Hi, My homepage is not loading with the gallery that I specified on the Admin > Theme setting. It is displaying the 404 error page instead. I deleted my cache and still seeing this error. Any ideas?
Please switch to default Wordpress permalink setting.
I'm still getting the same error even after I switch to the default Wordpress permalink setting.
Issue resolved now. Thanks!
How can I show the names of media in a gallery when opened?
Sorry, I am not sure I understand you correctly, could you send me some screenshots with description please?
I'm looking to add a title for each image from this gallery: http://ksteenson.com/available-paintings/
When an image is clicked on and opened, I'd like to have the image name/description shown.
Sorry It doesn't support that. I will consider to add it into the future if there are many requests from customers.
Inregards to the social icons that link to your vimeo,facebook & twitter is there anyway to add a youtube icon?
You have to add custom HTML to header.php
would it be just a hyperlink image?
This is a great theme, and I really like it. But I have one question for now:
Is there any way we can add a bar like the black one at the top of Live Preview pages? Because I think that looks really cool.
Thank you very much for your time.
Sorry, it needs a custom modification. This type of customization is a bit more complex and is not covered under normal theme support.
If you're interested in hiring a developer for building out this custom page template for you, we highly recommend to check out: Tweaky
how can i remove the 'Continue Reading' link that shows up on the default blog page? i want the full posts to show.
You have to edit PHP code in blog.php to change that.
Just purchased your theme and trying to figure things out. Not sure how you're setting the 'homepage' flow gallery. Is the theme over-riding the wordpress->settings->reading default? How do you actually set the homepage for your theme? Next if you look at the homepage for my site http://kristakov.com/journal you'll notice that the copyright message in the footer is not displaying properly, or more appropriately, the flow gallery isn't because I have to tweak the CSS to get it to move down and not overlap the menu. If I don't adjust it I can't even use the menu. So far, I'm a little dismayed that I can't even get the front page to render properly. I'm assuming you have a fix for this? I've also noticed that my column galleries with the exception of the thumbnail gallery don't render properly either. So what exactly is going on here? I have to assume this has something to do with the pictures in the gallery? If not, this theme has a lot of problems.
Open Wordpress admin > Settings > Reading > Front page display select "Your latest posts". Then you can setup homepage gallery using Core admin > Homepage.
Provide URL of your columns gallery page please.
How do I set the size of the post and page title font? The CSS has it set at 120px but if I change is in the screen.css file the page overwrites it in the CSS for each page and forces it to 120px. I want it to be 84px.
While I'm on the issue of fonts, the fonts panel in the 'core' admin panel is USELESS! There's a small rectangle to manually set <h>tags, etc. but I can't input anything there. Don't even think the change in global font works. Nothing on that page makes any difference on the site.
Really need answers to this stuff. It's slowing me down trying to figure out what's wrong. Why am I having so many headaches with pieces of this theme?
Open Core admin > Font > Page Header Font Size.
I would have done this if I could actually set the font size on the admin->font page. Trying to figure out how to upload a picture to this comment thread so you can see what I'm talking about. The input fields on this page are tiny rectangles (just an outline of a very tiny box) and I don't get a cursor inside the box that let's me input a value to save as a change.As
I can't get the map shortcodes to work. I can see the map container but the map never appears. I've tried it using a copy of the shortcode provided off your example site and nothing works. There's an awful lot stuff here that doesn't appear to work. Please answer my questions so I can get on with things.
Hey man, try to respect author when you are asking for FREE support during holiday my friend.
This theme sold 7,700 times and there are demo site works fine. So I am very SURE it's incorrect setting on your site. I want to help you solve the issue but you are rude and keep blaming others which is not help anyone.
May be you don't know, but we are NOT obliged to give support – However, we always do it for the purchasers with the right attitude.
Actually, the theme selling 7700 times was the reason I bought it. It's a nice theme, I've just been having problems with it. I'm doing my best to work around issues without bothering you, but when it comes to obvious stuff not working I'm clueless (and I'm not dumb). Sorry for the irritation. As for attitude, when I spend $45 on software I typically would expect the vendor to back the product with support. At least initially. So back to the problem which still exists. I've used your contact page and the shortcode directly lifted from your example: [map width="640" height="300" lat="13.782069" long="100.48645" zoom="2"] As you can see here: http://www.kristakov.com/journal/kristakov-contact-page/ I get no map when the page is rendered. Any ideas how to correct this?
Next question. I've turned on the social icons and music. As soon as I did the menu changed location. I had to reduce the menu items to try to level the social icons with the menu. The icon for the music doesn't display the same as your example site. It doesn't work either. I've loaded all three types of encodings for music and set it to autoplay. It doesn't work. I'm really beginning to feel screwed with this purchase. almost everything I start to work with becomes more work trying to fix things. Can you please advise me as to how I can use the logo block as I have it and get the header stuff looking correct?? Are you really telling me that I have to have a logo that's microscopic to get your css and templates to work nice together?http://www.kristakov.com/journal
Lot's of problems here. Please answer!
It's because you install another 3rd party plugin which replace theme DEFAULT MUSIC ICON. PLEASE DISABLE ALL PLUGINS.
Also theme has standard size of 960px and your logo is very large so it pushes menu down. Reduce your logo width or menu items. There is NOT ENOUGH space.
I have tried to upload this file to wordpress, but I get this message:
Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed.
I tried to use winace, as suggested, but with the same results.
Update… I just uploaded the "core" zip folder instead of the entire zip folder and it worked.
I have everything working pretty well, and I love your template so far! I like how your menu is justified to the left. Mine is centered on the page, and if I shrink the page size, the menu items move down below my logo and get concealed beneath the homepage gallery images. I don't see any settings in CORE in wordpress to change this, and I can't find it anywhere else, either. I want my menu and logo to be positioned just as it is in the demo. Help please?
Which version of theme you use please? The menu by default is aligned to left next to main logo. If you didn't change any CSS code.
I just downloaded the file two days ago, so whatever version that you have on Themeforest.
Hello. I write because I have problems with the video of the index, I get that video cut apart and sometimes not let me go to the menu above for which everything turns black. Please I want a solution Thanks, Here I leave the link. http://enfoqueactivo.com/atienza
It's standard way of every fullscreen theme works. Automatically adjust background video (cropped or zoom) to fit with user screen resolution otherwise it won't call "fullscreen" theme
If you look at my explorer web is wrong. neither
Is there any way to add EXIF data to our photo? Now the only way to add caption to our photos is changing the "file name" in the media gallery. Caption, Alternative text or Description doesn't work. Do you know if there is ax EXIF plugin that work with your theme? Thanks.
Sorry It doesn't support that. I will consider to add it into the future if there are many requests from customers.
Hello there, Thanks for the great theme, it's been working perfect until I updated to wordpress 3.5. I also followed the instructions for updating to the most current theme as well. I am getting a jquery error when trying to advance the homepage gallery using the rotate option. See the screen cap here: http://screencast.com/t/3C3oySOZr
And the page it self here: http://www.anglocoutureline.com/
Thanks in advance!
The latest version of theme which fix issues on Wordpress 3.5 is available to download.
Download from Themeforest > your account > downloads and replace all theme's files and folders using FTP account with the new version.
However rotate gallery doesn't support on WP 3.5 but I will look for the solution.
I can't seem to find your support forum. I am not getting any e-mails send from my contact form in Core. I just realized this and I'm worried I have lots a lot of clients. My website is www.twinsatori.com/contact-us
Please help!!
Could you enable contact form so I can test please.
Also, the visual editor is not longer working for any of the pages/posts. I can only format in the text/html side of the dialogue box. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Police search for gas station attempted robber in Waterford Township
(WXYZ) - The Waterford Police Department is asking for the public's help to find the man who attempted to rob a Sunoco gas station on July 29 around 9:56 p.m.
Police say the suspect entered the business when the clerk was getting ready to close down for the night. The suspect then pointed a gun at the clerk and told him to give him the till.
The clerk refused, saying that the gun was fake. Police say the suspect then grabbed the clerk and attempted to strangle him before fleeing the gas station on foot.
The suspect was wearing a blue Detroit Tigers hooded sweatshirt, black running pants, white shoes and had a bandanna partially covering his face.
If you have any information regarding this incident, please call police.

