Audit calls city bonus program to task
"Bid to Goal" could be better managed and more transparent, report says
May 17, 2009: Council members scrutinize bonuses of water workers
The City of San Diego's sole remaining incentive-pay program, available only to water and wastewater department employees, needs to be better implemented and managed to improve transparency and accountability, according to a new audit.
A report by the City Auditor Eduardo Luna recommends that the city's Bid to Goal program would be more accurate and credible if it adopts a series of steps, including developing systems to accurately track administrative costs and expenditures.
The 71-page audit was sought by City Council members who raised concerns last year after an external audit of the program found goals reported met when they were not, and savings that were overstated or miscalculated.
Last year, the program paid about $6.5 million to 1,475 employees who met cost-savings goals and performance targets for the fiscal year ending June 2008. Many employees received the maximum payment allowed of $4,000 after taxes.
The money for the bonuses comes from customer water bills, and not the city's general fund. Jim Barrett, the city's public utilities director, says it helps enhance efficiency and motivate employees to work within their budgets.

In the process I had to change a file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
The documentation advises to change it into:

Guess what? I literally added

instead of the dedicated servers IP. I restarted the server and now I'm not able to access my SSH anymore. Can anyone help me to gain access to my SSH again?

Aveda Experience Center opens in Brookfield Square Mall
Minnesota company partnering with local spa to open center
Aveda, national manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic products, has partnered with Milwaukee-based Neroli Salon and Spa to open the Aveda Experience Center retail store in Brookfield Square Mall.
The 1,500 square-foot store, located near the main entrance of the mall, opened on Black Friday. Plans for a formal grand opening are in the works.
The new Aveda Experience Center offers a series of "rituals of renewal" designed to relax and rejuvenate, including a hand and shoulder ritual used to relieve stress.
Complimentary tea and skin and hair consultations are also offered.
"Aveda Experience Center retail stores embody our high-touch service philosophy," said Catherine Culotta, Vice President of retail for Aveda. "Experience Centers are oases of stress relief where guests can relax with a moment of wellness, experience Aveda products and receive referrals to full-service salons and spas in their neighborhood."
Headquartered in Minnesota, Aveda maintains a variety of partnerships with salons and spas that use their products, including Neroli Salon and Spa.
Neroli Salon and Spa exclusively uses Aveda products and has four locations in the Milwaukee area, including one at Sendik's Towne Centre on Brookfield Road.
"When presented with the opportunity to partner with Aveda on this project we knew it was the right time to continue growing our business in Milwaukee," said Susan Haise, owner of Neroli Salon and Spa.
Aveda says its cosmetics are eco-friendly: skin and hair care products are made from pure flower and plant essences.

BVVR - Fusion (Fusion 2014 Anthem)IHU1008 - July 7th, 2014
It's hard to put your finger on 'Fusion' - is it a happy, hooky anthem? Or is it a hands-up big room tune? Is it trance or is it house? Or, is it as the name suggests, a proper mixture of styles? There's a reason this tune was chosen as the 2014 Fusion Festival Anthem, as it has the power to win you over one play at a time. Be warned that there's a more than fair chance BVVR's creation will get stuck in your head!

Severe winter weather doesn't stand a chance against this pro-level jacket.
The Arc'teryx Women's Alpha SV Jacket has a durable N80p-X Gore-Tex Pro shell that withstands the kind of horrendous weather that rends tents to tatters and forces the Yeti to seek shelter. Whether you're a medic on a search-and-rescue chopper, guiding a group of novice ice climbers, or backpacking through the Olympic National Forest, the e3D design and uber-tough Gore-Tex Pro fabric lets you move the way you want, and stay protected from the elements, too.
N80p-X Gore-Tex Pro is a mouthful, and hardly scratches the surface of this amazing fabric—literally. Made from tightly woven nylon, this guaranteed waterproof and breathable fabric resists abrasions, scratches, and general horseplay with nary a scrape. The dense construction minimizes exposed strands of fabric, reducing the potential for damage from rock faces, tools, or just the occasional cold shoulder. The smooth surface of this uber-techy fabric won't get roughed up from harness straps, nor will it cause your fabric purses to pill when you wear it around town.
This jacket shows why it's the alpha in the pack with all of the bells and whistles complementing the Gore-Tex shell. Arc'teryx's e3D design gives you freedom to move without ripping the jacket or exposing more of you than absolutely necessary. The hood is helmet-compatible so you can protect your melon from the elements and not just falling rocks or oblivious skiers. You can access the two bellowed chest pockets while wearing a pack, and the sleeve stash pocket lets you hide an $20 for the first pitcher after a hard day on the hill. Underarm vents let you blow off steam as you scrape an inch of ice off your windshield or hump up 3,000 vertical feet in less than a mile.
- N80p-X Gore-Tex Pro 3L face fabrice
- e3D design, free range of motion
- Updated design, reduced chest circumference, more efficient arms
- Underarm zip vents

