The day after winning an Academy Award, Mo'Nique was spotted showing off her proud trademark hairy legs on Monday.
She won for "Precious," but it's all about Hair Show.
with a dress that shows your legs, you'd think you would shave and wax it atleast........DUH
Ya her man likes her that way that is why she says that they (NO HE) has an open marriage with her...who wants to hit that? NASTY JUST NASTY. Take care of yourself and get a clue of what marriage is really suppose to be about forsaking all others if she says she wont cheat but let's him she obviously has some mental or low self esteem issues. Get help girl.
Discovery Channel special coming up with Mo'Nique....she may be the missing link between the sasquatch, yeti, etc
"Neither confidence, or her husband liking it, or any other of the garbage that's been used for an excuse can cover for the fact that it's just plain laziness and trashiness that would allow anyone to let themselves look like that...what a filthy pig..."
It isn't that serious. It's her choice. She doesn't want to shave her legs. So what? How does that make her lazy,trashy or filthy? I think you went too far. I don't want to make assumptions,but this says a lot more about you than it does her. Is there something you want to tell us because her not shaving her legs doesn't warrant such vile comments from you. It sounds as though you may have other issues.
SO WHAT-- worry about yourselves and leave her alone. All you "clean shaven" people don't have an Oscar tho... :-)
My God woman - SPANX
I cannot, for the life of me, see any distinct hairs. Perhaps this wasn't the best pic to demonstrate hair?
She does her eyebrows wears make up and a weave,but shes to fat and lazy to shave her legs?? Maybe she cant reach them!!??
All you haters out there hatin' on Monique's appearance...I betcha wouldn't say any of it to her face that's for sure! And do you actually think that Monique gives a darn about what you and others think of her or her appearance? The woman is rich and she just won an Oscar; dig it...so all you haters out there, continue to sit on your lumpy sofas in your little apartments and hate while that beautiful sistah by the name of Monique continues to elevate!
I think her husband looks gay. But if he were, he wouldn't put up with a wife looking like a Yeti.
Gross, gross, tacky, disgusting.. She does care what people think because she gets her nails done and she buys new clothes & shoes.. although her dress & shoes are too tight.. She needs to get her roots done as well.. what a hot mess.. You cant go half way..
ok, i have a friend of mine who is one of those 70's hippie style girls. she doesn't shave her legs or armpits and she goes on rallies and save the world meeting but she is very attractive. the funny thing is, when i first met her, i thought it was abit gross as she's wear tops out that show her hairy armpits and then i became friends with her and i see 5 guys a day asking for her number out. so its pretty funny you guys all sitting here criticizing a woman for not shaving her legs when the reality is, one of my friends who is real hairy can still get 5 guys per day. so obviously its not so gross if she can get 5 guys a day.
Also... if you are a man criticizing her hairy legs, you obviously don't know women very well, because i can say all single women that i know of including me do not shave their legs if there is nobody to see it. lol most women only shave their legs when a man is going to see it.. for example for a date or during summer when they wear short skirts. most women do not shave their legs as there is nobody to see their legs or if only their female friends see it. so to those people criticizing. you are actually criticizing alot of women in the world.
She's gross and very classless. Please how could this woman host Flavor of Love's Charm School! I'm overweight but still shave my legs so that's not the reason. And as for her husband remember she claims they have an open marriage so perhaps that's when he sleeps with a real woman who has shaved her legs!!
Oh yeah you are all so disgusted that you had to click on it to lick your collective lips and you all fantasize about rubbing your faces up and down her legs as you lick them. Especially OSCAR who probably drooled all over his sandwich as he wanked off looking at her legs. Oscar finds her so gross that he continues to eat so he can supposedly throw up more of his food as he fantasizes about her other long hairs she doesn't shave as he twirls it around his fingers. I bet most of you are as fat as she is but more gross. Just remember folks you don't have to look at it if you don't like it. So why did you all click on it in the first place knowing who it is. Even if her legs weren't hairy I'm sure you morons would find something about her to find gross. Let's see what you winners look like.
Strange, so many of you talk about how disgusting it is, to show up how God himself made you. If you don't like her hairy legs, then don't look.
Grow up children. God made us with hair in various places. I find men who have 6 inch hair under their arms disgusting, but I would not force my opinion on anyone else, nor would I ever tell someone who had such hairy pits they are disgusting. I would just avoid the situation.

The 14 Best Yellow Nail Polishes You Can Get Right Now
Yellow nail polish. Such a polarizing shade. Why? Because, regardless of whether you love or hate it on your nails, if you've ever applied a yellow, you know the issues that plague the color family.
Yellow gets the Nail Polish Problem Child of the World Award. They're either super sheer or opaque and streaky. And while one-coat reds, blues, etc exist, a one-coat yellow is our chupacabra. That being said, I'm often asked what the Best Yellow Nail Polish is, when I've just finished railing on one in a review. So I've got 14 streak-free, opaque yellow nail polishes for you.

