I have never said I favour style over comfort – it has always been my experience that the two can work very well together. The whole point of being a hotelier is that, when I come to design a hotel, I know from first-hand experience what makes a guest happy and leads them to come back time after time, which is the basis of running a successful and profitable hotel business.
Blakes for example has a long list of celebrity and other guests who are very demanding about comfort and who have been coming to stay there time and again for 20 years or more
As to the reference to refitting of two of the hotels I have designed, experience also shows that people who buy boutique hotels tend to do some redecoration, usually because the wife of the buyer sees herself as a designer or, in one case, because the son is an architect, which has nothing to do with comfort – and may actually discourage the regular guests from coming again
P.S. Wikipedia also says that I am "known to my friends as Nou-nou". Ugh! There is only one friend who does so, and she does it as a joke.
"….is a hotelier and designer of global repute,[7] and is ranked by Architectural Design (2002) as one of the top 100 interior designers and architects in the world. She is known to favour "style over comfort" (in her own words), and two hotels have refitted her interiors after their guests found them uncomfortable. She is known for her perfection and striking designs in which everything is ordered and regimented." [Wikipedia]

customer reviews for family room den
"So glad I bought these"
By Svelte Cat from New Hampshire
I only wish I had replaced my old shades sooner. Every time I raise and lower my new Blinds Galore shades, they function easily and flawlessly. I had put up with old dirty shades that didnt lower or stay level at the top. These shades look great both for the quality of light passing through them and for the color of the fabric you see. The prices were better than what I could get at the local box store. Measuring and installing were both easy. I was nervous to the the dimensions right but they have good instructions.View this product
"Great Product!"
By QuiltyGirl from Sioux Falls, SD
These blinds were of equal quality to those being sold locally for over $250 more. And they were super easy to install! I'm a big fan! Thanks for the super product.View this product

To hear the right-wing noise machine tell it, America's godless liberals are waging an all-out war on religion — which, of course, is utter nonsense.
Wingnut pundit Ann Coulter recently said this: �Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can�t stand the competition.�
Peter Beinart has responded THUSLY:
Notice the claim. It�s not merely that liberals are not religious themselves. It�s that they disdain people who are, and this disdain creates a cultural stigma (and a legal barrier) to religious observance…
The truth is almost exactly the reverse. Over the past few decades, liberals have�far more than conservatives�turned away from religious affiliation, though not necessarily belief in God. But while they may feel proud of their views on religion-informed issues like evolution and gay marriage, they�re not particularly proud of their lack of religious observance per se. Indeed, they�re aware that they�re violating a cherished social norm. Asking liberals to admit that they are disproportionately secular is like asking conservatives to admit that they are disproportionately white. It�s a truth they find embarrassing. Liberals love left-leaning religious figures like Sister Simone Campbell, the immigrant-rights-championing nun who addressed the 2012 Democratic National Convention, for the same reason conservatives love right-wing African Americans like Herman Cain and Dr. Ben Carson: They defy a negative stereotype.
After all, if liberals really stigmatized the religious, wouldn�t some of them have objected when John Kerry flaunted his Catholicism in 2004 or Barack Obama flaunted his adult embrace of Christianity in 2008? Is there a single example, even in the most liberal city or district, of one Democratic candidate trying to outdo the other by proclaiming herself more hostile to religious belief?

Democrat Deval L. Patrick made history last month by becoming the first African-American governor of Massachusetts. In the national news media, his victory was covered as an inspiring story of racial progress, and rightly so. Patrick's win marked a turning point in the history of a state that had never fully overcome the legacy of antiblack prejudice from the years of the Boston school-busing wars.
But another, less-noted, dimension of Patrick's victory has national significance as well. In one of the meanest political seasons in recent memory, he ran a campaign that transformed a politics of rage into a politics of reconciliation. What made his achievement all the more remarkable was that he managed to do so in liberal Massachusetts, the fiery heart of Bush-hating America.
Two years ago, when Patrick began his campaign, few of the state's liberal activists were focusing on the task of taking back the governorship that had been in Republican hands for the past sixteen years. Instead, virtually all their energy and passion was consumed by rage at George W. Bush and the triumvirate of Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rove. The anger was palpable and visible. Anti-Bush bumper stickers proclaimed "A Village in Texas Is Missing Its Idiot." Home-made lawn signs carried a defiant message: "George Bush Is Not My President."
Fury was compounded by frustration. Angry as activists were at President Bush, they were also mad...

