Petersham Nurseries
It's hard not to laugh at Petersham Nurseries. This year's winner of
's Most Original Restaurant Award is so achingly trendy it's in danger of disappearing up its own fundament. For instance, it employs a woman who calls herself a "forager" and whose job, apparently, is to "forage" for locally manufactured, seasonal produce. She can't be doing a very good job because both the salt and the pepper are imported from Bali. Surely you can buy such condiments closer to home? I may be very much mistaken, but I think there's a branch of Sainsbury's in Richmond.
Of course, for those who subscribe to the local/seasonal dogma, supermarkets are the fount of all evil. Petersham Nurseries is a "produce-led" restaurant, which means that it only buys ingredients from small, specialist suppliers. The walnuts, for instance, are provided by a woman who brings them in on the Eurostar from France, while the blood oranges are from a farmer in Sicily. Needless to say, such produce doesn't come cheap. One of the ironies of local/seasonal restaurants like this is that their "small is beautiful" philosophy doesn't apply to their own prices. My starter of cod's roe was £14. The "forager" explained that it came from a smokerie in Orford and, while I'm glad that this small business is being kept alive by the patronage of Petersham Nurseries, it would be nice if such compassion was extended to the restaurant's customers.
Then again, perhaps they can afford to take the hit. Petersham Nurseries is a garden centre as well as a restaurant and if the price of the second-hand furniture is anything to go by the local customers are pretty well-heeled. A rotting park bench, for instance, was on sale for £1,000, while a set of rusty garden chairs were retailing for £450 each. After those figures, who's going to complain about a plate of mezze for £17? It's a steal, particularly when you consider that the dandelion leaves adorning it were grown by no less a personage than Lucy Gray, daughter of the River Café's Rose Gray.
The reputation of Petersham Nurseries owes at least as much to these sorts of connections as it does to the food. The head chef is Skye Gyngell, who, in addition to being the daughter of the late Bruce Gyngell, is the food editor of
. That's not to say she isn't a talent in her own right. My cod's roe was excellent and my main course of meatballs accompanied by wild cherries was pretty good, too. I'm just not convinced any other restaurant this far off the beaten track--you have to wade through an acre of mud to get there--could charge £109.12 for a meal for two that didn't include pudding or a bottle of wine.
On the afternoon I went there my fellow customers were, almost exclusively, yummy mummies. They looked like the pampered wives of investment bankers who were stopping off for a plate of Puy Lentils in between a trip to Planet Organic and a visit to the local spa. "Another long, exhausting day, another thousand dollars," as Stephen Sondheim put it in 'The Ladies Who Lunch'.
The most striking thing about Petersham Nurseries is the setting. After trudging down a muddy path near Richmond Park, you enter a labyrinth of greenhouses, eventually ending up in a particularly large one where the "café" is situated (the owners don't call it a "restaurant"). The floor is covered in earth, but lest you think this is common-or-garden dirt, I should point out that it comes from Norfolk. Once again, I couldn't help feeling the "forager" had let the side down. Did she really have to journey over 100 miles to find some local/seasonal dirt? This is particularly baffling when you consider that Petersham Nurseries is surrounded on all sides by mud.
As a monument to all the most absurd culinary trends of the moment, Petersham Nurseries is second-to-none. But as a restaurant--sorry, café--I suspect the emperor may not be wearing any clothes.

Hi I'm currently helping a friend build a new wordpress site. She purchased the theme "Clean Theme 2.1" from 'Folio Websites'. It looks great and all, but she asked me if I could add a sidebar to the design as being single columned, it's sort of bland right now.
I don't know php all that well, but I've gotten used to manipulating it through a few years of using WP. So far, this is what I've done:
in functions.php, add:
if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )
created sidebar.php with:
<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(dynamic_sidebar() ) : else : ?>
in index.php, add:
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar.php'); ?>
So far, the sidebar now shows up as existing when in the widgets section of the wp-dash. However, there's no trace of it when loading the site itself. I feel like I am missing something very simple but very important. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Because now four teeny-boppers have put together a DEAD-ON re-creation of "Here We Go Again" for their school talent show and judging from the reaction of that crowd they will never be unpopular again.
WOW! It's like the grand finale of REVENGE OF THE NERDS!

