I was in a bookstore a few weeks ago and noticed that a well-known Christian speaker and author had recently released a book called "Change Your Words, Change Your Life." I was immediately struck by the title. If a person is looking for a positive change in his or her life, this book may hold the answer. After all, the promise seems straightforward and simple — if I can alter the way I speak, then this will alter the way I live. But is this true?

I have three wordpress websites. They have all been extremely slow since Friday. It takes at least 30 seconds for the site to load and at least that if not longer to access the admin.
Two of them are new companies and I'm trying to get them updated so I can launch, but the admin is SO SLOW that I cannot even make changes to the site. I have deactivated all plugins except for the Jetpack. Half of the time I will click on the "Pages" tab and it will just go to a white screen.
My hosting is through Godaddy, and I called to speak with them earlier. Everything is fine on their end.
Two of the three sites that I'm having the most trouble with:
1. Atlantaconventionphotography.com
2. Gwinnetteventphotography.com
Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!

AIGA is always reviewing its programs to ensure that what we
offer is in line with what members want and need. Although we are a century-old
institution, we have remained vital over the years by adapting and not simply sticking
with legacy activities. Through member surveys, conversations with stakeholders
and, most recently, sessions at "Pivot: AIGA Design Conference" last fall, we
have been examining our annual design competitions and their role.
The context has changed significantly since AIGA began its
competitions nearly 100 years ago: Inspiration is now accessible 24/7 online,
and designers can gain exposure for their work by publishing it online themselves,
rather than waiting to be selected and published by an annual competition. The
idea of a single jury meeting once a year to review past design for publication
in the future seems anachronistic to how design is shared, discussed and
critiqued in our daily lives. The issue is not with the value of a juried competition; it is with how slow and retrospective the process appears when so many receive daily alerts to blogs celebrating great design every day.
What's more, the playing field has changed: With dozens of
publishers and organizations offering competitions, the best examples of contemporary design do not necessarily get entered in any single competition. Hence, no single competition can
truly be a comprehensive review of the year's design achievements if it must depend upon what is entered. "The
bellwether of design excellence for 2011" would be a presumptuous statement for
any competition in this era of such fragmented participation. That reality—that no one place is THE place for great design to be showcased—also makes competitions less crucial to individual designers and as a resource for design audiences.
AIGA is not shying away from honoring stellar design. It is
simply trying to find new ways to do so, with:
One of AIGA's competitions remains important in the field of book and cover design, and there is little in the way of competing juried selections: "50 Books/50 Covers." AIGA is partnering with Design Observer and Designers & Books to continue the legacy of this competition—the competition chairs will be William Drenttel, publisher and editorial director of Design Observer Group, and Steve Kroeter, editor in chief of Designers & Books. A call for entries will be issued in the spring, a jury will convene in the summer and the announcement of selections will occur in the fall. Selections will be widely published and entered in the AIGA Design Archives.
The question becomes: With all of these activities, are
design competitions still the best way for AIGA to demonstrate the power of
design to business leaders, media and the broader public?
These developments, when coupled with AIGA members'
consistent urging to create more stories and case studies not only showing
design but also describing how design has created value for clients and made an
impact, suggest it is time to approach AIGA competitions from a new
Our competition for 2012, "Justified: AIGA Design Competition,"
invites designers to submit examples of projects from all media and communication design
disciplines, in the form of images and a description of the work's impact. "Justified"
represents the next generation of AIGA's competitions and seeks stories that
reveal the value design creates for clients.
AIGA believes its role is to reinforce all the dimensions of
The focus of AIGA's criteria may vary in emphasis among these
characteristics, but they will never ignore the critical contribution of each
in any successful design.
Case studies created for "Justified" will communicate the power of design that's
brilliantly executed—that reveals the role of a designer in a project, the
range of contributions a designer can make, and the effectiveness of design—to
audiences beyond our own profession. "Justified" invites work from all forms of visual communication, including books, branding, entertainment,
experience design, information design, organizational design, packaging, promotion
and service design.
We encourage you to participate; entries are due by March 31. This
next stage in AIGA's competition history will showcase great design while saying
so much more.

We have all heard about and perhaps used social networking websites in our personal lives, but have we explored all the ways to use a site such as Ning for our students? This session will show numerous ways to use Ning with assignments focusing on the four main component areas: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Examples will be from my own spring 2009, summer 2009, and fall 2009 classes. I will also show how to use various internet sources that can be linked or embedded into Ning. This slidshow also highlights some of the potential challenges when using Ning.

Happy Friday! Although this was a short week it felt like a marathon trying to fit all of my work & clients into 4 days. But all in all, it's been a good one. Last weekend included bachelorette festivities with one of my best high school girlfriends and this weekend includes a get-away reunion with my college roommate. Both girls are like sisters to me so I couldn't be happier. I'm finishing up a few clients, prepping last minute PBP workouts and then hitting the road for a weekend away.
Here are a few things that have made this week a happy one...
{my new baby}
{Lululemon socks gifted from a client}
{brunch at La Boulange}
{Fall's first rainy workday}
"It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come."
Dalai Lama
Have a great weekend!

