I have created simple pages with children (not custom posts) and I would like to find a way to limit a single user to only be able to edit a particular "section" (the parent and its children).
Role Scoper plugin is far, far too complex for what I need to do; I've literally spent HOURS on it and can't get it to do a single thing.
I have used a few other plugins but they just give access to all the DEFAULT permissions, don't allow you to create new permissions - like limiting page editing to a page id/tree etc.
Can someone show or point me to a custom solution for this? I am fine with putting some custom code in the functions.php or whatever. I already have the roles created; just need assign the certain limitation/capabilities to them. I am fine using this solution in conjuction with a simple plugin (like the Capabilities plugin, which is nice for adding/disabling base permissions on the default roles).
Can anybody help, or point me to a tutorial that explains how this all works?

The morning news... At 2:04 PM...
Well, I think we can cut an unpaid intern some slack on the Sunday of a Pride weekend.
You know what a great pride present be? The presidential candidates standing up without appologies for gays and lesbians. Until they do I just can not see giving any of them much support or money.
Appears to be the Bellevue School District that's gone homo-curriculum, not Seattle. Or at least not yet.
The Dan Savage/George Bush war on the people in Iraq continues. More suffering, more destruction, more maimed bodies, more dead children, women and men, soldier and civilian. Ahhhhhhhhh, Dan Savage will tell you, but what a glorious war it is. Freedom is on the march. We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight 'em over here. Dan has blood on his hands as much as the most die-hard evangelical supporter of George W. bush does.
@5: Your rant is amateurish, contorted, stupid, and above all BORING!
@6, I second your motion!!!!
6 & 7 GO FUCK YOURSELF!People are being maimed and killed and Dan Savage, America's favorite cocksucker, helped Bush make it happen and you find it boring!
This isn't about Iraq, LIG, because a lot of good people and Democrats supported removing Saddam. That includes Hillary, John Kerry, Al Gore, Maria Cantwell and others. Positions change as facts come to light.
No, this is about that you are jealous of Dan Savage and thought you found an angle to elevate yourself and have folks marvel over your revelations which is really nothing more that warped hyperbole.
You know, Abraham Lincoln was at first not for freeing the slaves, he initially just wanted to stop the expansions of slavery. Why arent you ranting against him? It makes just as much sense, from your flawed perspective.

Posted on 10/03/2006 8:06:52 AM PDT by Jeff Head
CVN-77 to be Christened on October 7th, 2006
From the Northrop Grumman site.
On Saturday, October 7, 2006, Northrop Grumman Newport News will christen the nations 10th and final Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, George H. W. Bush (CVN 77). The ships namesake and 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, is scheduled to attend the ceremony along with his wife Barbara and their daughter, Doro Bush Koch, Mrs. Koch also serves as the ships sponsor and will do the traditional honor of breaking a bottle of American sparkling wine across the ships bow during the ceremony. Employees of Northrop Grumman Newport News and their families are invited. The general public is also invited to the ceremony. Visit the links below for additional information.Here are some of the latest construction pictures...a beautiful site to behold:

