A tattered scarecrow stands in the middle of a muddy field, taking no notice of the violent thunderstorm around him. But when a bolt of lightning strikes him, fizzing its way through his turnip head and down his broomstick, the Scarecrow blinks with surpriseand comes to life.
So begins the story of the Scarecrow, a courteous but pea-brained fellow with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant. Leaving behind his bird-scaring duties, the Scarecrow sets out for Spring Valley, with Jack at his side. As the valiant Scarecrow plunges them into terrifying dangersbattles, brigands, broken hearts, and treasure islandshe never realizes he's being followed by the one family who desperately wishes he'd never sprung to life. Will the Scarecrow discover the secret to his past before the crooked Buffalonis close in on him?

In the tradition of "The Wizard of Oz," Philip Pullman's children's novel, "The Scarecrow and His Servant" blends fantasy with adventure to create a curious story of friendship and ingenuity. When struck by lightning in a wheat field, a typical scarecrow with a broomstick backbone and a turnip head comes to life like Frankenstein—with the notable exception of the scarecrow's decidedly benign and non-monstrous nature. The Scarecrow soon happens upon a young boy, Jack, whom he adopts as his servant, and the two embark upon an adventurous journey to Spring Valley, where the Scarecrow is sure that he belongs. They encounter dangerous events at every turn, from brigands to a regiment to a shipwreck, and their quest is challenging. Fortunately for the humorous and often ignorant Scarecrow, Jack is inventive and resourceful, and together they face each trial with hope. However, as with every folk story, there is a villain determined to have his own way, and this time that entity is embodied by the Buffalonis, an ill-famed family who claims the rights to Spring Valley. The outcome may be unexpected, but the fun and danger of the journey is certain. "The Scarecrow and His Servant" is written much like a fairy tale for older children and adolescents aged approximately 8-12. There are many words that will require a dictionary or an adult's guidance, and the obscenity "damn" appears on page 116. The story itself is highly fantastical and unbelievable, containing multiple anachronisms such as mentions of winning the lottery and a police station, but hence the mythical element. Overall, Pullman's short novel introduces readers to endearing characters and an interesting plotline fraught with obstacles and humor, if inaccurate and insensible at times.
This book is fun to read. The name says it all; i recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good fun book.
I loved this book because it was funny and unrealistic. I don't like many fantasy books but this was one of the best of the few that I like. I would love for you to read this book because its funny and it makes you want to read on. This book has a good twist of mystery slipped into it to make it the coolest story ever!!!
i read this book when i was in 5th or 6th grade ( i don't remember) for those reading quizes where you have to read a book every 2 months and take a quiz for it for a grade. so i picked this book up, thinking it was short. at first i thought it was a stupid book because who wants to read about a scarecrow coming to life. It's just like cinderella. but then after i read it, it turned out to be a really good book. I finished this in 3 days. Must read for children.
This was a fun book to read. I felt that some of the wording could be confusing for elementary age readers but it is a good way to expose them into language. Fun story with an excited adventure!!
Our children, ages 6, 9 and 9, and I have enjoyed reading this book aloud this summer. Pullman is a marvelous storyteller, and this book lends itself perfectly to dramatic reading 'even overacting, if you're so inclined'-- enchanting.

It's not a war. It's a congressionally sanctioned military action. The congress created it and the responsibility for it lies with congress. Bush never asked for nor could he have obtained a declaration of war, and yet he and Reichert and the rest speak as if he had. In a *war* the commander in chief more or less determines the parameters. In a congressionally authorized action congress does. So the war was politicized when Bush decided to launch into it this way. Of course it's the same way that Vietnam was politicized.
Never elect a fat man as mayor. Never elect a reformed alchoholic as president (Bush, Grant), never elect a law enforcement officer to any office higher than dog-catcher, and then only if you hate dogs.
Wouldn't the comparison to the Green River Killer be more apt if we captured Saddam Hussein, released him, and then recaptured him twenty years later?
SO this guy was an ineffectual sheriff who could not catch a rather daft man killing hookers and its Darcy Burner who was unqualified. right...
Klausewitz (not sure if I spelled that right); "War is politics by other means."
Seriously, does Reichert have anything but the Green River deal? That's it. That, in his own mind, defines him and justifies his every decision. "But I caught the Green River Killer." How the hell does that translate into being a decent lawmaker? Oh, obviously it doesn't.
Even if it had only taken him 1 year to catch the Green River killer... what the fuck does that have to do with being a good congressman?
Once I farted on the set of Blue Lagoon... ELECT ME!
Do the Republicans shy away from you because you're partisan or because they're afraid you'll try to give them the flu?
script reading back bench lackey.
But how's his hair look?
Wasn't Green River that decision by Reichert that almost destroyed the King County budget with a massive waste of taxpayer dollars for NOTHING?
You know, the usual Red Bushie trick of massive deficits to fund things that never should have been funded in the first place?
Yeah, that should haunt him. It almost bankrupted our COUNTY!