Unfortunately the plugin does not work with "Easy FancyBox." I have been manually adding "&rel=0"
Unfortunately the plugin does not work with "Easy FancyBox." I have been manually adding "&rel=0"
@RonDsy, yeah, the plugin isn't designed for doing a full find and replace on all youtube links -- it's just for injecting the "&rel" into the oembed return which is something that you don't get access to in the editor. I'd have some concern about automatically changing all the links from the_content() as that could have some unintended consequences.
So bottom line: this plugin is designed to do one very specific thing - just change the oembed return.
Hi Sparkweb,
Adding, "&rel=0?autoplay=1" is not difficult. One solution would to find a plugin which has a notepad like function so that you can conveniently append the Youtube functions. The other option is to have FancyBox append the functions within the embed.
Here are some examples on how the web team at Talking Manuals are using the FancyBox with the appended Youtube functions: "&rel=0?autoplay=1" http://talkingmanuals.com/how-to/photo/how-to-shoot-jewelry
Kind regards,
I use 'my youtube playlist' plugin;
I installed the plug in but it doesn't chance anything
when I add &rel=0 to the code it stops showing related videos at the end but no I got blank thumbnails on my site any idea what I can do about this ? thnx titus
This plugin only handles the oembed. My YouTube Playlist does a direct embed on its own. You would have to manually add &rel=0 in a few places on line 16 of myYoutubePLaylist.php.
<noscript><object width=\"500\" height=\"307\" data=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###STARTVIDEO###&rel=0&hl=en&fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###STARTVIDEO###&rel=0&hl=en&fs=1\"/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"/><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###STARTVIDEO###&rel=0&hl=en&fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"307\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"/></object></noscript>
But I can't really support that plugin so.... good luck!

E.g. no MSN or Internet after 9pm or for only 1 hour/day.
I realize there are many commercial packages out there, however I don't want/need extensive keyword filtering, content filtering, logging etc. just simple time limits.
Any suggestions or personal reviews of applications appreciated.

The treatment of uncinariasis may be considered under three headings: First, the prophylactic treatment, or that directed toward the prevention of infection by the hook-worm; second, the means used to cause the expulsion of the parasite; third, the treatment of the anemia and debility resulting from the infection.
Prophylaxis is of very great importance, and is a subject which requires careful consideration. It seems probable that infection takes place chiefly through the mouth, either in infected water or food, or through contaminated hands, which carry the parasite to the mouth. Looss, however, has apparently proven that the larvæ may penetrate the skin. A possible entrance through the air passages has also been suggested, but does not seem probable.
A most important fact, and one which greatly simplifies the treatment of uncinariasis, is that there is no increase in the number of parasites in the intestinal tract of the victim. Each

