AUSTIN (November 22, 2013) The Texas Department of Transportation said Friday it plans to continue to release the names of habitual toll-road freeloaders every month.
TxDOT will next publish updated lists of the state's 25 worst scofflaws starting on Dec. 2, the agency said Friday.
TxDOT says it has already has entered into payment discussions with 10 of the top 25 violators publicized last month, and six of those are now in good standing.
The department collected $1.3 million in unpaid tolls and fees in just the past month, TxDOT finance chief James Bass said.
"This is good news for the thousands of law-abiding citizens who do pay their tolls on time and is an initiative TxDOT will continue to take seriously as we pursue millions of dollars in delinquent tolls on behalf of Texas taxpayers," he said.

UPDATED 6:07 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- All-America left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix are leading a contingent of Alabama players leaving early for the NFL.
Those two Crimson Tide stars were joined in announcing their departures Thursday by linebacker Adrian Hubbard and defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan.
Clinton-Dix and Kouandjio are widely projected as first-round picks. Hubbard and Pagan also could be early-round selections.
The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Kouandjio was a first-team Associated Press All-American.
Clinton-Dix had 52 tackles and two interceptions. He missed two games after accepting a short-term loan from an assistant strength and conditioning coach who's no longer employed by the university.
Alabama has had 11 first-round picks in the last four years, more than any other team. Eleven of the 13 players who have left early under Nick Saban were first-rounders.
TUSCALOOSA, AL -- The Alabama Football Team is known for it's ability to re-load. The Crimson Tide will have to do that once again, after four key underclassmen entered the NFL Draft on Thursday.
Junior safety Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, junior offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio and junior defensive linemen Jeoffrey Pagan and Adrian Hubbard have turned pro. Clinton-Dix and Kouandjio are projected as first round picks.
Kouandjio has been rated as one of the top left tackles in the country for the entire season. Clinton-Dix is rated as the top safety prospect in the draft.
Alabama's defense takes a major hit with Thursday's announcement. The Crimson Tide were already preparing to replace several key starters on that side of the ball, including C.J. Mosley and Deion Belue.
The Alabama offensive line will also have holes to fill with Kouandjio and graduating senior Anthony Steen leaving the team. The Tide will also graduate quarterback A.J. McCarron, wide receivers Kenny Bell and Kevin Norwood and both specialists in kicker Cade Foster and punter Cody Mandell.

The Howlin' Brothers
At first glance, the Howlin' Brothers — who do actually howl sometimes mid-song — seems like a family band who grew up pickin' the local musical vernacular deep in the southern Appalachians. They are, in fact, a string band adept at pickin' all the traditional stuff, but Ian Craft, Jared Green, and Ben Plasse hail from New York, Wisconsin, and Nova Scotia, respectively, aren't related, and played in Ithaca College studios instead of the holler. And they like to mess with tradition, venturing from bluegrass all over the Americana map to rock 'n' roll, making it all work with playful, gritty spirit. The trio hooked up with Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs fame to produce their first national release, this spring's Howl, a rousing romp of originals and scattered covers by the likes of John Hartford. "The Tennessee Blues" is a bluesy shuffle. "Tell Me That You Love Me" lays wailing fiddles over blues-rock. "Just Like You" is country blues. "Take This Hammer" is an Earl Scruggs-like breakdown. "Mama Don't You Tell Me" is laced with gospel. And "Delta Queen" incorporates New Orleans traditional jazz and is driven by a funky NOLA second line beat. Opening will be the Boys 'n the Barrels, a local outfit with an expansive definition of bluegrass.

Red Huber, Pool, Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — A case that involved years of forensic investigation, weeks of often highly technical testimony and untold hours of media analysis turned out to be pretty straightforward for the jurors weighing whether Casey Anthony killed her toddler daughter.
Early in their second day of deliberations, the 12 men and women concluded the 25-year-old lied to investigators but wasn't guilty in her child's death.
Now Anthony waits to learn if she could spend her first night out of jail in almost three years since she was first accused in the case. She was only convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators Tuesday, and it's possible that Judge Belvin Perry could sentence her to time already served for those crimes. The four counts of lying to sheriff's deputies each carry a maximum sentence of one year.
Anthony has been in jail since her October 2008 arrest on first-degree murder charges. She avoided a possible death sentence thanks to her acquittal on the murder count. The case began in July 2008 when Caylee Anthony was reported missing.
"I'm very happy for Casey, ecstatic for her and I want her to be able to grieve and grow and somehow get her life back together," defense attorney Jose Baez said Tuesday. "I think this case is a perfect example of why the death penalty does not work ... Murder is not right, no matter who does it."
The trial became a national sensation on cable TV, with its CSI-style testimony about duct-tape marks on the child's face and the smell of death inside a car trunk.
After a trial of a month and a half, the jury took less than 11 hours to find Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.
Tears welled in Anthony's eyes, her face reddened, her lips trembled, and she began breathing heavily as she listened to the verdict.
Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, left court quickly after the verdict without hugging or saying anything to their daughter.
Many in the crowd of about 500 people outside the courthouse reacted with anger after the verdict was read, chanting, "Justice for Caylee!" One man yelled, "Baby killer!"
Given the relative speed with which the jury came back with a verdict, many court-watchers were expecting Anthony to be convicted in the killing, and they were stunned by the outcome.
Sentencing was set for Thursday. Anthony could get up to a year behind bars on each count of lying to investigators. But since she has been in jail for nearly three years already, she could walk free.
Prosecutors contended that Anthony — a single mother living with her parents — suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to hit the nightclubs and spend time with her boyfriend.
Defense attorneys argued that the little girl accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool and that Anthony panicked and hid the body because of the traumatic effects of being sexually abused by her father.
The case played out on national television almost from the moment Caylee was reported missing three years ago. CNN's hard-nosed Nancy Grace dissected the case at every turn with the zeal of the prosecutor she once was, arguing that Anthony was responsible for her daughter's death. The TV host turned the term "tot mom" into shorthand for Anthony.
Anthony's attorney Cheney Mason blasted the media after the verdict.
"Well, I hope that this is a lesson to those of you having indulged in media assassination for three years, bias, prejudice and incompetent talking heads saying what would be and how to be," Mason said.

