DarkRider added a post in a topic: No Shipping Options AvailableI think I figured it out, at least in part. It doesnt seem to like decimal values like 0.0045, when I changed it to 1 and it worked. Might be a bug, or a missing feature. :D
DarkRider added a post in a topic: No Shipping Options AvailableCorrect, but that's why this is weird, I have United Kingdom selected as one of the countries available, but my UK users are recieving this error. :unsure:
DarkRider added a post in a topic: No Shipping Options AvailableHey Guys
Setting up my first physical good package in Nexus and hit a snag. I set up international shipping, and then added International shipping to the package. But when international users are checking out, instead of shipping options they get an error that says "No Shipping Options Available"
Im sure Im missing something obvious, Ive attached images of the shipping setup and the package, any advice would be most appreciated! :D
DarkRider added a post in a topic: how to handle users that wants to be deletedWe also state in our ToS that accounts will not be deleted. We often rename them, and change the email to something fake. :D
DarkRider added a post in a topic: Hide posts from trolls?Yes, it's called post restriction. Look up the member in the AdminCP and on the Forum Details & Restrictions tab change the setting for " Moderator Preview of Posts" this will make all posts made by that member hidden from everyone but the member and the staff.
DarkRider added a post in a topic: Soundcloud AudioFigured out my above issue, its related to privacy settings on SoundCloud. Is there a way to edit the tag to embed URLs to sounds listed as private? :unsure:
DarkRider added a post in a topic: Soundcloud AudioHeya Marcher,
I'm running into a weird issue when using this mod. I installed to the media tag section, recached all my skins, but when posting the soundcloud share link instead of an embed player I'm getting the message
Renders the same way on Firefox and Chrome. I'm not sure how to resolve this one, no one else seems to have the issue. I'm on board version 3.4.5
Any advice you could offer would be great :D

DarkRider added a post in a topic: Help Formatting Article FeedHey Guys,
We have recently discovered the coolness that is the Articles feature of IP Content. When writing an article it has a place for a short summary and then a place for the full story. After published, only the short version displays with a Read More link at the bottom. This is all good, here's the issue.
We have a custom homepage using IP Content, and we want to have a block on the homepage that feeds the latest article block. We got it to pull the feed, but we're losing the formatting of that short summary; it's just displaying plain text.
Is there a way to feed the latest article summary to our homepage block without losing the format? I've looked for a tutorial and skimmed this forum but have come up empty, if you just have a link to some documentation on this I'd be grateful, or for any advice you can offer. We can do the work, just need to know what we need to do.
Thanks! :smile:
DarkRider added a post in a topic: Edit Download File InformationHey Guys,
We have a file on our site that was deleted by the author on accident. He's reuploaded his file and would like to know if the administration can edit his file information stats to match his old file page. Is it possible to somehow edit the submission date, views, and DL counts for his file manually?
Thanks :)

Druid Gameworks Announces...
Druid Gameworks is now actively developing a short prelude title in the Unwritten series for Android and iOS mobile devices titled Unwritten: Dreamtime.
Dreamtime is expected to release in the Google Play Store, Kindle App Store, and Apple Store and retail somewhere between $3.99-4.99 USD. The official publish date is yet to be decided but our goal is to have it on the digital shelves this year!
Thanks to the generous donations of our supporters in the Druid Origin Guild, we will also be porting Dreamtime to Windows PC with updated graphics and a new player interface to accommodate PC players!
In Dreamtime, the player assumes the role of a young Ursine from one of four main tribes, who's destiny has not yet been determined. At the game's start, they have reached the age of maturity known as the Chut'que (chewt kay) a time to undergo an honored ritual, the dreaming. Guided by the clan seer, the dreaming is an astral journey where Ursines travel into the spirit world to stand before their patron god and receive divine messages about their destiny.
However, things will not be so easy for our intrepid player. For the first time in the long oral history of the tribes, the dreaming does not go as planned. The player finds more than a god waiting for them in the mists and is left with disconcerting images of a shrouded figure whose intent seems far from benevolent.
The story's focus hinges upon the fate of an ancient relic, more specifically several artifacts which make up a whole and the player's quest to retrieve them in an attempt to avert the looming threat foreshadowed in their vision. Through this journey the player will unravel the true purpose of the lost relic and of the Ursine tribes entrusted to its safekeeping, but will it be enough to divert the danger away from their family and homeland?

