Everything fine.. good point to explore the wonderfull town prague! thnx a lot Jan.. see you soon again :-)
Best regards from Dominique
The apartment is fine and just five minutes from downtown. As negative note only that there was some dust on furniture. The perfect host. He came to hand over the keys at the time and was very friendly
El apartamento está muy bien y a sólo cinco minutos del centro. Como nota negativa solo que había algo de polvo en los muebles. El anfitrión perfecto. Llegó a entregar las llaves a la hora y fue muy amable
It was a good stay. The location is quite central floor. It is a bit tired and bed a little hard but it is important in these trips is spending little time there so it does the job.
Ha sido una estancia buena. La localización del piso es bastante céntrica. Es un poco viejo y la cama un poco dura pero lo importante es en estos viajes es pasar poco tiempo allí así que cumple su función.
ideally located downtown, near bus station, quiet building, silent, but careful not to be too picky about cleanliness.
idéalement situé, centre ville, proche gare routière, immeuble tranquille, silencieux, mais attention à ne pas être trop regardant sur la propreté.
the apartment was clean and good located, metrostation 5min away. on the picture you cant see, but the shower is in the kitchen :) its not sooo bad, but if you are with other people you have to organize... ¨the owner jan was nice and explained a lot about praque.
I strongly advise people to stay away from this apartment - dirty, and generally in unhealthy condition. The staff refused to cancel our reservation, thus we had to pay for not staying there. Booked in to a hotel 500 meter closer to the centre for the same price.
Apartment perfectly located in the historical Prague. 2 steps from all the main monuments and tram / metro. Very friendly service (airport transfer and enjoy poss January tips). Quiet and functional apartment (nothing to take, all equipped).
Appartement parfaitement situé au milieu du Prague historique. A 2 pas de tous les principaux monuments et tramway/métro. Accueil très sympa (poss de transfert de l'aéroport et de profiter des conseils de Jan). Appartement calme et fonctionnel (rien à prendre, tout est équipé).
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The Apartament was located in a good position but was no perfect to clean and inside there are dust too. The baths were small.
Only good price and location nearby the the turistic attractions.
Flat position was quite good. Ten min. walk to Republik sqare. Flat was not very clean but main problem is that the shower and bathroom facilities are weirdly placed in the kitchen. Only a curtain separates the to small areas. Quite odd...Overall the price is too high considering the general state of the flat.

Republican candidate for governor Carl Paladino is reversing course, saying he may secure a "Taxpayers" minor party line for the general election after all if he loses the Republican primary in September.
The result could be a split of the Republican and conservative vote. Front-running Republican designee Rick Lazio has the Conservative Party line.
On Wednesday, Paladino said he wouldn't be a spoiler for the Republicans by continuing a run in November if he loses the primary. He says that would help Democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo.
Paladino says he will decide after the GOP primary whether to keep running on the line favored by the tea party movement. He says he says tea party activists were upset at the plan to abandon an independent line intended to attract tea party voters.

Hi. :)
I'm trying to change the text properties on my image captions. I'm able to change the alignment, border, even the font weight (etc.) here:
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text
However, it doesn't respond to actual text changes (e.g. font-size, etc) at all.
Firebug shows me it's pulling that information from the CSS class:
#content p, content li
Unfortunately, to change those classes properties would force me to change the way all the text in the entire post displays. How can I change the caption text properties without changing the rest of the post?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Ace: This guy is a clown. If he really wanted to honor his son's sacrifice then he should follow in his son's footsteps in doing what is necessary to protect this country, which is to seal up the borders and stop all Muslims and Mexicans from entering into this country. I do understand that not all mexicans and muslims are bad, and many do want a fresh start however the way that these people can get a fresh start is by applying for legal residency the proper way instead of demanding it after they violate our laws. Also to the people that believe stooping muslims from entering this country is islamophobic I have one question to ask, if you cannot tell who is friendly and not friendly as well as receive threats that the enemy will sneak in as friendly people looking for asylum, then why would you allow any of them in with out deciding who is friendly and who is a threat? The same analogy can be made with why employers will do back ground checks on future employees or why land lords will do back ground checks on future tenements, because the people in charge wants to know who they are dealing with before the applicant can do anything dangerous, so how is this not any different from what trump wants to do with muslim immigrants?

