What I would like is to have a user fill out a form with name and URL. That url is put into the database where it needs to be approved by admin. Once approved, it adds it to the page.
Has anyone seen any plugins like this?
Right now, I use an email form, then have to add the links manually. Really painful process for more than 10 links. I use Link Manager and the Custom-Contact-Form plugin
If anyone knows how to edit the Custom-Contact-Form plugin to make it write to the database, that would be a step in the write direction. Or any customizable form that can write to the database.

does anyone know how to make custom comment error page.
Because when people don't fill all required fields in the comment form, they receive a page with WordPress logo and text such as "Error: please fill the required fields (name, email)."
But not all of them understand that the system is based on WordPress and when they see the WordPress logo they are confused. They see any similarities with previous site.
thanks for help jm

Anyone who's been handcuffed to their seat by an air marshal before being deposited at the nearest airport and forced to stand naked on one leg in their own blood in a stifling jail a cell for three days knows that alcohol and altitude don't mix. It's a lesson we all end up learning.
Happily, I learnt it the easy way while mountain training in Nepal.
At 4,500ft above sea level, running in the Kathmandu valley allegedly affords athletes the opportunity to build an unusually high concentration of red blood cells. The air's thinner, you see, and that's the body's way of compensating for the scarcity of oxygen. The idea is that when the runner returns to his or her sea level home (Brighton in my case), performance improves for 10-15 days. Now this might be inexcusable crap but, ever the corner-cutter, I thought I'd give it a whirl. At the very least I'd see some nice hills.
And, as an early aside to this post, here they are. Captured by my own fair iPhone.
Operation red blood cell: the results
I tend to run 10k two or three times a week and I record my times with this here Nike running app.
So, comparing my fastest weekly times for 10k in the run-up to Kathmandu with those during and after, I was able to test the theory. Here's what I found.
Yes, that's right. I've done the altitude training and I've not been this piss poor at running for weeks. I'm not even at square one. Baffled, I looked back through my holiday snaps. Was there some subtle clue hiding among them as to my drop in form?
Nope. Nothing.
So I compiled a second graph, this time comparing my 10k times to my 'fuel' intake (i.e. food and drink) – just in case there had been a change in behaviour I had not spotted. And that's when I detected something.
Using the scientific method, I had unearthed evidence that beer might have played a factor in my downfall. Looking back, it makes sense. What I haven't mentioned so far in this post is that my brother, Frankie, was my host. He is a foreign correspondent, international jetsetter and one of Kathmandu's most notorious residents. Frankie won't mind me telling you he prefers trepanning to drinking his Merrydown and is up till the small hours most nights working on his new invention – a sherry that is 103% alcohol.
Needless to say, we mixed training with leisure and that, ladies and gents, is why I'm now as mobile as a plate of shepherd's pie with six weeks to go until my triathlon.
Triathlon, you say?
Oh yes, I'm competing in the Brighton Marina Triathlon on September 23rd in aid of the Royal National Institute of Blind People. Please sponsor me here, even if it's only a fiver!
When you commit to doing something you weren't built for, it can be enriching. In fact, I would go so far as to say it can nourish the soul. This morning, as you can see from my tweet, was one of those times:
Lovely run this morning just before sunrise. Really bright, warm and still and no cars. These runs, I think, are what running is all about.
— Michael Taggart (@michael_taggart) March 23, 2012
Equally, it can be lonely and desolate. I'm lucky because Mrs Taggart, a qualified personal trainer, is providing the support and arse-kicking I need (she claims she's finally penned my training schedule, although I'm one of those people who needs to have empirical evidence of the existence of something before I'm prepared to believe it's real).
Many people don't have that support. Which is why, I think, that when you're running for a charity, especially a big, well-resourced charity, they should do what they can to give you a leg up.
The Royal National Institute for Blind People goes way further. As you'll see from the picture above (taken this morning) – they've sent me a vest to compete in. There was also a pack with fundraising tips and some bumph about what they do, which has inspired me a bit and made me remember why I want to help them. Not only that – but it provides useful facts that I can deploy to blackmail you lot into sponsoring me (it only takes a minute here).
Facts like:
The pack came with training tips, case studies and – my favourite part – some letters to iron onto my vest 🙂
I received an unsolicited email of support and a even a phone call from a fundraising manager. How nice is that? How did they even know my number?
It's these little things that make you feel appreciated, make you feel part of a team and drive you on to try and raise as much money as you can. They even have a great Facebook page, where you can connect with other fundraisers and they'll (sometimes) retweet your tweets if you mention them.
Top work RNIB!
P.S. If you're wondering how my training's going, I'm still on schedule half a month through it, slowly increasing distances and circuits. Mrs Taggart tells me I've got TWO training sessions today!
I'm competing in the Brighton Marina Triathlon in September for the RNIB. Please sponsor me here and make life a little easier for a blind person.
Did six miles at lunchtime today, three of them in Regent's Park, and wondered whether it would be uncomfortable doing a triathlon in a bunny costume (we've been discussing Easter-themed marketing at work).
Last night, I hit St Ann's Well Gardens with Mrs Taggart again for star jumps and press ups. Regular readers are probably wondering if Mrs T, a qualified personal trainer, has penned my training schedule yet.
No, she has not.
That's it. Read this instead – it's far more entertaining.
Better still sponsor me and make life easier for a blind person. I'm doing the Brighton Marina Triathon in September for the Royal National Institute for Blind People.
It's day five and my training schedule has taken me deep into the concrete jungle.
That's right, I've been elbowing my way through the dense soup of buskers, chuggers, beggers, preachers, pushers, hawkers, walkers, bikers, and bingers that congeals on London's pavements most lunchtimes.
You see, when Mrs Taggart, a qualified personal trainer, finally gets round to writing my training schedule (no hurry, my wuvwy, wickle wugglebunny xxx), it will probably contain exercise on most days.
I'll need not only to get fit – but to get fit three times in three different ways so I can compete in a swim, a cycle and a run all on the same day. Which, at the moment, seems only mildly less tricky than triplicating myself and doing all three at once.
This means I'll need to pack as much training as possible into each week. And, with the cycling and swimming necessarily having to be chalked off at weekends, this necessitates either running in the dark (i.e. very early or late at home in Brighton) or running during work in London.
So there I was yesterday afternoon, manfully bounding through piles of dog puke and empty bottles of Buckfast wine as I pondered the feasibility of lunchtime running in a metropolis as a minor plank of my training strategy.
Central London is peculiar and small. You can literally be running by a grand old museum near a genteel and green square one minute, the next you're in a scene from The Wire, then, a moment later, you're being chased up Europe's busiest shopping street by a homicidal bus driver in his death wagon.
Yes, it almost feels like dashing through the back gardens of twenty very, very different family homes. And, while it is small, there are simply too many humans crawling around the capital's bolt holes and crevices.
Side-stepping within a cigarette paper's width of a fully-laden outdoor dining table in Mayfair, I steamed forward toward the heaving, swaying crowds at Covent Garden Market. Finally, I arrived back at the office, slammed the door behind me and leaned against it as if holding out the Wolfman.
Lunchtime running in London will never be dull but is it to be continued? Well, it'll have to be. There aren't enough hours in a week for the strategy to be written off. I think I'll find a nice park next time though.
I'm competing in the Brighton Marina Triathlon in September in aid of the Royal National Institute of Blind People. Please, please sponsor me at my Justgiving page.
If you've exercised in the evening you'll know that kick you get from beating the bulge and generally #winning after a tiring day.
But for me, the real benefit is that slide into a different mental gear as the rhythms of your brain become soothingly consonant.
I suppose it's what we mean by being "in the zone" and it gives you time to think about things you don't normally think about.
Tonight as we ran towards St Ann's Well Gardens (for star jumps and press ups, since you're interested), my wife and I remarked on two bright stars hanging in the misty sky, a formation we'd both subconsciously dismissed at various points during the previous few days.
It looked like a distant star coming into line with a planet, which was much too bright to be another star – and it turned out I was half right.
I went straight onto Google when we got home. Venus and Jupiter are to pass each other in a 'close encounter' in the night sky over the next few nights – they're actually hundreds of millions of miles apart. You'll be able to see the spectacle just after dusk for the next few evenings in the western sky – more on that here.
The star jumps were even more spectacular.
I'm running a triathlon for the Royal National Institute for Blind People in September. Please sponsor me at my Justgiving page.
Okay, so I realise how tedious training blogs usually are. But would you bear with me on a daily basis for the next six months while I indulge myself?
I'm doing a triathlon in September for the Royal National Institute of Blind People. My first training session was supposed to be this morning but the pub got in my way as I was walking home from work last night so I had to make adjustments to my schedule.
I realise I'll have to watch out for this sort of thing.
See? Already learning. Tomorrow, I'll start running.
Please sponsor me. Or tell someone else to. Or both.
We can do this thing.
Fank you.

