You've gotta hand it to Kaman's K-MAX UAS unmanned helicopter ... it's been used to deliver cargo in a combat zone, it's set altitude and payload weight records for airdrops, and it's been part of an autonomous air/ground mission. Now it's teamed up with a quadcopter in an exercise which suggests that the two could be used to fight forest fires, without endangering human pilots. Read More
Gizmag recently took the opportunity to tour the Hangar-7 Museum in Red Bull's hometown of Salzburg, Austria. With an underlying theme of speed and adrenaline, the stylish, hangar-inspired gallery serves up an ever-changing collection of air and land race hardware. Step inside for a virtual tour of intriguing architecture and high-performance machinery. Read More
Sikorsky's record-breaking X2 Demonstrator helicopter may be a museum piece these days, but the technology that went into it is still alive and kicking as the United Technologies subsidiary takes the wraps off the first of its two S-97 Raider helicopter prototypes. According to Sikorsky, this event marks the beginning of the armed reconnaissance 'copter's flight tests aimed at providing the US Army with its next generation of combat rotorcraft. Read More
The sheer density of the rainforests in Australia's far-north creates a slight problem for local conservationists. With incursions by invasive plants posing a threat to the native flora, inaccessibility for people makes it a difficult and time-consuming task to monitor the region. Now researchers from the CSIRO have developed two mini helicopters capable of hunting down the dangerous weeds from the air, significantly reducing the resources needed to preserve local plant life.

The Experimental Aircraft Association's fly-in airshow held annually at the Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is one of the largest and most anticipated events of its kind in the world. With a history that stretches back more than 60 years, this aviation spectacular now attracts over half a million aircraft enthusiasts, along with some 10,000 planes, helicopters and experimental aircraft of all eras. Gizmag joined the multitudes on the shores of Lake Winnebago for EAA AirVenture 2014 – here's our look at the highlights.Read More
Some people are never satisfied. You give them a plane, and they say it can't hover. You give them a helicopter, and they say it can't fly very high or fast. Looking to combine the advantages of both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, Elytron Aircraft LLC of Mountain View, California is developing the Elytron 2S, a small tiltrotor aircraft that uses a box wing configuration and is aimed at the civilian market.Read More
Helicopters are so commonplace, it's easy to forget that an aircraft that can take off and land vertically as well as hover is a tricky thing to fly – especially in close quarters and low visibility. One solution is augmented reality systems, such as the Helicopter Skylens wearable head-up display for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) applications. Read More
As one of the contenders in the race to win a $US100 billion contract from the US government for the Army's next generation of attack helicopter, AVX Aircraft Company has conceived a futuristic machine kitted out with coaxial rotors, ducted fans and a retractable undercarriage that could hit speeds of over 270 mph (435 km/h).Read More
When we hear about military robots, it usually evokes images of Terminator-like killing machines, but it can also mean robotic systems designed to help soldiers concentrate on the job at hand. Case in point is Israel-based Duke Airborne Systems' Robotic Weapon System (RWS). Unveiled at the Eurosatory defense industry show in Paris, the system billed as a "first-of-its-kind" is a concealable robotic gunnery module that allows utility helicopters to fly into hostile territory without an armed escort.

This April, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp and the US Army used a one-of-a-kind autonomous Black Hawk helicopter to perform an unmanned cargo flight demonstration. Known as the Optionally Piloted Black Hawk (OPBH) Demonstrator, that same chopper has now been enlisted to take the autonomy concept even further. In the new Extended Operational Reach with Autonomous Air and Ground Vehicles project, it will deliver an all-terrain vehicle to a remote site, and that vehicle will then autonomously explore the site from ground level.