By Mr. Stephen Satkowski (USACE)June 24, 2014
Construction on the future United States Army Corps of Engineers Far East District headquarters building began as ground was ceremonially broken June 20 on land adjacent to U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys. The building will offer a central location for district employees to provide the day to day administrative, construction and engineering services in the Republic of Korea.
"I think it's historic that we have broken ground on a brand new headquarters building that will be completed around the time the district celebrates its 60th birthday," said Col. Bryan S. Green, district engineer and commander.
Brig. Gen. Kang, Chang-koo, Director General of Program Management, Ministry of Defense United States Forces Korea Relocation Office, said the teamwork between the district and MURO since the Land Partnership and Yongsan Relocation Plan agreements were signed in 2004 has been excellent.
"Many challenges, big and small, lie ahead of us, but I'm not worried because we as a team are strong enough to accomplish the mission," said Kang. "Thanks to our partnership the Yongsan Relocation Plan is now [well underway]."
At the ceremony a three-person shovel, used in construction in the mid- to late-20th century in Korea, symbolized the close partnership between the Far East District and its Korean partners.
"One of the first pictures taken in district history in 1957 was of three Koreans from [contracting firm] Daelim [Industrial] operating a three-person shovel," said Green.
Representatives from Daelim, which will build the new facility, United States Forces Korea Base Relocation Project Management Office, and Korea Land and Housing Corporation joined Green to mark the occasion and help bury a time capsule, which will be opened at the building's ribbon cutting.
"We used a piece of the past to bury a guest book filled with messages to welcome the future residents of the building," said Green.
The building is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016.

Changing Laws Can Change Your Life
Find the Right Advisor: seek out advisors, attorneys and other professionals who fully understand the unique planning needs of LGBT couples.
Healthcare Decisions: consider executing a healthcare proxy and a directive to physicians or a living will to designate an agent (e.g. your partner) to make medical decisions on your behalf and to outline your specific wishes with regard to critical end-of-life decisions.
Execute a Will: be specific in making your wishes known. Lacking a will, the identity of your heirs is determined by the law, not by you. A will and/or trust specifying your intentions can help transfer your assets to your partner if that is your choice.
Consider a Durable Power of Attorney: a power of attorney provides one person the financial authority to act and sign on behalf of another, and therefore can be used to authorize your partner to make financial or business decisions for you if you become incapacitated.
This only scratches the surface, it's critical for LGBT couples to think through the complexities of financial planning in the midst of an evolving legal framework. Continue to educate yourselves, have important conversations with each other, and surround yourselves with professionals to help guide you through these fast-changing times.
Wells Fargo & Company and its affiliates do not provide legal advice. Please consult your legal advisors to determine how this information may apply to your own situation. Whether any planned tax result is realized by you depends on the specific facts of your own situation at the time your taxes are prepared.

Wednesday Smalls 'n' Bensday: Special Doggie Door Edition
Tim got the dogs a new present, and so far they are very confused about it.
During the summer, when we have the doors and windows open so we don't melt into puddles of goo on the couch, we are constantly peeling ourselves off the couch to let the dogs in and out. They hear a noise outside and need to go bark in the yard. Then they realize they're outside and we're inside and they want to be with us so they need to come in. And then they hear a noise outside and need to go bark in the yard. And, repeat.
Fun as it is to go through this cycle approximately 1,000 times/night, Tim decided to put an end to it and install a doggie door in our screen door. They're very skeptical of the contraption, naturally, and so far refuse to go though it unless we hold it open with a piece of cheese on the other side. The concept of pushing through it themselves is downright terrifying. Nobody is surprised by this.
I'm sure that in time they'll figure it out. They'll be desperate enough to go outside and bark at a noise that they'll just run though it (much like Smalls tried to run through the screen pre-doggie-door yesterday afternoon) and realize all the freedom and joy that come with the doggie door.
Until then, I expect there will be a lot of coaxing on our part, and a lot of cheese eating on their part.

