|50 More Crocheted Afghan Borders - Crochet Pattern by Leisure Arts
Like the frosting on the cupcake, or the tiara on the bride, a beautiful border is the finishing touch for a lovingly created afghan, whether knitted or crocheted. Borders can be elegant or whimsical, can match or contrast with the afghan, and can lift even the simplest afghan from "ordinary" into the "very special" category. If you usually depend upon fringe as an accent, you'll have fun experimenting with these 50 crochet borders by Jean Leinhauser. The borders can be worked with any weight of yarn that works well with the body of the afghan. For some designs, the number of colors used in a border also can be varied. General instructions are included for how to use the borders, work with stitch pattern multiples, and estimate yarn amounts.

Dissatisfaction on Tyneside means there could be plenty of upheaval at Newcastle before the season is out
Newcastle lost 19 league matches last season, more than any other season since 1991/2 when they were in the old Second Division. Expectations were high after their fifth place finish in 2012 but there's been precious little to cheer about at St James' Park this year. A 10th place finish simply isn't good enough and Toon fans will expect to see their side challenge for European football next season.

BOOKS ROUNDUP: A poet's view of the Bull City
Durham figures prominently in UNC professor Tony Reevy's new collection of poems, "Old North" (Iris Press, $14). Reevy groups this collection of poems about North Carolina under the standard geographical locations of mountains, Piedmont and coast. He gives Durham a special section, titled "Tobacco Town/Tobacco County." Reevy's poems pay homage to the Eno River, Blind Boy Fuller, and other Bull City sites and historical figures.
Given recent developments with Liberty Warehouse, his description of Liberty Café is all the more poignant: "I peer / through the window / under a forever-dark neon sign."
Here are some other recent releases and scheduled readings:
-- Which hurricanes that have hit this state were the most deadly, or the most storied? To answer that question, pick up the fourth edition of Jay Barnes' "North Carolina's Hurricane History" (University of North Carolina Press, $35, cloth). Barnes has updated this guide to include more recent storms, including Sandy in 2012.
Barnes begins with "A Hurricane Primer," a brief lesson in the fundamentals of these storms, then discusses some of the major storms that have hit North Carolina since 1524. Each hurricane cited includes a small map of the storm's track, along with descriptions of the damage, interesting stories from the storm, and plenty of photographs. This is a wonderful work of geography, history, and – for those who lived through some of these storms – maybe even a bit of nostalgia.
-- In the introduction of his novel "The Bookman's Tale: A Novel of Obsession" (Viking, $27.95), Charlie Lovett writes of "that familiar scent of cloth and leather and dust and words." Peter Byerly, an antiquarian bookseller, visits a bookstore in Wales and finds a painted portrait in an old book that strikingly resembles his wife, who has died and whom Byerly is grieving. The novel chronicles Byerly's attempt to learn of the origins of the painting.
Lovett, a former antiquarian book seller himself, will sign copies of "The Bookman's Tale" at 7 p.m. June 20 at The Regulator Bookshop in Durham, and at 2 p.m. June 22 at McIntyre's Books in Pittsboro.
-- From 1952-1987, Janet Groth was the 18th-floor receptionist at The New Yorker, a time when she worked closely with poet John Berryman, Truman Capote, and many other writers who worked at the magazine. Groth, now a retired professor of English, wrote about her experiences at the magazine in "The Receptionist: An Education at The New Yorker." Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill has just released the paperback edition of "The Receptionist" ($14.95).
Algonquin also has reissued chef and food writer Marlena de Blasi's memoir "A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance," in paperback ($14.95).

