I used WP for a project that I did for someone but now I got a problem. And to say it frankly: I'm a designer, not a developer. So I'm a zero when it comes to WP.
The coders who did this can't help me so I ask here:
The thing is this: the site I (we) did is using a archive, displaying months. When you now click on lets say "June 2009" you get a empty result.
I already also figured out why this is. Because it links to
Now if you link to www.bla.xx/?m=20096 (I just removed the 0 for the month) it works.
My question now is: how can you teach wordpress to display months with out the stupid 0 ?
the archive.php got that line (not the whole line) -> http://pastie.org/517528
I know "m" is for month in that format: 06 , 09, 10…etc
Is there a format for that which can change this? Or is there something at the posts that must be changed?
I would be very nice if someone can help here.

I started by buying a Garmin GPSMap 640 on sale for $720 two years ago, but decided that I could get better features for less money by doing it myself, so I returned it unopened to WestMarine. Here's a brief rundown of my costs as best as I recall:
MSI Wind Netbook $350 (but I already had one that had sat unused for 2 years, so it really cost me nothing)
Industrial strength Bluetooth-RS232 adapters: 2 @ $58 each at
RAM Mount Toughtray kit
for attaching to pedestal guard $80
4-port network box ~$7 at Radio Shack
2 RS-232 D-sub female plugs ~$5 each
OpenCPN chartplotter software: free online
NOAA charts: free online
I chose to use Bluetooth because I wanted to be able to put it anywhere on the boat without wires hanging around. You could do a wired hookup using USB-Serial connectors instead, and those connectors can be found for as little as $2 each. Many people are doing WiFi connections also, but that was more complicated and the power draw would be more than the Bluetooth adapters.
This setup gives me nice features that you can't get with a standard chartplotter. For instance, the RAM mount allows me to swivel the computer to view from anywhere in the cockpit. The boat is small enough that it helps to sit on the windward side when heeling, so I can turn the screen sideways toward me. Not much heeling in this pic, but you can see the netbook facing sideways:
Another thing that I like is that the GPS and AIS Bluetooth signals are "part of the boat." By that I mean that I can bring any Bluetooth-enabled laptop, tablet, cell phone, etc onto the boat and with appropriate software I have the ability to track these signals. Also, the GPS receiver is hardwired to the radio and on the same 12v circuit, so if the radio is on it always has GPS feeding the DSC. If the Netbook chartplotter dies, the GPS will still work independently of that, ensuring that the DSC function is always fully capable.
What I like most is the ability to run OpenCPN twice in side-by-side windows. One window is zoomed in to see local obstacles, the other one is zoomed out to see AIS vessels:

1857 was one of the most important years in the history of India. It was in this year that the country ruled by the foreigners rose to fight for its rights and though British-written English textbooks brush it as a sepoy mutiny, we consider it as our First War Of Independence. Vishnubhat Godse's Mazha Pravas (translated by Shanta Gokhale and Priya Adarkar as Adventures Of A Brahmin Priest) describes the pilgrimages he undertook to earn some money for his family and the unexpected turn of events which took him in the middle of the events of 1857. The book, written twenty-five years after his travels, is the first account of the 1857 events as seen through Indian eyes.
Godse wrote his memoirs on the urging of a historian who both shaped and edited it. This book uses 19th century idiom and depicts contemporary familial, social and political life in cross-regional terms and straddles historiography and literature. He interprets the Rebellion as a righteous response to British interference in Hindu and Muslim inheritance, and his assessment of its failure was a moral one: It was the rebels' unforgivable sin of killing women and children-against the shastras-that ensured their eventual defeat. Godse's narration plunges the reader straight into the heart of turbulent times and offers a slice of history that has impacted popular imagination for the last 150 years. It illustrates how rigidly the social structure operated, how the British gradually gained control, and highlights the power that Vedic rites and their performers had over the population. This creative travelogue of the nineteenth century serves as one of the authoritative bookends of the historical discourse on Rani Lakshmibai, Jhansi, and 1857.
Godse writes about Jhansi, "The city, as seen from the ramparts of the fort, now appeared to be utterly destroyed...Horses, elephants, bulls, cows, buffaloes, donkeys, mules, and dogs were wandering the streets, bellowing for food and water..."
This first Indian account of the Uprising is sprinkled with anecdotes and descriptions of courtly relationships. The narrative captures the fear, hysteria and human emotions beautifully. The stories of his meetings with people from various walks of life evoke strong sentiments. Some tug at you heart while reading about a distant time.
"See what happened to us," Godse says at the end of the book. "I travelled far away because my family was heavily in debt. I endured happy times and hardships. At the end of it all, when it was time to return home, I had no money. So it is all a question of fate. You cannot make plans to earn money." As a first memoir from Indian point of view on 1857, this is a must read.

