I got 17.26 after a couple tries, I think it goes in the same pattern if you can get it down. You can get at least 10 seconds by right away going to the bottom then make your way up to the top left and stay there for another 8 seconds, then it speeds up and is harder.

Why should I be surprised that nothing changes in Dunedin?
Unless it was a ploy again to herd us like cattle at the

You have to ask why again we are met with long lines of
people wishing to buy overpriced drinks with just one outlet
open to serve almost 7000 people.
It's crazy that you have to wait up to 30 minutes to buy food
and drink.
The whole structure and management from in charge should be
asking questions why we have to wait so long to get served
and then wait again while just four cashiers take our money
with wine at $9 a bottle gets handed over without even a

doing nothing.
I have been to large football stadiums catering up to 70,000
and never experienced such poor service!
The word appalling and I won't be back springs to mind.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- James Blake won his first competitive match since October, beating qualifier Jesse Levine 7-5, 6-1 in the first round of the SAP Open on Monday.
Blake had not played since losing to Lukasz Kubot in the first round in Vienna this past October because of shoulder and knee injuries. Blake, a 10-time winner on tour who was once ranked as high as fourth in the world, has fallen to 170th in the latest rankings.
Blake previously overcame a broken neck and a case of shingles in 2004 to make it into the top 5 of the rankings two years later. Now he's looking for another comeback at age 31.
He got off to a shaky start against a player ranked 293rd in the world, failing to take advantage of early break point opportunities and falling behind 5-4 in the first set after losing serve on the only break point he faced in the match.
Blake responded by breaking Levine right back to extend the set, starting a stretch in which he won nine of the final 10 games in the match. He won the first set when Levine hit a forehand into the net, then dominated the second set. Blake lost just 11 points in the seven games, winning 80 percent of the points on his own serve.
"It's going to take a little while because I hadn't played a
match in four months," Blake said. "It will take a couple of
matches. This was a good step to get through this one. I was happy
that once I got broken I didn't hang my head or start panicking or
freaking out or anything. I got back on my horse and broke him
"I thought it might take a little while to get back to playing
my best in the big time," he said. "Hopefully this is a good step
and it will keep getting better."
Blake will next play the winner of Tuesday's first-round match between fourth-seeded Xavier Malisse and Milos Raonic.
In other first-round matches, Michael Russell beat Alex Kuznetsov 6-4, 6-2; Tim Smyczek defeated Robert Farah 7-5, 3-6, 6-3; Denis Istomin beat Roman Borvanov 6-3, 7-5; and Donald Young knocked off Dustin Brown 7-6 (2), 6-4.
The highlight of the opening night of the tournament was an exhibition between Pete Sampras and Gael Monfils, who is seeded second in the main draw.
Monfils outran, outserved and outplayed the 14-time Grand Slam winner on the way to a lighthearted 7-6 (4), 6-4 exhibition win.
Monfils took a photographer's camera to snap a shot of Sampras at one point, did a push-up, sprint and sit-up while Sampras rested after a long point, and tried a few between-the-leg shots.
Sampras, 39, was appearing here in an exhibition for the fourth straight year. He showed off his stellar serve-and-volley game and bantered with the crowd throughout the match.
Monfils later filmed Sampras' postmatch interview with his
phone, recording praise like this: "I've played a lot of good
movers in my day. He's one of the best I've ever played."
Monfils, who was just 4 years old when Sampras won his first
major title at the U.S. Open in 1990, said after the match: "To play against you, Pete, is a dream."
Sampras said after the match that he is looking forward to his next exhibition against someone close to his own age, vowing to beat Andre Agassi in New York later this month.
Sampras will square off with his old rival Agassi in an exhibition at Madison Square Garden, and he took the
opportunity to hype up that match.
"I always beat him in New York," he said. "I will say that."
Sampras also is finally starting to embrace the technology that
has taken over the sport in recent years, switching from the old
Wilson racket he used during his career to the more powerful
Babolat that is so popular with today's players.
"I need a little bit more pop," he said. "I need it if I'm
going to play some tennis."