Frontier Wars
<< Previous
1 2
Next >>
By Emerson Hough in 1905
history of the border wars on the American frontier, where the fighting
was more like battle than murder, and where the extent of the crimes
against law became too large for the law ever to undertake any settlement,
would make a long series of bloody volumes. These wars of the frontier
were sometimes political, as the
anti-slavery warfare; or, again, they were fights over town sites, one
armed band against another, and both against the law. Wars over cows, as
of the cattle men against the rustlers and "little fellows," often took on
the phase of large armed bodies of men meeting in bloody encounter; though
the bloodiest of these wars are those least known, and the opera bouffe
wars those most widely advertised.
The state of
now so calm and peaceful, is difficult to picture as the scene of a
general bloodshed; yet wherever you scratch
history you find a fight. No territory of equal size has had so much
war over so many different causes. Her story in Indian fighting,
gambler fighting,
fighting, town site fighting, and political fighting is one not
approached by any other portion of the West; and if at times it was
marked with fanaticism or with sordidness, it was none the less bitter
and notable.
Jayhawkers and Bushwackers fight it out over
becoming a free state or a pro-slavery
The border wars of
at the time immediately preceding the
Civil War
would be famed in song and story, had not the greater conflict between
North and South wiped all that out of memory. Even the North was
divided over the great question of the repeal of the
Compromise. Alabama,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, and
Virginia gave a whole or a majority vote for this repeal of the
Compromise. Against the repeal were Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
Illinois and
New Jersey voted a tie vote. Ohio cast four votes for the repeal
measure, seventeen against it.
This vote brought the
territories of
Nebraska into
the Union with the option open on whether or not they should have
slavery: "it being the true intent and meaning of this act not to
legislate slavery into any territory, nor to exclude it there from,
but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their own domestic institutions in their own way."
That was very well; but who were "the
people" of these debated grounds? Hundreds of abolitionists of the
North thought it their duty to flock to
and take up arms. Hundreds of the inhabitants of
thought it incumbent upon them to run across the line and vote in
on the "domestic institutions"; and to shoot in Kansas and to burn and
ravage in
They were met by the anti-slavery legions along the wide frontier, and
brother slew brother for years, one series of more or less ignoble and
dastardly outrages following another in big or little, murders and
arson in big or little, until the whole country at last was drawn into
this matter of the domestic institutions of "Bleeding
The animosities formed in those days were bitter and enduring ones,
and the more prominent figures on both sides were men marked for later
slaughter. The
Civil War and
the slavery question were fought out all over the West for ten years, even
twenty years after the war was over. Some large figures came up out of
this internecine strife, and there were many deeds of courage and many
romantic adventures; but on the whole, although the result of all this was
for the best, and added another state to the list unalterably opposed to
human slavery, the story in detail is not a pleasant one, and adds no
great glory to either side. It is a chapter of American history which is
very well let alone.
When the railroads came across the Western
plains, they brought a man who has been present on the American
frontier ever since the revolutionary war, ---- the land boomer. He
was in Kentucky in time to rob poor old Daniel Boone of all the lands
he thought he owned. He founded Marietta, on the Ohio river, on a land
steal; and thence, westward, laid out one town after another.
The early settler who came down the Ohio valley in the first and second
decades of the past century passed the ruins of abandoned towns far back
to the east even in that day. The town-site shark passed across the
Mississippi river and the
and everywhere his record was the same. He was the pioneer of avarice in
very many cases, and often he inaugurated strife where he purported to be
establishing law. Each town thought itself the garden spot and center of
the universe—one knows not how many
towns, for instance, contended over the absurd honor of being exactly at
the center of the United States! -- and local pride was such that each
citizen must unite with others even in arms, if need be, to uphold the
merits of his own "city."

