Crafts | Heart Button Pillow
Here's a lovely pillow you can whip up as a Valentine's Day gift for your sweetheart or as a bit of seasonal décor. I designed it with a simple envelope closure, so that it requires only basic sewing skills and equipment (no zipper!).
The bulk of the labor involves sewing the buttons, but once you get your fabric set up, it's easy to just pick it up and sew a few at a time in a spare moment. If you have any antique buttons on hand, this is a great way to display them.
Note that the following instructions are for a 12-inch pillow; feel free to adjust the measurements to create whatever size you like. Also, if you feel comfortable with sewing and you'd like to add welting, it looks great here; I think it gives the pillow a nice, finished look. For pillow inserts, check your local craft store, but if it doesn't carry them, you can easily find them at Etsy.com and other online shops.
Materials to Make a Heart Button Pillow
- 1/2 yard linen fabric
- fabric scissors
- small sheet of paper, any kind
- paper scissors
- fine-point erasable fabric marker, such as Dritz Mark-B-Gone
- embroidery hoop
- embroidery floss (color of your choice)
- embroidery needle, narrow enough to fit through your buttons' thread holes
- assorted buttons of your choice (I used approx. 150 vintage mother-of-pearl and shell buttons per pillow)
- sponge
- iron
- straight pins
- sewing machine & thread (color similar to fabric's)
- serger (optional)
- 12″x12″ down pillow insert
Instructions to Make a Heart Button Pillow
1. Cut 3 pieces of linen: one 12″x12″ for the front and two 12″x8″ pieces for the back. (I've limited the seam allowance because the cover should be just a bit smaller than the insert, making for a nicely plump pillow.)
2. Cut the paper into a heart shape small enough to fit the pillow cover. (Use the old trick of folding the paper in half, then cutting out a half-heart profile and unfolding it.)
3. Trace the heart onto the 12″x12″ fabric piece with your marker.
4. Stretch the marked fabric onto an embroidery hoop.
5. Cut a 36″ length of embroidery floss, thread it through the needle, and double it over, knotting the ends. (Using a double strand will let you attach the buttons with a single stitch.)
6. Begin by stitching buttons around the outside of the heart; then fill the center, arranging the buttons as close as possible to one another without overlapping.
7. With a slightly damp sponge, wipe the marker ink off the fabric.
8. Now put a finished edge on the back panels. Fold 3/8″ along the longer side of one 12″x8″ piece and press with your iron. Fold again to tuck away the cut edge; then press and stitch for a finished edge. Leave the other long edge raw. Repeat with the other 12″x8″ piece.
9. Assemble the pillow cover: Lay the 12″x12″ front piece on the table, button side up; then lay the 12″x8″ back pieces face down, so that the raw edges align with the outside edge of the front piece and the finished edges overlap in the center to create the envelope opening. Pin all around to hold.
10. Stitch all the way around the outside edge of the pillow cover, 1/2″ in. Snip the points off the corners.
11. Use a zigzag stitch or a serger along the outside edge to finish the seam.
12. Turn the cover right side out and stuff the pillow insert inside.

