Oxford's Jewish community is enjoying a period of renewed success with services taking place daily for the first time in years.
The number of people davening at Oxford Jewish Congregation's Richmond Road synagogue traditionally drops in summer as students return to their home towns.
But the community has continued its daily minyanim with the help of University Jewish Chaplaincy's Rabbi Daniel Braune Friedman, who has co-ordinated an informal rota of male congregants.

The 20-year-old, from East Barnet, north London, was invited to audition for the job after a producer of the Welshman's show saw a clip of her on YouTube.
She describes her style as "jazzy, souly and funky with a modern twist".
Readers of our splash today - Chaos in Whitehall over counter-terrorism plans- may be interested to read more on the rift between ministers and civil servants in Andrew Gilligan's comment piece in this morning's Telegraph.
Gilligan claims the split is turning into a "massive Whitehall row" that could become as important to Britain as fixing the deficit.
The 20 million gallons of oil that have spilled into the Gulf of Mexico constitute one of the world's worst environmental disasters. For Jessica Cohen, however, it might prove to be the high point of her career so far.
Cohen, who is from Stanmore, has been working as a contractor for BP on pipeline projects in the Gulf since May. Her job started just a fortnight after the oil started to leak from BP's underwater well, costing the company an estimated £21 billion and chief executive Tony Hayward his job.
Crossbench peer Lord Hylton has called on the European Union to bar Israelis from entering Europe without a visa.
He tabled a motion asking for a House of Lords debate shortly before the summer recess, advocating a ban on Israeli goods being sold duty-free.
The motion calls for the Lords "to resolve that the EU should use its powers to prevent access to the EU without a visa by Israeli citizens and to remove duty-free access for Israeli goods if Israeli breaches of international law continue".
The Assembly of Masorti Synagogues has become a constituent member of the Jewish Leadership Council.
Masorti communities will be represented by the organisation's co-chair Bill Benjamin.
A former member of the JLC's commission on the future of Jewish schools, Mr Benjamin is also a trustee of JCoSS.
Vivian Wineman, JLC chairman, said: "We are delighted that Masorti has joined the JLC. This will further enhance the council's plurality and expand our organisational membership base."
Iranian-backed Press TV has been censured by Ofcom, the broadcasting standards body, for its coverage of the Gaza flotilla incident.
A show presented by Tony Blair's sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, breached guidelines on impartiality by including comments relating to Israel "committing a massacre of innocent civilians" and "a barbarous attack".
Listeners to a late-night radio phone-in got a shock when a man introduced as a Zionist Federation spokesman announced he could not discuss Shimon Peres's comments on British antisemitism because he was eating a toasted sandwich.
The imposter, pretending to be former ZF public affairs director Gavin Gross, failed to answer any questions about Mr Peres's remarks, saying he was too busy eating.
TalkSPORT presenter Adrian Goldberg, not realising he had been hoaxed, said the man's comments were "absolutely, utterly disgraceful" during Sunday's show.
The government is working to allay fears that its counter-extremism policy is floundering, three months after the coalition came to power.
Jewish leaders have expressed concern that not enough is being done to tackle the threat posed by extremists in Britain.
The Tories are thought to be ideologically split on the issue, with ministers also facing a backlash from civil servants opposed to Conservative policy.
So, the UN confirms that Israeli forces did not provoke yesterday's attack that left four people dead and the Jewish state and Lebanon once again on the precipice of war.
Milos Strugar, senior political adviser for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), confirmed the IDF was carrying out routine maintenance work "south of the international borderline," although on "the northern side of the border fence".
Ofcom, the broadcasting standards body, has ruled that Iranian-backed Press TV's coverage of the Gaza flotilla incident breached guidelines on impartiality.
The regulator said the station had not shown due impartiality during a broadcast on June 5 which dealt exclusively with the events surrounding the interception by Israeli commandos of the pro-Palestinian convoy off the coast of Gaza.
During an episode of current affairs show Remembering Palestine, presenter Lauren Booth discussed the flotilla with studio guests and participants of the convoy.
A rocket fired from Gaza has landed in a residential area of Ashkelon, causing damage to cars and buildings.
Around eight people have been treated for shock and minor injuries after the missile landed in the southern Israeli city at around 8.30am local time.
Prior to the explosion the city's rocket attack alarm was sounded.
The strike smashed windows in local buildings and damaged cars.
Ashkelon mayor Benny Vaknin told Israel Radio that the incident was "no doubt the most serious that has happened since Operation Cast Lead".
An interfaith forum debating the Gaza flotilla incident has been cancelled after Jewish communities expressed concerns that the event was "totally inappropriate" and would be a vehicle for anti-Israel sentiment.
The Building the Bridge (BtB) initiative in Bristol had been due to assess the flotilla's impact on religious groups in the city on Monday evening.
But it was cancelled after Jewish community leaders questioned the role of an interfaith organisation in debating the flotilla fallout.
The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities has said it "strongly objects" to proposals to allow the re-use of graves.
The Scottish Government is expected to back the deepening of burial sites, effectively giving the go-ahead to "double-deck" graves.
It is due to announce its plans next month following a lengthy consultation into solving the increasing difficulty of securing burial space.
I was surprised to see a letter in this week's edition of the JC from Seph Brown, currently a volunteer working on Ed Miliband's Labour leadership campaign.
Not that there is anything wrong with Mr Brown writing to air his views – he's very welcome to, but perhaps he should get his facts right first.
He writes following a news story we carried a fortnight ago about his new job in Mr Miliband's office.
In his letter he states:
A bereaved son has described his frustration after an unsuccessful three-year battle to have his mother's body moved from a Christian cemetery to a Jewish resting place.
Eugene Linder's late mother, Biba Skodnik, is buried in Finland. He has pleaded with the country's Prime Minister and President to allow him to reinter her in Switzerland, where his family now lives.
But despite the assistance of London-based Rabbi Aba Dunner of the Conference of European Rabbis, Mr Linder has failed to receive permission from the Finnish authorities to move her.
Israeli Arab Knesset members have launched a blistering attack on the Jewish state and its Parliament, declaring Israel "racist, fascist and worse than apartheid South Africa".
Speaking to supporters of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign at the House of Commons on Wednesday, MK Haneen Zoubi said: "Israel is much worse than the apartheid regime in South Africa. There were no ethnic cleansing policies there, but there are those policies in Israel."
Demand for entrance to the event was so great that supporters filled two committee rooms.
Arguments over alterations to the universal jurisdiction legislation have continued this week, despite the government's announcement of a proposal to change the law.
ustice Secretary Ken Clarke said the coalition would table a legislative amendment which will ensure the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is required before an arrest warrant can be issued, in response to a private prosecution for war crimes.
This would close the loophole which saw lawyers representing Palestinians secure such a warrant for Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni last December.

