Display Scaling: What It Is and What You Need to Know About it to Have Great VisualsMay 11, 2015 at 11:36PM
Great overview and it answered all my questions when it comes to scaling for icons (and a then some). Really liked that you hit on the memory impact of assets for scaling down. It would be very helpful if that table made it into the documentation.

AbstractIt is well known that UHF radars at high latitude observe significant perturbations in measurements of amplitude, phase, range, and Doppler, caused by ionospheric disturbances. Without mitigation of these effects, there is no doubt that the natural ionosphere is a major issue for the important radar functions of tracking and classification at the Thule Upgraded Early Warning radar (UEWR). This work will develop signal processing techniques to mitigate the effects of the perturbed polar region ionosphere on the radar classification and/or track functions. This will be accomplished through the development and application of a high fidelity desktop simulation. These efforts will be rooted in real-world data, namely that taken as part of the MDA/Raytheon Ionospheric Data Collection (IDC) program. These data will be applied to verify the fidelity of the algorithms used in the desktop simulation to model the ionosphere.

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

You immediately catch my attention with piece. It's a fantastic blend of sounds. I'm in love with the chords you use. Non-traditional, and very effective. I love that this piece is simple, yet emotive.
The trumpet at 1:13 and 2:01 is used rather effectively. There is an atmosphere of a battle long fought that is now over, and those still alive sail away, victorious, yet mourning the loss of their comrades.
This really is exemplary work. I was surprised to find this in your audio after looking at your more recent electronic stuff. Write more like this :) Fav'd and following!

The Washington Post and the International New York Times had the same front-page headlines today. Both had to do (as the Times put it) with the "Power Void" in the Mideast, deploring that America's decade of attempting to create a new order in the region now is blowing up in its face.
The endangered fish is now worth millions; Obamacare may very well pave the way to single payer; meanwhile, is Israel being "singled out"? These discoveries and more after the jump.
Scientists can turn the sea plants into oil in less than 60 minutes; the FDA is forcing antibacterial soap manufacturers to prove the efficacy of their product or take it off the shelves; meanwhile, America's state borders would look very different if many had their way.

A human rights group in Israel has denounced the country's government, saying it "tortured" Palestinian children; a Reddit user publishes his unexpected $55,000 hospital bill for an appendectomy; meanwhile, Fukushima's Daiichi Unit 3 will not explode, despite reports to the contrary. These discoveries and more after the jump.

"We know everything but learn nothing" would be an honest slogan for the NSA, CIA and lesser-known spy agencies that specialize in leading us so dangerously astray.

American Jews are expected to unequivocally support Israel against its very real enemies, but Israeli policies of the moment can and do betray values held by a large swath of American Jewry.
Five years after destroying the world economy, big banks are back and bigger than ever; a new laptop charger promises to be smaller than the plug; meanwhile, Israeli police are ignoring Palestinian villagers' complaints about violence in the West Bank. These discoveries and more after the jump.

Israel has approved the construction of 1,600 new homes in existing settlements on territory that was seized from the Palestinians, Reuters reports.
Christmas this year seems more the occasion of religious war than of the peace to which the greeting cards routinely allude.
The extreme right has been pronounced dead a few times now, but it's proven more resilient than some hoped; dolphins' intelligence has come into serious doubt; and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar has invested his first $50 million into the project he's starting with journalist Glenn Greenwald.

According to Israeli government documents, the former leader of South Africa was trained by Israel's intelligence agency in the 1960s; there are many parallels to be drawn between the Sochi and Berlin Olympics; meanwhile, a White House review panel member expresses his "surprise" in finding that the NSA's data collection has not stopped a single act of terrorism.

One week after documents revealed that British and American intelligence agencies targeted email addresses belonging to the offices of Israel's former prime minister and defense minister, Israeli officials angrily demanded that U.S. spying on their government stop.

India reinstated a "gay sex" ban, but before you throw stones, remember we have plenty of similar laws in the U.S. today; designers have put forth their best revisionist ideas to address the umbrella's many deficiencies; meanwhile, Israel is increasingly isolated due to boycotts and sanctions.

While many Americans were uninsured, others were being forced to undergo a series of unnecessary tests that hurt both them and the medical system; the creator of the TV program "The Wire" calls America a "horror show"; and, despite what many believe, technology will not save us from the apocalypse.