Last New Year's Eve, a Black Georgia Southern University student named Levon Jones was killed by bouncers in the Bourbon Street club Razzoo's. The outrage led to near-daily protests outside the club, threats of a Black tourist boycott of New Orleans, and a city commission to explore the issue of racism in the French Quarter. Despite widely-publicized advance warning, a "secret shopper†audit of the Quarter found rampant discrimination in French Quarter businesses, including different dress codes, admission prices, and drink prices, all based on whether the patron was black or white.
"The French Quarter is not a place for Black people,†one community organizer told me pre-hurricane. "You don't see Black folks working in the front of house in French Quarter restaurants or hotels, and you don't see them as customers.â€
Just north of the French Quarter, a few blocks from Razzoo's, is the historic Treme neighborhood. Settled in the early 1800s, it's known as the oldest free African-American community in the US. Residents fear for the post-reconstruction stability of communities like Treme. "There's nothing some developers would like more than a ring of white neighborhoods around the French Quarter,†said one Treme resident recently. The widespread fear among organizers is that the exclusionary, "tourists only†atmosphere of the French Quarter will be multiplied and expanded across the city, and that many residents simply wont be able to return home.
Chui Clark is a longtime community organizer from New Orleans, and was one of the leaders of the protests against Razzoo's. He now stays in Baton Rouge's River Street shelter. "This is a lily-white operation,†he reports. "You have white FEMA and Red Cross workers watching us like we're some kind of amusement.†Despite repeated assurances of housing placements from Red Cross and government officials, the population of the Baton Rouge shelters does not appear to be decreasing, according to Clark. "You have new arrivals all the time. Folks who were staying with families for a week or two are getting kicked out and they got no where else to go.â€
I went to the River Road shelter as part of a project initiated by Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children to help displaced New Orleans residents reconnect with loved ones who are lost in the labyrinth of Louisiana's corrections system.
Everyone I met was desperately trying to find a sister or brother or child or other family member lost in the system. Many people who were picked up for minor infractions in the days before the hurricane ended up being shipped to the infamous Angola Prison, a former slave plantation where it's estimated over 90% of the inmates currently incarcerated will die within its walls. Most of the family members I spoke with just wanted to get a message to their loved ones, "Tell him that we've been looking for him, that we made it out of New Orleans, and that we love him,†said a former East New Orleans resident named Angela.
While Barbara Bush speaks of how fortunate the shelter residents are, in the real world New Orleans evacuees have been feeling anything but sheltered. One woman I spoke with in the River Street shelter said that she's barely slept since she arrived in the shelter system. "I sleep with one eye open,†she told me. "Its not safe in there.â€
According to Christina Kucera, a feminist organizer from New Orleans, "issues of safety and shelter are intricately tied to gender. This has hit women particularly hard. Its the collapse of community. We've lost neighbors and systems within our communities that helped keep us safe.â€
Where once everyone in a neighborhood knew each other, now residents from each block are spread across several states. Communities and relationships that came together over decades were dispersed in hours.
Kucera lists the problems she's heard, "there have been reports of rapes and assaults before evacuation and in the shelters. And that's just the beginning. There are continuing safety and healthcare needs. There are women who were planning on having children who now no longer have the stability to raise a child and want an abortion, but they have no money, and nowhere to go to get one. Six of the thirteen rape crisis centers in Louisiana were closed by the hurricane.â€
One longtime community organizer from the New Orleans chapter of INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence has written, "We have to have some form of community accountability for the sexual and physical violence women and children endured. I'm not interested in developing an action plan to rebuild or organize a people's agenda in New Orleans without a gender analysis and a demand for community accountability.â€
We are already unsettled, and now Hurricane Rita threatens a new wave of evacuations. Astrodome residents are being out on buses and planes. While communities continue to be dispersed, some New Orleanians are staying and building. Diane "Momma D" Frenchcoat never evacuated out of her Treme home on North Dorgenois Street, and has been helping feed and support 50 families, coordinating a relief and rebuilding effort consisting of, at its peak, 30 volunteers known as the Soul Patrol.
"I ain't going nowhere," one Soul Patrol member told the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper in a september 18 article about Momma D. "I'm the son of a bricklayer. I'm ready to cut some sheetrock, lay some block, anything to rebuild the city."
Asked about her plan, Momma D had these words, "Rescue. Return. Restore. Can you hear what I'm saying, baby? Listen to those words again. Rescue, return, restore. We want the young, able-bodied men who are still here to stay to help those in need. And the ones that have been evacuated, we want them to come home and help clean up and rebuild this city. How can the city demand that we evacuate our homes but then have thousands of people from across this country volunteering to do the things that we can do ourselves?"
Community organizers like Momma D in Treme and Malik Rahim, who has a similar network in the Algiers neighborhood, are the forces for relief and rebuilding that need our help. The biggest disaster was not a hurricane, but the dispersal of communities, and that's the disaster that needs to be addressed first.
Yesterday a friend told me through tears, "I just want to go back as if this never happened. I want to go back to my friends and my neighbors and my community.†Its our community that has brought us security. People I know in New Orleans don't feel safer when they see Blackwater mercenaries on their block, but they do feel security from knowing their neighbors are watching out for them. And that's why the police and national guard and security companies on our streets haven't brought us the security we've been looking for, and why discussions of razing neighborhoods makes us feel cold.
When we say we want our city back, we don't mean the structures and the institutions, and we don't mean "law and order,†we mean our community, the people we love. And that's the city we want to fight for.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A quiet start for our Friday will become a little more
stormy through the weekend. A weak boundary will approach the area
Saturday and I suspect will trigger showers and thunderstorms during the
afternoon and evening.
With little in the way of upper level winds
thunderstorms that fire up will be slow moving. Heavy rain and lightning
should be expected in locations that see storms. Temperatures will generally range near 90 degrees – the exception may be on Saturday with highs in the
mid to upper 80s if clouds remain thick enough. Another decent chance for
thunderstorms will enter the region next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Tonight: Partly cloudy, few early evening thunderstorms, mainly south. Low: 72
Friday: Partly sunny, scattered thunderstorms (30% chance.) High: 90
Saturday: Mostly cloudy, periods of thunderstorms (50% chance) in the afternoon and evening. High: 88
Sunday: Partly sunny, scattered thunderstorms (40% chance.) High: 90

Smith becomes Salisbury CEO
2:43pm Tuesday 15th July 2014 in Sport
JOURNALIST Paul Smith, who has been working alongside new director Mark Winter to help resolve Salisbury City's financial problems, has been hired as the club's new CEO.
Mr Smith, holding experience in big football clubs, will restructure the crisis club and help it be a "professionally run organisation."
He played his part in the club's on-going legal battle to remove 96 per cent shareholder Otail Touzar on Friday, with the club forming a consortium board, which consists of five members; Jackie Goddard, David Phillips, Graeme Mundy, Winter and Jeremy Harwood.
The new directors said: "Paul and the directors share the vision that we must engage with the supporters and the wider community as we strive to run Salisbury City in a financially sound and efficient way as a true community club."
"Although probably better known for his background as a leading sports journalist, Paul also brings a wealth of experience and contacts in the business side of football."
In 2006, Smith was involved in the acquisition of Leicester City, and the restructuring of the club. He also acted for David Sullivan during the takeover at West Ham United.
The Whites yesterday lodged their appeal to be reinstated in Conference South after being relegated on July 4 for not settling their debts.
In addition, City say they are in the process of holding interviews with potential managerial candidates, one of which is understood to be former Pompey striker Steve Claridge.

