Hey there,
since in the pictures on the plugin site it looks okay, I a not so sure this is a general problem of the plugin:
My maps are blurry. For me, it looks like this is.tiff, where it should look like this should.tiff.
The plugin page itself can be found here - in case it only looks that way for me.
Does anybody also have the problem, consider it a problem and/or have an idea to solve it?
Thank you!

It's not easy being rich, gorgeous, successful and a happily married mom, but Mafia princess turned Hollywood producer and real estate mogul Lucky Santangelo, last seen in 1999's Dangerous Kiss, again proves up to the challenge. In Collins's latest vendetta romance, Lucky plans her father Gino's 95th birthday bash while building a Las Vegas megaresort, unaware that family foe Anthony Bonar (né Bonnatti) is plotting revenge. In turn, Anthony is unaware of wife Irma's sexual awakening in the arms of their Mexican gardener, who in turn is unaware of Irma's affair with a federal drug enforcement agent. Meanwhile Lucky's 16-year-old daughter, Max, tells her parents she's with friends when she's really headed to a rendezvous with a man she meets on the Internet. That date provides the novel's fast-paced action, while Irma provides the novel's best sex and violence. Less gripping subplots include the on-again off-again relationship between Lucky's business partner, Alex, and his jealous girlfriend, as well as the off-again on-again romance between Lucky's best friend, the diva Venus, and her star-stud boyfriend, Billy. Collins delivers Lucky's usual mix of celebrity fantasy and godfather justice while Max promises to grow up in future sequels as troublesome and triumphant as her glitzy mom.

Drop Dead Beautiful (Lucky Santangelo Series)by Jackie Collins
View All Available Formats & Editions
Like mother, like daughter. No truer words for Lucky Santangelo's sixteen-year-old Max, who goes looking for trouble when she hooks up with some guy she met on the Internet. Soon the beautiful, willful Max finds herself in deeper waters than she can imagine as she becomes a pawn in a greater scheme that leads back to Lucky and Billy Melina, the studly movie-star boyfriend of Lucky's best friend, superstar Venus.
If Max's troubles weren't enough, Lucky has her multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas hotel complex to contend with...along with Anthony Bonar, the illegitimate grandson of her one-time Godfather and lethal enemy, Enzio Bonnati. So begins a non-stop thrill ride as Lucky builds her dream resort—and gambles with all she holds dear. Max, too, is following her dreams, and as her high-flying triumphs prove, she's more than just a little Lucky.