Growth in inflation-adjusted earnings, 1979-2004
November 01, 2005
Growth in earnings for white women has outpaced that for their black and Hispanic or Latino counterparts over the past 25 years.
Between 1979 and 2004, inflation-adjusted weekly earnings for white women grew fairly steadily, from $444 to $584 (32 percent). Earnings over the period grew from $408 to $505 (24 percent) for black women and from $379 to $419 (11 percent) for Hispanic or Latino women.
In contrast, real earnings for white and for black men rose only slightly, while those for Hispanic or Latino men fell by 9 percent.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. Earnings data in this article are median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. The Consumer Price Index research series using current methods (CPI-U-RS) was used for the inflation adjustment; the inflation-adjusted earnings are in 2004 dollars. For more information see "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2004," BLS Report 987 (PDF 196K).

Ubisoft's oft-delayed open world techno thriller "Watch Dogs" finally has a release date, the French publisher announced Thursday via a new trailer on the game's official Facebook page.
Officially releasing worldwide May 27, the game will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A Wii U version has been confirmed, but has been delayed until some time after June, the publisher said.
The date was revealed at the end of a three minute trailer that finally introduces players to the game's main protagonist, Aiden Pearce, who is caught up in a web of intrigue after breaking into a high tech office and stealing a bunch of data. He discovers a cabal of corrupt cops, politicians and shady Illuminati figures running the near-future Chicago. His only way of combating the conspiracy is through the use of a phone that can "turn the city into a weapon," as one of the characters says.
"Watch Dogs" was revealed at E3 2012 and originally scheduled as a launch title for the next-generation consoles before being delayed less than a month before launch for quality reasons.

great execution!
Good times
umh.."Were the knight's that say:NIII!!!!" ..Excellent detail work
I just love these organic looking creatures you dream up. Wonderful!
Very primal-looking. I really like how organic his armor and sword are - a very appropriate, conscious design choice. Any particular sources of inspiration?
thanks! ye i like his armor/sword as well, didnt really have any sources of inspiration.. my plan was just to make it look "foresty"
really great,I love it
I like the details!
Wow that's awesome!!
Oh, I thought this might have been a play on the Green Knight that, I believe, Gawain fought. Regardless it's very nicely done and I love the concept.
His arm is too short anyways really impressive
really nice one
the concept of mimetization,enormous but still quiet raw strenght..summons a lot of sensations. for me at least
Wonderfully done, there is detail in every spec of this work, Its like there is a thousand year story to go with it.

Sam and I went exploring one rainy afternoon in the middle of the week - so it was pretty much deserted!
Despite the nasty fluorescent lighting we decided to go ahead and photograph alongside the incredible taxidermy cases...
These photos are so beautiful! Such a lovely atmosphere to them. And I love your ring!ReplyDelete
I really enjoy all these photos; I love visiting natural history museums and your outfit is perfect. I especially like the shoes.ReplyDelete
For some reason, I love photos taken in museums :) Your shoes are really pretty!ReplyDelete
i love your make up and outfit, you look like a little china doll :) xxReplyDelete
I love these museum pictures so much and your outfit is adorable too. I'm kind of in love with your new silver flats. I need a pair like those! They'd go with everything. I also really like your fur stole. It doesn't look like a neck brace! It's very cute.ReplyDelete
adore these photos, and loving all the grey on you!ReplyDelete
These photos look so great ! I especially love the shoes and skirt !ReplyDelete
Could you tell me what makeup you are wearing? I find it so difficult to find makeup that matches my pale skin. Also the lipstick looks perfect-red.
Definitely my new favorite post on this blog! I will definitely go here myself the next time I need a little seaside Brighton break.
Cute playlist, Cute outfit.ReplyDelete
The Kakapo is a New Zealand native bird. If you're a bit of an ornithologist, you should read up on NZ's natives because they are so very interesting. Because we were so isolated for so long, birds evolved to fill pretty much every ecological niche that was filled by other types of animals, like rodents and masupials and amphibians and so on, in other parts of the world. So instead of rats and mice, we had flightless birds who filled similar ecological roles. There are some super awesome birds in our history, such as the now-extinct Moa, which was a sort of like a 3 or 4m-tall flightless bird sort of like a huge emu, or the Haast's eagle, which was so massive that it swooped down and picked up Moa to eat.
Little natural history gossip there :) I love the shoes and the velvet shorts, very 20s showgirl-esque.
And don't forget the Kea, the naughtiest mountain parrot!!!
Gorgeous post.
Transforming the fur stole into a highly covetable neck brave looks awesome :) I can't get enough of the grey tights and silver Mary Janes!ReplyDelete
OMG ! REALLY INCREDIBLE PICS! I LOVE THIS POST is so perfect...colours, objects, and your outfit! amazing atmosphere between still life, your silver mary jane and grey! good jobReplyDelete
Awww, that is the cutest outfit, you look like a storybook heroine! <3ReplyDelete
I am way into all those dead animals. I think I need to visit.ReplyDelete
Firstly, incredible outfit. Secondly, gorgeous setting - I want to go there! Thirdly...the photography is genius. Perfect composition and colour and ah I love it
this post is fabulous! and I think that the fluffy necklace scarf/ brace looks fantastic on you. beautiful shots, xxxxReplyDelete
The photo of you in front of the birds is incredible; like something from a film! What a wonderful photographer (and model!)ReplyDelete
Love these pictures! Love your blog! Lauren from Paddling In PuddlesReplyDelete
You look like a pretty doll
Great post loving the coat http://www.3starsabove.comReplyDelete
I didn't realise there was a natural history museum in Brighton! I can't wait to go and explore it now, thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
Like I need anymore reasons to come down and visit you! We need to make it happen this summer... I had no idea this museum existed. I think that first picture is now officially my favourite one of yours (I think I say that on all your outfit posts ha ha ), so atmospheric and it's got a smouldering 1920's vibe to it. xxReplyDelete
What a great canvas for your outfit. I was (hopefully) wondering, was the title of your post a reference to The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket? *fingers crossed* either way, this set was so en pointe!ReplyDelete
It is indeed Lemony Snicket! ;-)Delete