Giardello's right hand was every bit as good as Hopkins's, IMO. His jab might be the key factor here. Otherwise they utilized a somewhat similar stance, with Joey's left hand being a tad lower for the most part. They squared up the same way, with a slight tilt favoring their backfoot in order to offset the opponent's punching target and put themselves in a better position to counter, often with that right hand they both liked so much. Both were very good ring generals, so I think it would start off as a battle of wits that would've turned into a bit of an inside s**** and everything in between. They're so evenly matched that we'd probably see a little bit of it all from both of them in order to gain that edge. In the end, Joey's higher workrate and more consistent jab may've given him the slight edge. Hop's size/strength advantage may've given him an edge in close, though, even if Joey was every bit as cagey in there. Very tough call.

Easy to Be Harden
Rich Harden just hit five years of MLB service time this past Sunday.
Why is that important?
Because Harden signed his current contract in April 2005 under the old CBA, he retains the arcane right to demand a trade after this season. That's because under the rules of the previous CBA, if a player is signed to a multi-year contract and has accrued at least five years of MLB service time when he is traded to another club, the player has the right to demand a trade during the post-World Series Free-Agency Filing Period that follows the season during which he is traded.
If Harden does choose to exercise his option to demand a trade after the 2008 season, and the Cubs don't trade him by March 15, 2009, he can become a totally unrestricted FA at that time (player option), although by exercising the option to be a FA under the aforementioned circumstances, Harden would be giving up his $7M salary for 2009 and the Cubs wouldn't owe him anything past this season.
However, Harden will likely take this track only if he feels he can get more than $7M on the open market post-2008 (which he almost certainly would) and/or if he feels the Cubs are unlikely to offer him a contract extension post-2009 (still TBD).
So if the Cubs had acquired Harden this past Saturday instead of waiting until yesterday, they would absolutely control the rights to Rich Harden through the 2009 season ($7M salary in 2009), with a nice convenient club option (with no buy-out) following the 2008 season in case Harden blows out his shoulder or elbow before the end of the season.
But by waiting to acquire Harden until after he had accrued five seasons of MLB Service Time, the Cubs gave Harden the leverage to either force the Cubs to trade him post-2008, or else give him the option to be a FA one year earlier than he otherwise would have been eligible (but with no compensation draft picks).
Of course the Cubs could always decline their $7M club option for 2009 before Harden has a chance to demand a trade, making Harden eligible for arbitration post-2008. But the Cubs are unlikely to do that unless they are fairly sure that Harden intends to exercise his right to demand a trade, because there is no way he gets less than $7M in arbitration. But if Harden were to sustain a significant shoulder or elbow injury sometime before the conclusion of the 2008 season, the Cubs probably would opt to decline their 2009 club option and non-tender him on 12/12 (as they did with Mark Prior last year).
As a further ado and a point to begin thinking about roster moves into the All-Star Break and beyond, here is the updated projected post-2008 and Spring Training 2009 roster, contract, and option status for the 39 Cubs players presently on the 40-man roster and the one on the 60-day DL, and the updated lists of Cubs minor leaguers who are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft in December and those who will be eligible to be minor league free-agents after the conclusion of the World Series:

Re: Easy to Be Harden
well ain't that a bit of a kick in the pants...
but as you noted, if he demands his trade during the FA period, the Cubs can just not pick up his option and have to pay him a little more (I'd guess in the $10MM range).
Re: Easy to Be Harden
Arizona Phil.....it looks like the bats have come alive for the AZL Cubs this past week. With all the roster moves going on because of trades,have you heard who is moving up to Boise besides Kemp? Flores,Ridling,and Opitz moved on up to Peoria leaving three vacancies in Boise.Is there any news at all from Mesa? Thanks
Dwayne Kemp, son of Adonis
Is there any news at all from Mesa?
this is from the Boise Hawks website:
Former Boise Hawks catcher, Josh Donaldson, was one of the four members of the Chicago Cubs sent to the Oakland Athletics as part of a blockbuster six-player trade, announced yesterday by Major League Baseball.
The move has also filtered down to the Hawks, who made multiple roster moves prior to leaving for their five-game series in Eugene.
Catcher Luis Flores, along with first-baseman Rebel Ridling, and second-baseman Jake Opitz, were all promoted to the Peoria Chiefs in the Midwest League. Of the three, Ridling's departure will hurt the Hawks the most, as he ranks among the Northwest League's best in batting average, home runs, doubles, and RBI.
The Hawks, however, will have one player join their club from the rookie-level Mesa Cubs, middle-infielder Dwayne Kemp. Kemp, from Rotterdam, Netherlands, hit .283 this season in Mesa, after being signed by the Cubs out of Major League Baseball's European Academy. His father, Adonis, played for the Dutch baseball team in the 1996 Olympics.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
If he demanded a trade, wouldn't the Cubs just trade him? I mean, assuming he's healthy and has pitched well the rest of the season, I would think some team would rather trade to get him at $7mil than compete for his services on the open market. I don't see how Rich could leverage the trade demand into more money.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
Couldn't this be the very reason the A's finally let go of him? Better to be assured something now than gamble later on his leaving and a pick. Good stuff, AZ Phil. Haven't heard this mentioned anywhere else.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
I believe the only way he can exercise his right to demand a trade is if he has already been traded to another team. So, if I'm reading correctly, he wouldn't be able to demand a trade if the A's had kept him.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
I don't believe this is true for the case of Harden. Doesn't he have to pitch a certain amount of innings to have the season qualify for his major league service? In '06 he pitched 46.2 innings and in '07 he pitched only 25.2 innings. I can't believe that 7 games in '07 qualified him for a year of service.
According to Cot's he only has 4.074 years of ML service to date.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
He had 4.074 entering the 2008 season, he has since accumulated the 100 or so days of service time this season to go over 5 (I believe 172 or 180 days makes a fully year). DL time counts towards service time.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
If that is true that at most he would be at 3/4 of a season. With that giving him roughly 4.8 years of service at the time of the trade. So that is still under the 5 years that is being talked about. And with Hendry talking about having him under control for a year and a half I'm sure he has looked into it. I can't imagine with everyone looking into it before the trade that they would miss something like that. I am sure there was a fleet of contract lawyers looking over everything.
Re: Easy to Be Harden
Fleet of contract lawyers = 5% of one Arizona Phil
Re: Easy to Be Harden
what AZ Phil said (and I said)....
172 service days = 1 year of service time.
when you see 4.074 as a player's service time that means 4 years and 74 days. When you get to 172, you flip the year.
or what AZ Phil said...
Re: Easy to Be Harden
I guess the question here then would be when does a trade officially take place? Is it when it is filed with the league office? If that is the case, is it possible the trade was filed at an earlier day before the deal was confirmed to the press?
Re: Easy to Be Harden
I don't know when it became offical but the press release was dated 7/8.
Jason Dubois?
I must have missed his returning to the Cub fold. Did this happen before the season?
Re: Easy to Be Harden
I'm borderline shocked the Cubs haven't called up Dubois (or even Hop) since Soriano will be out at least another couple of weeks - he would definitely be an offensive boost in left field compared to Reed. Do we really need 13 pitchers on the roster?
Re: Easy to Be Harden
PHIL: Thanks for the reply- that makes sense, clearly if you call up Dubois you're doing it to keep him for the duration of the season - I was lamenting the fact that Fukudome basically has become a slap hitter, not knowing how much more we can get out of Edmonds and Soriano being a constant health concern, having a power bat in the outfield as a PH and spot starter would be very helpful and Dubois's numbers in ~40 games at Iowa are sick. Our PH options off the bench these days don't bring fear into opposing pitchers to say the least.

Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.

