Hi Guys,
I'm on MU but this should work for all.
Grab the wordpress-mobile-pack.php from the main plugin folder and open in a decent editor : look for
Line 256 copy($source_child, $destination_child);
Add the following directly below
// OldSkool Fix Re-Set The User Permissions
chmod($destination_dir, 0777);
chmod ($destination_child, 0777);
Uninstall the plugin : then reinstall. When requested over write the existing files.
If you ftp to the themes folders you should now have full access.
Worked for me so hope it helps someone here.

911 operators in Colorado Springs answered over 600 calls in two hours during Wednesday night's incredible storm. The Fire Department reports they rescued 40 people and 1 dog.
According to 11 News Meteorologists, precipitation totaled as high as 4 inches in some areas of Colorado Springs. During a press conference Thursday, Mayor Steve Bach described it as a "100 year event."
Many of those rescued were on top of cars that became stranded in the flood water. Four police vehicles were among those damaged and several officers were sent home for fear of hypothermia after wading through water to help rescue motorists.
There were no reports of fatalities or serious injuries.
City street and utility employees were also busy Wednesday. They responded to approximately 100 calls for downed trees and wind damage.
The Mayor's press conference also touched on stormwater issues. The area around the Citadel Mall was highlighted as a region facing challenges with undersized drainage that can quickly become clogged.

I add this "Code" ot a post:

and my Blog doesnt work any more.- Error Message - when i take a look with firebug on the broken page the body is empty!?
I try to reset the Setting to standard on NextGen Gallery and I deleted the Cache.
I also take a look on the chmod on the ftp - I tried to give the Plugin and the content 777 but nothing happends. :-(
When i remove the singepic code on the post the site works in normal style again.
Thx 4 Help!

Visits, Admit Days, and Open Houses / Re: Does anyone have pictures of Rutgers-Newark?« on: May 31, 2005, 04:58:50 PM »
The law building is GREAT. I just finished four years at NJIT across the street and spent a good amount of time in the law school. The library is really well set up and very welcoming. Yes, Newark is hairy sometimes, and the Springs have been getting progressively more dangerous over the last few years. But they have really good security on the law building and the Rutgers campus in general always has cops cruising around. The campus outside of the law building isn't nearly as nice, however. Their undergrad classrooms stink.

Hello, fellow Pirates fans, and welcome to my Pillage the Village medium entry! In this scene, I wanted to really represent the contest theme, so I decided to make a crew of pirates attack the central square of a village.
EDIT: Revised Edition, all comments before post with new pics on page 2 refer to original version.
Okay, everyone, I've done my updated version! This is basically the same concept, but I added a lot of new items and rearranged some.
So to start off, here's an overview:
Pillaging and plundering ahoy! Check out the market stands, bench and sign that I think make it look more like a real Market Square. Also, plenty of gore to go around. So, enjoy!
The shop owner of the stand with the canopy has been stabbed and ruthlessly shoved into his stand. He's puking out blood, now... a poor villager has been set on fire by a previous bomb thrown by the pirate with the blue shirt.
Captain Furious himself stabs an innocent child, spraying blood everywhere. Also note the crushed bench and the stabbed villager.
Here you see a few surviving villagers fleeing the pirates. The maiden notices a glint of red as she sprints by, and glance behind her. She wished she hadn't, because what she saw wasn't pretty: a pirate had skinned and gutted the villager selling fruit, and replaced the fruit with blood, guts, and the corpse.
The two villagers running, but more importantly, the bomb thrown by the pirate in blue bashing through the sign. If I had made this MOC a second later than the time frame that I did, we would see the sign and the area around it exploding. By the way, the villager on fire has been caught in a previous explosion.
Front view of the sign.
More pictures here and here.
Thanks for looking, feel free to leave any suggestions!

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 32-bit in VirtualBox 4.2.6 r82870 running under Windows Vista 64-bit. I'm installing from a DVD drive. The installation went fine up to the point where it said "Checking for packages to remove" but it has now been in that state for more than 7.5 hours, all the time thrashing the DVD drive. I can't believe this is normal. If I stop the installation, will I be able to complete it?
install should take no more than 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure the install dvd has errors. When you burn your disc use the slowest speed setting and check if the md5sum is correct.
Here are the md5sums for 12.10. Compare them to the md5sum of the iso on your installation disc. The one that's relevant to you is the one that ends with "desktop-i386.iso"
This guide explains how to do it on windows
Sounds like you are swapping windows style....In otherwords, you may not have sufficient memory to support both OSes within the same box.