(Adds detail, company exec quotes, analyst comment)
By Devidutta Tripathy and Nidhi Verma
NEW DELHI, June 24 India's Oil & Natural Gas Corp (ONGC.BO) reported an unexpected 16 percent drop in March quarter profit, but was bullish on the outlook for the current fiscal year partly because of possible deregulation of fuel prices.
The state-run firm's profits fell as it helped subsidise cheap retail fuel prices and as it set aside 8.6 billion rupees ($175 million) as a provision for a matter under arbitration.
"Last year numbers were depressed for very specific reasons, Chairman and Managing Director Sharma said.
"So, I do feel that those negative pressures will not be there to that extent during the current fiscal and I see every reason for the current fiscal year result to be better."
India's re-elected government has said it would look at deregulating fuel prices. Currently, state-run producers such as ONGC are forced to subsidise state oil marketing companies to sell fuel products at below-market prices to consumers.
"It is very much visible that the reformist agenda (of the government) is very much vocal," said Sharma.
R. S. Butola, managing director of the overseas arm ONGC Videsh, said recent estimates showed reserves of Russia-focused Imperial Energy, which ONGC bought last year, were at 946 million barrels, higher than earlier estimates of 920 million barrels.
He declined to comment on whether ONGC was interested in Addax Petroleum AXC.TO AXC.L. On Wednesday, China's Sinopec Group agreed to buy Addax for about $7.2 billion. [ID:nBNG477261]
Ahead of the results, shares in ONGC, India's second most-valuable company with a market capitalisation of $45 billion, rose 2.4 percent in a market that rose 0.7 percent.
"Currently, ONGC is overpriced based on its production profile," said Amit Shah, a research analyst with BNP Paribas Securities. Shah currently has a reduce' rating on the stock.
"The structural flaw with the company is its production inefficiency," Shah said.
The oil and gas explorer said net profit fell 16 percent to 22.07 billion rupees in the March quarter.
In April, a Reuters poll found ONGC was expected to report a 31 percent rise in net profit to 34.5 billion rupees, based on an assumption it would not incur subsidy costs.
In late May, the company said it would have a subsidy bill of 8.52 billion rupees for the quarter, although that was down 90 percent from a year earlier. [ID:nBMA002953]
Turnover in the quarter declined 12 percent to 138.15 billion rupees, and crude oil production in the quarter fell to 6.48 million metric tonnes from 6.95 mmt a year earlier.
ONGC's gross realisations more than halved to $47.85 per barrel in the quarter as global crude prices fell, and net realisations fell to $43.40 per barrel from $49.66 a year ago.
Net profit for the year 2008/09 declined 3 percent to 161.26 billion. (Writing by Ami Shah; Editing by John Mair)

Despite some large daily swings, stocks roughly traced a V-shape in the quarter, declining through the middle of February and then rising for the remainder of the period. Further global monetary easing and a rebound in oil prices led to gains in the second half of the quarter, which more than compensated for earlier losses for the mid- and large-cap benchmarks. Smaller shares recorded losses. Among mid-caps, growth stocks trailed value shares by a wide margin.
The Mid-Cap Growth Fund returned −0.42% in the quarter compared with 0.58% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index and −1.52% for the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2016, the fund returned −0.38% versus −4.75% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index and −7.18% for the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index. The fund's average annual total returns were −0.38%, 11.22%, and 9.41% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. The fund's expense ratio was 0.77% as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Benchmark Definitions
The portfolio's large allocation to the industrials and business services sector contributed to results in the period. Our bottom-up selection process has traditionally led us to a focus on the sector, and we also believe that the economy is still in the early innings of a manufacturing rebound after decades of outsourcing production to lower-wage nations. Although the recent rise in the U.S. dollar has weighed on domestic manufacturing somewhat, growing wage pressures in Asia and increasingly stressed and extended supply lines continue to make production in the U.S. attractive to domestic as well as foreign companies. Conversely, our large allocation to health care weighed on returns. More recently, we have been reducing our investments in therapeutics companies in favor of service provider and equipment names.
While the market's steep pullback in late 2015 and early 2016 skimmed some of the froth off the most richly valued and fastest-growing stocks, it did little to increase the broader market's valuation appeal, particularly of the stocks that we typically favor. As a result, we have remained unable to locate many compelling investment ideas in recent months, and we did not put a great deal of cash to work during the downturn. At the same time, our outlook is not bearish, and we do not anticipate a recession in the coming months or another systemic crisis that would push stock prices substantially lower. Rather, our sense is that the stock market is in the midst of a slower-moving transition away from a focus on "growth at any price"and the easy money era that underwrote it. As the market transitions, industries and companies in which revenues have been favored over profits are likely to hit air pockets. We see our main mission in the coming months as guiding the portfolio around this turbulence while keeping an eye out for opportunities to invest in truly profitable firms at reasonable prices.

