Tokyo deserves to host the 2020 Summer Olympics so that it can show the world how Japan has recovered since 2011's earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Wednesday.
Hosting a dinner for a team from the International Olympic Committee that is evaluating Tokyo's bid for the 2020 Games, Abe said: "Japan has its narrative that inspires many. That's why we hope Tokyo will be chosen.
"It is about the disasters we endured, the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear failure. But it is also about the revitalisation," he said.
Abe, 58, who quit as premier in 2007 for health reasons, was reelected last December as his conservative party swept back to power.
"The compassion, courage and calmness of those (disaster) victims pushed me to stand again," he said.
"My hope was that by doing so I could tell the nation that anyone deserves a second chance," he said. "That's the powerful message that Tokyo 2020 can send to the whole world."
The Tokyo bid committee has plans to carry the Olympic torch through the disaster zone and stage preliminary Olympic football matches there.
Abe also said Tokyo deserves the Games as the capital of a sports-loving nation which boasts many world-record holders.
The dinner at the Akasaka Palace official guest house was attended by the 14-member team from the IOC evaluation commission and 39 Japanese guests including Princess Takamado, government ministers and medallists from last year's London Olympics and Paralympics.
On Thursday, the team, led by Britain's IOC vice president Craig Reedie, will wind up its four-day tour in which it has scrutinised Tokyo's Olympic blueprint and inspected its existing and planned facilities for 2020.
They will visit rival candidates Madrid and Istanbul later this month and draw up a report on the three bids by July for the 101 IOC members to choose the 2020 host on September 7.
In a presentation on Wednesday, the Tokyo bid committee told the panel that Tokyo's transport networks would easily be good enough to host the 2020 Olympics.
"We won't build anything in particular for the Olympics," an urban planning expert told a news conference after briefing the team on Tokyo's transportation plan.
"I explained that transport facilities, being steadily built under Tokyo's various long-term plans, will fully satisfy demand related to the Olympics," said Takayuki Kishii, a professor of engineering at Tokyo's Nihon University.
He said three new ring roads in the capital will be almost completed in a few years and a projected motorway will run by a waterfront site for the athletes' village.
Infrastructure is seen as a major factor in the selection of Olympic hosts.
The IOC gave the 2016 Summer Games to Rio de Janeiro, making it the first South American Olympic host, but the Brazilian city is said to have been slow in finalising Olympic projects.
Tokyo is the only one of the three 2020 candidates to have previously hosted the Summer Games, in 1964.

The introvert focuses his or her energy mainly in the internal world and is usually quiet, contemplative, and shy. You can find both extroverted and introverted physicians. Sensing versus intuition is the second criterion.
It focuses on how a person perceives information. If you're a sensing person, you generally believe the information you receive is from the world around you. If you're intuitive, you believe information you receive is from the internal or imaginative world.
Most physicians are more sensing than intuitive. The third criterion is thinking versus feeling, which looks at how new information is processed. A thinking person makes a decision using logic. A feeling person makes a decision based on emotion.
Because most physicians fall within the "thinking†category, this can be a common area of conflict when patients are feeling people. The last personality criterion looks at what a person does with the information he or she has.
A judging person organizes the information, formulates plans, and acts on the plans. A perceiving person is more inclined to improvise and seek alternatives. Once again, physicians usually fall into the judging category. It's the different combinations of these above four criteria that determine personality type.
When you're considering the affability of a potential new doctor, you need to think about the type of personalities you like to be around given your own personality. With that said, personality types shouldn't be the most important thing because most of us can get along with others, even if they're different.