Great jacket!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XL
I have been shopping for a hard shell that will stand up to snowboarding, rainy concerts at Red Rocks and anything else I need it to do. I have an hourglass shape so finding something wide enough at the bottom without being oversized at the chest was key. I got the XL to accommodate layers and it fits great and performed well on rainy hikes this fall. The snow is falling so snowboarding is around the corner.
perfect for this buying
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
worthy for the price, i got the most suitable one
Bombproof Shell
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I got this jacket as a gift for my stepmom, who was in desperate need of a new shell and kept running into fit issues. She put this one on and it fit like a glove! No weird zipper bulk in the front that gives the weird uni-boob look. The drop-hem is a nice touch to help protect on the wetter days without being too long. And it actually fit through the torso and sleeve length- everything else from Patagonia was fitting her short. The material on the shell is nice as well, not super stiff but definitely bombproof and ready to protect against the wind and precip. Zipper works smoothly, doesn't get stuck. She wears a Medium in most tops and a Medium in this jacket fits nice with enough room for a couple of layers.
Another top notch product from ArcTeryx!
Love at first Zip!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
The minute I put this jacket on and zipped it up, I knew it was going to be my new favorite piece! I can easily go from snowboarding on a Powder day to an evening (spring) hike on the Wasatch Front. This Jacket is great for the rainy spring days that are upon us, to the spring storms that greet us Here in Utah.
I Purchased the Orange color that they call Cayenne. I've never owned this bright of a jacket, but I do fancy the color very much! The detailed pictures of this jacket are more true to the color than the basic color choice by the sizing button.
Jacket is super light weight. Jacket has an amazing range of motion. I stay dry with the GORE-TEX and my temperature can be regulated with the vents under the arm. (No mesh in vents is a bonus)
I usually buy my jackets a bit bigger because I like a longer jacket. When I stepped up in size it didn't get much longer just wider. Still very happy with the shape of the jacket.
Dry FOREVER.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this jacket since Christmas of 2006 (so I'm reviewing a VERY old model here with Gore-Tex XCR instead of Proshell). So while I can't speak to the specifics of the current model on a day-in-day-out level, I can say this -- it is 2014 - and this thing has been across the country with me. It has gone up mountains, down mountains. It's traveled hundreds of miles off shore (remote-island life and whale watching). It has lasted through many summers of field work (read: bushwacking, hiking through clearcuts, 5-year old clearcuts, in terrible weather day in and day out). It has helped me through a master's thesis and 3 different jobs (it even effectively shed my tears when I got laid off when the economy tanked). It has been outside through the duration of 3 different hurricanes (all activities during hurricanes not endorsed by author).
I'm still dry. Never once gotten the least bit wet. Never once did I think it was not breathable enough. Despite being dragged through terrible brush, it doesn't have holes. It's a little dirty - but less dirty than anything else I've owned this long. The older models fit tighter than the newer models - so that's something to keep in mind - both Arc'T and Backcountry are great at helping you find the right size if you need.
love it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
The Arc'teryx Women's Alpha SV Jacket is the best jacket. i wore this jacket skiing , climb snow mountain and ice climbing. Arc'teryx's e3D design gives us freedom to move without ripping the jacket or exposing more of us than absolutely necessary. i love it.
My Mother loves it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Fits great and deals with the Buffalo winter like a champ. Couldn't be better.
Where does this jacket hit? Is it hip length?
Hey Eleanor,
The Alpha SV is a hip length jacket. There are longer options like the Theta AR depending on what you are looking to use the jacket for. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions about Arc'teryx jackets..