Founder of Striving For More honored as Tar Heel of the Week
Diane Moore, Founder and Executive Director of Striving for More, was named 'Tar Heel of the Week' by the News & Observer for her personal and non-profit work guiding families of children with cancer.
Diane Moore's passion for helping families is personal, as she lost her young daughter to Osteosarcoma in 2008. During her family's tragic experience, Moore noticed that while her daughter's medical care was excellent, there was an alarming lack of emotional and spiritual support available in hospitals for children with cancer. She founded Striving for More with a mission of creating a community where all children and their families receive the critical support services they need.
Under Moore's direction, Striving for More implements programs that benefit children and families treated at both UNC Children's Hospital and Duke Children's Hospital. Programs accomplished to-date include patient support groups, book donations, the Beads of Courage program (http://www.striving4more.org/
"It is an honor to be named Tar Heel of the Week by the News & Observer," said Moore. "Most importantly, this recognition has brought more much-needed attention to childhood cancer, which unfortunately affects the lives of too many people in the Triangle. There are many ways our community can get involved to help make sure sick children and their families get the emotional support they need."
About Striving for More
Striving for More is a Triangle-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that children with cancer and their families receive quality emotional and spiritual support. The organization was founded by Diane Moore in 2009 after her nine-year-old daughter, Colleen, lost her battle with cancer. During her daughter's illness, Diane found that emotional and spiritual support services for children with cancer are under-funded, particularly when hospitals are competing for limited resources. Striving for More is dedicated to encouraging and funding quality psychosocial services, so that every child with cancer receives the critical support they need. For more information, please visit http://www.striving4more.org or http://www.facebook.com/

in trying to fix the problem with double posting every night, I ended up dropping the content that I had created... years of daily tweet digests.
There are various tools out there to get a backup of all my tweets.
But if I get the tweets back into that table akk_twitter, how do I get it to regenerate the daily digests?
Is there a way?
Any other suggestions, an alternative method.
I don't really care if that table is populated since it isn't front facing.
I just want to restore what I had as posts.
Also the double tweeting problem is very annoying.

The author of this volume has a special ability in making clear to any fairly intelligent reader the biologic processes associated with reproduction both in man and in animals. The publisher has done well in printing a book that is easily readable and artistic. The book is divided into six parts covering the basic biologic factors, sex rhythms, disturbances of the male and female development, determination of sex, sterility and fertility, and multiple births. The volume is enlivened with numerous quotations from literature, with epigrams and with case reports. It should be read with great interest not only by the public but also by physicians, who are frequently asked questions which this book answers.

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake hit southern Mexico on Tuesday, shaking buildings in Mexico City hundreds of kilometers away but so far causing no damage or casualties, officials said.
The quake struck at 2017 GMT in Guerrero state near Xochistlahuaca, close to Mexico's Pacific Coast, the US Geological Survey said.
The epicenter was not far from the border with Oaxaca state, but 300 kilometers (185 miles) away from Mexico City.
"Earthquake alert, pending," the mayor of Mexico City, Miguel Angel Mancera, initially said on Twitter, before later adding: "City review protocol completed. No damage or injuries."
After the alert was issued, residents in the capital poured into the streets.
"We ran out of the building because my son has the quake alert app on his mobile phone, but honestly, I didn't really feel it that much," one Mexico City woman, Amelia Galvan, told AFP.
In Guerrero and Oaxaca states, the quake alert sounded on radio stations and loudspeakers, sparking building evacuations. But authorities there reported no damage or casualties.