The deal with Iran is potentially an international game changer comparable to Richard Nixon's opening to Mao's Red China and Ronald Reagan's overtures to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
The U.S.-led deal to freeze Iran's nuclear program is a great accomplishment on many levels. Begin with the most basic: What if the talks in Geneva had failed?
As many of the fast food chain's employees struggle to feed their families, the company suggests they "break food into pieces" to feel full; Israel and Saudi Arabia join forces against Iran; meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is funding a $2.6 million mesh network surveillance grid that has its eye on us all.

UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, suspended U.S. voting rights in its organization after Washington failed to pay its dues. U.S. contributions make up about a fifth of UNESCO's funding.
The raids in Libya and Somalia last month, targeting an alleged al-Qaeda fugitive and an alleged kingpin of the al-Shabab Islamist movement, were less a sign of America's awesome might than minor exceptions that proved an emerging rule: that the power, prestige, and influence of the United States in the broader Middle East and its ability to shape events there is in a death spiral.

Doorstop. That's what publishers call 400-page books like Max Blumenthal's "Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel." But as I read it the term that came to mind was heart stopper.
AP/Jason Reed
What John Kerry did this week in Egypt and Saudi Arabia is nothing short of despicable.
British authorities suspect David Miranda of a terrorist act because they say he carried documents from whistle-blower Edward Snowden; Obamacare is merely feeding Wall Street more of Americans' money; meanwhile, President Obama has cracked down on pot. These discoveries and more after the jump.
Max Blumenthal's "Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel" is one of the most fearless, honest and important books ever written about the Jewish state.
The president knew. Presidents always know, but are supposed to be protected from what they saw, heard and did when the best-laid plans hit the fan.
Although The Guardian broke the story on the National Security Agency, it soon collaborated with The New York Times and ProPublica; Glenn Greenwald and Pierre Omidyar have set up a temporary blog until their site is up and running; meanwhile, from the sky, a church is discovered to have an unfortunate resemblance to a sexual organ.

Roughly 60,000 Africans seeking deliverance from poverty, persecution, ethnic cleansing and genocide face ultranationalist aggression as Israelis and their politicians seek brutal methods in the effort to retain the Jewish character of their country.
China's government is trying to enhance security in hospitals to protect health care providers from patients' furious relatives; Obama seems completely indifferent to outrage over the NSA leaks; meanwhile, Wikipedia's volunteer workforce is dwindling. These discoveries and more after the jump.
There are 2 million people surveilling Internet usage in China, half a million more than are safeguarding the country in its army; memory's fallibility is a good thing, according to some neuroscientists; meanwhile, the Fukushima disaster is enough evidence that all nuclear plants should be shut down. These discoveries and more after the jump.
Almost half of Americans classified as poor earn an income that's 50 percent below the poverty line; the Internet is adding to the destruction of the creative class, musician David Byrne argues; and North Dakota has suffered one of the worst onshore oil spills in recent history, courtesy of fracking. These discoveries and more after the jump.

While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ranted against Iran, his government was preparing to implement the Prawer Plan, a blueprint for the expulsion of 40,000 indigenous Bedouin citizens of Israel into state-run, reservation-style townships—just one element of an emerging program to dominate all space and the lives of all people between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.
The shutdown of the American government has been devastating to the United States' international credibility.

White House/Amanda Lucidon
More than three decades after the hostage crisis, the presidents of the United States and Iran spoke at the United Nations, apparently eager to repair relations between the two countries.
At last, patient documents are becoming paperless; the European Union and Israel are in the middle of a dispute over soldiers sent to stop diplomats from giving aid to Palestinians; meanwhile, Canada could give the U.S. a few tips on how to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression.

In California, the question of whether a member of a jury can be excluded due to his or her sexual orientation has come up; the stock market cheats the middle class; meanwhile, videos have been released showing Iran's involvement in training Syrian soldiers.

Quoting islander101010:
Feds may be reevaluating E Central FL properties because of impending sea level rise and hurricanes may be a minor consideration. Just because the dolts in Congress don't support the idea of climate change and its ramifications doesn't mean other Federal agencies aren't moving ahead. The Navy has been raising the heights of piers in Norfolk. Some of the most interesting reading on the subject has come from military and security conferences on the effects of climate change. Two examples from "security and climate change" google.

