Do you ever wonder what motivates people to parade their disasters in the media? Do they know who the father is? Do not worry, DNA tests in front of the nation are available, drag your dirty washing in to the public eye and preserve the whole debacle on DVD for future generations. You think your daughter might have been sleeping with your fella? Jerry Springer and Jeremy Kyle direct discussions to unveil the "truth", to "get to the bottom of it". A lie detector test will be definitive. I despair, to answer the question as to WHY anyone would choose this route to resolution is beyond me, but it is their decision.
Decisions are there to empower us as individuals, and as society as a whole. By electing to watch these programmes we choose to promote digital-circus of talk show telly. Do I choose to tune in? Do I hell! The "guest", might be treated to an all expenses trip to the filming location, their choice to attend, but their dignity is then invested infamy. *
Alas, I have become distracted from my aim of appreciation, however distractions can be worthy of gratitude.
Discussions and debates distracted me for hours during my time as a student. Did we think that "for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction", do we? Harking back to the degree days is a delight. During my studies, I was often thankful for the delete button, the option to edit to completely withdraw words, I am still appreciative of this. (* deleted, diatribe avoided)
Do you recall a time when you thought if only the delete button was available for the spoken word. We cannot edit our conversations after the fact and this is why I am grateful for dignity. Day to day if we can guard the dignity of others in our actions and deeds, then the delete button might not be required.
During the writing of this post, I dozed a little. Do accept my apologies. D day on the A to Z challenge did not cover many things that were previously thought of, my dog should have had a huge mention in this post, however his letter will come. The double-entendre, did not make the cut and nor did doughnuts.
At this moment I am simply thankful for the digestive biscuit with my cup of tea, that I made the deadline and posted my D before my next doze.

Oh woe is me… I moaned to everyone on Tuesday …I had to go to Glass Brasserie at Sydney's Hilton Hotel yesterday for Australia's Wine List of the Year Awards. It sounds glamorous, but it was a bit stressful … I was social media-ing it for the drinks association and didn't get the chance to sip ANY of the sexy wines being served up.
Geez I'm a wanker sometimes. Poor Princess Me.
Life got even harder yesterday when I had to tough it out at the 2016 Sydney Royal Wine Show Trophy Winners Lunch.
It was absolute hell having to sample all the wines that won trophys at the Sydney Royal Wine Show, totally nightmarish.
Oh, and they were paired with Champion and Gold Medallist produce from Sydney Royal Fine Food and Cheese & Dairy Produce Shows.
Oh, and it was held at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Oh, and I was surrounded by the Who's Who of the Australian wine industry.
I'm really not sure how much more of this harrowing new job I can take …
The only real downside on both occasions is that I've been on mum duty afterwards. I mean, I love being on mum duty normally, but it kinda gets in the way of sampling the produce.
I had to decorously sip all the wines instead of giving them a red hot go. They were DELICIOUS so it was very tricky showing restraint.
The NV Morris Wines Old Premium Rare Liqueur Topaque is a particular sentimental favourite, as my ex-husband's parents live in Albury and I've spent many the happy afternoon wine tasting in the area.
I had to leave yesterday's festivities early – which looked like they were going to continue for a VERY long time – to take the youngest to netball and the eldest to music lessons.
Back to the real world.
Here are some happy snaps from my day:
Song of the day: Linda Ronstadt "Poor, poor pitiful me"

On this day 32 years ago–October 2, 1981–I became a Mom for the first time. My son, Andrew James, entered the world on that morning at the Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, New Hampshire.
In attendance at the birth were my mother, due to her nursing career there at LRGH, along with other medical staff. My Dad waited nearby, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his first grandchild. Noticeably absent was my son's father–essentially only a "sperm donor" because the marriage only lasted a few months, during which time he denied even being responsible for my pregnancy, even as he engaged in an affair with another woman.
Negatives aside…it was an amazing experience to see that little one who had taken up residence in my womb for nine months, finally come forth. Our circumstances at the time were less than ideal, since I was a divorced single mother living at home with my parents only about a year and a half after graduating from college with big hopes and dreams. Yet, together, we gave little Andy the loving family and nurturing home environment every child deserves.
Dad/Grampy trying to put socks on Andy's feet!
Within a couple years, I met and married my second husband, who legally adopted then 2-year-old Andy, and with whom I eventually had three daughters. Our life together was certainly not perfect, but we did our best to raise our family in a loving environment by God's principles, even though our marriage ended after about 20 years together.
In spite of hardships, Andrew has become a multi-talented, creative individual — creativity seems to run in the family! He picked up some of his Grampy's artistic talent in painting. Andrew also engages in creative photography and graphic design; he writes and is a published author; and he has become quite the musician and rap artist as well.
On February 11, 2006, I was blessed to have Andrew accompany me and "present" me to Dave at our small family-and-friends wedding at Dave's father's and step-mom's house.
Fast forward to today, on Andrew's 32nd birthday, and he lives much too far away on the other side of the country from Maine, in New Mexico!
I'm reminded of the poem:
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow
So quiet down, cobwebs
Dust, go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep. ~~ Anonymous
I would encourage all you parents of little ones–even if your circumstances are less than ideal–enjoy your children while you can, because they do indeed grow up much too fast and then they're involved in lives of their own, sometimes VERY far away.
Love you and miss you, my son! Happy 32nd Birthday!!
How about you readers? Do you have young children still at home, or are you also an "empty nester" with all the children grown and out of the house?

