This is good but after a bit more than 3 hours in the fridge it did not have much of a rose water flavour at all, just sugar. I followed the recipe exactly except used green grapes as that is what I had on hand. Made for Family Picks, ZWT6, Greece/Cyprus region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood.
I love anything with fresh fruit in it and this was really wonderful. I reduced the recipe by half. Very yummy. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
Love fruit desserts - and this one is delicious with its rose-scented syrup. Made the full amount, but substituted banana for the pear as they're out of season, and not very nice. Yummy.

Seven Killed in Van Crash at Bronx Zoo [Updated]
The victims include three children.
At around 12:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, a van carrying three generations of a single family crashed into woods just south of the Bronx Zoo after driving off an overpass on the Bronx River Parkway. Police and fire department officials say the vehicle carrying the Bronx family was traveling at about 70 miles per hour when it hit the Parkway's median and flew across all lanes of traffic, before mounting the edge railing and falling roughly 60 feet.
All seven occupants of the 2004 Honda Pilot died in the accident — four adults (one male, three female) and three children, girls aged 10, 7 and 3 years old. The vehicle's driver has been identified as 45-year-old Maria Gonzalez, a maintenance worker at Fordham University. Gonzalez's parents were killed in the wreck as well as her sister, 39-year-old Maria Nunez; two of Nunez's girls; and Gonzalez's 10-year-old daughter.
A source described the scene to the Post as, "terrible, just carnage ... the passengers didn't stand a chance." However, with the van landing in an area of the Zoo's woodland off limits to the public, there were no fatalities on the ground — either human or animal.
"The injuries were quite horrific," said Howard Sickles, a deputy chief with the city's EMS. "In 30 years, I've seen something like this once or twice. Everybody was taken aback by it … it's very upsetting."
Surviving members of the family are shocked and in shambles.
"I don't want to live anymore. I'm destroyed," said Juan Gonzalez, husband of Maria Gonzalez and father of their 10-year-old who also lost her life. "I don't want to be alive."