A Contemporary Traditional Wedding in Sumatra – From Scotland to Lampung
WHEN: Sat 2 Aug | 2.00pm
WHERE: QAG Lecture Theatre
Dr Chris Reid, Principle Research Scientist in the Entomology Department at the Australian Museum, and his Sumatran-born wife Evi (Dr Safrina Thristiawati, who gained her PhD in Demography from the Australian National University) will wear, show and talk about the garments and ceremonial textiles that featured at their wedding in Tanjung Karang, Lampung Sumatra, Indonesia, in 2000. The cultural values inherent in these traditional textiles will be considered, along with the vagaries of weather, personal insights into relationships, the risk of tangling headdresses and what the moth er of the bride is expected to wear.
Originally from Scotland, Dr Reid first became interested in textiles through the gift of a Savunese cloth by an Indonesian student in 1990, an interest which has developed through collecting, travel and his marriage to Evi.
Dr Mark Pennings, Art Historian, The Queensland University of Technology, traces the impact of globalism and the food industry in the work of Zhen Xu, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Superflex.

Interactive: Exploring Abstract Artist Connections
Today it's easy to take for granted the massive shift abstract art had on the art world and society as a whole. It's easy to forget that at one time "realism" was par for the course and even the expressionists made sure you could identify the objects in their works. Then, just a little over 100 years ago, abstract artists appeared on the scene forever changing what could be considered art. This interactive visualization by New York's Museum of Modern Art explores the similarly forgotten fact that many of the first abstract artists where highly connected to one another. [Read more...]
Not Your Average Pool Party: Ping Pong Ball Projecting

Will this be Apartment Living in 2080?
The future of the human species always seems to hang perilously between excitement and destruction. Excitement for the future of technology, and the improvements it can bring to our lives; and destruction, because every week there seems to be another disaster. Our hope and determination to survive against all odds will bring about an exciting new way of life. As technology continues to advance, will we begin to see all types of changes come our way, transforming our living spaces into scenes out of 60s retro futuristic drawings?

Farcical Preseason Rankings

All the polls are finally out, and it gives everyone something to talk and write about. It shouldn't. My wife who doesn't know what a first down is even asks, "You actually care about that? Nobody's done anything yet." My answer, gloriously, is "NO." It wasn't always the case.I used to wait with anticipation for the preseason AP and Coaches (formerly UPI) polls every year. I'd curse the voters if OU was lower than I preferred and gloat when the Sooners were tops. Silly kid. It means absolutely nothing in reality. Now, in our bizarro BCS society, the preseason polls can have a real effect. Being ranked higher allows you to withstand early losses. If you're ranked outside the top 15 and you lose early, you're guarantee not to be

More than 200 people visited an exhibition showing how working people were affected by the First World War.
Jacqueline Lee is a Healthcare Assistant in Stoma Care, and Unison member, at the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust.
Armed with resources on community learning, public services union Unison ULR (Union Learning Representative) Joanne Fletcher used the trade union workplace learning offer to create new learning opportunities for the local community through her church.
In a time of cuts and austerity there is the danger that equalities issues could easily slip down the trade union agenda, as protecting jobs and terms and conditions becomes the priority. Unionlearn in the Midlands held an event to remind trade unionists that at times like this, people who face discrimination need the support of the trade union movement even more than ever.
Official figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that people who do not speak English well are less likely to have qualifications or be in work. People who speak English 'not well' or 'not at all' have an employment rate of just 48%, compared to a rate of 65% for people who speak English 'well' or 'very well'. In comparison, people with English as their main language have an employment rate 72%.
The general Unite union has a very vibrant and active retired members section. However, the union's East Midlands Retired Members' Regional Coordinating Committee found that members were not accessing their emails or contributing to the debate on the blog (http://systonmike.blogspot.co.uk) it has set up to report on its activities and get feedback. Committee Lay Secretary Mike McLoughlin decided that it was time for some IT training.
Unionlearn in the Midlands recently joined forces with the pioneering new TOPAZ project for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people in Birmingham to deliver the first IT course run by unions for the LGBT community in the city.
An International Women's Day Inspiring Change Event
Mary Alys, who died in May 2013, was a key union voice on skills in the Midlands for over a decade in her roles at the helm of the region's TUC Learning Services and then unionlearn. She was also a lifelong feminist and peace campaigner and a member of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom for more than 30 years. She firmly believed in the power of learning to transform people's lives.
When arrangements for an IT course for ancillary staff in the University Hospital of North Staffordshire HSDU sterile services (the decontamination unit) fell through, unionlearn in the Midlands tutors were able to step in and run the course.
Unionlearn in the Midlands has helped to ensure that young people have a say in what the apprenticeships of the future should look like by inviting them to take part in a government consultation.
In April, the government department Business, Skills and Innovation (BIS) and the TUC and unionlearn Apprenticeships are Union Business project funded by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) brought together a group of young apprentices from across the region at Rolls Royce in Derby to hear what they had to say about their apprenticeships, both good and bad.