Our 2012 Fairest of the Fair Contestants (L-R): Olivia Schroeder, 2013 Jr. Fairest Lilly Radzikinas, 2013 Fairest Katie Chapman, Danielle Baker. (Photo submitted)
Chapman, Radzikinas Elected as County Fairests
Recently two local women, 18 years of age or older, competed to be the 2013 Marquette County Fairest of the Fair. Katie Chapman and Danielle Baker had to prepare for an interview, make up a 30 second radio broadcast promoting the fair, and answer and impromptu question all in front of a panel of three judges.
On behalf of the Marquette County Fair, the committee thanked Harlan Baumgartner of Rio, Mary Cupery of Portage, and Diane Harbort of Sun Prairie for volunteering their time to elect the new ambassadors of the fair. This year's interview portion took place at the Pioneer Motor Inn, in Westfield. After this portion was completed, the competition moved to the fairgrounds where the contestants presented their radio broadcast and answered their question in front of the volunteers of the fair.
Along with the Fairest competition, there was also a Jr. Fairest competition. These contestants were between the ages of 10 and 13 and had to participate in an interview and answer an impromptu question in front of the fair volunteers. Lily Radzikinas and Olivia Schroeder were our contestants this year for the Jr. Fairest of the Fair position. At the end of the night it was announced that this year's 2013 Marquette County Fairest of the Fair is Katie Chapman. The 2013 Jr. Fairest of the Fair was announced as Lily Radzikinas.
All of the contestants did an excellent job. It is the Fairest's and Jr. Fairest's duty to represent and promote the Marquette County Fair. Please join our Fairests at this year's Marquette County Fair, July 10-14 in Westfield. For more info on the fair please visit their website at www.marquettecountyfairwi.org. See you at the fair!

The Emerald Ocean has had enough of Brigand King tyranny! No more, say the kings and queens of Delirium, Scupper, Fresh Tarts, Fresh Kebab, Illuminatti, and probably several other flags not mentioned here! No more, say the captains of their constituent crews! Even the cabin people raise their deck-swabbing mops in defiance and shout, No more!
And that, Best Beloved, is what the blockade scene looks like on the Emerald Ocean: almost entirely consisting of Brigand Kings defending their ill-gotten gains against player flags. There's a bit of that happening on the Jade Ocean, too, as Velo Negro comes under attack on Isla Ventress by a flag who... well, I don't know much about them, but it would appear they are very silly.
As always, scroll down below the customary notes for the full schedule, which will be complete and up to date after noon Pirate Time. Good luck, me hearties! Throw down the tyrants! Pew pew pew!
Standard reminders: Schedule is given in Pirate Time, or U.S. Pacific. Player flags link to Yoweb information pages; Brigand King Flags link to Yppedia Brigand King pages. BK amassed power given in parenthetical numbers, like so: (14). For more info about jobbing contacts, jobber pay, and Event Blockade battle board configuration, check the Blockade tab of your ocean's Notice Board. To get hired, apply under the Voyages tab.

Eye trauma refers to any injury to the eye. It is a regular event in children and a common cause of loss of vision. Prevent Blindness America states that toys and playground equipment cause more than 11,000 injuries to children's eyes each year. Trauma from sports is very common. Some of the more recurrent injuries occur during the following activities:
Other common causes of trauma to the eye include the following:
Any trauma to the eye of your child should be considered a medical emergency, and immediate medical care is necessary. Often, a younger child with an injury to the eye may need to be examined in the operating room under general anesthesia. Ophthalmologists (physicians who specialize in comprehensive eye care) are usually involved in the care of children with eye trauma.
There are many different types of eye trauma that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.

Public forum: Peter Sanders of Stop Stansted Expansion gave a presentation.
Signs: The clerk is to chase agencies about changing the signs on the A120 from the A130 to B1008 to direct traffic away from Barnston.
Extra parking: Uttlesford Council is to be asked if it was possible to have additional car parking spaces in Rayfield Close.
Clerk's report: The clerk had asked highways if it could cut back the hedge on High Easter Road which is overhanging cables and then charge the cost to the utility companies. This is not possible.
The clerk is still waiting for road markings in the area of Parsonage Lane, before the School House, to be refreshed and an additional slow marking added on the approach to the School House.
The clerk had spoken to highways and it was going to chase the contractors to prioritise the job.
Various pathways had been resurfaced in the village and edges tidied up as part of the highways planned parish visit.
A response was awaited from highways to a request to replace the barriers at the end of the Rayfield Close footpath.
It was noted that a rotten post had been removed and bark put down in the Watts Close play area.
The safety mats under the slides in both play areas had been jet washed and the bench repaired in the village hall play area.
Dog fouling in both play areas was still occurring. The clerk had additional signs from Uttlesford Council to put up.
The handywoman had removed graffiti from one of the bus stops.
The clerk is to investigate the possibility of applying for a diversion of the footpath in the Watts Close play area and the cost of fencing off the footpaths.
Wages: It was agreed to pay the handywoman £7.50 an hour from September and offer her a permanent contract. It was also resolved to pay the clerk £10.60 an hour, backdated to April.
Stile on footpath three at Barnston Stud: Highways had visited the landowner and there was some uncertainty as to who owned the land with the stile. Highways is to investigate.
Invitation: The clerk is to invite Charlotte Fellingham, public rights of way officer at Essex County Council, to a meeting.
Next meeting: October 13, at 7.45pm.

