Is there any way for user CSS to determine if the nav bar is loaded? (I.E. if a user is logged in)
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
WP.com Bar
Good idea. There will be!
It is done. There is a "loggedin" class on the body tag.
sweet! :D
i think scott's going to reach right through the monitor and choke me soon.
Har, har, har. Far from it.
[I will sneak up behind you.]
Okay kamel so why would it be sweet to have this information? To whom would this information be available and what purpose would it serve to know it? In simple English please [she whined].
btw, please do not modify the admin bar in any way.
@andy -
i wouldn't dream of it
@ timethief -
the WP.com Bar adds 28 pixels to the top of the page. it moves everything down EXCEPT the background image. so if you have a background image that aligns with something in the content of the page, you need to add
body.loggedin { background-position: 0 28px; }
so that the background image moves down with the rest of the page.
except i'm having to re-write the CSS of this theme so much i may do something else altogether.
Thanks for the clarity kamel.:D

Seth Rogen pleads with Trump's son to ask his dad to resign on Twitter
17/02/2017 - 15:24:43Back to Discover Home
The power of Twitter is a mysterious phenomenon; it is used by world leaders, celebrities and the general public to express opinions - and in recent times to throw shade like it has never been thrown before.
Seth Rogan is the latest celebrity to succumb to the delicious accessibility of Twitter to directly engage one of his 5.22m followers, Mr Donald Trump Jr, and ask for his help.
Of course this was no easy request like, lend me a million dollars, this was a much more difficult task for the young Trump.
Seth asked Trump Jr to ask his dad, Mr Donald Trump AKA the President of the United States, to resign "before he destroys the planet."
Yo! @DonaldJTrumpJr! I noticed you follow me on Twitter. Please ask your dad to resign before he destroys the planet. Thanks dude.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) February 16, 2017
Not satisfied to just send one tweet, Seth then sent a series of DM's to Donald Trump Jr, explaining in detail what he would like him and his dad to do.
Let's see if this works! pic.twitter.com/q5b3d8U4Nx— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) February 16, 2017
Breaking down his request into three large direct messages, Seth mentioned the recent firing of Michael Flynn over his connection to Russia.
If @jasoninthehouse won't investigate Flynn's ties to Russia, maybe I can get his boss' son to help me do it. pic.twitter.com/bmOfDDepC3— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) February 16, 2017
In his final message, Seth listed a number of options for Mr Donald Trump going forward including this zinger: "maybe just ask your dad to go back to hosting game shows? I bet he would prefer that."
Sliding in to your DMs like: pic.twitter.com/zsUT4e2CnG— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) February 16, 2017
So yeah, Maybe Seth will be down a follower in the morning, but we don't think he really cares.

Genre: Action, War, Historical
121 minutes
A member of the Knights Templar must break his vows of peace and silence after King John seeks revenge for being forced to sign the Magna Carta.
Jonathan English, an American director still looking to make his mark on the industry, directs this historical drama about the siege of Rochester in 1215. After a couple of flops, this might be English's big break as a filmmaker. Ironclad is a very interesting look at the times of King John, striving for a blend of authenticity and true epic scope. The cinematography is certainly gorgeous, taking advantage of the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside. While not really supported by the lackluster editing, it still manages to come off as a strong visual piece, with good use of limited CGI elements to add to the scene instead of distract from it. The score is suitably classical and moving, tying the elements together nicely.
The script itself is mostly good, save for a few odd lines here and there, but it's the actors that really sell the story. Everyone gets to have their Oscar moments, showing off the strength of the cast. Paul Giamatti steals the show as King John, devouring scenery left and right like the bratty monarch was known for. James Purefoy delivers a solid performance as the film's hero, the world weary Knight Templar, torn between his vows and his desires to lead his own life. The rest of the cast is rounded out with fine readings that almost seem like character roles, representing common archetypes of fantasy and historical fiction, but manage to show some considerable depth.
The most surprising thing about the movie was the sheer impact of the violence in every scene. The action is incredibly grisly and graphic, sure to make even seasoned movie goers flinch at least a little. While the choreography wasn't terribly sophisticated, it's all performed with gusto and fervor, giving every battle a real sense of tension and value. Unfortunately, English opted to use the super tight style of action filming, making it very difficult to really appreciate anything happening on screen. It's chaotic and confusing, which works somewhat for placing the audience right in the thick of the battle. However, strictly as a piece of film, it does work against it aesthetically. Still, overall, Ironclad is a gritty and powerful historical war movie, and absolutely worth checking out in theaters.