Slang term for relaxing or chilling. Typically used when talking or texting someone on a cell phone. The origin can be also based off a lazy friend who has the last name of jones, but it cannot be confirmed that he is a total piece of garbage.

Used in two senses. There is the aforementioned definition of jonesin for drugs but also another definition which is synonomous with chillin.
Hence jonesin is used as a verb in these two ways:
1."Spencer is jonesin for some pot."
2.What are you doing? "Sarah and I are just jonesin right now."

2.What are you doing? "Sarah and I are just jonesin right now."

Survivor stories: "There was 31 of us in a one-bedroom apartment"
class=img_thumbleft>Thirty-seven-year-old Quvandra Ballard lived in New Orleans her entire life. About seven years ago she settled into a house on Paris Avenue, located in New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood, with her kids and husband, 37-year-old Nolton Seaton. Her mom was only five blocks away. For five years the husband-and-wife team worked for the state of Louisiana archiving historical-home and real-estate info, most of which Ballard says is now destroyed. On the Sunday before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Ballard, along with her husband, stepfather, kids, and 61-year-old mother, JoAnn Ballard Taylor, fled the only home she had ever known for her cousin's one-bedroom apartment in Houston. For nearly two weeks they slept on blow-up mattresses alongside 30 other family members who evacuated from New Orleans. There, Ballard met up with cousins and uncles who were holed up in the Superdome for days without food and water. Last weekend, Ballard's brother, Quinton, a St. Thomas graduate who lives in Eagan and works at a Lexus dealership, sent for his mother and sister and her family. They gathered the few belongings they had from the Houston apartment, rode the train for almost two days, and arrived in Minneapolis on Monday.
Quvandra Ballard: We're from the Gentilly area. On the news, they were showing my area on TV. It's all under water. They showed my daughter's school, which is mile from my house. All we could see was the top of her building. It was all under water. It was just devastating that this can happen. I've lived there all my life, 37 years. It was just very devastating for me and my daughter, who's 13-years-old, to look at it on the news. She was looking at it and crying.
We were able to get out before the flood. We didn't have to experience the horror and trauma that was going on in the Superdome. I had family members that witnessed killing and a lot of raping going on. My cousin, her name is Daisy, she was in it. I have three uncles that were there and two girl cousins that were there. They were telling us their stories and crying. The was, like, the last ones to get out. They experienced a lot.
The last ones that got out, they were really destroyed. My uncle, when he did make it to Houston and he told us his story, I was just so glad I didn't have to witness the things he did. He said there was no help. It was very hot in that dome. They had water leakage because of the opening, so they had to hurry and move everyone to one side. Thousands of people in there. You couldn't sleep, because people were stealing your stuff, going through your pockets. You had to keep one eye open, one closed.
As they were bussing some of the people out, it was so hot in there, and they had to get them all out, so they were all hanging out on the ramp that goes into the Superdome. They were giving them hot water, which they couldn't keep cold anyway. The little supplies that were coming in, people were taking it and not sharing. He said he saw people dying, just giving up. Elderly people dying. Raping was going on. He did witness two killings. One guy jumped over the banister in the Superdome; he killed himself. The help just did not come. Everyone was just so frustrated they were sitting there for all those days with no help. People couldn't get to their medicine. He said the smell was just awful.
When he was in the canoe, trying to get to the Superdome, he said he was rowing past bodies that had blown up that was in the water. He didn't get to the dome right away. This was while they were just trying to get to the dome.
I had a friend that died in the water. The rescue people tried to pick her up from her roof. Whatever they use to pick them up, they said she slipped through trying to carry her up. She drowned. I don't know what happened with that. I don't know if she was afraid and let go or what. She was in her house for three or four days.
After the storm, we wound up in Houston. We got out on Sunday evening before the storm. There was 31 of us in a one-bedroom apartment. We had to make-do. Getting out [of New Orleans] was not really getting out. We were moving at an inch at a time. It was very slow-paced.
