Before ordering I read the reviews and one reviewer said that they were a bit small and recommended ordering up in size. I wear an 8.5 so I ordered a 9 to be safe and they're way too big. At first it was doable but now that I've worn them for awhile they've stretched and really flop around when I walk. So, if I had to, I'd recommend ordering small and letting them stretch to fit your foot. Other than that I'm very pleased with them. They're super warm, very comfortable and look great with pretty much anything. I ordered Camel and they're true to the color on your screen.
I bought these in Camel and the darker brown. They arrived promptly (I think within five days max) and are SO gorgeous and comfortable! The colours are gorgeous, the lining is thick, fluffy, and warm, and the sole is thick and sturdy. I can't believe how great these boots are, especially for the price! I am a full time college student who also works full time, so believe me when I say you're getting a good deal.I know that Uggs and Emus stretch out, so I got these a 1/2 size smaller than I wear, just to be safe. They fit well, but I'm not sure if they'll stretch out to be too large or not. I'll wear them for a week and leave another review. No matter what, I'm coming back for two more pairs, in grey and black.So I suggest buying a half size under, and enjoy!!!
Very nice. I usually wear a 7 1/2. These are a bit on the bigger side even with heavt socks on. I'm ordering a pair in 7. Hopefully they will fit a little snugger.
These boots are true to color and size and are very comfortable and are great to wear in snow. I am going to buy a pair for my mom, because she likes mine so much.
I am wearing these boots right now. I brushed them and put 2 coats of waterproofing on them when they first arrived. I've been wearing them out in the rain ever since and they are just wonderful. I have three pairs of these boots now and I wear them everywhere. They keep my feet warm and cozy and they block the wind when I am standing at the bus stop. They are warmer than my slippers because they cover more of my legs. I don't notice the cold floors in my cabin any more since I started wearing them.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? very well
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. These are great boots, very well made
- How accurate was the sizing? I wear and 8 1/2 normally, I ordered an 8 and they're just fine.
Warm and comfortable, although there is no arch support so walking long distances in them would result in painful feet. They slip on and off easily. Cover the ankles when shoveling snow or cleaning off the car of snow. They didn't wet out in the recent dry snow we have had, don't know how they would do in wet snow. Would especially be great if you have cold floors...would keep your feet warm. Overall, an excellent buy for the money.
Let me start by saying that these boots look great! I purchased the gray color in a size 7 and it goes well with everything. The only issue I have is with the sizing, it did not have the half sizes so I had to go a size up and they look huge on me. I did not find that they run small, I actually feel it's the opposite. Overall, though, these boots are beautiful and comfy!
I bought these in brown size 8 (they're true to size) due to the great reviews here. I was still skeptical on how good they would be due to the low price but was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. Visually-speaking, they are comparable to some of the EMU brands in my opinion. The pictures don't show it, but the lining is a nice, thick tufted fleece inside (similar to faux wool). Super warm, the tread is thick and has pretty good traction and the faux suede looks really good. These boots are mid-calf height. The soles are flat and don't have much cushion for arch support. A good warm winter boot but not for long-distance walking. Overall, and great value for the price. Honestly, it could cost a little more and still be worth it.
These have become one of my favorite pairs of boots to wear. They look great with my skinny jeans are very comfortable. They are very true to size. The only complain I have is that they are not great to wear in a large amount of snow. They have no grip at all and you will slip very easily. They are definitely more useful for fashion and not for protection in snow and ice. Overall, I really like these boots. I ordered the camel color and they were exactly what I was looking for.
I purchased these boots for my daughter, who normally wears a size 5 women's shoe. Since size 6 was the smallest available size, I purchased a 6, thinking she'd have some room in them. However, when she tried them on, we immediately discovered that the size 6 was too small for her foot. Then, as she pulled her foot back out of the new boot, the "wool" lining inside the boot pilled so badly that the exterior of the boot was showered in little balls of the stuff. Not attractive, not well constructed, and not sized properly. A big disappointment. I am returning them.
Good quality, color and thick rubber soles for cold snowy weather. Price better than seen in other stores,
i purchased these for my sister, she loves them! very comfortable and light on your feet.
I love overstock.com!!! The boots are wonderful! They fit great, look great, and are super comfy. I am short and petite so this boot fits me perfect!! I get lots of great feedback on them as well. The lug sole is perfect for snow and slick conditions!! Very happy!! I have purchased the gray and brown ones. Plan on buying more soon!!!
If you do not want to spend alot of money for the real deal, these boots are great. I have two pairs, my daughter has two pairs. They are nice looking, warm and fit the purpose. You do not have to worry about spending lots of money and have them ruined by winter weather. Definitely worth buying.
I bought these boots after reading all the great reviews. They are warm, and fit true to size. The sole is of amazing quality considering the great low price. I would highly recommend these!!!
Bottom inside needs more cush but otherwise they are great!
A good boot for going out to the car and running errands etc. Not a boot for staying out in the cold too long or trudging through snow though.
I wanted this type of boot and it did not disappoint. I read reviews and bought a size smaller which was perfect. Good looks and value. I don't know if it will hold up well yet, but is comfortable and looks great!
They're cute but not good for wearing in the snow. My feet would get just as wet and cold with sandals frankly. Also you really do need to wear skinny jeans with them and I just can't. So if you like wet feet and look good in skinny jeans - go for it!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was right on-- very similar
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality was meh. After five minutes in 2" of snow my feet were freezing cold and soaking wet. Not so good for keeping the toes dry on a winter day. Which is kind of the point of wearing boots.
- How accurate was the sizing? Sizing was accurate
After I got over the fumes from the glue they were great. They kept my feet warm and were very comfortable. About the third time I wore them it felt like I was walking on the ground barefooted. There is no support at all. Spend a little more money and get something better. I guess you get what you pay for.