'Crash' in on the fun in Southport
Published 12:22 pm, Thursday, April 11, 2013
It's been about three years since artist John Matos initially "crashed" upon the local art scene with a dramatic show at Fairfield University.
The once-upon-a-time graffiti artist, now described as an "internationally renowned urban street artist," again makes a trip to town for "Crash: Hide 'N' Seek," a show of his most recent works.
On view at Southport Galleries through Saturday, June 1, the exhibition will feature a collection of "freshly completed multi-layered canvases of disguised images."
Considered a pioneer of the graffiti art movement -- his career began at age 13 "tagging" dilapidated buildings and subway cars in New York City -- the 51-year-old Matos, who goes by the name "Crash" (referring to his once-rudimentary knowledge of computers), has long been part of the gallery world.
"My art is a visual link between street life and established society," wrote Matos in a statement. "Southport Village as a venue is a dramatic juxtaposition to the South Bronx where I began ... but my works never looked better on the gallery's generous white walls (complemented by its) amber-colored wood floors. My work looks `hot' in this electrifying hybrid of a `town and country' setting -- it all works for me."
Dr. Philip Eliasoph, a noted arts scholar who was instrumental in Crash's 2010 show at the university, where he teaches art history, said last week that the artist is "unquestionably that rare combination of a truly pace-setting artistic hero.
More InformationIf You Go
"Crash: Hide 'N'Seek" through June 1 at Southport Galleries, 330 Pequot Ave., in Fairfield's Southport Village center. Free. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 203-292-6124; www.southportgalleries. com.
"His intuitive understanding of color theory, design and explosive composition are turbo-charged into these unpredictable new works. Somewhere between Matisse's patterns, Kandinsky's squiggles and Lichtenstein's Pop art bubbles, Crash has broken the sound barrier into his uniquely visualized voice. Like our Southport train station, he's really elevated our tracks to a new artistic level," said Eliasoph, who is the gallery's consulting curator.
In 2011, Southport Gallery presented a retrospective of Matos' Pop-inspired graphic works.
"He's such an iconic figure, a magnetic personality ... we're so thrilled that he's returning with his new acrylic paintings," Eliasoph said.
"Our audience and collectors have been overwhelmed by the playful patterns and colorful intensities of the print series," said gallery co-owner Sissy Cargill Biggers. "And we are delighted to see that over the last three years Crash has been experimenting and painting with a fascinating set of new ideas."
In a previous interview, Matos said his passion for creating art has never abated.
Playing cat-and-mouse with Transit Police was never about annoying the establishment or the desire to vandalize private property, or even about the frustration of growing up in a desperately poor area of New York, he recalled.
"It was always about the art; it still is," said Matos.
Eliasoph said that Matos is considered a living-legend, an "old master" who remains a steady force in the contemporary art scene. "Crash was part of the first generation of graffiti artists who changed the look and feel of New York's subways," he added.
"Crash broke out of the Bronx to hang out at (Andy) Warhol's `Factory' studio, and was a part of, and curated, the iconic 1980 `Fashion MODA' exhibit launching the graffiti movement. His work was pivotal in the very important Sidney Janis exhibition that helped introduce graffiti to the legitimate New York art world," the gallery writes, quoting Matos as saying: "I was jumping over barbed wired fences evading the transit cops and then one day being honored at leading museum exhibits."
Rock music fans may be familiar with Matos' signature guitar designs, "Crashocasters," used by such musicians as Eric Clapton and Bridgeport/Fairfield's own John Mayer.
The gallery reports that one of Matos' custom-designed Fender guitars was auctioned for $321,000 to benefit Clapton's charity.
In that same interview, Matos reflected on his early years.
"I got to be honest with you," said the artist, laughing. "I was a kid from the projects. And as a teenager, at that point, there wasn't much to do that was fun and legal. Crime was way out of control" at the time in the South Bronx, he said, adding that using subway cars as movable canvases seemed like a fairly benign activity in comparison to the violence pervasive in his neighborhood.
From early on, he said, he realized that creating art was not just for fun: "Truly in my heart, I always knew that (art) was something powerful. I knew that something (special) was going on."
And he's happy it still is.

Nicki Minaj has been on quite the outfit streak recently. She's like the LeBron James of wearing awesome things. Just the other day, I wrote a post about some shorts that may have been a bit too small for her. Now, Nicki is rocking a completely see-through outfit that totally shows off her black lace thong. There were also some colorful jewels all over, which sort of give the look a fun, festive look. It's like a Christmas tree, covered in shiny ornaments, only minus the branches it's all hanging off lots of boobs and butt.
The outfit was for a show she recently did in Angola. Nicki even met some fans afterwards, who got a glimpse of the outfit close-up. I, for one, am excited to see what she comes out wearing next.
Oh no big deal…she's just the 8th richest woman in the world. (At least that's what I was told by someone b4 we took this photo) Lol. Yikes!!!!! GIRL POWER!!!!! This motivates me soooooooooo much!!!! S/O to any woman on a paper chase. Get your own!!!! Success is yours for the taking!!!!! #Angola thank u to the women who brought me out here as well. ❤

State of the World's Minorities and Indigenous Peoples 2012 - Nigeria

|Minority Rights Group International, State of the World's Minorities and Indigenous Peoples 2012 - Nigeria, 28 June 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4fedb3f45a.html [accessed 21 March 2018]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The year 2011 can be described as the 'Year of Minorities' in Nigeria because the country elected its first civilian president from a minority ethnic group. Dr Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw from the Niger Delta region, was sworn in as president following the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua in 2010. In the April 2011 general elections, Jonathan defeated General Muhammadu Buhari, former military head of state and candidate of the opposition Congress for Progressive Change (CPP), which drew most of its support from the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups in the north.
However, apart from its symbolism, the electoral victory of Jonathan has not changed the fortunes of minorities in the country. Although the amnesty for Niger Delta militants which came into force in 2009 held for much of 2011, Niger Delta minority communities – including Etche, Ijaw, Kalibari and Ogoni – continued to experience environmental devastation due to oil spills and gas flares. Decades of oils spills from multinational oil company operations, sabotage of pipelines and widespread gas flaring have left the Niger Delta heavily polluted. Oil spills from dilapidated infrastructure were aggravated by spillage caused by the activities of oil thieves. Throughout the year, authorities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) repeatedly acknowledged that 150,000 barrels of oil were being lost to illegal oil bunkering every day.
A 2011 report published by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) found that oil contamination in Ogoniland is widespread and severely affecting the environment. Cleaning up oil pollution in the Ogoniland region may require US$ 1 billion and take up to 30 years. The UN report found that oil contamination had migrated into the groundwater in at least eight spill sites that the Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell had claimed they had cleaned up, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW). The Ogoni forced Shell to stop exploration and production activities in their land after the Nigerian government ordered Ogoni environmental rights activists, including Ken Saro-Wiwa, to be killed in 1995. At the end of February 2012, the US Supreme Court heard whether or not corporations can be held liable for complicity in human rights abuses outside the country. The case specifically concerns the alleged involvement of Shell in the torture and killing of Ogoni activists.
In the north-central region of the country, inhabited mostly by ethnic minorities, several communities continued to witness violent clashes between local farmers and migrant herders. Clashes are linked to increasing desertification, which has forced pastoralists to move southwards in search of pasture for their cattle. Pressures on land arising from an increase in population and land grabbing by commercial farmers have undermined existing regulations on resource use as encroachment on pastoral corridors and grazing reserves forces pastoralists to graze on farmlands. Estimates of casualties vary. HRW reported that 200 people were killed in Plateau State between January and April 2011.
Between January and June 2011, 100 people were killed in clashes between Tiv farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Benue State, and over 20,000 persons displaced and scores of communities destroyed. Towards the end of the year, another 5,000 people were displaced in Benue and Nasarawa States as Fulani herdsmen clashed with farmers. Up to 10 people were killed in the attacks. The perennial tensions between herders and farmers over land and water use have become more complicated as the two occupational groups are on opposite sides of the ethno-religious faultlines. Attacks perpetrated by suspected members of the Boko Haram Islamist group, which launched several suicide attacks in Nigeria, including the August bombing of the UN office in Abuja, have increasingly targeted farming communities in dispute with pastoralists. The ethnic and religious dimensions of the conflict appear to be overshadowing the underlying basis, which is competition over natural resources. The government has focused on so-called anti-terrorism campaigns while failing to address resource depletion and ethnic conflict in the country, particularly between minority groups.