Love reading you as much as ever.
The headline is misleading as this article is not about Team America: World Police.
For anyone who'd like to explore this topic further, you can find answers to questions at the Nonhuman Rights Project website...here's the Q&A page: http://www.nonhumanrightsproject.org/qa-ab…
Very funny!
Oh please it seems your review is trying to show you have a higher than average standard for criticism of films than others but I find it is precisely to impress others.I find your review of The Man Who Knew Infinity, quite harsh, especially when other comments from around the world have reviewed it and have such a high regard for this film. Your suggestion that the English language he was using in the film is not the one the real person would use is shallow criticism at best.
Totally agree that this movie was less than successful. Nice to see another critic who didn't shower it with (undeserved) praise.
Oh my God, you are incredible! You're so right about this film! It's not trying to have a terrific story or complex characters, it's trying to be an adrenaline-filled, immersive, fun thrill ride and it succeeds on every level, and THAT'S why it's a GREAT movie! I love movie critics like you, people who really understand that there's more to appreciate in a film than just plots and character arcs.
I came all the way from Rotten Tomatoes to tell you that you completely misinterpreted this film.
This is a terrible, terrible review. Notable inaccuracies indicate the reviewer either wasn't paying attention.
In no way does Winstead's character resemble the "manic pixie dream girl" character type. Our reviewer apparently read a buzz phrase on the internet and thought it would make this piece sound hip. Winstead is the protagonist, for crying out loud.
In no way is Goodman's character a revival of his "Barton Fink" persona. (What movie did this reviewer watch?) It is in fact the inverse. His character in BF is a back-slapping, glad-handing everyman with a well-masked dark side. His character here is a paranoid, demanding taskmaster who visibly labors to keep his ever-present rage from manifesting at all times. One of these guys you'd like to have dinner with, the other one -- not a chance.
And finally -- yes, it *is* a spoiler to reveal to one's readers how the a turns out. By letting everyone know the ultimate nature of Goodman's character, you rob them of the considerable tension that carries the entire second act. That reveal doesn't work for this reviewer? Fine. It's petty and unprofessional to then ruin it for the readers.
The overwhelmingly positive score at RottenTomatoes indicates that audiences and critics alike are enjoying this "piece of garbage movie." This reviewer is either smarter than everyone in the room, or she doesn't know what she's talking about. I wonder which it might be.
Sorry Molly...this movie was the worst one I have seen for many years...my wife wanted to turn on her phone to play solitaire and I was bored to death.
A good, insightful review that gets at the heart of what, for me, didn't quite work about the movie but which I couldn't quite put my finger on. That it took an easy path explains a lot of gaps that ended up making the film more mainstream and less courageously indy. That said, both stars are indeed that. You feel in them a shared commitment to the material, as well as a connection between them that goes far beyond what's asked of them on the page.
"Pixels creates a world where the citizens willingly elected Paul Blart, Mall Cop as president, and yet I'm expected to root for these people in their fight against the aliens."
Hahaa! You're sensational. I put in a few similar cents at Rottentomatoes: Only morbid curiosity and a dark, pathological need to punish myself via cinema compelled me to watch "Pixels". Don't get me wrong, when I see a preview for a hot new comedy starring Adam Sandler AND Kevin James, two comedic actors about as funny as a mime at an execution, I jump out of my seat & order tickets six months in advance like the next guy. But every time yet another one gets greenlit, funded and produced my faith in humanity dies just a little bit.
Should we assume that every woman in a man-dominated field is "relying" on the "novelty" of their "gender?"
Sub question: Assuming the alternative, that some women may not be relying on the novelty of their gender, how do these women go about convincing readers like you?
Perhaps the solution is to either force women to be interested in such positions, or to have them acquire desirable skills and experience rather than rely on the "novelty" of their gender.
Props for the pitch-perfect takedown! I've watched Hou's films before and lord, are they slow-moving. It's nice to read a reviewer that isn't intimidated to say this isn't her thing.
This film blew me away. I also got a Malick feel (although I disagree with your assertion that Malick is boring. Philistine!). The cinematographer, Lubezki, did work on Tree of Life, so maybe that's where that feeling comes from. Good review.
All of which is a long way of saying, "The usual Disney crap."
I hope it comes to Kalispell...would love to see it!
I had a problem with it too.I also have problems with Pynchon's novels so I wasn't surprised.V is the only one I've read straight through.Twice as a matter of fact.Your review didn't help me much either. I guess Pynchon just isn't for me even though I envy him down to my little toe for studying with Nabokov at Cornell when I might have audited a lecture now and then.Just jealousy I suppose.
I did love The Master beyond belief.So here's a link to my review of it for you.Hope it goes through.http://moviesandfilm.blogspot.com/2013/03/… Read the comments as my friend from Bosnia wrote most of the insightful ones.
Turner has a long slow contemplative sense of time.It is that moment in history where industrialization - capitalism - is just beginning.Turner is acutely aware of this as he watches the smoke from a ship among smaller ones with sails. When we see him seeing the train, the smoke, the lovely undulations in it and a smoke ring as a touch of aesthetic humor, we see the paradox of the destruction of the landscape it will make in the future, and also the beauty if you allow yourself time to contemplate, an experience that is leaving humans very quickly.I guess this is what I like so much about your writing Molly, your determination to continue to contemplate and write from that perception.It is a lovely gift to your readers and one worth keeping for yourself.
I studied with John McCoubrey at one time. An art historian of the 20th century who was the recognized Turner specialist.You might want to find his book at the library. It is a gem.He himself was a romantic in his perception and a generous man with his mind, a perfect biographer for Turner, an often crude man.