Re: How do you cancel your account before they charge you after the 30days
This is so deceptive. They say that they will send you an email and they don't. They don't provide an online way to cancel, and they just automatically debit your account $90 after the 30 days. This service is misleading. It will probably take a law suit to get them to straighten out how they deal with the public.

Vt. officials dealing with out-of-bounds skiersThe Associated Press | January 17,2013Vermont State Police and tourism and ski industry officials are trying to come up with a plan to deal with skiers who ignore warning signs and get lost in the woods.
In the last several weeks, first responders have had to look for 47 lost skiers and riders, most of them in the Killington-Pico area.
Parker Riehle, executive director of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, tells Vermont Public Radio those breaking the rules are tough to reach.
He said Killington has suggested putting full-size cut outs of state police near their ticket windows. He says the displays would include stern warnings about the dangers of skiing out of bounds.
Riele says Killington also talked about posting public safety personnel at some of the trouble spots on the mountain.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

OUR VIEW: Edmore needs new leaders
The Edmore Village Council election is the most contested race of any in Montcalm County, and one of the most important.
The Edmore Village Council election is the most contested race of any in Montcalm County, and one of the most important.
Voters in Eureka Township and Howard City will be asked in the general election to elect someone to lead their municipality.
Montcalm County voters will be asked to approve a millage renewal proposal in the upcoming general election, while Ionia County voters will be asked to approve a 911 surcharge increase. We encourage voters to say yes to both worthy proposals.
Recently, I shared in this column some of the results of the Phi Delta Kappan/ Gallup Poll on the attitude of the public toward the Public Schools. Since that column was published, I have received the September issue of Phi Delta Kappan magazine which includes more detailed discussion about what we can learn from the poll.
Another primary election, another dismal turnout. Tuesday brought just 15.5 of registered voters to the polls in Ionia County and 15 percent in Montcalm County.
The community has an opportunity to evaluate its Board of Education members every other year at the November election. It used to be every year, but that changed when the State eliminated the annual May school election in an effort to cut costs. Sometimes local boards survey their parents or community for input.
Three candidates are vying for the seat of Montcalm County's 64B District Court judge.
The Aug. 5 primary election date is rapidly approaching. I continue to get questions regarding Proposal 1. I am concerned that many of you say that you are not receiving the flyers that come to my house almost daily. You do not feel you have the information you need to cast your vote.
Five Republicans are vying for two Congressional seats in two of the hottest races of Tuesday's primary election.
Several Board of Commissioners races will be on the Aug. 5 primary election ballot affecting our readers in three local districts. Debra Bach of Otisco Township and David Hodges of Belding are vying for the Republican win for the District 1 seat on the Ionia County Board of Commissioners.

comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by timo
__file__ returns an absolute path and dirname is used twice to traverse two directories above the settings.py file. What happens on your system?
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by dmamaev@…
os.path.abspath function returns normalized absolute path on different platforms, so it more safely.
For example current defaults with os.path.pardir:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)) DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, os.path.pardir, 'db', 'db.sqlite3'), } }
Thensyncdb command starts with these settings it returns OperationalError: unable to open database file on Windows 7 with ActivePython 220.127.116.11, but works perfectly then BASE_DIR is os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)).
This solution also works on Debian 7 with Python 2.7.2.

- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
Thanks for the suggestion. However I believe the current implementation is correct for its intended use case.
If your Django project is stored in a version control system, BASE_DIR should be the root directory. The name BASE_DIR makes it clear that you shouldn't navigate to the parent directory.
If you deviate from the expected repository layout, you should adjust your settings file accordingly.
comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by kermit
I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 with Python 2.7.5 and am also experiencing problems, because __file__ returns a relative path and my templates are not found as I reported in https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21409. The abspath(dirname(__file__)) solution works for me.
This behaviour of __file__ was also discussed in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7116889/python-file-attribute-absolute-or-relative and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7783308/os-path-dirname-file-returns-empty.
comment:6 Changed 2 years ago by dev@…
The double dirname solution works in most cases, but not all - e.g. _ _file_ _ being relative. Also using os.path.dirname on a directory feels unintuitive and anti-semantic.
Unfortunately the right way to do this (from my point of view) is pretty hard to read and complex due to function nesting:
BASE_PATH = os.path.abspath( os.path.normpath( os.path.join( os.path.dirname(__file__), os.path.pardir ) ) )
or shorter:
p = os.path BASE_PATH = p.abspath( p.normpath( p.join( p.dirname(__file__), p.pardir ) ) )
Maybe we should investigate what people use and how many have problems with this preset.
comment:7 Changed 23 months ago by hjwp
As of Python 3.4, __file__ will always return an absolute path. Could that be an argument for adding the abspath as the innermost call, to make sure that the behaviour in 3.4+ is the same as previous versions?
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

