As the holiday season approaches, some may find that the stress of choosing the perfect gifts for family members and friends threatens their comfort and joy.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Some of the best gifts for this holiday season are likely to be ones that were the best in years past as well.
Few gifts have such broad appeal among recipients as those associated with a place and its people. And Charleston has an excellent array of things guaranteed to be favorite gifts.
You will find a sampling of such gifts and some of the places selling those and similar items on this page and Page D4
Bed swing
The bed swing (above) by the Original Charleston Bedswing is a piece that supports Lowcountry living.
The bed, which comes with its mattress, can be used both outdoors and indoors.
Retail sales are through The Sweet Olive in the I'On district of Mount Pleasant and they start at around $3,500.
Sweetgrass basket
The techniques used to make this sweetgrass basket, by Henrietta Snype, were brought to the Lowcountry by enslaved Africans.
The baskets had utilitarian purposes on plantations such as rice fanning.
This basket is sold by the Preservation Society of Charleston for $175.
Jigsaw puzzles
This 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with the image of "Contemplation," a painting by Lowcountry artist Jonathan Green, is one of those found at the Preservation Society of Charleston and sells for $16.95.
Other puzzles there are 550-piece ones featuring the works of local artist Tate Nation. These sell for $24.95.
Espresso cup, saucer
This espresso cup and saucer is part of the Historic Charleston Foundation's Charleston Skyline collection, which features drawings of Charleston landmarks, including Rainbow Row and the Ravenel Bridge.
Bowls, plates and mugs also are part of the collection, which has pieces selling from $15, like the cup and saucer, to $59.
Goat Island boxes
"Charleston Hospitality" is the design of this Goat Island treasure box from Charleston Collections Gifts.
Sara Sanders, a resident of the local island, makes them using salvaged molding. The boxes, available in a variety of woods, finishes and themes, are sold for $69 to $99.
These brass ornaments are modeled after well-known Holy City features such as the Charleston Battery and the Sword Gate at the Citadel.
The two shown here and others were found at Charleston Collections Gifts and sell for $16.99.
Rice spoon
This rice spoon from Historic Charleston Foundation recalls the days when the grain was a major Lowcountry crop.
It is still a staple among locals and the long-handled serving spoon is a popular item.
This one is from Reed & Barton, has a shell motif and is sold by the foundation for $27.
Carolina Gold Rice
This is an aromatic rice reintroduced to the Lowcountry in 1996. The grain is a reflection of South Carolina having been a leading rice producer for 200 years.
Historic Charleston Foundation sells a two-pound package for $13.
Reach Wevonneda Minis at 937-5705.

Fox & Friends is a conservative[1][2][3][4] American early-morning news and opinion talk show that begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and news of the morning. It continues with a variety of segments including breaking news, interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents, right-wing analysis from the hosts, and entertainment segments.
Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, Fox News Channel's original morning news program.
After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate show called Fox & Friends First. It was the first Fox News show to air live for the day, starting at 6:00 a.m. It was discontinued on July 13, 2008 and replaced with an additional hour of Fox & Friends[5] The Fox & Friends First title was later reintroduced on March 5, 2012, also as a separate show airing one hour before the main three-hour program, but using a separate slate of rotating anchors.[6] After the show has ended for the day, a short online-only web show named After The Show Show which features behind-the-scenes footage not shown on air, is streamed on the Fox News website. It lasts from less than 3 minutes to 10 minutes.
Since the arrival of Elizabeth Hasselbeck in September 2013, the show climbed 23 percent in total viewers compared to its average for the third quarter of 2013, and 22 percent in the key 25-54 news demo. For Hasselbeck's first four weeks on the show, "Fox & Friends" averaged 1.226 million total viewers, up from the 1.058 that the show averaged for the third quarter of the year.[7][8] In comparison, morning shows from both CNN and MSNBC combined to average 792,000 viewers. The show has seen a slight drop in early 2014 but still has managed to draw over 10 million viewers.[9]
Political stance[edit]
The New York Times wrote that Fox & Friends "has become a powerful platform for some of the most strident attacks on President Obama."[10] The program has provided a platform for conspiracy theories about Obama's religion and, in May 2012, aired a 4-minute video attacking Obama's record as President.[10] The video was widely criticized as a political attack ad masquerading as journalism,[11][12] TIME television critic James Poniewozik wrote: "It's hard to imagine a more over-the-top parody of Fox raw-meat-hurling, fear-stoking, base-pleasing agitprop."[13]
In response, a Fox News exec vice-president 'disavowed' the video, blaming an associate producer and that the video 'slipped by' senior managers at the network.[14] Fox stated that the show was entertainment and "does not pretend to be straight news."[10] Citing anonymous sources, the New York Times reported that some reporters, producers and executives at Fox were 'embarrassed' by the show, which remains by far the highest-rated cable show in its time slot as of June 2012.[10]
On October 5, 2013, while covering the government shutdown which had led to the closing of a veteran's museum, presenter Kooiman claimed that President Obama had offered "to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture". The story seemed to have been sourced from a spoof news website National Report, and the following week an on-air apology was made for "reporting a story based on poor research that was not true".[15]
Left-leaning media watch-dog groups such as Media Matters and Right Wing Watch feature thousands of articles criticising the content of Fox & Friends for biased and problematic reporting.[16] Non-partisan fact checker Politifact has thus far conferred exclusively "false" and "pants on fire" ratings to weekday hosts Brian Killmeade,[17] Steve Doocey,[18] and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.[19] Politifact's highest ranking Fox & Friends hosts are weekend hosts Anna Kooiman, who has exclusively received "Mostly false" ratings,[20] and Tucker Carlson, whose ratings are evenly split between "half-truths" and "pants on fire."[21]