One Our Father, One Hail Mary
Return to Rome
Confessions of an Evangelical Catholic
Francis J. Beckwith
Brazos Press, $14.99, 144 pp.
In 2007, Francis Beckwith was a full professor at Baylor University (then embarked on a plan to be "the Evangelical Harvard") and president of the Evangelical Theological Society—one of the intellectual centers of Evangelical Protestantism. So it was dramatic news indeed when Beckwith returned to the Catholic faith of his childhood. This book tells the story of how it all happened.
Born in 1960, Beckwith grew up in a liberal Catholic family in Las Vegas, attending Catholic schools and Mass every Sunday, in the midst of post–Vatican II liturgical reforms he remembers as "cute nuns and hip priests playing 'Kumbaya' with guitars, tambourines, and harmonicas...usually not done very well." As a teenager, he found a variety of mostly nondenominational Protestant groups more impressive in their "commitment to following Christ,...personal warmth, and high view of Scripture." After a brief bout of agnosticism, his path as described here led steadily upward through a series of academic degrees, connections with influential Evangelicals, and teaching appointments until he arrived at Baylor in 2003 and, within the next five years, was denied tenure, received tenure on appeal, and was promoted to full professor. Amid the twists and turns of his religious pilgrimage, his politics moved sharply to the right and stayed there. Hired at Baylor by a controversial conservative president who then left, Beckwith lost his first tenure fight...

I am a gunsmith & FFL. I have tested many types of ammo throught a 16" barreled AR-15. This Federal American Eagle Black Box ammo did very well. Gave me a 3/4" group at 50 yards.
Love this ammo! I can touch holes at 50yards with nothing but a decent red dot. Flawlessly feeds, and super accurate. Sporting clays at 100 yards are easy pickings. I won't ever buy brass again for target shooting. A+++.
Great ammo! Accurate, consistent and well priced.This is the only ammo I use for target.
Have shot several hundred rds through my S&W M&P Sport with no failure to fire or feed. Ammo seems to be accurate out to 200 yds so far. Sighted in at 50 yds and able to make head shots out to 200 yds. Can get targets out to 350 yds, but have yet to fire at that distance. Really pleased with the ammo, especially the price. Would recommend to anyone who plans on shooting a lot.
This is my absolute favorite round for my Bushmaster. With a 1 in 9 twist it should love the heavier rounds but I can't argue with 5/8 minutes of angle. At 200 yards, golf balls are no problem for this round. But it's more than tiny shot groups; the 40 grain V-Max is deadly on anything coyote size and smaller. I've seen Coyotes drop like sacks of 'taters at ranges from 60 to 360 yards. In fact, this round has never failed me. A "GOOD" rating is an understatement.

Our website is terribly slow and the admin side much worse. Can anybody help?
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
- re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files - from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

On my Mac OS 10.5.8 I've deleted iTunes (by dragging it from Applications to trash and then emptying the bin. However, approximately once a week Mac OS suggests installing an update for it. Why and how to stop it?
When in the software update application select the iTunes update that is being offered to you and press delete (keyboard) or go to the update menu in the toolbar and select 'Ignore this update'.
Try deleting the application (and its hidden Package Contents) with an uninstaller for Mac. I suggest AppCleaner
It sounds like you did not completely remove iTunes when you deleted it.

Usb-Parallel port (for an old, but reliable matrix printer that has its special use) connections (cables) are unreliable. They sometimes work, sometimes don't - and since I installed Windows 7 I can't get neither of my old ones to work properly.
PCMCIA is usually considered (and it is) a much more reliable solution, but unfortunatelly, none of my new laptops has a PCMCIA slot.
So, all ideas are welcomed. What should I do? I'm open to all suggestions as long as you have some experience that they work more reliably than USB-Parallel cables and their wicked drivers.