Randy Johnson: Notches 300th VictoryJune 5, 2009
(The Voice of Yankees Universe)
"The Big Unit" has finally reached the 300 win milestone today, as he led the San Fransisco Giants to a 5-1 victory against the Washington Nationals. He didn't really fit in well with the New York Yankees, but I was a big fan of his. I would say that he has been the most dominant starting pitcher of his generation. Whether it is his 6-foot-10 frame, his blazing fastball, or his amazing strikeout totals, I have always been fascinated with the guy.
He is the only one of twenty four players to ever reach the 300 win plateau. Randy is also only one of six lefties to ever reach 300 wins.
Anyone think he wants to reach 5,000K's? He stands at 4,845 strikeouts right now, which makes him 155K's away from that mark. It would be difficult for him to reach that mark this year unless he goes on a tear, and I would hate for him to come up a few short of that milestone.
Randy Johnson has compiled some insane numbers over the years: (W-L) 300-164 3.28ERA, 4845K, and a 1.17WHIP. The guy is a complete lock for Cooperstown and it has been a pleasure to watch him over the years. Congratulations to the Big Unit.

For National Breast Cancer Awareness month, buying Eggland's Best eggs now through November 15 helps support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. The eggs are stamped with the familiar pink ribbon logo – a reminder each time you're ready to crack a shell. Dietitian Elizabeth Ward partnered with the campaign to showcase how certain foods, including chicken and eggs, are excellent lean protein sources and contain plenty of nutrients to help you live a healthier lifestyle.
"I think there's so much information out there about what constitutes a healthy diet and what you should be doing in terms of exercise that it can become overwhelming, and if you're busy you might not have the time to wade through it," Ward says. Distilling advice into three simple tips, she wants women to embrace these changes and fight the rising number of women with breast cancer.
Here are her three simple lifestyle tips at the heart of her message.
Build your diet out of whole grains, seafood and lean protein sources such as chicken and fortified eggs.
Eating the right foods doesn't mean spending hours in the kitchen or making everything from scratch. Ward recognizes women lead hectic lives and need quick solutions: "You can do something as simple as go to the grocery store and get a rotisserie chicken that has already been cooked. Go to the frozen foods aisle, get a bag of mixed frozen vegetables and go pick up some crusty whole grain bread – and that is a meal."
If you have eggs on hand, you can make a meal in minutes – scrambled eggs, an omelette, French toast. Breakfast foods work at any time of day, and eggs are low in calories and high in protein and nutrients such as vitamin D.
Ward also hard-boils eggs at the beginning of the week for her go-to snack, combining an egg with some whole-grain crackers, fruit or vegetables. "I think snacks are great, but they should be mini meals, not meal wreckers," she says. "Always be thinking of a protein food and a carbohydrate food to put together."
When planning your meals, incorporate high-quality lean protein into your diet to feel more satisfied in between meals and help reduce overall calorie intake.
"It's very important to build your meals around protein because protein helps to keep you fuller for longer," she says. Research has proven that eating protein such as eggs at breakfast will help you stay energized throughout the day and be less likely to give in to empty-calorie cravings.
Preliminary evidence also suggests that vitamin D and choline can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Eggland's Best eggs contain twice the amount of vitamin D when compared to ordinary eggs, and contain 125 milligrams of choline, which is 25 percent of the daily adult requirement.
Staying physically active for just 35 minutes a day will help with weight control, as well as help reduce risk of certain cancers, such as breast cancer.
How can busy people fit in 35 minutes? Break up your exercise time. "Get the exercise however you can – get out and take 10- or 15-minute walks," Ward advises. "Use a video at home or an active video game to get your exercise in. Do what you can, because all movement burns calories and will go towards controlling your weight better."

Tickets for the mouth-watering World Cup clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on March 1, at Pretoria, have been sold out as expected.
The bitter foes have not met on a cricket field for more than two years after the Indian government banned its team from playing its neighbour following the Kargil conflict in 1999.
However, there is no ban on the Indian team taking on Pakistan in multi-nation events like the World Cup and fans have lapped up the opportunity to relive the excitement which the clash between the rivals invariably generates.
Also sold out on Monday were 15,000 tickets for India's matches against England and Australia in Durban and Centurion respectively, ICC spokesperson Rodney Hartman informed in Durban.
The tickets for the mega event's final in Johannesburg and one semi-final in Durban were sold out much earlier.
However, some 95,000 tickets are still available for various matches at all 12 venues in South Africa. Hartman said these were the last remaining tickets available.
"These tickets became available after some people failed to make their purchase after being allocated seats in the Ticket Window random draw ballot system which closed last week," he said.
"Some tickets also came back from sponsors who did not want to purchase their full allocation."
Hartman said there are also some tickets available for the Opening Ceremony on February 8 in Cape Town.

