Poem Title:
Kneel down, fair Love, and fill thyself with tears, Girdle thyself with sighing for a girth Upon the sides of mirth, Cover thy lips and eyelids, let thine ears Be filled with rumour of people sorrowing; Make thee soft raiment out of woven sighs Upon the flesh to cleave, Set pains therein and many a grievous thing, And many sorrows after each his wise For armlet and for gorget and for sleeve. O Love's lute heard about the lands of death, Left hanged upon the trees that were therein; O Love and Time and Sin, Three singing mouths that mourn now underbreath, Three lovers, each one evil spoken of; O smitten lips wherethrough this voice of mine Came softer with her praise; Abide a little for our lady's love. The kisses of her mouth were more than wine, And more than peace the passage of her days. O Love, thou knowest if she were good to see. O Time, thou shalt not find in any land Till, cast out of thine hand, The sunlight and the moonlight fail from thee, Another woman fashioned like as this. O Sin, thou knowest that all thy shame in her Was made a goodly thing; Yea, she caught Shame and shamed him with her kiss, With her fair kiss, and lips much lovelier Than lips of amorous roses in late spring. By night there stood over against my bed Queen Venus with a hood striped gold and black, Both sides drawn fully back From brows wherein the sad blood failed of red, And temples drained of purple and full of death. Her curled hair had the wave of sea-water And the sea's gold in it. Her eyes were as a dove's that sickeneth. Strewn dust of gold she had shed over her, And pearl and purple and amber on her feet. Upon her raiment of dyed sendaline Were painted all the secret ways of love And covered things thereof, That hold delight as grape-flowers hold their wine; Red mouths of maidens and red feet of doves, And brides that kept within the bride-chamber Their garment of soft shame, And weeping faces of the wearied loves That swoon in sleep and awake wearier, With heat of lips and hair shed out like flame. The tears that through her eyelids fell on me Made mine own bitter where they ran between As blood had fallen therein, She saying; Arise, lift up thine eyes and see If any glad thing be or any good Now the best thing is taken forth of us; Even she to whom all praise Was as one flower in a great multitude, One glorious flower of many and glorious, One day found gracious among many days: Even she whose handmaiden was Love--to whom At kissing times across her stateliest bed Kings bowed themselves and shed Pale wine, and honey with the honeycomb, And spikenard bruised for a burnt-offering; Even she between whose lips the kiss became As fire and frankincense; Whose hair was as gold raiment on a king, Whose eyes were as the morning purged with flame, Whose eyelids as sweet savour issuing thence. Then I beheld, and lo on the other side My lady's likeness crowned and robed and dead. Sweet still, but now not red, Was the shut mouth whereby men lived and died. And sweet, but emptied of the blood's blue shade, The great curled eyelids that withheld her eyes. And sweet, but like spoilt gold, The weight of colour in her tresses weighed. And sweet, but as a vesture with new dyes, The body that was clothed with love of old. Ah! that my tears filled all her woven hair And all the hollow bosom of her gown-- Ah! that my tears ran down Even to the place where many kisses were, Even where her parted breast-flowers have place, Even where they are cloven apart--who knows not this? Ah! the flowers cleave apart And their sweet fills the tender interspace; Ah! the leaves grown thereof were things to kiss Ere their fine gold was tarnished at the heart. Ah! in the days when God did good to me, Each part about her was a righteous thing; Her mouth an almsgiving, The glory of her garments charity, The beauty of her bosom a good deed, In the good days when God kept sight of us; Love lay upon her eyes, And on that hair whereof the world takes heed; And all her body was more virtuous Than souls of women fashioned otherwise. Now, ballad, gather poppies in thine hands And sheaves of brier and many rusted sheaves Rain-rotten in rank lands, Waste marigold and late unhappy leaves And grass that fades ere any of it be mown; And when thy bosom is filled full thereof Seek out Death's face ere the light altereth, And say "My master that was thrall to Love Is become thrall to Death." Bow down before him, ballad, sigh and groan. But make no sojourn in thy outgoing; For haply it may be That when thy feet return at evening Death shall come in with thee.

I've upgraded my Microsoft Surface Pro to Windows 8.1 two days ago. Now on my home monitor (native max and effective res is 1920x1200) all the desktop windows, except for browser rendered screens, appear as blurred.
It is as if the compilte-time provided raster window elements are not big enough and have to be scaled by the system. This looks absolutely annoying. Please take a look at the screen shot. I hope given the compression you will still be able to get the sense of what I am taking about:
At the same time the taskbar icons don't appear as blurred. Please assist how I can work around this cool new feature and have my windows displayed sharp again.

Hello. I am using the Blaskan theme with a custom child theme. I've been pretty happy with the ease of setup for this particular theme and I like the look and feel. One of the points of interest involving Blaskan was that it was touted as being very mobile friendly. After getting everything going and customized I noticed that my site displays very inconsistently on mobile devices. The sidebar shows up below the main content on most pages (not all of them, however). Does anyone have any suggestions on correcting this display inconsistency?

I was looking to bond two or three NICs together to increase throughput. Now, this should be straight forward if done computer to computer, but since there are 3 computers involved which require higher bandwidth, I was going to put them into a a HP Procurve 1400-24G switch.
Since I'm not sure how switches work, I wasn't sure whether being a gigabit switch it should be capable of switching 3gbit of data between 2 computers or whether there would be some feature that would limit the effective transfer between 2 computers to only 1gbit regardless of the bonding.
Can somebody please confirm? Thanks.

