i have bp group hierarchy up and running, just not sure on what this plugin is supposed to do.
I'm no sure what more I can add to the plugin description. Activity items in subgroups become visible in the streams of parent groups. That's all it does.
It's useful in situations where, say, you've got hierarchically organised groups for "region", "town" and "neighbourhood" - then the "town" groups will show all activity from all the neighbourhood groups beneath them - and the "region" groups will show activity from all the town groups beneath them.
Are you stuck with something specific?
gotcha. sorry, i was running on empty from working all night trying to figure something else out, that i maybe didn't have enough brain cells working to fully understand the plugin. ;)
just tested it. it works!
thank you
i'd say it does. i.e., i setup a sports group with sub-groups below it. now if anyone goes to the main group, sports, all activity from each group shows on the main activity page! cool. :)
by chance, since i'm somewhat new to wp and all, do u have favorites list of bp plugins? if not, that's fine.
It's worth having a look at Commons in a Box to see what they bundle:
hey christian,
it's funny u say that, i just setup bp using the berlin theme, the same guys who developed the engine for commons in a box, presscrew. i was going to go with c in a b, however i kinda liked the layout of the berlin theme a little more.
re the plugins, i'm using most of those already, i'm just getting overwhelmed since there's a lot of plugins available but many aren't working even though they say that they do.
anyways, appreciate the feedback, and thanks for taking the time to offer ur plugin to everyone.

How can I write "stuff" into USB drive on FreeBSD such that, the "stuff" is accessible in Windows [yes my wife still uses that :( ] and Ubuntu?
Windows can only mount FAT variants and NTFS natively. Non-native filesystems exist but require going through hoops to the point that it's often simpler to install a Linux (or FreeBSD) VM. So, pick FAT32 or NTFS.

Ghana Stocks Measure Falls Most in 3 Weeks on Bets Gain Overdone
Ghana's stock index dropped the most in three weeks on speculation that the measure's 27 percent gain this year was overdone. Ecobank Transnational Inc., a lender operating in 27 African nations, led declines.
The 36-member All-Share Index fell 1.4 percent to 6,990.5 by the 1 p.m. close in Accra, paring its increase this year to 26 percent, making it the worst performer among almost 90 gauges tracked by Bloomberg today. Still, the West African nation's bourse is Africa's third-best performer this year after Uganda's and Kenya's.
"The market went down today because some investors think they can reap returns at this point," Michael Barnes, head of trading at Securities Africa Ltd., said by telephone from Johannesburg. "We are positive about Ghana's market. About 97,000 shares traded, which is above average. This could be cash-taking ahead of Christmas."
Ecobank Transnational, the Lome-based lender, fell 6.7 percent to close at 14 pesewas, the lowest in a week.
"The decline in the index today is due to profit-taking," Doris Yaa Ahiati, an analyst with Accra-based Databank Group, said in a telephone interview. "The recovery of the market this year was strong and as the year gets to a close, some investors may want to reap their investments.
Ghana's index may gain as much as 15 percent to 8,338.65 by the end of 2011 after rising to 7,251 by the end of this year as companies gain from growth linked to the start of oil output from the Jubilee field, she said. The bourse, which plunged 47 percent in 2009 to make it the world's worst performer that year, has advanced in 2010 because of "renewing interest from foreigners" who fled investments perceived as risky during the global economic crisis, Ahiati said.

Strap it on some more.
All science, just a little fiction.
The real world is a lie…
For centuries, alien warlord Zinyak and his malevolent race (to be named later) have eyed Earth and its precious natural resources and females with a watchful eye. As he prepares an armada for invasion, he has only one worry: the Third Street Saints.
Once a simple street gang from Stilwater, the Saints have evolved into a global empire, replete with bombastic TV advertising and tasteful consumer products, the kind of TV advertising and consumer products that would give any alien warlord pause. Clearly, the Saints are the biggest badasses on Earth.
Now, in order to prepare his forces for domination, Zinyak captures the leader of the Saints and imprisons him in an elaborate virtual reality simulation. This simulation program looks and feels like Steelport, but it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Here, you are a slave. Welcome… to the Dominatrix.
Inside the Dominatrix, Zinyak trains legions of his forces, including a giant mutated can of Saints Flow energy drink named Paul, to complete his nefarious mission – defeat the Saints, conquer Earth, love our women. But as in the real world, there are rules inside the Dominatrix. Some can be bent; others, broken…
THQ and Volition have announced the development of Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix, the groundbreaking standalone expansion to Saints Row: The Third.
Features of Enter The Dominatrix include:
The Dominatrix Has You
And it feels so good. Bend the Dominatrix to your will and harness an arsenal of super powers including Mind-Bending Telekinesis, Really Really High Jump, Really Really Fast Sprint, Shiny Blue Force Shield, and Shiny Blue Fireball Projectile-of-Doom.
Wondrous Alien Technology
Use Dominatrix weapons as your own, such as the Floppy Alien Tentacle Bat, the Fire-In-The-Sky Alien Abduction Ray, and the sphincter-stretching Alien Anal Probe, as well as a touch-screen telephonic device with email and map functionality. Reach out and f$%# someone.
Go Three Levels Deep
Enter the Dominatrix within the Dominatrix within the Dominatrix to recruit former Saints from the depths of your own memory to fight Zinyak. It's all science, with just a little fiction.
Will you defeat Zinyak and his invasion armada? Will you escape from virtual reality to rule Steelport once more? Will any of this make any sense? The answers you seek can only be found inside the Dominatrix. So enter it.