They are stranded and need your help.
"They" are a family of four along with their total of 29 cats and dogs that had their mini-van destroyed early Friday morning when it was rear-ended on the Bluegrass Parkway.
Just days after the Anderson County Fiscal Court left them for dead, the Anderson County Board of Elections on Friday revived — for now — polling places at Hickory Grove and Rutherford.
The western Anderson County locations will be surveyed for a third time, but only after the fiscal court has a chance to correct any shortcomings that caused them to fail two previous surveys.
The surveys are conducted by the Kentucky Disabilities Coalition to determine handicap accessibility.
A 3-year-old was run over and its twin injured Tuesday night when a parked car they were playing in was knocked out of gear and rolled down a driveway, according to a news release from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office.
The twin that was run over was airlifted to the University of Kentucky Trauma Center and admitted, according to the news release. The release did not include the child's condition.
The other twin was treated for an abrasion on its arm and released.
Their identities were not released.
Jerrica Drury, 8, and Layne Barlow, 7, are like most other little girls.
They like school (both are in second grade at Emma B. Ward Elementary), have a lot of friends, love candy and ice cream, enjoy board games, play baseball, are a little giddy and a little shy around strangers.
Full of energy, their eyes light up when they giggle and at times they are even a little mischievous.
Will she get $1.5 million, nothing at all or somewhere in between?
That is the primary — but far from the only — question that will likely be answered in a sexual harassment trial scheduled to begin 9 a.m. Monday in Anderson Circuit Court.
The owners of an abandoned house on Hammond Road were notified Friday that it's a fire hazard and they have 10 days to remove it or face fines or jail time.
That news couldn't come soon enough for Kristyle Renfro, a neighbor who said she's sick of rodents coming from the crumbling house and infesting hers.
"I have had an unbelievably large amount of mice in my house that have come from that house," Renfro said while standing in her front yard last week. "I have seen all kinds of animals come from there.
Following a nearly hour-long beat down of the county clerk, the Anderson County Fiscal Court declined to take action Tuesday morning on fixing rural voting precincts that have failed yet another inspection.
Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney and Kentucky Congressman Ben Chandler announced a friendly wager over the Final Four match-up between the University of Kentucky Wildcats and the UConn Huskies, Chandler's office announced Thursday morning.
Courtney wagered cigars from Jarmoc Farms, UConn chocolate bars from Munson's Chocolate Co., and two bottles of wine from Priam Vineyards.
Tourists looking for Lovers Leap Vineyards and Winery will have an easier time finding it, thanks to the relocation of signs directing them to the unique Anderson County landmark.
Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway said he worked with state officials to have several signs moved and new ones erected, pointing the way to the winery, located on Lanes Mill Road.

This seems like a simple task: how can I change the screen resolution with non-deprecated methods in Snow Leopard?

For Afghan-Bound Soldiers, A Pep Talk And A Prayer
American troops are heading to Afghanistan for a major offensive this summer, and the 101st Airborne Division is part of the buildup. Late one night a few weeks ago, the first soldiers from the 101st boarded a plane for Kandahar.
They gathered and said goodbye to children and parents, husbands and wives. And in their last moments at Fort Campbell, Ky., they lined up for one more address from their commander, Maj. Gen. John Campbell.
Campbell told the men that this year and next is the time to turn Afghanistan around. "You guys are going to lead that main effort," he said to the soldiers.
"Twenty years from now, you're going to be sitting in a rocking chair someplace thinking about what you did in 2010 and 2011. You can puff up your chests and say, 'I was in Afghanistan. I was there when Afghanistan turned. I was there when it made a difference.' This is our nation's main effort now," he said.
"You guys are part of a minority. One-half of 1 percent of our nation is doing what you're doing. You've got to feel pretty good about that," he said.
After a prayer, Campbell said he was going to shake every soldier's hand.
"It's important. If we're sending you off to combat, I want to look you in the eyeballs. Look me in the eyes, and let me know you're ready to go," he said.
Campbell and the rest of 101st Airborne Division will join these soldiers in Afghanistan this summer.