What is enlightenment? I asked Adyashanti this question once and he said "It is being undivided." Unfortunately, many people imagine enlightenment to be a state of having magic powers, continual bliss, and connection with other-dimensional beings. Some think of it as genius or having omniscience. I remember being told as a child that God knew everything and was everywhere, and this impression seems to be the way some look at enlightenment – as if it means becoming all-knowing, all-powerful, having control over everything. This would be an exciting possibility for an ego, and may encourage some people to seek enlightenment who are not well suited to it.
But what does it mean to be undivided? Could enlightenment or awakening to the Truth of our real nature have a result as simple as this? The ego's way of being undivided might consider it as being one-pointed, determined and set in one way of looking at things, never allowing facts or feelings, or the needs of others to interfere with your set direction. But that is being narrowly one-sided, rather than living the undivided way of an awakened mind and heart.
I believe we come into life undivided. It is the state of openness to whatever arises. It is availability. It is a part of our cellular structure that naturally allows anything to happen. It is always within you but from your first experiences of pain or sorrow, and your first lessons of separation and identity, you formed a shell around this openness and became a character with opinions, demands, emotional upheavals and drives that you think of us as "me". This "me" has fear and resistance to many aspects of the human experience and generates many problems and thoughts in a life. Of course this "me" can have lots of accomplishments and feel love and joy and be a positive force in the world as well. These options are usually thought of as free will – but since in the early years there is so much conditioning and shaping of identity – positive and negative — it is questionable just how free you are.
When a person's True Nature awakens there is a sense within the body/mind of no boundary or border to the energy of the heart and mind, no separation from either form or space, and no argument with life as it is. We might call this clarity. Some have called it radiance. This openness into life as it is can be felt viscerally, at the core. It feels as if all identification with that "me" has fallen away and what remains is clear, at peace, sometimes kinestically flooded with love or bliss. This realization may look like an experience but it is more of a knowing of what always was and will be, even before birth, and after death.
There is no division in the True Nature. All division comes from the mind's ideas about protection and separation. When events in your life seem threatening this need to create safety is a genuine response of the body and mind. The dimension we live in as humans has definite boundaries. We cannot fly off cliffs or stand in the middle of the highway and survive. We must have water and food and protection from the elements. As infants we need others to care for us and as emotional beings we crave love and community. Enlightenment does not remove these patterns that are part of our human imprinting. We are energies dancing as form and the form has specific limitations that the spirit does not
This is why no matter how deeply you have felt your True Nature you may at times have medical problems, you may sense waves of the suffering in others, you can feel loss as loved ones pass, and you may still have patterns of conditioning arise to be met and released. The difference is that when undivided you can have compassion for or perhaps even laugh at your human vulnerabilities because there is no one there who cares to judge them. And when the events in the world are troubling, you understand that human form by its limitations produces troubles and challenges, and if you feel an inclination to engage you can do it without attachment to results or acquiring new karmas (conditioning) to be worked through (the true meaning of karma yoga). You are unbounded formless consciousness living within the patterns and boundaries of energetic forms, imprinted with the uniqueness of your conditioning and DNA, and thus you are One and Undivided.

| 15.4°C Belfast
He came all the way from Russia, but it proved a wasted and very expensive trip for Alexey Lukyanuk.
The leader of the European championship is out of the Circuit of Ireland even before arriving for tomorrow evening's start in Lisburn, his £250,000 Ford Fiesta wrecked in an accident while testing for the rally.
The Russian crashed heavily during a pre-rally test session on Monday, and although he and co-driver Alexey Arnautov suffered only scrapes and bruises, Lukyanuk's Fiesta R5 was severely damaged and can't be repaired in time.
He had chosen not to take part in the official shakedown test stage in Co Monaghan on Sunday and Monday and instead made his own arrangements to test privately further south. It turned out to be a bad mistake.
But his withdrawal is also a blow to the Circuit, with rally director Bobby Willis describing it as "unfortunate".
"Alexey is a real crowd favourite and we are sorry he is not going to be able to start," said Willis. "We don't know why he decided to test privately instead of coming to the official shakedown stage like most other drivers, but the consequences have been unfortunate. But at least the two of them are unhurt, although the only communication we have had with the team is to say they won't be starting the rally."
Affectionately branded "the Mad Russian" by rally favourite Craig Breen, Lukyanuk is one of the most spectacular drivers in the ERC series, a real hard charger who has won the Colin McRae Flat Out Trophy more times than any other driver. From St Petersburg, he is also the only one to have won a round of the series in a production car, steering a Mitsubishi Lancer to victory in Estonia last year.
And he won the Rally du Valais in Switzerland at the end of 2015 which, added to his Rally Islas Canarias last month, gave him back-to-back victories heading to Ireland.
Sadly, the sequence has now come to a premature end and Lukyanuk is headed back to Russia.