Dear Inside Jobbers,
What a long strange trip it's been. You may have noticed that there wasn't an episode last week, or this week. Sad to say, that is the new norm.
Gene, Lee, and I have tried very hard to go deep in the archives and entertain you with some incredible investigations into the greatest conspiracies in history, as well as a few dick jokes here or there. We had some laughs, we learned a thing or two, and, most humbling, we met some other folks out there interested in that weird intersection between second shooters and jokes about not having any friends (that Venn diagram is probably just a circle, eh?).
Unfortunately, the realities of producing this show have caught up to the realities of producing this show: the time commitments to making a free hourish-show are surprising, and, more importantly, we've already covered some of the biggest conspiracies around. We've decided to cease producing our biweekly show, and instead invest more time and effort in producing specials. Think Dan Carlin, but with a shocking number of references to dongs and BMs (so, think Dan Carlin).
We're still around. We'll still be checking the twitter (@insidejobscast) and email (firstname.lastname@example.com). The show will just be irregular (like Lee's bowel movements) and longer than normal (unlike Gene's penis). Thanks for sticking with us as we navigate the trenches of D-level podcast superstardom and responsibility-laden adulthood. We wanna make a good show, and it seems this is the best way we can do it.
For those looking to fill the void of Inside Jobs, please subscribe to Lee's upcoming new podcast Talk on the Internet at talkontheinternet.com. Not only will the new show feature Lee's conspiracy theory expertise, but also Onionesque news satire and a regular call-in segment with celebrity "cohosts." Brian and Gene will be around, too, and if they do anything they wanna tell you about, we'll try to make sure you hear about it.
We'll see you soon. Until then, follow the money.
Brian, Gene, and Lee
What exactly landed in Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947? Join Brian, Gene, and Lee as they investigate the Roswell UFO Incident on this episode of Inside Jobs.
Lee digs deep into the life of Walt Disney, investigating his dark associations and myths and legends about the original imagineer.
On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson claimed North Vietnamese crafts attacked U.S. ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. But what really happened that night?
James Bond: real or super real? Join conspiracy expert Lee Goldin as he investigates the real James Bond on this episode of Inside Jobs.
On September 16, 1920, the world's first car bomb detonated on Wall Street, killing 38 people and wounding hundreds of others, in the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil up to that time. The police focused on warnings sent out several days before the bombings by a former professional tennis player. Join Brian as he investigates the Wall Street Bombings of 1920 on this episode of Inside Jobs.
In 1953, the United States executed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for selling American atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. But doubts linger about their guilt. Join Brian as he investigates The Rosenberg Case on Inside Jobs.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalicino vintage has received a standing ovation from winemakers and critics alike. But it is not easy to generalise about a vintage in Montalcino. It is rare to hear unanimous praise. Read More
A little Dolcetto at lunch
The Dolcetto d'Alba Vignevillej from Brovia at Trullo restaurant in Islington.
Dolcetto is a fantastic lunch wine, and a good one should be able to step in when the (Barolo) boss is away and do a decent job. This Dolcetto d'Alba Vignevillej from Brovia does this and more – it has all the easy satisfaction of a lunch wine and a pretty violet colour, but can cut through a beef shin ragu, particularly the one at Trullo restaurant in Islington that has been cooked so long the meat has an incredible creamy texture.
Insta-Italian wines
Join me on Instagram for Italian wines I've had recently. Like this one on a recent trip to Sicily – the brilliant Eruzione 1614 in Palermo.
Mario Cordero (Vietti) talks Moscato d'Asti
Here I talk to Mario Cordero of the brilliant Vietti winery in Piemonte when he came to visit Bibendum Wine in London.
Vietti are well known for their serious single cru Barolo, so I ask him, how do you like to have your Moscato d'Asti?
This has to be one of the most fun wines in the world and truly lights up the room when it is opened. As my friend said after seeing this video, Mario should get the award for World's Best Dad.
Beautiful Gestures in Campania
After paying for a ticket to see the Palace in Caserta I asked, why is the main entrance in darkness?
To give you an idea of the opulence and amount of marble of this entrance, this is the same place that is used as stand-in for the Vatican in films and also used as a set for Star Wars.
Yet when we arrived, we had to climb the marble stairs in darkness, reducing the grandest staircase I have ever seen to a hollow echo-chamber. The fabulous silk curtains were almost threadbare and sun-damaged, the walls cracked and scuffed.
Despite this neglect, every room overwhelmed, as if outdoing the previous room in their lavish praise to gold. My calves ached from the amount of walking on marble; it must have been kilometres.
There is also something of this forgotten glamour and grandness to the wines here. I tasted some true greats in Campania. They are unquestionably brilliant but… it is like talking on a radio in a power cut. And just as frustrating. It's not well known and there seems to be a communication breakdown somewhere. For such grandness in the glass, these should be in every serious cellar.
After sightseeing at the palace, we visited a friend who runs a few designer fashion shops in town. At his house, he had a cellar of local Campanian wines and I was thrilled he opened and talked about them with me. He wore a hankerchief in his pocket of his very beautiful tailored suit and on the way to dinner walked through the town collecting friends as stylishly and coolly as a character in Reservoir Dogs (English speakers need to consult a dictionary to understand Neapolitan hand-gestures). He dripped with a style that I see in photos of my grandparents but very rarely see today on people my own age: handmade and tailored.
We walked into the bar for a quick espresso before dinner. As we walked in, a man walking out said, "Whatever they are having, I'll pay." We went to an excellent seafood restaurant and the wines were organised all beforehand. The owner brought out wine after wine for us to try…
Most of the dinner centred around seafood and a white wine called DOCEASSAjE – a blend of Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo, made by Vinosia (this is quite easily available in UK). Like cool honey, I exclaimed in my basic Italian to many bravissimi at the table and a round of applause.
Eating in Italy can be more like theatre compared to the usual stay-at-home DVD experience. The theatre of the table.
No one liked the pasta. I thought it was fine, not the best, but fine. But judging by the dark looks around the table, I was worried about the job security of the Chef. These guys took their pasta very seriously.
For me, every course of food and wine was like the next room in the palace. One course after another of glamorous indulgence and many unexpected courses. These twists and turns which keep the night interesting and moving.
We ended the night opening aglianico and aglianico-blends, grappa, and a few cigars (of course, I don't smoke cigars but but the bitterness of the tobacco adds an extra level to the taste of the wine).
Tasting an Aglianico such as this one from the absolute master Mastroberardino is the same ecstasy as tasting Barolo for the first time. It is rare to see Aglianico with age; it is not heavy and dense, but the flavours fall gently onto the palate like ash falling from a volcano: tobacco, cherry and licorice.
For a wine lover, this region is like stumbling upon an empty palace full of gold and velvet. There are a few good wines imported into the UK, but many of the region is like a cultural treasure left to its own devices. When the whole world is moving towards bland, why is Italy's cultural richness left to the elements? Unlike the important infrastructure that was so fundamental to the development of Tuscany as a region, there is nothing as maintained and reliable as the autostrade 1 south of Naples.
At the train station in Caserta, on the way back to Rome, I thought, do I have to leave? I wistfully looked at the train timetable at the slow trains heading further south…

