There's a new gay bar on Capitol Hillwhich for the gays is big news, since this city's worthwhile homo watering holes can be counted on one hand. I ended up there twice this weekend, and it was totally packed both times. It's not yet clear whether Purr, on 11th between Pike and Pine, will be a boy bar or a lesbian bar, which is kind of exciting. (Currently the boys seem to be occupying more territory.) And while the interior is only OK, here is what Purr definitively has over its competitors: the best unobstructed sight-lines in the city.
Also, its drink glasses are nicely weighted.

I've been working on my website at http://www.johnrosenman.com and promoting it. I am a SF/F/H/Paranormal Romance, etc. writer, and I now have seventy users and subscribers. I am pleased, but I would like to know exactly what this means. I believe I have an idea, but I'm not sure. Just how do subscribers "use" my site? Is it that every time I tinker or add to my site, they receive an RSS feed or notice to that effect of the changes and can follow along? Any input would be appreciated.

Plattar (Swedish Pancakes)
If you want to make these like authentic Swedish pancakes – which are much thinner than ordinary pancakes – use just one tablespoonful of batter per pancake.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large egg, higher omega-3 egg if available
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- canola cooking spray
- jam, flavor of your preference
- powdered sugar, optional
- Step 1
- In a blender, combine canola oil, egg, egg substitute, milk, flours, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if desired). Blend on medium speed until batter is smooth (1-2 minutes).
- Step 2
- Heat a skillet until very hot. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. For each pancake, drop 1/8 cup of batter into skillet. When the edges brown lightly (about 30 seconds), use a spatula to flip the pancake over and cook the other side another 30 seconds. Remove the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. For super-large pancakes, use 1/4 cup of batter instead of 1/8 cup.
- Step 3
- Scoop a little jam onto each pancake, then sprinkle powdered sugar over the top with a sifter (if desired).

Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy
by Jostein Gaarder
54 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for everyone
Dec 12 2010
This review is from:
Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy (Paperback)
If you think this book is for teenage girls in the middle of a life crisis, you should think again. Yes, Gaarder's book is about existentialism, but more than that, it is a great (and fun!) book about the history of the human-kind and tells us a lot about the world in which we are living today. It is a book for everyone! If you had to pick just one book to read in your life, this one probably would be it. They possibly should even be given to each child in every school. Why? Because it clearly and concisely explains the evolution of the human mind - the history of our journey to answer the foremost questions about our way of life: why are we here? What's our purpose in life?
In Sophie's narrative, Gaarder examines the sequence of the main events and discoveries in our history with a focus on how each one lead to our current status and way of thinking. After reading this book you will have a great respect and understanding of the stage in which we live today. Imagine that a diary has been passing hands by generations and all your ancestors left a mark on it. Now, this gift has finally made its way to you. Wouldn't it be a nice gift to receive? That's how `Shophie's World' feels like. Well, sorts of. In certain point, the book turns an unexpectable turn and something unimaginable happens. That, however, I'll live with you to figure it out.
Here's a summary of the insights you'll find in this book:
* Philosophy is extremely relevant to life and if we do not question and ponder our very existence we are not really living
* First, ancient myths were created by people in a need to come up with natural explanations for the processes in the world
* Then, natural philosophers appeared and were concerned with change. Democritus and his theory of indivisible atoms underlie all nature as well as the concept of fate
* Socrates was the first `philosopher' and was wise enough to know that he knew nothing. Plato came after with his `world of ideas' and then Aristotle (who criticised Plato) classified much of the natural world, and founded logic and our theory of concepts (founding the cornerstone principle of science)
* The Indo-European and Semitic cultures start to merge and this lead for the first time to unique challenges - making it the `right time' for the appearance of Jesus
* St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, and the Christianisation of Greek philosophy followed in the Middle Ages
* The focus on humanity marked the start of the Renaissance period and the Baroque time marked start of extremes. Descartes doubted the statuesque and by doing so he demonstrated that everyone could. Spinoza sensed that someone had an awesome power over all of us
* Then, came the empiricists. Locke believed in natural rights and that everything we know is gained from experience. Hume showed that our actions are guided by feelings and warned against making laws based upon our experiences. Berkeley suggested that our entire lives were inside the mind of God
* The Enlightenment period arrives and it is marked by its humane values. Kant unifies the empiricist and rationalist thought
* In the world spirit of Romanticism, Hegel brings a dialectical view of history, and Kierkegaard believes that the individual's existence is primary

Instructive and life changing...
Dec 12 2010
This review is from:
How to Win Friends and Influence People (Paperback)
In my humble opinion the best self-help book ever published along with `Think and Grow Rich' of Napoleon Hill. I must confess that I don't like the title (which I believe sends the wrong idea), but Dale's insights are real, and you just have to put it into practice. While some critics think that it's manipulative, I believe that Dale's insights are nothing more than careful observations of the human mind and behaviour - in other words, the rules of the game. If you pay attention to it, you will understand yours and other people's nature. Applying it will not only help you to be more successful in your life but also how to become a better person. You will see that most of the things that you are suggested to do are simply things you wished others were doing to you. Thus, the book is not about how to coerce others to do things that they don't want. In contrary, it is about principle, balance and respect. Dale instructs you that just with a little bit of consideration, all parts can gain and you could still have your ideas/wishes going through.
What follows are the books' 6 major sections and core points. Keep it close with you because, although simple, they are easy to forget:
* Fundamental techniques in handling people:
1) Don't criticize, condemn, or complain
2) Give honest and sincere appreciation
3) Arouse in the other person an eager want
* Why some people are very likeable (or 6 ways to make people like you):
1) They are genuinely interested in other people
2) They are often smiling
3) They remember people's name. For them, this is the sweetest and most important sound in any language
4) They are great listeners. Often encourage others to talk about themselves
5) They always talk in the terms of the other person's interest
6) They make the other person feel important and do it sincerely
* 12 Ways to convince people to your way of thinking:
1) Avoid arguments
2) Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never tell someone that he or she is wrong
3) If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically
4) Begin in a friendly way
5) Start with questions to which the other person will answer yes
6) Let the other person do the talking
7) Let the other person feel the idea is his/hers
8) Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view
9) Sympathize with the other person
10) Appeal to noble motives
11) Dramatize your ideas
12) Throw down a challenge; don't talk negatively when a person is absent; talk only about the positive
* Be a Leader: how to stimulate change in people without giving offense or arousing resentment:
1) Begin with praise and honest appreciation
2) Talk about your own mistakes first
3) Call attention to other people's mistakes indirectly
4) Ask questions instead of directly giving orders
5) Let the other person save face
6) Praise every improvement
7) Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to
8) Encourage them by making their faults seem easy to correct
9) Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest
* 7 Rules for making your home life happier:
1) Don't nag
2) Don't try to make your partner over
3) Don't criticize
4) Give honest appreciation
5) Pay little attentions
6) Be courteous
7) Read a good book on the sexual side of marriage
Rivals: How the Power Struggle Between China, India, and Japan Will Shape Our Next Decade
by Bill Emmott