MCDONALD — The McDonald High School Class of 2009 expressed an awareness of the challenges each graduate will face now that the diplomas have been presented and the blue and white caps have been tossed.
During their commencement on Sunday, the 75 graduating seniors listened as Bob Black, anchor and assistant news director for WFMJ, admitted that we don't live in the kind of world he envisioned 43 years ago — when he was sitting at his own high school graduation.
To go a step further, Black said his generation has left a mess to the class of 2009.
"The economy is in the worst shape it's been in since the 1930s," he said. "People are losing their jobs and losing their homes to foreclosures ... there are new illnesses ...."
Even so, the theme of the day wasn't despair, but the importance of working hard and applying to adult life the lessons learned in kindergarten.
Black told the members of the class that it's love and kindness — not more schooling — that they need to make this world a better place.
"Take risks," he continued. "Leave the city of comfort and go into the wilderness on intuition ... not by a bus but by hard work."
Ryan Williams, a class valedictorian and National Honor Society member, advised his fellow graduates to shut out the negative voices around them and do what what they really want to do in life. He reminded the class that no one will care what grades they had in high school or what activities they pursued.
"What matters now are the choices we make from here on out ... all of our dreams can come true if we have the courage and perseverance to pursue them,"
Some 600 relatives and friends packed into the auditorium to witness the presentation of the diplomas. At least 20 graduates are the recipients of close to $400,000 in college scholarships. Among other accomplishments, one graduate earned a perfect score on the ACT national college and placement exam. Another graduate has been accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy.
Co-valedictorian and National Honor Society member Amanda Sacco applauded the accomplishments of all of her classmates and offered them some advice. She told them to set high standards for themselves.
"Reach for the moon ... even if you miss, you'll still be among the stars," she said.
She encouraged her peers to have good attitudes, be good listeners, choose occupations they will enjoy and to never be discouraged.
Black advised the graduates to live their lives, not to let their lives happen.
"Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than what you did do," he said. "It is easy to exist instead of living. Do what you elieve is great work ... fight the fear of failing ... don't let fear or failures define who you are. The greatest fail ure is not to try. Keep your dreams alive.
"Don't let the world beat you down."
McDonald Class of 2009
Graduates: 75
Valedictorians: 6 - Robert DeVita, Callie Garland, Amanda Sacco, Mitchell Thornton, Adam Tura, Ryan Williams
President: William Lowry
Song: "100 Years" by Five For Fighting
Colors: Metallic Silver & Navy Blue
Flower: White Rose
My suggestion to high school grads is to prepare yourself for a country where 50% of your wages are taken in the form of taxes to cover a bunch of special interest groups and votes by the glamorous politicians in D.C.
Then go out and buy at least two weapons because it is going to be every man/woman/child for themselves very soon in this country.
And if you think I am crazy or ignorant, say your prayers to maker now.
There is a correction to be made in this article. The lines "advised his fellow graduates to shut out the negative voices around them and do what what they really want to do in life. He reminded the class that no one will care what grades they had in high school or what activities they pursued.
"What matters now are the choices we make from here on out ... all of our dreams can come true if we have the courage and perseverance to pursue them," were written by Mitchell Thornton not Ryan Williams.
Yes, work hard so you can see half your wages go to someone who doesn't.

Heifer's Work Around the World
See where Heifer is working around the world to end hunger.
A Heifer Farm Volunteer is Uplifted
Groups like the 7th graders from Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts remind me of the importance to keep trying and keep teaching and being certain that ending hunger and poverty and caring for the earth is not a fantasy that Dan West had in 1939 and acted on in 1944. Heifer's mission is an ongoing reality that I am proud to be part of and extremely pleased to share with participants of all ages. Click the title of this story to read more...
Ranch Volunteer Shares What Heifer Means to Her
I remember the first time I heard of Heifer International. I was sitting in a Peace Corps van, driving through the streets of Thies, the second largest city in Senegal. Two of my fellow volunteers started excitedly chattering as we passed a sign. They slapped on the window and shrieked at each other. I didn't really understand the excitement, but I noted the sign, a cow jumping over the word "Heifer". At the moment, it didn't mean much to me, but looking back on that moment, it was the start to something amazing.
Read to Feed Program Inspires Students to Raise Over $4,000 for Charity
United States of America
Heifer International's Read to Feed program has undoubtedly been an important and invaluable experience for the Maimonides 4th grade class this past year (2012-2013). It did not take long for my students to understand that their philanthropy could significantly improve a family's quality of life, and that together, they can make a lasting difference for people around the world.
Going Hog Wild for Heifer International
Naquag Elementary School, located in Rutland, MA, went "hog wild" during the first week of May with a very successful fundraiser! To celebrate, students ran in a race and attended a special school-wide assembly where the principal puckered up and kissed a pig!
Former Uganda Orphan Returning to Help Others
United States of America
Ronnie Seruyange, 26, used to be an orphaned street kid in Uganda.
Heifer's Heart: Shon Rainford

What really touches me is reading the letters of participants in our education programs which show we are truly doing work that will make the world a better place.