I have a little cousin that lives in Houston. He's in school. He let us stay with him. There were 31 of us in his apartment from New Orleans--all family. He took all the appliances, all the furniture out. There were just mattresses all over the floor, the living room and dining room.
JoAnn Ballard Taylor: The sleeping arrangements, we went to Wal-Mart and bought those mattresses that blow up. We had king-size, and medium, and whatever else. [My nephew] was really wonderful. He let us keep his bed for my husband and I. My husband had a stroke last year. He's in Virginia right now with his daughter so I can get medical care. Quvandra Ballard: My mom's a diabetic. Her left small toe was amputated. She hit her small toe on her right foot, and they need to look at it. We didn't have any way to get around in Houston, so it was really hard for us to get medical attention for her and [my mom's husband.] That really put a toll on us. He needs help around the clock. He's paralyzed on one side.
Someone gave us a free plane ticket, I don't know him personally, but he knew that we needed help. We knew that getting my mom's husband to Virginia was the most important. My mom is going to try to get herself together and send for him, so she can take care of him. They're going to stay here in Minnesota.
Before the storm came, we were trying to see if we should leave or not. There wasn't a mandatory evacuation at first. When we saw it looking really bad, we decided to leave. We just grabbed what we could. All we were able to grab was what was hanging around, some jeans and a shirt, stuff like that. We grabbed some covers and pillows, to ride in the car and just in case we need it in shelters. We actually thought that we would be able to come back home like we do for every other storm. But this was category five; this was a different story. They kept predicting it every year, but it never happened.
My mom was in Hurricane Betsy. She was on top of her house. I was like, really? I just couldn't see that. But now I really see it.
So now we're in Minnesota. I come here to visit once in every blue moon. Last December I was here for four days. And now I'm here to make it my home.

@cooljammer00: As Rorie said above, official communication on this issue is supposed to go via people far higher up the CBSi food chain. That'll be the primary reason why the issue has been avoided on livestreams and such.
Also, this guy seems to be primarily doing this for the attention. He's not doing anything overly malicious. Everything he has done can be reversed relatively easily. Bans can be reversed. Wiki page deletions can be reversed. Comments about the size of Rories penis can be deleted. It makes for a good show when you're watching it unfold, but it's still just a show. Anyways my point is this - if he's primarily doing it for attention, we should avoid giving him that attention.
Like people who jump the barricade at wrestling shows, or streakers at baseball games.

Thanks Linda for making my Easter dinner table a little more prettier. I chose to do this layered salad in a trifle bowl to show off all the colorful layers of salad. I chose celery, tomatoes, cucumber, boiled eggs, parmesan cheese and two kinds of shredded cheese. The skys the limit for what all you could put into this wonderful salad. I chose all things I knew my extended family would enjoy. I should also mention I used one bag of already cut up Hearts of Romaine lettuce:-) Made for 123Hits.~
I love layered salads! This was so good, although I did make a few changes. I left out the tomato(I didn't have enough), didn't cook the frozen peas, and used scallions with the red onion. I also left out the Parmesan. I took this to a church potluck and everyone loved it. There was none left to take home. Thanks! Made for the New Cookbooks tag game.

Action recognition and pose estimation are two closely related topics in understanding human body movements; information from one task can be leveraged to assist the other, yet the two are often treated separately. We present here a framework for coupled action recognition and pose estimation by formulating pose estimation as an optimization over a set of action-specific manifolds. The framework allows for integration of a 2D appearance-based action recognition system as a prior for 3D pose estimation and for refinement of the action labels using relational pose features based on the extracted 3D poses. Our experiments show that our pose estimation system is able to estimate body poses with high degrees of freedom using very few particles and can achieve state-of-the-art results on the HumanEva-II benchmark. We also thoroughly investigate the impact of pose estimation and action recognition accuracy on each other on the challenging TUM kitchen dataset. We demonstrate not only the feasibility of using extracted 3D poses for action recognition, but also improved performance in comparison to action recognition using low-level appearance features.