I admit that my limited knowledge on Shanghainese food does not make me a creditable person to write about this topic. But my unparalleled fascination with this cuisine makes it irresistible to not offer my 2 cents. From the drunken chicken to the stinky tofu to the more popular juicy soup dumplings, my every trip to a local Shanghainese restaurant has been a discovery of more exciting dishes.
To define Shanghaiese food is no easy task. This newly established cuisine (relatively speaking) was in fact born out of the influences of multiple surrounding cuisines. Through years of refinement, today's Shanghai cuisine is known for its sweet, sour, and winy taste profile. Being a stubborn spicy food eater, I was pretty suprised by the fact that I am happy with most of the Shanghainese dishes I have sample so far.
I only started to cook Shanghainese food recently, mainly on the simple homemade dishes so far. This stir fried Rice Cake is one of them. Rice cake is no delicacy but it's one of the dishes I have ordered repeated from different restaurants. The rice cake is prepared in dozen ways at each restaurant and they are all super tasty. Out of all the variations I especially like the dish that uses pickled mustard green, which adds some salty and sour flavors to balance out rice cake's blandness.
This recipe was from a Chinese Cooking show I came across a while ago. I added some fresh soybeans (edamame) as an experiment and it worked out great. For a different style, you can substitute pickled mustard green with napa, broccoli, or vegetables of your choice. Also you can add seafood or eliminate meat to make it vegetarian. Some variations also use soy sauce as seasoning.
Shanghai-Style Rice Cake w. Pickled Mustard Green- Ingredients
16 oz Rice cake, sliced
4 oz Pork, shredded and marinade.
3 tbsp Perseved mustard green
2 tbsp Soybeans(edamame), precooked (optional)
1 tbsp Ginger, chopped
1/2 cup stock or water
½ tsp Ground hite pepper
½ tsp sesame oil
Shanghai-Style Rice Cake w. Pickled Mustard Green – Step By Step
1.Cut and marinate the pork. This step can be done in advance.
2.Over medium heat, stir fry your pork with 1 tbsp of oil. Take it out as soon as the pork turns white.
3.This step is to soften the rice cake to make it easier to stir fry. You can either blanche it in boiling water for about 2 minutes or soak in hot water for 2.5 mins until the rice cake starts to turn soft. drain out the water and keep the rice cake in a strainer. Try to avoid blanching or soaking the rice cake for too long. If it's too soft it will be sticky and hard to stir fry.
4.In a skillet or pan, add 1 tbsp of oil, ginger, pickled mustard green, and soybeans. Stir fry until aroma arise. About 2 minutes.
5.Add the stock or water to the cooking ingredients. Stir to mix. Bring it to boil.
6.Add blanched rice cake and pre-cooked pork. Saute until incorporated. The liquid will reduce as the rice cake gets softer. Add white pepper powder, salt, a few drops of sesame oil to season.
What's your favorite rice cake dish?

Storage Solutions: My New Favorite & Compartmentalizing
Our Clear Storage Boxes ($1.79 to $19.99) Basically, my storage system has completely switched over to using The Container Store's clear plastic bins. Although I've probably spent over $100, I have so many bins and containers to keep things organized. I use their accessory bin (smallest size) for lipsticks and lipglosses, as well as for "brand boxes" – like a box for all my Dior products (because I don't have that much). The shoe boxes make great storage for things like all your self-tanners or your zillions of random glosses. I only go up to the sweater box (not the super large one), and I find it is pretty good at storing anything I need that doesn't fit elsewhere.
Compartmentalize your life with this storage beauty!
13-1/8″ x 9″ Clear 6-Compartment Box ($13.99) As you can see, brushes fit pretty easily in these! But these can also be great for other miscellaneous makeup products. The Container Store has several different sizes and configurations available, too!

I agree the analogy isn't perfect, after all they never are. But, I must say getting up at 4AM to get some fish isn't even close to worth it to me. It wouldn't be worth it even if fish cost three times as much as it does. Then again I don't care for fish at all...
The point was really simply that most hams don't so much do it for utilitarian reasons. Rather, it's like all hobbies in that there's fun and satisfaction to be had in accomplishing things that take learning, practice and skill.
With that said, there are still times and situations where ham radio as a communications technology has its place. In emergencies and remote areas, ham radio will work for communication when cell phones, etc. don't.