Ford's Quarterly Profit Misses Estimates on Overseas Woes
Ford Motor Co. posted fourth-quarter profit that fell short of analysts' estimates as overseas operations dragged down results while a one-time tax gain resulted in the company's biggest annual profit since 1998.
Ford reported its 11th consecutive profitable quarter, with net income of $13.6 billion, or $3.40 a share, compared with $190 million, or 5 cents, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, the profit was 20 cents a share, trailing the 25-cent average estimate of 15 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
It was the third straight annual profit for Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally, 66, who has improved quality and expanded the lineup with fuel-efficient models like the Fiesta subcompact. Net income was boosted by a non-cash gain of $12.4 billion from eliminating a valuation allowance against deferred tax benefits, Ford said.
"It was another good solid year, but the gains weren't quite as dramatic as in previous years," said Efraim Levy, an analyst for S&P Capital IQ, who has a "buy" rating on Ford. "It will get tougher going forward."
Ford slid 4.5 percent to $12.21 at the close in New York. The shares are up 13 percent this year after falling 36 percent in 2011.
Ford removed the valuation allowance, created in 2006 as it began reporting operating losses, because it expects to be profitable in the future and to use the tax benefits, according to a U.S. regulatory filing last year. Ford lost $30.1 billion from 2006 to 2008, as truck and sport-utility vehicle sales collapsed and the economy fell into the worst recession since the Great Depression.
'Level of Confidence'
"They're telling the world that they've attained a level of confidence in their ability to generate substantial amounts of income for the foreseeable future," said Robert Willens, a corporate tax specialist and president of Robert Willens LLC of New York. "It's quite a positive, forceful statement on their ability to prosper going forward."
Profit excluding some items for 2011 was $8.8 billion, or $1.51 a share, up $463 million from the previous year.
In the fourth quarter, the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker was hamstrung by a weakening European market and flooding in Thailand that wiped out profits in its Asian operations, Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth said today.
The fourth-quarter earnings miss was caused by "the external environment, the slightly greater impact than we anticipated of commodity costs, currency and the Thai floods," Booth told reporters in Dearborn.
Commodities, Europe
Ford spent $2.3 billion on commodities such as steel in 2011, more than the $2.2 billion it told analysts in October it would spend, Booth said.
The European market is deteriorating and Ford is not sure when it will turn around, Booth said. Ford declined to provide a forecast on whether it can make money in Europe this year.
"We think this has the potential to be another tough year economically in Europe," Booth said on the "The Hays Advantage" on Bloomberg Radio. "We're not making any predictions about Europe this year."
There is too much automotive factory capacity in the region, which is causing carmakers to boost incentives, Booth said. Ford increased incentives in the fourth quarter, while still improving net prices, he said.
Ford said its pretax operating loss in Europe widened to $190 million from a loss of $51 million a year earlier. In Asia-Pacific and Africa, Ford reported a pretax operating loss of $83 million, down from a $23 million profit last year. For the full year, Ford lost $92 million in Asia-Pacific and Africa and it lost $27 million in Europe.
European Unit's Prospects
"We're obviously a little disappointed to be at just slightly worse than break-even for Europe," Booth said in an interview. "We think of Europe as a solid business operating in a very difficult business environment. That business environment will turn at some stage."
Ford's outlook for Europe seems "a big optimistic," said Matthew Stover, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities LLC in Boston. "We think that you're going to have to see production reduced" and a loss for the year of $1.5 billion in Europe, he said.
Sales Target
Ford is on pace to meet its mid-decade goal of increasing global sales by 50 percent, Booth said. The automaker lost 34,000 vehicles of production to the Thai floods, which was more than it was expecting, he said.
"We expect overall to see Asia-Pacific to be steadily profitable, but we expect to see some spiking in the quarters because it is a volatile region," the finance chief said. "We expect Asia-Pacific to be modestly profitable this year."
Ford is building seven factories in the Asia-Pacific region and introducing new models in China and India, such as the EcoSport small SUV it introduced in New Delhi this month. This year in China, Ford will begin selling the Kuga SUV, which is based on the Escape SUV sold in the U.S.
"In the forward years, you can expect to see the pace in Asia-Pacific and Africa being relatively modest for the early part," Booth said. "Then accelerating for the later part of the period as the plants come onstream and the new products come on stream."
Ford said its fourth-quarter automotive operating margin fell to 2.2 percent from 3 percent a year earlier.
In North America, where Ford generates most of its sales and profits, the second-largest U.S. automaker reported pretax operating income of $889 million, up from $670 million last year. Ford's U.S. sales rose 11 percent last year and it gained market share for the third consecutive year for the first time since 1970.
'North American Company'
"Ford is still a North American company," said Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays Capital. "In 2012, we're looking for the U.S. sales rate to recover, their market share to remain solid and their pricing to remain solid with products like the Escape and the Fusion refreshed" with new styling.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 6.5 percent to $34.6 billion as Ford boosted North American production by 14 percent during the period to 674,000 cars and trucks. The average estimate for total fourth-quarter revenue was $33.5 billion, according to the average of four estimates.
Ford reiterated it will produce 675,000 cars and trucks in North America during the first quarter, up 18,000 vehicles from last year. Ford said today it will cut production in South America, Europe and Asia Pacific Africa this quarter.
Production Plans
Globally, Ford said it plans to produce 1.4 million cars and trucks in the first quarter, down 51,000 vehicles from last year.
For the year, Ford's revenue rose 13 percent to $136.3 billion, compared with an average forecast of $134.7 billion from five analysts surveyed.
U.S. consumers paid an average of $32,028 for the company's models last year, up 25 percent from 2002 and the highest price Ford vehicles have ever commanded, according to online auto researcher Edmunds.com.
Automotive debt, which excludes Ford Motor Credit, was $13.1 billion at year's end, an increase from $12.7 billion on Sept. 30, the company said.
The debt rose in the quarter primarily because it tapped loans from the U.S. Department of Energy that boosted its obligations by $300 million, the automaker said. The federal loans are being used to produce fuel-efficient cars.
Pension Plans
Ford has more debt than rivals because it borrowed $23 billion in late 2006, after Mulally arrived from Boeing Co. and before credit markets froze. That enabled the automaker to avoid the bailouts and bankruptcies that befell the predecessors of General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC in 2009.
The company will contribute $3.5 billion this year to its global pension plans, including $2 billion to the U.S. plan.
Ford said it will pay $2,450 to each of its 41,600 U.S. hourly workers for second-half 2011 profits.
"Ford's doing everything right except getting their stock price up," said Gary Bradshaw, a fund manager at Dallas-based Hodges Capital Management, which owns about 250,000 Ford shares. "They've got their costs down, good products, good engineering and good leadership. Ford can do surprisingly well this year."

