This is, quite obviously, a very dangerous practice. Police Ohief Nelson will contact the family of any student vioiating this regulate- ion. So, please, let's have diikfren using sideiwalks whenever possible instead of the trigihiway. Although tbe school ttas no legal aidtiority io regard to traffic on the public streets, we would like to make a few suggestions to dri¬ vers operating on the streets £tfx>und) the sohool. Let us remember that the legal speed limit in the school area is 15 m.p.h. Unfortunately, very few people adhere to this limit. Also, a poor idea is to let child¬ ren out of cars white parked on the west side of Lincoln because it makes it necessary for the child to cross traffic in oitker to get to the school. As illustr^ed on the map below, we ask those coming from the east to use tbe new Mill Street, unlioad all students (Ugk scfaool and^ mentur)4(B th*emliriie of Street and exit on Lincoln to Main. Tliose from the west (and those who want to use the High School parking lot) can enter on Linctdn from Main but drive around the square using Heinz and Sunset in order to enter LincoOn Street where you will merge with the flow of traffic, unload children and exit on Lincoln to Main Street No one is to drive on the east side of the Elementary school be¬ tween t*ie hours of 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. unless given permission by school personnel. ..Please be careful — AVOID A NEEDLESS TRAGEDY. Have yoo noticed that your car is looking a little dull and lacklus¬ ter lately. Has the chrome lost it's gleam? Are your whitewalls more of a tattletale grey? If the answer to these questions is "yes" - dkxn't dispair! Help is 'near! On August 19th, the Huntley High School Cheerleaders and Color Guard will be at the Firebam with sponge and chamois in hand just waiting for you to drive up and watch while they clean your car until it sparkles like new.

On load change css/hyperlink
i have a php include that has 4 links, home, products, about us, contact us. Fine, i am loading the php include file into each page. The include file has all the respective hyperlink, however i would like when each page is loaded, for example the "About us" page that the css changes the type to "Bold" and a different color and also the hyperlink goes away so the user cannot click it. I would like this on all 4 pages. Can you help me?I've always done this by creating a separate style for the link of the "live" page and applying it to that li. For a site with only four pages, that's not a heck of a lot of work. That said, if there's a simpler way of doing it (and there probably is), I'd be glad to know it.I usually just give the  a class on each page, which is matched on the links. You then have this for example:
HTML ... <?php include('nav.php'); ?> ...

Home

Contact Us

About Us

CSSbody.home li.home a,
body.contact-us li.contact-us a,
body.about-us li.about-us a {
color: grey;
cursor: default;
font-weight: bold;
So this is the most basic way to do it. The only problem is that the hyperlink does not go away (that could be done in JavaScript, but it would be too much work for such a trivial thing), but the cursor pretends there isn't one there, which'll dissuade the user from clicking it hopefully. And if they do, well they only reload the page.Or just put this line of jQuery in that Chris just tweeted:$("a[href='" + document.location.pathname + "']").addClass("current");
Then just add styles for .current in your CSS.Forgot to mention that in the method I describe above I generally eliminate the hyperlink, keeping only the menu item:

This is the first song of Noah and Whales new album first days of spring if you would like to download it go to http://www.noahandthewhale.com/FDOS.html.
Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition time between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. The specific definition of the exact timing of "spring" varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. At the spring equinox, days are close to 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season progresses.
Meteorologists generally define four seasons in many climatic areas: spring, summer, autumn (or fall) and winter. These are demarcated by the values of their average temperatures on a monthly basis, with each season lasting three months. The three warmest months are by definition summer, the three coldest months are winter, and the intervening gaps are spring and autumn. Spring, when defined in this manner, can start on different dates in different regions. In terms of complete months, in most North Temperate Zone locations, spring months are March, April and May, although differences exist from country to country.[1] (Summer is June, July, August; autumn is September, October, November; winter is December, January, February). The vast majority of South Temperate Zone locations will have opposing seasons with spring in September, October and November.
In the USA and some other regions in the Northern Hemisphere, the astronomical March equinox (currently around 21 March) is often taken to mark the first day of spring, and the Northern solstice is sometimes taken as the first day of summer (usually 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere). In another US tradition, 2 February, Candlemas, can be regarded as the start of spring if it is mild (see Groundhog Day). In South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, spring begins on 1 September, and has no relation to the vernal equinox.[2] In Ireland spring traditionally starts on 1 February, St Brigid's Day,[3] although Irish meteorologists consider the whole of February to be part of winter.[4][5]
In South America, the Tupi-Guaraní calendar, from the former inhabitants of what is presently Brazil, Northern Argentina and Paraguay, counted 365 days, plus a fourth part of a day, needing no extra day every four years. The beginning of the solar year was marked by the rising of the M25 Constellation in the horizon, which occurs between June 5 and June 11 in this part of the world. For these native people, the four seasons were clearly identified by the solstices and equinoxes[citation needed]. The trajectory of the Sun throughout the year was divided into "The New Age" (Ara Pyau) and "The Old Age" (Ara Ymã). Ara Pyau was spring and summer, and Ara Ymã was autumn and winter. This calendar, which had no graphed or written form, marked activities such as hunting, fishing, planting, harvesting and religious rituals.[6][7][8]
In East Asian Solar term, spring begins on 4 February and ends on 5 May. Similarly, according to the Celtic tradition, which is based solely on daylight and the strength of the noon sun, spring begins in early February (near Imbolc or Candlemas) and continues until early May (Beltane).
Swedish meteorologists define the beginning of spring as the first occasion on which the average daytime temperature exceeds zero degrees Celsius for seven consecutive days, thus the date varies with latitude and elevation.[9]
The phenological definition of spring relates to indicators, the blossoming of a range of plant species, and the activities of animals, or the special smell of soil that has reached the temperature for micro flora to flourish. It therefore varies according to the climate and according to the specific weather of a particular year.
Contents |
In spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to "spring forth," giving the season its name. Snow, if a normal part of winter, begins to melt, and streams swell with runoff. Frosts, if a normal part of winter, become less severe. In climates that have no snow and rare frosts, the air and ground temperature increases more rapidly. Many flowering plants bloom this time of year, in a long succession sometimes beginning even if snow is still on the ground, continuing into early summer. In normally snowless areas "spring" may begin as early as February (Northern Hemisphere) heralded by the blooming of deciduous magnolias, cherries, and quince, or August (Southern Hemisphere) in the same way. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, or monsoonal, or cyclonic. Often the cultures have locally defined names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe. Many temperate areas have a dry spring, and wet autumn (fall), which brings about flowering in this season more consistent with the need for water as well as warmth. Subarctic areas may not experience "spring" at all until May or even June, or December in the outer Antarctic.
While spring is a result of the warmth caused by the turning of the Earth's axis, the weather in many parts of the world is overlain by events which appear very erratic taken on a year-to-year basis. The rainfall in spring (or any season) follows trends more related to longer cycles or events created by ocean currents and ocean temperatures. Good and well-researched examples are the El Niño effect and the Southern Oscillation Index.
Unstable weather may more often occur during spring, when warm air begins on occasions to invade from lower latitudes, while cold air is still pushing on occasions from the Polar regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year because of snowmelt, accelerated by warm rains. In the United States, Tornado Alley is most active this time of year, especially since the Rocky Mountains prevent the surging hot and cold air masses from spreading eastward and instead force them into direct conflict. Besides tornadoes, supercell thunderstorms can also produce dangerously large hail and very high winds, for which a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is usually issued. Even more so than in winter, the jet streams play an important role in unstable and severe weather in the springtime in the Northern Hemisphere.
In recent decades season creep has been observed, which means that many phenological signs of spring are occurring earlier in many regions by a couple of days per decade.
Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born. The term is also used more generally as a metaphor for the start of better times, as in the Prague Spring. Spring in the Southern Hemisphere is different in several significant ways to that of the Northern Hemisphere. This is because: there is no land bridge between Southern Hemisphere countries and the Antarctic zone capable of bringing in cold air without the temperature-mitigating effects of extensive tracts of water; the vastly greater amount of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere at all latitudes; at this time in Earth's geologic history the Earth has an orbit which brings it in closer to the Southern Hemisphere for its warmer seasons; there is a circumpolar flow of air (the roaring 40s and 50s) uninterrupted by large land masses; no equivalent jet streams; and the peculiarities of the reversing ocean currents in the Pacific.
Akitu (Sumerian Akiti-šekinku "cutting of barley", Akiti-šununum "sowing of barley", Babylonian rêš-šattim "head of the year") was a spring festival in ancient Mesopotamia. The name is from the Sumerian for "barley", originally marking two festivals celebrating the beginning of each of the two half-years of the Sumerian calendar, marking the sowing of barley in autumn and the cutting of barley in spring, in the month of Nisannu (Aries). In Babylonian religion it came to be dedicated to Marduk's victory over Tiamat.
The annual Spring Racing Carnival of thoroughbred horse racing events is held in Melbourne in October and November, with large crowds attending. The Melbourne Cup, held on the first Tuesday of November, is Australia's premier horse race and is recognised as a public holiday in the state of Victoria and the territory of the nation's capital, Australian Capital Territory. It is also referred to as The race that stops a nation.
The first day of spring (celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on 21 March or the previous or following day depending on where it is observed) is the beginning of the new year, Nowruz, in the Iranian calendar. Nowruz (also Naw-Rúz, Norooz, Newroz, Navroj, and many other variants) which means "New Day" in Persian language, marks an important traditional holiday festival celebrated in Iran as well as in many other countries with a significant population of Persian people, such as Azerbaijan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and by Kurdish communities in Turkey and Iraq and elsewhere.
1 May is the date of many public holidays.[10] In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labour movement. As a day of celebration the holiday has ancient origins, and it can relate to many customs that have survived into modern times. Many of these customs are due to May Day being a cross-quarter day, meaning that (in the Northern Hemisphere where it is almost exclusively celebrated) it falls approximately halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. In the Celtic tradition, this date marked the end of Spring and the beginning of Summer. In line with this, Ireland celebrates St Brigid's Day (1 February) as the first day of Spring.
Easter is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[11] Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the "third day"[12] (two days after his crucifixion), and celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day, two days after Good Friday. The date of Easter varies between 22 March and 25 April in Western tradition, and between 4 April and 8 May in Eastern Christianity.
Holi, the festival of colors, celebrated at the end of the winter season, is the most vibrant festival of colours celebrated by Hindus in India. People throw water and apply colour powders on each other.
Vasant Panchami is celebrated in North India on the fifth day of the Indian month Magh (January–February), the first day of spring. Sankranti and Thai Pongal are celebrated in Maharashtra and South India (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu) in mid-January to mark the beginning of the spring season. 1 May is the date of many public holidays.[10] In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labour movement. As a day of celebration the holiday has ancient origins, and it can relate to many customs that have survived into modern times. Many of these customs are due to May Day being a cross-quarter day, meaning that (in the Northern Hemisphere where it is almost exclusively celebrated) it falls approximately halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. In the Celtic tradition, this date marked the end of Spring and the beginning of Summer. In line with this, Ireland celebrates St Brigid's Day (1 February) as the first day of Spring.
In Assam and other North-eastern states of India, Rongali Bihu is celebrated for seven days from April 13 to 19. This is a harvesting festival, celebrated by all the sections of the community, which makes it truly special from other Indian festivals which are more religious as the people of Assam finds it more dear than its other festivals...
Cultural anthropological history of the 'Traditional New Year' which is celebrated on month of April, goes back to an ancient period in Sri Lankan history. Various beliefs, perhaps those associated with fertility of the harvest, gave birth to many rituals, customs, and ceremonies connected with the New Year. The advent of Buddhism in the 3rd century BC (300 BC) led to a re-interpretation of the existing New Year activities in a Buddhist light. The majority of the people in the country are Buddhists and Hindus, and as such, it is the Buddhist outlook that was predominant in transforming the New Year rites to what they are now.
Vietnamese use the traditional lunar as well as the modern solar calendar. They celebrate Vietnamese New Year in late January or early February is also known as the beginning of Spring. The lunar calendar is used mainly to divide the year into seasons for agriculture purposes. In the old days, the celebration used to last the entire month of January of the lunar calendar. Traditionally, firecrackers are used on New Year's Eve, or đêm giao thừa in Vietnamese, to scare away bad spirits and souls.