Drop Dead Beautiful
By Jackie Collins

Drop Dead Beautiful. The three little words were scrawled on the Cartier card Lucky Santangelo had just opened. Hand-delivered, the note had been brought up to the house in Bel Air by Philippe, her houseman, who'd discovered it in the mailbox at the end of the driveway.
Drop Dead Beautiful. No signature, no return address.
Was it an invitation to an upcoming event too clever for its own good?
Whatever. One quick glance at the card, and Lucky tossed it in the trash.
Lucky Santangelo. A dangerously seductive woman with blacker-than-night eyes, full sensuous lips, a tangle of long jet-black hair, deep olive skin, and a lithe body. Wherever she went, Lucky still brought a room to a standstill, for not only was she wildly beautiful, she was also a powerhouse—a woman to be reckoned with, a force of nature. Street-smart and forever savvy—Lucky Santangelo had it all.
In her past, she'd built hotels in Vegas, owned a major movie studio, and been married three times. She'd also survived much heartache. Her mother, Maria, had been murdered when she was five years old. Her brother, Dario, was shot to death and tossed from a moving car. Then finally her fiancé, Marco, was gunned down in the parking lot of her Vegas hotel.
Eventually Lucky had found out that the man who'd ordered the brutal killings was her godfather, Enzio Bonnatti, a man she had always respected and trusted. The information devastated her. Filled with vengeance, she'd lured Enzio into a carefully planned trap at his home, and shot him dead with his own gun, claiming that he'd tried to rape her. It was deemed a clear-cut case of self-defense.
Self-defense. Sure. She'd made it look like Bonnatti had been about to rape her, and the D.A. had bought it all the way. No surprise there. Her father, Gino, had major connections.
The real truth was that she'd shot the son of a bitch because he'd deserved to die, and she'd never regretted doing so. Justice had taken place. Santangelo justice.
Don't fuck with a Santangelo—the family motto.
Grabbing her purse from a shelf in the luxurious dressing room, Lucky headed for the door. Everything was large and luxurious in Bel-Air—the privileged enclave of the very rich and famous. The house she and her husband, Lennie, were living in was a short-term rental. Recent storms had wreaked havoc on their home in Malibu and they'd been forced to leave while repairs were being made.
The beach was more her style. Bel-Air was too cut off from real life with its winding hillside streets and enormous mansions hidden behind vast gates and high walls of impenetrable greenery. People existed as if they were living under siege, surrounded by multiple security guards and vicious attack dogs. That way of living was not for her. She enjoyed feeling unprotected and free, which was one of the reasons she'd opted out of running Panther Studios several years earlier.
Being the head of a Hollywood studio was no nine-to-five job. She'd found herself working seventeen-hour days, leaving no time for family and friends. One morning she'd woken up and thought, That's it, I'm out. She'd had enough of dealing with ego-inflated stars, nervous-for-their-jobs executives, fast-talking agents, neurotic directors, fat-assed producers, and anyone else who thought they could make it in the movie business—which was most people in L.A.
So she'd quit running Panther, and after producing one movie, Seduction, starring Venus Maria, and her new discovery, Billy Melina, she'd sold the studio and gotten out of the film business altogether.
Lennie was in the movie industry. That was enough for one family.
Besides, Lucky had other plans. She was getting back into the hotel business in Vegas—the place where it had all begun for her. Several years ago she'd put together a syndicate of interesting and colorful investors to develop a huge multibillion-dollar complex called the Keys. She'd been working with architects and planners for the last five years, and in less than a month they were about to celebrate the grand opening. Since the hotel project was her baby, she was beyond excited.
"Mom!" Max burst into the dressing room without knocking. Max, her sixteen-year-old wild child. Tall and colt-like with smooth olive skin, green eyes, an unruly tangle of black curls, and a killer bod, Max was a showstopper. She was also a rebel, playing truant from school on a regular basis.
"Here's the thing," Max announced, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet. "There's no way I can go to Grandpa's party."
"Excuse me?" Lucky questioned, attempting to remain calm.
"Y'see, there's this big blowout for one of Cookie's best friends up in Big Bear," Max blurted, speaking too fast. "A whole crowd of us wanna go, so like I can't let Cookie down."
"You can't, huh?" Lucky said coolly.
"Nope," Max answered, tugging on a stray curl. "Cookie's my best friend an' this is like essential."
"You are not missing Gino's birthday," Lucky said firmly. "No way."
Max stared balefully at her mom. "Huh?"
"You heard me," Lucky said, heading for the door.
"I can't believe you'd be this mean," Max complained, trailing behind her.
"Mean?" Lucky sighed. This was major déjà vu. It reminded her of all the times she and Gino had gone head to head, and there were too many to remember.
"Why do I have to stay for Gino's stupid party?" Max demanded. "It's not as if he'll miss me."
"Of course he'll miss you," Lucky insisted, hurrying down the stairs.
"He'll like so not," Max grumbled, right behind her.
Lucky turned around, shooting her daughter a warning look. "You're getting on my bad side, so stop it."
"No, Max," Lucky said, walking out the front door. "I'm not interested, don't want to hear it."
And with those words she got into her red Ferrari and roared off down the driveway.
"Crap!" Max shrieked as her mother's car vanished into the distance.
"Whassup?" questioned her younger brother, Gino Junior, rounding the corner from the tennis court.
"Mom sucks!" Max complained, ignoring Gino Junior's two leering friends, both of whom she knew had a total crush on her.
"What she do now?" Gino asked. He was only fifteen, but he was already six feet tall and built like a football player.
"She won't let me get out of Grandpa's lame party. That's so pathetic."
Ignoring her, Gino Junior raced into the house, followed by his two friends, who couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Horny little pricks," she muttered under her breath. "Go jerk off someplace else. Like Siberia."
Lucky drove like a race car driver, skillfully weaving in and out of traffic. She turned the CD player on full volume—Usher blasting.
Lately Max's behavior was becoming quite a challenge. Everything seemed to turn into an argument. Lucky sighed. It wasn't easy being a parent, especially when in your head you were hardly any older than your own child.
A frosted and Botoxed blonde in a shiny new Mercedes cut in front of her, causing her to hit the brakes. "Shit, lady!" Lucky yelled. "Whyn't you learn to fuckin' drive?"
Not that anyone could hear her, but shouting at other drivers eased the tension, although if Lennie happened to be in the car, it made him crazy. "One of these days someone's gonna get out their car and shoot your ass," he was always warning her.
"Yeah, sure," she would reply. "I dare them to."
At which point Lennie would shake his head. In his eyes there was no taming Lucky Santangelo. She walked her own path, and that's exactly the way he liked her.CHAPTER 2
Movie star Billy Melina was over six feet tall, tanned, with shaggy, bleached-by-the-sun hair, and a body straight out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. At twenty-eight Billy was in spectacular shape, with sharply defined abs that rippled as the star-struck young girl kneeling in front of him bobbed her head up and down, servicing him with sticky lips and a busy tongue.
"Suck it!" Billy commanded, pressing his hands down on top of her head. "Suck it, suck it hard!"
She was doing the best she could. What more did he expect?
"Aarghh ..." He let out a long, agonized groan. "That's it, sweet thing, that's it! I'm coming ... I'm coming."
The girl attempted to pull away.
"No! No!" Billy yelled, pressing down even harder on the back of her head. "Swallow it, suck it all down." He groaned again, then mumbled, "Go, baby. Go. That's it! Yeeeah!"
For a moment there was silence while the girl tried to decide if it was now okay to release his massive dick from the confines of her mouth.
He decided for her, pulling away with a sudden jerk, immediately stuffing himself back into his tight white Calvins and pulling up his jeans.
They were standing next to the pool in Billy's Hollywood Hills house—a house that the Realtor had assured him had once been rented by Charlie Sheen. A house that had cost him three million dollars, and who the fuck had ever thought he would be able to afford to buy such a house?
Certainly not his old man, Ed, who'd laughed in his face when Billy had informed him, eight years ago, that he was off to Hollywood to become a famous actor. Certainly not his alcoholic stepmother, Millie, whose parting words had been, "Good riddance, Billy boy. Doncha bother comin' back anytime soon."
He'd shown them, hadn't he? Oh yeah, he'd certainly shown them. He was Billy Melina. Hot-shot twenty-something movie star. Yeah—a freakin' movie star. He was on a very exclusive list of young actors who had the clout to open a movie. DiCaprio, Depp, Pitt—although Brad wasn't so young anymore. And then there was Billy Melina.
Yeah! Get off on that, old Ed and Millie pissface.
The girl, clad in denim cut-offs and a skimpy yellow tank, got off her knees and stood up. "Was that okay?" she asked matter-of-factly, as if she'd just served him an omelette.
"Sweet," he replied, wondering how fast he could get rid of her.
Earlier in the day he'd picked her up at Tower Records on Sunset. When the girl had spotted him, she'd sidled over and requested his autograph. He'd noticed her nipples, pushing to escape her barely-there tank top. Then he'd noticed her legs, long and tanned. Her face was pretty—nothing special, but he was feeling major horny, and since his call to the set was not until three that afternoon, he'd invited her up to his house for lunch and a fast blow job. Not that he'd actually mentioned that a blow job was part of the deal—but they'd both known what would happen.
Quivering with excitement, she'd jumped in her truck and followed his sleek Maserati up the winding streets to his house, barely keeping up in her beat-up old truck with a broken taillight—a truck similar to the one he'd driven to Hollywood eight years earlier with two hundred bucks in his pocket and no prospects.
"Hey," he suggested as they stood beside the pool. "How about I give you an autographed picture so you can tell your friends you met me?"
"That'd be cool," she said, acting shy—as if his cock hadn't been in her mouth minutes before.
"Wait here," he instructed sternly. "I'll be right back."
When Billy had first arrived in Hollywood, he'd called women "ma'am," and been full of respect and good manners. Stardom had gotten him over that particular hump, although he still had a chivalrous streak.
He darted into his house through sliding glass doors, feeling ever so slightly guilty on account of the fact that he had a girlfriend—a gorgeous, famous movie star thirteen years his senior—and if she ever found out that he wasn't exactly Joe-faithful, she'd be well and truly pissed. But hey, a blow job wasn't cheating—everyone knew that. Jeez—President Clinton had declared it wasn't sex on national TV. How could anyone argue with that?
Ramona, his Hispanic housekeeper, was singing to herself in the kitchen, quite oblivious to the goings-on out by the pool. Kev, his assistant/best friend from the old days, was on the loose somewhere, running errands or picking up girls. He'd certainly get off on this one.
Billy rifled through the stuff on the coffee table in his den and located a stack of glossy eight-by-tens mixed up with unopened bills, pornographic fan mail, a half-smoked joint, well-thumbed car magazines, and an empty candy box. He grabbed a pen, hurriedly scrawled his signature on the photo, and raced back outside, eager to get her off the premises.
The young girl had divested herself of her cut-offs and tank, and was swimming bare-assed naked in his pool.
Shit! What was he supposed to do now?
"Hey," he said, chewing on his thumbnail.
"Didn't think you'd mind," she responded nonchalantly.
Well, I do, he thought sourly.
"Uh ... okay," he said, still chewing. "But I gotta take off any minute, so you're gonna hafta haul your hot little ass outta there."
"How about you getting in?" she suggested, becoming bolder by the minute. "It's all warm an' wet, you won't be disappointed."
She flipped onto her back, floating in his azure pool, her small nipples erect and disturbingly tempting.
He contemplated this juicy prize, there for the taking. She had a flat stomach, a huge bush of wiry pubic hair—which he found quite sexy because shaved pussy was all the rage in Hollywood—and those long, sexy legs.
Familiar stirrings down below, even though only moments before he'd experienced an extremely satisfactory orgasm.
What the hell, he'd nail her in the pool, then hustle her out of there before she knew it.
After all, what Venus didn't know ...
"Where's Billy?" Alex Woods demanded of Maggie, his personal assistant, a tall woman of Native American descent with long black hair scraped back into a ponytail and strong, almost manly features.
They were standing next to a wooded area several miles outside of L.A. shooting Alex's current movie, Kill, a violent thriller.
Maggie sensed an outburst coming on. She was well aware that as a director Alex Woods was an Oscar-winning genius, and yet as a man he could be a nightmare. When things were not to his liking, everyone had to watch out—including her. She often wondered how his Asian lawyer girlfriend, Ling, put up with him.
"He's on his way," she assured him in a calm voice.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Alex snapped, rubbing his hands together. "His call was for three, and it's now three forty-five."
"I know," Maggie said, remaining calm.
"So get in touch with his driver and tell the asshole to put his foot down."
"Billy refused to use his driver," Maggie explained. "He insisted on driving himself."
"What kind of shit is that?" Alex screamed, suddenly losing it. "The insurance forbade it. D'you hear me, Maggie? They forbade that he drove himself to any of the locations. You know that."
"Yes, I do," Maggie responded in a quiet voice, because having worked with Alex for quite a few years, she also knew there was absolutely no point in provoking a screaming match.
"She knows!" Alex yelled, mimicking her. "She fucking knows, and yet she does nothing."
Maggie shrugged.
"Shit!" Alex screamed. "Goddamn actors. They should all go fuckin' Tom Cruise themselves out of the business."
"What does that mean?"
"Wait a few years," Alex said ominously, "you'll find out."
"No panic," Maggie said, relieved. "Here he comes now."
An Electra Glide fully restored Harley roared into sight, Billy Melina astride in all his glory, black-leathered up to the eyebrows.
Alex strode toward the young actor as Billy jumped off his bike. "You're fucking late!" he yelled.
"Traffic," Billy countered, his voice filled with the arrogance of an actor who knows there is no way he can get fired.
"Unprofessional," Alex growled.
"Not my fault, man," Billy said, casually removing his helmet.
"Of course not," Alex drawled sarcastically. "Why would it be your fault? Nothing's your fucking fault, is it?"
Maggie quickly attempted to defuse the situation. "Billy," she said. "Come with me. They're waiting for you in the makeup trailer."
"Hey, Mags," Billy said, turning on the charm. "You're lookin' hot. How's about you an' me— " "Move your punk ass," Alex interrupted.
"Sure, old man," Billy said, grinning.
Infuriated, Alex stomped off toward his crew busy setting up across the street. Old man indeed. There was nothing worse than some two-bit actor with a handful of box-office hits who considered himself the second coming of Steve McQueen.
Fuck all actors. And definitely fuck Billy Melina.
Alex had seen them come, and he'd seen them go. At fifty-something he was a veteran producer/writer/director who'd been through the Hollywood wars countless times. He knew all the games, all the shenanigans. He'd seen studio heads ousted at a moment's notice, and a staggering lack of honesty and loyalty. The only studio head Alex had enjoyed working with was Lucky Santangelo when she'd owned and run Panther Studios. They'd had a connection that was more than business, and although Alex had always gone for Asian women, there was something about Lucky that had immediately drawn him in.