Great Ship. Still a shame to this day, that Bush 41 did not get a second term IMO.
Thank you for starting this thread.
Old Sea Dog
Indeed, how things might have been different.
When does construction begin on the USS Clinton?
Le Corbusier counted ship building as architecture just as much as buildings sitting on dry ground. He prized functionality, and this is total functionality.
Thanks, Jeff! I hope they show this on Fox. I love the ceremonies surrounding the christening of a ship, and this one has sentimental value for many of us.
So Ole Slick doesn't get a Nimitz named for him?
Is the Reagan also Nimitz Class?
Says it all!
They finished that garbage barge during his presidency.
Thanks Jeff ~ Go Navy!!
I can still remember the ceremony when the USS Ronald Reagan was brought to life and watching all those sailors go running onto the USS Reagan to take their positions.
Thanks Jeff ~ Go Navy!!
Yes! and well deserved I might add.
After Mr. Peanut got a Seawolf sub named after him, I realized, sadly, that Clinton will probably get some sort of namesake. I hope it's a garbage barge.
Nope...he got a gatbage barge, commissioned on his last day in office.
I hope it's a floating VD and sexually transmitted disease treatment ship.
No, here is Clinton's ship:
Amen...GO NAVY!
When the next Democrat becomes president. CVN-78 or 79.
Ironic, isn't it? Bush 41 is the one who started the big downward slide in defense spending, IIRC. For giving national defense the finger, he gets a carrier named after him.
It's funny -- the pictures don't really give an idea of the size of this thing, until you find something to give it scale. For example, there's an 8-foot stepladder in the bottom pic, at the bottom of the bow.... That ship is f****ing huge!
Sorry for the double post, Jeff. ;)
Go Navy!!
I would love to go to that. I served on two of those, Nimitz and Eisenhower. Did an overhaul period in Newport News on Ike, where I got to walk underneath the ship while in drydock.
They are huge!!!!
BTW, I also did a tour on the JFK during my 20 year Navy career.
That is not an 8' ladder. It is much taller. Check out the scaffolding behind it or the JLG in front of it. I suspect it is more like a 10 or 12 foot ladder.
...believe it or not, there is such a thing for
Mr. Slick Willie...... the classification for
such as you mention, if I recall my Navy days,
is a "YGN" which stands for "Y" - utility vessel;
"G" - garbabe barge; "N" - non-self-propelled.....!!
a perfect vessel to be name after the former
Liar-in-Chief..... free cigars and blue dresses to
be given away at its commissioning.....
She commissions in 2008. Just in time to replace the Kennedy and the Kittyhawk
There used to be a great cartoon version on FR about the USS Clinton; it was like this ridiculous looking rubber raft....anybody have it?
Excellent news. Jeff, how is the next carrier class(I think the CVX?) going to be differant than the nimitz class?
Perhaps. There's 7 steps, including the top -- which is typically an 8-footer.
Jeff, I saved a copy of that poster on my computer. 90,000 tons of diplomacy says it all.
It's indefinite.
We don't need another garbage scow just now.
I wish they would hang that "Mission Accomplished" banner on the front of it and keep it there for good.
For whatever complaints one might have against him, I think at the very, very least, GW did accomplish the significant mission of getting us to start fighting back in a war that was declared against us a long time ago -- a very serious war that claimed the lives of a lot of innocent people and brave US soldiers, even before 9/11.
To wit; how long before the ACLU sues the gubmint to stop the "Christening" of ships and boats. You know darn well that sooner or later they'll dig up some Atheist, Jewish or Wiccan sailor who will 'feel offended' that he has to serve on a ship that was "Christened".
(Bet its sooner than later)
However, he was a good wartime president and did lead the nation trough Desert Storm and the fruit of Reagan's work in the fall of the Soviets (which in part was a result of Reagan building the 600 ship navy).
Can't they just name all our aircraft carriers after Ronald Reagan?
Discovery Channel HD has an episode of Extreme Engineering featuring this carrier. I just saw it last week.
God bless you, and thank you for that service. You should speak to Freeper CVA66snipe. You guys could probably sit for hours and trade stories...with that experience of yours, and the same that his FR name emplys, hehehe, I KNOW you could.
Well yes, but that was right after the fall of the Soviet Union. The long range plan then called for much lower levels of cuts than Slick 42 eventually put in, and that Bush 43 never reversed by building things back up, aside from a small increase in the Army, balanced by further cuts in the Air Force and Navy.
I think the Kennedy will go first. In the state she is in...she should IMHO. The Japanese shipyards have taken good care of the KH!
Great post, beautiful ship, but I hate seeing the German dock crane.
Every U.S. Navy ship has several USS Clinton's aboard.
They are called "heads".
Now that would be a fitting ship to name for him. A US Navy Hostpital ship.