How bright is this green? Can you compare it to something or provide a more accurate color sample? Thanks!
It's bright! I just posted another picture, but ours is definitely very accurate. If you google "Arcteryx Midori Green" you'll see a few other pieces that are the exact same color!

By Chad FreyNewton KansanThe community of Burrton is banking on people looking for an inexpensive day out — offering a Fall Festival full of free entertainment Sept. 29."We've tried to create a fall festival you can come, enjoy and not bring a bucket of money to," said organizer Carol Kirk. "The only charges are for vendors, crafters and food booths."Want a ride in a hot air balloon? No problem. How about a pony ride, or a car show to walk through?. Maybe it's a parade that strikes your fancy, or watching a talent competition.All those things will be free, starting at about 8 a.m. Sept. 29 in downtown Burrton.The festival is becoming an annual tradition in the small community located on the Harvey/Reno County line — and a day Kirk says is important to the town."It's a great way to bring communities together and give them a time to gather and visit," Kirk said."New events this year include the hot air balloon rides, weather permitting, the pony rides and a milking demonstrations.Returning to the schedule is an event growing in popularity — lawnmower drag races.There';s also a new event that Kirk said she hopes will be really popular."We've got 'Burrton's Got Talent,'" Kirk said. "It's all local talent, and talent in general. I don't know what all the acts will be."She said there will be about 30 craft booths during the day, along with food venders downtown.For more information, visit burrtonkansas.com.

Can someone tell me how exactly "abolishing the [Maori] seats would... hurt social cohesion in New Zealand," or is the Greens Frog Blog (sorry, frog blog) talking:
a) "the politics of racial divisiveness"
b) racist nonsense
c) gibberish
d) spin.

When abolishing racism is racism

The usual post-modernist claptrap that classifies people into groups, some oppressed, some not, and justifies any special use of other people's money, or regulating other people's lives or property - for the sake of the so-called oppressed group.ReplyDelete
How do these people cope with Maori who are wealthy through private enterprise? How do the Greens cope with looking at people and not judging them by race?
Yes, how are people classified into groups! Gee, hmmm... that's a hum-dinger, that!ReplyDelete

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://www.bidtrendz.com/collectible/feed/rss2/'. Line 129, Position 18
This is happening in two blogs I have going - is it related to the character encoding? I did read a post from someone who was having problems with German characters in their blog. The only thing I can think of, is I used a British "pound" symbol in a couple of posts.
Or am I off base here, and it's something else?

The kingdom of Arles was not part of France at the time, and actually owed fealty to the pope and not the king of France. At the time it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire. However, it was very close to France.