Locally-made GE battery powers zero-emission bus
Published 6:35 pm, Thursday, December 13, 2012
NISKAYUNA — GE Global Research announced Thursday that it has been able to use one of its Durathon batteries made at its new battery plant in Schenectady to power a zero-emission bus.
GE's researchers paired the Durathon battery, made using high-density sodium technology, along with a traditional lithium battery and a hydrogen fuel cell.
Fuel cells are still expensive for powering large zero-emission vehicles, so GE has been looking at ways to use them with batteries so that smaller fuel cells can be used, thereby reducing the costs.
The use of the two kinds of batteries has unique benefits since traditional lithium batteries offer a lot of power for acceleration without being able to store a lot of energy for long drives, GE says. However, sodium batteries are just the opposite. They can store a lot of energy, enabling a longer driving range, although they are not suited for acceleration. The technologies work well in tandem, GE found.
The research being done by GE Global Research in Niskayuna, which is GE's main research lab, is part of a $13 million research project with the Federal Transit Administration and the Northeast Advanced Consortium. It gets funding through the National Fuel Cell Bus Program.
So far, GE has been making the Durathon battery mainly for back-up power for cellphone towers, although vehicle power is another big market for the future.

Giants general manager Jerry Reese has a head start on me this offseason, cutting wide receiver Victor Cruz and running back Rashad Jennings as well as re-signing a few exclusive rights free agents this week. But those moves were no-brainers. Business is about to pick up with the two-week franchise tag window opening on Wednesday and the start of free agency less than three weeks away.
The offseason is all about fitting the pieces of the current roster, free agency and the draft together. Heres my 10-step approach to improving the Giants this offseason.
1 more cut
Cruz and Jennings were obvious cost-cutting moves that cleared $10 million in cap space. Theres one more move to be made: Cutting linebacker J.T. Thomas, which would open an additional $3 million in cap space. If the Giants get desperate for cap space, they could approach cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie about a contract restructuring that would get him more guaranteed money while lowering his $8.5 million cap hit in 2017.
Saed Hindash | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Re-sign JPP
Ideally, the Giants will work out a deal with free agent defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul before March 1 when the deadline to apply the franchise tag passes. Pierre-Paul is the domino that will impact everything else the Giants do this offseason. I wouldnt break the bank for Pierre-Paul, which is why Id want to have him locked up before he can hit the open market. Using the franchise tag (approximately $17 million) to buy time to work out an extension is unappealing because that would tie up more than half of the Giants cap space. Something in the four-year, $60 million range seems like a fair deal for both sides.
John Munson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Sign Andrew Whitworth
Left tackle is the Giants biggest need and they must address it with urgency. That means going all-in to sign the best left tackle on the market, even if thats 35-year-old Andrew Whitworth. The career-long Bengal has missed just two starts in the past eight seasons, so there are no signs that hes on the verge of breaking down. A two-year deal in the $16-20 million range seems reasonable. If the Giants strikeout on Whitworth, they have to hope a quality veteran, like Denvers Russell Okung, gets cut. Otherwise, theyll need to pursue a trade for Clevelands Joe Thomas or San Franciscos Joe Staley. Going into next season with Ereck Flowers at left tackle isnt an option.
Mitch Stringer | USA TODAY Sports
Let Hankins walk
Unless Hankins is going to come back for cheap, the Giants should say goodbye to the 2013 second-round pick. Hankins is a solid player, although probably overrated by Giants fans. Hes not the type of player that should be a high priority for a team with a finite amount of cap space and glaring needs elsewhere. A natural three-technique defensive tackle with more pass-rushing ability would be a better complement to run-stuffer Damon Harrison. Jay Bromley, Robert Thomas and a cheap veteran should be able to replace Hankins production.

Breaking Ground Where Echoes of Edison Linger in New Jersey
WEST ORANGE, N.J. — The facade of Thomas Edison's last factory in this town crumbles behind a chain-link fence on Main Street. The dilapidated building sits on several acres of fallow land, a sharp contrast to its state in 1914, when it was just one piece of the American inventor's formidable manufacturing operation.
In the last few weeks, workers have begun restoring the 400,000-square-foot Edison Storage Battery factory, the first step in a $230 million redevelopment project. Called Edison Village, it is intended to transform 21 acres in this New York City suburb into a neighborhood with shops, parking and housing.
The start of construction brings a decade of setbacks to a close, despite lingering concerns from some residents that the project might not deliver on its promise of renewal.
West Orange, with 46,700 residents spread over 12.5 square miles, is about 20 miles from Manhattan. The first phase of the project will create about 330 rental apartments and bring 18,500 square feet of retail space, as well as parking and streetscape improvements to the complex. The site is opposite Edison's laboratory, which is now part of the Thomas Edison National Historic Park, where visitors can tour his home in nearby Llewellyn Park and learn about his inventions.
The second phase, with about 230 townhouses and 20,000 square feet of retail, which could include a small grocery store, according to the developer, will replace a CVS pharmacy and a Barton Press factory about a block from the battery factory.
"This is a big opportunity for the downtown to see some rebirth," said West Orange's mayor, Robert D. Parisi. "Old downtowns are struggling to survive in a modern world."

The town adopted a redevelopment plan for the area in 2003, and designated a redeveloper, Prism Capital Partners of Bloomfield, N.J., three years later. The original plan to build condos was derailed by the recession. The project hit another roadblock in 2012, when five West Orange residents filed a lawsuit challenging the town's decision to issue $6.3 million of municipal bonds to finance infrastructure improvements.
Continue reading the main story
Last December, the State Supreme Court upheld a lower-court ruling in favor of the town, clearing a path for redevelopment to begin. And in February, Prism secured a $70 million construction loan.
Like many older American suburbs, West Orange struggles to draw visitors to its aging downtown. Its Main Street winds along a mile-and-a-half-long stretch of houses, municipal buildings and offices interspersed with pockets of disconnected retail. It makes for an unwieldy stroll.
The plan's critics oppose using public money to finance a private development that might not deliver sufficient revenue to a middle-class community burdened with high property taxes. An influx of new residents could strain public schools and worsen traffic on a congested artery, they say.
"I shudder to think about the impact of a failed project," said Joe Krakoviak, a member of the town council and a critic of the plan.
Edison Village's detractors argue that the approval process was opaque, leaving questions about the viability of the plan. Among the concerns are that Edison Village is not within walking distance of a train station, unlike similar projects in other New Jersey suburbs, and that the nearest stop for a bus to Manhattan is about a half-mile walk. Prism, though, says it plans to offer shuttle service to a train station.