There has never been such a furore surrounding tactics at Manchester United. New manager Louis van Gaal arrived with a legacy of being a tactical genius but so far it has been a bit of a mess. After the disappointing opening at Swansea last week, United really needed to hit back at Sunderland. The abandonment of 3-5-2 at half time against Swansea was short lived, as it lasted the distance at Wearside, although the same cannot be said for the team. They were awful. Van Gaal's philosophy failed as there was absolutely no correlation between defence, midfield and attack. Confusion was rife among the defence and the team really have no idea how to protect the flanks without fixed full backs. In attack, the service was non-existent leaving the three most quality players isolated and frustrated. Knee jerk reactions are usually poor when analysing any team but it is difficult to see the current players adapting to this formation any time soon. Will Louis give it three months?
The root cause of a three man defence malfunctioning is when its personnel have never operated this way before. Change management might describe what is going on at United but so far there are very few signs of improvement. Jones, Smalling and Blackett never held a line throughout the game. They were dragged into midfield, across one another and into the flanks, primarily by the impressive Will Buckley. Smalling at the centre of the three could not marshal those beside him and the backline stank of nervousness. Any defensive set up that looks incapable of defending long diagonals is going to struggle and I really fear what will become off the current composition against relentless pressing sides such as Chelsea or Manchester City. Either new signings or a new system is needed.
Valencia's return to fitness saw him take up, along with Young, the wingback position. Any excitement in the wingback roles during preseason is now long gone, with Young looking hopeless and Valencia appearing lost. Defensively there exists massive confusion between the wing backs and the wider centre backs. No one seems to know who is marking the opposition wingers or even what area they should take up. Large gaps lay in United's flanks which teams expose with ease. Optimism can be taken from the fact that full backs, not wingers, make good wing backs so Rafael and Shaw could grasp the system. Offensively United's goal did come from Valencia but there was very little penetration otherwise. Young had a torrid evening with his tackling being as wayward as his crossing. Having virtually no take-ons from the wings, United played the game looking to pass backwards or hit a long ball forward. It made them notoriously easy to outmanoeuvre as they were void of creativity.
Strong powerful midfields are crucial to the success of Premier League teams. Driving runs from the centre create space for attacks to be launched and also close space to prevent counter attacks being sprung. At the Stadium of Light, Man United's central midfield was dominated by an extremely average player in Lee Cattermole. Tom Cleverely and Darren Fletcher did not have the energy or craft to have any impact on the game. United played in front of Sunderland for the vast majority of the match and only pushed up the pitch in the final ten minutes once Sunderland felt they had something to loose. The midfield failed the team by leaving the back exposed and the attack barren. For all the faults over the pitch, this is one area that cannot be revived by the current players as United do not have the type of player they need within the squad. Unless a strong box-to-box midfielder is brought in, performances will continue to suffer.
Witnessing Mata, Rooney and Van Persie standing waiting for service was as frustrating for spectators as it was for the players themselves. So much power at the top, yet the team failed to work the ball to their most dangerous men in good positions. Mata, like last week, was completely shut down as there was no threat from the flanks or midfielders with pace to concern the Sunderland midfield and defence. United were lifeless. Rooney was forced to drop deep in order to gain possession but this cluttered the midfield and left Van Persie even more isolated. The introduction of Welbeck helped as he stretched the game instead of dropping deep but it was not enough to facilitate a prolonged period of positive attacking pressure.
With the transfer window still open, van Gaal has a chance to bring in the type of players who can successfully operate under his philosophy. Di Maria looks to be joining the club which is a magnificent start to an important week. For me, the philosophy the manager constantly stresses is not the formation but a certain way of paying. It can be played in any formation of van Gaal's choosing so I expect the addition of Di Maria, and any subsequent players who follow, to be aimed at tinkering the 3-5-2 to hopefully a system that operates with four at the back. United's last two performances cannot be repeated and with the new team being built, the season re-starts at Turf Moor.
Excellent article.
Playing with wingbacks relies upon the two players to be versatile, strong, energetic and skilfull. They have a job to do at both ends of the pitch. Valencia and Young are not up to it.
You've got no fans, you've got no ground
and please don't come back with a comment about discipline, he did even make the top 20 "bad boys" of the premier league last season.
"extremely average player in Lee Cattermole"
Except Cattermole has now effectively dominated every midfield battle against the so called top players of the top clubs since the last 6 games of last season. With a 82% pass success last season, and 87% so far this season.
He is effective but average. He wont dominate against quality players such as Yaya or Matic. When a team who is supposed to be winning the league gets completely dominated by Cattermole, there are massive issues, regardless of his pass accuracy.
So you discount his performance against man City, Chelsea and Man U last season then? or did those teams not have top players in the midfield last season? How well did Man City do against Sunderland last season?
The entire point of a defensive midfielder is supposed to be effective at winning the ball and breaking up play. Not only does he do that, but he manages to pass to his own side 87% of the time after winning the ball. At what point does "effective" player get recognized as being above average or even excellent?
That article wasn't an attack on Cattermole, it was a passing comment on Cattermole in order to highlight how poor United's midfield is. Sunderland had a fantastic back end to the season last year, it kept them up and yes Cattermole played well but you can't use those 6 games to justify an average career which has saw him be an over aggressive player who has let his teams down with red cards regularly. Man United shouldn't be getting completely out done by Lee Cattermole, it isn't a very high standard to expect.
and please don't come back with a comment about discipline, he did even make the top 20 "bad boys" of the premier league last season
Ya Ya Toure "There are others, too. 'The one at Sunderland, what is he called?' he asked. 'Yes, (Lee) Cattermole, that's him. Very strong!'
Catts along with Rodwel and Larrson ran the midfield. You were playing into a brick wall. Fact.

Archival Access to Historical Sound Recordings via the Internet Using the Real Audio Data Reduction Concept-Possibilities and Limitations with Inherently Noisy Material
The Danish Ministry of Culture project provides historical Danish sound records on a World Wide Web (WWW) server. It was decided to use Real Audio as the codec. In particular, resonances inherent in acoustic pre-1925 records would seem to make this extreme data reduction questionable. The wisdom of using Real Audio is analyzed under various conditions. The results and a discussion are presented.