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
All the way until December 20th, I will be doings posts featuring seven memorable Marvel covers from the past 50 years (since Fantastic Four #1 came out, the beginning of the "Marvel Age"). I will be posting them in essentially random fashion. It does not matter if a cover shows up today or Day 15, they all have the same chance for your final vote. Once all 105 covers are posted, you all will pick the top 50 most memorable covers in the history of the "Marvel Age" and I'll reveal your choices to you on December 22nd and 23rd.
E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com for suggestions for covers that you think should be among the choices for the final vote. Remember, we're talking "memorable" not necessarily "the best looking" covers. Think covers that get homaged a lot, covers that routinely pop up as part of histories of certain characters, etc.
Read on for the next seven covers!
Huh, I can't really see what's so memorable about those Spidey and X-Men covers, though certainly the Neal Adams one is cool-looking. The others I certainly remember, so I guess they pass that test.
Is the X-Men 58 cover done by Steranko or Neal Adams? I believe Adams was doing art by isse 58.
Whoops, I meant X-Men #58 and Spider-Man #40 don't seem so memorable to me. X-Men #142 is a classic.
You know it's a strong batch when arguably the least memorable cover is by Neal Adams. Strong design to be sure, but all the others are catchier.
The Spider-Man #40 cover may seem underwhelming to younger readers, but keep in mind that the Spidey-Goblin conflict had been going for a while at the time, and the Goblin was still a relatively fresh villain that had beaten Spidey more than once. So that cover, with triumphant Spidey standing tall, was a double order of "hell yes" – you just HAD to buy it to see how the long-anticipated beatdown went.
And looking at that cover for the classic X-Men #142, I was struck by a detail that doesn't usually stand out in remakes of this cover, a detail that makes the image even creepier: how limp Storm looks in the Sentinel's hand, like a broken doll. Powerful cover.
X-men 142 is definitely a classic.
I recognized that cover for twenty years before I ever got around to reading the actual issue
The Daredevil cover is stunning. I love covers where the hero has his mask off.
X-Men 58 is a much better cover than 142.
Havok makes for fantastic visuals and has one of the absolute best designs in comics.
Besides, the issue 141 is the truly iconic Days of Future Past cover.
It has a great layout, it tells a story with one image, and it has tons of stuff going on while remaining perfectly simple. Also, it is just straight up better drawn than 142.
142 is pure shock value with little in terms of design or storytelling.
Classic. I have to find a reprint of that.
I am always amazed at the covers Byrne did for X-Men in that stretch of '80-'81. #133, #135, #136, #137, #138, #141, #142… all of them arguably some of the most iconic Marvel covers ever, and all published within a year and within a single title.
ASM #40 is – although it wouldn't get my vote for most iconic – still one of my favorite covers ever. It's killer on its own, but when viewed in concert with #39, it is glorious. ASM #39 has such a feeling of helplessness and despair, a very clear assertion that Gobby is triumphant, and then #40 turns the tables and reminds you that Spidey doesn't fold that easily. It is such a "F@#% Yeah!" moment (much like Hulk holding up the moment on Secret Wars #4, actually).
*mountain, not "moment." Sorry.
(Why would Hulk be holding up a moment?)
One hundred and fifty BILLION tons?
These are all good covers, but again, I think there are some inconsistencies and ambiguities with the selections. MArvels 4, for example, is a great cover, but is no better or more memorable than Marvels 2 and/or 3. If all four covers end up on the list, then great. But if we don't end up seeing the other two, then why is #4 here? It just seems random, as though the list started with the top 500 Marvel covers, and then 105 were chosen from that list with no rhyme or reason. Likewise, that Secret Wars cover is nice, but if it's here at the expense of some of those Byrne X-Men covers that ookerdookers mentioned, then that's just ridiculous.
One hundred and fifty BILLION tons?
Yup. And he's not happy!
By the way, Brian, what's up with the final answers to the "Name That Artist" contests?
"These are all good covers, but again, I think there are some inconsistencies and ambiguities with the selections.