'The Office' hires James Spader as new boss (sort of)
"The Office" has found its new boss - sort of - and will be adding James Spader to the cast when the series begins is eighth season in the fall. An explanation of how this will work (which some may consider spoiler-y) and my thoughts on it coming up after the jump...
So, Spader was by far the most impressive of the guest stars who interviewed for the branch manager job in the season finale, playing Robert California, whom "Office" showrunner/co-star Paul Lieberstein described in the press release as "this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior." But while Spader was the funniest of the guest stars, his character was so intense and strange that it felt like making him the branch manager would change the series' energy too much.
And apparently, Lieberstein, Greg Daniels and everyone else recognized this as well, because Robert won't be the branch manager for very long. As Lieberstein explains it, "He'll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted. Within days, he took over the company. James has an energy that is completely his own, and 'The Office' has no tools for dealing with this guy. We're thrilled he's joining our cast."
This allows the show to deal with several problems at once. It brings in a recognizable, Emmy-winning star to front the series after the exit of Steve Carell, it allows the company to not have an absentee CEO anymore now that "Harry's Law" has been renewed, but it also doesn't try to shoehorn the new star into the exact role that Carell vacated. In fact, some of the stories that were published when rumors of Spader's hiring first broke suggested that the new set-up will allow the show to promote a character from within.
And now knowing who the big hire is, and what role he'll be playing, I think the new manager should be Jim Halpert.
For most of the last year, I didn't think that would work. The brief period where Jim and Michael were co-managers of the branch was not a particularly good one for that character, and it felt like making straight man Jim into boss of all the crazies would only accentuate the at times uptight and smug qualities he's displayed in the series' later years.
But Krasinski was terrific working with Spader in the finale, and the idea of Jim having to constantly deal with this CEO who is both incredibly crazy and incredibly persuasive - of Jim having to be the buffer between Robert and the staff in the way he at times was between Michael and the staff - sounds like a lot of fun, and a very good role for a character the writers have struggled to use for several years.
Andy still feels like watered-down Michael when they put him into that kind of position, Dwight would be too implausible long-term (even with crazy Robert in charge of the company), and while I still think Darryl would be a fine boss, the finale went so far out of its way to show him as unqualified that I'm not going to hold my breath for it.
Dunder-Mifflin's corporate overlords had a fairly regular presence on the show in the years when Jan Levinson was Michael's superior, and even with CFO David Wallace. So I think there are ways to incorporate Robert on a weekly basis - maybe even to explain why he'd be hanging around the Scranton branch all the time - without it seeming too contrived. Especially if Spader continues to be as funny as he was in the finale. See below:
What does everybody else think? Are you happy with Spader? Would you rather have seen one of the finale's other guest stars? And, if the show does promote from within for the branch manager gig, who should get it?

INDIANAPOLIS Thirty-three drivers will take the green flag Sunday for the 89th Indianapolis 500, but the eyes of a nation will be focused on one. Danica Patrick has the best opportunity yet for a female driver to win at Indy, and she's taking an adoring public and media along for the 220-mph ride.
Women didn't always have it so good at The Brickyard. Janet Guthrie remembers a time when the cheers were jeers, when female drivers were treated as dangerous novelties, not celebrities.
Guthrie, now 67, has documented her experience of breaking Indy's unspoken gender barrier to become the first female qualifier at Indianapolis in a new autobiography, "A Life At Full Throttle," and she has taken a keen interest in Patrick's progress through the open-wheel racing ranks.
Given that nearly three decades have passed since Guthrie's historic qualifying run on May 22, 1977, one would expect female drivers to be a novelty no longer. But Patrick is only the third woman to qualify for the Indianapolis field in the 27 years since Guthrie did, joining Lyn St. James and Sarah Fisher.
More significant, Danica is the first woman to earn an IndyCar drive with a topflight team like Rahal Letterman Racing.
Patrick's star already was rising before this May, but a series of sizzling practice laps and a spectacular run for the pole shot her into nationwide headlines. The outpouring of positive attention Patrick has received both from the public and from the media has been truly amazing.
It's also a far cry from the rough reception Guthrie was in for when she arrived at Indianapolis. What was Janet hearing?
"'Women can't do it.' 'Women don't have the strength.' 'Women don't have the endurance or the emotional stability and we're going to endanger our lives,' that was the drift," Guthrie recalled. "Most of the oval track drivers had never had the experience of running with a woman driver, and they were sure they weren't going to like it. That got calmed down within the course of the races that I ran in 1976. But in NASCAR, it took until May of '77 before I could walk through the garage area without guys looking at me squinty-eyed.
"The public, I think, needed to be convinced, too," she added. "So qualifying for the first time was really a major moment of my life."
It wasn't easy. There were more than 50 drivers vying for the 33 grid positions in those days, and Guthrie's 1976 ride wasn't up to the task of getting into the field. Undaunted, Guthrie and car owner Rolla Vollstedt returned to Indy in 1977, and Janet was the fastest second weekend qualifier.
Guthrie's presence in the field created a dilemma for then Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman, who didn't want to amend his traditional call of, "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!"
"I could have cared less what they said at the start of the race as long as mine was one of the engines that started," Guthrie noted. "Tony Hulman, who that year gave the call for the last time before he died that winter, said he was going to go ahead and say 'Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!' After all, there was all that tradition, and he said the mechanics still start the engines.
"So Kay Bignotti [wife of legendary crew chief George Bignotti], when she heard that, came to me and said, 'We can't let Tony get away with that. I'll start your engine.' Kay did start my engine, and what Tony said was, 'In company with the first lady to qualify at Indianapolis, Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!' "
Racing drivers often say the only time they get any peace is when they are strapped into a car. That was certainly the case for Guthrie at the start of the 1977 race, and the frenzy accompanying her Indy debut was a mere fraction of what Patrick is experiencing.
"By that time, I had come to feel the 'first woman' thing as a responsibility," Guthrie said. "I think I took the heat. But it wasn't where I was coming from. I identified myself as a sports car driver making the transition to the ovals. I knew that the woman part didn't make a bit of difference, but that wasn't the general position."
After running a heavy stock car schedule in 1977, Guthrie returned to Indianapolis in 1978 as the owner of her own car. Racing with a broken wrist suffered in a stock car crash, she qualified with relative ease and finished ninth, still the best result at Indy for a female. But it also was Janet's second-to-last Indianapolis start and the last one she finished and her own driving career ended shortly thereafter.
More than a decade passed before St. James followed in Guthrie's wheel tracks at Indy, but macho attitudes still prevailed. Things changed somewhat by the time Sarah Fisher arrived on the Indy Racing League scene in the late '90s. With a little help from the IRL marketing machine, Fisher emerged as the league's "Most Popular Driver," and she enjoyed a modicum of success (a pole and a podium). But she was unable to remain competitive in the IndyCar Series, and this year, she slunk off to NASCAR's minor leagues.
Patrick was anointed as IndyCar's new poster girl before she even turned a lap in anger. She has the perfect combination of talent, beauty and outspokenness to thrive under the spotlight. The frenzy heated up when she qualified on the front row and finished fourth earlier this year in Japan, and since she arrived at Indianapolis, it has been all Danica, all the time.
For her part, Patrick is enjoying the attention but also has called it a double-edged sword. If she fails to succeed, she could face a backlash a male competitor wouldn't see.
Guthrie tends to look at the full spectrum, having been here before.
"I was a great supporter of Sarah's and still am," Guthrie said. "She had a pretty good background, and she had the ability. I don't believe the experience level is an issue for either one of them. I just don't think one should lose sight of Sarah Fisher's accomplishments in the furor over Danica.
"Danica is very talented and very determined, but as I always used to say back in the '70s, it's 75 percent car and 25 percent driver. For a driver to win races, you have to have it all. What Danica has that no other woman has had so far is top-notch equipment and a front-running team that is solidly behind her."
That combination has prompted Guthrie to go on record stating that she believes Danica will win the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500.
"I think she has a very good chance of winning the race," Janet said. "Everything she needs is there the experience with the team, the backing of the team, the equipment, and of course her own talent and determination. So I believe she has as good a chance as anyone at winning the race and I think it's realistic for this year. You never know at Indianapolis. It's always a toss-up. The slightest little thing can go wrong and put you out of the running, but I think her chances are as good as anyone's."
Asked whether she thinks America is ready to accept a female winner of its most famous race, Guthrie responded, "Well, they may not have any choice!"
But she still clearly recalls the backlash that came with her initial success and hopes that today's up-and-coming female drivers can use it as a motivational tool.
"I remember all the letters to National Speed Sport News, all the fan mail back then, saying the fact that I could qualify and compete well at Indianapolis proved that Indy car racing was just for pantywaists and real racing fans should go back to sprint car racing where the real men were," Guthrie recalled with a chuckle. "Now, of course, we have Erin Crocker winning a race in the World Of Outlaws, the hairiest form of sprint car racing, so I guess they can't very well say that anymore, can they?
"It all depends on who gets the chance," she said. "There's lots of talent down there at the lower levels of the sport, where millions and millions of dollars are not the determining factor. Women seem to have a harder time finding sponsorship than men do. The fields remain full at every race, and what they are full of is male drivers sponsored by products purchased primarily by women. That doesn't make any sense to me.
"But I'm absolutely sure that we will see a woman win the Indianapolis 500, if not this year, then in the future. If it's not Danica, then it will be someone else, and similarly with the Daytona 500."