4.0 out of 5 stars
Indispensable for the novice learner
Dec 11 2010
This review is from:
Rivals: How the Power Struggle Between China, India, and Japan Will Shape Our Next Decade (Paperback)
Bill Emmontt is an expert in the region and his extensive research (presented in this book) illustrates the past, current and future challenges of Asia. Differently than the Americas and Europe, the Asian continent comprehends a large territory and very distinct cultures. What to expect now that three economic superpowers with different interests are going to be competing for the control and influence of the region? The answer can be found in this very interesting, intelligent and thoughtful book.
The 4/5 stars is only due to the book's extension - which took just over 300 pages to get to possible solutions. Still, this is the perfect book for novice learners (such as me). Highly recommended!
In a nutshell, here are the main insights of the book:
* Asia is going to carry on getting richer and stronger, probably for a long time to come. While, by the late 2020s, China could overtake America as the world's largest economy, India - contrary to popular belief - is no longer simply the world's back office
* India's current economic structure resembles that of earlier developments of Japan, South Korea and China. Private investment has soared across the board and manufacturing is now growing faster than services (as the emergence of the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car, highlights)
* Japan is beset by an ageing population and political paralysis, but this trend is unlikely to be permanent. Huge public debts and competition from China are liable to engender further reforms and higher productivity. Japan's next ten years will not be as dismal as the last.
* As a result, Asia's gathering strength is not only going to cause tension between East and West but also, for the first time, tension will also rise between its three powerful states - China, India and Japan. China will be expanding its presence across the Indian Ocean as it seeks resources and India will be looking eastwards for allies and markets
* Japan feels especially threatened by China's ascendancy. Tensions are mounting in Taiwan, the Korean peninsula, and Tibet, which are all potential flashpoints that could lead to conflict. So, managing this new Asian rivalry is one of this century's most important tasks: "as long as the three Asian powers have different levels of status in world affairs, resentment, mistrust and suspicion will be engendered between the three."
* In the final chapter, Emmott outlines some ideas on how governments and world authorities should approach the issue: End or restructure the G-8 (expelling Italy and Canada and welcoming China and India); Give India and Japan permanent member veto status on the UN Security Council; Construct an economic union around the East Asian Summit--broad enough to include all three major Asian powers, but not so broad as to make agreements impractical, and which above all should drop the idea that America must always be at the table when topics such as trade are discussed; Set a security pact based on the ASEAN Regional Forum, which would morph into an organization that would impose greater obligations on its members and where in this case America would play a key role as guarantor
Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done

Astute yet partial
Dec 11 2010
This review is from:
Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done (Hardcover)
Mr. Bossidy and Mr. Ram share their experiences and insights leading and implementing strategy projects in several Forbes 500 organizations. The bottom-line is that Execution is a complex discipline but key for any company's success. In this book the authors present through storytelling some great tools and real cases to teach us how to get things done successfully. People, Strategy and Operations are the core issues described, and the approach is: 1) set achievable goals 2) work a visible action plan and 3) document results. Although some of the elements described are pure common-sense, some others may surprise you.
While rich with great examples involving top decision-makers of different MNCs, the book lacks samples/strategies applied by smaller companies or the middle management - who most of the time face different challenges and have limited resources. Thus, while the theory in the book is valuable, some of its practicality could be lost for the small manager/entrepreneur. That's the only reason I give it a 4/5 stars.
What follows is a highlight of the key points covered in the book:
* "Execution is the greatest unaddressed issue in the business world today... the single biggest obstacle to success.... a specific set of behaviors and techniques... the critical discipline for success... the primary differentiator between companies..."
* Execution is defined as "a systematic discipline of exposing reality and acting on it". Thus, the leader's 7 essential behaviour is:
1. Know your people and your business. Engage in active involvement/personal connection and in distilling the challenges facing the business or business units into few (perhaps less than 6) fundamental issues
2. Insist on realism. Practicality is the heart of execution, thus it's about doing what works and stopping what isn't, about people changing or not, about further investing or moving on
3. Set clear goals and priorities. Focus on very few clear priorities that everyone can grasp, top 3/4 that will produce the best results from the resources at hand
4. Follow through. Don't set goals if you don't plan to check on
5. Reward the doers. Measure the results and then reward/promote people who generated them
6. Expand people's capabilities through coaching. Coaching, which is teaching people how to get things done instead of simply giving orders, is the single most important part of expanding other's capabilities
7. Know yourself. Find and exercise authenticity, awareness, self-mastery and humility
* Create a Framework for Cultural Change by linking it to business outcomes:
1. Cultural change gets real only when your aim is execution
2. You need to change people's behaviour so that they can produce results
3. First state the results you are looking for, just after discuss how to get them
4. Reward people for getting the results or provide additional coaching when they don't
* How your corporate culture should look like:
1. It needs to be grounded in execution and results
2. Communications, meetings, emails, reports, etc. should be represented and described into actions
3. Change process behaviourally based, translating thoughts and dialogue into action and closure
* Execution, the job of the leader, is exercising (not delegating) the development of people/leaders, forging a strategic direction and conducting operations. Thus, it requires active management of:
1. People; select and keep the right individuals for the job, direct link strategy to performance/results, and help them develop the leadership skills to sustain the organization
2. Strategy; develop a customer/market accurate actionable plan (6 or fewer building blocks) for allocating resources and defining how to achieve the business objectives. It relies upon a process of rigor and tenacious probing, testing of ideas and business realities and investment in picking and developing a plan and the people who can execute it
3. Operations processes; breaking long term objectives into short-term, measurable, reviewed plan with short term targets, action steps and tasks
* The People Process means no leader should delegate having the right people in place, and have the courage to confront results promptly and take decisive action with non-performers, versus comfort based decisions. "The people process is more important than either the strategy or operations process... its evaluating people accurately and in-depth, then identifying and developing talent... or filling the leadership pipeline"
The Culture Code: An Ingenious Way to Understand Why People Around the World Live and Buy as They Do