With the internet, and cell phones, and all; what is the HAM radio attraction?
People ask me this all the time. Ham radio is a big hobby with lots of areas to be explored, it's not simply about communicating. Some people are interested in building their own gear, some in preparing for emergencies, some in public service (communications for marathons, parades, etc). Some people are paper chasers, working to earn awards for contacting stations in as many different countries as possible, others like to operate in ham radio contests (like this one: http://www.cqww.com/). Some hams even bounce signals off the moon, using it as a giant reflector satellite.
When people ask me why I like ham radio when I could just call someone on my cell phone, I like to compare it to fishing or hunting or any number of other hobbies. After all I can just buy fish to eat at the store. Fishing strictly as a means to obtain fish probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's not why people do it. Likewise, strictly communicating with other people isn't really why people do ham radio. There's a lot to learn in ham radio, and it can be a really fun, satisfying hobby.

Well, she is an automatic magnet to joining me on the table when she hears the pool balls, and even though I never allowed my other cats to be on the table, I have relented with this one. I decided today to practice jump shots, over the cat for fun, and it is a lot of fun! As soon as I get a video system set up, I'll post. I find myself saying, "Jump the entire cat laying on the simonas, and whammo! there goes the jump! I also shoot on-table shots caroming off of it's tail for fun, or soft 3C shots back to a resting OB left on the cat from another shot, just to see the results. I couldn't run her off the table anyway without being really strong voiced, which, if you know this breed, hurts their feelings, and this breed is emotionally sensitive too. I almost never find the cat on the table when I am not playing, so I call it just dam fun to live with it ;-) sid

Thursday, October 28, 2010
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has officially killed a plan to build a commuter train tunnel to Manhattan—the nation's large infrastructure project—saying his strapped state should not foot the bill for a project that promises billion-dollar overruns.
"I cannot place, upon the citizens of the state of New Jersey, an open-ended letter of credit," Christie said in his announcement Wednesday (Oct. 27).
Proposal and Reprieve
Known as Access to the Region's Core, or ARC, the nine-mile Hudson River tunnel from North Bergen to Manhattan was supposed to have doubled train capacity along that corridor when it was completed in 2018.
The plan was proposed by then-Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, in June 2009. Critics said the plan was intended to boost Corzine's bid for re-election.
Christie, a Republican who was elected in November 2009, said Wednesday that he had "relied upon the Corzine Administration's representations about this project" and had supported it at the time. He said he still considered the project worthwhile, but "one that we simply cannot afford."
Christie announced Oct. 7 that he would scrap the project, but U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asked for a reprieve while a working group re-examined the project's costs.
Predicted Overruns
Christie ended the reprieve for good on Wednesday, saying that his advisers were now projecting overruns of $2.3 billion to $5.3 billion beyond the price tag that various authorities have estimated at anywhere from $8.7 billion to more than $12 billion.
Federal DOT had pledged $3 billion to the project, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had promised "up to" $3 billion.
The rest of the cost would have fallen solely on the shoulders of Garden State residents—a financial burden that Christie said would leave New Jersey unable to pursue many other projects.
Options Rejected
In his 20+-minute statement, Christie said he had considered and dismissed several options for the plan.
Scaling down the project would reduce its value to transit users while not significantly cutting its cost, he said. And financing the project through the Federal Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing loan program "is just another way of issuing debt" that would take longer—and thus cost more—to repay.
"Regardless of the terms that would be offered, in the end the taxpayers of New Jersey would be on the hook for every nickel of the cost overruns," the governor said.
A public-private partnership—a third option—would not change "the cost or the technical risk" of the project. "You bring a partner in—we are still, the State of New Jersey and its citizens, going to have to pay for the cost of it," he said.
Critics had also found fault with the tunnel route, saying the station below 34th Street should be tied in more closely to Penn Station. But, again, Christie said, developing a new route would not diminish the cost of the project, which has already consumed about $600 million for planning and design.
No 'Blank Check'
Given the future funding assurances that the state would have to provide, Christie said, "what the proponents of this plan are asking me to do, on behalf of citizens of this state, is to hand them over a blank check. I simply will not do that to the people of the State of New Jersey."
"This is how we got ourselves into the third-highest debt load in America," he said "This is how we got ourselves in to the awful fiscal mess that we're in, and often during the campaign, I would say that if I were elected, I would make the hard decisions that were necessary in order to return our state to fiscal health."
His decision did not make him happy, Christie said, "but I do this with an absolute sense of resolve and commitment to the promises that I made to the people of the state and what I believe is responsible conduct of the chief executive of the state."
He said his administration had already begun the process of shutting down the project.
"There is no opportunity for reconsideration of this decision on my part," he added. "I am done. We are moving on."
Comment from Michael Pasquarella, (10/29/2010, 7:10 AM)
Governor Christie you made the right decision on this matter, thank you for your courage and commitment on behalf of the people of New Jersey.
Your right, it is time to move onto fiscal responsiblity, if each state did what you have done they would not have the deficits they currently have.
It is time to move on...
Comment from Eric Swanson, (10/29/2010, 8:42 AM)
Wow... what if we had a President that said NO once in awhile? Good for you. If you don't have the money to pay for something... maybe you are spending beyond your means!
Comment from michael kronz, (10/29/2010, 11:30 AM)
Just a thought,.would this announcement have waited until Wednesday? While I'm all for fiscal responsibility, this project is sorely needed in the region. Not to mention the thousands of jobs that would be created.
We spend 3 billion a week in Iraq and Afghanistan on top of the 3 trillion spent. What's wrong with this picture?
Comment from Joe Haydu, (10/31/2010, 7:37 PM)
How much of a bargain was it to nix the Hudson Tunnel? Over $600 million already spent, $47 million in land acquisitions, months of additional construction, at taxpayer's expense, to undo the work already completed to restore the land back to its original state, not to mention the $3 billion that New Jersey is losing in Federal funds. Add in the tens of thousands of lost jobs that would have been created from this project, not to mention the hundreds of jobs lost by construction and design teams already employed on this project. Sooner or later this type of project will need to be done/ How much will it cost then?