[0001] The present application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 09/699,662 filed Oct. 30, 2000.
[0002] This invention relates to calcium phosphate cements which set after the mixing of a powdered calcium and phosphate source in an aqueous solution to form hydroxyapatite (HA). More particularly, it relates to the addition of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide during the setting of a calcium phosphate cement, thereby introducing macroporosity into the structure.
[0003] It is sometimes desired that bone cements and bone filler materials which harden or set have an interconnected porosity (macroporosity) throughout their structure after hardening. This interconnected porosity, if of sufficient pore size, allows for vascularization and tissue ingrowth to occur into the structure. Pores greater than 70 microns in diameter have been found to allow tissue ingrowth. This tissue ingrowth can be encouraged by coating or filling the pores with osteoinductive or osteoconductive factors such as bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs). Such factors are well known to those skilled in the art. Other therapeutic agents such as antibiotics or chemo-therapeutic agents may be introduced into the porosity by adding them to the liquid or powder.
[0004] In the past, porosity has been generated by including fillers which are soluble in physiological fluids or which are resorbed after implantation. These systems have the disadvantage that the porosity only occurs after implantation and thus the pores cannot be filled with growth factors or other therapeutic agents prior to implantation. In addition, to form the required interconnected porosity, up to 50 volume percent of resorbable filler must be added to the calcium and phosphate source precursor powdered material. This sometimes adversely affects material properties and reduces the amount of hydroxyapatite formed in the reaction of the calcium and phosphate precursors.
[0005] Also, foaming agents, such as citrimide BP which reduce the surface tension of the water have been used. However, this produces unwanted ammonium compounds when used in vivo.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,820,632 to Constantz et al. relates to a calcium phosphate cement wherein when a porous structure is desired, various additives may be included which may be leached out so as to provide for porosity in the cement. This porosity is in addition to any porosities achieved with a release of gas formed during the reaction to produce the product. Constantz et al. teaches including aggregates of soluble materials generally above 25 volume percent to develop sufficient interconnected porosity to foster bony ingrowth with the volume of aggregate normally being less than 50 volume percent. Specifically, Constantz et al. suggests the addition of calcium chloride and sodium or potassium hydroxide which are water soluble and will be leached out to provide the porosity.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,525,148 to Chow et al. teaches the use of pore forming agents that are preferably, substantially insoluble in the cement itself and can be removed by either resorbtion into body tissue, dissolution into physiological solutions, dissolution in solvents or heating after the cement has hardened. The pore forming agents taught by Chow et al. include sugar, sodium bicarbonate and phosphate salts.
[0008] Thus, there is a need to find a simple way of forming an interconnected porosity of sufficient pore size during cement hardening or setting and which avoids adding large amounts of filler to the cement. It has been found that the production or introduction of sufficient amounts of carbon dioxide gas during the reaction of the calcium and phosphate precursors to form HA produces the desired porosity.
[0009] It has been found that adding sodium bicarbonate and citric acid to the calcium and phosphate precursors to the formation of hydroxyapatite with a ratio of these acid and alkaline components selected such that the final result of their reaction does not change the pH of the aqueous solution, that a final cement having the desired porosity, sufficient hydroxyapatite and sufficient physical properties are produced.
[0010] It is an object of this invention to provide a method of preparing calcium phosphate cement compositions, which self-hardens substantially to hydroxyapatite at ambient temperatures when in contact with an aqueous medium, comprising, combining one or more sparingly soluble calcium phosphates along with an acid and base to produce a set material having an interconnected porosity.
[0011] It is another object of the invention to provide an acid and base which react to form carbon dioxide during the setting process of the calcium phosphate cement compositions and which does not alter the final pH of the mixture of the one or more sparingly soluble calcium phosphate powders when combined with the aqueous medium normally added thereto.
[0012] These and other objects of the invention are provided by a method for making a porous cement which sets to hydroxyapatite at ambient temperatures comprising mixing a powder comprising a calcium source, a phosphate source and a base with a liquid comprising an aqueous solution containing an acid wherein the calcium source and the phosphate source mix with the liquid component to form hydroxyapatite and the acid and base react to form carbon dioxide producing an interconnected porosity in the material. In the preferred embodiment, the base is a carbonate selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and calcium bicarbonate or a combination thereof. The preferred acid is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid and orthophosphoric acid or a combination thereof.
[0013] The preferred calcium and phosphate sources may be selected from the group consisting of tetra-calcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate and monocalcium phosphate. The chosen calcium and phosphate sources must self-set when coming into contact with an aqueous solution. This requires a combination or more calcium and/or phosphate sources. Thus, one source may be calcium alone or phosphate alone or one source may be a compound having both calcium and phosphate. The preferred ratio of acid to carbonate to produce a neutral pH has been found to be about 0.7 grams of acid to about 1.0 grams of carbonate. The preferred ratio of the acid and carbonate to the combined powdered and liquid components forming the calcium phosphate cement is about 10 to 20% by weight.
[0014] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the accompanying drawings, which disclose several embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that the drawings are to be used for the purposes of illustration only and not as a definition of the invention.
