Hi, great plugin!
I'm using the w3-total-cache plugin to upload and store images in CDN. I have a network setup where another plugin ThreeWP Broadcast distributes posts and attachment images from the master site to the children. The setup works nearly perfectly, but I need to do some kind of manual hack to go all the way..
The problem, I believe, is that the ThreeWP Broadcast plugin do a copy of attached images from master site to child but without triggering the w3-total-cache CDN upload. Thus images and attachments end up on the child site's local server but not in CDN (ie. broken image links on front page ).
What I'm thinking is to add some code in ThreeWP Broadcast to force a trigger of the upload-to-CDN-hook...
ThreeBroadcast code snippet (copy of attachments):
private function copy_attachment( $attachment_data, $post_id) {
// Copy the file to the blog's upload directory
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
if ( ! file_exists( $attachment_data->filename_path() ) )
return false;
copy( $attachment_data->filename_path(), $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $attachment_data->filename_base() );
// And now create the attachment stuff.
// This is taken almost directly from http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_attachment
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( $attachment_data->filename_base(), null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', $attachment_data->filename_base() ),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $attachment_data->filename_base(), $post_id );
// Now to handle the metadata.
// 1. Create new metadata for this attachment.
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php' );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $attachment_data->filename_base() );
// 2. Write the old metadata first.
foreach( $attachment_data->post_custom as $key => $value )
$value = reset( $value );
$value = maybe_unserialize( $value );
switch( $key )
// Some values need to handle completely different upload paths (from different months, for example).
case '_wp_attached_file':
$value = $attach_data[ 'file' ];
update_post_meta( $attach_id, $key, $value );
// 3. Overwrite the metadata that needs to be overwritten with fresh data.
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
return $attach_id;
I have tried to add an extra update_attachement_file hoping it would trigger the hook...
update_attached_file($attach_id, $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $attachment_data->filename_base());
.. but it fails.
Any hints on how to do this?
Best regards,

Marianna, FL- John Wayne Lincoln, 21 years old, plead guilty Thursday afternoon to the murder of Vivian Ford.
Investigators said Lincoln brutally stabbed Ford during a robbery at her Greenwood home on November 27th last year.
"He (Lincoln) has no explanation for what happened that day, that he used different terms but lost it or freaked out," said Lincoln's attorney Clyde Taylor.
Ford was a well-known member in the community. She served as the secretary to several Jackson County school superintendents, and her family was named farm family of the year in the 1970s.
The state had been seeking the death penalty, but Ford's husband, Larry, told the court Thursday a death sentence would only cause more hardship for the family.
"I do not wish for my children or my grandchildren to continue with this legal burden that could last for many many years," said Larry Ford.
Judge William Wright agreed, sentencing Lincoln to three consecutive life sentences and an additional 70 years behind bars for several other charges, without the chance of parole.
"Justice will never be served to John Wayne Lincoln on this Earth.
Justice will only be served when he meets his maker," said Larry Ford.
The plea deal avoided a trial, which was set for January. Lincoln can't appeal his sentence.

New London - The former mayor of New London, who has been on the Board of Ethics for more than 10 years, said Thursday she will participate in proceedings involving a dispute between a city councilor and the police chief, despite being accused of having a conflict of interest.
Eunice Waller, who has publicly supported Police Chief Margaret Ackley, said Wednesday she will not recuse herself from the Nov. 16 ethics board hearing. The board is set to hear testimony on Ackely's charge that City Councilor Michael Buscetto III violated the city's Code of Ethics when he participated in closed-door City Council meetings involving complaints the chief made against him.
"Because I have an opinion doesn't mean I can't hear the case,'' Waller said Thursday. "I didn't do anything wrong. ... I had a right to express myself.''
Waller made comments in support of Ackley at a City Council meeting in September, before Ackley had filed her complaint with the ethics board.
Waller added that she will check with the state Board of Ethics. She initially said she could step down if asked to do so, when a member of the public raised the conflict issue in September.
Buscetto, who is running as a write-in candidate for mayor, requested Wednesday that four members of the ethics board - Chairman K. Robert Lewis, Dennis Downing, Brian Giesing and Waller - step down from the proceedings because of conflicts of interest.
Giesing, who is running for City Council, agreed to recuse himself, because if he is elected on Tuesday, he would not be able to continue on the board.
Lewis and Downing declined.
If all four members had recused themselves, there would have been no quorum Wednesday night and the proceedings could not have gone forward.
In a separate inquiry, the City Council has hired a retired Superior Court judge to investigate allegations that Buscetto interfered with police department business. Ackley appeared before the council this past summer and complained about Buscetto's behavior and threatened a lawsuit.
Ackley filed the ethics complaint after that meeting, alleging that Buscetto should not have participated in the discussion.
The ethics board hearing is set to begin at 5 p.m. Nov. 16. A second hearing date has been set for 5 p.m. Nov. 30.

I know it is possible to define groups of friends. But how do I allow/exclude groups to see a photo-album ? Is it possible?
Create a list of the friends that you want to be able to include or exclude for your album.
Then you need to :
When I tested this initially my friend list did not appear but as it turns out you can add friend lists to the privacy settings.
You should be aware that is a friend is a member of two lists the most restrictive permissions are applied to your friend.