The Central Peninsula Chapter of the AFS Student Exchange Program thanks the following businesses and individuals who supported our recent international dinner and auction with their generous donations: Country Foods, Arby's, Kenai Vision Center, Louie's Steak & Seafood Restaurant, Don Jose's, Charlotte's Restaurant, Acapulco Mexican Restaurant, Kaladi Brothers, Katina's, Playa Azul, Paradisos Restaurant, Bayan Asian Market, Jersey Subs in Kenai, New Peking Chinese Restaurant, Gourmet Market Deli, Kenai Safeway, Soldotna Safeway, Country Liquor, Joe's Laundry, Kenai Chamber of Commerce
Soldotna Library Friends held an art auction fundraiser on April 12, and we want to thank all of the art donors, ticket buyers and art purchasers who made the event a success and added funds to the Rasmuson Matching Grant. Those who made it possible are too numerous to mention, but some of those much-appreciated people and organizations are River City Books, Kenai Peninsula College Art Department, KPC Library, Soldotna Senior Center, Central Peninsula Hospital, Kenai Fine Arts Center, Frames & Things, and the Soldotna Public Library Staff.
I grew up during the civil rights movement. Imagine, people of color wanting equal rights and protection under rule of law. Well, Alaska has been battling for equal rights under rule of law for decades. Since 1866 all Lower 48 states were allowed to establish roads on federal land that had been historically used as roads or paths to transport goods and people. Along came Alaska in 1959 and became a state of the union. Our equal rights are a joke, much as they were/are a joke for people of color.
The Kenai Basketball program would like to thank all of the parents, volunteers, local businesses, and fans that supported our teams during the 2013-2014 season. We appreciate the commitment that our community makes to enrich our students' school experience. We'd like to give a special thank you to the City of Kenai and the Rec Center for their support and flexibility, and KCHS staff who donated time to referee our C-Team games. Our student-athletes also deserve recognition and thanks for their commitment and dedication.
Where do you start? How do you begin to tell someone how wonderful they are and to relay your appreciation for all that they have done, not just for you, but for your family, friends, and community? I would like everyone to join me in wishing Gary Hale, Fire Marshal, a wonderous bon voyage, happy trails, adios, adieu, so long.
After 43 years of hard work and dedication, and very early mornings, choir director Renée C. Henderson has announced her retirement from KCHS.
On behalf of the Soldotna High School Class of 2015, we would like to thank the following people and businesses for their help and support in making our "Great Gatsby Gala" prom an enjoyable and memorable night.
Thanks to Columbia Paint, CBC Rental, The Duck Inn, Odom/Coca-Cola, Northern Sales Company, The Daily Buzz, Odies, Tammy's Flowers, Trustworthy Hardware, The Boys and Girls Club, and Kaladi Brothers for financial and supply donations. It is wonderful to have so many local businesses help support our event.
From "Fish Board Politics" (Peninsula Clarion, April 14), this column seems more a defense of a political process than a validation of a public process. I was at the board meeting in Anchorage, for two weeks. The board will not meet in Soldotna. The board has not deliberated here since 1999. On the last day in the last two hours of the 2014 meeting the board of fish voted for two Kluberton board generated re-allocation proposals exclusive of the public process and customary comment period. I did not see Les Palmer at the meeting.
For some time now the nature of public education and it's future has been the subject of much debate and rightfully so. The futures of young people and their parents, Alaskans, Americans and citizens of our world are tied to the decisions we are making today.
When the elected haters of public education talk about our failed education system here in Alaska, they are talking about the schools your children attend, your friends and neighbors who teach your children, and they are talking about your children.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
If you have the time, and emotional fortitude, I recommend you read this lengthy and heartbreaking profile of Bill Mantlo, the prolific 1970s and '80s Marvel writer who now, 19 years after being struck by a car, lives in a Queens, New York, nursing home. While his struggles have been reported on in the past, I can't recall them being chronicled in such crushing detail.
Mantlo turned 60 on Wednesday, but in his gaunt and pale condition, is described as looking closer to 80. He lacks mobility and labors to speak; he has a history of violent outbursts. Marvel's "fill-in king," who co-created Cloak & Dagger and penned titles like ROM, Micronauts and The Incredible Hulk, hasn't been able to write since 1995. The last personal entry in his journal, dated Feb. 14, 1995, begins, "My name is Bill Mantlo. I want to go home."
The article in National Underwriter Life & Health magazine, titled simply "Tragic Tale," recounts his career at Marvel — warts and all, including accusations of plagiarism — where he wrote more than 500 issues, until his assignments dried up in the mid-'80s. It also touches upon his work as an attorney for the Legal Aid Society and the bitter divorce that preceded the hit and run that started Mantlo on a tragic two-decade decline.
When Mantlo's health-insurance provider wouldn't cover the long-term respite care it deemed necessary, his legal guardian, his brother Mike, quickly sold off the majority of his assets so he could qualify for Medicaid. His collection of toys and memorabilia, his comic books, the vacation cottage he once owned with his wife — all gone. That was 1995.
It really is a heart-wrenching story, a tragedy made worse by a flawed healthcare industry and an insurer eager to cut its losses.
thank you for posting this.
It's terrifying, and so necessary.
Just read the entire article. Devastating.
Oh my god, I need to go take a long walk. I need to call my dad.
THANK YOU for this, Kevin.
That article is a hearbreaker and answers a ton of questions I've had about Mantlo over the years, and gives me new ones to ponder.
Wow. Why do people let this stuff happen to other people??? There are times where I question the very heart of human nature….
I almost started crying at "I want to go home." I'm almost crying now just typing it.
I guess this calls for a link to the Hero Initiative. I reckon I'll be throwing them some scratch later this evening…
thank you for the update on Matelo was wondering if his condition got any worse or better now sadly looks like bill needs a hero of his own.
Thank you for posting this and the link.
Man. Just … Jesus Christ.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
This is really sad. Mantlo was a great writer. He wrote my all-time favorite issue of Iron Man.
I'd like to recall that none of the to cases of plagiarism related in that text are confirmed.
In Hero case, Jim Shooter give credit to Mr Ellison without even speak with Bill and yet today, Shooter have not seen the original Soldier Chapter which was supposed to have been plagiarized. I've seen both, and there is very little in common. Mantlo's Hero story is about "hero of the day" (not in Ellison's Story) and Kang (obviously not in Ellison story) All science fiction is based in previous works. You can always find some similarities.
About Hulk 312 there are some facts that bring me some doubts about the matter:
– BWS apparently didn't say a (public) word about this thing until 2003. why? BWS proposal is dated in July 1984. Hulk #312 was published in 1985. Bill's accident was in 1992… why didn't BWS tell anything until 2003 when Mantlo couldn't be asked?
– Looking at those two stories, the only thing in common is the childhood trauma, nothing else: The atmosphere is different. The structure is different (a unique thanksgiving day vs. different life time moments). In one the father is disturbed by war and goes wild when drunk. The other is obsessed by thinking his genius child is a Monster. We see Hulk in one as a metaphor of the child he was (from Banner's memory), in the other we see a reminiscence of Hulk that means Hulk was always there (a flashback).
-There is a point no one seems to notice: 312 is the end of an argument arch. In 312 one of the main things Mantlo tell us is the origin of the Triad, an arch that started several months before, and had nothing to do with BWS story.
-One weird thing is, BWS story was titled "Thanksgiving"… Mantlo story was titled "Monster" and played with "Who was really the Monster?" theme. But now, BWS's graphic novel, that uses his original story… is titled "Monsters"!! That doesn't make any sense to me to put your Graphic Novel the title from the story you say is a plagiarism from yours…
I think it's very difficult to determine that Mantlo conscientiously plagiarized BWS's story, and I think it's unfair to say it since he can't answer.
I think it's fair also that those who read that text also know what Bill Mantlo used to think about Jim Shooter. This is what Mantlo said about him, before his accident:
"(Shooter) had been trying to destroy me as a writer ever since he became an editor… He would attack me either directly, or through the editors, by making it miserable for the editors who had to edit my stuff. Some of the editors did not want to work with me because Shooter would be so hard on them"
"Shooter breached my contract at Marvel by refusing to give me the amount of work they were contractually obligated to give me. I took Marvel to arbitration over this. Shooter bitterly opposed any settlement with me… In the course of our negotiations, it became apparent that Jim Shooter was irrational, and I think this was the first time for management to see this. They basically kept it in mind when his contract came up"
It's a sad story. I'm not sure it was appropriate to make a political statement about it at the end there, though.
Just reading the comments to this and the LifeHealthPro page has me teary-eyed, and I've only gotten through two pages of the actual article so far. I want to write two letters now – one, a fan letter, and two, a letter to my dad.
As a kid, Bill Mantlo provided me with many stories I needed to endure the horrors of child abuse. For however long I could escape into those pages—I was in a different world filled with Spider-man, Cloak and Dagger and the Micronauts. My prayers are with him and his family.
I echo what everyone else said…heartbreaking.
And Darin: pointing out that our healthcare system is flawed is hardly political. Every system is inherently flawed.
On a lighter note, the author of the article has the same last name as Ray and Steve Coffin, two of the human characters from the first MICRONAUTS storyline.
It is INEXCUSABLE that the entire comic book community has not risen up and come together to take care of Bill.
The comic book community, artists and writers, do not really make that much money and many are not even safe from something like this happening to them, as there are no health insurance issued on a contract for freelancing. This should be something that the large companies could try to set up. Some type of fund, but that is not going to happen anytime soon.
What could help on cases like this is health coverage provided by the state or the federal govt. Sadly, most people oppose this type of things because the only real way to pay for it is to increase taxes across the board. Not gonna happen. People don't want that. Until by a freak accident, they need it. It saddens me to read that someone that created so many wonderful and at times powerful stories is in this position and I just pray that someone will come to his aid somehow.
Thanks so much for writing about this, Kevin. Just wanted to let folks know that there are easy ways to send money to Bill's brother Mike that will be used for Bill's ongoing care. Please check it out and consider donating: http://www.gregpak.com/entries/002275.shtml