Skip to comments.Occupiers' war on police
Posted on 11/20/2011 9:18:52 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
With police clearing out many of the "Occupy" encampments, one might think that the Obama-approved protests will be over soon. However, at the national convention of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) last weekend, there was talk of how the protests will eventually expand and "take indoor spaces" such as city halls and state capitols, in order to "unite" with "mass movements against state and local budget cuts and in defense of public sector unions." DSA members across the U.S. have been actively participating in the Occupy movement.
Such a strategy would put police officers, many of them members of public-sector unions, in a difficult situation. In the end, of course, they can be counted on to enforce the law, which has been ignored by "progressive" politicians in such cities as New York, Washington, D.C., and Oakland, Calif.
The politicians, including Obama, have been hoping the demonstrations would help their political campaigns by emphasizing the issue of "social inequality" and the need for bigger government and higher levels of taxation. The police, however, have understood from the start that the lawlessness must be stopped. What they may not understand is that they are being targeted in the process and that more confrontations are yet to come.
Many Occupy sites display open hatred for the police. It is so open that posters of cop-killers Mumia Abu Jamal and Lovelle Mixon are ominously affixed to tents. Mixon, a suspected child rapist, gunned down four Oakland officers as they sat eating breakfast; he is now an anointed hero of the Occupiers....
(Excerpt) Read more at pittsburghlive.com ...
"Sounds like a second civil war is in the cards."
Remember what happened with the black "People's Army" (or whatever it was called) when they protested against the postal service in "I'm Gonna Get You Sucker"? The protest fell apart when the postal service hired them...
Any improvement in the job market will weaken these protests; otherwise the movement weakens Obama's chances of re-election.
The article is a bit off on one subject. Lovelle Mixon did kill four Oakland officers, but not as they sat down to breakfast.
That "honor" was given to one Maurice Clemons, a Huckabee clemency recipient.
You bet.
Thank you for posting this. Placemark for tomorrow. If you decide to start an "Occupukes" ping list, put my name on it!
And hardly anybody pays attention during the "escalation" stage, when the ultimate trouble can be foreseen. Then when somebody gets shot, it bursts upon the MSM and Joe Sheeple is duly shocked, shocked! as though the news had come from Mars.
I say drop a cleaning agent on them. That with clear them out. They're all allergic to soap.
Sure does. Regular citizens are going to get sick of this pretty soon. When they do, look out lefties.
That'll do it.
These idiots are ALSO moving inside because the weather's too cold to occupy the great outdoors.
Bunch of wusses.
THe DSA strategy of taking "inside spaces" has already hit New York and London, as possibly a few attempts at banks in California.
There is a definite need to treat these people as criminal trespassers and have them arrested and prosecuted. A criminal record can have a dampening affect on their career possibilties, something these "college students" didn't seem to consider. Wasted money in my opinion.
I like your thinking. :)
I also think they have chosen a bad time of year to do this; people are prepping for the Holidays and will not want to put up with this crap...and one look at the OWS crowd and Joe Q knows he's not a member nor would he want to be.
This is a movement to disrupt the 2012 election cycle, because the Kenyan knows he's toast. They will move inside due to cold weather, not to reinforce the movement. Next year, they'll move inside the polling places to inhibit the voting process.
Note to scumbags: I WILL VOTE!
I was at Zuccotti Park observing for about 15 days while it was Occupied. I observed several of their general assemblies, and in each one, they discussed interaction with the police. Early on (end of first week maybe), they decided to have NO contact with the numerous police surrounding the park (and who were actually protecting the occupiers). They discussed "direct action" against the police and constantly complained of police abuse. They refused to take responsibility for their actions which was the only reason NYPD ever took any action against them. Based on what I witnessed, I firmly believe that this movement will lead to widespread violence.
"Behind the Violence, Says Jane Alpert, Was Sex"
--November 09, 1981--
"The leaders of the Weather Underground, she believes, followed a similar pattern of constantly shifting sexual alliances..."
"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."
Campus Wars: The Peace Movement At American State Universities in the Vietnam Era
Don't need no weatherman to see which way the Occupied wind blows.
The Occupukes don't want jobs. Accuracy in Media set up a table with job applications next to Zucotti Park (or was it another Occupuke place?) to see how many were interested in jobs. Barely anyone was interested. They don't want jobs, they want freebies and revolution.
I'm not nearly as sanquine as the author.
Where was the protester with the cop killer sign photographed? The only one online I can find is at Oakland and if this is a real and I can get a reference I want it to show some friends who think the cops are being too mean and heavy handed. THANKS!
Survey says...
The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.
It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.
It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.
It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor.
It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.
Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America .

