The Amarillo Dusters will try to shake off the effects of a 19-hour bus ride and get back on the winning track today against a Stockton team that has lost six consecutive games.
The Game: Amarillo Dusters (4-3) at Stockton Lightning (1-6), 9 tonight, Stockton Arena, Stockton, Calif.
Radio: KPUR 107.1-FM, 9 p.m.
"Stockton won its first game of the season,'' said Dusters head coach Chris MacKeown, "but hasn't won since.
"They have made a lot of personnel changes in an effort to get better. This is a game we have to look past their record and make sure we play well."
Stockton is playing its first home game following a three-game road swing that saw them lose at Iowa (47-24), Boise (77-14) and Central Valley (58-45).
The Dusters, who had won three straight games and four of five, were beaten last week at home by Lubbock (69-35).
"That was a big game for us in a lot of ways and we pretty well stunk it up offensively," said MacKeown.
"We had gone five games in a row with no turnovers, and against Lubbock we had four that proved costly. We got off to a bad start on offense in the first quarter and just struggled most of the game."
MacKeown said quarterback Joel Steele would start today after missing four games with a broken wrist suffered in the opener at Tulsa on March 29.
Steele played in the fourth quarter the last two games, and MacKeown said the injured wrist has healed sufficiently enough for him to start.
"Julian (Reese) struggled at quarterback last week, but that's not the reason I'm starting Joel this week. I said all along that an injury wouldn't be reason enough for Joel to lose his starting job.
"It's just time for him to get back into the flow of the game. He knows the offense and is ready to play."
MacKeown said a win today would be big.
"We have a bye week coming up, and winning this week would be a nice way to go into that,'' he said. ''We're banged up as a team, with a lot of nagging injuries to a number of players. Most of the teams in the league are in the same situation as we are, so it's not an excuse for how we play. We just have to adjust the best we can."
This is the Dusters' fourth road game of the season and a win would even their record at 2-2 away from home.
Following the team's bye week they will travel to Austin on June 1 before returning home to face Arkansas on June 7.

Released: Jun 01st, 2006
Running Time: 88
Company: Ghetto Life Entertainment
Cast: Devlin Weed, Lola Lane, Kitty (I), Guy Di Silva, Pebbles, Carmen Hayes, Others
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
Guy Di Silva has a lot to be thankful for. First he gets up close and personal with Lola Lang and her abundant charms — then he gets to do the same thing all over again with Pebbles. Lang squirms and looks delish, while Pebbles is quieter but no less appealing to the eye.
Devlin Weed isn't in a position to complain, either. Carmen Hayes is a tall, slim drink of water with an enticingly active rack. Her fuzzy walking boots don't add much heat to the scene, but the fact she hangs in there for the duration even after choking as Weed's load slams into her throat makes up for her questionable fashion sense.
Kitty is a big girl with some stylin' color in her long hair and some ample goddamn boobies on her. Off camera chatter distracts her, and all the scenes end abruptly, which is annoying, but she's fun to watch.
Retailing: A wide variety of black titties with plenty of camera time for their admiration.

Exercise a Must for Losing Deep Belly Fat
When a woman with type 2 diabetes wants to lose her belly, exercise is her best friend.
Even if she diets perfectly, eating all the right foods in ideal amounts, her waistline may not budge unless she works out. Exercise is required to lose excess fat deep in the abdomen, says a new study.
Why is it so important to lose abdominal fat? Researchers have shown that having even a little extra fat in the wrong places can increase the chances of developing disease. Fat deep in the abdomen, called visceral fat, poses a greater health risk than fat on other parts of the body, such as the hips.
Exercise has already been shown to help obese people without diabetes lose visceral fat. Now, the verdict is in for overweight diabetic women: Get moving to get rid of this dangerous fat.
Fat metabolism is altered in women with type 2 diabetes, write the researchers. That's why they focused their study on the effects of exercise in obese women with type 2 diabetes.
Focusing on Food and Fitness
Thirty-three obese, postmenopausal women participated. On average, they were about 57 years old and had had diabetes for at least one year.
The women were in for a major change when they enrolled in the 14-week study. None had dieted or exercised regularly in a year.
The women were divided into three groups. Some women were given a low-calorie diet high in healthy monounsaturated fats like olive oil.
The dieting women also got nutritional consultation, a week's worth of menu ideas, and a weekly meeting for motivation and support.
Another group was given a supervised aerobic exercise program consisting of walking 50 minutes three times a week, occasionally doing other activities for variety. The third group followed both programs.
Before and after the study the women got MRI scans to see how much visceral fat they had.
Diet alone did not reduce visceral fat. Only exercise alone or exercise plus dieting reduced visceral fat.
The researchers say their study demonstrates the importance of exercise in reducing visceral fat in the treatment of women with type 2 diabetes.
The study appears in the March issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

We have a day for giving thanks. We have Black Friday and Cyber Monday two-for-one deals. And now we have Giving Tuesday for giving back to the community! #GivingTuesday is propelled by those who believe that passion and commitment can make a difference.
Talk about adding insult to injury.
Over the past four years, the League of Women Voters of Kansas (LWVKS) has been pushing back against a harmful proof-of-citizenship voter registration state law. This law, championed by the Secretary of State, requires anyone registering to vote to provide documentation, such as a birth certificate, to prove that they are citizens.
Today, the state of Kansas begins the process of purging tens of thousands of voters from a suspension list created for otherwise eligible voters who were unable to fulfill a restrictive proof-of-citizenship requirement.
In the region of the country that saw the creation of the national League of Women Voters 95 years ago, the struggle to ensure the right to vote for all citizens continues. For years the League of Women Voters of Kansas has been fighting to protect the voting rights of Kansans from an onslaught of anti-voter legislation.
We are now two months into the 2015 State Legislative sessions and as expected we have seen a groundswell of assaults on voters in many states. At the same time, we are happy to report that there are a few states where pro-voter reforms are moving forward.
A U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that Florida's plan to purge voters just before the 2012 elections was prohibited by the National Voter Registration Act. "This is a big win for voters and a significant victory for good election administration practices," said Elisabeth MacNamara, League president.
Our President, Elisabeth MacNamara, returned to Politics Nation with Al Sharpton as a guest on Monday evening. She was joined by the Supervisor of Elections of Leon County, FL. They spoke about voter suppression and the efforts to purge the voter rolls in Florida.