[0015] In the drawings wherein similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, in which:
[0016]FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional micrograph of the porous bone cement of the present invention formed at liquid to powder ratio of 0.25 and an acid/base weight percent of 10%; and
[0017]FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional micrograph of the porous bone cement of the present invention made from a liquid to powder ratio of 0.35 and an weight percent of acid to base of 20%.
[0018] This invention relates to calcium phosphate cements of the type taught in Brown and Chow, U.S. reissued Pat. No. RE 33,161 and U.S. Pat. No. RE 33,221 and in Chow and Takagi U.S. Pat. No. 5,525,148 and in Constantz U.S. Pat. No. 4,880,610, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0019] The method for porosity generation of the present invention is the addition of citric acid monohydrate in an aqueous mixture and sodium bicarbonate in powder form into the calcium phosphate powder mixture taught by the patents referred to above in which tetra-calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate powders are mixed with a liquid component which may be water, dionized water or an aqueous sodium phosphate solution made with water or dionized water. In the preferred embodiment, the ratio of acid to base is 1.0 gram of a base such as sodium bicarbonate to 0.7 grams of an acid such as citric acid. In the preferred embodiment, the sodium bicarbonate powder is mixed with the tetra-calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate powders with the resultant mixture then being combined with an aqueous liquid into which the citric acid has been added as a liquid. The preferred liquid to powder ratio is between about 0.25 to 0.35. The preferred weight percent of the acid/base to the liquid and powder combination is between about 10 to about 20 weight percent.
[0020] The ratio of acid to base (citric acid to sodium bicarbonate) was determined by reacting various ratios of each component in 10 ml of water. The ratio that left the pH of the water unchanged after completion of the reaction was chosen to be mixed with the powdered tetra-calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate combination. It was determined that the ratio of 0.7 grams of citric acid to 1.0 grams of sodium bicarbonate produced a neutral pH.
[0021] Sodium bicarbonate was mixed as a powder into the powdered tetra-calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate. Citric acid monohydrate was mixed into the deionized water liquid component. The acid/base ratio (A/B) was 0.7 grams of citric acid to 1.0 grams of sodium bicarbonate. A series of tests were performed in which the citric acid was added to deionized water and also was added to a 0.25 M sodium phosphate solution. Various liquid/powder (l/p) ratios were evaluated. Although the acid used was in solution, the invention would work equally well if an acid in dry form (free of uncombined water) was used as part of the powdered component.
[0022] After twenty-four (24) hours of setting at 37° C. in greater than 95% relative humidity, each cement specimen was dried to stop the reaction. X-ray diffraction measurements were made to determine the percent conversion to hydroxyapatite (HA) and the cement was sectioned to reveal the porosity. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the sections of two samples for illustrative purposes only.
[0023] The results of those tests are summarized in Table I. From this table, it can be seen that the specimen number 10 and specimen number 11 produced the most acceptable levels of hydroxyapatite of 67 and 69%, respectively and greater than 35% porosity. The pore sizes were between 440 and 580 microns. Pore sizes of at least 70 microns are desirable. Specimen 10 include a liquid to powder to ratio of 0.35 and 20% by weight of the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate added in with the aforementioned ratio of 0.7 grams of the citric acid to every gram of sodium bicarbonate and had a 35% porosity with 67% HA. Likewise, specimen 11 which utilized a 0.25 liquid to powder ratio and a 10% acid base weight ratio produced a 47% porosity with 69% HA.
[0024] While the Example deals with a calcium phosphate bone material, the method of producing a porous structure in a bone cement or filler could be utilized on any bone cement type such as a glass ionomer cement, poly (propylene fumarate) or a methacrylate cement where liquid and powdered components are mixed. A methacrylate cement is made by reacting a liquid methacrylate monomer with a powdered methacrylate polymer. Again, the powdered sodium bicarbonate is added to the powdered component and an acid source, such as citric acid, is added to the liquid component. Also, any gas producing chemical reaction could be used to form the pores. Rather than having the acid in the liquid component, it is possible to add the acid in a crystalline form as a solid component. An example of such an acid material is phosphoric acid free of uncombined water.
[0025] It is also possible to introduce carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and a combination therof or an inert gas such as nitrogen or helium directly into the setting cement mixture to form the porosity. This can be accomplished through a port in the mixing container.
[0026] The calcium phosphate materials mixed without the gas forming citric acid sodium bicarbonate components had a macroporosity of only 4%.
[0027] The pore size can be controlled by using less liquid in the liquid to powder ratio and/or less of the acid-base mixture to obtain smaller pore sizes. Conversely, more liquid or a higher weight percent of acid-base results in more porosity and larger pores. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the porous bone cements of Examples 11 and 10 respectively, showing average pore sizes greater than 70 microns.
[0028] While several examples of the present invention have been described, it is obvious that many changes and modifications may be made thereunto, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
[0029] Although the invention herein has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it is to be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the present invention. It is therefore to be understood that numerous modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and that other arrangements may be devised without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Maybe I was there on a good day, but I thought our cupcakes were SO good. I too am a big cupcake fan, but this place dethroned Crumbs for me--at least in the red velvet department. We also tried the peanut butter, vanilla milk chocolate, and pumpkin. I will agree that they are overpriced, but we are in the heart of Beverly Hills here.