The Story of the Streets (Hardback)Mike Skinner
Hardback Published: 29/03/2012
- Not available
**WINNER OF THE NME BEST BOOK AWARD** 'This book is going to try and get as close as possible to the full story of what informed the noise of The Streets. Obviously that's something I should be fairly well-qualified to know about, and I'm going to be as honest as the publisher's lawyers will allow.' With the 2001 release of The Streets' debut single 'Has It Come To This?' the landscape of British popular music changed forever. No longer did homegrown rappers have to anxiously defer to transatlantic influences. Mike Skinner's witty, self-deprecating sagas of late-night kebab shops and skunk-fuelled Playstation sessions showed how much you could achieve simply by speaking in your own voice. In this thoroughly modern memoir, the man the Guardian once dubbed 'half Dostoevsky ...half Samuel Pepys' tells a freewheeling, funny and fearlessly honest tale of Birmingham and London, ecstasy and epilepsy, Twitter-fear and Spectrum joysticks, spread-betting and growing up. He writes of his musical inspirations, role models and rivals, the craft of songwriting and reflects on the successes and failures of the decade-long journey of The Streets.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has extended settlement talks in the divorce case of Jamie and Frank McCourt involving ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon set a hearing for early Friday to determine if both sides had reached a deal. Gordon initially declared an impasse but rescinded it when attorneys indicated they needed more time.
In December, Gordon deemed a postnuptial marital agreement, which gave Frank McCourt sole ownership of the Dodgers, invalid and cleared the way for Jamie McCourt to seek half the team under California's community property law.
Jamie McCourt had asked Gordon to order the sale of the team and a hearing was set for Wednesday on that request.

He is always losing something. His keys, his phone, his iPod, his license, his bank card, his hat, his work shirt. Honey, have you seen the keys? I can't find my license. Where did those directions go? I lost my sunglasses.
When I was six months pregnant with my first daughter, he put the keys in my purse and promptly FORGOT. We didn't check it until hours of looking later. At that point we had already contacted the dealer to order new keys. I had missed work. We had called my sister-in-law down from New Hampshire to drive us to GET the new keys and screamed at each other. A lot.
For years, it drove me nuts. I would set up key hooks. We tried a bowl. Nothing I could do, no habit to ingrain, no trick I could teach, no job I could assign could stop him from losing his shit.
Then, one day it just dawned on me in one of those freeing moments where a chunk of that chip on your shoulder that you never admit exists falls away and you breathe deeper than you thought possible. Things like that just happen to him. It's just part of who he is. Loving him doesn't including saving him from all pain and aggravation. And I shouldn't expect him to change who he is. In surrendering to that, I noticed something really amazing.
He always finds what he thought was lost.

Fish fry afternoon
45 minute walk on inferno cement
to polluted ocean
on flush town border
remember when it was just me and you
tripping on Jules coffee
in our ghetto love nest
with our oven-ette
and three cats?
Diamond district house paint fume war
Feet slap uneven sidewalk
Storefront ghosts,
like old tyme moth ball ladies
holding bedraggled
parasols against the aging sun
save 3 dollars for ice cream sandwiches
and debate the bus ride back to
the center of the lost land
minorities and poverties
in walmart flip-flops and expensive
cars parked in front of
matchbox apartments
carved from mansions of founding sea fathers
when the ocean was king
not the city
the ocean was king
fishing was king of money
and diamonds were bought with the blood of boats
sweat is also salty
leaving the cast offs now to reclaim
the elemental home as their own
we smelled the ocean every single day,
then the garbage, then the cooking oil
and back in out bed/couch with our bowl/solace
I'd make you dinner and
we'd swear there was nothing
better than two rooms of
our own and freedom
near the ocean.

He kept them up last night till I got home from overtime. It was like heaven.
"Mommy! Mommy! I got all smiley faces!!"
"Mommmmmeeee mommmeeeee potty!"
She with the blackish brown eyes ran at me and hugged my belly.
The LittleOne ran at me and hugged my legs. A blond and brown pony tail met my eyes as I looked down at my babies, my growing, loving babies that I created. I carried. I care for.
"Ok, back here to finish your stories." My Love is beaming from the bed, knowing he did a nice, RIGHT thing, proud of himself for lasting ONE MORE DAY as a single dad while I work the 7 to 7 overtime. More money for our struggling family. The little pony tails bounce back to the bed. They climb up, but still face me, chattering like sparrows.
"Mommy, I have a splinter you need to get out." She with the blackish brown eyes shows me her soft palm, with a tiny sliver of wood in it. My heart soars. I AM the one who deals with splinters. He can't take it, but moms have to do the things that cause pain to create healing.
"Booboo! Booboo!" Not to be outdone, The LittleOne shows me a fresh shin bruise that I simply must kiss immediately.
Off to get the tweezers, my eyes fill a little. Yes, I'm tired (boy there should be a different word for HOW tired), so a little emotion is predictable.
But really, it was honest joy. Look at all my gifts…