Book Roundup
Elizabeth McCracken
The Giant's House
The Dial Press
"[HE WAS] ONLY a boy whose body was a miracle to others. You could believe in God, looking at James." Peggy Cort, the narrator of Elizabeth McCracken's debut novel, The Giant's House, would like to believe in God. Or something better. She's too smart for the '50s, too misanthropic for marriage, with an unknown history she deems "beside the point." Peggy is starving for something big, but doesn't realize it until he walks in the door. In her way, she's like countless nuns: intelligent women who harbored passions too huge for the conventions of their day--a consuming love of learning, solitude, God, or other women. Historically, such women had few options: Some went into the convent, some went mad, some became saints. Peggy became a librarian in a small Cape Cod town.
On the surface, it's not so compelling a path. But McCracken--herself a former librarian--makes it seem the most intriguing profession in the world: "Nowadays, trendy librarians, wanting to be important, say, Knowledge is power. I know better. Knowledge is love.... A patron arrives, says, Tell me something. You reach across the desk and pull him toward you, bear hug him a second and then take him into your lap, stroke his forehead, whisper facts in his ear. The climate in Chad is tropical in the south, desert in the north. Source: 1991 CIA World Factbook. Do you love me?... Synecdote is a literary device meaning the part for the whole, as in the crowned heads of Europe. I love you." Love is being useful. It's the most selfish of all unselfish acts.
Enter a 6-foot 11-year-old looking for something to read. Peggy falls in love at first sight with James the Giant, but the reasons for her passion remain the novel's central mystery. Peggy herself doesn't offer many clues--for someone whose job it is to convey information, she's one stingy narrator. (If it's true that first novels are overwritten, McCracken must have at least four other manuscripts in her desk drawer.) Peggy's in love with her own voice, but mostly with controlling what it reveals. When she describes her early, unfulfilled desire for closeness with James--"Lacking things was what I did. I might as well lack something interesting"--she could be describing McCracken's writing method. She has too little self-regard to bother describing herself physically, and the reader ends up feeling held at arm's length, even vaguely resented. Still, there's a fire somewhere under all that starch, and the smoke keeps one digging.
So what about the boy? He peaks at 8-foot-7; he likes doing magic tricks, and he doesn't have many clothes--they're too expensive. His balance is poor. He has his own cottage (thanks to Peggy) in his family's backyard, with giant-sized furniture, where he lives, reads, paints, listens to records with his friends. He is besieged by tourists, but forces them to answer his questions. He is going to die young--giants, like dwarves, do that. And Peggy attends to him every day. Clearly, her obsession is partly an attempt to control him, but considering everything she gives, maybe that's not such a bad thing. We trust her judgment. This is real love.
And these are real people: James is no mere symbolic device. His body is described in concrete detail: his tortured feet, his "beautiful, useful" hands, his oversized eyeglasses, even his urine. But why does Peggy love him so wildly--and not just spiritually? At some point, this ardor outgrows the question, settling into permanent mystery. Like James's giantism, there's no cure; it refuses to stop, growing out of all reasonable bounds. It's something so deep we could tap it over and over and never reach the center. And that's something to be grateful for. (Kate Sullivan)
Ben Neihart
Hey, Joe
Simon & Schuster
PROBABLY THE LAST New Yorker story that truly wowed me was Ben Neihart's "Hey, Joe." The title character is a gentle, pot-smoking teen from an upper-middle class suburb of New Orleans--not an evil lout, not a tortured loser, not a chump. He is charmingly awkward and almost unbelievably sophisticated (he knows both Dutch painting and Digable Planets), and his favorite weekend activity is to go into the Quarter to check shit out and meet up with people. He loves hanging out with women but he's pretty much decided on guys in the romance department. And his bald honestly makes him immediately endearing: "I've got a lot to learn, dude, and I admit it," he tells his first love, the proverbial boy next door, "but I'm not the only one."
"Hey, Joe" the story eventually grew into Hey, Joe the novel, which seems the key to the book's promise and its problems. While remarkable for a debut, the story contained in these barely 200 pages (with large type) feels both slight and rushed. Everything takes place on a Friday night in late summer when Joe, abandoned by his best friend Wyatt, hops a bus to the city, lookin' for love. This same night, a verdict will finally be reached in a scandalous trial involving boys at an orphanage who were allegedly molested by Rae Schipke, the director of a huge foundation that supported the orphanage.
I was more or less enraptured by the first half of Hey, Joe, and when I returned to finish it, became more or less annoyed. Basically, this book is more akin to a one-hour TV pilot than a feature-length movie: Numerous tantalizing characters and situations that don't go anywhere are briefly dangled before the reader, and the main plot just barely resolves itself. Joe's intriguingly complex, bittersweet relationship with his mother is only sketchily covered in the first chapter, and his big-sisterly, big-city friends--record store owner Kel and DJ White Donna--wind up as somewhat superficial trendmongers. Then, however, there are times when Neihart seems to be merely padding his word count ("For Joe and Donna, dinner was tossed salad in a kicky, fatty, anchovy-and-jalapeño dressing, roasted garlic and plum tomato pizza...").
All of this is frustrating, because elsewhere, the author brings a beautifully fresh simplicity to the heavy atmospherics of New Orleans, to the physicality and outright eroticism of its people, and to a teenager's psychology (here's Joe, who, for lack of any suave response to the advances of a hunky older guy at the health club, simply throws himself into the swimming pool). In the end, the time spent reading Hey, Joe is worthwhile more as an introduction to Neihart's promising literary talent than for the novel itself. (Julie Caniglia)