Film Highlight: Chop Shop
Parkway Theater, starts Friday
You come away from Chop Shop with a mood, the voluptuous sum of the film's fine-tuned parts: the way a rundown patch of Queens is always flooded with mud; hotdogs smoking from a sidewalk BBQ; the muffled, incantatory chant of "Let's go, Mets!" that spills out into the parking lot of Shea Stadium, where a 12-year-old boy, dodging the eye of security, pries off hubcaps with a screwdriver. His name is Alejandro (Alejandro Polanco), and he steals to keep food on the table and his sister (Isamar Gonzales) away from truckers and their $40 tricks. They're street-wise orphans, squeaking by on Ale's meager odd jobs and his dream of independence, as ill-advised as it is poignant, in the form of a rusty, old, broke-down van that he yearns to one day rehabilitate into his very own bright and shiny tacomobile. All this is imagined by Ramin Bahrani, the acclaimed writer-director of Man Push Cart (2005), though Chop Shop derives much of its value from the sense of being found, not made. All due props to Ale and Isa, wonderfully authentic and nicely harmonized, but the most engrossing character here is Willet's Point, an industrial stretch of unpaved urban flotsam.

A police officer with "psychological difficulties" destroyed
his career when he stole cash during a drug raid, a court has
been told.
Detective Sergeant Shane Allan Stirling was caught on
surveillance footage pocketing money during a police raid on
a property in Woodridge, south of Brisbane, on June 25 this
He pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today to
stealing as a servant.
He was sentenced to 200 hours community service, despite the
crown asking for jail.
The court heard the crown is alleging he pocketed $1000,
while he claims it was only $300.
However, the court heard there would be little difference in
penalty between those two amounts.
Stirling's lawyer, Steve Zillman, said his client had enjoyed
a "meritorious career" for 20 years, and had been responsible
for numerous drug trafficking and murder investigations.
He said Stirling had been diagnosed in 2004 with significant
"psychological and psychiatric difficulties" that affected
his moods, his behaviour and his attitude to work.
"Because he was not acting rationally, he's not even at this
point able to say why it was he took the money," Mr Zillman
"It (appears) it was the playing out of a death wish, and it
has been achieved, because he has no future with the
Queensland Police Service."
Mr Zillman said QPS had instigated disciplinary action
seeking the dismissal of Stirling.
Commissioner Ian Stewart said the Queensland Police Service
would continue to take a tough stance on officers who broke
the law.
Magistrate Ray Rinaudo ordered that no conviction be

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
You can do things in comics you can't do in any other medium, and U.K. cartoonist Dan McDaid has taken advantage of that in his work on Time Lords, superheroes, gods, monsters and apes — and he's done it all without sacrificing his style. In fact, it's only invigorated him further.
McDaid is currently illustrating BOOM! Studios' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, taking a novel look at that world while retaining the auteur vibe that made the original movie work. Combining a diverse array of influences, Jack Kirby to John Romita Jr. and Frank Miller to Mike Zeck — even drawing in names like Nic Roeg and Sam Peckinpah — McDaid seems to showcase a different facet of his abilities in each project he tackles.
I became aware of McDaid during his run on Jersey Gods at Image Comics, but it's Catalyst Comix that made me reconsider my assessment of his work. Since then, with Vandroid and issues of Mind the Gap and Sex, he's risen in my mind to become a dynamic illustrator whose talent seems to be building to some unknown future project that will make him a marquee name in comics. Will it be Dawn of the Planet of Apes? Will it be the creator-owned book he's working on? Or perhaps something else?
A planned $3.14 billion U.K. theme park and resort could include attractions based on hit television series like Doctor Who and Sherlock through a new agreement with BBC Worldwide.
Developed by London Resort Company Holdings and supported by Paramount Pictures, the 900-acre London Paramount entertainment resort is set to open in 2020 in Dartford, southeast of London. It's expected to attract 15 million visitors a year with its 2,000-seat theater, hotels and more than 50 rides and attractions, some of which will be inspired by such Paramount properties as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible.