Big fan of lucky series
I loved reading this book, Jackie Collins is an excellent writer and the Lucky Santangelo series has never disappointed me, EVER! I am now reading the Goddess of Vengeance and have read all of the other Lucky Santangelo series of books. Lucky is my kind of woman and if you don't know any better, you had better watch out because once Lucky gets a hold of you, all bets are OFF! I love her and I hope we get to see her again soon after Goddess of Vengeance! PLEASE bring back Lucky, she is an awesome character!
i just like this author very much
as usual Jackie Collins has her own unique style. A great escape reader. Not really the kind of book that is easy to recomend trashy romance is my weekness but dont really want people to know that i endulge in such junk. Is a great escape read and easy read. For the more mature reader as it is full of language for adults.
I read this book in about 2 days. Once i got into the book, it was hard to put down. This book kept me wanting to do what was going to happen next!!! Great for rainy days!!!
LOVE Lucky Santangelo and have read the entire series and this one did not disappoint! It also gave way for the author to continue to build stories for Bobby, Max & Gino Jr. This was a great read and as usual became obsessed with the story from beginning to end. If you haven't read her other series like Hollywood Wives and the subsequent series, you're missing out! I also recommend "James Patterson" - "Women's Murder Club Books 1-7" Impossible to put down!!
This book was so thrilling, I enjoyed every last minute of it. it had all the things a good book should have, suspense, intrigue and drama. You will not be disappointed if you buy this book!!
This book kept me interested I couldn't put it down!
One time Mafia princess and Hollywood producer Lucky Santangelo plans a big party to celebrate her father Gino Bonatti¿s ninety-fifth birthday. She sets up the gala in Las Vegas where she is building a megaresort facility. Long time Bonnatti family enemy Anthony Bonar sees the bash as a ripe opportunity to destroy his most hated foe. -------------------- Anthony¿s wife Irma turns to their Mexican gardener and to a FED for pleasurable sex. At the same time that Irma finds pleasure in the arms of other men, Lucky's sixteen year old old chip off the old block daughter Max lies to her and her husband by saying she is with her friends when in fact she is meeting someone she met over the Internet. Lucky will shortly understand her mother better as she feels punished for her teen crimes when all hell breaks loose.------------------------ Fans of Jackie Collins (count me in) will delight in the return of Lucky Santangelo (VENDETTA, DANGEROUS KISS, and LADY BOSS, etc) as she mixes Hollywood and Vegas with the mob and family. The story line is lighthearted as always as Lucky and Anthony head to a showdown on the Strip. Although the romantic sidebars of her pals seem unlucky for readers as they are distracters, series readers will appreciate the antics of the former mafia Princess as she deals with her most challenging adversary yet, Mad Max.---------- Harriet Klausner