Maxine Chernoff
American Heaven
Coffee House Books
IN THE MOST touching moment in Maxine Chernoff's second novel, American Heaven, Irena Bozinska, an emotionally drab mathematician and Polish immigrant, is visiting Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo with friends when they come across a black leopard who was raised as a housepet before being incarcerated in the zoo. The animal lolls on its back in its cage and reaches a paw out towards the visitors, clearly desiring some contact. "We are not allowed to touch her," the keeper says. "She must grow used to us in this way. It would be cruel to confuse her further." Later, outside, Irena admits to her companion that the incident has saddened her. "It is dangerous to care too much," the man--also a Pole--says. "We mustn't do that."
American Heaven is situated smack-dab in the middle of an America lost in computer solitaire, where strangers fumble for connection. Chernoff used the immigrant's naiveté and confusion previously (in the title story of her collection, Bop) to illustrate and amplify the American crisis of alienation and loneliness; here, Irena's confusion collides with so much confounding American idiom and so much entertaining company that it is possible to overlook her own role as the grave and muddle-headed Eastern European girl straight from Central Casting.
Briefly, Irena has left Poland--"a place where telling the truth was a crime"--after the death of her father, leaving behind her mother, a cat, and a boyfriend too lousy to believe. In Chicago she assumes the care of Harrison Waters, an elderly and esteemed jazz pianist with arthritis and a bad heart. In the laundry room of their apartment building overlooking Lake Michigan, Irena meets the beautiful and morose Elizabeth O'Conner--obvious emotional wreckage burdened with a secret--who is taking care of her own "old man," Jack Kaufman, an archetypal Chicago gangster and real estate shark now dying of cancer. This unlikely foursome hits it off in unlikely fashion, and in between dinner parties, an excursion to a casino, and a final, rather too convenient trip back to Poland, we get shifting viewpoints in the form of letters, confessions, lamentations, and monologues. Lots of monologues.
Not the least of Chernoff's accomplishments in American Heaven is that the most entertaining and even likeable character in the book is Jack, a winking and ruthless American opportunist, a philanderer and murderer for whom "eating, drinking, and fucking are about all there is." The other characters don't fare as well because they frankly don't have much to say. Harrison Waters, it is apparent, lost his ability to really communicate when arthritis silenced his piano. It would have been nice to know what that feels like, that period when a musician begins to lose his means of expression, but Harrison is merely a quiet fellow, one who--inexplicably--reads five newspapers a day and likes his mashed potatoes. Of Elizabeth O'Conner, Jack says: "This Elizabeth doesn't have a story in her head." What she does have is her secret, and once she unburdens herself of that she is gone, off to California and one more try at another life.
And then there is drab, mousy Irena, with her "beautiful interest in numbers," stranded amongst the idioms and the crass mysteries of America. She observes early in the book that "to those who know how fragile the heart of an old man is and how much applesauce is really worth, nothing is very funny." What could such a woman possibly expect to find in a country where, as she quickly learns, attention is not simply paid, but paid for, and where the engagement she seeks is almost too much to hope for?
In American Heaven everybody's either desperately remembering or trying hopelessly to forget, and everyone has learned the lesson that it is "dangerous to care too much." The old fellows are hoping to sneak their way into heaven, leaving the young women who cared for them behind, still trying to find a haven here on earth. (Brad Zellar)
Victoria A. Brownworth
Too Queer: Essays from a Radical Life
Firebrand Books
I REMEMBER THE first time I saw a human body torn in half, the legs still clad in trousers, shoes still on, the belted waist from which the vertebrae rose like some unflowering stalk. I based many of my life's choices on my memory of that body dumped at a Managuan roadside by Somozista thugs. What radicalizes individuals to action is the subject of Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Victoria Brownworth's collection of essays, Too Queer, which is intended both to document and exhort the reader to radical engagement in an age of queer assimilation.
This collection of 27 essays, penned in 1995 and culled from various national publications, including The Village Voice and The Philadelphia Daily News, ranges broadly in subject from breast cancer to outing, criminal law to monogamy, lesbian chic to the troubling idealization of the Stonewall riots. Many were published as newspaper columns and bear the distressing marks of the form: Peppy and reductive, they read at times like a lefty Ann Landers dispensing counsel to beleaguered rads. For example, in "The Name Game," a column on reclaiming derogatory terms, Brownworth eschews semiotic complexities in favor of chipper counsel: "We may not be sure how we want to be identified, but most of us would like to have choices. Taking back the language of oppression--whether it is black or queer or dyke--does just that: it gives us choices."
Nevertheless, she brings to our attention facts and images too often kept from sight, which have the power to change us. Her accounts of unjustly imprisoned lesbians and of the politics of artificial insemination are as powerful as her unflinching description of her post-op breast, "hard and black as macadam, [with] a long, plastic drain hung from the scar, blood and fluid leeching out of the wound for days." Moreover, Brownworth's certitude about the necessity of moral action is heartening in an era of Foucauldian relativism. "This," she writes, "was the rote lesson of my childhood... Do what is right."