Insightful and mind opening...

This review is from:
The Culture Code: An Ingenious Way to Understand Why People Around the World Live and Buy as They Do (Paperback)
The book tells you why consumers from different parts of the world think the way they do. Dr. Rapaille uses his long-term experience as a psychiatrist and consultant for major multinational corporations to tell us in an intelligent and entertaining way how he used his 'inprint' reading technique to help his clients to learn what customers from different parts of the world associate their product/brand with. The results are surprising!
Each chapter of the book exemplify a different case, but the main take-away is that to better design or market a product/brand, you must first know what is inside your consumer mind. Knowing that, you can then anticipate how your brand/product will be perceived by your audience or also appeal to their longstanding (and often forgotten) pleasant memories to associate your product/brand with it. As same objects/products create different commotions ("inprints") in each individual (and more so in people in different environment - hence distinct cultures) breaking the `Culture Code' means to crack the association secret.
That's where Dr. Rapaille `inprint' reading technique comes to place. Whereas it was fun and interesting learning about his methods, even more enjoyable was to discover why and how even simple common objects as toilet paper came to represent very distinct associations in different parts of the world. Have fun with it.

Fantastic book! Inspiring, educational and entertaining...

This review is from:
Business Stripped Bare: Adventures of a Global Entrepreneur (Paperback)
Once you read this one you will have a lifestyle and role model to look up to. The book is rich with stories that clearly exemplify Brandson's secret to his own success. Read his first book (Losing My Virginity) for better contextualization. Here is a brief summary of the lessons I took from it. Perhaps 95% of Brandson's success comes from hard work, but all these other factors (the remaining 5%) were incremental in shaping his winning attitude. I've changed my behaviour since becoming aware of it, and as a reminder I always keep this summary handy and look at it often. (I can't be reborn again but I still can change my mind-set)
The secret of educating to success is to:
1) Treat a child as an adult (respecting his/her opinions and sharing ideas with them equally): Richard's parents were never shy to discuss sex, drugs and politics openly with him and not judge his personal opinion. This helped Richard to develop his self-confidence and boost his argumentative and social behaviour skills
2) Induce independence and self-reliance (teaching kids to stay in their two feet): similarly, young Richard often found himself searching for a way in-out because his parents forced him to learn how to get and conquest things on his own. Richard learned that desire is great, but to achieve his ambitions through his own hands was even better - it is liberating and forced him to constantly be looking for alternatives
3) Put the need of others first (do not be selfish): since start Richard has been helping others and his family, and was always surrounded by activities. By helping others he learned that he is actually helping himself
4) Think of ways to make honest money (busting the entrepreneurial spirit): parents or important figures setting the example and challenges
5) Thinking of how to improve and change things (break the rules): as you know this is the core of Virgin's culture. Think outside the box and challenge the status quo by putting ideas diplomatically and through meaningful ways
6) Connect the theory in class with real problems in life (what's the reason behind all that school training?): Richard always had the `let's do it' tactical attitude. He always believed in training for a purpose, not only for the sake of the theory
7) Keep neither a TV nor a radio (keep a journal instead): Writing and adventure are Richard's passions. As a young reporter he learned at early age that by writing you find time to think, follow and reflect about ideas, mistakes, teachings and goals
8) Learn from others (they hold the knowledge after all): still today we see Richard on the media nurturing network and connections in all fields. His lesson is that you can't impossible know everything, so surround yourself by great people, the ones that are greater than you in any aspect
9) Be competitive (in a healthy way): sports, work and group activities teach you how to work in teams and provides the motivation to challenge and improve yourself
10) Have fun while you stepping out of the comfort zone (you've got just one life): think strategically, do what you like and believe, link enjoyment with business/work life
11) Don't try to do everything (it's impossible): prioritize, delegate and create succession are key for expansion and growth

U.S. troops are increasingly using an herbal mix called "Spice" that mimics a marijuana high and can bring on hallucinations that last for days.
Alarmed military officials have launched an aggressive testing program that this year has led to the investigation of more than 1,100 suspected users.
So-called "synthetic" pot, which is legal to purchase in stores as a herbal incense, has become popular nationwide in recent years. Marijuana-specific drug tests typically can't trace it, but urine tests can detect it.
Spice can have dangerous side effects, as ingredients can often vary.
Two years ago, only 29 Marines and sailors were investigated for Spice. This year, the number topped 700. Those found guilty of using Spice are kicked out.
The Air Force has punished 497 airmen, compared to last year's 380.
Early in 2011, 25 Air Force Academy cadets were investigated for abusing the substance.
"The abuse of these products by military members, cadets and cadet candidates contradicts the nature of the profession of arms, threatens our military readiness and impairs our responsibilities to the Air Force and our nation," Lt. Gen. Mike Gould, USAFA Superintendent, said at the time.
The Army does not track Spice investigations but says it has medically treated 119 soldiers.
Military officials emphasize none was believed to be high while on duty.