For Super-Geeky & Friends: Enoteca Ferrara, Roma 00153
If you have friends who say Italian wine is confusing, then take them to this wine bar in Trastevere in Rome.
The wines on the blackboard called me in from the street with a listing as colourful and clear as notes on a children's toy xylophone.
In principle, the best wine bars have a sense of non-fussiness. That is why Ferrara is an incredible feat: Italy is a country where nearly everybody is a fussy oenophile. Oh yes, everyone is an expert; but perhaps Italians truly need to be with 1000s of grape varieties and so many excellent regions to choose from. Regardless, this tiny wine bar was not a bad compromise between wines that are accessible and interesting.
Ca' del Bosco Franciacorta
Imagine the bubbles of Franciacorta are not spherical but square and you'll have the true idea of Italy's premier sparkling wine.
This is one of the most disciplined DOCG regions in the North of Italy, between Milan and Venice, and has a super-commitment to quality that is almost frightening if you expect Italy to be a fun Read more
Reclaiming the Noble Wines of Southern Italy: Sara Carbone, Basilicata
A properly romantic wine has a sense of adventure. Sara Carbone's wines from Mount Vulture in Basilicata, Southern Italy bring to mind the line from Descartes about travelling that it "is like talking to men from other centuries." Not only are her Aglianico del Vulture and Fiano complex and interesting wines in themselves but they are also a journey through Southern Italian history.
The Fiano label (left) tells a love story: Emperor Federick II's castle for his lover was in the town of Melfi in Basilicata. He was the ruler of Sicily and Southern Italy and the monarchy lasted well into the 18th Century. During the time under the monarchy, Naples was the third largest city in Europe after London and Paris.
Over the past 10 years, winemakers have started to reclaim the wealth of the noble varieties of Fiano and Aglianico found in Basilicata. On the dormant volcano slopes, only 100% Aglianico grapes are permitted in the wine. Sara Carbone is a young winemaker whose family once sold their grapes to the most regarded winemaker in the region, Paternoster, and since 2005, bottles the wine under her own label.
Tasting Notes
The 2010 Fiano, Basilicata Bianco is an example of the heights this variety can achieve Read More
Seeing Rosso: the economic and social impact of changing Rosso di Montalcino
Why? I keep asking myself, Why?
I am seeing the news coming in from the Brunello Consorzio and it is exasperating! Why this constant push by the Consorzio to change the Rosso di Montalcino blend when most producers have clearly said no. Why is the decision that was scuppered in February back on the agenda in the first weeks of September, during vintage?
When the Brunello Consorzio reconvene again, during stressful vintage time (Sept 7), they will be there to talk about changing the laws for Rosso di Montalcino to include international varieties.
Why change a clear and unique product, from one tiny town in Tuscany, to make it more generic?
What is tabled by the Consorzio are two or three different versions of Rosso di Montalcino which will all have different names: Rosso di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese and Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese Superiore. In other words, there is a move towards segmentation in this one little wine, which in layman's terms, is a baby Brunello.
Prosecco is for girls
"She's angry with us for dissing Prosecco – every girls favourite fizz!"*
Sure. Prosecco is for girls. Just like My Little P ony and the colour pink. Peaches are girly and how much do you love those peachy, soft bubbles? It's not as expensive as Champagne but it sure does look like it!!!** Get him to pick out a DOCG Conegliano, Valdobbiadene*** (under £15 a bottle) if he won't give you the credit card after all those shoes you bought, oops! Because girls you're worth it. And if he wants a glass there's always the top Prosecco from Cartizze*** – powerful, strong, some would even say, masculine – but let's not go there, girlfriend.
100% Lagrein (blink and you'll miss it)
There are so many different and beautiful wines in Italy, blink and you could miss one.
This is what happened to me recently after a spate of Italian tastings in London.
It wasn't until I looked back over my notes, I started to see a pattern emerging: 100% Lagrein.
A red wine from Alto Adige, an area up in the Italo-Swiss border, which in my mind, is associated with super-Alpine-bright white wines and Pinot Nero. Yet this peculiar red wine came up winning in tastings time and again. Why?
This is a convergence of two style popular at the moment: one style is about powerful, heavy reds and the other is the mineral, lean style. What is different about Lagrein is the two styles do not fight but, instead, meet in the middle for a big, friendly, delicious hug! The Lagrein grape is genetically related to Teroldego, Syrah and Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero). There is a look and perfume of a big wine but there is a leanness on the palate, especially if the tannins and structure are there. What about the actual wines? Read More
Funhouse of Mirrors in Chianti Classico
Chianti Classico is a funhouse of mirrors where Sangiovese enters different rooms and finds certain flavours are emphasized and others shrunk until there is a confusion about where you are and what you are supposed to be tasting. Someone cries, "Get me out of here!" and you rush back out, full of adrenaline, back into the big wine circus.
Then you find Castello della Paneretta: Chianti Classico clearly mirrored by Sangiovese brilliance.
The only surprise is it never shouts about the fact it shares the same small valley as Paolo di Marchi's Isole e Olena, a place well-known for Sangiovese radiance. This is the same area in Chianti Classico where Paolo di Marchi went on his adventure with international varieties and hurriedly came home to Sangiovese.
No, this wine is reassuringly unsurprising. Both Castello di Paneretta and Isole e Olena share the same iron kiss, prosciutto taste and cinnamon tannins. The 90% Sangiovese Castello di Paneretta is a humble wine – too humble, in fact; you may even miss it on the shelf – yet has a light-weight confidence which makes it a benchmark, value Chianti Classico at under £15.
Sangiovese lovers in the Chianti Funhouse: this mirror is the real one.