The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Commission mites all-stars (ages 11-12) produced a Lowcountry highlight.
The Lancaster County mites captured the state championship, sweeping to a pair of wins on Saturday at James Island in the Charleston area.
The mites of coach Johnny Dukes opened play with a 2-0 win over Conway and then captured the crown with a 3-2 victory over Beaufort.
In the title match, Lancaster County broke to a 2-0 lead as Corey Lucas connected on a 20-yard shot over the Beaufort goalie.
An overriding theme to the 2009 University of South Carolina football season has been about the "New Carolina."
Prior to the Gamecocks' annual clash with state rival Clemson on Saturday afternoon in Columbia, it might have been a tough stretch to strongly grasp the billing.
It appeared the Gamecocks, much like recent seasons, were on a similar slide. USC, 6-2 at one point this fall, was mired in a three-game skein and seemingly reeling. For USC fans, it was like, don't look now, but it's the "same old Carolina."
The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Commission small fry South football all-stars experienced one of those days Sunday.
It was one of those days you would just soon as forget.
The South stars were on the short end of a 38-0 loss to host Mauldin in the Upper State championship football game.
"We kind of came out flat and Mauldin smacked us in the mouth," South all-star coach Kris Self said.
Mauldin held a 24-0 halftime lead and cruised to the win.
In 1942, Winston Churchill said that tea was more important than ammunition in strengthening the moral of British troops.
Tea didn't hurt Uncle Sam's war efforts, either, said Betty Broome.
Broome, who was a youngster during World War II, still recalls how women in Van Wyck would hold afternoon teas to raise money.
A Lancaster man could face federal drug charges after his latest drug arrest on Thursday.
Drico Antwan Curry, 30, 1013 Darlene Blvd., has been charged by the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office with trafficking cocaine and resisting arrest.
According to an incident report, the sheriff's office drug task force and federal Drug Enforcement Agency conducted surveillance on Curry's home and had two warrants for his arrest on crack cocaine trafficking charges.
The report said task force officers watched Curry's home on Thursday morning.
Lancaster City Council has put off appointing new members to the City Landmark Commission until more names are recommended for the panel.
Rick Bowers, the city's building official, had submitted three names – Thomasina Tyler, Odessa Funderburk and Brenda McGriff – to fill the three vacant seats on the five-member commission, which advises council on the designation of landmarks and conservation areas.
Reciting a few quick words with her family by her side, Charlene McGriff became Lancaster County Council's newest member Monday night.
Standing with her daughter, Michelle, and her 6-year-old granddaughter, Caiyla, in council chambers, McGriff took the oath of office before council's regular meeting Monday night. Clerk of Court Jeff Hammond administered the oath.
A 90-year-old woman and her daughter prepared for an early Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 25.
They likely weren't prepared for an unwanted guest wielding a gun.
According to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report, the woman and her 61-year-old daughter told deputies that a man kicked in the front door of the older woman's Coldstream Road home about 9:30 a.m. Nov. 25. The man pointed a black handgun at the women. The women gave the man $240, the report said.
Aging technology and a quickly growing county population have Lancaster County Council considering an upgrade to the county's 911 system.
Gov. Mark Sanford will be at the Red Ventures ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, Dec. 9, at the corporate office's new location in Indian Land.
Lancaster County Council Chairman Rudy Carter will also be speaking at the ceremony.
The online marketing and sales company plans to bring 1,000 new jobs and invest $20 million in the corporate headquarters.
Red Ventures will also work with the readySC program to develop and train members of the state's workforce.

The composition and spatial distribution patterns of the macrobenthic faunal assemblages of an 8-ha tidal impoundment operated as a traditional shrimp pond at the Mai Po Marshes Nature Reserve, Hong Kong, were studied in relation to temporal changes in local environmental conditions. Species richness, abundance and biomass of macrobenthos across 5 different sub-habitats (seaward, middle, and landward parts of open water unvegetated areas, and Phragmites- and Kandelia-dominated, vegetated areas) within the pond were examined bimonthly between January 1997 and January 1998. Grab samples were collected randomly within the sub-habitats. Key physical environmental parameters of the sampling sites were also measured. A total of 46 species of macrobenthos was recorded: 11 polychaetes, 11 molluscs, 13 crustaceans and 11 insects. Mean species density in the five sub-habitats ranged from 0 to 3907 indċm−2, with mean biomass ranging from 0 to 96.9 gċm−2. The macrobenthos showed spatial and temporal differences among the sub-habitats and across sampling times. Species abundances of Polychaeta, Mollusca and Crustacea were significantly higher in the three open water areas than in the two vegetated (Phragmites- and Kandelia-dominated) areas, with an inverse pattern for Insecta. There were no clear temporal patterns although abundance and biomass generally increased in the cooler months. Results of a canonical correspondence analysis suggest that macrobenthic species richness, abundance and biomass in the open areas were positively correlated with salinity, while water depth, dissolved oxygen and sediment organic matter content had little relationship with the macrobenthic assemblage parameters. Ordination by multi-dimensional scaling suggests that different habitats supported distinct macrobenthic assemblages. The macrobenthic assemblage in the tidal pond was less species rich but denser than those in the neighboring tidal mangrove and mudflat, suggesting that conversion of these areas into extensively managed tidal aquaculture ponds results in reduced species richness in tropical mangrove habitats.