Though sold-out for new foursomes, Memorial Park Conservancy is well on its way to celebrate its 5th Annual Golf Tournament to honor President George H. W. Bush. Co-chairs Steve Gibson and Pat Nowotny joined forces to bring together a stellar host committee and an exciting day of play. His grandson, Pierce Bush, will give a special tribute to his volunteer service. A special pre-event for host committee members will take place at new venue, The Experience, 3033 W. Alabama, on Monday, May 17, 5:30-7 p.m. The following day, May 18, golf professional Mark O'Meara will share his secrets with golfers one half hour before lunch at noon. Play begins at 1 p.m. Join us now to steal the tournament win from last year's team; prizes will be awarded to the top three teams. An auction filled with golf outings, celebrity-signed sports memorabilia, weekend stays for bargain prices await the avid shopper. All proceeds benefit Memorial Park Conservancy and its ongoing efforts to improve and maintain Memorial Park. Opportunities are still available to sponsor the drink carts and to receive hole sponsor recognition for your company. Swing in to support of Memorial Park!
Memorial Park Conservancy through Gulf Coast Landscaping completed Lauren Griffith & Associates design to beautify and renew the plaza in front of the Tennis Center. Native plantings will be placed mid-May. You still have a chance to purchase 12" x 12" pavers for $1,000 each - available through our website on the home page under the Tennis Plaza Renovation button on the right. Please be aware that pavers donated now will be placed after the end of the year. Our sincere thanks to the many donors who helped this happen in Memorial Park. Jog, walk or ride by to see the new beautiful installation!
Our next effort will be focused on a 2-mile Outer Loop that mirrors the Seymour Lieberman. The all-weather trail will extend from the west to Arnot on the east and be landscaped with native trees as we go. We anxiously await Houston Parks & Recreation Department's approval of the SWA Group's design of this much-needed extra trail around the most populous track in the park. We look forward to sharing more of this plan with you in the months to come! Contributions are gladly accepted via our website.
Memorial Park Conservancy's Second "4 the Park" Fun Run Huge Success
What a beautiful day! Conservancy Board Member Blaine Adams chaired this year's spectacularly planned "4 the Park" Fun Run on April 3. More than 1,600 runners/walkers took to the streets surrounding Memorial Park on a gorgeous spring day. Matt Lucas and Suraiya Gerrie, Marketing Director, of Luke's Locker, teamed with MPC's staff to create an outstanding event.
KHOU-TV, Channel 11's news reporter Christina Haas, Council Member Stephen Costello and Council Member Oliver Pennington, former MPC Board Chairman and MPC Board Member were on hand. North Post Oak Lofts, a development of SUEBA USA was the presenting sponsor, along with returning sponsors KBR, Adidas, Koala Health & Wellness and 002 Magazine. New sponsors were Houston Marathon Foundation, Health & Fitness Magazine and CenterPoint Energy. Silver Eagle / Michelob Ultra was again the post race party sponsor providing the band, stage and beverages!
Local Houston restaurants were well represented and we could not have had sucha a great post race party without them! Thank you to all who contributed: Beck's Prime, Vitamin Water, Whole Foods, Smoothie King, Latin Specialties, Salata, Hungry's Cafe, Los Cucos, The Fruit Palette, Hot Bagel Shop, Banyan Foods, Fins Seafood & Sushi, Firkin and Pheonix, Tintos, Freebirds World Burrito, El Rey, Raku Sushi, Katz Coffee, Epicurian Delight, Monster Energy, My Fit Foods, Olive Cafe, Rawfully Organic, Suffuse Tea and California Pizza Kitchens.
Awards were distributed to the Overall Winner Male & Female, Overall Master Winner Male & Female and to the top three winners Male & Female. Thank you to Continental Airlines, Hotel Sorella, Weight Control by Shaun Eckhardt, Luke's Locker and California Pizza Kitchen for awards for all the winners.
A special THANK YOU to the more than 150 volunteers that helped make the event run smoothly. We could not have done things as well without those who helped with registration, managing the shuttle buses, helping with the vendors and the not always fun task of hauling garbage. We are truly grateful for all of those who volunteered!
And lastly, many thanks to our additional sponsors who helped make the second annual "4 the Park" Fun Run such a successful event: Amegy Bank, Impressions Bridal, Moss Landscaping, El Meson, Beck & Masten GMC, Nick Lopez Tailoring, Tommie Vaughn Ford, Green Mountain Energy, Clark Condon Associates, My Fit Foods, The Washington Wave, Waste Management, and Green Bank.
Thanks to our many participants! We can't wait to see you again next year!
Park Safety
As the days get warmer and longer, there will be more and more people within the park. Just a few reminders to keep everyone safe:
1. Lock your car as you leave it and take your key with you! Do not leave valuables in your car! Unfortunately there have been some car break-ins within the park. Protect yourself and your possessions by placing valuables out of sight. Help everyone stay safe by being safe yourself.
2. Be mindful of pedestrians. Pedestrians, including runners, have the right of way at stop signs and street crossings. Pedestrians should also pay attention to cars as drivers may be distracted and not see you.
3. Bicyclists are considered vehicles. Cars should pay attention to cyclists while parking and leaving the park. Bicyclists must obey the rules of the road as well. And remember, you may not be easily visible to drivers, so please be observant.
4. Please keep dogs on leash and curb your dog. You may have the greatest dog in the world, but not everyone is a dog lover. Keeping a dog on a leash keeps the dog safe as well. Sudden noises and other dogs may change your otherwise well-behaved animal into a problem. Help keep the park clean and pick up after your dog. Doggie Bags are provided free of charge at five stations throughout the park.
5. And to help keep the park environment clean and safe, please dispose of all litter in trash bins. Recycling is located along Memorial Drive, the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center and at the MP Golf Course.
Have a great and safe Spring!
Memorial Park Conservancy Adopts Hogg Bird Sanctuary
In September, 2009, the MPC Conservation Committee formed a Sub-Committee to create a Hogg Bird Sanctuary Plan, to help guide and protect the 16.472-acre tract that wraps around the Bayou Bend parking lot. The group, comprised of members of Houston Audubon Society, Memorial Park Conservancy, HPARD and the community, meets frequently and has established the following simple key conceptual strategies:
Hogg Bird Sanctuary Bird Survey March 17, 2010
Red-bellied Woodpecker - 2Pileated Woodpecker - 1Red-tailed Hawk - 1Cardinal - 6Blue Jay - 2Titmouse - 2Carolina Wren - 2Great-tailed Grackle - 6Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 1Yellow-rumped Warbler - 3
The group, ably led by Jim Porter, has prepared information to help educate the Conservancy, Memorial Park neighbors and aid HPARD in the communication of an ongoing effort to improve this tract of land for environmental and interpretive use. Stay tuned as we progress!