Get to know our instructors for the Winter semester!
All of the instructors at Passim come from an array of different cultures and backgrounds, each with their own musical interpretations, unique skills, and a genuine readiness to encourage their students to actively grow in their craft. Our roster of instructors includes both locally and nationally recognized performing musicians, accomplished music educators, and industry professionals.
Nathaniel Braddock is the leader of the internationally touring Occidental Brothers Dance Band Int'l and a ten-year faculty member of Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. He has performed extensively with African artists and with American and Australian indie rock bands. His instrumental solo guitar and mandolin sets feature the crossroads of African roots music and American primitive guitar, with original compositions that extend into modern harmonies and complex rhythms with the complexity of chamber music. Braddock created and curated the monthly Sydney Folk Guitar School and Hoot Night after moving to Sydney, Australia in 2014-5, and has recently relocated to Boston, Massachusetts. www.nathanielbraddock.com/
Eleanor Buckland is a songwriter, singer, and fiddler, but not always in that order. As a 4th generation performing musician, Eleanor has been singing melodies since before she could talk. So it seems only natural that she would eventually fall in love with writing songs. Growing up in Maine in a musical family, her passion for songwriting and performing grew out of an influence of traditional fiddle, country & bluegrass music. Now residing in Boston, MA, she has immersed herself in the thriving folk/roots music community as she brings light and joy to stages such as Club Passim & Lizard Lounge. She's had the honor of performing with Matt Glaser, Bruce Molsky, Rose Cousins, Laura Cortese & Dietrich Strause. Her most exciting and recent musical endeavor is Lula Wiles, her band with fellow Mainers, Isa Burke and Mali Obomsawin. What started as jamming at parties and around campfires has become a project of electric musical chemistry from their shared affinity for grooving and the craft of both songwriting and performing.
Hailing from the vast suburbs of Houston Texas, Dan Bui currently makes his home in Cambridge, MA where he plays the mandolin in a variety of Boston and New England bands. After several formative years of classical piano and violin lessons, Dan was introduced to the mandolin by seeing Sam Bush play on PBS, and he became obsessed with getting and playing one. Many years later, and he is a now a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, where he studied with acoustic luminaries like John McGann, Darol Anger, Joe Walsh, and Jason Anick. In addition to a busy schedule of performing, Dan also freelances as an audio engineer in Boston, and has recorded and mixed projects featuring some of the area's top young acoustic musicians; his latest project being the Twisted Pine EP.
Allison de Groot combines love and passion for old-time music, technical skill and a creative approach to the banjo forming her own sound – unique and full of personality. Although firmly rooted in old-time and traditional music, she has shown her ability to collaborate and create outside this genre, pushing the boundaries of the clawhammer banjo. Allison has toured all over the world with various groups, performing at venues such as Trafalgar Square in London, Newport Folk Festival, Stockholm Folk Festival and mainstage slots at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Tønder Festival in Denmark and Vancouver Folk Festival. She has performed with Oh My Darling, Bruce Molsky, The Goodbye Girls, Tony Trishka, Mandolin Orange and Molly Tuttle & John Mailander, to name a few. In 2012, Allison was awarded the Slaight Family Scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. where she went through the American Roots Program on clawhammer banjo. She is involved in both the American and Canadian music scenes, and splits her time between Boston, MA and Winnipeg, MB. www.allisondegroot.com
Janet Feld teaches private lessons and offers video lesson programs to people of all ages. She teaches guitar and songwriting at The Passim School of Music and general music at St. John Paul II Catholic Academy in Dorchester and JCC Grossman Camp in Westwood. Her mission is to help people experience the fact that you don't have to be from the "special talented people" planet in order to learn how to play a musical instrument. Janet is also an award winning performing songwriter, appearing at folk festivals and coffeehouses from coast to coast throughout a nearly three decade career. Follow Janet's blog here.
In his wealth of experience teaching groups, private students, himself, and through performing, Bertrand has developed a truly original, fun and efficient teaching style. He believes a good teacher is a student forever. He strives to be a music teacher that teaches music through the guitar, that wants to make a difference in the student's ability to have more freedom and fun on the instrument (technique, tone, phrasing, fluidity) and in the mind (understanding how music works, developing the ear to pitch and pattern recognition, hearing "sound colors" and how the student can tell his/her musical story).
Sam Moss is a Boston based songwriter and string player. His work rambles through various offshoots of Americana, from original and interpreted folk songs, to pastoral and occasionally jagged instrumental guitar. In addition to eight solo albums, Moss has released two albums with the old-time group, The Howling Kettles, and compiled Imaginational Anthem Volume Five for Tompkins Square Records. He is the recipient of a MacDowell Colony fellowship, and his work has been featured in No Depression, Pitchfork, The FADER, Paste, and Daytrotter, among others.
GennaRose Nethercott is a poet, performer, and folklorist from the woodlands of Vermont. She has toured her work to poetry venues, theaters, libraries, and schools across the United States and Europe, and her writing has appeared widely in journals and anthologies. She was named the grand prize winner of Spark Creative Anthology's poetry competition and the Lindenwood Review's flash fiction contest. On sunny days, she is often stationed on street corners writing poems-to-order for passersby on a 1952 Hermes Rocket typewriter. A collection of these commissioned works, entitled Poems for Strangers, was released by Honeybee Press in 2015. She studied poetry, theatre and folklore at Hampshire College and The University of Edinburgh. www.gennarosenethercott.com
Annie Raines was born in 1969 near Boston, MA. She picked up the blues harp at 17 and made her stage debut at the 1369 Jazz Club in Cambridge. Enthralled by the recordings of Muddy Waters, Little Walter Jacobs, Big Walter Horton and Sonny Boy Williamson, she became a fixture at Boston area blues jams. She started out playing the New England club circuit with local bands, and traveled to Chicago where she met and played with many of her musical idols including Pinetop Perkins, Louis Myers, and James Cotton. She paired up with country blues guitar master Paul Rishell in 1992, and together they have earned loyal fans around the globe. They have released seven albums together, including 'Moving To The Country', the W.C. Handy Award winner for "Acoustic Blues Album of the Year," and have performed on diverse radio and TV shows including A Prairie Home Companion, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and PBS's Arthur. They have performed and recorded with Susan Tedeschi, John Sebastian, Pinetop Perkins, and Rory Block. Annie has been teaching harmonica for almost 25 years, and recently released her first instructional video, Blues Harmonica Blueprint (Truefire, 2012).
Originally from Mexico City, Rosa Elena Rivera studied at the Escuela Nacional de Música UNAM. In 2000 she came to Boston, Massachusetts to study at the New England Conservatory. She graduated in 2003 with two Masters Degrees: Vocal Performance and Vocal Pedagogy. She has performed in many solo recitals, small and large ensembles and several productions with different theater companies. Some of her performance experience includes performances with her group "Scura Pasión", The Revels and In Good Company. As a teacher she has worked in both private and public schools systems, conducted ensembles ranging from vocal ensembles, large children choirs, musical plays and recorder consort. Throughout all this years she has kept a voice studio.
Mariel Vandersteel is a musician, educator, graphic designer and visual artist currently living in Boston, Massachusetts. Since graduating from Berklee College of Music, Mariel has established herself as a folk musician of multiple styles, recorded her first solo album, Hickory, lived in Norway while studying the hardingfele, toured Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, Bangladesh and has performed across North America multiple times while touring with Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards. Her interest in world culture and hand crafted folk art along with obsessing over the process of watching Hickory's artwork come to life, has led to an interest in graphic design and she has worked with several New England area musicians on CD design, posters and other promotional material. Mariel has performed and taught nationally and internationally with Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards, Blue Moose and the Unbuttoned Zippers, The Three Irish Tenors, Emma Beaton, Annalivia, Putnam Smith and participated in the Savannah Music Festival's first Acoustic Music Seminar working with artists Zakir Hussein, Edgar Meyer, Mike Marshall, Tony Trischka, and Chris Thile. Mariel is either currently teaching violin lessons privately and at the Club Passim School of Music, performing locally, hugging dogs or finding something creative to explore. www.marielvandersteel.com