DROWNING causes almost 9000 deaths in the United States each year out of an estimated 80 000 near-drowning incidents.1 Males between the ages of 10 and 19 years are the most common victims. Fortunately, only about one of every nine or ten underwater submersion accidents results in death. When death occurs, the term "drowning" is applied. "Near-drowning" is the term used when there is at least temporary survival from suffocation by submersion.2
The usual sequence of events in the animal model of drowning is initial breath holding followed by the swallowing of large amounts of water, vomiting, terminal gasping with flooding of the lungs, and death.3 Animal models of near-drowning in the laboratory do not precisely mimic human drowning in natural waters.4-6 This must be taken into account when extrapolating results of animal research to clinical resuscitation. Less hemodilution is noted in humans than in animals,

JPMorgan Is Lehman's Next Deep-Pocket Target After Barclays
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., whose $11 billion suit against Barclays Plc is drawing to a close, is going after JPMorgan Chase & Co. as the next deep pocket to pay creditors in the biggest U.S. bankruptcy.
Lehman sued JPMorgan for $8.6 billion in collateral and tens of billions in damages, claiming the bank and Chairman James Dimon helped cause its collapse. The second-biggest U.S. bank twice asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit. It said it was protected by a law governing the $467 trillion market for swaps and repurchase agreements when it lent Lehman's failing brokerage $100 billion a day during the 2008 financial crisis.
JPMorgan's defense hinges on so-called "safe harbor" laws, which allow clearing banks handling securities trades to take collateral from dealers without getting sued if a bankruptcy occurs later. Debtors can undo some transfers of assets done close to a bankruptcy filing. Banks invoke safe-harbor laws to oppose return of the money.
"Lehman has some viable claims here, so the real question is going to be the scope of the safe-harbor provisions," said Stephen Lubben, a bankruptcy professor at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, New Jersey.
JPMorgan, based in New York, has argued in court papers that safe-harbor laws "present an insurmountable legal obstacle to Lehman's lawsuit." Losing that argument may hurt confidence in the market for swaps, repos and securities contracts, lawyers said.
A victory for Lehman would help its creditors, who the company has said stand to get an average of 15.8 cents on the dollar without any contribution from JPMorgan, which last month reported third-quarter net income of $4.42 billion.
'Chain Reaction'
Without safe harbors, Lehman's bankruptcy might have brought down other firms in a "chain reaction" as banks stopped lending to them, JPMorgan told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James M. Peck in Manhattan in an Oct. 19 request to have the case dismissed. Lehman hasn't filed a written response yet.
In Lehman's favor is an attitude among bankruptcy judges that "all creditors should be equal in bankruptcy, but the safe harbor says some have advantages," said Guy Dempsey, a lawyer in New York with Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP who specializes in derivatives and bank regulation.
Some judges think safe-harbor laws are clear, and they leave it alone, he said. "Others conclude the law is not clear so they need to interpret and modify it," he said.
Peck, who handles Lehman's bankruptcy, has at least twice ruled against Lehman creditors who asserted that their rights trump safe-harbor laws. Metavante Corp. and Swedbank AB appealed his rulings in a higher court. Metavante later decided to settle with Lehman; Swedbank's appeal is ongoing.
2011 Trial
JPMorgan spokesman Joseph Evangelisti declined to comment, as did Peck, through his assistant Lynda Calderon. Peck may rule on the Barclays case in January or February and hold hearings on the suit against JPMorgan next year, said lawyers in the two cases.
Dimon promised former Lehman Chairman Richard Fuld he would return collateral a day before Lehman's bankruptcy filing, and didn't do so, Lehman said in a September filing. Earlier, it accused JPMorgan of using its "life and death power" as clearing bank to the brokerage "to siphon billions of dollars in critically needed assets."
Lehman hasn't proved Dimon promised anything, JPMorgan said in a filing.
Swaps trades, protected by safe harbor, total $467 trillion globally, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, or ISDA, estimates. The figure doesn't show how much money is at risk because many trades offset each other. Daily loans in the so-called tri-party repo market where JPMorgan lent money to Lehman were $2.8 trillion in 2008, according to the bank.
Split Argument
JPMorgan says all of its dealings with Lehman and its brokerage were governed by safe harbors. Peck might say the bank can't be sued for taking collateral from Lehman's brokerage to support its trades, and that it can be sued for taking assets from the Lehman holding company, Lubben said.
Arguably, taking collateral from the brokerage's parent wasn't directly related to repo trades, so it wasn't protected by safe harbor, he said.
Lehman, once the fourth-largest investment bank with assets of $639 billion, foundered on Sept. 15, 2008, because of risky real estate bets and too much debt, including repos that it tried to hide from investors, according to bankruptcy examiner Anton Valukas's report.
Lehman might have grounds to sue JPMorgan, he said. The suit is scheduled to be tried by Peck in 2012.
The bankruptcy case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The adversary case is Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, 10-03266, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