I have the following program in C:
The main problem with the program is that after I perform the copy operation, a number of rubbish characters are displayed after the letters copied. I know this is because the destination variable is NOT properly null-terminated. However, if you inspect the code carefully, I am performing null-termination. Why is the problem still there?

Is there a plug in where you can specify a background image for different page sections?
Is there a plug in where you can specify a background image for different page sections?
I'm looking for the same thing stargatesg1. Plugin, css or another method would be excellent.
I'd like to put a different background image on each page of this site:
Thanks for any/all ideas suggested.
Additional thoughts anyone? Thanks.
use a function to extract the image that is attached to a post or page and display it in the background.
Step1: check the extraction process here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/140609?replies=39
Step2: in your header, use the function to define the body background.
Thanks mores.
I"ll look into this/give it a try tonight.
Just thinking you could try using custom tags in the admin, put the image url in there and then just do something like -
Create custom tag called BGIMAGE with the image url as the value. Then use this in the head of the header file....
<?php $key = "BGIMAGE";
$BGIMAGE = get_post_meta($postID, $key, true);
if(!empty($BGIMAGE)) { ?>
body {
background-url:('<?=$BGIMAGE; ?>');
<?php } ?>
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the idea Marc.
Could you elaborate on this point "try using custom tags in the admin" - I don't follow. Do you mean for each page?
I would put your sample code into the HTML for each page... y/n? If so I believe I understand up to the original point noted above.
Sadly I didn't get to try either suggestions - late night. Hopefully I'll have a chance in the AM.
gary ... when you write a post or a page, underneath the text-input area you have advanced options like excerpts, trackback and custom fields.
Click on custom fields, write "BGIMAGE" into the "key" part, and the link to your file in the "value" box.
marc's code then needs to be implemented in the header.php file of your template,
somwehere right before the < body > tag.
Thanks mores.
It dawned on me while I was getting ready for bed -- I've never considered that section. Sweet! Thanks for specifying.
I just tried Marc's idea/code and can report that it did not work. I chose an image of mine and another image elsewhere into two pages.
http://garyploski.com/actor/about/ (using: http://www.sixapart.com/i/wrench_hat.jpg)
http://garyploski.com/actor (using: http://garyploski.com/actor/wp-content/gallery/theatre/153_5354.jpg)
I paste the code in the following three places:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
I'm using the HemingwayEX 1.1 theme. As a test I tried with the Default template as well - still didn't work.
It's a great idea Marc and would make this idea fly. With this in mind, is there something I might be missing?
hmmm, you know what, I think it's due to the fact that marc's code needs to know, what post-id we're currently looking at, and that information is only available inside the loop - not embeddable in the header.
I don't know how do do this any better, but here's a little plugin for you:
Plugin Name: MetaBackGround
Plugin URI: http://www.mores.cc/metabackground
Description: Backgroundimages for posts and pages. Add a custom field called BGIMAGE with the absolute link to your desired background image.
Version: 0.0.1
Author: Mores Daniel
Author URI: http://www.mores.cc/
add_action('wp_head', 'mores_metabackground');
function mores_metabackground() {
global $post;
$key = "BGIMAGE";
$BGIMAGE = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
if(!empty($BGIMAGE)) {
echo "\n<style>\nbody{background: url('".$BGIMAGE."');}\n</style>\n";
} ?>
Copy the code, paste it into a text file, name it "metabackground.php" or whatever, upload to your plugin directory, activate, and wallah. It'll put the code where it needs to go.
If you know what kind of backgrounds you use, you might want to edit the actual style definition so that your background image is properly aligned, repeated etc.
You can also download it from here: http://www.mores.cc/metabackground
Wow. Great thinking. Here are some test results.
Default - no image displays in home or about
Classic - image displays in home and about
HemingwayEX - images displays in what appears to be the footer only
NinjaMonkeys 0.20 - images displays in what appears to be the footer only
I've left HemingwayEX active so the result can be seen. Thank you so much for putting your time into this mores.
In Hemingway it's due to the number of layers with background-color definitions that cover the image. Must be the same for the others, so you'll need to get rid of all the unnecessary background colors in the appropriate stylesheet.
BUT, you might want to put the image only in a certain part of the page. Try editing the plugin so that the image is not background of the entire body, but of the layer you want it to display in.
In hemingway this might be "primary", so change
echo "\n<style>\nbody{background: url('".$BGIMAGE."');}\n</style>\n";
echo "\n<style>\n#primary{background: url('".$BGIMAGE."');}\n</style>\n";
(By the way, the \n is a control character that returns a line-break, so that the source-code is more easily debuggable.)
I'd have to do a lot of fiddling to get it just right for your template. Try disabling any background colors first, then see what it looks like.
It's working! Thank you so much.
The change to this code made all the difference:
echo "\n<style>\n#primary{background: url('".$BGIMAGE."');}\n</style>\n";
I've added background pix to about 4 pages. Fantastic!
Hallo Mores!
First of all, thanks for your plugin, it was exactly what I was looking for.
But as always, we need to customize, I´m absolute new to php, css and so on, but I was able to modifie everything I wanted ´till now.
My question is: can I set the position of the background (top center) and no-repeat?
the site is here: http://www.grandtour.at
the page in question is the splash page.
Ich danke schon im voraus!
i am a little tech-dumb. i would like to do the same thing on my blog: have all the pages have the same background as the homepage. how do i do this?

