Allan Sherman's Last Laugh
A thorough new biography chronicles the rise and fall of the big, Jewish self-destructive funnyman
Songs that Sherman couldn't record, for fear of getting sued, went a step further. Introducing what he called his "Goldeneh Moments from Broadway," Sherman would explain that his Jewish versions of show tunes had been inspired by the thought, "What would have happened, how would it have been, if all of the great Broadway hits of the great Broadway shows had been written by Jewish people—which they were." The joke was that the great Jewish Broadway composers and lyricists had rarely, if ever, written shows about Jews. Sherman presided over the return of the repressed, turning the Gershwins' "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess into a Catskills lament, and deforming a song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific into a paean to smoked salmon. Bootleg recordings of some of these, including a whole set of songs from My Fair Lady, survive, but others remain only as lyrics in an appendix to Cohen's book, where they wait for some sympathetic young performer to rediscover them.
If that first album and those mostly unpublished Broadway parodies are what make Sherman worth remembering, what granted him immortality, for better or worse, were 174 seconds of goofball fun he called "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah! (A Letter From Camp)" and released as a single in the summer of 1963 and then on his third album in a year, My Son, the Nut. It was a massive hit, climbing to the #2 spot on the Billboard charts, inspiring sequels, a board game, and even a sitcom. Seemingly no talent show at any English-speaking summer camp since 1963 has ever omitted some localized version of this chestnut.
Because Cohen seems to have scoured high and low for every available snippet of Sherman's biographical record, it seems odd that he neglects to mention one crucial source of "Hello Muddah." Surely the song was inspired, as Cohen notes, by Sherman's son's unpleasant experience at a summer camp in upstate New York, but it seems equally likely that it was also Sherman's riff on a Tonight Show bit that Jack Paar called "Letters From Camp." In the memoir Penny Marshall published last year, she recalls that she and her brother Garry went to "a kosher camp for rich Jewish kids" despite being "neither," and that was whence her brother derived the material—including a joke about "Camp Nehoc" being "Cohen" spelled backward—that he later wrote for Paar. Which makes "Hello Muddah" an excellent illustration of the strange place Sherman occupied. When a Jew borrows material from a show that Lenny Bruce called "very goyish," maybe written by an Italian who got it at a kosher summer camp, and then turns it into a hit by adding a tune from Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" and singing it badly—that's America.
Given the variety of Sherman's achievements—he discovered Bill Cosby, voiced the Cat in the Hat, guest-hosted Johnny Carson's Tonight Show—the speed of his slide into oblivion is shocking. Sherman was never exactly a rock star, but he managed to flare out like one, killing himself over the course of a decade with food, drink, drugs, sex, and heartbreak. He walked out on his wife and kids. His creative output turned to junk. His Jewish material was outshined by the work of less self-destructive talents—Woody Allen, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks—and his nonsectarian material turned out to be mostly cliché, pap, or grumpiness. His later albums flopped, his TV appearances floundered, concert opportunities dried up, and the Broadway musical he wrote closed after four performances and a withering New York Times pan. Sherman died of a heart attack at 48, in 1973, with all his albums out of print.
Cohen details the attempts to rehabilitate Sherman's reputation with obituaries, Best Of collections, an Off-Broadway revue, etc. But the truth he won't quite acknowledge is that Sherman was never a great comic genius, and the form he worked in—the song parody—didn't give him a chance to be one. The reason people enjoy parody songs at all is that they're so accessible. When you hear a song over and over, you can't help but substitute new lyrics. A 3-year-old will do it. And can do it. That's why parody songs are a default gesture for lame radio DJs, high-school talent shows, and viral videos, which means that a song parodist has to be truly brilliant to escape being thought of as an excited 11-year-old.
A handful of "Weird Al" Yankovic parody songs clear this bar, and a few by Tom Lehrer. If Sherman was no better, he wasn't much worse. Along with a whole lot of forgettable silliness and a grim personal life, he left a few treasures worth preserving—and he did as much as anyone to bring Jews out of the American pop-culture closet. One can hope that, thanks to Cohen, his legacy is now safe.

I'll add the technique I use in Gimp, as it may have an equivalent in photoshop, plus turn this into a mini tutorial. The basic idea is to use a checkerboard grid with a layer mask, plus some strokes. This also assumes you do not want to cover any of the existing map.
1- Decide on the width you want for the lines, and enlarge the canvas to that size. i.e. for a 1200x800 map you might want a neatline 20 px wide, so make the canvas 1240x840, centering the layers.
2- decide on a the number of segments you want. Keep it close to the same proportion as the image size so they stay square. For example, say 31x21 in this case. Using an odd number will ensure the same colour in all four corners.
3 - create a new layer this size.
4 - filters->render->pattern->checkboard, and select a value of 1 (pixel) The checkerboard is in your fg/bg colour.
5 - scale the layer to the image size, with NO interpolation (this is the magic step that takes care of the nasty math!)
6 - use the move tool to place it over the whole image.
7 - create a selection bordering the area. Select->all, select->border 20 (the size we wanted)
8 - add a layer mask, using the selection.
9 - If you want to outline the checkboard in a different colour, use the select by colour tool and click on the colour, then stroke the selection with an even sized stroke.
10 - Turn the layer mask into a selection and stroke the selection again, using a 2x the width in step 9.
11 - add more borders, etc.
Here is the result of this:

Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon launched her office's third annual cell phone drive Tuesday, with proceeds benefiting local domestic violence shelters and programs.
Donated phones will be refurbished and sold through Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program, according to a statement from Simon's office. Phones that can't be refurbished will be recycled.
For every phone donated, Verizon will contribute $10—up to $10,000—to Illinois' domestic violence shelters, the statement reads. The wireless company's matching program will benefit the Cairo Women's Shelter in downstate Cairo and HOPE in northwest suburban Rochelle.
"These donated cell phones provide a valuable resource to survivors of domestic violence, many of whom don't have access to a cell phone, or fear using their phones," Simon said in the statement.
Cell phones are being accepted until Oct. 10 at the Lt. Governor's Chicago office, at 100 W. Randolph St.; the Lt. Governor's Springfield office, at 214 State Capitol; the Lt. Governor's Carbondale office, at 2801 W. Murphysboro Rd.; The John Marshall Law School, at 315 S. Plymouth Ct. in Chicago; Capaha Bank, at 2801 Sycamore St. in Cairo; and Huffman Insurance Agency, at 2035 Washington Ave. in Cairo.
For information about where they can be dropped off, donors can call Simon's office in Springfield at 217-558-3090.

