text: Home/ Sixth Form Education/ Your Questions Answered Your Questions Answered Expand all Collapse all How and when do I apply to Hills Road? Applications to the College must be made by 12th January 2016. Students attending a CAP (Cambridge Area 14-19 Partnership) school, and a few other participating schools, make their application on-line through UCAS Progress. Students from other schools must apply on paper using the form which may be printed from our website. Details of our application procedure and admissions policy are on pages 66-70 of our prospectus. If you have any further questions, please contact Mrs Claire Walker, Admissions Officer, at: email@example.com (including your telephone number in case this is the most appropriate way for us to respond). How many places will be offered this year and when do you make offers? We expect to be able to offer about 1200 places for advanced level courses for entry in September 2016. We expect to make offers of places before Easter 2016 to in-area students, and in the first two weeks of May 2016 to out-area students. Where do Hills Road students come from, and what do you mean by 'in-area' and 'out-area' 'In-area' applicants are defined to be those who, during the academic year prior to admission, are: attending a CAP institution, or; living with their parent(s) in the Local Authority defined area served by the CAP institutions. Other applicants are defined as 'out-area', including those moving into the area. If a student lives outside the CAP area and attends a private school in the CAP area, that student counts as 'out-area' for admissions purposes. About 85-90% of our students are 'in-area' and about 85% are from state maintained schools. Will I be invited for an informal guidance interview? Although we reserve the right to make adjustments in the light of applications received, interview invitations are expected to be sent to those 'in-area' applicants: whose application has been received by the closing date of 12 January 2016, and; who place us as first choice A level centre in their application, and; who satisfy the minimum entry criteria*, and; who are qualified in at least two subjects applied for (on the assumption that a third subject for which they were qualified could then be explored at interview). *For an interview or offer you will need an average estimated grade profile of B or above across your Key Stage 4 qualifications, based on Mathematics, English Language and your next four best full GCSE/IGCSE subjects or level 2 vocational subjects (Diploma/BTEC etc). If needed, an online tool is available on the new student information page of our website labelled: average B grade checking tool. With the number of offers made to 'out-area' applicants increasing, we have changed the way we offer post-application advice and guidance. Unfortunately, we are not normally able to offer out-area applicants a guidance interview. Instead we have added more detailed information to the College website to ensure that we continue to provide advice about subject choices and career plans. In addition, we capture key information about out-area applicants' subject choices and their needs through an online 'course confirmation' process. Do you select students on the basis of the informal guidance interview? No. We offer places according to the criteria given in the admissions policy on pages 68-70 of the prospectus. The purpose of the informal guidance interview for in-area applicants is to discuss their subject choices, allowing us to offer guidance where appropriate. We also take the opportunity to ask about additional support arrangements, for example for a learning difficulty or a disability. It is also an opportunity for in-area applicants to ask any questions they may have. How many subjects will I take, and how many should I include on my application? Most students will take four subjects, comprising three A level subjects plus the Extended Project qualification – which gives all our students the equivalent of an additional one year AS level. These elements make up the core of our study programme, together with enrichment and tutorial support. Some particularly well-qualified applicants (including all those taking Double Mathematics) will have the opportunity to take four two-year A level subjects if they wish. We realise that many of you will not have finalised your subjects at the time of applying. Depending on how clear you are about your choices, you are advised to enter between three and five A level subjects on your application in your priority order at the time. These subjects and their order can be adjusted later if required (particularly through the interview for in-area applicants or through the corresponding out-area course confirmation process). Will three A level subjects and the Extended Project provide a strong base for progression to the most competitive universities? Yes. Most university offers will continue to be based on three A levels. In recent years, only about 15% of Hills Road students have continued to study four subjects through to A level. The small minority of university offers which rely on a fourth subject tend to involve Double Mathematics and two other subjects. Furthermore, the Extended Project qualification is featuring increasingly in university offers. For example, a university might make an offer such as: A level grades AAB, or: A level grades ABB, plus A or A* in Extended Project Universities have been clear that they do not expect students to be studying four AS level subjects. Here, for example, is what The University of Oxford has said on the subject of curriculum reform: "A fourth subject to AS level has never been a requirement at Oxford. Our courses require students to have not less than three A levels, or other equivalent qualifications. Some candidates do take additional AS levels, A levels, or other qualifications such as the Extended Project Qualification. Additional qualifications can be one way of demonstrating the academic abilities that will be required for the intense studying of an Oxford degree but they are not essential." Reference FAQ4 at: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/course/entrance-requirements/faqs-level-reform What advice would you give to students about choosing their subjects? We expect to be able to offer about 1200 place for advanced level courses for entry in virtually any combination of subjects; we design our timetable to try to match the combinations requested by applicants. Needless to say, you are advised to choose