Lesson 6: When your cheif engineer says it will take a certain lenght of time to fix something, divide by three to get the true lenght of time needed.
No, a day is measured by a planet's rotation, not the star it orbits. Got it, chief?
Hi kids! The word for today is:
This is why Star Trek shows (except "Enterprise" used Stardates. Not only does it sound cool and futuristic, you don't have to reset your clock every time your ship takes a standard orbit over the Planet of Steves. Oh…it also tells audiences what season the episode is in (TNG only, tho).
Yes, I got a kick seeing how time jumped around on the original series. The Star dates were in no way consistent.
They used solar versions of seconds, minutes, hours and days. A solar day is from Noon to Noon. *@StoicLion *

I found a consistency with the original Star Trek. As time goes on the larger the Star Date numbers. Do you mean some of the other ST shows like DS9 & Voyager?
The day on Mars is about a half hour longer than one on earth. The JPL people doing the Rover work use Mars time, so after a few days, they end up having breakfast at night, etc.
And their kids also adjusted to Mars time along with them, up until they started school.
In one episode of "Enterprise", the inhabitants of one planet were annoyed that Archer didn't adjust the ship's clock to their capital city.

A few months ago, it looked like Mark Warner might, at worst, have only token opposition. His position as Virginia's senior Senator and as a popular former governor seemed unassailable. It probably still is, but instead of a second or third tier opponent, the Republicans have recruited a serious challenger. Election 2014 in Virginia is going to be lively. Ed Gillespie, the likely GOP nominee, is a former Chairman of the Republican Party, adviser to former President Bush, and considered by many an astute and energetic political strategist. He's a good speaker, can raise money on a national level, and knows how to motivate the GOP conservative base. He will be a formidable opponent.

Everyone who has gone to school has had to take tests. There are the infamous pop quizzes, tests on chapters, midterms, and finals. As for the questions, they come in all types. There are multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false, essays, and math and science questions that include that infamous phrase, "show your work."

It's called the Dream Act. At 700 pages it's arguably too wordy and too complicated, but it's the first major bill to address the issue of nearly 11 million individuals who are here in the United States without proper documentation. And, before anybody says it, yes, I know, that means they're illegal. The Senate passed the bill in 2013, with strong bi-partisan support, but it faces heavy going in the House. It may never come to the floor. The Tea Party faction in the House, which is strongly anti-immigrant, is adamantly opposed to it, but even if the bill doesn't pass it's a problem can't be ignored forever.

It was about fifteen years ago, when working for a Republican member of Congress that I was asked to participate in a group that was looking at alternatives aimed at expanding healthcare coverage. This wasn't a GOP issue, but in those days, many in the Republican Party in Congress (yes, really) were worried about the number of Americans that didn't have healthcare. The single payer (government footing the bill) approach that had been proposed by President Clinton had been defeated, but many Republicans in Congress were still interested in private sector alternatives. This had a lot of promise and the approach that garnered the most interest was the concept of a government sponsored insurance marketplace. Each state would have its own marketplace and Americans who needed health care could sign up. Expanding Medicaid was also discussed. But key to every part of this proposal was the private sector.

My great aunt, whose life covered a century, used to tell me that as she got older the years, "just flew by." When I was ten or so and first heard this I couldn't imagine what she was talking about. A day sometimes seemed like forever and a year was an eternity. But, now, many years later I understand what she meant. When I was ten, a year was a staggering tenth of my life. At least to that point. Now, a year, is a much smaller fraction and I completely understand what my great aunt was talking about. The years do fly by. However, that doesn't make the accomplishments, disappointments and promises of a year that's past any less important. And they deserve a little recognition.

Ninety-nine years ago this Christmas soldiers of the British, French, and Belgian Armies were facing each other across no man's land. It was first year of World War One and the beginning of a long period of trench warfare that would last four more years. Already, since the war began in August, as many as a million had already died. Leadership was in question, and more than a few soldiers, on both sides of no man's land, that minimal stretch of territory between the lines, wondered if it was all worth it. In the long term, for the cause of the Allies, it probably was, but right at that moment, in the midst of battle, it wasn't fighting that broke out, but rather it was Christmas.