Friendly, helpful staff
Not enough tea/coffee facilities in the room particularly milk.
Nice and local for city of mechelen.
Parking within hotel carpark not available for minibus
The location to Budget car rental and the airport.
The internet charge was ridiculous, and the internet service unacceptable, possibly due to spyware used by the service. When you charge for internet access, it should not include breaches in privacy. This alone will cause me to never stay at this hotel or any other hotel in the chain again.
cleanness and hotels facilities (hotel shuttle on call during the night was very useful)
pleasant surprise. Desk clerk very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and tidy. Fantastic restaurant with chef. Would definitely stay here again.
distance from airport. Was a 23.4 E taxi fare one way, but was cheapest hotel within 10 miles. We were just spending the night before catching flight out in the morning so didn't want to pay the 250E the Sheraton at the Brussels airport wanted for one night.
Quiet location
Had some difficulty finding the motel
The room was clean and pleasant and the hotel well located for visiting Mechelen and the surrounding areas
It wasn't clear what was available for breakfast on the two price tarriffs i.e. full versus continental. The process for registering and then being charged for breakfast was not clear.
It was central and easy walking distance from the town. The facilities were good, including coffe and tea making facilities and a choice of bath and shower in the room. Also, as it is a modern hotel, there is a lift, so no walking up and down stairs with luggage. Check-in and check-out were easy and no problem with the booking.
Not really a first choice for a city break/holiday as it is more for business than a hotel with a lot of character, but the other side of that is that it has the facilities. In common with many hotels, they need more or bigger pillows. I don't know why hotels are so mean with pillows and it makes a big difference to the comfort. (A word about Mechelen is that it has a lot going for it, but its attractions are a bit spolied by the roadworks and is a bit scruffy around the edges - but that's not the hotel's fault.)
We liked the central location with the local bars and shops. The breakfast was very good and the staff were very helpful and pleasant.
Occasionally there was a strong 'drain' smell coming from the bathroom after using the shower
Very stylish hotel, consistent and highly attractive. Staff, room and breakfast were all excellent. The free apperitif on arrival was also much appreciated.
Central location, cleanliness, huge rooms and bathrooms, well preserved old building, excellent breakfast
This is not a hotel. It is a bed and breakfast. € 130 per night for a b&b in a provincial town is overpriced
Very nice place & people, very comfortable room and excellent atmosphere of the room.
the unique design and architecture of the room
the hotel had very limited parking. We had to park away from the hotel which was inconvenient and expensive
Location of hotel near the historic center of Mechelen, Excellent breakfast.
Good staff, nice relaxing atmosphere
The road works, the messy on the street parking and the shower curtain leaks on the floor.
clean spacious rooms, walking distance from the city center of mechelen
too expensive (paid 140 for the double), reception area and elevator could be updated.
The age of the hotel
There was nothing I did not like. Everything was ok.
The shower, resupply of water bottles each day
Very slow internet (weak signal on the 2nd floor), no Iron for ironing clothes (was also not supplied by my request)
Location Lake side view
staff friendly and super location
Shower was poor and I would like to see "bar menu" for those who do not want "a la carte" type meal
If staying in an historic brewery yard is your thing, then this is the place for you! Easy to find and perfectly located if travelling by car as it is on the edge of the historic core with the centre just a short walk. The staff could not be friendlier or more helpful.
It was comfortable, the food was good, the breakfast was good
It was hard to check in because we had to walk to a neighboring bistro
Host and Hostess were quite hospitable and told the guests staying in hotel funny stories.
100 Euro for one night in a relatively far location, bath room is quite small. 25 euro for one home-made "menu", did not know the meal and guest were so rare in that hotel lol~
I loved to stay there, next time I will stay here again.
everything was perfect.