The theoretical costs of ignoring childhood: rethinking independence, insecurity, and inequality

Childhood scholars have found that age inequality can be as profound an axis of meaningful difference as race, gender, or class, and yet the impact of this understanding has not permeated the discipline of sociology as a whole. This is one particularly stark example of the central argument of this article: despite decades of empirical and theoretical work by scholars in "the social studies of childhood," sociologists in general have not incorporated the central contributions of this subfield: that children are active social agents (not passive), knowing actors strategizing within their constraints (not innocent), with their capacities and challenges shaped by their contexts (not universally the same). I contend that mainstream sociology's relative imperviousness has led to theoretical costs for both childhood scholars—who must re-assert and re-prove the core insights of the field—and sociologists in general. Using three core theoretical debates in the larger discipline—about independence, insecurity, and inequality—I argue that children's perspectives can help scholars ask new questions, render the invisible visible, and break through theoretical logjams. Thus would further research utilizing children's perspectives and the dynamics of age extend the explanatory power of social theory.

Walter De Maria's 360° I Ching/64 Sculptures (1981) consists of 576 white-lacquered wood rods arranged into 64 groups of 6 parallel rows. Each row features either one long or two short rods, which are placed in a pattern determined by the sixty-four hexagrams of I Ching, an ancient Chinese book of philosophy and divination. Drawing on the binary system of the yin and yang, this ancient book acts as a guide for individuals to navigate the world and understand their daily experience of it. In the simplest sense, users randomly select two trigrams—unique combinations of three solid and/or broken lines (yin and yang)—that represent various natural elements. When two chosen trigrams merge, they form a complex and symbolically resonant hexagram.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, I Ching was a popular tool for artists interested in chance, in large part thanks to John Cage's early experiments that used the book to determine aleatory compositional arrangements. De Maria had close ties to Cage's circle. In 360° I Ching/64 Sculptures he carefully mapped each of the possible hexagrams of I Ching in order to make visible the underlying mathematical structure behind the book's chance operations. 360° I Ching/64 Sculptures demonstrates a clear system of permutations, exhausting all of the possible ordered arrangements. That is, the sixty-four hexagrams represent every combination of three solid and/or broken lines paired with another three solid and/or broken lines.
De Maria used measurement and number as compositional principles throughout his career. In particular, he subversively deployed numerical systems in ways that emphasize the limits of visual perception. His Gold Meters (1976–77) and Silver Meters (1976), for example, confound the seemingly optical correlation between an increase in size and a corresponding increase in weight. In 360° I Ching/64 Sculptures the hexagrams are placed directly on the floor and seen from various angles in the round, as the title of the work suggests. As a result, the rods at times relinquish their iconographic meaning and become purely sculptural.
360° I Ching/64 Sculptures was commissioned by Dia Art Foundation in 1981. The concept of placing the rods on a bright red carpet was envisioned by De Maria in 1990. This is the rst public viewing of 360° I Ching/64 Sculptures in more than twenty-five years and the second installation with the red carpet.

This was easy and saved us a lot of time. We don't see the images in the Media Library but understand they are in a separate folder on the server now, which is fine.
I used it on Synology NAS sever to get my blogger.com images to my local nas server.
Seems to be the ONLY way today (Feb'2014) to export images from Google blogger.com sites...
A good reason to move the whole blog to wordpress!
Watch that for me the following entry in "Image host domains" was needed:
Note that I followed these german instructions
tnx again,
I downloaded and crossed my fingers and all 3000 photos imported into a Blogger folder. Score! Now to just get them to move to media....
Within 5 minutes (maybe less) I had over 1000 photos correctly attached to the posts and hosted on the correct server. Thank you so much!
Life saver! Thanks!!
Used on two wp sites. No problems.
Copies the blogger files into a subfolder in the media folder and retains the ugly blogger folder structure. But it does the job and cleaning up the blogger folder ugliness would be a lot to ask.
The images are imported into a blogger folder rather than the WP convention of <year>/<month> folder structure. Furthermore, the images did not show up in the Media section of the dashboard...
I was a little leary with trying this plugin out because of the warnings. So I created a test site first and used it and had no problems so then I backed up the real site I was working on and successfully imported the images. Wala!
Could it be improved? Maybe a message on installing the plugin that tells the new user that the usable settings appear under tools