The VooDoo is Gateway`s 1st putter with a round lip instead of a wedge.
Perfectly round with very little bead to speak of, this disc has a sweet feel in the hand and is made with some of the smoothest plastic ever used in a putter.
Most people take to this putter after just one feel.
Nice in heavy winds as the dispersal is even on top and bottom.
Feels vary...we have some like taffy and some that are of medium stiffness. Please let us know which you prefer in the comment box at Checkout.

- " WORST hostel experience I've ever had. Very careless, disorganized staff!! They ask you to call 1h before arriving. I emailed 2 days ahead to confirm my reservation, then called, texted, AND emailed 2hours before arriving to reconfirm. Nobody responded. When I arrived, nobody was there, phones off, I was left stranded on the street. The next day they called to ask if I still wanted to stay there...no, obviously. They promised to refund deposit, still hasn't come through, no response to emails. "

It's been an interesting weekend.
Yesterday, I went up to Everett to visit a little wine shop called Wicked Cellars. It has a wonderful family ambiance. I met a friend of mine that was doing a tasting of Evening Land wines from Oregon. The wines were good, but it was talking to the people and just hanging out that was wonderful for me. It's a really nice shop, if you happen to be in the area. While I was there, Tom Douglas happened to walk in to buy some wine. He was in Everett for a book signing across the street.
From there, I stopped at the Kirkland location of the big box store. My good friend Lori was there to visit with me. The 2007 Edouard de Rollat Cabernet was the wine that spoke to me. Lori is a great resource, if you happen upon her there. Chateau Rollat is a winery in Walla Walla that has low production. Every year, they have the winemaker from LaTour come to consult with them. The wine they produce is very nice.
Today was a day of celebration. Celebration of life and love.
I chose the Chandon for a private celebration Peter and I had. A good California methode Champenoise standby.

Pick up chicken salad and avocado dip that's prepared and ready to go from your grocer's deli to have this sandwich ready with little work on your part. Individual rolls, sometimes called by their French name petit pain, may be easier to assemble and eat than the baguette slices.
A knife with a serrated blade—sometimes called a sandwich or tomato knife—is just the thing for slicing both the tomatoes and finished sandwiches.

