Florida Craft Brewers Win Some, Lose Some
Legislation dealing with the brewing industry is inching closer to passage in the Florida legislature. It will ease some restrictions on Florida's craft breweries but, at the same time, will impose new ones.
It explicitly allows breweries to have on-premises taprooms. Some in the industry contended that the "tourism exemption" under which taprooms operated wasn't intended to cover small breweries. In addition, the it legalizes beer sales in 64-ounce growlers. On the other hand, the legislation limits the amount of beer breweries can move among breweries, and caps the number of taprooms at eight per brewery.
Josh Aubuchon, the head of the Florida Brewers Guild, says the legislation is "not perfect but pretty darn good." He points out that no brewery is even close to the taproom limit. However, some breweries are afraid that the restrictions could be tightened by future legislatures. They're also disappointed that lawmakers haven't address other restrictions, including the ban on self-distribuition and franchise laws that favor distributors.
The Friday Mash (ASCAP Edition)
On this day in 1914, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers was formed. This performance-rights organization takes in close to $1 billion in licensing fees, most of which it distributes to artists as royalties.
And now (cue the music)…The Mash!
We begin in the Verizon Center in Washington, where the Brooklyn Nets' Mason Plumlee committed the ultimate party foul. He crashed into a courtside vendor, sending $200 worth of beer flying.
Researchers have found that if you're seen holding a glass of beer, you will be perceived as less intelligent. It's called "the imbibing idiot bias": we closely associate drinking and dumb behavior.

New Belgium Brewing Company is rolling out its tenth year-round beer: Snapshot Wheat, an unfiltered wheat beer with citrusy aroma from Target hops. It checks in at a sessionable 5 percent ABV.
LiveScience's Stephanie Pappas explains the science behind a common party foul: the foam explosion out of a bottle of beer when you tap it. The tap creates waves which, in turn, create bubbles.
Another item from the world of science. Bricks made with five percent spent grain are nearly 30 percent better insulators, and just as strong as traditional bricks. The drawback? They smell of fermented grain.
Finally, some are defending an Amsterdam organization's policy of paying hard-core alcoholics in beer to clean up city parks. The workers are healthier and better-behaved now that they're being treated like humans.

So I got my Hardrock back on Tuesday with Hemisphere EX tires (not the new version, previous model). Shop installed for free and got a decent deal on them.
My early AM ride today was on the Hardrock with the new tires vs. my Giant with Kenda Kwest 32c tires.
Wow! What a difference! I love both bikes, but there's something about how "beefy" the Hardrock frame is that makes me a bit more comfortable on the cr*ptastic roads we have here post-winter (potholes, gunk on the road, etc). They're a fatter tire (1.95 vs. the 1.5s that bdinger and others have dropped on their MTB), but I pumped them up to about 80psi (max spec on the tire) and they definitely have a nice feel to them vs. the Revolution Knobbies that came stock on my '07 sport.
Very easily got the bike up in the 14mph range, avg. speed (I was plodding along this AM since I was dog tired) was around 9-10mph. Definitely have to do something about the fork at some point, but I'm quite comfortable now using the Hardrock as my morning ride and my ride when my wife goes with me (on her '03 Boulder SE with Serfas Drifter 1.5s).

Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to tommytboner
I waited and waited and waited and finally made the jump from PC to imac only to send it back less than a week later totally and utterly disappointed with the whole Apple experience. Shame on Apple for letting me and all of you down.
I will never spend that amount of money again with Apple because it would seem that they simply don't care. We have created a monster that is untouchable. For now...

Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to derekfromwishaw
Sorry Derekfromwishaw i was away for work
Ok i am from Nova Scotia Canada i went through apple care and got to choose a service center near me (robotnik) i had nothing to do with which drive was put in to replace the seagate, and nor im told did the tech or company that did the repair.
It took 72 hours to diagnose, send for the part and have it fitted.......
IMac was a month old so needless to say i was ******, but since have it back now its great although the guy did put Snow Leopard on instead of Lion...... said it was more stable! ha!
Seems to be great and working great, i can always go back to Lion should the need arise.