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Please, please tell me you're not alone.
I've grown so used to it in time
that a broken heart is fine.
And please
Please please tell me I'm a fool
that I was never ever good to you.
By now a broken heart is nothing new.
Oh, by now a broken heart is nothing new.
Do I really want to go and raise the dead?
I really never listened very much anyway
There were so many things I just couldn't say to you
Oh, what a fool

This application claims priority to and is a continuation-in-part application of International Application Number PCT/US99/15616, filed Jul. 9, 1999, entitled Cable Lock With Security Insert, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/092,392, filed Jul. 10, 1998.
This invention relates generally to locking devices, and in particular to a method and device for the prevention of tampering with cable locking devices.
An example of a prior art cable lock 100 is depicted in FIG. 12. The cable lock includes an outer member 101 surrounding an inner member 102. A pair of channels 104 a and b are defined between inner and outer members 102 and 101, and a cable 106 is inserted into channels 104 a and b. Cable 106 is locked in place in channel 104 a by a disk 108 positioned on a ramp 110 defined on inner member 102. Prior to insertion of cable 106 into channel 104 a, disk 108 is biased toward a top end 112 of ramp 110 by a spring 114. The insertion of cable 106 forces disk 108 down ramp 110. If cable 106 is then retracted in a direction 118 shown in FIG. 12, disk 108 squeezes cable 106 and prevents its removal. A more detailed disclosure of the prior art depicted in FIG. 12 can be obtained in U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,583.
It has been discovered that prior art cable locks, such as cable lock 100 discussed above, suffer from several disadvantages. One of these disadvantages is the ease in which the presence of these security locks can be identified. These cable locks are often used to secure the contents of rail cars, semi-trucks, or other like vehicles. During the night-time hours, it can be a difficult and time-consuming job to check for the presence of these security locks on a vehicle, especially when there are numerous vehicles, as in the case of a train comprising a large number of rail cars. In the past, a person checking for the presence of these security devices has had to provide his or her own light source, such as a flashlight, and aim the light precisely at the lock in order to identify whether a security lock is present or not. This task can prove to be undesirably time consuming.
Another disadvantage of past cable locks are their susceptibility to being tampered with by determined thieves. The tampering occurs in one of two general ways. First, a hole may be drilled generally through a wall 116 located at an end of cable lock 100 (FIG. 12). The hole is drilled oriented toward disk 108. After completely drilling through wall 116, a pin or other suitable instrument is inserted into the drilled hole and used to push disk 108 down the ramp 110, overcoming the biasing force of spring 114. With disk 108 pushed down ramp 110, cable 106 can be retracted from channel 104 a by pulling in the direction indicated by arrow 118. The drilled hole is then filled with a metal putty or filler corresponding to the material of the lock, which makes detection of the tampering virtually impossible. A second type of tampering can occur by drilling a hole into one of the sides of cable lock in an area 120 adjacent disk 108. The hole is drilled through outer member 101. A pin or other instrument is again used to push disk 108 down ramp 110 and thereby allow cable 106 to be retracted. A metal filler or putty is used to conceal the hole.
The aforementioned two methods of tampering with cable locks allow thieves to gain access to the contents of whatever the cable lock is protecting with minimal chance of detecting at what point, in the chain of movement of the goods, the theft occurs. This reduces the chances of identifying the thieves or recovering the goods. If a cargo is being shipped a great distance and passes through multiple warehouses, it may be impossible to tell in which of the multiple warehouses the theft or other tampering occurred. It can therefore be seen that a cable lock overcoming these and other disadvantages is very desirable.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a security lock is provided having an inner member and an outer member surrounding the inner member. The inner member defines a ramp on which a disk is positioned for movement along the ramp. A security insert having increased hardness, when compared to the outer member, is inserted between the outer and inner members. The security insert includes a pair of side panels dimensioned to surround the area adjacent the ramp on which the disk moves. The security insert further includes an end panel oriented generally perpendicular to the side panels and dimensioned to cover a portion of the inner member adjacent the upper end of the ramp.