The growth region was defined by conventional photolithography with an insulating template. Careful control of the types of template materials and growth conditions allows good alignment and growth selectivity for ZnO NW arrays. Sharp ultraviolet band-edge peak observed in the photoluminescence spectra of the patterned ZnO NW arrays reveals good optical qualities. The current-voltage characteristics of ZnO

I fail again
1. How do I get the twitter Widget to work? Entering my twitter username under "Nick" field does nothing.
2. To get a blog page: I put all my blog posts under a "Blog" category, like you said, and linked the category to the menu. But it did not work. When you click the Blog menu item, it shows only a single blog post. See it at http://www.danielspellman.com
1. please update your template. There has been solved the problem with twitter in the newest v1.5.
2. don´t put there the link to the post but to the category.
hi guys – i logged on to get the twitter widget update for the site – but notice now the template is at version 1.5
My version is 1.3 – how difficult is it to upgrade from 1.3 – is it just a case of copying up the files overwriting all??
Don't want to mess up the website – let me know pls (as I seen a folder in the latest download 1.4 to 1.5 upgrade but I use 1.3)
if you only need to solve the twitter issue but otherwise you are satisfied with your template you can only overwrite /widgets/jawtwitter.php file with the new one.
If you want to completely upgrade your template please backup your database and data first.
Then rename the current folder with Paula (paula_old) and install a new version.
Hey, I've updated and twitter is working. Hoever, regarding the blog page:
My menu is not linking to a blog post, it's linking to the CATEGORY "Blog" which currently has three posts. If you go to www.danielspellman.com and mouseover the BLOG menu item, you'll see the link is for ".../category/blog". Yet when you actually CLICK , for some reason it takes you to that single post.Take a look at this screenshot of my dashboard: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByNWwLc_vBw1Zzc1aHJNUWd6cVk As you can see, my menu link is for the category. But it's not working. Is this a bug?
Cheers Dan
could you send us your Wordpress access please? It seems to be an error unrelated to our template, however we are going to fix it for you.
Also, interesting note..
If you click the "Blog" category link under the Latest Posts feed, it STILL takes you only to that one "bloggything" post!
Yay you fixed it!! Whatever you did haha. Thankyou.
Another question. -I can't get lightboxes to display in some galleries. Adding lightbox='true' to the shortcode does not seem to work? Eg this shortcode:
[portfolio column="3" cat="editorial'' height="320" title="true" lightbox='true' desc="true" more="false" moretext="" group="false" ids="" order="ASC" orderby=""]leads to this page: http://www.danielspellman.com/testing-page-2/
How do I get lightboxes for this gallery? Also, is it possible to display ONLY the description in portfolio items and NOT the title? Whenever I say "title=false", the description turns off as well, even if I have it set as true.
Hi, we have reset your shortcode so now it should be ok.
Hello I've been trying to get this theme to work for a couple of days now. The problem is: the thumb slider is not working properly and is also causing major page load times. Now, Im by no means an expert, but I believe the thumb slider is causing the problem. Let me first explain what the slider is doing (the slideshow below the actual slider): It shows the thumbnails as it should, but when it reaches the last thumbnail in the queue, it stops showing anything. After the last thumbnail, there is only white. Only way to fix it is to reload the page and let the slideshow begin from the beginning.
Here is what the Chrome console says: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) /wp-content/themes/paula/scripts/timthumb.php?src=&h=100&w=162&zc=1
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) /wp-content/themes/paula/scripts/timthumb.php?src=&h=100&w=162&zc=1&f=2
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) /wp-content/themes/paula/scripts/timthumb.php?src=&w=594&zc=1
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) /wp-content/themes/paula/scripts/timthumb.php?src=&w=594&h=350&zc=1
Not only is the webpage slow but also the admin page. Everything takes around 5 seconds to load.
Any thoughts?
please check your images in slider. You have to insert them as featured items. If the problem still persists send us your Wordpress access please (to jaw[a]jawtemplates.com).
Update (Can't edit): It seems like the long load times went away. No idea what cured it. Other domains on my hosting account were loading just fine when the website in question was very slow.
Anyway, I'd like to get some suggestions how to fix the slider. I can't open my website with a messed up slider.
please check your images in slider. You have to insert them as featured items. If the problem still persists send us your Wordpress access please (to jaw[a]jawtemplates.com).
Hi. Sorry to bother again. But I have a big issue with the theme. It would seem something is causing the server to overload when the Paula theme is activated. This started to happen exactly when I switched to this theme from my old one. I contacted my web host and a level 2 support guy said the theme Im using is very heavy to load. He also said I should try to disable the timthumb script and see if that helps. Now, how can I disable that script with out completely messing up the theme? At the moment, I have my website open on one tab and my cpanel on the other tab. I know for a fact that Im the only one visiting the website at that moment. When I click refresh my website and then go check the server resource monitor page, it shows this:http://i48.tinypic.com/2di0w2r.png
As soon as the website is loaded up, all the running processes go to zero. I did install a caching plugin but it seems to offer little help.
Sorry again for bothering yet again with my problems.
we are sorry to hear that you are having that problem. It has been caused by Timthumb component which is demanding on system resources, however we didn´t meet such problem with hosting as you wrote yet. We can recommend you to choose a different hosting or try to increase the performance limit on your hosting.
Fantastic, light boxes are working now plus descriptions are there in the Lightboxes! Awesome. But when I tr to turn titles off, the descriptions get turned off too. Is this supposed to happen? It's not a big deal as I suppose I could just delete all the portfolio item titles, just hoping I wouldn't need them later…
we see that you already solved the problem with titles/descriptions. To the NEXT /BACK issue you mentioned in the last comment: we are sorry it has been caused by a little bug. If your admin access which you sent us earlier is valid we will fix it for you.
Okay I'm getting seriously confused with how these shortcodes work! Because I liked the gallery shortcode for the Testing 2 page I made, I'm copying and pasting that to the real galleries and just changing the categories in the shortcode. Yet this shortcode: [portfolio column="3" cat="editorial'' height="320" title="true" desc="true" more="false" group="false" order="ASC"]Creates a page that displays ALL portfolio items, even though I've told it only to display editorial? What do I do? THe page is this one: http://www.danielspellman.com/editorial/#prettyPhoto
please try to rewrite the quotation marks/apostrophes. They should be perpendicular. The marks usually go wrong when you copy them via clipboard.
Also, clicking NEXT or BACK on the image when the lightbox is up just causes the same image to reload.
We are sorry it has been caused by a little bug. If your admin access which you sent us earlier is valid we will fix it for you.
Hello. First this theme is a bit over the top when it comes to workflow and has a little to tedious administration.
However i have come to learn a little how it all works but not all and i wonder how do you get that RSS button on the "Feature right" column.
The documentation is really not very helpful.
Whenever I have the theme activated I can not drag the widgets to where I want them. It's like its been disabled, however when I activate a different theme it starts working normally again. What can I do to fix this?
there seems to be a problem with some plugin. Could you send us your Wordpress access please?
I'm this close 'holds up two fingers very close to each other' to abandoning this theme! It's just one big freaking headache! My webhost keeps telling me I need to fix the theme, because it's eating too many resources and thus some times even crashing the server. Now, I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out what is wrong with it but can't find a solution. The problem is the theme! When I switch to any other theme, the problem vanishes. Even when I disable all the plugins, it still causes problems.
Now, can you AT LEAST give some idea as to what in this theme could be eating all the resources? It isn't normal, that when one person (1, ONE ) refreshes a page, I suddenly get 7/20 entry processes, 10% memory usage and some times the CPU levels jump between 25% and 100%. Yesterday alone, my entry processes were limited 75 times! My CPU and memory usages have been limited too by the web host.
$40 well spent!