The updates just havent worked out for me and i want to downgrade I restrore the backup on my hosting and still show the updates.
I have exactly the same issue
Please help!
To downgrade to WordPress 3.4.1
May be did not finish update properly as is only a security update you can using ftp replace all files and folders except wp -content and wp-config.php file
Thanx Chris, works perfectly now.
"Backup your wp-content directory and your wp-config.php file."
I did back up database with Portable phpMyAdmin - is that took care of what you've said above? I'd appreciate if you could give me a detail step by step how to downgrade as I'm very nervous deleting file. your(Chris') comment from 5days ago is completely foreign to me - don't understand really any of it, please help beginners.(I was using older version and fine until upgraded to 3.4.2, then on one category, I got
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function ciii_category_image"
please someone help, thank you
Maybe not necessary step 3a. delete wp-config-simple.php
Deleting wp-config-simple.php is not going make any difference is never used once the wp-config.php file is created
backup database if you not had backup
All you need to do download 3.4.1 from here http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ and unzip on your computer using ftp replace all files and folders except wp-content folder and wp-config.php file
In 3.4.1, i had several plugs such as redirection, etc working. When I upgraded to 3.4.2, all of my plugins disappeared! What happened to them?
The plugins are in the "plugins" folder but try as hard as I can, i can't get them to "activate". Help!
Please start your own post. Your problem has nothing to do with the original post.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Elizabeth, director Shekhar Kapur's grim and dingy film from 1998, is viewed in retrospect as the origin story of a superhero: the Armored Virgin Queen, faster than a speeding lead pellet, more powerful than a Spanish Armada, able to leap the Tower of London in a single bound. But fear not: Even if you recall little of your history texts, or the film nominated for a fistful of Oscars in a previous millennium, Elizabeth: The Golden Age demands only your loyalty to high-brow camp masquerading as a history lesson soapier than any bottle of detergent. Kapur revisits Elizabeth, once more played by Cate Blanchett beneath towering wigs and a deathly pale visage, some 30 years after her ascendancy to the throne. Only now, England is on the brink of war with Spain's King Philip II (Jordi Molla), who wants England reclaimed as a Catholic stronghold under the rule of Mary Queen of Scots (Samantha Morton). As though any of that matters: The audience should have a very hard time taking too seriously a film in which Clive Owen, as Sir Walter Raleigh dressed in baggy pantaloons, dangles like a romance-novel cover boy from a ship's mast while the ocean laps him like a faithful hound. The Golden Age commingles accepted fact, acknowledged fiction, and wild-ass myth to the point where it's often nothing more than a Fractured Fairy Tale. Blanchett, Owen, and Geoffrey Rush (who returns as Sir Francis Walsingham, the queen's right-hand man) play it so straight you're even more tempted to laugh out loud at every other scene—this is really Rocky Horror Picture Show territory. But, really, you must do the time warp again.

The Village Golf Club showcases challenging twists and turns on three distinct nine-hole courses that can be played separately or paired interchangeably for an 18-hole round. Throughout the entire 27-hole complex, ill-struck shots may stray into the sinister clutches of mature trees and ponds that haunt the fairways. The two less difficult nine-hole layouts—Winged Foot and Thunderbird—demand accurate pitches, chips, and putts onto the surface of recently renovated putting surfaces. The Rolling Hills course—the most challenging of the tee-to-green triad—demands a brave tee shot on its 157-yard par 3 third hole, which features a breathtaking island green.
Golf balls rain onto the 300-yard landing zone of the onsite driving range, where golfers can prop balls up on all-natural grass tees or steer clear of territorial earthworms by warming up on artificial mats. After a day spent hunting pars, the Village Restaurant sates appetites with a menu of classic sandwiches, soups, and salads.