This time last year, longtime U.K. book and magazine publisher Titan announced it was delving into comics with a new imprint titled, aptly enough, Titan Comics. And in the 12 months since, the company has published a number of creator-owned titles as well as new editions of formerly out-of-print stories such as Jack Katz's The First Kingdom. But 2014 looks to see the company grow by leaps and bounds, as it recently announced the acquisition of the comics license for Doctor Who, previously held by IDW Publishing.
During IDW's seven-year run publishing Doctor Who comics, it produced an ongoing series and a number of miniseries and one-shots to some success, so it's conceivable that Titan Comics could do much the same. If so, it could help expand Titan from a boutique publisher to a sizable presence in the marketplace.
Appearing through Feb. 9 at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California, "Little Golden Tales" features the classic children's books reimagined by an impressive roster of artists. The result, in the words of the exhibit's description, is "a delightful body of work certain to charm your inner child."
It includes Breaking Bad depicted by Maxime Mary as a heartwarming chemistry lesson, The Lord of the Rings reinterpreted by Eren Blanquet Unten as an adorable "Middle-earth Book," the ideal read for little Whovians everywhere, Loren's The Little Doctor.
More pieces can be found at on the Nucleus website.
Considering the Comics Code Authority is now a thing of the past, and that cufflinks are increasingly rare, it seems only fitting that English illustrator and craftsman John Turner has brought the two together: For $31.19 plus shipping, you can get custom CCA cufflinks made from glass cabochons and comic book covers.
Turner writes in his Etsy store, "Show the world that you have been officially deemed fit for popular consumption with these awesome cufflinks, made from real vintage comic book covers featuring the iconic Comics Code Authority seal, which first appeared appeared in 1954 before finally disappearing in 2011."
If those don't strike your fancy, he offers plenty of others, including Doctor Who-themed cufflinks.
No doubt Doctor Who fans are still reeling from the events of yesterday's Christmas special, but what if the BBC had decided to go in a different direction with the new Doctor? Former Muppets cartoonist Roger Langridge imagines another sort of regeneration for the good Doctor — and some of his friends as well.
He created this Muppets/Doctor Who mashup for the London Film and Comic Con booklet, where he'll be a guest in March. Check it out below.
Duane in Orange County, Calif. is a man of action — action figures, that is.

Neil Gaiman has written the final short story in a series of e-books released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, each centering on one of the Time Lord's 11 incarnations. Titled "Nothing O'Clock," it stars the Eleventh Doctor (as played by Matt Smith) and Amy Pond.

Superheroes | Writer Jim Zubkavich tackles the burning question of why there are so few Canadian superheroes: "We don't have a long standing superhero tradition in this country. We don't have a long-standing focal point character people recognize (I like Captain Canuck, but the average person on the street does not know who he is). We're not a country galvanized by heavy-duty patriotic pride that lends itself to a Superman, Captain America or even a Batman. We don't have the kind of rampant crime that 'needs' a heroic symbol to fight back against." [Zub Tales]
Digital comics | The first issue of Mark Millar's Jupiter's Legacy sold more than 100,000 copies in stores, but was that because he refused to allow it to be sold in digital format the same day? Steve Bennett is doubtful, because so many people (including himself) didn't realize until the last minute it would be print-only for now. [ICv2]
Graphic novels | April was a slow month for new graphic novel releases, so the BookScan Top 20 had plenty of room for some backlist titles. The Walking Dead dominated, of course, but the 10th volume of Sailor Moon was there for a second month and actually moved up a notch. And the first volume of Saga came in at No. 12, perhaps because people were curious as to what all the fuss is about. [ICv2]

I've often heard creators who've worked on the comic-book adventures of Doctor Who comment that current showrunner Steven Moffat is somewhat dismissive of the contributions comics have made to the character's extended canon. That said, last Saturday's episode featured the recurring series MacGuffin "the Eye of Harmony," which has Alan Moore to thank for around 50 percent of its backstory.
In his first season in charge, Moffat inserted an episode based upon the Doctor Who Monthly strip "The Lodger" by Gareth Roberts, adapted by Roberts himself. His second season featured the Ray Bradbury and Hugo award-winning "The Doctor's Wife" written by Neil Gaiman, who's been known to write a comic or two in his time. He's returned to the series this season to write "Nightmare in Silver."

It's a busy week at the store for me, it seems. If I had $15 this week, I'd pick up Harbinger #0 (Valiant, $3.99), the one-shot revealing the backstory of the surprisingly compelling relaunch/reboot of the 1990s series, as well as the first issues of Fearless Defenders (Marvel, $2.99) and Snapshot (Image, $2.99). The latter, I've already read in its Judge Dredd Megazine serialization, but I'm really curious to see if it reads differently in longer chapters; the former, I'm just hopeful for, given the high concept and involvement of Cullen Bunn.
If I had $30, I'd add the reissued 7 Miles A Second HC (Fantagraphics, $19.99) to my pile. I remember reading the original Vertigo version of this in the 1990s, and am definitely curious to see what this recolored edition, with pages restored after being cut from the Vertigo edition, is like.
Splurging, I find myself drawn to IDW's Doctor Who Omnibus, Vol. 1 ($29.99). I blame the lack of new Doctor Who on the television right now. That month-and-a-bit is far too long to wait …!