Tuesday's wild card matchup preview
Sep 27, 2011, 1:13 AM EDT
With the AL wild card all knotted up and still just one game separating the Braves and Cardinals in the NL, here's what we have to look forward to on Tuesday night.
AL wild card
Boston – Erik Bedard (5-9, 3.50 ERA)
Baltimore – Zach Britton (11-10, 4.44 ERA)
New York – Bartolo Colon (8-10, 4.02 ERA)
Tampa Bay – Jeremy Hellickson (13-10, 2.90 ERA)
The Red Sox and Rays are all tied after Boston lost 6-3 and Tampa Bay won 5-2 tonight.
Bedard makes his second start since returning from knee and hip problems; he allowed four runs — one earned — in 2 2/3 innings against Baltimore last week. The Red Sox get to face a rookie they've handled very well so far; Britton is 1-1 with a 10.80 ERA and a 3/4 K/BB ratio in 6 2/3 innings in his two starts against the club. He has a 5.14 ERA in five September starts.
The Rays also have a favorable matchup, it would seem. Colon is winless since July and has a 6.64 ERA in four starts this month. He's also 0-3 with a 6.60 ERA in three starts against Baltimore this year. Hellickson has a 2.28 ERA this month and a 2.50 ERA since the All-Star break. Plus, he faced the Yankees last week and allowed two runs and two hits in seven innings.
NL wild card
Philadelphia – Roy Oswalt (8-10, 3.86 ERA)
Atlanta – Derek Lowe (9-16, 4.92 ERA)
St. Louis – Jake Westbrook (12-9, 4.48 ERA)
Houston – Henry Sosa (3-5, 4.68 ERA)
Ideally, the Braves would wrap this one up Tuesday so that they wouldn't have to send ace Tim Hudson to the mound on Wednesday. For it to happen, Lowe will have to snap a skid that has seen him lose four straight. His quality start last week against the Marlins (3 ER in 6 1/3 IP) was his first since Aug. 31. Oswalt was shaky in his last start, giving up six runs in 7 2/3 innings against the Nationals. He'll likely only throw five or six innings in this one. Oswalt is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two starts against the Braves this year, while Lowe is 1-3 with a 4.13 ERA in four starts versus the Phillies.
Of course, with a one-game lead, the Braves would need a win and a Cardinals loss to clinch. Westbrook will have something to say about that. He's beaten the Astros both times he's faced them this year, and he has a 2.61 ERA in four starts this month. Sosa will be making his first start against St. Louis since debuting last month. A product of the Jeff Keppinger deal, he's turned in quality starts five of his last six times out. However, he's also given up five homers in his last three starts.

