"We think this decision to settle is clearly in the city's best interests," Chodkowski said. "I would refer any comment on their position to

It also states the settlement is "not an admission of liability; rather the City expressly denies liability and affirms that it is settling solely to avoid incurring additional costs in defending the pending claim."
Legal expenses have been covered as part of the city's insurance coverage, Chodkowski said.

That's when Call said he was illegally detained and briefly had his gun confiscated. Call filed a lawsuit against the city of
"Had he been truthful with the police and simply provided his identification so that they could have quickly ran it, that encounter would have been over very quickly, within a minute or two," Reiss said last year.
Call does have a conceal and carry license (CCW), but Reiss said Call did not immediately provide police with his CCW, driver's license or admit that he drove to the gas station.
Police reports show a citizen at the Speedway was concerned that a man had a gun in the open and told
The lawsuit recounted that "After Call complied with Jones' request, which was made with no probable cause, or a warrant, and without legal authorization, Sgt. Jones questioned Call, 'Why are you wearing an open gun?' Jones continued to question Call even though Call asked, 'Am I free to go?' to which Jones told him no."
Call was charged with obstruction of justice, but it was dropped a couple months later, Chodkowski previously said.
Jones' incident report said Call would not answer questions relating to his identity.
Call had his gun taken from him, was handcuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser while Jones and

Georgia is losing one of its hidden treasures.
Last week, I attended a Georgia Public Policy Foundation lunch featuring Arthur Brooks, president of American Enterprise Institute. Arthur and I met a few years ago in Atlanta after he gave a speech based on his 2006 book, "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism."
It was a training session offered by a statewide governmental association to teach local elected officials how to be better public speakers. As the story was told to me, the instructor began with this advice: "Arrive early for a speech in order to check out the venue, the lighting, the microphone and sound system and, if needed, the laptop for a Power Point presentation. Bring your computer disc or thumb drive and make sure everything works."

It's 2011, and we're being rocked by earthquakes, tornados, financial crises and bloody revolutions in the third world. If there were ever a time to completely lose all of your senses and run around town acting nuts, now is as good a time as any. Just in the past two days, I've seen signs that "crazy" is becoming the new norm. While driving down one of our major roads, I passed a man who was waving his arms and screaming at some invisible antagonist. Later, I walked out of a building and saw another man having an ...

I've had enough shocks and scares to script an entire lifetime's worth of nightmares. Once, while walking in the woods, I stumbled upon a coiled snake, just staring at me and daring me to come closer. Another time, I slipped off a log and fell into a creek on an icy February afternoon. Then, there was that one Easter night when a drunk driver slammed into the family Ford Galaxy, right as we were turning into our driveway. Stepping on rattlesnakes, falling in a freezing creek, and being rammed by another car are themes worthy of the worst ...

Does anyone know how to jump forward like your kind of flying like superman(hands are raised and body is slightly tilted) instead of flipping forward, i done it once or twice by accident but i cant find out how to do it. Thanks
you have to tap forward and jump VERY fast. it is rather hard to do. you can also fly on your side by tapping one of the strafe keys and jump fast. good luck!
Just hit the jump while you are running forward and let off the "w" as you hold down jump and you will fly...

EDIT: I found that the issue is actually that IE changes an HTML elements class text from:
"<img class="blah".." to "<img class=blah..".
This is only happening in IE for me. Note it doesn't remove the src quotation marks or the id quotation marks or others. This is sooo frustrating!
I am using JQuery to update a website visually, Inside my main div(updatableDiv) I change each updatable HTML element(for eg an p, i, b, etc.) into a textarea. The user makes their textual changes then I change the textareas back to a p, b etc. This is all done using JQuery.
My Problem: When I go to get the HTML from the div(with the id updatableDiv), my HTML is slightly different which results in the display of the HTML being slightly different. For example: if I have an image thats sits directly above a white box(not vertical gap in between), after I update the html, there is a vertical gap introduced in between the image & the white box.
So the before html was(this is an example from IE):

After getting the HTML using the call $("#updatableDiv").html() the html looks like this:

So it results in a vertical gap.
So my main question is how can I keep all the formatting of the HTML so problems like this dont occur after I update the HTML & get the HTML from the element by JQuery's $("#updatableDiv").html()?

Finding parking on campus varies in the time of day. The times I have had to go the campus, I had a hard time finding parking near my destination.
Sometimes it is packed, other times the lot is relatively empty.
There are NEVER any close parking spaces.
free parking for students but it is difficult to get a guest pass
There is always parking at regis which makes it convenient for walking to and from class.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
It is very difficult to park on campus if you don't get there before 9 a.m. on weekdays. So, if you live off campus, get there early, and if you live on campus, don't leave during the day or else it will be just as difficult to get your spot back. After about 3 p.m., the parking lots open up a bit, and it's a little easier to find a spot. A great deal at Regis is the public bus pass the University provides, which is helpful for getting downtown, especially on St. Patrick's Day for the downtown parade.
The newer parking lot on campus always has spots available, but the downside is that it is about an eight-minute walk to classes. The bus pass is an excellent way to get anywhere around Denver, but the most popular destination is downtown. The Denver public buses are safe and free for Regis students, so take advantage of this!