The Applanix APX-15 UAV is a GNSS-Inertial OEM solution designed to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of mapping from small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Comprised of a small single OEM board containing a precision GNSS receiver and inertial sensor components plus post-mission Differential GNSS-Inertial office software, the Applanix APX-15 UAV eliminates the need to survey extensive Ground Control Points (GCP's), and reduces the amount of sidelap to be flown, thus increasing the area flown per mission.
Measuring just 6 cm x 6.7 cm and weighing only 60 grams, the Applanix APX-15 UAV provides unparalleled performance in an extremely small package. And with the included POSPac UAV post-mission software, it produces a highly accurate position and orientation solution for direct georeferencing of cameras, LIDARs and other UAS sensors.
To enable customers to derive maximum value from APX-15 UAV, Applanix has introduced SmartBase Cloud. SmartBase is the versatile and efficient virtual base station tool that has previously only been available with a full POSPac MMS subscription: now, for the first time, it is available as a web service at www.applanixsmartbase.com
SmartBase Cloud generates a set of observations for a virtual base station exactly where and when you need it, and emails it to your inbox ready for differential GNSS processing within TBC or using any other standard post-processing package. By combining and interpolating data from multiple CORS base stations, SmartBase improves the accuracy of post-processed DGNSS over using a single CORS station, and saves the cost and hassle of setting up and logging data from your own GNSS base station.

All four adults riding a quadbike that crashed in Hawke's
Bay, leaving a 6-year-old girl seriously injured, could be
charged if they won't reveal who was driving, police say.
Ashlee Shorrock remains in a stable condition at Starship
children's hospital in Auckland after the crash at Waimarama
Beach shortly before midnight on January 2 but none of the
adults involved has told police who was at the wheel.
"If we were unable to establish who was actually driving
they'll all be charged," Senior Sergeant Fred van Duuren of
Hawke's Bay police said today.
"There is case law that if you're unable to show who was
driving then you can obtain blood from everybody who's
suspected of being a driver," he said.
Police have taken blood samples from each of the four adults
involved to test for traces of drugs and alcohol.
They previously said the types of injuries suffered by people
in crashes could often help determine where they were
positioned in a vehicle, and who was driving.
The crash was one of a spate of quadbike incidents over the
Christmas holiday period ending in death and injury that led
to renewed calls for better safety around bike use.

We provide quality care and treatment in a safe and secure, nurturing environment while preparing wildlife for release into their natural habitat. We need your financial support to do this. There are multiple ways of donating (money, supplies, time)....
FHSARR is a volunteer run organization. We count on YOU to make what we do possible. Learn more about the organization, work alongside like-minded people, and witness first-hand the satisfaction of a successful rehabilitation!
FHSARR is dedicated to the preservation of orphaned or injured animals by providing quality care and treatment in a safe and secure, nurturing environment while preparing them for release into their natural habitat. Read more about us...
A Message from David & Claudia Supensky...
Washington State is known for its wildlife! To preserve these animals the State and the Federal government have laws to assist in this effort, but laws can't do everything to protect the creatures that have learned to live in a diminished habitat brought about by human growth and development. That is why there are special organizations such as For Heaven's Sake Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation (FHSARR). Please click on our Sponsor's page to help an animal in need. We would greatly appreciate it!
Every year many animals are injured or orphaned and need to be rescued and cared for so they can return to their natural environment. These are wild animals that are not to be kept as "pets" but to live in their natural habitat so we can continue to appreciate their existence. American history is filled with how our survival depended on the abundant wildlife that could be hunted and trapped for food and clothing. Today people do most of their "hunting" for food in a grocery store and for clothing in a department store, and hunting has become a sport that by law is controlled to conserve our wildlife. Consequently, there is a greater need to join the people who care about our wonderful community of wildlife so we can continue to enjoy them, learn about them, and care for the injured and orphaned. We believe wildlife to be part of God's creation and therefore, important and valuable.
FHSARR is licensed by the State and the Federal governments (WDFW and USFW) to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife under specific guidelines, laws, and within our capabilities and resources. Some of the more common animals we temporarily help are squirrels, rabbits, fawn, porcupine, waterfowl, and birds - especially in Spring. We also help fox, opossum, coyotes, and other wildlife in need. We have to know what and how to feed them, and when they are injured, how to treat them. We work with local veterinarians to help us and treat what is beyond our capability. Every animal presents different challenges. Various animals require different diets and different milk formulas for babies as well as diverse foods for adults. There are a variety of diseases and some animals, such as raccoon, require different handling practices and precautions in order to protect humans and other animals. Cages and enclosures must be made from different materials depending on the type animal and the sanitation required. For example, we would never put a raccoon in a wooden cage because the cage cannot be sanitized properly to destroy raccoon roundworm. There is more to rehabilitating wildlife than is known by most of the general public…there is more than just love for animals. Currently, we do not have the facility (caging and treatment area) for raccoon and skunk due to their special needs. We hope to add this in the future.
As a non-profit organization, we seek donations and volunteers. Rescue and rehabilitation can be costly and time consuming. The rewards are great when we are successful in getting an injured or orphaned animal healthy and able to return to its natural environment. It is our mission to provide quality care and treatment in a safe and secure, nurturing environment while preparing wildlife for release into their natural habitat. As a volunteer at FHSARR, you will learn to practice proper precautions for yourself and animals. We seriously require volunteers to follow the protocol for each animal and the facility in general because it can be dangerous to you, others, and the animals if protocols are not followed. Volunteers are provided detailed instructions on what has to be done for successful rehabilitation and the safety of all. Please read more about volunteering within our site.
For heaven's sake ….we care for wildlife! We will continue to do so under established laws and guidelines in Washington and with caring compassion in the best interest of every creature entrusted to our care.
David and Claudia