But the title and editor aren't listed there and putting title, etc, as the meta to remove doesn't work. Any ideas?

AbstractIn rotorcraft flight dynamics, optimized warping camber/twist change is a potentially enabling technology for improved overall rotorcraft performance. Recent research efforts have led to the application of active materials for rotorcraft blade actuation to dynamically change the blade camber/twist. However, full-scale aircraft application of these systems in demanding rotor blade environments gets significantly degraded by dynamic operational factors including friction, free play, and, aerodynamic and inertial loads. In a radical departure from current techniques, MTC proposes an innovative three-dimensional concept wherein typically closed section blade is cut open to create a torsionally compliant mechanism that acts as its own amplification device; blade deformation is dynamically driven by out-of-plane warping. During Phase I, this concept will be analyzed under dynamic operational factors. Required analytical and finite element tools will be developed within the framework of multibody dynamics that enable comprehensive aeroelastic evaluation of the concept. Feasibility of the concept for (i) swashplateless rotor system and (ii) higher harmonic control will be investigated and first-order actuator and blade cross-sectional design requirements will be established. Applications include both rotorcraft and fixed wing aircraft in the government and commercial sectors.

Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of "blue notes." It emerged in Black communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of African influence. "Blue notes," also known as "worried notes," are the typically flattened third, fifth, and seventh degrees in a major scale. Read more on Last.fm.

MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins cleared a major hurdle in their bid to get a new stadium Tuesday when a judge ruled the proposed tax-supported facility would serve a public purpose, giving her no right to overturn the decision of the elected officials who approved it.
In her 41-page ruling, Circuit Court Judge Jeri Beth Cohen wrote there were no grounds to overturn the judgment of the Miami-Dade County Commission. One issue is left for Cohen to resolve, but the Marlins and the county think it does not affect the stadium plans.
"It is unfortunate that so much time and so much of the public's money has been wasted in this legal process," Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria said in a statement. "We will proceed immediately to finalize discussions with the county and the city to put in place all the long-awaited final agreements. ... We look forward to unveiling the detailed plans for the ballpark in the very near future."
An attorney for wealthy auto dealer Norman Braman said he plans to appeal. Braman filed suit shortly after approval of the county's $3 billion "megaplan," which includes the new stadium, a major tunnel to the Port of Miami and a museums park. Braman, a philanthropist, art collector and former owner of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, has contended the project financing is unconstitutional.
"We're disappointed, but this is just one step on the long road that this case will take," said Braman's attorney, Bob Martinez. "Mr. Braman is fully committed as a matter of principle to making sure that the [state] constitution is upheld."
The Marlins would build the retractable-roof stadium on the site of the Orange Bowl in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, which has long been a target for economic revitalization.
The team has played at Dolphin Stadium since its inception in 1993 but complains the ballpark is ill-designed for baseball and that hot, rainy Florida summers require a roof. At a sweltering afternoon game last week, only 600 fans were in their seats for the first pitch.

Pirate Gathering In Virginia Doesn't Come Close To Record
Thousands of scallywags in costume turned up at The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Va. They wanted to break the Guinness record for largest pirate gathering. They fell short and may try again next year.
Good morning, I'm David Greene with news of the pirates falling short. No, not the baseball team, thank goodness. We're talking about International Pirate Day in Newport News, Va. Thousands in costume turned up at The Mariners' Museum. They wanted to break the Guinness World Record for largest pirate gathering.
But shiver me timbers, they fell short and not just by few wooden legs. The museum might give it another heave-ho next year.

What security permissions do I need to set to prevent a Vista folder from being renamed, or have any of its contents changed (all files and subfolders)
I can lock down the files and subfolders fine by denying permissions to write etc, but the folder can still be renamed?!!!!
I recall hearing somewhere that this could be done by changing the folder's parent security settings. That's fine but I need the folder's siblings to operate as normal.
EDIT 1: 22 March 2013 15:00 GMT
Perhaps I should give a fuller account of the setup and of what I've already done so we can get somewhere.
The setup
- I am running Vista Business 64bit.
- I am logged in as user that is in the Administrators group (user X)
- User X is the owner of the folder in question F
- UAC is turned on
- user X is by default granted full control permissions on folder F
- User X can go into Folder F's Properties->Security and edit his (and everybody else's) permissions
- in Properties->Security->Advanced->Permissions->Edit you get the most granular control
- the way this supposedly works is that you can deny access to specific items and the deny overrides the default allow behaviour
What I've done
in Folder F's Properties->Security->Advanced->Permissions->Edit I have done the following
- Unchecked "Include inheritable permissions from the object's parent"
- Checked "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendents with permissions from this object"
- Denied permission to
- Create files / write data
- Create folders / append data
- Write attributes
- Write extended attributes
- Delete subfolders and files
- Delete
The resulting behaviour
This succeeds in prohibiting all modifications to the folder including its deletion.