A guide to getting more Valpolicella pleasure (featuring Stefano Accordini)
Just as folk music gets louder and more fun as the evening progresses, Valpolicella goes up in different levels of intensity and is often all the better for it.
Understanding these different levels of Valpolicella opens up a world of drinking pleasure.
But it is not always easy.
There are traditional producers and modern producers, seriously bulk wines from this nerve centre of Italian economy alongside artisanal winemakers in the hills; on top of that there are winemaking techniques unique to this region.
Valpolicella has always been about innovation, since Roman times, so you'd be forgiven for not keeping up. Read More
The Super-Tuscan Snafu: Considering James Suckling's list of Top 12 Tuscan wines from over 10 years ago.
When learning Italian, I have been told many times the most beautiful accent to learn is from Siena in Tuscany because Tuscans are the poets of Italy.
The language of wine in Tuscany is also very rich, with a long tradition of culture and history with interesting local idiosyncrasies, yet the recent past, dominated by James Suckling, Wine Spectator and their lists of Super-Tuscans, has left many in Tuscany not singing but mumbling.
Before I go any further, let's get this out of the way. James Suckling was not the person to coin the word "Super-Tuscan". It was used in a book co-authored by Nicholas Belfrage and Jancis Robinson called "Life beyond Lambrusco" (1985). It's a common misconception in the wine trade, perhaps driven by James Suckling's enthusiasm of Super-Tuscans during his time at Wine Spectator.
On his website, Suckling recently published his 12 Most Collectible Tuscan Wines from over ten years ago (Question: How many of these wines are NOT made from "international" varieties? Answer at the end of this post ):
Branko, Collio Pinot Grigio 2009
Don't tell me this is a Pinot Grigio. Apart from just learning the Collio region has recently been wiped out by violent storms; this wine is proof that we have accepted a feeble lie about the Pinot Grigio grape for far too long. This is the real deal. From the North-East of Italy, on the border of Slovenia in Friuli- Venezia Giulia, it is full of intense flavours and texture: maybe even too much for some used to the commercial, watery stuff. Ginger is a strong taste and it gives an almost hot, spiciness to this wine, but it is swiftly balanced by a soft creamy almond and pear character. And then the grippy texture grabs you back to the glass. It is more expensive than the average Pinot Grigio, but unlike most sad excuses for white wine, this actually tastes of something and somewhere. I hope Branko's vineyards are okay, nearly 300 ha in Collio were wiped out last week, with many vineyards devastated by up to 80-100%. Best wishes to everyone in Collio.