Bears Set to Open Final Home Series Against Evansville Thursday Night
May 14, 2014
Missouri State Bears (21-28, 7-11 MVC) vs. Evansville Purple Aces (33-17, 14-4 MVC)
Leading Off
MSU was swept in its three-game series at Indiana State last weekend, despite holding at least a three-run lead in each contest. With a 7-11 league mark, the Bears appear to be destined for the No. 6 seed at next week's MVC Tournament in Terre Haute. They will be looking to throw a wrench in the Purple Aces' plan to capture the conference's regular-season crown following UE's three-game sweep of Illinois State last weekend. The Aces need just one victory to clinch their first league title since 2006, when they edged the Bears by one-half game in the MVC standings, then captured the tournament championship with a pair of wins over MSU on the final day of the league meet in Wichita.
The 30th MVC Baseball Championship will begin Tuesday (May 20) with four contests at Indiana State's Bob Warn Field. The host Sycamores hold the only predetermined game time for opening day, with their game set for a 7:30 p.m. first pitch.
Prime 9
Series History
Prior to last year, Evansville had won seven of the previous eight match-ups against MSU, including two wins in each of its last two regular-season trips to Springfield. Overall, the Bears are 22-15 at home against UE and 11-7 vs. the Aces at Hammons Field.
Senior Sendoff
Hanging Up No. 20
Thomas has been a fixture on head coach Keith Guttin's staff since the current dean of MVC head baseball coaches took over in 1983, helping the Bears compile a 1,084-703 record, including seven regular-season conference championships and eight conference tournament titles. Thomas has served as MSU's first base coach and hitting instructor for all eight of the Bears' trips to NCAA Regional play, including the program's first Division I College World Series appearance in 2003.
Hawk Heats Up
Hawkins enters the weekend in command of the MVC lead with 12 sacrifice bunts on the season. The act of self-sacrifice is nothing new for Hawkins, who moved past teammate Eric Cheray for the No. 2 spot on the Bears' career chart with a pair of sac bunts in MSU's 5-3 win over Kansas on May 7. The MSU duo ranks first and second on the Bears' single-season chart as well, with Cheray holding the record with 14 SACs in 2012, and Hawkins right on his tail with 13 last spring.
The Bears have used the sacrifice much more readily in recent years, with seven of the top eight single-season totals in program history coming within the last decade. Additionally, Hawkins leads all Valley defenders in assists with 155 for the season. Cheray, who has committed just four errors in 237 defensive chances this season, ranks fifth in the same category with 131 assists.

The Pantagraph, Carlos T. Miranda, Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — 'S cool to be in school when the teacher rocks.
Literally . as he's doing now . at your side . thumping out the bass to Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream."
So what if you weren't even born when the song was a radio anthem in the summer of '89?
The rock of ages never grows old.
"It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down ...
"I had the radio on, I was drivin' ... "
Laying down "Dream's" backbeat is 9-year-old drummer Joseph Dubravec; letting fly with the Petty-worthy licks is 10-year-old guitarist Chris Merica.
Tom would be proud.
Maybe even envious: Did he sound this good at 9? Or even 10?
The teacher at Joe and Chris' side, aka "Mr. Ed," grins big. Then bigger.
Meanwhile, he fills in the blanks with some steady bass and seasoned vocal.
Less-polished results have been heard at venues packing cover charges.
"Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads ...
"Runnin' down a dream ... "
As the man behind an array of rock-prone music projects over the past decade or more, "Mr. Ed" Anderson knows a thing or two about runnin' down dreams — from long-gone bands like Brother Jed, to the recent climax of Backyard Tire Fire, to the currently percolating Anders Edison and Magic Box.
The latest dream finds Anderson now the headmaster of Bloomington Rock School, downstate Illinois' first full-time academy devoted to the art of amperage, and more.
Housed in a downtown storefront, the school fits like a guitar case: exposed brick walls to absorb the tidal waves of sound ("sometimes they're almost too loud for me," deadpans Ed), and high ceilings and polished wood floors to give it that rarefied air of academia.
"It's been a real fun process," says Anderson, who placed Backyard Tire Fire on what he calls "an indefinite hiatus" late last year — partly to focus on the school, partly because life was moving on for the maturing band, including brother Matt's impending nuptials.
"It's one of those things that's at a good place now," he adds. "I get to be at the school two to three days a week, and then I still get to play three to four nights a week."
Assisting Ed are his wife, Kim, who serves as the operations manager, and old crony Tony SanFilippo, owner-operator of Bloomington's Oxide Lounge Recording and Bloomington Rock School's percussion guru. The curriculum is comprised of two full courses designed for kids 10 to 17, "Introduction to Rock" and "Rock Performance."
The latter course culminates in a public performance at a major Twin Cities venue as The Rock School Band: like tonight's Castle Theatre gig, in which the band opens for Farm A Geddon and Anders Edison.
Also offered at the school are private lessons on guitar, bass and drums, and songwriting seminars, all of which are open to budding musicians of any age.
Currently, the Rock School's demographics range from "7 to 50s," says Anderson, who confesses, "at first I didn't think I'd be teaching as much — I hadn't before — but I discovered I could do it and I liked it."
On a recent Thursday night, school is in full session, with the smaller "Introduction to Rock" class kicking off the evening in laid-back but highly productive style.