Updike: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Fan
January 14, 2015 | by Jeet Heer
"I can't remember the moment when I fell in love with cartoons, I was so young," John Updike once recalled in Hogan's Alley magazine. "I still have a Donald Duck book, on oilclothy paper in big-print format, and remember a smaller, cardboard-covered book based on the animated cartoon Three Little Pigs. It was the intense stylization of those images, with their finely brushed outlines and their rounded and buttony furniture and their faces so curiously amalgamated of human and animal elements, that drew me in, into a world where I, child though I was, loomed as a king, and where my parents and other grownups were strangers."
This is one of many passages where Updike talks about his childhood love of comics, a theme that recurs not just in essays but also in poems and short stories. What deserves attention in this passage is not only what Updike is saying but the textured and sensual language he's using when he recalls the "oilclothy paper" and the "buttony furniture." His tingling prose, where every idea and emotion is rooted in sensory experience, owes much to such modern masters as Joyce, Proust, and Nabokov, but it was also sparked by the cartoon images he saw in childhood, which trained his eyes to see visual forms as aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, the comparison with Nabokov is instructive since the Russian-born author of Lolita was also a cartoon fan. The critic Clarence Brown has coined the term bedesque (roughly translated as "comic strip-influenced") to describe the cartoony quality of Nabokov's fiction, including its antic loopiness, its quicksilver movement from scene to scene, and its visual intensity. I think one reason Updike felt an affinity for Nabokov is because they both wrote bedesque prose. Read More »
The Philosophy of Your Word Processor, and Other News
October 27, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- April 1975: Updike and Barth hung out in Baltimore. They ate some soft-shelled crabs and visited Poe's grave. "I don't think we're very unlike," Updike later wrote. "We're both sons of the hard-working, temperate Middle Atlantic region, twice married, depression-conscious, and stuck with the belief that there is such a thing as American littrachoor."
- A lost Malcolm Lowry novel, In Ballast to the White Sea, is soon to see print for the first time. Lowry spent some ten years on the book, which was lost when his home in Vancouver burned down in 1944. He'd left an early copy of the manuscript with his first wife's mother; it wasn't rediscovered until 2001.
- Wash your hands of Microsoft Word and its misguided Platonism: embrace WordPerfect. "Intelligent writers can produce intelligent prose using almost any instrument, but the medium in which they write will always have some more or less subtle effect on their prose … When I work in Word, for all its luxuriant menus and dazzling prowess, I can't escape a faint sense of having entered a closed, rule-bound society. When I write in WordPerfect, with all its scruffy, low-tech simplicity, the world seems more open, a place where endings can't be predicted, where freedom might be real."
- Virginia Woolf to Katherine Mansfield, 1921: "I'm in the middle of my novel now, but have to break off, of course, to make a little money. I shall write an article on Dorothy Wordsworth, and so pay for our new sheets."

Raiding Updike's Garbage Cans, and Other News
September 2, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- In the years before John Updike died, a man began to steal a lot of his garbage—thousands of pieces, actually, including "photographs, discarded drafts of stories, canceled checks, White House invitations, Christmas cards, love letters, floppy disks, a Mickey Mouse flip book, and a pair of brown tasseled loafers." Taken as a whole, the collection amounts to a kind of secret history, a trash biography. ("My life is, in a sense, trash," Updike said in his Art of Fiction interview.)
- "How does one choose books that one knows one is going to enjoy? The obvious answer is that you can't … Think of all the times we start a book that we think we should be reading—because everyone else is reading it, because it's won a prize, because our book group has chosen it, despite our misgivings. And think of all the times we refuse to abandon a book we are not enjoying—because we are peculiarly puritanical about literature—thus creating an antagonism and a reluctance that must damage our relationship with reading."
- This year's Venice Biennale, an architecture show, "reveals that modernism was never a style. It was a cultural, political, and social practice: the practice of making buildings suited to certain exigencies of life in a rapidly changing and developing world. And since, by definition, the question of how and what it meant to 'make something modern' changed over time and space—different in Finland than in Morocco—so also did the design of the buildings that emerged from it."
- In which the keening of a single blue whale teaches us something about loneliness.
- What kind of worker is a writer? On Tillie Olsen, who wrote in dribs and drabs while holding down menial jobs and raising four children: "Writing, Olsen reminded her readers, takes time, education, energy, and resources, and these things are unevenly distributed. She encouraged us to attend to unorthodox writing produced in unfavorable circumstances—letters, diaries, scrapbooks like her own—and, in doing so, to question what counts as literature."
Under the Volcano
July 21, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
I think that the difference right now between good art and bad art is that the good artists are the people who are, in one way or another, creating, out of deep and honest concern, a vision of life in the twentieth century that is worth pursuing. And the bad artists, of whom there are many, are whining or moaning or staring, because it's fashionable, into the dark abyss. If you believe that life is fundamentally a volcano full of baby skulls, you've got two main choices as an artist: You can either stare into the volcano and count the skulls for the thousandth time and tell everybody, "There are the skulls; that's your baby, Mrs. Miller." Or you can try to build walls so that fewer baby skulls go in. It seems to me that the artist ought to hunt for positive ways of surviving, of living.
That's John Gardner, from his Art of Fiction interview, which The Paris Review published in 1979—three years before Gardner died in a motorcycle accident. As far as lines in the literary sand go, this one seems defensible enough: make salutary art, wall off the volcano, protect the crania of your babies, et cetera. But here Gardner has given us the distillate of what had been, a few years earlier, a very controversial opinion; he's paraphrasing his thesis from On Moral Fiction, a polemical book of criticism in which he took to task nearly every prominent American writer, pissing off a good number of them in the process. As Dwight Garner wrote a few years ago, "It wasn't Gardner's thesis, exactly, that made him enemies. It was the way he indiscriminately fired buckshot in the direction of many of American literature's biggest names."
Pynchon? Too inclined to "winking, mugging despair."
Updike? "He brings out books that don't say what he means them to say. And you can't tell his women apart."
Barthelme? Merely a disciple of "newfangledness."
And the whole New Yorker crowd? Too into "that cold, ironic stuff … I think it's just wrapping for their Steuben glass."
If you're thinking that picking fights is a pretty poor way of seeding one's literary philosophy, you're completely correct. As Per Winther, the author of The Art of John Gardner, has written, "One cannot help but think that Gardner's cause would have benefited from less stridency of tone … What Gardner risked in couching his arguments in such bellicose terms was a hasty dismissal of his book and all its views."