If I had $15 this Wednesday, it'd be all Image for me – starting with Nowhere Men #3 (Image, $2.99). The Beatles as a scientific supergroup, through the lens of Dr. Strangelove? Let's do this. I've been a big fan of Nate Bellegarde for a while, and this book finally seems to capture what's unique about him – his comedy, his stark scientific acumen, and his humanism. After that I'd get Glory #32 (Image, $3.99). Beautiful cover by Ricken here, and reads like a great manga building up to some epic battle. After that I'd get Brian Wood and Ming Doyle's Mara #2 (Image, $2.99). I tried to hold back my expectations before reading Issue 1, and I was blown away – so now Issue 2 has something to prove. Finally, I'd get Invincible #100 (Image, $3.99) (Cory Walker's cover, if you want to know!). I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I think Invincible is better than The Walking Dead. No need to compare the two really, though, because no matter how you cut it, this series is great … and what Kirkman and Ottley have planned for the 100th issue looks to be unique – both for the promised deaths and the promise of seeing what could have been had Mark Grayson chosen differently.
If I had $30, I'd make up for lost time and get Brian Ralph's Cave-In (Drawn & Quarterly, $14.95) . I'm reticent to admit this, but I've never read this book. I loved Daybreak, but never found a copy or the motivation to seek out more … but this Wednesday that will change.
For splurging, I already have most of this in the single issues, but I can't help but splurge on the new collection X-Men: Mutant Massacre (Marvel, $34.99). This was my first crossover in comics, buying back-issues before I discovered events like Crisis on Infinite Earths and Secret Wars. In my rose-colored glasses, it's an ideal crossover for not being too overbearing and relating to a conflict or situation that isn't superhero-specific. Love the Morlocks, love Uncanny X-Men and the associated books around this time, so I'm buying this and spending an evening enjoying it all over again.

Many Turns on Road to Fuel Efficiency
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11:23 p.m.

On one stage of the Los Angeles Auto Show, BMW shows off "the cars of tomorrow," concepts powered by electricity. On another, Audi touts four new diesels. Ford, meanwhile, displays a tiny gasoline motor with an unprecedented mix of power and economy.
With consumers and the government demanding ever-higher fuel economy, automakers are tripping over one another at this year's auto show to trumpet technologies that squeeze more miles out of a fuel tank or an electric charge.
Until recently, peak fuel efficiency demanded a trade-off in performance and comfort. But the increasingly varied entrants in the miles-per-gallon race now offer substantial power and comfort.
"Instead of having a couple of electric vehicles, which are really only suited for a few people, you have mainstream vehicles that get you what you want and have the fuel efficiency you need," said Jake Fisher, automotive test director for Consumer Reports.
With gasoline prices above $3.50 per gallon in much of the nation, auto companies now market themselves more on fuel economy than horsepower, but their engineers are getting better at combining healthy doses of both.
Fuel economy has taken on greater importance with President Barack Obama's re-election, which automakers believe will cement federal regulations that require nearly doubling the average gas mileage for passenger vehicles to 54.5 mpg by 2025. If there's a lesson about fuel economy emanating from the auto show, it's that there are many roads to the new fuel economy standards.
"I hope the horse race continues," Fisher said. "I hope that automakers keep trying different things. And it might be that the eventual dominant technology is not even something that we have thought of."
At the L.A. Auto Show, which runs through this week, Audi showed off a line of vehicles equipped with turbocharged V-6 diesel engines that are expected to achieve as much as 30 percent better fuel efficiency than the gasoline counterparts the German automaker now sells.
Ford unveiled a gas-sipping, turbocharged, three-cylinder engine that packs more punch than the base four-cylinder now standard in its small cars. Depending on fuel economy tests, the Fiesta equipped with this engine may become the first non-hybrid gasoline vehicle to meet the 2025 gas mileage standards.
Chevrolet introduced the electric version of its Spark that it will bring to market next year, hoping to attract customers with an electric car priced at less than $25,000, after a $7,500 federal tax credit.
Some of the cars on display, including the Ford Fusion hybrid, the Toyota Camry hybrid and the Lexus ES 350 hybrid, already meet the 2025 standards.
The 54.5 mpg standard is based on a technical regulatory formula; in real-life driving, it's expected to translate to 37 mpg to 40 mpg.
That compares to the average fuel economy of 24.1 mpg for new vehicles purchased in October, a 20 percent jump from the same month in 2007, according to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
"You are seeing the suite of technologies in different vehicles to improve fuel economy," said Don Anair, the automotive analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
The technologies go well beyond engine types. They include eight- to 10-speed transmissions; improved aerodynamic body shapes; lighter-weight body panels and chassis components; tires with lower rolling resistance; start-stop systems that shut off the engine at red lights; and turbocharging, which creates a denser air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders.
More exotic technologies, such as pure electric engines or hydrogen fuel cells, probably won't be sold in numbers large enough to meet more stringent fuel economy targets.
"The heavy lifting will be done by conventional gasoline technology and hybrids," Anair said.
Beyond engines, automakers are aggressively looking to save weight, a huge factor in fuel economy. Nissan has the newest generation of its Pathfinder sport utility vehicle front and center at its display. The vehicle is bigger — more than 4 inches wider and longer — and has more interior volume, yet gets about 30 percent better fuel economy. The new Pathfinder is 500 pounds lighter than the vehicle it replaced.
Nissan has trimmed more than 100 pounds from the body, more than 35 pounds from the seats and interior trim and even nearly 16 pounds out of the radio and navigation components. It also achieved a 13 percent improvement in aerodynamics with sleeker styling.