Great Staff, Clean Rooms
The breakfast. Clean. Roomy. Large parking lot.
I could hear the conversation in the next room pretty clear. A woman talking about hunting.
Almost all of the staff was super friendly and personable. The hotel was really clean and comfortable.
There was a night when the fire alarm accidentally went off. The man working that shift was very rude when asked questions instead of being kind to those confused. He also wanted to charge for complementary waters. Not very friendly, too busy facetiming.
Very Clean and the breakfast was excellent.
I liked a restaurant are bar in house
Also a very nice atrium with and pool and hot tub inside
It was a newer hotel for this area. So everything is still new and not used up yet. The pool and hot tub was very nice and the basketball goal on side of the pool was a good idea. The breakfast was a good try but still its the same as all the other. It is a nice hotel for the price and is in a good location.
The staff was not very well trained. They needed more experience and better personality but it was North Dakota. The hotel was trying hard to be more than they was( shooting for the stars). Two and a half stars from me. Not because the hotel was not nice but because of the way they tried To Petray theirselves. You are a Baymont inn that's all.
I like the soft pillows
I thought maybe the pool area could be renovated
How quiet it was. I was concerned at first by how many rooms were on the first floor but I heard no one above us or the guys next to us who were watching football.
The beds are hard too firm not comfortable
This motel was average with no real amenities.
Motel is owned and operated by a family from India. Some of them live at the motel in rental rooms. I stay on the 3rd floor and one of the owners (or their family) lived down the hall from me. They cooked meals in their room and the smell permeated the entire floor. The smell was terrible and to make it worse they tried to cover it up by burning incense. I will not stay here again.
I've stayed at the days inn several times and the beds and staff are always awesome. There is typically some hair in the bathroom from previous guests so attention to cleaning could use a boost but overall, I've found the days inn a great place to overnight when waiting for early morning flights.
Frequently there is hair left behind from previous guests in the bathtub.
Right off the interstate
Great breakfast and room were awesome
24hr restaraunts right in the parking lot.
No complaints
Friendly staff, complimentary happy hour
Shallow pool for kids Breakfast was good
I don't see how this is a 3 star hotel. Shower leaked, door hinges missing screws, door had screw holes in it. Hot tub jets weren't working properly. Very disappointed in its 3 star rating. It's maybe a 2 at best.
Very nice looking. Very comfortable. Friendly staff.
Room was a bit dorty
Hard to find, out of the way, poor neighborhood, Windows loose-fitting so wind came thru.
The hotel was really clean smelt good when we walked in our room was spacious, everything was clean. The staff that checked us in was talkative and nice.
My wife and I needed a vacation get away for the weekend after some loss in our lives. We pick this hotel looked quiet and hot tub and newer and had a bar. Well we check in and nothing was explained about the breakfast or complimentary breakfast. So we missed out on that we check in hoping to get into the hot tub before we go eat, dinner shop all that good stuff, hot tub is down and after reading the reviews happens quite often there. So we go to our room and the room is awesome but the beds are quite hard, I know can never win with beds, to hard or to soft but I sat down on the bed and no give to them. So we shop eat dinner and come back to our room and want to head to the lounge for a drink, we walk in the guy working the front desk is at the bar watching TV and I ask is the lounge open and he said nope closed up and mind you this was on a Saturday night at 10:30!!! The get away we was hoping for didn't quite plan out for us as no hot tub bar closes early on weekends, no real luxury for this stay that night!
Rooms were fine,comfortable bed
Hotel apparently changed hands after I had booked and paid for my stay. The advertised on site restaurant no longer exists,which was a determining factor on my choice originally, given that there are no places to go within walking distance, and I was reliant on taxi service. Morning breakfast was pitiful-stale packaged muffins or bagels.
Historical home with nice gardens & friendly owners
Nosiy at night with trains
I loved the opportunity that I had to stay in a Victorian style accommodation and my mom enjoyed it as well. The family style dining with total strangers was a new concept for myself.
I felt that some of the staff did not engage me as a customer.
Nice clean beds
No swimming pool, no continental breakfast
Everything was good. Comfortable.
they told me after booking they do not have a shuttle, or that it only runs at certain hours. What's funny is I ended up at the select inn, their sister hotel. all of the pictures on the site for magic motel and are in fact pictures of the select inn. Then, when I tried to get a refund, they told the person that called ,after I asked for my money back, that kayaks site is misrepresenting them and it should be their fault. Lastly, if they do not have a shuttle then why was I able to snap a picture of the shuttle at select in which had both hotels on the side. They are scammers and the room looks like a cinder block dungeon and smells like mold, animals, oils , it is not clean. The staff are country and horrible backwoodsy kind weird.
The pillows were so bad I went and bought my own.