The Valley Tribe: Blackclaws
As seen in our previous concept reveals, this is arguably the common tribe. The most adaptable and prolific of the Ursine subcultures, the Blackclaws can be found on every continent in Arthanswold is some manner or other. They are hunters, traders, warriors, and spiritualists.
The Shoreline Tribe: Sunblessed
These laid back fisher folk can be found around beaches, lakes, and other sources of water. They luxuriate in bathing and are expert fishermen. Some would say the Sunblessed are lazy, but they are just a simple people living a rather care free existence.
The Canyon Tribe: Pangani (working title)
In the shadow of the fire mountain on Duan Rhod lies the unforgiving Elfyre Canyon, home of the Pangani. Don't be fooled by their round bellies and charming smiles these folk are...okay, soft as teddies, but resilient all the same. In a landscape that offers scorching heat, prickly plants, and venomous neighbors, the Pangani seem undaunted by the challenges of canyon life. Known for their adobe villages and pied fur, these desert folks are unique to Duan Rhod.
The Mountain Tribe: Icecore (working title)
The heartiest of all the Ursine tribes, the Icecore are masters of the frozen peaks dotted across Arthanswold. Hunters and Warriors, these great white folk spend their entire lives carving an existence out of ice and stone. They are highly suspicious of outsiders and are not quick to give help to strangers in their lands.
The Ancient Tribe: Khetlek
This near extinct subspecies was the first race of Ursines to ever appear in Arthanswold as a whole. Some speculate that all other Ursines are descended from these archaic cousins, but all Ursines derive their lineage from their patron goddess.

"They have 90 minutes to score four goals and we have the same time to score one. The sooner we do it the quicker the tie will be over", added the Whites'.
During this run, the Whites have racked up nine victories and a draw.
The Whites took part in a recovery session two days before the second leg of their Champions League quarter-finals game.
Goals from Bale, Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo seal victory for the Whites, who are now well on their way to the Champions League semi-finals.
They have recorded eight wins and one draw in their nine games played thus far.
"They are going to come out and give their all and we are going to try and win and not speculate", revealed the defender.
The Real Madrid forward equalled the record of 14 goals in one edition of a European Cup with his strike against Borussia.

Experts: Alabama To See More Money For Education
On Wednesday, Davis will unveil the governor's recommendations for both budgets, but she said the suggestions for non-education agencies financed by the General Fund will be "relatively flat." She said Bentley has tried to stretch spending in tough economic times by closing three mental hospitals and cutting about 5,000 state employees.
Senate budget committee chairman Arthur Orr, R-Daphne, said it looks like education employees could get their first cost-of-living raise since fall 2007. He said a raise of 1 percent to 1.5 percent appear likely, but there doesn't appear to be enough money in the General Fund to give state employees a raise.
On the General Fund side, state court administrator Rich Hobson said level funding for the court system would be harmful. He said the system has cut 270 employees in the last two years. Forty were juvenile probation officers, and most of the rest worked in circuit clerks offices. He said funding for the court system is 27 percent less than it was in 2002.
Despite the good news Tuesday for the education budget, Green and Davis noted that Alabama still isn't back to the glory days of 2008. That year the education budget was $6.69 billion and the General Fund budget was $1.83 billion. Davis said Alabama's unemployment rate demonstrates why the state is still working to recover. The average unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in 2008 and 7.7 percent in 2012, she said.

Triumphs & Dragons & Bears, Oh My.
My first ride report on ADVrider. Posting it due to peer pressure from a few friends.
The last full week in June was the Triumph Dragon Raid, the unofficial 2009 Triumph Rally.
I departed SW Ohio early afternoon on Tuesday. It was my plan to take it easy going down and once past Knoxville, I'd explore some areas that I'd not seen in years past. I was on a quest to find an alternative Northern entry route into Cades Cove inside the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I had found a couple roads with my GPS software. I knew the Northern route existed, but when I tried to confirm the Western route with Google Maps satellite imagery, it appeared that it might possibly not go all the way through. I decided it would be best to commit to the Northern route on the way down and scout out the Western route at a later day.
I encountered this sign on my route. Unwilling to turn around at this point (which would have delayed me a couple hours), I continued on.
I eventually reached the Northern border, at which point the road turned to gravel/dirt.
Further down the road inside the park, is a "Do Not Enter" sign. My alternative route turned out to be a ONE WAY primitive road leading OUT of Cades Cove. I refused to give up and ignored the sign.
Abandoned Ranger Station.
About 5 miles into this primitive mountain road (going the wrong way), I came around a bend to see a spectacular view overlooking Cades Coves from about 1000 feet up.
Instead of taking photos of the view however, I was shocked by THIS. I turned my engine off and grabbed my camera. I start taking photos from about 50 feet away. He walks around for several minutes, looking for something to eat.