You know how, from the outside at least, there's always that friend who seems to be perfect, who seems to succeed at everything you can't pull off yourself?
That's how I feel about the Jewish community of Boston. Every time I go there, I'm struck by how well things appear to be run, how Boston actually does all these progressive things that other Jewish communities only talk about doing.
I don't know if it's the community's size (big but not too big), its cornucopia of prestigious academic institutions or what, but from my vantage point as a journalist, Jewish Boston always seems, in virtually every category except its newspaper (what Jewish publication could possibly compare to The New York Jewish Week?), to be an exemplar of excellence.
And that's across the life-cycle spectrum.
While New York's Jewish federation only recently began actively trying to reach out to young unaffiliated families, Boston boasts Welcome Baby, a free gift basket that goes out to new parents along with information about various free or inexpensive playgroups and programs.
Outreach to interfaith families? Boston's Jewish federation is one of the few to make it a budget priority.
Successful supplemental schools? The Kesher program, which is part after-school day care, part Hebrew school, part camp is frequently cited as a model in the field, yet few communities have successfully replicated it.
Adult education? Boston is the birthplace of Me'ah, an acclaimed course that is very similar to the Jewish Theological Seminary's new Context program.
Care for abandoned Jewish burial grounds? The Jewish Cemetery Association of Massachusetts has been doing that for 26 years, whereas the Community Association for Jewish At-Risk Cemeteries, a similar group in New York, is still in its infancy.
This week I got to visit another one of Boston's crown jewels: Mayyim Hayyim, the pluralistic community mikveh founded in part by best-selling author Anita Diamant.
Attending its Gathering The Waters International Mikveh Conference (I'll be writing more about it later), I was pleased to see that the beautifully appointed, spa-like ritual bath looks as nice in real life as it does on video.
More important than the aesthetic is the facility's warm, welcoming and nonjudgmental approach, with volunteer mikveh guides trained to be sensitive not just to the needs of men and women, liberal and Orthodox Jews, first-timers, converts, grieving Jews, joyous Jews and those about-to-be married (including lesbian and gay couples), but also to interfaith families.
In one of the four preparation rooms hung a beautiful framed photo and certificate of sorts that not only commemorated a family's conversion of their baby but that explicitly acknowledged that while the baby's non-Jewish mom is not herself converting, she plans to be supportive of and involved in the child's Jewish upbringing.
And while I extol Boston's seeming perfections did I mention that even the synagogue that hosted the conference was stunningly (yet tastefully) gorgeous, with huge windows letting in not just sunlight but a view of autumn foliage and spacious Hebrew school classrooms that rivaled the campus of a prep school?
I'll never move away from my beloved New York, which is, after all, the American Jewish Homeland, and I'm fond of the architecturally uninspiring (think 1950s ranch house) temple I recently joined.
Nonetheless, it all almost makes me want to support the Red Sox (which of course I, who hate sports, wouldn't do even if I lived in Boston).

Definition of chrominance in English:
noun[mass noun]
The colorimetric difference between a given colour in a television picture and a standard colour of equal luminance.
Example sentences
- This transform space allows luminance and chrominance to be processed separately.
- A sequence of passes separates the luminance and chrominance information from the composite video signal and demodulates the color carrier to separate out color information.

Developers' Favorite: RText in Version 1.0.0
The Java, cross-platform RText editor has achieved version 1.0.0. It recognizes numerous programming languages and otherwise preserves most of its usual features.
The first stable version of the RText Java editor is now available as version 1.0.0. The program provides syntax highlighting, does content auto-detection for filenames without extensions, processes multiple documents simultaneously and knows all the popular programming and scripting languages. Among them are C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, XML, HTML, PHP, Lisp and perl, but also Lua, Assembler, Groovy and Fortran.
RText resolves parentheses, records and plays macros, marks vital places in the code with bookmarks, recognizes shortcuts for code stubs, allows code shifting per drag-and-drop and supports various encodings.
New in version 1.0.0 is integrated syntax detection and highlighting support for Delphi, Scala and BBCode. The editor now also resolves ending tags in XML and file selection is available via breadcrumbs. Finally, bugs were resolved and the graphical interface was updated.
The new RText is under GPL, with optimum download from Sourceforge. After unpacking the software, start it using java -jar RText.jar, which requires Java.
Rtext vs. jEditHas any reader out there used both Rtext and jEdit? What does Rtext do that jEdit does not? What does it do differently?