Our goal was to form a rowing club as an opportunity for underserved youth to develop teamwork, sportsmanship commitment
Somerville, MA (PRWEB) September 16, 2008
Gentle Giant Moving Company, (http://www.gentlegiant.com) has received an award as Innovation Partner of the Year from the Boston Business Journal in recognition for its philanthropic partnership with Gentle Giant Rowing Club (GGRC). The moving company and the independently-operated rowing club were featured honorees at the third annual 2008 Corporate Philanthropy and Citizenship Summit on Friday, September 5.
The Partner of the Year awards recognize companies who have demonstrated innovation and development of best practices in specific partnerships with non-profits. Gentle Giant Moving Company's partnership with GGRC began in 2002 when the company donated the startup funding to launch the club that year; the club also adopted the company name as its own. Through the Gentle Giant Charitable Foundation, the company continues to provide nearly half the rowing club's funds each year for boats, equipment, coaching wages, program fees, and other materials. Larry O'Toole, president of Gentle Giant Moving Company, also serves actively on GGRC's Board of Directors, and employees from the company participate in the rowing club's adult programs and fundraising events.
"This is the first time Gentle Giant has been recognized at such an esteemed level for our charitable involvements," said O'Toole. "I could not be happier that we can share this honor with the Gentle Giant Rowing Club."
Gentle Giant Moving Company states that its charitable mission is to support youth development through athletics and education. This mission is tightly connected to the company's business purpose of creating career opportunities for motivated and capable employees. The company believes its employees are a population of athletes unto themselves as a result of the physically demanding work they carry out every day, year-round. Gentle Giant has many former college athletes and recreational rowers within the organization and has employed more than 400 rowers in its 28 year history.
"Our goal was to form a rowing club as an opportunity for underserved youth to develop teamwork, sportsmanship commitment," said Al Gehant, cofounder of Gentle Giant Rowing Club. "Gentle Giant Moving Company shares the same vision, and we're very fortunate to have them as a partner." Gehant and his cofounder Gracio Garcia, both Northeastern University Crew Team alums like O'Toole, continue to oversee all operations for GGRC.
GGRC's youth programs have attracted about 100 teens from around Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Everett, Malden, Medford, and Somerville, and other cities and towns. More than 100 adult members have also joined, including employees of the moving company.
Through Gentle Giant Charitable Foundation donations, volunteer commitments, and workplace opportunities, Gentle Giant Moving Company supports other charities that have been recognized by the Partnership Award program, including Everybody Wins! Metro Boston, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless, and YearUp.

|First Appearance

|Latest Appearance
|Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Monkey Mines is the second world of Donkey Kong Country. As the name suggests, it contains cave stages with tunnels and Mine Carts. Monkey Mines also appears to be an old, ancient relic-like area of Donkey Kong Island, given the background of the last stage of the world and the old Kremling illustrations in the temple levels. The boss of Monkey Mines is Master Necky.