- Great shirt, Awesome customer service by Jackie from Canada
- I ordered the flyte long sleeve in indigo this summer. I love the fit and feel of this shirt! There was a mix-up in the shipping and Oiselle promptly took care of the situation. It was a rare treat to have a business respond to my problem so quickly and courteously. (Posted on 9/12/14)
- Love the style but arms are too tight by Jenny
- I absolutely love the birds and the material of this shirt, but because I am a bit more muscular in the arms, the arms are tight and a bit constricting. I'm 5'7 and 130 pounds and the medium was big everywhere else except for the upper arms. I hope that Oiselle fixes this because then I would buy one in every color! (Posted on 5/22/14)
- love it! by m
- love this top as a running layer and it fits great (Posted on 5/17/14)
- Wicked shirt! by Runner mama
- I am in love with this shirt. Approx. 5'7 and 140 lbs and the medium fits great. Fitted but not restricting. The indigo is gorgeous and the style is sweet. Running in this top feels like flying! (Posted on 4/17/14)
- tight sleeves but beautiful fabric by SlowTriathlete
- I agree with the other reviewers that the sleeves/armpits/shoulders are too tight. I ordered a small, my usual size in all athletic clothes. The rest of the shirt fit fine--even a bit loose. The fabric is soft and the bird pattern is pretty. Wish the sleeves fit better. (Posted on 4/7/14)
- Perfect by JB
- Best birthday present! My best friend ordered this for me. My first thought when I saw this shirt in indigo is that it is beautiful. LOVE the birds. It also felt great. Once I put it on I loved the way it looked and felt, except for the arms... They weren't uncomfortable, but more fitted than I am used to. Then I ran a 10k in this shirt and it is now my favorite shirt. I am 5'7 and 135 pounds and I got the medium. Now since its getting hot, I just need to get the flyte tank! (Posted on 4/7/14)
- Love. by Erin
- I got the pink one in December and loved it so much that I bought the indigo. They are my favorite long-sleeve tees. They fit well--the fabric has a great stretch to it so it's very flattering, and the sleeves are the perfect length. I've worn it on windy days, transition days, and today even in a hail storm. If it's warm, the sleeves will actually stay up (not the case with many of my long-sleeves), and it's cold, it keeps me warm. These are worth every penny. I'm 5'6" and 130 (36B) and the medium fits well. And the birds--how I love the birds! (Posted on 3/25/14)
- I love this top! by Rungry Runner
- I have to say that I primarily bought this top in the Indigo color because it was cute. I may look like a hot mess in the office but I insist on being stylish when I run! This top was amazing! The material was super soft and not only was it cute but extremely functional as well. I never overheated (which I tend to do in long sleeved tops), the top never felt heavy and it wicked sweat wonderfully. Two thumbs up! I hope this shirt comes in more colors in the spring so I can buy ALL THE COLORS! (Posted on 1/30/14)
- I'd get one in ever color, if... by Jo
- ...there was a little more give in the arms holes. The fit is nice through the body, but I find the arms too constricting. I hope you revamp this top in the future!! (Posted on 1/29/14)
- runs small by jen
- I am and have been a swimmer for 2 1/2 decades. I have broad shoulders and built arms - nothing huge - but too huge for a small in this shirt. Luckily I bought a medium and found it to be snug, but fine if I am wearing it by itself or with a tank underneath. I am thinking I might exchange the small for a large so I can wear other shirts underneath. I am 5'8" and 145 lbs. (Posted on 1/26/14)

Three Obnoxious Teens with Super Powers in 'Chronicle' Trailer
Don't let my headline discourage you from watching the trailer for Chronicle. It looks like a cool super hero movie without the hero factor and minus the ridiculous costumes. What do you have left after that? Three obnoxious teenagers, all friends who somehow discover they possess super human abilities and use them for practical jokes. Only one day one of these gifted youngsters (pictured above) decides to take it a step further and does something extra naughty. This leads him down the path of villainy and darkness.
The only recognizable star in this soon to be under-the-radar indie from newcomer Josh Trank and written by Max Landis is Michael B. Jordan (not the greatest basketball player ever) who played the star high school quarterback in season 5 of NBC's Friday Night Lights. You can also see him in the upcoming WWII pilot movie Red Tails.
Here's the cool new trailer for Chronicle, which will be released in select theaters on February 3, 2012.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- Former world No. 2 Svetlana Kuznetsova stumbled to a three-set loss to unseeded Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands in the first round of the ASB Tennis Classic on Monday.
The two-time Grand Slam winner won the first set in a tight tiebreak but struggled in windy conditions and went down 7-6 (6), 6-2, 7-5.
Swirling winds on centre court at the Auckland Tennis Center contributed to more than 100 unforced errors, but 21-year-old Bertens, whose ranking climbed 120 places in 2012 to 63, kept her head to clinch one of her best wins.
Kuznetsova took an extended break after dropping the second set to receive treatment for a foot injury but couldn't arrest Bertens' momentum.
Pauline Parmentier of France ousted seventh-seeded American Christina McHale 6-4, 6-1 in an earlier upset.