Blood Testing for Allergies
In this article
Millions of Americans have allergies. You might sniffle and sneeze as the seasons change or get itchy and teary-eyed when you dust the house or pet an animal. Perhaps you start wheezing when you eat a particular food.
Allergy blood testing can help reveal what triggers your allergy symptoms and help your doctor choose the best treatment for you.
Recommended Related to Allergies
Spotting Hidden Allergy Triggers
If you've been living with allergies, you probably know the obvious stuff by now -- don't take in stray cats, don't hang around in dusty attics, don't inhale deeply in smoking lounges. But that might not be enough. There could be hidden allergy triggers and irritants all around you that you don't know about. "Hidden allergens and irritants are a huge problem for people with allergies," says Hugh H. Windom, MD, an associate clinical professor of immunology at the University of South Florida. "The...
Read the Spotting Hidden Allergy Triggers article > >
Types of Allergy Blood Tests
Allergy blood tests detect and measure the amount of allergen-specific antibodies in your blood. When you come into contact with an allergy trigger, known as an allergen, your body makes antibodies against it.
The antibodies tell cells in your body to release certain chemicals. These chemicals are what cause allergy symptoms. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody that's strongly linked to the body's allergy response.
Allergy blood tests usually screen for at least 10 of the most common allergy triggers, including dust, pet dander, trees, grasses, weeds, and molds related to where you live. They are also particularly helpful in diagnosing food allergies.
Allergy blood tests may be referred to as immunoassay tests and include:
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, or EIA)
- Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)
The ELISA test measures the amount of allergen-specific antibodies in your blood.
The RAST test also looks for specific allergen-related antibodies in order to identify your allergy triggers. Since the introduction of the ELISA test, RAST testing has not typically been used.
Allergies can cause an increase in certain types of white blood cells. Blood tests to check your white blood cell counts, including a count of a type of white cell called an eosinophil, may also be done if your doctor thinks you have allergies. However, it is important to keep in mind that many other health conditions can cause an increase in white blood cells.
Other blood tests may be ordered that measure the release of chemicals responsible for allergic reactions.
Why Allergy Blood Tests Are Done
Allergy skin testing is the preferred method, but in some cases blood testing may be ordered.
Allergy blood testing is recommended if you:
- Are using a medicine known to interfere with test results and cannot stop taking it for a few daysl this would include antihistamines, steroids, and certain antidepressants.
- Cannot tolerate the many needle scratches required for skin testing
- Have an unstable heart condition
- Have poorly controlled asthma
- Have severe eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or another severe skin condition
- Might have an extreme reaction during skin testing or have a history of life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis
Your doctor may also order blood testing to determine how well your allergy treatments (immunotherapy) are working. Blood testing may also show whether you have outgrown an allergy.

Reviews for Great River School Inc
A highlight of Great River School is their Key Experiences for all the kids. Every year each grade group A1, A2 & A3, gets out of the classroom learning environment and into a "worldly" experience learning key points along the way. Whether it is a wilderness trek, working on a farm, climbing the Grand Tetons, rebuilding LA from the aftermath of Katrina or biking 100 miles in a week (my kids participated on all of these), lodging is mostly in a camp ground in tents.
As a parent, I saw a need to help the school with managing their camping equipment because these key experiences have been huge in expanding my kids view in the world. Tents needed to be washed & repaired, and the staff needed assistance in getting the packing list developed and equipment ready to go. So, I put a call for help out to the other parents and was pleasantly surprised to see how many others cared so much about these trips. Many parents came together to help clean, organize and repack all of the gear.
I love knowing that this is such an involved community and a true sense of willingness to ensure the school is supported to continue these experiences for our kids.

Ask that parents keep staying involved.
I know Great River School as a substitute teacher, lego coach for 7th and 8th graders, and because my daughter attends. I am completely sold on the management, staff and structure. I say this as a high school teacher, being able to compare this school to numerous others. This is a great school that engages and pushes students to reach their full potential. My daughter is at times overwhelmed by homework but still says on a daily basis that she had a wonderful time at school. With the fall trip, the students connect in a way that makes them feel safe and free to be themselves--no small accomplishment in 7th graders! I would highly recommend this school to anyone else.