In its prime, the area around the factory, at Main Street and Lakeside Avenue, was a center of industry, not retail. At its peak, 10,000 workers toiled in dozens of buildings here. Around 850 of them worked in the four battery factory buildings, which made batteries for industrial uses like submarines and mining lamps.
"Many residents still tell me stories about their grandfathers who worked for Edison," said Joseph Fagan, a local historian. "Edison helped place West Orange on the map."
But by the 1960s, many of the American inventor's businesses had been spun off. The businesses slowly failed, said Leonard DeGraaf, an archivist at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park. "That had an enormous impact on the community," he said. In the early 1970s, the factories were razed, except for the battery complex, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
Mr. Parisi, who grew up near the factories and still lives in the neighborhood, remembers gathering with neighbors on the street as a young boy to watch the buildings implode. For days afterward, he and his friends climbed through the rubble, scouring for remnants of Edison's inventions and finding some of the wax cylinders that had been used for phonographs.
Edison Village, with grounds open to the public during the day, is intended to usher into the downtown the new era of the American urban center. New retail will open in about a year and a half, bringing coffee shops and restaurants to a drab block that faces an auto body shop, a bar and some houses.
The Edison factory, which will house nearly all of the apartments, will open in about two and a half years. Planned building renovations include restoring the facade and replacing the roughly 800 windows that wrap around the buildings, offering views of the neighboring brick laboratory and, in the distance, the New York City skyline.

The complex will have a pool, a fitness center and 20 penthouse duplex apartments. Asking rents for the loftlike apartments could start around $1,600 a month for a studio and $2,600 for a two-bedroom. Streetscape improvements will add lighting, replace sidewalks and move utility poles. Supporters of the project hope that the investment will draw other businesses and developers that might be reluctant to be the first to invest in downtown.
"Redevelopment is a powerful tool," said Eugene Diaz, a principal at Prism, which is developing the project with Dune Real Estate Partners and Greenfield Partners. "It breeds confidence for people to take chances."
Still, some residents are skeptical of the deal, particularly the decision to issue municipal bonds to finance the infrastructure work. Under a 30-year tax-alternative agreement, the mayor estimates that the town could receive as much as $1.188 million a year in payments from Prism, but only after the first phase of the development is fully occupied. At a minimum, it would receive $650,000 a year. The town now collects $465,683 in property taxes for the Edison site, Mr. Parisi said. A tax agreement has not yet been reached for the second phase of the project.
Critics argue that the payment arrangement amounts to a substantial tax break for a project that will bring new residents who could strain schools and infrastructure. Property taxes are already high. Last year, the average residential tax bill was roughly $13,000, and the average home value was about $338,000.
"The taxpayers should not be subsidizing these guys," said Mark Meyerowitz, a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the town. "It's just a bad deal for the citizens of West Orange."
Mr. Parisi said he expected that the development would not draw a large number of families with school-age children, arguing that such developments tend to appeal to young professionals and empty nesters. As for traffic, Ashland Avenue, a street that runs parallel to Main Street, will be extended during the second phase of the project, easing congestion.
Ultimately, Mr. Parisi sees the alternative — leaving a hulking eyesore in the middle of town — as the greater risk. "The goal," he said, "was to revitalize a neighborhood." Mr. Parisi added that increasing tax rolls was not the main objective.
"We have tried to do everything we can to roll out the red carpet for this type of development," he said.

Traditionally made Windsor Chairs
(click on any of the thumbnails for a larger view)
Windsor chairs originated in England in the late 17th century, probably from around High Wycombe rather than the town whose name they bear. The Thames valley in South East England was rich in Beechwood forests and it was here that the chair Bodgers set up their camps, harvesting the wood and turning the legs, stretchers and armposts on rudimetary spring pole lathes operated in the open air. These parts were then sent to the manufacturer to be mated with the seats, made by the Bottomer, and the bent arms and spindles made by the Framer, who also completed the assembly of the chair. The whole process was governed by the Guild system as were all the trades and crafts and it had been that way for centuries.
The great innovation of the Windsor style was to divide the chair at the seat. Prior to the Windsor, the legs and back supports of virtually all chairs were made from the same piece of wood. By anchoring the legs into the seat and making the back a separate piece, it became possible to introduce more radical angles without sacrificing strength, resulting in a more stable and comfortable chair.
With the migration of Chairmakers to New England and Upper Canada, a further development occurred, because in the New World the Craftsman was free to make his own innovations as he was no longer bound by the restrictive Guild system. Many Chairmakers set up shop on their own and introduced new ideas and improvements as they occurred to them. Thanks to this translation of the style at the hands of the New World Chairmakers, we have the distinctive, graceful and comfortable chairs that are still popular today, over three hundred years later.
My love of these chairs has led me to study the methods by which they were made by the early Chairmakers, and to adopt the tools and techniques which gave the chairs their distinctive qualities. Thus, for me, making a chair begins in the forests around my Eastern Ontario home. I select the right woods for the particular parts of the chair. Straight grown Red Oak for the backs and spindles, hard Maple for the legs and stretchers and Pine for the seats.
The natural shrinkage of partially seasoned wood is used to obtain permanent joints. This means that tenons are fully dried in hot sand, while sockets are left semi-dry. A snug fit at the time of assembly shrinks to become very tight and hence immune to the seasonal changes of humidity that sooner or later loosen the joints of a conventionally made chair. By these methods and others, such as tapered seat and armpost tenons, wedged through joints, and assembly under tension, a chair of great strength is made.Seats are deeply sculpted for comfort, from boards of generous thickness, using Adze, Inshave, Drawknife and Spokeshave. Spindles are riven from logs then whittled, rather than lathe turned, to achieve greater delicacy of line with no loss of strength. In assembly, the slope of the back, height of the armrests and seat can be tailored to the individual for whom the chair is being made.
Traditionally, Windsor chairs were finished with Milk Paint in rich yet subtle tones. The painted surface draws the eye to the sculpted lines, and unifies the appearance of a chair made from several different woods. A final coat of linseed oil, later followed by paste wax, gives a lovely patina that only improves with age.
There were many variations of the Windsor chair. I have chosen designs I consider classics of the form and emphasize sculpture, strength and comfort.