For a brief moment, I caught myself stepping off my bike to get a better shot, but then remember that this is a BEAR. It's not a pretty flower on this side of the road, it's a BEAR. I squeeze the clutch, and quietly roll forward. At about 20 feet away, my front brakes make a groan noise and it gets the bears attention.
He then decides that I would make a nice snack, and charges me. I nearly sh!t myself and instinctively jumped up from my bike with intent to run (not a smart thing to do), but he viewed my cowardly actions as aggression, and he retreats.
I'm pretty sure the red eyes in this photo means that this is an EVIL BEAR and he plans to eat me.
He walks over to a tree, stands up, takes a swipe at the vine and flings it in my direction. I interpret this to mean that I've been here too long. I start my bike, he steps off the road, and I leave (without taking any photos of the overlook).
7 miles down the road, I enter into Cades Cove and discover that this is "Rich Mountain" that I have travelled.
This is what I saw as I exited Rich Mountain and intercepted the Cades Cove Loop Road. Two deer were walking around the historic church and causing a traffic jam (very common inside Cades Cove).
After being stuck in tourist traffic for a very long time (and the Triumph on the verge of overheating), I finally reached Parsons Branch. I have travelled this road a couple times before.

Although "Primitive", unpaved, and rough in areas, I have found it to be a fairly manageable route.
The road is usually very dry and hard packed, but today it is a bit wet and somewhat slick.
It is a beautiful road though with plenty to see and commonly deserted.
Today however, I found it difficult to manage. I later found out that the area had some rough storms the day before, and much of the road had been washed out. Areas had been filled in with very loose/soft gravel. I couldn't take a photo of the bad spots because my hands were busy keeping the bike upright.
There are several creek crossing. I call them "Cheater" creek crossings, because they have concrete slabs poured across them. They are easier to cross than the road itself.
The creek crossings make for good spots to stop and take photos.
End of the line for Parsons Branch, which exits onto the Tail of the Dragon.

The view further down the road on 28 is spectacular.
It's getting late in the day, the Sun is going down, and the fog is rolling across the Lake.
I get to the Iron Horse Campgrounds at about 8:30pm with just enough light left to setup camp.
I've stayed at the Iron Horse multiple times over the years, and almost always in this spot (or thereabouts). It's an awesome motorcycle-oriented campground in the Smoky Mountains SW of Cherokee, near all the great roads and places to see. If you've not been there, you need to see it for yourself.
I've been recruited to lead five adventurous types through Parsons Branch. A couple friends from Dayton Ohio, and a family of 3 from the UK. I'm not eager to do Parsons Branch AGAIN so soon, but I'm happy to show a few friends something new. I refuse to sit through Cades Cove tourist traffic for 1/2-day however just to get to Parsons, so I lead them out in search of that Western entrance. I wasn't sure if the Western route was accessible, but wanted to find out. Worst case, we'd have to turn around and backtrack.
We set out for the mystery route, crossing over The Tail of the Dragon to get there. I zipped up ahead and tried to take some decent photos of my crew as they came through. This is Tom, a young laddy from the UK, on his Triumph Speed Triple. He is a very good rider.
Then along came Chris (Tom's father) riding two-up with his 14yr/old daughter Hannah on a Triumph Tiger 1050. They ride faster two-up than most riders do solo. I think the Brits are just born with motorcycle skills.