Wonderful! I had it without sweetener because I don't like sweetened coffee, and the flavors were delicious. Thanks for posting this!! Made for Comfort Cafe January 2010.
this is heaven in a cup! I love the taste of the fennel in here. I made mine with Splenda Brown sugar blend and added a bit more than 1 tsp. Since I prefer my coffee with cream, I do add a splash of half and half. Definitely a keeper in my house! Thanks for sharing!
This is delicious! I love the fennel flavor with the cinnamon. I sweetened mine with a little honey. By using the French press pot, I didn't have to strain anything out. Thanks for a great cup of morning coffee! Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009.
Note: I made a double recipe in a 4 cup drip pot (makes 2 mugs), so the method may have affected the result. The fennel and brown sugar add nice notes but the cinnamon is TOO STRONG. I've got that semi-numb feeling on my tongue that you get if you chew on the cinnamon stick but without the pleasant fire of eating an atomic fireball jawbreaker or a handful of Red Hot candies.
This was a taste experience. I loved it. The flavor created by the fennel and cinnamon is delicious, light, spicy and warm. I added extra brown sugar and some 1% milk, which I strained away at the end of the simmering time, resulting in a deep, dark, golden, spicy, sweet coffee. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing.
I made this without the fennel seeds and added a tbsp of OJ. This was really delicious, and I loved that it was low cal/low fat. Made for Zaar 123 (4) Hit wonders tag.
Simply delicious. I'll admit to using anise seed in place of the fennel because it's what I had and I strained the seed out before pouring it into my cup. I added 1/2 tsp of Splenda Brown sugar but found that I wanted it a bit sweeter. I kept the 2 cinnamon sticks in the cup though :D. It was pure delight.
Yummy Yummy Yummy! I made this coffee this morning after seeing the kids off to school! What a treat for my Monday morning! I did use your suggestion and used a tbls of orange juice and I absolultely LOVED this coffee! I used honey too for the sweetener and it just was a smooth tasting coffee. Wanted to say I used the coffee I already had brewed too - perfect! Thanks for sharing. So glad I tagged this in 1.2.3 Hit Wonders.
I tired your suggestion & left out the fennel seeds (didn't have any) & added 1 tbsp of orange juice. The result was very tasty. Thanks for a great recipe. Made for 123 HITS

Rin sat staring in front of her laptop screen. The video she'd watched had just come to an end and her mind was racing. Was it truly possible? Could you really have control over someone like that?
"I've got to try this!" she squealed. Rubbing her hands together, she stood up and grinned deviously.
Before she left her bedroom she rummaged through her jewellery box and pulled out a necklace. The beads were sphere shaped and went in a black and white pattern. She shrugged her shoulders and muttered, "Ah, close enough." Holding the beads tightly she made her way downstairs.
Everyone was out of the Vocaloid household except Miku, Luka, Len and herself. Most of them had gone shopping, for the fridge was almost empty. It was fairly quiet apart from girly giggles coming from Luka's room. They were watching a funny chick flick. Rin refused when Miku offered for her to join them because she didn't do chick flicks much. And anyway, she had something far more entertaining to do.
As Rin approached the living room her eyes fell on just the sight she'd expected. Len was sat on the sofa watching TV while peacefully munching on a banana. Trying to hold in her giggles, Rin clutched the necklace tighter as she slowly walked up behind Len.
"Oh, hey Rin," smiled Len as he looked up. "Whatcha do- AH!" Before he could do anything else, Rin pulled out his small ponytail and put the necklace around his neck. Purposely, she'd tangled it in his now loose hair. "What on earth?!" Len gasped. He tugged at the necklace, trying to take it off but yelped in pain as it pulled his hair. It was stuck.
"Len?" asked Rin as she walked around the sofa to face him. She had a devilish grin on her face.
"Y-yes?" stuttered Len with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Make me orange muffins, NOW!" she yelled. Rin LOVED orange flavoured muffins and her brother was a rather good cook.
"What? W-why?" Len looked confused.
Rin bent over and grabbed his shirt collar, lifting him slightly off the sofa. "Because I say so!" she snapped at him. Len stared at her for a few seconds and then started laughing. "What's funny?" asked Rin.
"Why should I do what you say? You don't have control over me!" chuckled Len.
"Oh, but I do." Rin smirked. She let go of Len's shirt and he fell back onto the sofa. She then linked her three back fingers of her right and left hand together. She poked her index fingers up in the air and kept her thumbs down low. She then shut her eyes and mumbled what sounded like a chant. Len was speechless. What the heck was she doing?
Rin opened her eyes and said, "Now, I'll give you one more chance. Make me orange muffins."
Len smirked up at his sister and he leaned forward. "No," was his simple answer.
"Right," sniggered Rin. She grabbed Len's hands and yanked him off the sofa so he was stood up. "You've asked for it." She moved out of Len's way, pointed at him with one hand with the other on her hip and yelled, "SIT BOY!"
The look of shock upon Len's face slowly turned into a grin. "Honestly Rin, what are you like? Those are NOT enchanted beads and I am NOT Inu-"
This time an unsuspecting Len actually went flying and landed flat on his face. "Fwat u ell?" groaned Len who sounded slightly muffled.
"Told you. Now make me orange muffins! I'm going upstairs and if they're not baked in one hour, you're gonna get it! Ok? Good dog!" chirped Rin and she skipped off back to her bedroom.
"No! Rin! Don't just leave me here!" cried Len.
The first thing Rin did when she was back in her room was get her laptop back out and pressed play on the next episode. "Time to learn more tricks!"
Len was still lying face down. He was completely stunned how Rin had actually made those 'beads of subjugation' work. Rubbing his sore nose, he stood up and made his way towards the kitchen. While he began baking he whimpered, "Now how the hell am I gonna get this damn thing off without it hurting?"
Since Len was to focused on getting the muffins ready for his 'Kagome' he didn't notice a teal head and pink head giggling in the doorway. Their film had ended so they'd decided to assist a certain orange lover without them knowing.
"I've wanted to do that to Len for so long!" giggled the teal.
"That was such a great idea," replied the pink and they silently high-fived each other.