I have problem with automatic forwarding by the posts in my blog (writen in bulgarian language) to another site. I have doubts about some of the plugins, but I'm not sure. I meet that problem for the first time. I doubt also for outside interference, but I'm not sure. In my opinion, people who I know and who knows me, are not able of such acts.
I do not think that my blog is much visited, but please take a look at least 2-3 posts. Thereafter I expect to receive some advices or suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration and I apologize for insolence.

This plug-in broke my style sheet. I suppose this don't happen to everybody, but for me it was a disaster.
This plug-in broke my style sheet. I suppose this don't happen to everybody, but for me it was a disaster.
That clearly should not happen.
That's a pity Mladen. Some questions so I could try to improve things:
Hi and thank you for your quick respond.
Actually the situation is not exactly disastrous, but bad enough for me. The problem is that all css images are not showing in Firefox only. Those are strikes for lists, icons for tags and categories, sprites for prettyphoto etc. Only Firefox is affected, the paths to images are correct. The website is not in english, but if click on any post in gallery you can see the problems.
- http://www.tsarevo.info/galeriya/
- No, I don`t have any other site
- The theme is called WP-Clear
- I believe i have tried the latest version 1.5.1
Some background-images indeed do not seem to load in Firefox (see screenshot here), but you're not using Autoptimize now, are you?
When looking in Firebug, I see several files from http://www.stat.tsarevo.info that don't get loaded with a HTTP 403 error ("forbidden") instead of a valid HTTP 200 or 304 response code cfr. this screenshot. Same for a.o. /css/images/white-inside-skin-sprite.png and /css/images/black-and-white-skin-sprite.png.
I think that you're experiencing a very weird problem with (the configuration of) http://www.stat.tserevo.info which is not related to Autoptimize?
Any news about why some images aren't being served from http://www.stat.tserevo.info even when there's no Autoptimize in the picture Mladen?
Hi futtta,
No, I don
t know why those images are not loading. I get really confused with this cookieless sub domain thing and i am trying to get things back to how they was. There was some cache left after I delete the plugin, and thought that everything will be ok when i delete it, but no luck. However, I am pretty sure that all of this started after installing Autoptimize. Dont know if the plugin cause it, but it started then.
OK, hope you can revert to the previous situation.
To make sure Autoptimize is entirely deleted, you should;
If you'd like some assistance, you can contact me at futtta-at-gmail-dot-com. And if it's any consolation (it is for me); I'm 100% sure this isn't caused by Autoptimize :-)
OK, I must admit, I was wrong about this plugin :) Actually it is doing pretty good job with optimization. But still there are two problems that I can not resolve:
1. There is a blank space in footer with text Error 003. I have weather widget in my sidebar, which is not a plugin, it is just a javascript code put in text widget - the code. After some investigation with Firebug i understood that this weather widget somehow is going down in the footer.
2. There are two ads in the sidebar, one of them is from Google and the other is from local ad management company. The second ad (the local) is not showing, don`t know why. Here is the code.
Can you please take a look of this problems? It will be great if you help me to remove those error.
Thanks :)
p.s. By the way, all JavaScript Options buttons are checked + Optimize HTML Code. Nothing else.
p.p.s. Is there any way to exclude some scripts from optimization?
Hi there Mladen, glad you got the missing image problem solved!
Regarding the two remaining issues; just check the box next to
Look for scripts only in <head>?
This should solve both problems (tested successfully with the weather-widget).
Excluding script in this version can be done by editing the array "dontmove" in /wp-content/plugins/autoptimize/classes/autoptimizeScripts.php. In a future version I'll probably include a text-field in the admin-screen.
For anyone looking to get their adsense or infolinks back this solution worked perfect for me. It also had no effect on scores from page speed insights or Yslow by enabling this option.

Kazakhstan Upgraded at Fitch to Tie Russia on Foreign Assets
Kazakhstan's sovereign rating was upgraded one step to BBB at Fitch Ratings as energy exports boosted the central Asian country's assets denominated in foreign currencies.
Kazakhstan, the second-largest oil producer in the former Soviet Union, had its long-term foreign-currency rating raised from BBB-, with a positive outlook, the assessor said today in a statement. That's the second-lowest investment grade and equals the rating of neighboring Russia, the world's largest energy exporter.
"Kazakhstan's sovereign balance sheet has strengthened, with sovereign net foreign assets affording a growing cushion against revenue shocks, and underpinning the positive outlook," Charles Seville, a director at Fitch, said in the statement. The country's budget surplus will be 6 percent to 7 percent of economic output in 2011-13, while the economy will grow 6 percent annually over the period, Fitch said.
Oil producers stand to benefit as prices may remain above $100 a barrel next year. The Kazakh government has used "conservative" forecasts in its budget, which will be in surplus next year with oil at $80 a barrel, Fitch said.
The tenge rose 0.1 percent to 147.89 per dollar, the strongest level since Oct. 28.
Oil Revenue
Net foreign assets may rise to 49 percent of gross domestic product by the end of 2013, from 37 percent at the end of last year, the ratings service said.
"We remain optimistic on Kazakhstan in the coming years," Julia Tsepliaeva, chief economist for Russia and CIS at BNP Paribas in Moscow, said in an e-mailed note. "Unlike Russia, which drastically increased the government's expenditure appetite, Kazakhstan channels a bigger part of its oil revenue to the National Fund."
The fund may grow $10 billion to $15 billion annually in the medium term, while "steady improvements" in the Kazakh banking system "should make the positive story sustainable in general," she said.
The upgrade follows Standard & Poor's decision on Nov. 9 to boost Kazakhstan's foreign-currency debt rating to BBB+, the third-lowest investment grade, pushing it ahead of Russia. S&P said the rating had a stable outlook.
Kazakhstan's "growth outlook and sovereign balance sheet outlook effectively outweigh risks emanating from the troubled financial sector, which continues to be a rating weakness," Fitch said.