Posted Dec 28 2011 6:57AM
Interesting how the Grizzlies drew the Thunder, of all teams, for their home opener Wednesday night, expected to be the biggest event in Memphis since last summer when these teams staged a cardiac playoff series.
Let that marinate a bit. Not the part about the Grizzlies and Thunder engaging in an epic series, although that was somewhat unexpected.
No, the part about a regular-season game being a Big Event in Memphis, where sellouts are less common than Elvis sightings.
Is this the same Memphis that tuned out the Grizzlies for the better part of a decade, the same Memphis that chipped in to put the Grizzlies in a financial squeeze, the same Memphis that yawned when the basketball world voted the Grizzlies as one of the Most Likely Teams To Be Contracted?
That Memphis?
Well. In the wake of a playoff run that grabbed the city by the throat, the Grizzlies are suddenly a hot topic in town. There's a sense this small market team has big things in store. And that's comforting for an organization that recently wrote considerable contracts to four players who'll eat nearly $55 million of the payroll this season. Given the rather shaky history of local support for the Grizzlies, was this a wise business move? And about this sudden support, how genuine is it?
"We saw how crazy those games were and how it meant a lot to the fans," said Rudy Gay. "All summer long, people have been waiting for the next Grizzlies game. That's the way it should be in this city."
That's actually a reason to be cautious. This "hysteria" is from a three-week stretch in the spring when the Grizzlies made the Spurs look old, then took the Thunder to the limit in a series helped by a triple-OT thriller. Before then, the Grizzlies were still getting the same-old treatment from Memphis despite winning 46 games; they finished 27th out of 30 in home NBA attendance.
Owner Michael Heisley, anxious to keep the hype alive, extended the contracts of Zach Randolph (four years, $66 million) and Marc Gasol (four years, $58 million). With Gay (five years, $84 million) and Mike Conley (five years, $40 million) also with long deals, the Grizzlies have their core wrapped up. (The odd man out is O.J. Mayo, who'll likely be traded or allowed to walk next summer.) It was a strong statement made by Heisley, who always maintained he'd spend on the right players.
"Everybody's been taken care of," Randolph said.
Now we'll see how long the Grizzlies are taken care of by Memphis. The team and city have had an odd and mostly detached relationship. As the only pro team in town, the Grizzlies often found themselves playing second to the University of Memphis. In the last five years the Grizzlies ranked no higher than 27th in home attendance and once were dead last.
Of course, the attendance was tied to the product on the floor, which wasn't much. The Grizzlies didn't make the playoffs four of those years and suffered initially from the Pau Gasol trade, although that doesn't look so bad today. Heisley was so worried about attendance that he reached and signed a beyond-his-prime Allen Iverson against the wishes of almost everyone in the organization. Yes, the owner was that desperate.
The decision to draft Hasheem Thabeet with the second overall pick in 2009 threatened to set the franchise further back but gradually the pieces fell in place: Randolph, Gay, Conley, Gasol, along with Tony Allen and a few other vital role players.
"They put together a good team for us," Gay said.
Now comes the hard part. Now, we'll see if the Grizzlies can succeed on the floor and at the gate, neither of which can be taken for granted. Was last spring a fluke? It could be they simply caught fire at the right time and their key players, mainly Randolph and Gasol, were on a roll. Or maybe they're a legit division title contender and will only get better with Gay, who missed the playoff fun with a bum shoulder.
As for attendance, they'll find out soon enough if that was a fluke, too. Season ticket sales did soar by a few thousand and Grizzlies fever is at an all-time high. After losing Game 7 to Oklahoma City, the Grizzlies were met at the airport by a swarm. Gay took pictures of the scene, just to have evidence. Maybe they're hooked.
"The whole city of Memphis came around and took us to the next level," Gay said.
The performance by the team and the fans was either an indication of the future or a cruel tease. This season will tell for a team and city with much to prove.
"We have a team that can make a run at a championship," Conley said. "And we have the fans behind us."

I'm trying to implement a vertical
StackPanel equivalent in my MonoMac project and am having trouble figuring it out. I am not using interface builder but creating the controls programmatically (this is a restriction). I tried using a
CollectionView but all items in that control are sizing to the same height.
Looking around the internet, it seems
NSTableView is the way to go, but I'm not sure how to do it, especially with C# while using a MonoMac target.
CollectionView was somewhat more straightforward with the
CollectionViewItem.ItemPrototype allowing me to create the views I want to render. But with an
NSTableView, it seems like I can only specify a data source that returns the
NSObjects I want to display. How do I grab this data and then bind them to the view I want to stick in there?
I would prefer C# code but I'm at a stage where I'll accept any and all help!

Please can anyone help with this...
I have been having problems with child themes.
I initially wanted to create a child theme for Spun but it keeps breaking or not recognising the parent theme. I thought it worked earlier but it still is not working! Am really at my wits end.
I decided therefore to follow exactly the instructions as on child themes
therefore with the twenty twelve theme.
I still get the following error message on the manage themes page:
This child theme requires its parent theme, Twenty Twelve.
any ideas as to why this is? Is anyone else having this issue?