General Info
Salt Lake City, UT 84101
About Us
Red Rock Brewing Company opened its doors to the Salt Lake City community on March 14, 1994. While being the first restaurant located in the 200 West 200 South block, speculation on the success of a brewpub in such an industrial area was high. Approximately 15 partners that came together to start Red Rock, and that alone could have spelled a recipe for disaster. However, the vision for this little old warehouse was one with great potential, offering much more than another bar-food joint. The concept was to expand the idea of brewpubs in Utah by offering a wide variety of brews and home-made sodas alongside quality, innovative menu choices that would leave people talking!

'All Health Breaks Loose' with Boulder Campus Staff Council
by the BCSC Communications Committee
On October 6, Boulder Campus Staff Council (BCSC) hosted its annual fall staff appreciation breakfast for classified and professional exempt staff members. More than 500 employees attended the event, held in the Glenn Miller Ballroom.
This year, in addition to the hot breakfast catered by the UMC and welcoming remarks from guest speakers Chancellor Phil DiStefano and Vice Chancellors Frank Bruno and Sallye McKee, Staff Council partnered with Café of Life and Total Health Fairs to provide an exciting event, 'The Day All Health Breaks Loose!'
A variety of vendors attended to share information and provide giveaways and demonstrations of everything from acupuncture, dental hygiene, skin care and healthy footwear to nutrition. Free chair massages quickly became a favorite part of the event and great way to start the workday.
Anita Oltman, a library technician in the music library said, "Thank you for organizing the staff appreciation breakfast. This year in particular, the event displays and demonstrations were wonderful." Anita added that the 'Day All Health Breaks Loose' event was a unique draw for her, and an interesting and useful addition to the breakfast.
The BCSC outreach committee hopes that the breakfast provided an opportunity for all attendees to relax with their coworkers and encouraged employees to take care of themselves and stay healthy this fall.
In addition to appreciation and informational events such as the fall breakfast, spring luncheon and the summer ice cream social, BCSC works with Bonfils Blood Center to host four blood drives each year. The blood drives are a great way to give back to the community. Look for information around campus about the upcoming blood drive in early November for another chance to donate.
BCSC looks forward to continuing to provide events that demonstrate appreciation for Boulder campus staff members who work so hard and contribute to making CU-Boulder a wonderful community.
For more information about BCSC, please visit the website or call the BCSC Office at 303-492-5473. The website includes contact information for each area representative on campus, committee descriptions, ways that staff members can become involved, a schedule of meetings, and photos from past Spirit Friday* winners.
*Do you know which campus group was first to claim the Spirit Friday trophy in February 2009? Visit the Staff Council website to find out and email your answer to email@example.com. The first 50 classified and professional exempt staff members to submit correct answers will be entered in a drawing for a final fall breakfast giveaway.

Replacement Windows & Doors Excellent. I was so pleased with them that I sent them around to my mother-in-law (no joke, I do love her, grrr) to replace her windows. I would strongly recommend them to anyone. Within an hour of completing the installation they had returned to replace a unit which one of the installers was not happy with. I wouldn't have noticed tha "fault", which was just a speck of dust inside the unit. Absolutely. First class all round.