I have a custom post type called 'news' and an archive template (archive-news.php), here I'd like to show 2 posts with pagination, this is the code I'm using:
Which shows the two posts OK, but when I try to go to the next page (/news/page/2) I'm taken to a 404 page.
Any idea how to fix this / what I'm doing wrong? I've tried various snippets of code, all of which produce the same problem.

I need to put up a link to a video on a page, but I have a question. if I used something like this:
Play a video file
It opens in a new window (well, the same window, new page), and I wanted to know, doesn't the person viewing the video have to have something to view the video in installed to their computer or else it would prompt them to download something, is that right?
The client I am doing the site for wants something more like a link that opens up the video, maybe in something like a lightbox or something. Is there a plugin out there that can do this? He doesn't want the video actually embedded on the page, but I also don't think he will want the viewer to have to download anything to view the video. Is there a way around this? Or like I said, a plugin that does what I'm looking for?

I just saw some brown spotting when I wiped, nothing on panties. DH and I DTD yesterday, but I'm still concerned because I had nothing with DS.
Brown spotting??? Tmi
I know how worrying spotting can be in pregnancy, however try not to stress over it too much. I bled with both my pregnancies and have 2 healthy boys! My sister is currently 11 weeks and she has had on off spotting, a few days ago after dtd too and all is fine with her. my friend is 8 weeks and she had been bleeding too, but again all is ok. I think it is more common than we realise
Can you get an early reassurance scan?
You probably irritated your cervix when dtd. Hope this puts your mind at ease
Im sure u r right. I don't have any cramping either. I guess I just get nervous because other than being tired, I don't have any preggo symptoms, but it is still really early.
I used to get spotting after DTD as well!
i've had brown... stuff.. my entire pregnancy. I've been checked multiple times by my OB - ultrasound and all and everything is fine.
Had same problem today. Brownish blood that turned red. Wasn't a lot but still went to the er. Everything is fine though.
Star I'm so glad to here everything is fine!!!
My doctor told him not to worry. I haven't had any since that day either. Thank god
I've had very light brown spotting for a week. Looks like it is finally all clear today. WooHoo. From reading, I saw that it is not that uncommon. Some women have some blood at the time their period is each month, others just have random bleeding. Glad yours went away.

When you need a good cry
I'm sure you've all been there, watching a movie or show or listening to a friend's story and you think "If ONLY they were poly, there'd be a happier ending."
Tonight, I was feeling like a good, sappy movie and found Take This Waltz, a truly beautiful film. I recommend it to anyone who feels in need of a good cry. Or maybe I'm just that much of a sensitive guy. Or... whatever, it's a good movie, I loved it and you should watch it. I felt like sharing, as it really just reinforced all the truth I've been discovering in myself through this poly-adventure so far.
Note of caution, it's rated R for nudity, etc.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a great Monday night!

I recently saw some bogus posts on my wordpress site, so remained calm and visited http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked. After changing my password, I still saw malicious activity so I changed the access keys according to the above site (using WP's automatic key generator).
Once I changed the keys, overwriting wp-config, my wordpress site became unusable, and I get the message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/10/9558610/html/wp-config.php on line 1
Is there any way for me to get the site back? What could I have done by changing the access keys that would affect things in this way?
Please help!

Where were we?
Oh yes, Wednesday we departed the delightful Omni hotel in downtown St. Louis and stopped by Whole Foods to pick up sandwiches for our drive on Thursday, which would be the long, final haul on I-70 through Kansas and Colorado – we knew it would be hard to find vegan food so we were planning ahead! Plant-based meals for our Wednesday drive, however, would not be a problem because we stopped at FüD in Kansas City. We ordered two sandwiches to go, the Jack Reuben and the Eggysalad.
The reuben is made with jack fruit and the eggysalad with tofu. Both delicious!
We arrived in Topeka in the afternoon and opted for hotel room service for dinner. The conversation with the kitchen went like this: [click to continue…]