subjects in which you are interested and which will together support your future higher education and/or career ambitions. Those ambitions may mean that you are already sure about two or even three of your subject choices. If this is not the case, it may be advisable to choose at least one and possibly more of the following 'facilitating subjects', providing that these subjects play to your strengths and you would enjoy studying them: Mathematics; Further Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Biology; Geography; History; Languages (Modern and Classical); English Literature. Further advice about subject choices is available on pages 11 and 12 of our prospectus. You should also verify whether or not you are qualified for your subjects by checking your estimated grades against the entry requirements for each subject, which may be found in our prospectus and on the new student information page of our website. Can I study an A level subject that I haven't taken at GCSE? Yes. There are many new subjects available. See page 11 and the individual subject pages of the prospectus for the entrance requirements for each course. What specific advice would you give to students wishing to study Mathematics and science subjects at AS/A level? Firstly, in common with many other post-16 centres nationally, we require students wishing to study Maths and science subjects (Physics, Chemistry & Biology) to achieve A grades at GCSE in these subjects (the exception being a B grade requirement for our Use of Maths A level course). These grade requirements reflect national research and local evidence which indicate that a significant proportion of students who start these subjects with lower GCSE grades are unable to complete the courses successfully. Secondly, even if you are predicted A grades in Maths and sciences, it is important to be sure that these are subjects in which you have a genuine interest, possibly because your future plans require you to study them, and also that you are willing and able to rise to the challenge of more advanced A level work. A conversation with your current Maths and science teachers ought to help you to identify the extent of your scientific or mathematical interest. What are the entry requirements? As detailed above, in order to be considered for an offer of a place you will need at least a B grade average profile. You will also need to satisfy the entry requirements for each subject, which may be found in our prospectus and on the new student information page of our website. In addition, information provided by your school will need to indicate no significant concern regarding your attendance, punctuality, general behaviour, attitude to study and aptitude for your proposed course of study. Do I need to have estimated A* grades? Unless you want to take Double Mathematics, for which an A* grade in GCSE Mathematics is required, you do not need to be estimated any A* grades, although such grades will be taken into account when assessing the overall GCSE profile of students. How does the College view IGCSE qualifications? We value IGCSE qualifications and the grades awarded in exactly the same way as GCSE qualifications. How does the College view applications from students who have taken applied and/or vocational subjects as part of their Key Stage 4 programme? We recognise that many students will be taking at least one vocational/applied course at Key Stage 4. The inclusion of such a course in a student's programme does not of itself advantage or disadvantage the application in any way. What matters is that the student's Key Stage 4 programme provides a suitably balanced range of courses to ensure successful progression onto the chosen AS/A level course. How do you prioritise between 'in-area' applicants if Hills Road is oversubscribed? Should the number of applicants satisfying the minimum criteria exceed the number of places available, places will be offered by taking into account the following extra criteria: the available capacity of the subjects applied for by an applicant whether an applicant satisfies a higher 'adjusted profile', which will depend on the subjects applied for and on that year's pattern of applications the extent to which an applicant is recommended by their school or college. In making offers to the minority of applicants who fall below the relevant adjusted profile, preference will be given to those attending a CAP Partner school. Are some subjects more likely to be oversubscribed than others? Application patterns vary from year to year, but students should always apply for the most appropriate subjects which meet their interests, strengths and progression needs. What happens if I apply, but Hills Road is over-subscribed and I am not offered a place? We will consider all applicants in accordance with our stated admissions criteria. It is the applicant's responsibility, in conjunction with the advice they receive from their current school, to make appropriate applications to ensure that they receive at least one offer. As always, we will work closely with colleagues in other post-16 centres to seek to ensure that all students are placed on an appropriate course. From the day when GCSE results are published those without an offer have the opportunity to register on our 'reserve list', from which we recruit additional students (e.g. more than 100 in August 2015). Do you still offer some places to students from outside the area? Yes. Whilst the majority of places will be offered to in-area applicants, we expect to be able to continue to offer places to out-area applicants, not least because there will always be places in a range of subjects which cannot be filled by in-area students. Whilst we strongly encourage applications from out-area students, we also advise them to apply to a more local school where a place can be guaranteed. Many of the students recruited from our post-GCSE 'reserve list' are out-area. What happens if I am offered a place but do not achieve my estimated grades? We shall aim to allow you to follow your offered course even if your grades are lower than estimated, providing that you achieve at least an average B grade profile and remain qualified for your subjects. Where this is not possible, for reasons such as timetable clashes or over-subscription of particular subjects, guidance will be offered about suitable alternative subjects. However, enrolment to a fourth A level subject would be conditional on your actual examination grades. Should you not achieve the grades required for any of your