Crew Cut: Bloody Best of 3's
The two Crews, eager to show off their marksmanship, tactics and teamwork, requested to play three rounds of Max Payne 3's signature Multiplayer mode, Gang Wars. Starting off in Nova Esperança, MaxPayneDev2 (remember that each Crew hosted a Rockstar player on their team in order to keep things fair and also to facilitate live-streaming) and the WEED Crew faced off with MaxPayneDev3 and DEVL. Although WEED edged the first chapter of All Out Warfare 31-27, DEVL took the second, third and fourth, securing an advantage in the fifth that WEED just could not overcome. Burning with anger in the São Paulo Bus Depot, the Outlawz were looking to make a statement. Rocking Dev3 right out of the gate, londonsfinestAJ2 certainly did just that. DEVL's elateduncle26924 just could not be stopped, racking up five kills almost immediately. Thankfully, THEBLUE3_D3VIL714 with 17 kills and sean_mallory with 15, stepped it up to capture the turf for WEED and some momentum. After losing in the second chapter, WEED went all out in the third, going on a 16-4 run straight away. DEVL came back with a vengeance and with 30 seconds left and a 49-48 WEED lead, the chapter became a punch for punch slugfest. With that, the Outlawz took it 65-50. They dominated even more so in the fourth and, in a very close fifth chapter, the Outlawz pulled through for the victory. At a 1-1 tie, this beef was to be settled in the final round.
Finishing things off in Hoboken, DEVL's cooljats led the way to a chapter one win, letting the folks in WEED know that they were not ready to get burned again. The second chapter saw DEVL destroying WEED yet again, 100-35. Despite strong efforts, the Outlawz just couldn't catch up and wound up losing Hoboken and thus the afternoon. Props to the victorious upstarts in DEVL for making WEED look blunted and burnt in the end - and to both sides for keeping everyone who watched the stream at the edge of their seats. You can watch the match in its entirety here.
Just last week, the Grim Reaper Banditz got in touch to let us know that they were up for an intimate 3v3 fight with Craze Crew. The Banditz have a 36-point advantage over Craze in terms of Feud win percentage, which meant that on paper this looked like it could get embarrassing. But the Craze Crew were out to prove that paper Crews win paper cups....
With a Rockstar player on each side, we began with a Team Deathmatch amidst the shanty town of Nova Esperança. This became a battle for territory, as both Crews sought to secure the brick and concrete balconies in the highest corner of the map. Although the Banditz spawned closer, Craze Crew moved as one up the left flank to take the vantage point. They were soon up 21-9 and looking comfortable. However, at this point, GrimmBandit, Dev2 and JaKeS BaNd1t made a power play for the crow's nest and were able to rain down fire on the scattered CRZE. With 3 minutes to go, the score was level at 49, but 3 quick kills with no response saw the Craze Crew jump ahead with the lead. Spread out along the ramparts, they were able to create a crossfire to defend against worthy attempts to outflank from JaKeS BaNd1t. Lacking grenades or rockets to oust the Craze Crew from their fox hole, Dev1 and company could only run blindly into the rain of hot lead coming from up on high and the Craze Crew closed out the match 75-59 - Black-Kevin taking the Top Player award.
Moving on to a Gang War in the Bus Depot, a round of Total Turk saw the Banditz go completely AWOL as the Craze Crew were able to hold onto to all three turfs for almost the entire game. Games of Grab and Takedown went much the same way, and so would Passage but for an exceptional defensive performance at the last in the house over the sewers. Overall it was a very close 25-23 in favor of Craze in the final round - a real pulse pounder towards the end. Being down 0-2 going into the last round didn't stop the Grim Reaper Banditz from putting on a solid display in the final Team Deathmatch showdown of the afternoon. At about the midpoint of the match, the Banditz took control for good on their way to a decisive 73-53 victory against the backdrop of the crumbling Hoboken streets and apartments - fueled by JaKeS BaNd1t's merciless 33-6 showing, wielding both the IA2 AR and Sawn-Off with impressive proficiency throughout the match, as Dev3 can certainly attest. Check out the full match here.