- Ick McWang - Sep 27, 2011 at 1:47 AM
and on top of that, most of his losses came with 3 runs or less scored against….with the yankees or red sox offense, he's a 20 game winner as a rookie.

Matthew, what happens if the Rays and Red Sox finish tied. Playoff game where? I think the Rays are 12-6 v. Boston this year. Does that give them the playoff game in Tampa?
- kopy - Sep 27, 2011 at 11:00 AM
If what you are saying is true, that the Rays have a winning record against the Red Sox, then yes.
You can thank the Minnesota Twins for that. In 2008 they played Game 163 in Chicago, even though they had a winning record on the season against the White Sox, because they lost a coin flip. That was the rule at the time for deciding home field advantage of a one game playoff, and they rightfully complained. The rule was changed next year, and against all probability the Twins were the immediate benefactors of the rule change when they finished with the same record as Detroit in the regular season and then hosted Game 163 in the dome because they had a winning record against the Tigers that year.
- florida727 - Sep 27, 2011 at 11:40 AM
Thanks "kopy". Appreciate the knowledge. I thought that made sense, which of course I assumed also meant I would be wrong Should be an interesting couple of days…
- hittfamily - Sep 27, 2011 at 11:48 AM
This is really incredible that the Rays are still in this. With the exception of Longo overtaking Youk (although Youk was the All-Star), and the Sox moving Zobrist to right, the Rays do not have a single player that would start on either team. They have Kyle Farnsworth as the closer, and have started 3 rookie pitchers.
Maddon has managed his pitching staff extremely well, making a terrible bullpen seem respectable by allowing his starters to pitch their maximum number of pitchers before removing them. His catcher and SS both have sub .200 averages, but he pulls the strings at the right times. Maddon is coach of the year, and second place is far behind.
- hackerjay - Sep 27, 2011 at 12:07 PM
I think at this point the Sox would gladly trade starting rotations, and in a 100 fewer games Desmond Jennings has already been significantly more useful then Crawford, giving the Rays three solid outfielders where the Sox only have one.
- hittfamily - Sep 27, 2011 at 1:05 PM
Of course they would gladly trade rotations. However, Beckett and Lester are better than Niemann and Davis. Farnesworth, the Rays closer, would not even be the setup man on either the Yanks or Sox. Jennings has been great, but Crawford's salary keeps Desmond on the bench. So by my count, the Rays have 3 better pitchers than the Sox, and that is the only place where they have an advantage.
I was just making an observation how much weaker the Rays players are,not areguing what makes them successful.
- foreverchipper10 - Sep 27, 2011 at 12:12 PM
Just another night of sweating these games out.
- housebroken dad - Sep 27, 2011 at 4:32 PM
What would be the pitching matchup if Rays and Sox meet for #163 – would it be Lackey vs Davis? Oh boy…

Gear Question
sheryl caruana
can I purchase just the replacement lense...
can I purchase just the replacement lense in M frame strike photchromatic? I have many M frames, and just want the photchromatic replacement lense in strike. please advise.
Debbie C
Oakley does sell replacement lenses...but they won't sell just frames-only...
I have a pair of Radars* and 2 different lenses, but changing lenses if difficult and I am afraid of possible breaking the frame; so I inquired to see if I could just purchase another frame (for my extra lens), and they do not offer this. IF your frame is defective, and you can prove it, then that would fall under the warranty...just a F.Y.I.
But, you can purchase additional lenses directly from OAKLEY.COM