Released: Jun 01st, 2004
Running Time: 74

Company: Pure Filth Productions
Distribution Companies: Legend
Cast: Brandi Lyons, Tara Wild, Juan Cuba, Frank Towers, Rod Fontana, Nikki Knox, Taylor Kross, Keiko, Dwayne Cumminz, Vandalia, Britney Madison, Rob Longshot, Gen Padova
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Those more interested in watching their favorite stars rim and less interested in passion will likely enjoy this
Apparently, part of the appeal to this series isn't simply the fact that pretty girls are eating the assholes of men, but that none of them do it when they're off camera. Imagine how much hotter this would be with real practitioners?
In the meantime, we have seven scenes of young women mostly giving ass licking the old college try and sometimes even enjoying themselves a little bit. The guys certainly look happy, although there appears to be only a couple positions optimal for having one's ass munched. Special points go to Rod Fontana for being especially amusing, Gen Padova for spitting on his ass and cheerfully going about her work after being called a "political dog," and Taylor Kross for being assertive and aggressive. Keiko, on the other hand, tongues Dwayne Cumminz much like fake lesbians tongue one another's pussies.
The DVD contains interesting behind the scenes comments and insights.

The 32-year-old, who has featured in every minute of the Reds' 34 Premier League matches so far, has been playing through the problem this season.
"It's looking more and more likely that he might require surgery," Marsh told Liverpoolfc.com. "He has been playing with a shoulder injury for quite a while now. We'll try to find the right time for him to get it fixed properly."
He added: "It's not ideal timing, it's going to take quite a while for him to heal. It's a funny injury - it's pretty similar to Joe Allen (who has already had surgery which has ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign).
"If it needs repairing, it needs repairing and when he's back fit, he's back fit. There's not much we can do about it."
If, as expected, he undergoes an operation, Gerrard is likely to miss internationals against the Republic of Ireland at Wembley on May 29 and Brazil in Rio de Janeiro on June 2.

Abu Isa al-Warraq
|Abu Isa al-Warraq
|Muhammad ibn Harun al-Warraq
modern-day Iraq
|9th century AD
|Known for
Abu 'Isa al-Warraq, full name Abu 'Isa Muhammad ibn Harun al-Warraq (Arabic: أبو عيسى محمد ابن هارون الوراق Abū ʿĪsā Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Warrāq), was a 9th-century Arab skeptic scholar and critic of Islam and religion in general. He was a mentor and friend of scholar Ibn al-Rawandi in whose work The Book of the Emerald he appears.[1]:224 The modern scholar of the Qur'an and critic of Islam, Ibn Warraq, derives his pseudonymous name from al-Warraq.[2]
Views of revealed religions[edit]
Al-Warraq was skeptical of the existence of God because "He who orders his slave to do things that he knows him to be incapable of doing, then punishes him, is a fool".[3]:43
Al-Warraq challenged the notion of revealed religion. He argued that if humans are capable of figuring out that, for instance, it is good to be forgiving, then a prophet is unnecessary, and that we should not heed the claims of self-appointed prophets, if what is claimed is found to be contrary to good sense and reason. Al-Warraq admired the intellect not for its capacity to submit to a god, but rather for its inquisitiveness towards the wonders of science. He explained that people developed the science of astronomy by gazing at the sky, and that no prophet was necessary to show them how to gaze; he also said that no prophets were needed to show them how to make flutes, either, or how to play them.[1]
Views of Islam[edit]
Al-Warraq also doubted claims portraying Muhammad as a prophet:[1]
That Muhammad could predict certain events does not prove that he was a prophet: he may have been able to guess successfully, but this does not mean that he had real knowledge of the future. And certainly the fact that he was able to recount events from the past does not prove that he was a prophet, because he could have read about those events in the Bible and, if he was illiterate, he could still have had the Bible read to him.[1]

Can anyone help me with this strange error message that occurs at the bottom of my blogg?
Undeclared entity warning at line 247, column 1
Don't know how to fix it.
The url is http://www.jimiknightley.com
I've got this as well - sorry Jimi, this isn't a fix - can anyone shed any light?
Having the same issue here,
jimiknightley, did you find a solution? Ican't see the error on your site now?
Seems related to the plugin "Twitter for WordPress" which, after installing the error was introduced for me?
Same issue, different line number
Undeclared entity warning at line 227, column 1
Changing "How many Twitter widgets would you like?" to 2 for displaying two twitter accounts shows the error twice.
A Google search shows some other users have the problem with the Twitter for WordPress Widget.
If it's a plugin issue contact the author..
Or post a link to the plugin here and i'll take a look ...
Thanks T31os
Twitter for WordPress
I found the authors address in the readme.txt and will contact him.
jimiknightley solved the problem by using a different widget.
I can't seem to replicate the problem..
Where does this message appear for you?
I've added 2 widgets, placed them in my left sidebar, both work as i'd expect...
Line 227 is..
function widget_twitter_page() {
Which doesn't make sense if that's what the error relates to..
The widget appeared to work except for the error message. The error message is the last text on the screen. I'm using the WordPress default theme with the sidebar on the right.
Los Lunas Networks Test Blog is proudly powered by WordPress
Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS).
Undeclared entity warning at line 227, column 1
What file should I look at to see what is on line 227?
I'd say (at a guess) it's a theme file, normally error messages have the filename in the error message...
Strange that one doesn't ... :-s
I deactivated Twitter Widget Pro (works fine) and activated Twitter for WordPress and the error message returned.
I changed the theme from WordPress Default to WordPress Classic and still got "Undeclared entity warning at line 227, column 1".
The only additional clue that I can provide is that the page displays and there is a delay before the error message displays. The error seems to occur late in the process of serving a page.
I'm happy with Twitter Widget Pro and happy to move forward. I still hope to hear from the Twitter for WordPress widget author and will do more tests, if anyone has an idea of what to try. At this point, it looks like use the widget then get the error message.
FYI,I'm using WordPress 2.7.1. I don't know what version produced a line 247 error or no error. I can try other themes if there is a reason to believe the problem is theme related.
Did you enable debugging in the config file?...
It could just be the level of error reporting.
>Did you enable debugging in the config file?...
No, but I did some some googling and tried debugging. I got more error messages and looked at the twitter widget code. I don't know PHP and only read a little widget code.
I'm guessing that is my process of installing/uninstalling/re-installing multiple instances of the twitter widget, something got saved wrong or did not get cleared out in a config file. It is a big guess, but maybe the plugin code is looking for too many twitter user names. The code is trying to get/set options/defaults for a $username that is undefined because less widgets are actually installed.
line 158 - undefined $username
$messages = fetch_rss('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$username.'.rss');
Lines 227 Undeclared entity warning and Line 228
function widget_twitter_page() {
$options = $newoptions = get_option('widget_twitter');
You need to enter a twitter account/username when creating a widget, i assume you did this...
I've tried with one widget and with two. The account/username are correct and the tweets display on the sidebar. There is one instance of error message for ever instance of widget. The widget appears to work, but puts error message(s) at the bottom of the page. Remove the widget and the error messages go away. Reinstall/reactivate and the error messages return.
The problem apparently doesn't happen to everyone, but does happen to several people. I haven't heard from the message I sent to the author. A different widget http://xavisys.com/2008/04/wordpress-twitter-widget/ works without an error message.
It's strange because even with debugging on i get no such error...
Did you have any problematic plugins or widgets installed previously?
I know i've seen such errors when having problems with bad widgets.