Bailey returns to Nicholls State as proven coach
Published: Friday, January 21, 2011 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 21, 2011 at 8:57 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Rennie Bailey arrived at Nicholls State in 1988 as a 26-year-old eager to prove himself to then-Colonels coach Gordon Stauffer.
For the Minden native and former Louisiana Tech standout, it was his first full-time coaching job at the Division I level.
Now, 22 years and countless lessons later, Bailey has returned to Stopher Gym, again an assistant with the Colonels.
"I was so young my first time here, but I learned so much," Bailey said. "Under Gordon, you learned a little bit of everything — preparing scouting reports, helping him with game decisions. He put a lot on me and thrust me right into it. He allowed me to have input, which probably explains why we didn't win much. I had no clue what I was doing back then."
Times have changed. Bailey has become one of the most respected basketball coaches in the state, and much of it has to do with the approach he brings to teaching the game and with the way he treats others.
"This job is about teaching skills, but more than that, it's about everyday life," he said. "You have to love young people to do what you do — that comes first. Then, secondly, love the game."
Over time, Bailey has incorporated a variety of other coaches' strategies and schemes into his own, but, for Bailey, it all comes back to defense.
"That was ingrained early," he said. "My high school coach, Buster Carlisle, taught me the importance of playing defense. We weren't allowed to play if we didn't defend. It was the same way under Andy Russo at Louisiana Tech."
Bailey earned four letters with the Bulldogs. In the 1983-84 season, Bailey teamed with future NBA legend Karl Malone to win the Southland Conference tournament before defeating Fresno State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. It was the first of Bailey's six trips to the postseason as a player or coach.
After spending two years at Nicholls, Bailey returned to his alma mater to work for Jerry Loyd.
"Coaching for Jerry, that's the first time I really realized that, even with a great defense, you still need good offensive players to win games," Bailey said.
He helped lead the team back to the NCAA tournament in 1992.
Bailey would assume the helm of his own program in 1993, spending seven years at Panola College in Texas in a difficult junior-college conference. In the three seasons before he departed, Bailey's clubs qualified for the league tournament each time.
"That time at Panola allowed me to figure out how to run a program and how to implement a system," Bailey said. "It was especially valuable in that it allowed me to see everything through the eyes of a head coach. I understand the head coach much better now."
Bailey would go back to the Southland Conference to join Danny Kaspar's staff for four years at Stephen F. Austin and assisted in turning that program around, winning 42 games in his final two years after just 22 victories in his first two.
Three years working under former Nicholls player and assistant coach Robert Lee at Louisiana-Lafayette followed, including one run back to the NCAA tournament.
"Danny is very demanding and challenging of his players. That's the first time I'd been around that," Bailey said. "Robert let the kids be themselves. He's good at pushing buttons. There's a time and a place for both styles."
After one season back at Louisiana Tech, Bailey found himself away from the collegiate game, but not out of coaching. His new job as a volunteer coach at Cedar Creek High School in Ruston came with an added benefit. His oldest son, Sterling, was a member of the team.
When Bailey was brought back to Nicholls by head coach J.P. Piper during the offseason as an assistant and recruiting coordinator, Piper got a second Bailey in the deal. Sterling, like several freshmen for the Colonels, hasn't played a game yet this year while learning Piper's system.
"You want him to do well," Bailey said of his son. "You just feel so helpless as an assistant. It's all a process. The bad days are just about keeping him positive and trying to make sure he understands what is expected of him. He can make shots. He can make an impact here. It just takes time."
Bailey isn't going to find most recruits in his house, though. Former NBA players Gerard King (Nicholls) and P.J. Brown (Louisiana Tech) were both recruited by Bailey, who's always in search of that next star.
"It's not always about talent. It's about coming out of a good system where coaches are demanding on and off the floor," Bailey said. "I love on-the-floor teaching, but it's always better to teach when you have kids with talent and drive and determination. They go hand in hand."
Piper coaches a defense-first style that harkens back to Bailey's roots.
"Mostly everybody wants to be a perimeter player and our system gives that opportunity," Bailey said. "But it's demanded that you play defense. You're allowed to shoot as long as you don't mind defending. I've grown offensively since my last time here. I have four or five systems in mind. But the mentality is still defense first."
This is Bailey's second time around at Nicholls. Some things, though, don't change.

Nice character pic! History's kind of Jazz's memory, too (well, American history anyway...), and she probably wouldn't mind some flirting either XD
Gift of gab?
Jazz can talk to ANYthing. Even unusual things...for example houses.
I love her design! She seems like a really cool character.
Thanks! I have a lot of fun writing for her...I think I already said that in my comments though...but really, it's because whenever I have an idea for a random bit of story that doesn't quite go anywhere else, I can always weave it into hers.
Wow she's cool and I like her color!
She looks wonderful. Though I think on my screen she's a little too dark ... :\
That's the real problem with her, her colors appear different on just about every single freaking screen I see her on.
She's definitely a character for print.

Gregorio Jesús Gil y Gil (12 March 1933 – 14 May 2004) was a Spanish businessman and politician. He served as Mayor of Marbella between 1991 and 2002, and presided for a 16-year tenure as president of the Spanish football club Atlético Madrid.
In the 1960s Gil ran a construction firm building gated communities. A complex he had built in San Rafael, near Segovia, collapsed in 1969, killing 58 people and injuring many others. A subsequent investigation showed that the cement in the new building had not yet set, and the whole project had been completed without use of architects, surveyors, or plans. Gil was sentenced to five years in prison, but was pardoned after 18 months by General Franco.[1]
In 1987, Gil was elected president at football side Atlético Madrid (his first signing was that of 21-year-old Portuguese winger Paulo Futre), where he initiated a volatile relationship with fans, reporters, players and head coaches. In 1992 he shut down Atlético's youth academy, which saw talented 15-year-old Raúl switch to crosstown rivals Real Madrid.
Most of Marbella's local police were recruited indirectly by Gil among legionnaires and members of other elite military forces throughout southern Spain and Northern Africa during the 1980s/90s, and some of these officers comprised Gil's own private garde de corps.[2]
In a March 1997 incident as the two teams met in the 1996–97 Champions League quarterfinals, Gil referred to Ajax Amsterdam, due to its many players of Surinamese origin, as FC Congo.[citation needed]
In 1991, he founded and led the Grupo Independiente Liberal (GIL) as his political vehicle, and was elected as mayor of Marbella the same year.[1] He installed a bust of former dictator, Franco, in the town hall and was known for walking the streets of the town shouting abuse at prostitutes and homeless people.[1] His mayorship was popular enough for him to be re-elected three times.[1]
In April 2002, he was banned for 28 years from holding public office, forced to stand down as mayor and briefly imprisoned.[3][4]
In early 2008, a full, two-episode documentary appeared in Tele 5 explaining the highlights of his life and career.
Gil died from a brain hemorrhage, aged 71, in Madrid.
Political reputation[edit]
Gil was famous and controversial for his extreme right-wing political views, summed up in a unique brand of foulmouthed, low-brow populism[5] punctuated by self-aggrandizing,[6] sexist,[7] homophobic,[8][9] racist,[10][11] xenophobic and otherwise derogatory[12] remarks and, occasionally, by pre-democratic nostalgia.[13]
He publicly referred to former Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) town councilor Isabel García Marcos as a "whore" during town council meetings and, on one occasion, dubbed journalist Carmen Rigalt as "la jinetera del periodismo" (prostitute of journalism). The Málaga coastline, effectively under the area of economic and political influence of the Gil family, became a popular residence for British, Italian, and Russian gangsters while he was mayor, as well as a haven for former Nazis either awaiting or avoiding extradition, such as Otto Remer and Léon Degrelle. At the same time, however, Gil instigated several crackdowns on drug users and prostitutes. He was involved in several criminal cases, including the so-called Caso de las camisetas.[3] and Caso Atlético.[4]
Crime rates and open manifestations of poverty decreased dramatically during the first years of his administration but this apparent success was obtained at the expense of civil liberties, including the beatings of delinquents and prostitutes, deportation of foreigners with low incomes, handouts of money to homeless people in exchange for leaving town, etc. The subsequent apparent improvement in the lifestyle of a segment of the population was cited as a main reason for his re-elections.[14]