Coppelion Ozu Sisters by Nick-IanWatch
©2013-2016 Nick-Ian
Coppelion may not be a favorite among the animes showing this season. I myself stopped watching it around episode 4 or 5. Too much crocodile tears I guess.
But I did come across the latest episode in Animax featuring the first appearance of these girls - Shion and Kanon, the Ozu Sisters. I have a soft spot for mentally demented psycho girls. I especially love Shion (the one carrying the boulder) - because of her air headed nature and that twisted smile she always sports. Adorable.
This is done in pencil with a bit of white poster color to make those electric sparks. The paper was yellowish. I brought it out more using Photoshop editing.
So cool!
this is awesome
It's sad how they ended it so early, they didn't even show that Haruto is not dead! T_T
wow your good
Originally stopped watching the series after episode 2 since the protaganists were disturbingly emotional, to the point where even being non-human humans and being a rescue team in a post-disaster area couldn't justify it. Aoi was somewhat enjoyable to watch at least. But then came the Ozu sisters Too bad we don't get to see them too much except when they're hunting the protaganist team. IMO they should've given Kanon gill slits on the sides of her neck. Would've worked better to show the more disturbing side of gene splicing instead of just giving all the girls epic powers with no negative effects, and it would also give her scarf a purpose of hiding the gills other than just for cool points. Still, gotta love psycho girls XD
can't wait till they show Aoi's and Mana's powers~~ <3
Oh dear this is creepy.
Ooo finally, which episode? Quit watching after 3 episodes...they look awesome strong
I heart me some mental people
I heart this drawing.
I heart me some mental people
I heart this drawing.
I think it was episode 8 or 9. Maybe you can check some episode guides online or something. XD And thanks!
I dont even know Coppelion but know i want to
Love these crazy mimics you are so damn good at face expressions i wanna cry.
The lightnings are awesome too of course
oh i forgot to mention.
You are getting really good with the background stuff.
Keep it up!
I started making backgrounds more after reading Claymore and joining this: dissidiaaces.deviantart.com/
Yeap! These girls are the only reason I watched the rest of Coppelion. The other episodes are full of crying.
I hadn't even heard about thus show before now, but now I'm very interested. I'll have to check it out once I'm through the hell that are my exams.
oh another awesome work of yours! xD
love the thunder and the sun coming through a lot.
love the thunder and the sun coming through a lot.
Thanks! That thunder is actually Kanon's special ability. She can generate electricity since she has electric eel genes spliced into her.
Aww man! They really do love to wreck thing aren't they?
I mean *things.
I love the perspective on this

Hi everyone.
I'd really like to run the Zooma Race (half marathon) in January of 2013. The race is headquartered (expo and finish) at the Ritz. Best rate I can do there is $239 plus tax, plus parking. I'm strongly considering staying at the Hampton Inn (on South Second). I'm bringing my husband and daughter and we live near the beach so the beach is unimportant to us. What we do like is shopping/restaurants/history. We love (for example) St. Augustine.
I can get the Hampton for about half as much and I'm really tempted. Any reason why we wouldn't? I know we'll have to pay to park at the Ritz (probably twice - expo and post race) but other than that, it just seems better to stay at the Hampton (and the savings is pretty significant).

Lmao at people voting Blake griffin. Guy doesnt even see the court come playoff time cause he can't do nothing once teams play defense.
Lol you don't care if hes not a PF if that is the position he has played? Cause that makes sense :facepalm:
If we are going by their primes then Vince Carter and Amare are must haves.
Easily the worst thing Ive seen
Should be
JR Smith
Carmelo (played PF this year so far)
If your going to judge a Center based just based on TS% then I guess that makes Chandler > Howard.
Living in the past much? And there is no way Dwight is better offensively than Marc, you can think what You'd like but like I said Right Now Marc is better than Dwight. I shut up and disappear? ...
The fact that you would start Pecovic over Gasol and than not include Manu Ginobli or Agent Zero makes me LOL.
And you can't just dismiss FG% because it doesn't include free throw shooting. And we are not talking about Dwight Howard, were talking about Kobe who is a 83% FT shooter and Melo who is a 80% free...
Cool story, where is the relevance? That was 4 years ago, what does that mean today? Right now, Marc Gasol is a better Center than Dwight.
Dwight also has not gotten any better since he got...
None of that has anything to do with what I responded to. The other guy said Kobe has been more efficient over his career which is not true. If you wanna use TS% and tell me Kobe is a better free...
To any idiot bringing up assists per game and comparing Melo and Kobe Ill ask one question.
Do you realize that Kobe is a guard who gets the ball much further from the basket than Melo who is a...
Dwight is just an upgraded younger version of Tyson in the talent department.
Better defender and rebounder but not by the insane margins some people seem to think. Neither can score on there own...
Yawn, let me know when Dwight can be counted on late in games to hit free throws or make a go to basket. Gimme Marc Gasol at the moment, at least he can be on the floor to end games.
I already proved you wrong, keep coming with the excuses. There hilarious :D
Ahaha hear come the excuses
Melo career fg% 45.7
Kobe career fg% 45.4
Just proved your wrong, now stop posting and make everyone happy
Actually Melo scores more points per 48 minutes, hes sat out a lot of 4th quarters because the Knicks actually have won games. And Kobe shoots .5% better so relax
How can numbers be ignorant? :facepalm:
He simply stated FACTS
11th in the West, Let me know when you get in the playoff picture ;)
Are you dumb? When Granger plays George is the starting 2 guard. And I love how you change it to this year. Deng also plays more minutes per game than Melo, per 48 he averages 8.3 to Melo's 8.2 so...
So annoying that as soon as Amare is coming back Felton goes down... I wanted to see that PnR in action
Or have the best coach of all time as well.
Thad is a PF
Paul George is a SG
AK47 and Marion are absolutely better rebounders than Melo but Deng averages .1 more RPG than Melo over his career
Troll harder
Agent Zero
Millsap (Versatile enough to play SF)
Carl Landry or Boozer
Marc Gasol
1999 Round 2 Pick 57 .... FAIL