There is a "$REYCLE.BIN" folder in my external hard drive; can I delete it?
What do I need to do?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 23 '11 at 10:29
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Personally I would not delete it, I would just disable it for that drive. It won't hurt to have on empty hidden folder on your drive.
Right click on Recycle Bin>Properties and highlight the drive. Then change the "Settings for selected location" to "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted."
When you delete file from your external hard drive, it's been gone to some hidden place in your external hard drives. $REYCLE.BIN folder in this circumstances may be the folder contains those files or links to those files. If you can see some files in this folder, I suggest do not delete it. Delete it may be a harmless action, but we don't need to do that, right?
Thank you for your interest in this question.

On the Margins of the World
The Refugee Experience Today
Michel Agier
Polity, $49.95,152 pp.
Michel Agier, director of research at the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), recognizes that for most readers, "alarm calls" about the needs of the marginalized result only in mental and emotional paralysis. In this slender anthropological study, he seeks to reduce the distance between his readers and the world of refugees, making that world comprehensible, not simply pitiable or repellent.
Agier writes thoughtfully and passionately about the plight of his subjects, though fairly dense academic language pervades even his most accessible passages. The book is strongest in its mid-section, "The Desert, The Camp, The City," where it analyzes the peculiar modern limbo of the refugee camp. The aid agencies who manage refugee camps try to operate by universal humanitarian principles that transcend politics. Agier shows how in practice these universal principles can become a lowest common denominator, creating a space whose inhabitants are stripped of political significance and seen solely in terms of their needs—a world of victims, not of citizens, "in which conversation and freedom are disturbing and troublesome." This quarantined, disempowering environment is justified by a fiction of provisionality. In reality, many camps are provisional only for the expatriate workers who are stationed there for six months or a year; the residents remain for decades.
The result can be a...

I am a designer / coder working to create areas of interaction between website owners and their visitors, be it technical, in the universe of content or as human relations. My mantra might be "What do you want your site(s!) to do for you today?" signifying the idea that an ideal site is focused in a way that makes it clear why you made it. This offers the visitor an opportunity to enhance his or her life, or leave. Maybe to another site of yours?
My task is to make the site become real - drawing, coding, consulting, measuring, redesigning, redraw, recode and so on. A website is a dynamic entity, and I'll harness its power.

He is personable, thorough, and professional. I feel confident that my medical needs are being well taken care of.
Office visit went like clockwork. The upcoming procedure was clearly explained and the staff was friendly and very professional.
He was a very good doctor and explained things very well to me. I am a very private person so he was considerate of that and very calming.
Very attentive to patients needs.
He was knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and concerned. He walked through everything and was easy to get an appointment with. I highly recommend him.

He did take the time with me to explore other options and tell me what he thought after thoroughly looking at my files I had sent over, and I appreciate that.
Very efficient. No nonsense.
He is proactive and knowledgable.
Super efficient doctor's appt. As soon as I filled out the new patient forms, I was called- didn't have to wait at all. Dr. Palma discussed what my stomach issues could possibly be, answered any questions I had, and referred me to an allergist. Already have a follow-up appt scheduled for after I see the allergist to discuss next steps after test results came back so we could begin to rule things out.
Very understanding. Seems interested in finding a solution to my problem. Didn't rush through my appointment.
Very professional with a caring and understanding side. Listened to my questions, discussed options and said that he would touch base with my other doctor who recommended this procedure. I can see why his office is very busy!
He is a good Doctor. HIs Staff are very professional
Great doctor
It was quick and thorough

Now, with only the ramins of his dream to hold on to, he persuades his old tapping mates to form their own dance troupe, much to the embarrassment of his steel-working father. A smart blend of comedy, great dancing and natural energy, Bootmen is "a real pulse-raiser" (National News Syndicate) with a "rousing feel-good climax" (Daily Variety).|Amazon.com~Dein Perry's Tap Dogs is a different kind of tap-dance show, emphasizing rugged masculinity, driving rock music, and a set rooted in the Australian steel industry. Now Perry tells his own story in the 2000 autobiographical drama Bootmen. Anyone who saw the summer 2001 blockbuster Pearl Harbor will find a familiar plot: A reckless hotshot tests the patience of his mentor, but his undeniable talent lands him a rare work opportunity. He leaves behind his friends and his girl, and when he returns unexpectedly, he finds that his girl has taken up with his best friend. In this case, the hotshot is hoofer Sean (Adam Garcia, who cofounded the original Tap Dogs troupe and played the lead in the stage version of Saturday Night Fever), and the best friend is his brother, Mitchell (Sam Worthington), who had a one-night stand with his girl (Sophie Lee). Along the way, Sean decides to create his own dance troupe and put on a benefit show, which allows for elements of The Full Monty and Brassed Off (depressed industrial town needs a lift) and October Sky and Billy Elliot (father doesn't approve). OK, so the plot isn't any great shakes, but the dancing is terrific--flashy, hard-edged, and gritty, using steelworks machinery as props. If you're a fan of Tap Dogs, you'll enjoy this backstage look at the troupe, but if you're here just for the dancing, you might prefer to start with the original full-length show. --David Horiuchi|