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Every day this month, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. This month I will be doing theme weeks, with each week devoted to a single artist. This week: John Romita Jr.! Today's page is from Dazzler #1, which was published by Marvel and is cover dated March 1981. Enjoy!
Romita moved on from Iron Man and helped launch the most awesomest comic book series in the history of comic bookery, Dazzler. You know it's true!!!! He still hadn't developed the "Romita Jr. style," and Alfredo Alcala wasn't doing him any favors in the inking department, either (although the first page of issue #2, which is more boring so I didn't show it, does show a lot of improvement from Alcala, as his details helped make Dazzler's clothing look more "real" and less like a superhero costume – Alcala tends to be a good inker, so his bland inks on this page is odd, to say the least).
DeFalco throws us right in, as he explains that a limousine suddenly stopped, a bunch of thugs jumped out, and started pursuing our heroine. Dazzler, we learn, had just left the disco, which presumably explains her outfit. We also find out that she's cornered, but in superhero speak, all that means is that she'll get a chance to show off her powers, which she does (page 2 regrettably is the first instance of Dazzler's forgettable catch-phrase, "go for it!").
Romita isn't really called upon to do too much – unlike yesterday's entry, he doesn't need to balance a lot of interesting characters in the scene – there's Dazzler and a bunch of thugs. What we do get is Alison Blaire in all her glory, full of motion in a static environment – her hair is flowing to her left, her giant necklace swinging to her right, and legs bent in a runner's pose. She gazes deep into the readers' eyes, drawing us in, and she's just slightly off-center, which lends the scene some verisimilitude. Romita, presumably, designed her outfit, and while it's very dated, it does look like actual clothing, which is always a problem in superhero comics (Romita has never had this problem, which is nice). Romita is still finding his way, but you'll notice that Dazzler's face is beginning to look like a "Romita" face – pronounced cheekbones (which get more pronounced over the years), a bit wider than we see from other artists, and the hint of a more pointed chin, which is also a Romita trademark. He isn't quite the Romita we recognize instantly, but he's getting there.
Next: I think I've found the first time we can say "That's John Romita Jr." You may agree or disagree, but wait until you see the evidence! If you don't like Romita, you can always look at the archives!
This page makes me miss the days when books had two editors in the credits box. If memory serves, the last Marvel book I read had an associate editor, an assistant editor, an editor, group editor, editor in chief, publisher and chief creative officer after the letterer
I had no idea Dazzler was a Romita Jr/Alcala joint. Now it must be mine.
Bill: Romita only drew it for the first three issues. I'm not sure how long Alcala inked it. It should still be yours, though, because it's DAZZLER!!!!!
Man, I found this issue in great shape at a Half Price Books a couple years back. Hopefully either Tom Defalco or JRJ will be a guest at a future Emerald City ComicCon or Jet City Comic Show–I'd love to have them autograph it.
[…] Frantic as a cardiograph scratching out the lines, Day 47: Dazzler #1Comic Book Resourcesby Greg Burgas Every day this month, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. This month I will be doing theme weeks, with each week devoted to a single artist. This week: John Romita Jr.! Today's page is from Dazzler #1, … […]
From what I recall Dazzler was going to be played by Bo Derek. JRJR/Alcala produced a very Bo-like Daz in this splash.
I think JRJR started his signature look during his X-Men days with Dan Green, for what it's worth.
Re: Dazzler's face. You see, that's funny. The style to me is very much the "Marvel post-Kirby late 60s/70s/early 80s model" that JRJR's dad helped to solidify. Clean lines, easy on the eye. It could be a young woman straight out of Romita snr's Spidey run.
It doesn't smack of later, more idiosyncratic JRJR.
Pete: I agree. But I still think that the wide cheekbones and the hint of a more pointed chin are Romita moving away from the traditionalists.
Fine excuse to recount my favourite comic store story: I found Dazzler #1 in a back issue bin in the store, Strange Adventures, in Halifax. It was in a mylar bag, with a $20 price tag.
I said to the man behind the counter: "I have to ask, why is this priced at $20?" And he basically said, "Congratulations, you just won it." And that's how I got my free copy of Dazzler #1, still pristine in its mylar bag.
Gotta love a store with a sense of humour.
(by the way, I mentioned last time I wasn't a fan of JRjr's art, but I quite like that splash!)
Was it really a gag?

Chloe Bennet
Redirected from Chloe Bennett
4,671pages on

this wiki
Chloe Bennet portrayed Skye in the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. She also portrayed Agent 33 impersonating Skye in the episode "Love in the Time of HYDRA".
Significant roles
- Tess in Intercept (2012)
- Hailey in Nashville (2012-2013)
- "If anyone sees a trailer for Captain America, you'll notice that SHIELD is a huge part of what is happening in the movie, just by all the talk of SHIELD and all the SHIELD logos everywhere, so definitely there's a crossover of things happening. I can't tell you how much, but I can tell you that it is insane."
- "It will heavily affect our characters, I think. Everyone, definitely go see Captain America 2 and then you're going to definitely want to watch our show before and after."
- "The person is awesome, but I cannot tell you who it is. The person walked into the trailer and I [screamed] and I started freaking out and I jumped on the person, and I didn't know them and then I was like, 'I saw you driving once,' and then that person got a little weirded out. Our fans particularly will like a certain guest star that is coming up soon."
- "I was in hair and makeup the day we shot it, basically. [Laughs] No, they told me probably about two days before, but I found out and kept it a secret, which is really impressive for me, like two weeks beforehand. I thought I was She-Hulk for a while, so I've been working out a lot. No, they told me pretty last minute."
- "I don't think I should tell you, which though because I think they're the comics they're going to pull from. But yes I did do my research and went and obsessed over Daisy Johnson for a while after."
- " It's a lot of [motions with her hands], you know? People think it's really awesome. And it's really awesome post-production once you have powers but while you're shooting it, nothing feels more dumb than pretending that you're awesome with powers and not having any powers at all. You're just in a room with a bunch of dudes with cameras and you're just pretending to have earthquake powers and that's just a little weird. But it's really, really awesome. I haven't seen anything yet but I'm sure it's awesome once everything's done. You have to have a lot of trust in the rest of production at that point."
- "It's nice for someone as lazy as me. I really love stunts, and I think there's still an element of stunts that are going to happen for me incorporated with earthquake powers. It will be fun to explore the diversity of what that even means coming up."
- " Yeah! I am! I really want that really bad, like a jumpsuit. I mean, it's annoying to have to pee in, but it's really fun to just have. We'll see her dealing with the loss of Trip. I think she feels extremely guilty over that considering he went down there to save her and then he died. It's a lot of her figuring out that, "Oh, when I got upset down there, an earthquake happened, and I keep getting upset and that may be happening again." It's her exploring whether or not it is her that is creating these things, and then her dealing with what she has to tell the team, because people who have powers, from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s perspective, are put on the Index. That's not really a place she wants to be, I don't think. It's dealing with admitting to her family. It's kind of like she's coming out almost as a superhero to her S.H.I.E.L.D. family and moving forward from there."
- "Some people react in a good way and some people react in a bad way. I can't give you any specifics but it definitely, what's the expression? Throwing a wrench into things? Is that it? Yeah, that's kind of what happens. Let's just say that he was definitely right about how once you change, things aren't going to be the same and people aren't going to treat you the same way. There's definitely a level of discrimination against Inhumans. I wouldn't say that she turns to him but I would definitely say that their relationship changes a little bit."
- "The comic book version of Daisy Johnson has very short, Miley Cyrus-esque hair. We wanted to stay true to the comic book character fans love; I wanted to please them but also make sure there was still some movement and length and sexiness in the hair."
- "It does. It definitely does. I didn't think it would but when I put on that outfit, when you put on a onesy, and then you wear gunbelts, and gauntlets, it definitely changes things. It changes the way I walk. I feel a little bit more like a bad ass. But what I'm trying to do this season is you know, she is a bad ass but, Simmons is a bad ass. I wanna redefine what badass means, because everyone's always like 'OMG your so much more bad ass now', and it's like, I don't think just kicking ass means badass, I feel like a lot of the people I know that are real badasses are women, and their sensitive, their emotional, and that's badass to me. Being able to communicate, and to have gone through things, and you still have been able to stand tall, and be themselves, and that's what I think is badass. So, I'm trying to keep that going as well as getting to do awesome action stuff."
- "I don't know. People who make movies for Marvel, why don't you acknowledge what happens on our show? Why don't you guys go ask them that? Cause they don't seem to care! The Marvel Cinematic Universe loves to pretend that everything is connected, but then they don't acknowledge our show at all. So, I would love to do that, but they don't seem to keen on that idea."
- "The two people who knew she [was ready to succumb to Hive] are both dead, so no one else knows. There must be a moment coming up in the next season where she reveals that. I think she feels like she can't get close to people because wherever she goes, death follows. That hit home with her, especially this time."