Asia Markets Rally on Greek Relief
Asia stocks rallied on Friday, as a surprise interest-rate cut in Europe and Greece's decision to shelve its referendum on a bailout, both after Asian markets had closed on Thursday, boosted hopes for global growth.
Despite the day's gains, however, most major indexes ended the week in the red.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 3.1% on Friday to 19842.79, but lost 0.9% for the week. A 1.9% rise in the Nikkei Stock Average to 8801.40, on the heels of a Thursday holiday, trimmed the week's loss to 2.8%. South Korea's Kospi advanced 3.1% to 1928.41, but edged down 0.1% on the week, its first weekly loss in four. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index jumped 2.6% on the day to 4281.10 but fell 1.7% on the week, while India's Sensex rose 0.5% on Friday to 17562.61 but fell 1.4% over the week.
The Shanghai Composite gained 0.8%, its fourth consecutive daily gain, to 2528.29 and rose 2.2% over the week.
Asian investors picked up on strong gains for European and U.S. markets made Thursday after Greece abandoned plans to put its latest bailout package to a popular vote. Also boosting sentiment was the European Central Bank's quarter-point cut to 1.25%, announced by new president Mario Draghi. The move took markets by surprise and indicated that the central bank will focus on supporting growth, even in the face of elevated inflation.
"On the whole, it is clear that the focus of the bank has shifted to growth concerns," said analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman, who expect another quarter-point cut in December.
Against this action to shore up the European economy, export-focused firms showed strength in the Tokyo session, with Sharp SHCAY -2.12 % rising 4.4%, Toshiba TOSYY -7.24 % climbing 3.2%, and Hitachi up 3.6%
Many exporters in other markets also moved higher, with Li & Fung LFUGY 1.37 % up 5% in Hong Kong, and LG Display advancing 8.1% in Seoul.
But Tokyo-listed shares of Sony plunged 7.9% as investors took their first chance to react to results from late Wednesday, when the conglomerate swung to a second-quarter net loss and said losses could top $1 billion for the year. J.P. Morgan Chase analysts cut the stock to neutral from overweight Friday.
Nissan Motor gained 4.9% after the auto maker raised its outlook for the fiscal year in profit results posted Wednesday.
Financials helped lead gains in Hong Kong, where Industrial & Commercial Bank of China rose 3.3%, Bank of Communications added 6.6%, China Merchants Bank rose 6.3%, and China Life Insurance 2823 0.00 % ended 7.3% higher.
Resource stocks advanced on firmer prices for some commodities. In the Sydney session, BHP Billiton rose 3.9%, Rio Tinto RIO 4.02 % climbed 5.3%, and iron-ore producer Fortescue Metals Group FSUGY 1.81 % surged 7.9%.
In Hong Kong, Aluminium Corp. of China advanced 7.2%, and Cnooc CEO -0.50 % closed up 5.1%. Among Tokyo-listed trading houses, Mitsui & Co. MITSY -0.87 % gained 2.7%, Mitsubishi & Co. MSBHY -0.84 % rose 2.3%, and Itochu ITOCY -0.29 % added 4.5%.

If I combine year and category in a link it works fine without permalinks, like this: /wordpress/?year=2010&cat=7
I get the correct listing of posts.
But as soon as I turn permalinks on it is no longer working. It tried different combinations of /%year%/%category%/
But it fails to work. I get ALL post in that category instead of only the posts for the category in only that year. And the year fails to show in the permalinks.
I've been looking around for some time now but can't find any working example of permalink structures combining %category% and %year%
Am I missing something really obvious? Or am I trying something impossible?
Any help is much appreciated..... thanks

NC election officials probe voter forms
Published: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 10:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 10:51 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The North Carolina State Board of Elections is investigating voter registration forms submitted by community organizers whose efforts have led to similar probes in other states.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now works to register low-income people as voters. ACORN claims to have registered 1.3 million people nationwide since 2007, including nearly 28,000 in North Carolina.
The group pays its field workers to sign up registered voters, and some forms may have used fake or duplicated information.
Durham County's elections office last month gave about 120 suspect forms to the state for investigation. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wake County's elections office sent in about 30 suspicious forms last week.

Buena Vista Social Club's Lost and Found, a collection of previously unreleased tracks out next week, opens with a live version of "Bruca Manigua," featuring Ibrahim Ferrer on vocals. A video of Ferrer performing the song live in concert in 2000 premiered yesterday on the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy. "This video, shot in front of a sold-out crowd in Paris, finds the spry Ferrer, then 72, in fine form," says Speakeasy, "his voice strong and supple as he sings the 1930s Cuban standard accompanied by lush, joyous horn parts and polyrhythmic percussion." Watch the performance here.Read more|Journal Topics:Artist News Videoibrahim ferrerhttp://www.nonesuch.com/journal/mercury-news-ibrahim-ferrer-joshua-redman-records-among-best-of-2007January 06, 2008|1 commentsRead more|Journal Topics:ibrahim ferrerhttp://www.nonesuch.com/journal/ibrahim-ferrers-mi-sueno-reviewed-on-npr-fresh-airMay 22, 2007|0 comments

Here is a picture taken during an incredible sunset at La Palue beach, in Crozon Peninsula (Brittany, France). The sky was very cloudy at the evening without any light an colors. And then a hole and this "divine light" appeared for a very quick moment. Unforgettable!