Kvitova Crushes Barty
Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova raced into the second round of the French Open with a 6-1 6-2 victory over Australian teenager Ashleigh Barty.
- Related Content
This was a meeting between the senior and junior champions from SW19 last year, but the 16-year-old will have to chalk it off as valuable experience on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Kvitova had been troubled by an abdominal injury in Rome two weeks ago but showed no signs of that, as she cruised through to a second-round meeting with either Pauline Parmentier or Urszula Radwanska.
The fourth seed is considered much more of a threat on faster surfaces, with her best performances at Roland Garros so far being two fourth-round appearances.
The Czech said: "I think that every first round is very tough to play at the grand slams, and I knew I was a really big favourite.
"She's talented. She got a wild card, she's won a grand slam. And she was a very tough opponent for the first round for sure, but I'm happy I'm through."

The most famous works of film history are also well-represented in our collection: from Sunrise and La Règle du jeu to Le Mépris and Mulholland Drive. In cooperation with rights holders, film producers, distributors and private sponsors, new collections devoted to important areas of film history are continuously being added to the present holdings.
The Film Museum also holds several thousand reels of nitrate film, the high-quality but extremely fragile material of industrial film production until approximately 1950. The restoration and preservation of these films requires not only the utmost care, it is also extremely expensive. In this field, the support of private partners and the public sector as well as a special sponsorship project has proven to be indispensable.
The Film Museum's large collection of amateur films and other 'ephemeral' kinds of filmmaking is constantly being expanded with private deposits and donations.
Some of the Film Museums important restorations, such as Dziga Vertov's Entuziazm or Erich Von Stroheim's Blind Husbands, have been made available on DVD following their preservation on film. We do not understand the DVD as a "substitute carrier" of film, but as an educational medium that allows for various forms of contextualization, roughly comparable to the catalogue of an art exhibition.
Another of the Film Museum's responsibilities is the location, restoration and preservation of films which are threatened by immediate decay. In this context, we would like to request your active assistance: film requires highly specialized storage conditions in order to prevent its material decomposition; if you or your acquaintances still have old film material in private storage, please contact us to ensure a professional solution for lasting storage and preservation.
The Film Museum supports the FIAF Manifesto "Dont Throw Film Away" as well as the international petition Save Film.
For post-graduate research projects and research by historians and artists, or for programme-oriented research initiatives, we offer the option of viewing films at the editing bench.

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over $F$. Let $T:V \rightarrow V$ be a linear transformation such that $ST=TS$ for all linear transformations $S:V \rightarrow V$. Show that $T = cI_v$ for some $c \in F$.
Notice that if two linear operators $A,B$ commute, they preserve one another's eigenspaces. It remains to show that a transformation which preserves every subspace (so in particular, every vector is its eigenvector) is a multiple of identity.
Note that for this argument, you don't need to assume that $V$ is finite-dimensional.
Here is a proof of a different nature, proving the contrapositive. It also avoids matrices and indexing. Probably because of this, it is also valid for infinite dimensional $V$. Assuming $\dim V>1$, Let $T$ be a transformation that is not $cI_V$ for any $c$. We will find a transformation $S$ such that $ST\neq TS$.
Choose a basis $\,\{v_1,...,v_n\}\,$ of $\,V\,$ , and define $$S_i:V\to V\,\,,\,\,S_i(v_j)=\left\{\begin{array}{} v_i\,\,&\,\text{if}\,\,\,i=j\\0\,\,&\,\text{if}\,\,\,i\neq j\end{array}\right.$$
Now: $$TS_i(v_j)=\left\{\begin{array}Tv_i,&\,\text{if}\,\,\,i=j\\T(0)=0\,&\,\text{if}\,\,\,i\neq j\end{array}\right.$$ Suppose $$T(v_j)=\sum_{k=1}^na_{jk}v_k\Longrightarrow S_iT(v_j)=S_i\left(\sum_{k=1}^na_{jk}v_k\right)=a_{ji}v_i$$
Well, compare the different cases and deduce $\,c=a_{ji}\,$

Vt. encourages more landowners to open to huntingNovember 06,2013State wants more
land for hunters
BENNINGTON The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is encouraging landowners to make their properties available to hunters.
The department says amount of posted land has roughly doubled between 1971 and 2011, about 100,000 acres to between 200,000 and 230,000.
Hunting license sales have also been on the decline, from about 91,000 licenses sold in 1987 to about 73,500 in 2004.
Recent legislation has given landowners the option to use hunting by permission signs, which work similar to posted signs but are more inviting. The signs are still being worked on.MORE IN This Just In

I updated the plugin tonight and proceeded on for a few hours before someone wrote me and said my site was down. I deactivated the plug in and the site worked again. I really liked what this was doing, but if it's crashing my site, not so.
Please let me know when whatever needs to be fixed has been.