Hope this helps

Dizzydown.... sorry i was away for work
My NEW drive is
which IS completely silent just a slight hum from fans is all i can hear, certainly a massive change from the train wreck of a drive that was on here before (seagate i believe)
FYI this IMac is on a desk in a bedroom which is completely silent, and it does not make a squeek,
ray-macclesfield Mar 5, 2012 7:12 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to jayster1981
This is the exact model that was in my imac in october 2011. Mine was horrendously noisy and I sent it back. Strange that yours is silent with the same drive installed. Good to see someone get it resolved though.
derekfromwishaw Mar 6, 2012 11:13 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to ray-macclesfield
Apple have again edited my posts so we know that someone is watching this topic thread. How they can read the pages and pages of noisy hard drive complaints and yet not acknowledge there is a problem is totally unacceptable. Sorry poeple if I sound ike I'm going on and on but please email this TV programme and inform them of your grumbling imac. It's they only thng we can do as apple are aware of this issue but not prepared to address the concerns of their customers.
killhippie Mar 6, 2012 11:24 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to jayster1981
The 21.5" iMacs suffered the same noise, I had a 21.5" with the seagate that was really noisey, the nest had a WD which was also noisey and they run hotter, the third machine was a mid 2011 i7 imac with a seagate and its totally silent, same model segate as the others but I seem to remember the firmware may have been different, its so long ago now its hard to remember, anyhow the seagate does not make the rumbling coffee perculator sound at all, so maybe it is down to assembely of firmware but it was horrendous on the original machine, so not all seaget drives sound bad.
derekfromwishaw Mar 8, 2012 12:39 AM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to killhippie
Thanks for this. I have sent a copy of your post to the senior apple care person I have been in contact with.
The reason for me going on and on about all of this is that I can't use my mac the way I want to. For example, last night I was undertaking music editing work and the tapping and grumbling was so bad that it was in fact like a metronome click along with the music. The only problem? It was of course out of time with the tempo of the music I was listening to and its metronmone click! How can I work with this? Once again I reiterate - I do the same at work on an imac at work that is virtually silent and all previous imacs I have worked on have never sounded like this. So, as a mac customer I had no way of expecting this noise when I spent over £1,500 pounds on this machine. Well over £2,000 if you include the software. I am, therefore, no going to simply leave this issue. I NEED a solution.
DizzyDown Mar 8, 2012 10:07 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to suzkid
Derek, the ideal solution is Apple SSD which makes iMac dead silent (I recommend to remove a hard drive and put SSD). But Apple is using outdated not so fast SSDs in iMacs and charges alot for that. You can also try to upgrade to 2Tb Hitachi HDD from Apple - it has no clicks and grumbling is almost not recognizable, but it has a constant fan-like humming. But Apple prices for both of solutions are just ridiculous. It would be probably even cheaper to send your iMac to the US company macsales.com - they can install SSD or silent HDD much cheaper and it won't have any "fans" issues.
You can also install any quiet third-party HDD like WD Green or Samsung and use software to control fan speed. This way is the most cheap and dirty.
Anyway, I don't understand why should we suffer from ridiculous Apple policies - which are intentionally put in their hardware. We pay lots of money and deserve a flawless experience.
BTW for over 1500 pounds I believe you could order an SSD-only iMac, isn't it?
It's funny that Steve Jobs decided not to put a fan in the original Macintosh in 1984 to make it quiet and now in 2012 they offer so noisy systems!
DizzyDown Mar 9, 2012 2:43 AM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to suzkid
here is a similar topic, may be interesting to read
the story below is very interesting.. that guy tried 3 different HDs and they all made significant difference in iMac acoustics!!
He finally found Seagate drive to be the most quiet. It seems Apple now has a silent Seagate series. I think Apple SHOULD warn their customers on their website about the REAL difference in acoustics of different iMac models!! Especially when they charge for "upgraded" drives.. Here is a copy/paste of that interesting post from Mac Rumors:
DizzyDown Mar 9, 2012 3:47 AM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to suzkid
it's obvious that Apple has different revisions of 1 Tb Seagate drive (maybe different firmware)
The first is loud and grumbling and another one is reported as the most silent iMac HDD.