I'd put off reading Altered Carbon for a few years, always reading something newer. Shame on me. This Philip K. Dick Award-winner is a brilliantly dark and gritty mixture of hardboiled detective fiction and cyberpunk that anyone looking for a story with a razor-sharp edge will love.
"...it makes me uncomfortable to know that my story Tuck Everlasting is required reading in some classrooms. My sympathies are entirely with the children, for many will react to Tuck as I well might have--with a shudder. Many will find its language too 'fancy,' its pace too slow, its topic unsettling, the behavior of its hero incomprehensible."--Natalie Babbitt in "Saying What You Think." The Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress*
It is perhaps surprising that an author would almost prefer her books were not required reading. But it is less surprising in Natalie Babbitt's case. Her best-beloved books are sweet and strong and true in spirit while containing enough wonder and marvel to lend a sparkle to a reader's otherwise mundane childhood. This children's author, like many of the best, remembers what it is like to be a child. What she liked to read--and what she didn't. She understands that children have strong opinions on their favorite books, even if they may not be comfortable in expressing them. She certainly remembers what she liked:
"Most kids grow up leaving something out for Santa at Christmas time when he comes down the chimney. I used to make presents for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
When I picked up a copy of Jeanette Winterson's recent memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal, I couldn't wait to start the first page. I've been fascinated by Winterson's novels for years, but never imagined she would narrate her life in the coherent, linear style associated with memoirs. In Winterson's fiction, she constantly manipulates the boundary between fantasy and reality, integrating personal experience, mythology, and philosophy into a fluid conglomeration. Although Why Be Happy does feature some of Winterson's trademark structural experimentation, it is also an engrossing story about one woman's experience of dysfunction, madness, violence, love, and religion.

Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner: Popular television personality Valerie Adler turns to her long-forgotten, Illinois hometown friend Addie Downs when she runs into a bit of trouble involving betrayal and loyalty, family history and small-town secrets.
Her books feature heroines who are smart and funny, but very believable. Some other titles that feature great contemporary women are:
As Husbands Go by Susan Isaacs
Astonished when her seemingly devoted husband is found murdered in a prostitute's apartment, Susie, a mother of four-year-old triplets, bristles at her neighbors' mixed reactions and tackles everyone from her husband's partners to the DA to restore her family's honor. (from summary)
Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Book editor Leigh, chef Emmy and wealthy Adriana make a pact to change their disappointing lives within a year. Emmy vows to find the father of her future babies, and Latin temptress Adriana decides to settle on just one of her rich suitors. (from summary)
In A Life Like Mine: How Children Live Around the World, we are introduced to 18 children from different continents, such as Mahasin and her family, nomadic cattle herders in Sudan. Mahasin is nine years old and attends a traveling school for children. When she's not learning lessons, she likes to weave baskets and help her mother and sisters cook their staple meal, asida, a dish of vegetables and grains mixed with spices. We also meet Isa, age 10, who lives in Sierra Leone and was taken by fighters in the country's civil war for two years. Now he is back with his family, attending school, planting a few crops, and playing checkers with his friends. The stories and photographs of these children's lives are fascinating and will appeal to any child who wonders how the world's children are alike and different.
You can find them on a map. Barely. Little towns that used to be rather important hubs dot the Virginia countryside, dating from the days when agriculture ruled along with the horse and buggy or mule and wagon. These central spots, often near rail stations, rivers, or better roads, were communities in their own right and many have faded away as the interstate system grew. The Lost Communities of Virginia, by Terri Fisher and Kirsten Sparenborg, takes a look at these fading places, several of them near our area, including Mineral, Woodford, and Milford.
Fans of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café can relate to little Milford, situated in Caroline County and still located on a railroad line. Originally the popular area here was Doguetown, named for the Dogue Indians who used the Mattaponi River for transportation. Milford, named for a nearby plantation in 1792, also used the river as a point for shipping—and inspecting—tobacco. The Mattaponi River was connected to both the York River and the Chesapeake Bay. By the early 1840s, the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad ran from Richmond to Aquia Creek with a stop in Milford. Milford's North-South railroad connections made it a target in the Civil War.
For those who have followed Charlotte and Thomas Pitt from their awkward yet charming days of courtship in The Cater Street Hangman, Anne Perry's recent Dorchester Terrace is a very enjoyable continuation of the series. Thomas has risen far since his days as a regular London policeman. He's now head of Special Branch, a reward for his brilliant detective work and, probably not incidentally, saving Queen Victoria from a dastardly plot.
But, in class-conscious, 19th-century Britain, family background matters a lot to some people. Thomas, a gamekeeper's son, often encounters people who question his ability to do his job when they find out who he isn't. One of those is his immediate predecessor as head of Special Branch, Victor Narraway. In the preceding novel, Victor lost his job to Thomas almost but not quite disgracefully and rather lost his heart to Thomas' clever and kind wife, Charlotte. Charlotte, born to live in Narraway's world of privilege, has assisted her husband's investigations through the years, but now that he is privy to so many state secrets, that will surely change—won't it?
A group of teens and school librarians are devoting part of their summer to reading young adult books and discussing them at regular meetings. Why? They're passionate about the library's Cafe Book program--book discussion for seventh and eighth graders in area schools. These summer meetings result in a carefully balanced list of 20 titles for next year's participants to read, then choose their favorites. Each school just finished with last year's titles, and selected their 2012 Teen Picks creating the ultimate suggested reading list for your middle school student.