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a security lock is provided having an inner member that includes a first and a second end wall. The inner member defines an inclined ramp disposed between the first and the second wall. The ramp extends upwardly from the first end wall to the second end wall. A disk is positioned on the inclined ramp and biased up the ramp by one end of a spring. The other end of the spring is secured to the inner member. An outer shell fits over the inner member. the disk, and the spring. The outer shell and the inner member define a first and a second channel when the outer shell is placed over the inner member. A drill resistant member is disposed in the second end wall. The drill resistant member is made up of a material that is more resistive to drilling than the inner member.
According to another aspect of the present invention. a security lock is provided that comprises a body which defines at least one channel. A flexible member, such as a wire, cable, or the like, is attached at one end to the body and has another free end. A locking structure is defined in the body that allows the free end of the flexible member to be inserted into the channel in a first direction, but prevents extraction of the flexible member out of the channel in a reverse direction. A photo-luminescent coating is defined on or in the body which absorbs light energy while in the presence of ambient light and emits light energy while in the presence of ambient darkness.
The improved cable lock of the present invention substantially overcomes the disadvantages discussed above. The photo-luminescent coating provides for an easy indication of the presence of the security device without the need for a separate source of light. The improved security lock also overcomes both of the tampering techniques discussed previously. The security insert is preferably manufactured from hardened or heat-treated steel, or other material suitably resistant to drilling. The security insert may simply be a flat plate inserted into the inner member adjacent the upper end of the ramp, or the security insert may comprise a three-walled member. When the security insert includes three walls, the side panels substantially prevent drilling through the sides of the lock to access and move the disk, while the end panel substantially prevents drilling through the end wall of the cable lock. By manufacturing the security insert from a suitably hard material. the material of the inner and outer member need not be changed, thus providing a cost-efficient tamper resistant cable lock. In another aspect of the invention, as applied to a cable lock device, a cylinder is swaged on the protruding end of the permanently secured cable end to prevent axial tampering of the cable to defeat the clamping of the permanent end. These and other benefits, results, and objects of the present invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art in light of the following specification, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 11 is a sectional, elevational view of the cable lock of FIG. 10; and
FIG. 12 is a sectional, elevational view of a prior art cable lock.
The present invention will now described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals correspond to like elements in the several drawings. A partial exploded assembly of components comprising a cable or security lock 10 according to the present invention is depicted in FIG. 1. Cable lock 10 includes an outer member or shell 12 which surrounds an inner member 14 and a security insert 16. Inner member 14 and security insert 16 are dimensioned to fit inside the interior of outer member 12. Inner member 14 includes a top 18 and bottom 20. Top 18 and bottom 20 are shaped to define channels first and second channels 58 and 60 between inner member 14 and outer member 12 when inner member 14 is inserted into outer member 12 (FIG. 10). The channels are designed to allow a cable 13 to be inserted therein. Inner member 14 further defines a ramp 22 on which a disk 24 (FIG. 11) is positioned. Ramp 22 includes an upper end 26 and lower end 28. Disk 24 is biased toward upper end 26 by a spring 56 (FIG. 11) inserted into a spring cavity 30 defined in inner member 14. When a cable is inserted into a channel defined by outer member 12 and top 18 of inner member 14, the cable pushes disk 24 down ramp 22 towards lower end 28. Any attempt to retract the cable from the channel in the opposite direction results in movement of disk 24 of ramp 22 where it tightly grips the cable and prevents its removal. The operation and interaction of inner member 14, outer member 12, and dish 24 with a cable are more fully described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,583 which is incorporated herein by reference.