My God. Depressing and unfair does not even come close to describing this. I want to cry and scream at the injustice of all this. He have us so much, Rom, Micronauts (still the best toyline based comic ever), and with Sal Buscema (for me at least) the definitive Hulk. Damn this world we live.
Omoloc: I agree that it's a shame that Jim Shooter was one of the people they chose to interview about Mantlo's life. What a two-faced crook.
Hysan: If all systems are flawed then why bring it up at all? Seemed like a cheap shot to me.
Bill Mantlo wrote some of my favorite stories and his story always pains me to contemplate. I pray for people in his condition.
Wow what an article. After reading this it makes our everyday worries and troubles seem miniscule compared to what this man and his family went through — and are still going through.
Not only was he an amazing writer but he wanted to devote his life to helping others… and it got cut short. What a tragedy.
When I was a kid, Micronauts was my favorite comic and still stands so well up to this day.
Bill Mantlo is responsible for why I still read comics to this day.
It is true that every system is flawed. But the US healthcare system is not just flawed – it is deeply disgusting and would be criminal in any decent society. The US spends $700 billion a year on its military, but the richest country in the world can't find the money to provide universal healthcare to its people – something that exists in some form in every other advanced, industrialized state.
So, yes, the political comment is called for. indeed, given what this story depicts, the comment is far too tame.
I can't see Bill Mantlo having gotten better treatment in any other country's health care system. Choosing to end the article on a political note like that cheapened the whole thing, as far as I'm concerned.
My guess would be that the majority of people calling for "universal healthcare" coverage have never had to deal with it or rely on it for care. Sounds great on paper – doesn't work very often or very well in reality.
Darin: Reading between the lines here because you won't just come out and say it, but by "cheapened the whole thing" I'm guessing you mean you don't agree with this story's position/observations on the state of insurance reform and health care in the U.S. It might be interesting to read the "Make Mine Mantlo" editorial by the same author where he talks about the need for industry insiders to speak truth to each other that they might not want to hear.
Brian: I would have been just as disappointed if the writer chose to take the opportunity of this article and Mantlo's situation to praise our health care system (which isn't really a "system" yet). I wouldn't think it was appropriate either way.
My prayers are with Bill and his family
I just lost it when he asked for ice cream. There's very little justice in the world, and I hope some has gotten around to the person who hit Bill Mantlo—but I wish more than that for Bill to get the care he deserves.
Darin: The story was written for and posted on a healthcare website. They're going to make a comment on healthcare. Live with it.
Living in the UK, after reading this article i'm incredibly grateful for the NHS. What Americans call their healthcare system is an absolute disgrace. The systematic destruction of Mantles life in order to pay for healthcare costs is absolutely horrifying, especially with the knowledge that were it not for a idiotic system the man could have recovered enough to be on here posting messages himself to his fans. The fact that it happened to a man who devoted much of his professional life to trying to help others makes it even more saddening and unfair.
@Darin: If he had been in the UK his healthcare would have been free, his assets would not have had to be sold out from under him, his family would not have been torn apart. His condition may not have been any better as a result, but at least his life and legacy wouldnt have been completely destroyed in the process.
I miss Bill Mantlo comics SO MUCH. His Hulk, Rom, Team-Up, and especially Micronauts were a huge part of my childhood in the '80s, and I still often revisit his work. Every time his name comes up now, I always hope it will be an article telling us he is on the road to recovery. I'll never stop hoping for that.
So sad. He wrote some of my favorite books. I don't think complaining about the health care system is political. Saying something like this should never have been allowed is what decent people should think.
"My guess would be that the majority of people calling for "universal healthcare" coverage have never had to deal with it or rely on it for care. Sounds great on paper – doesn't work very often or very well in reality."
@Harpo – it works in my reality, namely the UK. As @Alistair points out, the UK's National Health Service might not have improved his medical condition, but he wouldn't have had to sell his entire life's assets to pay for a basic level of ongoing care. It amazes me when people talk about the USA's frankly appalling medical care situation as if it's the best there is and alternatives either don't exist or don't work. Our system is far from perfect, but here in the UK, when you're ill, or injured, or dying, you get looked after and not fiscally punished for getting that way. No-one should lose their home or their life savings just because they're sick. It doesn't have to be that way and there are numerous countries where, thankfully, it isn't that way. My deepest sympathies are with Mr. Mantlo and his family.
I am not going to win any fans with this but my absolute wish if I am ever in a situation which Mr. Mantlo suffered, that I just be allowed to pass on. I have no desire to exist in a world where all I can do is sit in a wheelchair or bed and depend on other people to change my diapers or bathe me. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live that existence. It's just the people who get to go on with their lives and aren't having to live that way that doesn't want them to die- and let their suffering end.
Dying is not scary -living in constant suffering is terrifying.
My heart goes out to him that he can rest in peace soon.
Ger, my father used to say the same thing, but he ended up spending his last three years in a nursing home, and… it wasn't terrible. It doesn't have to be. I visited him almost every day, and even though he had advanced Alzheimer's, his face lit up whenever I came into the room. The employees at the nursing home were wonderful and took good care of him. They didn't just keep him clean (and brush his teeth every day!), they talked to him and made sure he was comfortable and had things to do. Was it a step down from his previous life as a college professor? Yes. Was it a life not worth living? I don't think so. He was surrounded by people who cared about him. The whole Alzheimer's unit was like its own little society—not what we are used to, but still a place where people functioned and lived in their own way, and if some of them thought it was 1945, well, we all just rolled with it.
There's a world of difference between a good nursing home and a bad one. Here's my advice, if you are ever in the awful position of having to choose one for a relative or loved one: Visit the place and watch the faces of the staff and the residents. If they are smiling, that's the place for you. I passed up a much nicer-looking home (chandeliers and everything) for the shabby, friendly place we found for my father, and I'm glad we did.
It is true that every system is flawed. But the US healthcare system is not just flawed – it is deeply disgusting and would be criminal in any decent society. The US spends $700 billion a year on its military, but the richest country in the world can't find the money to provide universal healthcare to its people – something that exists in some form in every other advanced, industrialized state.
So, yes, the political comment is called for. indeed, given what this story depicts, the comment is far too tame.
One of the saddest things I've ever heard. I don't want to sound political, or even start a raging debate over this, but… I will say that if this had happened in Canada, Bill would be writing again. Is personal insurance needed in Canada? No. But it helps. I worry about travelling to the U.S. and getting hurt. And the saddest thing is a story like this that only reinforces my feelings.
How 'bout a "Greatest Bill Mantlo Stories" feature CBR? Mr. Pak, there may be a bit more cash coming your way.
So lets see… a few yrs ago we all "pitched in" to save the HOUSE that Superman writers supposedly thought up the original idea of superman in 1935 (rein of the supermen).
This was just before the economy went belly up.
Money to restore a house that honestly means NOTHING and has no bearing on anything. No one linked to segal or shuster have lived there for 60 yrs. Both creators are dead. and The house has no bearing on Supermans mythos in anyway shape or form.
SO… we can give money to fix a house but nothing to a poor guy whos been like this for 20 yrs????
On the flip side though…. who has money these days to help anyone out. Nobody has a job anymore or can afford anything.
Is Mantelos condition hopeless?
Very sad story. Last I heard Bill was still in a coma after the hit & run, I didnt know he had regained consciousness.
Just heartbreaking. I totally sympathized when Bill asked his kids to kill him, the daily "existence" he now endures IMO is a fate worse then death itself…
Given this series of events:
… CIGNA eventually brought in its own physician, who examined Bill and filed a report to CIGNA stating that no further rehabilitation was medically necessary for Bill. Mike says he was never given a copy of the report.
Bill's primary physician at Whittier protested the report with Whittier's management itself, arguing that it could not allow the insurer to bring in its own medical personnel to reverse the medical opinion of a department head within the hospital.
I think it's a bit much to dub Kevin's postscript a political statement. The insurer brought in its own doctor to reverse the opinion of Mantlo's primary physician.
I would hope that anyone of any political stripe would view that as a sign of a health-care industry that needs help, whether you're an advocate for single payer or tweaks to our current system. And it's worth noting that both major parties in the U.S. have offered health-care reforms to fix various perceived problems.
Masont, there have been efforts to help Mantlo over the years, and Greg Pak offered a link above with info on donating to Mantlo's care: http://www.gregpak.com/entries/002275.shtml.
I wish I was rich.
I wish I had a magic wand.
Best I can do is donate.
We can debate politics and the state of the US healthcare industry all we want. Just be sure that, as you're doing so, you're also donating some money to help out.
As Greg Pak and Mike Mantlo said elsewhere, any little bit helps.
I'm going to donate some money right now. I hope everyone else will do so too.
I know everyone is having a hard time in today's economy, but we as a community can really pull together here to do some concrete good and to help one of our own who has been suffering for 20 years.
Regarding the mention of the Hero Initiative, which I've supported in the past: What kind of record-keeping do they keep? If they don't know the amounts or dates of when the organization has helped out needy creators in the past? The article reflects poorly on them, because Bill Mantlo seems to be a prime candidate to help out with the flashy special issues they put out annually… Just saying…
I had the privelege of being bills friend when we were students at the high school of art and design in manhattan from 1966 to 1969. I am heart broken to read about his accident and the condition that he is living in. bill was one of the nicest guys you could ever know. Frank Brunner was also part of our group of friends in school, we all loved comics and comic art. I wish Bill all the best, if anyone has info as to where donations can be made please email me. God bless Bill
Very sad to see
I Don't know if there's any hope for Bill but I would recommend going to strokebreakthrough.com and seeing if there might be something there available to help Bill restore some of his life.

