The Sinister Six: Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods), who wrote the script for the villainous Spider-Man spin-off The Sinister Six, is close to a deal to direct the movie as well. That's not a big surprise, since he was tipped as a possible director back in December when it was announced that he would be writing the screenplay. Goddard is also writing and directing the Daredevil TV series that will stream on Netflix. The Sinister Six is due to come out after The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which is scheduled for release on June 10, 2016. [Deadline]
Battlestar Galactica: Here we go again. The series Battlestar Galactica originally ran on broadcast TV back in the late 1970s before being reimagined by Ronald D. Moore — in splendid fashion — for basic cable in 2003. A big-screen version has been bandied about for years, with Bryan Singer evidently attached as director. Now comes word that Universal has hired Jack Paglen (Transcendence) to write "a complete reimagining of the story" — and no mention of Singer. [Variety]
The Wolf of Wall Street: The controversy created by Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is continuing in Russia. Three movie theater chains and two independent cinemas in the city of Novosibirsk have been fined by the local office of Federal Service for Narcotics Control. The fines total more than $ 100,000, and the charge is that the movie reflects "a subculture of drug abusers" and 'idealizes the use of illegal drugs.' Reportedly, an exhibitors' association in Russia has condemned the verdict. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Guardians of the Galaxy Clip: Director James Gunn shared a photo from behind the scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy, with Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan rehearsing for an extended fight scene. The first clip from the movie has also been revealed; it showcases "legendary outlaw" Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) as he is confronted by an enemy (Djimon Hounsou), and then whizzes through about a zillion more action shots. The movie explodes in theaters on August 1. [MTV]

The opening page of Nomad didnât fill me with hope. Although I have a soft spot for the Heroes Reborn era, Rob Liefeldâs character designs werenât the high point -- so when the first images in the series are of Liefeldâs versions of Captain America and Rikki âBuckyâ Barnes, complete with distorted perspective and dubious anatomy, my heart sank.
Mercifully, things got a lot better very quickly. Although Brubaker did bring Bucky back into the Captain America fold in issue #600, McKeever is the one tasked with parlaying guest appearance into workable concept -- and so it is that we find Rikki Barnes, the girl without a world, hoping to hook back up with Captain America. Or at least, what passes for him these days.
However, whether Bucky-Cap taking on a sidekick isnât just unlikely, itâs also a story for the pages of Captain America, not a spin-off mini. After skirting around the matter of Cap, things rapidly get back to Buckyâs situation. By the end of the issue, sheâs acquired a supporting cast, some villains, and a new identity -- one which should be no surprise to anyone whoâs read the title of the comic.
David Baldeon pencils, and his version of Barnes is appropriately fresh-faced, without being too chirpy for someone whoâs seen what Barnes has. Buckyâs rooftop movements seem particularly well-choreographed, and the high-school scenes are packed with detail and characters, but some of the more standard superheroic moments come across a little stiff. Even so, the artwork is generally very good, and if Baldeon sustains this level of quality throughout the series it should eventually make a nice-looking collection.
Although the idea of a high-school superhero outsider has the potential to become a weak Early "Buffy"/"Veronica Mars""/"Ultimate Spider-Man clone, McKeever manages to side-step that. Thereâs a focus on politics and espionage that mirrors the tone of Brubakerâs Cap, if not the scale of it -â weâre talking student politics, rather than national ones.
Because of this, anyone who picks up Nomad hoping for a new piece to Brubakerâs intricate Captain America mythos might be put off, because this is virtually stand-alone material. Itâs done very well, but whether its audience will find it is another matter. For that reason alone, itâs worth giving it a try -- whether youâre a Cap fan or not.

"Badaling - Great Wall & Ming Tombs" Top 5 Page for this destination Badalingzhen by victorwkf
Badalingzhen Travel Guide: 47 reviews and 188 photos
The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest monument in the world and the only man-made structure which can be seen in space. A visit to China will not be complete without visiting the Great Wall of China, and the great wall at Badaling area is one of the most easily accessible sections which is just about 2 hours outside Beijing.
Let me share with you some photos and experiences of my trip to the Badaling great wall in October 2006. I also visited the nearby tombs of the Ming dynasty emperors, which usually comes together with the great wall for a day trip. Hope the information and photos will be useful to you.
This photograph is taken on the great wall and it shows the mountainous terrain of the surroundings. It was really difficult building the great wall and many people lost their lives building this amazing monument of history.
This photograph shows the beautiful Soul Tower of the Chang Ling Ming Dynasty tomb, one of the 13 tombs of the various emperors of the Ming Dynasty in China. This attraction is located near to the Badaling section of the great wall.