The exhibit really is all encompassing.
It features hats that were worn by celebrities like Brad Pitt and Madonna and there's even a piece that dates back to the 12th century.
The show examines the history of hats, the culture of wearing hats and the practice of hat making.
"The exhibition offers everything, a full scope of experience for the visitor," said Nina Stritzler-Levine, Chief Curator.
From the unusual to the ornate, traditional and over the top, this new exhibit at the Bard Graduate Center features 260 hats.
One was Napoleon III's wife's from 1865 and another one belonged to Sarah Jessica Parker.
"The exhibition ranges in all kinds of styles but there's a humor with elegance in many of these hats that I find incredibly appealing," Stritzler-Levine said.
It's collaboration between the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and world renowned milliner Stephen Jones.
In fact, part of the exhibit takes you inside his atelier.
Once there you'll get a rare peak at Jacqueline Kennedy's handwritten letters in which she admits, though a fan, she still felt absurd wearing hats.
"We also have the hat that President Roosevelt wore to the fourth inauguration which is a magnificent mink top hat," Stritzler-Levine said.
Another display pays tribute to famous hats from American History.
It features Andy Warhol's wig and others that are a nod to New York City hat makers, including Harlem based Rod Keenan.
There's a selection of hats made out of paper, wood, and plastic.
It's as much for the aficionado as for the person who knows nothing about hats but is considering wearing one.
Stritzler-Levine feels all of this came together at a crucial time in the art world and has set up an exciting dynamic.
"The opportunity for fashion to be understood as something part of everyday life but also an important part of history and museum going experience is something I think is really important to assert," Stritzler-Levine said.
The hats are showcased on three floors at the Bard Graduate Center.
There is also a video component to the exhibit which runs through April 15th.

Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much!Gracie and her sister, Daisy, were wild puppies that are slowly beginning to trust us.
How beautiful…
Thank you, Ellen. She is one of the first puppies we acquired this year.
Gracie has such a cute face, and this is a lovely portrait shot of her Debbie. Nice work. Susan
Thank you. She was a puppy born to a stray pack of dogs. We caught her and her sister, Daisy, and have been raising them. They are slowly learing to trust us. They do great with me but are still scared of most other people.
How wonderful of you to take them in and bring them up as yours. Hopefully before long they will get over their insecurity and accept people who will be kind to them. I admire you for your kindness and willingness to work with them. Susan
Thanks. She and Daisy will both come and eat dog treats out of my had. Daisy is a little more brave than Gracie and will come up and lick my hand and paw at it like she wants to play. Sudden moves still spook them though . They are in a big pen and sometimes I catch them and hold them. They feel tense at first but relax and enjoy it when they see that I am not going to hurt them.
Time, love and patience and kindness, will work for you in the end. Just know that you have brought these two dogs hope and a good life that many others don't ever get the opportunity to experience. You have your wings to heaven my friend. Susan
Thank you, Susan. I have never been one that could turn away a stray. I guess that is why at one time I had 8 cats and 4 dogs and 10 puppies (8 were born to a lost dog that I found. After 4 months her owners saw a picture I had posted of her at the vet's office and came and got her and 2 of her puppies).

Brazen thieves stole three forklift trucks from a warehouse in St Helens.
Detectives believe the raid took place some time between Monday, June 16 and 17.
Police were called to the recycling firm Viridor on Lancots Lane at around 3.55pm on Tuesday, June 17, by a member of staff reporting that offenders had gained entry to a warehouse and stolen three fork-lift trucks.
The trucks were being stored in the warehouse and are believed to be worth approximately £10,000.
Det Con Andy Passey, St Helens CID, said: "The fork-lifts are quite large vehicles and we believe someone may have seen them being taken along Lancots Lane or possibly on Robins Lane.
"As part of the appeal we have issued photographs of vehicles similar to the two types which were stolen.
"If people have seen any similar vehicles or think they may be being stored somewhere in their area, I would appeal to them to get in touch with us.
"We will act on all the information we receive."
Details of the trucks which were stolen are: TCM model FD40T9 (serial number 1752), TCM model FD40T9 (serial number 1757), and Komatsu model FD30 (serial number 42273).

Price most important factor for meat buying public
Price is the most important consideration when buying meat for consumers, according to research comissioned by the British Poultry Council (BPC).
The survey found that 61% of 2,067 people said price was the most important factor when choosing what meat to buy and eat. Appearance was the second most important consideration for a third of consumers (33%), followed closely by taste (31%). Consumers in the South West and aged 18-24 (both 70%) are the most price conscious, whereas those aged 65 and over are the least likely to prioritise cost (only 45%).
The BPC also reported that buying British was important for consumers with 60% saying they buy British (28% 'always' and 32% 'mostly'). The report also analysed regional differences and found that 29% of Scots said they 'always' bought British meat compared with 14% of those in Yorkshire and Humber.
The study, conducted by Populus, a member of the BPC, also gauged people's 'engagement' with poultry after the horsemeat scandal and found one in five respondents (19%) said they now eat more poultry than beef, pork or other meat.
Andrew Large, chief executive of the BPC, commented on the results: "The UK poultry industry continues to feed the nation. British provenance remains important for the majority of consumers and so we will strive to provide them with high quality, healthy and affordable products."