Aw, sorry. That's one of my MUCH shorter one shots. My recent ones have been about four times the size. I'm glad you liked it though
This was so funny!! I would've loved to seen how Len looked when Rin pulled his ponytail out and put the necklace on!!! Thanks so much for uploading this!!! I'm waiting for you're next one anxiously!!!
Ahaha, this is a great story! I couldn't stop laughing after reading this!

Extraction of Electric Network Frequency Signals from Recordings Made in a Controlled Magnetic Field
An Electric Network Frequency (ENF) signal is the 60 Hz component of an AC power signal that varies over time due to fluctuations in power production and consumption, across the entire grid of a power distribution network. When present in audio recordings, these signals (or their harmonics) can be used to authenticate a recording, time stamp the original, or determine if a recording was copied or edited. This paper will present the results of an experiment to determine if ENF signals in a controlled magnetic field can be detected and extracted from audio recordings made with battery and externally powered audio recording devices.

The phrase "damn straight" is now used as a way to emphatically agree with a statement, but where does it come from, and what did it mean originally?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Etymonline reports that straight to mean "true, direct, honest" is from 1520s.
The third entry in NOAD lists the meaning of straight as
Note the first example: a straight answer. The comment "damn straight" emerges directly from this kind of construction. It is always used in response to a statement that the speaker strongly agrees with, and is an acknowledgement of the candor and frankness of the original statement.
But there's more. It also parallels a similar possible response: "Damn right" (meaning "You're damned right.") and means the same thing. These two are interchangeable and probably merged in meaning; one often hears "You're damn[ed] straight," completing the merge. So in this sense "straight" and "right" mean pretty much the same thing. The actual meanings of "straight" and "right" are less important than the emphatic note of strong agreement.