Now all post is just show '404 Page Not Found' – Been sitting here for hours and i just feel that everything i try to do just take me backwards and I'm pulling my hair.
could you describe what you want to solve please? You can also send us (jaw[a]jawtemplates.com) your Wordpress access and we will take a look at what is wrong.
This theme is ridiculously frustrating, is there a refund policy on this site?
please let us know what problem with the template do you need to solve. We will try to help you.
Is is possible to have a video embed on the slider on the homepage?
we are sorry it isn´t possible.
Yes my wordpress access details I sent you should be correct. Please login and fix the lightbox bug!!
Thankyou!! Dan
thanks, we have fixed it. Now it should work correctly.

Hedgeapple Farm
Hedgeapple Farm
By: Patricia Groombridge (Jan 24, 2010)
I get my meat and eggs from Hedgeapple and I am very pleased with the quality. Since I am a neighbor, I pass the farm on my way around town and see the way the animals are handled and treated. The atmosphere is very natural and humane, and reminds one of what farms of yesteryear were like. Thanks for being here and making it so easy to come by the log cabin and buy your products.

About us
Brook Lyndhurst is an independent research and strategy consultancy. We work on projects that are concerned with understanding, promoting and delivering sustainable development. Since coming into being in 1999 we have worked for clients through the UK that share our commitment to the need to build a more sustainable society; and who understand, too, that the practical steps by which this can be achieved need to be based on robust evidence, creative insight and bold vision.
Whilst retaining our core belief in the importance of sustainability, our work has both shaped, and evolved to reflect, emerging priorities. Broadly, our work falls into one of six key areas – climate change; communities; business and sustainability; waste and resources; food; and sustainable lifestyles. (For an example of our experience and expertise on food, a brochure is available for download in the centre column). Across these areas we synthesise economic, social and environmental analysis. We retain the view that significant changes in individual, organisational and governmental behaviour are needed to bring about a more sustainable society, and much of our work is concerned with 'behaviour change'.
Reflecting the breadth and complexity of the issues we tackle, our team is an eclectic mix. We have backgrounds in economics, anthropology, geography, international development, environmental science, social studies, journalism, market research, the Middle East, philosophy, political science and history. This variety means that our meetings are rarely dull, our thinking is rigorously tested and our analysis is invariably challenging.
Describing our approach in a blurb such as this is tricky, however, so rather than attempt a single, succinct adjective, or blather on about our ethical procurement policy or our flexible working patterns, we threw all the things we think apply to Brook Lyndhurst and ran it through Wordle. The resulting image, below, is as good an idea of what Brook Lyndhurst is about as you're likely to get.