Backward: Kongo Jungle
Forward: Vine Valley
Winky's Walkway
- See also: Winky's Walkway
Winky's Walkway is the first stage of Monkey Mines, and the first mine stage in Donkey Kong Country. It is named after Winky, the frog Animal Buddy, who also makes his debut here. Winky appears in an Animal Crate in the early portion of the stage, beyond the first series of walkways. Winky is best used to reach Bananas, K-O-N-G Letters, and even Bonus Stages. This stage also contains an odd series of walkways riddled with Kritters, Gnawties, and a few Neckies.
Mine Cart Carnage
- See also: Mine Cart Carnage
Mine Cart Carnage is the second stage in Monkey Mines. It is the first Mine Cart stage of Donkey Kong Country, and will have players riding an unstoppable Mine Cart through a long series of tracks, most of which are torn apart. Several mine carts will also be found abandoned here as well; they act as an obstacle for Donkey and Diddy Kong. There are also a few Krashes. A famous shortcut involves the Kongs jumping over the first Blast Barrel at the beginning of the stage, falling to the left into a Warp Barrel.
Bouncy Bonanza
- See also: Bouncy Bonanza
Bouncy Bonanza is the third stage of Monkey Mines. As the name implies, there are several bouncy rubber Tires throughout the stage. Kritters are also present; some, like the Blue Kritter, possess a good jumping ability. This makes them annoying, considering that this is a cave stage where the ceiling is limited. Winky appears later in the stage.
Stop & Go Station
- See also: Stop & Go Station
This is the fourth stage of Monkey Mines. In this stage, the Kongs must pass the invulnerable Rockkrocs by hitting the Stop & Go Barrels; when the Barrels are switched to 'Stop,' the screen will become red, and the Rockkrocs will cease movement. The opposite happens when the Barrels are switched to 'Go.' Rockkroc makes his only appearance in the whole game. Klaptraps also make their debut appearance as well. A famous shortcut can be done by going back towards the entrance at the beginning of the stage, skipping a large portion of the stage.
In the GBA version, Rockkrocs can be defeated be DK's ground slap.
Millstone Mayhem
- See also: Millstone Mayhem
A temple-based ruins stage, Millstone Mayhem is the final stage of Monkey Mines. Krushas make their appearance as the very first enemies of the stage, and can be defeated by throwing a TNT Barrel at them or having Donkey Kong jump on them. Diddy Kong cannot defeat the Krushas by jumping due to his small size. Both Kongs cannot defeat Krushas with their roll/cartwheel attack. Millstone Mayhem is a rather long stage, with Gwanties, Blue Kritters, and Slippas. Winky appears midway through the stage if the Kongs can find him.
Necky's Nuts
- See also: Master Necky
The boss of Monkey Mines is Master Necky. To defeat Master Necky, dodge the nuts he spits out, and use the rubber Tire to jump on his head.
- In the original SNES version, Candy's Save Point is accessible after clearing Stop & Go Station and before going to Millstone Mayhem. In the remakes, it is accessible only after clearing Millstone Mayhem and shortly before entering the boss battle with Master Necky.

The Center currently supports five working groups that serve to bring students and faculty together in an intellectual community beyond the classroom. Working Groups are goal-oriented, thematic and work collaboratively towards things like exhibitions, publications, and speaker series. Groups are open to faculty and graduate students. See below for further information on each group, and to contact conveners.
Be sure to keep up to date on working group meetings and events by subscribing to our website and following us on Twitter @UDMatCult!
Media Old and New (current)
Conveners: Jason Hill, Department of Art History and
Sarah Wasserman, Department of English
The Media Old and New working group brings together scholars from an array of disciplines with interests in the materiality of media. From the phonograph to the photograph; the typewriter to the tweet: this group considers medium specificity as a crucial issue productively viewed through the lens of material culture studies. We are especially interested in how contemporary media may be historicized and how historical media can be understood in light of contemporary developments. Our group also considers which forms of pedagogy can engage media not only as conceptual forms but as material ones and how the "hands-on" dimensions of media studies can be best practiced in research and in the classroom.
2018-2019 Lecture Program:
Lecture by Professor Catherine Gallagher (Berkeley)

ThingStor (current)
Convener: Martin Brückner, Department of English
ThingStor is intended to become an interactive database that will enable students and scholars to recognize and better understand the form and function of material objects referenced in the works of literature and the visual arts. Currently, a team consisting of members from the Department of English, Computer Science, and the University of Delaware Library is building a prototype entitled "American Literary Things" that will illustrate objects ranging from early references to the "Continental Dollar" or the "London Doll" to later ones such as the "Bowie knife" or the "Shirley Temple cup" cited in Toni Morrison's novel The Bluest Eye.
ThingStor working group members will help build this prototype into a first-rate interdisciplinary searchable archive while also gaining skills to help you design your own featured project involving objects significant in the media central to your respective disciplines. More importantly, the ThingStor working group is intended to offer you the opportunity to connect your research on objects beyond the archive to critical scholarship, publishing venues, public engagement projects, and much more.
Contact Martin Brückner at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.
Object Fight Club: The Methods in Material Culture Graduate Student Working Group (previously)
Conveners: MIchael Doss, Department of English
victoria sunnergren, Department of art history
The Methods in Material Culture working group will be facilitated by and for grad students to encourage communication across departments, and exchange ideas about research methods. The primary goal of the group is two-fold: first, to build a sense of community around material culture studies here at UD, and second, to equip attendees with a toolbox of research methods drawn from across the disciplines. We want to celebrate UD's leadership in material culture studies and support the success of our collective research efforts.
Past Events/Meetings:
- Object study workshop at Winterthur View/Print Flyer Here!
- Field study in Historic New Castle, Delaware View/Print Flyer Here!
Contact Michael Doss at email@example.com or Victoria Sunnergren at firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.
Theory, Method, and Pedagogy (previously)
Convener: Julian Yates, Department of English
The working group in Theory / Method / Pedagogy serves as the venue for a multi-disciplinary conversation about the objects of material culture studies; how they are configured and approached by different disciplines; how they orient our various curricular offerings (undergraduate and graduate level); and what resources they offer us for collaborative research and teaching both in the classroom and the field. In Fall 2016, the group will embark on a series of shared readings and discussion of questions of method and pedagogy.
Contact Julian Yates at email@example.com for further information.
Ese'Eja (previously)
Conveners: Jon Cox, Department of Art and
Monica Dominguez-Torres, Department of Art History
The Ese'Eja working group collaborates with the Ese'Eja community in the Peruvian Amazon–a foraging society known in their own language as "The True People"–in a cultural mapping project that seeks to document their lifestyle, create a community "plan de vida," and implement educational programs for their schools and surrounding communities. Funded by the National Geographic Genographic Legacy Fund, UD's Interdisciplinary Humanities Research Center, the Institute for Global Studies and the Office of Undergraduate Research and Experiential Learning, the overall goal of the cultural mapping project is to help community members to strengthen their sense of identity and to raise international awareness about the issues this indigenous society faces nowadays. Members from the UD team–including students and faculty from various disciplines–have traveled to Peru to work alongside Ese'Eja elders to document their knowledge of the land, traditional practices and rituals that are at risk of vanishing. An important outcome of this project is a public exhibition at the University of Delaware campus featuring photos, videos, and objects gathered during these field trips.