Science of the Spirit
We were made for these times
Fri, 13 Dec 2013 16:49 UTC
You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.
Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.
In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.
We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater?
Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.
What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.
Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.
There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.
The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.
Reader Comments
absolutely love this writing. Spot on, and I believe at some level that we have chosen to be here in this time and space. Our energy and spirit are desperately needed, and I believe there are many aware of this. If the light burns brightly enough the darkness will fade into oblivion. My, how I want to be witness to this.
have a way with words. Science of the spirit, indeed!
YES! and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I, too, very much want to be witness to this.
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
A beautiful and comforting write .. made for these times and here to see it through
...especially when the darkness seems to be getting longer by the day, and I hope it is not mere wishful thinking to be encouraged just by these words.
Shining some light in a dark world is all we can really do....
The smallest light shines the brightest when it is surrounded by darkness.
Amen to this inspiring diatribe. The time is coming soon when words like this will tip the scales.
Mankind is on the cusp of something momentous, be it positive or negative, the time is coming soon. It is very important now for those of us with the eyes to see to consolidate our positions.
The battle that is coming will be fought on many fronts with the most important front being our own spirits.
We will be fighting a war of morality, a war that will not only involve physical weapons but also weapons of the spirit.
We will be called on to defend our beliefs in such a fundamental way that just by deciding if you follow the ways of the flesh or the ways of the spirit will determine the outcome.
It is time to strengthen our resolve, it is time to solidify that which we believe to be right and that which we believe to be wrong. Pretty soon, our lives will depend on that decision.
All will be held to the same standard and will be called upon to publicly decide to which camp they want to belong. Family will mean nothing and old friendships will be torn apart.
A revolution is being imposed upon us, sinister and altruistic forces fight through us every day and it appears that things are now, finally, beginning to ramp up to that final eventuality.
It is up to us as individuals to decide on which side we will make our stand, we still have that fundamental choice. And we always will, that is what makes us what we are.
Choose now people. While you still have the luxury of making the choice voluntarily. For it is those who are caught sleeping who will suffer the most and will finally determine which side will be the victor.
Thanks for having this dug out of the web.
And besides all the bold text, I would stress yet another part:
"I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate."
p.s. just checked with dictionary - dug also means an udder, breast, or teat of a female animal. But I did not mean it that way and hope you understood it right :)
I needed to hear this, too. STO will prevail. Hang on, hang on....
Very beautiful. Thank you.
Let there be light.
Very nice comments.
It's all inside you.
Before enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment: Chop wood, carry water!
Well said ned.
This shall be printed and framed. Magnificent!
I find this article particularly appropriate, this day, year and lifetime.
Just what I needed to hear tonight. Thanks for the article.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful text and strangely enough, it was exactly my mind on yesterday: We are here and now for a reason.

"As The Encyclopedia of Surfing also points out: "Visiting surfers since the early 1970s have had rocks thrown at them while walking down the cliffside Lunada trail, and returned from the water to find their car windows broken and their tires slashed — the work of local surfers, the sons of millionaires, determined to keep their break free of outsiders." -- L.A.

The Bombay Royale, music for daring Bollywood-style adventures
Snakes! Bullets! Super secret agents! Bandits! Monkeys and tigers! Espionage and romance! Are you excited yet? Are you on the edge of your seat? Does this sound like a movie to you? Ah, these are the recurring themes in some of classic Bollywood's greatest cinematic extravaganzas, where acting and plot took a backseat to some of the craziest, over-the-top song and dance scenes ever committed to celluloid. Enter The Bombay Royale, a local 11-piece musical powerhouse who have taken the themes and soundtracks from these films and have infused them with all the colour, production and energy one would expect from a four-plus hour Bollywood movie. The Bombay Royale had first set down to do strictly covers from the gilded '60s era of Bollywood, but soon evolved into writing their own material.Sit down with Parvyn Kaur Singh AKA "The Mysterious Lady," one of the singers of the band, for an introduction to the cast of characters behind the albums You Me Bullets Love (Soundcloud; track-by-track description with musical director and saxophonist Andy Williamson, AKA "The Skipper") and The Island of Dr. Electrico (Soundcloud; a review of the Bollywood inspired surf / disco / funk album).

Icy weather getting you down? How about a nice relaxing beach holiday? The same weather pattern bringing Antarctic temperatures to America is pushing Himalayan surf towards Europe. With storm swell battering coastlines from Portugal to Cornwall, big-wave specialists from around the world are flocking to the unlikely surf mecca of Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo, Ireland.

Teahupo'o... ohhh... whooooah!

The Krew Kats
The Krew Kats were an instrumental surf-rock act out of England in the very early 60s. Cut from the same cloth, you might say, as the much more well known stateside crew The Ventures. But the Krew Kats had a playful, surprising, inventive and gloriously dopey sound all their own. As far as I can tell, their total recorded output consists of seven songs, all of which are available for your listening pleasure here.

Surfing took a baby step or the first dip at the first India Surf Festival in Puri this month. Indian surfers, from states along India's long coastline, came together for the first time, in one place. From fishermen's sons to professional surfing instructors, they do not fit the classic, global image of surfers we have. They are uniquely Indian.