WASHINGTON — The weekend massacre of Afghan civilians, allegedly carried out by a U.S. soldier, newly undermines the rationale for a war that a majority of Americans already thought wasn't worth fighting. But the Obama administration and its allies insisted Monday the horrific episode would not speed up plans to pull out foreign forces.
President Barack Obama called the episode "tragic," and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called it "inexplicable."
Obama told a television interviewer Monday that the killings underscore the need to hand over responsibility for security to Afghans. But he said it won't lead to an early withdrawal of U.S. troops.
"It does signal, though, the importance of us transitioning, in accordance with my plan," Obama told WFTV of Orlando, Fla., "so that Afghans are taking more of the lead for their own security and we can start getting our troops home."
Clinton told reporters at the United Nations in New York, "This terrible incident does not change our steadfast dedication to protecting the Afghan people and to doing everything we can to build a strong and stable Afghanistan."
Administration officials were reacting to the weekend killing of 16 Afghan civilians, including nine children asleep in their beds. A U.S. Army staff sergeant is accused of slipping away from his base in the Taliban heartland of Kandahar and shooting nearby villagers in their homes.
Despite the deaths, "Our strategic objectives have not changed and they will not change," White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
The killings were the latest in a series of deadly incidents that caused outrage for both Americans and Afghans.
The killing of Americans by their Afghan hosts and of Afghans by the Americans who are supposed to help them have forced an acute examination of a war strategy that calls for Afghans to assume greater responsibility for security through mentoring and "shoulder by shoulder" joint operations.
Obama expanded the Afghan war in the first year of his presidency, saying it was in keeping with U.S. national security interests in contrast to the Iraq war he opposed. But the war, now in its 11th year, remains a stalemate in much of the country, while the al-Qaida terror network that the war is supposed to deter has largely abandoned Afghanistan. U.S. commandos killed Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden last year.
The war is increasingly becoming a political headache for Obama, with American voters appearing frustrated and Republican rivals accusing him of mishandling it.
In results from a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted before the killings and released Sunday, 55 percent of respondents said they think most Afghans oppose what the United States is trying to do there. And 60 percent said the war in Afghanistan has been "not worth fighting."
Many Republicans — who as a party fought against a quick exodus in Iraq and criticized Obama's 2008 presidential campaign promise to end that war — are now reluctant to embrace a continued commitment in Afghanistan.
"We have to either make a decision to make a full commitment, which this president has not done, or we have to decide to get out and probably get out sooner" than planned in 2014, GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said Monday. He spoke on NBC's "Today" show.
Said GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich: "I think that we're risking the lives of young men and women in a mission that may, frankly, not be doable."
Still, Mitt Romney said he "wouldn't jump to a new policy based upon some deranged, crazy person."
Under an agreement with the Afghan government, some U.S. and NATO forces are to stay in Afghanistan at least through the end of 2014.

STOCKTON — A local advocacy and support group for families of children and teens with emotional and behavior issues is accepting registration for a new beginning course to help families learn how to cope.
Offered by the San Joaquin County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI, the "NAMI Basics" course begins on March 28. From then it will meet once a week on Fridays, from 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in Stockton.
"NAMI Basics provides an important road map to guide families during difficult times," NAMI program director Debbie Alter said in a news release announcing the new course.
The course is meant to give parents and other family caregivers help, taught by teachers who, themselves, are parents of children who developed emotional and behavioral problems before reaching the age of 13.
Course topics include: getting an accurate diagnosis, treatment options, strategies for challenging behavior, working well with your child's teachers and coping skills.
To register, call Alter (209) 478-7799 or send an email to email@example.com. For more information about the organization, go to namisanjoaquin.org.

March 26, 2013 by Rob Newell
Make no mistake about it, FLW Tour pro JT Kenney did not become a professional bass fisherman for fame and fortune. He did not become a professional bass fisherman to have a flashy jacked-up truck with 22s and a boat trailer with custom rims. He did not become a professional bass fisherman to be the grinning host of a fishing show.
JT Kenney became a professional bass fisherman because it's a job - a way to make a living - not much different from a career in agriculture or perhaps aquaculture.
Much like a farmer who harvests crops from the fields then separates the wheat from the chaff and brings product to market to get paid, Kenney says his job is very similar.
"I'm a fish harvester, an employee of the water," Kenney suggests. "I catch fish, separate the big ones from the little ones and bring them to the scales to get paid."
Kenney, who lives in Palm Bay, Fla., fundamentally sees professional bass fishing as being much more about casting and reeling for sustenance instead of wheeling and dealing for recognition.
"Here's the bottom line," Kenney says candidly. "I really like harvesting and consuming wild game and fish. Fishing is more than just catching to me. I like to hunt fish. I like to catch fish. I like to clean fish. And I really like to cook fish. The whole process is gratifying to me."
Obviously the keeping and cleaning of freshwater bass became passe years ago with the advent of catch and release in tournament fishing. Plus, the taste of black bass is not all that desirable when compared to white fish from the ocean, so Kenney's true fish harvesting is often done with snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi, cobia, redfish or snook.
"I live about 6 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and I pretty much live off that pond," Kenney says with a grin. "I call it God's Grocery Store and it's my favorite place to shop. At my house we eat fish and game at least five nights a week."
So what does harvesting saltwater fish have to do with tournament bass fishing?
The way Kenney views it, catching and weighing in bass at catch-and-release tournaments is just another form of "harvesting," except you get paid by the weight and then the quarry is set free.
"If you do your job well and bring in a good harvest, you get paid," Kenney says. "If you don't, you go home empty handed."
And for Kenney, going away empty-handed means not being able to pay bills.
"Don't get me wrong, I like my job and I'm thankful for my job," Kenney says. "But to me it's a job. Fishing is how I pay bills and put food on the table. I go out on the water to cast and reel for 9 to 12 hours a day no matter the conditions or how bad the fishing is."
Kenney's point is well made. The vast majority of his work as a professional angler is tedious and unheralded, like so many repetitious activities can be when they become a wage-earning obligation.
"I'm not complaining," Kenney adds. "I just think a lot of people look at what we do as professional anglers and think it's a 12-month vacation or some kind of rock concert and I can assure you it's not. It's a job."
And when it comes to his job, Kenney has done a pretty darn good job. He recently broke the million-dollar mark in winnings and in the last five seasons of competition he has cashed a check in nearly 70 percent of the events he has fished.
Some of those checks have come from the EverStart Series where Kenney has been a mainstay since 2002 when he began fishing FLW events.
Last year Kenney fished 10 FLW Tour events and two divisions of the EverStart Series - the Southeast and the Northeast - 19 tournaments in all.
Some questioned Kenney's logic about fishing so many events in a season, but Kenney always returns to the same reasoning: "It's my job."
"I pay my bills with tournament winnings," Kenney says. "I have to fish tournaments to get paid. And I've paid a lot of bills with EverStart winnings over the years."
Kenney contends that grouper still taste better." border="1" align="left" />
Indeed he has. In 2011 he was the EVS Southeast Division Angler of the Year and he won the EverStart Series Northern Division event on Lake Champlain in 2012.
In terms of FLW Tour competition, 2012 also marked Kenney's strongest season yet, posting 8th in the points. In fact, 2012 ended up being quite a season for Kenney. Out of his 19 events he cashed 15 checks totaling $194,248.00.
To put that in Kenney's terms, he "harvested" a grand total of 624 pounds of bass in 2012, bringing the value of his bounty to $311.39 per pound. Not too bad for a fish harvester from Florida.
"Bass may be worth more but grouper still taste better," Kenney quips.
Early in his career, Kenney considered himself a bank beater, earning a lot of his loot from shallow water with a flipping stick. But these days, Kenney has taken his fishing to a much deeper level thanks to the incredible innovations in side scanning and down imaging.
"I owe a lot of my success the last couple of years to Lowrance and the Structure Scan innovations," Kenney says. "It has gotten me off the bank and out into deeper water where untapped schools of bass live. Instead of dreading fishing deep, I actually look forward to it now, especially cranking."
The deep game has rekindled Kenney, like getting a new office with a change of scenery. On lakes like Eufaula, Rayburn and Kentucky Lake he now turns his back to the bank to find offshore fish and it has helped him become a more consistent check casher.
"Instead of staring at the bank, now I stare at a bottom machine," Kenney laughs. "When you fish the bank, you don't really know if you are around fish. But when you can see them on your screen, you know for a fact there are fish down there and it makes a tremendous difference mentally. Now I'm almost annoyed when I have to go fish the bank, not knowing whether something lives there or not. That graph has become like a wubby - it's so comforting to see arches on your screen."
And for the fish harvester from Florida, those arches are dollar signs.