Swinging for the Fences
July 1, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
A certain literary quarterly graced Page Six this morning, and it's not because we're in rehab or recently posed nude or hosted a tony, freewheeling charity dinner in Sagaponack—though we aspire to do those things, ideally all at once.
No, it's because we have a damn fine softball team.
Fact is, The Paris Review Parisians are on something of a hot streak; in our five games this season, we've met with defeat only once, at the hands of The Nation. And we play a good clean game: no pine tar, no corked bats, no steroids (unless you count the occasional can of Bud Light). We believe, like Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham, in the Church of Baseball. It was only a matter of time until we attracted the attention of the gossip rags. Says the Post of our game against Harper's last week,
"A string of 'Parisian' homers" put eight more runs on the board … the "mercy rule" was invoked—meaning nobody kept count … A spy said of The Paris Review's crew that also pummeled The New Yorker two days earlier: "Their team was so good-looking and so coordinated, I could hardly believe any of them actually knew how to read. Let alone know what to do with a semicolon."
The print version of the piece puts an even finer point on it: "Literary sluggers in rout," its headline says.
In just a few hours, the Parisians—now well acquainted with the art of being vain—take on Vanity Fair, itself no stranger to Page Six. What's at stake is more than just bragging rights: it's what John Updike called, in "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu," "the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill."
Nails by Ray Bradbury, and Other News
March 31, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Discovered in Harvard's library: three books bound in human flesh. ("One book deals with medieval law, another Roman poetry and the other French philosophy.")
- One of the perennial dangers of interviewing writers is that they may turn the experience into a short story, with you in it. "Updike had transcribed—verbatim—their exchanges, beginning with the helpful suggestion that the interviewee drive while the interviewer take notes, and extending to trivial back-and-forth unrelated to the matter at hand."
- The estate of Ted Hughes has ceased to cooperate with his latest biographer, barring access to Hughes's archives. "The estate was insistent I should write a 'literary life,' not a 'biography.'"
- Writing advice from James Merrill: "You hardly ever need to state your feelings. The point is to feel and keep the eyes open. Then what you feel is expressed, is mimed back at you by the scene. A room, a landscape."
- Go on. Give your fingernails that sexy, on-trend Fahrenheit 451 look. You deserve it.

Speeding violation nets DUI citationOctober 07,2013
Stop for speeding
nets DUI citation
WAITSFIELD A Warren man, who state police claim was speeding down Route 100 in a 40-year-old Volkswagen late Saturday night, is expected to be charged with driving under the influence when he is arraigned next month in Barre.
Police say they pulled over a 1973 Volkswagen Karmann operated by 64-year-old David Campanelli at approximately 11 p.m. Saturday. Campanelli, police allege, had been driving in excess of the posted speed limit.
During the course of the traffic stop, police arrested Campanelli for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was later released on a citation to appear at the criminal courthouse in Barre on Nov. 7. He is expected to be charged at that time.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

Nervertop.. thats typical of Chelski & Manshitter Utd fans.. if it's their own player whose done something similar.. it's no big deal..
Yet if it's a LFC player all hell breaks loose..
Double standards indeed.