Biggest Teahupo'o EVER
Teahupo'o was included on Transworld Surf's list of the' Top 10 Deadliest Waves' and is commonly referred to as the "heaviest wave in the world".[6][1] The name 'Teahupo'o' loosely translates to English as "to sever the head" or "place of skulls"." [more inside]

Teahupo'o Code Red
"At 7 a.m. Saturday morning the reports from the lineup were mixed. Big sets in the 20-foot plus range, some bigger ones and all on the verge of unsurfable. Tow-in crews who'd flown in from all over the world were sitting in the lineup watching the waves hit the reef and timing the sets. Meanwhile photographers and video crew were stuck on land arguing with government officials who had declared a "Code Red Alert" and shut down the channel leading to Teahupo'o."
GoPro or Go Home
MeFi has seen a GoPro camera attached to a sword, but after running across a video of one attached to a Hula Hoop (it'll make you dizzy) I decided to look for more and found a trove of sports, most of which are created by GoPro and as such may come across as advertising, but some are independently shot, so put that aside if you can. I'll probably never take up any of these activities, but I get an idea of what they're like via helmet or pole-cam. There's the Base Jump; the GoPro at 80,000 feet (near space); Boogie Boarding Surf; Surfing; Racing up Pike's Peak; Mountain Biking; a Kayak Competition; Kiteboarding; Longboarding; the 2010 Highlight Reel and many more. Damn, now I want one!

These Beatles clips from a 1965 NME show are straight off the mixing desk, so the voices are way up front. Man, those vocals are so loud you can hardly hear Ringo! But let's back it up just a year, to Holland in 1964, and catch one of the rare performances without Ringo. Aside from his brief stint as a Beatle, session drummer Jimmy Nicol also played with zany Swedish instrumental surf rock band The Spotnicks. So, there you have it: Jimmy Nicol, a lucky fella who got to play with two of the greatest bands in the world! [NOTE: see hoverovers for link descriptions] [more inside]

Are you a snowboarder without snow, a surfer without surf or a skate rat sick of concrete? Grab a Scarpar (as soon as they're available) and hit the...trails. Or, if you prefer a nonmotorized offroad shredding experience, try a mountainboard. Just try really hard not to fall.

When Firefox, privacy and relationships collide...
Firefox "causes" breakup... One man uses his fiance's computer to surf dating and swinger websites. He's careful to wipe his passwords etc. as he surfs - and then for good measure, de-installs Firefox.
The fiance then decides to install Firefox for the usual reasons, not knowing the above and happens to decides to edit the list of sites to never save passwords for. And comes across a list of said websites, and realises that he's still an active member of those websites.
Surely when you de-install a program, the uninstallation process should get rid of program-related data too, like in games? Although the geniuses at Firefox manifestly disagree with this. Other commenters also think the man was in the right.

Red Sox Rock The White House With Flag Jacket And Presidential Selfie
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes had hoped everyone on his team would wear one of the American flag blazers he bought for them all before their visit to the White House today.
As it turned out, Gomes was the only player who ended up coming decked out in red, white and blue. He certainly stood out as President Obama honored last year's World Series champions.
Reporters covering the event say the Red Sox gave the president a jacket just like the one Gomes was wearing.
Gomes said after the event that the president "approved" of his attire. "He looked me right in the eyes and said, 'Nice jacket,' " Gomes told the Boston Globe's Matt Viser and other reporters.
Meanwhile, the irrepressible designated hitter baseman David Ortiz got the president to pose for a group selfie with an "Obama" Red Sox jersey.

I have a list of sections that I pass to a Django template. The sections have different types. I want to say "if there is a section of this type, display this line" in my template, but having an issue. What I'm basically trying to do is this.
{% if s.name == "Social" for s in sections %}
Hello Social!
{% endif %}
But of course that's not working. Any idea how to basically in one line loop through the items in a list and do an if statement?
ADDITIONAL INFO: I could potentially have multiple "Social" sections. What I'm trying to do in the template is say "if there are any social sections, display this div. If not, don't display the div." But I dont want the div to repeat, which is what would happen with the above code.

Forgie said two of the seven varieties of peach at the orchard have ripened thus far this summer. The fruit farm will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year.