subjects, or if you fall below a B grade average profile, we would discuss with you on your enrolment day in August whether we could modify your course here or whether to help you to find a more appropriate course at another centre. I will be studying the first year of an A level subject at my school in Year 11. Would I be able to join the second year of this A level course in my Year 12 at Hills Road? We would have to investigate carefully whether this was possible, including in relation to the compatibility of examination specifications. If it proved possible, you might be given work to do over the summer period and/or need to attend A level classes here in the summer term after completing your GCSE examinations. How many enrichment activities can I take and when will these take place? You will have one lesson a week timetabled for enrichment in Year 12; however, many students take part in additional enrichment and extra-curricular activities outside timetable hours. If needed, would I be able to get extra help with my studies? All departments provide subject workshops – sometimes known as 'surgeries' or 'plus' sessions – mostly at lunchtimes. These give students the opportunity to work through difficulties with a teacher on an individual or small group basis; in some cases a whole topic is reviewed with a larger group. In addition, the Study Skills Centre is a resource available for all students for advice and support on a wide range of study techniques and skills, as well as offering more specialist learning support. In addition, students who find it difficult to organise themselves or to use independent study time productively can be referred to our Student Support Officer for mentored support in timetabled periods. I have a special educational need or disability. What support would be available for me? We have a wealth of experience of working with students with a whole range of needs and have a specialist team available in our Study Skills Centre who work with individual students. If you have an Education Health and Care Plan and intend to put Hills Road as your first choice centre for post-16 study, then please ask for a member of our Study Skills team to be invited to your annual review in Year 11. This is to ensure that we are able to anticipate your needs and to support you with transition to post-16 study. Similarly, if you currently have any kind of exam access arrangement, we will work with you to review that evidence and to provide the most appropriate support. Will I be told what to do in my free periods and independent learning periods? No, but you will be designated a number of periods of Independent Learning on your timetable which we hope you will use wisely. You must expect to spend additional time on your studies both inside and outside College hours, as we recommend that students spend at least four hours a week on homework and independent learning for each of their subjects. You will be advised on how to use this time to reach a sensible balance between study and relaxation to meet the requirements of your courses. You may choose to use some of this time for extra-curricular activities or for socialising with friends. Nevertheless, you will need to use some of this time to prepare homework and other assignments. Is there any financial assistance available? The Government's 16-19 Bursary Fund provides limited support through the College to students who face financial barriers to participation in education. Details will be given to all students during the induction period. Does the College provide free meals for eligible students? Yes. As for the Bursary Fund, details will be given to all students during the induction period. Can you offer help with transport and transport costs? We do not operate our own bus service and students need to plan their own transport arrangements. Some help with costs is available from Cambridgeshire County Council. If you live more than three miles from Hills Road Sixth Form College (but within the designated CAP area for access to Hills Road courses), Cambridgeshire County Council offers a reduced price season ticket for bus travel. The railway companies usually offer a rail subsidy to full time students. Further information about transport for post-16 education is available at: www.cambridgehsire.gov.uk/post16edtransport. When will students enrol at the College for courses in 2016? Most enrolment is likely to take place between the publication of GCSE results on Thursday 25 August and Tuesday 30 August 2016. The Induction Programme for Year 12 students is expected to take place during the week beginning 5 September. Exact dates for these processes are yet to be finalised. When will I take the examinations for my subjects? Examinations/assessments for the new two-year linear A levels will be taken at the end of Year 13. AS examinations will no longer be taken at the end of Year 12, except in Summer 2017 for the minority of subjects which will not become two-year linear courses until September 2017. How many students go on to higher education? Typically, around 90-95% of Hills Road leavers progress to courses in higher education. I think I want to go to university but I have no idea what I want to study. Will I get some help? Yes. There is a programme of careers advice for all students. The tutorial programme has a focus on careers and planning for higher education or employment with training in the spring term of your first year. In addition, students are encouraged to make use of the resources in the Careers Department as necessary and may request an interview with a careers advisor at any time during their course. I'm thinking of a gap year. What help and advice is available? Typically, about 30% of Hills Road leavers take a gap year. There is a great deal of advice and help available in the Careers Department, including talks from former students, a gap year evening in your second year, and resources in the careers library with details of how to plan the year. I am worried about fees for university. Is there any information provided about this? The Association of Parents and Friends organises a talk for parents in the spring term to introduce them to the system. The application process for student loans and awards will be explained in Year 13. If you have a query that was not answered at Open Evening then please email Claire Walker, Admissions Officer, at the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com (including your telephone number in case this is the most appropriate way for us to respond).