Sean,I'm going to be honest here mate. I also going to try and be fair (gulp). I've read some of the other comments about todays game, and I have to conclude that:-1.Everton played and beat us at our own game in the first half.2. I did not expect a win today, I expected a draw at best, based on current form and our formation.3. I did not expect the yellows and reds to be flying all over the game either. Our teams don't have a history of over physicality (if that's a word)4. When we changed our game plan from short direct passing to long ball, Everton didn't seem to react to it.5. The scoreline flattered us today, especially when you consider that our goals weren't up to our usual quality.6. The main difference seemed to be the desire. After the Utd defeat, our boys were much more 'up for it'.7. Based on this half of the season, Moysie should have your boys in or very near a CL place ahead of your big spending neighbours.

pain & cramps, 11.5 weeks
Comments (3)
I spotted brown over the week after moving into a new house... I know I over-exerted myself, and the spotting was so little... barely staining the toilet paper. It never progessed to cramping like my miscarriage did, but I was still awake allll night waiting for the pain to start. Talk about PTSD... It is wonderful having my own doppler though. I recommend it! 60 bucks for the sonoline b.

How do Indian firms tackle love birds in the corporate park?
November was the month when the behind-every-successful-man-is-awoman theory turned turtle. The incoming CEO of defence giant Lockheed Martin, Christopher Kubashik resigned after allegedly carrying on an affair with a subordinate employee. CIA Director David Petraeus also resigned after his alleged affair with his biographer Paul Broadwell was uncovered when the FBI launched an investigation into the hacking of the former general's email.
Media reports spoke of a change in the corporate scene where a close watch was being kept on the behaviour of executives. Some, like Mumbaibased HR consultant Shishir Dave, would blame it on the fiercely competitive atmosphere that most professionals today function in. With little time to spare, there's no room for social interaction, upping the temptation to spring a relationship at work. "When you spend so many hours with a colleague, you are bound to develop camaraderie. You take the interaction outside office, meeting up for dinner or drinks. You empathise with each other over work pressure and office politics. Often, romance can develop," he says.
Dave's experience has revealed that IT firms, call centres and media houses, all handicapped by irregular work hours, are the best breeding grounds for at-work affairs.
"But HR personnel don't meddle until it affects performance, productivity or office morale," he says.
Aruna Sampat, founder and director, Career Catalysts HRC, seconds Dave. Multinational firms, she says, are known to lay down a code of conduct for appropriate behaviour. "If you are involved with someone at work, the best approach would be to park your personal life at the door each morning, and keep it there."
Back in India, most firms prefer not to put the policy down on paper. "The affair shouldn't affect company policy. So, a banker isn't allowed to fall in love with his client because then it turns into an issue of ethics," explains Dave. Several relationships end up in marriage, and that's when certain firms have been seen to ask one partner to quit. "The final call is always the management's," he adds. Reactions of course, depend on the details.
While former US president Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky went awry, there are feel-good love@work fables — Barack and Michelle Obama first met at a Chicago law firm, Bill and Melinda Gates met at Microsoft. A relationship that smacks of favouritism or stokes feelings of unfairness of evaluation and reward, is one that won't be accepted, says the HR manager of an FMCG giant. Brian Dunn, CEO of American consumer electronics firm Best Buy, resigned in April after his company began investigating his affair with his 29-year-old female subordinate. An internal probe revealed that he had "violated company policy by engaging in an extremely close personal relationship with a female employee that negatively impacted the work environment." The closeness, they say, was evident in their spending time alone in Dunn's office and their lunch and drinks meetings.
Sampat recalls a similar case of favouristism that occurred at a media house in Mumbai. One of them was given promotions and generous increments over three consecutive years. The junior 'partner' was shown the door, and the senior was asked to leave in a few months. "When seniors in a firm are involved in affairs, they tarnish the authority, reputation and responsibility attached to their post. Affairs in junior ranks, however, are mostly ignored," says Sampat.
Dave says, age matters, too. "As a 21-year-old fresher, holding a colleague's hand can be overlooked. But if you are 40, your behaviour is supposed to match your experience."
While the romantics argue that relationships at work help partners stay motivated and happy, Dave has a piece of advice: An employee must remember that he's here to make his career, not family. Billionaire and founder-director of Virgin group, Richard Branson's solution is to lay down 'sensible guidelines instead of prohibitive rules'. In a recent article he was quoted as saying, "A great company behaves something like an extended family — cheering successes, finding the upside of mistakes and getting together periodically to reconnect. Employees' falling in love is all part of the adventure. It should be celebrated."