Breakfast wine: Moscato d'Asti on Sundays
It is not often you find a wine with a sense of humour, but this lightly sparkling, lightly sweet wine is the vinous equivalent of being overpowered by tickling. Logic says, don't give in, but the frizzante, well – it is hardly bubbles, and 5.5% alcohol is hardly wine, and it is as sweet and light as a hazelnut meringue or biting into a fresh mille-feuille pastry on a first time visit to Paris. Something monumental is born from the entirely fun and frivolous. Oscar Wilde once said, "Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast", and most times I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, which is why Moscato d'Asti is the perfect antidote for lazy Sunday breakfasts.
Anselmi Wines from the Veneto: What Happens After the Divorce
"You are not "suave" as your name implies, you are uncontrollable, untameable, unfaithful. So that's it. I'm going. I'm leaving you, and this letter tells you why… It is easy to understand that hillside viniculture is potentially very different indeed from the viniculture of the plains. Unfortunately, the market mistakes one for the other: the bad vine chases the good vine away!"
Roberto Anselmi. From an open letter to the industry announcing his "divorce" from Soave Consorzio. 2000.
Driving along the freeway in the Veneto to visit Anselmi in Monteforte d'Alpone, our little hire car barely dodged the hurtling industrial trucks. It is immediately apparent the Veneto is a major industrial centre in Italy, jostling with Sicily for top place in Italy for production of bulk wine. Even if the green hillsides beyond the freeway are dotted with ancient castles.
Imagine Roberto Anselmi on his motorbike weaving through these trucks (or by-passing it completely in his helicopter!) and you have a good idea of how different the wines of Anselmi are to the rest of the region. Read More
Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino to be sold? Rumours from Montalcino
Rumours from the hills of Montalcino today is Colle Massari is acquiring Piero Palmucci's Poggio di Sotto. An elderly gentleman with no offspring interested in taking over the vineyard, it could soon be in the hands of Claudio Tipa, winemakers from Maremma, part of the family who are also patrons of Alinghi team in the America's Cup.
The tiny 8ha of vineyard (12 ha in total) produce some of the most mystical and benchmark expressions of Brunello in Montalcino. To say this a favourite wine of mine is an understatement. Not only is the flavour burned in my memory as perfect expression of Sangiovese in Montalcino, and I use it as a complete reference point, but it was also Read More
Notes from Parma: What is quality Lambrusco?
Parma is VIOLETS. Aged hams, dark chocolate, profumo, the fizz of Lambrusco.
Violets became popular under Maria-Luiga, the Duchess of Parma and second wife of Napoleon, whose presence can be felt everywhere walking along the prosciutto-coloured streets.
The smell of violet has three distinct parts: candy-sweet, violet flower and violet leaf. In my opinion, this can be seen as the spectrum of quality of Lambrusco. The worst being confectionary and the best redolent of violet leaf. A good, refreshing Lambrusco has a violet leaf dryness with a violet fizz that immediately dissipates into an ecstasy of violet perfume.
After my last post, I had some rather strong reactions to my assertion there could even be a possibility of quality Lambrusco. Think of it this way. Rose was also once considered a sweet and cheap drink. Look at it today. Over the past 10 years it has become one of the most versatile and food-friendly wines on the menu.
What do you think? Can you recommend anything good? Or is Lambrusco a hopeless case?
Notes from Parma: My response to "What Food, What Wine" Competition's Zero Score for Italy
Emilia-Romagna is strange. The train departure board could be a poster announcing a stadium tour of gastronomic rockstars – Parma, Bologna, Modena – and yet… as far as wine goes, the region is mostly known for its sweet fizzy Lambrusco.

Aston Villa midfielder Barry Bannan was sorry to see Alex McLeish sacked.
Bannan, 22, was a bit-part player under McLeish last season as Villa toiled badly.
But he told the Scottish Sun: "It has been well documented a lot of the Villa fans were not happy with the manager.
"The circumstances in which he joined us and the fact we've not enjoyed a good season all counted against him. I have to be honest and say from my point of view Alex McLeish was terrific with me.
"That might seem a bit strange given I didn't play every week, but I couldn't say a bad word against him. Alex was knowledgeable and a nice guy to deal with.
"From the first day he came into Villa I worked hard to prove I should be in his team.
"It didn't always work out that way, but I gave it my best shot."

If you go to "tournament profiles" tab, you can enter in 2 teams and it compares them with key wins, key losses and then gives you a predicted outcome if they played at home, on the road and at a neutral site.
BTW, ISU no key losses.
It also has Indiana with no Key losses, or Wisconsin. I don't know what a key loss is if you lose to an Iowa, or a Drake and it isn't a key loss.
When Kidz C da Hilton Atmosphere N are style of play, theys gets totes inerested in iowa state

I'll take 50-50 on Baylor here.