text: Rock, Paper, Scizors! A Swords Dance Scizor Team (I really hope nobody has already used this title) Overview On my quest to try and make a team loaded with resistances and scarce in weaknesses, I panned out with a really, really crappy offensive team which lost nearly every single game I played--save one. In this final game, I managed to squeeze my Scizor out into play on a Ferrothorn and began to dance. After the predicted switch, I began to sweep his team. Granted, not many teams will be without a check to Scizor, one of the most popular pokemon in the game, but after seeing the amount of damage Scizor could do to an unprepared team, I needed to check into seeing if, with proper team support, Scizor could accomplish a similar task. Unsurprisingly, he can. Heatran @ Leftovers Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 248 HP / 100 SpD / 160 Spe Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk) - Stealth Rocks - Toxic - Protect - Lava Plume Heatran is my fall to in order to set up Stealth Rocks and is supposed to act as a lead. Unfortunately, packing weaknesses to fighting and ground, Heatran rarely manages a safe start or switch in early to set up rocks and mainly is used to sponge fire attacks for Scizor (although, in retrospect, this spot seems a bit unnecessary considering the fact that Scizor will most likely be kept in the back until most of his counters are checked or knocked out). It also seems Toxic may not be the best idea as it means I lose coverage in the form of either Earthquake or Earthpower. Comments on this spot please. I have also considered running the floating version of Heatran in order to avoid Earthquakes early, but I'm not sure I want to forgo the Leftovers recovery. *Tyranitar testing in Progress* Tyranitar @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Atk Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA) - Stealth Rocks - Pursuit - Crunch - Superpower Gastrodon @ Leftovers Trait: Storm Drain EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Sassy Nature (+SpA, -Spd) - Earthquake - Toxic - Ice Beam - Recover Gastrodon is one of my favorite special walls in the game. Blissey? Blissey who? Between Gastrodon and Heatran, there are few if any special threats that can worm their way through into the offensive core of my team. Toxic is used to cripple (again, perhaps Toxic on Heatran may be redundant as he can't switch into many of the...) bulky waters and other walls that enjoy staying in as long as possible. Earthquake and Ice Beam, naturally, don't pack much punch but can finish off weakened enemies or Pokemon weak to the specified move. I have considered replacing Gastrodon with another pokemon (Eeveelution, Clefable, Blissey) that can manage the special hits with synergy to Heatran in addition to providing clerical services with Heal Bell or Wish. For now, Gastrodon is a damn good sponge. As for right now, he is the only pokemon I can safely switch into Jellicent. While most variants carry Toxic, the chance of poisoning the enemy Jellicent is well worth it as he is a hard counter to my Scizor. If I can manage to get Zapdos in (avoiding the Ice Beam) his volt switch finishes it off. Tangrowth @ Leftovers Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Power Whip - Sleep Powder - Hidden Power Ice - Leech Seed Another Pokemon I've noticed significant improvement since the last meta. Tangrowth has seriously powerful physical bulk and can switch into and shut down almost any physical sweeper. Mixed sets, of course, spell complete and utter defeat for this green guy, but otherwise so long as Regenerator is working, Tangrowth sticks around usually to late game. Even opposing Scizor have trouble breaking his behemoth defenses. Originally I had used Knock Off to deal with Choice [ab]users, but this left me with little to no sustain. While unable to be killed with brute force, Tangrowth's many weaknesses are a real thorn in the side. I'm finding fewer and fewer circumstances in which I can utilize him. Bulky, defensive, Jellicent checks would be good replacement here (maybe another spot that could be filled by a Cleric?) I opted out of Celebi with her terribly typing, but in retrospect, Tangrowth's typing is barely an improvement and I may very well be missing out on some very needed support. Perhaps I could use Shaymin as a revenge killer instead of Zapdos and swap the defensive role to the electric bird. Zapdos @ Choice Scarf Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 HP Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Volt Switch - Hidden Power Grass - Heatwave - Extrasensory Dedicated revenge killer Zapdos, yeah! I love Zapdos as a Pokemon. He's bad-ass, pointy, and covered in lightning. I had originally planned on using his typing and stats defensively and then realized that, with a Choice Scarf, he covers my weakness to ground type moves while finishing off those who set up on me. Volt Switch gives fantastic momentum when paired with Mienshao's Fake Out + U-Turn. Unfortunately, this spot is being eyed by another similarly spiky candidate: Jolteon. With higher speed and special attack, why shouldn't I replace Zapdos with Jolteon? Really, please tell me. I haven't done enough testing to figure this out and Jolteon seems to perform rather poorly for reasons I can't identify. Perhaps the surprise factor from Zapdos is part of its advantage. Anyway, I've chosen Hidden Power Grass over Ice so as to take down any lingering Gastrodon or Swampert I couldn't finish off earlier. Ice is already covered by Mienshao, but I'm considering switching Grass to Ice as well on Zapdos in order to more comfortably deal with Dragon Dance Dragonite or Salamance. Extrasensory is filler. Really. It provides little to no extra coverage on Pokemon that would probably already be taken out by Zapdos' other 3 moves. Help with this spot. Mienshao @ Life Orb Trait: Regenerator EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Atk, -SpD) - Hi Jump Kick - Hidden Power Ice - U-Turn - Fake Out This guy wrecks teams. Period. While ghost Pokemon want to switch in on his Hi Jump Kick, but usually Fake Out gets blown on the switch preventing self-inflicted damage. In fact, I have yet to miss with Hi Jump Kick. Even Conkeldurr, if I switch in on a Bulk Up or get Volt Switched to, falls in one hit to Hi Jump Kick. Latios commonly out speeds me, so I usually have to defer to Gastrodon after a Fake Out. Normally, I can't predict if Heatran will be safe to lead or not, so about 60% of the time I lead with Mienshao. Fake Out + U-Turn is always a safe combination to start off with and can (hopefully) get Heatran in on the second turn, but this seldom happens. Hopefully I can get a strong pursuit user on my team in order to monopolize on the advantage of U-Turn and Mienshao's ghost magnet, but even without it he puts up a decent fight. Scizor @ Leftovers Trait: Technician EVs: 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Swords Dance - Bullet Punch - Bug Bite - Roost The star of the show: Scizor. While not always necessary to defeat a team (here's looking at Mienshao) Scizor can usually sneak in either early game on Ferrothorn/Forretress to set up if their team lacks resistance to either of Scizors' STABs or mid to late game after his counters have been removed. Basically Bullet Punch grants priority and Bug Bite the coverage and power. I'm wondering if, only for the sake of coverage, I should swap out Bug Bite for Brick Break so as to hit more Pokemon like Heatran for neutral damage. The only thing staying my hand is the fact that I'd have to hit him on the switch which is difficult if I'm already set up and beginning to sweep (IE: they switch on the kill and then outspeed me). Well, that's it! Give me some advice. Remember: Heal Bell, Wish, Pursuit, Phazer (or Hazer for that matter). That's my List-o'-Things-To-Add if possible. Thanks!

Thesis Topic: Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger studies of blazars
Thesis Supervisor: Paolo Padovani
Blazars are a class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) characterized by the fact that their non-thermal, strongly anisotropic emission is believed to be coming from material moving at relativistic speed pointing in our direction. Once considered rare sources, blazars are now being detected in increasingly large numbers at mm and gamma-ray energies by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), the Planck, and Fermi satellites. Faint blazars are also being detected as serendipitous sources in SWIFT-XRT (X-ray) images and the recently released WISE (near-IR) data is turning out to be extremely interesting for blazar studies as well.
Studies of blazars allow astronomers to touch upon a variety of topics, including the disk - jet relationship in AGN, jet physics, AGN feedback, radio source evolution, neutrino astronomy, etc.. In collaboration with Paolo Giommi, who is the director of the ASI Science Data Center (ASDC) located at ESRIN, in Frascati, Italy, and is heavily involved with the SWIFT, Planck, NuSTAR and Fermi missions, I am proposing a range of thesis topics, including:
All of the above are truly multi-wavelength studies, which will use radio, WMAP, Planck, Sloan, XMM, SWIFT, NuSTAR, Rosat, Fermi, (and more) catalogues and data. Follow-up with ESO telescope will also be needed. The thesis can be tailored to the student's preference and skills.
Here one can find my recent papers on these topics.

Mitchell is my favourite British fighter so I'm going to be on his side.
I think he's the better fighter also, my only concern is how seriously he takes his preparation. I do expect it to be a cracking fight regardless.