The Secret Causes of Insomnia: What Every Woman Should Know About Sleep Problems
Whether you're living the sizzling life of a "Desperate Housewife" or you're a stay-at-home mom with four kids and a dog, there's a good chance you may be tired -- and with good reason.
When it comes to catching some zzz's, it seems women just aren't making the grade. From careers, to kids, to social and family events, life comes first, sleep comes last.
Recommended Related to Women
By Jessie Knadler You didn't see it coming. You didn't even feel it land — until a split second later when you suddenly realize you've had the wind knocked out of you. What just hit you? Someone's nasty comment, and it's cut you to the core. Sometimes a faultfinder disguises her disapproval as a quasi-compliment: "I would have never had the courage to talk to my boss the way you did." Other times, a jab takes the form of a cautionary tale: "You're going on a cruise? I still get nightmares...
Read the How to Silence Your Critics article > >
"Where you are in your lifestyle has an affect on how much sleep you get," says Mark Rosekind, PhD, a board member of the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
Throw biology into the mix -- like a woman's menstrual cycle -- and insomnia becomes even more common. Sleep problems can make it even harder to get the recommended 7.5 to 8 hours of shut-eye necessary to perform your best.
But you don't need to lose sleep over the fact that you're losing sleep! To understand insomnia, learn what's keeping you up at night. According to experts from the National Sleep Foundation, here are the most common reasons why you may be burning the candle at both ends.
Insomnia and Your Lifestyle
According to a "Sleep in America" poll released by the NSF in March 2007, if you're a single working woman you probably spend the least amount of time in bed -- sometimes fewer than six hours a night. And if you're like many women in the survey, you probably also wake up feeling tired at least a few days of every week.
One of the primary reasons you aren't sleeping? It could be something as simple as spending a bit too much time socializing with friends instead of hitting the sheets earlier in the evening. When this is the case, the solution involves a little self-discipline -- force yourself to hit the hay earlier a few nights a week, and you're likely to feel better overall, says Rosekind.
Stay-at-moms aren't much better off, however. The NSF survey found that three-quarters of the women in this category experience symptoms of insomnia. What's keeping moms up at night? It could be the kids -- worse, the dog -- bunking in with you. Or maybe it's a lack of quiet leisure activities to help you unwind at the end of the day. If your evening is spent primarily on chores or kids' activities, that could lead to sleep problems.

What was Jesus trying to tell His disciples and us when He gave the Parable of the Lost Coin?Once Lost, Now Found The old hymn Amazing Grace makes me think of the Parable of the Lost Coin because I was once hopelessly lost and it would take the supernatural work of God to find me because I was so blind and groping in the dark at one time.

Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (6 January 1946 – 7 July 2006) was an English musician, composer, singer, songwriter, and painter. Best known as a founder member of the band Pink Floyd, Barrett was the lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter i...n its early years and is credited with naming the band. Barrett was excluded from Pink Floyd in April 1968 after David Gilmour took over as their new frontman, and was briefly hospitalized amid speculation of mental illness.
Connect any celebrity with Syd Barrett to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
Unfortunately the excesses of Syd did destroy what once was a talent, and a gorgeous one at that. I have to agree with Duggie Field`s comment, this definitely applies to many beautiful ones .
He`s a really great,looking good,talented artist and he should be remembered forever,he invented psychedelic music and was an innovator from all points of view and he is a genius for sure!I think his story is the saddest of all times,RIP
Syd was a great musician and artist, I hope he`ll be remembered forever.

"Syd was a beautiful man who got away with a lot because he was beautiful." ~Duggie Fields~

Syd Barret.. such a talented, (so)handsome, (so)sexy, mysterious and brilliant man. It`s a shame what happened to him but he`ll always be the best rock artist no matter what. R.I.P Syd Barret.

Kevin M. Levin: Historians Need to Give Steven Spielberg a BreakRoundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
Kevin M. Levin is a Civil War historian based in Boston. He is the author of the book Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder and can be found online at Civil War Memory.
Historians are stakeholders in anything that attempts to represent the past. The vast majority of these stories pass us by innocently enough, but when the most popular Hollywood director makes a movie about Lincoln we watch and listen closely. We also feel a strong need to educate the general public and point out interpretive shortcomings in popular films.
Over the past few days I've read numerous reviews of Spielberg's Lincoln by professional historians, both in print and in my circle of social media friends. All of them are informative, even if they tend to reflect individual research agendas much more than the movie itself.
Beyond nitpicking specific moments such as the roll call in the House or whether Lincoln ever slapped Robert, my fellow historians have pointed out the lack of attention on women and abolitionists, as well as the free black community in Washington, D.C. Do any of these critiques help us to better understand the movie? No. They simply reinforce what we already know, which is that Hollywood will never make a movie that satisfies the demands of scholars. Nor should it....

Hello, is there a hack or workaround to make this work for comments as well? I would like subscribers to get email notifications of the comments as well as the posts.
There are already a couple of other "subscribe to comment" plugins. Subscribe2 does not duplicate their functionality.
Thanks for the reply. Do you think the two could be used in conjunction? I like Subscribe2 because it automatically subscribes selected users to all new posts. Would another plugin necessarily know who those subscribers are, and start sending them notifications on comments? It seems like you would have two parallel plugins that would have to be managed independently, adding and removing subscribers twice.
You can use the two plugins at the same time but I'm not sure that any comment subscription plugin is Subscribe2 aware.
In the databases in the background the subscriber details for the two plugins would be quite different. Using them across the two would be very complicated. It's probably better to keep them separate.
@publicradio, did you find a plugin to subscribe to ALL comments? I have a great need for subscriptions to comments only, but ALL comments and not only comments on a post they've viewed or commented on already.
OR if MattyRob has any suggestion, would be greatly indebted!
I can't think of any plugins that directly do this, what about the comments feed though? Could you use that?
There is a plugin called WP Comment Notifier For All that does this, supposedly. I wasn't able to get it to work, though.
Notifly is another plugin that subscribes emails to automatically receive notices on posts, and on comments. I have tried this plugin, and it works. It offers very little customization, though.
Thanks publicradio and mattyrob for your responses! I'm willing to pay for this plugin...any recommendations or ideas on what the costs would be?
@MattyRob, I could use the comment feed but it's ugly and not customizable. It also seems to have about a 24 hour delay in sending the notification. I'm not sure how to fix that?
I think Comment Notifier For All will work! What wasn't working for you, Publicradio?
You know what, Comment Notifier does work. However, I am trying to use it with Postie, and that doesn't seem to work. Postie will allow me to post messages and comments via email, but then, for some reason, Comment Notifier For All doesn't register these comments and send out an email. If I post comments in the normal way, though, it does work.
If anyone knows how to make Comment Notifier For All work with Postie, that would be excellent.