B Jones -
We recently moved into our "new" property where several of the original wood-framed windows had rotted and were in urgent need of replacement, plus one replacement unit in a UVPC window which had condensation in it. From start to finish we found your firm to be clear, informative, and helpful in making suggestions as to how we could proceed. The initial visit with Nick gave us confidence that we wanted to proceed with your firm rather than the competition. He was also able to change the lock on the front door there and then which we very much appreciated. Steve who came to do the measuring was very professional and made further helpful suggestions. Mark and Dave came today to do the work, and we think they were brilliant, both in what they did and their attitude. We could not be more pleased with their workmanship. We will have no hesitation in recommending your firm. Mr & Mrs R A Fishbourne

These are great: witty, well designed. Very nice work.
No, I am not a media buyer.
Nice but the presence of the eletronic devise (still can't figure out what it is .. walkie talkie.. phone?) is confusing, since it does not look like a space tool or something...
I do believe it's a CB radio.
No, I am not a media buyer.
Solid concept, good stuff.
Hi, did anyone notice the inverted' inverted commas in all of these?

Deiondre Douchette-Pina was last seen with his grandmother Tonya Douchette, 46, who may have been driving a green 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup bearing CT registration 499OCO.
State Police Capt. Thomas Garbedian said Douchette picked up the boy from his parents' house in Norwich at 9 p.m. Saturday night. The boy was supposed to stay with her overnight, he said, but there was no set time when she was supposed to return him to his parents today.
Deiondre's parents called state police around noon today after a family member, concerned about a phone conversation she had with Douchette this morning, contacted the parents. Garbedian declined to name the family member or the nature of the conversation, but said the parents were concerned for the child's safety.
Douchette was convicted in the 2003 death of a 34-year-old Plainfield woman who was a passenger in Douchette's car when it struck a stone wall in Preston. Police found vodka bottles, heroin and needles inside the car. Douchette was convicted of negligent homicide with a motor vehicle and sentenced to six months in prison which was suspended after she served 30 days. She also received two years probation.
Douchette also has convictions for reckless driving (2010), use of drug paraphernalia (2004) and breach of peace (2004 and 2010).

I had not seen this Johnny Depp movie before and it was a great movie. The story was really good and he was so good in his part, as were all the others in this movie. It is pretty bloody but not so gross that you can't enjoy it. Well worth the cost.
Same as first comment
Somewhat hard to follow........with all the characters introduced. The plot was not convincing as to "why" the Ripper was performing these murders. Left a few questions answered.
Like Sherlock Holmes's Murder by decree this movie points to a royal family coverup. In This movie the powers protect the Ripper
I'm a huge johny depp fan. The order was here quick and un damaged. Im very pleased with the movie. seeing that i've seen it before and wanted it to own.

Carroll A. Deering LbNA # 29921

On January 31, 1921, a large schooner was spotted aground off the Carolina coast, caught in a bed of breakers. Four days later, the seas finally calmed enough to get close enough to identify the ship as the Carroll A. Deering. The galley was set for a meal, but the charts and navigational devices had been taken and all the steering mechanisms destroyed. No one was on board except for a few cats. What had become of the crew? Were they victims of the "Bermuda Triangle," which extends through part of the Outer Banks?
The Deering had left Bath, Maine in 1919 on its way to South America. It passed through Hampton Roads before switching captains in Lewes, DE. (The original captain had become sick and said he did not trust the crew.) After visiting Rio and Barbados, where some of the crew are said to have plotted mischief openly in public, the ship passed the southern coast of North Carolina January 23, 1921, but didn't reach Cape Lookout until January 29. The lighthouse keeper was hailed by a redheaded sailor, not the captain. Two days later the ship was in Diamond Shoals, presumably with no one aboard. The ship remained aground for two weeks and was thoroughly salvaged before being dynamited by the Coast Guard. Boards washed up on the beach and were immediately put to use in homes in Hatteras and Ocracoke for good luck. Some may still be there.
On April 10, 1921, Hatteras native Chris Gray reported finding a message in a bottle:
Deering Captured by Oil Burning Boat
Something Like Chaser taking Off everything
Handcuffing Crew
Crew hiding All over ship no chance to
Make escape finder please
notify head Qts of Deering
Gray later admitted to federal investigators that he had forged the note, but to find the Carroll A. Deering you must first go to the site of another Message in a Bottle, then 20 paces at 200 degrees to a pile of bark next to (NOT inside - watch out for snakes!) a fallen tree at the base of a large stump.

I have followed the instructions on MoshuBlog and it works just like I want it to, with two exceptions. First, I'm wondering how to alter the code to show posts from only one specified category, and how to show only the latest post.
Second, it does not stay in the div tag! I have a sidebar to the right, and first it overlapped the sidebar, even though the div tag was cut. I managed to contain it by adding the storycontent div to the css and assigning a width, but now it expands in height! Storycontent does not help here, since it only applies to each post separately. So solving how to show only the latest post really solves everything!
Anyone got a clue how to do this?