Harris v Watson
|Harris v Watson
|King's Bench Division
|Court membership
|Judge(s) sitting
|Lord Kenyon
|Consideration, Public Policy
Harris v. Watson was a 1791 case regarding sailors' wages.
The plaintiff was a seaman on board the ship Alexander, of which the defendant was master and commander. The Alexander was bound on a voyage to Lisbon, and whilst the ship was on her voyage the defendant, in consideration that the plaintiff would perform some extra work in navigating the ship, promised to pay him five guineas over and above his common wages. The plaintiff proved that the ship had been in danger and that the commander, to induce the seamen to exert themselves had made the promise stated in the declaration.
The issue was whether the reformation of the contract was enforceable.
The reformation of the contract to provide extra wages in exchange for extra work under exigent circumstances was not enforceable for public policy reasons. If such an agreement were enforceable it would enable sailors to act opportunistically while at sea.
Lord Kenyon at 103:
If this action was to be supported, it would materially affect the navigation of this kingdom. It has been long since determined, that when the freight is lost, the wages are also lost. This rule was founded on a principle of policy, for if sailors were in all events to have their wages, and in times of danger entitled to insist on an extra charge on such a promise as this, they would in many cases suffer a ship to sink, unless the captain would pay any extravagant demand they might think proper to make.
This article incorporates text from Harris v. Watson, a publication from 1791 now in the public domain in the United States.

Granny's Garden School was founded in 2002 by a grandmother with a vision to create teaching gardens at Loveland Primary School where her grandchildren were in the first and second grades. The program took off and today is one of the largest and most comprehensive programs of its kind in the country. Video – Introduction to Granny's Garden School
The program is in four schools, three in Loveland and one (Stewart Elementary) in the Princeton School District. We developed 160 vegetable gardens, lots of flower gardens and three nature trails that we use in teaching 2,000, Pk-4th grade students each week.
Then we provide the infrastructure, garden educators, volunteers and other support personnel, integrated curriculum and project management to make it possible for classroom teachers to make use of this valuable resource. All of this at no charge to the school districts.
Along the way, Granny's was also the inspiration for a number of garden programs in this area, including The Rothenberg Roof Gardens in Over the Rhine and others throughout the region and across the country. Next Educator Training, June 6th – 10th. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Very pleased with my experience. Dr. Burghli is knowledgeable and caring. She took her time explaining everything to me and answered all my questions.
I'm a nurse and because of that I'm very picky about which doctors I go to. A friend of mine, who is also a nurse, recommended Dr.Burghli to me. I've had acne treatments as well as laser hair removal and have never been happier. My skin looks amazing!!
I tried laser hair removal in 2 other places in NYC that were fair. This practice by comparison is excellent. The staff is curtious and the doctor is very accomedating and kind. She tells you all of the options and guides you to choose the best treatment course. Also, the place is spotless. I highly recommend it.
In college, I came to a point I could no longer deal with my facial hair problems and turned to laser. I earned every dollar that went to laser, working hours and spent thousands of dollars which I would later find out would go to waste. I trusted my doctor. Her sympathy and understanding sold me. She said I'd get rid of my facial hair with between 4-8 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. After a the second or third treatment I noticed the hairs were thicker, but I was in denial. I continued to get treatment from her, and she continued to provide it without any guidance nor concern for my condition. Her words, however, were kind and knowledge fair. I trusted her. Little did I know, or did SHE know that there were studies upon studies about laser hair removal induced growth on certain skin types. This has been absolutely devastating for me as I experienced incredibly thick hair growth on my face. Knowing the devastation that this could cause on someones life should have given her the slightest motivation to inform her customers. She has ruined my ability to trust in medical professionals ever again. Now I am only left with sleepless nights and anxiety about how I am to live my life confidently.
I went to her for laser hair removal and was so pleased with the experience I had other skin treatments done with her. The results have been great.

Just like with stocks, you have to know when to sell high and avoid buying what they call a falling dagger. that is Polian here. You might buy him on name alone but his value is nowhere near what it once was. I want a guy alot like what Atlanta has. A scout junkie who rose up thru the ranks who knows talent.

Paula White has a brand new show, and it's called, "Just Paula." It premieres on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, at 9:00 p.m. on TBN. To be honest, if this video is any indicator, it looks like a mixture of reality show and ministry. Still too soon to tell. This is just another avenue for Paula White to spread more Word of Faith false doctrine. Please pray for everyone in her path, that they would not be deceived by her and that they would open their eyes and reject her brand of prosperity false gospel.
28 thoughts on "Paula White's New Show"
Lady D
What's wrong with being "just" a wife and mother????????? And what's wrong with her lips???
The title 'Just Paula' says it all: it is all about Paula White. Not about Jesus…
Will she ever repent and make a program with the title 'Just Jesus'? I fear she is to deceived to see the truth, but may be God will show her mercy and open her eyes.
Kurt Michaelson
This is an example of the church trying to become like the world, when it should be the world desiring to become like the church. Paula White is no example of the church either, but this reality type show is ridiculous. What is it that she is aiming to prove – that's she's just like everyone else?
Maybe this is a way for her to try and tap into the reality tv market, to help fund herself a little more, probably because she's not earning enough at WWIC or on TBN.
@Lady D – she's probably had some collagen injections and probably has been getting them on a regular basis too. Her lips were never like that 5 years ago.