"Musically, they sure ain't no stuffy preservationists;
whether a bitter lament or an earthy hard-driving breakdown, with Marc's squeezebox, Ann's guitar, and their highly capable sons Joel and Wilson on fiddle and keyboards, the Savoys cover the Cajun spectrum with a dazzling mixture of spiritual joy and virtuoso voltage." -Jonny Whitesides-Los Angeles Times
Summer of 2014 Savoy Family Band had the thrill of cruising down the Adriatic on a five masted sailing vessel...with a bunch of fun and crazy people.
Here we are playing in a disco(!) in Montenegro, with friends.
To see more about our great summer, plus some videos, clickhere.
Carrying on Traditional Cajun Music
The Savoy Family Cajun Band plays honed down, hard-core Cajun music laced with an earthy sensuality. In their hands, the old tunes have been revived and returned to new life. Marc and Ann Savoy and their sons Joel and Wilson are strong individual musicians working together to create a tight, intense sound.
Marc and Ann have been performing and recording together since 1977. They have traveled all over the world, appearing in such prestigious venues as the Newport Folk Festival, the Berlin Jazz Festival, the Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, and the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. Ann and Joel appeared in the film Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and they performed on the Warner Brothers Soundtrack, as well as at the film's premiere in Los Angeles. Ann served as associate music producer on All The King's Men (Sony Pictures) , wrote a song that was used in the film, and she, Joel and Wilson appeared therein with Sean Penn as musicians.
Marc Savoy has received the National Heritage Fellowship Award. Marc and Ann appeared on the PBS series "American Roots," and Ann wrote the chapter on Cajun music in the book , Rolling Stones Press,that accompanied the series. Ann was awarded the Botkin Book Award for her definitive Cajun Music, A Reflection of a People. Wilson, as a member of the Grammy-nominated Pine Leaf Boys, appeared on HBO's "Treme" series. And Joel was a founding member of the Red Stick Ramblers and today has his own record company, Valcour Records..
Maintaining a more acoustic approach to Cajun music, the Savoy Family Cajun Band can nonetheless hold its own amongst Cajun music lovers everywhere, and takes pride in drawing considerable power from four acoustic instruments. Sometimes the group demonstrates the way Cajun music has evolved by featuring the early double fiddle - triangle sound or an accordion - fiddle duet. Early French ballads are added to the program to show other historic elements of early southwest Louisiana.
Between the songs Ann may briefly translate the songs' Cajun French poetry. She also, sometimes, in concert settings, does beautiful readings from the old Cajun masters from her book on the history of Cajun music.The repertoire is chosen carefully: popular dancehall tunes interspersed with soulful ballads, fiddle and vocal duets, and blues. The songs show the spectrum of Cajun life from sorrow and lost love to nonsense and the joy of dance. The Savoy Family Cajun Band brings the raw energy of the dancehalls of southwest Louisiana to the stage, peppered with humorous and informative anecdotes about life in the Cajun heartland.
Playing at a circus in Bagnolet, outside of Paris, October 1014-Sarah Savoy Trio was opening act!
Listen to the band play a rockin' out tune!

I would appreciate if anyone can help!
I've been having probelms with adding images and widgets on my blog at http://www.howtobeatinsomnia.com/blogs
It's almost done but I've been pulling my hair out for the past day trying to find answers and figure this out.
I've tried to install a widget(I've uninstalled it now), when it's viewed on the main page it seems fine but when you click on a post it appears at the bottom of the post. I have no idea how to fix this.
I really am a complete newbie, I'm surprised I've gotten this far. Does anyone know how to fix this????
I previously added a large image that had the same effect. I then reduced th size which seemed to sort it. I figured it was to do with the sidebar width and although I've been messing around with the code - I really have no clue and have been screwing it further.
Please help!

Summer is typically the time movie studios release their big multi-million dollar blockbusters on big screens all over the country.
This Friday, July 31, for the first time in a decade, Marion Countians may have a chance to watch a movie on a big screen in Lebanon. It may not be a summer blockbuster ("Happy Feet" is scheduled to be shown), but the first "Cinema at the Square" should be a memorable event (weather-permitting, of course).
It was refreshing to see the guest column in the July 15 edition of The Lebanon Enterprise by Brooke Lee. She expressed very well what some students in our community are trying to accomplish to reduce underage drinking. Many people think the problem of underage drinking in Marion County is minimal or doesn't exist. But, talk to teenagers, they will tell you that it goes on all the time.
Years ago, when I still lived and worked in Iowa, I was on a plane from Chicago to Omaha when an older man who walked with a cane and severe limp took the seat next to mine.
He was on his way back to British Columbia, and he still had to switch planes a few more times before he got home. As we talked, I couldn't help asking him about his health issues.
When I asked him what he thought of Canadian health care system? He said he loved it.
This week's Lebanon Enterprise is depressing.
Any time we have bad news to report, it's depressing, but it's rare that so much bad news happens all at once.
During the last eight days, Marion County has experienced a murder/suicide, an attempted murder, the arrest of four firefighters (and reports from the Kentucky State Police that more arrests are possible) and a car accident that forced an emergency Caesarean section. More sadly, the baby, Raelyn Michelle "Skeeter" Gribbins, died the day after the accident.
I subscribe to The Lebanon Enterprise, which means I receive my copy in the mail late in the afternoon.
YAC, or Youth Advisory Council, was started at the high school two years ago by students who felt there was a problem that needed to be addressed. We meet once a month in the morning before school starts. Being an active member of this club since its beginning has impacted me greatly. We have made a lot of accomplishments that I had never dreamt of. The purpose of this club is to raise awareness of underage drinking. Among the students at school, I'm in the minority of kids who don't drink.
"A good man's gone" That was the headline of my father's column on the opinion page in the April 8, 1981 edition of The Lebanon Enterprise. It was about his buddy, John Sheperson, who he referred to as "Shep," who had been working as a Kentucky State Trooper in Marion County for 11 years and had been promoted to sergeant, which meant he would be working in Morehead instead of Marion County. I was only a year old at the time, so I obviously didn't read this particular piece by my father, but a copy of the article was given t
At a time when the economy isn't exactly stellar, it's nice when something gives a boost to the local economy. Three years ago, the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission recruited a model jet show to the Lebanon-Springfield Airport. The event has grown every year, and the 2009 Jets Over Kentucky show was the biggest one yet. More than 100 pilots (representing all 50 states and England) brought nearly 200 model planes and attracted thousands of visitors to the area during the showcase. The show itself expanded as well.