(Sep 2015), features 19 original songs and a band of who's who's including Sean Trischka on Drums and Vocals, Duncan Wickel on Fiddle and Noam Wiesenberg on Bass. http://www.stashwyslouch.com/

When I look at my main or Top site there is
no "Add Pluggin" option under the Pluggins Menu
( this is using MYDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/plugins.php )
Is this normal ?
And if I want the pluggins to apply to all
the sites - do I just install and activate them
on the Top site and they are automatically
applied to all sites ?
I saw a plugging called "Multisite Plugin Manager"
may be it is best to use that ?
But at the moment I can not seem to add any pluggin :(

on SO (and SU a bit) this means answering what few questions I can.
on Meta-SO this means using my fresh perspective to provide feedback on what about the site can violate new users' expectations and confuse them (AKA being a whiny n00b).

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Not even the great Mark Spitz was
as dominant at the Pan American Games as Brazilian sensation Thiago
Pereira broke the 40-year-old record of the American star with
six swimming gold medals in one Pan Ams.
On Saturday, Pareira won the men's 200-meter breaststroke to
earn his sixth gold. He finished the race in 2 minutes, 13.51
seconds, beating teammate Henrique Barbosa (2:13.83) and Scott
Spann (2.13.98) of Austin, Texas at the packed Maria Lank aquatic
Spitz won five golds at the 1967 Pan Ams in Winnipeg. He was 17
at the time; Pereira is 21.
"Swimming is very different at the Pan Ams," Pereira said,
referring to the pressure of being at home. "I have to do my best,
and I did my best.
"It was great to break Spitz's record, but it's not over for me
Spitz still holds the record of seven Olympic golds won at the
1972 Munich Games.
On Friday, Pereira won the 200 medley and took gold in the 400
freestyle relay even though he didn't swim in the final. By
swimming a leg in the qualifying race, he was entitled to a gold
medal when the Brazilian team won the final.
Earlier in the Pan Ams, he won the 200 backstroke, the 400
individual medley and the 800 freestyle relay. He has set four Pan
Am Games records in the pool here.
In 1967, Spitz won the 100 and 200 butterfly and three relays:
the 400 free, 400 medley and 800 free.
Pereira, ranked fourth in the world in the 200 medley, has a
chance to win two more medals in Rio. He won a silver and a bronze
at the 2003 Pan Ams in Santo Domingo.
If he wins the other two gold medals, he will tie swimmer
Gustavo Borges, one of his role models, and table tennis player
Hugo Hoyama as the Brazilians with the most golds in the history of
the games.
"I won't say that it's mission accomplished until after I'm
done with Sunday's final," Pereira said. "I'm beginning to feel
tired from all the swimming this week, but I need to keep my focus.
"Swimming has changed so much since 1995, when Gustavo had all
those medals," he said.
A teammate believes Pereira will change the sport even more -- at
least in his country.
"This kid is dominating right now," Scherer said. "Swimming
will grow a lot in Brazil just because of what he is doing here."
Pereira certainly has impressed the American competitors at the
"Thiago is a great competitor. I admire the fact that he has
won so many events. I had one race and that was hard enough. It's
mentally and physically draining," said Eddie Erazo of San Diego,
silver medalist Saturday in the 200 butterfly to another Brazilian,
Kaio Marcio.
"The Pan American Games are great experience. Doing so well
here can definitely help Thiago as a platform to Beijing."