Most important WordPress Plugins
These are some of the plugins I use on this very site.
WordPress is a miracle itself, with the ease of the installation process and the user-friendly interface and everything, but it comes quite bare.
If you want impressive performance, easy user interaction, good search engine optimization you do need some plugins.
- Akismet
- Akismet is a plugin to protect you from spam comments. It comes with the default installation, but you have to register and API key. You can choose the amount of money you want to donate; please be generous, they'll really catch unwanted comments.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/
- WordPress SEO
- This is far the most complete and easy to use SEO plugin provided by Joost de Valk. It help removing unnecessary meta tags, taxonomy bases from ULRs, adds support for SEO titles, and so on. Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/
My current configuration for import as a ZIP file.
- Google Analytics for WordPress
- This plugins was developed by the same Joost de Valk as the first-rate SEO plugin. With this, you can easily add Analytics to your site. Far more easy to manage and install than the others.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/
- Hyper Cache
- There are really good all-in-one cache plugins for WordPress, Hyper Cache only adds page caching support, but it is probably the fastest and the most lightweight on this topic.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hyper-cache/
- WP-Paginate
- The default pagination in WordPress is not good, it just simply lack any good features, like pagination itself. Prev/next is not pagination, at least no anything like this plugin adds.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-paginate/
- TinyMCE Advanced
- Adds a configuration possibility of the Visual editor's capabilities, for example tables, advanced images, etc.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/
- WP to Twitter
- Really easy to install and easy but widely configurable plugin to automatically post content to twitter as well. You can even specify the text that should be tweeted.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-to-twitter/
- Ultimate Post Type Manager
- As of WordPress 3.0 you are able to define custom post types beside the original Page and Post, for example Products or Poems or anything. This plugins add GUI for easy extending.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-post-type-manager/
- Ultimate Taxonomy Manager
- WordPress 2.3 gained the ability to add custom relation types (taxonomy) into your side next to Category and Tag. This plugins add GUI for easy configuration.
Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-taxonomy-manager/
- WordPress MU Domain Mapping
- This plugin differs from the others. First of all, this is only for WordPress Networks. Second: after the installation and activation for the whole network, you need to copy a file, to modify some and to configure the mapping for the domains. A very good tutorial was made by Otto on using Domain Mapping plugin. Plugin site: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/
Of course, my list is not complete. There are other very good plugins as well a lot I've never tried yet. I'm intending to update this list whenever I find something vital again.

Browns quarterback Jason Campbell was medically cleared to practice this afternoon, a step in the right direction on his comeback path from the concussion he suffered Nov. 24 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
An independent neurologist would still need to clear Campbell to play Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots. If Campbell receives the green light, he'll be expected to start.
"Jason Campbell has been cleared to practice today," Browns coach Rob Chudzinski announced today. "He still has not and will not pass the independent neurologist test until we see how he does today and in the next 24-48 hours obviously we would have more information on that. But he would need to pass that before he would be cleared to play in the game."
Meanwhile, quarterback Brandon Weeden has not been cleared to practice after suffering a concussion Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was cleared to resume activity, but not practice, earlier this week. Weeden was the only player on the Browns' active roster who sat out practice today.
Chudzinski said the Browns will continue to prepare recently signed quarterbacks Caleb Hanie and Alex Tanney to start in the event Campbell and Weeden cannot play.
The quarterbacks took reps in the following order today during individual drills: Campbell, Hanie and Tanney. Campbell's passes were sharp and his footwork was smooth.
Although Campbell is not guaranteed to be cleared, Chudzinski said "it's very encouraging" that he was cleared to practice this afternoon.
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner agreed.
"It's the next step, and I was relieved," Turner said. "But I do know that he's got another step to go to be cleared. We've been meeting extra with [Hanie and Tanney] and doing everything we can to cover all the bases."

We need to arrange several pop rock songs. The band has vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. In addition, we add a trumpet. Do you have any idea, method or example of how to play the songs with the trumpet?
I suppose with a cornet you'll have the ability to add something extra in for texture, so something like finding the main melody line in the song, whether it be with guitar or vocals have the trumpet follow this line to emphasise the line and it could offer a massive difference to the sound and feel of the song depending, you should try looking at reel big fish, they get away with a trumpet
I think the answers so far spend too few consideration on the fact that we're talking here about a single trumpet added to a standard rock ensemble. Sure, there is lots of pop/rock music with brass and wind, but that is actually quite different from only having a single trumpet.
Typically, a single wind or brass instrument would only be truly capable of some solos. In some cases you might be able to mimick a full horn section and re-inforce part of a guitar riff. However, with a single trumpet, it is going to sound very thin, and you'll risk sounding like the rest of the horn backing section is on sick leave.
If the band is serious about adding wind/brass, you should consider getting either or both a (tenor) sax and trombone. This will allow you to make more background arrangements, and the arrangements can continue even when one brass has a solo. If that is not an option, I fear the trumpet will be confined to playing an intro or a solo here and there, maybe a couple of accents on a hook.
There are some good examples. Have a look at Less Than Jake's song, Gainesville Rock City:
You need to arrange the songs so it works, but rock music can definitely cope with non-standard instruments.
There are several examples of bands with horns (including trumpets). Going back a few decades two of the most prominent would be "Blood Sweat and Tears" and "Chicago." There's also the 70's band "Tower of Power." How about the Beatles ("All you Need Is Love")? The one-hit-wonder band "Alive and Kicking" with "Tighter, Tighter."
Good luck!
First question is what do you want the horns to do? Just back up the band--as in a a typical horn section?
If this is the case, the horns typically add support to the chord changes--so, you could try having the horn notes mirror the root and harmony notes of the individual chords. Many many R&B tunes are based on a I-IV-V progression--and the horns support as indicated (harmonizing against the chord changes)--and for the refrain, they typically walk down in a V-IV-Flat III-Root sequence (not necessarily single whole tones down.
If you want the horns to carry melodies, that is an entirely different question, and I think whether a horn would sound good doing that really depends on the piece--a lot of music sounds good w/ backing horns, but not necessarily w/ horns carrying the melody--just my 2 cents
Put it through some effects, like an octave lower-er or something that makes the sound very reverberaty / echoey. That way you can add ambience or texture without distracting from the rest of the composition and layers.
Check out the band Cake, they do a great job adding horn skillfully without using any sort of effects.