but...but...HE HAS NO ASS!
By the time he retires, Ichiro will be considered the best lead-off hitter in baseball history (if he isn't already).
thank you, adrian. my sentiments exactly. i mean, you could screen a movie on that thing. best hitter, schmest hitter - what is baseball without the ass?
P-I's coverage is here: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/323111_mari11.html
@2: ichiro's great, but you've obviously forgotten a lead-off hitter named CHARLIE HUSTLE, one mr. pete rose of the cincinnati red legs, the big red machine! holder of the record for most hits in a major league career.
as a 'nati native, i cannot allow this injustice to pass unmentioned.
and will be ridiculously glorfied in seattle despite not bringing glory to the entire team.
Thank Christ. He's gonna get his 'missing pieces' next season for sure. 13 games over .500 at the All-Star break, after nearly every Seattleite was exhausting their Kleenex supply at the end of Spring Training at how bad we were gonna suck? Goddamned testament to the chaps that actually matter - the ones that play the game. Seattle, time to fucking rejoice! Season ticket holders, time to reproduce!
Thank Christ as well that it's quasi-officially safe to stop imagining Ichiro musing about his dog in the New York or Boston press maelstroms.
My Ichiro Bobble Head is nodding in happiness at this news!
Can't wait for Husky Day at the Mariners!
@2 and @5...
I think Rickey Henderson has this one locked up...or Ty Cobb.
My boy Ricky was one of the best. Rose wasn't too bad either--for a white guy.
Shaniqua, i would say that he wasn't bad for a redneck west side cincinnati shanty irish hillbilly.
in my neighborhood, he was almost black.
Ricky Henderson was the best leadoff hitter of all time. Ichiro, while great, and worth every penny of this deal, isn't even close to him. Twenty points of OBP, and Ichiro hasn't had his decline phase yet. He has 2,190 walks! Ichiro will barely break 500.
Neither could Rose, hits record or no. And Rickey never bet on baseball games he was playing and managing in.
ricky was the man. i got to see charlie hustle at the end of his career with my beloved phillies of the charlton era. he was as fat and out of shape as edgar martinez, but he ran 10 times faster.
ichiro is more complete than all those great players since he has hitting, incredible defense and speed. he is a natural. a joy to watch. i would not be surprised if he pitches.
with ichiro signing i guess now the mystery of why hargrove left is solved. they wont admit it.
oops, i meant carlton.
I'm with you SeMe. Ichiro says he wants to become a pitcher when he turns 40. I love it. Seattle's the perfect place for that, a transition at the end of a single-city career. Though I'm already dreading PITCHIRO flashing on the jumbotron.
but, magically, his stance makes him look like he has the biggest ass in baseball.
Rickey Henderson is still the the greatest lead off hitter in baseball. Someone just needs to give Rickey Henderson another chance, and Rickey Henderson will prove that Rickey Henderson can not only be the best lead off hitter, but Rickey Henderson can be the best player in baseball. Rickey Henderson Rickey Henderson Rickey Henderson.
@16, well then where the hell is that picture? that's the one i want to see. adrian too, right?
Watch an Ms game, Josef! Any one will do. He does this weird measuring thing with his forearm, then sticks his butt out like a little birdie.
Ichiro is HOT HOT HOT!!!!
@9, @12, etc ...
Rickey was great. Rickey was Rickey. Ichiro has played in about 1/3 of the games that Rickey did, and is on about the same pace in several categories (Runs, RBI's, Doubles). Yes Rickey walked more, but he also struck out more. Rickey has a higher OBP, but Ichiro has a higher average and slugging % (believe it or not! ... .439 vs .419). Their OPS are virtually identical. Ichiro hits WAY more Triples (triples are underrated, in my opinion), and he will also have more Hits when it's all over. Then, of course, there's fielding ... Ichiro has a lifetime .994 fielding %, which is phenomenal. Rickey's was .979 (use both hands, Rickey!). That's 14 LIFETIME errors for Ichiro, with 141 for Rickey!
Ichiro could get the HR's, but doesn't swing for the fences like Rickey did (hence less strikeouts). The only place that Ichiro will never touch Rickey is stolen bases and ego.
I won't say much about Rose, other than he should definitely be in the Hall of Fame. His primary achievement was longevity. He had 23 seasons, but had 200+ hits in only 10 of them. Ichiro has 200+ in every season he's played, including the all-time single season record (262 in 2004).
PS - Ichiro has a slightly higher SB% than Rickey (.811 vs .808). Rickey stole more, but got caught more too!
@15 are you freaking kidding? Seattle has the DH rule which would eliminate half of his benefit to the team, especially with his pitching ability unknown
I hit ball, big time! Love to Seattle!
Ranagazoo, let's have at you-
Ok, this isn't the perfect angle, but shows most of the Butt Effect of Ichiro's batting stance. I heart Ichiro!
@ 23...if an AL pitcher was actually capable of hitting, there's no reason they couldn't be in the lineup. The DH allows you to sub a hitter for the pitcher, but it doesn't mandate it.
So actually, yeah that would be hysterical...a 40 year old Ichiro pitching and batting...yet another bizarre record.
Are you saying 20 million a year! Insane! He should be ashamed since there are staving children in Africa!!!
@23 - Yeah, they could let Ichiro stay in the line-up and hit for Richie Sexson.
Inside the park homer! ASG-MVP! Kanpai, bee-yatches!!!!
My lady is from his hometown, and they love his ASS, non-existent or not....
@27 At least its a fucking year...Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, George Clooney, all make more than that a film, which, is usually two to four months....And Ichiro is more talented than all those fuck stains! Hooray for the Stranger talking about sports!!!
The more I watch Ichiro float around in the outfield, the more I think he bats for our team...really, I do.
Thanks to adrian! and the Stranger for
an Ichiro perspective sadly lacking in the national media.
@9 FWIW: Cobb batted 3rd or 4th in his
prime. He was a power hitter by dead-ball era standards, leading the league in homers (9, all inside-the-park!) in 1909.

Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie in JET and Joel Madden in Dior Homme
The JET jean Queen herself, Nicole Richie, was seen out for lunch wearing JET's Moto jeans in Grey Splat with Joel Madden who was wearing Dior Homme jeans. When i saw these jeans online my first reaction was a bit unsure, the stitching is unlike other motorcycle jeans, they look a bit like cat scratches. Nicole really wore these well though, you barely see the stitching, she makes them look good. Buy these jeans by clicking here.
Nicole Richie in JET
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were spotted mourning the loss of Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson; they were all childhood friends. Nicole tries to hide from the cameras but paps got a decent shot of her JET jeans for us. They all gathered together at Nicky Hilton's home. You can buy these jeans here at Singer22.
Nicole Richie in Paige Premium
Nicole Richie did some shopping in the after Christmas sales with her husband Joel Madden. She wore her Paige Premium jeans with a very cute boy blazer, tunic and scarf. I've always loved her chic style, she is another celeb that pulls off the effortless look really well. Nicole was snapped in these jeans the other day as well.

The Eagle or the Dragon: Debating the Merits of Contrasting Forms of Development
China's intensification of development initiatives has begun to rival those typically promoted in the developing world. Is the good governance and political rights-based development model promoted by the West still the most sustainable and effective method for aiding the world's most disadvantaged? Or does China's infrastructure and economic growth-based development approach offer a better alternative for developing countries?

Tried it and thought it was very good as well. Went back for seconds :) Will cook this for a dinner party next week. I agree that it could use some more cheese. The cheese sauce is very thick and difficult to spread over the pasta. I'd probably double the amount of it and add more milk to make it thinner. I used chilli peppers, as the recipe didn't specify, which was very tasty but probably less authentic and not for the faint of heart. I also used way more than 4 tbsp of oil on the roast vegetables :)
Made for Christmas dinner and it was pretty good. Would make again, but it is not my 100% favoriate. Did take a lot of work, but it was worth it. Needs more cheese.

5 NEWS UPDATE: One Man Still Recovering, Two Released from Hospital After Plane Crash
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on April 29, 2013 @ 6:29PM
Created on April 29, 2013 @ 4:43PM
It's been several days since a plane went down in Tucker County, and on Monday, only one of the men who was inside that plane remains in the hospital.
The pilot of the plane, 46-year-old Waseem Haider, remains at Ruby Memorial Hospital in fair condition.
The two other men on board, 48-year-old Shujjat Rathore and 46-year-old Muhammad Paracha were released.
The plane the three of them were on crashed around 12:40 p.m. on Friday near the Windwood Fly-In Resort.
Officials said they think Haider was trying to land the plane, but didn't think there was enough room to make the landing.
That's when he apparently tried to take off again, but couldn't clear the trees.
Reports from the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board haven't been released yet.
As soon as they are, we'll be sure to let you know.

Roadsters aren't the most practical cars to debut in a down economy, but they're still a lot of fun to look at. Volkswagen's new Concept BlueSport has the look of a serious sports car, and it's powered by a rear-mounted diesel engine.
Low-slung and small, the Concept BlueSport features pronounced fender flares and a squared-off back end. The minimalist interior seems designed to keep the driver focused on the task of piloting this sports car, and the bucket seats are finished in leather.
The Concept BlueSport's 177-hp diesel engine uses common-rail injection. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the car can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in as little as 6.6 seconds, according to Volkswagen. The automaker also says the concept delivers fuel economy of 55 mpg, which is impressive even for a small roadster. The concept also has an Eco mode that includes an engine auto-stop feature.