Toronto City Council Aims To Strip Away Mayor's Powers
"Mayor Rob Ford will essentially be mayor in name only after Monday," writes the Toronto Sun. "Three special council meetings — two to be held Friday and one on Monday — have been called to strip Ford of all the powers delegated to him by council and slash his mayor's office budget."
Friday's session began just after 9:30 a.m. ET and is being webcast here by CTV News.
Update at 11:30 a.m. ET: Council Strips Ford Of Power To Hire And Fire
Toronto's city council has voted to take away Ford's powers of appointment, reducing his control over the deputy mayor and selecting who heads committees. The council approved the measure by a vote of 39-3. In a separate vote, the council members voted to strip Ford of his emergency powers, as well.
After the vote, Ford said he would challenge the move in court. He said he has retained an attorney to fight such moves, noting that he intends to pay for his legal fees out of his own pocket.
Our original post continues:
If the session is as fiery as one held Wednesday, it should be compelling. The City Council is moving to strip Ford of his powers because it does not have the authority to remove him from office unless he is convicted of a crime. Ford has not been charged with any crime.
Just in case you're not familiar with this news from Ontario, our previous posts may be of some help:
— Oct. 31: Police Have Video That Led To Claim Toronto Mayor Used Crack
— Nov. 6: Toronto Mayor: 'Yes, I Have Smoked Crack Cocaine'
— Nov. 7: He's 'Extremely Inebriated' In New Video, Toronto Mayor Says
— Nov. 8: Toronto Mayor Advised To 'Go Away For A Couple Of Weeks'
— Nov. 13: Toronto Council Asks Mayor Ford To Temporarily Step Aside
And on Thursday, our headline was: What Amazing Thing Did Toronto's Mayor Say Today? As we wrote:
"After admitting to smoking crack, to buying illegal drugs and to more than once being in a drunken stupor, it would seem like Toronto Mayor Rob Ford couldn't say anything else that would really shock anyone.
"Well ...
"Responding to a new Toronto Globe And Mail report about lewd comments he allegedly made to a woman and other alleged misdeeds of his, Ford denied he'd said those things. Then he went on — using a crude 5-letter word for a woman's genitalia — to say he can get 'more than enough ... at home.' "
Since that latest amazing revelation, Ford has apologized for the "graphic remarks," the CBC says. Ford also said Thursday that he is "receiving support" from health care professions, the CBC writes. It was the first time he's indicated he's getting such help. Ford has said several times that he does not believe he's a drug addict or alcoholic. He's also said he plans to seek re-election in the fall of 2014.

Sustainable Home Alabama: Striving for solar power in the heart of Dixie
In 2001, Bart Slawson heard a lot of people say "you can't do that." An environmental lawyer in Birmingham, Alabama (a phrase that seems like an oxymoron to most), he decided to equip his 2,500 sq. ft. house with a photovoltaic (solar electric) system. "Coal power seems cheap until you realize they're destroying the whole state of West Virginia to get it," he says.
At the time, no other residence in Alabama produced power from the sun. "It's not that people around here don't care," Bart says. "It's that they don't know what's possible. Solar panels are rarer than liberals here."
Mission Impossible
Bart ordered panels, mounting racks, and an inverter from Gaiam Real Goods. But when he went to Home Depot to buy the necessary wiring, they told him he couldn't do that.
"They thought I was trying to wire directly into the power lines," Bart says. The electrician he called to run the wires thought the same thing. So Bart called Gaiam Real Goods back, and they told him how to wire the panels himself. "I waited until my wife was headed out of town one weekend," he says. "The last thing she said was, 'I hope I see you alive again.'"
Homegrown Electricity
Bart bought some beer, invited a few friends over, mounted everything and wired it up. "The manual said aim 'em south and angle 'em the same as the degree of latitude where you live," Bart says. "After we flipped the switch I went down to look at the electric meter. It had stopped cold." Then, slowly, as Bart watched, the needle began to roll backwards.
His system was feeding Alabama Power's grid. "So I called the power company and said, 'I'm feeding electricity into your grid with my solar panels.'" They told him he couldn't do that.
Doing it …
The more Bart explained, the more intrigued Alabama Power became. They sent a technician to inspect the system, then installed a $5,000 meter to monitor its output. "They asked me to fill out an application to return power to their grid," he says, "but they didn't have one because no one had suggested doing it before." So Bart used his legal skills to draft the state's first residential intertie application. Of course, there was no one to approve it — but after a little negotiating, Alabama Power agreed to consider Bart's house a research project.
So far, Bart has cut his electric bill in half (saving an average of $100 a month) and produced 1.58 mWh of electricity. More important, he's sparked conversation by showing that it can be done in Alabama. Partnering with the Alabama Environmental Coalition (www.aeconline.ws),
Bart gives tours of the house and speaks to groups interested in solar. "Maybe one day," he says, "people here considering solar will say, 'Well that guy Slawson did it.'" In the end, that's all the payback Bart wants.
Hurricane Ivan wreaked havoc with the Slawsons' system in fall 2004. The storm felled a tree right on top their house, destroying some of their solar electric system components and leaving the panels producing power with nowhere to go. Bart Slawson called Gaiam Real Goods on a rainy post-hurricane afternoon and said, "I am calling you from my phone that is nailed to a tree in my front yard. It's like a third world country down here right now; please help me get back up and running." Gaiam Real Goods techs got Bart just what he needed: an upgraded inverter, a bank of batteries for backup — and his system powered up again.
Disaster struck again in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina, but this time the storm did no significant physical damage to the Slawsons' home. In fact, the Slawsons' solar electric system kept their home powered up during and after the storm — when thousands of other Alabama residents had no power. Read on.
Tech Specs: Slawson Home's
Solar Electric System
|System Size
|Solar panels
|16 Kyocera 120 Modules
|1 MX60 Outback Controller
|OutBack GVFX3648
|16 185aH Gel Batteries
The fact that he had to explain things to the state power company is really funny and just goes to show that knowledge is "power". I just had to laugh at that line - "You can't do that." LOL.
Does anyone have any stories like this from Florida? I live in Orlando and would like to do the same here.
Looking for Solar and Wind power systems south of BHAM ALABAMA myself.
Alabama has a new solar installer in Mobile! Gulf South Solar, headquartered in Baton Rouge, LA has opened a Mobile office. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
You can still call alabama power up and they will tell you that they do not and will not buy back electricity. Over the past 20 years I have came up with many ways to generate electricity,but in the state of alabama you are talking on death ears.
Actually they do have a program to buy back power now in case you are wondering. The customer service people dont know about it yet, but if you talk to a manager they can direct you to the right person.