I want to link to a category in my navigation (a.k.a pages).
How can this be done?
I want to link to a category in my navigation (a.k.a pages).
How can this be done?
If you are writing a Page, and want to manually link to a specific category, simply insert the appropriate HTML in the body of your page:
foo
If you want links to your categories to be automatically created as part of your templates, look into the
wp_list_cats() template tag.
You have to be a bit more specific. Categories are listed in your sidebar (navigation) by using the template tag list_cats or the related wp_list_cats.
What about Pages?
Ok, I'll try to explain a little bit better:
http://niclas.pigne.net/blog <- I want to link to the category "Tutorials" under "Navigation". Am I clear enough? :)
If it's possible, I would like to hide Tutorials from the archives to. any tips on doing that?
Maybe I am wrong but my impression is under the Navigation you display your Pages (probably using the wp_list_pages tag + a manual link to homepage). And now you want to insert in this list a link to one of the categories. It would be the same way = manully, as you did with your homepage link.
In the categories list you can choose to exclude one or more categories:
thanks! that solved the problem. I wonder why I never thought of including the link the same way I'm including the home link.
Anyway, thanks!
Your list of links under "Navigation" is, I'm assuming, comprised solely of WordPress Pages, and is generated using the
wp_list_pages() template tag.
If you want to include a link to a category there, you have several choices:
1) remove the
wp_list_pages() template tag, and hard-code a list of navigation items to which you would like to link.
2) create a new page, "Tutorials", using a Page Template that presents posts from your Tutorials category as you want.
I've got a new problem.
I tried creating a new page, like Skippy told me. And I've used the get_posts tags to include the posts from the Tutorial category into the Tutorials page.
This is the code I've used
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=3');
foreach($posts as $post) :
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
But when I try to run it, wordpress gives me an error saying: "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /***/***/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/ennbee2/tutorials.php on line 16"
What am I doing wrong?
got it all worked out now. Thanks for the help!

I'm presently syncing my Google calendars to the Windows 8 Calendar app, and despite the little things that still need to be worked on within the app, it works fine. I used the tip where you use an iPhone user agent to allow multiple calendars on Google's mobile website, and it works well. Syncs fast and all.
However, there is one issue. In Google (and also on Windows 8), my best friend and I share our calendars, so we can always know what the other is doing and whether she's available, etc. I just added hers to Windows recently.
So here. Now, her upcoming events also show up on the live tile, which I find is a pity, because as much as I like to be able to see what she's doing and when when I look at the calendar, I don't need to be reminded of when she works and such.
The live tile was great: I put it on large size, and it showed me upcoming events. So when I opened up the Start screen for whatever reason, I could see what I might have forgotten that's coming soon. But now, that's "polluted" with events of hers.
Is there a way to tell Calendar which calendars I want to display on the live tile, and which I don't?
Also, I'm wondering, is there a way to set a custom colour to a calendar? I always categorise mine between many categories, so I can easily see what is what. But there's a very low amount of colours available from the menu, and many are very similar (orange, mango, red, purple, raspberry... ._.).
On my phone, I put her calendar in grey, so when I'm looking at the calendar, I can know it's (probably) not important for me right now, while all of my events (class, work to hand in, work...) is in colour.

I'm running urxvt with the current env:
$ env | grep LC LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
The problem is either with ncurses or ncmpc and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the problem might be. This could also be an issue with the ID3 tags and any advice on working with broken or misconfigured encoding settings in meta tags in mp3 files is also welcome. I have been ignoring this matter for years and it has finally gotten to me. The bizarre thing is that some filenames or tags work, while others do not.
What I have tried the following:
setting LC_ALL to these values (whatever is before the space)
- ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R
- ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8
- ru_RU ISO-8859-5
- ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R
rebuilding the MPD database with
- id3v1_encoding "ISO-8859-1"
- id3v1_encoding "UTF-8"
- id3v1_encoding "ISO-8859-1"
I can demonstrate the problem with two screen shots, as it's the easiest way to do so:
Expected output (mpc works well):
Broken encoding (ncmpc):
Ncmpcpp: same problem

As suggested, a new thread:
I've been using wordpress for...well quite sometime now. I'm currently using wordpress 1.2.1
My problem, which just sprung out of nowhere is that when someone posts a comment I no longer get notification emailed to me.
I've tried changing email addresses thinking that perhaps it was my mail server, so I've tried my other pop3 accounts and various webmail (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) but to no avail.
Curious to know if anyone has or has had this problem and if they know how to correct it.