Great River School has been a great place for our daughter to attend her junior high years. She shares her sense of community and citizenship with us daily. The school definitely encourages her to think about how she relates to the world and all the potential roles that she might fill if she so chooses to make a difference. She struggles to stay organized, but cares deeply about what she is learning and always strives to learn more. I cannot ask for a more engaging environment for our youth.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Palestinian shopkeeper and father portrayed as a terrorist in the movie "Bruno" is suing film star Sacha Baron Cohen, David Letterman and others for libel and slander.
The lawsuit filed last week by Ayman Abu Aita in District of Columbia federal court seeks $110 million in damages.
The director and film distributor NBC Universal are named. So are CBS and Letterman's company Worldwide Pants for an interview in which Letterman and Cohen discussed Bruno's encounter with Abu Aita, who is called a terrorist.
In the movie, Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashionista trying to make it big in the United States. To achieve fame, Bruno travels to the Middle East to make peace.
Universal Studios and a Letterman spokesman declined comment.

For some odd reason, the thumbnails appear and disappear.
How can I fix this?
Trying to take a look at the problem, but page is password protected.
Hi, sorry.. password is:
I took a look at the site last night and saw the issue you were having. I installed the plugin on my testing site and could not duplicate the issue. For some reason, the html that is output is telling the other thumbnails to not display.
I logged in today, and noticed they came out with an update to the plugin. I would suggest trying to install that and see if the problem gets fixed.
Yeah.. I just updated it to the newest version and the problem persists.
Thanks for trying anyway. I'll have to look for a new plugin. Any recommendations? Doesn't have to be for Vimeo.
What plugins do you have installed? I'm seeing the plugin working on another install, so maybe there is something that's conflicting. I can try and install them on my setup and see what happens. Is the test subdomain a separate install from the main site?
The test subdomain is the main installation. I'm going to try disabling some plugins and see if that changes anything. Thanks.
Weird, I disabled all plugins and it's still not working, so I guess I will have to look around in my full-width template.
Try reactivating the plugin. I'll have a look.

The 14th Finance Commission is expected to be set up by September this year. The finance ministry has already started laying the groundwork for the Commission that would decide on the devolution of taxes between the Centre and state governments.
"The Finance Commission requires at least two to three years time to finalise its report, which requires extensive research and deliberations with Central ministries and state governments. It has to be set up by the end of the year," a finance ministry official said.
The Commission's recommendations will stand for the five-year period between 2015-2020.
An amount of Rs 30 lakh has also been earmarked in Budget 2012-13 for setting up an advance cell for the Commission.
'The advance cell will be set up so that it can get basic infrastructure such as office space and staff required for the Commission in place,' the official said.
Simultaneously, the finance ministry will work out the terms of reference as well as shortlist possible members for the high powered panel. 'It is too early in the day to decide on these issues but we will finalise all this in the next five to six months and seek Cabinet approval,' the official added.
The Finance Commission is a statutory body that has to be set up under the Constitution every five years.
Its primary responsibility is to finalise division of taxes and other monetary resources between the Centre and the states along with some other issues relating to public finances.
The Thirteenth Finance Commission was set up in November 2007 and was headed by Vijay Kelkar, former finance secretary and adviser to the finance minister and submitted its report in February 2010.
It recommendations which pertain to the period from 2010-15 include the impact of the proposed goods and services tax on the economy as well as a roadmap for fiscal consolidation.

Good time had by all at Etowah Elementary
Dear Community: I do believe that a good time was had by all at Etowah Elementary's first Countdown to Kindergarten. The rising kindergartners and their siblings seemed to enjoy creating their art projects, playing with Legos, and getting their faces painted while their guardians filled out the necessary paperwork for kindergarten registration and talked with teachers. Families came back from the school tour looking pleased and excited about the upcoming school year. I really enjoyed meeting the families and their rising kindergartners, who will not only be school mates with my child, but are also a part of my community.
The great success of the Countdown to Kindergarten is due to the many folks who donated so generously of their time, talents and resources. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them. First, a very sincere thanks to the Terrific Transitions team of which Donna Roberts is the chair. Donna, you are a great team builder. Also, thank you to Pam Justus, Ann Johnson, Belinda and Robert Morsut, Kim Berry and her family, Ellen Gilley, Melissa Moreno, the Etowah Fire Department, Leisha Pridmore, Jackie Davis, Patty Autwater, Belinda Morris and my family, the Welbourns. Thanks to the students who led the tours. You did a great job. Also, a big thanks to Dancing Bear Toys, Wal-Mart Supercenter and Egolf for donating prizes and goodies that made the event even more special for the children. And, finally, thank you to Mr. Thorpe and all the teachers and staff at Etowah who were extremely supportive of this event and put in many hours to ensure its success.
In this effort towards creating a stronger community and school, I have seen a tremendous generosity of spirit, and that is the best gift of all.