Released: Aug 01st, 1992
Running Time: 53
Director: Janus Rainer
Company: Star Maker Video
Cast: Duchess Von Stern, David Christopher, Sandy Sunshine, Mistress Candace
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
This tape is one in a series of "Matriarch Classics" from Star Maker Video. From the looks of it, it was originally shot sometime in the late 70's or early 80's. It has been re-edited, and as such, has lost most of its punch. What's left is two heiresses stranded on a desert island with an old guy they order around and spit on a lot. Then David Christopher (in the guise of a P.I.) comes to "rescue" them – and ends up being dominated, slapped, and so on by the two women. Mistress Candace does a pale imitation of Lee Caroll – and that's about as good as this one gets. The only thing "classic" about this tape is the music – which was recycled for most of the early 80's sexvids – and even it doesn't hold up very well.

Lakeside Recovery vs. Spokane Crew, 2:30 p.m.
Columbia Basin Desert Dogs vs. Wilder Senior, 5:30 p.m.
All games at Civic Field.
In the nightcap of Friday's action, Lakeside Recovery shutout Wilder Junior 10-0.
Wilder committed five errors in the field and yielded 10 walks to the Columbia Basin Desert Dogs in a less than stellar start to the tournament.
Wilder also managed just three hits at the plate in the blowout.
"I think we had nine games in about six or seven days last week so we gave the boys a little time off, and boy, they were a little lackluster in this one," said Wilder Junior assistant coach Buck Gieseke.
"We need to get the bats going and get the defense a little spruced up before the next game."
Wilder did hold an early lead, 1-0 after the top of the first inning.
Alex Morris walked and stole second and moved to third base on the throw to first after a Nigel Christian grounder to third.
Morris scored when the throw back to the third base bag by Columbia Basin first baseman Issac Wersland was wild.
Wilder Junior starting pitcher Dan Harker struggled from the start.
He plunked Columbia Basin leadoff batter Sheldon Kosa and followed that up with walks to Jesse Ward and Austin Merdock.
Kosa scored on a Wersland fielder's choice.
Harker then attempted to pick off Wersland at first base but the throw was low and scooted past Wilder first baseman Lane Dotson, plating Ward.
Cooper Larson later lined an RBI single up the middle to give the Desert Dogs a 3-1 lead after one inning.
Columbia Basin put the game well out of reach in the next frame, batting around in the order and putting nine runs on the scoreboard.
Harker recorded just one out in the second before being chased by the Desert Dogs.
He allowed a Zach Askin bunt single to open the inning and Spencer Vela reached base on a throwing error.
After a sacrifice bunt moved the runners over, Askin scored when a throw to home plate went wide.
Harker then allowed a walk to load the bases and consecutive bases-loaded walks, followed by a second RBI single in as many at-bats by Larson.
He left the game with Wilder Junior trailing 7-1.
Wilder's James Thayer came on in relief and promptly plunked the first batter he faced to force home another Columbia Basin run.
Thayer forced Askin to pop to short in his second at bat of the inning but Columbia Basin wasn't finished.
Vela nailed a three-run triple to the gap in right field to score a run. Vela then scored the ninth and final run of the inning on a Wilder error to five the Desert Dogs a 12-1 lead.
Wilder scored its other run in the top of the fourth.
Dotson walked and Harker reached base on a fielder's choice. Harker stole second and reached third on a Columbia Basin throwing error, and then Adam Iseri-Fuji plated Harker with a sacrifice fly to right field.
Columbia Basin scored its final run in the bottom half of the inning when Thayer allowed a walk with the bases loaded.

BullsEye Marketing Systems Partners With Comcast to Execute Award-winning Marketing Campaign
BullsEye Marketing Systems announces it partnered with Comcast South Florida on a highly effective cross-channel campaign which earned Comcast a 2011 Mark Award. The Mark Awards is the cable industry's most prestigious marketing competition.