The (BASICS) study examines how an introductory computer science program, Exploring Computer Science (ECS) is implemented in school districts with a focus on identifying the key supports for and barriers to that implementation and endurance.
The Outlier approach to measuring status of implementation recognizes that no two teachers' curriculum enactments will look exactly the same because teachers make adaptations based in their local needs, contexts, and conditions (factors). In the BASICS study, we are primarily interested in describing the range of ways that ECS is used during classroom instruction, and identifying the key supports or barriers that influence use and endurance. The study is not an evaluation of ECS; rather our research seeks to systematically document and describe implementation status and a deeper understanding of the supports for and barriers to implementation. Instead of asking the question, "Is the program being enacted as intended?" data analysis for BASICS focuses on "What is being enacted, and what factors affect that enactment?"
Implementing and expanding opportunities for CS education is an issue of educational equity, particularly for students traditionally underrepresented in CS. Those already working to make K12 CS happen know that bringing change to school systems is complex. As states and school districts explore the role of CS in K12 education, understanding how ECS came to be implemented in a range of sites can have great impact on the implementation and endurance of introductory CS courses today and in the future.
The fundamental goal of all Outlier projects is to provide schools, districts, and policy makers with useful, practical information to continually improve education efforts. In the BASICS Study, we collaborate with NSF CS10K project leaders, CS education advisors, and school and district practitioners to produce findings and share relevant and practical information to help grow and sustain CS education. Our work contributes to the growing portfolio of CS education efforts. We encourage feedback on our project throughout the research study.

The BASICS Study is a mixed-methods research study. We use a range of both qualitative and quantitative strategies to answer our primary research questions and accomplish our project goals. Our research design collects data via teacher and student questionnaires; ECS developer, school district personnel, school leader, and teacher interviews; student focus groups; informal observations; and document reviews.
This project builds on Outlier's previous NSF-funded work rigorously studying implementation of educational innovations (new practices and programs) and the factors (contexts and conditions) that affect innovation implementation and sustainability. Earlier projects yielded a suite of instruments for measuring implementation of science and mathematics programs and a conceptual framework and accompanying instruments for identifying and measuring the factors that support and inhibit implementation of school-based innovations. The BASICS Study began with these instruments and customized them for use with a CS-specific innovation (the ECS program). The project also stems from a previous CS-focused study (OS4CS) that established a more comprehensive understanding of our nation's current high school CS teaching and learning environment.
Although implementation measures can be used to examine program impacts, for the purposes of this research, we are interested in looking at the relationships between supports and barriers to implementation and implementation itself, not the quality, efficacy or impact of ECS on student outcomes in CS courses or pursuance of CS careers.
Sarah leads Outlier's computer science education research efforts. She is currently the Principal Investigator of this study, as well as another NSF broadening participation study (Bringing AP Computer Science Principles to Students with Learning Differences, award # 1542963) that aims to expand participation in computer science by making CSP more accessible for students with learning differences (students with learning disabilities and related attention disorders). Sarah has worked with Outlier since 2010 on a range of research and evaluation projects focused on increasing and improving STEM+C education. Prior to Outlier, she worked in the Education Department of the Field Museum, leading teacher PD and collaborating with Math & Science Education faculty at the Illinois Institute of Technology in instructional materials development and training for HS science teachers.