A local state lawmaker remains hopeful his amendment to require schools train and arm personnel with loaded weapons will become law despite opposition from the leader of the Indiana Senate and Gov. Mike Pence.
Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long and Pence said Thursday the state must take steps to improve school security but that schools shouldn't face a mandate on having armed personnel.
The amendment is also raising concerns for Seymour Community Schools safety officials.
State Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, proposed an amendment on Tuesday to Senate Bill 1 that would make Indiana the first state in the nation to require armed school employees.

Can you tell me, or point me to, how to code a plugin to clean up after itself if uninstalled?
I'm writing a little plugin for myself that adds and uses an extra table in the database, but I will not be needing the functionality at a later date. At that point I will uninstall the plugin but I don't want to have to go into the database to remove the extra table.

Registration open for Screenwriting Lab
The Miami International Film Festival has teamed-up with BTG Productions to offer what they are calling an "Intensive Screenwriting Lab."
Registration is now open for MIFF and BTG Productions' Intensive Screenwriting Lab, to be held on November 14-15 at the Miami Science Museum. Like most screenwriting/filmmaking workshops it ain't cheap at $310 for the two-day course.
According to the press release, here's what you'll get for your hard-earned cash:
The two-day Screenwriting Lab, the second round in a series of workshops, will provide participants with critical insights into the various elements of the screenwriting craft: screenplay format, developing the story, theme, character, plot, synopsis, treatment, scene list, dialogue, and three-act structure. In a compact weekend format, the Screenwriting Lab will instruct aspiring filmmakers on the fundamentals of producing content on film or digital technology. What makes these workshops truly exceptional is the quality and caliber of their award winning instructors, all of whom are produced screenwriters with Hollywood credits.
The returning lecturer is award-winning WGA screenwriter, producer, and director Tom Musca. Credits include Stand and Deliver (Academy nomination for best actor), Tortilla Soup, and Gotta Kick It Up! Tom was named Moseley Fellow at Pomona College in 2006. He was head of the Screenwriting Faculty at the New Mexico Filmmakers Intensive, a post-graduate in the above-the-line film-training program for writers, producers, directors, and editors at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. He also conducts MPAA workshops around the world on Screenwriting and Producing. Mr. Musca has several features in development. He holds an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from UCLA film school.
Space is limited to 15 participants. Tuition is $295 plus a $15.00 processing and materials fee. A $75.00 deposit is required to reserve a spot. Full payment is due a week before the start of the workshop. Checks, cashier checks or money orders are accepted. Deadline to register is November 7th. To register, email firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, contact BTG at 305/227-2750.

Today I installed Yoast SEO. I looked at my source code and I found link to Yoast website.
It sitting in wordpress-seo/frontend/class-frontend.php
pick up any code editor like PSPad and remove the link. You wont see it on your website unless look into source code.
I managed to remove link, however I dislike this type of hiding the links without letting us know. Author should warn users even if the plugin is free-to-use.

Aoi Sekai No Chuushin De, also known as The Center of the Blue World or World War Blue, is a parody of the console wars between Nintendo and SEGA in their early era.Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Tropes found in Aoi Sekai No Chuushin De include:
- Amazonian Beauty: Tofai. Interestingly, she's based on Akuma from Street Fighter.
- Bishōnen: Tejirov. Gear doesn't look too bad himself.
- Console Wars: This series is basically this as a Fantasy setting.
- Curtains Match the Window: Gear.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Whenever Opal uses her Shooting ability, it really seems like as though something else was about shoot from within her...
- Double Entendre: Tejirov's Tetris jokes are just Tetris jokes, right?...right?...guys?....
- During the War
- Expy: Being a parody of the Console Wars, we have characters representing various video game characters or entire video games. The different regions in the land of Consume are also named after video game companies like Ninteldo Empire, Segua Kingdom, Atarika Empire, etc.
- Fanservice
- Fingore: Opal gets her nails ripped off from overcharging her Shooting ability.
- Hot Springs Episode
- The Anime only showed Gear and Tejirov in the hot spring; however the Manga included a (separate baths) scene with Nel and Opal as well as the two boys.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: This happens to Tial very early on in the story.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Parodies of Sonic the Hedgehog (Gear and Tial), Phantasy Star II (Nel), Fantasy Zone (Opal), Tetris (Tejirov), Columns (Ramses), The Legend of Zelda (Zelig), Super Mario Bros. (Marcus and Guliji), and so on...
- Ms. Fanservice: Every girl in one way or another.
- Mr. Fanservice: The guys also have their share of fanservice.
- Super Speed: Take a wild guess.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Gear, again.

On a website I help manage, I'm using your plugin to display a page full of "progress updates" on a certain award. However, the progress bars don't appear to be displaying entirely correctly in all browsers I've tested (which is a handful of them across Windows/Mac/Ubuntu). There's an extra little grey bar then the line breaks and the progress bar appears a line below. The numeric values on the right hand side also do not look right.
In all oddity, the page looks almost perfect (other than rounded corners, obviously) in IE9 with Compatibility Mode turned on.
The page in question is: http://www.wagion.org/journey-to-excellence-progress-center/
For reference, this has persisted through both versions 0.4 and 0.5.2. We're running Arras theme 184.108.40.206.
Is there anything we can do to make this look a bit better?