New Categories and Lapped Riders
Submitted by David on
With the increased popularity of cyclocross comes larger field sizes. Also with the popularity comes additional categories (i.e. Men 35+/3s, SingleSpeed etc). These additional categories are easily added by having the new category start 30 seconds to a minute behind the established category. A couple unintended consequences occur from these added categories. The first consequence is the dilution of other fields. For instance, the addition of the 35+/3s has taken away from the 35+ and the 3s. The second consequence is lapped riders.
What is interesting is there has been quite a bit of talk about how to handle lapped riders. This issue is not a Colorado issue but happens at all levels and all around the country. When talking about lapped riders people usually bring up the 80% rule. Here is an explanation of the rule from the USA Cyling Rulebook
5G1. Before the start of a race, it should be announced whether lapped riders will be pulled or remain in the race. If riders are to be pulled, the following applies:
(a) Riders who have been lapped shall continue the lap to a designated location before the finish line and withdraw, under the control of the officials.
(b) The Chief Referee may, after consulting with the organizer, impose the 80% rule. Under this rule, riders whose time gap to the race leader is at least 80% of the race leader's time for the first lap will be pulled by the officials unless it is the final lap. The number of 80% is merely an approximation based on a typical course; the intent is that all riders should be pulled before they are lapped.
(c) Riders who have been pulled because of lapping or the 80% rule will be listed in the results based on their position when pulled and the number of laps remaining. The results will list the number of laps remaining after the lap on which they were pulled.
Here are two comments from racers in other parts of the country. From Jared Roy who is racing in the Portland area:
The 80% rule sucks for the Master 1 racers because we race with the Pro/1/2 guys who start a minute ahead of us, so we are always in danger of the 80% rule.
From Steve Tilford:
This rule is for lazy officiating. It's just a bad rule all around. What if a rider loses 60% the first lap. He is going to be lapped for sure the next lap, but the rule doesn't apply.
Here are two tweets referencing the rule. So what do you think? Should the ACA enforce the 80% rule? Are these new categories causing problems?

Oh, sorry if anyone
Submitted by Colin (not verified) on
Oh, sorry if anyone misunderstood what I mean. I don't fault the ACA at all. It is not a policy to auto upgrade so no fault until it is changed. I fault the riders that know they shouldn't be in that class. It comes down to wanting to be at the front vs. mid pack I think. Always more fun to be at the front of a race for sure. It is frustrating to hear people say that they might take it a bit easier this race so they don't have to upgrade.... heard that a few races ago from someone. All most of us can do, or have the free time to do, is get better and upgrade ourselves. I would rather finish 20th in Cat 3 then be 3rd in Cat 4.

There's always the Open
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The biggest gripe last year was the size of the 35+ 4's field. So, the ACA made a new category they would be "comfortable" with and upgraded a bunch of racers (some of whom were well away from upgrading). That has lead to a bunch of racers on the course (35 & 35/3) with a hell of a spread of fitness/handling/etc. Really, the same thing can be seen in the SW open/35+ (esp. if KFC shows up), SM4, and SM35/4 (I was quite happy when I went from being lapped to lapping in the 4's).
Personally, I think 10 minute courses could solve a lot of the issues, but if very pointy end of the 35+ field can't manage to lap people cleanly, there's always the Open race.

Premature upgrades
Submitted by Robert (not verified) on
I was one of those riders that was given a premature upgrade. The though process behind quickly upgrading "sandbaggers" is rediculous. Yes there are a few riders out there that are extremely talented and rightly deserve their upgrade. But it seems that upgrades should be a consistant and mathmatical process. Because someone wins a few races, does not mean that they are sandbagging. It means they won a few races. Why do we have BAR, BAT, BCR competitions when nobody actually gets to stay in a catagory long enough to win. Its sad when the 8th place rider becomes the BAR due to evryone ahead of him being forced to upgrade to "make room".
In my case, my results were all over the board. 23rd, 47th, 15th, 8th, 32nd, 7th, 11th, and a couple DNF's. Guess what....I was upgraded. Now....I am discouraqed to even show up. Its one thing to pay $30 to race, or even pay $30 to come in last place which I have no problem doing because I love to race.....BUT! when you force me to upgrade, and then pull me from the race because we are riding 6 minute laps with a huge diversity of abililties.....that's a problem.
Solution? Upgrades should be point based, with larger starting fields contributing to a larger and deeper points earning. Someone that races 20 races with an average placing of 20th-30th should not be upgraded.
There needs to be a CAT-5 accross the board. and it should be mandatory to attend at least 1 ACA skills clinic in the catagory that you are seeking an upgrade (Cat4-5).
We should be encouraging beginners, women, children and newbies to race. And they should be racing in a beginner class.
If you really want to encourage people to race, and develope new riders. The ACA should establish a mentoring program, where experienced riders can volunteer to teach and mentor new riders in exchange for assistance with race fees. Help those who help others.
So now I am racing with the sharks.....and have yet to experience a top 5 result let alone an actual win. Must be nice.

Race Day Schedule and Length of Days
Submitted by Boups (not verified) on
In my struggles to manipulate the schedule of the Colorado Cross Classic to accommodate all categories AND have them occur during daylight hours I realized that there are not enough hours in the day. On September 20th sunset is at 6:01pm. On December 1st sunset is at 4:36pm. Would it make sense to race the "development categories" early in the season and then as the weather turns foul, which contributes to lower turn outs, transition the riders to the standard category system? Perhaps the two Cat 3 categories can be treated as leagues, each with a champion and then everyone merges, upgrades, or races a different category.
I appreciate all categories that come out to race and explain to my friends looking to get into the sport that there aren't any easy categories during the day. I do, personally, love to see guys/gals taking a chance and occasionally racing above his/her head. Nothing forces one to strive to be better than a good ass whooping AND learning from the experience (ie. watching the lines that the better racers take and the way they flow through the course).

Sounds Good
Submitted by Craig (not verified) on
I like the idea of trimming/merging categories as the season progresses, weather gets colder and numbers drop. The downside would be, what do you do with the points for the cross cup series if you merge 4s and 35+ 4s and/or merge 3s and 35+ 3s into one race of 4s and 3s respectively? I think you started to touch on it in your comment, it would be interesting to see if it could be completely fleshed out. For what it's worth, I'm under 35 and don't care that much if my fields are 120 or 20 strong, I will be out there either way.

Sounds Good
Submitted by Comptonius (not verified) on
I bet with the fancy new uber expensive timing system ACA made us buy and promoters use (funny how 5K's, 1/2 marathons, etc. all use timing chips but they don't have to buy a chip or get a license for that matter!), it would be easy to calculate points for all of the normal categories even if you need to combine the starts due to time restrictions.

Boups is my hero
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
My suggestion: run 3's, 35/3's, and SS together in the normal 35+ open time and run the 35+ open with the open (30 sec after). Yes the 35+ field might not like it, but that was the set-up for queens of cross and it worked (with some 3's in the field).
Or get some big ass lights and run the open races in the dark!!!