Films depict real, raw role of clergy interacting with community
In addition to his earnest compassion, another trait of Reinke's that impressed Moss was his constant self-assessment of whether he was doing the right thing, why was he doing it and whether he was being true to himself, his family and congregation.
"There was some mystery to motivations," Moss said. "But his healthy self-questioning to me was an indication that there was really more to him as a person, that he was really struggling with (his motives) as a person and the attendant costs on his personal life was clear."
Reinke is remarkably candid sharing his innermost thoughts with Moss about what the turn of events has done to his family and himself.
"The private me distances myself from the public me," Reinke confides. "I can believe the public me because sometimes it looks very good. But the private me has become something else."
In the drama "Calvary," also premiering at Sundance, a Catholic priest in an Irish village has his life threatened during a confession. In the days following, as Father James tends to the spiritual needs of his parishioners and visitors, he contemplates who his would-be killer could be and begins to question his own commitment to his vocation.
And in the Polish drama "Ida," an orphan raised in a convent, discovers her disturbing family history and wonders whether she is ready to take her vows to become a Catholic nun.
"Any clergy member who is being honest would say that they wrestle with fundamental issues of doubt," Callaway said. "It's not just should I care for poor people and the outcasts, but do I believe in the stuff that I am saying? That's a real thing that is very hard to say in church contexts when you're the leader and people are putting you on this pedestal."
The spiritual journeys and outcomes of the faith leaders in all three films are grim, graphic (in the dramatic feature films) and surprising. Callaway acknowledges that it may be disturbing for some to watch a film where spiritual leaders struggle, walk away from it all or act against their better judgment.
"I find it refreshing," he said. "I find it hopeful and a good model for anybody interested in a conversation on faith and how that impacts your life."
Different kind of priest
Callaway speculates that the reason people don't find clergy as a central character with the strengths and weaknesses of anyone else in major motion pictures is because the general audience isn't interested.
"My gut tells me it's the same problems that besets our public conversation about anything," he said. "There is no real space for thoughtful, well-rounded, moderate views to be espoused or considered because they don't sell, they don't make good sound bites."
John Michael McDonagh, director of "Calvary," said he wanted to portray a different kind of priest than what he had seen in other films: "I wanted to do something about a good priest ... someone trying to do good and do the right thing," he said.
Father James in "Calvary" is also widower who joined the priesthood after his wife dies and his daughter visits him after a suicide attempt.
"I chose someone who had a full life and I think that made him a better priest," McDonagh said. "Without experiences of life you can't be speaking the truth and I would think what you tell people you would be guessing most of the time."
Callaway said that unlike Hollywood there is more room for exploring authentic characters like a self-doubting religious leader in independent cinema, like that showcased at Sundance.
"There is an openness in independent films to seeing these people as they really are that you don't always get in movies that just have to be profitable," he said.

This plugin, although not updated for years, I still found it to be the best solution for writing HTML/PHP code into posts/pages/widgets. I have tried many other solutions, but none stands out as this. The only reasons I haven't rated it 5 stars are:
- It has not been updated for ages (although it works), and,
- Because of the annoying alert that appears at top of all admin pages. This alert should have an option to turn off globally and not for each profile individually.

By Roland LangfordApril 20, 2010
RED CLOUD GARRISON - Recently, the Environmental Division of the Directorate of Public Works received an anonymous negative Interactive Customer Evaluation comment wondering why Area I does not recycle in this age of environmentalism.
The writer was concerned that many wastes should be reused. However, Red Cloud Garrison, Camps Hovey, Jackson, Castle, and Stanley do recycle, but it is not visible to most people.
All administrative, commercial, and residential wastes generated on the Army posts are picked up by a Korean contractor, who sorts the wastes at their facility for recycling. This sorting into the various categories required by Korean law and regulation, such as metals, plastics, glass, and paper is part of the waste contract. In fact, the recycling makes the contract much more cost efficient to the U.S. government since the waste contractor receives money for the recyclable materials and can then bid a smaller cost for the waste pick-up service. It is estimated that the waste contract costs about 20 percent less because of the recycling.
Even if we were to establish numerous waste bins to segregate recyclable materials at the point of waste generation, in what is known as 'source separation', we would still need people to verify that the wastes are properly categorized and separated, as well as needing multi-compartment trucks.
Our current contract includes this service, at a cost savings to us. In addition, compliance with the Korean regulations can be complex, so we rely on our licensed contractor to make the decisions as to what can be recycled and under which category.
In addition to ordinary waste, hazardous wastes are also handled by a different licensed contractor. The contractor picks up hazardous wastes and materials, including petroleum, oil, lubricants, battery electrolyte, vehicle batteries, antifreeze, light bulbs, paints, chemicals, and metals for recycling. The POL and other materials are sold through the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office for recycling at commercial activities; the antifreeze is recycled and returned to the HAZMART located on Camp Castle North for free distribution to unit motor pools.
So, the answer to the writer of the ICE comment is: "we do recycle here." It is a very efficient program, but there are plans to expand the program to include separation of clean office paper from other wastes.