As the Kenai Chamber of Commerce continues to celebrate six decades of serving the business interests they continue to underscore the fun that it is to live and do business in Kenai.
For the second year in a row, thanks to the Bias family owners of the Peninsula Center Mall the Easter Bunny made a pre-holiday appearance on the Peninsula.
The same formula that has earned Mitch and his son Dallas Seavey international fame as multiple extreme sport champions of the Iditarod Sled Dog race hopefully will earn Conway Seavey the success he is seeking in the world of contemporary music.
U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski spent Friday, April 3rd on the Kenai Peninsula connecting with a number of constituents from different industries.
Long time Kenai resident, Chamber board president and City Mayor Ron Malston was honored at a recent Kenai Chamber of Commerce meeting by the Kenai Lions Club with the prestigious Melvin Jones Award.
The Kenai Fire Department took St. Patrick's Day for the occasion of showcasing their new rescue response water craft. "This will be our new primary rescue boat for the department," said Chief Jeff Tucker on a perfect spring day.
Prior to the Easter Bunny making his rounds this year the Easter Elk was spotted on the Central Peninsula delivering Easter baskets filled fun items for kids from two to ninety two.
Forget whatever you might have thought "Going to the dogs" means, because the new Doggy Styles is like a trip to Beverly Hills or a walk down Hollywood Blvd.
With the mild winter and early spring no one was disappointed that the 36th Annual Home Show sponsored by the Kenai Peninsula Builders Association (KPBA) and Spenard Builders Supply (SBS) came in March this year.

Tuesday Morning Reports Q1 Loss, Comp Store Sales On The Rise
Thursday October 31st, 2013 - 10:17AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Closeout retailer Tuesday Morning announced a net loss for its fiscal Q1 of $12 million, compared with a $7 million loss in the same period last year. However, the company posted a 9.1% comparable store sales increase, which was fueled by a 13.4% increase in customer transactions and a 4.3% decrease in average ticket price. Net sales for the company increased 6.3% to $183.7 million, compared to $172.8 million in the same quarter last year.
"While this is a year of significant transition for Tuesday Morning, I believe our first quarter results reflect early positive customer response to the initial changes we are making. Though we've made great progress thus far, there is much work yet to be done in the coming quarters," said CEO Michael Rouleau.
The quarterly loss was a continuation of Tuesday Morning's results. The company reported a loss of $15.6 million, or 37 cents per share, in its fourth quarter. It reported a full-year loss of $56.4 million, or $1.33 per share, for fiscal 2013.

9:00 AM US Nov PMI Manufacturing rises to 52.8 vs consensus of 52.1, 51.0 in Oct. (PR)
9:00 AM On the hour: S&P +0.49%. 10-yr -0.19%. Euro +0.52% vs. dollar. Crude +0.86% to $89.67. Gold +0.32% to $1718.15.
Today's manufactuing ISM numbers (49.5) are so good they indicate recession and will prompt another downward revision of GDP. Lowest numbers since July 2009.
Mfg employment down almost 4 pts, same for new orders. Just rosy stuff.
Wait, as in on cue, JPM cut its GDP forecast cut to 1.5%
True! Still in recession...and it will have to be admitted shortly.
49.5% ISM is certainly not good. But you have to thanks Sandy and obstructionists to resolve the Cliff.
98% of tax payers are being screwed because the top 2% oligarchs want their unjustified 2002/2003 tax cuts permanently.

This is why public power ... should introduce other search engines. Personally, I am more in favour of engines that function according to language rather than states. ... I am afraid that with a European search engine, rich countries with big libraries, - France, the United Kingdom, Germany Spain or Italy - might stifle the others. It seems to me that language-based search engines would be fairer. But I am probably being utopian, as this would require the support of institutions. UNESCO would probably be in the best position to pilot it."