U-20 Cup has Tar Heels in two finals at once
Then again, Notre Dame has its own chance to pull off a rare double on Sunday.
A few hours after North Carolina and Notre Dame meet for the NCAA championship in Cary, the United States plays North Korea in the final of the Under-20 World Cup in Chile. North Carolina sophomores Nikki Washington and Meghan Klingenberg and Notre Dame sophomore Lauren Fowlkes are members of the American team looking to reclaim the sport's top youth international crown after losses in both the 2004 and 2006 tournaments.
And as it turns out, the world we live in has allowed both college sides to stay in touch with their national team compatriots as all three teams progressed to Sunday's two finals.
"I think Meghan and Nikki were listening to the pregame talk [Friday]," Casey Nogueira said of North Carolina's semifinal against UCLA. "Someone had a phone because they wanted to hear it. And Nikki told me that they wanted to watch the game so bad but they didn't have the channel, so they called someone over the internet and had a webcam and made the person they called put the webcam on the TV."
Give a slight edge in creativity to the players from Chapel Hill, but Fowlkes has done her best to keep up to speed on the Fighting Irish with regular e-mails and her own Web surfing.
"She definitely has stayed with us every step of the way. She watches the games when she can on the Internet -- I don't think she can get ESPN," Brittany Bock said.
Fowlkes, Klingenberg and Washington all started for the United States in both its quarterfinal win against England and semifinal win against Germany. And after a quarter of an hour spent parrying questions about her team's recent success against North Carolina, Notre Dame senior defender Carrie Dew, a veteran of the 2006 Under-20 World Cup, beamed like a proud parent when it came to Fowlkes' performance in South America.
"I think she actually was player of the game in the semifinals, so she's doing extremely well down there," Dew said.
The bigger picture involved in the timing of the two events is something less than a feel-good story. FIFA's apparent unwillingness to take the United States college schedule into consideration (remembering that the NCAA is home not only to the American players but also the bulk of Canada's U-20 roster and a growing number of players from other countries) is on a long list of ways in which the international governing body marginalizes the women's game.
But those storm clouds aside, the current situation does create a uniquely compelling day of women's soccer Sunday, spread from North Carolina all the way to South America.
"We miss them so much, but we're really proud of them and how well they're doing down in Chile," Nogueira said.

Shipping Professional Network in London (SPNL) hosted another well attended event, sponsored by DNV-GL and held at the UK Chamber of Shipping offices in London. Martin Crawford-Brunt (UK & Rep of Ireland Manager for DNV-GL) was keynote speaker for this event, covering three main topics:
Organized as an independent, autonomous foundation, DNV-GL serves a range of industries, with a special focus on the maritime and energy sectors. Established in 1864, the company has a global presence with a network of 300 offices in 100 countries, and is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
Martin, responsible for DNV-GL's Maritime business in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, spoke of the challenges of energy efficiency and the shipping industry being prepared to embrace future changes. "I think everybody realizes we are entering a challenging decade, looking at the increased number of stricter regulations coming in at a rapid pace and, more importantly, with unclear implementation or enforcement dates. When you look at tonnage oversupply, rising operating costs, global energy prices and the volatility connected to those, together with technology, it has become very difficult to choose what to do and when to do it."
Of course the backdrop to this is an increase in tonne miles in global shipping – approximately 4% on a global basis as the world economy grows. There will always be a demand for shipping but also shipping has a responsibility to be environmentally sound and to play its part in reducing global emissions.
Martin talked about the range of alternative fuels, stating all options having a place in the future; "There is increasing interest in LNG, ship electrification, biofuels and also LPG and methanol but there are other possibilities too," he said. "Rather than there being only one solution, either its LNG or not, or its methanol or not, it's either batteries or not, we think it's going to be everything and, in a way, we should hope it is going to be everything - that's the only way to bring down the cost in terms of fuel -utilizing all the options available to you."
He went on to discuss the importance of looking at the costs involved in creating these new fuels and the lifecycle assessment of fuels – the cost of getting it out of the ground and into a distribution system, as well as 'tank to propeller' - looking and comparing the potential propulsion, emissions and efficiencies that derive from new fuels, along with availability.
"Nothing is going to replace oil based fuels for a considerable period of time in terms of availability. Natural gas is the next option and there is more and more liquefied natural gas (LNG) coming into the market so the availability is quite important when we are thinking about how this can have an impact for global shipping." Martin added. With more and more owners looking at LNG and being LNG ready, DNV-GL will work with owners to evaluate their needs and the best options for their vessels. Some owners are preparing vessels to be LNG ready ahead of upcoming regulations and to also attract future charterers, which delays 60-70% of the cost until they wish to implement it - when the market needs it - a smart way of planning for optionality in the future.
Martin concluded "Things are changing very, very rapidly; there are a whole host of solutions out there. Speed of regulatory change is a bit of a 'game-changer', and things like sulphur caps are quite significant in terms of operating costs, both as opportunities and challenges. For companies to stay ahead in these challenging operating environments, it will become increasingly important to be able to access better information and systems and DNV-GL are investing in understanding, integrating and optimizing the whole system. Enhancing the business performance while reducing the risk requires sound technical and commercial understanding and that is an area where we are trying to stay in the forefront, in terms of our investment in R&D and what information we publicly produce."
After the keynote presentation, a question and answer session took place, with a number of SPNL members taking the opportunity to gain further industry insight by asking some pertinent and challenging questions.
Claudio Chiste, SPNL Chairman from Investec Bank shipping & marine finance, said, "We are delighted to have secured Martin, yet another high profile speaker, who gave members an engaging view of the future of alternative fuels and technologies. We are grateful for DNV-GL for all their support, and that from the UK Chamber of Shipping for hosting us. SPNL shares the view of our Honorable Affiliate; the UK Chamber of Shipping that diversity of the maritime cluster is regarded as valuable and as strengthening the maritime fabric of the UK. With so many young members and guests from all aspects of shipping, we had a good range of questions and we continued discussions and networking over drinks at The Mudlark afterwards - another hugely successful SPNL event."