MMA: WEC going out in style
World Extreme Cagefighting was one of the most successful regional promotions before Zuffa, which also earns the Ultimate Fighting Championships, purchased the WEC in December 2006.
Under the Zuffa banner, the WEC developed a reputation for action-packed cards that highlighted the lighter weight classes.
That all comes to an end with WEC 53 on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Ariz., on Versus. That will be the final WEC card before all the WEC fighters get folded into the UFC. The UFC will add the WEC's 135- and 145-pound divisions and the WEC 155-pounders will be added to the UFC's 155-pound weight class.
The WEC is going out in style with WEC lightweight champion Ben Henderson (12-1) defending his title against Anthony "Showtime" Pettis (12-1) and WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz in a title defense against Scott Jorgensen. Also on the card, brawler Donald Cerrone (12-3) faces Chris Horodecki (16-2) and Bart Palaszewski (35-13) takes on Kamal Shalorus (6-0-2).
"This is going to be a big night and we feel that it's going to be probably one of the best cards we've ever done," WEC general manager Reed Harris said.
The Henderson-Pettis winner will face the winner of UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard to unify the WEC and UFC 155-pound titles.
"I definitely try not to look too far ahead," Henderson said. "I just take the fight that's in front of me and to be honest, every fight --- at a certain point in your career --- every fight is like the biggest fight of your life."
Henderson does admit that he looks forward to challenging himself against the best the UFC has to offer in the future.
"Yes, I'm not going to lie, it's pretty cool," henderson said. "When I first heard that and when I first heard the news, number one contender and all that stuff, yes, I won't lie, I was definitely stoked. You know, it was very exciting."
Pettis said he is staying focused on Henderson.
"For me it's just focusing on the next fight, man," Pettis said. "Ben Henderson's the champ for a reason. He's a good fighter and I got to get past him before I can even think about fighting in the UFC."
Georges St. Pierre retained his UFC welterweight title with a unanimous decision over Josh Koscheck at UFC 124 on Saturday in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The UFC allowed fans to vote on the fight of the nigt for the first time and the fans voted for St. Pierre and Koscheck, who each picked up $100,000 bonuses.
Mac Danzig pocketed a $100,000 bonus for KO of the night for his first-round KO over Joe Stevenson.
Mark Bocek and Jim Miller split the $100,000 submission of the night bonus. Miller used a kneebar to tap out Charles Oliveira and Boceck secured a triangle choke from top position to submit Dustin Hazelett.
UFC 124 drew a North American MMA record crowd of 23,152 for a live gate of $4.586 million.
Thursday's "Battle in the Ballroom" fight card ends the 26th year at the Irvine Marriott. The hybrid card features five pro boxing bouts and one MMA bout. Former Miami running back Quadrine Hill looks for his second straight victory when he meets Enrique Lobatos. San Clemente's Fernando Bernstein faces Gardena's Leonardo Soares in the MMA bout. Santa Ana's Manuel Sanchez goes in search of his first pro win against La habra's Ricardo Garcia, who is making his pro debut. A few tickets remain. Call the Irvine Marriott at (949) 553-0100 after 9 a.m. on Thursday for tickets ($32-$40). ...
Bellator Fighting Championships has landed a new three-year television deal with MTV, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney and MTV2 announced on Tuesday. Bellator brings unique 12-week, eight-man tournaments in respective weight classes. MTV will televise two of these live tournaments per year. The first tournament begins in March 2011.
"We are thrilled to partner with MTV2 which has such a strong audience of hard-to-reach young guys," Rebney said.� "With a timeslot on a prominent nationally-distributed cable network aimed at young men, we now have the perfect platform to showcase our exciting, action-packed tournaments and fighters." ...
Former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson is heading to Japan for New Year's Eve to take on Tatsuya Kawajiri in Dream's "Dynamite!!" card. Thomson is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante and Kawajiri has won four of his past five fights.
"I've wanted this fight forever," Thomson said. "He's somebody that excites me." ...
unbeaten in four fights this year, featherweight prospect Ronny Rios of Santa Ana steps up the level of his opposition when he takes on former IBA featherweight champion Adolfo Landeros in the 2010 season finale of Telefutura's "Solo Boxeo tecate" on Friday night at the Four Points Sheraton in San Diego. The Telefutura telecast begins at 8:30 p.m. ...
Just in time for the holidays, Long Beach Fight Night, which has developed a reputation as one of the top promotions in Southern California, will be giving away 1,000 general admission tickets for Long Beach Fight Night 11 on Jan. 2 at Hall of Champions Gym at Long Beach City College. Go online at longbeachfightnight.com for a free ticket voucher. ...
Ben Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis
When: Thursday, 6 p.m.
Where: Jobing.com Arena, Glendale, Ariz.
TV: Versus
Outlook: Henderson (12-1) makes the third defense of his WEC lightweight title against Pettis (12-1) in the main event of WEC 53.
Prediction: Henderson is a very good wrestler with excellent ground-and-pound and submissions, especially his guillotine choke. Pettis has the edge in the stand-up and striking department, but Pettis also has solid submissions on the ground. Henderson has the edge in caliber of opposition and that experience will help him defeat Pettis.