I have had a contractor work on the Paypal integration aspect of our site, and they have it mostly finished, but had to leave for another job so left 2 things unfinished:
1. The Paypal transaction (in sandbox) works well, sending the reference number of the transaction to our PHPMyAdmin database table, but we need to create and populate a table 'CMSPaypalTransactions' with all the paypal details to be able to show the transaction details locally.
2. Refunds: the Paypal transaction has been created so that each item (if they buy more than one) has it's own ID, so now need to build in the function to refund an individual order. Upon transaction completion, it should enter a new row in the new table from #1 above.

6 Stretches That'll Change Your Life (Or at Least the Way You Sleep)
Forget about white noise and wine to put your mind at ease before bed. These stretches are fit to give you the best night's sleep ever
To complete this stretch, lie down on your back with your hips flush to a wall. Raise your legs straight up against the wall so that your torso is at a 90 degree angle with your legs. Walk your legs out and away from each other with your heels still on the wall so that your legs are as far apart as possible. Hold this stretch for 60 seconds, and then slowly release your legs back to center.
"By raising your legs above your heart for a minute, you can reduce any leg swelling you may be battling before bed," says Garcia.

Archon: The Books of Raziel (Hardcover)
Angels and demons do battle for a girl possessed by the spirit of a powerful, dead angel in this fabulous paranormal debut by Sabrina Benulis. Archon is the first of the Books of Raziel, a truly fantastic and very hip new take on heaven's warriors that readers of the angelic novels of Danielle Trussoni, Lauren Kate, Becca Fitzpatrick, and Alexandra Adornetto are sure to adore. Archon is new wave urban fantasy, a tale of the supernatural that brilliantly blends passion, obsession, horror, and suspense in a way that will appeal to dark fantasy fans and paranormal romance readers equally. Sabrina Benulis's angels are creepy, sexy, and totally awesome and, like Anne Rice's amoral, ambiguous, and addicting vampires, they will seduce and terrify you at the same time.
About the Author
Sabri na Benulis graduated with a master's in writing popular fiction from Seton Hill University. She currently resides in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania with her husband, Mike, and her spoiled cockatiel, Caesar. Archon is her first novel.
Praise For…
"These angels can be vindictive and cruel, more human than you might expect and oozing supernatural abilities…. If you think you have the guts to take on this novel pick it up."
-Boulder Examiner
"A dark, bold story."
-Lexington Literature Examiner
"With the first installment in her trilogy, Benulis uses lush descriptions and larger than life characters to tell the story of a battle between Heaven and Hell… I will definitely be on the lookout for the next installment in her book of Raziel series."
-Suspense Magazine
"Angela is someone I would want to be friends with, someone I would want to have in my corner. She's out of her mind, a little, but honestly – who isn't?"
-Fictional Distraction
"Forget what you think you know and allow the book to show you a new vision of angels and demons. It's a terrifying one, but extremely interesting."
-Sci-Fi Fan Letter
"Even when I wasn't reading, I felt a little like I had one foot in the book and the other in reality."
-Literary Feline
"This plot is original in every way, and it resembles nothing that I have ever read before."
-The Wilkes Beacon
"In this fascinating, well written first novel, Sabrina Benulis has created a world where it's hard to tell the demons and angels apart. Be prepared to read this one in one sitting because it's one of those rare novels that grabs you and doesn't let go."
-The Baryon Review