Posted on 09/24/2003 8:56:28 AM PDT by Theodore R.
Bill Maher: Mel Gibson and Tom DeLay Are Anti-Semites
Controversial TV talker Bill Maher attacked religious conservatives in an early morning interview on Wednesday, claiming that movie star Mel Gibson and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay were "anti-Semitic."
"I do think Mel Gibson is anti-Semitic," Maher told radio host Don Imus. "So, by the way, is Tom DeLay. So, by the way, are all these Christian right people who pretend to be friends of Israel."
Then Maher accused Christian fundamentalists of befriending Israel only because, ultimately, they'd like to see Jews die:
"You know, this is the sickest thing. They go over to Israel and they're not for the Bush road map to peace over there in the Middle East. Because they don't want Arabs in Jerusalem because what they say is the Bible says that when Jesus comes back for the Second Coming, Jerusalem has to be just the way he left it."
The host of HBO's "Real Time" continued:
"It can't be full of Arabs, because there were no Arabs then. It has to be full of Jews. Because when the Second Coming takes place and we all go up to heaven, the Jews have a place in that little play which of course is to die. The Jews have to die when Jesus comes back."
Then the TV talker adopted the voice of a mock movie director and announced, "Places, everybody. Where are my Jews? You have a place to play in this, and that's dying or converting."
Earlier in the interview, Maher charged that President Bush had misled the American people about Saddam Hussein's ties to terrorists, saying that any affiliation between the Iraqi dictator and folks like Osama bin Laden was purely social.
"It's so preposterous," he told Imus. "I mean, I always said it was like the link between you know, they keep putting Sug Knight in jail because he associates with gang members."
The HBO host explained:
"Well, yes. He's a black guy from the hood who was in the rap industry. Of course he is going to know a few people with a criminal record. And Saddam Hussein is an Arab. Of course he's going to know a few terrorists socially."
Maher, your knees must be sore from bumping into furniture. With your cranial-anal inversion you have trouble seeing where you are going.
I do not know what the un Tempeled, like Maher, are called. People who get called Christian are often the un churched and not very representive of the Church at all. Maher could not hide his joy over the bombing of the World Trade Center and it cost him but not enough.
Huh? Source, Mr. Maher?
Is he in danger of HBO dropping him now? (A non-subscriber here)
Yet another pathetic attempt at attention?
Has his friend Ann Coulter chimed in yet?
Is it not true that some Christian churches teach that in the end times a lot of Jews will be converted and accept Jesus as Truth?
Is it also not true that some Christian churches look forward to the end times?
If I were looking at it from a Jewish point of view, I think I would be a little wary of people who support my state because they hope that Jesus will come soon and sort of eliminate the essence of my state, namely its Jewishness.
I think that the Jewish people would prefer Christian support because the Christians support the right of Israel to exist as a state and as a homeland for the Jews.
I know that I personally would hope that my friends like me for who I am - as I am - and not for who or what they can change me into. That just sounds like normal respect (as long as I'm not an ax murderer, which I'm not!)
It has always been an interesting observation of mine that liars and thieves most always accuse others of what they themselves are doing and thinking. In that way they divert the attention, of only the ignorant observer from what they are actually doing, towards those they falsly accuse. It's S.O.P. for the left.
You mean he actually got another show? That's amazing,but I simply can't believe he has any 'real numbers' of people that watch it, even if it is true that he has another show. More blathering from (a rather small) B.M. ----- LOL
I was going to add "and Dimocrats"...but I think you covered them already!
I have NEVER heard anything remotely like that.
Question for the group:
Why do we Christians support the Jews?
Maher continues to impress with the depths of his ignorance.
Now, now, now; let's leave the personal relationship between Bill and Bill out of this.
from bumping into furniture.
[ EMILY LATELLA ] Never mind.... [ /EMILY LATELLA ]
Just for the record (not that the evidence matters, of course): I'm the son of a fundamentalist pastor and have been in conservative, bible-belt Protestant circles literally all my life, and Maher is the first and only person I've ever heard utter this.
He is simply unable to form a thought which corresponds with the external universe.

Words often repeated on the WZ. If you read it you would certainly think that is the case. At least it's the overwhelming view.
Well you certainly did not see Joe Looney out there did you?....... Plus how quickly the 49ers forget Chilo Rachal. One bad Guard can tank your team. Looney often mentioned as an eventual replacement for Iupati if he leaves in FA. "He will play just as good as Iupati." Seen this quote on the WZ. Really. He is filling in for an absent Alex Boone right now. But he is often said to be a replacement at either side if we lose Boone or Iupati in FA.
Obviously Looney is not a replacement for either one of those. He got tossed around like a rag doll. He could not hold the point of attack. There was no running room on his side. Lots of running room on Iupati's side. He's not as good. Guard does matter. It's not as unimportant as made out to be on here. You can't just plug in anybody and get the same results.

Help:Interlanguage links/German
|This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
All pages that were listed on this page, as of 29 August 2002, have now been fixed with appropriate backlinks from the German Wikipedia. This page is therefore no longer in use. Thanks to everyone who helped!
The German Wikipedia has recently got the facility to use interlanguage links. In the spirit of international cooperation, you may like to check the pages that we have that link to the German Wikipedia, and check that they link back to the English Wikipedia (and the article in any other languages). You can do that by following the link to the German article and then adding e.g. [[en: (article name)]] to the article at the top (page Wikipedia:Interlanguage links says: "it is required to put the language links at the bottom of the page, after external links, see also's, and categories").
This is a list of all the pages we have that link to the German Wikipedia, to assist in this process. Please also transfer any other language links you find here to the corresponding German article (for example, the Main Page is linked to several different languages). Please remove pages from this list when fixed/checked.

Hi, i'm sorry if this problem is simple, but i'm a newby.
When i try to modify UAM setup, i get this error "method not implemented POST to /wp-admin/admin.php not supported".
I've read that this could be caused by mod_security options, so modified .htaccess with this code found on a forum
<IfModule mod_security.c>
# Turn off mod_security filtering. SMF is a big boy, it doesn't need its hands held.
SecFilterEngine Off
# The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
SecFilterScanPOST Off
It still doesn't work.
If anyone can help me. Thank you !

this e-mail was just about labor. I'm not begging for
you to take me back. I dont want to come back. Why
would I want to be with some one who so adimetly
doesn't want to be with me and tells me how unhappy I
make them? BUT.... because I still love you it
HURTS! It HURTS to not have the family that we
started, it hurts to not be with you, it hurts to love
you like I do and know how unhappy I make you. Just
because it hurts me and I cry sometimes, doesn't mean
I'm trying to "win you over" or "guilt" you into
making things work.. I cry because it HURTS! It's a
loss and I'm suffering.
Get it? I'm hurt. I dont want to hear your crap
anymore about how aweful I was or how aweful things
would be if we were together. I'm done.