Security insert 16, according to one embodiment, surrounds at least three sides of inner member 14 (FIGS. 1-6). Security insert 16 is a drill resistant member which is made of a material that is harder to drill through than either outer shell 12 or inner member 14. Security insert 16 includes a pair of side walls that are generally parallel to each other. Side walls 32 are connected to each other by an end wall 34 that is substantial perpendicular to side walls 32. Side walls 32 each include one or more downwardly depending flanges 36. Flanges 36 correspond to, and align with, one or more downward projections 38 located on bottom 20 of inner member 14. Downward projections 38 are adapted to securely grip a cable inserted in the channel defined between outer member 12 and bottom 20 of inner member 14. In addition to securing a cable in the lower channel, flanges 36 help retain security insert 16 in cable lock 10.
Inner member 14 is a zinc casting, and outer member 12 is currently made of aluminum. Security insert 16 is preferably made from steel. While it will be understood that security insert 16 can be made from other materials besides steel, it has been found that a material such as SAE 1095 annealed steel having a Rockwell "C" hardness of 47-50 has been found to be suitable in the current embodiment. Such a material provides a sufficient drill resistance to deter thieves. It will be understood, of course, that it is impossible to provide a security insert 16 manufactured from material that is absolutely impenetrable. The goal, however. is to provide a locking device that is sufficiently tamper resistant to require more tools and effort than a typical thief would normally be willing and able to procure and invest in tampering with the cable lock.
Disk 24 is pictured in FIGS. 7 and 8. Disk 24 includes a pair of side surfaces 40 and a peripheral surface 42. Peripheral surface 42 is preferably threaded to provide better gripping of the cable. While peripheral surface 42 can be threaded in a variety of shapes and configurations, peripheral surface 42 in the current embodiment has twenty four threads per inch.
In order to further protect against tampering, cable lock 10 according to one aspect of the present invention may include a cylinder 44 (FIG. 9) that is swaged onto the cable. Cylinder 44 is preferably swaged onto a section 46 of the cable as referenced in FIG. 11. The swaging of cylinder 44 onto the cable provides increased resistance to pulling the cable out of a channel, such as channel 60 in FIG. 11. Cylinder 44 helps prevent pullout in the direction indicated by arrow 122 in FIG. 11. Cylinder 44 includes a central bore 48 in which the cable resides after cylinder 44 has been swaged thereon. In the current embodiment, central bore 48 has a diameter of 0.20 inches prior to swaging. After swaging, the external diameter is compressed to approximately 0.375 inches. In the current embodiment it has been found that cable lock 10 equipped with cylinder 44 resists pullout of the cable up to approximately 1.9 tons of force. Cylinder 4 is made of aluminum in the current embodiment. It will be understood, of course, that other shapes, sizes, and materials can be used for cylinder 44.
According to another aspect of the invention, a security or cable lock 10′ is depicted in FIGS. 10 and 11. Components of security lock 10′ corresponding to lock 10 are referenced using the same numerals as security lock 10, where the prime symbol denotes a change from the embodiment of security lock 10. Security lock 16′ includes an outer shell 12′ which has a smaller interior than shell 12. The interior of outer shell 12′ is smaller than the interior of outer shell 12 due to the fact that the security insert 16′ of lock 10′ is located in a different position than security insert 16, and outer shell 16′ therefore does not have to accommodate for the same space. Lock 10′ includes a first and second end wall 52 and 54, respectively, which surround ramp 22. Security insert 16′ is a drill resistant member that is located in second end wall 52. Insert 16′ extends from first channel 58 into inner member 14 for a depth at least as deep as lower end 28 of ramp 22. Security insert 16′ provides security against drilling into inner member 14 from a position 62 located generally adjacent security insert 16′ (FIG. 11). Security insert 16′ may be oriented vertically with inner member 14, but is preferably oriented at an angle within inner member 14. The angled orientation of security insert 16′ provides increased resistance to drilling due to the fact that a drill bit acting against insert 16′ would not be able to attack insert 16′ at a perfectly perpendicular angle, which is the most effective angle for drilling. In the preferred embodiment, insert 16′ is made of hardened steel, although other metals can, of course, be used. Insert 16′ can be made of any metal which has a resistance to drilling which is greater than that of the material of inner member 14. As illustrated in Fit. 10, insert 16′ has a width which is equal to that of inner member 14 to thereby provide as complete of a shield as possible from drill attacks originating in area 62.