I want to setup my blog (WP using Smarty tags) so that I have one post on the home page -- the latest post. That much I can do easy. But I want any comments posted in response to that post to also show up on the home page.
Is there a way I can do that somehow?
I tried various tactics but nothing seems to work.
My content is displayed via the index.html template where there is a {$content} tag. I tried using an include statement to include the comments.html file, and it gets included all right but it won't show the user comments.
Is there some way to use Smarty or inline PHP to get all the comments and display them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Sarah Palin says much of the fuss over
the $150,000 worth of designer clothes, hairstyling and accessories
the Republican Party bought her is being generated by her gender.
She tells the Chicago Tribune a double standard exists.
She also says the clothes aren't worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention.
Palin says, in fact, most of the clothes have never left the campaign plane and that the whole story isn't being told.
When asked about the purchases on Thursday, Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain maintained they were bought because
Palin needed clothes, and that they'd be donated to charity after
the election.

Colozza's Bakery did our wedding cake and it was absolutely amazing. It looked just the way we wanted it and tasted amazing! The price was so reasonable and everyone that works there is Awesome and so helpful. I highly recommend them.
Our cake was absolutely perfect! Colozza's brought my cake vision to life and he matched our colors perfectly. Not to mention, the cassata cake was absolutely delicious! Price was also reasonable. Highly recommend this bakery and will definitely come back for other occasions!
I would highly recommend Colozza's Bakery. The cake looked EXACTLY how I pictured it. The design was fantastic and I loved the unique shape. We chose two different flavors and it was delicious. The price was affordable and he didn't nickle and dime us for every extra thing like... Read More some other vendors wanted to (designs, more than one flavor, fillings, etc). I am very pleased that we chose Colozza's for our big day.
I would highly recommend going with Colozza's for your wedding cake. Our cake turned out beautifully - just as I had described it to them. They were very accommodating to work with and reasonably priced. Best of all, the cake was delicious!!! - Melissa G.
Delicious!Reviewed on 8/25/2014 Trisha F
From the start, the staff at Colozza's were very helpful and knowledgeable about their products. They are very friendly! They did an amazing job decorating the cake as well! The flavors were out of this world! I recommend the cassata cake. Also, their kolaczkis are amazing too!
The Cleveland cake boss...Reviewed on 6/09/2013 Ashley M
The cake itself was wonderful (taste, decoration and display) but the staff was not the easiest to work with. First off, even if you call in and ask someone about a cake tasting…they are not really existent. We called and asked if/and when we could come in to try some cakes and... Read More were told that a Saturday morning would be best. When we showed up, they had no clue what we wanted to taste and only had the options of what was made that day or the day before. Secondly, the "cake boss" is standoffish and gives everyone in the store (including guests just coming in to buy bakery good) attitude when he does not understand what they want or when asked if there are more than 3 flavors to try. Lastly, we had to tell the "cake boss'" wife 4 different times (3 times in one day… also the 3rd time we came into the store) what we wanted our cake to look like, the flavors for the different layers (we only had two different flavors) and what cake stand we wanted to rent. This information was written down the 2nd time we came into the store to give them our deposit but it got lost somehow. However, they did work with us to make our cake look exactly like a picture I had found and it truly was beautiful. Also, the price was amazing for all of the work and the amount of cake!
Amazing Cake, great valueReviewed on 4/03/2013 Bethany P
My mother used to take me to this bakery when I was a little girl, so when I was planning my wedding it was at the top of my list for places to get the wedding cake. Everything about this place was great. The cake was delicious, the price was fantastic, and it was beautiful.... Read More The owner of the bakery himself met with us and delivered my cake the day of the wedding. I got a delicious 3 layer, fruit filling cake for 150 people for less than 500 dollars-something you won't find at many bakeries. They have tons of flavors available, and will work with you on whatever design you want. This may be a little out of your way, but for a delicious beautiful cake that's reasonably priced, go here!
Seriously, best cake ever.Reviewed on 12/12/2012 Abigail B
My family has been going to Colozza's bakery for over 30 years, so they're like family to me. They've done all of my sibling's wedding cakes and when they did mine it was absolutely beautiful. Go to Colozza's bakery, you will never be disappointed!
GREATReviewed on 10/23/2012 Jessica L
This Company is a family owned bakery that let us customize our cake. Their bakery is amazing and their cassatta cake is great. This is place was amazing and I would tell anyone to go to them if you want to be happy with your cake.
To die for!Reviewed on 10/16/2012 Michelle C
This bakery's cakes are AMAZING. I had a three tiered wedding cake with a different flavor on each tier. One was white/chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse and raspberry filling, one was chocolate cake with cannoli filling and my favorite was the yellow cake with lemon... Read More mousse and lemon filling...I can't tell you how good it was...
So-SoReviewed on 9/04/2012 Ashley S