newbie spinner - intimidated
I really think I want to try hand spinning and then dyeing and knitting my own yarn. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to tell ppl that my sweater, socks, hat, gloved (or whatever) came to my house as a bag of fluff (they'd never know what roving or top means)!? it just sounds so cool! but I'm very intimidated by the thought. I mean I litterally want to turn a bag of fluff into a sweater, or whatever. so while I know DH isn't totally sold on the idea yet (he'll come around) I'm not sure I can do it either. but I WANT to. lol so I think I'd be much less intimidated if I had a few questions answered by people who know what they're doing first.
1. I've seen home made drop spindles online. seeing as how it would save on the cost to get started if I made my own (which is deffinatley what Dh wants) is it reasonable to expect to get a decent final product with a home made drop spindle?
2. I would like to eventually spin everything from fingering weight to worsted. is it realistic to expect to ever be able to spin fingering weight yarn on a drop spindle?
3. if I spin some yarn, and I decide the plys are too thick can I re-spin (or spin it more, or whatever) the plys (b-4 plying them) to get a thinner ply? or am I stuck with whatever comes out the first time?
4. when shopping for fibers how do I know if the final yarn will be felt-able or not? washable or not? I'm sure I'd like to spin some yarn that is machine washable as well. are there key words to look for when shopping around that will tell me if the fibers will be machine or hand washable once spun? or is it in the spinning that makes it washable or not? how will I know? (see I told you I'm intimidated)
5. are there types of fibers to stay away from? fibers that give a yucky or course yarn? things that make it hard to spin? basically I want nice soft yarn, are there things that would prevent this end product that I should stay away from?
6. what's the difference between top and roving? is one easier or better than the other?
7. how much yarn would I get per pound of fiber if I'm spinning worsted weight yarn approximately? I need to figure out how much to order my first time.
I can't answer your questions because I'm new to spinning as well. But I can comment on my personal experience with homemade drop spindle vs a purchased spindle. I started with a spindle made from a pencil, a cardboard circle for the whorl and a cup hook screwed into the eraser. It worked somewhat. The whorl wasn't heavy enough and didn't spin long. Then DH made me one from a dowel and a circle of wood cut with a hole saw (make a hole in a door for a knob) and a cup hook. This spindle worked so much better! It spun longer than the pencil but still not as long as I've seen in videos. I longed for a bought one to see what the difference was. Well, last Wednesday I ordered a Golding spindle and received it on Thursday (that was quick!) and I will never look at Dh's spindle again. My toddler can play will it. The golding spins forever and my singles are much more consistent and thinner than I could make on the homemade one. I guess the whole point to my post is this... Even though Dh's woodworking skills just weren't good enough to make a balanced or light enough spindle for the yarn I wanted to make, his skills were good enough to see if I liked spindling before spending a lot on money on this new addictive hobby. :inlove:
Just jump in a do it. You can get spindles for as little as $10-20. It is a lot of fun and you can do it anywhere. Good Luck!
I like corriedale - easy for beginners to spin, but makes wonderful 'next-to-the-skin-soft' yarn
Glad to hear you want to have a go,but be warned its very addictive and you may find yourself staring over fences at sheep you've never even noticed were there before. I got started just as your doing and yes its intimadating, so many questions,so many choices, lets see if I can help.
Q1 Your home made drop spindle should be just as good as any bought one, never diss DH, just give him a little more information.The making of a good drop spindle is easy if you know how it works, everything depends on the distance from the botom of the shaft to the whorl(the round disc).When you can be there as DH makes yours you can decide whats best for you.When he puts the whorl on make it a tight fit and put it right at the end of shaft,then try spining it on a good long leader thread and count how long it goes for, then move the whorl up a little and try again, keep moving and trying untill you find the best position.Obviously light weight materials are best this is why although they are prettier the spindles turned on a lathe out of one piece of wood are not always the best to spin with.My DH has got so good at it he makes spindles for sale at my Spinners and Weavers Guild,and craft fairs.
Q2 Everything comes with practice, with well prepard fibre I can now spin lace weight.
Q3 Not easily, its easier to adapt a pattern than adapt a yarn.
Q4 I believe there is a machine washable merino available(its treated in some way) but usually a pure wool garment home made or bought is best hand wash only.
Q5 the only way to tell for sure is to get your hands on it, but most places will give item descriptions and main uses. The softer the fibre the more likely it is to felt, the coarser the less feltable, the trick is hitting a happy balance.
Q6 Roving already has a slight twist, so to make it draftable(easy to pull apart) you need to spin it in the other direction.In tops the fibers lie straight, for a beginner I would reccomend tops, less chance of going wrong.
Q7 If you spin 2ozs of (processed) fibre, you get 2ozs of yarn. Its yardage depends on how thick or thin its spun.
Hope this helps.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Anglo-Saxon name Herndon comes from the family having resided in the village of Harrowden in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire.
The surname Herndon was first found in Bedfordshire (Old English: Bedanfordscir), located in Southeast-central England, formerly part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, where they held a family seat from ancient times. Harrowden is a one-street hamlet in Bedfordshire. Great Harrowden and Little Harrowden are parishes and villages in Northamptonshire that date back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where collectively they were known as Hargedone. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) The place name literally means "hill of the heathen shrines or temples," from the Old English words "hearg" + "dun." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Ironically "Little" Harrowden has more inhabitants that "Great" Harroweden and that has been the case for more than 100 years. In the 15th century the manors of Great and Little Harrowden were held by Sir William Vaux who was slain at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. Great Harrowden Hall was built between 1716 and 1719. The All Saints Church dates back to Norman times and is famous for its medieval Doom (painting.) There is also a brass to William Harrowden from the 16th century located there.
Herndon has been spelled many different ways, including Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Harraden, Harradine, Haridine, Harridine, Horoden, Harnden, Herndon and many more.

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Herndons to arrive on North American shores:

in australia we have a saying "never let the truth get in the way of a good story" It looks a great stew, one thing is for certain some ones kissed the blarney stone
I have this simmering in a Crockpot right now and the smell is fabulous! This is perfect for a cold day like today. Haven't made the dumplings I am going to serve it with just some biscuits this time for dipping. Next time (and there will be a next time) I will make the dumplings. Thanks for sharing!