Kanelis: Once more, Klan removes doubt
By JOHN KANELIS
Editorial Page Editor
Texans very well may benefit next weekend when the Ku Klux Klan shows itself in a Piney Woods community, at the other end of this vast state.
The Klan's plan is to demonstrate peacefully, to show that it isn't the hate group of old. These guys comprise the "new" Klan.
Pardon the skepticism, but it's a mighty stretch to believe that a hate group ever can change its sheets.
The KKK and other white supremacists are marching in the wake of the terrible tragedy that befell the town of Jasper, a community of 8,000 nestled in the East Texas woods just north of Beaumont and just west of the Louisiana state line.
James Byrd, Jr. was dragged to his death through the woods on June 7 while tied by his ankles to the back of a pickup truck. The alleged perpetrators are three white men with purported ties to white supremacist groups.
Hate in its purest, rawest form allegedly drove these men to commit this heinous act. The Jasper County district attorney's office hopes to try these men for a capital offense, to seek the death penalty.
The Klan - a group known for lynching, burning and otherwise terrorizing black people for a good bit of the past century - has disavowed this killing. It's interesting to note that the Klan hasn't condemned the act or expressed regret for its own organization's participation in past brutality against African-Americans.
Now the Ku Klux Klan wants to demonstrate in the courthouse square in Jasper, a community with a roughly 45 percent black population.
They'll make speeches about "white pride" while lacing their "oratory" with an implied - maybe even an overt - denigration of blacks and other racial minorities.
I had the distinct displeasure of attending a Klan rally once, not far from where the Klansmen will gather next weekend. It was an education unlike any I've ever had before. My wife, our younger son and I went to get a taste - bitter though it was - of this lunatic fringe of American culture.
It took place in September 1992 in Orange, Texas, just east on Interstate 10 from Vidor, a community in Orange County with a notorious reputation as a Klan haven. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development decided it would integrate the all-white public housing development in Vidor. It moved in several black residents. The Klan decided to protest the government's decision to integrate the development with a rally in front of the Orange County Courthouse.
I am compelled to recall this rally because of what my friends and former neighbors in East Texas likely are going to hear in a few days.
They probably will hear some white people proclaim that they speak for a "superior race" of human beings.
My most effective response is to recount an exchange I heard on the courthouse lawn that sultry late-summer day in Orange.
A television reporter approached a young woman, whose two young children stood next to her. "Do you support the Ku Klux Klan here today?" the reporter asked. Yes, the woman said. The reporter asked why.
"Because," she said while pointing to a group of blacks watching the rally, "I don't want my (f-word) kids associating with them people."
How can we benefit by letting the Ku Klux Klan march in Jasper - or anywhere - for that matter?
Simply by letting them speak for themselves. Let them expose their hate for what it is: the rantings of those with small minds and dark hearts.
As Abraham Lincoln once said: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Mr. Poe already has him on his List.
If he ain't gay, then I have to re-calibrate my gaydar...
If he ain't gay, Mr. Poe is going to be very sad.
If he ain't gay, well I don't have anything else...
Doesn't he mean "From whom much is given, much is expected", or is he saying that the rich expect to get richer?
The most ludicrous claim here isn't that he's straight; it's that in the video he says that the nation looks to Florida to lead.
She is as nelly as a clutch purse on Tony night!
Can't we keep this discussion until after he's clinched the nomination? Because wow.
Old White Crazy Guy/Old White Sw-w-w-w-winger Guy, Heeeeeey '08
...as pink ink...however ---
Winston Churchill (Church for short)
Age: unknown
Hometown: Ludlow, ME
Died: November 24, 1983?
Incident: After being run over, Church was buried in the Pet Sematary, and was resurrected, but now he smells really bad.
At least he's not as gay as a certain US Senator from South Carolina ...
Somewhere between Leslie Nielsen and Dave Reichert.
And yeah, the gaydar-o-meter needle is pegged.
A friend of mine in Florida said the guy is gay. Has a lot to do with sleeping with one of the local "rent boys" in Ft Lauderdale.
You know, if the Stranger can pony up the money to send Charles to Italy for a story, they could certainly cough up the $300 - $400 to send Mr. Poe to Talahassee as "special correspondent."
I'm sure he could get to the bottom of this very timely issue.
Well, at least he's not a Deke like the current idiot-in-chief. Note the one-year marriage. Check Item #7 further down in the "other articles" where a woman at a press conference flat out asks him about his orientation.
"I'm sure he could get to the bottom of this very timely issue."
Heh heh - "bottom" = heh heh.
Katie, bar the doors! Mr. Poe is in hot pursuit!
@16, nevermind. Put on your bifocals next time and read more than just the signature. Or maybe Mr. Poe's shopping cart is becoming cliché.
He's Gay. We're just not supposed to know it, shhhhh.
Clearly he's going for gay republican voters.
Shhhh!! Let McCain make the announcement first. Let him spend a few weeks talking up his running mate to conservative voters everywhere and THEN throw a Mr. Poe (and video camera) into the beautiful embrace of Crist's wide stance.
where's the taunting from mccain/crist08?
let's hear how that ticket will beat obama/richardson like a drum!
"You feel it?" (flirty look to the lacrosse-playing Young Republican in the front row)
So what if he's gay? (I'd guess he is.) McCain is guaranteed to win the general with Crist on the ticket. The youth, who don't like Hillary, will gladly flock to Crist.
Beware of tanned politicians from Florida... they may do something seedy Mark Foley style...
I'm pretty sure he's the clone of Bob Barker.
OMG I would totally let him fuck my shit to dripping fudge.
Why are so many people talking about me? Apparently I announce myself like a rock concert in Boise, ID.
Shhh! We're trying to get the Stranger to pick up the tab for your Come to Crist tour.
Straight men don't do that schmaltzy Vegas lounge lizard thing this well, nor do they have such...aerobic eyebrows.
I fact, he kind of resembles Stuart Smalley with better diction.
Chill. I'm going stealth..
'k Mr. Stealth. Just be prepared for a big, Coppertoned power bottom when you get there.
Gay? I don't know about gay. But with a name like Crist he's gotta be Jewish.
"you ever seen a grown man naked?"
He actually didn't set my gaydar off at all. Dan, sometimes I think you're obsessed with closeted gay republicans.
Charlie Crist won't get the VP nod. The Republicans here hate him, so he won't even secure Florida for them in the general election.
The local paper actually just ran an article on the many women of Gov. Charlie -
@34, she's a fag hag.
@ Napoleon --
Thanks for the cornflakes through my nose...
Miss Crist shall not be the Republican nominee. All this speculation is just to keep discussion of the republicans in the news. I would expect someone that would add something to the ticket, attracting the far right of the party, offsetting some democratic advatages and suitable to lead when the old man dies.
I predict Condoleeza Rice will be the VP nominee.