What sets Milwaukee's M12 series oscillating tool apart from the pack is less the tool itself than the battery that powers it. Cordless oscillating tools have a reputation for draining the power source very quickly, but this one is bundled with the new Red Lithium battery that, according to Milwaukee, offers 40 percent more runtime and 50 percent more charges than other lithium products. With its variable speed control, the M12 oscillating tool can operate between 5,000 and 20,000 opm. It includes an adapter piece that allows it to accept the accessories of all other brands. ¦ Price: $149. 800-729-3878. www.milwaukeetool.com.

First Ever Interest Free Short-Term Loan Launched
One of the cheapest payday loan providers in the UK has today announced that it will be offering 0% short-term loans; in what is thought to be an industry first in the UK.
The first 0% short-term payday loan, launched by www.InstantLoansDirect.com, will be available for an 8 day period prior to every month end, starting in November 2011 and running at the end of each month until March 2012.
The site pinpointed the day in each month whereby payday loans were most frequently applied for, and so decided to launch the 0% short term loan to help those at a time in the month when they seemed to most struggle financially.
The dates on which the 0% loans will be available and the dates by which each would need to be repaid, are as follows;
Application opens...
23rd November 2011 at 12:00am 30th November 2011 at 11:59pm
24th December 2011 at 12:00am
24th January 2012 at 12:00am
22nd February 2012 at 12:00am 29th February 2012 at 11:59pm
24th March 2012 at 12:00am 31st March 2012 at 11:59pm
*Date the loan must be paid back by in order for it to remain interest-free. After this time and date, an interest rate of 50p per day for every £100 borrowed will apply for the 8 days and each day thereafter.
Every new customer who applies for a short-term loan on the site (and is accepted) for the 8 days prior to each month end can get a minimum of £50 and a maximum of £300, but this must be paid back by the end of the 8 days in order for the 0% APR to apply. Terms and conditions will apply and more about the interest free short-term loans can be found here.
Giles Coutts, founder of InstantLoansDirect.com, spoke about the interest free loans;
"Whilst many people are wary of instant loans, people are applying for them and relying on them and that's a fact we can't ignore, especially with banks reluctant to help out and the general cost of living going up. That is why we are trying our best to go above and beyond, by offering the UK's first 0% payday loan.
"Some critics kept on about how high the APR is of major payday lenders, but we launched with our service earlier this year with an APR that blew our expensive competitors away. Now with our 0% pay day loan, we hope this will make people realise that Instant Loans Direct.com is a serious player in this market."
He concluded;
"Customers can apply for up to a £300 loan for 8 days, which they will then pay back by the end of that period. We're hoping we can help consumers at a time when they might be struggling financially and that our 0% interest free short-term loan will be a quick and easy solution to their problem. We hope customers can see that not all payday loan companies are out to make a quick buck and hope to highlight the usefulness a payday loan can provide. Most importantly for the customer, they can take our 0% interest free payday loan, knowing it won't cost a penny more, giving them piece of mind if they need an emergency loan."
The interest free loans on offer from November 23rd 2011 will be an opportunity for customers to pay back the same amount that they borrowed, with no added costs. Terms and conditions of the interest-free loans from InstantLoansDirect.com can be found here.

The Physical Limits of ComputingView Description Hide Description
Many of the fundamental limits on information processing from thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics are only a few decades away. Novel physically motivated computing paradigms such as reversible computing and quantum computing may help in certain ways,but even they remain subject to some basic limits.
The Physical Basis of ComputabilityView Description Hide Description
Simulations work in practice because they exploit higher-level organizing principles in nature. Good code writing requires faithfulness to these principles and the discipline not to exceed their limits of validity. An important exception is the use of simulation to search for new kinds of emergence.
Computational Complexity for PhysicistsView Description Hide Description
The theory of computational complexity has some interesting links to physics, in particular to quantum computing and statistical mechanics. This article contains an informal introduction to this theory and its links to physics.