FILE - In this June 5, 1989, file photo, Michael Chang, of the United States, returns the ball to Ivan Lendl, of former Czechoslovakia, in their fourth-round match of the French Open tennis tournament in Paris. Chang became the youngest male champion at a Grand Slam tournament (a record that still stands) and the first American man to win the Roland Garros title since Tony Trabert in 1955 after rallying from two sets down to defeat Lendl 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Chang's comeback is considered one of the all-time greatest in sports history. (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau, File)

Y'all know me. I love saving a buck or two. I'm a drugstore beauty kind of girl who occasionally likes to splurge on the higher-end goods. And occasionally really means once a month tops. As much as I love beauty products, I'd prefer not to deplete my savings account trying to buy a lipgloss. If you're a penny pinchin' gal like me, a site like Coupons.com will be your best friend. And I'm not even kidding.
Try and guess how much this beauty basket cost. Seriously….guess.

Company officials came from Canada and Houston on Friday to see the hefty expansion of Borger's refinery.
ConocoPhillips and EnCana have teamed up to develop facilities to refine heavy sour crude, oil so thick it has to be melted with steam and mixed with lighter oil to flow through pipelines. The pairing is an equal partnership called WRB Refining and is now processing the heavy oil that comes from Alberta, Canada.
"This is a significant milestone," Refinery Manager Brian Lever told representatives from the two companies' headquarters. "Over the last few weeks, we've been increasing the percentage of heavy sour crude we refine."
The new refining setup covers about four city blocks and rises 300 feet in the air. Construction started in 2004 and cost about $500,000,000. The construction work force reached 1,100 people, installing 300,000 feet of pipe and more than 1 million feet of cable, Lever said.

I've got a AHK script that looks for an active Emacs window and switches to it. However, since I'm using VirtuaWin now, this script stopped working -- it only works on the virtual display where Emacs actually is, but not on others. Any suggestions on what I can do?
would detect it, but switching to the workspace it's on could be complicated.
Old question, but in case anyone else stumbles upon it, if you always run Emacs (or whatever other application) on a specific desktop, you can use VirtuaWin's command line interface to switch desktops. Here's a snippet from my autohotkey.ahk to switch to desktop 5 and find or run visual studio:
A brief sleep is needed after the window switch or WinExist won't find it.
A list of all of the VirtuaWin msg commands is in the VirtuaWin help file, Advanced User Guide / External Interface.
Hope it helps.

Extra-long 'Glee' return gets a silly running time
'Glee' will push well into the 10 p.m. hour for FOX, following an extra-long 'Idol'
FOX's "Glee" is returning on Tuesday, April 13 with an episode that was just too big too contain.
The network has announced that the musical-comedy's spring premiere will run from 9:28-10:30 p.m.
Be sure to adjust your DVR accordingly.
Not only is this new episode of "Glee" apparently too action-packed for a mere hour -- sometimes only 62 minutes will do -- but it's also too eventful to be contained within FOX's normal primetime block, which ends at 10 p.m.
To be fair, the episode follows up after the very eventful winter finale and features guest stars Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff, so those extra two minutes are probably well-earned.
This is the second time this spring that FOX had run into that hour of primetime usually reserved for ABC and CBS (plus NBC when the network doesn't decide to pass the 10 p.m. programming buck to Jay Leno for an entire fall). In January, hoping or assuming that the network would get a late afternoon NFL playoff game, FOX scheduled the premiere of "24" and a special launch of "Human Target" to extend into the 10 p.m. hour on a Sunday night. Of course, FOX ended up with the early playoff game that day and the anticipated bump never occurred.
For the "Glee" return, FOX knows that its lead-in is secure. "American Idol" that week will run an unusual 88 minutes. By our count, there should be eight singers performing that night, barring the use of a Judges' Save. Earlier this month, "Idol" had no trouble at all fitting in eight performances on consecutive semifinals nights, meaning that in order to boost "Glee," FOX is padding "Idol" with 28 minutes of filler.
Last year's Top 8 performance week for "American Idol" ran between 8 and 10 minutes into the 9 p.m. hour and gave a big boost to the spring return of "Fringe."