From: Office of the Vice President for Administration
If it becomes necessary to close the Blacksburg campus because of inclement weather or an emergency, University Relations will use the following communications channels to announce the decision:
There may be times when the university initially decides to open based on the information available, but deteriorating weather conditions result in a decision for a delayed opening or for an all day closing. Employees, students, and visitors should continue to check the communications channels listed above for any changes.
For early closings, University Relations will notify the university community by VT Alerts. Once notified by University Relations, we ask that you follow your departmental or unit communication plan to ensure that each of your areas has received the information about the closing and they are taking steps to ensure that employees and students have been notified, including those who may be working or studying in labs, classrooms, or other areas of your buildings.
Off-campus offices, including the graduate centers, extension offices, and research stations, may operate on different closing schedules. Directors of off-campus facilities will use local media to communicate closing decisions to their employees and the public according to their emergency communications plans.
The university's video-conferencing classes will be cancelled when the Blacksburg campus is closed; with the exception of videoconference class lectures originating from the Falls Church, Northern Virginia Center.
In the event of a Blacksburg campus closing, Northern Virginia Center faculty will have the option to either record their lecture in their regularly scheduled time slot or request a makeup recording of the class at a later date. Requests to record during a Blacksburg campus closing will be handled at a reduced level of service by Video Broadcast Services staff on site at the Northern Virginia Center. Class recordings will be processed for video on demand and posted to the Video Broadcast Services servers within two business days after the Blacksburg campus resumes normal operations.
For purposes of tracking authorized closing leave and time worked, the following rules will apply unless otherwise stated in closing announcements.
Human Resources will provide specific instructions to department leave representatives following each authorized closing. All authorized closing leave and time worked must be recorded in the university's leave system.
Please encourage your employees to discuss their safety concerns about travel to and from work with their supervisors so that management will be aware of potential hazards that could prevent them from reaching their place of work in inclement weather. If employees find themselves in situations where they think their safety may be compromised, they should be strongly encouraged to make reasonable and rational choices when deciding whether to come to work or stay home. These decisions must, however, be communicated with the supervisor as soon as possible.
When the university remains open, non-emergency personnel, who anticipate transportation difficulties due to inclement weather conditions, may seek permission from supervisors to shorten their normal work shift through the use of accrued leave. Supervisors should make every effort to accommodate these requests.
Employees who have physical disabilities and limited mobility should discuss inclement weather and safety issues with their supervisors. This would include employees who have accommodations approved under Policy 4075 through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator, who use the handicapped parking tags, or who have otherwise communicated their needs to their supervisors.
Managers are encouraged to consider options, when appropriate and reasonable, through flexible scheduling of make-up time within the same work week or working from home (see Telecommuting Policy 4325). These decisions must be made on a case-by-case basis according to the needs of the department and the position of the employee.
Questions about accommodations should be directed to (540) 231‑4300.
Salaried employees who do not report to work as scheduled must charge time missed to annual, compensatory or overtime leave, sick, or leave without pay as appropriate, unless the supervisor can adjust the hours of work in the same workweek to make up for the missed hours. Supervisors may also allow employees up to a maximum of one hour past the start of their normal shift to report to work. Wage employees are compensated for hours worked.
Information on closings may be found in Policy 4305, Authorized Closings.
We have also provided two fact sheets for emergency and non-emergency personnel to remind supervisors and employees of the university's policy on closings and to facilitate departmental identification of employees identified as "emergency personnel." Please post these in accessible locations.
All salaried employees will receive an informational bulletin about authorized closings, but we ask that you ensure that your non-salaried (wage/adjunct) and student employees are also informed of your departmental communications procedures.
For more information about the authorized closing policy and procedures, contact the HR Service Center at 540-231-9331.
For information about whether the Blacksburg campus is open or closed, employees and campus visitors should check the following official communication channels:

The Art of Debate
How much do today's political debates really matter?
We've seen some interesting political debates in the past few weeks. President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney have had a first round, and Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan had their first and only debate. At the state level, we've seen two debates so far featuring Linda McMahon and Congressman Chris Murphy.
At this point in any presidential campaign, the same question gets asked: "Do debates really matter?" I mean, after a two-year campaign, what can we really learn? Can a gaffe really derail a candidate? Does the moderator matter?
Today, we kick off our political doubleheader with the Colin McEnroe Show as we talk about candidates sparring and "the art of debate." Does it matter if candidates tell the truth, or speak succinctly, or keep to a time limit? Would you rather hear the candidates go at it, of have it tightly moderated?
We'll also look at how high school debate teams prepare to face off, and how the skills they learn might go beyond debate itself.
Joining us in studio, along with Colin McEnroe, we have Dennis House of WFSB and Kathy Lynch, head of the Kingswood-Oxford school's debate team. By phone, we are joined by Aaon Zelinsky, editor of The Presidential Debate Blog.

Kentucky State Police Frankfort Post 2012 Shop with a Trooper
Date of News Release: 10/09/2012
(Post 12 Frankfort) -- During the 2011 Christmas season, the Frankfort Post set out to help 100 children throughout the Frankfort Post area during Christmas. We asked many businesses, individuals, Troopers, CVE Officers, KSP employees and members of our Post 12 Citizens Police Academy to give of their time and money to assist families for Christmas. We were able to surpass our original goal because of our "teamwork" approach. To every business and individual who supported this cause financially, you are the reason we were able to assist a total of 136 children from 82 different families during the 2011 Christmas season.
All seven counties within the Post 12 area benefited from our Post 12 Shop with a Trooper. The Frankfort Post area covers Anderson, Scott, Fayette Woodford, Franklin, Shelby and Spencer counties. Many hugs, tears, smiles, thank you cards, and words of thanks and appreciation were shared, which reminds us all that we are our brothers keeper.
Everyone's help is needed again during our 2012 Shop with a Trooper. The Frankfort Post has set a goal to help 100 needy children this year. Your donation is tax deductible through our Kentucky State Police Professional Association Trooper Campaign. Your Donation is greatly appreciated.
Contact Trooper First Class Ronald Turley, or anyone at the KSP Frankfort Post, if you, your business, or your group are interested in helping us help needy children this Christmas season.