There is a lot that goes into training. "Studying," mental, emotional, and physical aspects. Since my first half marathon April 16, 2011 I have been in maintenance mode trying to keep my fitness and improve it by strength training and yoga. I did strength training 2-3x/week and yoga only once a week. Granted, it was p90x yoga, not just a casual 30 minute session. The yoga tapered off after about a month because I found an hour and a half to be too much after work. I continued strength training and now after finishing week 1 of marathon training, I can say that it has definitely paid off.
My knee pain is gone, even after an 8 mile long run. I knew I needed to strengthen my quads, hips and supporting muscles, so going to Group Power (aka Body Pump) a couple of times a week helped me achieve this. I also improved my balance/core/hips by balancing on the Bosu Ball.
My physical therapist/RD friend who is SUPER knowledgeable told me about it and also cautioned me not to overdo it. When I started, I could literally balance for only 5 seconds. No Joke. That is not a typo. I can now balance on it for an easy 1 and a half minutes. I can feel all my hip muscles working to support myself and that too has been a big help with relieving hip pain and running hills.
Also during this time I was trying to decide on a training plan. After reading tons of runner's forums and doing my own research online, I decided on one of Hal Higdon's 18 week marathon plans. It is designed to get you to the starting line injury-free and successfully complete your marathon. I am all for both of those things, so that's how I decided to go with it. I could also still do long runs on Saturdays, incorporate cross-training on Sunday, with Monday and Friday and complete rest days. Since it's my first marathon, there's really no time goal. Sure, I would love to make it in less than 4 hours but I'm betting it's not going to happen, at least not for this marathon. Not because I'm pessimistic or don't believe in myself, but because that's not a reasonable goal for a first marathon despite my half marathon time being 1:56:49.
My training route for the half marathon looks completely different now that it is summer! I was primarily running in Feb-March where all the trees were dead but now it is full of leaves and life. It really helps that it is mostly shaded, even completely shaded in parts, so even though it was 74 degrees and 93% humidity this morning, it was bearable.
I'm hoping to do either yoga or cycling tomorrow for my cross-training day. I didn't do strength training this past week but I think it could be doable now that I have one week under my belt and can see how the days are laid out.
One thing I don't have, but need, is a way to stay hydrated during my long runs in the heat and humidity. My next running purchase is going to be a fuel belt. I have been debating a fuel belt vs. a hydration backpack but again, from reading reviews and forums it seems the belt will work best for me. I'll keep you posted on that though! So, this marks the end of week 1 of marathon training. I had strong runs during the week and a GREAT 8 mile run today. Now I'm off to make black bean brownies!
Does anyone have experience or preference with hydration belts or backpacks during long runs?

Top 3 Business Opportunity Leads List Building Strategies
Building your business opportunity leads list starts from simply learning marketing. When most people market a website online, they market a landing page that simply displays information. This is not just a great way to lose a lot of good leads and prospects; it's a fantastic way to lose a lot of marketing dollars.
When most visitors land on a landing webpage, they bounce off. It can simply be because they are not ready to buy now or like in most cast cases; it's harder to trust a webpage on the same day. This is yet another reason to market only landing pages that capture leads and prospects' contact information into your business opportunity leads list.
When your marketing creative attracts a prospect to a landing page, the teaser information on the page continues to pique their interest as a continuation of the job that your advertising creative did. This time, you should be offering even more valuable information for free if they enter their contact information.
Once a prospect opts in to a form on your landing page, they automatically receive the promised valuable information in their email inbox. This is made possible by a marketing tool called autoresponder, which also maintains a database of your business opportunity leads list. The autoresponder also automatically follows up with your prospect by email for as long as you want to set.
At press time, I've generated over 200,000 leads strictly online using this same method and built a business opportunity leads list of 100,000+ into my autoresponder. Every time I add another lead to my list, it approximately turns to another $1.00 or more added to my monthly residual income on an average.
It all starts with marketing. Most people understand that building a business requires marketing. I have seen training that emphasize networking and working harder and harder for network marketers. Most training does not emphasize marketing.

