the redis queue:
To flush the cache to the backend DB, the setting `live_import` must be set to `True` in config.py. This enables the preprocess.py to to flush the redis queue to the backend DB before the queue receives an entry string "END", at the schedule of 10 minutes, subsequently 5 minutes, until the process is stopped.
Start the system:
cd cd flow-inspector nohup python ./app/app.py > /dev/null & nohup python ./preprocess/preprocess.py > /dev/null &
preprocess.py will output statistic reports every 10 seconds. You can `nohup` `&` this as well. Or drop it to the background then disown it while it is running (watch out for data loss during this time).
Push flow data to flow-inspector:
Monitoring the redis queue:
To monitor the contents of the redis queue, run the following:
redis-cli monitor | awk '{print strftime("%F %H:%M:%S output: ", $1),$0}'
Option 1: Configure VERMONT to take incoming packets and send IPFIX to the redis queue:
In my instance, I will be using Vermont as my IPFIX probe, as it can push natively to the redis queue using a VERMONT module that is currently in development called ipfixFlowInspectorExporter. There is a separate write up focused on implementing the VERMONT probe.
Option 2: Configure use rasqlinsert from the argus project:
Previously, I ventured to use argus as a probe, rasqlinsert to insert argus records into a DB, then import_db_to_redis.py. Lothar Braun extended import_db_to_redis.py to include an argus DB source at my humble request (thanks!).
As Lothar had stated to me, preprocess.py requires a DB with at least the following tables:
+--------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | stime | double(18,6) unsigned | NO | | NULL | | | dur | double(18,6) | NO | | NULL | | | proto | varchar(16) | NO | | NULL | | | saddr | varchar(64) | NO | | NULL | | | sport | varchar(10) | NO | | NULL | | | daddr | varchar(64) | NO | | NULL | | | dport | varchar(10) | NO | | NULL | | | spkts | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | | dpkts | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | | sbytes | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | | dbytes | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | +--------+-----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
To target a specific table, use the `–table-name` argument.
Use cron to schedule imports from the database, with the run line:
import_db_to_redis.py --argus-db --src-host [argus mysql/postgresql db host] --src-port [argus mysql/postgresql db host port] --src-user [argus mysql/postgresql db user] --src-password [argus mysql/postgresql db user password] --src-database [argus mysql/postgresql db name]
Option 3: Configure VERMONT to take incoming packets and send IPFIX flows to a DB:
For this, you want to use the VERMONT module IpfixDbWriter.
Use cron to schedule imports from the database, with the run line:
import_db_to_redis.py --src-host [vermont mysql/postgresql db host] --src-port [vermont mysql/postgresql db host port] --src-user [vermont mysql/postgresql db user] --src-password [vermont mysql/postgresql db user password] --src-database [vermont mysql/postgresql db name]
Read the paper again:
Seriously. Stop now and read the paper again.
Additional info…
Here is some additional info on flow-inspector.
DELETE anything older than a month:
Since I run argus along side flow-inspector, I wish to same drive space and save some processing power by deleting records so that only the previous month is displayed in the web UI. I considered archiving, then realized that there is relatively no need to refer to the flow data in this manner that is older than a month. If you wish to, you can always use the argus-import script to regenerate the data in the tables from argus data.
You can use an EVENT to perform this task (following the included example for flow-inspector).
Sending data to the backend DB:
In order to understand this a bit better, it's useful to understand the redis queue.
The target redis queue is a queue named "entry:queue" which accepts flow data in JSON strings.
The JSON strings contain the fields that are defined in flow_aggr_values and flow_aggr_sums.
If the queue receives a redis message whose string is "END", or the python instance hosting preprocess.py receives a SIGTERM, then preprocess.py will flush data from memory to the backend DB.
There is a pending issue to better manage the in memory cache (in some manner), likely flushing data to the backend DB at some threshold.
Extending import:
The diagram at the beginning of this page covers the general flow of data from packets to web UI.
The redis queue can be consider the stable entry point of data.
Lothar recommends taking a look at ./lib/importer_modules.py and adding code to ./preprocess/import_db_to_redis.py to process plain text data.
Additionally, understanding more about the structure that is expected of the redis queue would allow you to author clients that would populate the redis queue directly (as Vermont does).
A possible interesting point for this would be an ra* client for argus ("raredis" for instance). I dropped an Email to Carter Bullard of qosient (the author of argus) about Lothar's inclusion of rasqlinsert populated DBs, and received no response.
Extending the final product:
I'd love to sit down and dig deeper into the web UI and backend and implement GeoIP data some how.
The IPFIX specification doesn't natively support the geoIP location information. This makes sense, as it should be up to a client to handle this.
argus's client set has this feature, previously covered, and it would be great to populate the backend DB with this additional information, then create a heatmap style extension to the flow-inspector web UI.
Adapting flow-inspector:
You can adapt flow-inspector by managing some of the "Flow settings," such as flow_aggr_values and flow_aggr_sums.
Alternates to single-threaded python HTTP server:
There are several backends to the Bottle framework as covered within the bottle documentation. The flow-inspector devs have included a run() for Paste that can be un-commented at the bottom on ./app/app.py.