Hi there!
Have problems regarding setting up my child theme with a premium theme called 'big city' that I purchased from themefore.
When creating the child theme in my hosting provider and going back into wordpress to activate, it doesn't carry across the 'option-tree' design template of this theme. What I mean by this, is all the unique features of the big city parent template do not copy across. It only brings across the basic features like the header picture that I had set up originally on the parent page and my logo. Am I missing some extra code in my style.css?? This is what I have (please note I changed the author name for my privacy).
Theme Name: bigcity child theme
Description: Child theme for the bigcity theme
Author: (private)
Template: bigcity
Version: 3.0
*/ @import url("../bigcity/style.css");
I have even tried uninstalling the parent theme and reinstalling from scratch. since I had originally used it to start modifying my blog before creating a child theme. Naturally, I really want to use a child theme now to save potential future problems.
Thanks in advance for your help!

June: Summer-Front Kitchen Backsplash
"We bought this 'summer front' at a farm auction for $110," says TOH reader Renay Davis of Louisville, Kentucky, who had been looking at pricey basket-weave tile to protect the wall behind her cooktop. The Victorian-era cast-iron antique, once used to cover a fireplace during the off-season, is now a fancy focal point that saved the Davises more than $800 in materials. Chuck coated the piece with tile sealer to make it easy to clean, then mounted it between the wall studs. We like how it turns the kitchen into the true hearth of their home.

text: Looked at a ton of these and this one comes far and away the closest to what I need: a little unobtrusive window where people can give a rating and however much commentary I need. Only problem is that if someone's comment has a comma in it, everything before the comma gets deleted, and I believe the comments section is only 256 characters long. But I wrote the developer and they got right back saying they'd work on that. So 5 stars for the combination of what exists now and the responsiveness!

The names of nine fallen soldiers are now inscribed along with 327 others on a memorial wall in Fort Carson's Kit Carson Park.
Master Sgt. Charles Price was one of those remembered at the ceremony Thursday. SSG John Hammil spoke about his memories of fighting alongside Price.
"He would do anything for the soldiers on duty, off duty and he was just the best platoon sergeant I've ever had in the army. Ask any guy and they'll tell you the same thing. This was a huge hit for us," Hammil said.
Since 2004, Fort Carson has engraved the stones with the names of soldiers who perished during combat.

Heavy pollen leaves many locals sniffling
Published: Monday, April 16, 2007 at 8:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 16, 2007 at 10:28 a.m.
HOUMA -- The haze on your brain and the seemingly soupy, pollen-heavy air isnt just your imagination. The oaks are in bloom, and south Louisiana allergy sufferers are sniffling more than usual.
Cope with your allergy
Allergy specialists explain how to keep spring allergies from spoiling your enjoyment of the season.
Take an extra shower. After youve been outside gardening or exercising, take a shower to rinse pollens from your body.
Change clothes. Just going indoors doesnt stop exposure to pollen.
Run the washer. Put pollen-contaminated clothes in the wash and change into a fresh outfit after youve been active outside.
Keep windows closed. Its tempting to open windows, but youll regret giving airborne pollens such easy access.
Use your air conditioner. When the house needs cooling, air conditioning is the best bet. It keeps pollens out.
Schedule wisely. If possible, stay inside in early morning, at night and on sunny, windy days when pollen counts usually are higher. Use exercise videos at home or walk in an enclosed mall.
Stay on top of treatment. Talk with your doctor about whether you need allergy shots, antihistamines, decongestants or other prescription or nonprescription medicines, and take them as recommended.
Watch for side effects. Certain antihistamines can cause drowsiness and shouldnt be used while driving or doing other tasks that require alertness. Some decongestants elevate blood pressure.
Try nasal irrigation. An over-the-counter saline nose spray can help wash out pollens. But dont use other nonprescription nose sprays for more than three days or youll experience rebound inflammation, making symptoms even worse.
Sources: Dr. Suresh Anand of Allergy Associates & Lab in Tempe, Ariz., and Dr. Laura Ispas-Ponas of the Sonoran Allergy and Asthma Center in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Drier conditions than usual conditions this year are allowing tree pollen to linger longer, said Dr. Guy P. Zeringue III of the Southern Ear, Nose and Throat clinic in Thibodaux. And lingering cool temperatures caused tree- and grass-pollen seasons to overlap, making the month of April a torturous one for those prone to hay fever.
Tree pollen is usually prevalent from late February and through April, while grass pollen is present in late March through June.
These heavy pollens can cause some peoples bodies to "overreact" and develop symptoms like runny nose and itchy, watery eyes and fever and fatigue.
And with so much pollen in the air, some people who never before experienced allergy symptoms may start to experience them as their bodies are barraged with irritants.
Allergies are a year-round problem in Louisiana because there tends to be a high amount of mold, which causes allergic reactions in many.
But there are simple ways to tone down the pain of allergy season.
First of all, keep a clean house.
"Allergies tend to build on one another," Zeringue said. "Meaning, if youre a little allergic to pollen, and a little allergic to dust mites and youre exposed to both, then youre going to have a much stronger reaction."
Washing your sheets regularly in hot water and bleach will lessen your exposure to pollen and dust mites. If you work outside, you should shower soon after you finish.
Changing air-conditioning filters regularly also will help limit the amount of air-borne dust in your home.
Most allergy symptoms can be treated with over-the-counter drugs, Zeringue said. Claritin and Alavert are two recommended antihistamines, medicines that block allergic reactions. Benedryl is another antihistamine, but it is strong and can cause drowsiness. Zeringue recommends it for nighttime use.
For that nagging runny nose, Sudafed is the strongest decongestant available without a prescription, Zeringue said.
If your allergies plague you throughout the year, not just when the pollen is extremely heavy, Zeringue recommends a doctors visit.
"There are long-term treatments, and prescription medications that are very effective," he said. "People dont have to suffer."