Feel free to start threads criticising Chelsea and United players of cheating.
The odd thing is, if it's an LFC player it's almost certainly Suarez.

This lovely village lies very close to the coast with Sheringham and Cromer a short distance to the east and the beautiful north Norfolk coast stretching away to the west.
The town, which can easily be explored on foot, is located on wooded high ground, and its name is believed to come from the Anglo-Saxon word for woodland. Most of the original medieval town was destroyed in a fire in 1708, and all but the church was rebuilt in Georgian style, the dominant style of the day. The Norman church was repaired and retained.
Visit the Holt War Memorial and the pineapple-topped obelisk and take a stroll around the country Park, Holt Hall and Estate, Holt Lowes or Spout Hills. Holt Country Park, situated a short walk from the town, is a beautiful native broadleaf and Scots Pine woodland, which supports a variety of flora and fauna. Holt Lowes, an area of heathland to the south of Holt, is also an important wildlife area. The ''Poppy Line'' of the preserved North Norfolk Railway has a terminus just outside the town.
There are numerous antique shops in the town. Holt Summer festival, a week-long arts festival, runs in July. The town centre is beautifully decorated and lit up during Christmas, and the lights are believed to be the best in the country.
The nearby coast has many beautiful beaches. Morston and Blakeney are closest, with the larger resorts of Cromer and Sheringham a slightly further drive along the coast. Birdwatching, walking, driving along the scenic coast road and sampling the local seafood are among the activities available along the coast.
Check out Holt holiday cottages for great accommodation in the area, and see for yourself what this beautiful area of Norfolk is all about.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities say a man was arrested at an Orange County freeway checkpoint after U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered 33 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in his car.
Border Patrol spokeswoman Mary Beth Caston says a police dog alerted agents to the drugs inside a 2007 Dodge Caliber at the stop near San Clemente Thursday evening.
Agents pulled a total of 23 bags from the left "rocker panel" area of the car.
It's worth an estimated $300,000.
The suspect, described only as a 24-year-old man, was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Most of the repairs were to replace the one-lane bridge's
running boards.
The total includes $158,000 which was being spent on repairs
that began at the start of last month and are due to be
completed at the end of this month.
The running boards are the timber boards under the chip seal.
They are what vehicles directly drive over.
About 35% of the boards are being replaced now.
New Zealand Transport Agency Otago senior network manager
John Jarvis said the boards being replaced were more than 10
years old.
Some years there was no repair work but on average $49,000
was spent each year which Mr Jarvis said was ''quite normal''
for a timber deck bridge with a high level of traffic.
A new $18 million two-lane concrete bridge is on the cards,
but not until after 2016.
Mr Jarvis said a concrete bridge would require significantly
less maintenance.
Some damage to the timber bridge, which is part of State
Highway 6, is caused by grit applied during winter to guard
against black ice and other damage was through ''wear and
The repair work being being done now would mean a smoother
drive and less rattle from the decking.
From March 6 the bridge has been shut between 11pm and 6am
for the repairs, with only 10 minutes on the hour allowed for
motorists to get across.
To minimise disruption the closure is from Sunday night to
Friday morning.
Mr Jarvis said the work was on schedule to be completed by
the end of the month, when the bridge would be open as usual
in time for the busy winter season.
He said no significant repair work was planned for next year,
although the agency would ''keep an eye'' on the bridge and
it was possible minor work could be done.
''It's just like any other asset we have,'' he said, and
added there was nothing structurally wrong with the bridge.
The planned new two-lane bridge has long been sought but
would not be built until after 2016 and would take two years
to construct.
Design and construction of the new bridge is included in the
agency's 10-year state highway plan.
Mr Jarvis said a concrete bridge would likely only require
resurfacing every 15 years and ultimately, should be ''very,
very low maintenance''.
2005: No work.
2006: $99,300 spent. Replaced running boards,
tightened bolts and repaired pier cap.
2007: No work.
2008: $42,200 spent. Replaced running boards, repaired
wheel timber guards.
2009: No work.
2010: $150,000 spent. Replaced running boards,
decking, asphalt and sealed.
2011: $30,000 spent. New bolting to running boards.
2012: $15,500 spent. New deck bolts, repaired walkway
deck and handrail.
2013: No work.
2014: Spending $158,000. Replacing running boards and