New Zealand First say a bill before the Local Government and
Environment select committee doesn't go far enough to crack
down on illegal street prostitution.
NZ First's social policy spokeswoman Asenati Lole-Taylor has
drafted a bill to give proposed prostitution law reform the
"teeth" to deal with confrontational street soliciting.
She said people living in parts of South Auckland and
Christchurch were outraged by street prostitution but were
reluctant to voice their concerns because of intimidation by
prostitutes and their minders.
The Manukau City Council (Regulation of Prostitution in
Specified Places) Bill 2010 was originally introduced as the
Manukau City Council (Control of Street Prostitution) Bill
2005 in an effort to clamp down on street prostitution but
was voted down.
The council decided to improve street lighting,
closed-circuit television, Maori wardens and ambassadors.
She said the existing Prostitution Reform Act 2003 places no
restrictions on where or when prostitutes can solicit
Mrs Lole-Taylor's office is in South Auckland and she said
there were frequent visits from constituents complaining
about violence related to prostitution.
NZ First would push for the Act to be amended.
"The hole in legislation made it virtually impossible for
local bodies to make legally sound bylaws to make
neighbourhoods safe from bullying prostitutes and their
"It would be negligent of MPs to ignore these problems.
Failure on their part to take action would be a dereliction
of duty," said Mrs Lole-Taylor.
Earlier this week Prime Minister John key said he didn't
think prostitution law reform had worked in New Zealand.
Mr Key said he didn't think the Prostitution Law Reform Act
2003 had achieved a reduction in street prostitution and
under age prostitutes, as it was intended to when voted for.
"The argument was that it would eliminate all the street
workers and underage people, particularly girls, and the
reports that we see in places like South Auckland is that it
hasn't actually worked," he said.
Mr Key said he didn't think there was political will to
revisit prostitution law reform but said there was will to
look at addressing street prostitution.

Close to 700,000 Indiana voters placed on hold
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson has marked 696,000 registrations "inactive" as part of her efforts to clean up to the state's rolls of voters.
Lawson announced Monday that a postcard drive to identify invalid voter registrations would help restore "integrity" to the state's voter rolls. Registered voters were asked to update their voting address by July 24. If the postcards were returned as undeliverable or not returned by the due date, the registration was marked "inactive".
However, if someone votes from the addresses marked "inactive" before Nov. 2016, their registration automatically becomes active again.
The results are from the second round of mailings from Lawson's office. More than 750,000 postcards were mailed out this time and 4.4 million postcards were mailed in the first round this past May.

This review is from:
Rick Steves Great Britain 2002 (Paperback)
I'll be going on my second trip to England this summer, and I thought that I would use this book a lot. I had used the London guide two years ago and was very happy with it. But I bought the book a few weeks ago, and I'm kind of disappointed. Since I've already been to England, and know some of what I want to see, this book isn't all that helpful. I don't need just a list of the normal tourist stuff in Edinburgh, or Bath. I think that Rick Steves is great at helping people try to travel on their own, without a tour group, but I don't think that his choice of places to visit are particularly original, or complete. He seems to really like Bath and Blackpool, but totally ignores some of my favorite places in England, such as Canterbury Cathedral. Also, although his directions to finding places in London are great, and he does give some information about each site, he doesn't give nearly enough background information about places to suit me. His directions to places outside of London are not nearly as helpful. If you're an experienced traveler in England, this book is not for you. If you're going for the first time, I'd buy this book for the directions to places and accomodations lists, and to help narrow down choices of places to visit, and then I'd look at other guidebooks to get more in-depth information for specific sites. I'd recommend the Dorling-Kindersley guide to London for starters. His sense of humor is terrific, and I appreciate his honesty about some of the things that he doesn't like, but I need more information than is available here. Spend some time on the internet, looking up things you're interested in, and researching, along with another guidebook or two, and you'll be much happier with your trip to England than you would be if you just relied on this book.
Skipping Christmas

Bah! Humbug!
Dec 14 2001
This review is from:
Skipping Christmas (Hardcover)
If this were written by one of my ninth grade English students rather than John Grisham, and turned into me for grading, I might write "trite", "predictable", or maybe even "boring" or "stereotypical" in the margin. The end is thoroughly stereotypical for a Christmas book, and of course, the cockles of our heart are supposed to be warmed. (Dickens did it first, and far better.) Long before the end, I was turned off. The plot is rather unbelieveable-- after all, in our culture, would anyone really care if a family decided not to celebrate Christmas? This book has none of the usual characteristics of a Grisham novel. And it's very, very short. Not worth the price even with the discount. I've given it two stars only because it's quick and easy to read, so it's valuable to pass the time somewhere like the doctor's office where you can't concentrate on a real book. Would this have been published without Grisham's name on the front? I doubt it. I'm sure it would not be selling as well as it is.
The Taliban: War, Religion and the New Order in Afghanistan