I think Burns has this, but it should be a great fight regardless. Mitchell's been too inactive for my liking, and I think it will show. Loved his comeback against Murray though.

[FIXED-4] Error on line 7 in designer-complete.js
I've just downloaded the designer and then I did the following in this exact order:
* added a viewport
* set its layout to border
* added a panel to it
* set its region to west
* added another panel to the viewport
* attempted to add an Async Tree Node to the West Panel. (I get that I should have added a tree panel to the border layout but still...)
I received this message:
An Error has occurred on line 7 in designer-complete.js.
TypeError: Result of expression 'a.component'[undefined] is not an object.
I clicked OK and all was well. But just reporting the message...
23 Mar 2010 5:08 AM #2
Thanks Matt. I've reproduced the issue. TreeNode's should have never been able to have been dragged into a Panel in the first palce!Aaron Conran

Also getting "An Error has occurred on line 7" message when attempting to "load data" on a datastore (see attached screenshots of error message).
Below is the code being generated. Note that I have *****'d out part of the actual URL since it is not publicly accessible.
classUsersStore = Ext.extend(Ext.data.JsonStore, { constructor: function() { classUsersStore.superclass.constructor.call(this, { storeId: 'usersStore', url: 'http://*******/json/loadAllUsers', autoLoad: true, root: 'Items', idProperty: 'ID', totalProperty: 'totalCount', fields : [ { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'ID', type: 'auto' }, { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'FullName', type: 'auto' }, { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'UserName', type: 'auto' }, { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'GroupName', type: 'auto' }, { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'Company', type: 'auto' }, { xtype: 'datafield', name: 'NoLogin', type: 'auto' } ] }); } }); new classUsersStore();
How does the "preview" work when calling external URLS that might require authentication? Is the underlying browser IE? FF? Other? Is there any way to set session or cookie data to work in the preview browser?

I also get this exact same error when trying to load data into a store. It matters not if its xml, json and I have validated both.
23 Mar 2010 6:41 AM #5
Some additional info & screen shots:
If I right-click on the datastore and choose "Load Data" I get the previously mentioned "Error on Line 7".
If I select the datastore and click the "Load data" button above the listing, next to the "Add Json Store" button, I get a "Unable to load data using the supplied configuration" message.
23 Mar 2010 7:16 AM #6
..and after closing out the designer, and opening it back up and loading the project again, when attempting to "Load Data" on the previously mentioned data store I now get:
"An Error has occurred on line 7 in designer-complete.js
TypeError: Result of expression 'delete i.dataCache'[undefined] is not an object."
23 Mar 2010 7:17 AM #7
Yeah. I'm getting the same error when trying to load a JSON Store:An Error Has occurred on line 7 in designer-complete.js.Then, when I try to change a property on the JSON Store, like unchecking "autoLoad", I get this error:
TypeError: Result of expression 'delete i.dataCache' [undefined] is not an object.
An Error Has occurred on line 7 in designer-complete.js.However, after I get that error, I'm able to uncheck autoLoad without getting it again... But re-checking it will bring the error message back.
TypeError: Result of expression 'b' [undefined] is not an object.
Also... when I look at the code view, it seems as if the autoLoad config option does not update to it's respective state... autoLoad will be checked on the Component Config property list, but will say "autoLoad: false" in the code.
Hope this helps you guys.

http://localhost/. If you are putting full URL paths in your configurations we should not be building the urls based on the two parts. We'll fix this.
That being said, I would suggest using relative paths in the url configurations and using the URL prefix as it was intended.Aaron Conran

Sugar Cookies (Light & Crisp)
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 12 mins
These Sugar Cookies are marvelous! Light, Crispy, Yummy and so easy. I got this recipe from a co-worker many years ago. Dieters beware--it is hard to eat just one. Tip-I have tried to substitute margarine in place of the butter, and the cookies were not as good. I have also used colored sugars for dipping the glass into for the holidays and that worked very well. Not recommended for rolled out cookies as the dough is too delicate.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 1⁄2 cup butter, no substitutions (softened)
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon butter flavor extract
- 2 1⁄3 cups flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and vegetable oil.
- Beat in egg and extract.
- Add next 4 ingredients and mix together. The dough will be somewhat soft. Refrigerate a few minutes if too soft to work with.
- Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in reserved 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in granulated sugar (or colored sugar if you prefer).
- Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
- Note: Cookies should be only very slightly browned. They will be a more of a light golden color.

The only complaint I received about this recipe was that I didn't double it. I got exactly 24 cookies from the recipe, divided between the five of us. They were all gone in just a few minutes! I can't wait to make these again (doubling the recipe of course!). Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These cookies did not at all turn out like the picture. I rolled mine into balls and baked them at 340 degrees for about 15 minutes and they came out perfect. The looked like little puff balls. They taste more like almond that sugar because of the almond extract. Maybe next time I'll try putting crushed almonds in the batter.
I made these cookies for Christmas!! I rolled them in colored sugar. They were very good!! In fact they were the first to go in my Beauty Shop!! I loved the crisp flavor! I will make them again. Thanks for sharing!!