Let's get this party started
Since this senate thing is going on for a loooooooooong time now, we need to know if you're all alive.
So if you're name is on the list, say hi and thank all who voted for you. We can't have inactive senators, so let us show you're active.
here's the list:
Lord Tirion
Boba Rhett
Young David
Le'me start... I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me, you won't regret it. I will always be here ...
Let's get this party started !!!!
Just a little note to all the senate members.
I'll be watching the proceedings, and i will still get things said even if i can't actually post there, so expect messages from me.
That's the spirit Tie ... Maybe when someone drops out you will be in, but that's something that has to be discussed 'inside'.
Well, if Rommel doesn't return from his indignant exit, i suppose one Senate-seat is open.. I won't have one seat sit vacant all the while and then have a member come around after months.
Btw: YD, careful with the Toby Mac-references... The Senate is far from having 'momentum'... hehe..
"hi and thank all who voted for you"
There, I said it =P
Back on topic *glares at Leon for daring to go off the topic;) *
Thank you...all 20 of you...for voting DARTHFERGIE:)
*hand fires up*
I'm here, SIR!
I'll still participate in the senate, I just won't be doing much else here... :D
I am agree with TIE GUY. I will be watching this Senate very closely because you are the first generation of the Senate. It is you that will determine if the Senate will be ignored or not ignored. Your actions will determine the future of the Senate. So you will have more pressure than the other Senators in the future. I do have faith that this Senate will pass with flying color. Good luck guys!:)
hey warlord lets hope some people drop out and get your rightfull place on the sentate
Viva warlord :D
Besides, we've already voted, so if someone dropped out then the next person in line by votes would take the spot. Or, the senate members might choose a new senator themselves. It definately wouldn't be worth it to do another election that takes over 2 weeks to accomplish and is a big hassle.
that's the general idea and it's also why we went with about 15 people into a second voting round. This way we already have almost an entire back-up council if needed.
I do agree with you TIE GUY. IT would be a big hassle to hold another election. I whole heartly agree with the term limits. I hope you get in TIE GUY if Darth_Rommel does not agree to Leon Decree. I will issue a complaint in a couple of days if Rommel is no longer speaking on the forum and yet keeping the Senate seat warm. Captain Drake, it would be nice to think that the Senate seat is rightfully mine but I only have been here for like two weeks(look at my post! WHHEEEE! j/k). :D
He said he wants a week or so off...:(
Well Like you said...lets wait till the first meeting...
Almost a week has pass... I will issue a complaint within a day and a half. If he does not show signs of activities then he deserves to get off the Senate Seat and allow TIE GUY who is more active to serve.
AND why are sucking up to Dave? ;)
Uh...Rommel...I hope Tie Guy doesn't mind people using his name...You might want to edit that...
And Rom, i agree, i'd rather not be on senate and have you back then be on it with you gone. I'll reject any offer to the seat until you decline it, and i trust that everyone else who is marginally respectable will do the same. I'll make sure you have your seat when you return.
Good for you Tie Guy :)
I'm glad there is no bitterness there...:)
Although I don't have much authority here, I'd like to voice (well, type) my opinion here. I don't know why Rommel should be removed from the Senate because he won't post in the other forums. As long as he keeps track of the discussions being held there, he's ready to assume his responsibilities as a senator.
Just my 2 cents ;)

Kamikaze defending
seems to lead to our downfall every week.....if this isn't sorted soon we are going to have to be scoring 3 or 4 every week to win matches, and can someone tell me what's happened to Glen Johnson? No touch, no positioning and his pace is reduced to zero!
Some of our forward play is out of this world as typified by Shelveys goal, but there is at least 2 or 3 individual mistakes every game causing us to give stupid goals away. We need to increase the defensive drills in training Bren!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
loki...sorry mate have to disagree with u about our fw play. A lot of nice build up from midfield retaining possession well I will give u that but as usual NO CUTTING EDGE IN FRONT OF GOAL that is until Stevie and Louis came on then things changed but maybe we should against such a strong Udinese side have started with them ? Certainly for me Borini looked a complete waste of space.
Fair comment Loki. Mind you, we still arent getting much share of the luck that´s going. Udinese hardly threatened but when they did, we conceded whilst at the other end, Shelvey prevents Luis´shot going in and we pepper the goal with nil result - in fairness probably because their box was so crammed with red and white shirts, one could hardly see the posts! Build up too slow for a win against a good defensive side and we need to move the ball faster than we did last night to score those four goals whilst sorting out our poor defensive record.