Yeah, I don't quite understand that either. It appears to factor in location and point differential. For example, it shows Iowa's loss to Ohio State as a bad loss - I assume because they got beat by 29 points.
Originally Posted by CyBer

Took me a while to figure out the spreads, but when it shows say ISU +6 it means ISU favored to win by 6, not like Vegas point spreads where it would mean ISU getting 6.
Any site that puts Texas above ISU i will not look at
I'm the owner of the website you linked above and thanks to you guys for not completely destroying it upon first look. I agree with most of your criticisms (Texas ahead of ISU and the bad losses feature in the tournament profiles). I'll keep working to improve these features, but sadly it will probably remain that way for the rest of this season. Anyway if you have any other questions about how the site works I'd be happy to answer those and thanks again, it's very cool to see a site I built from scratch get discussed on a team board.

Whether a retailer operates iOS apps or mobile or responsive web sites, when Apple updates its mobile operating system, there always are far-reaching ramifications. Consumers on iPhones and iPads (the most valuable mobile shoppers by far) will get new features and functions, and a better mobile experience. And there's plenty retailers must do to take advantage of the new iOS to improve the shopping experience and meet Apple device owners' high expectations. RueLaLa.com was on top of Apple's last launch, iOS 8 in September 2014, and offered customers new features including deal notifications in the notification window and handoff, where an iPhone user can leave off shopping on one device and pick up where they left off on another device. You'll learn from RueLaLa's experience how to handle a new version of iOS, and what to look for in iOS 9.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: As I had expectedIn full: Suburban, yes, but this was a reasonable course if you don't mind two-laps. It had a great starting venue, but I do agree about the poor finishing arrangement. I don't enjoy weaving around departing cars. That needs to be modified for next time. My main gripe is about the mile signs, some seemed to have disappeared by the second lap. That is discouraging if you are desperately looking for them around mile 10. Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: Almost a cross-countryIn full: Well-organised and enjoyable, on a varied course which wasn't easy. The fact we were less than 70 is surprising. Maybe needs a bit more advertising. Date of review: February 9, 2014
In short: Praise all roundIn full: Enjoyable run in surprisingly good weather. There is no doubt this event is well organised; and the alternative route proved easier than the intended one. The only thing which could change is the start which is not ideal but, with chip timing being used, I doubt needing to be patient at the back is really a concern to many. Another great event from the Striders. Date of review: January 22, 2014
In short: Twist and turns aboundIn full: After last year's inaugural, I expected it to be well-organised which it certainly was. Marshalling and the crowd support were both excellent. It isn't a hilly course, as some have described it, but it does have noticeable ups and downs, especially in the stretch between miles 8 to 10 (Cuckoo Avenue to the Drayton Bridge Road railway line). The map indicated that the route would be twisty, and that proved more than true. For that reason, plus the up sections, I would not think many could claims PBs. But a very enjoyable event and, being held in London in September, it will flourish in future years, so that it will become hard to get into. The organisers deserve all the credit they are getting.Date of review: September 29, 2013
In short: Testing timesIn full: I agree with JHN that the route is beautiful - the description "calendar material" understates it - and well-marshalled by Chiltern Harriers. The varied ground added to the enjoyment, but I found two of the hills a climb too far for someone who was running at the back. Date of review: September 27, 2013
In short: Perfect cool June day ... for runningIn full: I agree with the other commentators. It's well organised right from the parking to the finish and an uplifting event which does a small club like Wargrave proud. The course is not the easiest, but a negative split one as the back half is all downward. And great weather for running this time too. Enjoyed it a lot. Back next year I hope,Date of review: June 10, 2013
In short: Better than the last timeIn full: I used to run this race when it started from the Open University site which couldn't cope with the numbers. Then, in 2010, the start was moved to Xscape which can handle the cars and people but the route was inferior. So, I decided to run elsewhere. Don't know why I was drawn back this time, but I feel it's now back to being enjoyable. The route is better - I hadn't realised that the last hill was new, but it was short anyway. Overall, the weather was not too bad but it was certainly cold, and I know not everyone likes that. I agree the 'Festival' tag is a misnomer. There are minor issues, such as chip removal, which only requires 3 or 4 people and is so appreciated after a tiring slog. but, having read the other comments, I do feel the organisers do take note of feedback. Date of review: March 16, 2013
In short: Benign conditions for tough routeIn full: This is a tough route, an uphill start with no chance to relax on any straight flats until the final part of each lap. Today, at least, the weather was kind to us and the finishing mile is a welcome one. Compared to some much bigger events, this is very well organised in every respect. It also has a very friendly atmosphere. Good value too. Well done David H and the team, I couldn't fault it.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Good to have it backIn full: I have done this a few times and enjoy it a lot. I was disappointed about the cancellation last year, but it was good to have it back this time. The hills are not as bad as Berko's but they are certainly testing, especially as they disturb the chance to get some rhythm. I do think it is well-organised and the baggage system works much better in the park than it used to in The Colosseum. I agree it needs a fourth water station, but I couldn't fault anything else. The car next to mine got a ticket. Could the organisers have a go at persuading Watford's parking powers-that-be to ease off with the rules on a February Sunday? That doesn't do Watford much good on the PR front. Date of review: February 5, 2013
In short: Wind chill hits A422In full: That was a windy run on Sunday, but otherwise good. I don't agree that the stretch on the A422 is dangerous; it depends on what you are used to, I suppose. This race is very well organised in every respect, especially the buses which take the pain away from parking you get at some events. It's a good and varied course too with a lovely finishing four miles. And another useful memento. ThanksDate of review: December 12, 2012