Poor ventilation in a tight building can create a health hazard.
Building retrofit projects and green materials boost energy efficiency, but they may also produce some unwanted results – health problems for the building's occupants.
According to a report by the Institute of Medicine, an independent nonprofit that provides unbiased, authoritative health advice, some green projects and materials can limit or alter air flow in buildings. This can then concentrate indoor pollutants, such as chemical emissions and tobacco smoke, and affect IAQ. Climate change can amplify existing indoor environmental problems and introduce new ones, according to researchers.
Other potential sources of pollutants and irritants include:
"Efforts to save energy by improving building performance need to be accompanied by strong caution with respect to changing building ventilation rates," the report's authors wrote.
"Energy is required to condition the temperature and humidity of ventilation air, so individuals and organizations may seek to save energy by reducing the rate of ventilation of indoor spaces. … A lower building ventilation rate will tend to provide enhanced protection against some pollutants from outdoors, but reduced ventilation rates tend to cause concentrations of pollutants that originate primarily from indoor sources to increase."

New Mono Here and New to Poly

New Mono Here and New to Poly
I am a mono female who is trying to figure out if I can be in a poly relationship.
I have a long post (sorry) about the specfic details that brought me to thinking about poly under the New to Poly section if you want to look. I will try to keep it short here.
My husband and I are extremely close and love eachother very much. We have been married now for 12 years and have 2 kids. Recently he came to the conclusion that he is poly and has been all of his life, but hiding it from me and himself because he felt it was wrong. He told me this and that he wants to try and explore this about himself.
I am trying to figure out what all of this means and will mean for his, my, and our childrens' lives and happiness.
I know that I am mono, but I also know that I love my husband and I want us to both be happy. I am hoping I can find some wisdom here (and I already have, thanks!) about some possible roads we can take to get there for both of us. I already feel so much better after reading the posts here because I see that I am not alone (even though society tries to make it seem that way).

Camping, With Convenience
Instead of pitching a tent or roaming the great outdoors in a recreational vehicle, travelers increasingly are interested in staying in plusher accommodations in campgrounds—we are talking private bathrooms, kitchens, air conditioning and even flat-screen television sets.
Rental units—sometimes small cabins and sometimes prefabricated transportable units made to look like small cabins—are gaining traction with travelers and campground owners across the U.S.
"They do extremely well," says John Croce, a managing member of a collective that owns and operates nine campgrounds in the western U.S. At Yosemite Pines RV Resort & Family Lodging in Groveland, Calif., his group has installed about six new rental units every year for the past several years. These now occupy 30 of the campground's 200 RV sites, he says. But those rental units account for about 39% of the campground's revenue, says Mr. Croce. Rates for the campground's rental units range from about $80 to $200 per night. Depending on their size, the units can sleep four to eight people. By comparison, a basic tent site costs about $25 a night, depending on the season.
Campground owners and franchisers say the rental units are attracting a new kind of camper—one interested in the great outdoors, but happy to sleep in a bed and have access to a private bathroom or other amenities. "You are sleeping on a pillow-top mattress and you have a flat-screen TV," says Mike Atkinson, director of lodging at Kampgrounds of America Inc. which owns and franchises 475 campground locations. "But you can still go outside and have s'mores."
Most popular with campground owners are the pre-fab transportable rental units, known in the industry as "park models." That's because those units are officially considered RVs, and therefore don't require building permits or other regulatory fillings to install, reducing their capital cost. The cost for a park model ranges from about $30,000 to $50,000, depending on amenities, furnishings and transportation costs. To keep up with demand, KOA campgrounds installed about 371 park model units this year, up from some 225 in 2009, and about 190 in 2008, says Mr. Atkinson.
While camping overall has proved resilient in a down economy, revenue from the rental units is particularly strong. Last year, the number of occupied nights in rental units rose 8% at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts campgrounds, while traditional camp site nights rose only about 1%, says Rob Schutter, chief operating officer of Cincinatti-based Leisure Systems Inc, which franchises 76 of the campgrounds in the U.S. and Canada. Leisure Systems is a subsidiary of Park River Corp.
Oil Spill Deters Some Travelers
It appears the oil spill in the Gulf is having an effect on travelers' July 4 plans. On Priceline's annual list of top Independence Day destinations, New Orleans, which ranked No. 1 last year, dropped to 26th spot this year. And Destin, Fla., typically a popular Gulf location during July 4, fell off the list entirely. Each year, Priceline tracks hotel-room purchases over the holiday weekend, using data from its "name your own price" services, for which travelers must prepay their hotel reservation. The most-popular destinations this year are the Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park area in Chicago, Downtown St. Louis, Mo., the Harbor Front and Aquarium neighborhood in Boston, the southern downtown area of Toronto, and the North Michigan Avenue and River North area of Chicago. Last year, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and Seattle occupied the top five spots.
Buy Inflight Wi-Fi on the Ground
Aircell, an Itasca, Ill., based company that provides in-flight wireless Internet access through its Gogo service, is allowing travelers buy a monthly subscription to the service from any computer on the ground. Previously, travelers could only purchase subscriptions while in flight.
The Gogo Unlimited monthly subscription includes unlimited connection on all Gogo-equipped flights. The subscription is automatically renewed every month, but can be canceled at anytime.
When purchased on the ground, Aircell's service is available for an introductory $19.95 for the first month, instead of the standard $34.95.
Aircell now provides in-flight Wi-Fi on select planes for eight airlines in the U.S.
At 16 Detroit-area and Toledo, Ohio, Red Roof Inns, stay between July 2 and July 5 and pay $17.76 for the second night of any two-night stay. Your first night must be no later than July 4. To book go to http://redroof.com/red-hot-deals/great-deals-for-july-4.