MINERAL WELLS, Texas (AP) - Police in North Texas say nine children were hurt when their school bus was rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver.
The bus was struck shortly after 7 a.m. Friday while stopped at an intersection in Mineral Wells, about 50 miles west of Fort Worth.
Mineral Wells police Sgt. Caleb Randall says 18 students were on the bus and nine were taken to a hospital for treatment. The others were either picked up by parents or continued to school.
Mineral Wells school district spokeswoman Karyn Bullock says the nine students were treated for minor injuries and later released. The students range in age from 7 to 12.
Randall says police later stopped the Ford pickup involved in the accident and arrested the driver, 26-year-old Matthew Cougar of Strawn.

Information Papers
Funds Control Module
What is it?
The FCM is a business process improvement that provides an automated end-to-end interface of supply requisitions to the accounting system. The four main objectives of FCM are:
- Eliminate Installation Supply Buffer (ISB). ISB was the current non-accounting Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) system that linked supply and financial systems. Its primary function was to translate logistical transactions to a format acceptable for financial processing (obligations, accruals, and disbursements). FCM replaces all 36 ISB systems in the DFAS inventory, performs the translation functionality, and provides DFAS savings of about $4.9 million per year.
- Obligate customer funds on the initial supply order/request. Under the prior process, an obligation did not occur until the first positive status for a request was processed through ISB and posted in the accounting system. Consequently, the customer did not have an accurate picture of the true obligation posture. By obligating on the initial request, the customer, as well as his logistics and resource managers, will have a more precise accounting of what funds have been obligated. FCM provides an enhanced audit trail, and reduces the possibility of over-obligating funds.
- Establish a more robust funds control process.The standard linkage between the Army's financial and logistics systems did not provide a robust funds control process. The supply systems accepted and processed orders without a reasonable determination of funds availability. Forces Command, US Army Europe, and the Army National Guard used four different, unique systems to edit and process supply transactions into the financial systems. FCM provides a disciplined funds control process and a standard linkage between supply and financial systems. FCM performs a funds availability check for each requisition prior to acceptance by the supply systems, and eliminates the need for three of the four command unique systems currently processing supply transactions into the financial systems.
- Simplify the supply to finance reconciliation process.The prior supply and financial reconciliation process was cumbersome and ineffective. The process required reconciliation of the same data contained in at least four separate systems. FCM provides a single authoritative source of financial and supply data, eliminating the need to perform manual reconciliations.
What has the Army done?
The Assistant Secretary of the Army, Financial Management and Comptroller (FCM sponsor), AMC Enterprise Integration (Executive Agent) and AMC G-3 (Program Manager) implemented a phased approach for FCM deployment. The lead sites (Eighth US Army and Texas National Guard) were fielded in June 2006. US Army Europe, US Army Pacific, and the Army National Guard were fielded in October 2006, and the remaining Army commands in May 2007. With the Army-wide deployment of FCM, the Army has achieved all four objectives by successfully fielding a Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) compliant system which ensures a disciplined funds control process, accurate financial transactions, and a single authoritative source of financial and supply data; and has eliminated all ISB systems resulting in a $4.9 million annual reduction to the DFAS bill.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
With some modification, FCM will provide a much needed up front funds availability check for Army requisitions submitted through the Defense Logistics Agency's and General Services Administration's web based off-line purchasing systems. We are also developing enhanced FCM reporting capabilities at the HQDA and field levels and have established a DFAS Help Desk function to reduce the large outstanding balance of help desk tickets.
Why is this important to the Army?
FCM ensures the Army has a FFMIA compliant and fully integrated logistical/financial process necessary to provide commanders with on-line, real-time access to supply resources.

Commercial Cleaning Master Franchise Secrets - How Not To Lose
When you start out as a Commercial Cleaning Master Franchise owner and you are selling franchises in your territory, that's great, but your accounts being cleaned properly is equally important. Proper Cleaning Master Franchises don't lose clients.
When you start out as a Master Franchise owner and you are selling franchises in your territory, you have to think about more than merely selling them! While you want to make those sales and fill your territory with cleaning services under the brand umbrella, you still have to think about the quality of the service that you are going to be providing to your clients. You have to be able to offer the best franchise for cleaning services. If you don't, you will find that it is going to be impossible to keep them as clients, and the business will fail. – http://cleaningbusinessfranchises.com
What's the Experience?
You are the Master Franchise owner, and you are selling the franchises, which means you can control to whom you sell the franchise in your territory. While it can be exciting to keep selling franchises you have to make sure that the people or company buying the franchise is going to be able to handle it. While you will be able to provide the necessary orientation to make sure that they and their employees represent the brand well, you will also have to make sure that you are finding those who have experience, or who are willing to work hard and gain that experience on the job.
Being a bit choosy about the franchise owners is not necessarily a bad thing. In the end, it could really help to strengthen your business.
Niche Service or Clean It All?
One of the things that you might want to consider when you are trying to become the best commercial cleaning master franchise for cleaning services is whether you want to offer cleaning services to a wide variety of facilities, or if you want to specialize in a certain niche. Some types of cleaning franchises might specialize in medical clinics and hospitals, for example. Others might specialize in warehouses. - http://cleaning-
You should look at the properties that are in your territory to see if specialization would make sense for you and for the unit franchises underneath you. For example, you would not want to try to specialize only in the medical field if you only have one hospital and one clinic in the area.
It could be a good idea to think outside of the box when you are trying to find businesses that would need cleaning services. If your territory is near an office park, that's a good opportunity. However, you should consider looking at all of the different options in your territory, from apartment complexes to labs and everything in between.
Putting in Reasonable Bids
One of the problems that many have in the field is that they are putting forth bids that are just too high. You have to make sure that your bids are reasonable. Bid reasonably and offer the best possible service through your franchises, and you will find success. - http://www.prlog.org/