We found the Abrams Creek Park and Ranger Station, which has a primitive road leading into Cades Cove. I took this photo of all the non-damaged bikes, as I was confident someone was gonna drop their bike along the way. Less than a mile into the park, we discover that the Abrams access road is closed due to aggressive bear activity.
With the Abrams access road being closed, I had no choice but to lead them North to Rich Mountain, the one-way primitive road leading out of Cades Cove. All of them were willing to go the wrong way. About half way through, Brian (far left) wanted to stop to make sure all the riders were doing ok and talk about how excited he was to be on this road.
We came to the overlook where I saw the bear the day before. It was a good photo op and everyone took their shots. I now know that this is one of those spectacular views that you just can't photograph (you have to be there).
After taking photos and looking for bears, we finish up with the Rich Mountain access road, wade through the hot and miserable tourist traffic inside Cades Cove, and make our way onto Parsons Branch (one way, leading out).
As it turns out, Parsons Branch has been GRATED since my since the day before and is in much better shape. I'm no longer worried about the other riders. Again, I zip off ahead to take photos of the group as they came through. They're all having a blast.
They come through one of the many cheater creek crossings. Most of my action photos sucked due to the low light. Most of Parsons is shaded, and a relatively cool ride by comparison.
Brian is still giggling like a little girl and taking photos of his own. He had seen my trip reports from previous crossings on Parsons Branch and has been eager to see it for himself.
The group takes a break at the end of Parsons Branch. You might notice that Chris' family is rather tall (his 14yr/old daughter is over 6ft). Again, I'm impressed with all of them and it was a pleasure riding with them.
As we were taking a break at the end of Parsons Branch, Daryl rides by on the Dragon. He turns around and comes back. Daryl is a fellow LocalRiders member (Scrambled) from Southern Ohio in Adams County, East of Cincinnati. He rides a Rocket-III. As you can see in the photo, Brian is still talking about his ride through Parson Branch.
Traditional photo of the cliff side on 28, South of the Fontana Dam. This is the only time I used my full-size tripod the entire trip. I had hoped to use it for some videos on Parsons Branch, but it just didn't happen. I regret dragging it along with me the entire time.

It may not be a landscape or overlook, but still a thing of beauty to a moto junkie like myself. Most of my Triumph friends from Ohio were staying in vacation cabins.
I'm riding with a new group, most of which are from Dayton Ohio and I know them fairly well. All paved roads today. Bud (3rd from left) takes us to a good restaurant for breakfast. He met a hot young waitress here the day before that flirted with him (I think she was probably 60yrs/old). Bud, Greg (far right) and I split off as they want me to lead them to Bald River falls on the Western side of the Cherohala Skyway. Neither had seen it prior.
This is Greg with his Triumph Speed Triple on the Cherohala Skyway. Greg is a good friend and a very good rider from SW Ohio. He's also a fellow scooterist. I think he sometimes lurks here on LR and will occasionally make a post. I enjoy riding with Greg very much, because he is predictable and like-minded. I think just hanging out with him makes me a better rider. The Cherohala Skyway is probably my favorite of any road in the area (both paved and unpaved) and I rode it three times this past week.
I have about a thousand photos of Bald River Falls, but it still needs to be photographed when you're there. Hehe...
I arranged to take individual photos of Bud and Greg in front of the falls with their bikes on the way out, but Bud must have forgotten and rode right on by (I think he was still thinking about the hot young waitress back in town).
Bud and Greg led the way out down the 7-mile rural (paved) road back to the Western end of the Cherohala Skyway. It's a very enjoyable ride along side the rocky (and very refreshing) creek.

Groups are gathering and making plans. I hook up with a new group comprised of new and old friends. We intend to ride South in some notoriously good roads in Northern Georgia.
I used to take lots of photos from the saddle, but it's difficult to do with my almost-DSLR Kodak. I should have used my wife's handheld pocket camera for these shots, but never got it out. This is Derick on the orange Triumph Tiger 1050, another very good rider.
The group rides into Northern Georgia on some fantastic roads. We stop at Blood Mountain.
John Graves on the right. A Georgia local. He was the group leader and a very aggressive rider. He had a different type of personality and ran very tight ship. I think a few of the others may have had some issues with it, but I typically found it humorous.
The view at Blood Mountain is spectacular.
Sign in the Blood Mountain parking area.
More bear notices.
Blood Mountain historical marker.
We stop for lunch at T.W.O. (Two Wheels Only) in Dahlonega, GA.
Sign posted at TWO.
We stop at Moto-400, a Triumph dealership in Dawsonville, GA (about 50 miles North of Atlanta). We made a another stop a while later. Derick (orange Triumph Tiger) broke off from the pack to find his own way back to camp. I did the same.