bekim replied to HellOnICE's topic in HellFor those who have watched the majority of the pre-season games, how would you letter-grade each Devil of interest? Ie, A+, B-, C, D, F, etc. I haven't gotten to watch enough of it. Specifically, how do people grade the following this pre-season: Tlusty Josefson Palmieri Boucher Zacha Stempniak Matteau Kalinin Larsson Merrill Severson Moore Gelinas Schlemko
bekim replied to BostonNala370's topic in HellI really can't wait for TOR to sign Gomez.
All those things are true. And yet, I'm unconvinced anything catastrophic would have resulted in the Devils having cut ties with Zajac. The team would have had to turn elsewhere for its marginal play driving. NJ was basically Buffalo-bad last year. At any rate, I am not advocating that NJ should have absolutely not re-signed Zajac. At the time, it seemed to make a lot of sense to make sure one of our guys was locked up, and after losing others, it was a calculated risk. LL calculated the money a little too highly in Zajac's favor, and that's all any of this is about - assessing Zajac as a team asset within the confines of his cap hit and actual team value. Had I been the GM at the time, I would have also tried to keep Zajac. But most posters on this forum view the Zajac question in black and white, which annoys me. As I said, he's a good player, who just doesn't happen to be worth his current contract for what he brings, which subsequently means that his contract is negative value. Many teams have these kinds of contracts. It's unavoidable in the cap era. All the same, it's still better not to have guys signed to overpayments, because cup teams are built on cashing in on player-value before the player cashes in on dollar value. With Zajac, we're starting from the rear, knowing his contract isn't a "good" one, ie, one where the player outperforms the dollars and nets us additional "value". Anyway, I like Zajac. I hope he has better fortunes. I hope he logs big minutes, can pot 40+ points and play well defensively. It is what it is. But on the question of value... his is a diminishing return, and it has been from the moment the contract got signed.
That's an opinion I can respect and say "sure, that makes sense." But may I ask a follow-up question (that isn't meant to be incendiary or anything)... can you define what you mean by "catastrophic"? What would not having Zajac meant for the past 2 years or the next several? For me, those types of exercises are difficult to prove out. Would NJ have been the worst team in the league last year? If so, would they have had a higher pick? Would Schneider have demanded a trade? Would NJ have signed an over-rated free agent center or traded for Mike Richards to fill the hole? I don't know. But catastrophic is a strong word, so I'm curious to know what it means. The Devils have lost several key players over the last two decades. I don't know that any of their losses produced an immediate catastrophe - ie, no tickets were sold, fans stopped coming, and the Devils had to move to a new city (which is how I would define it).
Didn't realize this was a discussion of speculative future bad contract or every other team's bad contracts. Thought it was a discussion of the corporeal Zajac in the here and now. My bad. I dunno that I ever said it was a "big deal." But 1 bad contract is something. 2 bad contracts is something worse. 3 bad contracts is worse still. Etc. Less bad = more better. That's the only point. Zajac's contract is not the worst in the league for what he brings. But it is an overpayment. I think this horse is dead though. People want to defend Zajac to no end and I guess that's fine, if that's the objective. But my objective was in discussing Zajac's value, not whether or not "it's okay to have a bad contract."
2 years in, it's a mistake. If the cap goes up by a crazy amount, the mistake doesn't seem as bad. But it's a mistake, and players over 30 don't generally get better than they were in their 20s. I think Zajac can salvage it if he can be a top defensive player and pot 50 points, but it's going to be hard to see it as anything but negative-value within the context of the cap. Is it impacting us now that we're gutted and rebuilding? No. Not at the moment. We'll see how it looks in a few years. But I believe contracts can be judged at any point. With the caveat that they should probably be re-judged annually. And since this discussion is taking place in the summer of 2015, that's when I am judging it. My 2 cents.
That may be - but that's an unknown. I don't think comparing 1 negative value contract (Zajac's) against future fictional contracts is a fair way of assessing a player's current (or projected) value. I hope NJ doesn't sign ANY bad contracts. Obviously they will because contracts are an exercise in negotiation and prediction. At any rate, Zajac is overpaid. He's not overpaid by 4 million or anything absurd like that. But he is probably overpaid by at least 1 million, possibly more like 1-2.
Seeing how NJ currently has 2 established NHL forwards (Henrique/Camm) outside of Zajac signed through 16-17, that's not really saying all that much.
Travis Zajac is a "good" player. But I think in the salary cap era, blanket statements about good and bad are themselves pointless. The question and discussion of usefulness should always be: "is this a positive-value contract within the construct of the team cap" or "is it a negative-value contract." And the answer to that might change even year to year depending on what kind of team is iced, how competitive they are projected to be, and so on. The internal discussion of Zajac is probably the most polarizing of all Devils' topics. Personally, I think Zajac is an excellent defensive forward and has a lot of in-a-vacuum-value to the Devils. I also think with the right amount of luck and confidence, Zajac has the skill [potentially] to be a 60 point player in this league. All that said, do I think his defensive value and his generally-unrealized offensive potential warrants a cap of his magnitude within the construct of the team and league-defined maximum? I do not. I think Zajac is a nice player with a nice skillset, but I find his contract to be negative value. It's not so bad as to be an anchor or anything, and he's not the reason NJ is an unsuccessful team, but paying him what the Devils do, he isn't worth the money. If the Devils were say in a situation like the Rangers and were inside a cup-window, then yeah, maybe the contract makes more sense. But since NJ probably won't be good for 3 years, Zajac will be 33 at that time and probably much less relevant. Overall, the contract was a mistake. It didn't ruin us, but it certainly didn't help.
bekim replied to BostonNala370's topic in HellRight, unless it involves trading for Gionta or sending us JVR, what's to follow?
bekim replied to SMantzas's topic in HellNever got a fair shake. Would love to see Ruutu used in some different roles and to see what he could bring across different spots in the top 9. He scored 57 points 5 years ago playing a top role in Carolina, and I believe played center as well as the wings. Granted, he was 27 then and is now 32 or so, and I don't expect that to ever happen again. But I could easily see Ruutu being a great utility player for NJ who could be used in various situations. He's definitely more skilled than your typical grinders, and I think a spot on line #2 for different stretches would suit him nicely. Will he put up 57 points? No. But I wouldn't be shocked if this guy has 40 points in him given the right rhythm and linemates. More realistic for this coming season is maybe 15 goals and 15 assists, and then likely fades into UFA. But if he does well, wouldn't mind him back on a short-term 1 or 2 year (much cheaper) contract.
bekim replied to Jerzey's topic in Helljust for the purpose of having some nhl bodies - since our roster is scrappy at best right now - does anyone think a C/RW such as Eric Fehr makes sense? he's more a player suited for an already-good team to be a compliment. but he does seem to be capable of scoring 15-20 goals in 3rd line role (plus he can play center). i know these names have been dragged through the mud already, but after the semin signing, they are starting to fall off the list. i could see a 1-2 year deal making some sense, but i could also see shero not looking for his type right now.
bekim replied to bekim's topic in HellThanks! I don't post often here, but I've been around for a while and try to do what I can when I have time. I do read the board every day. :-)
bekim replied to SterioDesign's topic in HellI think if he's a cost-controlled 4th liner who can chip in for about 10 goals a year with hard nosed play, that would be fine. He's not the make or break piece of the rebuild. Sure, he's a first round pick, but it's not like he's a top 10 pick by any means. The Devils have plenty of need for talented forwards who can play scoring roles in the top 9, but expectations should probably not fall on Matteau to be one of them. Who knows, maybe he takes more of a Randy McKay path, carving out a feisty role, and maybe one day trying to move up the lines.
bekim posted a topic in HellDoes Patty retire after the upcoming season, realizing New Jersey is in a true rebuild, and that his two cups and many records are both huge team and personal achievements? Or do the Devils sign him to a 1-2 year contract (after this year) to help serve as a functional any-spot player, seeing how there may be several open roster spots in 16-17 with the departures of Zubrus, Gionta, Ruutu, Tootoo? Just food for thought, as the Martin St. Louis retirement made me think about this.