"No plot"
If you're looking for a general lesson on ecological systems, then this book might be for you. If you're looking for a story with a plot, then skip this. Oddly enough, although there was no story at all, I ended up listening to the whole thing, (maybe hoping something would happen?)
Two stars may be a little harsh. When I first started listening I really had a problem with the narration, but as it went on, it kind of grew on me. I don't think I'd want to listen to her narrate books other than her own, but at least as the writer she knew what inflections she wanted.
Disappointment. As a scientist it was nice to see someone extolling the virtues of predator ecology, organic farming, and conserving species, but I would have preferred to have it wrapped in a story that had a point.
I absolutely adore Barbara Kingsolver as a writer and a narrator. Don't listen to anyone that says she as a writer should not be the narrator. I think this makes her more apt to be THE narrator because she knows where the ennunciations should be and the tone of the actual book. I LOVE the song bird audio between chapters. I have read the book various times I just love listening to her read her book the way it was meant to be read. A definite must.
Retired to mountains of California. Sell on eBay as Prsilla. No TV. Volunteer in wildlife rehab. Knit, sew or embroider while listening.
"Top of the List Classic!"
This is such a good book -- and for many repeated listens! -- that I'm afraid the more I say the more I might turn off someone deciding whether or not to listen to it. Nevertheless, I am going to listen again and again. I am going to burn the CD's for my Russian ESL student and give her the hardcover book to follow. Aside from anything else Kingsolver has written, this book stands by itself as a masterpiece and a rich and lovely listen. The author reads gently, calmly, not hurried. She can sound like a hillbilly or the educated woman she is. Some passages sound like a textbook or propaganda, because each character feels strongly about one aspect of creation. The listener gets to watch them interact with the world and each other. You can listen to find out what happens next. Then listen again for the poetry and relish the birdsong between chapters. Listen for the layers of meaning. There's a surprise for whoever listens to the last chapter and immediately begins the first chapter again. Lovely!
"This story sticks in my mind"
I've listened to this book twice, several years apart, and the same experience each time: slow to start, then it spirals, hunts and pounce. This is the only author-narrated book I've recommended to friends because Kingsolver's mountain voice is sly, wonderous and just about a perfect match for Prodigal Summer. I miss some of the characters, am glad for their successes. I love the overflowing bounty that slowly builds and erupts. It's the ordinariness that transforms into special.
"Odd but wonderful"
I enjoy listening to books read by the author (when they can read well, which Kingsolver *does*).
This is really a lovely book and kept my interest better than other books written with this structure -- which is that it switches back and forth between 3 different stories of 3 differenet people, only related during the story by living in the same area.
Also, though I personally agree with Kingsolver's point of view, I think she comes off as a tiny bit too preachy or self satified in her essays. Here she manages to present her point of view in an interesting manner, without sacraficing the story. By making the story partly about the conflicts her characters run into because of their points of view, they are the story, instead of being interjected like vitamin shots.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"Never has someone TRIED so hard to sabotage..."
First off, the reviews praising this book, the story (content) of this book, are spot on... it's GREAT! The story takes us into a world so filled with detail and stories about life and love, that you can't help but be sucked in. The book is borderline genius, plain and simple.
Now comes the part that truly amazes me about this audiobook. The publisher/producer decided to do 2 HUGE things to sabotage the success of this audiobook...
First, between each chapter there are LOUD, annoying bird "songs". Yes, birds chirp, seemingly out of nowhere, right in your ear when you're trying to listen to WORDS. This is annoying, jolting, and pointless. It literally adds NOTHING positive to the book, and only serves to annoy the heck out of you at times when you're really invested in this amazing story.
Second, and this is the big complaint... For some unknown/unexplainable reason, the author is unaware that there are "professional readers" out there that read (perform) many of the books on Audible. She's either unaware of this fact, or worse, she actually considers HERSELF a "professional reader". In my opinion, the latter is unforgivable, if true. Trust me, she's not anywhere close to being a "professional reader". She's terrible. Her character voices are laughable. Her inflections are usually misplaced and nonsensical. It's like having a child (an untalented child) read a book to you, and it sucks. You don't want this author reading ANYTHING to you , ever.
What this supreme misstep does do, however, is show just how incredible the story of this book actually is. Even with (what I would consider) one of the worst narrators in the history of Audible, the story still remains interesting, intriguing, and unique. I loved it from start to finish, and the author deserves ALL the credit for that. If the producers ever acquire the much-needed skill of common sense, they'll hire one of the many "professional readers" out there, remake this, and it will be 5 stars across the board, hands down.
As for now, the best I can say is, if you're willing to go through a bit of torture, a great story awaits you at the end.
"Heartbroken to have it end"
I could listen to Kingsolver read her own work FOREVER. Finishing this book is like leaving Eden. More more more.
Persnickety, curmudgeonly, locked into a long daily commute which is mitigated somewhat by listening to great books.
"Kingsolver's reading does justice to her writing"
Its hard to find a better writer than Barbara Kingsolver. Audible's version has Kingsolver herself reading the book. Because the book has passages that require the accent of the blue ridge mountains, it is a bonus to have the author read it herself. Kingsolver's voice suits the material so well, you would think she speaks the lines out loud before writing them down.
This book excels in the same way Flight Behavior does - fusing the sensations of the natural world with the characters. Beautiful!
Suzanne, avid reader and listener who loves a broad range of genres but, ecpecially authors,T.C. Boyle, Jodi Picoult, Barbara Kingsolver, Lionel Shriver, Sue Miller, Larry McMurty, Bryce Courteran, Lisa Gardner, Brian Haig, Richard North Patterson, Nelson Demille, Robert Tannenbaum, Sara Gruen, Kate Norton, Steig Larsen, Tana French and Gillian Flynn!! Still many more and the number of authors I enjoy continues to grow.
"Don't usually like authors to narrate, but,"
This is definitely and still in my top five!
I love the way she weaves the different story lines and characters together. And, the natural world is explained and shown to have it's own persistent and undeniable purpose, presence and influence. I read this years ago and my listening to this book did not dissapoint.
She has a soft pleasant lilting voice which serves her material well. I have found a number of books where the author makes the mistake of narrating. If I don't like the narrator I won't buy or listen to the box. You will not be dissapointed with Kingsolver's performance!
Iit's all a big sexual circus!
The science in this book is amazing. The age-span of the characters and issues presented our astonishing.
"Kingsolver's best, imho"
I like all of Kingsolver's writing -- I'd probably read the phone book twice if she wrote it -- but this is my favorite. The story lines are woven together as an elegant braid, or maybe a celtic knot... so beautifully constructed and tidy, with no loose ends. The characters are real and deep, imperfect and funny. Kingsolver herself is a marvelous reader who narrates with perfect understanding of her characters and how they were meant to speak. I have listened to this book several times on cassette, and when I recently joined Audible, I put this on my list right away- I know I will have reason to listen again and again, spend time with these characters as old friends and let Kingsolver's language and voice wash over me.

You know those helmets with the two cans and the straws? Yeah, we invented something like that for diapers, without the straws, of course. Let's just say we're waiting for it to catch on. If your paradigm is still stuck on a bag-centric diaper transport model, here you go.
My favorite part of this sale: the graphic of the dog carrying the swaddled baby. That could be because I don't have kids, though.
purpose designed diaper bags are a real waste of money. You're better off getting a decent tote bag, sling or backpack to hold your stuff and the baby's stuff. Diaper bags are usually overpriced, not very sturdy and one more thing to carry when your hands are already full.
Pro-tip: get a really nice fishing/tackle bag. It has a gazillion pockets, is super durable, and usually a lot cheaper than regular diaper bag.
This tip courtesy of my very Southern mother.