That's weird isn't it??
DizzyDown Mar 9, 2012 5:53 AM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to suzkid
I suspect Apple started to use hard drives with modified firmware to reduce seek noise, but that's again not public and they don't comment that. There is no any official way to order the part you need! "Eat what we give" and that's all. Apple, you are not low-level budget PC maker - you have a demanding customers! We deserve to get at least what you advertise, i.e. "You can hardly tell if your iMac is ON"
derekfromwishaw Mar 9, 2012 4:07 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to DizzyDown
I just don't get any of this. Is it firmware? Whay can't they just up-date this? I've never understood how I tried my first seagate replacement in a back room my local mac store (I made sure I did this) and I couldn't hear anything. I spent some time going through web sites that I knew created a noise and I couldn't hear anything. I thought, bingo - I've solved my problem.
However, I got my mac home, did a system restore off my WD external drive and the grumbling started all over again. Could this be to do with firmware? Or, simply that the mac started grumbling again due to the stuff that was put on the drive?
Another thing, I've a mac pro a work with the same seagate drive model number and it's just as noisy. I didn't notice it before as the tower is well away from the monitors that I use (I use a dual monior system). However, I went over to the machine and listened to it and it's just as noisy. If the drive was in front of you (like on an imac) you'd hear it grumbling away. So, I've now experienced working with 4 seagate drives with the notorious ST31000528AS model number and they all sound the same. Grumble, growl, grumble......tap....tap...drrrrrr......tap..tack..tack, grumble. Honestly, just like my coffee perculator. It's just totally unacceptable from apple but when/who/how is something going to be done about this!
DizzyDown Mar 9, 2012 9:21 PM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to derekfromwishaw
Derek, you can also try to play with acoustic management software like this
It's harder to get a similar software for mac os x but you can try to search Google.
Anyway, AAM fine-tuning seems to be disabled on my Hitachi drive (by Apple or by Hitachi, who knows)
Just a small question to Derek - do you hear a motor noise of your HDD which sounds like a fan? I.e do you hear your iMac when it's not grumbling? The motor noise of Hitachi is so loud that I can hear it over movie sound. How could they put so noisy drive in a system like iMac ...
derekfromwishaw Mar 10, 2012 1:37 AM
Re: 27" iMac hard drive noise in response to DizzyDown
I asked the guy in the genius bar about acoustic managmenet and he told me it's a windows thing (?). I'm afraid I'm no computer expert at all so I don't really know what these things are and how to check if I can use them. Like a lot of people, I've only the time to learn and use the software (pro tools, sibelius) so you rely on a company like apple (who you give a lot of money to) to be able to provded you with an acceptable machine. As DizzyDown has said, we didn't go to our local independent PC corner shop (I've a few of these in my town) and ask for a cheap as chips PC to be built up. I could have easily done this but chose to stick with apple and spend a lot of money on my 27 inch machine. To be given an imac that sounds like a popcorn maker/coffee perculator/hungry stomch and then be told there's nothing apple can do about it and it'll cost me even more cash to sort out the issue on my own is just unacceptable. Apple are reading these posts which makes it even worse.
DizzyDown, I can hear a slight hum so I do know the machine is on (when I don't hear the grumbling that is) but I have to say it's not that bad. In fact, you only really hear it when placing your ear up close. I would consider this to be acceptable but yours sounds as if it's louder than this. The noise appears to get louder when the mac is doing automatic time machine back-ups to my external drive. Also, the 21.5 inch imacs I have at work all make this noise. Again, it's not really that bad and what I would consider to be OK.

The Cause
During the many years Val Ossipoff practiced in Hawaii, he had a huge impact on residential and commercial architectural design. Most of his work was a thoughtful bridge of modernism with tropical design. Some have said his work was "culturally-intensive" reflecting his Russian heritage, strong Asian influence from his childhood in Japan and his deep appreciation for his home in the islands.
That legacy today sits in 66 boxes of folded drawings and papers given to Hamilton Library at the University of Hawaii.
And therein is the problem: access is limited and difficult.