Federation of Watercolor Societies Show: Painting with watercolors is challenging and unpredictable
Jason Olson, Deseret News
Painting with watercolors is challenging. It can be unpredictable, unforgiving. The paint can leak or streak. The water can buckle the paper.
But those are the very things that make you appreciate watercolors all the more when they are done well.
And well-done is exactly what you will see at the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 2010 Show that opens Friday at the Cultural Celebration Center, says Maura Naughton, president of the Utah Watercolor Society, a member of the federation.
"This is some of the best watercolor in the West — in the country. We're honored that so many great artists continue to enter this regional show," she says.
The annual show rotates among federation members, so it only comes to Utah once every 10 years or so. Or so, because there are now 11 societies in nine Western states that belong to the federation, and each takes a turn hosting the event. So this is a rare chance to see exceptional work, she says.
The juried exhibition will showcase 101 works. Members of the Utah Watercolor Society entered some 1,100 pieces. "Out of those, 10 were accepted into the show. But out of those 10, three are among the award winners," says Naughton. So that says a lot for the quality of work being produced here. "Our society is on the small side, with 300 members."
One of Naughton's pieces, a portrait of her mother, was one of those winners. The other Utah prize winners are Janice Hall and Nancy Maxfield Lund. The juror was Carla O'Connor, from Washington (a state not part of the federation). "I was impressed with how decisive she was," says Naughton.
"She knew just what she wanted. Her focus was on design. She looked for an original perspective, a center-of-interest that was not in the center. The jurying process is always subjective," says Naughton, but she thinks people who come to the show will appreciate both technique and subject matter. Both are very diverse.
Nowadays, says Naughton, people speak of "watermedia" artists. "That includes any water-soluble medium, such as watercolor, but also things like acrylic and gouache. Most artists paint on paper, but now there are some synthetic papers, such as 'Yupo,' where the color sits on top more."
Like the works, the artists are also varied. Naughton has "been an artist all my life," studying at Highland High School and Westminster College. "Then I joined the Army for 25 years and was gone. But the thing about watercolor is that it is so portable. It fit so well with the 'duffle bag drag.' I always liked to keep my paints with me."
Watercolor is the most challenging of all mediums, says Steve Sheffield, a former president of the Utah society, who has also taught watercolor for the past 17 years. He likes to paint on synthetic papers. "They are sealed surfaces that allow for more spontaneity."
Like anything else, some people are better at watercolor than others. "But when it sings, it looks better than any other medium," he says.
The look is one thing that draws people to painting watercolor, but there are a lot of other reasons people do it.
Nancy Lund started to paint "when I was going through a divorce. I could just check out and be happy. I've done oil, collage, jewelry, but watercolor is my favorite. I love the way it looks. I love all the options. I love the wet-on-wet approach."
Besides, she says with a laugh, "it's non-toxic. You can do it on the kitchen table and not worry about poisoning your children."
Sue Martin also loves to paint. "I love the freedom of expression I feel with watercolor. I like to watch what the paint does. There are many happy accidents, I can tell you. The better artists learn to take advantage of them. It is harder to control what the paint can do."