Reads like a text book for Modern Afghanistan 301
Oct. 11 2001
This review is from:
The Taliban: War, Religion and the New Order in Afghanistan (Paperback)
I found this book to be more "textbookish" than the other books I have read recently about the Taliban. It has a more dry academic style than the other two books that I'd recommend about the subject: The New Jackals: Ramsi Yousef, Osama bin Laden, and the Future of Terrorism, by Simon Reeve, and Taliban, Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia, by Ahmed Rashid. However, I felt that this book was still valuable. It has a more indepth discussion of the history of Afghanistan than the other two, and much more detail about the Northern Alliance, and makes it clear how difficult it will be to unite the Afghan people even after the Taliban are gone. As I read about the various factions there, I began to feel that I needed to write out a cast of characters, just to keep track of them all, and I also gained a sense that none of the various factions involved are particularly savory. Since it is several years old, recent events such as destruction of Bamiyan Buddhas, and of course, the WTC, are not discussed, but the book still presents a valuable overview of the backgrounds of the war we are facing now.

The best single book I've found about the Taliban.
Oct. 11 2001
This review is from:
Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia (Paperback)
I've read several books about Afghanistan and the Taliban since Sept. 11, and if I had to choose just one to recommend, this would be it. Ahmed Rashid is a Pakastani journalist , so he brings a different perspective to this whole awful situation than a US or British author might. He understands the area in a way that people from other parts of the world probably never will, and brings many years of experience to the subject. However, he appears to be very objective in his descriptions, and shows where the actions of many different countries have led to the situation that Afghanistan finds itself in now. Although the book was written in 2000, it is extremely informative in our present crisis. Several other reviewers here have done a good job of describing the parts of the book, so I won't do that again, but I would like to mention the last chapter of the book which summarizes the events that have led Afghanistan to the situation it is in, points out how difficult it will be to solve its problems and discusses how important it is to achieve peace in Afghanistan. I think that this chapter ought to be required reading for all Americans as we go into war. His prophetic closing sentence is "The stakes are extremely high."
I'd also recommend two other books for those who are interested in learning more: The Taliban: War, Religion and the New Order in Afghanistan, by Peter Marsden, and The New Jackals: Ramsi Yousef, Osama bin Laden, and the Future of Terrorism, by Simon Reeve.

Reads like a prophecy

This review is from:
New Jackals (Hardcover)
Although this book was written well before the WTC and Pentagon attacks, it is an excellent background for the terrible situation that we find ourselves in now. Reeve describes the first WTC attacks and the investigation of them in great detail, then goes on to describe the difficulties that will be faced in fighting terrorism in the future, and alludes to the types of attacks that America might face. I recommend this book very highly in conjunction with two other books that I have read in the last few weeks. New Jackals puts a more human face on the terrorism than the other two books do. It describes where the terrorists lived, how they worked, how they found each other, and how the FBI found them. It describes other attacks that they were planning, some very scary, and others ridiculous-- they even planned to kidnap former president Nixon. It also describes actions that the US has already taken or attempted to take against Osama bin Laden, and makes it clear that our current battle will not be easy. The other two books that I'd recommend are The Taliban, by Peter Marsden, and Taliban, Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia, by Ahmed Rashid, a Pakistani journalist. These other two books will provide a political, economic, religious, and historical background to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

This review is from:
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America (Hardcover)
In Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich tells the story of several months that she spent trying to enter the work force as an unskilled middle-aged woman who had been a homemaker. I was very interested in this book when I first heard about it, but the book itself was disappointing. Ehreneich found that she couldn't survive on the wages that she was paid without sinking to places such as homeless shelters for awhile, and gave up the experiment. I felt that there was sort of a patronizing attitude about the whole book-- a well-educated white woman goes and pretends to be poor for awhile, then comes back and tells us all about how awful it was.
I can't imagine why this book's findings, that low paid jobs are physically demanding, boring, and offer little in the way of job advancement, would be surprising to anyone who's not blind, but perhaps most people who read books like this haven't had low wage jobs while growing up. I was also surprised at how savagely certain groups are treated-- fat people, school teachers, people who pay household workers are all attacked for various reasons. The only folks who seem to be ok are some members of the working poor. Everyone else is seen as worthy of scorn.
It doesn't take long to read the book. It's not particularly intellectually challenging, but there are still a lot of other books out there that I think are more worthy of your time.

This review is from:
We Were the Mulvaneys (Paperback)
At first I enjoyed the book a lot. It took me into a world of a beautiful farm and a beautiful farm family, far from suburban southern California where I live. However, after sticking through to the end, I felt I had wasted my time. Without giving away the ending too much, I have to say that I felt that the book was written in a formulaic Oprah-book style-- mean abusive men, women who are innocent and wronged greatly by the men. While great fiction gives us a view into the lives and struggles of others, this book failed in that I didn't feel that some of the characters and their reactions in the book were realistic-- would the mother really remain that clueless? Would the father have really been that heartless? Would a family in the late 70's in the United States really deal that badly with a rape in the family. I hated having my emotions drug through the mud over something that I felt was not very realistic. It was overall a very depressing book. I woke up the next morning after I finished feeling very, very depressed, and then realized that I had sort of a hangover from the book.