Mark Teixeira will amp up his rehabilitation from a calf injury by going to the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa on Monday. He plans to eventually play in an instructional league game.
Teixeira said he has no target date for a return, but GM Brian Cashman has mentioned the end of next week in Toronto.
"I don't want to put any timetable on it," Teixeira said. "We did that last time and it put pressure on everybody to get back at a certain time. I want to take it day-by-day."
Teixeira first hurt the calf on Aug. 27. He didn't play again until Sept. 8. Since diving to try and beat a game-ending double play at first in Baltimore, Teixeira has been out. If the Yankees weren't in a pennant race, Teixeira said he wouldn't have pushed himself.
"That's why I came back early," Teixeira said. "Let's be honest, if we had a 10-game lead, I would have not have been back. Everyone knows that. We all knew that, but when you have an opportunity to help your team -- I thought at maybe not 100 percent, still being able to walk, to help the team -- I wanted to be out there. I was battling. I'm trying to come back as soon as I can."
Teixeira planned on hitting in the cages on Thursday and hoped to do some work on the fields by the end of the weekend.
"You just have to make sure that he is ready," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I think it has been 12 days so far. He is not really run. He has not done a whole lot. He hasn't done anything. Last time, he had been doing some things. He'll go Tampa and we'll see if we can get our player back."
Teixeira said the calf is still swollen and sore.
"Just by feeling it right now, you can tell that is swollen, tight and sore," Teixeira said. "So once that goes away and they can see that I'm running full speed, making cuts and being able to do everything I can on a baseball field, then I'll be able to come back."

Protection of those fleeing or at risk of persecution, torture, or extreme danger represents a centerpiece of international and US immigration law. It also constitutes one of the most pressing and unattended challenges in the US immigration field. The US refugee protection system, broadly understood to encompass refugees, asylum-seekers and non-citizens in need of short-term protection, has ambitious goals and diverse responsibilities. It seeks to screen, admit and promote the integration of refugees; to adjudicate political asylum cases; and to offer temporary protection to persons from designated countries. It also seeks to detect and prevent the admission of persons that raise national security, public safety, and fraud concerns.
To address the need for concentrated academic and policy attention to this pillar of the US immigration system and the international system of refugee protection, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) published a series of papers on the US refugee protection system that offer recommendations to strengthen and reform the system.
The full collection is now available for free at http://bit.ly/JMHSrefugeecollection.
The individual series articles are available in CMS's public policy journal, the Journal on Migration and Human Security (JMHS):
The US Refugee Protection System on the 35th Anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980
Donald Kerwin
In 2013, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) initiated a project to bring concentrated academic and policy attention to the US refugee protection system, broadly understood to encompass refugees, asylum seekers and refugee-like populations in need of protection. The initiative gave rise to a series of papers published in 2014 and 2015, which CMS is releasing as a special collection in itsJournal on Migration and Human Security on the 35th anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980. This introductory essay situates the papers in the collection within a broader discussion of state compliance with international law, impediments to protection, US protection programs, vulnerable populations, and due process concerns. The essay sets forth extensive policy recommendations to strengthen the system drawn from the papers, legislative proposals, and other sources.
Temporary Protected Status after 25 Years: Addressing the Challenge of Long-Term "Temporary" Residents and Strengthening a Centerpiece of US Humanitarian Protection
Claire Bergeron
This paper examines the legal parameters of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States and traces the program's legislative history, exploring the congressional intent behind its creation. It argues that TPS has mostly been used as a tool to provide long-term protection, which runs contrary to congressional intent in establishing the program and has placed TPS recipients in a "legal limbo" in which they are unable to fully integrate into the United States. The paper discusses administrative and legislative remedies that would attempt to realign the TPS program with the goal of providing temporary protection to individuals fleeing crisis situations, as well as uphold the US tradition of integrating long-term immigrants.
Unfulfilled Promises, Future Possibilities: The Refugee Resettlement System in the United States
Anastasia Brown and Todd Scribner
Since World War II, the US domestic resettlement system has evolved from one that responded to crises in an ad hoc manner to one characterized by an expansive and dynamic partnership between the federal government, states and voluntary resettlement agencies. However, more than three decades after the passage of the Refugee Act of 1980, the program suffers from a lack of adequate financial support for transitional assistance and integration services, gaps in coordination and information sharing among participating agencies, and a backlash against the program in certain receiving communities. This paper highlights specific improvements that would address these issues and strengthen the US resettlement system moving forward.
Problems Faced by Mexican Asylum Seekers in the United States
J. Anna Cabot
This paper examines the reasons for low US asylum approval rates for Mexicans despite high levels of violence in and flight from Mexico from 2008 to 2013. It details the obstacles faced by Mexican asylum seekers along the US-Mexico border from the time they encounter immigration officials until a determination is made on their claim, including placement in removal proceedings, detention, evidentiary issues, narrow legal standards, and (effectively) judicial notice of country conditions in Mexico. The paper recommends that asylum seekers at the border be placed in affirmative proceedings (before immigration officials) and be eligible for bond. It also proposes increased oversight of immigration judges.
Humanitarian Protection for Children Fleeing Gang-Based Violence in the Americas