In either lock 10 or 10′, outer shell 12 can be coated with a photo-luminescent coating that absorbs light energy when in the presence of ambient light and emits light energy when in the presence of ambient darkness. The coating 50 (FIG. 10) can be placed around the entire exterior surface of outer shell 12. or it can be isolated along selected areas of outer shell 12. The photo-luminescent coating provides a visual indicator of the presence of the light during poor or absent lighting conditions. Alternatively, if outer shell 12 is manufactured from plastic or other like material, the photo-luminescence can be created by mixing a photo-luminescent powder into the plastic during manufacture. This provides a photo-luminescent exterior that is ingrained within the material of outer shell 12. This has the advantage of being resistant to wear. Such a photo-luminescent powder can be used within the outer structure of security locks, such as those disclosed in commonly assigned, copending application Ser. No 09/399,530, filed Sep. 20, 1999, entitled Self-Locking Wire Seal, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, a photo-luminescent coating can be applied to the exterior of such locks as are disclosed in this reference.
While the present invention has been described in terms of the preferred embodiments depicted in the drawings and discussed in the above specification, it will be understood by one skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to these particular preferred embodiments, but includes any and all such modifications that are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claim. As but one example, it will be understood that the present invention is equally applicable to locks utilizing clasps instead of cables. Other variations are, of course, possible.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Pro Bowl left tackle was coming back from injury, as were the solid, versatile veteran guard and the young, promising center.
So what happened?
Four weeks into the season, with their entire offensive line intact, the Philadelphia Eagles have allowed 14 sacks, third worst in the league, and have come under fire from first-year head coach Chip Kelly.
``There's not one thing,'' Kelly said of the team's protection issues. ``And there's not one answer that it's this, and if we make this adjustment, then we are going to be good.''
The return to health of left tackle Jason Peters, back from a twice-torn Achilles tendon; guard Todd Herremans, from a foot injury; and center Jason Kelce from a torn ACL, was supposed to make the Eagles strong on the line. The addition of first-round pick Lane Johnson from Oklahoma to man the right tackle spot was supposed to make them better.
Instead, the almost always reliable Peters has allowed a sack and 14 pressures in four games, or just three fewer than he allowed in all 16 games in 2011. Johnson has yielded four sacks and 13 pressures in his first four games.
``It's quite a change,'' Johnson said of going from college to the NFL. ``I was talking to Donald Stephenson (his former college teammate now with Kansas City). He told me you're going to get beat at times. It's how you do the next play. You have to be resilient.''
The Eagles' 14 sacks allowed have come with Michael Vick at quarterback. Vick's ability to run has probably allowed him to escape at least another three potential sacks.
``I think when we're throwing the football, there are a lot of elements involved,'' Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said. ``The first one starts with protection. I think when you look at it, the last two weeks we played against some pretty good fronts.
``And there are times, when you watch any game, there are times it's not a perfect pocket. Ideally, you want them to be able to take one step from the gun or three steps from the gun and be able to play it, hitch, and throw the football. There are a lot of times when that doesn't happen. We're very fortunate we have a guy like Michael who can escape and extend the play.''
The players know they have to perform better starting this Sunday against the winless New York Giants, who still have a solid front four and usually present a decent pass rush.
``We're not happy with the way we're playing,'' Kelce said. ``We've done some good things in the run game, but that's not enough. We can't just be one dimensional.
``The highest paid player, the most important player on the team, is usually the quarterback. And unless the offensive line is protecting him and giving him enough time, the offensive line isn't doing a good job.''
NOTES: Safety Patrick Chung, who missed Sunday's loss to Denver with a shoulder injury, was still limited in practice Wednesday. His status is day to day. Nickel cornerback Brandon Boykin was also limited in practice with a shoulder contusion. Kelly said he expected him back at practice Thursday.