Wombat... didn't you JUST stop being sick????? I know you want to nest and get things done but dont forget to take it easy sometimes too.
i want to nest like MAD sometimes but I'm not "allowed" do really do anything here at my Mom's house except dishes.... which I can't do because I can't really reach the sink :
There is soooooooooooo much STUFF here! In the living room, the "kitchen" the "dining" room... even the BASEMENT!!!! There is noooooooooo space and just soooooooo much paper clutter i want to cry!
On a brighter note I had a MW appointment today... she was very nice and understanding (there are 3 MW in the practice and this was the first time I saw this one since the "split"). She said baby felt like she was BIGGER than DD, but she coudln't tell HOW big becuase she didn't know how much of her head was in my pelvis. DD was 6lbs 11 oz.... at birth.... not 20 days before due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How big could this babe get?!?!?!?!?
Oh and by the way... yes I said 20 days.... 20 days before ME due date, the 5th.... those of you who are due ahead of me... oh yeah, it's countdown time!
Speaking of.... where is Marv with that Baby???? Did I miss it?
GenomicsGirl-- Good luck with the bili levels. This time, I've talked to our ped about bili blankets as DS had levels of 20-something and had to be re-admitted to the hospital for two days when he was about 8 days old. It was super-stressful, and part of me hopes that misery is what led to our nursing problems!

Commissioners define qualities for a new county administrator
Published: Monday, July 4, 2011 at 5:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 4, 2011 at 5:17 p.m.
The Herald-Tribune asked the Sarasota County Commission which three qualities they think are most important in a county administrator as they search for Jim Ley's replacement. Here is what they said:
The three qualities I would most like to see in a new county administrator are: outstanding people skills — the ability to work with the good, the bad and the ugly in a respectful manner to resolve issues as they occur; honesty and integrity; and the ability to not only see the big picture but help motivate others to see it and buy into it.
I want someone with a history of well-run organizations behind him or her. I want someone who is good at organizing things to get the most for a lean budget, since that is reality. I want someone who is bright, analytical and innovative and a good judge of people. I would say ethical but that goes without saying. I think the qualities I have listed are imperative given the likelihood of a slow economic recovery as well as the expectations of our community.
1) Responsive problem-solving — someone who does not get hung up on why we can't do something but tries to find a way to get it done.
2) Integrity and ethical leadership — someone who expects the highest ethical standards in government and is an example of it.
3) Economic development — extensive experience and success in economic development.
Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Seriously: Experience in managing similar enterprises. High ethical standards. Balance of creative and stable management styles. I am looking for stability — a solid foundation on which to rebuild public confidence.

I have a huge **ZIT**p in my armpit that hurts like **ZIT**. It's been there for several weeks now, and has not gotten a head on it, but I've still tried to pop it anyways (just in case). It won't pop, and it really really hurts. I can barely press on it, so a needle in it isn't working. Should I just stab myself really hard and endure the pain, or should I get a doctor to look at it? Stabbing the needle slow causes me too much pain, so I'd need to do it fast-like ripping off a band aid.

When using wordpress as a CMS, I imagine it's quite common to establish a set of pages for the site that the client will edit. In this case, these particular posts are part of the "structure" of the site. As time goes on, the posts table will fill up with "content".
Now, if on a development server, I add a new page, I can't just push this up to production, because it will likely overwrite some content from the client.
If I was building a site with a framework, this would not be an issue since all the structure of the site is in code. In this case, the structure is mixed in the database with the content.
How have other people dealt with this issue?

In Utah, the families of six miners trapped for nearly two weeks, gathered together on Aug. 19, 2007, as a statement was read on their behalf.
The statement criticized the officials in charge of the rescue effort, accusing them of having "given up" on the missing men.
In the statement, the families urged the mine's owner and federal officials to drill a hole into the mine large enough to send down a rescue capsule.
Rescue teams have drilled four holes into the Crandall Canyon Mine so far - the latest attempt found low levels of oxygen.
Three lives have been lost in the rescue effort.

A legitimate carry-on that's tough enough for just about anything.
Despite its name, the Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 Carry-On Bag will not survive being left on the tarmac, although it will survive the airline's attempt to transport dollars from your bank account in the name of baggage fees. With a trim 14x22x9-inch profile, the Tarmac 22 easily complies will all major airlines carry-on restrictions so you don't pay an extra $50 to ship your undies to Napa for the weekend.
While this bag wouldn't appreciate being under the landing wheels of a jumbo jet, it can take quite a bit. A combination of Bi-Tech and Bi-Tech Armor fabrics resist London-esque drizzles, and withstand abrasions from the overhead compartment, as well as the trunk of the taxi in Bangladesh. Ultra rugged wheels with protective bumpers will survive intact and with nary a scratch when you're beating cheeks to catch the once-a-day bus into town.
The Tarmac 22 has more to offer than just a tough exterior. The padded exterior pocket protects your e-reader or tablet as you make your way towards the gate. A lockable 3-1-1 stash pocket has a key fob, and provides just enough space for your see-through plastic bag containing liquids and gels. The coat-keeper bungee cord stays hidden in the stash pocket when it's not holding your fleece or blazer. The main compartment expands by 15%, just in case you buy a few trinkets. Multiple padded handles make the Tarmac 22 a breeze to grab, whether you're jumping on the departing train from Gare Du Nord or throwing the bag in frustration of spending another night in O'Hare.
- Bi-Tech and Bi-Tech Armor fabrics
- Expandable main compartment