This is one of our favorite desserts. I had ordered a box of these yummie desserts to try out at home. My 14 year old son immediately stated .... "I want these for my birthday celebration ~ NOT cake." So, we ended up ordering boxes to feed 10 14 and 15 year old boys. They loved them!! I also like the fact that they come individually wrapped, so you can bake as many or as few as you would like. Great stuff!!Kim R. - San Antonio, TX

Chapter - International
What's wrong with 6 minutes on the bike?
In the movie, The Mechanic, starring Jason Statham as a professional killer and Donald Sutherland as his mentor, Donald Sutherland's character has a revolver with the inscription "Victory Loves Preparation."
If you have seen The Mechanic, you will know that Jason Statham's character was the prepared one and ultimately did not do Donald Sutherland's character well!
Anyway, when I was asked to present a workshop on warm-up and cool downs, I thought that "Victory Loves Preparation" was an appropriate title.
Does the world really need a workshop on warm-ups and cool downs?
I mean, what's wrong with 6 minutes on the bike or jogging around the perimeter while catching up with team mates? The athletes or clients ARE getting 'warm."
Next week I will share my perspective on warm-ups and cool-downs and why I created an entire one day workshop on the topic.
However, I am very interested in your take on warm ups and cool-downs:
To your Success,
PS: If you would like to know, right away, why I created "Victory Loves Preparation" and how this knowledge can make your workouts more EFFECTIVE, please take a look at the seminar description here.
PPS: Does self myofascial release really work? Check next weeks blog for a review of some of the current research on the topic?

What the NAEP Data Tell Us About Seniors' Interests and Experiences
The latest round of NAEP results for 12th graders delves into a variety of contextual factors, including math courses students have taken and their attitudes toward reading.
The latest round of NAEP results for 12th graders delves into a variety of contextual factors, including math courses students have taken and their attitudes toward reading.
Teacher evaluations linked to test scores would be delayed under a Maryland bill awaiting the governor's signature.
Are American students merely coddled, or are they instead aptly confident? Perhaps instead of being hobbled by a mathematical deficit, our kids are instead empowered by a superabundance of hopeful freedom that allows them to dare big things.
Teachers are posting higher scores on the SAT exam than two decades previously, and higher scorers are now just as likely to teach as their peers.
At the Mission Hill School in Boston, teachers decide which ways to assess their students, and why. Educator Kim Farris-Berg imagines what it would like like if all teachers across the country were similarly trusted.
In this era of the school turnaround, what should a struggling school be turning into - and how can we know if it's working? Sam Chaltain has some ideas, but they would require a sea change in how we think about assessing whether or not students are learning.
Teachers need fair employment and dismissal procedures or so-called tenure because so much concentration on high stakes testing has distorted the practice of teaching. Politicians need to assure good teachers that they will not be subjected to personal, political, arbitrary, and capricious decisions not to mention nepotism.
Do we need tests that compare individual American students to their international peers?
Achievement gaps persist by gender persist across the globe, a new study finds, with boys lagging in reading and girls lagging in math.
Imagine 2,000 questions for 4th grade math that cover the entire scope of appropriate material from basic to advanced topics.

Get shredding.
When it comes to long miles and stability on the trail, 29ers are king. And, while the advantages of big wheels are nothing new, disadvantages, when packaged into a full-suspension platform, still exist. Luckily, Yeti has broken the code and shattered the mold with the SB-95 Enduro Complete Mountain Bike.
Ultra-long wheelbases have plagued full-suspension 29ers since their inception, resulting in lethargic handling on technical trails. However, with a direct-mount front derailleur and Yeti's compact Switch Technology eccentric suspension, Yeti was able to tuck the large rear wheel as far as possible under the rider, while keeping the chainstays short. The end result is a long-travel 29er chassis that handles with surprising ease and eagerness.
Unlike multi-link suspension designs that require linkages packed in between the main triangle and rear triangle, Yeti's Switch Technology features an eccentric mechanism buried low in the frame — requiring a minimal chainstay length. This compact eccentric continuously adjusts the lower pivot position, allowing for a rearward, small-bump damping axle path. All the while, the system maintains a firm, pedal-friendly platform. When you start to blow through the travel, the eccentric rotates in the opposite direction for a responsive midstroke. And finally, you get to the end position where the suspension becomes progressively stiffer for big hit absorption. Switch Technology is also tuned to be independent of chain forces, preventing any kickback when spinning through rock gardens.
Switch Technology not only features perfected pivot and rear-axle motion, it also rides on oversized pivots, pins, and axles to ensure precise, friction-free movement with long maintenance intervals. Controlling the suspension movement is the lauded FOX FLOAT with the new CTD dampening. Matched up to it is a 140mm 34 FLOAT with CTD as well. This ensures a simple user interface and easy tuning. CTD offers three pre-tuned compression dampening options for climbing, trail, and descending.
The Yeti SB-95 Enduro Complete Bike rolls on a DT Swiss M1900 Wheelset wrapped in Maxxis tires. Drivetrain duty is covered by SRAM's workhorse X7 and X9 components. Up front is an X7 derailleur and S1000 crankset with 22/32/44 tooth gearing. Out back is an X9 derailleur and an 11-36T SRAM cassette. Avid Elixir 5 brakes keep speed in check, while an alloy Truvativ T20 stem, seatpost, and T30 handlebar occupy the cockpit.
The Yeti SB-95 Enduro Complete Bike is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the colors Black, Silver, and Turquoise.

Rescue Ranch Finds New Opportunity To Help More Animals
LEVY COUNTY - The Phoenix Animal Rescue Group has found a new way to use the land they have purchased for a rescue ranch in Levy County.
The group had already closed on the land when they realized they could use the trees to make more revenue to build more dog cabins - doubling the number of dogs they can house to 32.
They plan to clear and sell the timber, then they can begin the groundbreaking.
Once they begin building, they need donations of building materials - metal, A.C. units, windows, light fixtures, etc.
To help donate supplies or find out more about adoptions, please click here for all the details.
The group provides support to the Levy County Animal Shelter, and helps find those dogs foster homes or permanent homes.
They hold adoption and foster opportunities each Saturday at Pet Smart in Gainesville.