Hi, My nurse has suggested that I should start giving meal to my baby. My baby is almost 9 months old and has no teeth yet. Do you experienced ladies think i should offer him finger food like banana, potatoes etc. I am scared of choking and getting bits stuck in his mouth.
Finger food or not for tootless baby?
Comments (7)
My ODD had no teeth until 14 months and she was definitely eating table food long before that. Babies often use their gums for chewing.
Just start with small pieces of soft foods and let your Lo get used to eating.
The earth is made from stardust. Our bodies are made from the earth. We are the earth come to life. -S. Schimmel
wyngirl'smom thanks for the reply. Any suggestions for finger food may be?
Thanks for ideas smithsn11.
We did baby-led weaning so LO has had nothing BUT finger foods from 6 months on. He didn't get teeth until 8 1/2 months.
YES YES YES. Babies use their gums to chew because they know no different.
Try- toast, bread, yogurt, bananas, melon, rice, peas, potatoes, crackers, puffs, little pieces of chicken or ground beef. At 9 months your LO can eat most everything you eat. At dinner give him food off of your plate. Have fun. Your LO is gonna love it!!!

Skip to comments.Ron Paul Opposes In God We Trust Resolution
Posted on 01/03/2012 4:52:32 PM PST by mnehring
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a Republican candidate for president, told The Hill Thursday that he opposes the Republican resolution that would reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the countrys motto.
The resolution passed the House easily Wednesday, with only nine "no" votes. Paul was absent for the vote. But he said the bill was superfluous.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
Yup, just as superfluous as his silly presidential candidacy.
I actually agree with RP on this one, its a stupid stunt.
Many RP fans hate religion with a passion. Check any libertarian sites.
Good! Finally the congress is doing something meaningful.
Isn't that funny? So many christian fundamentalists support him. My daughter's in-laws live and breath Ron Paul. I've had to talk her off the ledge a couple of times.
You think that given $15T in debt, $1.5T in deficits, huge structural problems with medicare, medicaid, and social security..... that THIS is the most meaningful thing Congress could do?
I'm waiting for congress to take up the discussion on whether we should be allowed to use 2ply or single sheet toilet paper.
Yes, but imagine the expense, printing and distributing 250,000 copies.
What's next, Ike printing a communication extolling a Great Crusade.
We have to get into the Ron Paul mindset.
Or not, my choice.
Or what kind of light bulbs we should be using. Oh... wait....
Don't flush that toilet 4 times.
The sad thing is that, per the Fox News entrance polling, Paul is first choice for Iowa Tea Party members. People need to know everything about this whack job.
Santorum comes in 2nd; I can live with him.
Your examples are very compelling... and totally irrelevant to this discussion. These were examples of fervent prayers from believers in the face of a specific calamity. The "In God We Trust" vote was nothing similar. It wasn't a prayer to a merciful God to intercede on behalf of a grateful nation. It was politicians trying to score political points.
Hard to believe this a-hole could stand a chance of winning in Iowa.
And anyone can say they are a TEA Party member.....
I heard an ABC radio news reporter saying that 30% were going for Paul in Iowa because they were looking for "a true conservative"!
Why is Congress spending time on this sort of nonsense? It's part of our descent to banana republic status, I suppose.
If you weren't a guy, I would kiss you for that post.
Patton ordered the Third Army chaplain, Colonel James O'Neill, to compose a suitable prayer: "Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen."
I am kind of partial to unapologetically martial prayer.
Paul is a kook but he's right it's a waste of time for Congress to be voting on mottos.
CUT SPENDING should be the motto. ;p
thanks !

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- There was discussion in the Buffalo Bills' media workroom Friday about whether the Pro Football Hall of Fame should remove Lawrence Taylor if the distressing charges against him prove true.
Buffalo News reporter Mark Gaughan, a member of the Hall of Fame's board of selectors, explained that can't happen. Once a player has been inducted -- even if it's O.J. Simpson -- he's in for good.
The NFL doesn't have a history of stripping players of their honors. But in this age of performance-enhancing substances, what if a player earned an award while on steroids?
Last year's defensive rookie of the year, Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, has been suspended the first four games of the upcoming season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Cushing was voted the top defensive rookie ahead of Bills safety Jairus Byrd, who was named to the Pro Bowl and tied for the league lead with nine interceptions despite playing most of the season with a sports hernia before bowing out the last two games to have surgery.
While we don't know if Cushing violated the policy during the 2009 season or after, it's hard to imagine anybody voting him rookie of the year if they were aware of the transgression.
He entered the league amid suspicions he was juicing, but without a positive test, everybody had to assume his performances were legitimate.
I didn't have a vote, but I agreed Cushing deserved the award ahead of Byrd.
It's possible Cushing broke the rules after he won the award. The NFL tests playoff teams as long as they keep playing, but the Texans didn't qualify. It also conducts offseason drug tests, but Cushing's suspension was handed down in February (the appeal was denied Friday), creating a small window for the violation to have taken place after the 2009 regular season.
As for Byrd, I spoke with him momentarily in the Bills' field house Friday. He looked like he was in good shape. Byrd watched the morning rookie camp session -- head coach Chan Gailey's first practice -- from the sidelines with cornerback Terrence McGee and linebacker Nic Harris. Byrd then went through a running workout inside the field house.