- Pros:Famous ancient monuments & beautiful mountain scenery
- Cons:Touristy and crowded during peak seasons
- In a nutshell:There is a Chinese saying "You are not a hero if you have not visited Great Wall of China"

Déjà Vu Fire Season Off To A Roaring Start In Colorado
On Monday, Denver set a new record for the earliest date to ever hit 100 degrees. In addition to the heat wave, high winds and low humidity have stoked a series of wildfires along the state's heavily populated Front Range. Since erupting Tuesday, the fires have already destroyed scores of homes and forcing the evacuation of thousands of residents as federal firefighters and air tankers were rushed to the state.
The most destructive and worrisome fire broke out north of Colorado Springs, where last year the Waldo Canyon Fire — the worst in state history — consumed 346 homes and caused $353 million in damage. The Black Forest Fire broke out shortly after noon Tuesday, and had burned about 8,000 acres by this morning, damaging or destroying at least 100 homes and forcing the evacuation of about 2,500 homes and businesses, encompassing more than 7,000 people across a 24,000 acre area.
To the south, near Cañon City, the 3,800-acre Royal Gorge fire is threatening a popular tourist attraction, the Royal Gorge Bridge over the Arkansas River, and has prompted state corrections officials to evacuate about 800 prisoners from a prison facility.
Other smaller fires were burning in Rocky Mountain National Park and in southern Colorado.
Federal assets were being deployed, including a heavy air tanker based in Albuquerque, and helicopters from military bases in Colorado including Fort Carson outside of Colorado Springs.
The past decade has seen a sharp increase in the number of acres burned by wildfires. In 2012, 2007 and 2008 more than 9 million acres were burned, and the half dozen worst fire years since 1960 have taken place since 2000. A recent Department of Agriculture report predicts that the acreage burned by wildfires will double by 2050 to about 20 million acres annually.
The report's findings are in line with previous studies on climate change's relation to fire risk: a 2012 study found that wildfire burn season is two and a half months longer than it was 40 years ago, and that for every one degree Celsius temperature increase the earth experiences, the area burned in the western U.S. could quadruple.
At a briefing this morning on the Black Forest Fire, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said the blaze was at zero percent containment. "It's still a very hot and active fire area," he said, adding that a federal firefighting incident command team would take charge of the fire today.

The weather extremes and drought in Colorado have been in the local news for the past couple of days but it always takes something dramatic to get widespread attention. If you want to know what is happening you have to look for it.

"…a punishing dust storm slammed into Hixson Farms at full force, trapping Hixson and her husband, Dave Tzilkowski, in their home for 15 hours to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.
The storm was the worst of seven that have scoured the farm since November, Hixson said.
"We had periods of blowing soils in the 1970s that required tractor work," Tzilkowski said. "But this is ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it."
Dirt is almost all that people can talk about these days in communities along U.S. 50 and 287.
It's the inevitable result of three seasons of extreme drought in the area — D4 this year, the worst on the U.S. Drought Monitor scale, and no relief in sight, said state climatologist Nolan Doesken.
After three years of extreme drought, the soil of southeastern Colorado has been ground into a fine powder, like brown flour, that easily goes airborne."
From the Denver Post 6/6/13
"Darrell Hanavan, executive director of the Colorado Association of Wheat Growers, said one statistic is particularly telling: Already 20 percent of the wheat acreage planted in Colorado is a total loss, and the number could go as high as 30 percent by next month.
"That's an absolutely shocking number," he said.
Overall, wheat farmers are reporting dismal conditions. A survey last week of Colorado growers by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service showed 60 percent of wheat farmers reporting poor or very poor crop conditions. A year ago at this time, just 23 percent reported in at poor or very poor."
From Big Picture Agriculture 6/10/13
"I recently traveled South from here in Boulder to central New Mexico, and the fields most of the distance as far as my eyes could see were brown and barren. These conditions span thousands of square miles. A completely brown landscape along this route is not normal for late May. These large areas might also start to blow dirt if given strong winds like the 60-MPH ones that caused the dust bowl conditions here in Colorado recently."
Dr. Masters has a post up on these fires.
I would point out the MODIS shot of Colorado, he placed on the page . There doesn't appear to be any snow pack left in the San Juan Mountains, or the Sangre de Cristos.
And pine ark beetles, too
Here in SE Utah we're experiencing much of the same as Colorado. Our mountains are bare of snow and we're seeing 100+ temps already. I'ts unbearably hot and the animals have no place to flee, as the streams are drying up. Utah's reservoirs are not filling up and many lakes are almost dry. Water restrictions are already in place for lakes like Ken's Lake (reservoir) near Moab.
Oh well!!! Barack Obama and the Chinese premier agreed to reduce CFCs in the developing world-that should take care of it!
Everything west of the 100th meridian , the Donner Summit saw 17% of normal snow pack on May 1st. Going to be a hell of a water year. Some weird brown float on Lake Meade …..
Dead Fish and Strange Brown Foam at Lake
Climate change has now become personal. My younger sister's house, which was almost entirely built by her husband about 20 years ago, and in which she raised her two children, was destroyed Tuesday in the fire.
No, climate change did not "cause" the fire. But my family, which has been living in Colorado since 1973, can tell you that the kind of heat and droughts they've been experiencing are not normal.