Children's Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America: Evidence from the Mexican and Latin American Migration Projects
Katharine M. Donato and Blake Sisk
This article examines child migration from Mexico and Central America using detailed information on the social and demographic characteristics of children and their parents from the Mexican and Latin American Migration Projects. It investigates the extent to which children: (1) enter the United States without legal authorization to do so; (2) are more likely to cross the border now than in the past; and (3) have parents who have migrated to the United States. The analysis shows a strong link between parental migration and the likelihood that a minor child will migrate to the United States. Moreover, children's lifetime chances of making a first unauthorized trip shift across different periods of entry. The findings support the idea that children are incorporated into the migration process through their ties to family members, and suggest that children need protection in the form of family reunification and permanent legal status.
The Intersection of Statelessness and Refugee Protection in US Asylum Policy
Maryellen Fullerton
Stateless persons face gaps in protection and in many cases experience persecution that falls within the refugee paradigm. However, US asylum policy does not adequately address the myriad legal problems that confront the stateless, who have been largely invisible in the jurisprudence and academic literature. This article analyzes two federal appellate court opinions that shed new light on the intersection of statelessness and refugee law in the United States. It makes recommendations for developing legislative, regulatory and other policy guidance concerning statelessness claims.
Creating a More Responsive and Seamless Refugee Protection System: The Scope, Promise and Limitations of US Temporary Protection Programs
Donald Kerwin
Temporary protection programs can provide haven to endangered persons while states and non-governmental organizations work to create durable solutions in sending, host and third countries. This paper outlines international standards for the design and operation of temporary protection programs, and identifies gaps in protection for de facto refugees and other at-risk populations that seek protection in the United States. Among other policy proposals, it recommends that Congress create a non-immigrant "protection" visa for non-citizens who are at substantial risk of persecution, danger, or harm in their home or host countries.
An Overview of Pending Asylum and Refugee Legislation in the US Congress
Melanie Nezer
There has been no significant legislation related to the asylum process enacted in Congress in nearly a decade. During the past several sessions of Congress, bills have been introduced that would make significant changes to the country's asylum laws and refugee admissions program. This paper provides an overview of the pending legislation and the changes proposed. These bills demonstrate the continued interest of members of Congress in these issues and the need for reform, and they provide an important tool for advocates for education and outreach to Congress and the public.
Reconfiguring the Law of Non-Refoulement: Procedural and Substantive Barriers for Those Seeking to Access Surrogate International Human Rights Protection
Mark R. von Sternberg
This article discusses two major areas of concern which affect access to surrogate international human rights protection. First, it examines the procedural bars to seeking asylum and other forms of refugee protection, including interdiction on the high seas, safe third country agreements, and ancillary restrictions like detention and filing requirements. Second, it reviews the substantive legal standards governing eligibility for protection and the conformity of those standards (or the lack thereof) to the international norm of non-refoulement. It argues that the United States should look to advances made in the legislation and jurisprudence of other states as a model for its adoption of standards—both procedural and substantive—that could help restore its historical commitment to human rights and humanitarian concerns.
On the Margins: Noncitizens Caught in Countries Experiencing Violence, Conflict and Disaster
Sanjula Weerasinghe, Abbie Taylor, Sarah Drury, Pitchaya Indravudh, Aaron Gregg, John Flanagan
Recent history has witnessed numerous humanitarian crises in which noncitizens have been among those most seriously affected. This paper seeks to shed light on the protection implications for noncitizens caught in countries experiencing violence, conflict and disaster by examining five prominent crises across three continents between 2011 and 2012: the Libyan uprising; the Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan; flooding in Thailand; Hurricane Sandy in the United States; and the conflict in Syria. It identifies factors that influence the vulnerabilities of noncitizens and presents promising practices that limit exposure to harm through targeted measures addressing their particular needs.

today i needed a copy of wordpress-2.0.2.tar.gz to diff against an old installation.
on http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ this file is MIA.
i suppose it is missing for a Good Reason. but in all honesty, i can't think of a reason good enough when juxtaposed with really needing a copy of a file that isn't there.
imho, there should be a _complete_ release archive in some obvious documented location--maybe i missed the memo.
is http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ the official release archive or is there another location that is more official (and complete)?

I had alluded to the unusual accumulation last week on declining prices, now we have rallied from the low 9 to high 12 very quickly, and W Ross has purchased another very large position. This is an extremely undervalued company with very little competition left. AGO is now in strong hands and is worth north of 25 and much more going out in time. Shorts beware, there is a new long gangster in town and its not just Wilber Ross
I do not think there is a huge short position, so this is fresh buying by longer term bulls