we are a historically black school but we have whites, canadians, orientals, indians, all types here as far as staff and students and they are not treated differently they excel well
Health & Safety:
its average, not too many crimes
Party Scene:
everyone has a blast at the partites
Off-Campus Dining:
We have 3 places right at the edge of campus behind the back gate we have one around the road and we have a buffet on the highway and everything else is in the surrounding cities
i am a cheerleader here and i love it! the atmosphere at the games everything about it! we just are not offered scholarships for ANYTHING not even books like other athletes.
They enforce the rules and the students know that they are
I love science so my biology major curriculum is great, except math i hate math.
This was my first year at the University I transferred in from a community college
they always have seminars about programs, internships, and scholarships for most majors
Guys & Girls:
we have a diversity of races even though we are prodominately black and everyone mixes in well
Health & Safety:
The only reason it feels unsafe is because there are not that many sources of lights around the campus and the only way you will see lights is by going toward the cafe to get to your dorm from a night class, which is a long way..
Campus Food:
The food in the cafe is ok.. It's just we have a total of 4 line and in 3 lines they serve the se foods except for on thanksgiving holiday.. It's a variety of pizza in one line , hamburger and fries in another line, a sandwich line and a line that serves the meal of the day...
LABS ROCK, free printing. You have to pay copies though in library. I've been told that you can fax in library as well.
everyone is accepting of people from different backgrounds. they actually take an interest in them in some situations and want to know more about how they found out about the school. it is a diverse background in every aspect.
NURSING: workload-is definitely a lot but its worth it. Clinicals are limited to what you get to see or do, but fun for the most part. Facilities are good. there are numerous resources available to students who struggle with content. you will have a full load of classes.
It's easy to get along with professors. they are willing to work with you and are always open. Registration can take forever if you don't do it early and wait to late or long to complete.
Overall Experience:
It's a cool school. We can be like a family at times and get along.
THEY love to tow and write tickets!!! follow all the parking rules if you know them. if you question your tickets, go talk to the dept asap they will work with you. The parking is horrible. you are limited to where you can park.
Campus Housing:
THE ROOMS ARE SMALL AND BEDDING IS OUT OF DATE!! there are 3 options for women. 1. Honors dorm which i LOVE. It is quiet when you need it to be, spacious, and plenty of parking. The bathrooms are shared with you, your roommate and your 2 suite mates, which is better than sharing with an entire floor. There are 3 study rooms inside the dorm, a computer lab, and a laundry room. 2. Burrus hall, which is completely outdated. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 3. New dorms. They are almost like mini apartments you share with 3 other people or you can get a private that you share with one other person. The rooms have a living room/kitchen (with only a tv, sink, and fridge), a common sink outside of the toilet/tub area, a bathroom (toilet and tub), and two rooms (2 people in each room).
Campus Food:
After about a semester here, you can pretty much guess what the cafe is serving on particular days. But WEDNESDAYS are always CHICKEN DAY...you have to get to the cafe when it opens to get a seat and a plate, the cafe basically turns into a club with music dancing and eating. FRIDAYS ARE FISH DAY. You are served in a buffet manner. all you can eat. you get 3 different options. 1. Pizza line 2. burger line 3. entree line!! the food is good, but sometimes it can be quite a surprise when you bite into something or even look at it. Besides the cafe, there is a Sub Connection, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, an eatery within the cafe on campus (aka Subway).Right behind the campus there are 4 eateries 1. Pattons, 2. Wingos(serve wings,burgers, fries, etc.) , 3. CJs, and 4. i don't know the name but they serve a variety of things.
Local Area:
There are two different campuses for my school. I have had the opportunity to live at both. The main campus is really remote. The nearest town is 15 minutes away, and there is only one small town grocery store, about 3 dollar stores (dollar general, freds, and family dollar), two main eateries (sonic and chinese restaurant) there is also a chicken place inside a gas station. about 30 minutes away from the main campus is the Nursing campus which is located in a bigger city. In this city there are thousands of ood options (mcdonalds, burger king, pizza hut, dominos, wendy's, kfc, taco bell, chinese restaurants, casinos, hole in the walls, coffee shops, downtown restaurants, seafood, etc.). The is also a WALMART here along with other shopping centers. the mall doesn't offer many choices. But an hour and a half away are larger cities who offer more.
The thing that the school itself is known to be strict about is parking. They are big on writing students tickets and towing, if you fail to purchase a parking decal or follow the parking rules and regulations that are in place. Nursing school: policies and procedures are followed to the T. There is no bending of the rules.
Campus Quality:
I like them, but they could use improvement.
I think the computer networks are great, but u might need a laptop.
I just don't see it around as much.

In my sidebar.php there is a line <?php get_links_list(); ?>, which inserts all the links under their respective categories into the sidebar. So far so good.
I want to change the background of the links, but leave the background of the link categories headers as they are. The problem is that if I hang some CSS on that line, the formating will apply to everything - headers and links.
Is there any way to format the links separately from their headers?

WASHINGTON (July 20, 2013)--Michelin says it's voluntarily recalling 100,000 tires after a retailer discovered that some had holes and quickly deflated.
The recall involves certain sizes of Michelin's LTX M/S 2, X Radial LT2 and Latitude Tour tires, which are typically used on light trucks and SUVs.
The puncture, in the sidewall, was caused by machines used to handle the finished tires at Michelin's Lexington, S.C. plant.
Michelin said about 2,500 of the recalled tires may have the defect.
There have been no reports of damage, death or injury.
Customers who purchased the tires will be notified by mail beginning next week and those who have already replaced the tires may be reimbursed.