The loaded dice were rolled, and my sister and her family lost.
I'm sorry. I hope no one in your sister's family was injured.
Eventually there will be nothing left to burn, because the forests will not recover at normal rates in conditions of perpetual drought. Colorado will become Arizona (as will most of California, at least as far North as Francisco).
Thank you for posting this. It's important that such information is made available on a national/ international format. The beginning of Dust Bowl conditions, long predicted, is certainly worth noting.
I grew up in Colorado Springs and Boulder, and know the region well. Farmers there have always struggled with dry conditions, and it makes sense that this area would be the first to go over the edge, so to speak.
Thank you. They had some time to gather items and evacuate before the fire came. So no injuries.

Recap: 'Fringe' - 'An Origin Story'
Peter and Olivia grieve in different ways in tonight's pivotal episode.
"You don't even know what you don't know."
Thus sayeth a captured Observer to Peter Bishop in tonight's episode of "Fringe". But it also sounds like a showrunner talking to his or her audience, as well. Part of the fun in reviewing a show on a weekly basis is the opportunity to capture immediate reactions in real time. The downside, of course, is that you're always operating with only part of the overall puzzle revealed at any given time. Just as Peter tries to assemble a cube that might deal a crippling blow to The Observers, those following along with the show on a weekly basis are constantly evaluating and re-evaluating how to fit the pieces of the show together in order to produce a coherent image. "An Origin Story" doesn't fill in all the gaps, but certainly provides some sense of where things might go over the last eight hours of the program.
To wit, the title refers to Peter's "birth", if you will, as an Observer. Of course, the word "Observer" in and of itself has always been problematic, much in the way that "The Others" was always a troublesome moniker on "Lost". Both are insufficient terms to collectively describe that which is unknown. Given what we know about how Peter and Olivia reacted after Etta disappeared as a child, it makes sense that Peter would take a more active role in avenging her death than Olivia would. That doesn't make Olivia's approach weaker than Peter's. In fact, the episode ends siding with her in terms of her moral and emotional dealings. But this was The Peter Bishop Power Hour, by the end of which he has successfully removed a piece of tech from the Observer's spine and affixed it to his own. He's either The Six Million Dollar Man or Locutus of the Borg.
What an idiot.
Still, he's an idiot in a way that the show intended, which makes the decision unfortunate but keeping with the world established at this point. Many of you astutely prognosticated in the comments last week that Etta's death set up a possible situation in which Peter could re-stage his own version of the original sin of the show: Walter's abduction of him as a child. I didn't think that far ahead, since thinking ahead in this show has led me down too many incorrect paths over the years. But it felt right from the moment I read it. So when I saw The Observers open a window to another time and place, I thought we'd see an attempt of that re-enactment tonight. Instead, the show took a different approach, using the spirit of Walter's action in 1985 and letting Peter put his own spin on things.
Like I said, shoving that semi-omniscient needle into his neck was an extremely dumb maneuver on his part. But it's designed to be dumb, which justifies the decision to have Peter lose his mind while going all "Man On Fire" on the Observer. Learning about his decision to press on looking for young Etta while Olivia went back working for Fringe Division in the season premiere rang false, since we only heard about that choice anecdotally. We didn't have any context. All we had was exposition. It's one thing to hear about it and another thing to see it. And while "Fringe" rebooted its reality in Season Four, Peter Bishop remained the one true character who has remained the same since Day One. So you can quibble all you want with the massive time leap and insane compression of this final season storyline all you want. (I have before, and probably will again!) But I couldn't argue with this turn of events as the sadly inevitable result of what had come before. I couldn't have predicted it, but it seems now like a logical series of events.
I don't watch the previews for upcoming shows, and I hope we can avoid talking about them in the comments below. But the insertion of Observer tech into Peter's brain brings up plenty of plotlines over the last half of this final season. The plotlines in and of themselves don't particularly interest me, especially if "Fringe" drags out "people notice something is off about Peter" for 4-5 of the final installments. But the moral questions of Peter's decision tie in deeply to the show's core question: namely, "What does it mean to be human?"
Pondering just how Peter's new form might be related to the giant "RESIST!" signs that popped up all over town the instant he took off to torture the Observer is cool and all. (I welcome and any all theories you have below in the comments.) But let's get back to the quote that started this review: "You don't even know what you don't know." It's true that we don't know how those signs showed up, but the show ostensibly will answer it in due time. I'm content to not ask questions about that until the show's ready to reveal it. What I am interesting in asking are the types of philosophical queries that genre shows like "Fringe" excel in posing. Are we doomed to be the agents of our own unmaking? Is grief a curse or a blessing? Do science, medicine, and engineering help us unlock our humanity or in fact close it off? What function does life serve if it always ends in death?