Pocket full of bad advice
Sir It is one thing to mug ready notes from the market before examinations. It is quite another to fish out slips of paper from the pocket and cheat. The Students Federation of India, students wing of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist), has advocated the second method for Bankuras medical students (SFI pocket route to MBBS, June 19). Instead of hanging their heads in shame, SFI leaders are proudly announcing that the advice was their way of relieving students of pre-exam tension. But this outright violation of the ethics of examinations makes it easier to understand why active members of the SFI are often alleged to cruise through their examinations without needing to attend lectures or even study. It is also no secret that in many colleges and universities in the state, SFI activists stall classes on some pretext or the other. For those who may not choose to be under their umbrella, keeping some notes in pockets is hardly the advice to give.
Yours faithfully, Smita Dey, Calcutta
Trouble on the left
Sir Bhaskar Ghoses article, No reason to get smug (June 11), reminds me of the fact that Jawaharlal Nehru was seriously apprehensive of the possible rise of communal forces in India, but was not so disturbed by the activities of the communists in certain parts of the country. The rise of the communal forces, however, did not become serious in Nehrus lifetime. Ghose has voiced similar apprehensions about communal forces raising their head in West Bengal and the weakening of the hold of the Marxists here. His warning may be timely, but his prognosis is on the wrong lines.
Even while caste and communal tensions are tearing the country apart, these forces have not had any significant impact in West Bengal, although the number of communally-minded people is probably on the rise. In its approach to religion, Bengal has always adopted a more sensible stand than the rest of the country. The monolithic structure of Hindu religion could not establish itself here as it did elsewhere. The influences of Buddhism, tantrism, Vaishnavism and other forms of worship imparted a pluralistic outlook and generated a kind of liberalism not seen in any other part of India. To these may be added the messages of the Sufis and the bauls and Western enlightenment.
A new cultural concoction was thus prepared, which may be called the Bengali ethos, one that talked about the religion of man. It is, therefore, difficult in West Bengal for any party to communalize politics. In fact, this is why Bengal has become a fertile ground for the Marxists, who ideologically scorn religion and emphasize on the welfare of the common man. The moment the focus shifts, the people of Bengal will remove the left from power. The void then will be filled either by radical revolutionary forces, or by right-wing parties.

Sir The recently concluded panchayat elections in Bengal have raised certain important questions about the future of democracy in the state and about the internal crisis in the ruling left coalition, which is facing a shortage in quality leadership. Though the left has managed to retain power this time, its popularity is certainly on the wane. Bhaskar Ghose too has felt that the future of the Left Front is not too bright.
The frequent misunderstanding among different levels of the left leadership, and also the ugly clashes between the supporters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and those of the other Left Front allies before and during the panchayat elections do not augur well for the communists of the state. These could well be the first signs of the lefts fading out from the political scene in the state.
Yours faithfully, Niloy Sinha, Azimganj
Sir Satrujit Banerjee has shown up the 26 years of left rule in West Bengal for what it has been over two decades of misdeeds and misrule (Already dysfunctional at twenty six, May 13). Although it is still enjoying power owing mainly to the absence of a unified opposition in the state the Left Front has failed in all spheres, be it health, industry, education, employment, information technology or transport. Developmental work has virtually come to a standstill because of the terror tactics operating at different levels of the leftist establishment. In what way is the state of affairs in West Bengal now any different from the jungle-raj of Bihar'
Yours faithfully, C. Roy, Calcutta
Sir The results of the recent byelections in West Bengal confirm the dominant position of the CPI(M)-led Left Front in the state (CPM steamrolls divided opposition, June 12). The whimsical ways of the Trinamool Congress leader, Mamata Banerjee, are only helping the left to perpetuate its rule in the state. The coming away of a number of front-ranking members of the Congress to form the Trinamool Congress has reduced the importance of both parties in West Bengal politics. The Bharatiya Janata Party is still of little consequence in Bengal politics. But the Trinamool Congress should return to the Congress fold so that the BJP fails to bag the position of the largest opposition party in the state.
Yours faithfully, Kalyan Ghosh, Calcutta
Sir Just the hint of the sangh parivars appearance on the political horizons of West Bengal has sent Bhaskar Ghose into a tizzy.
However, a quarter century of left misrule, during which the state has moved from A to C category of Indian states, does not seem to bother him at all. It is becoming the wont of experts like him to smell hatred and conspiracy in every action of the sangh parivar.
Yours faithfully, K. Roy, Kalyani
Monumental agony
Sir Instead of protecting heritage buildings like the Taj Mahal, the government of Uttar Pradesh seems to be more concerned about attracting tourists (Sullied wonder, June 23). That too, the wrong way, by creating a commercial area around the Taj Mahal, full of malls and restaurants. Thankfully, it is not possible to undertake a project of this magnitude without the approval of the Centre, and this is where the Mayavati government has got stuck. Their should be state-level enquiries into the case.
Yours faithfully, B.S. Ganesh, Bangalore
Sir The timely intervention by the Union culture minister, Jagmohan, has saved the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort this time around. Taj Mahals system of water-flow, in its originally built fountains, is lying choked for centuries. The water of the Yamuna along the Taj should be streamlined to add to the appeal of the building and also to provide better environmental conditions. The Union government should do everything within its powers to stop construction around the Taj.
Yours faithfully, Subhash Chandra Agarwal, Delhi