I love cupcakes. I found the ones at Sprinkles dry tasteless and very, very expensive. Who do they think they are charging sooo much in this economy for something so subpar!
Posted by NYM wannabe critic on 01/22/2008
a lover of all things cupcakes, i just had to make my way to sprinkles on my last trip to LA this past weekend. after waiting in line for about twenty min (not bad, especially since right after we got in line it nearly doubled), we finally got past the 120 pound "bouncer" who looked like she had never eaten a cupcake herself. anyway, sensory wise the place was perfect, smelled amazing (how could it not...) and visually appealing. my sister and i picked out three cupcakes to share (a lemon, red velvet and our bouncer's "favorite" the peanut butter). i hate to say this, but they just weren't that good. the cake in all three of them was over cooked and crunchy on the ends, and after eating only a half of one i felt like there was a rock in my stomach because the batter was so heavy. in the end, i am sticking to my NYC venues for cupcake cravings. sorry sprinkles, Bridget from girls next door lied, you aren't the best cupcakes in the world.

Genre: Metal/Orchestral DeathCore
Immoralis Reverbnation
Official Facebook
What could you say about this band?
What can you not say about them is a better question.
After listening to Immoralis I must say graciously, are talented individuals, that are killer together as a band.
I was damned impressed with their sound, arrangements, overlays, groove and etiquette in this case.
Orchestras as neat and proper as they are, Immorials just took the Orchestra to real fucking proper.
Laying it down, converting the popular sit down for your listening pleasure to get the hell up and tear shit up for your enjoyment and self replication of mass energy – exploding through your senses.
These guys and gals are very compassionate and dedicated to their love of music and instruments. Skillfully tracked and harmonious badassery.
Immoralis is well on their way to becoming well known across the land and stamping their mark in the metal music world.
Most definitely add this band to your vault of music and always remember to listen, love and support the metal music Industry.
And always open your mind to music.

Need help with java update for 64-bit intel mac, 10.5.7
Help. Although I use a mac all day at work as a designer, I've just started learning how to service my own mac at home and I don't want to mess it up!!!
I want to update my java so I can run real-time online auctions. Currently I have JSE5.0, 1.5.0-22. My prefs indicate I'm running a 32-bit java. Can I update using java 1.6 for 10.5, 64-bit?
My system uses 10.5.7 on an imac. Need to know anything else?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Java is integrated into OS X and the installation is distributed and maintained by Apple. Long story made short, if Software Update says that you're good to go, you need not touch anything. Your real-time auctions should be fine.
If you're really concerned about versions of Java, open up /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app and change the default version there. You may or may not have JavaSE 6 installed but since it is listed here as being updated with a Java update, you do probably have it installed.

Torre gives committee instant replay proposal
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Major League Baseball Executive Vice President Joe Torre has given his instant replay proposal to the executive committee to consider as baseball's brass huddled for two days of meetings.
Commissioner Bud Selig was to address the media on Thursday morning to discuss what is on the table.
"I thought it was very thoughtful and well-done," Selig said Wednesday evening. "We'll discuss it in more detail tomorrow. We haven't even discussed it."
MLB is looking at a vast expansion of video review for the 2014 season and is examining whether all calls other than balls and strikes should be subject to instant replay.

Loss of club leaves Void in dance scene
Posted: February 16, 2010|
BULLDOZED: Owners Dave Goodwin, left, and Paul Walters on the site of The Void yesterday. Inset, the club in 2003. Picture: Alex Severn
BULLDOZERS have moved in to clear a nightspot famed for putting Stoke-on-Trent on the clubbing map.
The Void in Hanley will be demolished later this week and replaced with a 36-space car park.
The 1,200-capacity dance venue – which in its heyday attracted superstar DJs including Judge Jules, Sasha and Paul Oakenfold – has stood empty since closing in 2003.
Owners Paul Walters and Dave Goodwin said changing fashions in music and clubbing spelt the end for the Glass Street club.
Dave first took on the nightspot in January 1993, when it went under the name The Academy.
"I will never forget that opening night," said the 49-year-old from Baldwins Gate.
"We had Sister Sledge performing, as they had recently been at number one in the charts, and the queue went down the street
"I saw a real gap in the market in Stoke-on-Trent. I had spent some time in Ibiza and wanted to have a dance club here."
The club underwent a £500,000 overhaul in 1996 and later became known as The Void. And it was then that its club night Golden attracted some of the country's best DJs.
Paul, aged 46, from Newcastle, said: "When it was packed out every week, it was a fantastic feeling to be involved with it. It was nice to know we had really put Stoke-on-Trent on the map.
"I think there was just a change in fashion and in what music people wanted to listen to. While dance music was still big across Europe, it was dying in this country."
Social networking site Facebook has a string of groups calling for the return of The Void.
Paul added he had toyed with the idea of a farewell bash.
He said: "I considered doing a New Year's Eve party there but, when we looked at the cost of it all, there was no way we could have done it. Too much needed to be done."
Paul, who spends his summers in Ibiza, said he wouldn't rule out opening another city club one day.
He added: "It wasn't just dance DJs we attracted. We had boxer Nigel Benn do a set, and Doves.
"But when bars started to get late licences, no-one wanted to pay £10 to get into a club, and it was costing us in excess of £10,000 to get a DJ for a two-hour set. It just wasn't viable anymore."
The business partners will now hire a firm to manage the new car park on their behalf.
Jeff Mountford, aged 29, from Audley, was a regular at the Void.
He said: "I'd always hoped that someone with a feel for nostalgia would buy it and take it back to its glory days, but clearly that's not going to be the case.
"It's a shame that it is now going to be nothing more than a part of the area's history."
Local historian Angie Stevenson, from Longton, added: "I remember standing in the ruins of Jollies and couldn't believe it had been knocked down. Many people will feel the same about The Void."