I exchanged emails with Colozza's Bakery about 2 weeks before we were scheduled to do our cake testing. We discussed 3 different flavors of cake we were looking foward to trying. Upon arriving at the testing, they did not have those flavors ready for us as we had thought. We did... Read More end up using them, and gave them a color swatch we wanted for our ONLY color on the cake. They were very certain they could match our seafoam color. Upon delivery of the cake, it was not the color we had hoped for what so ever. The color was not even close to what we had given them, it was much too green and extremely dark. My husband to be was not happy at all considering we had an extremely plain cake in comparison to what they had in their bakery. The cake was yummy, but please be aware if you want a certain color, you may not get it.
Wedding CakeReviewed on 9/03/2012 Jill M
Overall we were very happy with our wedding cake from Colozza's. The owner was super friendly and easy to work with and the prices were reasonable. Not to mention that the cake tasted amazing and we got tons of compliments from our guests. I did take in a picture of what I... Read More wanted so I was a little surprised when the cake looked a little different than what I had pictured it would but none the less it was still amazing so I would definitely recommend them to any other bride and groom. The flavors we ordered were the raspberry cassatta and the chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse. Both of which were delicious!
Delicious!Reviewed on 8/16/2012 cassie f
We got the raspberry truffle and cassata cake! It was so good. Everyone is still talking about it. And the workers are wonderful as well. And it didnt hurt that the cake itself was beautiful!
Wedding Cake & CookiesReviewed on 8/08/2012 Karin B
Incredible bakery - family owned & operated. They did a great job working with us to provide our guests with two flavors of cake and a variety of cookies to choose from! The cost was around $800, but that was enough cake for 200 people plus 6 cookie trays.
Beautiful CakeReviewed on 7/03/2012 Liz C
They made me the perfect cake. I had called and went to see 5 otehr cake places and no one could do what i wanted. They made it completely beautiful and perfect. It fit in with our wedding theme. not the mention they taste was absolutely delicious. We did the Cassatta!
A little disappointing.Reviewed on 1/24/2012 Sarah L
The look of the cake was a little disappointing. We had a smaller cake, only three tiers, yet it was tilting over and there were several large lumps on the side of one of the tiers. The script design on the cake was also different than what we had discussed. Aside from this... Read More the cake tasted great. We had gotten two flavors and they both were very tasty. Our guests also enjoyed the cake. Maybe we just got unlucky and the design was wrong, usually they do pretty good work. For us it came down to the taste so although I was a little upset about the way it looked, in the end it still tasted great!
Love Colozza's!Reviewed on 12/30/2011 Gina C
Colozza's is an amazing Italian bakery in ethnic Parma, Ohio. When it came time for my wedding, there was no other choice of where to go. My then-fiance had never been to Colozza's when we went to do our cake tasting. And as coincidence would have it, we had just been to... Read More a wedding the night before where both the food and the cake were just 'okay'. Well that actually set the stage perfectly for Colozza's. With the first bite of their Strawberry Cassata cake, my then-fiance was sold. He was amazed at how good the cake tasted and said that's what cake should taste like. For our wedding cake, we chose their Strawberry Cassata cake and their Lemon cake. We got countless compliments from guests about the cake, and we ourselves loved it too. It was decorated perfectly and tasted amazing.
cakeReviewed on 9/17/2011 Amanda W
Colozza's was great. I'm not a huge fan of cake, and even I liked the cake they made for us. It was adorable, exactly how I wanted it to look, and they did it with only two month's notice. Thank you!
Amazing cake- excellent pricing!!!Reviewed on 9/03/2011 Liz U
We ordered 2 different cakes from them for our wedding- a chocolate raspberry truffle cake and a cassata cake. Both of them tasted great, you could tell that they were made early that morning because of how FRESH they tasted! When we asked them how much it would cost we were... Read More floored- it costed a FRACTION of what other vendors charge! Everything was excellent, and all of our guests ate their cake because it was SO GOOD! I would definitely use them again!
Best Cassata Cake!Reviewed on 8/30/2011 christa g
I got a 3 tiered cake for my wedding from Colozza's to feed around 150. Everything was so easy from the beginning with them. Their Cassata cake is the best I've ever had and it was so affordable! They delivered the cake so that was one less thing I had to worry about. Loved... Read More them!
Awsome bakeryReviewed on 8/12/2011 heather l
I purchased my wedding cake from them- the cake was "to die for" They have very reasonable prices and all around a good family bakery.
Yumm!Reviewed on 2/24/2011 Diana R
Cake was gorgeous AND delicious. We are STILL eating leftovers! Service was excellent in the store and they delivered just what I had ordered. Only problem was that the cake had started to tilt once we got there. Other than that, it looked great and tasted good.
YUMReviewed on 9/28/2010 Mary W
My cake was FANTASTIC!!!! It turned out beautifully and was everything we imagined it would be. In addition it tasted amazing. Colozza's was great to work with and gave us exactly the cake we described to them. I would recommend them to anyone.
GreatReviewed on 10/01/2010 Megan H
I went into the bakery with 3 different pictures to put my one cake together! It was everything and more what I had expected. It was the most gorgeous wedding cake I have ever seen and it tasted just as amazing. I can not thank them enough they were just awesome!!!!
YummyReviewed on 11/11/2010 Jenny C
Best wedding cake in town and affordable. They did a great job. Highly recommend the raspberry truffle!