Gardening with Nature: How James van Sweden and Wolfgang Oehme Plant Slopes, Meadows, Outdoor Rooms, an d Garden Screens (Hardcover)
Although the landscapes in this book are beautiful, most of the properties shown were massive, complete with beautiful natural views surrounding them. It was fun to look at the pictures, but realistically, most people aren't dealing with the situations shown here. One terrace garden was shown, but it was small and unremarkable. All the properties shown are on the east coast, so the plant choices are not particularly useful for folks who live west of the Mississippi. It's an interesting way to spend a few minutes looking at the pictures, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone to use in planning a garden.

The Teaching Gap: Best Ideas from the World's Teachers for Improving Education in the Classroom (Hardcover)
This book reports the findings of a study of Mathematics classes in Japan, Germany, and the United States. Many lessons were videotaped in each country, and then analyzed by the researchers. I'm an English teacher but I still found the researcher's observations to be intriguing. After describing the general characteristics of classes in each country, the researchers focus on Japan and the way that educators there collaborate. The way the Japanese teachers collaborate very intensively and the Japanese attitude toward educational reform were pointed out to show how Japan has managed to greatly improve its educational system in the last 50 years while the US system has gone through reform after reform without seeming to achieve any results. Differences in the Japanese culture that have added to this success are pointed out, and reasons for these differences are discussed. As an experienced teacher in the US, who has also lived in Japan and taught Japanese students in America, I believe that their observations were very accurate, and don't bode well for the success of educational reform in America in the future. However, I think that every teacher who is truly interested in school reform should read this book. (And unlike many books about education, it is very readable-- no pretension jargon, or murky tangled sentence structure.)

Exiting Nirvana My Daughter's Life With Autism (Hardcover)
Clara Claiborne Park describes her daughter Jessy, an autistic woman in her 40's and discusses how her daughter has changed in the years since she wrote The Siege: A Family's Journey into the World of an Autistic Child, which ended when Jessy was 8. The book is an eloquent argument for the education of autistic children, and a detailed glimpse into the family life of an autistic person. Park describes different aspects of their life in a matter-of-fact manner-- no whining or victimhood here. Her love of Jessy is obvious, and there is no complaining, but it becomes obvious through the descriptions of Jessy's behavior and personality that their life has been difficult. It's also obvious how well Jessy has been cared for and loved. It's refreshing to read this book because the Park family just seems so, so good, and that's unusual to come across these days.Parks is a great writer-- the book is intelligent and readable. I'd recommend this book for any family with an autistic child, and for anyone who is just interested in thinking about how love, personality, and intelligence relate

By Lisa R. RhodesDecember 22, 2011
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. -- One of the most important decisions a parent can make is when to leave a child home alone.
Child, Youth and School Services offers the "imAlone Program" for ages 11 to 18 and their parents to help prepare youths for the responsibilities of being home without adult supervision.
The program will be offered Jan. 21 and 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is open to children of active-duty service members, Reservists on active-duty status, Department of Defense personnel, retirees and Fort Meade DoD contractors. Participants must be registered with CYS2.
Parents of children enrolled in imAlone are required to attend a workshop on Jan. 28 from 1 to 2 p.m. The location has yet to be determined.
The imAlone program complements the Maryland state law that requires children be of a certain age before they are left alone or supervised by older children.
Fort Meade's "Policy on Parental Responsibilities and Supervision of Children and Youth" was updated four years ago by the Family Advocacy Program at Army Community Service. It provides guidelines that comply with Maryland state law.
Copies of the policy are distributed by the post's community policing office. CYS2 provides the policy to parents when they register for hourly care.
Parents, however, are responsible for their children whether they are left in the care of a baby-sitter or are left home alone.
The goal of imAlone is to provide families with "tools and guidance as they help their children move toward adulthood and independence," according to the facilitator's program guide.
The program includes information on the stages of youth development and helps youths apply the Six Pillars of Character, which are part of the CHARACTER COUNTS! curriculum created by the Josephson Institute and Center for Youth Ethics in Los Angeles.
Youths also learn how to respond in emergency situations such as what to do if the house lights go out or the hot water tank leaks.
The course also teaches basic first aid and how to safely prepare nutritious snacks. Parents learn how to work with their children to devise an emergency escape plan in case of a fire or other emergency.
Lorian Traver, assistant director of Parent and Outreach Services for CYS2, said imAlone provides the resources to assure parents that "their children will get a better understanding of the responsibilities involved in being alone and [that] they will be able to do it."