The Associated Press
The University of Rhode Island named Jim Fleming as its new head football coach.
The defensive coordinator from the University of Central Florida was formally introduced at a press conference on campus on Monday morning.
Fleming spent two seasons at Central Florida, first as linebackers coach and then defensive coordinator. The Knights have an 11-1 record overall and are ranked No. 15. They will play against No. 6 Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.
He says belief is critical for success and that the team will be energetic, hard-working and physical.
The New York City native succeeds Joe Trainer, who was released from the final year of his contract in November. Trainer went 12-44 as URI's head coach.

Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Colts scored 45. »

Be careful, this is not an active blog, it is only for testing purposes
Looks really good.
I would like to make a few points.
1. I would prefer it if it showed more articles on the "Favorite tag" and "Favorite category" modules, perhaps the two latest articles and the one most visited of each.
2. I loved the "Comments" module and all the rest.
3. Also I noticed that after a while of moving in the site some of the tags in the tag cloud got too small, almost unintelligible, maybe you should set a minimum font size for that.
4. At some point after visiting a few articles I got to a point where the same article appeared in both the "Favorite tags" and the "Favorite category" modules.
Not that this is such a big problem but it just didn't look too good. Maybe you could have a condition where no article can appear simultaneously on those two modules.
5. Finally, perhaps you could add a Guest book on the Test site so people can leave their comments there. Perhaps a simple article where people could comment. It would also help to demonstrate the "Comments" module as well if you know what I mean.
Good job, keep on it
I thing I could certainly find many uses for such a plugin and would probably use it myself.
This is very alike.
Can you please tell me the problem(s) that you confront.
Firstly, thank you for your good word and secondly i noted down your suggestions as possible future extensions

(ABCNEWS.GO) — Authorities in central Wyoming say they received a 911 call reporting that a woman involved in an exorcism had stopped breathing and had gone into cardiac arrest.
But when Fremont County sheriff's deputies arrived, the woman was breathing.
The Sheriff's Office says it received the call Tuesday from a residence near Riverton, about 120 miles west of Casper. The caller said a woman possessed by a poltergeist had stopped breathing when sprayed with Holy Water and then went into cardiac arrest when others attempted an exorcism.

Disease and meat quality are of high importance to the aquaculture producer, processor and consumer. However, both disease resistance and meat quality traits are complex to understand and measure, costly to evaluate and slow to improve using current methods of selective breeding.
In this project we will develop new techniques, new knowledge and a new integration of expertise that will enable us to tackle the problem of selectively improving these complex traits.
We will focus on Atlantic salmon, but results from the project will be applicable to other aquaculture species. Simulation models will be developed to test what likely impact new techniques will have on genetic gain and to test alternative designs for selective breeding programs. The cost/benefits associated with the use of these methods and how the IP derived from such project can be well managed and fully exploited will be determined.
SalmoBreed is providing fish with known pedigree and preferred mating design from their breeding nucleus, while ScanVacc provides vaccines.
Totally three PhDs will be produces, while nine researchers are involved.
Nofima Mat is involved in developing NIR for measuring fat and pigmentation in live fish, and in utilising micro array analysis for measuring quality traits.
Sub goals
- Evaluate the potential application of a range of emerging technologies to selective breeding for speeding the genetic improvement of these important but challenging traits in aquaculture species.
- Develop a humane and efficient means of improving disease resistance in salmonids.
- Increase basic knowledge about the genetic determination of meat quality traits such as fillet colour, fillet yield and fat (content and type).
- Develop methods that will fully exploit the unique biological characteristics of aquaculture species to maximise genetic improvement.
Workpackage 1
Techniques for measuring and recording traits on live breeding candidates
- Measurement of gene expression profile patterns, their association with disease resistance and use as a tool for selective breeding.
- Development of equipment and methods to measure individual feed uptake.
- Use of imaging equipment for quantifying meat quality traits.
Workpackage 2
Improved knowledge of the genetic basis of the traits
- Establish an experimental resource population of Atlantic salmon.
- Comparison of prediction ability of breeding values using gene expression and challenge response data.
- How to record and obtain reliable genetic parameters for growth, feed efficiency and carcass quality traits.
Workpackage 3
Impact of new technologies and improved knowledge on the design of fish breeding programs
- Optimum contribution selection for schemes with pre-selection.
- Use of markers for parental assignment
- Breeding design to get unbiased prediction of breeding values across cohorts, sub-populations and generations.
- Two-tier selection strategies.
Workpackage 4
Cost benefit and exploitation of the new techniques
- Exploitation and management of new IP with application to selective breeding.
- Evaluation of costs/benefits for use of the new techniques.