Ehow Has Proven It's Worth
14 comments:
- angelayorke said...
Welcome back! I was quite gutted when I thought you'd stopped writing, but what writer stops writing, right?
Also, thank you for your reviews and write ups; they save me the trouble of signing up for sites that eventually turn out to be scams (and point me to those that aren't)! - December 9, 2010 at 2:25 AM
- JSwindell said...
Glad you're back.
I've linked to you in a couple of articles/posts and was hoping you were just taking a break.
From what I've read you sound pretty real about writing and probably even share the same views as me when it comes to online writing.
Anyway, I wanted to know what your take was on Examiner.com. They don't pay much but truthfully, I don't promote those articles like other stuff I write.
I will say that I've made some unique contacts, not to mention discounts at places like Target (10% or more). I'm not forcing but it's just rare to find another writer with a pragmatic view on web writing for money - December 9, 2010 at 11:26 AM
- Derrick said...
This is encouraging.I joined Bukisa in July and have earned only $5 from 60 referrals.I now use Bukisa to promote my sites,otherwise I dont expect much from there.You seem to be good at SEO.
- December 9, 2010 at 1:09 PM
- Willow Sidhe said...
@angelayorke - I don't think I'll ever stop writing. It pays the bills after all. :) I just might stop writing about writing from time to time. I'm glad you've found the blog helpful and I hope to add more content in the future. Thanks for stopping by!
@JSwindell - I have written for Examiner and I wasn't unhappy with my income, but I was only there a short time. I really don't like their minimum contribution requirement, because I tend to write in phases. I may feel like writing for Bukisa this month and Suite 101 next month. I never know what I might want to do, but I don't like the pressure of knowing that I HAVE to contribute to a site on a regular basis. That was a big turn-off for me with Examiner. Unfortunately, I wasn't there long enough to really say if it's worth it. I know some people do very well there and others hate it. I just know it wasn't for me, but not because of the pay rate.
I'd say if you have the time to make the minimum contributions, you might as well give it a go for a few months and then analyze your earnings before deciding if you want to stick with it. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help! :)
@Derrick - I know what you mean. I didn't expect much from Bukisa when I first started there, either. But, my earnings have really taken off now that I try and find keywords that are easy to rank for. I also have about 165 referrals, but only a handful of them actually write regularly. (Come on referrals, submit some articles! :)) - December 9, 2010 at 3:09 PM
- prerna said...
Welcome back, Willow and really glad to see your residual income has grown beautifully:-) Thanks for sharing your experience with Bukisa.. Have not had much luck with it and stopped writing there a long time ago.. Let me revisit the site and see how it goes..
- December 9, 2010 at 5:52 PM
- JSwindell said...
I haven't exactly kept up my end of the bargain on the 2-3 posts/week promise. It started off as 2x/wk, then once and today its been a little more than a month since my last post. I was just curious because some people slam it and some do the opposite. - December 9, 2010 at 7:52 PM
- Ali B said...
Glad to see you back! Though I am a lurker, I still enjoy your posts very much!
Your information on Buskia is really interesting. I have account there and was wondering if it would be worth it to post more articles there. Now I see that it just may be! - December 10, 2010 at 12:27 PM
- Melanie Bremner said...
Glad I came across your blog. We were discussing in the WAHM forum about how Bukisa is changing their rules now. They have joined the many others who are going to be linking up with Adsense and paying 60% of the shares.
This will all come into affect by Jan.31st. They have stopped recording visits and giving you your pennies. There are no stats to look at anymore on that page. You will need to set up your analytics with you adsense now if you want to keep track of how many people go to your articles.
You will need to change your strategy again, I am afraid. I have been on there for 6 weeks and have made a total of $2.56 from 81 articles. Most I know have no seo but I wasn't gearing towards that either. Now I guess I should look into it more.
Guess we will see how things pan out from here. - December 13, 2010 at 1:18 PM
- Willow Sidhe said...
Hi, Melanie. Yes, i just received the email about Bukisa yesterday. It's really a shame, and just when I was bragging about my earnings, too! I will probably NOT focus on the site anymore, as there are other better ways to make money via Adsense. The only thing Bukisa had going for them was their pay-per-page-view revenue share model. Now that it's gone, I'm not sure the site will be worth my time anymore.

Let us know where you go Willow, because we trust your advice. ;)

Oh Hi Willow! Nice to 'see' you. I was just updating my own blog for the first time in months.(My year end results are up in case you are curious.)
Glad you are well!

- Maria said...
Welcome back, Willow!
I recently posted on my blog about increasing eHow earnings even though we can't write new articles. Nov. and Dec. 2010 have been my best months with eHow to date, so that's encouraging to me.
About Bukisa, I was disappointed to see the change -- especially since for me my network earnings were much more than those form my own content.
I think a well-done niche site of one;s own can be very lucrative ... but rev-share sites still have potential, of course. - January 16, 2011 at 5:14 PM
- MarlaineMarie said...
I also regret not posting more articles on eHow while I could - blast it! How was I supposed to know though? For the first year, I saw very little income. Just as yours are, my earnings are going up per month on the 100+ articles I do have!
I have articles under the name Marlaine Marie Floyd on Gather but have yet to earn anything - considering I only have 9 posts - shrugs............ I am "allowed" to write what I want and when I want to on there though.
I will keep checking things out. Thanks for all the great info! - January 22, 2011 at 1:48 PM
- The Chronicler said...
I just wanted to say your blog has been an invaluable resource! I have been writing full-time from home for about 8 months now, and I am always looking for ways to improve my work and increase my earnings. I currently write the most for Textbroker and Internet Brands with some Content Authority and occasional Niner Niner and Shvoong.com thrown in. I am starting to try my hand at residual sites, though the process has been somewhat slower so far. Your blog is one of my main go-to sites for tips and new writing opportunities; thank you!

with touch devices going stronger and with maybe the possibility of projected keyboards? asked Sep 20 '11 at 23:12 supermati89 |
Physical keyboards still have the tactile feedback, something which not only confirms the sucessful press of a key but also the positioning of your fingers. Also the fact you hve to physically arrange you fingers reduces the chance of slipping or displacing them so you do not need to look at the keyboard to keep checking your positioning. That being something no flat surface or for that matter a touch-screen can provide. answered Sep 20 '11 at 23:42 EnvoyOfTheEnd |
No. Just no. Have you ever tried coding on a touch keyboard? Basically impossible due to how many mistakes are made because of the inability to feel key edges and hear tactile feedback. Innovations will continue to roll in but I do not see keyboards dissapearing; their popularity may dive though. answered Sep 21 '11 at 02:36 guineaphinea |
No, my main workstation will always be a desktop computer with a separate physical keyboard and mouse. answered Sep 21 '11 at 01:54 Tim Fontana |
I believe having a keyboard will still be around for a long time. I deal with using a keyboard a lot over here for creating documents and also do some coding from time to time as well. And the keyboard is essential even for me over here. So keyboards are here to stay. answered Sep 22 '11 at 15:49 Compucore |
How would you game or do any type of coding on a touchscreen. I personally think this whole tablet and multi-touch market is destroying what we know as the true desktop PC... Everyone might decide to go multi-touch, but I believe there will be a small group of users who remain with physical keyboards; basically coders, and other real IT professionals. answered Sep 22 '11 at 16:01 mdzura117 |