WordPress v2.7 uses an older version of Magpie RSS (v0.51) which has some bugs that may prevent your RSS feed displaying in your WordPress blog/theme.
I happen to use KB Advanced RSS Widget, on the IrelandOffline site, but I believe most RSS widgets/plugins for WordPress use.
The issue in my case, was a a simple apostrophe, on a vBulletin forum, being converted to a fancy apostrophe (character \x92).
The most recent Magpie RSS version (v0.72 at time of writing) handles this OK. So to update your WordPress installation to use this most recent release of Magpie RSS, do the following:
- Download Magpie RSS from here.
- Extract the contents, and rename/copy
- Copy that new
rss.phpfile, all the
*.incfiles, the
extlibdirectory, and
scriptsdirectory to the directory
wp-includeswithin your WordPress base install directory.
- Make sure file and directory permissions are OK (usually 644 and 755, respectively). Also make sure you pass on the license information, for Magpie RSS, if required to do so!
Bear in mind that this might affect future WordPress updates, or exploit checking (because you've modified the base
rss.php installed).

Automatic email printing
Ive been looking for a way to automatically print emails that i get via fetchmail that all have a certain string in the subject.
So far what i have patched together is fetchmail retrieves the emails via pop3. The email server deletes them once downloaded. and they are sent to a mail spool file in /var/mail/ via sendmail.
What i think needs to be done is between fetchmail and sendmail procmail should be used to sort the emails. Then i would guess that procmail should move the correct emails to a directory that then gets printed.
The reason for this is I have a few companies that send emails to my address and i need/want hard copies of the mail. Right now im sorting them manually every few days and printing them in batch.
It would be great if someone could tell me how to get procmail intergrated because i have no idea how to. I have looked at ~10 different pages that show to to do this in 10 different ways.