Good thought
Submitted by Carl (not verified) on
Boups' suggestion makes sense. Every year, field sizes drop dramatically after the Boulder Cup weekend as riders burn out, weather gets worse, days get shorter, holidays approach, etc. This may be even more prevalent this year if people choose to skip frigid Nationals in Madison. Already the field sizes are smaller, what will happen in Nov/Dec--10 per category? That's pointless for everyone.
Personally, I went straight from 35+/4 to 35+ Open. I spent plenty of races getting lapped. Now I'm psyched if I can finish upper mid pack. Racing faster guys makes me faster, and I'd much rather have larger fields. I've been disappointed seeing the watering down of two fields with decent turnout into three meager ones. At some point, we're no longer racing, just individually riding around in circles.
As for lapped riders, it seems that some instruction at the start line may be in order, letting riders know they need to yield if they are OTB. When I was getting lapped, I always preferred at least getting to finish. Think people just need a reminder for a few weeks, then reevaluate if further action needs to be taken.

The point is to encourage racing...
Submitted by Adam (not verified) on
We really need to re evaluate a lot of the current categories. The whole point is to encourage racing with comparable racers, not make people feel good about their results by diluting the categories. In my opinion (and that's all it is) 35+ 3's is just that. A feel good category. It doesn't attract new racers. If you can keep up, race 35+, if not race 3's. Even though it's a popular category, it has just gained its racers at the expense of the other two fields. 35+ and/or 3's were never at risk of consistently hitting field limits like was the case when 35+ 4's were created to alleviate the overwhelming size of the 4's field.
To add to the questionable nature of this new category is that it's run at the same time as the 35+. I would think that it would make more sense to run the two at a separate time so that a racer could race both 35 open and 35+ 3's or 35+ 3's and SM3's. But it just seems redundant.
I agree with the need for more beginner categories. A beginner mens and beginner womens 30 min race would encourage more new racers. Another category that does make sense would be a Singlespeed B's race run at 1 min after the Sm4's race. There is a huge level of disparity in the current SS race, almost to the point of being unsafe.
As far as upgrading and sandbagging, I also think that there shouldn't be a Beginner, B's, or any Cat 4 State Champions. A points competition seems ok as long as a racer with 4 top 5's or 6 top 10's is required to upgrade and forfeits their points and position in the points competition.
Just my opinion.

Surprised at where this conversation did NOT go
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful comments on this topic but I'm surprised at where this conversation did not go and that is in two directions;
1. Lapped riders. Are courses too short by design and hence promotes the lapped rider problem? I imagine there is already some rule on the books that says a course must be x miles or x minutes in length so could this rule be increased? Longer courses would reduce the ability for lapping to take place... not preventing.
2. Course design. Having large fields is great, matter of fact one of my best races ever had well over 100 racers in my category... but it also had 5 lanes and no center line rule which meant they could have packed in another 100 riders if they wanted to. Now that was road but the concept carries over, should a course be required to have something like 50% of double track on it? For those who have raced in those 60+ fields sometimes in those very single track centric courses the first lap is just a parade lap and then lap 2 the racing really starts.

While installing baseboard molding you come to a corner that is so tight you can only install a 1 inch piece of baseboard on one leg of the corner; what do you do. You could just slide the baseboard molding into the corner and hope nobody will see it or you could make it look professionally done. If you are like most people you will want it to look like it was done by a professional.
In the accompanying slide show you will see a relatively easy way to turn the corner with the baseboard molding making it look as if you knew exactly what you were doing. If you are lucky enough to have a disk or belt sander this job will go much smoother. Even without a disk or belt sander it can be done with hand tools along with a good dose of elbow grease. In the end, with care, you will produce work you will be proud to show off to your friends.

To some people, poet Allen Ginsberg could represent everything that's wrong with America; some of them might have been among the small number of people who walked out at the intermission of Friday night's performance of Hydrogen Jukebox by Skylight Music Theatre (unless they were just disappointed that the jukebox wasn't playing hits from the 50s). The operatic work, created in collaboration by Ginsberg with his old friend and fellow Buddhist Philip Glass, doesn't mince words about politics, or culture, or freedom, drugs, sex, or life; Ginsberg was no word-mincer; his intensive investigations of America's shadow side could offend quite a few people today, as they did then. To be charitable, this setting of a collage of excepts from Ginsberg's 30-year metier doesn't offer many clues to an audience not intimately familiar with the poetry of William Blake, Rimbaud's "immense derangement of the senses," William Burrough's "cut-up method," Hindu gurus, Zen aesthetic theory, and basic Buddhist doctrine. But even if you've heard nothing at all about Allen Ginsberg, you will come away from this show knowing three things about him: he was unapologetically homosexual, he favored Eastern religions, and he was against war. For the rest, a sizable fraction of the text's very personal references will come across as hermetic, if not baffling.
But what splendid bafflement it is! Music director Viswa Subbaraman, Director Ted Huffman, Choreographer Zack Winokur, Projection Designer Sven Ortel and Lighting Designer Carrie Cavins have created a total performance work, sophisticated in ways we'd expect to see in New York or London, but which might strike some Skylight audiences as a bit rarefied. Visually compelling, its palette of off-white, shades of gray, and cathode-ray blue, playing over assertively bland costumes and furnishings, seems to invoke an American world as seen through Ginsberg's poetic eyes: monochrome, soulless and rather sinister. Winokur's choreography centers around slow, deliberative walking, reminiscent of the walking meditation done at Buddhist group retreats, and recalling the 80's work of another Glass collaborator, Robert Wilson. It mixes up the space and calms the mind, creating a bodied rhythm for the text we both hear and see projected on the theater's bare back wall. High-contrast monochrome video projections show mostly ominous images: rolling clouds, billowing smoke, cityscapes, marching troops, and lots and lots of military hardware, from battleships to blossoming mushroom clouds.
Whether Ginsberg's free-ranging semaphoric verse style suits operatic recitative is perhaps open for debate; but if any music suits it, Glass's does: his slow repetitive measures, inspired in part by traditional Indian scales and rhythms, chime with Ginsberg's stated desire to make contemporary language into mantra: sacred utterance, with everything that implies. The music manages to be lush and spare; abstract but jazzy, meditative yet mysteriously pulsing with tension. The young, attractive cast sings gorgeously; Subbaraman's small musical ensemble delivers a rich, limpid sound, and whether the theme is lofty, accusatory, or scatological, one thing is certain: there is not a cliché, poetic or musical, to be found.; it's always alive, fresh, and raw. Ginsberg's stature as a great poet is affirmed. Maybe it doesn't matter so much if we catch every reference: the sounds and meanings of the river of language flowing over us have their own purpose, and definitely makes their main points clear.
Ginsberg himself is represented chiefly by a singer who is considerably taller, blonder, and more clean-cut than the shaggy poet could have ever been (not that he'd likely object). Baritone Dan Kempson, for all his boy-next-door good looks, takes the beat rebel to heart, glaring defiantly into the audience. feverishly laying pen to paper, grinning naughtily as he strips down to briefs to pantomime gay lovemaking in a sequence so tasteful as to offend only the terminally homophobic. The show purports to trace Ginsberg's observations of contradictory America through vignettes from 50's nuclear anxiety and beat exuberance, through 60's dissent and countercultural efflorescence, to 80's political polarization and spiritual exploration. We see Ginsberg the tense young New York intellectual; Ginsberg the party animal (though there can only be a very remote resemblance between these Gap-clad performers and any party in the 60s or 70s ever); Ginsberg the lover; the political satirist, passionate critic of materialism, ardent meditator, and, of course, Ginsberg the open-hearted scribe of the Zen moment, a poetic trope he picked up from his Buddhist studies. By the end of the show, in a lovely and moving a capella ensemble piece, we see him as the all-accepting sage, embracing life in the inevitability of death.
It's difficult to reconcile Ginsberg's overarching commitment to raw truth with the urbanity of this production, though. Lovely as it is, it cools his Whitmanesque excess, as if to display it in a tinted-glass vitrine. Maybe it's Glass's influence, trying to calm down his excitable friend. But it's a bit sobering to recognize that the artists who put this piece together are themselves too young to have experienced any of the events it depicts; for them, it's a period piece, black-and-white as old Civil War photographs. Maybe this accounts for frequent scenes set in nondescript office spaces and apartments: maybe the young artists are trying to place themselves in the poem: passing joints at a beat party, chanting "om" at the Pentagon, marching in the streets against the Contras, or meditating in a solitary cabin in the Rockies. Maybe they just hate America. Or maybe, just maybe, they recognize in themselves the Good Gay Poet's limitless richness of spirit, and that his willingness to love life in its minutest detail precludes allegiance to any narrower vision.
Viswa Subbaraman, the Skylight's new Artistic Director, might think twice before programming such a controversial piece again—but we hope he does. He's done a great favor to Milwaukee by bringing us challenging, mind-expanding work that we'd normally never get to see.