I originally posted this over in 'Your WordPress' but it's really turned into more over a troubleshooting issue. Apologies for the repost. Anyway, here's the deal...
I've modified the Spirit theme to suit the needs of my site at:
but I'm now getting a weird problem when I click in the search box.
When I click in the search box in FireFox on a Mac, a rectangle of the background blots out the upper left corner of the layout (hard to describe, but obvious if it happens). See here for a screenshot:
But this doesn't seem happen in IE or Safari on the Mac, nor does it seem to happen in FireFox or IE on Windows (according to others -- I don't have a Windows machine to try out).
With regard to the cause of this glitch, I've isolated the presence of the Google AdSense code in the right sidebar as the culprit, but I can't figure out how/why it's happening or what to do to fix it. The page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Perhaps the most efficient thing would be to ignore the problem since it's isolated to FF on Macs, which is a relatively small portion of the world. However, *I* use FireFox on a Mac, and it's driving me nuts!
Please help!

Anchor House Family Assistance Center is seeking new and additional community support to help its food pantry earn a $35,000 grant from a foundation.
Every dollar or pound of food donated or pledged in March and April could help Anchor House receive up to $35,000 in the Feinstein Challenge.
Churches, schools, civic groups and others who want to help should submit a letter with their donation that says it was made in response to the Feinstein Challenge when making their donations to Anchor House.

Wahoo's kicked out of Fashion Island spot
12/15 update
I knew something fishy was going on at the upper level Fashion Island food court when we reported last week that Red Robin was closing.
A year ago, McDonald's shut down in the food court near the movie theater, and the Irvine Co. has yet to replace it.� After Red Robin leaves at the end of the month,� Subway and Wahoo's Fish Taco will be the only eateries left upstairs.
But that is expected to change. Wahoo's Fish Taco co-owner Wing Lam said the Irvine Co., owner of the mall, has asked him to vacate his space to make room for an expansion of the movie theater.
"I am moving out in March," Lam said. "We're disappointed."
While officials at McDonald's and Red Robin said the Fashion Island locations didn't generate enough revenue to justify keeping the stores open, Lam said Wahoo's makes money.� A majority of his customers are employees who work at the center.
Lam said his lease allows him to move to another mall space. Wahoo's is slated to relocate to the lower level food area at Atrium Court near Dick's Sporting Goods, he said.
When asked for more details about the Wahoo's move and proposed movie theater changes, an Irvine Co. representative declined to comment. (12/15 Update:� OCR's Jon Lansner reveals more about the movie theater changes. Fashion Island will close� them Jan. 12)
Since undergoing a multi-million dollar remodel last year, the 43-year-old mall has seen many restaurant concepts come and go.� Blue Coral Seafood closed last year and was replaced this summer by� True Food Kitchen.� French 75, part of a string of failed David Wilhelm restaurants, was rebranded to Brasserie Pascal by its new owners.
In June, Rustica replaced longtime favorite Francoli near the new Nordstrom store.� � Pain du Monde recently relocated to the Neiman Marcus-Bloomingdale's Courtyard near Cafe R&D. Last week, the Irvine Co. said Hana Grill and Stone Oven are new food shops coming to the Atrium food court.
Though he'll be surrounded by other fast-casual restaurants, Lam said the lower level food court is not ideal for Wahoo's. He doesn't expect to make as much money down there, he said.
"But, at the same time, we're happy to stay at Fashion Island."

By Tommy Hicks, Press-Register
MOBILE, Alabama -- There is a question that seems to constantly be asked around the Troy football team, by coaches, players and fans alike. It would not be stretching the truth to suggest the same question is asked around coaches meetings for opposing teams as well.
"How is Kanorris feeling?''
The health of senior linebacker Kanorris Davis is of key concern to all those parties. The 5-foot-10, 203-pounder from Perry, Ga., is a defensive playmaker and usually has an impact on the game for the Trojans. Having had surgery on his ankle, an ankle that still gives him trouble at times, everyone wants to know how Davis is feeling and, more importantly, if he will be able to play for Troy each game.