A wise pastor once told be, "Be wary of any ministry that bears the preacher's name". Good advice I think.
This woman is perhaps the scariest of all the 'money preachers'. Her hand and body movements and her flimsy message of prosperity are straight out of 'Marjoe'. Catch a glimpse sometime of her in her tight dresses and 4″ spiked heels telling her sheeple about Jesus….it's laughable that anyone could sit and listen to the trash she teaches. Really, what surprises me is the number of folks that keep falling for this same old tired prosperity/wealth message. The only reason these liars can sleep at night is because they have no conscience.
I've heard Paula say that "Jesus was not the 'only' begotten son of God." WHAT! That settled it for me. She is clearly a beautiful, sweet, motivational, inspiring FALSE TEACHER.
Many years ago, I went to a women's retreat with a friend where Paula was the speaker. She was a fashion statement then and she is a fashion statement now. If you try to emulate Paula, you will end up like her;
-spouting her WOF doctrine,
-humbly describing some supernatural meeting with Jesus or detailing an encounter with an angel,
-entertaining with an enviable demonstration of dramatics
-more diva than you have money for.
Interesting to see the before and the after. Now she is a little more professional, a little more smooth and polished with a glittering presence. Just remember: everything that glitters is not gold. Her teachings are saturated with Word of "Your" Faith sentiment…"your" decisions design your destiny, "you" can have have what "you" say, "your" reality will be what "you" take authority over…etc. There is no reconciling these doctrines with submission to the will of God or to the Word of God.
Once again, there is the true and there is the counterfeit. If you have counterfeit teachings you will have counterfeit reality. The trials will be real, but the solutions will be completely worldly, fleshly and destructive to your faith. Instead of trials serving the purpose of driving you toward the Lord, you will be driven toward visions of personal grandeur, into systems mammon of and onto the stages of the world.
1 Peter 1:7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Let me snatch you from the fire, my friend…while there is still time…and if you don't know where that's found, you need to stop listening to Paula and start reading your Bible.
Paula White, the queen of self-reinvention

It's all about her-I watched about 45 seconds and had to stop the video as the video oozed ickiness
@mkayla – well said! It's not that dowdiness or frumpiness is the mark we should be aiming for, but by the time we reach celebrity style we are way past the Biblical model of "modest"and well into self absorption…but of course, that is WOF doctrine in a nutshell, isn't it?
@Grant…is ickiness even a Word? ….just spent 45 sec. looking it up in the dictionary. It is and once again…I am impressed by your sophisticated and graphic use of the English language.
I thought of the word icky after hearing the adams family theme song
"they're all together icky"
Rev's Kate & Rich M.
Girls, girls, girls–very funny! K
Paula is absolutely right, it is just Paula. Pity.!!!
I think I meant to say ooky
Did anyone hear how she asked that one lady if being a wife and mother is all she thinks God has for her. She makes it sound as though that is not a very important or fulfilling calling. I think it a most holy calling!!
Rev's Kate & Rich M.
Carolyn, sista girl– The Addams Family, precisely–on Broadway, now–wish you and your hubby were here–we could tear-up NYC. I cracked up at that post–you are too funny!
There's some very funny people on this site and if I need a laugh and a lift (and I don't mean plastic surgery), I just click on Slaughter and know this site always delivers.
Praise God for you guys! K
Rev's Kate & Rich M.
Hey! I forgot to wish all you mothers out there a Happy Mom's Day–so let me know, give me some details as to how you spent your day, would love to know.
Talk to you soon, K
PS–Kiwi, looks as though Auckland had a ferocious tornado–how you doin', and Beracah, are you enjoying the other part of the world?
Ok, now when that theme song goes around in your head – don't forget the finger snaps!
A church I frequent (sorta-kinda) had a women's conference last week titled "Healing, Dreams, and Prophecy". The "stars" of the show were Barbie Breathitt, Joan Hunter & Paulette Reed. I say stars because they were not there with a servant attitude. The day before they flew in, they emailed a list of demands (rock stars, anyone?) to the Pastor, who wasn't expecting such a thing. They choose the songs for "worship" and pretty much demanded they were in charge of the show. If something went wrong, it was as if the world would end right there. They brought all their books, dream cards, jewelry, and other assorted Jesus junk to sell. Knowing who and what Barbie is (thanks to this site), I stayed away – I don't need mystical trash coming into my spirit. My husband wanted me to go to see what the devil is up too….no good. He's up to no good. Now sweet little Paula has her own show. She had to get her lips done!! Don't you understand – her own show! This Diva caught the spotlight – for at least five minutes. But, there is coming a day when we all shall stand (I think I'll faint) before the Father. These folks need prayer that they would come to repentance before that day – the Bible doesn't call it "great and terrible" for nothing!
Denise Smith
In Genesis, we learn that God formed Eve, to be a "suitable help-meet" for Adam…then, the two of them were told to "be fruitful"…
Paula : "Do you think God created you, just so you would be a wife and mother?
I see that Sister Paula didn't let a little trip to the Vatican with Brother Hinn slow her down. No sir……the sister's got it going on…..and if you don't believe it, just look at the gazillion pictures of her in the photo gallery on her website. Has she confused ministry with a Vogue Magazine photo shoot? Talk about narcissistic………
This pathetic woman wants to be a movie star/celebrity/model/starlet/centerfold, not a minister of the Gospel. Miss "Barbie" White needs to just get it out of her system and move to Hollywood. However, she does have a problem. She's just a little too old for Hugh Hefner. I guess 'ole Paula missed that part in the New Testament about modesty……..probably too busy making donations to the Vatican.
What is going on with women in so-called Christian ministry? Plastic surgery, botox, tummy tucks, peroxide, tight jeans, six-inch heels, cleavage, etc. etc. Most of them look as though they belong in a casino, not in a church. Just look how Joyce Meyer now dresses on stage in her "tight-fitting" jeans, complete with "tight-fitting" tops. It's ridiculous and it's certainly not modest according to Biblical interpretation. Narcissists on parade……..
Kiwi Dave
Well, now we have the TBN, WoF/NAR version, parallell or equivalent to this show from Warner Brothers Show right here:
Wonder if Benny is still seeing her?
Rev's Kate & Rich M.
Magnolia–that was quite a post– some good points; don't bite too hard though as we have enough wolves out there to do that.
Joyce is looking pretty good, to my observation, for a 67-68 year old, or so, woman.
We women-folk need to take care of ourselves and remain healthy into older age; watch our cholesterol and keep our bones strong and our minds alert and clear; be attractive to our husbands as they should be for us.
If we are single, be beautiful and healthy as unto the Lord and work diligently to bring the lost to salvation–be an encouragement to the Body of Christ.
I haven't seen her dress inappropriately–she appears fashionable–I appreciate that; there's no cleavage revealing clothes, as I can tell.
However, I do not approve of immodest clothing–believer or not.
Some Christian denominations may find anything short of a burka as distasteful.
**PS– Re: May 21st –hey guys, if you are in a different time zone today, or happen to be in tomorrow as per the International Dateline–are you guys already gone–am I still here–somebody let me know!
"Just a hot mess"better describes it to me! This is just another gimmick and side hustle to maintain the lavish life style she has grown accustomed to. The economy is preventing the sheeple from just torment over their hard earned money anymore some have actually woke up to the game! Dont hate lol….Lsdy P is just getting her paper right, besides its hard out here for a pulpit pimpette!