I dont want users to be able to comment on any folders or images anywhere in the gallery. How can I turn comments off?
What theme do you use?
You could change the templates to not include the comments template
Found it thanks. Had to remove the comments template call from twentytwelve.
Another question, how can I hide the image captions? I dont want them to show in the thumbnail view or in the widgets. However when i try to use CSS to hide them it always also hides the folders names.
I cant seem to find a unique ID to just hide the captions in thumbnail view.
If you use the eazyest-gallery templates, or a modified version, this should work:
.galleryfolder .wp-caption-text.gallery-caption { display:none; }
Thanks, but the problem with that is then the names of subfolders aren't displayed. Could there not be an option whether or not to display captions in thumbnail view like there was in Lazyest Gallery. Overall Lazyest Gallery had a lot more options. Will they be making their way to Eazyest gallery too?

I'm writing some code where I defined the following base class.
class Chorus{
virtual ~Chorus();
//callback function
virtual int callback( void *outputBuffer, void *notUsed, unsigned int
nBufferFrames, double streamTime, RtAudioStreamStatus status, void *userData );
virtual void initializeDelayBuffer(void);
virtual void destroyDelayBuffer(void);
I want to use this as a base class and not actually do anything with it on its own. So I have two seperate classes which are derived from this class Chorus. I wanted to do this to simply provide some basic constraints as to what any derived Chorus class MUST have to be considered usable in my program.
When I build my project (Visual Studio 2008), I get unresolved external symbol errors on all the virtual functions from this Chorus class. I'm guessing it's the typical error where I didn't make forward declarations of these functions. But, since they are virtual and I don't want them to actually be defined to do anything until they are defined within the deriving classes, what do I do to resolve this issue?