CRESTVIEW — School's out, but many area high school volleyball players are staying active by playing beach volleyball.
"We see volleyball as our escape," said Meghan Deitz, 16, of Crestview.
Meghan, a Crestview High School varsity volleyball player, is one of several teenagers competing in local beach volleyball tournaments.
The volleyball skills they learn in the sand can easily transition to the indoor game, the players said.
"It improves your game 100 percent," Miranda Hohman, 16, said. "This helps you read the ball better."
'You cannot hide'
Players receive tips from Crestview resident Sam Nimpchaimanatham and his Sand Turtles Volleyball Club. He regularly coaches volleyball at his residence's regulation-sized court.
"With indoor (volleyball) you can get six points without touching the ball," he said. "(With outdoor) you have to be involved with every single point; you cannot hide your weakness."
Nimpchaimanatham, who previously represented the U.S. Armed Forces in international volleyball tournaments, has coached students at several area schools, including Crestview and Fort Walton Beach high schools.
Practice pays off
"I'm just here to help them with whatever they need," Nimpchaimanatham said. "I like seeing all of the kids from different schools making friends and playing with each other. We try to keep it a family atmosphere here."
Practicing with the club has paid off for several students, including Crestview's Marisa Rogers and Brittany Pase, who qualified for the July 25-27 USA Junior Beach Tour National Championship in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Being a part of the club has not only helped Rogers with volleyball skills, but it also has affected her attitude toward the game.
"I get down on myself when I mess up," she said. "Over the past few years, playing with Sammy and the rest of the girls has really helped with that."

A large amount of guano was removed from the atoll between the late 1850's and the early1900's. However, until 1936, the atoll was uninhabited except for visits by guano miners and military personnel.
On July 29, 1926, by Executive Order 4467, President Coolidge established the Johnston Atoll as a Federal bird refuge and placed it under the control of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On December 29, 1934, Executive Order 6935 transferred control of Johnston Atoll to the U.S. Navy to establish an air station and also to the Department of the Interior to administer the bird refuge. In 1936, the U.S. Navy began developing a seaplane base, an airstrip and refueling facilities on the atoll. These served as an important link between Hawaii and the western Pacific during the Second World War. The atoll was fortified during the war and used as a supply point for submarines.
The Secretary of the Navy agreed to transfer operational control of Johnston Atoll to the U.S. Air Force on July 1, 1948, to be used as nuclear testing. The Department of the Air Force signed an agreement with the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) on July 1, 1973, to administer host-management of the island.
Political Status
Use of the facilities by DTRA is covered by an U.S. Air Force permit. The Loran station at Johnston Atoll is closed. No local government exists. The resident military commander of Johnston Island acts as the atoll's civil administrator for the Defense Nuclear Agency.
Military occupation and construction has drastically altered Johnston Island; little of the original habitat remains. Military construction operations leveled Johnston Island, enlarged it to 211 acres, and built another islet connecting it to Sand Island by a narrow causeway. The present surfaces of Johnston, North, East, and Sand Islands consists of hard-packed coral material. The terrain is mostly flat with a maximum elevation of four meters.
Although the oceanic region in which the atoll lies is relatively unproductive, life is abundant in the atoll itself. Approximately 194 species of inshore fishes, along with sea turtles are recorded in the atoll and 500,000 seabirds use the atoll for roosting and nesting.
Climate is windy and warm with an average temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. It is relatively dry with an average annual rainfall of 26 inches.

I was just going through the theme I'm building and noticed that the pages I made aren't showing the content posted in that page, all that shows up are the posts that are created. How come it's doing this and how do I get the content from the page to show up instead of the posts?
Please post the code you have in your page.php
sorry, reposted the code so it will show properly
< ?php get_header(); ?>

Hmmmm, nothing looks out of order for me there. Try replacing the_title with some random text. This will make sure that your pages are using the proper template.
maybe I'll just remake it from scratch. I'm using Ambers hijinks wordpress template.
Hi, thanks in advance for any help. I'm having this same problem. My posts are showing up on all pages when I want them to show up only on the home page. I've designated "latest posts" for "front page displays" in settings>reading but the content from my pages doesn't show up, the one blog post shows up on all pages. Any ideas how to fix?