Patterns in Scientific Software: An IntroductionView Description Hide Description
Scientific programmers have generally avoided object-oriented approaches because of their heavy computational overhead. But the benefits of using patterns for scientific problems can outweigh their costs.
An Object-Oriented Scripting Interface to a Legacy Electronic Structure CodeView Description Hide Description
The authors have created an object-oriented scripting interface to a mature density functional theory code. The interface gives users a high-level, flexible handle on the code without rewriting the underlying number-crunching code. The authors also discuss design issues and the advantages of homogeneous interfaces.
Visualizing and Identifying Conformational Ensembles in Molecular Dynamics TrajectoriesView Description Hide Description
Using a conformational distance measure based on the changes in intramolecular atom distances, the authors show that a planar map can help visualize molecular dynamics trajectories efficiently such that conformational ensembles appear as well-separated point sets. Cluster analysis can then be used to automatically identify conformations.

Nothing happens when I click EDIT on front end. TOo bad.
Me too :(
I would very much like to get Front-end Editor working with my test site (WP 3.9.1) but although the 'Edit' button shows up, clicking it does nothing. Also, my slider images stop sliding with Front-end Editor installed. I have left it installed for the moment in case you want to look at the site.
I'm using the Customizr theme which is very well supported.
In case it matters, I am also using Contact Form 7 which is a long-established and well-supported plugin. I haven't bothered to test without CF7 because it is now an essential part of my site - and if I have to deactivate it in order to be able to use Front-end Editor, then I might as well do my edits at the back end while I'm there.
I love Front-end Editor (and Aloha Editor) and believe it will become a WP standard. So I will be sad if I can't use it yet.
(I have posted in similar vein on both the Customizr and CF7 support forums but no-one replies yet)

The Highlanders will play the Brumbies at the Queenstown Rec

Theteam will attend a fundraising lunch for the Wakatipu
Rugby Club at the Queenstown Memorial Centre.
Club president Damian O'Connell said the event had initially
been planned for late last year, when ''one or two'' of the
Highlanders were available. However, that had been postponed
to capitalise on the team's visit to the resort.
Hosted by broadcaster and Queenstown Lakes District
Councillor Craig Ferguson and former All Black Justin
Marshall, Thorn and some team-mates, possibly including Aaron
Smith, will be interviewed while ticket-holders enjoy a
catered lunch and cash bar, followed by a fundraising
Guests would also be able to watch the team during the
captain's run on the Queenstown Rec Ground after lunch,
O'Connell said.
There are 20 tables of 10 available and individual tickets on
The event starts at noon on Thursday. Tickets are available
by calling Locations Realty on (03) 442-7990 or emailing
Tickets cost $75 each, or $750 for a table of 10.
Gates open on Friday at 5pm for a 6pm kick-off, tickets cost
$20 for adults, children free.
The Highlanders' first official fixture will be against the
Blues on February 22, at Forsyth Barr Stadium, in Dunedin.

Amazon.com Review
Max H. Bazerman is a professor of negotiation at Northwestern University. Unlike many of today's investment gurus, he's applied statistical models to numerous situations in which the price of a purchase was in flux. And he has concluded, beyond any doubt, that certain tactics will almost certainly save you money, while others put the power in someone else's corner, dooming you to pay a higher price than you might have otherwise. Now, you may already know that there's a mere 10 percent chance you'll use an extended warranty, and thus pass it up; about 60 percent of purchasers are able to resist. But you may not know that you should never let a real estate agent know the highest price you are willing to pay for a property. In fact, you're best off if the agent knows only how low the seller is willing to go. With a knowledge only of the floor and no idea what the ceiling is, guess where the price winds up? Right: hovering just over the carpet. There's more to this book than negotiation, though. One chapter persuades you to keep the value of your time in mind when making a purchase. For example, if you research and shop for 20 hours in order to save $120 on a purchase, you've set the value of your time at $6 an hour. (Would you like fries with that big-screen TV?)
Like the best investment books, Smart Money Decisions should have a permanent place on your shelves. You may need it only a few times a year, but you're virtually guaranteed to have more money at the end of the year. --Lou Schuler

Sometimes when I plug in my headphones, OSX will change the volume to halfway. This is too much. How can I make it so that when I plug in my headphones the volume is lower?
Mac OS X uses the volume you set your headphones to when you last unplugged them (try for example plugging them in, muting the sound, and then plugging them out and - after a moment - back in: the sound should still be muted). So you will have to tune down your volume manually after plugging in to avoid hurting your ears.