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab
By KBB.com Editors
Heavy-duty pickups are a special breed of hauler. These full-size leviathans are built to tote and transfer big-time payloads and pull trailers weighing in excess of 10,000 pounds. Chrysler's entrants in this segment, which includes competitors from Chevrolet, GMC and Ford, are the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups. Available in Regular, Quad or Mega Cab configurations, with rear- or four-wheel drive, short or standard bed lengths, shorter or longer wheelbases, single or dual rear wheels, multiple trim levels and HEMI V8 gasoline or Cummins Turbo Diesel power, these ultra-Rams offer everything the basic Ram 1500 pickup does while adding even greater all-around capability.
Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering.
Those who place a high importance on interior design and features may find more to admire in the Ram's heavy-duty competitors from Ford and GM. The Mega Cab's scale also requires mega-sized garages or parking spots.
A new, more-upscale SXT slots above the entry-level SL on Regular and Quad Cabs and becomes the new entry-level Mega Cab model. Top-of-the-line Laramie-trim Quad Cab models add wood-like interior accents, all 2500s get standard trailering mirrors and the transition from high to low range on 4x4 SLT and Laramie models is now done electrically rather than via a manual lever, as it is on SL and SXT models.
A strong, stiff frame and decently sorted suspension endow the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with a good basic foundation. The cabin is comfortable and reasonably well isolated and,...
... while the ride on certain road surfaces can get slightly choppy (particularly in an unladen 4x4 model), adding passengers or payload settles things down nicely and is a modest price to pay for the Ram's excellent all-around capabilities. Despite its tow-maxing bottom-end torque, the Cummins Turbo Diesel can't quite match the HEMI's off-the-line snap. But even the 2500 Laramie Quad Cab 4x4 we drove was still capable of accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds. Slightly raucous on cold starts, the potent diesel quickly quiets down and is always virtually smoke and odor-free. The six-speed automatic transmission is an equally laudable and smooth operator. Like the five-speed automatic that backs the HEMI engine, it offers a convenient Tow/Haul-mode switch on the shift lever.
Available Mega Cab
Quite literally the biggest cabin in the pickup segment, the Mega Cab's additional 20 inches of length yields outstanding accommodations for front-seat and, particularly, rear-seat passengers. Its 60/40-split flat-folding rear bench seat features reclining seatbacks and an additional 7.7 cubic feet of stowage space behind it. Other Mega Cab features include rear air-conditioning outlets and an available DVD system.
Cummins Turbo Diesel
While the HEMI may be slightly quicker, when it comes to sheer pulling power the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel is the clear choice. It boasts prodigious towing capabilities, outstanding reliability and durability, HEMI-beating fuel economy and "BlueTec" design enhancements that make it the only turbo-diesel clean enough to meet the EPA's 2010 requirements for NOx emissions levels.
Depending upon configuration and trim, interiors vary from decently civil in a vinyl-clad ST-level Regular Cab Ram 2500 with its 40/20/40-split bench seat, to quite nice in a cloth-covered six-passenger SXT or SLT Quad Cab and to demonstrably upscale in a leather-swathed and ultra-spacious Laramie-spec Mega Cab. The instruments are legible and most switches and controls well positioned – although the audio system selector buttons and the undersized display for the optional navigation system could use a rethink. While the Quad Cab's 60/40-split flat-folding rear seat will carry three adults in reasonable comfort, stepping up to Mega Cab spaciousness makes the aft quarters downright inviting and adds power-adjustable pedals plus numerous comfort and convenience touches.
The "big rig" look is a long-time Ram styling cue, and the 2500 and 3500 lineup carries on with the now-classic Dodge face that matches a prominent "gunsight" crossbar grille surrounded by bold brightwork (dark grey on the base ST) with squared-off fenders and wraparound headlamps. Additional shiny bits and chrome wheels are parts of higher trim levels, but no Ram truck includes a locking tailgate. There are two cargo-box lengths, of eight feet with the Regular Cab, six feet, three inches with the Mega Cab and either size for the Quad Cab. The rear doors on Quad and Mega Cab models swing open nearly 90 degrees to facilitate loading and unloading.
Even a base 2500 SL Regular Cab has air conditioning, a four-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system, dual 12-volt power outlets, tilt steering column, four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS) and dual front airbags. The new SXT trim adds chrome bumpers, cloth upholstery, power windows, locks and mirrors, keyless remote and cruise control, while the SLT has an overhead console and chrome steel wheels. The top-line Laramie trim level includes leather and faux wood in Mega Cabs as well as a power driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, steering-wheel cruise-control buttons, security alarm and more brightwork in Quad Cabs. All SLT and Laramie 4x4 models now feature electric activation of their dual-range transfer cases.
In addition to features that define specific trim levels, the Ram 2500 and 3500 offer an assortment of appeal-enhancing packages headed by the descriptively named Popular Equipment Group (ST/SLT), Navigation Convenience Group (SLT/Power Wagon/Laramie), Light Group (SXT/SLT) and Sport Appearance Group (SLT). Beyond the commercially-oriented Power Wagon, any SXT model can be equipped with the comprehensive TRX4 Off-Road package that includes skid plates, limited-slip differential, on and off-road tires, tow hooks and fog lamps. Stand-alone options include a bedliner, premium audio (with or without SIRIUS Satellite Radio), power sunroof, side air bags and electronic stability control (standard on Laramie) plus dedicated trailer towing upgrades.
The Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks offer two different engines for two different kinds of customers. Each delivers outstanding performance and is available with a choice of transmissions. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 makes 345 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. But even with Chrysler's efficiency-enhancing Multi-Displacement System, that can deactivate four cylinders under light-load cruising conditions, real-world mpg will still peak in the mid-teens with either the six-speed manual transmission or the available five-speed automatic. For those seeking up to 16,500 lb of towing capacity, there's the 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel. Available on nearly all 2500s and 3500s, this refined, rugged and super-clean diesel develops 350 horsepower with a heady 650 pound-feet of torque at 1500 rpm when backed with its available six-speed automatic or 610 pound-feet at 1400 rpm with the standard six-speed manual transmission.

"This truck is so much fun to drive. I also have a ford lightning and it has a 4 speed automatic.The driving fun is hurt by the auto trans. Not in the ram though. The 6 speed manual lets you feel the power of the 505 ci v10 engine. Also the seats make you feel very secure when driving."

"I've owned this truck since 2004 when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby and we bought it used with about 30k on the odometer. We've been across country (east to west!) about 4 times with this old girl, she's never quit. We can even fit all 3 kids in the back seat with really no cramping. (who needs a minivan? haha) We used to haul a 14k 5th wheel 2-4 times a month no problem. We've just recently had to rebuild the trans in it for almost $5k but we've put a ton of miles on it! More torque/power than ford or Chevy. We have upgraded the front end steering which may finally resolve the constant ball joint change we had to keep doing on the passenger side. We do run a banks six gun package on it and she still likes to get up and play :) It's a bit more expensive to maintain because parts are so big/pricey but the Cummins is a great engine. I do wish they had put a heavier duty trans in it, the stock one is kind of puny."