It's a real shame that Upthegrove's bill wasn't adopted. Any perceived harm student speech might create pales in comparision to the harm created by suppressing their free speech rights. What better lesson to teach our youth then that our society is strong enough to withstand opinion, no matter how outside the mainstream.
Maybe next session?
Uh yeah, try telling that to the Supremacist Court.
Jeeeeezus. I just don't get it. The 2006 elections were about as much of a mandate as a party has ever been handed - why on earth the Democratic legislators and Gregoire aren't seizing the opportunity is beyond me.
Student rights? Huh?
I really wanted to see that one pass. My high school, rather the high school I graduated from, is currently dealing with a law suit about this issue. It's near and dear to me.
Here's hoping Upthegrove can pass it next session. :)
All y'all talking about the 2006 elections being a mandate need to pull your heads out of your asses; Democrats are badly split on a number of key issues, and that split is caused by a split in the electorate. Consequently, the "Democratic supermajority" is nothing of the kind; half the Dems in the State and the Federal congresses are effectively part of a third party of what we might call old-school dixicrats; they're a lot more interested in trade policy and increasing rural pork barrel spending than they are in civil liberties and ending the war. It's a mistake to assume that the half of the country that agrees with you about any given subject is the entirety of the Democratic electorate; some of the Democrats that don't support gay marriage or urban density are representing the will of their constituents to the letter.
Meanwhile, by bitching about how spineless the Democrats are, ignorant motherfuckers like the editorial staff of the Stranger enforce the negative images that Republicans use to win elections; don't hand the country over to the Democrats, they're a bunch of pussies who never get anything done.
The reason this is dangerous is that it distracts from what actually needs to happen: urban progressive democrats need to adopt a platform that addresses the needs and desires of those rural dixicrats, and they need to then educate the dixicrats and create consensus around a unified course of action.
But no, don't do that: sit around on the slog and criticize because you're too fucking cool to be useful.
Judah you're really confused if you think that referring to rural Democrats as Dixiecrats is a compliment or a way to build common cause between them and Democrats in cities. Dixiecrats were Southern segregationists who split from the Democratic party in 1948 to protest Truman's embrace of civil rights. They effectively scared Congress into killing civil rights movement progress from 1948-60. Most of them still around in the 1960s voted for Goldwater and Nixon before finally abandoning the party altogether in the 1970s.
Are you me?
Yeah WF, believe it or not I was actually aware of that when I used the term-- I didn't just pull it out of my ass. That's the whole point: the people I'm calling dixicrats are actively hostile to a lot of the key planks in the urban progressive platform, so they're willing to trade those points in order to gain concessions from the Republicans on issues where urban Democrats refuse to get in line behind the rural Democratic agenda. If you'd used the time you spent Googling the history of the term to actually think about what the fuck I was saying, the point implied by its use might have impressed itself upon you.
So, just as a hypothetical: why the fuck would a rural Democrat support a civil rights bill that urban Dems are backing when urban Democrats refuse to support the pork barrel highways program that a lot of the rural Democrat's constituents use to pay their bills. Meanwhile, the rural Democrat can trade his or her vote on that civil rights bill to conservative religious Republicans in exchange for support on the highway spending.
The smart play for urban Democrats would be to recognize the needs of the rural Democrat and try to figure out some way to funnel money into that rural district that's more in line with our political goals. For example; if that district has a lot of farming, try to legislate local procurement requirements that would purchase some of those farms' goods at fixed rates over a specified contract period. That gives us local food with fewer food miles and all that other good shit, buys us rural votes and gives us something to sell to the rural Democrat in exchange for his or her vote on our civil rights bill.
But instead of delving into any of that complexity, Josh Feit just gives us the same old bullshit about do-nothing Democrats, enforcing the Republican political campaign and reducing our chances of keeping Democrats in office. Because it's always easier to be a critic than a reporter.
Fuck all you commies.
If kids had free speech, we'd see nothing but skateboarding stories, crappy music reviews, and adds for sex work.
Oh wait,
I am thinking of the Stranger. My bad.
The system is also set up to resist change. From committees to amendments to procedural motions, minorities(party or faction) and individuals can effectively scuttle legislation.
Thats why one session is never enough. In other systems it might be, but not this one. thats why we have to preserve the Dem majority and even expand it. We did get a lot out of this session including a landmark domestic partnership law, a pretty great budget, and the chance to vote on a simple majority for school levies.
How nice for Oregon.
Judah's in a bad mood today. Somebody should go give him a hug.
Rural counties already get much more government money than they pay in taxes. They're also practically drowning in agricultural subsidies. We're supposed to give the fuckers more even as they spurn big government?
keshmeshi --
No, we should target our subsidies and make sure they're advancing our local agenda. For example a lot of the agricultural subsidies they're getting right now are federal industry subsidies, and don't take local planning into account. There are things we, in the city, need that rural districts can give us. Like wind power. Like biomass plants. Like raw materials for regional manufacturing. Like carbon mitigation. National and international economic concerns have undermined regional planning; that could be reversed.
Also, your attitude about this is rubbish; a lot of the things cities get from rural areas are completely underpriced due to, for example, labor policy: if we phased illegal immigrants out of agriculture and paid domestic farmworkers the minimum wage, the price of agricultural products would skyrocket and real estate values in rural counties would go up as well. This would expand their tax bases so they wouldn't be taking as many handouts from cities. Meanwhile, food prices would radically alter the disposition of income in cities.
The asymmetrical relationship of urban/rural economies is, to some extent, the result of specific policies pursued by corporate interests who basically did to domestic farming what Wal*Mart has done to manufacturing by artificially reducing the prices of goods at market through lobbying and price fixing at distribution bottlenecks. The result is a degraded rural economy that operates significantly beneath market strength in order to support the urban economy (and that's coming back to bite us in the ass, btw; food prices are going up fast, now that the manufacturing economy is being depressed relative to the cost of agriculture).
So copping attitude about rural subsidies, while it's somewhat justified, is also somewhat bullshit.
Think about that the next time you're at the grocery store paying ten cents for an apple that's actually worth a dollar.

The Gunners boss says it is "crazy" that clubs are trying to spend vast sums of money this summer but also admits that he feels under pressure to splash the cash himselfArsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that Real Madrid's £100 million pursuit of Tottenham winger Gareth Bale "makes a joke" of Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations.
The Frenchman has so far been frustrated in his attempts to reinforce his squad this summer, with Napoli outspending the Gunners for Gonzalo Higuain, while Liverpool continue to hold firm over Luis Suarez.
And, after being asked about Madrid's potential world-record capture of the Welshman, Wenger wondered how clubs can continue to splash the cash despite Uefa's plans to curb spending.

Arsenal have around £70m in transfer funds available to them this summer and sections of the club's support have grown restless that no big-name arrivals have come through the door of the Emirates Stadium so far.
Wenger, who has long been a target for criticism from some fans, admits he is feeling the heat.
"If you say we're under pressure to spend money, yes we are," he noted, "but I feel more under pressure to spend the money in the right way and that's what I'll try to do. We want to spend it if it strengthens our team. Just spending the money's not a quality.
"Spending the money, buying the right players, that's a quality, of course.
"If you can give me names who are better than the players we have, I am ready to talk about it."

After searching extensively online and on this site I haven't found an answer. I've seen other users that have 'Send As' permission issues but that is not entirely the case here...
We have an Exchange 2007 server running. Most of our users connect either via webmail or IMAPS/SMTP. Occasionally I've had a few user's report that they were unable to send mail. I'd check their 'Send As' permissions and sure enough 'NT AUTHORITY/SELF' was missing. I'd add it back in and all would be well.
What happened to my account yesterday made me think this was a symptom of an ongoing problem. I had that error happen to me went in and checked and sure enough me 'Send As' permissions didn't include 'NT AUTHORITY/SELF'. I added the permission back and went about my business. Two hours later the same thing happened and I had to re-add the permission. This morning it happened once again. My account had not locked out or otherwise been disabled though I don't think that should have any effect on the permissions anyway.
Does anyone have any idea why users would spontaneously have 'NT AUTHORITY/SELF' removed from their 'Send As' permissions?