I just downloaded the 3.3 beta 3 version and noticed that jQuery 1.7 has been included.
In my opinion, it is too early to include version 1.7 which has been released just a few days ago - the world hasn't updated their plugins yet to be compatible with this version.
For example, many of my themes use the Nivo slider jQuery plugin which is not compatible with jQuery version 1.7 - if WordPress 3.3 goes out with this version of jQuery, not only my themes, but thousands of other themes that use this plugin (it is really a popular one) will look broken.
I will let the developers of the plugin about this bug and hope they will be able to release an update until WordPress 3.3 is released, however I'm sure there will be lots of other jQuery plugins that won't be jQuery 1.7 compatible and we will have lots of problems.
Isn't it better to give the world first some time until all the jQuery plugins are compatible with 1.7 instead of creating such a hassle with the next WordPress release?

Released: May 01st, 1997
Running Time: 85
Director: Jim Holliday
Company: Plush Entertainment
Cast: Sindee Coxx, Nico Treasure, Stephanie Swift, Lexi Eriksson, Julie Rage, Jill Kelly, Tiffany Mynx, Joe Silvera, Chad Thomas, Nick East, Serenity, Misty Rain, Kylie Ireland, Mitchell Gant, Missy Felecia, Sid Deuce, T.T. Boy, Beverly (I), Kim Kataine, Caressa Savage
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Exactly why the strippers at T.T. Boy's "West Sweden Strip-O-Rama" should have to adopt cheerleader outfits and lead an on-stage cheer is never made clear. But if that's the only thing you don't get among the myriad to the myriad Holliday-isms here, count yourself lucky.
Or course, hopefully you got this tape to see a lot of the gorgeous Serenity doing what she does best: stripping and dancing on stage. Who else in this biz could do a split so her pussy lands right on a dildo affixed to the stage, then bounce on it a few times for effect? Since we don't have a solo sex scene category for women, call this a pre-nom for Best Tease Performance. The flaxen-haired beauty then insert a vibrator and goes about her dancing without the gadget once popping out, and later finger-fucks herself. Good stuff! Better, though, is when she selects a guy from the audience and sit on his face while he finger her snatch. Smokin'!
Also highly worth viewing is the Kylie Ireland/T.T. Boy bed doss, with its long cowgirl and reverse c.g. bounces. For a finale, she mounts Boy's peg while he's standing and hangs on for dear life. Misty Rain proves she's still got "it" in a hot fuck with Chad Thomas, including a rotation from cowgirl to reverse on his cock without ever letting the tool slip out. And let's not forget Sindee Coxx's horsie pounding from Boy, who also manages to slip a few fingers into her molten crevasse.
Look also for several good dance, strip and girl/girl interludes, all of which are too short to have the impact they easily could deliver. The best of those is the Missy/Jill Kelly pairing, though the Kim Kataine/Julie Rage match-up ain't exactly cold pizza either.
The tape's "to be continue," so there'll be lots more fun in the next volume, but don't let customers wait. This is hot stuff now!

How can I make the permalink structure on my posts include .html some of the time and nothing the rest of the time?
I'm importing a site from dreamweaver that also has wordpress on /blog.
The dreamweaver html site has html extensions and the wordpress blog doesn't.
I THINK I'd prefer to create everything as posts. BUT, the problem is that the make posts html plugin won't work.
I was looking at custom post types and taxonomies as a way to manage this but it literally made my brain hurt (seriously!).
Any suggestions?

Definition of pseudoextinction in English:
The apparent extinction of a group of organisms with the survival of modified descendant forms.
Example sentences
- The nature of mass extinctions in particular has been distorted by a combination of post-extinction sampling bias and associated pseudoextinction of paraphyletic groups.
- For the purpose of calculating community similarity, species that are part of possible phyletic sequences were synonymized to correct for pseudoextinction.
- The subsequent extinction of the family may be a pseudoextinction, because the Palaeoxanthopsidae may have given rise to many of the extant lineages comprising the Xanthoidea.