The super fine particulate from the cells will leave a grease-like ring. This particulate would infuse in to soft plastic tubs or the dishwasher. The molded fiberglass surface is hard but smooth and impervious to the super fine particulate.
PLEASE NOTE that the wash tub is manufactured to order and ships directly from the factory. There may be a delay of up to a week before shipping.
Inside bottom dimensions are 20½ x 15".
Inside depth is 14 inches.
Both cells and prefilters fit in this tub for the following models:
When cleaning the prefilter be careful not to flatten down the woven foil. The aluminum weave can be easily flattened with water pressure or when cleaning with a brush. Soaking the prefilters in a tub is recommended.
See your owner's manual for washing instructions.
Honeywell recommends wiping down the ionizing wires when washing the collector cells. Also check the wires for roughness, a side effect of the corona discharge is the growth of a white quartz layer.
Air near the high-voltage ionizer wires breaks down in to ions and high energy electrons. This mixture of ions and electrons is called the corona plasma. The ions collide with suspended particulate and confer the charge.
The plasma has an unintended reaction with cyclomethicone, a silicone oil present in household products such as deodorant sprays and skin lotions. This reaction leaves deposits of solid silicon dioxide on the ionizing wires. These insulating formations will significantly suppress the corona pattern and intensity.
Research has shown cleaning the wires with 600 grit emery cloth will remove the silicon dioxide. But at the risk of damaging the wire surface or breaking the wire.
Aprilaire #412 RP Super Filter Coat increases efficiency and dust holding capacity of aluminum prefilters used in electronic air cleaners.
The Super Coat adhesive have a unique viscosity oil in a gel-like straucture. This viscosity oil constantly absorbs dirt particles. As particles are trapped, they recede into the interior of the adhesive, and throught the circulation of the low viscosity oil as renewed impurity absorbing surface is established. This action provides a continuous impurity absorbing surface layer.
The aluminum mesh prefilters will maintain their initial efficiency with periodic applications of RP Super Filter Coat after cleaning. After a period of use of the prefilter, dirt, lint and the original water soluble adhesive coating are easily removed by simply flushing the filter in a stream of water. A new, easily-applied coating of RP Super Filter Coat can restores the filter's superior performance qualities.

A Love of Reading is Key to Success for Boys says Pam Withers, author of 'Jump-Starting Boys: Help Your Reluctant Learner Find Success in School and Life'
Wednesday, July 17th, 2013
This new book, Jump-Starting Boys: Help Your Reluctant Learner Find Success in School and Life is blowing me away. My little boy who is going into first grade doesn't want to read. If we don't encourage him to love it now, we're setting him up for a difficult academic career. Wow. Just wow. I asked author Pam Withers to tell me more. Read her brilliant tips below–you can start doing them with your boy right now.
KK: What are the main concerns about today's boys?
PW: The gender literacy gap (in girls' favor) is growing worldwide. Some 40 percent of boys are reluctant readers, which leads them to become underachievers in general.
KK: How have issues for boys changed?
PW: Boys are slipping in reading ability at a time when reading ability has skyrocketed in importance for long-term success in life.
KK: How can we prepare our little boys to be happy and successful?
PW: 1. Read with or to him for at least 15 minutes per day. This can more than triple his reading improvement each month.
2. Let him fidget while you read; it can actually help with his focus: LEGOs, play dough, art, acting out the book and even jumping on a trampoline.
3. If there are three or more words per page that he doesn't understand, trade the book in for an easier reader.
4. Let him hold the book and turn the pages.
5. Limit screen time (none for under age 2, two hours daily maximum after that); let him "earn" extra screen time by reading.
6. Hire a neighborhood boy to read to him. With just 15 hours of reading-buddy contact, one group gained the equivalent of 2 1/2 years in reading abilities.
7. Keep reading to him even after he can read by himself.
8. Pre-select books that might interest him (esp. with male protagonists), place them in a basket and let him choose.
9. Create "whisper phones" from plastic piping in hardware stores, and read to your son with your lips at one end of the tube and his ear at the other.
10. Watching shows with captions on the screen (e.g. Manga cartoons) can improve reading skills.
11. Avoid comparing one sibling to another for reading skills; it encourages put-downs when you're not around.
12. Try taping your son as he reads at the beginning of the school year, and then again near the end of the school year. He'll hear his improvement and feel a surge of confidence and initiative to continue improving.
13. Studies show that children who are positively reinforced for their effort do better than children who are told they are talented.
KK: Are there any pitfalls we should avoid?
PW: Women underestimate the role-model factor in encouraging their sons' reading. Moms need to ensure that dads or other males read to their sons. Also, if you keep throwing books at him that are too difficult, you'll lose him.
KK: What is the overall message of your book?
PW: The most important predictor of academic success is the amount of time children spend reading books (even more important than economic or social status). A negative association with reading leads to a negative attitude towards learning, classroom and teachers and lower academic self-confidence (which starts him down a slippery slope).
Remember that your goal is not to push a certain type or amount of reading; it's to get him comfortable with reading; you want him to associate reading with pleasurAdd a Comment