Kind person cared enough to leave note
Dear Community: On March 18, after shopping at the Fresh Market, I returned to my car parked in a handicapped parking space. On the windshield of the car I found a note written on a small brown paper bag. The message was brief, a license number, plus "This car hit your car on back passenger side."
Because of the thoughtfulness of this witness my insurance company was able to trace the license number to the owner of the car that caused the damage to my car. As a result, the claim was settled quickly and satisfactorily.
My sincere thanks to the kind person who cared enough to leave a note informing me of what he or she had seen regarding the accident. Bless you.

Tax aid volunteersworked tirelessly
Dear Community: I would like to express my thanks publicly to Jim Spicer, our AARP tax-aide coordinator and his very able assistants, his wife Sharon and computer whiz Judy Havard.
Henderson, Polk, Spartanburg and Greenville counties ought to be very grateful to these three people who worked tirelessly five and one half days a week, plus one evening, from Feb. 1 through April 15. When the Polk County coordinator was unable to work this year, Jim and another volunteer came to the Columbus Library to help in this area every Wednesday. I know, I was there.
In 21 years of doing AARP Tax-Aide, I have seen many changes. All of them have been good and helpful to others. However, Jim and his staff have gone way beyond anything you could expect in the way of volunteering and help. We are extremely fortunate to have such willing volunteers in our area. If you see them, say thank you for the 2,321 returns in which they had a part.

Several times each week, the Fresh Market delivers a variety of breads, sandwiches, salads and desserts to Mainstay's shelter, which houses victims of domestic violence.
In 2004, Mainstay served nearly 850 clients, and housed almost 200 victims of domestic violence, of which nearly half were children. We appreciate what the Fresh Market does for Mainstay. They are a kind and generous steward of the community.

Get ready to dazzle everyone at your dinner table. Here, Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone shows how to make Asian-style crab cakes with cucumber and mango chutney along with banoffee pie for dessert.
For the crab cakes:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/4 cup minced green onions
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 red Fresno chili, minced
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, squeezed dry
- 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 6 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 hothouse cucumber, cut into thin matchstick-size strips
- Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Mango chutney:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted, diced small
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
Baking Directions:
1. To prepare the crab cakes: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, egg, fish sauce and sesame oil to blend. Whisk in the green onions, ginger, cilantro, chili and lime zest. Add the crab meat and stir to coat, coarsely breaking apart the crabmeat. Fold in the panko. Cover and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 1 hour. 2. Meanwhile, to make the compote: Heat a heavy medium sauce pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cook without stirring until the sugar melts and caramelizes, tilting the pan as necessary to ensure the sugar caramelizes evenly, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the mango (the caramel will clump). Add vinegar and lime juice and return the pan to medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring constantly, until the caramel bits dissolve, the mango begins to look translucent, and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chutney to a bowl and cool completely. 3. To cook the crab cakes: Using your hands and about 1/3 cup of crab mixture for each, form the crab mixture into twelve discs. Set the crab cakes in a single layer on a baking sheet as you form them.4. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter and cook until melted, about 1 minute. Working in batches, fry 6 crab cakes at a time for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are crisp and golden on the outside and heated through, reducing the heat to ensure the crab cakes brown evenly. Transfer the crab cakes to paper towels to remove any excess oil. Wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining oil, butter and crab cakes. 5. To serve: Place 2 crab cakes on each of six plates. Top each with the cucumber and spoon some of the mango compote alongside. Garnish with cilantro sprig and serve.
For the crust:
- 9 ounces graham crackers
- 1 stick butter, melted
For the toffee sauce:
- 1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
For the filling:
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 5 small bananas (about 1.5 pounds total)
Baking Directions:
To make the crust: Line the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Blend the graham crackers in a food processor until they are finely ground. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and process to blend well. The crumbs should stick together when pressed. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate.To make the toffee sauce: Place a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Combine the sugar and 3 tablespoons of water in a medium heavy saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil without stirring until the color is deep amber, occasionally swirling the pan and brushing down the sides with a pastry brush dipped into water, about 5 minutes.Stir in the condensed milk and butter. Continue stirring for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.Remove the toffee sauce from the heat and spread 1 cup of the sauce over the prepared crust and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the caramel is semi-firm. Keep the remaining caramel sauce at room temperature.To fill the pie: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in a large bowl until thick and very soft billowy peaks form. Very thinly slice 3 of the bananas into discs. Fold the sliced bananas into the softly whipped cream and spoon into the prepared pie crust.Slice the remaining bananas and arrange them decoratively over the pie. Rewarm the remaining toffee sauce gently over low heat. Drizzle some of the sauce decoratively over the pie. If the sauce has thickened too much to drizzle, stir a few tablespoons of milk into the sauce to create a thinner consistency. Cut the pie into wedges and transfer to plates. Drizzle each pie wedge with more sauce and serve.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders Health Center
Understanding Panic Attack -- the Basics
In this article
What Are Panic Attacks?
Panic attacks are unmistakable. You're involved in some ordinary aspect of life when suddenly your heart begins to pound and you hyperventilate, sweat, and tremble. You fear you are having a heart attack, going crazy, or even dying. Then, 10 minutes or so later, it's gone. What just happened? You have had a panic attack.
Panic attacks are fairly common, usually beginning between ages 15 and 25. If you have recurrent panic attacks, a persistent fear of subsequent attacks occurring, or if you change your behavior significantly because of such attacks, you have panic disorder, which affects nearly 1 in 20 adults according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Between attacks, sufferers live in dread of the next one.

Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder -- Prevention
If you suffer from an anxiety disorder, you may need professional help. See your doctor for a referral to a mental health specialist. Though not a treatment for anxiety disorders, the following tips can help reduce symptoms of anxiety: Take care of your body by eating a well-balanced diet. Include a multivitamin when you can't always eat right. Limit alcohol, caffeine, and sugar consumption. Take time out for yourself every day. Even 20 minutes of relaxation or doing...
Read the Understanding Generalized Anxiety Disorder -- Prevention article > >
Many people with panic disorder relate an attack to what they were doing when it occurred. They may assume that the restaurant, elevator, or classroom caused the attack, and decide to avoid that situation. In these cases, panic disorder may lead to agoraphobia -- the fear of leaving home or being in public places.
What Causes Panic Attacks?
The underlying cause of panic attacks and panic disorder is not clear. There is evidence of both a genetic and a biochemical basis. Some researchers believe that panic disorder may result from an oversensitivity in the brain to carbon dioxide and the triggering of a suffocation "false alarm" in the brain, leading to hyperventilation and panic. There is also an association between panic attacks and phobias, such as school phobia or agoraphobia, as well as with depression, alcohol abuse or cigarette smoking, suicide risk, and seasonal affective disorder -- a type of depression that occurs during winter months.
Panic disorder may begin after a serious illness or accident, the death of a close friend, separation from the family, or the birth of a baby. Attacks may also accompany the use of mind-altering drugs. Most often, however, a panic attack comes "out of the blue." It may even begin during sleep.
Some medical problems and medications can cause panic attacks, including some antidepressants. Panic disorder that begins after age 40 suggests depression or another underlying medical disorder.

Friedrich Risner
Friedrich Risner (c.1533 – 15 September 1580) was a German mathematician from Hersfeld [1], Hesse. He was an assistant to Petrus Ramus (from around 1565) and was the first chair of mathematics at Collège Royale de France (1576).[1][2]
Risner is known for his 1572 publication of "Opticae thesaurus: Alhazeni Arabis libri septem, nuncprimum editi; Eiusdem liber De Crepusculis et nubium ascensionibus, Item Vitellonis Thuringopoloni libri X", an edition of works by Ibn al-Haitham and Erazmus Ciolek Witelo, two men who were both early pioneers in the field of optics. The publication became a major benefit to a number of mathematicians and scientists, such as Kepler, Huygens, and Descartes.
He was the first to propose the idea of a portable camera obscura, which purportedly was to be used as an aid in the creation of artistic works. His idea consisted of a lightweight wooden hut that had small holes fitted with lenses in each wall, and a cube of paper placed in the centre for drawing.
After St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, Risner fled back to Hersfeld and died there eight years later. Risner was buried in Hersfeld Abbey, where his gravestone is well preserved.
The Latin circumscription on the gravestone is: "Anno Domini 1580. 17. Cal. Octob. pie in Christo obiit clariss. vir Fridericus Risner insignis et praestantissimus Mathematicus qui hic terrae mandatus sonitum tubae expectat aetatis suae 47."
English translation of the inscription above is: "In year 1580 at 15th of September, died in Christ at the age of 47, the well famous Friedrich Risner, an outstanding, excellent mathematician, who passed to soil here, will expect the sound of trumpet."