Essential book to prepare for the exams,
This review is from: MySQL Certification Study Guide (Paperback)
I found this an absolutely essential book to prepare for the exams, if only for the fact that it tells you exactly what topics are covered in the exams.
I think few people know everything there is to know about MySQL. I find that I'm very good at some parts of MySQL, particularly things I do everyday. Other things, which I rarely (or never) do, I could use improvement. In that case, this book is not a good teaching book. So I turned to another book, Sams' "Teach Yourself MySQL in 21 Days" to cover subject matter I need work on.
My only complaints are:
1) The questions at the end of each chapter should be multiple-choice, as the exams are.
2) The book should have come with a CD with the sample data used in the book. That would have saved time, having to manually recreate the data examples.

Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and actress Megan Fox both showed up at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards with a similar look – glittering gold dress, gold eye makeup, nude lips and pulled back hair.
Megan is normally my favorite on the red carpet but this time J. Lo definitely did a better job. The gold completely washed Megan out and her lips just looked off. And please don't even get me started with the earrings! What do you guys think?

Poddities has taken full advantage of those handy screws and created a Money Clip ($32) that attaches to an iPhone by screwing into the bottom of it. This way your phone and cash or cards stay carefully connected, eliminating that awkward moment when you pull your phone out of your pocket and your ID, dollar bills and condoms fall all over the floor.

In this delightful follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Duck & Goose and Duck, Duck, Goose, Duck wants to go on an adventure. Goose doesn't. He doesn't see the point. After all, why would they go anywhere when they're happy right where they are? But then Goose sees the ocean and loves it. Who doesn't? Well, Duck, for one!
Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2014:"Soft oils transport the impressively simple, silly little figures of Duck and Goose in their floppy sun hats across single- and double-page spreads, from the greens of the meadow to the blues, whites and tans of sky, water and sand, while their expressive eyes and postures amply convey comic emotion and visual back story. Anyone ever simultaneously excited and nervous about leaving home and traveling to new places will identify with this droll duo on their first amusing trip to the beach."

Dixie Carter admits move to Monday nights was a mistake
Feb 3, 2011 - by Steve Gerweck
A portion of Dixie Carter's Q&A on tnawrestling.com:
Question: What has been the biggest mistake you've made so far running TNA? I know the list is long but narrow it to 1 if possible.
Dixie Carter: The move to Monday nights. We have a loyal audience on Thursdays and that move proved that. Even the ratings of the Thursday replay (which did not force viewers to watch on Monday), were as high or higher than the debut telecast.

The 28-year-old thanks fans for their well wishes after falling ill on-set while filming her weekly fashion programme.
08:22, UK, Friday 08 March 2013
Television personality Kelly Osbourne is being treated in hospital in Los Angeles after suffering a seizure.
The daughter of celebrity couple Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne fell ill while filming an episode of her US show Fashion Police.
Osbourne, 28, reportedly fell to the floor during the 30-second seizure which happened at around midday on Thursday.
A medical emergency worker who was in the show's audience is said to have rushed to help.
She was then shielded with blankets as an ambulance took her to hospital.
The star later posted a picture on Twitter from her hospital bed with the message: "Thank U all 4 UR beautiful well wishes yes I did have a seizure they are just trying to figure out why?"
Osbourne stars on the weekly fashion critique programme with comedienne Joan Rivers and E! network host Giuliana Rancic.
She gained fame as a teenager appearing with her family on an MTV reality show.