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades took to his Twitter account on Friday to send out a distress signal: "The country must be saved."
"The House of Representatives will soon be called upon to make difficult decisions. There will be painful aspects, but the country must be saved," he wrote.
The tweet came as an emergency session of parliament due to have started by 0800 GMT to weigh a raft of eight bills aimed at raising billions of euros to secure a vital bailout was still not under way more than nine hours later.
Government spokesman Christos Stylianides said the authorities were locked in "hard negotiations with the troika" over the bailout, referring to the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Nicosia has until Monday to raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.47 billion) to unlock loans worth 10 billion euros or face being denied ECB emergency funds in a move that would collapse its economy.
The acting leader of the ruling Disy party leader Averof Neophytou, said he believed a deal was still possible on Friday night.
"We believe that in the next few hours we could be able, with a lot of difficulties, to reach a framework that will be in the policies of the European Union, European Central Bank and IMF," Neophytou told reporters.
"We are trying hard. I believe that we may have a result this day."

The NFL's Day of Mass Confusion
After a Court Ruling, the Jets Won't Let Their Players Work Out; the Giants Take Another Approach
There is no simple way to describe what went down Tuesday at the training facilities of New York's NFL teams. So we're just going to tell it like we saw it.
Bright and early Tuesday morning, Jets offensive lineman Brandon Moore showed up to the team's Florham Park training facility, where he was allowed inside—but not inside the weight room—and where his coaches were "hiding out."
Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty scrambled to line up a flight from North Carolina and a ride to the team's training facility—all in the hopes he might be able to spend a little time in the team's weight room.
Jets linebacker Bart Scott arrived at the training facility in his Ferrari and, after being told he couldn't use the weight room, sped past a handful of reporters without saying a word.
Meanwhile, the occasionally grumpy Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was seen at the practice facility wearing a broad smile and carrying a take-out container of gumbo. "I don't know that they made gumbo knowing I'd be in there today," the Louisiana native said, "but they did a good job…I'm going to go home and cook some rice."
One day after federal judge Susan Nelson issued a ruling lifting the lockout the NFL's owners had imposed on the players, only one thing was clear: nobody had any idea what on Earth is supposed to happen next. Rather than giving us a proper strike, one with picket signs and giant rats and daily sidewalk press conferences, the NFL has produced the sort of labor battle only a lawyer could love.
Some players didn't know if they could use the team's workout facilities. Coaches didn't know if they could actually greet their players. Agents were basically useless and reporters were reduced to standing around and keeping score.
The Jets ultimately had six players drive to the team's facility between 9 and 11 in the morning: Brandon Moore, who was moving to a new house in the afternoon, Bart Scott, lineman D'Brickashaw Ferguson, wideout Jerricho Cotchery, defensive tackle Mike DeVito and linebacker David Harris. All left within roughly 10 minutes. Ferguson, who's scheduled to receive a $750,000 bonus for appearing at a certain number of workouts during the offseason, showed up to pump some iron only to be instructed to go home. He joked about perhaps getting in the next day if he brushed his hair differently.
Meanwhile, Chris Canty, who has a $250,000 workout bonus, seems to have gotten a little closer to earning that paycheck. He showed up to the Giants' digs in East Rutherford, put in two mostly solitary hours in the weight room and declared he'd had "a good workout."
Moore of the Jets, who was one of the team's union representatives before the players association decertified, summed the morning up as disappointing.
Meanwhile at the Giants' headquarters, Canty told the 15 media members on stakeout that there were lots of hugs between the players and coaches—and laughed at reporters who seemed surprised by all the bonhomie. "You're talking about the New York Giants football organization. I didn't expect anything less," Canty said.
Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said the Giants were directed by the league to treat any players who came to their facility "with courtesy and respect." Both Hanlon and Canty blamed the low turnout (only three Giants showed up) on the general state of confusion.
Jacobs said he was out running errands when his agent text-messaged him, saying he thought the running back could use the facility, but he wasn't sure. He said he immediately thought, "I have to go and see if it's true."
Both he and Canty said they talked to head coach Tom Coughlin. Canty said Coughlin, pointing toward the practice fields, said "Hey, hey, the grass out there is ready to go." Jacobs said he planned to work out at the facility Wednesday—until the Giants later Tuesday night released a statement saying they'd have to close their workout and training rooms "until we get clarifications from the pending challenges to the court's decision."
It's not clear what will happen next. NFL owners have asked for a stay of the decision pending an appeal. Moore said either way, he won't be wasting gas to go to the Jets facility until there's a final resolution. "I don't want to keep going there and be told that I can't use the facilities," he said. "It's just getting silly now."