Intertemporal Choice and Inequality
We show that standard models of intertemporal choice, including the permanent income hypothesis, imply that for any given cohort of people born at the same time, inequality in both consumption and income will grow with age. At any given date, each individual's consumption depends on the integral of unanticipated earnings shocks up to that date, so that consumption becomes more dispersed with time. If earnings are not themselves similarly dispersing, assets will do so, so that the dispersion of total income will increase, irrespective of the behavior of earnings. Because the result applies to an increase in inequality over time within a given age cohort, it has no immediate implications for the behavior of inequality in the economy as a whole, and is consistent with constant aggregate inequality over time. Cohort data are constructed from 11 years of household survey data from the U.S., 22 years from Great Britain, and 14 years from Taiwan. They show that within-cohort consumption and income inequality does indeed grow with age in all three economies, and that the rate of increase is broadly similar in all three.

An appeals court has ruled against a North Dakota man convicted in a child pornography case.
A jury in October 2011 found Scott Boyle, of West Fargo, guilty on charges of sexual exploitation of minors and possession of pornography. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors say that between 2006 and 2010, Boyle videotaped two underage girls in a bathtub and while they were playing naked in a bedroom in Boyle's home.
Boyle argued in his appeal that the jury was not given proper instructions, the evidence did not support the charges, and the tapes did not show sexually explicit conduct.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Boyle's request for acquittal or a new trial.

"Captain Nintendo" - The Original Short Story Published In Nintendo Power
The history of Captain N is a convoluted one, despite its brief network run; while earning respectable ratings, the show was partnered with an animated Super Mario Brothers cartoon (which aired as Captain N and The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3) before being edited down to a supporting role in its own series and finally giving up the ghost in 1991. Due to its varying lengths and formats, the episodes contained here are only from the first and second season (and for the latter, the Super Mario Brothers portions have been removed). Nothing from the truncated, seven-episode Season 3 is included, which may be a stumbling block for dedicated fans. Extras are somewhat limited as well; thumbnail bios for each of the main characters are spread across the four discs, but little is given about their creation and development in the series. Similarly, the "Exploring Videoland" interactive featurette is a simple gallery of images from the various locations within Videoland. More interesting to the hardcore devotee will be the original cartoon from Nintendo Power magazine that provided the inspiration for the series, which rounds out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita

NYC official: Hoffman died from toxic mix of drugs
NEW YORK Philip Seymour Hoffman died from taking a combination of heroin, cocaine and other drugs, the New York City medical examiner ruled Friday, a toxic mix that addiction specialists say is not uncommon in the tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the U.S. each year.
Hoffman, 46, who was found Feb. 2 with a needle in his arm on the floor of his Manhattan apartment, also had taken amphetamines and benzodiazepines, which are drugs such as Xanax and Valium that are widely prescribed for anxiety, trouble sleeping and other problems, said a spokeswoman for the medical examiner. The death was ruled accidental. The medical examiner didnt provide the names of the drugs or the amounts found in Hoffmans system, making it impossible to determine which drug was the major factor, said Dr. Charles McKay, a medical toxicologist for Hartford Hospital in Connecticut and a spokesman for the American College of Medical Toxicology.
Theres a difference between a stimulant death, which would be cocaine and the amphetamines, and a narcotic death, like heroin, he said.
The first two can cause heart rhythm problems, a stroke or heart attack, whereas heroin, especially with sedatives such as benzodiazepines, can depress breathing.
In any case, McKay said, the combination of drugs suggests someone who has been using drugs repetitively.
Police had been investigating Hoffmans death as a suspected drug overdose. Tests found heroin in samples from at least 50 packets in his Manhattan apartment. Authorities also found unused syringes, a charred spoon and various prescription medications, including a drug used to treat heroin addiction, a blood-pressure medication and a muscle relaxant.MORE IN Wire NewsPARIS More horrifying details emerged Wednesday about an attack on a French village church even...

Otago University scientists have edged closer to new
therapies to enhance the body's immune response to cancer.
The researchers have uncovered a pathway that alters the
immune response in the spleen and lymph system when faced
with cancerous tumour cells.
The research, just published in American haematology journal
Blood, has identified the pathway, or mechanism used
when cells remove unwanted material in lipid-bound particles
called exosomes.
Exosomes are only 1/10,000 of a millimetre in diameter but
are important in immunity as they contain proteins that can
enhance or suppress the immune response against cancer and
have recently been exploited as cancer vaccines.
They have also been implicated in autoimmune diseases.
Lead researcher Associate Professor Alex McLellan, from
Otago's Department of Microbiology and Immunology, said
although the existence of exosomes had been known since the
early 1970s, the fate of the released exosomes in the lymph
system or blood was poorly understood until now.
"We have discovered how exosomes are removed from circulation
or lymph fluid and taken up by the immune system, and how
this uptake system suppresses the immune response to these
circulating particles," he said.
"In a normally functioning body this works in our favour to
prevent autoimmunity, but when cancerous cells are involved
you want to block this pathway to make the immune system more
"Although exosomes are normally removed from circulation
within minutes, we were able to induce strong immune
responses to the exosomes by blocking this uptake system."
The study also was the first to record a circulation half
life for exosomes.
Associate Professor McLellan, doctoral student Sarah
Saunderson and colleagues found that the newly discovered
mechanism uses a receptor called CD169 or sialoadhesin that
was expressed on the lymph node or spleen that recognised
sugars (sialic acids) present on the surface of the exosomes.
In the absence of this uptake mechanism, immune responses
were significantly enhanced in the spleen and lymph nodes.
"This suggests that when vesicle-uptake is working normally,
inappropriate immune responses against self-tissues are
prevented," Associate Professor McLellan said.
"Since tumours are also self-tissue the next application is
to design small molecule inhibitors to block this pathway to
enhance the body's immune response to cancer.
"The work has identified a new pathway of intercellular
communication, a process that has involved seven years of
work in the laboratory, and that has the potential to inform
clinical developments in the fields of autoimmunity and
tumour immunotherapy.
"This is relevant to all types of cancer that can be
recognised by the immune system, including melanoma, and also
autoimmune disorders."
The study was conducted with assistance from the Marsden Fund
and also University of Otago grants.