Rorke Data, a subsidiary of San Jose-based Bell Microproducts, has announced a new long-distance SAN connectivity solution for nonlinear editing systems (NLEs). Rorke is now representing Entrada's SilverLine CWDM (Coarse Wave Divisional Multiplex) device, which will connect multiple NLE systems in a SAN configuration that separates clients with up to 100km of fiber-optic cable.
The SilverLine CWDM solution, fitting in a single rack unit, costs far less than traditional metro optic infrastructure connectivity devices, Rorke said, and offers users access to all of the features and advantages a SAN has to offer, including the capability for project collaboration and real-time work.
"The CWDM value-proposition is straightforward," said Joe Rorke, vice president of marketing for Rorke Data. "We can increase the effective capacity of a given dark fiber connection by leveraging increased bandwidth to port aggregation at a 4:1 utilization rate. Since CWDM is an 'Optical Extender' for diverse data networks, users can mix and match other connections such as GigE or SONET over this same single dark fiber. CWDM quickly pays for itself by aggregating multiple types of data over a single strand."
Prior to CWDM, many in the industry perceived dark fiber to be very expensive. As a result, although many medium-to-large size facilities (or project owners) had invested in a SAN, remote SAN connectivity as an option for collaboration through the integration of dark fiber was not a financially feasible consideration. Similarly, larger facilities typically held the assumption that the current 1:1 ratio and the high cost of using that dark fiber connection was simply the price of doing business.
Applications for CWDM include remote SAN connectivity between video post facilities and film studios, ad agencies and corporate clients; university and corporate campuses; digital video security and surveillance and sports stadium connectivity.
Entrada's SilverLine CWDM is now available exclusively through Rorke Data.

History & Culture
The Congaree floodplain is rich in cultural history.
Prehistoric foragers hunted the area and fished its waters. The Congaree claimed the floodplain and Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto recounted the intrigue of the area in his journals. Around 1700, the Congaree were decimated by a smallpox epidemic introduced with the arrival of European settlers. The new residents obtained land grants from the King of England until 1776, when the state of South Carolina assumed the right to distribute ownership of the land. Attempts to make the land suitable for planting, as well as grazing, continued through 1860. The floodplain's minor changes in elevation and consequent flooding stifled agricultural activity; but the intermittent flooding allowed for soil nutrient renewal and enabled the area's trees to thrive. Bald Cypress, in particular, became a target for logging. By 1905, the Santee River Cypress Lumber Company, owned by Francis Beidler, had acquired much of the land. Poor accessibility by land confined logging to tracts near waterways so that logs could be floated down river. In the perpetual dampness, though, many of the cut trees remained too green to float. Operations were suspended within ten years, leaving old-growth remaining in the floodplain.
In 1969 relatively high timber prices prompted private landowners to consider resuming logging operations. As a result of an effective grass roots campaign launched by the Sierra Club and many local individuals, Congress established Congaree Swamp National Monument in 1976.
On June 30, 1983 Congaree Swamp National Monument was designated an International Biosphere Reserve. In July of 2001 it was designated a Globally Important Bird Area, and on November 10, 2003 it was designated as the nation's 57th National Park.

And they just passed $3 Million, with almost 11 days left. It seems to be slowing down but on pace to be the best selling Humble Bundle ever. it's already the second best, best was around 5 million and change
So I just got this bundle for a hefty $7 and activated them on steam and now they won't install. I'm at "converting existing game installation" and the progress bar just sits there at 0%.
What gives? Should I just sit on it over night?
i was not crying in the shower
i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye - Kylo Ren
So I closed steam, opened the task manager, closed the lingering steam process, restarted steam and now the games are downloading.
i was not crying in the shower
i just realized how i'll never get to meet darth vader and then soap got in my eye - Kylo Ren
Was just wondering. but what is everyone's donation been to Humble bundle for the package this time? Also what percentage did you give to the 3 choices? I gave 25$ with 20 for THQ and 5 for charity. normally I would give more but the bell ringers at the stores around here have been getting my change for over a week now.
btw i played them both.
just too bad i dislike fps games and i already had DS1 and SR3 i also had Red faction(i liked the second more open world version more tho)
also at ppl preaching darksiders is a god of war rip-off thats the same as claiming bayonetta and devil may cry are also ripp-offs

Meh, I already got the games from that bundle that is worth anything.
Then he fapped to his own pseudo-intellectualism and no one ever loved him. Ever.
The End
THQ's stock rises nearly 40% thanks to Humble Bundle
Something positive, eh?
"when women wear makeup they're basically lying to us"
Well, I don't see why women are being blamed if man is stupid enough to really think they have red and gold eyelids.
Quote from the article about stock prices quote above, hilarious.Whether you think the organisers of the Humble Bundle were right to host a Windows only, Steam only bundle of great games (and Red Faction: Armageddon)
Just checked my email and saw the email about the two additional games. Clicked the link and there were my activation codes. Wondering if they are going to add more games to the bundle as the deadline gets closer. These 2 adds are generating more sales I see.
Saint's Row alone is worth the buy. The AI for followers is fucking awful and makes the game way more frustrating than it has any right to be, but it's still the most fun and entertaining game I've played since Portal 2.

The only change I made was to omit the coriander and mint as we don't overly care for either but enjoyed all the flavours and lovely crunch that the salad gave. Thank you JustJanS, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 16.

Officials investigating cause of Asheville home explosion
Published: Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 12:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 12:44 p.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina officials are investigating what caused an explosion that destroyed a vacant house.
No one was home and no one was injured when the explosion happened Saturday afternoon.
Debris from the explosion landed on neighboring roofs and pierced the siding on one house. Glass shards covered the street.
Asheville Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Dan Flinn said neighbors had not seen anyone at the home for a couple of weeks. The woman who had lived there for about 50 years died a month ago.
Asheville-Buncombe Arson Task Force director Buddy Thompson said the woman's family had been cleaning out the house.