We have been addressing securing a WordPress installation from many angles. Our goal is to cut off as many possibilities as possible for hackers to gain access to your sites files.
Conceal WordPress Version
Hackers will try to glean any information that is displayed anywhere on your site to discover some weakness. That includes the version of your WordPress itself. Believe it or not, this can give the hacker plenty of information about how to go about hitting your site. So you had best conceal it. You can use a plugin to achieve the complete removal or you could do it by hand in the functions.php of your theme:
complete_version_removal() {
add_filter('the_generator', 'complete_version_removal');
Enforce SSL Login
Prevent the dreaded man-in-the-middle attacks by enforcing SSL communication either for logins only or for the entire admin area as well. To accomplish this you will have to have a dedicated IP for your domain and an SSL certificate set up on it. If you create a self-signed certificate your visitors will receive a warning from their browsers that the certificate was not issued by a recognized authority and that it may not represent a trustworthy connection. You must judge whether this will offend your visitors or if you will have to cave in and buy an SSL certificate.
Once the dedicated IP is assigned, the DNS propagation has run its course, and you have SSL installed, place this in your wp-config.php file:
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
Control Bots and Crawlers On Directories
Google and other bots crawl your entire site unless you tell it to avoid certain areas. If Google indexes all of your directories then it reveals these to hackers all over the world through Google's search engine. So you could put in directions in a robot.txt file to tell the bots what to avoid indexing. The biggest drawback with this is that a hacker can also read the robot.txt and learn which directories are most important to you and, therefore, most product for hacking. If you have a standard WordPress installation, then this is nothing to worry about. Hackers will know by default which directories are most important to attack. You must employ all the other methods we have already given in all parts of this series.
In the root of your site, you should put a robot.txt file there, if one does not already exist. Inside you should add:
User-agnet: *
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-content/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /xmlrpc.php
Disallow: /wp-
More .htaccess Seecurity
There are a few more steps to securing your site through the .htaccess file in your root. This is the same file we modified to secure wp-config.php. Now we will protect .htaccess itself, which is typically done by Apache's config by default. We want to make sure it is enforced, so we add it here. Also we will turn off the server's signature and place a limitation of 20M on the size of files that can be uploaded.
<files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
ServerSignature Off
LimitRequestBody 20480000
Eliminate Unnecessary Files
Prune your WordPress installation by hand, deleting all unnecessary files. These permit fingerprinting and sometimes reveal version info. It is best to eradicate them completely. Almost everything comes with a readme.txt or readme.html. WordPress does and all plugins and themes do as well. Just go through and delete these. It will plug up a security hole.
The Final Word
With this step we have gotten all of the basic and intermediate methods for securing a WordPress site completed. Our next entry in this series is an advanced article. Now you can consider your WordPress ready for e-commerce. However, if you want to make sure that hackers are stopped from more advanced hacking techniques, then continue to the next article installation in this series. Finish the job off and rest at night.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
LAKE CITY — Internationally known artist, television art instructor and author Norma Jean Poulos passed away recently at 83, Lake City Mayor Willie Oswalt announced last week.
Over the course of her career, Poulos instructed more than a thousand Georgia students in her studio, including many who were Clayton County residents. Additionally, she made personal appearances throughout the country, teaching an untold number of students in special seminars and was a frequent featured speaker at national conventions.
Internationally, she gained note with an in-depth art instruction program which transcended language barriers. Her style became hugely popular both in the U.S. and overseas. There are many "Norma Poulos" teachers in Korea and countless "Norma Poulos" students as far away as Zimbabwe.
Her studio of more than 35 years was located in Forest Park, where she maintained a heavy schedule and taught classes through the first week of June.
As a television artist for more than 30 years, Poulos had the distinction of winning "Third Most Popular TV Artist" and "Second Most Popular TV Artist" in the U.S. during two consecutive years. She still appears on some cable stations.
Television artist Bob Ross personally commissioned her to film an instructional series, which he marketed to public schools throughout the country as a supplement to their art departments.
She also authored nine books.
She was a founding member of Artists United, a national artist's organization, and she helped found the Clayton Art Alliance.
Poulos believed that each painting told a story. With her paints, her palette and years of hard work, she became a gifted storyteller and a brilliant teacher. She will be missed by her many students here and overseas, and lovingly remembered for her immense contribution to the art world, said Oswalt.