This plugin from the Plugin Directory is malicious:
(The malicious version is different than the real version of "Contact Form 7" at <http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/>, but unfortunately the malicious version comes up before the real version when searching for "Contact Form" in the Plugin Directory.)
When you activate the malicious one, it sends an e-mail message to "firstname.lastname@example.com". That message contains a link to "/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-73/settings.php?wpcf7=1" on the blog where the plugin is installed. That script sets an admin-level cookie that gives the attacker full administrator access to the site.
That plugin should be removed from the Plugin Directory ASAP.
Some searching suggests this upload is a response to <http://www.maxence-blog.fr/2011/06/04/pirater-un-blog-wordpress-une-securite-dejouee/>, which is basically a post saying "hey, look, the WordPress people don't check for malicious uploads to the plugin directory, so it's easy to hack people's blogs this way".
This is alarming. If nothing else, the plugin directory should perhaps do some rudimentary sorting by download count, so that the real version of a plugin (downloaded 4 million times) appears in the results before a hacked version (downloaded a couple of thousand times) when the given name of the plugin is the same.

Former Polk County School Board Member Criticizes Incumbent, Who Defends Record
Published: Sunday, August 17, 2014 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
LAKELAND | An incumbent and a man seeking to return to the School Board after 16 years are vying for the District 3 spot on the Polk County School Board.
Hazel Sellers, 62, who is running for her fourth term on the School Board, and Randy Wilkinson, 61, who served from 1994 to 1998, are facing off in the Aug. 26 nonpartisan election for the southwest district that includes Mul�berry, Fort Meade and part of Bartow. All voters registered in Polk are eligible to vote in the race.
Wilkinson said that having two daughters in school and seeing the achievement and discipline problems in the classroom inspired him to run again.
"I would say there are three or four basic issues, and the plummeting achievement is No. 1 amongst those issues, and it relates to several causes," he said.
He has emphasized three issues in his campaign: discipline in the classroom, discipline in budgeting, and discipline in direction.
Wilkinson said he thinks schools need to follow through with student discipline and should make more use of in-school suspension programs rather than out-of-school suspension.
He also said he thinks direction is part of why school grades have suffered.
"Some of the decisions the board made, I don't believe gave proper direction to the superintendent," he said. "I've felt the board is pretty much a rubber stamp."
He did praise Superintendent Kathryn LeRoy, saying she brought worthy goals and great ideas to the district, but said he thinks they would been more effective if she hadn't filled new upper-level positions with people she knew from her previous job in Duval County.
As for the budget, Wilkinson said he is against the idea of raising taxes and thinks the School Board was wrong to bond out revenue from the half-cent sales tax that supports school construction.
"I know he talks about me wanting to raise taxes," Sellers said. "I can't raise taxes."
The state sets the property tax rate for the School District.
Sellers said she does stand by the bonding because it allowed the School District to start quickly on a list of much-needed projects.
The district still has many challenges, she said, but she thinks it's on the right track.
"I believe it's going to be hard work, but we're focused," she said.
Sellers said she is particularly excited about Alignment Polk, an initiative the School District is pursuing with Polk Vision to increase community involvement with and support of the public education system.
The School Board has been researching the project, modeled after Alignment Nashville, for a few years. She hopes it will give the School District more resources to help students who live in poverty to get a high-quality education.
Sellers agrees that academic achievement is a primary concern. "I think my focus is on a plan for increasing the academic achievement," she said. "He (Wilkinson) talks about things, but there are no plans, and I can tell you in detail about plans."
Wilkinson said he would like to start a curriculum task force to develop a plan, like the one he participated in when he was on the board.
"Hazel said she's focused on the real issues, but if that's true, why have the achievement levels dropped so much?" he said.
According to the most recent financial reports, Sellers has raised $18,790, while Wilkinson has raised $6,869.
School Board members serve four-year terms and receive an annual salary of $40,135.
While the seven board members must each live in the district they represent, they are elected by a countywide vote.