Unplugged dryer. Removed back panel from dryer. Using needlenose pliers, disconnected wires going into heating element housing cover. They basically just unplug. You have to wiggle them a little with the pliers to get them unplugged. The housing cover is the large metal piece on the right side of the dryer. Kind of looks like a catalytic converter from a car. Popped off housing cover by putting a large screw driver behind it and gently prying forward. The top came loose from the dryer and I then lifted it up off the two tabs holding it at the bottom. I then unscrewed the one screw holding the element to the bottom of housing cover. I slid the element out, inserted the new element, put the screw back in place and then put the housing unit back in place over the two tabs. I replugged all of the wires into the housing unit, replaced the back cover on the dryer and plugged the dryer into the wall receptacle. I turned the dryer on and it heated up right away. I have since dried several loads and it is working perfectly. By the way, I am a 65 year old housewife. If I can do it, anyone can. Mary McCarthyJacksonville, FL

The Mendhwan bridge near Kasa village on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway saw one of its worst accidents when a Gujarat-bound chemical tanker carrying polyester resin, a flammable substance, rammed into a luxury bus heading from Ahmedabad towards Mumbai.
The collision left 14 persons dead and 41 injured.
At around 7am on Wednesday the luxury bus (GJ.3.AW.9914) from Kabra Tours and Travels left from Ahmedabad with 55 passengers onboard and was on Mendhwan bridge when a Gujarat-bound tanker (MH.06.AQ.9623) rammed the bus after the driver lost control and crossed the divider. The rescue team reached the site of the accident 20 minutes after the incident and the injured and the deceased were rushed to the Sub Medical hospital at Kasa.
"The driver of the tanker was at fault as he lost control and rammed into the on-coming bus and it had spilled its flammable cargo so we have closed the movement of vehicles on the bridge and started the rescue operation while the traffic was normal due to the below roads were open," said Prashant Mohite, Superintendent of Police, Highway Traffic, Thane Region.
We have brought one fire engine to cool down the liquid substance in order to reduce the damage as it could lead to major disaster. Our personnel doused the minor fire which engulfed the site after the accident, said RG Brahmankar, fire officer, MIDC Tarapur.
The driver of the tanker and the bus are yet to be recognised while the cleaner of the tanker, Pramod Yadav, has been admitted to Bhagwati Hospital with severe injuries, said Bharat Chaudhari, assistant police inspector, Kasa Police Station.
We are yet to register the case against the driver of the chemical tanker as we have to first identify the deceased and handover the dead bodies to the family, said Chaudhari.

But wasn't that exactly the reason the Americans won the original cup? They put the money and strategy into the boat. And it beat the immensely talented traditional English crews of that day. From the very prescient Wired article on the Oracle crash...
The origin myth involves Queen Victoria watching a winner-take-all race around the Isle of Wight between a Yankee schooner named the America and 14 of the best boats in Britain — including the cream of the elite Royal Yacht Squadron. When a lookout spied the America coming toward the finish line in first place, the Queen asked who was in second. The answer: "Ah, Your Majesty, there is no second."
The America won because its owners experimented with novel nautical technologies and spared no expense in building it (some things never change). In the 19th century, a ship in private hands that could beat the best that the British had to offer was something extraordinary — an example of private money rivaling the power of a great nation. The Cup has been a totem to tycoons ever since.

This live wallpaper is OpenGL based. This means that animations and graphics will flow much smoother than if it was using the CPU. It also means that the phone's CPU is not working, giving much less impact on overall phone performance. The wallpaper is only active when visible, so battery consumption is very insignificant.

I really love this wallpaper. I think that there could be more to it. Give the option of either rain clouds over the poppies, water poppies and grow poppies. So what happends everyday you water the poppies and it grows like real live poppies.

Very nice and well made with plenty of options. Loses a star as the gps seems too aggressive and can be a big battery drainer. I've disabled the gps for now but hopefully you can add a more relaxed form in future. Oh and I agree with a previous comment; we need bees!