Seven Heath.
I liked the sound of it.
My wife didn't.
Not even after I explained to her - paraphrasing a line from George Costanza in the Seinfeld episode "The Seven" - "It's Craig Biggio's number. So not only is it an all-around beautiful name, but it is also a living tribute."
"No," she said. "That's stupid."
I tried to make a deal.
"What if Biggio gets his 3,000th career hit on the same day the little guy is born? I mean, c'mon? What are the odds?"
"No," she said. "That's stupid."
"Well, what about Craig?" I asked.
"No," she said. "I don't like Craig."
"Then what about Biggio?" I asked.
"No," she said. "You had a dog named Biggio. I'm not naming my child the same thing you named a dog."
"Well, what if..."
"No," she said.
Good thing she stopped me. I had nothing.
Oh well, I guess now all I can do is hold out hope the Astros' future Hall of Fame second baseman can get on a hot streak and pound out 29 hits in the next 22 games. That would put him on pace to get 3,000 on our due date of June 15.
How cool would that be to have my favorite ball player - a player I've followed since his call-up in 1988 - reach one of baseball's greatest milestones on the day my son is born?
"Pumpkin?" I asked. "If Biggio is a hit or two shy of 3,000 when you go into labor, would there be any way you could..."
"No," she said. "You're an idiot."
Joke's on her.
I already knew that.
Anyway, Biggio theoretically could do it. You figure 4 to 4.5 at-bats per game for a leadoff hitter. That's between 90 and 100 at-bats.
You figure 29 hits in 95 at-bats works out to a .305 average.
It could happen.
Think of it. Every year, on the little guy's birthday - which, of course, I would never forget if it was tied to Biggio's 3,000th hit - I could tell him stories about his dad's favorite ballplayer.
Stories like how Biggio wore a pin to promote awareness for children with cancer despite facing a fine from Major League Baseball for violating the league's uniform policy.
Or stories like how a buddy of mine who was covering the Atlanta Braves for the Athens (Ga.) Banner Herald approached Biggio during batting practice to tell him about his friend back in Texas who named his dog after him. And how Biggio modestly joked, "Why, because I play like a dog out there?"
Or stories like how Biggio and his family sit on their front porch in Houston on Halloween night, and Biggio signs baseballs for kids and talks to fans.
Or stories like how when Biggio attends his sons' Little League games, he sits quietly off to himself, never yelling at umpires or second-guessing the coach.
I might even tell him some stories about what Biggio did on the field.
And when he gets a little bit older, I'll pass on to him my Biggio jersey and tell him about how I wanted to name him Seven.
"Wouldn't that be cool name?" I'll ask.
"No, Dad," he'll say. "You're an idiot."
Joke's on him.
I already knew that.