Perlane Overview
UPDATE: In July 2015, Perlane was rebranded as Restylane Lyft and FDA approved to correct both smile lines and loss of volume in the cheeks. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.
- Perlane injections can fill deep facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, sunken cheeks, and augment the shape of the chin and cheeks.
- The effects of dermal fillers like Perlane are not permanent.
- Perlane is related to the popular hyaluronic acid filler Restylane.
- The hyaluronic acid gel particles in Perlane are larger than those found in Restylane. This gives Perlane additional ability to lift and fill the areas of injection that require a denser formulation.

From Sober Recovery:
If you really want a rough estimate that sort of gives a decent answer to the question, you can always say "about 5% stay sober." This is not far from the truth. In all actuality, you can see a sort of drop off rate as people try to stay sober for longer and longer. In other words, if 100 people try to get sober, about 5% of them will make it to 90 days sober.
Now take all of the people who made it to 90 days sober. About 5% of THOSE people will make it to 2 years sober. About 5% of THOSE people will make it to 4 years sober.
10% have issues, only 13% get treated.
Town of 1,000,000
100,000 folks with drinking issues.
13% get help, or 13,000 people
5% sober after 90 days, or 650 people
5% sober after two years, or 32 people
5% sober after four years, or 1.6 people
Holy shit. Two people out of 100,000 folks with drinking issues will remain sober after four years.

How often are you faced with what seems to be a complex technical problem and a free software download solves that problem in *minutes*? Not often for me. Usually I end up downloading a couple of different programs that a. don't work, b. have complicated interfaces and/or c. want money for the "full version" that may (or may not) work. Subtitle adjuster is amazing. On first use it literally took a couple minutes to output perfectly synched subs. Many thanks to the coders!
Great program. Does exactly what it says. Very easy to use. I am a novice at this stuff, and was able to easily sync subtitles to shows in a TV series (individually). Also was able to combine two srt files and sync the combined file to a two-part show that was downloaded as one file. I had a little operator problem doing this, and got almost instant, clear, and correct help.
This is just what I have been looking for! I have loads of subtitles that slowly drift out of sync, so the dual reference points adjustment is excellent for my situation. The user interface is very intuitive for the most part; just the "Preview Output" button could maybe use a tooltip. The application happily displays and processes UTF-8 encoded subtitle files with CJK characters. The about box/screenshots imply there is some way to preview the video, which I could not find yet, but picking the time indices for the first and the last spoken line from Avidemux and then entering them for the respective subtitles in Subtitle Adjuster works quite well. Two minor improvements to the ease of use could be: - Show something about the selected filenames in the title bar - e.g. "Subtitle Adjuster - %s" with %s being the filename of the first subtitle file, possible followed by ", ..." if there are more. - Add a button next to the two subtitle ID input boxes to automatically insert the ID from the currently selected row in the subtitle table. The only feature that I'm really kind of missing is for the program to recognize some common deviation pattern. e.g. subtitles for series often come in complete seasons, and if there is some drifting out of sync, it is reasonable to assume that the same factor applies to all episodes of the whole season. So, if the program could somehow recognize a common deviation pattern after 5 episodes, it could attempt to adjust the subtitles for the remaining 15 episodes of the season automatically. (I would have logged these as feature requests, but there doesn't seem to be a respective publicly writeable tracker available for the project.) Thanks for this excellent application! I have not tried the support, so I have not entered any rating for that.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- When the final out was recorded in Pool D of the World Baseball Classic, and all the players from Puerto Rico had slapped hands with one another in celebration after a 5-0 win against the Netherlands, the final tally of an extraordinary week could be counted: one impressive WBC contender, one miraculous performance and one stunning defeat of a prohibitive favorite.
Perhaps more than any other bracket, Pool D best represented the aim of the World Baseball Classic, to produce a growing parity in the sport around the world and perhaps jump-start the resurgence of a once-powerful baseball-playing country.
In Puerto Rico, the WBC has a complete team capable of making a long run in the tournament and perhaps, with such a run, baseball can prosper once again on this island. In 1998, five Puerto Rican players represented the American League in the All-Star Game. Just 10 years later, there was only one Puerto Rican (Geovany Soto) on either team.
Most importantly, the crowds here were lively, and games the home Puerto Rican team participated in sold out. Baseball could do worse than to have more than just one round in Latin America.
"I think this is a great event for Puerto Rico," Puerto Rico first baseman Carlos Delgado said. "For the last few years, we haven't produced as many players as some of the other Latin countries. As a Puerto Rican, we don't like that. We'd like to see our sport continue to grow."
The Puerto Ricans' postgame on-the-field celebration was tame. No one toppled anyone else. No one dumped water on a teammate. No one ran onto the field as if it were the final game of the World Series. This Puerto Rican team expects a long, glorious run in this tournament.
Puerto Rico's pitching staff, considered the team's weak spot, allowed just one run in three games, though for clarity's sake, all three games were against perhaps the weakest offensive teams in the tournament: Panama and the Netherlands.
"The talk about our team was about batting, batting, batting," Delgado said, "but pitching is what carried us."
Puerto Rico has the daunting task of playing Team USA on Saturday, which should provide a stern test. One could argue that, by avoiding the Dominican, Puerto Rico has yet to be truly tested.
And what to make of the Netherlands? Two stunning wins over the Dominican Republic sends the Dutch into the second round, and perhaps starts a new love affair with baseball in Europe, Curacao and Aruba. But what will happen when the team starts the next round?
"Nothing was easy," Netherlands first baseman Randall Simon said. "The thing is that when you play, you can play good ball and you can beat any team. That is what we did in this tournament. We did the small things to win the game."
The Dutch won with pitching. Their 2.50 team ERA tied with Cuba for fourth in the WBC, and that perhaps gives them a puncher's chance in the next round. Their .151 batting average, though, makes it likely they won't surprise anyone again. The Netherlands has scored just six runs in the entire tournament, and four of those runs were unearned. A fifth run might not have been scored in the game Monday against Puerto Rico had anyone but 40-year-old Bernie Williams been playing left field.
"I'll tell you, things are going to get a little more difficult because the next team that they play, they may have a regular first baseman and a regular third baseman," Dominican manager Felipe Alou said about the Netherlands on Tuesday night. "I sat with them at the Hotel San Juan to have a glass of wine with them, and they said, 'Felipe, we're playing ball, the baseball we've always played without pressure. Because if we lose, everybody expects us to lose.'"
The Netherlands next faces Venezuela, the Pool C winner. Sidney Ponson, who was the Game 1 winner against the Dominican, will start Saturday against Venezuela.
"After the wars we've been through," Netherlands manager Rod Delmonico said, "I don't think I'll worry about who we tee it up against. We need a day to travel and kind of get our legs under us and mentally and physically get healthy. We'll have a good practice on Friday, try to work out some things we didn't do very well [on Wednesday] and then get ready for Saturday."