< ?php the_title(''); ?>
< ?php the_content(''); ?>
< ?php endwhile; endif; ?>
That fixed everything for me, so my posts would show up on my main home page and then on my pages it would show the page content I had.
Don't forget to place it in your page.php template also. Let me know if it works.

We all know that we don't like leaving our pets home while we are at Relay for Life; and unfortunately, that won't change.
HOWEVER, Rutland Relay is holding its FIRST American Cancer Society Bark For Life event this October!
What is a Bark For Life event?
The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is a fundraising event honoring the life-long contributions of our Canine Caregivers. It presents an opportunity for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships and to contribute to cancer cures through the mission of the American Cancer Society.
Canine Caregivers are Canine Companions, Guide Dogs, Service Dogs, Rescue Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Police Dogs, Cancer Survivor Dogs, and Diagnostic Dogs, who with their owners, are joining the American Cancer Society as Relay teams. They participate to celebrate cancer survivorship, to honor people lost to cancer, and to fundraise in support of the American Cancer Society mission of eliminating cancer though research, education, advocacy and service
Canine companions demonstrate unconditional love, joy, security, compassion, and no judgments of cancer survivors abilities or appearances. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is an irresistible way to partner with your canine best friend, smile, and make new friends canine & human.
We would like to invite YOU to our Rutland County Bark For Life! It will be a fun-filled family event on Saturday, October 10th, 2015 at the Highline Lodge in Killinton, Vermont!

Thank you again for ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK that you put into our Relay!
Best,Your Rutland Relay Event Leadership Team
What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is a community event where people come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. Friends and family, coworkers, companies, and other groups form teams and those teams raise money to help fund research and patient care through the American Cancer Society. The funds you raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer - just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!
Relay For Life teams "camp out" during the event at their site and take turns walking around the track. Team tent sites can be decorated and teams can sell food, items, and activities at their site for day-of fundraising. Events are between 12 and 24 hours long, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
The Mission of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life:
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.
Through their fundraising involvement, Relay For Life participants ensure the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society is supported. Volunteers can find fundraising ideas, incentive program details, and encouragement through a number of channels including here on RelayForLife.org and on Relay Nation, an online community developed just for Relay For Life participants. To learn more, click HERE.
Have you raised a minimum of $100 so you can be part of the HOPE Club and receive your 2015 commemorative t-shirt?
The Luminaria Ceremony is a ceremony of remembrance and hope. It symbolizes a time to grieve for those we have lost, to reflect on our own cancer experience or that of those closest to us, and to find hope that tomorrow holds the promise of a cancer-free world.

Look what came home from costco! Terry set out with half the family to do some much needed pantry stocking. That in itself has quite a treat, but then to return home with a special, selected by Olivia (the queen of pink), surprise. What more can a girl ask for?
Days have passed and we've all enjoyed having fresh flowers in the house, they manage to brighten up even the brown of cardboard moving boxes. But I find myself feeling a little like the, past their prime, blooms. Lucky for me, I'm not headed out for the garbage man to tote off.

Wired is my favorite magazine. They take subjects which may seem uninteresting and write the heck out of them. I bought my father a subscription along with my own 2 years in a row. If you like science and technology you should NOT go without this magazine!
Never read WIRED until recently. It's a fresh magazine that covers science and technology not in a boring repetitive way that our fathers used to read. Geared toward those once looked down upon nerds and geeks.
There are too many things to know- but Wired magazine helps cut to the chase and helps me what I need to know.
I love the whole WIRED magazine.
WIRED magazine provides a lot of articles relevant to today's issues and many interesting facts.
Many articles in WIRED are on subjects that impact all of us in an ever increasingly technology-driven world. Many articles are great how-to articles. And it's a great value for the money.
Wired magazine is about cutting edge topics--it is not for the new/low end computer user, but for people interested or working in tech. Reading this makes me feel one step ahead of colleagues on gadgets, tech-related current events, and other cool stuff.
Leading technology magazine covering the what's new, what's predicted, and what's coming next with great in-depth articles. Certainly not designed for new computer users, this magazine caters to those working within technical fields and desire cutting edge information. Very stylistic design of covers and content layout. Been a subscriber for over 12 years now.
WIRED Magazine Subscription
I think the biggest misunderstanding about Wired magazine is that it is some kind of nerd-focused, technology-only magazine for people who know more about computers than you do. While it definitely has its ears open for the latest, fastest, and best, the truth is that Wired is far more accessible than those who haven't read it yet might give it credit for.
If I had to describe Wired, I wouldn't even call it a technology magazine. The best description I can come up with is that it is an "anthropological/science" magazine. Articles on human behavior, politics, space, cars, food and yes: gadgets and technology all grace the pages of Wired magazine in a pretty seamless fashion.
One page, you're comparing the newest apps for your phone, and the next you're reading about how a former CTO of Microsoft has developed a new method by which to cook the world's best french fries.
Did you know that the blood of horseshoe crabs has been a huge help in keeping impurities out of pharmaceutical drugs, and that they have found a way to humanely harvest it? If "Wow, that's actually really cool" is a phrase you don't use enough, you should think about getting yourself a subscription to Wired.
In addition to the printed magazine, their website, as you might expect, is also excellent. It is super-easy to use, you can get most of the same articles, and it also offers a number things you can't find in the magazine. Just today I was streaming the new Brian Eno album.
I'm not sure if this is the goal that Wired had when they set out to create a magazine, but I think their role is kind of a "how-to" for navigating and taking advantage of modern life. Technology is growing so fast that there is absolutely no way that any of us can keep up with it while we also tend to things like school, our jobs and our families.
Wired is a great filter. It sifts through the newest advancements and points out some of the "can't miss" things that you should be using.
Thanks for checking out my Wired magazine subscription review at Magazines.com.