Teenagers shot at toilet-papering principal's home in Franklin County
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- October 31, 2013
TEENAGERS who were covering their school principal's home with toilet paper were shot at.
One of the teenagers, aged 15, was hit several times by shotgun pellets.
"He got peppered pretty good," Franklin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sergeant Chris Guess said, Times Free Press reported.
The teenagers were covering the yard of the home of Ken Bishop, the principal of Huntland High School in Estill Springs, Tennessee, when they were shot at.
"Some kids got out at a residence over there to roll it with toilet paper and this gentleman came out of his residence a couple of houses over and shot one of the teenagers who was rolling this other guy's yard," Sgt Guess said.
Dale Bryant Farris, 65, a neighbour of Mr Bishop, fired at least two shots with the pellets striking the teenager in the right foot, inner left knee, right palm, right thigh and right side of his torso above the waistline.
"The problem is they were not on his (Farris') property and they were not doing anything to his property," Sgt Guess said.
Farris, who has been released on a $125,000 bond, has been charged with aggravated assault and another of reckless endangerment.
Mr Bishop did not seek to file charges against any of the teenagers, some who attended his school, said Sgt Guess.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Vic Chesnutt, the folk-rocker whose sometimes

Family friend Christina Stuckey, who answered the phone at
Chesnutt's home, confirmed the death to The Associated Press.
Chesnutt's record label, Constellation Records, said in a statement
on its Web site that Chesnutt died on Christmas Day, Friday.
The brief statement says "Vic transformed our sense of what
true character, grace and determination are all about."
Chesnutt worked with such notable artists as R.E.M. lead singer
Michael Stipe and guitarist Guy Picciotto of the punk band Fugazi.
Chesnutt said in a biography posted on his MySpace page that he

Veteran sportscaster Charlie Jones dead at 77
June 14, 2008
Charlie Jones, a La Jolla resident and Emmy Award-winning former sportscaster, died Thursday afternoon from a heart attack.
He was 77.
Jones and his wife, who grew up in the same small town in Arkansas, were four days shy of celebrating their 54th anniversary.
Jones started at ABC in 1960 broadcasting American Football League games. In 1965, he moved to NBC, continuing to broadcast the AFL – including San Diego Chargers contests – and later the National Football League.
He worked NFL games until 1997. During his time at NBC, he broadcasted the 1988 Summer Olympics, 1986 FIFA World Cup, 1992 Summer Olympics and 1996 Summer Olympics, as well as golf and Wimbledon.
Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports & Olympics, said in a statement: "All of us at NBC are saddened at the passing of one of the great pioneers of NBC Sports. His work in particular on the NFL, golf and the Olympics left a lasting legacy."
Jones mentored younger broadcasters, including Bill Walton, the former UCLA Bruin and NBA All-Star, and Jim Laslavic, sports director for NBC 7/39 in San Diego.
"He would encourage me with a note or a phone call once in a while," Laslavic recalled. "He was a terrific guy, and he had a great rapport with his audience. Charlie was interested in what he was covering. He always gave his subject his full attention, so he was interesting to listen to. He was always having fun, and that came across."
Jones also was a play-by-play announcer for the Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies.
In 1997, Jones was awarded the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award. He also received an Emmy in 1973 for his part as writer, producer and host of the documentary, "Is Winning the Name of the Game?"
Jones was born Nov. 9, 1930 in Fort Smith, Ark. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California and a law degree at the University of Arkansas.
The family is finalizing funeral arrangements.