Reviews for Fluffy Biscuits
"Just made these biscuits and we really enjoyed them. My 3 year old daughter kept telling me I made yummy pancakes lol. Definitely a keeper"
"Just tried this recipe after looking online and trying many recipes.They came out great and a keeper for sure. Easy! 5 * Glad I doubled it!"
"These were really bad. I had to toss out the whole thing. All I could taste was bitter bitter baking soda. Is it really meant to have 4 tsp? This can't be right?!?Omg- as I wrote this I realized my mistake. Baking powder!!!! I'll try again tomorrow."
"I have been making this recipe for years. I originally got it from Allrecipes.com. This is the only biscuit recipe I will use. I couldn't make biscuits worth beans before I found this recipe."
"These were perfect! The only thing I changed, was I sifted the dry ingredients, and baked them on my baking stone on the lowest rack. PERFECT! Thank you!"
"I thought the recipe was generally okay. However, I stuck the biscuits back in the oven a couple of times and they were still mushy on the inside. I thought the flavor was pretty bland, even for a biscuit. Regardless, they were all eaten. They just weren't as good as some recipes I have tried."
"I used half butter and half lard. Delicious!!"
"Very nice. ... what a great find!!!"
"This is the fluffy biscuit recipe I've been looking for!! I used real butter instead of shortening but these were the lightest fluffiest biscuits I've ever made and they tasted heavenly!!"

It has been well established that critically sampled boundary pre-/postfiltering operators can improve the coding efficiency and mitigate blocking artifacts in traditional discrete cosine transform-based block coders at low bit rates. In these systems, both the prefilter and the postfilter are square matrices. This paper proposes to use undersampled boundary pre- and postfiltering modules, where the pre-/postfilters are rectangular matrices. Specifically, the prefilter is a "fat" matrix, while the postfilter is a "tall" one. In this way, the size of the prefiltered image is smaller than that of the original input image, which leads to improved compression performance and reduced computational complexities at low bit rates. The design and VLSI-friendly implementation of the undersampled pre-/postfilters are derived. Their relations to lapped transforms and filter banks are also presented. Two design examples are also included to demonstrate the validity of the theory. Furthermore, image coding results indicate that the proposed undersampled pre-/postfiltering systems yield excellent and stable performance in low bit-rate image coding