Fall plans at the Inn
August 20, 2013
Dear Inn seekers!
Sometimes fall seems to be in the air already! Then we hear summer with its heat is coming back. No matter, Luray has plenty to offer and so does the South Court Inn.
Our odd job man and son Tom is back in college and things are back to Mike and I. This fall we are planning a large hardscaping job for our backyard, improving outdoor entertainment options. Toward that effort Tom spent part of his summer refinishing an old bar found in our 'horse barn'. This will be part of our landscaping improvement.
Come and see for yourself!
Cheers, Adelheid and Mike

tbac's Review for Napiers Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary Inc
9 people found this review helpful
We adopted a puppy from Napier. The puppy was presented to us covered in feces and urine and really stunk. The paperwork we received smelled bad too... literally... as its sitting on our table outside to air out and after 5 days the papers still smell awful. Our vet also said the puppy tested positive for intestinal parasites that are typically found in poor quality untreated water. We had to put him on parasite meds and he had a bacterial infection in his intestines too so he is on an antibiotic now.
We also had to meet the animals and owners outside at night in the rain and when we asked to see where the animals are housed we were told no. This made us very leary of the quality of care of the animals at this shelter. This is a non-profit shelter however their prices are very expensive and are not negotiable "donations" which made us questions the validity of the non-profit status.
We were also given 30 days of free pet insurance through 24 Pet Watch. We received 5 emails from 24 Pet Watch saying we needed to login to receive the insurance. We tried to do this multiple times with the code we were given from Napier. It was invalid so we called the 800 number to 24 Pet Watch and were told that the code and our name were not valid with them. They asked for us to email them our proof which we did. We also emailed them throught their website and called back again and never received any follow up nor did anyone answer the phone. So we have no insurance. At this point we cant tell if its Napiers fault or Pet Watch.
One month later Napier contacted Pet Watch and corrected the problem with the insurance. They also did the microchipping. We are satisified with results of Napier's efforts to rectify the situation.

No Guarantees
While the classification of Peer Reviewed or Refereed (terms are used interchangeably) is an indication of some type of review, dig a little deeper. These designations are reported by journal publishers to vendors, but what they mean can vary. The term Scholarly generally indicates an academic focus with a focus on reporting original research, authored by experts, for experts.
Things to consider:
- Are the reviewers named for a specific journal or only as an advisory board for the publisher in general?
- What is the manuscript acceptance rate?
- If acceptance happens very quickly with few revisions, how much review is actually happening?
- Does the journal require underlying data to be included or made available?
- Does the journal check for image manipulation?
- How does the journal deal with allegations of errors or misconduct?
- Is a subscription to the journal required for publication? Is there a fee for review?
Predatory Publishing
Have you received an invitation to publish in a particular journal that you are unfamiliar with? Read this first!
Journal quality is not soley determined by impact factor and number of times cited. Those numbers can be gamed and as large multinational publishers start purchasing open access journals the waters have become really murky. The investigative article Who's Afraid of Peer Review explains in more detail.
- Criteria for determining predatory publishersCompiled by Jeffrey Beall, University of Colorado Denver as a critical analysis of scholarly, open-access publishing.
- Follow the MoneyAn interactive map of John Bohannon's research for Science shows that a journal's publisher, editor and bank account are often worlds apart.
- Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journalsList of questionable, scholarly open-access journals and publishers. We recommend that scholars read the available reviews, assessments and descriptions provided here, and then decide for themselves whether they want to submit articles, serve as editors or on editorial boards.
- Retraction WatchBlog founded by veteran science writers Ivan Oransky and Adam Markus to "track retractions as a window into the scientific process." ~ Retraction Watch
- Who's Afraid of Peer ReviewA spoof paper concocted by Science reveals little or no scrutiny at many open-access journals.
Where to Publish?
- ABDC Business Journal Quality List 2013The ABDC Journal Quality List 2013 comprises 2,767 different journal titles, divided into four categories of quality, A*: 6.9%; A: 20.8%; B: 28.4%; and C: 43.9% journals. In each Field of Research (FoR) group, journals deemed NOT to reach the quality threshold level are not listed. Next review expected to occur in 2016-17
- Digital Commons NetworkThe Digital Commons Network brings together free, full-text scholarly articles from hundreds of universities and colleges worldwide.
- Directory of Open Access JournalsDOAJ defines open access journals as journals that "use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access." While this can be a useful listing, it is not a guarantee. Predatory publishers do slip through the cracks. Ask questions, be vigilant.
- Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science)This index, incorporated into Web of Science, will make discoverable journal literature that is currently being evaluated for inclusion in the core Science, Social Science, and Arts & Humanities Citation Indexes. This will take into consideration emerging research journals and represent the research from emerging global markets.