The Programme for Parents
The Lifestart Foundation is an all-Ireland charitable body offering high quality, evidence-based programmes for parents of children from birth up to age five years. Our core programme – the Growing Child – delivered within the home on a monthly basis, is proven to help parents be less stressed; strengthen the relationship between parent and child; and support parents in their understanding of how a young child develops and learns. By working with parents they can support their child as they grow and develop in areas such as good speech and language, problem solving, better self-esteem and of course, prepares the child for later success in school.
The Foundation's Head Office is based in Derry/L'derry, Northern Ireland with regional offices in the Republic of Ireland (Sligo), Macedonia and Zambia (Mazabuka). We currently support 10 franchisees to deliver the programme across Ireland, and collectively, are delivering the Lifestart programme to the parents of more than 13,000 children.

Previous studies suggest that non-human animals can discriminate two different artworks (such as music or paintings) that were created by humans. However, such studies rarely examined whether those animals were reinforced by one artwork more than another. It has been shown that music composed by humans has both discriminative and reinforcing properties when played for Java sparrows. Here, we investigated the effects of another artistic medium in Java sparrows, namely paintings. The first experiment tested the reinforcing properties. Staying time at three painting categories—Japanese, cubist, and impressionist—was measured as an index of their reinforcing properties. The second experiment used operant conditioning to reveal the discriminative properties of the different artistic styles of such paintings. Results suggest that the paintings have both discriminative and reinforcing properties for Java sparrows. However, the reinforcing properties vary from individual to individual. This is the first report demonstrating reinforcing properties of visual artworks in non-human animals.

7 reviews | 3.3 out of 5
I used this to wash my deck (approx 300 sq ft), a jungle gym, and a small slide set. It took me about 3 hours to wash them all, and the Karcher was fantastic. I did make one modification to the Karcher - the hose attachment is plastic and I had concerns about its reliability, so I've permanently attached a "quick connect" to it. The variable spray wand works well, and the zero nozzle is extremely powerful (you want to hold this at least 2-3 inches away from the deck). I haven't used the brush attachment yet. I didn't even need to use detergent to clean the deck, though I did try the detergent 'mix' setting on the variable spray wand and was satisfied with the results. Pros:
- Great value for money
- quiet operation - motor hums only when trigger is pressed
- good pressure and water flow
- extremely portable
- Karcher warranty/replacement program Cons:
- trigger needs a lock, your hand tends to pain if you've got to keep the trigger pressed and wave the wand for a few hours
- hose attachment is plastic and feels flimsy and needs to be made of brass, but workaround is to use a quick connect to minimize stress
- no cord reel
Echo the sentiments of the above poster. In my case, Karcher lasted all of two uses before gasket/manifold leak. Had product for 53 weeks......thus placing it outside the manufacturer warranty. Local Karcher service center wants $40 to 'look' at problem so as to provide estimate. Spent upwards of $200 on original product and will NEVER purchase Karcher again. If you are considering this product, please look elsewhere.
After 9 uses a crack developed in the pressure chamber and now water squirts from everywhere but the gun
I have read many negative reviews about this (and other) electric pressure washers, but I took a chance because I did not want to spend well over $200 for a gas pressure washer.
I have only owned this for a month, but my wife and I have used this on the car, house siding, cement pool deck, the kids outdoor toys and wood furniture. The results are so good that it is hard to stop. We keep looking for more to wash. It is very easy to use and as of now we have not had any problems.
It is plastic so I would suggest being very carefull especially where the hose connects. I recommend using a quick release for this.
At this point it gets 5 stars from me, but I am curious to see how it holds up.
This product quit working approximately 2 weeks after purchase. It was a gift for my Father's birthday and he used it a couple of times and then it quit working. This was very distressing!
I love this machine. It works for everything I have used around the house. I found the customer service to be excellent and they recommended two accessories for cleaning my deck that I wish would have been found here. Great machine Great price Great value. I returned the Campbell for this unit.
This is an awesome power washer. I have the same one at work and after using it for a week doing all sorts of jobs, I was hooked. This washer is great.

Photographs by Ruth Rosengarten and José Francisco Azevedo
by Ruth Rosengarten
José Francisco Azevedo lives in Portugal, Ruth Rosengarten lives in England. We didn't know each other before we were brought together for a two-person exhibition at the Artistas Unidos in Lisbon (15.11.2012 – 15.12.2012). Yet there are similarites in how we think of a photographic subject: we both seem to seek out the non-event, the opposite of 'the decisive moment' that famously distinguishes photography from other arts. These are photographs of in-between spaces.

About the Creator
Born in Israel, where I spent the first nine years of my life, I then lived in South Africa, London and Portugal, before settling again in England, where I now live and work. I completed a Fine Arts Degree at Wits University, Johannesburg, and both M.A. and Ph.D. in History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. I've exhibited and published variously. My studio practice of late has entailed drawing and photography, and in my writing over recent years, I have also been exploring aspects of drawing and photography, with special interest in memory, documentation and the archive.