Among other new issues upon updating to v3.3 I am getting the following:
- I am NOT getting the flyout menus, I DO have the bar across the top that lists comments, updates, etc.
- Upon entering the new post field, the text I type appears in white (so I can't see it unless I highlight it)
- The new post field says "Visual" is selected but if I save what I have as a draft and highlight what I've written (since it's in white) it shows HTML tags. So the editor is stuck in some weird HTML editing thing.
- When I click "Quick Edit" nothing happens... at all.
Things I have tried:
- Quick Reinstall of v3.3
- Manual Reinstall of v3.3
- Restore of ENTIRE website, database and all back to the 10th of this month. This brought me back to 3.2.1, and upon entering the editor, I have the same issues, above may not be related to the 3.3 update, but that is when the problem occurred.
- Deactivated ALL plugins (uninstalled all but necessary ones)
- Deleted current third party theme
- Reinstalled v3.3 (via quick install)
- Have tried on multiple computers and browsers as well
Nothing has worked... any ideas? It's like I have some missing/fragmented files somewhere and I am not sure what the issue is.

Don't take it out on library workers
Published: Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Since the Henderson County Library changed its computer system, I have heard many complaints. I understand change isn't easy; it isn't easy for me either. Some people may have real problems like those with disabilities that make using a mouse impossible.
What bothers me is I have heard some people attacking the good people working the floor of the library. Let's keep in mind that these people haven't made the decisions about systems or which computer company is used or even which materials are on the shelves. They work hard to keep the materials in circulation and they don't get extra money because the library board or the county commissioners decide on a particular computer.
Monday was a good example. The library was still open; almost all schools and daycares were closed or opening late. The library workers went out on potentially dangerous roads to be there in case you decided you needed something at the library Monday.
Do we ever thank the people who serve our needs regularly or do we just like to vent our frustrations on the nearest available warm body? I, for one, would like to just say thanks, I appreciate your hard work!

Morris News Service
A three-judge panel from the state's 7th Court of Appeals listened for nearly an hour Thursday to oral arguments about whether former Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach's breach of contract suit against his former employer should go to trial.
Much of the discussion involved whether Texas Tech could avail itself of sovereign immunity - a doctrine that allows state agencies to be sued only if the legislature approves - to stay out of court.
The appeals stemmed from rulings made by District Judge Bill Sowder in June, who held that individual Tech officials Leach sued last year were protected under sovereign immunity.
Sowder also ruled that Tech, by its actions in the way Leach's suspension and firing were handled in December, had waived sovereign immunity and could be sued for breach of contract.
Leach's attorneys also appealed parts of Sowder's ruling that dismissed claims Leach's constitutional rights and protections under the state's whistle-blower law were violated.
Cases on appeal often take several months to be decided, but the Leach case is what is known as an interlocutory appeal, which deals with pretrial issues. Because the issues are related to whether the case will actually go to trial, the justices are expected to handle the case on an accelerated schedule.

The Skoda Yeti is due to be updated for 2014, and these first spy pictures reveal it'll get a sleeker look inspired by the latest Octavia and Rapid models.
Camouflaged to look like the current car, this test mule was spotted in the Czech Republic near the manufacturer's base. We're expecting the Yeti to ditch its centrally mounted rounded lights, in favour of a less controversial design. The grille will be narrower, the bonnet more sculpted and the headlights a little more stylish.
The daytime running lights used to be mounted in the two central headlamps but we're expecting them to move in to the headlights, with top-spec models getting a stylish new LED signature.
• Skoda Octavia review
• Skoda Rapid review
The rear of the new Yeti will also see big changes with a modified bumper, newly shaped numberplate holder and LED tail-lights. The interior is likely to see improvements, too, but the engine line-up is expected to be carried over, although a stop/start system is a possibility to help reduce emissions.
The public unveiling of the Yeti is scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with sales expected to follow later in the year.