"Fringe" at its best has always served up interesting conundrums such as these within fantastical procedural drama coupled with serialized narrative. The introduction of this post-apocalyptic setting semi-obscured these elements in favor of world-building. And Etta's time on the show was too short by far, because I don't miss her so much as grieve for Olivia and Peter. That's not to say that fourteen episodes would have solved the problem, unless those fourteen episodes were dedicated to making us care about the Bishops as a united family. Etta could have only been in a single episode and had an effective death, had the show earned her iconic stature. Desmond Hume and Penny Widmore earned their place in the "Lost" pantheon in the second season finale of that show. It's totally possible to fall in love with a character in just a single installment. Those of you that did grieved for her. I grieved for her parents, who never got the proper onscreen time to truly bond with their re-found daughter.
Still, I buy that Peter and Olivia would mourn the way they did tonight, so I'm ultimately talking about degrees of success rather than any thought of failure. It's somewhat cheeky for me to write, "Why did we get her back, and then lose her again?" But it's absolutely devastating to hear Olivia say it, and it's even more powerful to hear Walter try to offer his sadly expert advice on dealing with grief and loss. I tweeted earlier today that while I've had issues with the past two seasons of the show, television will be less interesting as a whole when "Fringe" is gone. And much of that has to do with Walter Bishop, and John Noble's portrayal of him during the show's run. He's trying to comfort Olivia in the scene in question, offering up a tape of Etta's birthday party as a healing agent for two grieving parents. But Walter is barely there himself, which makes his efforts to help Olivia that much more affecting. Watching that mixture of fragility and strength in tandem was wonderful to behold, and I'll gladly take all the Walter I can get in the little time remaining on the show's run.
A lot of tonight's episode featured Olivia and Peter gazing at their own reflections, searching to identify the person staring back at them. How these two find their way back to each other will chart the course of the final run of the series. I have a feeling the show will starting pointing its way back to 1985 before all is said and done. Whether or not it decides to reboot things one last time is anyone's guess. Only Joel Wyman know how to put the show's narrative cube goes together when all is said and done. Let's see if he produces something shocking or simply something that singes all who observe.
A few more thoughts about tonight's episode:
*** "That's my girl!" Peter's line early in the episode was both awesome and sobering simultaneously.
*** Still no Nina this season. No Broyles this week. And poor Astrid might never leave the lab again in this series.
*** If Peter starts developing a taste for really, really, REALLY spicy food, I'd start to worry.
*** Walter's explanation for destroying the wormhole was the best episode of "Mr. Wizard" ever.
*** During the interrogation scene, I kept flashing back to this past week's episode of "Homeland". Carrie Matheson would be an incredible Fringe agent.
*** I was going to quibble with Etta's birthday party being on VHS, but then theorized that Walter would have simply grabbed his camera from the lab before attending the party.
What did you think of tonight's episode? Did Peter's decision at the end shock you in a good way or a bad way? If the show ends with history rewritten and Etta alive again, how would you feel about that? Sound off below!

"Ghostbusters": 10 Facts About the Franchise You Thought You Knew
If your modern Stone Age family is looking to relocate, you may want to consider Bedrock City. The entire town can be yours for 2 million clams.
ABC News reports the 43-year-old Flintstones-inspired Arizona theme park, located 30 miles south of the Grand Canyon, is being sold by its owner, who's ready to retire.
What store owner Dave Downey called "the final chapter in the great Flintmobile Heist" came to a close Saturday as the three teens the replica appeared at World's Best Comics and Toys in Sacramento, California, dressed as the Flintstones for Free Comic Book Day. And, of course, there's video and photographic proof.
As we previously reported, the teenagers stole the 200-pound Flintmobile from in front of the store in mid-December, only to be apprehended about a month later. Instead of pursuing criminal charges against the apologetic culprits, Downey had a better idea: They could do some work around the store. However, this wasn't just any work. As the retailer revealed last week, it would involve the trio dressing up as Fred, Wilma and Barney to help promote the store's FCBD activities.
Luckily for the three teenagers who in December stole a replica of the Flintstones' car from outside World's Best Comics and Toys, owner Dave Downey doesn't have a heart of bedrock.
So when the apologetic thieves were caught just weeks later, and the 200-pound Flintmobile returned to the Sacramento, California, store, Downey declined to press charges, sparing them time in court and possibly even a criminal record. Instead, agreed to do some work at the store.
The replica of the Flintstones' car stolen last month from in front of World's Best Comics and Toys has been recovered by police and returned to the Sacramento, California, store.
According to the Merced Sun-Star, surveillance video from a nearby bowling alley captured footage of three high school-age suspects loading the 200-pound vehicle — it's actually a wooden raft with two metal 55-gallon drums instead of wheels — into the back of a truck. That enabled Sacramento County sheriff's deputies to track the Flintmobile to a ranch in El Dorado County.
Sacramento retailer Dave Downey is offering a reward for the return of the latest addition to his store, World's Best Comics and Toys — a replica of the Flintstones' car.