Following on, the tourists lost the wicket of Younus Khan before lunch but Azhar Ali and Imran Farhat kept the Proteas' bowlers at bay to move their side on to 87 for two at the interval.
That is still a deficit of 166 runs, with South Africa to bat again, but it helped restore a little confidence after a dismal second day which saw Pakistan bowled out for 156 in reply to their opponents' 409.
The visitors began the third day on 14 for one, 239 runs behind Graeme Smith's side, with Azhar and Younus at the crease.
However, the partnership was broken on 38 by Dale Steyn, with Younus edging to Smith at first slip on 11.
Fears quickly began to grow of another Pakistan collapse but Azhar and Farhat patiently negotiated the remaining overs before lunch to build an unbroken stand of 48.
Opener Azhar was on 27 at the interval with Farhat on 32.

Realistic Standards: Optimal Negligence with Limited Liability
We study the standard economic model of unilateral accidents under the assumption that the injurers have limited assets. We identify a second-best optimal rule that selects as due care the minimum of first-best care and a level of care that takes into account the wealth of the injurer. We show that such a rule in fact maximizes the precautionary effort by a potential injurer. The idea is counterintuitive: being softer on an injurer, in terms of the required level of care, actually improves the incentives when he or she is potentially insolvent. We extend the basic result to an entire population of potentially insolvent injurers and find that the optimal general standards of care do depend on wealth and the distribution of income. We also show that, under certain conditions, wealthier populations should be subject to higher general standards of care in the case of accidents. (c) 2008 by The University of Chicago.

The plugin realy works fine, and loads after the rest of the page, so it doesn't slow the loading process down!
But you can't use the latest comments Widget anymore effective, which is really sad.
I had to contact my host (NameCheap) to get the plugin to install properly, but it works now.
works on 4.2.2. but i believe it can do better.
Wether it be to strike spam or create a strong online community of followers, Disqus plugin is a must have online tool for your website
Love this plugin, great commenting system functionality and layout
This is an awesome plugin. Makes it easier for people to engage with my website and it's also brilliant to track duscussions in the comments. Best thing is that people don't have to register to use it, all they need is a social network account (Facebook, Twitter etc)
Although it might take a second or two longer to load than the rest of the page, couldn't be happier with its performance!
It works pretty well. No major complaints, other than the integration from normal WP comments to Disqus can sometimes be glitchy. I still happily use it though.
Everything works great so far. Just one thing: how can I get the "most recent comments" widget to put on my home page? Just spent two hours searching for a solution but no joy. Any hints?

The page Ids which use to be numbers, no longer work for certain widgets.
in Wp 2.5. (example the Pages widget can no longer exclude certain pages)
Somebody from needs to clarify what the page ID are now.
Yes, please. How do we know what is the page ID now. In previous WordPress versions, the page ID was displayed next to the pages titles in Manage Pages. Why this feature disappeared?
See the bottom of your screen when you hover over a post title in the manage screen.
I have the page ID by hovering, but is there anyway to exclude them anymore through the page widget?
Never mind! I figured out it was easy to keep pages private in 2.5. LOL
I'd been overlooking the little "keep pages private" checkbox just under the save/publish buttons. *blush*
Just the answer I was looking for, what is the Post ID .. thank you!

An experiment to close the world famous crooked portion of Lombard Street in San Francisco began Saturday (6/21).
Complaints about crowds and traffic congestion from neighbors are behind the closures.
While the street's uniqueness and beauty are undeniable, the question remains - should there be limited access to a public street?
Visitors walk it, drive it or both - all eager to experience a novelty with a beautiful view.
Awestruck visitors have multiplied during the past four years according to neighbors.
Visitors say this tourist attraction should be shared and doesn't belong exclusively to the people who live here.
Homeowner's along the famous street are worried closing it to vehicle traffic may cause people to clog the area on foot.
The weekend closure to vehicle traffic started Saturday at noon.
The exceptions are taxis and people who live here.
The closure will last the next four weekends. Whether it will go beyond that, depends on what happens in that time.