Walmart Employee Fired for Telling Customer Not to Keep Dog in Hot Car
A Walmart employee's concern for animal rights has gotten her fired.
A Walmart employee's concern for animal rights has gotten her fired.
Learning how to navigate the stairs is tough, especially when you have itty-bitty legs.
Even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, miracles can occur.
While we can't know for sure whether dogs really dream—we've asked ours a hundred times, can't get a clear answer—it's hard to reach any other conclusion after watching these pooches.
If you've been considering adopting a new four-legged family member, please come to PetSmart this Saturday during the PetSmart Charities National Adoption Event!
This special adoption weekend will be held at more than 1,210 PetSmart stores nationwide. When you adopt during this event you will receive free food for your new pet as well as coupons for savings up to $250!
We're not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs.
At first, it's a little unnerving to see a big ol' dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby.
It's not just our dogs who have trouble on these agility courses, we humans do too.
Dogs have a peculiar relationship with lemons (and limes and oranges—any citrus, really).
This looks like it could actually be quite a bit of fun.
Sometimes a dog just doesn't feel like it. Feel like what, exactly? Anything. So he just lies there, on the ground, and if you want him to move, well, good luck with that.

OKLAHOMA CITY (December 24, 2013) A man who was shot and killed in a fight with his girlfriend over the weekend in Oklahoma City was wanted in Texas in connection with the shooting death of a woman in 2007 in North Richland Hills, police said.
Willie Boley, 36, was shot Sunday.
Police declined to discuss details of the shooting, but did say the woman has not been arrested.
Her name was not released.
Boley was wanted in connection with the December 2007 shooting death of Marianne Wilkinson, 67, in North Richland Hills.
Authorities think Boley was hired to kill another woman, but went to the wrong house and shot Wilkinson instead as she opened the door.

We all have troubled projects that are at risk of not achieving their expected business outcomes. These watermelon projects, which appear green on our project dashboards but are actually red if we dig deeper, are all too common in agencies' project portfolios.
CEB research shows that as many as 30 percent of projects in an average portfolio are troubled at some point during their life cycles. Some 20 percent of projects eventually fail, wasting significant time and money without delivering expected benefits to the agency or the public. Even more disconcerting is the fact that 20 percent of organizations don't know whether they have troubled projects. (It is fairly safe to assume that they do.)
In government agencies, troubled projects typically arise for three reasons:
Our research with PMOs across industries suggests that more effective management of troubled projects can save organizations up to 8 percent of total annual portfolio spending. The most progressive organizations realize that early problem identification and escalation are among the best ways to bridge the gap between expected and actual project returns. And they use three key risk-mitigation techniques:
Effective strategies to mitigate troubled projects can significantly expedite fixes that typically occur late in the project, increasing the likelihood of success and cost avoidance. To see returns on those strategies, PMOs need to actively engage project stakeholders in spotting and fixing problems and create a culture that encourages, rather than penalizes, early problem identification and escalation.

I'm sorry, but I feel this article totally missed the mark. In my experience (multi-agency, both as a fed and as a contractor), the issue is a failure of leadership. In too many cases, known problems are not fixed, failed processes are retained, and good processes are not used. Often, federal organizations are over managed and under led.