Gender Inclusive Housing on campus
A housing option in which two or more students may share a multiple-occupancy apartment regardless of the students' sex or gender
Gender Inclusive Bathrooms on campus
Single stall restrooms that can be used by people of all genders or no gender.
Purpose of Gender Inclusive Housing:
Housing & Residence Life works to provide a safe, inclusive, comfortable and supportive living experience for all students living in Grand Valley State University's living centers and apartments. Gender Inclusive Housing is open to all students whose needs are not met by our traditional housing options and supports the University's non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. Gender Inclusive Housing is defined as a housing option in which two or more students may share a multiple-occupancy apartment regardless of the students' sex or gender.
Housing Request Process:
If you are interested in a gender-inclusive room or apartment space, a student must fill out a request form indicating why their needs are not being met by our traditional housing options and request which options may be suitable for a better, more inclusive learning environment. Once the request is received, a committee (comprised of representatives from faculty, athletics, LGBT Resource Center staff & housing staff) will meet to determine the best option for success for the student. Gender Inclusive Housing assignments vary based on student needs, application date, and availability. As with all living centers, students who would like to live in Gender Inclusive Housing are encouraged to request roommates and apply early.
Note: Students will be notified within 2 weeks of when a request is submitted. The more information that is provided in the request, the faster and more efficient the committee can make a decision.
If you have any questions about this process or would like to discuss your interest or preferences, please contact Carrie Simmons in the Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center (616.331.2530) or Dena Willis in Housing and Residence Life (616.331.2120).
T3 created the anyBODYS app to help students, faculty, staff, and visitors of Grand Valley State University find single-stall, gender inclusive bathrooms on each of GVSU's campuses. To download the Android app, click here. To download the Apple app, click here.

For me, uploading a photo for one of my blogs is easy. That's because I understand some HTML. But for others that use WordPress and don't know any HTML, it seems an impossible task.
One might be able to figure out how to upload the photo and then insert the link into the blog. Other than that, you need to know HTML to make the photo display right unless you want a photo at the end of your blog that is 7 million pixels wide.
A Solution:
I have found that it looks much more professional by adding a bit extra HTML to the img tag that is inserted into the blog. First, place the img tag at the very beginning of the blog. Then you could add inside the img tag a simple "align='left'" or "align='right'". With that, add onto the img tag a style="margin: 5px" to pad the image and also a border="1". This next addition I think is probably the simplest way to make a thumbnail on the fly with a user who knows no HTML. Just add width="200". That'll at least size it down to fit in the blog and look nice, but also make the whole image a link that will pop-up the whole original photo in a pop-up window for them to view.
This should automatically be inserted when any image is uploaded to be used with the blog. Then the user doesn't need to know to add the img tag into the blog and what-not.
Now, I know for the rest of us who have quite a lot of experience in creating web pages, we alone could do alot better job. But I think if we make it easy for users to add a photo into one of their posts, it'll make using WordPress alot more enjoyable.
Then once that is implemented, you could even take it further by adding more photos to one post and just displaying those thumbnails at the bottom of the post.
Blogs are great because we can say what we want. But most people would rather let a photo tell the story.