Waste prevention 2014
On Tuesday I spoke at the Westminster Forum event entitled: "Reducing and managing waste: implementing the Waste Prevention Programme and moving towards a 'zero waste' economy".

BedBug Central and the Pennsylvania Pest Management Association will offer a two-day bed bug boot camp program in Chester County, Pa., April 4-5.
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — BedBug Central and the Pennsylvania Pest Management Association will offer a two-day bed bug boot camp program in Chester County, Pa.
The Pennsylvania Bed Bug Boot Camp is an off shoot of BedBug Central's BedBug University: Boot Camp. The Pennsylvania Bed Bug Boot Camp will be held on April 4-5, 2012 at the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Downingtown, Pa.
The Boot Camp will focus on the necessary knowledge and skills needed to create, run, or manage a successful bed bug program. The boot camp offers a series of courses that provide in-depth, practical and actionable knowledge regarding pertinent areas surrounding bed bugs and effective treatment.
"This is a unique opportunity for pest control professionals in Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Delaware and Northern Maryland to learn how to treat for bed bugs in an interactive and hands on environment," said Jeffrey White, technical director for BedBug Central. "The bed bug epidemic is growing and proper training and information is needed to prevent and treat these pests."
The boot camp sessions' will include Bed Bugs 101: Basics of Bed Bug Biology, Bed Bugs 102: Protocol Overview, Bed Bug 201: Tools of the Trade, and Bed Bug 301: The Business of Bed Bugs.
Boot Camp will also focus on the concepts of minimal preparation and the principals of least disruption. This technique will increase productivity by reducing labor and will ultimately reduce costs for pest management industries while increasing the value and convenience for customers.
In addition to the educational sessions, attendees can visit exhibits that showcase various products and services from leaders in the bed bug industry.
The traditional BedBug University: Boot Camp is a four-day course offered six times per year and is designed to shorten the learning curve of companies that want to increase their bed bug revenues and enhance their bed bug business model. The program examines the most effective and efficient treatment protocols in addition to providing hands-on training with industry-standard tools for bed bug remediation.
For more information about the Pennsylvania Bed Bug Boot Camp, visit http://www.bedbugcentral.com/bedbuguniversity/pennsylvania_boot_camp.cfm or call (877) 411-1142.
A bed bug infestation has shut down Lodi Stadium 12 Cinemas Sunday afternoon until Tuesday after concerns from customers were raised on the theater's Facebook page.
New field data from nearly 400,000 bee colonies from 21 countries in Europe and the Mediterranean show that overwintering losses of honey bee colonies – a leading indicator of general bee health – are at their lowest level in years.
Bees were responsible for more workplace deaths (52) than spiders, wasps and ants combined, according to a new U.S. Labor Department report.
NPMA announced the top three entries for the 2014 PestFactor competition, sponsored by Univar. It's now up to the pest management industry to view the top three videos and vote for the industry's most passionate technician.
Arrow's interns worked across a number of business departments including Human Resources, Marketing, Training, Customer Care, Sales and more.

Blu-ray Review: Classic Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Woody Allen Finally in HDSubmitted by BrianTT on January 30, 2012 - 11:04pm
CHICAGO – I've long said that one of the main reasons that Blu-ray didn't take off as quickly as people thought it would is because too many of movie lover's favorite movies weren't available on the format. It took years to get "Alien," "Star Wars," and even "Back to the Future." "Jaws" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" still aren't in HD. Well, a wave of catalog releases last week that included some of my personal favorite films ever made should help the format overall. With several Oscar winners and some of the most influential filmmaking of all time, this is an amazing catalog wave. Buy all six.

Many teenagers eat junk food every day. This might be sugar-sweetened drinks like fizzy drinks and high-kilojoule snacks like potato chips. However, your body can't run properly on poor fuel.
Compared to home-cooked food, junk food (which includes fast food) is almost always:
1. higher in fat, particularly saturated fat
2. higher in salt
3. higher in sugar
4. lower in fiber
5. lower in nutrients, such as calcium and iron served in larger portions, which means more kilojoules.
While a mid-life heart attack might seem too far away to be real, it may surprise you to know that you could have health problems already. A poor diet can cause weight gain, high blood pressure, constipation, fatigue and concentration problems – even when you're young.