Amazing prizes have been donated to Project AWARE for the Sport Diver 2015 Charity Auction in support of ocean protection and bidding is NOW OPEN!
Prizes up for grabs range from a fabulous 7-night accommodation package at the Malapascua Exotic Island Dive Resort including 10 dives for 2 people, generously donated by Ultimate Diving, to stunning jewelry donated by both Aquamarine and Reef Jewelry.
Ocean Conservancy today announced the global launch of Stemming the Tide: Land-based strategies for a plastic-free ocean – a first-of-its-kind, solutions-oriented report in partnership with the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment that outlines specific land-based solutions for plastic waste in the ocean, starting with the elimination of plastic waste leakage in five priority countries (China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand).
An international study led by a University of Queensland researcher has revealed more than half the world's sea turtles have ingested plastic or other human rubbish.
The study, led by Dr Qamar Schuyler from UQ's School of Biological Sciences, found the east coasts of Australia and North America, Southeast Asia, southern Africa, and Hawaii were particularly dangerous for turtles due to a combination of debris loads and high species diversity.
"The results indicate that approximately 52 per cent of turtles world-wide have eaten debris," Dr Schuyler said.
Experts from around the world are meeting in London today to launch the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), marking the start of an action plan to tackle the urgent problem of lost and abandoned fishing gear.
The GGGI, driven by World Animal Protection, has brought together leading experts, including the United Nations Environment Programme, the Marine Stewardship Council, Young's Seafood Limited and Australia's Northern Prawn Fishery to share their knowledge and expertise to ensure safer, cleaner oceans.
The Internet erupted with praise in August when United Parcel Service tweeted that it would stop shipping shark fins. But the decision — after a petition to the delivery giant garnered 178,000 signatures — addressed just one of many concerns about the ecologically vital but often threatened marine species.
The plastics we throw away have been mistakenly eaten by around 90 per cent of all sea birds alive today - and the rate is expected to grow to 99 per cent by 2050.
The figures, revealed in an international study published yesterday, are particularly relevant for New Zealand, which is considered the global centre of seabird diversity.
This July, Discovery Channel' s Shark Week returned bigger than ever before, making a splash as the highest-rated Shark Week in the event's 28 year history.
And because viewers can't get enough of all things shark, for the first time ever, Discovery is introducing "Shweekend", a special weekend of all-new Shark Week programming on Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30.
Plastic pollution in the ocean is a growing problem. This study, which is the first to investigate the presence of plastic debris in large pelagic fish in the central Mediterranean Sea, found that over 18 per cent of fish had ingested plastics.
Marine litter, defined by the European Commission as any persistent manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment, is an escalating environmental problem, reports Science for Environmental Policy.
Dive Against Debris champion, Rob Thompson, was delighted at the opportunity to discuss the growing problem of plastic in the ocean with the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall at the Ocean Plastics Awareness Day on July 22.
In full diving gear, members of the Dive Against Debris Volunteers UK group shared their unique views on what lies beneath the waves highlighting what for most people is out of sight, out of mind.
This coming fall season, UK audiences will be able to immerse themselves in the wonders of the ocean without getting their feet wet! After a highly successful first tour in 2014, the Ocean Festival World Tour is returning to the UK. The festival, which originates in Australia, will feature a brand new selection of the world's most captivating ocean-themed short films and will be shown in 24 towns and cities across the UK.
I'm a firm believer in practising what I preach, so, as soon as the opportunity arose for me to complete the Dive Against Debris Distinctive Specialty Course with B&J Diving, I jumped at the chance.
Already being in Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysia International Dive Expo, it was a quick hop, skip and a jump across to Tioman Island.
Sharks and rays are at a substantially higher risk of extinction than most other groups of animals. One quarter of all known species of sharks, skates and rays are listed as Threatened with Extinction on the IUCN Red List™.
Yet, over 1000 species that belong to this group play diverse, critical roles in the ocean ecosystem, are a source of food for thousands of people around the world, and provide many non-consumptive benefits to communities around the world.
Today, the European Parliament (EP) voted in Plenary in Strasbourg on the Pietikainen report, a circular economy report calling on the European Commission to increase its headline marine litter reduction target from 30% to 50% reduction by 2025. The report sends a vital message to the European Commission and Europe as a whole that the European Parliament is in favour of the circular economy as a way to greater resource security, increased jobs and growth, and to tackle marine litter.
The "most wonderful week of the year" – Discovery Channel's Shark Week on July 5-12 – is almost here! Starting next week, shark lovers or haters and intrigued or fearful fans will be glued to their televisions for a chance to get a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating ocean predators. Are you ready?
New Zealand has boosted the protection of sharks by signing the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation of Migratory Sharks.
Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy and Conservation Minister Maggie Barry have signed the agreement today which aims to improve the conservation of seven migratory shark species vulnerable to over-exploitation.
"This international memorandum is the first global instrument of its kind, and we join 38 other countries in becoming a signatory," says Mr Guy.

In the (correct) descent gully into Chimney Canyon
Boy, those sure are purrrty...
Minesh starts up on lead of P1 (5.7) a bit after 9:00am
Minesh heading up the stellar second pitch (5.8) following a great crack up the clean face. Note that the awesome dihedral to the left is purported to go at 5.10a and looks to be really nice.
Minesh follows up near the top of the fourth pitch. We linked pitches 3 and 4 (5.9+, 5.9) for one long, enjoyable pitch.
It's sure hard to beat a day like this! Fantastic weather and great climbing! Taking a break at the top of P4.
The second crux (5.9) of this route is on the sixth pitch. The crux moves can be protected with this 30 year-old 1/4" bolt. I opted to find a cam placement a bit higher instead.
Minesh following the final, seventh, pitch at 5.7. Loose, typical Sandias "kitty litter" covers much of the ledges.
Minesh looking psyched on the summit just before 2:00pm. For a couple of slow guys our time of 5 hours was pretty darn good.
Minesh supervises Roger belaying Lee up the final pitch. The route they climbed, Warpy Moople, shared the final pitch with our route. The timing was perfect.