He tells Fox 40 the Flintmobile — a gift from a customer, who made it for a water parade — had been on display outside his Watt Avenue shop for just two weeks before it went missing over the weekend. Stealing the vehicle wouldn't have been an easy task, either: It's actually a 200-pound wooden raft with two metal 55-gallon drums instead of wheels; it's meant to float, not roll.
"The perpetrators did not just get in and pedal away," Downey says. "It is pretty terrible. How can you steal a Flintstones car?"
Threadless has a fetching new T-shirt aimed at spreading the word about the growing epidemic of dog owners who won't pick up after their pets. The shirt features various cartoon and comic strip dogs and their owners, um, doing their thing, including Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, and Homer Simpson and Santa's Little Helper. If I ever had the urge to wear a shirt featuring dogs dropping a deuce, which I haven't, this would be the shirt for me.

About Levi32
Masters student in tropical meteorology at FSU. Raised in Alaskan blizzards, but drawn toward tropical cyclones by their superior PGF.
By: Levi32 , 5:13 PM GMT on August 16, 2012
Visit my new home at http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/
The deep tropics are quiet today. Tropical Storm Gordon has formed way up in the northern Atlantic, and may threaten the Azores as likely a tropical storm in a few days, but could become a hurricane before that time. Overall, he is not a significant threat, but illustrates again how storms this year are waiting to develop and strengthen until they are well north of the tropics.
Of interest in the near-term are the remnants of tropical depression 7, which are currently over central America. Last week I flagged these remnants as a potential redevelopment issue in the western Gulf of Mexico due to the robust mid-level wave signature that has remained with the system despite the dissipation of the surface circulation. A weakness in the ridge over the western gulf due to a trough digging into the south-central U.S. over the next few days will be drawing TD7's remnants northwestward along the coastline of the western gulf. This trough is forecasted to take its sweet time in leaving the scene, and will cause the pattern to remain rather stagnant for the next 6-8 days or so. An old frontal boundary will be dropping down over the northern gulf during this time in association with the upper trough, and could provide a focus of convergence to allow redevelopment of low pressure very near the Mexican coastline.
The evolution of a pattern where an upper trough is moving eastward to the northeast of a tropical disturbance can be favorable for development because of the high pressure that develops on the back (western) side of the upper trough, promoting surface convergence and piling up of air near the tropical disturbance. Dry air off the continent can initially be an issue for the disturbance in this situation, but as the upper trough gradually moves on, the surface high pressure also moves eastward, and eventually opens up a moist southeasterly flow into the disturbance, making dry air less of an issue and igniting significant convection due to the still existing low-level convergence. I illustrate in the video above how this happens on last night's 0z ECMWF run.
Overall, development chances will largely be modulated by proximity to land, whether TD 7's remnants bury themselves in Mexico or end up 50-100 miles off the coast. With this system having the opportunity to spend several days near the coast with 30C SSTs in the western gulf, tropical development could eventually occur. The models are only showing hints of development right now due to the uncertainty of land interaction, but they were showing nothing last week, and have slowly started coming around to the idea that this could potentially develop in our back yard next week. Regardless of development, this pattern favors a rain event coming to the northern Mexican and Texas coastlines, possibly Louisiana as well, as this tropical moisture surge interacts with the old frontal boundary that will be draping itself across the northern gulf.
We shall see what happens!

Jupiter Creek Ukuleles
Jupiter Creek ukuleles are made in Australia by Rob Dick. They are usually electric ukuleles and look very much like tiny guitars (he also makes electric guitars and mandolins).
His website is well worth taking a look at, particularly the section on the Australian timbers he uses.
There's an extensive review of a Jupiter Creek ukulele here. It's generally a good review, but there's one point worth noting: "While the ukulele looks great from a few feet away, closer inspection reveals that it has some finish flaws. To his credit, Rob is very upfront about the fact that his fit and finish is not up to the same level as some of the other custom instrument makers. However, neither are his prices."
On Video
Technically, this is a Jupiter Creek electric mandolin, but it has four strings - so I say it's a ukulele.

I've got the 2.0 beta installed and I have only found one problem - so far - is that the footer in the default theme is squint, ie not aligned properly with the rest of the page
I've got the 2.0 beta installed and I have only found one problem - so far - is that the footer in the default theme is squint, ie not aligned properly with the rest of the page
Which browser? Fine here with FF 1.5RC3....
Not having that problem either. IE 6, FF 1.0.7 and 1.5RC3
I don't see that problem either. FF v1.0.7
FF v1.5RC3. I've uploaded a screenshot to my wordpress.com account so you can see what I mean. However the problem has NOTHING to do with wordpress.com (I put the image there for bandwidth reasons), the problem is on my wp2.0 blog on my own server - I've tried the usual tricks (Ctrl+Reload, clear cache etc.) and they don't seem to make a difference.
AH! Wow...that's crazy. I'm not sure it matters in this case or not, but have you executed /wp-admin/upgrade.php?