Lovely Condo in a Great Location
We are happy that you had a wonderful time with us in Sombras and that you enjoyed your stay in this beautiful area! Comments are always welcome as we can improve ourselves. Seems like everything was Pura Vida! Thanks to you for taking good care of the condo as if it was your own. Mélissa & Paul

With my sincere appreciation, Melissa
Great Time In Playa Del Coco
Many thanks for this constructive and straightforward review. It appears there are a few minor but nonetheless important things we need to re-discuss with our property managers Sonia and Hedson on site at Sombras. However allow me to comment on:
1. wire transfer charge at receiving bank in CR, for which we had informed you by email prior to you making such wire..there is always a charge applied by the receiving bank..in this case around $12 it seems. I would say a pleasant figure, considering your long-time trusted canadian bank taxed your account for $30.
2. Soaps and paper..it is the first time our property managers neglect this item..next time, if such a rare occurence manifests itself again, please advise them immediatly and they will send the maid over in an instant to supply these basic commodites - sorry this happened, I will call them today to make sure it was a one-time omission only.
3. Thank you for letting us know about the pillows, we will at the same time ask Hedson and Sonia to replace them - which they would gladly have done if you had requested of them at the time.
As for the whole of your review, again thank you, and very happy that your stay proved to be mostly a pleasant and comfortable experience. This is Costa Rica, not America..perfection is all around you in CR..and in a strange manner slowly makes its way to your soul, spirit and body.
Once again apologies for the pillows, and thank you for staying with us.
Sincerely, Paul
p.s..sorry again, forgot one item that you desired to be addressed..the ice makers. Well yes they are manual, 2 plastic molded gadgets in the freezer compartment that we had to bring from Canada because we could not find them in CR..the good old reliable manual type..finding a reliable automatic ice-making fridge in CR is a major challenge!
Fabulous Time at Sombras!
It was a great pleasure to help you & assist you during your stay with us in Sombras.
It does feel like home even though you are in vacation !
We are both very happy that you had a great time with us in Coco.
All our best wishes.
Paul & Mélissa

Bossman ft. Ruscola - You Already Know
Artist: Travis Davon (aka Bossman)
Producer: One Up Ent
Album: The Re-Up
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 17 votes )
Shuggie Otis' Strawberry Letter 23 is one of those songs that urban music can't seem to get enough of – everyone from Dr. Dre to Beyoncé to Color Me Badd has taken inspiration from the record (or the Brothers Johnson's more popular cover version) at one point or another. On his latest single, You Already Know Booth veteran Bossman becomes the latest in a long line of artists to put their own spin on the classic cut. One Up Ent. flips that unmistakable bell intro into a sweeping, street-anthemic hip-hop beat as the Baltimore rapper fills us in on what he's all about, spitting about his paper chase and his hopes for the Obama presidency. Singer Ruscola does double-duty, contributing an exultant hook as well as providing a little moral support on the bridge: "All these lames in the game make it hard/ Get your paper, take heed and stay smart." Bossman's debut full-length, The Re-Up, is scheduled to drop sometime in 2010; in the meantime, watch out for his new The Tester mixtape, set to hit the 'net "soon."

Latest Etosha National Park Stories
Naturalist Journeys, a top nature and birding tour company, announces a new tour, Namibia Sampler: Wildlife, Birding, and Spectacular Scenery, running September 13 - 25, 2014.
A new study based on data from the Cassini spacecraft suggests that a lake on one of Saturn's moons behaves similarly to the Etosha salt pan on Earth.
Are fires more important than rain for the savannah ecosystem?
By Ray Boren For the Deseret News VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe -- I hoped -- in fact expected -- during a journey with friends to southern Africa to see the "big five" from a distance: elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards and lions.
Latest Etosha National Park Reference Libraries
The Angolan slender mongoose (Galerella flavescens) is native to southern Africa, specifically in Namibia and Angola. It prefers a habitat within arid savannahs in Namibia, preferring areas with little vegetation, but its preferred habitat in Angola is unknown. It is thought that population numbers are high within its range, although little is known about the species' habits. This species is slender in appearance and has 38 teeth. These teeth grow in at about twenty-four weeks of age. Young...

Hopper Happy to Work With Kingsley
Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper said he was thrilled to share scenes with Ben Kingsley in their new film, "Elegy."
"He's the most generous actor I've ever worked with," Hopper told UPI in New York recently.
"(There was a scene where) Sir Ben is cooking me spaghetti and making spaghetti sauce and serving it to me and rather than having the prop man bring the al dente pasta and the sauce and so on, he actually prepared it in front of me. It was unbelievable," Hopper recalled. "I was like: 'Wow, man! I've never seen this in my 54 years in the business.' Never had I seen anyone actually do that and doing the lines and serving the stuff. He's wonderful. He's just terrific and it's so great to be with an actor who's so honest; that when you are working with him in a moment-to-moment reality situation, that if you go here, he'll go with you. … I had a great time."
Hopper said he had no problem addressing the British actor by his title of "Sir."
"He's 'Sir Ben' to me," Hopper said. "Everyone calls him Sir Ben. You're told to call him Sir Ben and it's a pleasure to call him Sir Ben."
Co-starring Penelope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson, "Elegy" is in theaters now.