I'm working on a website that contains pages that sometimes go up to 3 or even possibly 4 levels deep.
I'm wondering if there's a way set my permalinks to work so that the domain is shown, followed by the page name, instead of showing all parent page names in the URL. Here's an example:
So I have a page called "Page 1" and it has a child page "Page 1a" and that page has a child as well called "Page 1b" When you navigate to "Page 1b" the URL is: http://example.com/page1/page1a/page1b
I would like to force the permalinks to just show the current page in the URL, so the goal is to have the URL:
Look like this:
Is there a way to do that with a custom permalink setup that won't screw up anything on my site or with SEO friendly URLs?

The 2JZ powered Z32 built by C&Y Sports has adapted a much more aggressive looks since last we saw it. While it does look more the part, the cosmetics of this car aren't the only thing that's come a long way. The car, since 2013, has consistently improved it's lap times around the famous Fuji Circuit.

Close-Up: The Nagano Rush – Team Garage Mak Z33
I wonder if it's acceptable, in the off chance one falls victim to writer's block, to type freely their thoughts? I mean, this is a blog after all, and blogs are typically written in an informal or conversational style. It would be difficult to keep it informational to the topic however, if I were to just start spouting off about a random thought. In the case of the Garage Mak Z33, I could start typing about Nagano; the hometown of the shop. Or perhaps about the Miyagawa brothers, the two creative powerhouses behind the brand. I could always fall back to uncreatively (is that not a word?) listing off the modifications to the Z33. To be honest though, I'm pretty sure I've covered all that basic stuff in prior articles – it seems redundant to keep typing it. I could talk about how I was naked in a public bath again…does anyone even read this?

Vintage Wine Bar & Bistro Restaurant Review: Oenophiles flock to Vintage Wine Bar & Bistro, and with good reason. Hefty pours, a smart French bistro menu, informed servers and 60 wines by the glass give this handsome restaurant real star power. Many bottles are in the $30 range, another plus, as is the option to sample a trio of three-ounce pours in a mix and match wine flight. The décor includes a winsome wine bottle chandelier, exposed brick and moody lighting, adding up to a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. As for the cuisine, we recommend the fig and Gorgonzola bruschetta, Brie in puff pastry and the classic salad Nicoise --- olive oil-poached tuna, fried capers, haricots verts, roasted potatoes and chopped egg in an anchovy dressing. Or try one of the best burgers in town, topped with Cabot cheddar, even better paired with a nice Barolo. Feeling less carnivorous? Opt for an equally good house-made veggie burger.

Owner: Edna Plater
Market value: $41,200
Year built: 1890
Comments: This charming Irish green house was a beautiful residence when Edna Plater occupied it.
Now an abundance of weeds and grass cover the property.
In August the city of Cincinnati Department of Buildings and Inspections received a complaint that the building was open and someone was raising dogs in it, according to Edgar Pinkston, a city inspector. Pinkston and a neighbor inspected the house but found no signs of canines or trespassers. Several neighbors informed Pinkston that the owner is deceased.
Plater's will is in process at the Hamilton County Probate Court. Attempts to locate her relatives were unsuccessful.

Stuck at home with the kids this spring break? Don't fret! We've got three fun and eco-friendly activities designed to keep little hands busy, and parents smiling. Check out our top three affordable projects!
Spring Break Project #1: Recycled Crayons
If you're like most Moms, you've got a drawer (or two) full of broken crayons the kids won't touch. In stead of pitching them in the trash, use them to create new crayons in fun shapes! Here are the directions:
- Unwrap all of your crayons to be recycled. (You don't want any paper getting in your project!) Kids as young as 2 can help with this.
- Find a suitable crayon mold. Any non-stick bakeware will work (like muffin tins, or special mini-cake molds.) We especially love the stuff made of silicone! Be sure to spray it with a nonstick baking spray or line with tin foil to prevent sticking. Then begin selecting various colors of crayon "chunks" to fill each mold. (You can choose like colors or something completely crazy!)
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 300 degrees. With an adult's help, place the trays into the oven and bake just until all the crayons have melted.
- Remove the crayons and allow them to cool before using!
NEXT: Spring Break Activity #2