Four people, including two infants, were in hospital Tuesday following an early morning fire in east Edmonton.
According to Edmonton Fire Rescue, the fire began in a kitchen of an apartment located at 33 St. and 106 Ave.
They say the flames were caused by a pot of oil overheating on the stove.
It is unknown what the conditions are of the people who were taken to hospital.
Firefighters were on the scene at 4.56 a.m. and the fire was declared out about half an hour later.

A VITAL community centre in danger of closing has been given a new lease on life.
The Griffith Women's Refuge has agreed to take over the Alma Bamblett Centre in Pioneer after the previous lessee, Summit, decided not to renew its lease.
The head of Pioneer Tenants Advisory Group (PTAG), Elizabeth Hansen, had been furiously petitioning local groups in an effort to secure a new lessee and is thrilled the Women's Refuge has agreed.
The new arrangement will begin on November 4.
"We're looking forward to bigger and better things in future," Mrs Hansen said.
"It will still stay as the Alma Bamblett Centre and PTAG will be driving it but we hope to build it up and include more services there."
Mrs Hansen said the alliance would benefit Pioneer residents in need of assistance from the Women's Refuge.
Refuge manager Yvonne Wilson said the centre provided a "very important service" to the community.
"It is a community centre in a very disadvantaged community," Mrs Wilson said.
"We want to engage residents and work together with the community to make it a centre for everyone."
Mrs Wilson has big plans for the centre and hopes to provide greater access to services and information for residents.
Volunteers will be kept abreast of new changes and Mrs Wilson plans to work in conjunction with PTAG.
"We will talk to the community and find out how best the centre can be utilised," she said.
"We also need to look at how we can assist with what's needed there and see if we can generate any income to recoup costs."

That is the point. Yes, But some English messages are already too geeky to be translated for non-geeks.. "Failed to dup()/wait3()", "Core dumped", "Failed to listen/bind a socket in function()"; even English natives don't understand what these mean without some Unix programming experiences. As a translator, I'd like to see more non-geek-friendly English msgids. There were no way to avoid clumsyness, while translating such messages. Need more English translation. :

Why I Care About Critiques and Feedback
A few days ago, Scott Roche, AKA SpiritualTramp on Twitter raised a question about critiques. Do we want them? How do we want them and so on. What followed was an extremely spirited (natch) discussion about the topic. One I got involved in. Now, those of you who have read any of my posts probably know I cherish feedback. But why is that? Why do I care what other people think about my writing and podcasting? Well, I think it all comes down to knowing that I'm creating something people want to hear/read. But don't I know if I'm doing a good job or not? Well, in a word, No. I am totally oblivious to whether my own work is […]Read more

Celeste, My 2011 RS -Whiteknight012's Build Thread-
Some background story first:
I've been obsessed with Camaros since around 1994, when one of the moms at my elementary school showed up in a red 4th gen convertible. The way it turned heads and caused people to stare at it in admiration was not lost on me, even at that young age.
When I was in high school, they refreshed the 4th gen body style, and I liked it immediately. One of the kids at my high school had a 2002 Z28...I thought he was the luckiest guy on the planet.
A couple years later, Transformers came out. As soon as I saw Bumblebee as the 5th gen concept, I was absolutely hooked. Aside from the part where Megan Fox looks under Bumblebee's hood, the audience never reacted to anything as much as the Camaro on screen. It had the same effect on me as it did back in 1994...I was filled with awe and respect.
Finally, 2010. I had been reading about Camaro5 Fest II on the Camaro5 forums, and I was finally at the stage in my life where it was financially conceivable to look into buying a Camaro. The Fest sounded like the greatest thing ever, especially since I live in CA, which had one of the greatest caravans planned. I had to be a part of it. This time, I wouldn't be the one just looking and wishing!
I test-drove several Camaros around the valley with my Dad, which was more of a formality than anything. Unless it was a terrible experience, my mind was already made up. Thankfully, it turned out that they drive and handle as good as they look! But of all the ones we looked at, I couldn't find "the one". Whether it was the color, the package (no way I was getting those "LS" wheels, sorry), or the price (out of my range), something was missing from the ones that we tested. So I decided that I would order exactly what I wanted, and wait a litttttle bit longer. ::Sigh:: I went to the dealership and placed my order on November 7th, 2010.
After what seemed like an eternity, I took delivery on December 27th, 2010. I had ordered a 2011 1LT/RS in CGM with black stripes- the single greatest color combination in my opinion. I decided to go with the V6 instead of V8 completely because of cost...just wasn't in the position to afford the extra $8 grand plus tax, along with gas mileage, insurance, etc. If I could do it all again, would I go with an SS? Absolutely. Now that I'm officially an "enthusiast", it's the obvious choice. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not.
I went to the dealership on my lunch to check her out before taking delivery that night:
I absolutely love the way CGM looks when the sunlight hits it:
I named her Celeste, which means "Heavenly". Activate permagrin in 3...2...1...
And how she looks today (Updated 04/2015):

Well so far we have the original and two expansions. Which in your opinion is the best raid so far in the game?
Consider layout, bosses etc. and also consider it playing at the level it was intended for (so doing AQ in lvl 60 gear and not 80).
My all-time favorite is Karazhan, loved the atmosphere, lay-out, and the great boss encounters.
So share with us which your favorite is. (Not the one you dislike or anything, just the one you like most).