The quest of the Hawaii Architectural Foundation and the AIAS (American Institute of Architects Students- Hawaii Chapter), with your help, is to provide the UH library with special flat file drawing cabinets so the archives department can open up these treasures and make them usable and available to students, teachers, owners and builders.
The Hamilton Library at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, estimated a total cost of roughly $585,000 spanning over a wo year time period. Our mission is to raise initial awareness of the cause to the overall community so that we may start to take the steps towards fully archiving and presenting the Vladimir Ossipoff architectural documents. We need your help to forever preserve these invaluable documents, so that the future generation of designers and architects may utilize and learn from them.
Thank you for your help.
The Ossipoff Documents Restoration Project is the first step in a journey to fully recovering and presenting the many documents and files in the Ossipoff collection.
As the Hamilton Library's financial need reaches $585,000, we are hoping to build momentum through this project to spearhead a larger movement in making these documents available.
Because the funds will be going to the Hamilton Library, where they already have a developed preservation department. The risks merely lie in not being able to raise the funds. It would be a shame if these architectural documents remain in the boxes, unavailable to students and the broader community.
The Impact
The ultimate goal of the Ossipoff project is to benefit the next generation of designers by making available to them these invaluable documents. Once the library has the architectural papers prepared, students, architects, and members from the community will be able to view them.
Other Ways You Can Help
We appreciate any help that we may get. Half of the effort is to raise awarness of the existance of the Vladmir Ossipoff architectural documents. It's people like you that will benefit the future archtiects, designers, and educators of the future!
Spread the word, share the link, check the facebook page, and come to the events!

An inherent limitation placed on retrieving data via CRM 2011's OData endpoint (OrganizationData.svc) is that the response can only include up to a maximum of 50 records (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334767.aspx#BKMK_limitsOnNumberOfRecords_). For the most part, this does not impact your ability to retrieve the primary entity data sets because each response will provide the URI for a subsequent request that includes a paging boundary token. As you can see below, the URI for the next page of results is provided in the JSON response object:
Here is what the full URI looks like from the example response shown above, including the $skiptoken paging boundary parameter:
Similarly for Silverlight, a DataServiceContinuation<T> object is returned in the IAsyncResult which contains a NextLinkUri property with the $skiptoken paging boundary. The CRM 2011 SDK includes examples for retrieving paged results both via JavaScript and Silverlight:
Nevertheless, this 50 record limit can become problematic when using $expand/.Expand() to return related entity records in your query results. The expanded record sets do not contain any paging boundary tokens, thus you will always be limited to the first 50 related records.
The next logical question – can this limit be increased? Yes, it can. 50 records is a default limit available for update via an advanced configuration setting stored in MSCRM_Config. Note that increasing the limit may only delay the inevitable for encountering results that exceed the limit. It may also cause your responses to exceed the message limits on your WCF bindings depending on how you have that configured. To avoid these scenarios, you may instead consider breaking up your expanded request into a series of requests where each result set can be paged. Also, before proceeding, I'd be remiss not to point out the following advisory from CRM 2011 SDK:
**Warning** You should use the advanced settings only when indicated to do so by the Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer support representatives.
**Warning** You should use the advanced settings only when indicated to do so by the Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer support representatives.
That said, now on with how to modify the setting…
The specific setting that imposes the 50 record limit is called 'MaxResultsPerCollection' and it's part of the ServerSettings configuration table. Go here for the description of MaxResultsPerCollection and other ServerSettings available: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334675.aspx.
Advanced configuration settings can be modified either programmatically via the Deployment Service or via PowerShell cmdlet. The CRM 2011 SDK provides an example of how to set an advanced configuration setting via the Deployment Service here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328128.aspx
To update the setting via PowerShell, execute each of the following at the PowerShell command-line:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell$setting = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.ConfigurationEntity"$setting.LogicalName = "ServerSettings"$setting.Attributes = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.AttributeCollection"$attribute = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[String, Object]" ("MaxResultsPerCollection", 75)$setting.Attributes.Add($attribute)Set-CrmAdvancedSetting -Entity $setting
Alternatively, you could use the PowerShell script provided in the CRM 2011 SDK to update advanced configuration settings: [SDK Install Location]\samplecode\ps\setadvancedsettings.ps1
To be able to execute scripts, you must first set your PowerShell execution policy to allow unsigned local scripts.