VIENNA, Austria -- The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided Wednesday to slash production by 1.5 million barrels a day in a bid to sustain high oil prices despite warnings from the United States and Europe that such a move could shove the global economy into recession.
The cartel's oil ministers, who voted unanimously here to impose the first output cuts in two years, said their action was justified to head off a potential glut on world oil markets this spring and prevent a precipitous fall in prices that would prove catastrophic for their economies.
Consumer countries, led by the United States, Europe and Japan, pleaded in vain for OPEC to maintain current production levels because of the fragile state of the global economy. After hitting ten-year highs of $37 a barrel last month, world oil prices have dropped to just below $25 a barrel.
During a tour of Gulf oil sheikhdoms over the weekend, U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson argued that substantial oil cuts could send prices soaring again above $30 a barrel and inflict a damaging blow to the world economy. He said a deep global recession would ultimately harm OPEC by reducing oil demand so much that prices would inevitably plunge. Richardson called OPEC's cut Wednesday ''disappointing'' and said it would heighten market volatility.
But OPEC oil ministers said after raising production on four successive occasions last year, they feared losing control of the market. They claimed if they did nothing before winter ends in the northern hemisphere, market projections showed oil prices would plummet below ten dollars a barrel, which could provoke economic and political turmoil in several producer countries.
''We looked at the data regarding supply and demand and we decided we had to make a reduction,'' said Ali al-Nuaimi, oil minister of Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter and the cartel's decisive voice. ''If we had carried on with output at present levels, we would have flooded the market.''
Nuaimi and other ministers promised remedial action if the world economy lurched into a recession before OPEC's next scheduled meeting in March. ''We will interfere when we see the market is facing some difficulties,'' said Qatar's oil minister Abdullah bin Hamad al Attiyah, who wanted to cut two million barrels a day. ''We will not let a shock happen for consumers or producers. We will be there at the right moment.''
Since OPEC's action was anticipated, traders said it was already priced into markets. Nonetheless, analysts said OPEC's action, due to take effect February 1, will squeeze global supplies and inhibit the rebuilding of stocks that would have provided an extra cushion against future price shocks. ''The most likely result is that OPEC's decision will keep inventories low and prices up,'' said Roger Diwan of the Petroleum Finance Corp. in Washington, D.C.
For the United States, OPEC's supply cuts and upward pressure on prices could magnify a growing energy crisis, as California struggles with power shortages and natural gas prices hit all-time highs.
''Any rise in oil prices will cut household purchasing power and lift costs for companies. Those two factors alone will diminish growth prospects,'' said Sveinbjorn Blondal of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, whose members include the world's 25 leading industrial nations.

NATIONAL has applied its unique Belief Based Consumption research methodology to reddit.com, the "front-page of the Internet", to study the conversations of a large and engaged group of Canadians to better understand what drives purchase and advocacy decisions. The results of this study, presented in our annual Bold Thinking Report, will help organizations to better understand emerging beliefs that inform the decisions of Canadians on a daily basis. These decisions include which products to buy, issues to support (or oppose), or advocacy actions to take.
With over 7.4 million Canadians visiting the site each month and averaging 18 minutes per visit, reddit has emerged as one of the most influential communities online and is seen as a way to understand and engage with early adopters, geeks and culture creators on topics ranging from entertainment and culture to politics and business.
For our 2015 report, we searched and analyzed over 20,000 conversations among Canadian redditors around topics pertaining to government, business and society at large. Focusing on these three areas allowed us to identify emerging trends in consumer culture across a broad swath of topics. While these topics were diverse, a single unifying thread emerged: fairness.
2015: The Year of Fairness provides key insights into how the fairness lens - described through the notions of impartiality and of personal and social responsibility - is applied to the words and actions of businesses, government and people. In the coming months, a series of sectoral reports will be presented, outlining what the insights mean for a range of industries, starting with Personal Finance.
Our experts can also use our unique Fairness Formula to help you better understand how to align your organization's actions and communications with your audiences' beliefs, the key to remaining engaged and relevant in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

5 Travel Costs to Avoid on a Road Trip
Family field trips are a simple, fun and fairly inexpensive educational enrichment activity you can enjoy regularly with your children.
Many manufacturing plants offer free tours to families or small groups, and any free samples given out make great souvenirs when on vacation. Call ahead to find out about tour availability.
Field trips to local attractions such as zoos or aquariums can be expensive, but purchasing an annual family pass pays for itself in just a couple trips. Knowing you can come back again and again, frees your family to thoroughly enjoy themselves without feeling the need to hurry and see everything in one day to get your money's worth out of the admission price. Return to the same site whenever you want a family outing, and then buy a pass to a different educational attraction next year.
If your family enjoys attending live performances, check for free concerts, plays and other cultural events in local parks during the summer months.
You can also contact college or community performance groups (drama, ballet, orchestra, etc.) to see if they'll allow you to watch them rehearse for free.
Many local theater groups need volunteer ushers for their live performances. Volunteering in this manner is an excellent way for the older members of your family to gain free admission to a wide variety of cultural events, plus it provides a useful service to the local arts community.

Chris Christie, Bouncing Back, Refuses to Play 'Dodgeball' With Reporters
The governor is back to his combative press conferences.
Suddenly energized by his self-proclaimed innocence, Chris Christie was back to his old tricks at a press conference today. "Why don't you just get to the question and cut the commentary back a little?" the governor said at one point, firing up the long-dormant insult machine. The questions, which he'd avoided since early January, were once again "ridiculous."
"What you get with me is what you get," said Christie to reporters who hadn't seen much of him since Bridgegate. "I cannot shed who I am."
Before the flexing, Christie announced that Port Authority chairman David Samson had resigned, effective immediately. "He is 74 years old and he is tired," said Christie, who was careful to note that Samson's "role was not central in any of these things, nor has it ever been alleged that his role was central."
"Over the past months, I have shared with the Governor my desire to conclude my service to the PANYNJ," said Samson in a statement. "The timing is now right, and I am confident that the Governor will put new leadership in place to address the many challenges ahead." You can't really the blame the guy for sounding so over it.

At one of the tactical class's i attended the instructor a 30 year Leo vet told a story i thought i would share.
He was dispatched to a call where the caller could hear a lady screaming "RAPE" ""Some one please help me " "Help" in a wooded area well when he arrived at the location he heard a scream but wasnt sure if it was a woman or a cat screaming so he went in the direction of the sound, the closer he got he could hear it was a woman and she was screaming rape and yelling for help. In his words she was screaming bloody murder... He finally found the woman naked laying on her back fighting kicking biting scratching and screaming at a naked male on top of her obviously having sex with the lady the officer raised his gun and told the man to get the bleep of of her.
Now even tho he is a leo he is still human and he said the guy jumped up and started toward him in a very fast manner so he said he was al most ready to pull the trigger when he started to hear both the male and female saying you don't understand officer........
Turns out this was a married couple and this was the wife's fantasy of being raped in the woods
The officer says there I am about ready to kill this man, a innocent man.
Sick fantasy if you ask me.
Now I know having a ccw does not mean I need to defend the world and in no way do I think I am a police officer but I dont think I could turn my back on a lady being assaulted like that but that story sure does make you want to to really think things out real good before you get mixed up in something that may not be as it appears..