Well, things have been tied to a project here on this real estate for awhile. Now, things have quieted down with that work so I decided to just put back WordPress 2.3 here and bask in its glory. I'm running the Cutline theme.
A lot has been going on at work. Joyfully, I got a year extension which means they're stuck with me for another 12 months or so :). That's a good thing for everyone and the family unit here really likes it. No one likes it more than me though. This job triggers a thing in me. Its like the right thing, right time. I don't quite understand why I had to make so many payment to the wrong things to find this. Its not around Linux and open source too much; but I do get to talk Linux with our data center back in the mid-west on occasion. We use a lot of Linux boxen to manage things.
So, this blog has been only updated when I felt like it and I lost my wordpress.com domain because I tired of it. Seems these things have some kind of "half life" and I feel the urge to move. I still have not moved this here server from Debian Etch though and that's a good thing. I don't have a lot of time to play with Linux this or that these days though. Work requires this other OS. Truth be told, I like the mix and combinations the way they are now. So sue me. Call me less than fanatical. Never was fanatical expect when it came to the best of operating systems:
 OS/2 Baby!
Then I was. I did bad things to Windows 95 boxes at a CompUSA one time. Sabotage to its delicate files. Shame.
Those days thankfully ended and now computers and OS'es are mere tools that make me productive or slow me down. Hint: if they slow me down, I ain't got much in the way of patience.
So here I left and now I write. I write and will write whether its here or somewhere else. I got the craze and have had it. If you want to know the ultimate truth and reality; hang on. There ain't none. If you expect a dose of penultimate open source bigotry, look elsewhere. I went beyond that at the last clueless job I had. Back at _that_ startup that did that. Now I don't do startups. Or spindowns. Its me, the work, the play. The pay.
See ya! Remember blogging is good for you even if you don't match up with the grand citizens that can take you to new political, social, and ideological realities. Write because its right. Or because its wrong.

Previous to 2.0, I could publish posts with a future date in a new category. Because there were no "current" dated posts, the category would not show up until the first future post was actually published.
Now in 2.0, a new category containing only future posts shows up in the category list. Clicking on it, of course, yields "no results", but it confuses users who see this is as some sort of error.
Has this been identified and submitted for a future fix? Or is there some kind of workaround special to 2.0? Thanks!

This is such a great iced tea recipe, StarShine Chef. I used Lipton's cold brew tea bags (a basic black tea labelled for brewing in cold water and great for making iced tea), and it was delightful. I used only about 1/3 cup of sugar, but that?s only because the raspberry lemonade used for making this iced tea recipe was pre-sweetened (it was the only pre-made raspberry lemonade I could find). We all enjoyed it this iced tea immensely, and it was especially a treat considering we?re having unseasonably hot weather here in the PNW this week. It was quite tasty and cooled us off. Made for the Spring 2014 Pick-A-Chef event.
Throughout the warm months & well into the colder ones we usually have a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge, & I do enjoy making it as many different ways as I can! Love this tea of yours ~ flavor, ease-of-making, the whole thing ~ & the recipe has now found a permanent place in my kitchen cabinet! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook recipe tag]
This tea has great flavor! I skipped the sugar as a personal choice and enjoyed it nice and cold! Thanks for sharing your recipe :) Made for PAC Fall 09
Very nice tea. I'm not a fan of lemon in my tea, but this was just right.

SOURCE: "The Meaning of Berkeley," in George Berkeley: A Study of his Life and Philosophy, Russell & Russell, 1962, pp. 480-502.
In the following essay, which was written in 1936, Wild provides a survey of Berkeley's career and an overview of his philosophical development.
Berkeley completed the Siris, his last and definitive philosophical work, in 1744. His health, already failing, was further impaired by the exhausting study and meditation which had been necessary for its composition. He himself declared, according to his first biographer Stock, "that this work cost him more time and pains than any other he had ever been engaged in." He was able, however, to carry on his episcopal duties with unabated zeal, and several more or less occasional writings of this period have survived.
Among these is a "Letter to the Roman Catholics of The Diocese of...