All Rise...
Abra Abra Cadabra, Judge Kristin Munson's gonna reach out and grab ya'.
The Charge
Jonathan: There's a word for what you are.
Opening Statement
Predictable is exactly what this series is. Every episode follows the same cozy formula: the crime-solving team hears about a baffling mystery—usually a murder—pokes around, has a bit of banter, and cracks the case in a way that makes you want to pull Jonathan's hair out by the frizzy roots.
Facts of the Case
Magician's assistant Jonathan Creek (comedian Alan Davies) and investigative journalist Maddy Magellan (Caroline Quentin, Men Behaving Badly) have been partners in crime solving for three years. A lifetime of constructing illusions for the stage and a shameless sense of nosiness has made for the perfect partnership when it comes to solving bizarre crimes. In Jonathan Creek: Season Three's six episodes, the duo takes on some unsolved mysteries that would stump Robert Stack and deals with a much bigger question: will they or won't they?
The Evidence
Jonathan Creek is a lot cheekier than I remember. That's probably because the version that aired on BBC America left out the topless ladies, sex scenes, and bare male bums.
Series' writer David Renwick wrote for a string of comedy hits like One Foot in the Grave, so Creek isn't really about whodunit and how, but the antagonistically flirty relationship between supremely logical Jonathan and his pushy partner, with some weird puzzles to throw them together. This season, the locked-room mysteries take on a darker, more supernatural bent, complete with Faustian deals, psychic visions, and alien life forms. They might seem silly, but Renwick knows how to hook you. How can I not want to find out whether a Karloff-looking corpse with six bullets in its head crawled up a flight of stairs or how a former pin-up girl was seen walking to church six hours after she went into a coma? The solutions are so ridiculously convoluted there's no way to figure them out before Jonathan does and there aren't enough clues within the hour to make the answer satisfying. During the last five minutes of any episode, my jaw would be hanging at a funny angle as I tried to make sense of the over-the-top lengths the murderer went to.
The mysteries are the weakest part of season three, so thank heavens for cast chemistry. By now, Quentin and Davies have their double-act down to a science so even when they're spinning out the coincidence-heavy solutions their back and forth keeps things fizzy. It's much more fun seeing Jonathan roped into meeting his fanclub-a group of nerds with curly hair and matching coats-or putting up with a know-it-all reporter who spoils all of his magic tricks. Boisterous Maddy gets the most laughs because Caroline Quentin knows how to work an inflection to get the most out of her lines. Even the subplots involving Jonathan's sleazy boss wind up being more entertaining than the final outcome of each episode, despite the actor's annoying Anglo-American accent.
Of course, with any male/female partnership on television, it's only a matter of time before there's a hook-up, and Maddy and Jonathan finally take the plunge late in the season. Renwick doesn't make a big deal out of the moment and keeps up the antagonistic interaction between the two for the rest of the season, but, since Caroline Quentin left the series after this set of episodes, the change has no real impact.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
For episodes that aired in 1999, Jonathan Creek sure looks like crap. While some scenes have sharp blacks, perfect color balance, and a spotless transfer, others from the same episode are fuzzy with a bad case of the jaggies. There are whole stretches in "Miracle in Crooked Lane" that have a watery green tint that reminds me of the early days of online fandom, when screen captures were photos people took of their TV screens.
Closing Statement
Jonathan Creek: Season 3 is one of those series you enjoy once, but it won't do much for you on future viewings. The first two thirds of every episode are twisty and entertaining, but the homestretch is a sleight of hand that always leaves you hanging. What's the fun of a mystery that makes no sense?
The Verdict
The magician's assistant made my verdict disappear. No fair!
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Jonathan Creek: Season Three a fair trial? yes / no

Lucca Tourist Trap Tips by illudiumqh36 Top 5 Page for this destination
Lucca Tourist Traps: 12 reviews and 25 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
From Spring to Autumn it could happens to see some horse carts bringing tourists on the Walls and around the main squares of the city.
Well, this is, in my opinion, a big trap... it's not necessary to take a vehicle to have a tour of Lucca: the Walls are only 4 Km long and, for all the beauties they have inside, you should stop and take a picture every 100 mt; moreover the lanes are so narrow that for a tourist could be uncomfortable even a bike.
Last but not least...I don't know exactly the prices, but I think it is far from cheap to take a horse cart for an hour or more.
Fun Alternatives: If you need to be fast take a bike for Walls and main squares and go on foot for lanes.

I bought two of these and they are side-by-side on a single door. So we don't want to slam the door open because one is very close to the wall when you do it that way. That said, I love these!! They were the perfect solution to a small bathroom in a vacation cabin with almost no storage space. Everyone gets their own basket. All of my guests loved them. They allowed everyone to keep their shampoos, etc. close without leaving them in the very small shower. Highly recommended!

Bought it for my wife's birthday and she really loved it. Very sturdy and easy on the eye!!

I set Blog pages show at most to 10, but since I upgraded to 3.5, wordpress only display 1 blog post.
Anyone can help me with this issue please
Since this is well known to work well with default theme and no plugins...Try that first...Works?
So I need to desactivate every plugins and install a default theme !?
I can't really do that,, my client wont let me do... Is there a fix ?
Can you set up a test site, perhaps using WAMP or a hidden sub-domain? There are many methods to test sites prior to going live, in fact I strongly recommend doing so.
Check your theme and your plugins compatibility with this version of WP. If one is not compatible, seek an alternative or contact theme/plugin dev.
my client wont let me
Does your client want a working site? S/he needs to understand that there is no magic bullet in these situations. This is just the start of basic troubleshooting - a process of elimination deliberately designed to locate the root cause as quickly as possible by first removing the most obvious and common culprits via a series of (often) temporary steps.
Well stated, esmi!
They gave me access to their DEV today, and with the same theme/WP version, they dont have the problem.. Ill use DB Dumb and install a WP on my computer,,, will be easier to debug.

Agree w/copyrider...this is the bastard ad that weakens the campaign. I'd say scrap this one. There's plenty of other successful ideas/scenarios out there. (i.e.-a photo of The Beatles when Pete Best was still their drummer)...I dunno. You'll get it...You're Saatchi & Saatchi for F-sake.