Also, is this an upgrade or a fresh intsall?
It's an upgrade (from the latest 1.5.x version, whatever that is) and I ran upgrade.php after copying the files over HOWEVER I deleted all the old version files (keeping the 1.5.x database) before uploading the new stuff
[EDITED] Sorry for double post. Damn sensitive touchpad.
But, the real question is, why does it display incorrectly in your FF v1.5RC3, but not in vkaryl's and uberwerks's? Would you mind temporarily turning off all or your extensions and switching to FF's default theme? Remember to clear your cache too. That's about all that I can think of that may make your FF v1.5RC3 different from vkaryl's and uberwerks's.
Once again, I'm not noticing any such issues in any of my browsers (IE6/XP, FF/XP or Safari/OSX). This appears to be a caching issue.
If a CTRL+F5 doesn't work (and you've verified in other machines/browser and you've also deleted your webcache, it may be at an ISP/proxy server level.
Well, mine's NOT running the default FF theme, though. Not sure if that would matter.... I have the aquatint theme running....
I was using the iFox theme, but removing all extensions and switching to the default theme does not seem to have made a difference - I've also just tested it in IE 6 and it works fine. Also, a reinstall of Firefox (from a clean installer download) didn't make any difference.
I suggest that you add a comment to this Firefox bug report:
(Though, I still don't know why vkaryl and uberwerks aren't seeing the problem.)
Tonight, when I looked back, I can see a little jog in the footer. Probably I was earlier looking for something much more obvious. Looks like about 3 pixels is all, and I wouldn't probably have noticed it had my screen res not still been sitting at 800x600 (for some tweaking I'd been doing). So then of course, I can see it at higher resolutions as well, since I now know what I'm looking for.
I actually don't have any bright ideas.... I don't mess with kubrick EVER.
Then I highly suggest that you all submit comments to that bug report. I don't use betas and RCs anymore, so I can't verify the bug in FF 1.5RC3, but I can tell you that his footer looks perfect in FF 1.0.7. If you have FF 1.5RC3, and see the problem in Mr. Cynical's footer, you should add a comment to that report. This bug needs to be fixed before FF 1.5 goes final.
I have this problem as well, except mine only does it on the 'Pages' page (it works fine for archives, search, whatever.) The page seems to load fine and when it gets to the part where it actually displays the footer, it jogs a little to the side. Where your seems to just squint the actual footer, mine goes for the header. Very annoying. Annoying to the point where I just removed the <?php get_footer(); ?> (sp?)function from the template page. I see it in just IE, haven't tried it yet with FireFox.
Since I had modified the theme so much, I had thought that it was my own doing; good to know someone else has the same problem so at least now I know that I'm not going crazy.
I added the function back in, just in case someone wanted to see what I was talking about. Check out anything listed under the TimeKillers (actually the Pages) section.
website: http://www.geekweekonline.com
Well, just for my own enjoyment, I went ahead and installed the newest FireFox and I do not get this problem with FireFox 1.07, I only seem to get it with IE 6. So I got that going for me.
That is significant - if you are getting it in IE then it is a WordPress problem and not a Firefox one.
No, I think that Jasoomian's problem is a separate issue. Otherwise, Mr. Cynical, you would see your problem in IE. But, Jasoomian sees his problem in IE, not in Firefox. And, you see your problem in Firefox, not in IE.
Jasoomian, in order to avoid confusion, I recommend that you open a new thread for your issue.
I couldn't find the issue Jasoomian was talking about in my IE, but his site is in fact affected by the Firefox bug we've been discussing.
EDIT: This is a WORDPRESS BUG (in the Kubrick theme). Here's the extract from the CSS that is causing the problem:
#footer {
padding: 0 0 0 1px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
clear: both;
That '1px' is what is causing the shift - and Firefox shifting the footer is actually correct behaviour. The reason it doesn't occur in IE is because IE doesn't fully conform to the CSS standard (as we all know) and just ignores the shift.
Setting the padding to 1px is a workaround for a bug in IE. Fox 1.0.x copes with that workaround. Fox 1.5 doesn't.
If you set the padding to 0, the theme will look fine in Fox but have a similar pixel shift issue in IE.
You can find more detail (including a workaround) in this thread
It isn't a matter of Firefox 'coping' - Firefox complies with the CSS specification, so Firefox is in the right. It's a bug because the code does not display a proper footer when interpreted according to the W3C standard.
It's squarely an IE problem. I think Microsoft will be a thousand-year appendix to the history of computing, but it's like the choam corporation or something. I think the real future is opensourced, and DVORAK keyboarded. That aside.. while we're talking hacks, here's a doozie (that I'm actually using!)
#footer {
position: expression("relative");
this way IE evaluates these expressions.. but the rest of the browsers (and someone please correct me!) just ignore it.