What Just Happened Here?
The Loss to Lowly Seattle Has the Giants Searching for Answers; Job 1: Stop the Run
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—Following what has become an ugly annual trend, the Giants came home off a big road win, played ugly—five turnovers ugly —and put one in the loss column that they couldn't afford to.
The schedule only gets tougher from here on out. And after last year's 10-6 record left them shy of the playoffs, they know they'll now have to win at New Orleans or beat Green Bay or take one game they're not "supposed" to in order to make up for Sunday's 36-25 loss to Seattle.
But projecting where the wins will come from, or if the Giants can still win a division with an Eagles team in freefall and a confusing Cowboys team, is ultimately pointless now. Before any of that speculation, the Giants need to figure this run-defense thing out.
"You have to be able to stop the run," coach Tom Coughlin said, simply and strongly because, really, that's all it is.
The Giants are giving up 122.2 yards on the ground a game, which ranks 21st in the league. But that number is skewed. In the season's first two games, the Redskins and Rams had 45 carries between them—and managed just 119 yards.
In the last three games, opponents are averaging nearly five yards a carry. The Eagles rushed for 177 yards, the Cardinals 156 and the Seahawks, who came in with the league's second-worst run game, tagged the Giants for 149 yards.
"It's not all the same [mistake]," said Mathias Kiwanuka, the starting linebacker who also plays defensive end—and played more of the latter Sunday. "If it was, we'd just get the guy out of there."
For comparison's sake, the Giants ranked eighth against the run last year (allowing 101.2 yards per game) and seventh in total defense (they're 20th right now). Only four players crossed the 100-yard rushing mark then. This year, the Eagles' LeSean McCoy and Cardinals' Beanie Wells already have and Marshawn Lynch was just two yards shy from doing so Sunday.
"It's just such small things. We're killing ourselves," defensive tackle Rocky Bernard said after watching the film Monday. "It's a guy peeking inside when you're supposed to stay outside, playing the right leverage, playing the right technique. It's just such little things that are destroying us right now."
The Giants are missing returning middle linebacker Jonathan Goff and physical cornerback Terrell Thomas, both of whom tore their ACLs, from last year's unit. Justin Tuck, he team's most versatile defensive end, missed a second straight game with a neck injury.
But as tackle Chris Canty said Sunday, "You play with who you have." Bernard, Kiwanuka and Tuck all said the Giants' problems are not personnel, but rather the basics of football.
"It's one of those things where you're in practice and say, 'I'll get it, I'll get, I'll get it.' Well at some point, you have to get it. It doesn't just happen for you Sunday," Bernard said. The "it," he said, is gang-tackling and assignment discipline.
"It's something you have to just trust. 'Hey, this is my gap, I'm going to stay here. I can try and make this play [in another gap], but I'm going to stay where I'm supposed to be and trust that the guy who's supposed to make this play is going to make this play,'" he said.
That's why Kiwanuka scoffed at the idea that the Giants' game plans are perhaps faulty. The Giants do play a lot of two-linebacker/three-safety sets to minimize the big plays that frequently gored them last season.
But from defensive end Osi Umenyiora to Deon Grant, one of those safeties, the Giants say that personnel alignment isn't why they've struggled so in stopping the run.
They prepped for the no-huddle offense Seattle promised it would play and did, but their inability to make as many substitutions as they usually do because of that wasn't an issue, either, Kiwanuka said.
"Regardless of what the scheme is, players need to step up and take responsibility," he said. "You can always outplay the scheme, but you can never out-scheme the player….If you have a guy who's just out there not playing correctly, it doesn't matter how good the call is."
Bernard affirmed that, saying, "Coaches are human. You can't be put in the perfectly right position every single play, but you always have to play above the Xs and Os. You just have to go out and make plays."
Which right now, the Giants sometimes do—like on their goal-line stop, where Bernard came up with a fumble. Or Aaron Ross' interception. But the Giants also sometimes don't, and so before any finger-pointing starts, safety Kenny Phillips said, they have to figure out "how to stop the run. That's it."