Fantasy is one thing, acting dumb and dumber is...well, dumb.
"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)
"Alter Ego" rules (you can act on a third person's supposed imminent danger as if that person is you) in many states' gun laws look great on paper and sound good when you talk about them on forums but, in reality, cases like this, as presented by Old Vet, are the problem, as he points out in the thread. Ya never know what the heck is REALLY going on unless you were there from the getgo and even then you can never be sure. This was a very odd type of case but situations involving crazy play acting, undercover police, the good guy getting an advantage on the bad guy etal can put your actions on the wrong side of a seemingly understandable interaction as a third party CCW person. If you did not have the firearm and the lethality that it presented, your interaction might only be some form of physical confrontation trying to assist someone, but the firearm makes your decision something that you might regret.

I would say the instructor was not ready to kill an "innocent man". He might not be guilty of any crime but I would not call innocent. This was a sick and stupid thing for these people to do. Pick a new fantasy people. That one almost got someone killed.
Justifiable shoot in my opinion and LEO would more than likely would have been OK unless the wife decided to lie about what really happened.
Ayoob cited a case in a city where a truck driver was making a delivery at about first light. He came upon a woman who was furiously beating off an assault from a guy, and she was screaming "Rape!" and "Help!" The legally armed truck driver jumped out of his truck and started to intervene - don't recall if he drew his weapon - and that's when the male "assailant" identified himself as a vice cop. He was making a prostitution arrest when the hooker went berserk and started fighting him off. A good example of why a damped response is prudent when the potential to use deadly force arises.

I had two of the "rape fantasy" calls during my career, as well as one where a good citizen drew down on me as I was attempting to make an arrest while in plainclothes. I'll intervene to the point where I'll yell at someone and such, but I'm not shooting except to save me or mine from ill. Just too many time you don't really know what the situation is and too many times when the situation looks like one thing but is really another.

At Turner Hall, a comfy renovation
Think of the defining landmarks of Old World Milwaukee; 131-year-old Turner Hall and its restaurant are right there with the rest of them.
That restaurant was closed from September 2010 until its new operator, the BMO Harris Bradley Center, fully renovated the space and reopened it in November. The project polished the dining room from floor to ceiling, making it a comfortable place for taking in the century-old murals and stained-glass windows (and the TVs tuned to sports over in the bar). »Read Full Article(1)

penalty kick bought and paid for......
you're entitled to your opinion , as is everyone , but a brutal
mistaken call for a penalty when clearly only a free kick was
warranted is always going to result in controversy. you lot
were gifted an undeserved goal......and it effectively changed
the match. deny it all you like but you know its the truth.
where do you suppose that the accusations of blatant favoratism
come from regarding referee's track record at Old Trafford? been
too many of these calls year after year after year.
video replay would solve this straightaway. refs need this

"where do you suppose that the accusations of blatant favoratism come from regarding referee's track record at Old Trafford?" - now that's a difficult one. Let me think ... could it be from ABU twats like you?
- 1 Reply to Eric Cantona
Saw this on Opta the other day:
There was a penalty at both ends in Arsenal's game vs West Ham this weekend, highlighting a curious trend for penalties in their games. Whilst the Gunners have been awarded notably more pens in the last 5 seasons than their big four rivals (34 - Liverpool + Man Utd 27, Chelsea 24), they have also conceded more (20 - Ch...elsea + Liverpool 14, Man Utd, 13), as refs in their matches are often quick to point to the spot.
Looks like we've not been paying as much to refs as we should've then, doesn't it!
I think it was a wrong decision at the weekend, should have been a free kick, but you can only tell by looking at the slow motion replays, when the ref has to make a decision without anything but his first impression.
We got that decision going our way which added another 2 points to our total, meaning we are now 1 point ahead of Chelsea. On the other hand, had the ref at Stamford Bridge in November made the right decisions, we'd have come away with a win. That would have meant we'd have 3 more points and they'd have 3 less.
If the refs had got both decisions right, we'd have got 4 points from those two matches rather than 3. The top of the table would look like this:
United: 70
Arsenal: 76
Chelsea: 75
Spurs: 55
City: 53
Liverpool: 52
Bring in video technology and we'd still be where we are now but with less ABU muppets posting bile on these boards.

Gavin Grabs Third on Final Lap as Traffic and Red Flag Complicate Qualifying at Lime Rock Park
Update: The #44 Porsche that qualified 2nd failed the ride height check at tech inspection. Corvette Racing improves its positions to 2nd and 5th.
LAKEVILLE, Conn., July 6, 2012 – Corvette Racing's twin Compuware Corvette C6.R race cars qualified third and sixth in the GT class for Saturday's American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park. Traffic played a key role in qualifying on the tight 1.5-mile circuit, and after a red flag interrupted the 15-minute session, it came down to a two-lap shootout to determine the GT grid.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the launch of the Scottish government's blueprint for independence.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the launch of the Scottish government's blueprint for independence.
The 670-page white paper, entitled "Scotland's future: Your guide to an independent Scotland", comes ahead of the independence referendum, on 18 September, next year.
The document is being launched in Glasgow this morning, followed by a government statement in the Scottish Parliament this afternoon.
Scotland's deputy first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, says the white paper has a "heavy focus" on addressing questions that people want answered. The SNP's critics say the document must do that on all fronts for it to be credible.
And talking of questions on independence, we attempted to answer 10 of yours, ahead of the white paper launch.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says an independent Scotland would be a "confident country" with "close links" to the rest of the UK.
Whilst the issue of independence is a matter for the Scots, the terms are a matter for both sides of the border.
Maintaining a currency union would be in the "best interests" of Scotland and the rest of the UK, Nicola Sturgeon says.
Nicola Sturgeon says those in favour of a "no" vote are trying to "frighten people" about the possible outcomes of independence.
I will be voting yes. Scotland needs to be in control of its own destiny and make decisions for the benefit of its people. Just now the decisions are being made to benefit the financial sector in London and the rest of us are left to suffer. I want a fairer Scotland.