Diabetes Health Center
Long-Acting Insulin May Help Control Blood Sugar
March 9, 2011 -- An experimental, ultra-long-acting insulin given just three times a week proved as effective as daily insulin for controlling blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, researchers say.
Results from phase II trials of the drug degludec, funded by its manufacturer Novo Nordisk, are published in The Lancet.
Type 2 diabetes patients in the study who took degludec by injection three times a week had similar reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as patients who got daily injections of the most widely prescribed long-acting insulin, Lantus (glargine), manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis.
But patients who took daily injections of the experimental insulin experienced the fewest episodes of potentially dangerous low blood sugar, known medically as hypoglycemia.
Study researcher Bernard Zinman, MDCM, of the University of Toronto, says the significant reduction in hypoglycemia seen among patients who took daily degludec injections suggests a clear advantage for the drug and dosing schedule.
"This 'proof of concept' phase II study showed that patients achieve good [blood sugar] control when degludec is given just three times a week," he tells WebMD. "But if you ask if I would recommend that it be used this way, my answer would be no. I think it should be used daily to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia."
Measuring Blood Sugar Levels
The phase II study included 245 type 2 diabetes patients with high blood sugar (HbA1c levels of between 7% and 11%), even though they were taking oral drugs to lower their blood sugar.
An HbA1c level of 7% or lower has been the traditional target for diabetes patients, but aggressive treatment to reduce levels to below 6% has been linked to an increased risk of death in people who also have risk factors for heart attack and stroke.
The patients were randomly assigned to receive the oral drug metformin and one of three treatment regimens: degludec insulin once a day, degludec three times a week, or Lantus once a day. The study lasted 16 weeks.
At the end of treatment, blood sugar levels were similar for all treatment groups, with HbA1c ranging from 7.2% to 7.5%.
Rates of hypoglycemia were low in all treatment groups, but they were lowest in the patients who took degludec once a day.
Just 5% of these patients experienced symptomatic episodes of low blood sugar, compared to 13% of patients who took degludec three times a week or glargine once a day.

"We've never really seen it on the street like we've seen cocaine and heroin," Riley said. He worries that if the estimated 180,000 members of street gangs in Chicago get involved in meth trafficking, violence could follow.
Like the U.S., Mexico has tightened laws and regulations on pseudoephedrine, though some labs still are able to obtain large amounts from China and India. To fill the void, cartel chemists have turned to an old recipe known as P2P that first appeared in the 1960s and 1970s in some parts of the western U.S.
That recipe uses the organic compound phenylacetone. Because of its use in meth, the U.S. government made it a controlled substance in 1980, essentially stopping that form of meth in the U.S. But in Mexico, the cartels can get phenylacetone from other countries, DEA experts said.
In the third quarter of 2011, 85 percent of lab samples taken from U.S. meth seizures came from the P2P process — up from 50 percent a little more than a year earlier, DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said.
Federal agents say the influx of meth from Mexico illustrates the difficulty of waging a two-front war on the drug in neighboring countries. When one source of the drug is dealt a setback, other suppliers step in to satisfy relentless demand.
Considering the relatively untapped market of bigger American cities, the rise of Mexican meth is not surprising, said Illinois State University criminologist Ralph Weisheit, a meth expert.
"It's something that was inevitable," Weisheit said. "This wasn't hard to predict."
American authorities are not the only ones taking notice. The sharp spike in meth activity also is evident from the other side of the border. Seizures of labs and chemicals have increased nearly 1,000 percent in the past two years.
Last year, Mexican authorities made two major busts in the quiet central state of Queretaro, seizing nearly 500 tons of precursor chemicals and 3.4 tons of pure meth with a street value of more than $100 million. In Sinaloa, investigators found a sophisticated underground lab equipped with an elevator and ventilation systems as well as cooking and sleeping facilities. The facility was reachable only by a nearly 100-foot tunnel with its opening concealed under a tractor shed.
And in February, soldiers in western Mexico made a historic seizure: 15 tons of pure methamphetamine, a haul that could have supplied 13 million doses worth more than $4 billion.
The meth problem is spilling into other parts of Latin America too. In December and January, Mexican authorities seized nearly 900 tons of precursor chemicals at Mexican ports, almost all of it bound for Guatemala, which seized about 1,600 tons of meth precursors in 2011 — four times the 400 tons seized there a year earlier.
For now, cocaine remains far and away the cartels' most profitable drug. The RAND Corp. estimates the annual street value of cocaine is about $30 billion, heroin about $20 billion and meth about $5 billion.
But cocaine is getting more expensive and less pure. According to the DEA, the price per pure gram of cocaine rose 59 percent from 2007 through September 2011. At the same time, the purity level dropped 25 percent.
Cocaine also typically comes from Colombia, meaning Mexican cartels serve as middle men who compete against each other to smuggle it into the U.S. That marginalizes their profits.
Because methamphetamine is a synthetic drug the cartels can make for themselves, the profit potential is enormous.
"It's not plant-based," Weisheit said. "It can be completely produced in Mexico. It's very compact, and that makes it easy to smuggle."