on November 10, 2010 - 12:01 AM
It's one of the simplest decisions Western New York food shoppers make at the store: To buy broccoli.
Despite high-profile broccoli haters like former President George H.W. Bush, broccoli is one of the most popular vegetables in America. Its healthy reputation powered demand for more than $750 million worth of the vitamin-packed vegetable in the United States last year.
It could be healthier for the environment, though. Ninety percent of the fresh broccoli the eastern U.S. devours is trucked from California and Mexico. Less than 1 percent of the broccoli New Yorkers eat is grown here, so a lot of diesel fuel gets burned to keep produce sections stocked.
Can science make New York's broccoli habit healthier for the planet? Armed with a new hybrid broccoli plant and a $3.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a "dream team" of researchers and plant breeders coordinated by Cornell University hopes to plant the seeds for a greener broccoli industry on the East Coast.
"It's $7,000 to take a truck here from the West Coast, and when you load it up it's half broccoli, half ice," said Cornell University's Thomas Bjorkman. "A truck from here needs less ice and obviously doesn't have to go as far."
Establish an East Coast broccoli industry that can supply the vegetable 12 months a year, and cutting down on carbon emissions is just the first reward, said Bjorkman, an associate professor of horticulture coordinating the project. "We're also hoping it will be more tender and flavorful from having traveled less, and perhaps more nutritious."
The project's goals include working with seed companies to make the new broccoli strains available to farmers, convincing farmers to grow the vegetable, and making sure that wholesale vegetable distributors and retail sources are ready and willing to take it, Bjorkman said.
"In five years, we are expecting to have demonstrated that East Coast growers can deliver a quality product year-round," Bjorkman said.
The project's success will depend on farmers like Mark Henry. A fourth-generation Eden Valley farmer, Henry runs W.D. Henry and Sons, a 200-acre farm that produces fresh vegetables and bedding plants for landscaping.
This year, Henry grew and harvested about 40 acres of broccoli, along with sweet corn, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers and more. When deciding how much to plant for next year, he's going to take the recent increased demand for local vegetables into account.
"In recent years, it's turned around," Henry said. "People want homegrown. The chain stores want to give people what they want. It's a very exciting thing to have demand for local broccoli."
The new broccoli breeds backed by Cornell could help take some of the danger out of growing broccoli in New York State, he said. They're supposed to resist hot weather better, for one thing.
"When it gets to 80 or 85 degrees, cruciferous crops like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage don't like it," Henry said. "They start behaving badly. They go to seed. They don't produce a quality, edible head."
Farmers' market and farm-stand customers may be more forgiving, but supermarket buyers "want a nice, tight, beaded head," he said. One hot spell can ruin a field for wholesale customers. "When it gets too old or too hot, the beads open up, and as they mature they turn yellow and start to turn into flowers."
Broccoli's sensitivity to heat has historically limited the places where it can be grown on a wholesale commercial scale. It was the cool mornings enjoyed by the fields of California coastal valleys that first put broccoli into the national diet in the 1920s. Italian farmers started growing the vegetable there, shipping broccoli packed in ice eastward in rail cars, in the process giving birth to the modern American vegetable industry.
It will help to find heat-resistant strains, but if you're trying to build an East Coast broccoli industry, better seed is just the beginning, said Maureen Torrey.
Torrey runs Torrey Farms in Elba, north of Batavia in Genesee County. She also heads the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fruit and Vegetable Advisory Committee. At more than 10,000 acres, Torrey Farms is one of the top five fresh vegetable farms in the Northeast. How much broccoli do they grow? None.
"It's a cool weather crop," explained Torrey. "The high heat we had this summer, even cabbage didn't grow." On the West Coast, broccoli producers beat the heat and supply broccoli year-round by moving their operations up and down the coast with the seasons, she said.
The new broccoli strains might help here, but it'll still be a challenge, she said. "It has to be able to withstand all swings of the weather, from heat to dryness to too much moisture. It's also going to have to produce. With the high input costs today, you have to get a return off that field."
For a wholesale broccoli crop, farmers have to "invest in a packing line and a cooler," she noted. "It's not something you can just plant, go out and pick. It's a significant investment."
But let's say you made that investment, and the weather cooperated. Let's say you lined up buyers for your crop, and another buyer to take the second-grade spears for frozen broccoli.
There's one big issue left, Torrey said: "Who is going to harvest this broccoli? Who is going to pack it? The labor isn't here."
More than many vegetables, broccoli needs workers to tend it, pick and pack it. For 50 acres of broccoli, "you could need 30 or 45 people," Torrey said. While West Coast farmers can draw on a stable migrant labor pool, East Coast farmers have problems hiring enough immigrant labor legally, in a timely fashion.
Canada has a guest worker program that works for its farmers, but the present U.S. visa system isn't working well for all American farmers, Torrey said. Unless a farmer can somehow find enough help locally, that will be the No. 1 issue, she said.
In Eden, Henry said he would consider adding another 20 acres of broccoli if the new strains show promise. But he has to figure out first how he'd get that broccoli picked.
"I'm not trying to throw stones at this -- it's a great idea," Henry said. "We've had real good demand for broccoli the last two years. We doubled our acreage. But it's a very fragile, fine line for oversupply and undersupply when you're talking fresh produce. It doesn't take many acres to create undersupply or oversupply."
When the new broccoli seed becomes available in the next year or two, New York vegetable farmers will have to make their best educated guess about whether it will make money, Henry said. Who ever said farming was boring?
"People ask me what I like to do," Henry said. "I say, 'I don't need to go to the casino -- we're gambling every day around here.' "

Over the past two decades, virginity pledges have proliferated in the US, despite mixed results regarding their effectiveness. Few studies have examined possible mechanisms that may shed light on why pledges work for some individuals but not others. Using a sample of emerging-adults aged 18–24 years old (n = 1,380), we examine the influence of religiosity on pledge signing and adherence, specifically whether the effectiveness of pledges is moderated by religiosity. Findings show that while religious participation is positively associated with signing a pledge, there is a moderating effect of religious commitment. That is, when religious commitment is high, adherence to the pledge is greater. However, for pledge signers with low religious commitment, there are unintended negative consequences with regard to increased participation in risky sexual behaviors, whether compared to other people who signed the pledge who are equally committed to their religion or to individuals who have never taken such a pledge. Implications for research and policy are discussed.

Ben Johnson
OT | (6-6, 329, 5.3) | Wisconsin
By Pro Football WeeklyNotes: Cousin, Al Johnson, was the team's starting center and 15 months older than Ben. Both cousins enrolled in 1998 and redshirted. Ben lettered in '99, started eight games at left tackle and one game at right tackle in 2000 and took all but one offensive snap at left tackle in '01. Did not miss a start last fall and started 29 consecutive games for the Badgers, never missing a start in 50 games. Backup long-snapper. Named second-team All-Big Ten in '01.Positives: Has NFL tackle size and handled long-snapping duties in college at times. Is quick to get into position as a run blocker and sustains his blocks. Has a strong hand punch, initial quickness, a big, bubble butt and thick legs. Has long 35-inch arms. Can play right or left tackle, but is probably best-suited for the right side in the NFL. Strong at the point of attack. Good run blocker. Coaches say he may be better than former Badger and 2000 first-round selection Chris McIntosh. Can long-snap and play on the left side if needed.Negatives: Doesn't have the foot quickness, flexibility or agility to play on the left side in the NFL, nor is pass blocking his strength. Could do a better job of adjusting in space and needs to play with more bend. Will overextend, get top-heavy and lose power. Lunges. Not great on the second level. Struggles vs. speed rushers. Does not always finish his blocks or show a mean streak.Summary: Probably not quick enough to be a left tackle, but he has everything scouts look for in a right tackle and can be a dominating player if he learns to get nasty.* Player biographies are provided by Pro Football Weekly.