I think i would have gone head first, no chance of annoying interlopers then.
That is SOOOO "Fargo"!!! I love it!!!!
This is so not the way I want to go. Unless, of course, someone was filming.
Aw the only drawback to reading Slog is knowing exactly what will be in Last Days each week in advance, which used to be my favorite part
When contemplating suicide one should always remember that Murphy's Law still applies.
Poor bastard.
Jesus. I've fed those beasts before. that's terrifying. I was standing next to one once when someone fed some debris that happened to include an old lead sash weight from a window. That thing shot fist-sized chunks of its blades a quarter-mile into the woods.
The most common and cliched reaction I hear to suicide is that it's "cowardly" and that only weak people kill themselves. I, however, could not disagree more. No doubt plenty would also opine that diving head-first into a wood chipper is just plain dumb, and that may be, but it's also damn ballsy, and clearly the will of a firmly resolute (read: forceful, not weak) suicide.
If the operator hadn't shut it off, would the cops/insurance companies have hassled him? God forbid the guy got arrested for smoking pot 15 years ago, the P-I would put him on the front page.
Still, attempted-suicide dude is going to be a mess. A horribly handicapped mess.
I have this (half-baked) theory that everybody (or at least everybody that is occasionally prone to think about things like this) has a "way they would go" if they committed suicide. A visual in their head when suicidal thoughts rear their head.
Otherwise, people would just do it in the most painless way possible, and there wouldn't be things like Elliott Smith stabbing himself in the heart and this guy. I get nervous around guns because for many years that was my visual.
Garden burger, anyone?
Gawd damn, the Slog sucks today.
And yeah, shutting it off was, while understandable, a regrettable action.
@10: I'm not conspiracy theorist, but I find it entirely unlikely that Elliott Smith's death was unassisted.
As far as the witness report of "guts hanging out," that sounds like an exaggeration, considering the other reporting on the extent of the injury. Perhaps the witness mistook shredded, stringy, bloody muscle and tendons for "guts."
This also reminds me of this guy in Maine who has no face (and no, it's not Mel Gibson). The poor dude tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun, but instead he just blew off his face and survived. Faceless. Forever. Well, not forever, but you get the idea. Thought your life sucked before? Try living without a face!
I can't imagine that, upon seeing someone jump into a wood chipper, that anyone would mull over which "option" is more "humane."
So glad I was eating when I read that, I guess it's my own fault that the title "Suicide and Wood Chippers" didn't tip me off.
Well, that's just gross. And messy. Wonder who had to clean that up?
Well if he wasn't feeling very chipper before he dove in ...
@13 - I agree about Elliott Smith -- there's all the speculation about his girlfriend, etc. But, when I first saw the headline about him stabbing himself in the heart, that's when the thought about "everyone must have some way they envision killing themselves" popped into my head.
If I may usurp Will in Seattle's role for a moment... Bob @17 FTW.
It sounds like the operator of the wood chipper tried to shut off the machine before it could hurt the poor guy--he was leaping to the ground to shut it off before the guy had even jumped. He was, of course, too late. But he had no way of knowing that, and he probably felt like he had to try. Actually, he probably felt nothing of the sort; I imagine it was a split-second gut reaction, not a logically reasoned one. And once the machine is off, of course you can't start it back up to finish off the job. There's no real better-case scenario here.
Gotta side with @20 on this one. Unless the operator somehow miraculously had time to look in the chipper, assess the guy's situation, think "Would he be better off if I let him finish getting ground up?" - by which time the point would have been moot, of course.
And being a stout defender of personal responsibility, I must point out that Wood Chipper Jumper Dude chose a method of suicide that was not foolproof, and failed. The responsibility for his future pain and suffering lies squarely upon his own shoulders (shoulder? I guess he's only got the one left) and the operator shares none of it.
OMFG. I used to use a wood chipper for work (not this large, though) and the thought of something like this happening freaked the fuck out of me. Those really big ones are crazy.
They should've just let the machine grind on.
Julie, I had this conversation just yesterday at work! We decided that being forcefed till your stomach burst would probably suck, as would being eaten alive by dachsunds (imagine the dissonance: Dachsunds -- so cute! AAAAAH THEY'RE EATING ME ALIVE! But... they're SO CUTE!)
Anyway, my death of choice had me in a plastic-lined bathtub (no mess), listening to 'Bolero', covered in rose petals, being poisoned by a combination of Cointreau and sleeping pills.
I think it was just a cry for help.
I had a friend back east who was permanently blind from a suicide attempt in 1983. I used to read mail for him and assist him with paying bills and running various household errands. Today he has earned his college degree online using sound computer software and has married a wonderful (normal visioned) woman with whom he is very happy.
Don't really have a point; just thought I would share. But I somehow don't think Wood Chipper Guy will be able to put his life back together as successfully after his attempt to end it.
13, live and learn--and resolve to do a better job of it next time. which of course, you would if you were even worse off than you were the first time you tried.