Allen West was on with Mark Levin last night in what I think was one of his better interviews. Not only did Levin put West on the spot and really press him on his future, but West weighed in on this debate over the 'fiscal cliff' saying that the House should be passing good policy and not negotiating with a "Marxist, Socialist, rigid ideologue" like Obama. He says that instead of Obama telling people how he's going to give them $2,000 by keeping their taxes low, West says Obama should be telling them how he's decimated the median family income by $4,000 through printing money and inflation.
On his future, West said he's gotten good offers and he has no plans to stop fighting for this country. Levin called him a "national treasure" and implored him to remain in public service.
All in all an excellent interview. Listen below:

Every home owner and house renter has probably met a plumber Solihull at least once. Plumbers are called upon to install, repair and maintain sinks, toilets, water pipes, water heaters, drainage systems and other water-related systems. Without any doubt, plumbers are always in demand. Incidentally, most people know plumbers only to the extent of the work that they have done. To know these trusty neighborhood helpers better, here are a few quick facts.
Do you know that…
· It is not necessary for a plumber Solihull to have formal education.
People who are interested in pursuing a career in plumbing need not have a college degree. They just have to complete the required classroom training to become a certified plumber. Once certified, they go through formal apprenticeship to gain trade experience.
· Formal plumbing apprenticeship normally lasts 4 to 5 years. After this time, the apprentices can progress to become journeymen and, later on, master plumbers. Master plumbers are required by most states to be licensed.
· Plumbers, on average, make about $50,000 a year. This could vary based on experience and location, among others. Master plumbers, for instance, earn high salaries and are able to take their own apprentices.
· Plumbers generally earn more money than other trade professionals, making plumbing a rewarding career. They can actually make a good living even as apprentices.
· The demand for plumbers is predicted to grow at a rate of 26% between 2010 and 2020. This offers an excellent employment outlook for aspiring plumbers.

Old Granite High School transformed into exhibit illustrating the power of dreams
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — A former high school is being transformed into an interactive exhibit designed to illustrate the power of dreams.
The Dreamathon, which opens later this month, will lead elementary students and the local community through Granite High School where nearly 150 local artists, designers and musicians are in the process of creating the art gallery.
"We wanted to put together some type of event that would inspire visitors to follow their dreams," said Ben Ehlert, publisher for The Dream Press, which sponsored the event.
Ehlert said the vision for the interactive art gallery is to "inspire visitors to discover their natural strengths, and talents, and passions and then to use those to follow their dreams, to do what matters most to them."
Field trips are scheduled for schools from Granite School District, and the public is invited to attend from 5-10 p.m. May 19-23, and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. May 24.
Ehlert said he realized his own dream of starting The Dream Press publishing company while on a trip to Kenya. He was teaching children who only had one pair of clothes and brought tattered notebooks and broken pencils to school.
When he asked them what their dreams were, he said, their hands shot in the air.
"They had dreams to become a doctor or to be a mother or to be a soccer player or a father, a lawyer. Whatever it was, they had dreams themselves," Ehlert said.
It inspired him to promote learning, discovery and teach meaningful stories to children. He also felt inspired to help children in Utah realize their dreams through the Dreamathon.
Johnny Patterson, program director or "dreamcatcher," said the word "dream" is used to guide participants through the museum and teach them how to follow their dreams.
They will move through rooms, one representing each letter of the word: "D" for discover the dream; "R" for remember the reason; "E" for experience every day; "A" for ask for answers; and "M" for make it your mission. In each room, they will view artwork and participate in activities. The children will also take a writing workshop.
"Expect to be inspired," Patterson said. "The Dreamathon is all about illustrating the power of a dream and that it's the work of amazing people who do what they do every day that makes it so that we can all dream big."
A dream isn't something far, far away, he said, but rather what you make of every day.
"It's just that message that we want to give," he said. "It really is all about using your gifts and your talents to make the world a better place, and that's what we hope to inspire."