THe remaining prevailing opinion is to use code that is instead invisible to internet explorer:
#footer {
padding: 0 0 0 1px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
clear: both;
body > #footer {
padding: 0;
as indicated. here: here
I do believe this may be the futureproof.. in the event that expressions will be incorporated into css sometime in the future. but the pendulum could swing both ways I feel at times.. if ie adopts firefox' features or firefox ie's. or maybe not. who really remembers any more. so which is better.. is this problem reducible to css expressions yay or nay?
If I liken microsoft to the choam commpany it is only as a pleasantly romantic notion.
Thanks to Jeremy Visser for making up a .diff with my supplied fixes for that issue. =) I attached the .diff to ticket #1941 in the trac.
Demo of the "fixes" in action on a Plain Jane Default 1.5 theme, here at my Demo blog.
If someone could modify the files, that would be awesome! =) Hopefully this gets added in before 2.0.4 is released. ;)
Also, I have the "Fixes" for that same header/footer shift for while viewing it in IE7, so when that get's officially released, Jeremy can just make up another .diff then, containing those fixes for IE7.

Cute babes are the attraction.
Of the three scenes presented here, the first and the last, both threesomes, feature the best action. The opener, involving a gal we've seen elsewhere identified as "Mia," spends a bit too much time on b.j.s and handjobs, and for some of the penetration, the camera could have been better placed, but overall, it's worth watching. The finale has the best looking gal, though it would have been nice if she removed her bra. However, her reverse cowgirl ride on one of her studs makes the scene memorable, and will keep viewers on the lookout for more of the lady's work.

Platteview scratched out a pair of goals and topped the Nebraska City boys' soccer team 2-0 Monday night.
Pioneer Coach Jesssica Rice said one of Platteview's goals occured on a free kick and one was the result of a goal keeper/sweeper error.
The frustrating part of the Pioneers' loss is the fact the Rice knows her team is capable of better play.
"We are hoping to put that game behind us and move forward," said Rice. "We didn't play like I know we know how to play. We need to play together and focus on possessing the ball.
"We also need to look to shoot," said Rice. "Goals win games and we haven't been able to find the back of the net. I have faith in these kids and I know they will continue to do good things, it is just a matter of time."
The Pioneers, 0-2, will play at 6 p.m. Thursday at Waverly.

T-Paw gets help from his Hollywood friends
Probably the most hilarious aspect of contemporary American conservatism is the near-lethal dose of doublethink that courses through its proverbial veins. For example: who hasn't heard right-wingers characterize all of Hollywood as a cabal of communists conniving to convert the "real America" into plantation of socialist zombies? And yet Hollywood has produced two Republican governors of California, one of whom went on to become a two-term president and conservative icon. One of the greatest Hollywood actors of his generation presided over the NRA for half a decade. If anyone can come up with three liberal screen actors with that kind of influence on the nation's political scene, we're all ears.
In yet another example of the Right's love-hate relationship with Hollywood, presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty will welcome Screen Actors Guild members Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammer to the Hilton Minneapolis today for a fundraising extravaganza. The gala will kick off the Minnesota governor's leadership PAC.
Voight will appear in person and warn those present that America "is at a clear crossroads," according to Variety. The star of Frasier couldn't make it in person to the real America, so instead will offer some words of encouragement via speakerphone, presumably from his Beverly Hills mansion.
Things are expected to get extra-crazy tomorrow when Voight joins forces with Michele Bachmann to storm the U.S. Capitol to try to stop health care reform. We'll keep you posted.

Skip to comments.John Edwards suicidal over possible jail time, magazine claims
Posted on 04/18/2011 7:02:38 PM PDT by presidio9
A newspaper claims former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards would reportedly kill himself before he is forced to go to jail.
Edwards is under investigation for improperly using campaign funds to cover up an affair he had with a woman in which a child was conceived while he was still married to the late Elizabeth Edwards.
A grand jury has been meeting near Raleigh, and recently, a key witness in the case was re-interviewed.
According to The Daily Mail, the National Enquirer has written that Edwards told a friend, 'I won't go to jail. I'd kill myself first!'
The statement was reportedly made after Edwards' legal team informed him in early March that there was a strong chance that he could be indicted.
According to the National Enquirer, Edwards has lost nearly 20 pounds in the past year and his friends believe he has been "escaping reality" with alcohol.
"I think John is suicidal," a friend of Edwards reportedly told the Enquirer. "He knows that if he's indicted, prosecutors will try to get him to serve jail time and make an example of him."
The Enquirer says Edwards is also concerned about what will happen to his children if he winds up in jail.
"John isn't hiding the fact that he's terrified of going to prison," a source told the Enquirer. "But he's also extremely distraught about what will happen to his children."
Former campaign aide, Andrew Young, wrote in his tell-all book that 100-year-old heiress Bunny Mellon gave Edwards a gift in the amount of $700,000. Young claims that money helped fund the cover-up of Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, who at the time, was pregnant with Edwards' out-of-wedlock child.
Andrew Young also told WRAL TV in a previous interview that Fred Baron, a wealthy attorney in Texas, financed flights and paid rent on a California home for Hunter.