Plus-Size Holiday Party Hits
Dresses: Jewel tones
Bing Shopping: Jewel tones
Gem colors are on everyone's style radar this season, and there are no more opulent party colors than ruby, sapphire and emerald. Showcase these precious hues in glowing silk or flowing chiffon tailored into surplice necklines (tres flattering) and long, luscious hemlines.
Dresses: Sparkle
Bing Shopping: Sparkle
Shine your light in high-wattage gowns glimmering with thousands of sequins, dusted with glam glimmer or woven with lavish metallic thread. Wrap dress silhouettes take to this gilding beautifully, as does the latest trend-right party gown - the drop-waisted flapper dress.
Dresses: Lace
Bing Shopping: Lace
Black lace is a staple of the party circuit, but it's time to tweak that tradition a little. What's hot now? Color - especially wine hues, deep blue and green tints and the lavish look of metallic lace. Sometimes just a touch of lace (at neckline, waist, sleeves) turns a dress from demure to deluxe.
Dresses: Chiffon
Bing Shopping: Chiffon
This ethereal material floats around your body in a supremely flattering way, but there's nothing "comfort fabric" about it. Long, figure-skimming gowns are (obviously) holiday party showstoppers, but we also love the flirt of a short cocktail frock swinging with chiffon pleats.
Blouses: Fancy tank tops
Bing Shopping: Tank tops
Sleeveless tanks may not be the first item that pops to mind as "party wear," but we're not talking plain cotton here. Lustrous accents (sequins splashed all over or designed in elegant patterns), glowing colors, molten fabrics and extravagant beading make evening tank tops the layering piece to lust after.
Blouses: Silky tunics
Bing Shopping: Silky tunics
What to wear over those super-sexy fancy leggings, skinny jeans or sequined minis? Super-breezy on the body, but with some designs elegant enough to wear to the fanciest soirees, the tunic doesn't skimp on length or dazzle. Look for silver or gold metallic, Baroque pattern designs or a pop of crimson color.
Blouses: Embellishments
Bing Shopping: Embellishments
This year's party season sparkles with gobs of sequins and metallics, but if all that shine is just a touch too much, choose party-ready tops that show off simple sophistication. Beaded collars and cuffs, softly glowing velvet borders, ladylike lace accents and faux-leather trim kick up your style simply.
Blouses: Sheer fabrics
Bing Shopping: Sheer fabrics
Sometimes less is more. Be as sexy as you wanna be in sheer blouses that go from demure to daring depending on the layering piece you wear beneath. These wispy numbers are body-skimming, comfy to wear, and they're offered in varying degrees of opacity – with scads of embellishment or none at all.
Skirts & pants: Lace pencil skirts
Bing Shopping: Lace pencil skirts
We love the melding of a business-savvy skirt silhouette with the extravagance of lace – it's a genius combo that's also a no-brainer party separate. Add a dolman-sleeve silk top or cowl-neck metallic top and you're done. (Don't forget the sky-high platform heels.)
Skirts & pants: Silky pleated skirts
Bing Shopping: Silky pleated skirts
With more flowing movement than a trim pencil skirt, these softly pleated beauties are a more traditional (but no less smashing) soiree skirt. Whether crafted in matte chiffon, shiny silk charmeuse or something in between, the textural impact of pleats captures retro glamor at its most now.

Support is coming in from all over for a 9-year-old with cancer from San Antonio – even from a famous face.
Damon Billeck was diagnosed with osteosarcoma bone cancer, and says the hit song Happy by Pharrell keeps his spirits up.
A family friend with connections recently asked Pharrell for an autograph for Billeck.
The singer went above and beyond the call, and instead, gave Billeck a personal, uplifting message.
The kindness toward the boy didn't stop there -- when McKinney teenager Morgan Souder heard about Billeck's story, she decided to cut her hair and donate it to Locks of Love in his honor.
Souder had been growing it for about seven years and had enough hair to make four children's wigs.

Huge Peaches & Cream
October 29th, 2013
New XL Girl Gina George was discovered by a TSG editor on a hunt for new sexy hotties with big boobs and well-fed bodies. His search led to Gina who accepted our invitation to show her fantabulous talents. Gina is only 5'2" and has 34HH tits. An unbeatable combination. It turned out that Gina has a lusty appetite for sex and she likes to show that lusty hunger on-camera. This is called a win-win for everyone. "I am a filthy, slutty, little tart," says Gina. "I love to suck and fuck hung studs." Uninhibited Gina has her sights set on Jay in her first XXX scene and it's a creampie climax too! That's her favorite thing as it turns out. "A good, hard fuck and a man coming inside me satisfy me best," says Gina. She has that lusty British big babe vibe that reminded your veteran editors of Samantha Sanders, Toni Evans and Gaynor. Gina's bed-mate is absorbed in a magazine. That won't do for Gina. She has better and bigger things planned than to have a reading session in the sack. The sheets are meant to be scorched with their body friction. Gina knows exactly how to wind up her human doll and set his cock-work in motion. She knows what makes a guy tick. Big boobs rubbing against his prick, for starters, before she swallows it down her throat! Gina mentioned that she has a foot and ankle fetish. You'll see what this means in the video. Gina enjoys the full spectrum of red hot sexuality from lap dancing to wearing costumes to massaging a guy's prostate and beyond. Thank you, Miss Gina George, one of Britain's bust!

A month and a half after delivery the dispenser drawer had sticking issues; it wouldn't open. Almost immediately after the repairman left, the drawer wouldn't close properly and he had to come back that night to repair. Now four days later, the drawer won't stay closed; it opens during the wash cycle, during the spin cycle and when not in use. Not helpful when you have toddler and baby clothes to clean.

Fantastic Washer/Dryer
By ptrickel
Could not recommend this set more. Wash and dry cycles are fast and quiet. Well worth the money.
A Convert
By Pat
When I initially went looking for a new washer I was very skeptical as I had heard all the bad things that could happen. Moldy smells being at the top. Since using my new washer and taking proper care after use I am truly happy with my choice of washers. My clothes come clean and spots seem to come out a lot easier with just a little pretreating. I was extremely happy with the Electrolux appliances I already owned and am glad to add this new one to the list.
Review of Washer
By Julie
I'm generally happy with my washer, but I was disappointed because I had to call out for repairs, but it was super easy to take care of.
Not so great
By Ab
I bought this model since it had a 2nd floor no vibration guarantee but it feels like a jet is going to take off. I could have bought a top load for much less & better quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
washer review
By lily
The washer is great. I especially like the adjustable features and the fact that it spins out so well. I wish there were a "lint trap" in the washer. When I wash heavy thing like small scatter rugs, I often see lint and dog hairs in the drum and rubber gasket. I wish there were a filter that could catch all that.
What's not to love?
By Jem248
First impression: you open the door and the lights come on slowly and the inside is huge and all the led lights on the control pad turn on. Every possible combination is available. The washer is quiet and sophisticated. My wash is coming out much cleaner than before and it's just delightful to use.
Good choice.
By JJ
It is the only washing machine that the door is reversable. It fits just right.
Great washer
By Amanda
My clothes are coming out looking like new. The amount of clothes I can fit in has reduced my weekly loads by over half.
Has pros and cons, but overall I'm a fan
By Dana
We've had this Electrolux front-loader for about 18 months. I didn't realize in advance that they need to be cleaned about once a month (just throw bleach in and run a clean cycle) and the door MUST be left open to air dry. I often forget and am only reminded when our clothes suddenly smell like wet dog. That said, I do love the performanceâ€"we added the Pure Wash system (ozone) to it so that we only use cold water, and we never have to worry about stains; blood, red wine, whatever, it's gotten it all clean. I love that I don't have to think twice about throwing delicate items in, or worry that my tank and camisole straps will get tangled up in the machine - my most delicate items have all been safe and sound. Also, I recently moved and needed to flip the doors due to the new house's hookup locations - I couldn't find my user manuals among all the boxes, but customer service was very friendly and gracious, and emailed them to me while we were on the phone. It wasn't the simplest procedure, but I was able to do it on the first try.