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- "I'm not bitter about it but I wouldn't have minded taking the day off."
That's the thought of many people on this holiday weekend that had to come back to work a day earlier than many across the area. Mellow Mushroom in downtown Bowling Green said business has been spiking so much this holiday weekend, extra staff is on hand ready for a crowd.
"We've got plenty of regular guests that would be calling me today wondering why our patio or bar wasn't open if they couldn't get in here to get a pizza or a beer," said manager, Derek Stone.
Across town at Minit Mart boaters gas up before hitting the lake, meaning someone has to be inside ready to help families prepare for the day outdoors.
"I wish I was out on the lake with everyone else, but It doesn't bother me. If I'm working, it lets some of our employees that work just as hard as me have a day off to go out and spend time with their families," said manager, Joshua Hoy.
While other shops were closed for the day, business as usual means an advantage for some on the holiday.
"Everyone else will be taking the day off. We'll see that surplus today, where everybody else will be losing a whole business day. I think it's definitely the smart move to be open today," added Stone.
Ultimately workers say the goal is to pay the bills and though many have the day off, those who clock in will have some extra cash.

Caritas together from all over Italy
By Ferruccio Ferrante, communications officer with Caritas Italy "Wherever you go, you'll find Caritas" was the name of Caritas Italy's conference which looked at issues surrounding migrants, young people, families, people facing life alone and those suffering from addictions. Over 600 people from 161 diocesan Caritas brought with them their own experiences of working with Caritas in Italy and went away having shared and gained greater knowledge and hope. In this time of difficulty when the crisis increases its grip, Caritas is by people's side all over Italy. In the first six months of 2012, requests for help from Caritas increased by 44.5% compared to the previous year. Caritas finds itself with a great responsibility: how to continue to accompany people in their difficulties. It's a responsibility that can't be passed over to someone else because each of us must be a champion of change for the common good. But how can we [...]
The poor and vulnerable side by side with Pope Francis
Caritas Rome provides accommodation through its shelters to poor and vulnerable individuals needing a place to sleep. Some people staying at the shelters have written the below letter to Pope Francis following Lenten reflections. The letter was presented to the Holy Father by the director of Caritas Rome, Msgr Enrico Feroci. Your Holiness, We are guests at Caritas shelters in Rome. Even though you have been Bishop of Rome for very little time, we feel a sense of respect and solidarity which makes us feel very close to you and gives us the impression that we've always known you. The choice of your name and what you say in your speeches which we have reflected on during Lent show us daily the essence of the Christian faith: that God is love. Our difficult situation allows us to know firsthand how important a gesture of solidarity can be and the comfort a hug or [...]
"Don't forget the poor"
By Michelle Hough 'Lady Poverty' was St Francis's bride and Pope Francis has put the need for commitment to the poor up front and centre from the very beginning of his pontificate. After two days of voting, white smoke puffed out of the tiny chimney above St Peter's Square on 13th March 2013. The man who came out on the massive balcony in front of St Peter's basilica as the new Pope was unknown to many outside of his native Argentina. The new Pope Francis is a man who visited slums and rode on buses. He is a man who refused the fur-trimmed cloak, red leather shoes and gold cross worn by previous Popes. He is a man of startling simplicity. The Pope spoke to the crowd that night in his role as Bishop of Rome and protector of the poor: "And now let us begin this journey, bishop and people, this journey [...]

Hi! First of all, nice theme, thanks!
One question regarding a header image: what would it take modify theme to have a header image, a bit like on the [url=http://pohjois-tapiola.com/lukio/]demo site[/url}, really.
Would CSS be enough or is there need for some modifications on template files? I've learned basics onboth (CSS & PHP), but a little nudge on the right direction would go a long way. :)

Is there a way to accomplish this? I don't want to put wordpress my my top level directory, because I want http://mydomain.com to have a static webpage.