I used to say the same thing with regards to when MTV (remember when they played music?!) would have the top video countdowns and have a video from Nirvana's unplugged at like number 9 and then at number 39. It was the same live acoustic concert. Are you voting for the video? Or the SONG that's IN the video?
That said, some of these covers seem nice, but I don't know if I personally see them as memorable or iconic, but, hey, that's just me! lol I think Brian's doing a great job, and he's got his views, I've got mine.
Also, Brian, thanks for doing stuff like this. It's a nice, relaxing distraction from the hell I deal with regularly. lol
I remember every one of these covers (save for the Secret Wars). I especially love the X-Men covers. They remind me of a time when I gave a crap about them.
Yeah, I'll have to add to the chorus saying Spider-Man #40 was a big damn deal. I suppose it's probably a bit dilluted now given that the Green Goblin shows up every other month, but this was the climax of an arc that had been simmering for a couple of dozen issues.
And also Romita's second issue.
#39 is more iconic, more remembered, and more homaged. But #40 is up there.
I wasn't expecting that Secret Wars cover, but I like it! (can't believe 25% of that series has been represented, and we haven't even reached the legendary Doom cover yet!).
Likewise, I'd forgotten that Daredevil one, but it's a good one. I hope more Frank Miller is on the way!
I read that John Byrne did NOT do that Sentinels cover, that it was entirely Terry Austin. Can anyone confirm that? Amazing cover in any case.
I read that John Byrne did NOT do that Sentinels cover, that it was entirely Terry Austin. Can anyone confirm that?
Yes, that's solely an Austin drawing. Note that it only has Austin's signature on it.
For some reason The Secret Wars cover is one of my all time favorites
One hundred and fifty BILLION tons?
I was curious, so I looked up the density of granite. According to wikipedia, it is around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter.
Using that as a base, and assuming gravity was the same on the battleplanet as on Earth, one hundred and fifty billion tons (or 300 trillion lbs) would work out to a mountain range of around 50 million cubic meters, or about 1.78 billion cubic feet. That would translate to a mountain range made of granite about a half mile long, a quarter mile wide and 500 feet high.
So, the fact that the mountain range that the Hulk is holding up is around 150 billion tons is actually a pretty good guestimate.
Now, whether or not the Hulk could actually lift that kind of weight is another matter entirely.
I believe that the canon is that the more pissed off the Hulk gets, the stronger he becomes – and he was very, VERY pissed off at the time.
Yeah, he was very pissed, particularly because Reed kept insulting his intelligence on purpose to get him angrier and angrier (Hulk had Banner's brain during Secret Wars)

Dental Insurance – Wyoming
Get Free Quotes on Wyoming Dental Insurance
Not all dental insurance plans are available everywhere, but DentalInsurance.com makes it easy to see which plans are available in Wyoming. Enter your zip code above to receive free quotes from some of the leading dental insurance plans in your area and begin by comparing them side by side. It's important to note, however, that plans vary widely by the type of plan in terms of how the provider covers dental services and the amount of freedom the plan provides in terms of choosing a dentist and whether or not a patient needs to wait for certain procedures. Understanding the differences between these plan types is essential in choosing a dental insurance plan that's right for you.
Types of Dental Insurance Plans Available in Wyoming
There are four different types of dental insurance plans in Wyoming, and no plan type is perfect for everyone. Some may have a relatively low up-front cost, while others provide a great deal of freedom in terms of choosing a dentist and receiving care without restrictions. Understanding these differences as well as the needs of you and your family is essential to choosing the right plan. The types of plans available in Wyoming are:
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations)
PPOs get their name from the network of preferred dentists they work with. Dentists within the network agree to provide their services at a discounted rate to PPO subscribers in order to gain access to a wider patient pool. This allows the PPO to guarantee a maximum cost of service from dentists within the network. PPOs usually cover services from dentists outside of the network as well, but coverage may be much more limited. PPOs are a good all-around plan, but keep in mind that most PPOs require deductibles and calendar year maximums. PPO plan providers in Wyoming include HumanaOne, Security Life Insurance Company Of America, and Nationwide .
Indemnity Plans
Indemnity plans provide coverage through a fee-for-service model, which is considered a "traditional" dental insurance model. These plans give the most freedom in terms of choosing a dentist, as they cover services from all dentists. The amount of coverage for specific procedures is determined based on a UCR index, which stands for Usual, Customary, and Reasonable. This index is essentially the average cost of services from nearby dentists, but each provider will have its own UCR index. The provider then lists the amount it is willing to cover for specific services in its "fee schedule," which is usually listed as percentages. Indemnity plans typically offer plenty of coverage, but they may lead to higher out-of-pocket payments, since providers make reimbursements after receiving and reviewing the bill. Indemnity plan providers in Wyoming include Security Life Insurance Company Of America, Nationwide, and American National.
Discount Plans
Discount plans are an attractive option for patients who have inadequate coverage. Subscribers receive a discount card that allows them to receive unlimited dental care at a discounted price. Patients are typically responsible for the entire price that is not covered by the discount at the time of the visit, so it's important to be aware of the provider's discount fee schedule. You should also make sure your preferred dentist accepts the plan. The discount plan providers available in Wyoming include Patriot Health Inc., Careington International, and Aetna Dental.
Fee Schedule Plan
Fee Schedule are similar to indemnity plans in that they operate on a fee-for-service model, but they may also work within a network like a PPO. Like indemnity plans, fee schedule plan providers list the amounts they are willing to cover in their UCR-based fee schedule, but this may be listed as a dollar amount as opposed to a percentage. These plans tend to have lower premiums than PPO or Indemnity plans, but they may also have greater restrictions like waiting periods for certain procedures and calendar year maximums Security Life Insurance Company Of America is a major Fee Schedule Plan provider in Wyoming.