Students are returning to campus. College football kicks off the 2015 season in five days.
Also, I am hoping the vote on the UND nickname is coming soon. To be honest with you, over the last couple of weeks, I have grown tired of it as well. I can live with whatever happens as long as UND isn't named the Sundogs.
Jordan Simon from St. Paul says that No Nickname option shouldn't be allowed. Fine, I am cool with that if we eliminate the Sundogs option. I am good. I can live with that.
Per the Grand Forks Herald:
Congratulations to UND President Robert Kelley on his upcoming retirement. But before the president goes, the community needs one last thing from him, which is that he refuse to allow the No Nickname option to advance to the public vote.On Friday night, I was enjoying the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series at River Cities Speedway. When all of a sudden, my twitter feed blew up. Some UNO fans had taken issue with the paragraph below. Some even wanted me to ban Redwing77 from ever posting again.
Continuing with that name is just an attempt to be known as the hockey team that had its name taken away by the NCAA.
This is a hockey-only fight, and the groups kicking and screaming for North Dakota don't care about the rest of the university or community. The people who will raise a ruckus already don't like Kelley; why should he care what their reaction is?
It is in the best interest of the community to move on and pull this Band-Aid off.
It's fine to have positive feelings about the old nickname. People see it as a symbol of their favorite team; I still have clothes with the logo on it, and there are pictures of me wearing those clothes.
First that's never going to happen, unless Redwing77 attacks someone with what I would consider a malicious attack or uses racist material in one of his posts, I am not firing him. Besides Redwing77 is a good friend of mine.
Perhaps it is a ridiculous idea. Perhaps UNO and SCSU will relent closer to the game like DU did. Perhaps UNO's policy is strictly due to the fact that they're desperate to bring new business to a new arena. I don't know. The Mavs, here in Omaha, get a pathetic following even compared to the USHL Lancer team.The UNO fans were upset because Redwing77 called UNO's following pathetic. If you look at the numbers, UNO was sixth nationally in attendance last season. Initially, when you look at that, it appears to be an impressive feat. However, Maverick fans only filled 37.4 of their building. So, does he have a point. I don't know. It's still better than 53 other teams.

A three-girl-on-two-guy mini-orgy also helps keeps things interesting. And Gabriella and Caprice give a nice double b.j. in the last scene; then look even better placed back-to-back in piledriver.

alex is coming off an hand injury. his opponent is an unknown quantity, as mid east asian boxers often have deceptive am careers before turning pro.
if you decide its an easy fight for alex, im sure he doesnt treat it this way. if you still think so you have to ask WHY the WBO want the fight......
the WBO leads to vlad. alex is creating so much interest with his exciting style that has decided he deserves his shot. the WBO know that alex is probably the most exciting, dangerous, well credentialled, crowd pleaser in the world.
its also no mistake that a member of his team has created chances for other fighters get many world title shots in germany.
drop your prejudices kkkel, TC, and the rest of you. get behind alex. he hasnt put a foot wrong as a tryer. he climbed the ladder, taken his wins stepping up against world class fighters, just as hes taken his losses. win, lose or draw, we know alex will thrill us while vlad is still standing.....
Fighting for Chancey and Tua's titles? Why not fight Tua for them?

I re-installed and upgraded WordPress -- 2.1.something. . . how do I determine the exact version?
I cannot create new categories or delete old pages.
When I try to create a new category, the form fields clear and nothing else happens.
When I try to delete old pages, they appear to delete, but when I go back in to check on them, they are still there. And they're still there on the site.
I'm working out of Safari and have tried emptying my cache and reloading.
This seems to be a common problem. I can't find any solutions in the posts I've read, however, so I'm hoping that someone will be able to help. Someone suggested that it might be because the upgrade failed to completely install and offered a link to a forced upgrade script, but it was for an older version.

Hot Mama! Hilary Duff Lost All the Baby Weight! (Photos)Sunny Chanel
Hilary Duff is looking amazing! The new mom was in no rush to loss those pregnancy pounds but after a year she's done it, on her own schedule. She talked about this recently saying, "There are some women who look the same right after — I think they are freaks of nature! I don't know how that happens," she told Parents magazine. "I'm not one of those people. It takes your body nine months to get there — really 10 months. So I'm trying to be patient but I'm working hard. And I think now more than ever, I appreciate my body and what it's done for me."
How did she do it? "My one trainer helped me lose a sh&* ton of weight," Duff said to Us Weekly. "I lost like 30 pounds. His name is Gabe Johns and he is amazing. He's a boxing trainer and he comes to my house. I live in the canyon, so we just run. He runs my ass up and down the hill."
Check out pics of Hilary's amazing post baby bod here!