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
A Comic-Con 2016 report from the "Creating Universes" panel, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Len Wein, Bill Prady and Peter S. Beagle.
Ten years after they made "Scarface," Al Pacino and director Brian De Palma are back with "Carlito's Way," another large-canvas portrait of a professional criminal. Carlito Brigante, is older and wiser, however, than "Scarface's" Tony Montana, and for a time seems to be luckier.
He's a New Yorker with a Puerto Rican background, a drug dealer who was big in the barrio before he got sent up for 30 years.
We meet him at the legal hearing that will free him after only five years, on a technicality. His lawyer, a flashy lowlife named Kleinfeld (Sean Penn), sits by with a smirk as Carlito expansively addresses the judge and courtroom on the lessons to be learned by his release.
The speech paints him as a self-righteous blowhard and something of a showboat, but we begin to see a deeper side of Carlito as he returns to the streets where he was once famous. Facing 30 years in prison, where he expected to die, he got a chance to do some thinking, and now he decides he wants to go straight. A friend has offered him a share in a car rental business in the Bahamas.
To finance his investment, Carlito takes a job at a flashy nightclub, where he's thrown into contact with all the people he should avoid the most. And he meets a young punk who always introduces himself as "Benny Blanco from the Bronx" (John Leguizamo), the kind of hothead Carlito once was. Benny brings out the worst in him.
The movie is narrated by Carlito himself, who explains his hopes, his strategies, and especially his mistakes. One of those is surely to have chosen Kleinfeld as his lawyer. The acting here, by Sean Penn, is a virtuoso tour de force - one of those performances that takes on a life of its own. Penn is hardly recognizable beneath a head of balding, curly hair. He gives the lawyer a spoiled narcissism, a sneakiness and smarminess, and we watch him steadily losing control to cocaine and greed.
Carlito, on the other hand, tries to be a stand-up citizen.
He looks up an old girl friend named Gail (Penelope Ann Miller), who says she dances on Broadway but neglects to explain it's in a strip club. They love each other, after their fashion, but we never sense much depth in their relationship; each one is caught up in the details of personal survival.
Brian De Palma in his best films is a muscular director who relishes over-the-top behavior, and here he paints a gallery of colorful gangsters and lowlifes. The hoods in the movie look borrowed from a production of "Guys and Dolls," the nightclubs look recycled from "Saturday Night Fever," and Al Pacino himself seems to be inspired by his Oscar-winning role in "Scent Of A Woman" (there are times when his Puerto Rican accent migrates uncannily toward the voice of the crusty military man he played in that film).
The film is fascinated by the mechanisms which propel a man back into the criminal life despite his best intentions to escape it.
Carlito wants only to keep his nose clean, make some money, and get out of town. But his values, his friends and his circles are criminal, and the screenplay paints him into an inevitable corner - he's betrayed by his compulsion to stand by his friends.
Two of the set-pieces in the film are among De Palma's best work. One involves an insane scheme by the lawyer to rescue a hood from the Riker's Island prison barge. The other is a cat-and-mouse chase leading to a shootout in Grand Central Station. There have been a lot of shootouts in railroad stations in the movies, mostly routine, but De Palma finds endless variations as Carlito tries to elude his pursuers. And the visuals are as striking as the ambush in Chicago's Union Station that was a high point of De Palma's "The Untouchables." "Carlito's Way," like "Scarface," is first and last a character study, a portrait of a man who wants to be better than he is.
In "Scarface," the hero's ambitions led only to power, lust and greed. Here something more complicated is taking place; Carlito has grown enough to see himself from the outside, to understand some of the mistakes he made, to plot a way to escape from what seems like the inevitable fate of people in his position. Yet step by step and scene by scene, his fate is sealed.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Subway Arrests Have Skyrocketed Under Bratton
Enjoy those showtimes while you can, everybody.
While stop-and-frisk numbers have continued to drop off in 2014, arrests of subway "peddlers and panhandlers" have tripled, reaching 274 in the first two months compared to 90 in the same period last year. Not that we should be that surprised: Police Commissioner Bill Bratton built his national reputation in the early '90s as the "zero-tolerance" chief of the New York City Transit Police (fun fact: until 1995, the MTA had its own law enforcement agency). But the crackdown against peccadilloes doesn't end at the subway steps: There has been an overall 21 percent increase in arrests for low-level violations citywide, from open alcohol containers to sidewalk bike-riding. "If you take care of the little things, then you can prevent a lot of the big things," said Bratton. If anyone can stop the churros ladies from banding together with the guy who plays Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You" to form a crime syndicate, it's the NYPD.