Mortgage originations include loans for home purchases and refinancings.
Rates are rising on investor worries the Federal Reserve soon will take steps toward reducing an $85-billion-a-month bond-buying program designed to help stimulate the economy.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stood at 4.73% for the week ended Aug. 30, up from 3.60% at the end of April, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Now Reporting
Track the performances of 150 companies as they report and compare their results with analysts' estimates. Sort by date and industry.
"Rate volatility is the enemy of mortgage banking," wrote Paul Miller, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets & Co. in a research report published Monday. Given the recent jump in mortgage rates, "we expect third-quarter results to be relatively weak for mortgage-centric companies."
All told, Mr. Miller expects lenders to originate $1.654 trillion of mortgages this year, down from $1.75 trillion in 2012. The decline is expected to bottom at $1.46 trillion in 2014 before rising again in 2015, according to FBR estimates.
The slowdown is the latest hurdle for the banking industry, which already is grappling with tepid loan demand from corporate borrowers and higher compliance costs as regulators crack down on a broad swath of banking practices.
The warnings come even though the U.S. housing market is posting its strongest year-over-year gains since the tail end of the real-estate boom in 2006. Many lenders had ramped up their mortgage businesses in the past two years to take advantage of a surge in refinancing activity that was spurred by historically low rates.
Ultimately, big banks should benefit as they will be able to raise interest rates on new loans. That will widen the gap between their cost of borrowing and the income they earn from lending. But that won't happen for several months, as banks work through pending applications and loans.
"We are bullish on the long term, but the short term is going to be rocky," said Mr. Miller.
Michael Kafka, a broker at New York-based Douglas Elliman Real Estate, said he has two clients who are waiting for final approval from their co-op and are concerned about closing quickly to avoid higher interest rates.
"They are nervous about their rate locks expiring before they can close," he said.
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which financed nearly one in four U.S. mortgages in the second quarter, has already cut 3,000 jobs in the mortgage business since July. The reductions represent roughly 1% of the bank's total workforce.
The bank will "continue to make adjustments in the current environment," said Tim Sloan, chief financial officer of Wells Fargo, during the banking-industry conference.
At J.P. Morgan, mortgage originations are on pace to drop as much as 40% from the first half of 2013, said Marianne Lake, J.P. Morgan's chief financial officer, at the conference. She attributed the decline to a drop in refinancings. She said refinance applications are down more than 60% from the peak in May 2013.
Mortgage-banking income dropped 3% at Wells Fargo and 14% at J.P. Morgan in the second quarter from a year earlier. At Bank of America, the decline was 22% from the year-ago period.
The mortgage slump also is taking a toll on smaller lenders, some of which pumped up their home-loan business to help offset a slowdown in commercial lending.
M&T Bank Corp. Chief Financial Officer Rene Jones on Monday told investors that they should brace for a "significant" decline in mortgage-banking volumes in the third quarter, noting that analyst projections for the industry have been a "little rosier than we would have expected" given the environment.
The Buffalo, N.Y., lender racked up $91.3 million in mortgage-banking revenue in the second quarter, up roughly 30% from the same period in 2012.
The slowdown is perplexing to industry veterans like Gerald Lipkin, who has been chief executive of New Jersey lender Valley National Bancorp since 1989.
Mortgage volumes are "way down" at the bank even though Valley already has switched its focus away from refinancing deals to new home loans, he said. Mortgages represent roughly 20% of Valley's loan portfolio.
Mr. Lipkin said rates are still at historically low levels despite the recent increase.
"I remember when mortgage rates were 14% and if you got a loan at 12%, everyone thought it was terrific," he said.
In a stock market that moved broadly higher Monday, Wells Fargo's shares rose 29 cents, or 0.7%, to $41.72, J.P. Morgan Chase gained 30 cents, or 0.6%, to $52.86, and Bank of America added 12 cents, or 0.8%, to $14.48.

In an ideal world, this poll result might be a motivation for U.S. politicians to get their acts together. Unfortunately, I suspect it will have the opposite effect. Republicans will blame the Democrats for the ridiculousness and come out in force to vote against them in 2012, and Democrats will do the opposite, and the net effect will be to send the message that partisan brinkmanship brings the voters to the booths. Any attention is good attention, in other words.
THE Washington Post has conducted a poll on Americans' reactions to the drama in Washington, DC:
Asked for single-word characterizations of the budget negotiations, the top words in the poll — conducted in the days before an apparent deal was struck — were "ridiculous," "disgusting" and "stupid." Overall, nearly three-quarters of Americans offered a negative word; just 2 percent had anything nice to say.
"Ridiculous" was the most frequently mentioned word among Democrats, Republicans and independents alike. It was also No. 1 in an April poll about the just-averted government shutdown. In the new poll, the top 27 words are negative ones, with "frustrating," "poor," "terrible," "disappointing," "childish," "messy" and "joke" rounding out the top 10.
I suspect that the costs of economic stagnation are going to be particularly high in the United States, given its fragmented political system and polarised politics, and that this is going to be a significant problem for American businesses in the years to come, particularly as the fate of America's biggest companies becomes divorced from the fate of the broader economy.

Presentation Title: Summertime Hydrodynamics and Sediment Dynamics in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain
Section: Changing Environments IV
Location: , 220
Date & Time: Friday, April 19, 2013 - 4:10pm - 4:25pm
The relationship between circulation currents, suspended sediment concentration, and sedimentation rates were investigated as part of a larger 5-year project studying the causes of eutrophication in Missisquoi Bay, a shallow bay (4 m) in Lake Champlain. Two months of currents, wind forcing, and water level variations at five sites were examined to understand sediment resuspension and deposition. North-south and east-west centimeter-scale diurnal oscillations of lake level were observed and were not linked to the calculated ~30 minute surface seiche. Currents obtained from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) indicate that after consistent wind forcing, both cyclonic and anticyclonic circulation patterns were established. Unique to this very shallow bay was the degree of directional shear as high as 180 degrees. Sediment properties, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and sedimentation rates indicate that sediment accumulation rates are not constant throughout the bay. Implications of these results will provide insight into how phosphorus and nitrogen are being moved throughout the bay.Â