What's the speed of different browsers (on linux) for you?
By "all other browsers" I mean mainly opera and iceweasel (I assume that other gecko-based browsers like iceape and kazehakase would fare similarly), because konqueror, arora, midori, and netsurf will do even worse. I didn't test text browsers.
Is that the usual pattern for everyone, or I must have something wrong on my setup?
07-07-2010 #2
I haven't run Opera or Konqueror in a long while as Firefox is sufficiently fast enough for me. The fastest browser I've found is Links-graphics. I really like Google-Chrome and it seems faster for me than Firefox but is lacking in important ways for me to use it right now. I'm sure they'll get things moving along nicely in the next few releases.Linux Mint + IceWM Registered: #371367 New Members: click here

Perhaps you don't know, but chrome and chromium already have firefox-like add-ons available. Of course not all of them, but quite many, I think. And better yet, you don't need to restart the browser after you install them.

Disrupting lives: how tech is changing us
When it comes to technology changing our lives and revolutionizing the way we do things the examples are endless – from steam engines to email to a connected home. But according to pixelbug's Dany Eid and Ericsson's Jean-Luc Scherer these changes can also be intimidating. in 2013 a comprehensive report from McKinsey Global Institute called Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy identified 12 technologies that could drive radical economic change in the coming years. They estimated the total value to be in the region of $14-33 billion and include, among others, cloud, genomics, the Internet of Things, mobile internet and advanced robotics. (Image via McKinsey) To delve deeper into these topics, Wamda met with Eid, founder and CEO of augmented-reality app developing company pixelbug,…

1. Main Forum Rules
Follow them: http://www.serebiiforums.com/newforums/rules.html
2. Club Help Section
If you're having trouble: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=112524
One exception: The only time we will give you permission to bump the club is if it is not on the first page of the club section when it has first been approved and has 0 replies. Any time other than that we do not give you permission to bump.
3. Making A Club
A. A few things to think of before making a club:
Is there already a club like it?
Will people be interested in it?
Will it be active?
What will the other members and I do in it?
Whats the purpose of the club?
If there already is a club like it, or if it doesn't satisfy the other questions, the club will be deleted.
B. Club approval
Post your thread and it will be sent to the moderation queue, where it will either be approved or disaproved by a moderator. Be warned that this could take up to a day (or maybe two) so do NOT post multiple thread wondering 'why its not showing up' because they will not appear straight away. Also, please do not PM moderators asking why it isn't showing up. It either hasn't been attended to yet, and is still in the moderation queue, or it has been deleted because it didn't follow one or more of the other club rules.
BE SURE TO EXPLAIN YOUR FIRST POST. Don't create a club with only one sentence or it will not show up.
Examples: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=129500
More information about the moderation queue:
For a sum up, its basically a new way of managing what clubs are approved or unapproved. You post a thread and it goes into a moderation queue to await validation. This means that there is no need for you to sent approval request PMs anymore. Just post your thread as you would in any other forum and it will be sent to the moderation queue. Don't worry if your thread doesn't show up straight away, because it just means it hasn't been approved or disapproved yet. If your thread has not appeared within a day (or perhaps two) then your club has either been disapproved or the thread did not go through, but its more likely to be the first. So remember that there is no need to send request PMs anymore, just read the rules and post your thread. If you read the rules properly, then there would be no need for your club to be disaproved, so please read the rules before you post a thread.
C. No One Pokemon Clubs
For example, you cant make an Oddish club. However you could make one for Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, and Bellossom.
D. No Team Clubs
This does not mean Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua/Snagem/any other real teams. However no fake teams are allowed such as Team Sky or Dark.
E. Clubs With No Owner
If a club owner hasnt been on the forum for a while (a month or so) without warning, you may request to have their club closed so you can restart it, provided you have reached general agreement with the majority of the active members in the club.
F. Club Banners
For any banners in your club you must give credit in the first post next to the banner. And you must state if members have to give credit in their sig if the banner creator requires it.
G. Post Your Thread Once
Do not post your thread multiple times. It may take up to one or two days for your club to appear after you post it.
H. First Post Of Clubs
Always read the first post before asking to join. Follow any rules listed in it.
4. Reporting A Club
A. How To Report
Use the report button or PM ones of the clubs mods (Chelc , Sweet May , Eefi-chan ).
B. Report PMs
If you report through PM please send this form:
Club Name:
Club Link:
C. Mini-modding
Report the post/thread/whatever, dont reply to it. This includes posting in a club asking if its approved.
5. Picture Credit
If you post a pic from a site you must give credit to the site. Unless they dont require credit. If the site doesnt mention whether it requires credit or not, assume that it does.
6. Have Fun
Clubs are for people interested in the same thing to talk about it. So make some friends and enjoy yourself. ^_^

I know its not the "moral" thing, but I hope somebody agrees with me and puts him through that same kind of physical violence, or even worse. What a worthless piece of fucking ****.
Meanwhile, Domino's Pizza in Rockport said it had received more than 20 online orders and nine phone orders for pizza to be delivered to the judge's home address.
"We actually made and delivered two pizzas before we caught on last night," said store manager Sean Hunt. "No one was answering the door or the phone calls at that address... I've worked here for a little over a year, and I've never seen anything like this happen."

Unfortunately, that's the only form of piping hot justice that you can order over the phone.

Did anyone else get the impression that there was something vaguely sexualized to this beating too? I mean I know the butt has to be exposed in order to beat it, but he was insisting she 'bend over the bed'. Well, I guess for that kindof personality, those two things aren't far apart.

It was in the back of my head but I didn't even want to give consideration to it. I'd hope that his insistence on her bending over was more about submitting to the punishment.
The point was moot though when he began beating her legs with the belt; unlike a swat on the backside, the legs aren't generally covered with a lot of fat (which is the reason/justification for swatting the backside in the first place). I'm sure in this guy's mind, he was justified in his actions because she wasn't complying.
So obviously Judge Adams subscribes to the 1990's LAPD Parenting Method, if nothing else (beat them into compliance). Because I really don't want to consider it any further... I'm at my limit of patience for the human race for the rest of the day.

I wonder...
there are so many other correlated behaviours to this sort of violence. I wonder how the pets and the wife go in terms of treatment...the way she is complicit in it is disturbing, although who knows what the power dynamics are in that family.
Domestic violence, sexual abuse they have no socio-economic barriers, that's for sure.