I created a new Maven project in Eclipse. This was working fine until I needed to add a dependency to another Eclipse project, a legacy utility project, which does not have a pom.xml, and does not have the directory structure of a typical Maven project. (It has the directory structure of a typical eclipse Java project). This other project is in the same Eclipse workspace as the Maven project.
In looking at other posts on this, it seems that usually the solution is to build the jar for the other project and install it in Maven. However I am actively modifying code in the utility project while writing code in the Maven project, so I can't just install a jar once to satisfy the dependency.
What is the easiest way to handle this so that I can code simultaneously in both projects, and also get maven to build cleanly? (Of course Eclipse can build just fine with just a project dependency.)
Using the Build Helper plugin to add the utility projects source folder to my pom was a viable path to the solution, but then I needed to update all the dependencies of the utility project into my new Mavne project, which started to make the whole process too time consuming (and also not really the chain of dependencies I wanted). I think that if I would have added all the dependencies, then Build Helper suggestion would have worked.
For now, I built the utility project jar and installed it into maven. Which turned out to be the the quickest solution. I will try to Mavenize the utility project, without modifying its structure (as suggested by FrVaBe below), and see if I can link the poms afterward.
I am going to keep this question open until I have a full solution which can be reported back, since I assume this is a problem others will have (trying to integrate legacy projects with new maven projects).

Working Triathlons Into a Busy Schedule
When Kim Nelson finished college in 1992, she assumed her swimming career was over. The distance freestyler, who competed for Canada at the 1984 British Nationals, still wanted to stay active, though. "I started looking for what I could do to stay in shape and get rid of stress," she says.
Back then, triathlons were just becoming popular in Ontario, where Ms. Nelson lived, she says. She decided to try a shorter "sprint" race of a 1,000-meter swim, 35-kilometer bike ride and eight-kilometer run. "I was third last in the whole race," she laughs. "An 88-year-old man passed me, and that's what got me hooked. I had so much to improve upon!" That race took her 2.5 hours to complete. The following year Ms. Nelson finished it in an hour and 20 minutes.
After a few years of competing in shorter races, Ms. Nelson, 39, raced well enough in 1998 to qualify for Ironman Canada—a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a full marathon of 26.2 miles. "I hadn't been training for that distance, and my coach said I couldn't finish it," she says. "That's when the audacity kicked in. I said, 'Watch me.' "
She not only finished—in 13 hours—but has gone on to participate in at least one Ironman every year since, for a lifetime total of 10 Ironmans, usually finishing the races in about 11 hours. She competed at the world championships in Kona, Hawaii, in 2003 not knowing she was two months pregnant with her second child. This year, she will participate in Ironman Brazil on May 30. Ms. Nelson stands 5-foot-6 and weighs 140 pounds.
When she's not training up to 20 hours a week, Ms. Nelson runs the company that her father started in 1980—Royal Containers Ltd., based in Toronto, which makes corrugated packaging. As chief executive of the business, she travels regularly. She has three children under the age of seven and lives in Caledon, outside Toronto.
The Workout
Ms. Nelson works out every morning and some evenings. She hires Barry Shepley, who coached the gold-medal-winning Canadian Olympic triathlon team in 2000, to plan and write out her routines.
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, she lifts weights for half an hour, then swims freestyle laps for an hour. Her strength training includes push-ups, core work, bench press and squats.
Tuesday and Thursday mornings she spends an hour and a half riding her race bike in stationary mode, mounting the cycle on an indoor stand. Tuesday and Thursday evenings she runs for two hours with fellow triathletes. Sometimes they will do a two-hour workout consisting of a bike ride followed by a run.
Saturday mornings she rides her bike outdoors for three to five hours, and Sunday mornings goes on a two- to three-hour run, in which she logs about 25 kilometers.
The Diet
Ms. Nelson starts each day with a Isagenix meal-replacement shake, which is a protein and vitamin drink. After her morning workout she has a snack of an apple or orange and about a fourth of a cup of almonds. She packs her lunch, which is typically a large green salad with either a can of tuna or a chicken breast and balsamic vinaigrette. Her afternoon snack is more fruit and almonds. She works out before dinner, and then has spelt or rice pasta, a green vegetable like broccoli or Brussels sprouts, and beef or chicken. Before bed she will snack on an apple with peanut butter.
Cost & Gear
Ms. Nelson says she just paid $10,000 for a Cervelo P3 bicycle with Zipp 404 wheels, a classic high-end triathlon machine. "I have 18 years experience, I deserve to be on that bike," she says. She owns a Gyro Atmos helmet ($150), Shimano cycling shoes ($250) and a stationary indoor trainer from Tacx ($750).
Ms. Nelson swims in a one-piece Speedo Endurance suit ($55) and Tyr Socket Rocket goggles ($8). Her racing outfit is a triathlon-specific wetsuit from Zoot, which costs $500.
For running, she trains in Grid Hurricane running shoes by Saucony ($85) and races in hot-pink Newton's Distance shoes ($155).
She pays Mr. Shepley $250 a month to plan her workouts so that her fitness peaks at race time. She pays $500 a year to be a member of her local triathlon club. Membership at her gym, which includes a pool, costs $3,200 a year.
Ms. Nelson works on her swimming stroke with a second coach once a year. They schedule several sessions over a six-week period for a cost of about $1,200.
Registration for Ironman races typically costs about $550. She does four or five half Ironmans each year in addition to her annual full Ironman. Half Ironmans cost about $250.
Fitness Tip
Ms. Nelson has a full-time, live-in nanny to help run the household. She says that her husband offers support by respecting her need to exercise, and managing the home while she is working out.
Quick Fix
Ms. Nelson travels monthly for work. If possible, she will run on a hotel treadmill. Or she will spend 45 minutes to an hour running up and down hotel stairs.
"I don't race with music, so I don't usually train with it," Ms. Nelson says. "But if I'm heading out on a five-hour ride, sure I'll take the iPod." She likes to listen to a mix of '90s rock, including Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and hip-hop from artists like Usher.