Sure cut lnto the holiday season.
More like 24 stone slabs. Definitely not a pocket calender.
I couldn't find a Great Northern Railway calendar this year. Could you folks help, even if I can only use 11 months of one?
simple Google search . .
Ummm, wouldn't 16 months only bring us to April, not June???
Calendar makers were probably the first people to come up with the concept of planned obsolescence.
I'm not getting a lot of support for my proposal to change the calendar. Each month has 28 days. Each month starts on Sunday the first and ends on Saturday the 28th. Every month is identical.
Thirteen such months make up 364 days. The extra day needed is called New Year Day and it is part of the new year, but is not part of a month or week. It simply gets slipped in between Friday the 28th of the old year and Sunday the 1st of the New Year. This assures a three-day weekend without shortening the work week on either side.
Every 4 years, Leap Day will be added at the end of the year immediately before New Year Day.
Calendar makers hate the idea. Also, it is not popular with triskaidekaphobiacs since there are 13 Friday the 13ths.
"Also, it is not popular with triskaidekaphobiacs since there are 13 Friday the 13ths."
So just start each month on Monday and have no friday the 13ths.
why moon 13 people?
or we could forget about days and simply have seconds, hektoseconds, kiloseconds, megaseconds, gigaseconds
The fun thing is that nobody has to accept any callendar, we simply do because they are convenient. same as standard time, nobody HAS to use it, but those who don't are mostly batty
The Romans actually used to do something like this, just to realign the year with the calendar.
The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five days of February, which counted down toward the start of March, became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add 22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378 days.
The Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC), was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect in 45 BC (709 AUC). It was the predominant calendar in most of Europe, and in European settlements in the Americas and elsewhere, until it was refined and superseded by the Gregorian calendar. The difference in the length of the year between Julian (365.25 days) and Gregorian (365.2425 days) is 0.002%.
It must have been fun to wake up before 46 BCE and wonder what day or month it really was!
I'm for a calendar of 25 months with 14 days in each month…at least that way, you could kiss April 15 good bye…
Wasn't there a Martian calender constructed of 24 months and 30 day months?
Or, you could switch January & February to be the LAST two months of the year & return September thru December ( # 7, 8, 9, & 10 ) to their rightful places on the calendar!! July & August were added to the old Roman calendar ( which only had 10 months ) by Julius Caesar & Augustus Caesar after the calendar reforms initiated by them!
Thanks for the history lesson!
Except for the fact that the almighty government will always intervene!!!

Indian Blue Burger
Here's a sample veggie burger recipe for you to try at home:
2 Vegetable Masala Burgers (available at Trader Joe's in the frozen food section)
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
2 100% whole-wheat or whole-grain buns or rolls
2 tablespoons chopped or sliced red onion (or sweet onion)
6 thin slices tomato
4 small Romaine lettuce leaves
- Heat medium nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add burgers (these don't need any oil or cooking spray) to hot pan. Cook about 3 minutes per side, or until nicely brown and thoroughly heated.
- Turn off the heat. Spread a tablespoon of blue cheese evenly over each burger, then cover pan and let rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the buns, if you desire, or coat cut sides with canola cooking spray and lightly brown on a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Place the cheese-topped burgers on the bottom portion of the buns. Top that with onions, tomato slices, lettuce, and the top of the buns.

1. Press X to go into hero feed.
2. Find a message of the day, these are the ones that allow you to press A.
3. Press A on one.
4. Press B to back out.
5. Do this 5 times over.
6. ??????

5 times on message of the day worked fine for me, play a few songs and then go back to the main menu and click the hero feed and you see at least one feed with an envelope icon which lets you select it with green.

Anything that has a green fret next to it at the main menu, just do that on 5 different ones. Note you may have to go into QP+ then back to the main menu, at least for me.

Do NOT make assumptions about the legal system when it comes to another persons dealings with an issue like this that has absolutely no bearing on you whatsoever. You do not have the slightest clue as to what the legal system would do, that is obvious. Do NOT give the OP the idea that the court system will slap their brother on the wrist and everything will smooth out for both. It WILL NOT HAPPEN that way.
Those handing out the "hang em high" advice are NOT in this persons shoes, do not know how it will affect them and are not psychologist, legal professionals or involved in any way. Telling someone to do what THEY would do (possibly) if in such a situation, on a forum, over the internet, in simple text, is very self important as you are not involved, connected, related, or even correct. The only person that can make this call is the OP, and not on the "Oh I'd do this because everyone needs tough love blah blah", but on information as to facts of the situation. Which are what I put in my post. I would never tell a total stranger they should take such an action, I would only tell them WHAT I KNOW could be the out comes and that it was their decision to make and what I'd take into consideration first.
Think about that before telling someone you've never met how they should handle such a matter as though you're giving out simple credit score advice.
Not only is there "thou shalt not steal" there also is "Thou shalt not judge", try to remember you have to take all those statements into account and not just pick your favorites (very few people are able to remember that).
[EDIT]: Until it's you, sit down and shut up. Now how's THAT tough love for ya?
This person is clearly asking for advice, and did not say that they only want it from people who have experienced this. If they did not want people's opinions, they would have just asked what happens when someone uses someone elses identity. Have you been in this situation before? If not why are you responding to the post?