Do you agree with euthanasia? (for humans)
I recently had an argument with 2 of my teachers on this subject. Whenever asked whether they agree with euthanasia or not they were either avoiding to answer or they were completely against it without bringing any arguments to support their opinion.
As far as I've noticed this is a very controversial and sensitive subject but I couldn't find anyone to debate it with.
Both my history and my religion teacher found their safety saying that Jesus says humans have no right to take away anyone's life but they didn't share their personal opinion.
Basically my belief is that endeed we do not have that right but in some cases,when for instance a certain person is too sick and hasn't got any chance of getting better and that person doesn't have the streght or the will to fight anymore and their desire is to die,shouldn't they be given this right?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Brian BASHAMMay 29 2013: Miclaus, I agree with you. I think if a person who is too sick, or have lost the will should have the right to elect for euthanasia. I have a number of significant injuries, and have told my family that I am not to be a burden and if they need to, pull the plug. Do not let me suffer, and do not let me be kept alive by machines. I do not subscribe to any religious or other theory. Religion was created by man to control man; just like our modern day laws do now.
My response to right to lifers is this. Why do we force the sick, the weak, the feeble to suffer to appease some "merciful" god; but if I do that to my dog - I get charged with cruelty?
May 29 2013: I agree with what you said a bout religion. I don't mean to offend anyone but my opinion is that religion is just another way to manipulate people.And you are definitely right about euthanasia too. The way I see it,sometimes that is the most merciful action one can take for somebody else.
Daniel RonelMay 29 2013: Religion is so controversial and strict that there will always be people who don't like it. I myself feel like religion is far too controlling, and for that reason I don't like it. But it's not offensive to have an opinion. You may feel the opposite. But to say that is offensive is a little insulting, far more than what he said. He's allowed to have an opinion. And in my opinion, religion IS just a way to manipulate people. If there is a god, prove it to me, and I will forever believe in my religion, but until then I refuse to believe any of its rules. Back to the original argument, if someone is in physical pain that has no known cure, and they want to die, they should have the right, even if they are unable to do it themselves. It isn't fair to make them suffer. From both a moral point of view and a scientific point of view, euthanasia is a positive thing, but from a religious point of view (that would conditionally have no effect on my decision), it is a sin. Either way, two beats one. Euthanasia is the only fair thing to do.
May 29 2013: Yes religion is strict. Thats because man made it. Christians don't follow religion and often dislike it. Christ is about freedom. When you understand that you are free indeed. It is not about religion its about a relationship. There is even a book out on it, which most don't take the time to really read and understand but it is the most popular book in the world. BIBLE
May 29 2013: James, can I be free without Christ? Can I go to heaven, if I do not accept Christ as my saviour and accept he died for all my sins? If you answer no - then you prove my point about being tied to a particular group think. If yo answer - yes. Do not tell your church leader.
The world's most popular book was written by man some hundred's of years after the death of Christ (yes I believe in Christ and he existed and did amazing things, I just do not accept he was the son of god). It contains many contradictory statements and appears to endorse slavery. Leviticus commands certain people be killed for certain acts. Hardly a book about freedom!
May 30 2013: Tify, your scenario is at best hypothetical. As I understand it there is no mention of monetary gain in my arguments. It is about human dignity and the right to choose the moment of my departure.
To end the life of someone who can "come out of it" for pure monetary purposes is murder - plain and simple.
May 30 2013: Brian with all due respect the scenario is far from hypothetical.
Doctors who are in the US make that decision every day, maybe you dont know of about it, most dont, but I can tell you that every hospital in the US has a 'revenue' department. Nor is it hypothetical for people in the US who don't have sufficient health care benefits.
And if you don't have it, pressure is put on family members to end life, now of course it's put out there in the nicest possible way, but dont delude your self that every day this happens.
Simply put - Every minute on life support - Costs money.
Just as people think the system is free, as their counter parts, in the UK/Europe where an analysis of a persons status, ie breadwinner, number of dependents are all taken into account before serious procedures are allocated, as well as the total government allocation for that procedure, from national to local. Look up National Health Trusts in the UK, see exactly what they do and how they operate.
Then you'll unfortunately come to the realization that the scenario is far from hypothetical.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Its the Best! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 01/05/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: New owner and first Hybrid Limited, so too early to tell. My first impressions have been great. I like the style, size and features. Previously owned a Sienna XLE Limited AWD for nine years and was willing to sacrifice a little size and space for better technology, fuel economy, comfort and style. I've owned many cars and Toyota has better maintenance costs unlike my German cars. HistoricallyToyota has been dependable for me. I looked at many other SUVs/Crossovers and kept coming back to the Highlander for overall value. I would expect the same excellent resale as my Sienna with this new Hybrid Limited.
Cons: Not many Hybrid Limited's to choose from around three local "high volume" Toytota dealers.
Overall review: Good overall first impressions. I'm expecting Toyota quality and dependability.