Hmmm tough choice I would say Luke fon Fabre is defintely a loser lol. But I would have to say either Nightmare or Lloyd, but Lloyd being an angel at the end of the game and being able to fly yea I'd say he has the advantage.Love... is just a different kind of pain.
other than his blood lusting personality, he has great control of soul edge and in soul calibur 3 he wiped out an entire battlefield with a few swipes and an explosion type thing from where he was standing. i am nothing. i am betsuni.

Final Report |
A growing number of organizations in the United States, supported by public and private funds, are trying to build food systems that simultaneously reap environmental, social and economic advantages for participants and the broader society. Yet articulating the parameters of such food systems so that we can measure their growth and build a stronger business case for them has not been done in a credible, rigorous way.
Charting Growth: Sustainable Food Indicators is designed to develop indicators for sustainable community-based food systems (SCBFS), and to use these indicators to assess their current strength in the US and their growth. The vision guiding this project was one of greater viability and number of food systems that provide access for all communities to a safe and healthy food supply, grown in a manner that protects the environment and adds social and economic value to rural and urban communities.
In this project, the Wallace Center partnered with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Food and Society (FAS) Program, which has a long-standing interest in supporting the growth of SCBFS.
The Wallace Center's goal for this project was to develop indicators used by diverse stakeholders to catalyze change and to measure progress towards community-based food systems that are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.
This process included concretely defining SCBFS with input from diverse stakeholders, developing a credible and flexible set of indicators that can be used by different interests for various purposes, pilot-testing the indicators with partners in multiple supply chains, then using these indicators to create a baseline of the current strength of SCBFS in the US food system.
A Core Group of academic scholars and practitioners from around the country was assembled to meet regularly and communicate by telephone and e-mail. The group shared ideas about food system sustainability, developed an electronic interface to solicit engagement from stakeholders, organized and conducted additional meetings to solicit input and coordinating other project functions.
The Core Group included John Fisk, Wallace Center Director; Molly Anderson, Wallace Senior Fellow and Project Manager; Gail Feenstra, Food Systems Analyst, Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education Program at University of California Davis; and Michael Rozyne, Red Tomato Executive Director. Additional expertise was brought into the project as needed.

When we launched PittsburghGives and the Day of Giving five years ago, none of us envisioned the phenomenon it would become. The program has grown every year since, and all of us involved have been gratified by what our community has accomplished together. The question now is: Where do we go from here?
The question arises because the program has reached an inflection point. Its matching pool cannot sustain the sort of growth we have been experiencing. From barely a thousand donors contributing in our first year, Day of Giving grew to almost 18,000 donors last year, and that rate of increase is likely to continue. Unfortunately, the resources available for our matching pool are limited, and in 2012 the "match" for every dollar donated dropped to a dime. As the match continues to decline in the face of rising demand, it begs the question of how long the program can continue and still be worthwhile.
In discussing this issue with The Pittsburgh Foundation's Board and staff in recent months, along with nonprofit leaders in focus groups and individual conversations, we have kept returning to the basics. Why did we launch this program in the first place? Have we achieved what we set out to accomplish? And if so, is it time to move on or is there still more to be done?
The Foundation had three explicit goals in launching the Day of Giving. First, we wanted to create a transparent, regional "one-stop shop" for information on area organizations and agencies. The result is PittsburghGives, which today houses information on over 700 of our region's nonprofits and is one of our nation's richest nonprofit databases.
Second, we hoped to increase the capacity of our community's nonprofits to take advantage of new technology and social media to broaden their support among individual donors and expand their bases of charitable support. Thanks to Day of Giving, thousands of new donor relationships have been established, and the capacity of nonprofits to build on those relationships has increased dramatically.
Third, we wanted to make more people in our community aware of The Pittsburgh Foundation and the work we do. As our region's major community foundation, we strive to be a vocal advocate for moving our community forward and support our nonprofits in operating at the forefront of trends in philanthropy, such as the rise of on-line giving and increasing demand for transparency. The Day of Giving is a clear demonstration of that and our model has become a benchmark for communities across the country.
In reflecting on these outcomes and the input we have received, we have decided to continue with the program for two more years but to begin to modify it slowly now while signaling that more significant changes lie ahead. Specifically, here is what we are planning:
We are grateful to everyone in our community who has helped to make the Day of Giving the success that it undoubtedly is. Please be assured that going forwards we are focused on how best to preserve and further develop this program as a valued community asset.