Censorship in the Age of Anything Goes; For Artistic Freedom, It's Not the Worst of Times
By JAMES STERNGOLD
Published: September 20, 1998
LOS ANGELES— Three years ago, Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser joined the legions of writers exploring once taboo subjects when they wrote a script for the Fox drama ''Party of Five,'' in which Julia, a principal character, got pregnant from her first sexual encounter and had an abortion. But, in a sign of the times, Ms. Lippman and Mr. Keyser, the executive producers of the highly regarded television show for young people, were persuaded that the story was too racy and rewrote it so that Julia (Neve Campbell) had a miscarriage before going in for the abortion.
What was striking about their decision was that it came not in response to protests from anti-abortion groups but to the fears of Fox executives, Mr. Keyser and Ms. Lippman said. The executives, they said, were afraid that any attacks might harm the series, which was then struggling, and the writers agreed.
Today the show is a hit, and the story has taken another telling turn. In an episode of ''Party of Five'' written for this fall, Bailey (Scott Wolf), another lead character, helps a pregnant friend get an abortion, only to be told by his girlfriend that should she ever become pregnant she would have the child.
''I feel like we're exploring the subject honestly now, without any constraints,'' said Ms. Lippman.
In fact, the questions of how honest or constrained the arts and entertainment are in these politically charged times are exceptionally difficult to answer. Pressure groups engaged in what are often called the culture wars have never been more visible, commercial concerns have never been more pressing, and, without a doubt, the arts have never been more probing or explicit. The wavering ''Party of Five'' experience elucidates as well as any the complex, tortured arc of creative freedom that currently exists.
A look at many examples in several different media shows that creative license is guided by a highly variable matrix of ethical, esthetic and, especially, commercial influences that have produced a sort of dialectic of freedom: a couple of steps away from the old constraints, a couple of steps backward, then a strong step forward again -- or toward depravity, depending on one's outlook.
In fact, nearly every barrier has come down or come under assault. There is little in the way of statistics to measure censorship or self-censorship, but people who track these issues say that the number of attacks against the entertainment media on moral or other grounds is not rising and may even be declining.
The American Library Association, which compiles annual figures based on reports from its members, said the number of challenges to library books had dropped in recent years. There were 514 such attacks reported in 1991; the figure rose to a peak of 760 in 1994, then declined to 595 last year.
Bo Anderson, general counsel for the Video Software Dealers Association, a trade group for the video industry, said that there had been no increase in the number of cases in which the police have prosecuted video stores or individuals for possessing objectionable material.
Hilary Rosen, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, said that she had found a general drop in the number of instances in which pressure groups sought to have an album suppressed, particularly since the industry began a voluntary system in which distributors place stickers on albums with lyrics that some might find offensive.
''I liken this to a low-level virus,'' said Ms. Rosen, referring to the pressure groups. ''It's always in your body, and sometimes it flares up. There have been maybe 4 instances this year, and 15 last year and 20 the year before that. I'm one of those who believes that freedom of expression is alive and well.''
Ratings and Black Lists
Geoffrey Cowan, dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Southern California and author of ''See No Evil: The Backstage Battle Over Sex and Violence on Television,'' said he agreed, particularly when the long history of censorship was taken into account.
''This is not, in my opinion, the worst of times,'' Mr. Cowan stressed. ''I'd really avoid any of the apocalyptic conclusions you sometimes hear.''
That is not to say, though, that there are not pockets of restraint, particularly for executives who have been chastened by controversies in the past and may need to put the bottom line ahead of First Amendment principles.
''More so than 5 or 15 years ago, you have to be much more careful,'' said Joe Roth, chairman of Walt Disney Studios. '' 'Priest' was the bellwether.'' He was referring to a movie, distributed by a Disney division in 1995, in which two Roman Catholic priests, one straight and one gay, had sexual relationships.
''I think for sure there's a greater chill in the air,'' said Richard Koshalek, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, which had to contend with protests against an installation last year by the artist Robert Gober in which a statue of the Virgin Mary had a large piece of pipe running through her abdomen. Yet Mr. Koshalek and many others acknowledged that these must be placed in historical context.

List of battlecruisers of Russia
After the end of the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, the Russian Naval General Staff decided that it needed a squadron of fast "armored cruisers"[Note 1] that could use their speed to maneuver into position to engage the head of the enemy's battle line, much as Admiral Tōgō had done during the Battle of Tsushima against the Russian fleet.[1] This concept was very different from the primary roles for the battlecruiser envisioned by the British Royal Navy and the Imperial German High Seas Fleet, which consisted of scouting for the main battle fleet and attacking enemy reconnaissance forces.[2] The Royal Navy came to the same conclusion and developed the Queen Elizabeth-class fast battleships that could force battle on an enemy fleet and had enough protection to attack any type of ship.[3] However, World War I and the Russian Civil War interrupted the construction of the Russian Borodino-class ships and all were scrapped.
Twenty years later the Soviet Navy issued a requirement for a ship capable of dealing with enemy cruisers, but the design began to grow as it was modified to allow for combat with German pocket battleships on even terms, and later modified to gain parity with the Scharnhorst-class battleships. Two ships were laid down in 1939, but development of their new guns lagged significantly behind their construction and six 38-centimeter (15 in) twin-gun turrets were ordered from Germany in 1940. The working drawings for the turrets and guns had not even been received when Operation Barbarossa began in June 1941. The incomplete hulls of both ships were ordered scrapped in 1947.[4]
The Navy revived its requirement for a "cruiser-killer" during the war, but the design process was quite lengthy as questions as to its armament, speed and size were debated. Joseph Stalin was the key supporter of these ships and made many of the important decisions himself, overriding the desires of the Navy. Thus, after his death in 1953, little time was wasted in cancelling the three ships that had been laid down. The hull of the most advanced ship was used as a target and the other two were scrapped on their slipways.[5]