Hi there
Please could you right click anywhere on that page, then click on "inspect element", then navigate to the "console" tab and copy and paste what you see in there please?
Kind regards
I'm having the same issue and it's happening in multiple sites. Here's what's in the console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
Following up on previous post, I also just realized that the map box which used to be below each page in the visual editor is now not present. I have disabled all other plugins but this one and the issue persists.
Hi Nathan
Are you perhaps using a caching plugin? If yes, you will need to add "wp-content/uploads/wp-google-maps/" to your "exclude paths" within the CDN settings area of the plugin. Does this help?
Kind regards
I am having this same issue. I am using Quick Cache, but have cleared the cache and de-activated the plugin and still no luck. I am on a multi-site install, if that makes a difference.
Here is the error I get my my developer console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://mysite.com/mysubsite/wp-content/uploads/sites/65/wp-google-maps/65-2markers.xml?u=3356. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.mysubsite.com' is therefore not allowed access.
This seems to of occurred due to the latest update, or one of the latest. I don't recall if the update was to the base plugin or the Pro add-on, though.
Also, I am using "WordPress MU Domain Mapping" with my multisite install.
Sorry, I moved on to another plugin, when the fundamental element did not work.
No, there is no caching plugin installed for me. Also, as mentioned, I've disabled all plugins and the issue persists.
Metaphorcreations, you have a CDN issue where the plugin is trying to access the marker's XML file from another location (your CDN). I had a look at Quick Cache and didnt notice and CDN options. Are you perhaps not using any other caching plugin or "CDN" plugin?
Nathan, you mention the following:
I also just realized that the map box which used to be below each page in the visual editor is now not present
Our plugin does not have any map functionality that appears on the admin page visual editor section? Our maps are created via "Maps" in the left navigation.
We've recently put in some more checks for the marker files on install along with some handy notifications. If all else fails, please review http://www.wpgmaps.com/documentation/troubleshooting/my-markers-are-not-showing-on-my-map/
Kind regards
caching plugin deactivated. but marker is not visible on map
Please go to maps->settings and take a screen shot of the "advanced options" section.
Do you see any errors there?

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told a U.S. delegation Saturday that he was seeking to set off a "positive and constructive" dialogue with the United States, hoping to clench stronger ties between the two nations, reports CBS News' George Baghdadi.
Assad's outreach came during lengthy talks with a visiting U.S. congressional delegation headed by Democratic Rep. Adam Smith of Washington State, a rare visit seen by many diplomats here as an attempt to break the ice between Damascus and Washington.
"The president underlined the importance of conducting a positive and constructive dialogue which is built on the basis of the mutual interests and reciprocal respect between Syria and the United States," Syrian officials said.
The American delegation, they said, "underlined Syria's important role in the region and expressed the new U.S. administration's desire to develop Syrian-American relations to serve stability in the Middle East."
Smith, who has served for 12 years in the House, is accompanied by six other representatives: Susan Davis (D-Calif.), Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), Frank Kratovil (D-Md.), Glenn Nye (D-Va.), Ted Poe (R-Texas), and C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (D-Md).
Assad also briefed the delegation, which arrived Saturday evening, about Syria's vision of the situation in the Middle East, particularly following the latest Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.
Although U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell excluded Damascus from his regional tour, today's talks and a visit to the Syrian capital next month by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman, D-Calif., were clear signs of a thaw in relations.
Syria's ties with the U.S. were strained under former President George W. Bush, who frequently accused Damascus of allowing people and weapons across their border into Iraq to fight American troops.
However, with the beginning of the Obama administration, Assad has shown cautious optimism regarding U.S.-Syrian relations, telling Al-Manar television (which is operated by the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militant group) that a "serious" joint dialogue has already been initiated.
"We have positive indications, but we learned to be careful. As long as there are no tangible results, we have to assume that things have not changed," he said.
Damascus suspended its indirect talks with Israel to protest the Jewish state's three-week military operation in the Gaza Strip aimed at Hamas militants. The assault left about 1,300 Palestinians dead, half of them women and children (according to U.S. and Palestinian officials), and hundreds more wounded.
Neither side has ruled out a resumption of the talks, which focused on the future of the occupied Golan Heights.