the solutions is here:
the solutions is here:
This dosen't solve the issue... (for me at least!) The link you posted is for a different issue not related to the one being discussed in this thread...
I looked at your page and I think I have a solution.
There is a conflict of names that drives WordPress crazy:
1. the base category name you have chosen is: "blog"
2. the static page name with a blogging template is also: "blog"
The solution is just to change the static page's name.
1. Go to Dashboard/ Manage/ Page
2. Choose to edit the page "Blog"
3. Change the name of this page to "My Blog" (for example)
4. Edit the permalink below to: http://www.creativeworld.com.au/my-blog/ (for example)
Hope it helps.
Thanks for taking a look gregory.poland!
I actually found the same solution by testing a lot of different configurations... basically I found that if the static page for your blog posts is called "ABC" and the permalinks structure has the same base ie- "ABC/date/category/post-name", WordPress goes crazy with conflicting names... (well, only in the pagination department!)
My configuration:
mydomain.com/blog/ < Static page for blog post
mydomain.com/blog/category/post-title < Permalink structure for blog posts
What you've suggested is:
mydomain.com/my-blog/ < Static page for blog post
mydomain.com/blog/category/post-title < Permalink structure for blog posts
Unfortunately for me, renaming the static page or permalink base is just not an option - It dosen't make sense from website structure point of view.. any other ideas?
I do have an idea on a fix - I think the variable needs to be used in the same place - as mentioned, WordPress will see the static page for posts "ABC" and permalink base "ABC" as two different objects... but perhaps they need to be the same?? - ie:
I have no idea how to solve the problem but really hope someone can share the solution soon!!
Thank you for documenting this. I agree with you that changing the structure isn't an ideal solution.
My biggest concern is if your site has been up for a while you will be destroying any page ranking you may have. Basically search engines will see these as new pages (at least from my experience). This has been a known problem since 2.5.0 and I am bummed to see that it doesn't appear to be on the 2.6.1 release. That means that it will be several more months before it gets corrected.
In 2.5 there was a hack around it but I haven't seen anything for the last two versions. I tried raising the status of the bug but it just got reset.
As a PHP hobbiest I tried to determine the solution myself but unfortunately the rewrite section is above my skill level.
If anyone can shed some light and expidite a solution please let me know how.
I was having the same problem, am using 2.6, and just fixed it using Ryan's recommended method from here.
So far I have not seen any negative side-effects.
After spending the past 6 weeks searching the web for a fix to this problem I finally found one that actually works!
The code he created was to fix an issue with WP 2.2.1, but works perfectly in 2.6! Hopefully this will be helpful for the rest of you guys.
This is very confusing...
Much like jk079, I am also running a custom frontpage.
(WP 2.6) When I go into Settings > Permalinks > Custom Structure and type in "http://www.kimstewart.ca/blog/%postname%/" it fixes the pagination issue on my blog.
However, when I click a post, it also adds the extra "http://www.kimstewart.ca/" ... lol
I also noticed that WordPress adds an extra "/" in front of anything you type into the Custom Structure box. ... This may be the problem?
Any ideas how to fix?
WOW.. I don't know how to say this, but I gave the original fix by Ryan another go after markmathson said it solved his issue.. and what do you know - it worked!
I'm a bit lost for words.. I had tried it a number of times, step by step, honestly.. and nothing happened! but today the sun is shinning and it appears to be working very nicely!
Here's the proof: My blog's page 2 at Creative World :)
Just want to say big thank you to all who helped out in looking/finding/solving the problem and solution. It was much appreciated.
You're right! It's working, creativeworldstudio! Thanks for the tip. Maybe it was the latest WordPress 2.6.1 upgrade that allowed this fix to work, or maybe I forgot to hit Save Changes after I made changes to rewrite.php, but it is indeed finally working!
For all of those that don't know what to do, just do *exactly* this:
in "/wp-includes/rewrite.php"
replace "$this->use_verbose_page_rules = false;"
with "$this->use_verbose_page_rules = true;"
Then go into WordPress CMS, click Settings->Permalinks page and click "Save Changes".
Done! :)
Thankfully this fixed resolved the issue for me too, without having to change the structure of my permalinks or the name of my static post page.
And finally I understand why it is happening, with my static post page ("blog") matching the opening subfolder of my permalink structure (/blog/%postname%/).
At least they now co-exist without having to change either setting, until the issue is fully resolved without manual editing of rewrite.php!
Thanks to all above in this thread for sorting it out, posting solutions and making it easier for me. I've had this issue in the past and never got it resolved until now.
OK, I am getting a 404 again when I click previous entries... Anybody else having the same issue all of a sudden?
Hey i found I was having this issue (where the "previous entries" link on the front page would return a 404) and I tried everything people said on here to no avail.
As I re-read the comments I noticed that someone mentioned the permalinks rewrite plug-in and a light bulb went off over my head. All i had to do was add:
into the first box in this plug-in (the one titled "Paths to be skipped Separate each entry with a new line. Matched with regular expression.") and save it.
Now my site is working correctly
Just wanted to say that jrm213 had the only solution that worked for me (see above). Nice work and thanks!
Arhhh.. I upgraded my blog 2 weeks ago and thought this bug had been fixed. Silly me for assuming as today I notice that my pagination hasn't been working.
I'm disappointed to see this major bug didn't get addressed in 2.6 and 2.7 (after it was discovered in 2.3 / 2.5 !) - Fingers crossed it can be sorted in 2.8.
(btw- the original fix still solves the issue)
I ran into this issue as well. I attempted to "fix" it:
Anyone willing to test it out?
You are my hero! :)
Your patch did the trick for me and my permalink problem on WP2.7.
Look at http://sokai.name/blog/ and use the links "Ältere Beiträge" und "Neuere Beiträge".
That page (slug: "blog") is a static page for my posts.
As custom permalinks I use "/blog/%postname%/".
Thanks again... Now my next wish is changing the default pagination text "page"... ;)
*damn* ...now I can't see any post I wrote... (Just click on a post title and you will get a 404.)
Someone can make another suggestion!? *hopeso*
I'm willing to make some tests! :)

Boeing's 787 Dreamliner the quietest jumbo yet?
- From: news.com.au
- April 29, 2011
YOU'LL be stunned into silence watching a new video of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner jet being put to the noise test.
In stark contrast to most jumbo jets, the Dreamliner is so quiet that the sound of birds chirping and cameras clicking near the runway drown out the sound of its approach.
The video shows that Boeing is well on its way to proving that rumours the highly-anticipated - and much-delayed - Dreamliner will be the quietest commercial jumbo jet of its class are true.
Scroll down for a video comparing the 787 noise to that of a traditional jet.
In fact Boeing says it is as much as 60 per cent quieter than today's comparable aeroplanes, according to early data.
It's good news not only for tired passengers who in the past have fought to fall sleep to the sound of roaring jet engines, but also for people living in flight paths.
The test involved embedding ultra-sensitive microphones along the runway while pilots performed multiple take-offs and approaches, testing each engine thrust setting to see how much noise the plane generated.
Design changes made the noise reduction possible. The wide-body plane is the first passenger jet to be largely built from lightweight and environmentally friendly composite material.
The jets were fitted with very high bypass-ratios, advanced acoustic linings, new engine inlets and nozzles and a more aerodynamic wing.
"We have gone to great strides to try to reduce the noise signature of the aeroplanes to be better stewards of the environment, better stewards of the community," Boeing test pilot Captain Craig Bomben said.
The company says that the results are a big leap for the aviation industry.
With a list price of around $186 million for a basic model, the Dreamliner is configured in two versions - a 787-8 carrying 210-250 passengers and a 787-9 carrying almost 300 people.
The jetliner has been plagued by problems since the program launched in 2004. However Boeing says it hopes to deliver as many as 20 new Dreamliners by the end of the year.

I have a working application that is deployed to all our Win 7 PC's across a national network. This application uses a 3rd party SDK from Brother printers.
We now have the situation where the new Win 8 PC's won't run the application as the SDK / assemblies from Brother are not Win 8 Compatible (and currently they have no plan to make them compatible).
Is there any way I can set up a service or an exe to run in Win 7 Mode, like you could do in Win 7 for XP programs?

Moderates can lead the way

There is one empirical and one absolute mathematical maxim to consider if one wants to win an election. Unfortunately, some Democrats on the far left are out of touch with these realities:
1. If you throw donkey dung, you are going to stink of it, and the majority of voters will not vote for you.
2. If you do not reach out to the majority of the voters, you will not win the majority of the votes.
These points were nicely summed up by Virginia Gov. (and possible presidential candidate) Mark Warner while speaking at the Florida Democratic Convention on Dec. 11. "You have to go beyond simply criticizing the other guys. You've got to also show where you want to head, and I think you also have to be willing to say that you'll work with anyone to get there."
On the other hand, many thoughtful Republicans are embarrassed that their party, which is controlled by the far right, will be held responsible for record deficits, a poor response to Hurricane Katrina, indicted congressional leaders, unprecedented war profiteering with over $10 billion in nonbid contracts to the vice president's former company (Halliburton), the graphic revelations of torture, the disclosure of spying on Americans by our government, and a costly pre-emptive war, where even President Bush conceded on Dec. 15 that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong.
Fortunately, it looks like there may finally be a new moderate bipartisanship in Washington that recently passed bills in both the House and the Senate outlawing torture. They also agreed to revisit the Patriot Act. Americans can move forward when we work together.