Borodino class[edit]
The four Borodino-class battlecruisers (also referred to as Izmail class) of the Imperial Russian Navy were all laid down in December 1912[Note 2] at Saint Petersburg for service with the Baltic Fleet. Construction of the ships was delayed as many domestic factories were already overloaded with orders and some components had to be ordered from abroad. The start of World War I slowed their construction still further as the foreign orders were often not delivered and domestic production was diverted into things more immediately useful for the war effort. The ships were launched in 1915–16, but the outbreak of the Russian Revolution in 1917 put a stop to their construction, which never resumed.[6] The incomplete hulls were later sold for scrap by the Soviet Union, although some thought was given to completing the most advanced hulls. The Soviet Navy made a serious proposal in 1925 to convert Izmail, the ship closest to completion, to an aircraft carrier, but this plan was later cancelled as a result of political maneuvering on the part of the Red Army.[7]

Kronshtadt class[edit]
In the 1930s the Soviets began development of a large cruiser ("bol'shoi kreiser") capable of destroying 10,000-long-ton (10,160 t) cruisers built to the limits imposed by the Washington Naval Treaty, which the Soviets had not signed. Several designs were proposed, but rejected by the Navy before the concept was merged with the small battleship (Battleship 'B') then being designed for service with the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets after the Soviets agreed to follow the terms of the Second London Naval Treaty in 1937. The new design was significantly larger and was also tasked with dealing with German pocket battleships. Four were ordered shortly afterward, but the beginning of the Great Purge in August 1937 hindered the completion of the design process and the project was cancelled in early 1938 after being criticized as too weak in comparison to foreign ships.[13]
The Navy, however, still had a requirement for a ship capable of defeating enemy cruisers and the original concept was revived as Project 69. The proposed size of the ship continually escalated as the requirement was revised to allow it to fight larger ships like the German Scharnhorst-class battleships. The preliminary design was finally approved in January 1939 and two ships were laid down in November 1939, before the detailed design had even been approved.[14]
The Project 69 ships were intended to use a newly designed 305-millimeter (12 in) gun in a new triple turret, but they were both well behind schedule when Joseph Stalin asked the Germans in February 1940 if any triple 283-millimeter (11.1 in) turrets were available for purchase under the German–Soviet Commercial Agreement. When they said no, he then asked if any twin 380-millimeter (15.0 in) turrets were available instead. Krupp had six incomplete turrets on hand that had originally been ordered before the war to rearm the Scharnhorst-class battleships, but they had been cancelled after the start of World War II. A preliminary purchase agreement was made to buy 12 guns and six turrets later that month, well before any studies were made to see if the substitution was even possible. It was later determined that they could be used, so the agreement was finalized in November 1940 with the deliveries scheduled from October 1941 to 28 March 1943.[15]
"Project 69-I" ("Importnyi"—Imported) modified the two ships to use the German guns, even though they still lacked data for the turrets and their barbettes. The detailed design was supposed to be completed by 15 October 1941, but it was rendered pointless when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in June.[16] Neither ship had progressed very far at that time and both had been damaged during the war, so they were ordered scrapped on 24 March 1947 after some thought had been given to completing Kronshtadt as either an aircraft carrier or a mother ship for whalers.[17]

Stalingrad class[edit]
The Navy reissued its requirements for a large cruiser to destroy enemy light cruisers in 1943, but none of the designs submitted were acceptable. The requirement was reissued in 1944 for a larger ship and the concept was approved by the Poliburo in 1945. However, the Navy and the Shipbuilding Commissariat disagreed about the feasibility of laying down any ships of new design before 1950, so a committee was appointed under the chairmanship of Lavrentiy Beria to resolve the issue. It mostly sided with the Shipbuilding Commissariat, but a program of seven large cruisers was approved later that year. Preliminary design work was not completed until 1948 and the size of the ship ballooned to 40,000 tonnes (39,368 long tons). Stalin intervened several times during the design process and ordered the ship's displacement reduced to 36,500 metric tons (35,924 long tons) and speed increased to 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph) as well as specifying its armament as 305 millimeters (12.0 in), rather than the 220 millimeters (8.7 in) preferred by the Navy. All of these changes delayed approval of the detailed design until 1951.[20]
The first ship was begun in November 1951 and the other two followed in 1952. By this time Stalin's support was the main impetus behind the ships and little time was wasted cancelling them after his death on 5 March 1953. Stalingrad's hull was ordered to be used for weapons tests while the two other ships were scrapped where they lay. The hull was launched in 1954 after it was modified to suit its new role. It was towed from Nikolayev to Sevastopol in 1955, but it grounded at the entrance to Sevastopol Bay. Initial attempts to pull it off the rocks by brute force failed, and the capsizing of the battleship Novorossiysk further delayed salvage work, so that she was not freed until mid-1956. She served as a target for the first generation of Soviet anti-ship missiles and a wide variety of armor-piercing weapons before she was scrapped in the early 1960s.[21]

In the UK, wealth management is a favorite buzzword of financial advisors whether they're speaking in front of a board of directors or one on one with an especially affluent client.
Wealth management firms London are especially fond of the term, and they should be since there is a concentration of these types of company in the area. Basically, the individual who is consulting with a wealth management firm is one who aims to better his financial status. For the financial advisor, this means having the ability and insights to give their clients this financial improvement, and they do this by offering or suggesting the full range of applicable services and products that said client should avail.
The wealth, or asset manager, should always give suggestions after a thorough analysis of a client and his needs and never because of a presupposition.
A veteran wealth manager should be able to determine the latest as well as the greatest financial products over the years, although the best in the field in reality have a specialty, and it would be best for them to only offer the services and products that they are most familiar with.
Wealth managers may not even be the person to directly address your financial woes; through a network they will know the right person fit for your needs, as well as the corresponding products.
Even the most affluent of individuals would need consultation to help manage their assets. If you're in the UK, there are plenty of wealth management firms London.