The Dee Zee Tailgate Assist is EXACTLY what I had hoped it would be. Auto Anything had it priced right, free shipping and no sales tax. It was shipped promptly, I got a tracking number, and it arrived in good condition at the time it was promised. The installation was exactly as the instructions said it would be and was easy and straight forward. I can't think of anything that could have possibly made this transaction any better.

Drinkers of wine, sherry and port may be unknowingly breaking
the law and consuming small doses of the party drug fantasy,
an illegal class B drug.
The revelation has brought calls for wine to be tested for
traces of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), or its precursor
gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), the active ingredient in fantasy.
Concerns have also been raised about beauty products
containing GHB, which have been sold here for years.
The Ministry of Health has just been made aware of the issue
and is working on how to deal with it.
National Addiction Centre director Doug Sellman said it
seemed likely some wine contained GHB, and called for more
research to be undertaken.
"It raises the bizarre conclusion that many wines in New
Zealand may, in fact, be technically illegal. There's been no
research done on New Zealand wines, and only one article in
2005 in the international literature."
The paper found GHB or GBL occurred naturally in fermenting
grapes. It looked at 50 beverages in Britain and found the
ingredient in red-wine vermouth, sherry, port, red wine and
white wine.
The concentration of GHB ranged from 4.1mg to 21.4 mg per
litre, the greatest concentration being found in red wine.
Doses as a recreational drug are usually between 500mg and
Dr Sellman said he was not calling for prohibition, but
wine-drinkers were essentially using fantasy in small but
significant amounts.
"We're not talking about trace amounts. If you drank a bottle
of wine, a small but significant part of that intoxication
will be from fantasy."
But Environmental Science Research general manager of
forensics Dr Keith Bedford said the level of GHB in wine was
virtually meaningless.
"You can consider the effects as being very similar to
alcohol. Compared to the amount of alcohol in alcoholic
drinks, what we're talking about is trivial."
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne said "there'd be a
measure of outrage" if wine were found to be illegal.
"A fair measure of common sense would need to be applied."

I have 775twins hdtv motherboard but in the manufacturer site there are only drivers for windows xp, and my computer is missing the Ethernet drivers what can I do
There are no official Windows 7 drivers for that ethernet chipset. There are some 3rd party drivers you can find out on the internet, but I avoid those like the plague. Your best bet would be to buy a new ethernet card. Ethernet cards are cheap and you can get one that is guaranteed to work with Windows 7 and 8.

The Great Divergence: China, Europe, and the Making of the Modern World Economy / Edition 1by Kenneth Pomeranz

The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.
Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.
Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving pathspaths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.

I have my plugin successfully setup for translation. And have had a few generous individuals translate the plugin. Everything is working great.
Now, I would like to include other php files used by the plugin to be translatable.
Here is the function I'm using in my
main.php file:
function jwl_ultimate_tinymce() {
load_plugin_textdomain('jwl-ultimate-tinymce', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages' );
add_action( 'init', 'jwl_ultimate_tinymce' );
My question; Do I need to include that in each file which will have translatable strings? Or do I need to
include each file which will have a translatable string in my
main.php file?
Thank you.

To the Editor The authors of a Viewpoint1 stated that "The [Catholic] Church opposes artificial means of birth control based on the belief that each and every marital sexual act must be open to the possibility of the transmission of life." They then stated that "A similar system of beliefs is shared, in part, by other faiths, including Orthodox Judaism and certain other Christian churches." This statement is incorrect.