is data proxy is the same as ajax?
hi all,
i'm new to extjs, my boss buying me one developer license of extjs. Currently i got no progress so far, but i still struggling here.
back to my question, is data proxy is the same as ajax?, if not what is the difference?.
i've been using Ext.data.JsonStore and HttpProxy for grid, but then there Ext.ajax, now i'm confused when i must use Ext.data and when to use Ext.ajax.

Ext.Ajax is an instance of Ext.data.Connection. It is used for requesting data from the server using XMLHttpRequest.
Ext.data.Store uses a proxy to request data from the server. Since there are several ways to do this, it requires a descendant of the abstract Ext.data.DataProxy.
Ext.data.HttpProxy is a descendant of Ext.data.DataProxy that uses either Ext.Ajax or an instance of Ext.data.Connection (depending on the constructor parameters).
Ext.data.ScriptTagProxy is another descendant of Ext.data.DataProxy that uses a <script> tag to request the data. Ext.data.ScriptTagProxy is less flexible, but has the advantage that it also works with request to a different server.

thanks Condor,
so for the summary if i use Ext.data.HttpProxy then i already using Ext.ajax.
oke, this give me more step knowing extjs .

Bagni di Tiberio - CapriGo to the top
There are places on the island of Capri which, in just a few square meters, manage to capture all of the island's charm.
One of these is the Bagni di Tiberio bathing establishment, an oasis of tranquility just minutes away from Marina Grande, on a section of the island's coastline from where a fabulous view of the whole of the Bay of Naples can be seen.
The establishment's child-friendly pebble beach is located close to what remains of Emperor Augustus' ancient summer residence.
On the wood planked terrace, holidaymakers can be found whiling away the hours, relaxing in the sun and enjoying the fresh Mediterranean salads and delicious panini served at the Snack Bar.
A tour around the island, a cruise along the Amalfi Coast, or an entire day spent sailing the sea surrounding Capri? Hire one of Bagni Tiberio's traditional "gozzi" boats with crew - and the choice is yours!'''
For years Bagni di Tiberio has been a favorite amongst fans of Capri's traditional cuisine.
In the bathing establishment's sea-edge restaurant, customers are presented with a menu featuring all of the island's most-loved dishes, prepared using the freshest of fish and served with the excellent wine produced in Capri's tiny terraced vineyards.

The beach of Bagni di Tiberio is a pleasant, 10 minute stroll from Marina Grande, Capris main port and fishing district.

Shelly nodded. "Thank you, Doctor."
Torie had eventually fallen into a nightmare filled sleep.
Torie was walking though the Lake park when she noticed movement all around her. She stopped and looked around, only seeing shadows. "Hello? Anyone there?" She called out.
As she turned, the shadows formed into her friends. Janelle stepped out, then Greg and Cole, Mike and Ella, and finally Ryan. They were all frowning and pale looking.
"Why Torie? Why did you have to bring us into the Resistance?" Janelle said.
"We would still be alive if it wasn't for you, Torie." Greg snarled.
"I told you that this would all turn out horribly. But nobody listened. Now look at us. 6 feet in the ground ready to rot." Cole added.
"You not only murdered me, but my children, Torie. How could you murder my children?" Ella replied.
"We all blame you, Torie. You are the one who got us killed." Mike added.
Ryan walked up closer to her. "I loved you, Tor, and this is how you repay my love? By getting me killed. By getting us all killed."
"No, no, no. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it." Torie stammered, starting to cry again.
"I DIDN'T MEAN IT." She yelled, jolting awake. She scooted back to the wall against her bed and pulled the covers around her. "I didn't mean it." She whispered, breathing heavily.
Alex was perplexed. "What would change?" He asked.
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.