- Clements, J. F., T. S. Schulenberg, M. J. Iliff, D. Roberson, T. A. Fredericks, B. L. Sullivan, and C. L. Wood. 2014. The eBird/Clements checklist of birds of the world: Version 6.9. Downloaded from http://www.birds.cornell.edu/clementschecklist/download/
Moist Pacific Coast Mangroves Habitat
This taxon occurs in the Moist Pacific Coast mangroves, an ecoregion along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica with a considerable number of embayments that provide shelter from wind and waves, thus favouring mangrove establishment. Tidal fluctuations also directly influence the mangrove ecosystem health in this zone. The Moist Pacific Coast mangroves ecoregion has a mean tidal amplitude of three and one half metres,
Many of the streams and rivers, which help create this mangrove ecoregion, flow down from the Talamanca Mountain Range. Because of the resulting high mountain sediment loading, coral reefs are sparse along the Pacific coastal zone of Central America, and thus reef zones are chiefly found offshore near islands. In this region, coral reefs are associated with the mangroves at the Isla del Caño Biological Reserve, seventeen kilometres from the mainland coast near the Térraba-Sierpe Mangrove Reserve. The Térraba-Sierpe, found at the mouths of the Térraba and Sierpe Rivers, is considered a wetland of international importance.
Because of high moisture availability, the salinity gradient is more moderate than in the more northern ecoregion such as the Southern dry Pacific Coast ecoregion. Resulting mangrove vegetation is mixed with that of marshland species such as Dragonsblood Tree (Pterocarpus officinalis), Campnosperma panamensis, Guinea Bactris (Bactris guineensis), and is adjacent to Yolillo Palm (Raphia taedigera) swamp forest, which provides shelter for White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta palliata). Mangrove tree and shrub taxa include Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), Mangle Caballero (R. harrisonii) R. racemosa (up to 45 metres in canopy height), Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and Mangle Salado (A. bicolor), a mangrove tree restricted to the Pacific coastline of Mesoamerica.
Two endemic birds listed by IUCN as threatened in conservation status are found in the mangroves of this ecoregion, one being the Mangrove Hummingbird (Amazilia boucardi EN), whose favourite flower is the Tea Mangrove (Pelliciera rhizophorae), the sole mangrove plant pollinated by a vertebrate. Another endemic avain species to the ecoregion is the Yellow-billed Cotinga (Carpodectes antoniae EN). Other birds clearly associated with the mangrove habitat include Roseate Spoonbill (Ajaia ajaja), Gray-necked Wood Rail (Aramides cajanea), Rufous-necked Wood Rail (A. axillaris), Mangrove Black-hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus subtilis),Striated Heron (Butorides striata), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius), American White Ibis (Eudocimus albus), Amazon Kingfisher (Chloroceryle amazona), Mangrove Cuckoo (Coccyzus minor), Yellow Warbler (Setophaga petechia), and Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus VU) among other avian taxa.
Mammals although not as numerous as birds, include species such as the Lowland Paca (Agouti paca), Mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata), White-throated Capuchin (Cebus capucinus), Silky Anteater (Cyclopes didactylus), Central American Otter (Lontra longicaudis annectens), White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), feeds on leaves within A. bicolor and L. racemosa forests. Two raccoons: Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and Crab-eating Raccoon (P. cancrivorus) can be found, both on the ground and in the canopy consuming crabs and mollusks. The Mexican Collared Anteater (Tamandua mexicana) is also found in the Moist Pacific Coast mangroves.
There are a number of amphibians in the ecoregion, including the anuran taxa: Almirante Robber Frog (Craugastor talamancae); Chiriqui Glass Frog (Cochranella pulverata); Forrer's Grass Frog (Lithobates forreri), who is found along the Pacific versant, and is at the southern limit of its range in this ecoregion. Example salamanders found in the ecoregion are the Colombian Worm Salamander (Oedipina parvipes) and the Gamboa Worm Salamander (Oedipina complex), a lowland organism that is found in the northern end of its range in the ecoregion. Reptiles including the Common Basilisk Lizard (Basiliscus basiliscus), Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor), American Crocodile (Crocodilus acutus), Spectacled Caiman (Caiman crocodilus), Black Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis) and Common Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) thrive in this mangrove ecoregion.
Bocas del Toro-San Bastimentos Island-San Blas Mangroves Habitat
This taxon is found in the Bocas del Toro-San Bastimentos Island-San Blas mangroves ecoregion, but not necessarily exclusive to this region. The Bocas del Toro-San Bastimentos Island-San Blas mangroves is one of the ecoregions of Panama, situated on the Caribbean coast of northern Panama. Precipitation in this region, entirely in the form of rainfall, amounts to approximately 6000 mm per annum. This ecoregion is largely comprised of mangrove swamps and contains an extensive coral reef system that protects the mangroves by moderating ocean wave action; in turn the mangroves trap sediment and promote water clarity than enhance coral reef development. Extensive submerged areas of this ecoregion are considered seagrass meadows, a highly biodiverse marine ecosystem that has high primary productivity as well as considerable species richness In the shallower waters are found manatee along with numerous corals, sponges, pipefishes and baracuda. The deeper coastal waters are habitat for dolphins, most notably at Dolphin Bay, somewhat south of Bastimentos Island.
The dominant shoreline ecoregion feature is the presence of Red Mangrove trees, whose submerged roots stabilize the shoreline. The near coastal zone and low elevation upland areas of this ecorefion also support a host of other flora, as well as birds, mammals, amphibians and arthropods.
Birdlife at the coastal upland and rich coastal riparian zone and other near shore upland habitats is quite diverse. A notable terrestrial bird endemic to the Bocas del Toro region is the Brown Parakeet. Another notable bird found in this ecoregion is the Pale-billed woodpecker, Campephilus guatemalensis, a large bird, who is found at the southern limit of his range here. The White-fronted nunbird, Monasa morphoeus, is a near passerine species found at the moist lowland forest edge, including secondary growth. Another bird found here that is tolerant of degraded forest is the Crimson-fronted parakeet, Aratinga finschi. A specialist bird to the mangroves and also dense somewhat upland areas of Bocas is the Rufous-necked wood-rail, Aramides axillaris. The Bare-necked umbrella bird is normally found at the higher elevation margin of the Bocas area, but can often be found in the near coastal fringe in non-breeding season.
Mammalian species include the Collared-peccary, who may be found in mainland Bocas del Toro lowland moist forest or grasslands. Also found here is the critically endangered Pygmy three-toed sloth, Bradypus pygmaeus, whose extant population of no more than a few hundred animals is restricted to the tiny (3.4 km2) island of Isla Escudo de Veraguas. There are also Central American red brocket, Mazama temama, a species of forest deer widespead in Mesoamerica.