When I broke off from the pack, I told John Graves that I would be swinging around to the South of the Cherohala Skyway and picking it up on the Western side. He said "there aren't any roads over there", to which I replied "I see one on my atlas". He tells me that it's not paved, and I say that's fine with me. Sure enough. It's not paved.
I find myself on the "Joe Brown Highway". Highway???
The beginning of the gravel.
It's basically a service road used by the power company to service the grid. It's fairly smooth, but VERY loose gravel, and winds through the mountains for 10 miles. There were times, particularly when descending, that I found myself not enjoying the ride too much. But I just kept telling myself that it's good training for roads North of the Arctic.
I took this photo at the end of the gravel to mark how long I spent on that 10 mile section (28 minutes).
As I came back into "Civilization", I stopped for a moment to make sure I knew where I was and where I was going.
I stopped for this photo because.... well, because I don't have any photos of my bike in front of a giant iron skillet.
One of the first overlooks on the Western side of the Cherohala Skyway.
A totally sweet Triumph Trident back at camp. You don't see many of these. Owned by Al from Toledo.
Micheal from Montreal Canada, riding his Rocket-III with custom trailer.
I've done somewhere around 400 miles this day, but I don't know exactly.
Late morning and EVERYONE in the camp is still sleeping or staggering around with bad hangovers. It was a helluva party the night before with an open bar provided by the Kentucky RATs with all the name brand liquors as well as home brew Moonshine (damn that stuff was good). They also had two kegs, Stella and Arrogant Bastard provided by a local Triumph dealership who wants to remain nameless. I'm moving kinda slow myself, but I'm up and ready to go. I can't get anyone going. Since I know that many of the riders plan to be back at the camp early for prime rib, I do the math and realize that there will be very little riding today. So I decide to break camp and head for home a day early.
I decide to ride the Cherohala one more time, from East to West, then catch I-75 in Sweetwater TN. Coming into the Skyway, I find myself with a group of exotic cars. I decide to stick with them because if anyone gets a ticket, it'll be the bright green Lotus in the front.

A few miles in, I was getting the "Cop" sign from several motorcyclists going the other way. The cars didn't slow down. I backed off, and allowed a Mini to pass me (which from my perspective, appeared to be faster than the others). Then the cop signs stopped. I knew why.
The lead Lotus got pulled over. It was a sad sight.
The other cars kept going and I followed. I snapped a few photos as I quietly passed by.
The rest of the cars pulled off at the very next opportunity.
The second car in line, a Lotus Elise. Check out the plate.
Lotus Esprit. I spoke with the Elise owner for a short bit, informed him of the motorcycle hand signs for "cop", and continued on my way.
I stopped at an overlook a few miles up, and at a higher elevation (cooler temps) to take some time to repack my load. Hanging with the exotic cars for a bit left me a bit uncomfortable with the way that I had everything packed.
The group of exotics eventually came by, but without the green Lotus Elise. I guess they gave up on him. I was guessing he got hauled in, but he eventually came around as well (at a much slower speed).
I took a long break at the overlook, waiting for some of the "Earlybirds" from camp to catch up with me, which they finally did. I caught up with them later, filtered through, and rode on up ahead to get photos of them as they came by. Unfortunately all my photos sucked, except for this one.
I caught up with them again at this motorcycle shop in Tellico Plains. I had lunch at the ice cream shop across the street, then I made my way home.
Final mileage, 62062. Unfortunately, I don't know what my start mileage was. I'm guessing I rode about 1600 miles round trip. I've been to Deals Gap about 20 times in the past 7 years. I've had some good trips down there, and I've had some less than ideal trips. I think this was probably the best time I've ever had there.
The most fuel I've ever put into the Trophy that I can recall (it has a 6.6gal tank).

Great stuff, Witttom- love the Trophy and your off-road adventures. I took a trip through that area last September on my '01 Speed Triple...saw two bears at the Cheoah Dam as well. I'm in the midst of a related ride report now...

Rumor: New Final Cut Pro to debut on April 12
According to ProVideo Coalition, Apple is planning on debuting the next version of Final Cut Pro at the Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet on April 12. According to PVC, "Apple will be using the Vegas Supermeet to announce the next version of Final Cut Pro. Supposedly, Apple will be taking over the entire event for their announcement, canceling all other sponsors, including AJA, Avid, Canon, BlackMagic, Autodesk and others, who were set to give presentations."
While the FCP SuperMeet does seem to be an odd event for Apple to launch the next version of its professional editing software (because NAB 2011 starts on April 9), the rumors do seem to have credibility because Canon, Avid and Autodesk have all confirmed that their sponsorships have been canceled because Apple has demanded no one else has the main stage. A Canon spokesperson supposedly confirmed to PVC, "Canon was told last night that Apple has demanded ALL 'lectern' or stage time exclusively." Likewise, Avid told them, "Apple doesn't want anyone to have stage time but them."
There's no word yet on what the next Final Cut Pro will feature, but in February, a group of high-profile video editors were supposedly given time with the software. Their reactions to the new FCP were overwhelmingly positive, with one of them saying the next Final Cut Pro is "the biggest overhaul to Final Cut Pro since the original version was created over 10 years ago."