Rocks of Age
By David Quammen
Published: July 5, 1998
By John McPhee.
Maps. 696 pp. New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $35.
About 20 years ago John McPhee, until then a writer whose graceful small books had reflected whimsical enthusiasms, muted concerns and discreet bemusements, decided to tackle something big: planet Earth. More specifically, he set out to describe the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere (that is, the planet's stony crust and the fluid mantle that lies beneath) as understood by the science of geology. Plate tectonics, the theory of sliding and colliding crustal slabs and of mobile continents aboard them like igloos on ice floes, would be his central theme. That theory had broken through to acceptance only in the late 1960's (decades after it was first proposed), rushing in upon geologic orthodoxy
like student revolutionaries storming the palace. Its belated arrival, and its astonishing content, promised the framework of a good story. Characteristically, McPhee undertook to tell the tale in an orderly, unassuming way: he would travel back and forth across the United States on Interstate 80, in the company of several well-chosen geologists, looking over each scientist's shoulder while he or she read clues from the exposed rock of road cuts. The jake brakes of speeding semis would serve as soundtrack for a paradigm shift.
As first conceived, this had seemed a modest project that would yield maybe a long article for The New Yorker, or a short book, representing ''a sort of cross section of North America at about the 40th parallel, and a picture of the science,'' McPhee recalls. After a year's travel, he transcribed his notes and roughed out a structural plan, then saw that what he'd outlined was not one book but a handful -- enough, in fact, to ''keep me writing for more years than I wanted to spend consecutively on the subject.'' So he chose to write them intermittently with other work. ''Basin and Range'' appeared in 1981; ''In Suspect Terrain,'' two years later; ''Rising From the Plains'' in 1986; and ''Assembling California'' in 1993. Those four deal with the more overtly dramatic rock of America's eastern and western extremes -- the tectonically rumpled mountains, valleys and faults of the Appalachian region, the Rockies and the Far West. Characters and ideas reappear among them. ''Annals of the Former World'' now gathers all four together into the Gondwanaland they were always meant to be. It also offers a narrative table of contents, by way of preface, and a new essay titled ''Crossing the Craton,'' which explains why the great American Midwest -- the zone McPhee previously left unexplored -- is not quite so flat and dull as it seems. The combined result is, in some senses, a big book. There are many pages, many facts, many nifty turns of phrase and deadpan ironies and many, many different names for varieties of rock.
McPhee has been fascinated by this science, it seems, since he took his first course at the age of 17. ''I used to sit in class and listen to the terms come floating down the room like paper airplanes. Geology was called a descriptive science, and with its pitted outwash plains and drowned rivers, its hanging tributaries and starved coastlines, it was nothing if not descriptive. It was a fountain of metaphor.'' Given his own estimable talent for description, and his disciplined reluctance to stretch beyond it, the match of writer to subject might seem congenial. Then again, it's perhaps too congenial for comfort; he writes of geology with the ardor of an aficionado, not from his more customary perspective -- of ignorant but curious outsider to any given subject, standing as proxy for the ignorant but curious reader. Those geologists who early captured his admiration communicated in English as opposed to math, McPhee notes approvingly, and ''they could name things in a manner that sent shivers through the bones.'' Maybe. But his own invocations of discordant batholiths, mosaic conglomerates, plagioclase crystals, stratiform gabbros, not to mention migmatite, tincalconite, szaibelyite and phlogopite, don't send shivers through my bones. Still, his prose is never less than musical, even when the music may be cool and opaque.
Of the four interconnected books, each claims its own wedge of the subject, and each features its own presiding expert. ''Basin and Range'' eases into plate tectonics by exploring the peculiar mountain-and-valley striations in Nevada and western Utah, with help from a Princeton professor of geology named Kenneth Deffeyes, ''a big man with a tenured waistline,'' whose hair ''flies behind him like Ludwig van Beethoven's'' and who lectures in sneakers. McPhee joins the Beethovian rockmeister on a road trip in quest of insight and economically exploitable silver-ore tailings. ''In Suspect Terrain'' presents a skeptical critique of the airier leaps of tectonic theory, courtesy of a down-to-bedrock field geologist named Anita Harris. She fled from a Brooklyn tenement upbringing into professional geology and became a world authority on the mysterious little fossils called conodonts, a specialty that seemed hopelessly arcane until conodonts proved useful for finding oil. ''Rising From the Plains'' surveys the eloquent rock exposures of Wyoming, which reveal a taller column of earth history than visible anywhere else on Interstate 80 between New York and San Francisco. McPhee's guide here is David Love, known as ''the grand old man of Rocky Mountain geology,'' who himself rose to eminence from an isolated ranch in central Wyoming. Finally, ''Assembling California'' follows the travels and thinking of a tectonicist named Eldridge Moores, by way of wondering where that state came from (it seems to have floated up in sections and added itself to the continent like a redwood deck) and where it will go next. Those, plus the new essay on the Stable Interior Craton, the flat fundament beneath the Midwest, are the major elements of this book.

Germany releases one of the last Red Army Faction membersBreaking News
Christian Klar, one of the last members of the terrorist far-left Red Army Faction to remain in prison, was released Friday after serving 26 years of a life sentence, according to the Justice Ministry in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.
The Red Army Faction, which was also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang, carried out a series of assassinations of leading German figures during the late 1970s and early 1980s, killing 34 people. It disbanded in 1998, several years after renouncing violence. It subscribed to a Marxist-Leninist ideology and sought to overthrow the capitalist West German government and to fight perceived American imperialism.

Honda says 'formal consultation' will take place to consider cuts
Honda to axe 800 jobs at its Swindon plant
Japanese car giant Honda has announced it is to cut 800 jobs after a slump in demand across Europe. Workers at the firm's plant in Swindon, which employs 3,500 people, were told the news this morning.
Honda, which has been making cars in the UK since 1992, has never had job losses before in this country, but it said demand for cars in Europe, including Spain, Italy and Greece, had fallen by a million in the past year.
The company gave the statutory 90-day notice of consultation and said it would seek to avoid compulsory redundancies.