This is the 50th episode of the StackOverflow podcast, where Joel and Jeff sit down with Steve Yegge of Google and the most excellent Stevey's Blog Rants.
This episode was recorded on site at the Kirkland, Washington Google office, where Joel gave a talk earlier in the day.
A brief discussion about the APL language, whose keywords are symbols. Imagine how challenging it would be to program in a language where you need a special keyboard. There's a more popular (not sure "popular" is the right word) version of APL named J which drops the symbols in favor of plain ASCII.
How big a fan of working at Google is Steve? He worries that new hires from college will expect the rest of their working life to be as good as their Google experience.
Steve can finally talk about what he was working on, which he was so vague about on our previous podcast with him. Mostly, he was disturbed at the state of JavaScript tooling at Google -- "dude, you spelled it fuction again."
The state of the art in tools means painstakingly adding support for each individual language into each individual editor. What if there was a way to plug first-class language intellisense / compilation functionality into any editor -- in a generalized way? That's the problem Steve set out to solve.
Take compilers that are defined for IDEs -- Eclipse has three Java compilers built into it -- a fast inaccurate one as you type, a better batch one, and then a great big one that does exhaustive analysis on large trees (Steve says Eclipse has "a better Java compiler than the Java compiler".) This is all necessary to get good editor support! Why not take these compilers and run them on the google infrastructure, so they are commoditized and available to any editor?
Steve says the way tools and languages integrate today is utterly backwards. Languages should support the tools, rather than the other way around. "We should have been doing this for 20 years!"
Steve likens the comparison between compilation and dynamic typing to taking a shower and brushing your teeth. You should do both! The only reason we can't do both of these things is because, as Steve points out, our tooling currently sucks.
JavaScript has a more interesting origin than I realized -- it was originally based on Scheme.
Per Steve, Scala is like Haskell but with more concessions to real world programming. He points out that the great thing about Java is the fantastic tooling, which means it's ultimately a better programming experience than a theoretically "superior" programming language.
Joel doesn't hate Unix; FogBugz supports Unix (although that support tends to be complex and costly) and Joel regularly runs cygwin on his laptop. That said, modern Unixes have their faults too. Steve observes that the only way to determine what packages are installed on Ubuntu is to diff the dpackage output against a clean machine. Also, Firefox is very slow on Linux relative to Mac and Windows.
Stack Overflow is for programming related questions, but defining programming related isn't easy. There will always be a gray area, which is further complicated by the fact that we do want the _occasional _fun questions -- we just don't want the system overrun with the stuff.
Steve points out that even Amazon has examples of "fun" product reviews that wouldn't normally be permitted, such as On Amazon, All of a Sudden Everyone's a Milk Critic and The Story About Ping.
We answered the following listener questions on this podcast:
- "What is Joel's history with Unix? He mentions Unix a lot in vaguely pejorative ways. Did he have a bad early Unix experience?" No, Steve, the caller did not say "eunuchs"!
Our favorite Stack Overflow question this week is:
- What do I need to do in order to be a programmer out at sea? Exhibit A in the eternal close wars. We aren't sure this is a valid programming question, but some people object to it being closed. For that matter, some people object to anything being closed.
If you'd like to submit a question to be answered in our next episode, record an audio file (90 seconds or less) and mail it to email@example.com. You can record a question using nothing but a telephone and a web browser. We also have a dedicated phone number you can call to leave audio questions at 646-826-3879.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:38.
Courses taught by Jay Wickersham
07212: Issues in Architectural Practice and Ethics (PRO 0721200)
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday 2:00 - 5:00 Gund 111
Maryann Thompson, Jay Wickersham
Course Description
This course, for students in the fourth semester of the M.Arch I program, examines basic issues arising in contemporary architectural practice. The course challenges the students to examine critically a broad range of professional, legal, business, and ethical problems that they are likely to face in practice.
Each unit focuses on a case study that describes the actual experience of an architect, including several architects of national and international reputation. The subjects of the cases include: obtaining a commission, controlling construction costs, conflicts between the client and the community, the advantages and disadvantages of specialized practice, new forms of project delivery, monitoring a contractor's performance, working in another country, methods of collaboration, and the impacts of new technology. Several architects whose cases are studied visit the class as guest lecturers.
Each unit contains material to supplement the case study, exposing the student to related topics such as the roles of professional organizations, standard AIA contract forms, government regulation and design review, the economics of practice, architectural competitions, etc. Many units also contain companion exercises that present ethical dilemmas for class discussion, centering on an architect's conflicting duties to clients, the art and craft of architecture, colleagues, and the public.
Course requirements include participation in class discussions, a research paper, and a final exam. All course material is available without charge on the GSD website and in the library.

MIAMI -- Forwards Jermaine O'Neal and Yakhouba Diawara of the Miami Heat have exercised options to remain under contract for next season.
Both had contracts mandating they "opt in" for the final years of their deal. O'Neal will make nearly $23 million in 2009-10, while Diawara's salary is around $900,000.
O'Neal averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 rebounds this past season for the Heat and Toronto Raptors. Diawara, who started 21 games in his first season with Miami and third overall in the NBA, averaged 3.4 points per game.

Hey guys, been not that long
Almost finished with redesign, got a couple more things and then these snags.
First and foremost problem -
My airplane window. All I'm lookin for it to do is go from left to right and loop, that's it. I got the idea from this tutorial: http://www.gayadesign.com/diy/text-w...s-with-jquery/
also don't knock my sky background its basically just a placeholder right now till I get this animation working
I cannot use the backgroundposition plugin as it throws my gallery out of whack. I explained this to a programmer friend of mine and asked if he could come up with it. Couldn't be but a few lines of code is what I'm thinking. He came back with this
Anyway after sending me this he promptly went to bed.
My second problem is less drastic but a nuisance I need resolved as it takes away from the pleasantry of reading on the move in Chrome and IE. My scrollto performance in these browsers is killing me and the same on any computer. I dont get it and cant find anything on it. Is it just too much jquery?
I need to keep my long transitions.
thanks for reading and triple thanks up front if you can help.

Years of service deserve praiseJuly 15,2013Years of service
deserve praise
It is incomprehensible that Mr. Pulcer would compare the work done by Mr. Terenzini for 30 some years to that of our Sen. Leahy. In case Mr. Pulcer doesnt realize, Tom Terenzini was dealing face to face on a daily basis with the thugs, misfits and other criminals that the state system has chosen to put where they are.
Mr. Leahy and, yes, Sanders and Welch are part of an organization, supposedly working for our best interests, that has an approval rating that doesnt even make the double-digit level. Isnt that something to be proud of? If Mr. Terenzinis approval rating by his employer was at that level, we all know that his tenure would have been much less than 30 years. Thanks go to people every hour of every day who put themselves in positions of danger and unpredictable actions by many of the people that those such as Mr. Terenzini are required to face by virtue of the job they were hired to do. There isnt enough money anywhere to get me to do that type of work. Instead of being chastised, as Mr. Pulcer has done, I want to publicly thank Mr. Terenzini and all others who deal with these failures of our society on a daily basis.
As for the politicians in Washington, I never have been a promoter of a term limit law, until lately. It cant come fast enough to suit me.

Only 100 pages to go in "Frog Music." Fans of Emma Donoghue's, like me, have been waiting for her next novel after speeding through her debut bestseller "Room."
Donoghue sets her newest against the backdrop of the Gold Rush in San Francisco, the summer of 1876. At the center of the action is Blanche Beunon, a French dance hall girl who befriends Jenny Bonnet, a gun-toting, boyish gal who's shot dead on the first pages of the novel.