Idaho State University head football coach Mike Kramer has been suspended for his team's game at Montana on Saturday for violating the university's conduct policy, the Associated Press reports, in the wake of a shoving incident in which Kramer was captured on video running across the field and shoving wide receiver Derek Graves to the ground during practice Oct. 3. Graves, who reported the incident to Pocatello police, suffered neck spasms and hasn't been cleared to play or practice by ISU's medical staff since the incident; the video received widespread national attention. Athletic director Jeff Tingey announced the suspension and said Kramer also was issued a letter of reprimand; the university said it would have no further comment because the matter was a personnel issue.
The Bengals' associate head coach Don Bailey will serve as the acting head coach on Saturday as Idaho State (1-6, 0-4 Big Sky) takes on Montana (3-5, 1-4).

Seven former heads of the CIA formally requested that President Obama halt an ongoing inquiry into suspect abuse (aka torture) by the agency, arguing that important CIA work would be hampered by such an investigation. Obama didn't bite, claiming that "nobody's above the law." Except George W. Bush, it seems. —JCL
The BBC:
President Obama has rejected a request by seven former heads of the CIA to end the inquiry into allegations of abuse of suspects held by the agency.
"Nobody's above the law," Mr Obama said in an interview with the American CBS television programme Face The Nation.
The US Attorney General Eric Holder last month named a prosecutor to examine whether the CIA had gone beyond approved interrogation methods.
The former heads wrote to Mr Obama saying the probe would hamper CIA work.
White House / Pete Souza
Obama, shown here speaking at an unrelated event, told an interviewer recently that " ... I continue to believe that nobody's above the law."

Chic Decorative Heart

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Chic Decorative Heart is easy to make, and has a ton of uses. It can be a napkin holder, a gift topper, a tree ornament, and and in a pinch go anywhere that you need a touch of shabby chic decor.
- 24 gauge copper wire
- 7/8" wide sheer ribbon
dried rosebug
Cut about an 18" length of copper wire.
Begin to weave the wire in and out of the sheer ribbon, about a 1/4" from the top of the ribbon. I used a 7/8" wide sheer ribbon. Continue weaving the ribbon until you develop a nice ruffle.
Twist the two ends of the wire together - and shape the wired ribbon into a heart.
Create a bow from 3/8" wide pink velvet ribbon and secure bow to the tip of the heart with wire.
- Add a dried rose bud to the velvet ribbon with a small piece of wire.
You can vary the ornament's look with different kinds of sheer ribbon and other tiny decorations.

Winter Blocks
So I have seen these done several different ways- but this is my take on it. I know I am a little late posting these but they can be done for any holiday. I used 4 12×12 pieces I had left over from other projects and painted around the edges. After the paint was dry I modpodged the scrapbook paper on.
The block on the right is not sanded. Another good reason to sand the edges, is because it hides the places I cut crooked! whoops!
To finish these off you can add as much bling as you want, but I chose to make them simple, with all that was going on below them.
These are seriously so easy and very reasonable to make. I plan to change them out for every holiday! Why not?!

Captain Andrew Strauss was at a loss to explain what had gone wrong for his England team after they were beaten for the fourth Test in a row on Thursday. Sri Lanka's 75-run victory in the first Test in Galle means England could lose their place at the top of the world rankings if they suffer a 2-0 whitewash in the series. "You need to be a rocket scientist to work out where things have gone wrong," Strauss told reporters after his side were bowled out for 264 on the fourth day. "We haven't put scores on the board and we are not going to win too many Test matches if that's the case. "I thought we showed in the second innings, technically and game-plan wise, there's a lot of skill in our dressing room against spin bowling. "We just didn't apply ourselves in the right manner in the first innings," added Strauss, referring to their meagre total of 193. England struggled to cope with spin when they lost 3-0 to Pakistan in their most recent series in the Gulf and the visitors were undone by the turning ball again in Galle as slow left-armer Rangana Herath picked up 12 wickets in the match. "In the fourth innings you can understand the odd ball spitting and you'll get the odd dismissal but the first innings was no excuse and that is what is most frustrating," said Strauss who is himself desperately out of form with the bat. The skipper singled out second-innings centurion Jonathan Trott (112) for praise. "Everyone has got different game plans," said Strauss. "There's always a balance between attack and defence in test cricket and Jonathan was a good example of that. "He put the bad balls away and a lot of the time he was patient enough to wait for that bad ball. "A lot of the guys have got great pedigree with the bat and they will get another opportunity to prove it in next week's second test in Colombo. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene was delighted with his team's win. "It's a good challenge for us to go up against the world's number one team," said Jayawardene. "We knew we would have to work really hard to get a result against them and the series will give us an idea where we are right now and where we need to improve. "This is a good start for us, we just need to try and maintain it. The English batting lineup is top class and they were going to come hard at us," added Jayawardene. "They had a few partnerships and we had to wait patiently. Once we got the new ball we knew we would create more opportunities and that's what we did. "There were also a couple of really good catches to turn things around for us."