Two hours before Wednesday's Amarillo Dillas game, a bespectacled man dressed in shorts, a T-shirt and blue baseball cap had a fungo bat in his hand hitting grounders to several infielders of the Fort Worth Cats.
The scene went unnoticed.
But under that hat was a millionaire.
And, for longtime fans of the Texas Rangers, a familiar face with those smiling blue eyes.
Sweet-swinging first baseman Pete O'Brien has returned to the minor leagues.
Now, before one gets the idea the 43-year-old O'Brien is making one of those 40-something comebacks made famous by boxers, he promises his last swing in pro ball will remain with Seattle in 1993 when his salary was a reported $2,187,500.
"I have five kids," said O'Brien, who belted 169 home runs during his 12-year career. "And the last year I played I wasn't exactly chasing numbers."
So what in the heck is O'Brien, who spent seven years with the Rangers between 1982 and 1988, doing coaching third base for an independent league team in Fort Worth?
Love of baseball, baby.
O'Brien isn't your every day third base coach. He is a co-owner of the Cats and the last 10 days has been their third base coach when manager Jim Gentile had to leave the team to spend time with his wife (she gave a kidney to a sister).
But O'Brien is not stranger to these Cats.
For the past two years, he has been a co-owner of the team. After seven years of being out of baseball and "loving those tee times and spending time with my family" the opportunity popped up to get involved with the revival of baseball in Fort Worth at LaGrave Field.
Having gone through the minor leagues, even playing at the Amarillo National Dilla Villa in 1981 with Tulsa against the Gold Sox in Texas League action, O'Brien knows a zillion hard-luck minor league baseball stories.
"Really, the inspiration for me with the independent story was even though I was a system guy, I felt like I saw a lot of talent walk away from the game for one reason or another," O'Brien said of his minor league days. "They might have been too young and weren't really digging the minor leagues and couldn't handle it.
"When you got hurt back then there was no place you could turn. Every June 500 kids are drafted. And every March that means 500 kids have to go home."
Independent league baseball teams like the Dillas and Cats aren't affiliated with major league teams. But that doesn't mean independent players drop their dream of being a big leaguer.
"I was a late bloomer in high school and consistently got better," said O'Brien, who played in 1,567 big league games. "I figured that can happen at the professional level where these kids might have been overwhelmed at one time, or have a death in the family. You never know. It provided a safety net for them. That's the reason I like the independent league story."
Despite struggling on the field to a league-worst 27-44 overall record, the Cats have been the biggest hit of the 2002 CBL season with their fans.
Fort Worth leads the league in attendance averaging 3,310 fans per game.
O'Brien hired close friend Marty Scott to be the manager of the Cats after Gentile departed.
Scott knows all about independent league ball having managed the St. Paul Saints. He said O'Brien "does such a great job helping the players. We are a tag team."
A happy one at that.
Watching third base coach O'Brien wave in 11 runners home Tuesday night in the Cats 11-5 win over the Dillas, watching him hit infield grounders and play a little game of pepper with his son/bat boy, Mike, Wednesday afternoon, the smile never leaves O'Brien's face.
Without dishing out too much goo, you gotta love it. How cool is it to see a big leaguer giving back to the game that blessed him.
"I love baseball," O'Brien said. "The good thing about this league is the affiliates are looking at independent leagues more and more. If we can get one kid to the big leagues, this will all be worth it."
And by the way, the man who hit .290 with 23 home runs and drove in 90 runs for the Rangers in 1986 and remains a fan living in Colleyville, had this message for Rangers fans.
"The can really turn it around," O'Brien said. "Early, they were one closer away from being really good. They have a good nucleus of players and some veterans who don't look ready to retire anytime soon. They have to start developing within again and giving their young kids reasons to hope."
Just like Pete O'Brien - co-owner/third base coach/fungo hitter/father of bat boy - is doing these days.

Hopefully someone knows how to do this, I think its a looping feature, but not sure.
I have 6 categories. On my sidebar I want them divided up into 3 sections, Articles, Interviews, and News.
So lets say I want the Articles section first. If I use wp_list_cats and exclude categories, 5,6 , cats 1,2,3,4 will show.
But then I want to use cat 5 for the Interviews section. It won't show up because the first wp_list_cats trumps it.
Can anyone help me here?
Thank you

I recently have to delete one of my blog talking about VS2008 and IE8 beta, since I made some comment that may be easy to misunderstand. I will be careful this time. J
If IE8 beta1 is installed on the OS, when F5, Ctrl-F5, view in browser is fired for a web page with VS2008 RTM, IE8 beta1 may get popped up, then you will notice VS2008 RTM will freeze for about 30 seconds. The page loaded on IE8 beta1 is an empty page. One may have to close it to get the proper page running. This seems happen for both normal mode and IE7 emulated mode.
There is a workaround, if IE8 beta1 is the preferred way to debug. Install Microsoft Silverlight Tools Beta 1 for Visual Studio 2008, which contains the fix. Otherwise, we've to wait for the next VS service pack for the fix.
An update note for this on 9-6-2008: IE8 Beta2 is out, and works fine with VS2008 SP1.
如果系统里安装了IE8Beta1版,当使用VS2008 RTM的F5/Ctrl-F5时,IE8Beta1可能会显现出空的文件,VS2008 RTM也会停止响应30秒钟左右。可能需要关掉出现空文件的IE8Beta1来继续。这在IE8Beta1的正常浏览模式和IE7的模拟浏览模式下都会出现。