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Then, execute the 'setadvancedsettings.ps1' PowerShell script from the SDK and pass in the configuration entity name (string), attribute name (string), and new value (Int32).
& "[SDK Install Location]\setadvancedsettings.ps1" "ServerSettings" "MaxResultsPerCollection" 75
After performing either of the two methods above to update your setting, you can verify that the change was successful by inspecting the ServerSettingsProperties table in MSCRM_Config database.
Since these configuration values are cached, perform an IISRESET on the application server if you want them to take immediate affect.
Below are the results of a basic retrieve of AccountSet showing that more than the default 50 records were returned after applying this configuration change.
A few parting words…just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Austin Jones
Microsoft Premier Field Engineer
I received a follow-up question from an individual regarding the difference between the $top parameter and paging limits enforced by the MaxResultsPerCollection setting. To clarify, the $top param deals with the total size of the query result, whereas the MaxResultsPerCollection setting is the upper limit to the paging mechanism. I could see why this may be confusing because technically, the paging mechanism results in a SQL TOP expression. Nevertheless, specifying $top in your OData query may result in limited query results, but it could also be further sub-divided into multiple pages if the total result is larger than the limit on page size.
For example, let's say you have 120 Account records. You issue an OData query that specifies $top=100. The response will include the first page of 50 records and a Uri that can be issued in a subsequent request to retrieve the next page. The response will also indicate that the query retrieved a total of 100 records. If you were to increase the paging limit to 100 records, your OData query with $top=100 would return a single page with the entire result set. In either case, you would only be retrieving the $top 100 Accounts, rather than all accounts.

Talk:New York state election, 1940
|WikiProject Elections and Referendums
|WikiProject New York
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
Don't get confused[edit]
Election/voting day has traditionally been set by law as well as the beginning of the term of office--the process of campaigning has not. NY swears its gov in on Jan 1 regardless if that day falls on a sunday. The US pres is never sworn in at a SUNDAY inaug and inaugurals fall near Jan 20ish. Sundays are a church going day; not for political celebration and all its drinking. A NY gov can never be elected in the middle of a US pres's term because both US pres's and NY gov's are elected in November and start terms in January.22.214.171.124 (talk) 08:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- "In the middle" may not be taken always literally, but sometimes as a manner of speech. The elections are actually in the exact middle, on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November spaced exactly two years apart. The congressional elections like those of 2014, are commonly termed the "mid-term" elections, because they happen in the middle of the presidential term, sensu lato. Please avoid hairsplitting, articles should be correct, but readable. Kraxler (talk) 11:57, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I guess your feeble attempt to justify the colloquialism and imperfect manner of speech, "in the middle" is endorsement enough for me to refer all edit descriptions to me about what I have not achieved can be referred to you? You have now endorsed on behalf of WP that all types of manners of speech that are not literal are acceptable?
You are mistaken about timelines and as much as you would like to attempt to justify them the truth of the matter is that it is not true. Presidential terms start in late January and elections are in November. In order for something to be slightly in the middle of a presidential term of office would be in January when in fact precinct voting day is in November--upwards of two months short of a middle? So regardless of your sensu lato the logic of the matter is that you are wrong, you are wrong to present that illogic logic as acceptable and no wonder kids throw back at others how stupid can supposedly educated people can be. So please, leave your logic to that which applies to your life and not impose it on others.188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:23, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- RE "that all types of manners of speech that are not literal are acceptable?" - It always depends on the context.