Herath spins Sri Lanka to victory over EnglandLeft-arm spinner Rangana Herath claimed a match haul of 12 wickets as Sri Lanka condemned top-ranked England to their fourth consecutive Test defeat on Thursday in the series opener. The 34-year-old grabbed six wickets in each innings as the tourists, attempting what would have been their highest successful fourth-innings chase of 340, were bowled out for 264 soon after tea on the fourth day.

Not many actors can say they've performed in a production directed by a 12-year-old, but Erin Coley has always had an instinctive sense of how to put on a show. Years later, she and her husband, J.R., founded Standing Ovation Performing Arts, assembling eight other experts in the field to encourage kids to get on the stage as early as possible. Improv comedy, puppetry, and playwriting help students express themselves while giving them the skills to deliver confident class presentations and rousing monologues on the futility of naptime.
Matthew Altbuch started learning the art of circus performance at the tender age of eight, quickly mastering the unicycle, juggling, and the trapeze. Throughout school, he performed in talent shows, ultimately going on to spend time with the Florida State Flying High Circus after college. Eventually, he realized his passion lay in sharing the circus arts with others, so he founded Aerial Trapeze Academy to carry out his mission of training performers around the world. He now lives his dream, joined by three other teachers as he holds trapeze classes for the next generation of gravity-defiers.
In a mixed repertory concert, Boca Ballet Theatre's troupe of dancers flutters and floats across the stage to the choreography of co-artistic director Dan Guin. "Spring Fever" borrows from both classical and contemporary ballet and elicits awe throughout the 520-seat theater with dazzling jazz flourishes, speedy costume changes, and dancers who solve Rubik's cubes with their feet. Guin's "Bubblin' Over" strikes modern chords as dancers twirl and pirouette to music by Grammy Award-winning crooner Michael Bublé, and comedic folly injects new life into Ballet Russes' classic "Graduation Ball." The lively production also marks a world premiere of Guin's new original work, "Voyage Classique."
Pro-Am Dance Studio trains students in the art of dance with 25 professional teachers, a wide range of styles, and classes for all ages and levels, all taught in a 5,200-square-foot dance studio. Children as young as 3 can immerse themselves in rhythm with one-hour classes that switch between tap, ballet, and acrobatics, preparing tots for futures performing onstage or leading plucky bands of Juilliard-trained street toughs. Older kids can opt to branch out into other body-moving disciplines such as jazz, hip-hop, and pointe. Adults can take advantage of ballet, yoga, tap, and hip-hop classes, whether they've only recently grown their first set of twinkle toes or have spent years honing their skills to distract their feet from the constant mockery of their hands. Classes are scheduled Monday–Saturday, and students can attend as many sessions as they like throughout the duration of their Groupon.
We are a two theatre performing arts center producing 10-14 Broadway style shows per year. The Stage Door has been providing quality professional theatre for 18 years in Broward.

That interview was such bull****.
I can't stand it when people think Jesse's "natural game" is to go out and hit everything. It's never been that.
His natural game is to simply enjoy his cricket. He likes batting and he doesn't need to be slogging to enjoy it.
**** off Ronchi. ****ing Wellington and their imports. Get your own players you **** ****s and stop playing ****ing Australians.
The **** didn't even come home to CD. Watling better damn well cement his spot because a test with Ronchi in it is one I am not watching.
PEWS to gagf when he replies to this. Played ODIs for Australia, therefore tough luck, on your bike son. Probably a better option than Wade as things stand as well if he can catch.
Basically telling Paris Hilton "sorry, you're singing without any conviction on this track. I think your true calling was porn right from the start", to the point she actually concurs and makes the switch.

The good thing about Ryder atm is that he's reached a level of fitness where he can actually consistently be on the park. This is his fifth first-class game in a row without being injured.
Ronchi WAG
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left

Vimes tells it how it is:
Another comedy dismissal for Jesse in the second innings. Tennis bats a bouncer to mid-off.
That Wgtn pooch analyst is so damn quick on the stop button. Sort of gives it a Fox News car chase effect.
Some lovely deliveries from Sodhi in the second innings, very unlucky not to bowl Ronchi at one point.
ND's slip fielders letting them down in both innings. Southee must be keen to have Guppy back at 2nd slip.