There's a somewhat cynical assessment of America's democratic election system that suggests we get the government we deserve. It speaks more to the all-too-frequent bouts of apathy on polling days than it does about the skills, vision and competency or otherwise of our election candidates.
But against the background of the on-going Federal investigation into Pittsburgh's police operations, and the withdrawal of Luke Ravenstahl, the current incumbent, from our city's mayoral elections, perhaps now is the time to be asking ourselves: What kind of future leadership do we want for our community?
History tells us that to envision the future, it helps to examine the past and Pittsburgh's enormous advancements in recent years are unequivocal. Our city's riverfronts are in the advanced stages of radical transformation, we are a recognized and respected leader of urban design and green building development, and we are at the forefront nationally of addressing urgent reform issues within our public school system.
We have a Cultural District that is second to none and less than two years ago, we were named America's most liveable city. There is solid ground for optimism with an array of Downtown development projects on the drawing board and continued revitalization programs in our city neighborhoods.
But when the time comes to choose our next mayor – and The Pittsburgh Foundation is without fear or favor on whoever he or she may be – let us expect our new leader to embrace our city's accomplishments while taking a bold and visionary stand in helping to shape Pittsburgh's future.
Let us expect Pittsburgh's civic leadership to nurture an atmosphere where business can thrive, where our hard-won reputation is advanced and where the vulnerable, the underprivileged and the disadvantaged are protected. Let us expect our leadership to work across all areas, including the corporate, nonprofit, academic and public sectors, in effective and inspiring partnerships that will foster innovation, entrepreneurship and creative solutions.
And let us elect a leader who will focus on Pittsburgh's dominant critical issues, including those around race and poverty.
We should set the highest expectations for our next leader, regardless of who is elected Mayor in November. And regardless of who is elected, let us all pledge to play our part in striving to turn the big dreams we have for our community into reality.
Grant Oliphant, The Pittsburgh Foundation's President and CEO, submitted the following written testimony calling for the existing charitable tax deduction to be safeguarded. His testimony was presented to a hearing on the Itemized Deduction for Charitable Contributions, House Committee on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives in February, 2013
Congressman Camp, Ranking Member Levin, and other Committee members, thank you for this opportunity to provide written testimony on the deduction for charitable contributions as part of the Committee's work on comprehensive tax reform. Especially, I would like to recognize members Jim Gerlach, Mike Kelly, and Allyson Schwartz, from my home state of Pennsylvania.
For the past five years I have served as President and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, the 13th largest community foundation in the United States. During this time, we have experienced consistent growth in terms of annual fundraising and currently The Pittsburgh Foundation's assets are approximately $900 million. This growth would not have been possible without the generosity and commitment of our donors and in 2012 alone, our donors gave $12.7 million from their funds at the Foundation to support the vital work of over 1,100 nonprofit organizations throughout the Pittsburgh region. This was in addition to the $44 million in grants provided by The Pittsburgh Foundation to strengthen charitable programs in our local community to improve health care services, safeguard and develop educational opportunities for our children, enhance the arts and cultural activities, and provide human services programs to support the region's most vulnerable citizens as well as addressing key issues concerning the well-being of our environment and economic development.
I highlight this information at the start of my testimony because unlike private or corporate foundations, community foundations serve a unique and significant role in philanthropy, a role that would be endangered, I believe irrevocably, by any reduction or elimination of the charitable tax deduction, which by its very creation was designed to help facilitate community-based charitable giving that is so well represented by The Pittsburgh Foundation.
Beyond the technical definition as tax-exempt public charities, community foundations are a critical tool in promoting self-sufficiency among nonprofit organizations and our community's overall health by providing opportunities for donors to participate in place-based initiatives through the creation of funds to meet current and potential needs in perpetuity.
Furthermore, many leading community foundations, like The Pittsburgh Foundation, take on a broader responsibility to encourage and inspire charitable giving among individuals and families in local communities, and to provide professional expertise, guidance and innovative resources that help them to do so.
The community foundation sector in the U.S., collectively with approximately $55.6 billion in assets, advances the philosophy of Pittsburgh's own Andrew Carnegie, "a person of wealth is an agent of civilization, and philanthropy is a tool for improving civilization while at the same time substituting for radical reforms." This philosophy holds true today but will be seriously undermined should individuals feel that they are no longer encouraged to participate in true community-based philanthropy in seeking to make a positive impact in their communities.
Such a level of discouragement would result, I believe, if proposals are successful to amend the current code governing the charitable tax deduction. Currently the code serves not only as an invaluable monetary incentive, but also as tangible evidence that philanthropic good work is recognized, valued and supported.
The charitable tax deduction is vitally important for community foundations to deliver their missions, especially with the growth of donor-advised funds that allow donors to be part of the philanthropic process in identifying critical community needs and recommending grantmaking support to charitable programs about which they are especially passionate. The Pittsburgh Foundation's donors are resolute in their belief that by joining with a community foundation, they benefit greatly from a philanthropic partnership, which in turn benefits our local community.
An example of an initiative led by The Pittsburgh Foundation that leveraged individual giving on behalf of the community is the Neighbor-Aid Fund, which attracted support from many local funding partners as well as public donations. In response to the 2008 economic crisis this emergency fund was designed to support nonprofit organizations striving to meet increased demand for essential human services, specifically, food, housing, transportation, and utilities. Over $1 million was distributed to nonprofits providing critical "safety-net" services.
Another example of foundation work that can only be successful if our donors support it via giving is The Pittsburgh Foundation's Day of Giving. Launched in 2009, the on-line site's giving events have so far raised more than $21 million for the region's nonprofit organizations. Last year alone, this effort raised a total of $8,540,345, an increase of over 31 percent compared with the previous year. More importantly, 665 nonprofits received contributions from over 17,000 individual donations.
My foundation has an unwavering commitment to further developing its partnerships with donors as well as collaborative and innovative ventures with funding partners at local and national levels in order to maximize grantmaking impact and philanthropic leadership in our region. Together we have pioneered some major achievements in recent years, including reform initiatives within the Pittsburgh Public Schools, and the launch of the Pittsburgh Promise scholarship program, that provides four-year funding of up to $10,000 per year for city public school students pursuing college and university education. Like Pittsburgh's Day of Giving, the Pittsburgh Promise has become an acclaimed model for similar initiatives developed by other foundations across the United States.
Local, state and federal governments are fiscally constrained, severely limiting their ability to mount new programs and even sustain existing ones. This reality combined with increasing demand for assistance from our nonprofit provider community, is further witness that any action that would lead to a reduction or elimination of the charitable tax deduction would have a direct and negative impact on charities and the people they serve.
Thank you for this opportunity to share the important role donors play within the context of a community foundation and I ask that as important tax reform debates continue, the charitable tax deduction be preserved in order to safeguard an essential part of our infrastructure that serves to inspire and enable philanthropy and the great, essential work that it undertakes on behalf of us all.