A Beautiful Brand
The post-coupon concept
A leading provider of consumer rebates had a killer idea: an interactive savings advocate that would connect consumers online to exclusive, personally relevant offers from top quality merchants.
But would the concept fly?
While the firm's operational expertise and extensive merchant relationships were unique in the consumer incentives space, the social commerce space was cluttered. The company needed a way to differentiate its new venture from hundreds of copycat Groupons and Living Socials. To succeed, they needed to make a splash, grabbing attention with a catchy name and visual identity, and then building loyalty with a truly differentiated offering.
A brand based on surprise and delight
The Siegel+Gale team began with an immersion in the fast-growing social commerce market—including a broad competitive audit of social commerce brands, a review of current research on the effectiveness of social commerce campaigns and in-depth interviews with merchants who had experience in online "flash sales" and "deal of the day" promotions.
We learned that, under the flurry of excitement around fast-moving deals, both consumers and retailers felt let down: consumers were being inundated with deals they didn't want, and retailers weren't getting the support they needed to run successful promotional campaigns. These insights revealed the clear space to position a new brand—one based on the feeling of delight that consumers have when they find especially appealing deals in unexpected places.
We bestowed the action-oriented name "Beget" to represent the service's ongoing generation of targeted offers, and we combined vibrant letterforms in a logo design that evokes both retail signage and marquee events. In total, the Beget brand is all about matching deals—and plenty of them—to consumers' individual tastes or desires.
Don't discount the power of discounts
The Beget brand was put to immediate use to launch the beta site and generate awareness with a nationwide online advertising campaign. Its next task: to beget a coterie of satisfied, loyal users.Download PDF

I use the winr combo a lot to run commands and open paths. How can I increase the "buffer" of that selection box, or provide a longer history to select through? Is there a third party replacement that will hijack that same winr command so I can do this through some other mechanism?

CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WTVR) — A Chesterfield family's has been living a nightmare since the Army notified them earlier this week their soldier son had been killed in combat.
Days later, on the anniversary of D-Day, faculty and students from Kyle Stoekli's old elementary school delivered some unforgettable support.
Little voices carried a big, heartfelt message for a mother and the rest of the Stoeckli family mourning the loss of their soldier.
"There's a lot of sadness and pain inside," said Sonja Stoekli. "But I'm honored he made such an impression."
Construction paper flags Woolridge Elementary School students had made in Stoeckli's honor were hanging from trees, while Old Glory flapped in the wind at half-staff.
The song and short stories from those who taught him were therapeutic for those grieving the tremendous loss.
"It brought back wonderful memories when he went to school here," said Stoekli. "He was always such a great kid. He made a big impression on everybody."
Kyle was killed in Afghanistan Saturday, according to the Department of Defense. Officials say his unit was attacked by an improvised explosive device. His first lieutenant recently wrote that Specialist Stoeckli 's optimistic personality spread through his platoon like a virus.
"He went above and beyond at everything he would do," said his mother.
On a day when our country remembered the dying generation of World War II veterans, in Chesterfield County the name of a warrior on terror was temporarily on the school marquee. It's a name that will never fade away for anyone who knew the soldier with a big smile and heart.
"Keep Kyle in your prayers.," said Stoekli. "Keep us in your prayers. It sustains me."
The Stoeckli family still working on funeral details. We will pass them along as soon as we get them.