Nuclear Baby
No surprise then that in real life, I have cats instead of babies. One of them, Sara, has unusually long legs and a small head. Sometimes when I'm in the kitchen, I'll pull out a top drawer and her face will be in it, staring up at me with her large green eyes. She gets herself into this pickle by climbing into the drawer from the back, and is then unable to get out. This morning I rounded a corner to see Sara hurrying down the hallway with an empty box of Kleenex stuck on her head, and I laughed for the first time in days.
I put a box on my head once. It was the last year I went trick or treating, even though I should have called it quits the year before. I was in sixth grade and my best friend Michelle and I decided we'd go as a two-headed alien. My family had just gotten a new refrigerator so we were all set for the body, and two smaller boxes for our twin heads were easy to find. We taped everything together. Two armholes, two neck holes and two eye holes later we were almost complete, but not before jabbing two metal clothes hangers into the box tops for antennas. We taped a garbage bag on the front: FEED ME.
Since we only had one small eye hole apiece, the neighborhood was hard to navigate, but we made it. We shouted "Trick or Treat!" at each new household, secretly glad that our identities were hidden. We chatted about babysitting jobs and junior high coming up as we toddled down the sidewalks between groups of children, trying to maintain our balance. At one nicely-kept house with the porch light on, we once again lurched up to the bell. The door swung open and we shouted "Trick or Treat!" into the chiseled face of the blond-haired eighth-grade boy I'd had a secret crush on for three years. "Hi Katie, hi Michelle, how ya doin'?" he said. "My mom's makin' me answer the door. Want some candy? Here ya go. See ya later." Slam.
Those were no wonder years, baby. Those were the years that turned girls into stony-faced men.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A convection cell is a phenomenon of fluid dynamics that occurs in situations where there are density differences within a body of liquid or gas. The density differences result in rising and/or falling currents, a key characteristic of a convection cell. The convection usually requires a gravitational field but in microgravity experiments, thermal convection has been observed without gravitational effects being needed.[1]
Fluids are materials that exhibit the property of flow. Both gases and liquids have fluid properties, and in sufficient quantity, even particulate solids such as salt, grain, and gravel show some fluid properties. When a volume of fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense and thus more buoyant than the surrounding fluid. The colder, denser fluid settles underneath the warmer, less dense fluid and forces it to rise. Such movement is called convection, and the moving body of liquid is referred to as a convection cell. This particular type of convection, where a horizontal layer of fluid is heated from below, is known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Convection cells can form in any fluid, including the Earth's atmosphere (where they are called Hadley cells), boiling water, soup (where the cells can be identified by particles they transport, such as grains of rice), the ocean, or the surface of the sun. The size of convection cells is largely determined by the fluid's properties, and they can even occur when the heating of a fluid is uniform.
A rising body of fluid typically loses heat because it encounters a cold surface; because it exchanges heat with colder liquid through direct exchange; or in the example of the Earth's atmosphere, because it radiates heat. At some point, the fluid becomes denser than the fluid underneath it, which is still rising. Since it cannot descend through the rising fluid, it moves to one side. At some distance, its downward force overcomes the rising force beneath it, and the fluid begins to descend. As it descends, it warms again through surface contact or conductivity and the cycle repeats itself.
Warm air has a lower density than cool air, so warm air rises within cooler air,[2] similar to hot air balloons.[3] Clouds form as relatively warmer air carrying moisture rises within cooler air. As the moist air rises, it cools causing some of the water vapor in the rising packet of air to condense.[4] When the moisture condenses, it releases energy known as latent heat of fusion which allows the rising packet of air to cool less than its surrounding air,[5] continuing the cloud's ascension. If enough instability is present in the atmosphere, this process will continue long enough for cumulonimbus clouds to form, which support lightning and thunder. Generally, thunderstorms require three conditions to form: moisture, an unstable airmass, and a lifting force (heat).
All thunderstorms, regardless of type, go through three stages: the developing stage, the mature stage, and the dissipation stage.[6] The average thunderstorm has a 24 km (15 mi) diameter. Depending on the conditions present in the atmosphere, these three stages take an average of 30 minutes to go through.[7]
The heating through compression of descending air is what is responsible for such winter phenomena as the chinook (as it is known in western North America) or the Föhn (in the Alps).
The Sun's photosphere is composed of convection cells called granules, rising columns of superheated (5800°C) plasma averaging about 1000 kilometres in diameter. The plasma cools as it rises and descends in the narrow spaces between the granules.