Wouldn't we all love to respond to a disappointing performance review by changing the measuring tool to give us a better result? Many of us would joyfully toss the bathroom scale out the window in favor of one that knocked off 10 pounds. How about moving the end zone five yards closer so our favorite wide receiver could catch the game-winning throw?
Unfortunately, that's not how things work — unless you are Pennsylvania Education Secretary Ron Tomalis and you are not pleased with the number of charter schools making Adequate Yearly Progress, the standard set by the No Child Left Behind Act.
In 2011, Mr. Tomalis allowed charter schools to use a more lenient measure to achieve AYP. The result was that 77 of the 156 charter schools in Pennsylvania whose students took the 2012 PSSA math and reading tests met the AYP standard.
Then the federal Department of Education intervened, ruling that Pennsylvania must use the same measure for charter schools as it did for all other public schools. Only 43 made AYP.
A Post-Gazette editorial published Jan. 27 ("Sub-par Options: Charter Schools as a Class Don't Measure Up") delivered a strongly worded rebuke to the Corbett administration for engaging in this kind of tomfoolery and thinking that Pennsylvanians were not paying attention.
I completely agree. What's more, I am dismayed at the disservice that was perpetrated upon the charter school movement, which I believe serves an important role in contemporary public education.
In its original form, charters were designed to increase competition, foster innovation and give parents a choice when their children were not receiving an adequate education from traditional public schools. The promise of creating a vast network of laboratories for innovation remains largely unfulfilled, but much can be learned from experiments like Pittsburgh's City Charter High School and the Environmental Charter School that might improve the quality of education for all Pennsylvania children. This will never happen, though, if decision-makers randomly re-invent the rules to justify their ideology.
I believe in charters as an idea, but our system of public education and the children it serves are not pawns to be manipulated in a political game. Charter schools should be held to the same standards as other public schools so we can tell, honestly, whether they are accomplishing the goals we hope they reach. Stacking the statistical deck in favor of charters tells us only that they have powerful political friends while obscuring the one thing we really need to know: Do they work?
Let's not forget that charters can function without many of the organizational and operational constraints that apply to traditional public schools. They are not subject to collective bargaining agreements. Their infrastructure tends to be newer, simpler and less costly.
Charters also don't share in the same commitment as public systems to educate each and every child who comes in the door regardless of his or her special needs. And yet they get compensated with public dollars as though their costs are the same as the school districts from which they siphon students and resources.
Those are sizeable advantages, and we need to know whether they really result in better educational outcomes. How we measure that should be determined neither by political doctrine nor by creating antipathy between charters and the public school systems they are intended to complement. What we need are clear heads and thoughtful analysis that will keep in sharp focus those who matter most — our children.
A consistent and reliable measure of student performance must be developed to assess the quality of education our children receive whether they attend charters or traditional public schools. These measures must allow us to determine where our schools are falling short and how we can improve them.
Troubled as our system of public education may sometimes be, it is a landmark achievement of American society. As we work to improve it, we should hold ourselves and our leaders accountable to be fair and truthful about the results of the reforms we explore. Our children and their families depend on this, as does the future prosperity, competitiveness and economic strength of our community and nation.

Helping Adolescents and Teens Develop More Mature Ways of ThinkingTopic OverviewAdolescent thinking tends to be focused on the present. However, adolescents and teens are rapidly learning new skills related to complex reasoning, inductive and deductive reasoning, sensitivity toward others, flexibility, and problem solving. Recognize that it is normal for adolescents to have a sense of being uniquely invincible, to have an "it will never happen to me" mind-set. This way of thinking may limit their ability to assess situations, risks, and future consequences. As a result, they may engage in risky behaviors and test authority. The following are some ways you can help your adolescent develop reasoning skills and cognitive abilities:

Yesterday saw the launch of Sqlmap, an open source vulnerability testing tool that can automatically detect and exploit SQL injection flaws for the takeover of database servers. It's a potentially valuable tool as developers, operations and DevOps move to leverage automation and protect web applications from the hive of scum and villainy that is the Internet.
A few data points on Sqlmap from the project's site (emphasis theirs):
- Full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB database management systems.
- Full support for six SQL injection techniques: boolean-based blind, time-based blind, error-based, UNION query, stacked queries and out-of-band.
- Support to dump database tables entirely, a range of entries or specific columns as per user's choice. The user can also choose to dump only a range of characters from each column's entry.
- Support to download and upload any file from the database server underlying file system when the database software is MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server.
And so on. Sqlmap is available on Github, and there's already a small community taking up the tool's development.
A thread on Hacker News provides a lot of insight into when and where you might actually want to employ Sqlmap. The consensus: For most intrusion tests across a wide spectrum of web app attack avenues, the go-to is Burp Suite, which offers enhanced security testing automation (which most developers should be using anyway), and which auditors tend to use anyway.
But if you need to prove a vulnerability exists beyond a vague possibility and actually dump a database to prove the threat to colleagues or higher-ups. Otherwise, generally and on balance, as long as you're fixing database exceptions and other bugs, the general agreement seems to be that an all-purpose intrusion testing tool is what's called for.