I was running Apache 2.2.21 (x64) and php 5.3.10 (x64) but I need to run the x32 versions so I can get ioncube to run. The support forums on the wamp website I can install any of the addons and it'll automatically install the x32 version. I did this, told wamp to run apache 2.2.9 and php 5.3.1. After selecting those versions, the yellow/orange wamp logo appears, but never turns green.
I'm not sure if there's something I have to enable/disable in the firewall or if there's some .ini editing that needs to happen, but I'm at a complete loss.
Anybody experience this before?
UPDATE 1: I closed WAMP from the task manager, re-opened it, and changed my version back to 2.2.21. WAMP green-lighted me. I then changed it back to 2.2.9 and get the yellow light. Why won't 2.2.9 work?

I only need the question to show up on my page, not the poll name, if possible. Can I hide the poll name on my page? (I tried deleting it from my saved poll, but it wouldn't let me save after I deleted its name.)
Also, how can I tighten the spacing between/line-height of the poll questions?
Thank you so much -- YOP is much easier to work with than the "other" poll option!!

Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA ) has announced its preliminary Q3 2013 results. The video game maker posted revenue of $922 million during the quarter, down from just over $1 billion in Q4 of the previous year. Net loss, however, narrowed over the same time frame. It was $45 million ($0.15 per diluted share) in this most recent quarter, an improvement over the $205 million ($0.62) of Q3 2012.
In spite of the revenue drop, on a trailing 12-month basis, top line outpaced the previous period. The 12 months ended last December 31 saw just under $4 billion in revenue, against $3.9 billion in the preceding period. Net is positive at $175 million, against the previous 12-months' loss of $173 million.
For its current quarter, EA said it is expecting $1.1 billion-$1.2 billion in net revenue, and positive EPS of $0.92-$1.12.

The transfer function of this system, G (s) is inherently unstable. With the proposed control structure, we want to stabilize the system and make the steady-state error due to a step in the entry is zero. Show that with a proportional controller of the form Gc(s)=K where K is the gain of an amplifier that can be adjusted, it is possible to stabilize the system, but may not achieve the steady-state error due to a step in the entry is zero. To resolve the problem in part (a), someone has proposed to use an integral controller of the form: Gc(s) = K/s Discuss whether or not it is possible to achieve the goal of making the steady- state error due to a step in the entry is zero with the proposed controller.

With the advent of Web 2.0, the Web is acting as a platform which enables end-user content generation. As a major type of social media in Web 2.0, Web forums facilitate intensive interactions among participants. International Jihadist groups often use Web forums to promote violence and distribute propaganda materials. These Dark Web forums are heterogeneous and widely distributed. Therefore, how to access and analyze the forum messages and interactions among participants is becoming an issue. This paper presents a general framework for Web forum data integration. Specifically, a Web-based knowledge portal, the Dark Web Forums Portal, is built based on the framework. The portal incorporates the data collected from different international Jihadist forums and provides several important analysis functions, including forum browsing and searching (in single forum and across multiple forums), forum statistics analysis, multilingual translation, and social network visualization. Preliminary results of our user study show that the Dark Web Forums Portal helps users locate information quickly and effectively. Users found the forum statistics analysis, multilingual translation, and social network visualization functions of the portal to be particularly valuable.

—To formulate an empirically derived model of empathic communication in medical interviews by describing the specific behaviors and patterns of interaction associated with verbal expressions of emotion.
—A descriptive, qualitative study of verbal exchanges using 11 transcripts and 12 videotapes of primary care office visits to a total of 21 physicians.
—An urban health maintenence organization (HMO), an urban university-based general medicine clinic, and an urban community hospital general medicine clinic.
Analytic Method.
—Individual review of transcripts by each research team member to identify instances of expressed or implied emotional themes and to observe the physicians' responses. Individual ratings were compared in group discussions to achieve consensus about the classifications. Similar consensus-based classification was used for review of videotapes.
—We observed that patients seldom verbalize their emotions directly and spontaneously, tending to offer clues instead. If invited to elaborate, patients may then express the emotional concern directly, and the physician may respond with an accurate and explicit acknowledgment. In most of the interviews, the physicians allowed both clues and direct expressions of affect to pass without acknowledgment, returning instead to the preceding topic, usually the diagnostic exploration of symptoms. With emotional expression so terminated, some patients attempted to raise the topic again, sometimes repeatedly and with escalating intensity. We noted a parallel dynamic for encounters in which patients sought praise. We summarized the full interactional sequence in a simple descriptive model.
—This empirically derived model of empathic communication has practical implications for clinicians and students who want to improve their communication and relationship skills. Based on our observations, the basic empathic skills seem to be recognizing when emotions may be present but not directly expressed, inviting exploration of these unexpressed feelings, and effectively acknowledging these feelings so the patient feels understood. The frequent lack of acknowledgment by physicians of both direct and indirect expressions of affect poses a threat to the patientphysician relationship and warrants further study.