"The first and most important step toward reducing risks is to acknowledge that the potential for an incident exists in any school district in the nation."
Kenneth Trump, "Proactive School Security and Emergency Preparedness Planning"
"Technology is not a magic bullet. If you have a computer but you don't have the content and you don't have teachers who know how to design good classes - it's not going to make a difference."
-President Obama, speaking at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington, D.C. on March 28.
Following the publication of a 2004 report by the Alliance for Excellent Education (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004), the topic of adolescent literacy emerged as an issue of concern. It recently has received increased attention thanks to the latest round of studies and calls for additional federal funding (Cassidy, Valadez, Garrett, & Barrera, 2010).
At its most fundamental level, literacy represents the ability to read, write and communicate. Unfortunately, too many adolescents lack the literacy skills necessary to navigate the reading and writing requirements of high school and the future world in which they will work and live.
Based on percentage of funding increase, the big winner in President Obama's proposed 2010 education budget is Striving Readers, which is slated to go from $35 million to $370 million.
This program was designed to reach students in grades 4-12 whose literacy skills were significantly below grade level. Such students were not eligible for Reading First, a Department of Education program for students in grades K-3.
Motivation is often cited as an important factor in students' becoming proficient readers. How does student motivation affect the development of reading skills? And what can teachers do to tap into students' motivation to read? The research on reading motivation is not robust enough to fully answer these questions, but recent studies offer intriguing insights.

text: Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah, even though this is a discussion board I'd say discussing trading Williams or Stewart right now is pointless. Hurney just went out of his way to say we are keeping all 3. I'm all for it. Like someone said his value is greater than some realize because of how versatile he really is. STs is a no brainer, but also just on offense. For a guy built like a fullback he is really nimble and can catch passes out of the backfield really well. He's pretty much going to be doing what Brockel did, but better and used more often I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Released: Dec 01st, 1994
Running Time: 85
Company: Pleasure Productions
Cast: Robert Van Rijn, Martin Dieterman, Aja (I), Kevin Glover, Tim Lowe, Joseph Hertigen, Ona Zee, Tippi Peterlaan, Sharon Kane, Vicki Blair, Charlie Stone, Goff Van Loon, Ebony Aryes, Manie Meiter, Cory Monroe
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Mixed with new scenes and old-timers from the past, the video is divided into sections named something cute like "Double Shot of Dick" and stuff like that. It's nice to see Kevin Glover again in a four-way with Charlie Stone's once-famous bubble butt, and it's even better to see the perky breasts of Aja and hear the delightfully exaggerated squeals of Sharon Mitchell. The mustachioed guy who screws a blond in a shower and then goes down on a guy is a nice touch and the girl-girl scene entitled "Rub Me All Over" is also fun, and it's easily a compilation video that's trying to please everyone — and will.

Can you please explain to me what
where T : class, new() means in the following line of code?
void Add<T>(T item) where T : class, new();
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Can you please explain to me what
That is a constraint on the generic parameter
That means
It could be a
Those are generic type constraints. In your case there are two of them:
Means that the type
Means that the type
You then combine the two using a comma to get:
where T : struct
The type argument must be a value type. Any value type except Nullable can be specified. See Using Nullable Types (C# Programming Guide) for more information.
where T : class
The type argument must be a reference type, including any class, interface, delegate, or array type. (See note below.)
where T : new() The type argument must have a public parameterless constructor. When used in conjunction with other constraints, the new() constraint must be specified last.
where T : [base class name]
The type argument must be or derive from the specified base class.
where T : [interface name]
The type argument must be or implement the specified interface. Multiple interface constraints can be specified. The constraining interface can also be generic.
where T : U
The type argument supplied for T must be or derive from the argument supplied for U. This is called a naked type constraint.
new(): Specifying the new() constraint means type T must use a parameterless constructor, so an object can be instantiated from it - see Default constructors
class: Means T must be a reference type so it can't be an int, float, double, DateTime or other struct (value type).
That means that type
For example, you must be able to do this:
"The new() Constraint lets the compiler know that any type argument supplied must have an accessible parameterless--or default-- constructor"
So it should be, T must be a class, and have an accessible parameterless--or default constructor.
similar question asked here
It's called a 'constraint' on the generic parameter T. It means that T must be a reference type (a class) and that it must have a public default constructor.
This is part of the Generics mechanism, where the where keyword add constraints to what types must implement in order to be used as type parameters.