What family doesn't love tacos, and what mom doesn't love a good slow cooker recipe? This recipe is the best of both, and as a bonus, calls for less expensive chicken thighs that can withstand hours of slow cooking without losing their texture.
Place chicken in the bowl of a slow cooker. Top with salsa, diced green chiles, cumin, onion and garlic. Cover and set on low. Cook for 8 hours.
Remove chicken from pot, shred, and return to juices.
Spoon chicken into taco shells, with whatever toppings your family likes. Or use the meat to make burritos, tostadas or as a filling for enchiladas.

How Zealous Clergy and Their Media Enablers Are Manufacturing a Controversy Over Birth Control Coverage
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The latest battle in the never-ending culture wars is about birth control--you know, the stuff 99 percent of American women use to prevent pregnancy and for a host of other medical reasons.
This particular fight centers around whether employers will have to offer insurance plans that cover contraception. Even better, these are plans with a low or nonexistent co-pay for contraception, all under a new guideline from the Obama Administration's Department of Health and Human Services which considers contraception "preventive care." Even more specifically under contention is whether religiously affiliated (but not exclusively religious) employers must do this, must allow women who are students, employees, or related to employees, to be insured under that kind of birth control inclusive plan.
The Obama Administration has allowed a narrow exemption for houses of worship and other exclusively religious organizations, but has been tough and courageous by extending the mandate to bigger organizations that employ people from across the religious spectrum.
So the institutions that will have to get themselves in gear are religiously affiliated universities, charities and hospitals. This makes a lot of sense. We all know there are people who work at such institutions who in no way share their employers' more rigorous or differing religious beliefs.
Now let's take a step back and recall that this bill is not mandating these employers actually pay for birth control. Employees pay into insurance, after all, with money withheld from their paychecks. As blogger SharkFu notes:
Meds without a co-payment are not "free." If the word "co-pay" enters a discussion...then y'all are talking about insurance coverage. If y'all are talking about insurance coverage...then folks are paying for insurance. If folks are paying for insurance...THEN YOU ARE PAYING FOR MEDS & SERVICES!!
It would seem, therefore, that since none of these organizations are being forced to bankroll birth control, nor to expressly condone it in any sense, the real issue is that they would simply be forced to comply with a law that acknowledges it. Even more to the point, they would be forced to stop insisting that women under their employ or their relatives go elsewhere or pay out of pocket for basic healthcare. They would essentially have to stop discriminating against women, a discrimination that results in unintended pregnancies, heavy out-of-pocket fees, and even more drastic health consequences.
So refusing to let institutions do this--sounds Kosher to me.
For many among the (ahem! celibate) Catholic clergy, though, this new rule is just too much. Here's an example of the kinds of statements coming from bishops in the wake of this brave decision by the Obama administration:
This shift is but a thinly disguised way of silencing the moral witness of Catholics in protecting the sanctity and dignity of every human life, in defending marriage and family from attacks upon it, and from sowing the seeds of our faith through our works of mercy. It is an attempt to put a bushel basket over the light of our Catholic faith and to keep it a private matter to be expressed only inside a church, and even then with limits.
That is the kind of language being leveled against the White House: "right of conscience" and "religious freedom" is the party line for the opposition to this measure. But it hasn't always been. Amanda Marcotte on Twitter pointed to a story from summer 2010 by Dana Goldstein, in which the bishops' reasons for opposing birth control coverage were not at all about religious freedom, but actually about opposition to sex.
"I don't want to overstate or understate our level of concern," said McQuade, the Catholic bishops' spokesperson. "We consider [birth control] an elective drug. Married women can practice periodic abstinence. Other women can abstain altogether. Not having sex doesn't make you sick."

Bender Arena
American University Washington College of Law Celebrates Commencement 2014. Click here for Commencement highlights including videos and a list of award recipients.
NEW! CONTACT INFORMATION FORM: So that we may send transcripts, rank information, certificates and contact you if there are problems, or anything to be resolved
Commencement Information
WCL's ceremony will be held in Bender Arena on Sunday, May 18. The event will begin promptly at 1:00 pm (doors open at noon). The ceremony will last approximately two hours, and will be followed by a reception on the AU Quadrangle. Tickets are not required.
Commencement Celebration
Dean Claudio Grossman cordially invites graduates, their family, and their friends on behalf of the Washington College of Law community to a reception being held to honor our 2014 graduating class. The commencement reception will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at the Organization of American States, located at the 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. This is a great opportunity to celebrate our graduates' accomplishments in a spectacular setting. As one of the nicest buildings in Washington, DC, the OAS is the proper place to acknowledge their efforts and achievements in the presence of their families and the WCL community. Due to space constraints at the OAS, there will be two ceremonies: one from 5:00 to 7:00pm and one from 8:00 to 10:00pm.
Please send an e-mail to email@example.com expressing your preference as to which reception you will attend and with the number of guests in your party by Friday, May 9, 2014. Please note that there is a limit of five guests per graduate (a total of six including the graduate) to the reception.
Application for Graduation
Candidates for degrees should have filed a Notice of Intent to Graduate Form in the Office of the Registrar during the registration period at the start of their final semester of study. See MyWCL for deadline information. Only after application for graduation has been made can the Office of the Registrar begin processing the necessary information for final clearance for graduation. Students who fail to complete all degree requirements by the end of the term for which they applied to graduate must reapply in order to graduate later. The law school grants degrees at the end of each Summer, Fall, and Spring term. Commencement ceremonies are held in May to recognize students completing their degrees in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Students file an application to graduate for Summer, Fall, or Spring as they register for what they expect is their final term of study. The application triggers a review of the student's academic record to determine whether or not it is possible for the student to complete degree requirements at the end of that term. Students whose records indicate they are on schedule to graduate at the end of the term for which they have applied are invited to commencement.