If like me you have straight and sometimes lifeless looking hair, you might be forgiven for dreaming of a having a head full of perfectly formed, glossy and sexy curls, or at the very least having loose beach waves that will stay in place for the whole day. I never really thought it would be possible, but I now have a secret weapon at my disposal, the Babyliss Curl Secret. I'm very excited to share my review with you and hope you'll find it useful.
To give you a little bit of background on my situation, my history with hair styling is a bit and misses, but mostly miss. I have been lucky enough to have worked with many hairstylists and been privy to professional advice, tips and tricks, as well as being in a position to try out many new gadgets which should have made me a hairstyling whiz. However, my ability to style my own hair is woefully lacking. I know exactly what I should be doing, but I can't seem to put the theory into practice.
I've tried nearly every available hair curler on the market, from wands, tongs, heated rollers, ceramic curlers and GHD. Unfortunately, the result has nearly always been a disappointing failure; I just couldn't get it right.
Often one side of my hair looked great and the other side looked like a complete dogs dinner, the hair strands where ridged or the ends just never looked right, the curls never made it past lunchtime and nearly every attempt resulted in a minor burn to my hands, scalp or ears, all from using the device badly.
My saving grace is that thankfully I have yet to completely burn off a strand of hair during one of my doomed attempts at curling. Sadly this was my first thought when I heard about the Babyliss automatic curler, but as it turns out, my concerns were completely unfounded, as you'll discover in this review.
Fear and unfounded prejudice aside, I can hold my hand up and say that the Babyliss Curl Secret is, without a doubt, the most capable curling device I have ever used. In the rest of this article I'll tell you about my experiences using this product, how to use it successfully, some tips and tricks I've picked up and anything else I think is worth mentioning.
The Curl Secret Review
The Babyliss Curl Secret is the consumer version and name given to the professional tool from the same brand, the Perfect Curl. The clever technology automatically draws in strands of hair into its ceramic chamber and heats it to the perfect temperature and from every angle in order to create a flawless curl. Once the process has completed simply release the hair and you'll end up with a beautiful curl.
Even though the hair seems to be sucked up into the device, the technology actually uses a specially designed catcher that winds the hair into the heated chamber, it's in this chamber that the hair is suspended and then heated from all sides.
This treatment technique is actually pretty interesting and is well worth knowing about, it's this method that allows the product to work so effectively. Rather than holding the hair against a barrel or against a heated plate under tension, the hair is free and unconstrained. This is far gentler on the hair, which is reflected in the curls and in how shiny your hair will look after treatment.
In only a few seconds, you'll have a stunning looking ringlet. So, depending on your hair type, length, thickness and all that stuff, in around 20 minute your hairstyle will be completed. One of the best features of this gadget is that it's an absolute breeze to use and the curls last far longer than they do when using hot rollers, curling wands or a straightening iron.
Babyliss Curl Secret Review
Even if you have no training or instructions you can literally just pick up the machine and get to work curling your hair, I'm a testament to how idiot-proof it really is. With two heat settings to pick from and three timer settings, you can quickly and easily create a range of types of curls, from defined ringlets to natural waves or even free-flowing loos beach waves.
Additionally, the Babyliss Curl Secret will automatically alternate the curling direction to give your hair a more natural look, it will also minimize frizz thanks to what they call the Ionic conditioning system which also prolongs how long the curls will stay in place, often changing into beautiful waves after a night's sleep.
I especially love how easy it is to do the back of my hair without any additional hassle and that it's all done very quickly.
How to use Babyliss Curl Secret
You might be one of those women that can use a straightening iron to easily achieve beautiful waves, but I have never been one to have much success with this method, I would invariably end up with ugly looking ridges where I started the curl. Using curling irons, I would have problems curling the end of my hair without creating a ridge.
As you might have guessed, I have no hair skills whatsoever and my only option if I ever wanted to curl my own hair was to use an automatic curler. It really is incredibly easy to use and it only takes a few seconds to create the flawless curl, which is not only strong and flexible but is also well defined.
The number one thing to remember when using the Babyliss Perfect Curl is to always position the barrel of the curler towards your hair. That means the heating chambers opening should always be angled to face you.
The second most important thing to remember is to ensure your hair is clean, free of tangles, straight and frizz free. Don't add anything to your hair other than maybe a heat protectant. DO NOT use any sort of styling products i.e. hairspray or mousse.
Getting started with the Perfect Curl is very straightforward. I'll normally start by sectioning my hair while the device heats up. You'll know when it's up to temperature when the light on the device stops flashing. As a safety feature it has a 20-minute sleep mode function, which means if you leave it idle for too long, it'll turn itself off and begin to cool down.
If you're like me you'll usually try to split your hair into three sections, consisting of two lateral sections and one back section, this works when I use a curling wand. When I was using the Curl Secret, I found it easier to work slightly differently, starting at the base of one side and gradually working my way backwards. I then reverse the process and start on the other side. It sounds more complicated than it actually is and shouldn't cause you any problems.
The curler allows for one of three predefined heat settings to be selected – 190c, 210 c and 230c. Additionally, there are three timer settings:
• 3 beeps which equate to 8 seconds and will create loose wavy hair.
• 4 beeps which equate to 10 seconds and will create soft flowing curls.
• 5 beeps which equate to 12 seconds and will create more defined curls.
You can adapt the heat settings to your hair type and to whatever look you're going for. For defined curls, use the 12 seconds setting and hold the hair in for longer, for loose waves, bring down the temperature setting or the time.
I would suggest that if you have dyed, fine or damaged hair that you try the lower heat settings first until you get an idea of what will work for you. If you have thicker hair feel free to start on the higher heat settings and see what your results are like. At the end of the day, experiment to see what works and what doesn't.
I personally use the 12-second setting to curl my hair, which means it'll take me on average 15 minutes to complete my hair for the day. I'll end up with defined curls that'll last the whole day and into the next. I'm trying not to sound too overenthusiastic, but the Perfect Curl is truly one the best curling methods I have ever used.
You'll receive an audible warning of four beeps in quick succession which is your signal that the curl has completed and it's time to release the handle and see what you've got. The only reason I mention this is because I've seen more than one youtube video which shows the user releasing their hair far too early.
If you attempt to curl any sections of your hair that are over 3cm thick or you haven't correctly placed your hair into the curlers barrel, then the built-in sensors will warn you to release your hair to try again, either by inserting less hair or by eliminating any frizz which is adding extra volume.
The warning sound is quite unmissable, it sounds angry, and it'll refuse to swirl your hair around the barrel chamber. The only thing you can do is release the handle, remove your hair and rectify the issue.
Once you've combed your hair, smoothed out any fuzz and perhaps placed the device a bit further down from your hair root, you'll probably find your hair is accepted on the second attempt.
If you've done everything correctly releasing the handle will allow your perfectly formed curl to be released from the chamber. While you wait for the ringlet to cool move onto the next strand of hair. When you've finished allowing around 5 minutes for your hair to cool down and settle into its newly curled state.
Avoid brushing your hair as this might straighten it slightly. The best thing to do is run your fingers through your hair in order to separate the curls. If you wish you may apply a bit of hair wax in order to define the ends and use a bit of hairspray to set the style.
Once you've got to this point you can branch out and complete your look with some gorgeous Updos, like a messy Knot Top for a sexy chic look, or a Curly Chignon. With the Curl Secret, you're really only limited to what your creativity and imagination can come up with, from braids to buns or anything else. I can almost guarantee that once you try the Curl Secret you'll love it as much as I do.
Babyliss Curl Secret Pro's
It's easy to use and quick – Depending on how thick your hair is and how long it is, it might take between 10 and 20 minutes to finish curling your hair. This can be reduced with practice until you become an expert at curling your own hair.
The curls last – The curls produced by this styler last far longer than any other device I've ever used, whether that's tongs, curling wands, GHD or ceramic curlers. He curls will easily last a whole day in near perfect condition and well into the next. Absolutely brilliant!
Automatic Alternating Curl Direction – One of the defining features of the Babyliss Curl Secret Pro is the fact that it automatically alternates the curl direction between each use. This makes the curls look far more natural.
Symmetrical Curls – As the Babyliss Curl Secret automatically applies the correct pressure, temperature and time, it means that even I can make my curls look symmetrical which is something I have consistently failed to do with any other method. Most of the time when I attempted to use curling irons on myself I would end up with huge variations in the curls produced. Some strands of hair would have tight curls, some would have loose curls, and some would be a mixture of the two. This would invariably look unnatural and make me wish I had the effort to make an appointment at the hairdressers. This is never an issue with the Babyliss Curl Secret.
Curling the back of your head is easy-peasy – When you need to curl the back of your head you'll start to see the benefits this automatic curler has over traditional curlers. Rather than trying to dislocate your arm trying to twist your hair strands into curls, all you'll need to do is part your hair down the centre and tilt your head so you can reach your hair from the side. This, of course, depends on how long your hair is. I have shoulder length hair and had no difficulties with this method.
As the resulting curls are largely unaffected by where you start the curling process, whether it's higher up near the root or at the tip, you can easily adjust your methods to whatever technique you find easier.
The Cons
Not the best choice for long hair – The Babyliss was not made to be used on very long hair, anything that goes past the bust is classed as long. Nevertheless, there are plenty of examples online of ladies with long hair using the Curl Perfect with long hair. The main issue is that you'll need to start the curling process further down and you may only end up with loose waves rather than curls. If that's what you're looking for then this automatic curler might still work for you.
Not great for already curly or wavy hair – If you're already blessed with wavy, coarse or curly hair, then I strongly recommend that you do not use the Curl Secret. The exception to this is if you always straighten your hair before trying to curl it.
The price is a little bit on the high side – The Babyliss is one of the more expensive curlers available. It'll cost you more than curling tongs, wavers and heated rollers, but it works and is very easy to use. There's a lot to be said for convenience and for something that actually works. For the amount of time and frustration saved I would say it's worth every penny.
Where to buy
The Babyliss Curl Secret is available from many high street stores, but I'm a fan of Amazon. The convenience of next day delivery is amazing and the returns policy is fantastic. I would rarely shop anywhere else for electronics.
Be wary of fakes and scams that are unfortunately available on some auction sites or in local listings.
To avoid any scams, follow the link and order your very own Curl Secret. Let me know what you think in the comment section below and I'll be sure to answer any of your questions.