- RE "Presidential terms start in late January and elections are in November" - Well, yes, but aren't you mixing apples and oranges? The presidential elections are held in November too. So the mid-term elections are exactly in the middle between the preceding and the following presidential elections. Besides, before 1935, the President's term and the congress members' term both began on March 4, so that those elected at the mid-term election in November would take office exactly in the middle of the President's term on March 4. You can see that at that time there was mathematical exactness in the expression "in the middle". Nowadays Congress starts on january 3, and the President's term on January 20, so there is a very slight bias, which may be considered immaterial, we still say "mid-term election" and everybody understands what we mean by that. An encyclopedia is not the right place for hair-splitting. Kraxler (talk) 17:38, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
"An encyclopedia is not the right place for hair-splitting." The Encyclopedia Britannica, London Times, NY Times, Los Angeles Times--all authorities on information. What they say, how they say it carry weight. Context is important but the words chosen to express are just as important and can possibly very well expose a prejudice or misunderstanding. If word choice was not so important than it would not be WP practice to indicate in an article what form of English is being used--British or American. Apples and oranges? It is important when speaking about things to refer to them correctly and not get one confused with the other especially when describing something by using the meaning of the other term(s). When the phrase "in the middle of" gets thrown in then the details of each word have greater significance in order to avoid being misleading or there being confusion. Is not that the reason for the use of grammar? Grammar is a logic. Word use is a logic. What sets up confusion and being misunderstood is using logic in one aspect but not the other.220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:36, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- Please check out Wiktionary:middle "2. The part between the beginning and the end". You see, in the English language, the word "middle" is not a point (in the geometrical sense), but something with a certain size and duration. I don't write the dictionary, I just use it. And so should you. Please refrain from further wasting your and anybody else's time. Kraxler (talk) 14:40, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
According to your logic, if a Wiki product supports you then it is credible. Wiki is not an independent source. It would be as if you wanted to fill the hole you made in your own tooth when drilling out the cavity, or you opening up your own skull to remove your own brain. You just do not do it unless of course there is some over-riding reason such as medical professionals are unable to get to you can you possess the skills set to do so or be guided through bu someone else via the phone or radio.
Last time I checked neither of my parents were named Kraxler or wrote under that name in WP. Also, you do not pay my bills therefore you believing that you have the right to tell me what to do with my time is not your purview and therefore you should take a respectful and responsible route of non-involvement and SHUT UP. Otherwise you open yourself to ridicule and potential embarrassment. Not to mention bullying. You have never had the responsibility to answer anything I have written so your interactions are of your own volition. If you do not like something that is not your responsibility then maybe you should refrain from considering it your role on earth having the only legitimate right to respond and to "set things your perceived right".
I have read that WP articles should be readable. There also need to be written so that what is contained in an article is not potentially confusing. I doubt that the meaning of the word middle as sourced by yourself from a Wiki product is good enough especially when middle can be any where from after the beginning to before the end. Have WP interest groups in the maths and sciences found the definition you found acceptable. The area of architecture, buildings and measures must certainly be interesting to be used in daily life when someone says to cut that beam in the middle--you know somewhere after the start if the beam and somewhere before it ends. If that is the intent of your call on this matter then may I suggest a review of the works of Escher be determine just what you may want to change your username.
I wonder how "good" or "useful" you would find such a definition of "middle" as found in Wiki if it were your personal freedom or even life on the line. Would you rely on such a definition that did not adequately represent your position? I seriously doubt it because for using the wrong word or wrong definition or the wrong arrangement of words or use of punctuation they can have you coming or going--the thumb or the pinkie. You get to decide. But then your next choice comes to the index or the ring. They both come after the beginning or before the end but that is not in the "middle" because everyone seems to recognize the middle when life gets real phuqutd hp!
So, how does the middle sound now--any place after the start and before the end?126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:02, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting--does not seem as if middle is sufficient a word and Wiki's meaning to be if use
- "Central binomial coefficient (category Factorial and binomial topics)"; "coefficient by They are called central since they show up exactly in the middle of the even-numbered rows in Pascal's triangle. The first few central binomial". Would "exactly" be necessary if middle--anywhere from after start to before end--was good?126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:44, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi All,
My website uses the Prosense theme, which does not natively support the new menus feature.
I would like to add native support to my theme as I prefer having a horizontal menu versus a sidebar menu. The drop down menu bar I currently have does not render well in all browsers, and I'd like to find a better solution.
I've come across a few articles about adding support for menus but they seem aimed at theme developers and I do not understand what I actually need to do and in which files. I have made a number of changes to my theme already, mostly via trial and error, but have very limited coding experience.