Why Low TV Ratings Are a Bullish Sign
Schaeffer's Investment Research
The masses want nothing to do with stocks, and that is a good sign.
The CNBC ratings for last month were just released and they are ugly. I was on
last Friday
and the results for that day aren't in yet, but I'm not holding my breath. Still, the positive news to all of this is I find it incredibly bullish.
We are in the midst of a huge bull market yet no one seems to care. The whole thing is just "rigged" and we're only up because Ben Bernanke is printing money. Never mind the record earnings, low inflation, and low multiples. The masses want nothing to do with stocks, and that is a good sign.
I just was getting started in the market back during the tech bubble in 1999. But I've heard stories. Everyone loved CNBC, everyone loved the anchors, and everyone loved stocks. Guests were rock stars and it was like
– everyone knew your name. Well, that isn't the case so much anymore.
I actually touched on low ratings
last August
and surmised it was a good sign. The
(INDEXSP:.INX) is up 15% over the past 12 months, so something must be working.
According to the
New York Post
CNBC ratings are at a 20-year low, attracting just 37,000 viewers aged 25-54 over a 24-hour period. Here's what they found:
Particularly hard-hit programs were
Fast Money, Mad Money
The Kudlow Report
— each of which saw all-time lows in total viewers this month.
Larry Kudlow's 7 p.m. show fell the most, recording just 20,000 viewers in the key advertiser demographic, a 53% decline.
Similarly, Jim Cramer's
Mad Money
was off 38%, to 25,000 viewers, in the key demo.
Street Signs
was the only show to retain its audience.
Rival Fox Business Network drew an average of 10,000 viewers an hour in the same key demo. It also saw viewership declines.
No doubt that is ugly. At the same time, the CNN evening news audience has been cut in half the past 20 years. People use Twitter or the Internet now for their news. Backing this up, CNBC.com traffic was up 25%, while its TV ratings suffered.
The overall low sentiment doesn't stop there. Consumer confidence came in at just 81.5 in August. This is well beneath the 145 peak in 2000 and 115 peak in 2007.
To sum it all up, for the SPX to be close to all-time highs and see confidence and TV ratings this low, it is another sign this bull market could have a long way to go.

Ex-Saints quarterback aiding tornado victims
TUPELO, MS - A former Saints quarterback is helping out Mississippi tornado victims.
John Fourcade brought members of his "Fourcade Brigade" to Mississippi on Thursday. The group has been collecting donations in Louisiana and on the Gulf Coast.
Fourcade was taking two trailers of supplies, including bottled water, children's toys and furniture, to Louisville and Tupelo -some of the areas hardest hit by the April 28 tornado outbreak.
Fourcade is a former Ole Miss football player and played for the Saints from 1987-1990.

With August coming to a close, the migration season is supposedly underway. While other areas of San Diego are seeing some migrants, things are fairly quiet at Lake Murray, still. But, the area is not devoid of migrating birds. Here are a few observations for the lake in August 2014.
Waterfowl: During most of the summer months, coots were non-existent. But, in the last few weeks, their numbers have slowly been increasing. Generally, during September, resident coots are still tending to chicks. But, no new coot chicks were seen during August. Ducklings, however, were seen both at the beginning and near the end of the month, but did not survive. Pied-billed grebe chicks are still common. Only a few gadwalls and a couple a wood ducks have been seen. The Canada geese numbers remained the same.
Shorebirds: Shorebirds are severely lacking with no killdeer seen for the entire month. There was an unusual white-faced ibis in the middle of the month. Gull numbers are down with a few western and California gulls in the area. Forster's and a couple of Caspian terns were present at the beginning of August, but in low numbers. By mid-month, they had disappeared. A few snowy egrets and a couple of herons seen throughout the month.
Perching birds: Yellow warblers are still present in many areas, but most migrants have either not arrived or have left the area already. No signs of orioles or western kingbirds for the entire month. One surprise was that a couple of golden-crowned sparrows may have been heard near the ½ mile marker for about a week. A Costa's hummingbird was also heard in that area. A possible rufous hummingbird (unconfirmed) might have been seen near the main entrance. Pigeons, doves, and grackles were in their usual numbers, though the grackles seemed to have fewer surviving chicks this year.
Raptors: Nothing notable with raptors, except for two juvenile Cooper's hawks near the boat docks. Only one or two turkey vultures were seen during the month as well as an occasional red-tailed hawk.
Domestic birds: There was a report of someone releasing pet parakeets in the area, but only one was re-caught (only to escape later). No signs of any others in the area. No new domestic ducks dumped this month. One large Pekin duck, in poor health, was rescued earlier in the month. There are currently 12 Pekin ducks and a variety of other domestic ducks still currently at the lake.
Next month, look for more migrants and, hopefully, more shorebirds. Even though the resident killdeer left during breeding season, they should still return to the area for the fall and winter. Expect to see lesser scaup arriving by the end of September and possibly some northern shovelers. Willets, greater yellowlegs, and other shorebirds may arrive and stay for a day or two before leaving. Domestic duck dumping also increases during the fall even though shelters will take in these birds and put them up for adoption.

An unidentified man is forced into a black car at the junction of the A34 Kingsway and Mauldreth Road in Manchester.
04:51, UK, Monday 30 June 2014
Police are appealing for information after an unidentified man was forced into a black car in Manchester.
The man was jostled into the vehicle at the junction of the A34 Kingsway and Mauldeth Road around 1.30am on Sunday.
Officers said the car had alloy wheels similar to a Volkswagen Golf.
Police are concerned about the man's welfare, according to Detective Inspector Sarah-Jane Lennie.
"We don't know exactly what has gone on or why, but from the details we have we are obviously concerned for the welfare of the person seen forcibly put into the car," she said.
"I am keen to hear from anyone who witnessed anything or saw the car in and around the area in the early hours of this morning.
"I would also like to hear from anyone who thinks they might know what has happened, who the people involved are and who this person is and why he may have been targeted.
"If you have any information please call us. We will treat it in absolute confidence."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 4596.

I recently had to move an Ubuntu server to a new network. After I hooked it up again, I find I can no longer sudo, even though I was able to previously.
Does this mean a network problem is interfering with sudo (perhaps via PAM or something?) I don't really know the ins and outs of linux security.
Thx! Tom

Our Safety Management System (SMS) is a key framework used to help achieve Safety throughout our operations. Canadian Natural's SMS consists of 15 industry recognized elements that enable the company to exceed industry standards for basic safety programs.
Canadian Natural conducts its business in accordance to principles found within our Corporate Statements. Specifically, our SMS system is structured keeping with the principles found within the Corporate Statement on Health and Safety. Our CNR International (CNRI) Safety and Asset Integrity Management Systems are based on the same principles in addition to being structured to meet local regulatory requirements.
Canadian Natural's Safety teams conduct SMS audits to raise awareness and expectations by reinforcing our 'Front-line Driven Safety' culture and helping supervisors demonstrate 'Safety as a Core Value'. The audit process allows for feedback and constructive collaboration as action plans are generated for continued improvement. Our Safety and Asset Integrity teams work together with all our operational divisions to implement and effectively execute our Safety and Asset Integrity Management Systems.
All Canadian Natural's North American operations continue to maintain our partnership with the Government of Alberta in the injury reduction Certificate of Recognition (COR) program. Additionally, Canadian Natural's SMS continues to meet the requirements for the Partnerships in Reduction (PIR) Program through the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) at both Horizon and our North America Exploration & Production operations.