Conducting for Ballet
Music Matters on Radio3
A discussion on conducting for dance and ballet between Ivan Hewett, Ismene Brown, Barry Wordsworth and Thomas Edur
BBC Radio 3, 23 June 2002
Ivan Hewett: How many of you could name a famous ballet conductor? There are one or two Russians like Fedotov and of course Valery Gergiev. But in the West it is hard to think of any. One very distinguished conductor of ballet at the Royal Opera House was Barry Wordsworth, but he was never musical director there. That post always goes to whoever is in charge of opera. So why does ballet conducting have a lowly status compared to opera? And is the second rank status being offered to second rank performances in the pit? I've been discussing those questions with Barry Wordsworth, the principal dancer of the English National Ballet, Thomas Edur, and the dance critic of the Daily Telegraph, Ismene Brown.
Ismene Brown: I certainly don't think that ballet music is in any way inferior to opera or to symphonic music. In fact some of the best bits of music ever written are ballet scores. I think there is a genuine problem with the standard of playing at many top ballet companies, including some of our own dear ones here in Britain, partly because, I think, there is a
Ivan Hewett: Barry Wordsworth, you made most of a career out of conducting ballet. Did you feel sometimes that you were making your way in a form of conducting that wasn't very well regarded? That, as a ballet conductor, you weren't somehow up there with symphonic conductors or opera conductors?
Barry Wordsworth: Yes. I think as a general statement that is very true. I wouldn't for a moment want to sound as if I regretted anything I've ever done. I've enjoyed every second of it. But it's probably fair to say I enjoy it more, now that I do rather less of it. Which is a
Ivan Hewett: And yet, I would guess, the technique and the responsiveness to the stage action must be just as vital. Thomas Edur, let me bring you in here. As a dancer, what is it you need and look for in a ballet conductor?
Thomas Edur: Someone who understands what dance is all about and really follows us in a way, but not too much! It's a very difficult job, to lead a dancer. You almost have to conduct three dimensionally, to see what they do. Many conductors spend a great deal of time in the studio with the dancers and then they learn all the steps themselves. Then we can give a good performance.
Ivan Hewett: It's interesting that you say they should follow you, but not too much?
Thomas Edur: If they try to play into your legs, sometimes they can spoil your performance. We are all human and we can go a bit faster, a bit slower, and sometimes dancers ask for too much and it is not possible. So if you play within a frame, I think there wouldn't be any problem.
Barry Wordsworth: My good friend John Lanchbery put it better than I could possibly ever put it when he said that, when it comes to the performance, if the preparation has been done well in the studio, then neither the dancer nor the conductor is aware of either leading the other, but it just happens as a result of the work they have done together through the preparation period. But of course the conductor does need to assimilate all sort of things in a discipline, which is quite different from the one he has spent all his life studying. This is one of the reasons why we tried to start up a competition all those years ago, to give young musicians an opportunity to learn what it is like actually to do a ballet. Because most people are landed with it without the faintest idea of what they have to do and of course they find it extremely difficult.
Ismene Brown: But surely part of the problem is that dancers themselves lack confidence when it comes to music. There are many of them who are trained to dance on the beat and to count and many many of them, I'm sorry to say, you can see them virtually on stage counting their way through their phrases. Alicia Markova, when she was being taught by Balanchine and Stravinsky, she was taught not to count, but to listen to the instrument and to dance to their sound. That's what actually people do when they listen to music and dance in the normal way. It bothers me that too many dancers don't really listen to the music that's there. At New York City Ballet, there's a very interesting attitude. Peter Martins, the director, says that nowadays people conduct Balanchine's ballets too slowly. Basically you have to put it in the hands of the conductor. The conductor plays the music as it should be played and the dancers should have to keep up. That's a completely reversed attitude really. I think it's a little extreme. But there's something to be said for it.
Ivan Hewett: Thomas Edur, are you counting when you dance or are you listening?
Thomas Edur: No I never count. The old Russian tradition in which I was trained at ballet
Ismene Brown: But ballet isn't just the classics. Some of the long full-length classics, you could say, haven't got particularly distinguished music, but it comes together in the
Ivan Hewett: Gosh that is extraordinary. I'm wondering how things can be improved? Barry, you were mentioning a competition, which now no longer exists, do you think there are certain steps that need to be taken to bring up the status and the quality of ballet conducting?
Barry Wordsworth: I think, first of all, that the whole art of ballet conducting needs to be better understood; also that companies, bear in mind that as a ballet conductor you are

Boukari rejoined his team-mates on Monday after six weeks out with a hamstring injury sustained in the opening minutes of the 1-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday on September 29.
Wanderers boss Stale Solbakken insists the Togo international will need a run out in the reserves before he is ready to play for the first-team again though.
"Razak trained for the whole session yesterday but it's too early for him to be in the squad on Saturday (against Watford)."
"It's probably good for him to play reserve football first."