"I heard one of the jets used for Rielle to fly around the country was $55,000 to $60,000," said Young.
Young went on to say the house in which Baron rented for Hunter cost $20,000 a month. Baron died from cancer in 2008, but his widow testified in front of the Grand Jury in Raleigh earlier this year.
Investigators have also interviewed Mellon twice, and some of her family members have also testified before the Grand Jury. Young says Mellon never knew what her donation was used for.
Mellon's donation and the alleged cover-up of Edwards' affair with Hunter are the focus of the Grand Jury's investigation which could result in an indictment against Edwards.
To good to be true.
National Enquirer, plus this conclusion comes from his comment "I'd kill myself before I'd go to jail." OTOH, batted 1.000 on the rest of this story.
I can help.
Elizabeth's revenge.
You'd think jail would be like Disneyland to the Breck girl. Didn't Martha Stewart learn all about tongue & groove cabinetry and such in prison?
The Silky Pony is all played out...
He won't settle for the juzcao
No longer able to ride 'em... & rope 'em....
(yes.... correct vowel)
Sounds like the end of the trail....
Off to the Great Roundup...
Sad story... all around...
Jail; that "other" America Johnny was talking about on the campaign...
This is the man MILLIONS of liberals wanted for out President ...threatening to kill himself if he is forced to answer for his own actions.
(Damn! I wish this website had an edit function.
Anybody know if Rielle is still his eternal soul mate?
... and prep-h for when the rope breaks...
The suicide talk is an attempt to persuade the judge in advance.
At least Martha Stewart didn't act like a baby.............
Who can he sue now?
and if he got elected, they would have been willing to burn the world to make sure he never did have to answer for it.
He just needs some good Cellies for company. Obama..Gore..etc.
See ya scumbag.
So he's not worried about what will happen to his children if he kills himself? What an immature, narcissistic pansy of a man!
Johnny bet on a win. Because as we all know, once they win, they're untouchable (Spiro Agnew exception to the rule.)
I'll contribute $0.12 for a 22 LR (one will be all it takes if he does it right) and it will be the first $ I ever donated to a Liberal (he will be getting a 2fer)
"John Edwards suicidal over possible jail time, magazine claims"
Won't this save on green house carbon gases?
Clinton had sex with an intern the age of his daughter IN THE OVAL OFFICE and is still hailed as a hero of the left.
Obummer plays golf and vacations constantly, runs up the debt to astronomically levels, blames others for the problems he has created, mouths hypocritical lies every other breath and is basically a despicable person who delights in humiliating his political opponents. A devider not a uniter to say the least.
Just the unstable sort of ****head a Dem would want at the highest levels of government.
Now, she insists she was never a fan of his.
"and if he got elected, they would have been willing to burn the world to make sure he never did have to answer for it."
You mean like the hoards of Obama-ites are, in their protection of the One?
Oh, in that case let him go,
in case he wants to run for presidente again.
Jus' preserve his haircut!
"you sure have a pretty mouth"
I have a friend who has a sister who knows a guy who used to deliver pizza to John Edwards house, and he said.....
Not to worry, he loves himself too much, he would never kill himself and deprive us all of his wonderful presence.
Not to worry, he loves himself too much, he would never kill himself and deprive us all of his wonderful presence.
Always wondered what happen to A thru G preps?
I'll donate $5 in case he's nervous and requires a second, third, fourth, ........., attempt.
Wow Bunny, how about shoveling some of that money my way? I promise to put it to much better use than Johnny did.
All that said, what a tragic case for everybody involved. Satan has certainly been at work in these people. Gotta feel sorry for Edward's kids.
you sure have a pretty mouth
Down south its "purty mouth"
The Toon and 0 would probably react in a similar manner.
Bunny Mellon!
Was she a stripper when she was young?
Edwards started Hillary's kick to the curb with the phrase, "Now, Hillary" during an early 3-way debate. Obama was there and double-teamed with Edwards, but that was the moment when Her Heinous realized that she was not going to be coronated, but would actually have to fight a campaign.
It was an intoxicatingly delicious moment.
Here's a snapshot of The Creature when the realization started to hit:
And here's a discussion of part of it.
People forget, but Edwards wife was a really close friend of Hillary's and very much as nasty and sadistically cruel as her mentor. Given how fundamentally rotten Silky Pony is, it's easy to blame Elizabeth for Edward's problems now.
But John Edwards isn't fooled.
He knows Hillary wants to make an example of him, as a message to anyone who wants to be a traitor this time around, when she goes for the brass ring yet again.
On the other hand, anyone who actually believes she'd ever forgive anyone's betrayal of her is a fool, and deserves what she'll inevitably give them.
In other words, it's way, way too late for anyone to go back now! LOL!
Too much of a chicken $h1t to do himself...
True, but they don't need to be traumatized any more; losing their mother; the breakup of the family, etc.