1. Dry Body Brushing - Dry body brushing will boost circulation and stimulate the lymphatic system to release toxins. It also improves muscle tone and reduces puffiness and cellulite. Plus, it will leave your skin with a bright, youthful glow as it sloughs off dead skin cells that clog pores and encourages cell renewal. So, go out and purchase a natural body brush with a firm bristle. One with a long handle is generally best. The best time to do your body brushing is first thing in the morning, before you shower. Using gentle, circular movements brush towards your heart. Start with the soles of your feet and work your way up your legs, then hands and arms. Reach over and brush your back from the buttocks up the back and around to the stomach. Brush your tummy in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Far Infrared Sauna Therapy - Sitting in a far infrared sauna for anywhere up to half an hour will not only help you to flush out toxins via your sweat, but it will improve circulation and internal congestion, promote the elimination of heavy metals, radioactive particles and other toxins and improve oxygenation of the blood.
3. Bikram Yoga - As with sitting in a sauna, practicing Bikram yoga for 90 minutes will also cause you to produce a heck of a lot of sweat. And where there is sweat, there is intense detoxification happening. That, paired with the especially-designed organ-detoxifying postures makes regular Bikram yoga classes an excellent inclusion to your wellness regime.
4. Rub Your Skin with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Hydrogen peroxide is kind of like liquid oxygen. Therefore, using it to rub or spray over your skin after showering will deliver oxygen through the pores of your skin and into your system. You can also add one to two cups of 35% hydrogen peroxide to a half bathtub of water for a detoxifying bath.
5. Clay - Applying a natural clay mask to your body is another clever way to entice toxins to come out through your skin. You can apply it to your face, make up a clay pack and apply it over your liver (to give your other major detoxifying organ a hand) or spread it over your entire body. Montmorillonite (not of marine origin) clay does this job really well. To prepare a clay pack, mix the dry clay powder with hot distilled water to make a spreadable paste. A layer about 2 to 3mm thick is spread onto a piece of clean, white cloth, placed onto the area and covered with a piece of plastic and a wool cloth. It's then secured in place with a bandage and left for three to four hours. For a facemask, simply spread the paste over your skin and leave to dry for about 15 minutes before wiping off with a warm face washer.
6. Bathe in Apple Cider Vinegar - A hot bath prepared with a cup of organic raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a cup of Epsom salts will draw toxins out through the skin and help accelerate the cleansing process. This can also help relieve joint pain as well as skin conditions like eczema and acne.

Murphy has missed the last two games after sustaining a groin injury in the recent win at Bournemouth and Forte has been sidelined for the last four matches with a similar problem.
The Blades will also be boosted by the return of defender Danny Higginbotham, who missed last weekend's win at Oldham through illness, so manager Danny Wilson must decide whether to retain Matt Hill in his back four.
Teenage striker Diego De Girolamo, pushing for his full debut in recent weeks, is out after sustaining injury while on international duty with Italy Under-18s in midweek.
The Blades are bidding to return to the top of the table by extending their unbeaten run to seven games. They have dropped only two points in their last six.

Politics Under Fire from The American Spectator
posted by October 17 at 10:49 AMon
Looks like I have drawn the ire of The American Spectator.
The conservative magazine is pissed about the column I wrote for last week's paper which got picked up by Atrios, AmericaBlog, and Andrew Sullivan.
You see, last week, I got a chance to ask former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani a few questions when he was at the Sheraton in downtown Seattle hosting a fundraising dinner for Mike McGavick. Giuliani was stumping on post-9/11 security issuescriticizing Cantwell as a wimp for voting against Bush's military tribunals bill and hyping McGavick as a steward of homeland security.
So, I asked Giuliania supposedly vigilant homeland security advocate and a famous advocate for the assault weapons banwhat he thought about McGavick's opposition to the assault weapons ban.
Giuliani, sacrificing his conviction (he once said that anyone who voted against the assault weapons ban was putting special interests over life or death issues), pooh-poohed the assualt weapons ban. He told me "the assault weapons ban is something I supported in the past" and that he "didn't think it was one of the most critical issues right now."
The Spectator applauds Giuliani for "backing off from his history of anti-gun demagoguery" and then takes me to task for calling AK-47s assault weapons.
Basically, the AK-47s you can get at Butch's Gun Shop in Seattle are semi-automatic, not automatic, whichgun enthusiasts arguemean they are not assault weapons. Never mind that semi-automatic weapons are more precise (deadly) than automatics and can easily be altered to function like automatics.
Furthermore, try explaining all that to al Qaeda, which actually published a manual (discovered by U.S. forces in Afghansitan) advising Qaeda recruits to take advantage of U.S. gun laws to get AK-47s. Al Qaeda doesn't make any distinction between semi or auto, unlike the terrorist-huggers at the Spectator.
And that's all beside the point, anyway. My column busted Giuliani for flip-flopping on the ban he supported (a ban he referenced as the assault weapons ban) in order to kiss GOP ass. The GOP was against flip-flopping (see: Kerry, 2004) before they were for it.