My friend & I recently visited the city and wanted to try this restaurant after seeing it mentioned in various magazines. The atmosphere is nice, sort of Victorian style with weathered tables & chairs. However, we weren't too impressed with the food. Ordered the frozen hot chocolate which was rather bitter and the whipped topping was extremely waxy and tasteless. We split a chicken salad sandwich which had large chunks of chicken and celery but it was so bland, we had to sprinkle lots of salt & pepper to get any flavor. I think the dressing on it must have been plain yogurt. Yuk! Our bill came to over $30. We don't plan on returning. A restaurant of this size that holds about 65 people should have more than one bathroom stall. The bathroom stall is about 3'X3' and the sink area is even smaller. If you happen to be a "large" person you won't even fit.

Everyone makes a huge deal out of Serendipity 3.. and in a way, there's reason to. It's cute, the atmosphere is nice and cozy. Their dessert simply spectacular (Forbidden Broadway Sundae, amazing). However, the downside is that their food isn't really all that and the long wait really is a huge turn off. Their service is okay, depending on who you get. The prices are high. It's one of those places that you'll have fun going to but you need to really plan your visit. (you need to get there on time and figure out exactly how many are going, not exactly allowing for spontaneity.) It's not one of those places that you'd keep coming back to often..It's a touristy or date, thing to do. But go anyway, just to try their dessert and brag about having gone.
Posted by Julienne P on 05/27/2006
Serendipity has the BEST sundaes and deserts, but its service is unbelievable. It took so long just to get a salad and a sundae, and even though the food is great, it was not worth the wait. It is very busy, and if you like the bustling atmosphere I guarantee that you'll love the food!
Posted by Susie on 05/07/2006
I've been to Serendipity many times, mostly on birthdays and special occasions, but the last time the service was so slow (we waited to order for half an hour) that my friends and i just got up and left and got more bang for our buck from the CPK next door, just as good food. Serendipity is only good for the frozen hot chocolates and the kitschy atmosphere.
Posted by Joseph on 05/03/2006
While the setting is inviting, the majority of the seats are rather cramped and uncomfortable. Be sure to be seated towards the back if possible. The meals are mediocre, not gross- but nothing to write home about. The desserts however are very disappointing. You will leave wondering what the hoopla is about. The consistency of the ice cream was watery yet at the same time pasty and overwhelming. Not as many toppings options as there should be for a place known for their desserts. Serendipity is all about ambience -- leave your taste buds at home.
Posted by June on 04/25/2006
My date and I came here b/c of the movie. We hadn't made reservations so the wait was about an hour but that was okay as we just came for desert. We had their "famous" frozen hot chocolate and something with cherries in the title. . .I can't recall exactly. Both were good. If you've never been, I would recommend going for the dessert. The food seemed overpriced for such simple plates so we went elsewhere for dinner. I don't think I'll be going there again unless we have to guests who want to see the place. Long wait, expensive food, average service not worth the good but not great desserts.
Posted by TheBdayGrrl on 04/21/2006
My husband took me here for my birthday and we def had a pleasurable experience. The food was good and the desserts were to die for. We had reservations made for a Tuesday night, and it was a good thing. The wait for those without reservations was an hour and a half. The service was fine, no one rushed us at all. For dessert, I had the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate...and my husband had the peanut butter Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. Both were amazing! One is plenty for two. If you can't finish it, feel free to ask them to "wrap it up" and they will put it in a carry out cup. All in all, I think this a great place to go for dessert. Don't forget to make reservations to get ahead of the tourists.

While I consolidate more information, interviews, and photos from the Windows Phone launch in India today, here's a look at three Windows Phone devices that were announced today in the presentation by Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman of Microsoft India in presence of executives from all hardware partners.
HTC Radar
HTC Radar is HTC's first Windows Phone 7.5 device to be launched in India. Earlier, HTC had launched Mozart and HD7 in the market before the official launch of Windows Phone in India.
HTC Radar has a sturdy, univody design, and the white color stands out and looks stylish. It features a 3.8-inch display. The regular 1GHz Qualcomm processor is packed with 512MB RAM and comes with 8GB of internal storage. HTC Radar has a front-facing VGA camera too, along with the 5MP camera at the back that can shoot videos at 720p.
HTC Radar would be available in the market from next week, and is priced at INR 23,999.
Samsung Omnia W
Earlier this month, Samsung announced their first Windows Phone in India – Samsung Omnia W.
Omnia W features a powerful 1.4GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display of Omnia W is stunning, but the device has a plastic-y feel to it. Omnia W features two camera, a front-facing VGA camera and a 5MP camera at the back capable of shooting 720p videos.
Samsung Omnia W would be available in the market in November at a price of INR 19,990.
Acer Allegro
Announced a few days ago, Acer Allegro would hit the Indian shores next month, probably at the same time if not before the Europe launch. Finally Acer has joined the stable of Windows Phone devices with Acer Allegro.
Allegro features a 3.6-inch display and has pretty much the average specifications of 1GHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB RAM, 8GB internal storage, and 5MP camera. The device has a nice finish to it, and with international reports stating a cheap price, this could be competing Samsung Omnia W well.
Acer Allegro will be available in Indian market in November. The price of the same hasn't been officially announced.