Teen Blog
This year the second floor of the Headquarters Library decided to do something a bit different for their holiday decorations. The Youth Services staff made the decision to have all of their decorations made from recycled and repurposed materials, specifically focusing on books weeded from the collection due to extreme damage. Then the system-wide Teen Council and teen volunteers from Headquarters handled the majority of the decoration creation. Over the course of three weeks these groups worked together to create the trees, snowflakes, paper chains and houses that make up the majority of the second floor decorations while staff members created the complementary hedgehogs. One fun twist that came from using old books was creating a game to go with the decorations.
Five trees created from old books are on the Youth Services Research Desk. We encourage all customers to come and try to guess which books were used to make the trees for a chance to win a prize. To go with the theme of recycled and repurposed decorations the Teen Council decided on the slogan "Go Green with the Grinch" to help tie all of the decorations together.
Check out this slideshow and view on Flickr to find out more about how some of the decorations were made.
If you own a Nook, Sony, Kobo, or other non-Amazon e-ink (black and white) eBook reader listed here and you've checked out eBooks from CRRL, chances are you've had the misfortune of dealing with Adobe Digital Editions, the gateway between most copy-protected eBooks and reading devices. If you're planning on giving or receiving one of these toys this holiday season, you'll want to read on. Adobe Digital Editions is poorly designed, non-intuitive and relies far, far too heavily on keyboard shortcuts and buried menus. Even with its recent, underwhelming 2.0 update, be you tech "dummy" or "genius," it's a pain. Sadly, it's what we're all required to use in order to get our eBooks from the Internet to our devices. Read on to learn its secrets.
It has been over a decade since the first of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings adaptations, The Fellowship of the Ring, was released. This film was greeted with both critical and audience acclaim upon its debut, and became a definitive cinematic event of the early 21st Century. On December 14, 2012, Jackson's long-awaited adaptation of the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, will be released. Jackson's films have become regarded as classics to the point that many fans may become unhappy with anyone other than Peter Jackson making a cinematic Tolkien adaptation, and it may come as a surprise to them that some film adaptations of Tolkien's mythic cycle had already been made prior to Jackson's! While waiting for the release of the first film in Jackson's Hobbit adaptation, let's take a look back at some prior cinematic versions of Tolkien's works, and at Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Isn't that how an article about derivative works is supposed to begin? We only ask because there are probably other articles out there on this topic that begin the same way. Whether or not we admit it to ourselves, 100% true originality in the case of media like books, film, music and games is practically unheard of. That's not a bad thing; works that build on one another can be some of the richest experiences imaginable. On the other hand, some people are just lazy and rip-off other, greater works.

It started as a a funny, little notion scrawled of a piece of scrap paper. "Mice have a culture all their own; Too small to integrate with other animals." Over the past decade, David Petersen's throwaway thought has emerged into a beautifully vivid adventure series that combines breathtaking action with gorgeous artwork. That series starts with Mouse Guard: Fall 1152.
The Mouse Guard are essentially wandering knights who serve a widespread kingdom. Mice have many natural predators and the guard has been established to protect citizens and keep the peace. But the kingdom is not simply threatened by snakes and owls. There are also enemies within.
The iPad mini is awesome. You can read on if you like, but just know that this is a tech purchase you probably will not regret. With its slim size, diminutive weight, and full-sized iPad technology, the iPad mini is a winner with few drawbacks.
Philosophically I approve more of Google's open source Android than I do Apple's closed-off iOS. I also am not a fan of iOS devices' lack of centralized file storage and exploration. But really, there's no denying that Apple knows how to build a tablet that overcomes these issues. The mini is 0.28 inches thick, 7.87 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide, and weighs only 0.68 pounds. The front of the mini is entirely glass with a diamond-cut edge that fits snuggly into an anodized aluminum unibody that comes in both slate and silver. The left and right bezel of the device have been narrowed significantly; at times this can make holding the device in portrait mode slightly awkward, but not as much as you might think thanks to its surprising lightness. Apple is king when it comes to rolling out devices that are a pleasure to hold and the mini is no exception; you will not believe how light and thin it really is until you hold one.
We know the majority of you weren't yet old enough to vote in this year's general election, but we wanted to give you a chance to be heard. So we came up with two candidates for our mock election and invited you to elect one as your president. Over 1,000 of you voted in the library and online!
The candidates were:
Edward Cullen from Twilight, "Because no one else has 111 years of experience!"
Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, "Hungry for change? Vote Katniss! "

Home treatment includes applying heat or ice, taking it easy but staying as active as you can, and using over-the-counter pain relievers.
For severe pain or muscle spasm, your doctor may prescribe stronger medicines.
Manual therapy, including massage, mobilization, and manipulation, can help some neck pain. See a physical therapist, chiropractor, or osteopathic doctor for this type of care and to learn stretching and strengthening exercises that you can do at home.
Your doctor may recommend that you wear a cervical collar to support your neck . Cervical collars may reduce neck pain, but they should only be used for a day or two.
Chronic (long-term) neck pain
For long-lasting neck pain, you can use the same pain-relief measures used for acute pain. For more information, see Home Treatment.
Your doctor may also prescribe antidepressants.
People who have chronic pain syndrome and its associated problems, such as depression or drug dependence, may respond to treatment more slowly. Counseling along with medical treatment may help in recovery.
Surgery is rarely required for neck pain. It may be an option when neck pain is caused by certain conditions.