Fun Stories
Compared while using the massive measurement RC drone, the apparent advantage of the extremely micro drone is the fact that it may be flown pretty much everywhere. In other words, the micro kinds assist outside and indoor flight. This is the primary reason why we elect the micro RC drone. Nevertheless, furthermore, it provides a weak issue that it doesn't help extended time flight. In this article, I'll demonstrate you a brand new solution. It is identified as Eachine E010 Mini. And this report includes 4 features, like overall look designs and exhibits, functionality, handheld remote control and battery.
Overall look Patterns and Shows
It truly is one variety of micro RC drone using a dimension of nine.5*9.5*5cm. Dependant upon the little dimension, it may be played indoor. Besides, the cylindrical rotor housings add significant sturdiness and develop considerably less noise. Four very carefully tuned electric enthusiasts give the RC drone clean overall performance that produces much less noise in comparison to usual quads that use propellers for thrust. With LED evening lights, it can help keep you getting in the correct course. Most of all, superb self-leveling would make it remaining on top of things quickly, even if it's your initially flight.
Typically, it supports the flight abilities of ascending, descending, forward, backward, still left sideward traveling, right sideward flying and 360 degrees rolling. Together with the headless method, any person can fly with tiny energy.
Furthermore, it supports one-key returning. With built-in positioning technique, it can automatically identify the handheld remote control. Just require to push the one-key return button, it can fly back to the distant control' s place.
Handheld remote control
It adopts two.4GHz handheld remote control know-how. As opposed with the low-frequency 2.7MHz wavelength, the 2.4GHz one usually takes the benefits of even further regulate distance and much more delicate reaction.
The three.7V 150mAh flight battery, integrated, can provide approximately 5-minutes of flight and may be conveniently recharged along with the incorporated USB charger. It desires about half-hour charging time. For nearly folks, the flight time is brief. For a result, I recommend for making ready spare batteries to lengthen the flight time.