ACTIVISM! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT. Make a donation to help.
Founded in December 2007, Once Fallen has been the leading reference & resource site for Registered Citizens (i.e., those convicted of registrable sex
offenses) and provide useful information to those seeking to reform or abolish the myriad of excessive sex offender laws, from the public registry to
residency restrictions and beyond. Once Fallen answers hundreds of phone calls and letters, visits with legislators, assists registrants in connecting to
available resources and support networks, and provides analysis research on sex offender laws free of charge.
This independent resource is not funded by any other organizations or grants so donations are always needed.
If you wish to keep this valuable resource online, then please send a donation to Once Fallen today. Once Fallen must answer this
lawsuit, no matter how frivolous, MUST be challenged. Therefore, your donations are needed to help keep this resource from being
shut down by the thuggish vigilante group Parents For Megan's Law (aka "Crime Victims Center, Inc.), a vigilante group based in
Ronkonkoma, NY. PFML is responsible for harassment campaigns against registered citizens under the guise of performing
address verifications of Suffolk County's registered citizens. I won't let these terrorists win.

The purpose of Once is providing an honest education on the truth about sex offender laws and issues, and offering some support services and guidance
to those seeking to reform America's sex offender laws. Once Fallen is not a legal referral service, nor can we provide legal advice on sex crime
defense or appealing convictions, and any advice given is a solitary opinion based upon the personal experiences and conclusions made by the owner of
this site. The purpose of Once Fallen is not seek any influence over "age of consent" laws or, as some erroneously put it, "normalize pedophilia" or sexual
abuse (and thus is not affiliated in any way with alleged "pro-pedophile" groups like NAMBLA), nor is Once Fallen even part of that debate. Instead, Once
Fallen provides the best available information on the case against post-conviction sex offender "remedies" such as public shaming lists, residency
restrictions. Once Fallen promotes an "evidence-based approach" to combating recidivism through a combination of fact-based public education programs
that do not rely on fear and myths about sex offenders, coupled with programs that stress healthy rehabilitation techniques and reintegration programs
balancing public safety with the individual needs to those who are labeled "sex offenders."

passport identifier provision. On July 27, 2016, California RSOL is hosting a public demonstration in Oakland. The court hearing for the IML motion will
be at 9:00 AM in Courtroom Three of Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton, 3rd Floor, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, 94612. After the hearing end, everyone
will meet outside at the courthouse plaza to host the protest.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- A year ago, Oklahoma State pitcher Andrew Oliver could only watch on his computer and listen on his radio as his team was eliminated from an NCAA tournament regional in its own stadium in Stillwater, Okla.
Oliver, one of college baseball's most promising left-handed pitchers, had been ruled ineligible by Oklahoma State and the NCAA on the eve of the 2008 Stillwater Regional. The NCAA alleged Oliver broke its rules by having an agent in the room while he negotiated a contract with the Minnesota Twins, who drafted him in the 17th round of the 2006 amateur draft.
Never mind that Oliver never signed to play for the Twins and never accepted money. The NCAA was only upset that he sought legal advice before making one of the most important decisions of his life.
The NCAA doesn't have a problem leaving John Calipari in the room with recruits. It just doesn't want attorneys in the room with their clients.
"It was rough," Oliver said. "I just wanted to play baseball and go on with my life."
If only it were ever that easy when the NCAA is involved.
A year after the NCAA's decision, Oliver finally pitched in an NCAA tournament regional Saturday night. He threw two-run ball over 7 1/3 innings, leading the No. 3-seeded Cowboys to a 3-2 upset over top seed Clemson at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
The Pokes, who knocked off No. 2 seed Alabama on Friday, will play again Sunday. OSU plays the winner of Sunday's earlier game between Clemson and No. 4 seed Tennessee Tech. The winner of that game will have to beat the Cowboys twice to advance to a super regional. OSU has to win only once more to advance to next weekend.
Oklahoma State, the team that lost seven of its past 11 regular-season games, finished 9-16 in Big 12 play and missed the conference tournament for the first time in 32 years, is suddenly in the driver's seat here.
"All of the guys want to win," said Oliver, who allowed eight hits with six strikeouts and one walk. "When we get into the tournament, it's a new life. Going out there and pitching, there's some extra adrenaline and it's exciting. You definitely can't get this kind of experience in a regular-season game."
Or when you're sitting in your apartment, while your teammates are playing for their postseason lives without you. After the NCAA suspended him, Oliver didn't attend last year's NCAA regional games at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. He kept track of the Pokes' games on his computer and listened to them on his radio.
Without Oliver, who had a 7-2 record and 2.20 ERA last season, the Cowboys fell to Wichita State twice at home and were eliminated from the NCAA tournament.
It was rough. I just wanted to play baseball and go on with my life.
-- Andrew Oliver
"I hurt more so for him than anything," OSU coach Frank Anderson said. "It was tough on us, but more so on the kid. It's the thing he loves to do the most -- play baseball. I just hated it for him."
The NCAA not only ruled Oliver ineligible for last year's postseason, but it wouldn't reinstate him unless he sat out 70 percent of his team's 54 regular-season games this year.
OSU officials filed an appeal on Oliver's behalf. Oliver and his parents did something smarter: they sued the NCAA.
And, to the surprise of no one with any common sense, they won in court.
On Feb. 2, an Ohio judge (Oliver is a native of Vermilion, Ohio) delivered a landmark decision in his favor. Erie County judge Tygh M. Tone ruled that the NCAA can't restrict a student-athlete's right to have legal representation while negotiating a pro contract. The judge also ruled that the NCAA couldn't penalize OSU for playing Oliver this season -- even if a higher court later overturned his ruling.
In Tone's ruling, he lambasted the NCAA's decision to suspend Oliver in the first place.
Tone wrote: "For a student-athlete to be permitted to have an attorney and then to tell that student-athlete that his attorney cannot be present during the discussion of an offer from a professional organization, is akin to hiring a doctor but the doctor is told by the hospital board and the insurance company that he cannot be present when the patient meets with a surgeon because the conference may improve his patient's decision making power."
Even after the judge's ruling, OSU officials still weren't sure how to handle Oliver's case. They didn't reinstate him until the day before the Cowboys opened the season against BYU on Feb. 20. Oliver pitched the next day and looked like his old self, striking out 11 hitters in a 5-4 victory over the Cougars.
Anderson said at times this season, he worried about how Oliver would handle the distractions of his NCAA case. The NCAA still plans to appeal the judge's ruling.
"That's a tough deal," Anderson said. "Human nature says it weighs on you a little bit."
Watching Oliver pitch this season, it wasn't hard to tell it was weighing on his mind. During the regular season, he had a 5-6 record with a 5.58 ERA. He was bombed in his last regular-season start, giving up seven hits and eight earned runs in 2 1/3 innings in a 9-8 loss at Texas Tech on May 15.
Keith Law, a senior baseball analyst for Scouts Inc., still ranks Oliver the No. 54 prospect available for the June 9 first-year player draft.
"Obviously, it hasn't been easy," Oliver said. "It's kind of been stressful. I've done the best I could do with it."
Against Clemson, Oliver finally seemed to be at his best again.
Oliver was dominant through the first seven innings, shutting out the Tigers and allowing only four hits. But after the Pokes took a 2-0 lead on back-to-back homers from shortstop Tom Belza and designated hitter Mark Ginther in the bottom of the seventh, Clemson's hitters finally got to Oliver in the eighth.
With one out, the Tigers hit four straight singles to chase Oliver from the game. Clemson tied the score at 2-2 in the eighth, but OSU went back ahead 3-2 on left fielder Neil Medchill's RBI single in the bottom of the eighth.
Pokes closer Randy McCurry retired the Tigers in order in the ninth to seal the victory.
This time, Oliver was there to celebrate with his teammates.
"I was just excited to play," Oliver said. "I was just excited to be out there."