Released: Oct 24th, 2012
Running Time: 193 Min.
Director: Rocco Siffredi
Company: Rocco Siffredi Productions
Distribution Companies: Buttman Magazine Choice, Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Biography(ies), Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Alice Miller, Polly (I), Natasha (I), Alison Star, Diana (I), Jessica Neight, Rocco Siffredi, Bella (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: POV
Director/performer Rocco Siffredi is a hard-working gentleman. The legendary Italian pornographer must constantly audition gorgeous European girls in his private office, testing their sexual skills by invading their tender orifices with his massive cock and spurting hot cum into their hungry mouths. It's a rough job, but dedicated Rocco is up to the task. "Rocco's POV 10" captures seven of the director's most recent one-on-one screen tests, conveying closeness and reality with a single camera wielded by the man himself.
Rocco has it made. In this lengthy release he has his way, a la POV, with seven gorgeous young girls of various nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. These are cozy, intimate affairs with just him, the girl and a camera capturing his every nasty thought and action.
Young Bella jump-starts his pulse with her natural breasts, teasing him into some tit-fucking oral. For pure innocence you can't get much better than the look on wide-eyed Jessica Neight as she gobbles Rocco and lies back awaiting his repeated plungings. Very busty Alison Star excels at an oral/hand action combo meal deal with rapidly flickering tongue action on the tip that leaves Rocco helpless and quickly drained. Two babes, Alice Miller and Polly, add anal to their quality Rocco time.
And so it goes, with everyone leaving happy, smiling, wide-eyed and ready for a rest. Good stuff.

Hi - I need to replace the wordpress logo with a custom logo, such as my theme already does in the login page, or the plugin theme my login does.
But this plugin seems to override all those settings.
It's really important that the register/approve message doesn't say WordPress, but shows the company logo instead.

I have a project folder that has multiple duplicate files that are named slightly differently to create "backups". So I have "file1.txt" and "file1 backup.txt". Is there a preferred method to capture the old history when I make the folder into a git repository?
Sign up

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
With out a lot of messing about, the simplest option is to just commit the full project folder as the first commit, then delete all of the backup files and finally commit your 'cleaned up' copy. That way you can access the copies of the old files any time you want, but they don't normally clutter up your working directory.
If you really want to try and reconstruct your history you might try using some of the techniques from Charles Bailey's Lightning talk at this years ACCU Conference:
Don't put them in at all! I don't know the exact way in Git, but in SVN you just don't add them to the repository. With a version control system you don't need another history - it just adds complexity.
You should alway commit to source control as soon as possible. Generally this is as soon as you have working code. The more often you commit, the less likely those other history files will be needed.
If you know what backups were taken when, you can do the following (manually
Cons: takes a long time if you have many files
Pro's: you can draw your history as you seem fit. Multiple file updates can be in one commit, or each file can have its own commit to update it, and everything in-between. You get a clean, condensed, complete history and all the backup versions are stored neatly in source control. You can do exactly what @Mark suggests in his answer, but that's even more fine-grained than file/backup based commits.


text: Jacobson Electronics manufactures two large-screen television models: the Royale which sells for $1,600, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,300. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2010 was as follows. Traditional Costing Royale Majestic Direct materials $ 700 $420 Direct labor ($20 per hour) 120 100 Manufacturing overhead ($38 per DLH) 228 190 Total per unit cost $1,048 $710 In 2010, Jacobson manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $38 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,260,350 by the total direct labor hours (217,378) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was: Royale $552 or ($1,600 - $1,048), and Majestic $590 or ($1,300 - $710). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Jacobson's controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Kitimat LNG, Apache MOU
Kitimat LNG Inc. announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Apache Corporation to supply natural gas to Kitimat LNG's proposed liquefied natural gas export terminal. The MOU sets a framework for Kitimat and Apache to negotiate a definitive agreement to supply 200 million to 300 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas feedstock per day to the terminal, which has a planned capacity of 700 MMcf per day. Apache also obtained an option to purchase an equity stake in the Kitimat LNG terminal. Rosemary Boulton, President of Kitimat LNG, said "The participation of companies such as Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS), GAS NATURAL, EOG Resources Canada and Apache gives our project strong momentum and reinforces the fundamental strength of our business strategy." As natural gas supply and reserves continue to increase in North America, Kitimat LNG's terminal will provide producers in Canada such as Apache with secure access to key worldwide markets. Apache recently released drilling results from the Horn River shale area in northeast British Columbia that strengthened earlier estimates that individual horizontal wells in the area potentially can recover 10 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Apache holds about 210,000 net acres in Horn River. Exploration and development activity in Apache's Canadian region is concentrated in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. The region comprises 4