Bicycle renters can cruise along 17-Mile Drive and the rocky shorelines of Pacific Grove, while surrey-carriage rentals provide a low-key communal pedaling adventure for up to four riders. Patrons can also enjoy the serene environment of Monterey Peninsula as they glide through the waters of Cannery Row and Stillwater Cove—both part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary—on the company's kayaks and standup paddleboards (SUP). During tours, knowledgeable guides rattle off facts about the area while pointing out its wildlife, such as harbor seals lounging on the rocks and otters snapping pictures of kayakers. Along with providing land and water activities, Adventures by the Sea helps guests build stronger relationships with one another through their local group adventures, which include scavenger hunts. When customers are ready to invest in their own trustworthy gear, the company's pro shop helps them stock up on boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, and paddleboards from brands such as Surftech, Naish Hawaii, and Paddle Surf Hawaii.299 Cannery RowMonterey, CA US

It's commonly believed that waking sleepwalkers will lead to them becoming angry and disoriented, but at the more ridiculous end of the scale, some believe it increases risk of a heart attack.

Read an Excerpt
Lydon's Exile
Contemporary Napa Valley, California
It was stay and die; flee and live. The choice hadn't been that hard to make.
Lydon gazed out across the lovely vineyards his younger half-brother now owned. The wine from those fields, the sprawling Grecian villa in which his sibling lived, the stables and everything within eyesight belonged to Delos, courtesy of their father, Zeus.
When Hera, Queen of all the gods, ordained that Delos and his new bride, Megaira were on the top of her shit list, Zeus had helped them and two others flee that legendary reality where the Olympian gods ruled and bickered. Hera hated anything to do with any of Zeus' by-blows which included him. Until Delos and Meg had angered her, however, Hera had hounded him more than all his other siblings combined. His most recent negative encounter with the woman was why he'd also left Olympus, never to return. Lydon hoped Delos would forgive the unannounced intrusion, but there was simply nothing for it. Zeus had opened a window into this reality at the last possible moment; it'd been his only chance to get out of Hera's way for good.
He rocked his body back and forth in the soft cotton hammock letting his mind absorb all the intricacies of this new reality. Zeus, in his infinite wisdom, had magically endowed his brain to accept Earth's customs, its languages and foibles. Of course, he'd seen most of the way humans lived by occasionally opening a view portal on this reality, but it was forbidden to enter without almighty Zeus' permission.
There were many realities into which he could have fled Hera's wrath. But this was the one where his favoured half-brother, Delos, had been sent. And it was a wonderful place as far as Lydon was concerned. Though he might no longer be a god and would live out the length of a normal human life and then die, he would have a home without the constant threat of Hera's minions chasing him down and committing some ignominious act on his person. Her rage against him was further exacerbated by what he'd done just two nights previous. Lydon tried not to smile too broadly, but his last stab at his odious stepmother had been a deep one indeed.
His rakish reprisal against her accomplished, he'd willingly come to this new reality to accept all the rules of humanity that'd been laid out for him. To augment his rather exorbitant tastes, he'd brought a bag of jewels Zeus had given him as a way of compensating his half-brother for the extra mouth to feed.
Though the jewels were worth more than any king's ransom, Lydon knew he'd have to find something to do with his time. Boredom would quickly set in if he had no occupation. He was no great hand at raising grapes, but he was an excellent judge of horseflesh. As Zeus had told him, Delos had also brought a fine stallion into this reality and would probably have set up a breeding program by now. And horses were his passion. There simply wasn't a more beautiful animal on any world than one of the equine species.
The warm wind blowing over his body reminded him that he'd left Olympus without any clothing to his name. Even now he wore not one stitch. After committing his last act of defiance against that fish-wife, Hera, he'd had to run fast, hard and often. There'd been no chance to gather any belongings when Zeus had found him and given him a chance at life in this new place. But being nude these days was nothing new to him. He'd spent many pleasant hours in one woman's bed or another, so much so that he'd rarely dressed at all these past few weeks. But, like so many things, that part of his life was over. He was tired of lying with one demi-goddess after another. Now that he was mortal, he needed to find himself a woman, settle down and beget children to carry his name into the future. In this respect, he hoped Delos would prove helpful. Surely his sibling or Meg might have a good female prospect in mind once they actually knew he was here and was in the market for a spouse. He sighed and considered the qualities he'd want in a woman.
She had to be beautiful, but there had to be substance behind the beauty. She had to have a magnificent sense of humour or she'd never have him. She had to love animals as he did. And she had to have a strong will to offset his. They'd argue horribly by daylight, then make up like passionate fiends at night. Knowing his tastes as Delos did, his little brother would eventually find him the right woman. Lydon was sure of this.
The sound of a wine bottle rolling across the patio tile caught Lydon's attention. He'd found the dry red vintage sitting on a marble-topped table last evening and had drunk the whole thing as a way of celebrating his freedom. Whoever it'd been meant for would have to procure another choice from the cellar. Whenever the household awoke, someone could bring several more bottles to continue toasting his presence. He'd actually arrived last evening, but hadn't made his way down from a nearby hillside. There'd been a torrid scene to keep him occupied as Del and his lovely Meg had made love in a hot tub at the other end of the patio garden. It would have been tactful if he'd made his presence known then, but the heat generated by the couple had him masturbating most of the evening and the night. It'd been much easier to just sneak down to the villa, get into the hammock and continue pleasuring himself and not interrupt the loving couple as they'd made their way from the hot tub and to their bed for the evening.
Del had the right idea. A romantic rendezvous in that tub was the way to end a long day. And though it'd been years since he'd seen Megaira, a vision of her exiting the hot tub had shown him plenty. She'd grown from an awkward little tom-boy into a beautiful, luscious beauty. When he had his own bride, they'd have to schedule turns between the two couples in that watery garden oasis. Or he might just have another one built so no schedules would be necessary.
Lydon grinned and slid his hands behind his head. Let the breeze blow, let the bottle roll off the porch, and let the household sleep until the sun was well up. He had not a care in the world as his plans were now firmly established. As he had last evening, he closed his eyes and felt the soft breeze caress his skin as a lover's kiss might. His left hand slid once again to his penis and he began to stroke himself slowly and tenderly. Masturbating was a good way to pass the time.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1998
Running Time: 87
Director: Peter Wolf
Company: West Coast Productions
Cast: Toni TEST, Rob (I), Marika, Jake Steed, India (I), Venus (I), Temptress, Crystal (I), Steve Taylor, Sam Spade
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
The box cover makes the most of the luscious talent featured on the tape, and retailers, using this vid to shore up the ol\' wall-to-wall section, should do the same.
The opening Jake Steed/Temptress multi-positional rib-bumping round is pretty dams hot, due in no small measure to the considerable chemistry at work between the two. After that, however, things drop off a bit, and although the girls are all gorgeous and their work here is covered admirably, this eleventh installment is the Fresh Hot Babes saga misses that little something extra, that dash of down-and-dirty or jot of extra passion, that turns solid porn into really good porn into eye-blistering smut.
But again, the coitus to be found here, a little lazy though it may be, is well-shot, and the talent is ultra easy on the eyes, and comes in a mouth-watering cross-section of skin hues, from Toni's So-Cal beach girl bronze, to Crystal's redbone russet, to India's deep-down brown.