Keep up with your memory of just the past couple of years. Please look at ALL the time u were in the MWC. How many conference championships did u win? How many did u win while in the WAC? U do not have a storied program and yes, u were in the middle most of the time. As to your "something the Y can never do", Never is a long time and it was in 1984 that we did win a NC. Now that is something that the u will never do!

How about this, we as utah fans will acknowledge that BYU was all-dominant and that we would have loved to be in your situation in the 70's and 80's, and you can admit that you are 100% jealous that Utah busted the BCS twice in the last decade, were invited to the Pac 12, and have a good chance of challenging for the Pac-12 south in the future. Face it, you can not honestly say that you would trade MWC and WAC championships for going to (and winning) BCS games.

New flash Eddie, BYU did not win a National Championship in 1984, there was no championship game. All BYU did was beat a lousy 6-5 Michigan team (close game despite that fact) in a third rate bowl and a bunch of unranked WAC teams. Then somehow, via a fluke in the rules where BYU wound up the only undefeated team in the country (not hard when you play such a weak schedule) BYU lucked out and was AWARDED (did not win) the NC which led to many collective moans across the country (i.e. Bo Diddly Tech references); 1984 is not something I would be touting as most people outside of Utah view it as a mistake as BYU beat nobody that made the final top 25; that deserves the NC?. Lets see, beating no final ranked teams and then barely beating a 6-5 barley bowl eligible Michigan team in a third rate bowl nobody watched or beating two top 10 and an a additional two top 25 teams including a beat down of a former #1 (earlier in the season) SEC power Alabama Crimson Tide team in a major bowl; not to mention 2004; enough said.

"BYU lucked out and was AWARDED (did not win) the NC..."
Indeed, Mr. Rock, BYU's awarded national championship was the first step to the establishment of the current BCS system which now excludes them.
The BCS excludes BYU because it demands victory over quality opposition, an ability for which BYU has routinely proven incapable.

In the 12 yrs Utah was a member of the MWC, we won 4 conference championships. TCU also won 4 MWC championships during THEIR tenure from 2005-2011. Both Utah and TCU had 2 undefeated seasons and 2 BCS bowls. The Y won 4 MWC championships, but they were never dominant enough to bust the BCS. Edge: Utah and TCU.
As for the WAC...who cares? They Y dominated the WAC once the Arizona schools left, but by the time they advanced to the MWC, their days of glory were long gone. The cougars have become an irrelevant has-been. First Bronco had his players lie down on the field at LES and dream of past glories. Then he played his final 2009 regular season game in the cougars' WAC glory years bright royal blue colors. Then finally, he and Holmoe negotiated for readmission to that lower-tiered mid-majorey league. The WAC is where you belong. The Pac-12 is were WE belong. The Big XII is where TCU belongs. Edge: Utah and TCU.
Have fun down there in the WAC. I'm sure you win lots of games vs. those cupcake league members.

Your comments make me laugh! Every single post made by the Ute faithful on the one hand talk about how great the Utes are and how bad BYU is. How important Utah is now that you are in the PAC-12, and how irrelevant BYU is going off into independence and obscurity, etc. You see the theme here.
And yet, when BYU fans point out that Utah had a mediocre season at best, and lost to the doormat of the PAC-12, your comeback is...
Utah beat BYU 54-10 and that justifies Whittingham's salary increase!
You can't have it both ways - either:
1) BYU isn't relevant as you so loudly proclaim over and over and over ad nauseum, or
2) BYU is relevant and you define success for your season(s) on beating BYU
Which is it? If BYU announced a huge salary increase for Bronco Mendenhall and BYU fans loudly trumpeted to the world that Coach Mendenhall deserved the pay raise because we thumped FCS Idaho State 56-3, you would die laughing.
Summary: No matter how much you pretend BYU doesn't matter, Utah fans can't live without comparing themselves to BYU.