Can anyone offer some guidance?
I've considered changing themes altogether, to one that does offer this menu support, but I'm concerned about the potential mess my visitors will see until I have customised everything on the new theme.
Any advice much appreciated.

Clayton Carpenter delivers a student address at Lakeland High School's 2001 commencement. File photo/The Journal News

A Community Proposal
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Lincoln Akerman School (LAS) Renovation site, through which we hope to inform everyone in Hampton Falls. Feel free to Join our email list!
NOTE: Emails are not being reviewed currently. If you have a question or comment, please contact a member of the School Board via the SAU 21 website. Thank you!
Update: Articles 1 and 2 failed to achieve 60% at the polls in March 2015 - 53% and 46% respectively.
{ As the vote nears, we encourage the respect of others' ideas, passions and property. Let's remember that this is about the community of Hampton Falls and the children who are watching our actions. }
*** Article 1 and Article 2 accomplish the same goals using different funding methods ***
Voters may choose to vote for one or both articles
If they both pass, either $4.9M OR $7M will be bonded, NOT $11.9M-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
School Board proposed Article 1 GOAL: To create an educational environment that will advance 21st Century learning and address needs related to building age and programming.
A comprehensive program to address issues related to building age and programming has been presented to voters for the past two years. While over 50 percent of voters were in favor of this approach, there were not enough votes to achieve the 60 percent needed for a bond to pass.
In an effort to meet the needs of those residents in favor of addressing both program needs and building needs while also meeting the needs of those residents who felt the all-inclusive bond and related interest costs were too large, the School Board is proposing a compromise plan using a phased approach.
PHASE 1 - Ensure that every program has the space it requires to maximize the impact of programming
Phase one will be bonded and will include large projects that have long-term life expectancies:
Build Additional Education Space

A U.S. defense agency has postponed a two-day session aimed at jumpstarting work on a "spaceplane" that could fly almost as routinely as an aircraft.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had hoped to meet with industry representatives Oct. 7 and 8 to discuss their proposals for the Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1). But DARPA has delayed the meeting, citing the ongoing federal budget stalemate.
DARPA said it "remains committed to the program" and will announce a new schedule "when available."
The program seeks to develop a reusable unmanned vehicle that could deploy small satellites more quickly and at a less cost than today's space vehicles, which take months to prepare for launch and cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. The XS-1 would have a small ground crew and "no expensive specialized infrastructure," allowing it to fly daily from a wide range of locations. Among the program's specific goals are flying 10 times in 10 days, and reducing the "cost of access to space" for small payloads to less than $5 million.
DARPA envisions that a hypersonic, reusable first stage would fly to a suborbital altitude, where one or more expendable upper stages would separate and deploy a satellite into low-Earth orbit. The first stage would then land on Earth to be prepared for its next flight.

Actress Julie Benz and Rich Orosco had cause to celebrate this weekend -- and it wasn't just because of Cinco de Mayo.
The pair, who have been together for more than five years, tied the knot on Saturday at the historic John Sowden house in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, People reports.
The couple's wedding featured a Mexican theme, in a nod to the Cinco de Mayo holiday and the groom's heritage. The pair's engagement party also had a Mexican feel; it featured a mariachi band, a taco truck and shots of tequila as part of the celebration.
Orosco, a marketing executive, popped the question to the former "Dexter" star with a sparkling custom Kwiat cushion-cut diamond and platinum engagement ring in June 2011.
Watch the video below to hear the actress talk about getting engaged, and click through the slideshow to see photos of the couple throughout their relationship.
Rich Orosco's proposal to Julie Benz was followed immediately by an engagement party that Orosco had organized without Benz's knowledge.

Keeping the Feast: One Couple's Story of Love, Food, and Healing in Italy by Paula Butterini. This story of two journalists who dealt with injury by criminals and terrorists and then multiple bouts with clinical depression for the husband made me crave Italian food and admire the courage of those who struggle with depression and of their spouses.
Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals about the Mind by Margalit Fox. "In a remote village (in northern Israel) where everyone speaks sign language, scientists are discovering the essential ingredients of all human language—and uncovering the workings of the human mind." Too much technical information about linguistics, but the stories about the village and its inhabitants were interesting. Ms. Fox seemed overly concerned with the particular clothing people wore, especially the T-shirts for some reason; almost every person in the village is described in terms of what words or images adorn his or her T-shirt. The author is also mightily concerned about the status of ASL and other sign languages as full-fledged languages. I agree that ASL and other sign languages are truly, really, completely languages, but I find it odd and somewhat disturbing and uncaring that the linguists in the story want to preserve the languages by preserving and protecting deafness and the genetic transmission of deafness in the community.
A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Written to a secular audience, the book has a lot of good and useful information about how to evaluate charities and giving opportunities. There's even a chapter about church-related charities that is fair and open to the possibility of giving through one's own church or church-related organization. Specific charities are recommended, and the criteria for evaluation are well-thought out and take into consideration the fact that you often have to spend money and invest in advertising to get money for the charitable endeavor.

Tous ces ingrédients mélangés à une bande sonore de qualité donne un résultant des plus détonnants. A acheter de toute urgence.
ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
Double Dragon is easily the best beat 'em-up released on the Gameboy thus far. Sprite and backdrop graphics are intricate with a high degree of detail. Boss sprites are big, the vertical and horizontal scrolling is smooth. Soundtracks can became rather irritating, but the sound effects have punchy impact. Sure, this version is easy to complete - but you'll have lots of fun in the process. The link-up mode is just beyond the beat. Double Dragon - get ready to take it out.
Digital Press - Classic Video Games
If anything takes away from this excellent port, it's dying. Dying isn't exactly present in any form, but when it takes you all the way back to the start of the stage regardless of how far in you've gotten, then it's even worse. Add in some "leap-of-faith" jumping segments and you have one of the more unforgiving versions of Double Dragon. While a few minor quirks drop this one from the flawless status it could've received, this is still a must play if you own a Game Boy. There isn't a better playing side-scroller for the console in any form. Fans of the series will be pleased with this excellent conversion.
Um bom recurso deste game é que ele pode ser jogado por dois jogadores simultaneamente. Para isso, serão necessários dois aparelhos e um cabo que interliga os dois. A história é a mesma do grande sucesso Nintendo, no qual os irmãos Jimmy e Billy Lee tentam salvar a amiga Marion.
The graphics are quite superb, with backgrounds that would put many other bigger machines to shame - even in black and green. The only problem is that sometimes it is very difficult to work out which character you're controlling due to the blurred effect the Game Boy gives. The sound is impressive, with a super in-game tune pounding away throughout. The effects aren't quite as imaginative, but the playability, in a good light, is easily as good as any other version of the game.
ASM (Aktueller Software Markt)
Und das Schöne daran ist, daß TECHNOS fast eine 1:1-Umsetzung geglückt ist! Wären die Grafiken farbig, könnte man glatt meinen, einen verkleinerten Automaten vor sich zu haben. Hinzu kommt, daß sogar die Animation und der gesamte Spielablauf mit dem Automaten übereinstimmen; das Levellayout ist dagegen leicht geändert worden. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist etwas abgeschwächt worden, was der Spielbarkeit aber guttut. Sogar an den Zwei-Spieler-Modus wurde gedacht, sofern zwei Gameboys zur Verfügung stehen. Wenn Ihr auf Beat-em-up's steht, ist Double Dragon eindeutig die erste Wahl!
Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)
GameBoy Double Dragon is a nearly perfect version of the classic coin-op. The graphics are good, the play is identical to previous versions and the detail in the backgrounds is retained. A good action title that does complete justice to the title.
All Game Guide
If you haven't played too much Double Dragon on other systems you may want to try this one. It is the same as most of the other versions so if you have played a lot of this game on other systems then you might get tired of the game quickly. There is a 2 player link mode if you want to play with a friend.
Power Play
Knallharte Straßenkämpfer können sich jetzt auch auf dem Game Boy austoben. In insgesamt vier Missionen muß der Held seine Freunde aus den Klauen böser Streetgangs und Killer befreien.