Marvelous Marketing
Lubin marketing major Nicolette Neurauter '14 balances class, Greek life, and comic books.
Fortunately, for marketing major Nicolette Neurauter '14, going Greek has involved more than what's typically depicted in the movies. In fact, Neurauter has been to the movies and back through one of many internship opportunities made available to her by the Kappa Delta sorority.
As a sophomore, Neurauter tapped into her sisterhood and landed her first internship at MRY, an international agency, as a BlackBerry Campus Ambassador. Neurauter promoted the BlackBerry brand at Pace. "I really loved this internship because it gave me an opportunity to plan events as well as meet an array of Pace students," she says.
It wasn't long before Neurauter found herself at DreamWorks, where she was first exposed to marketing. Moving from event planning to the marketing sector, Neurauter worked on DreamWorks Classics brands such as Lassie and Casper the Friendly Ghost, and ran the Facebook pages for two of the company's brands. "[DreamWorks] helped me learn about marketing licensing and solidified that I wanted to go into the marketing field," she says.
In fact, Neurauter enjoyed marketing so much that she joined Pace's 2013 Ad Team, a two part, invitation-only course for fully-dedicated students that go on to compete in the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC). The team is challenged to spend two semesters creating a complete marketing campaign for a sponsoring company, with a chance to see their concepts into fruition, if selected at NSAC. Past sponsors include companies such as Yahoo!, Coca-Cola, AOL Instant Messenger, Nissan, and more.
"I feel that I have an edge over other students throughout the country," says Neurauter. "The extensive marketing classes I have taken have truly helped me talk intelligently about my field when interviewing and discussing aspects of the business. [Professor] Chiagouris, [advisor of Ad Team], has helped me expand my passion for marketing."
And those skills are coming in handy as Neurauter embarks on her current internship at Marvel Comics. As a business development intern, Neurauter assists with convention preparation, ads for future comic books, and—of course—reading comic books. "I never thought that I would be able to work for a company I've admired my whole life. Now, I get to read comic books as part of my job. It's been a dream come true," she says.
Neurauter attributes her success to her sorority, Kappa Delta, which helped her land her internships at MRY, DreamWorks, and Marvel Comics. "One of the greatest choices I've ever made in college is joining Kappa Delta. Not only did I receive every internship I've had from a KD graduate, I've also made friends that I know I will have forever," she says.
In true sisterhood spirit, Neurauter is giving back to her sorority by serving as president of Kappa Delta's Eta Iota chapter at Pace. As president, she encourages her fellow sisters to go after those dream internships and—of course—read more comic books.

State Budget Cuts Push Tuition Higher
State budget deficits are forcing already cash-strapped public universities to increase tuition, lay off employees and, in some states, cut enrollment.
The crisis couldn't come at a worse time. More families are opting for state institutions as college tuition has soared, and the credit crisis has made it harder to get student loans. At the same time, college enrollment is expected to swell as laid-off workers retool and a record number of students graduate from high school.
"A lot of states have been caught by surprise at the magnitude of the economic downturn," says Donald E. Heller, director of the Center for the Study of Higher Education at Pennsylvania State University. "We know from past experiences that in a downturn, higher education gets a very big hit. What is unique this year is the credit crisis."
Already, at least 20 states have made cuts to public university budgets or are planning large tuition increases, according to a report the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities expects to release on Oct. 20.
Not surprisingly, some of the hardest-hit colleges are in states ravaged by the subprime crisis, including Florida, Nevada, California and Arizona. A number of states including Alabama, Maine, California and Rhode Island have already announced double-digit tuition increases. States also are cutting faculty and staff positions.
"It's another source of financial pressure on a lot of families, who already are feeling nervous about their wallets," says Nick Johnson, director of the State Fiscal Project at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research organization in Washington.
He says state revenues from income taxes, property taxes and retail sales are all down. At the same time, the demand for Medicaid and other state services keeps increasing as more people lose their jobs.
"Three quarters of the states are showing fiscal problems for 2009 or 2010, and revenues keep going south," says Johnson.
The University of California Board of Regents in May increased undergraduate student fees 7.4% to about $8,000, but higher tuition and more cuts are likely because the state faces an enormous budget deficit.
The University of Florida plans to increase tuition 15% for in-state undergraduates and eliminate 430 faculty and staff positions. It also has begun to decrease the number of students by more than 1,000 a year.
The student cuts are making it more difficult for transfer students. This year it admitted 2,000 transfer students compared with 3,000 a year ago. The situation is expected to worsen because this week Florida Gov. Charlie Crist asked for 10% budget cut for all state agencies.
Hard On Families
The tuition hikes come just as the economic downturn is forcing families to change or delay their academic plans.
Almost 60% of the 2,500 prospective college students surveyed said "they are now considering a less prestigious college due to affordability," according to a report released in October by MeritAid.com. Additionally, 16% of students said they were delaying their college search because they don't think their families would be able to afford to pay.
Even before the economic downturn, the cost per student at a public university remained constant between 1996 and 2006, according to a report scheduled to be released on Oct. 30, by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges in Washington.
The cost per student remained constant, but tuition increases were necessary to offset reduced state subsidies. During that decade, public university tuition rose on average 6.6% per year to $13,259. State appropriations per student remained almost constant over the same period, rising from $10,091 to $10,294 a decade later. More than 70% of students receive their college degrees from public-sector schools.
"No doubt in the economic trouble we have now and the economic troubles to come, state appropriations will be even harder to get," says Peter McPherson, president of NASULGC. "That's going to put pressure on tuition, and we think that is a public mistake."
The reason: Students end up graduating with far more debt, and many can't afford to attend.
McPherson, the former chairman of the board of Dow Jones & Co., publisher of this newswire, and the former president of Michigan State University, says, "Everybody will reduce expenses as much as they can, but there also will likely be higher tuition." The issue will likely be compounded by more people returning to school, which typically happens during a recession, says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org.
He says applications for financial aid have been up 10% to 20% year over year, even before the credit crisis.
"It puts pressure on school budgets," he says.