CNRI has an integrated Safety Management System in place to fulfill its environmental and safety performance goals. In our United Kingdom operations, Safety Management System audits are regulated by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). Additionally, Safety, Health and Environment Management System (SHEMS) audits are regularly carried out to ensure our integrated Safety Management System remains up to date.
We are continuing to extend our current scope for ISO 14001 certification. This international standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Our international operations have developed stringent operating standards in the following areas:
- exercising care with respect to all waste produced through effective waste management plans;
- limiting environmental impact through use of water-based, drilling muds whenever possible; and
- minimizing produced water volumes offshore through cost-effective measures.
The integrated SMS in place at our UK and Offshore Africa operations is well aligned to our corporate Safety Excellence program.
Through our Process Safety Management (PSM) framework, CNRI is developing an integrated and systematic approach to assuring the safety and asset integrity of our offshore oil and natural gas infrastructure and assets. The PSM framework addresses new regulatory requirements of the UK Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) regulatory body. To learn more about our PSM framework, click here .

Three of the state-run Obamacare exchange websites are in dire trouble and the Republicans are launching investigation – an aggressive stand that is not sitting well with Democrat lawmakers.
The websites include Oregon, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Severe functional failures and staggering costs have been dumped into the taxpayer's lap, The Hill reports.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Republican members wrote to the Government Accountability Office strongly demanding an investigation into the $304 million in federal grants Oregon received to fund its exchange.
Not one person has yet to be enrolled online.
The fiscal nightmare has been taken up by Oregon Rep. Greg Walden who wrote, "The catastrophic breakdown of Cover Oregon is unacceptable, and taxpayers deserve accountability."
The liberal Democratic Governor of Oregon, John Kitzhaber , an ardent Obama supporter, feels the state is making "progress" signing up citizens for the federal healthcare program.
He say, "Congress will do what Congress will do just so long as it does not slow down the process of getting Oregonians healthcare, The Hill reported. "Already more than 225,000 Oregonians have enrolled in quality, affordable coverage, including more than 35,000 in private insurance plans."
Kitzhaber's office blames the problems as "using large parts of the technology it purchased to calculate what people are eligible for, help them get access to financial assistance, and service their accounts."
Oregon's growing technology empire has been called "Silicon Forest." No word of any technological support being requested from them.
Meanwhile, Maryland's healthcare exchange is hanging on by a thread. For months, state officials have been debating whether to abandon the state-run portal and adopt HealthCare.gov.
Republicans want a federal investigation to be conducted.
Local Maryland politicians accuse state lawmakers and administration officials of ignoring warnings from appointed auditors who warned the website was not going to function properly and not ready.
Instead, through political pressure emanating from the White House, the website was switched on and the failure has now amounted to millions of taxpayer dollars, similar to the Oregon fiasco.
The lawmakers also asked the agency to determine whether federal funds might be recouped on the project, The Hill reports.
Maryland Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley had no comment and did not return calls from The Hill.
Finally there is Massachusetts' healthcare exchange and the inept official running their program. They too are plagued by technical problems. It currently has the worst enrollment percentage in the country, The Hill reports.
The Boston Globe has done extensive reporting on the roll out catastrophe and reported Thursday that the state's exchange director, Jean Yang, was actually in tears during a recent board meeting discussing the many problems the agency faces.
Yang said, "We have to work harder. That means I need to tell the staff members they're not doing a good enough job and I'm telling them that, even though they have been doing this tirelessly for months, and they're exhausted."
No comment from the White House concerning the three states.

So-called Natural Year phone breaks down, decays with each passing day
Phones these days are usually made out of plastic or thin strips of metal, and when it comes to the end of their life cycle, manufacturers often find it hard to have them disposed of and reused in one go. Well, here's a design that might offer a solution.
The Natural Year phone, pictured below, is made almost entirely out of hay, aside from the screen, keys, and possibly the battery. As time progresses, the phone's body will break down, literally, until nothing is left of it but the plastic and other non-hay pieces.
The designer envisions the Natural Year phone to be able to withstand daily decay for up to two years, until all that's left of the phone are its non-grassy parts.
I can see spies and transients in other countries having a great use of this, but I think the biggest obstacle to this product's success, if it ever exists, would be goats, horses, and other plant eating animals. But then again, if a user gets tempted enough to smoke it, well, you get the idea.

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State senior wide receiver Josh Harper was named Tuesday by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., to the 2014 Biletnikoff Award preseason watch list.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver in college football. The award recipient is selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group 221 prominent college football journalists, commentators and former receivers.
"Given the significant number of excellent college receivers playing this season, the race for the 2014 Biletnikoff Award will be the most entertaining and wide-open in many years," TQC Foundation Chairman Charles Hopkins said.
Harper is joined on the list by Mountain West counterparts Devante Davis of UNLV, Rashard Higgins of Colorado State, Matt Miller of Boise State, Ezell Ruffin of San Diego State, Dominic Rufran of Wyoming, Richy Turner of Nevada and Tyler Winston of San Jose State.
For Harper, a Stockton, Calif. native, he enters his senior year coming off a 1,000-yard receiving season. In 2013, Harper caught 79 passes for 1,011 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was a second-team All-Mountain West selection after ranking in a tie for eighth in the FBS in touchdown catches last year.
He has caught 138 passes for 1,841 yards and 22 touchdowns in 27 career games. Those 22 TD catches rank in a tie for the fourth-most nationally among active players. Harper ranks sixth in the Fresno State record book for career touchdown receptions, is tied for 10th in catches and is on the verge of becoming the 10th receiver in school history to accumulate over 2,000 yards receiving in a career.
Harper was also named last week as one of 42 players on the College Football Performance Awards Wide Receiver Trophy watch list.
The TQC will announce the ten Biletnikoff Award semifinalists on Nov. 17, 2014, following the vote by the 221 members of the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee. Likewise, the three finalists will be declared, following another vote, on Nov. 24, 2014.
The 2014 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on Dec. 11, 2014, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show to be broadcast from 7-9 p.m. on ESPN. College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff will announce the 2014 winner on the show.
"Be Bold" - 2014 Fresno State football season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at GoBulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes 1600 AM.

The Giant Step produced Music Experiment 2.0 series, presented by MTV Iggy and Intel, made its way to Boston last night with electronic duo Disclosure. The second show, following Empire of the Sun's amazing New York City performance, once again hit capacity with hundreds of fans dressed in black for the "White Noise" theme at Cyclorama at Boston Center for the Arts. They were lined up to get their face's painted Disclosure style while opening DJ Kidnap Kid helped set the mood. Disclosure played through multiple tracks from their debut release, Settle, with special guest Sam Smith hopping onstage for "Latch."
Disclosure's set was live streamed around the globe and will air on Palladia music network at a later date. Stay tuned for announcements on upcoming ME 2.0 shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Nashville, and be sure to check out the series' online hub at www.musicexperiment.com. Photo credit: MTV/Iggy