An analysis of the effects of these error components on the navigation line-width determination and obstacle-range determination is presented that provided equations that are used to predict the error resulting from changes in various system parameters. In particular, the change in the rotation angle of the robot sensor about its optical axis, called the roll angle, is examined. Numerical examples showing the characteristics of the derived error equations are also given.<>

I'm planning on adding a plywood floor to part of my attic. I have some old carpet that I'm thinking about laying on top of the plywood. Is this a bad idea?
It's not too unusual. The carpet will collect some dust and possibly insulation, and might have problems if it ever gets wet from a roof leak. On the plus side, the carpet will act as a little insulation and is quieter and cooler in the summer to walk on.

Andrew PerloffA lot of mentions about what happened in my city Philadelphia in 1776 at #DNCinPHL. Not a lot about 1982-83. Don't forget Mose Malone!8 hours ago

In my application (asp.net) I have an image control which by default has an empty source. When a user clicks on a thumbnail, the clicked image is opened in that image control. The thing is that the images that can be viewed is uploaded by the user, and by that reason I can't set a default image (because it's not for sure that an image exists when the page is loaded).
The problem is that because the image src is empty when loading the page, a broken image link is displayed. When a thumbnail is clicked everything works fine.
One solution of this that I came up with is using jQuery to check if the image has an empty src, and if so hide it.
Below is the code that i've written for that, but by some reason nothing happens. What can be wrong (the code is loaded when a GET is done by the page)?
if ($("#fullSizeImage").attr(src="") == true) {
else {

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionOccurs north of the Amazon throughout the Guianas, southern and central Venezuela and northern Brazil. Limited to the south by the Amazon River, and to the west by the Rio Negro in Brazil and Orinoco in Venezuela. It extends north as far as the west bank of Lago Guri in Venezuela, north of the confluence of the Ríos Paragua and Caroni, its distribution here being limited by the increasing impact of drier vegetation (Hershkovitz 1985), and its eastern boundary in Venezuela appears to be the left bank of the Caroní. It is largely absent from western Guyana, occurring to the east of the Rio Essequibo. In Suriname, it is absent from the coastal plain, while in French Guiana it is only found in the extreme south (approximately 200 km inland). In eastern Brazil, it occurs throughout the State of Amapá and is possibly only absent from wetter regions along the coast.
Although Cacajao and Chiropotes are mutually exclusive, mixed groups of Cacajao hosomi and Chiropotes chiropotes in the region of the Pico da Neblina (Boubli 2002).