News I Would Like to Visit the World's Newest Country
posted by February 18 at 15:05 PMon
Well, it's new to us, anyhow.
I hear the national sport is hurtling babies over barbed-wire fences!
« Seen At Northgate & 5th: | And Also? "Zipster" Is Not a W... »
Well, maybe if you go there, they'll throw you over a fence. Oh, excuse me, that was BABIES, not BABES.
In Kosovo, that's called "vacation".
Damn, now my book on European microstates is out of date.
Watching the re-Balkanization of the Balkans is an amazing thing.
When are they bringing back the Archduke Ferdinand?
Breaking News: Now the Serbs in Kosovo are revolting. It never ends.
Such hypocrisy from the Western powers on this whole mess. It's just unfortunate that there really is no good solution to the problem of Kosovo. No matter what happens people will be hurt.
It's really unfortunate for the Kosovar Albanians (who did the declaring and all) because they're sending their own economic self-interest up the river. As a part of Serbia they were receiving massive aid in the form of federal social programs due to their incredibly high unemployment rate. In addition they now have considerably less bargaining leverage with the large capitalist countries. Bad bad bad move Kosovo.
Fifty-Two-Eighty: and you're surprised by this why?
Yep, they're darn proud:
Is it just me, or are those kid's legs the only things holding up two freaking strands of barbed wire?
Abby, the only thing that surprised me was that they waited a full day before they started rioting.
That's really not funny.
@ 11: That is TOTALLY funny. I literally laugued out loud.
For some reason the peninsula in the Wikipedia map looks somewhat less like a schlong.

I love stories with funny, happy endings !!! Sure didn't know alligators ate feces.
"So, let me get this straight. We are saying that the appropriate penalty for attempting to break into a car is to be eaten alive by an alligator. I dislike the BG's as much as the rest, but I think I will take a pass on that one."
Yuk Yuk...It's not like he went before a judge for the crime of breaking into a vehicle and the judge sentenced him to be devoured by a hungry alligator as punisment for his crime.
He ran from the law right into the jaws of death.
It just was not his day.

Jeez, lighten up. It's not like he went to court and the judge sent him to the alligator pond. He jumped in. I don't think anybody is saying breaking into a car means death by alligator. The point is the BG got paid for being a BG. It wouldn't have happened if he had been in school or at work.
Go Gators!

Microsoft has rolled a faster and sleeker version of Bing to help its users do more in less time.
Peter Maxmin, head of Bing UK added, "Most of us would like to spend less time searching for information online, as, let's face it, there is more to life than search. We want to make your search experience quicker and easier so you can get on with the important stuff."
The first thing you will notice is a new slicker, cleaner design starting with the homepage, which allows for a much larger homepage image.
In addition the results themselves are cleaner. Removing the information on the left of the page and minimizing the header raises the level of consistency and predictability while making it easier for you to scan the page and quickly find the information you want. Increasing the space between lines improves readability and optimizes the page for touch devices.
The new experience is more than skin-deep. You will also notice faster page-load times and improved relevance under the hood. After all, Bing's goal is to help you spend less time searching and more time doing. Changing how Bing looks is the next big step in doing just that.
For advertisers Bing puts you in touch with audiences actively seeking information on your product. The unique profiling features of Microsoft adCenter deliver clicks that count through targeting users by demographic and time of day.
Many advertisers are seeing great results, including Eurostar, the high-speed passenger rail service directly linking the UK to continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel. Their results speak for themselves: the click-to-sale ratio was 35% higher on Bing than the other engines, and the cost-of-sale rate was 16% lower. In addition, the click-throughrate grew to nearly 5 times the average from all search advertising.

American Nurses Band Together to Expose Health Risks of Fracking and Fossil Fuel Energy [1]
Carol Linnitt [2] | June 22, 2012
By Carol Linnitt [2] • Friday, June 22, 2012 - 11:48
Nurses from the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA) are proposing they take on a more prominent role in connecting the dots between human health and fossil fuel-based energy [3]. Their public policy proposal, "Nurses Role in Recognizing, Education and Advocating for Healthier Energy Choices," was passed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) House of Delegates last week [3]. Developed in Pennsylvania, one of North America's fracking hotspots, the proposal suggests nurses take on an educational role, acting as a conduit between those affected by energy pollution and medical professionals.
Within this framework medical professionals cannot legally inform patients that they may be suffering from symptoms induced by exposure to the fracking process.