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Five minutes remained in the game when Western Michigan assistant Cornell Mann turned to Broncos head coach Steve Hawkins and asked him if he had ever seen an offensive performance like Pitt's on Sunday.
"I said 'Yes, two years ago when I went to watch Illinois at Michigan State,' " Hawkins said after the No. 5 Pitt Panthers put on an offensive clinic in an 86-67 victory over the Broncos here in the inaugural Maggie Dixon Classic, an event held to honor Pitt coach Jamie Dixon's sister, the Army women's coach who tragically died of a heart ailment at 28 on April 6.
"They remind me of Illinois," Hawkins said. "Nothing against Carl Krauser, but I haven't seen [Pitt] share the ball as well as they did. They are very good offensively."
The Illinois comparison isn't far off. It might not be true in style of play, since the Panthers aren't guard-dominated and, at times, depending on the lineup, are speed-challenged. But the eventual destination of those Illini -- the national title game -- definitely looks realistic for as much as you can read into Sunday's opening-game undressing of the Broncos.
Hawkins was trying to be polite, but the reality is that Krauser's absence hasn't hurt this squad one bit. The former point guard, famously known in college hoops for his Bronx-honoring, arm-crossing "X" after every 3-pointer, wasn't selfish, but for whatever reason, the Panthers are much more balanced without him.
Having Aaron Gray, the behemoth in the middle, back after flirting with the NBA draft, does make a big difference. Gray, who finished with 10 points, 13 boards and two blocks, opens up an inordinate amount of shots for the rest of the Panthers. Case in point: The Panthers were 5-of-9 on 3s in the first half, and guard Ronald Ramon finished 5-of-6 from beyond the arc.
"[Gray] makes plays for us and keeps everyone open," Ramon said.
"We had five or six guys in double figures. We shot the ball well from the field. We've got so much talent on this team," Gray said.
How much? Well, let's just say the majority of teams in the country would be overjoyed to have Ramon, Tyrell Biggs, Keith Benjamin and Sam Young coming off the bench.
That's right; Dixon had those four coming off the pine, with Gray joined by Levon Kendall, Levance Fields, Antonio Graves and East Carolina transfer Mike Cook in the starting lineup. Cook stamped his Pitt debut by leading the Panthers in scoring with 17 points, getting out on the break and finishing with ease.
Gray said the Panthers now have a true small forward in Cook, something he said they had to force with a shooting guard or a power forward in the past. Cook said he was anxious to start, but felt comfortable once he was out and running.
"Our second team is just as good as our first," Gray said.
The starting lineup is hardly set in stone. Assistant Orlando Antigua said the depth on this squad and the competition for starting spots has created a much more intense atmosphere. Yet, no one seems to mind who is getting the first nod, since there is an understanding they will all get significant run.
"We have great chemistry, on and off the court," said Ramon. "We know what we want to do and the goal we want to achieve."
Kendall's defense, which included drawing two quick charges to start the first half, showed his unselfishness. Dixon said after the game the team was arguing over who had the charges -- another sign how much they valued the defensive play.
This is not to assume that beating a mid-level MAC school indicates that Pitt is suddenly the national title favorite, but it's clear after this snapshot of the Panthers -- a season opener in which they had 23 assists on 35 buckets -- that there won't be too many teams that are as fluid offensively. The rub on Pitt in the past was that it was a gritty, defensive team that lacked an offensive flow. That couldn't be less applicable to this team.
Gray's size inside and his array of shots (post and face-up jumper), Cook's ability on the break, Ramon's and Graves' 3-point shooting, the power play of Young and the role play of Kendall, Benjamin and Fields (nine assists, two steals, two turnovers and three points) combine to make Pitt one of the toughest teams to match up with in the country.
The Panthers started with a statement here at West Point, and there's no reason to believe their season won't end with a similarly declarative mark deep into March -- or possibly even April.

Houma shooting suspect sought
Authorities are still looking for a 22-year-old they allege shot and killed a Houma man in his trailer last week.
Ron Pierre, 40, was found dead shortly after 8:30 p.m. at 133 Whispering Oaks Court, a trailer park along a small gravel road off East Main Street, Houma Police said. Jerome Jones, of Houma, is believed to have shot Pierre in a dispute over drugs.
A warrant has been issued for Jones' arrest on a first-degree murder charge.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 873-6371 or Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433.
Auditor to deliver report
The Lafourche Parish Council's newly hired legislative auditor is expected to report Tuesday on his progress at determining how much surplus money each local government board has.
Tommy Lasseigne, who the council hired last month, has been tasked to examine the finances of each parish government board.
Chairman Joe Fertitta, who gave him this assignment, has said he would like to see Lasseigne brief the council on the work he has been doing at the second meeting of every month.
Council members have said they are considering ways to tap that money to build a new jail or complete other parish projects.
The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. at the Mathews government complex, 4876 La. 1.
Area maintains low jobless rate
Houma-Thibodaux gained more than 4,500 jobs over the 12 months ending April 30 and continues to have the lowest unemployment rate among Louisiana's eight metro areas, new state figures show.
The area, comprised of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, gained more than 1,400 jobs in April, the Louisiana Workforce Commission reported.
March's jobless rate of 4.9 percent dropped to 4.4 percent in April and was at 5.1 percent a year earlier.
The local figures include non-farm jobs and are not adjusted for seasonal variations. April's jobless rate was 7.1 percent statewide and 8.1 percent nationally, unchanged from March.
The seasonally adjusted figures, though, revealed that overall the state's unemployment rate has risen since the start of the year.
Still, the number of people unemployed in Louisiana dipped slightly from March.
Sunday's story "Police's chief of detectives moves up the ranks" should have said Dana Coleman was promoted to lieutenant. Also, Coleman was appointed to chief of detectives in 2010.