BullsEye Marketing Systems and Comcast worked together to develop an upgrade campaign for video-only customers who had not responded to the usual marketing efforts. BullsEye executed an integrated cross-channel campaign, utilizing demographic and psychographic data, which ultimately improved the product presentation while enhancing the customer shopping experience.
Comcast's successful campaign included a postcard personalized with the recipient's name, city and length of history with Comcast. Second, the postcard provided the option to visit a personalized website containing more product information and special offers. A unique phone number was used on the postcard and then repeated on the website. The customer was able to call immediately, research online and call, or research online and order online. All offers presented were determined by market research which indicated their individual purchase propensity.
The campaign's response rate was an impressive 498 percent improvement compared to traditional direct mail during the same time frame. Cost per response was also much improved—approximately $46 cheaper per response than direct mail. The total line of business connects was approximately12 percent, compared to four percent using traditional direct mail methods.
"We value our strong partnership with Comcast and are proud to have worked with them to execute the compelling cross-channel campaign that achieved such strong results," says Stephen Horstmann, president, BullsEye Marketing Systems. "We congratulate Comcast on receiving the respected Mark Award."
Mark Award recipients are known throughout the cable and entertainment world as "best in class." Nearly 800 entries are judged annually and winners are selected by more than 100 elite marketers during a rigorous judging process. The award will be presented in October.
Headquartered in West Chester, Pa, BullsEye Marketing Systems is a privately held company led by an experienced management team. BEMS™ works with agencies and brands nationwide to support interactive direct response initiatives for clients such as Comcast, Cox Time Warner, and many non-profits and political committees. For more information, contact Andrea Cavanaugh at 484-356-2240 ext. 205 or visit www.bullseyemarketingsystems.com.

I want to create a third array, ArrayC, associative, that matches the Values of ArrayA with ArrayB keys, and gives ArrayA keys the relevant ArrayB values.
In other words, from this example
ArrayC (3 => fruit, 7=>corn, 8=>lager)

Do I have to stage an intervention here?
I might have no choice with this kid, Darrius Heyward-Bey. The Oakland Raiders rookie wideout is under all kinds of pressure after being the upset pick of the 2009 NFL draft, the seventh selection overall, ahead of the Hands-Down Best Receiver, Michael Crabtree.
Worse, the friendly, humble, funny, 6-foot-2, 206-pounder is dangerously in denial.
So, Darrius, what's it like having your career buried by fans, writers and ESPN analysts Cris Carter and Todd McShay before your first snap?
"It's been fine," the former Maryland star said. "The coaching staff told me that I was the pick they wanted. They said I fit best in our offense."
How have you handled the pressure?
"Same way I always have," he said. "As long as I come here and work hard, that's all I can do. I don't think the fans know what I can do. I don't think anyone here woke up early to watch Maryland games last year."
How have your new teammates -- maybe privately questioning your selection -- treated you?
"Great," he said. "Everyone's treated me like a normal teammate. I forget that I was the seventh pick."
He'll remember soon enough. Every few years, a team picks a player that the public hates. Think Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush and Vince Young. Or Donovan McNabb over Ricky Williams. Or Joe Mauer, not Mark Prior.
This year's guy is Heyward-Bey. Oakland picked him despite the presence of Texas Tech's Crabtree and Missouri's Jeremy Maclin on the board, and despite puny comparative numbers (15 career touchdowns to Crabtree's 41 and Maclin's 33).
He has puny comparative everything, really, except speed: Heyward-Bey ran a combine-best 4.3 40-yard dash.
Speed is seductive and addictive to Raiders owner Al Davis. He couldn't resist. And the pick was widely ripped -- Carter did not mince words moments after the pick on April 25 (see video above).
The former NFL standout stands by his opinion of the rookie.
"Nobody in the football world except the Raiders thought he was the best receiver," Carter says now.
"To me, the pick does not make sense. He was honorable mention All-ACC [Atlantic Coast Conference]. So he disappeared in ACC games. So if you don't think he's a franchise receiver, going to make the Pro Bowl five or six times, you don't take him that high."
Heyward-Bey's answer to his critics? In his first Raiders' minicamp, he had three consecutive drops and a pulled hamstring.
This week, he aggravated the hamstring while running an out pattern and was forced to leave practice. And yet he's ... relatively happy?
"The second I got drafted, seeing the smile on my mom's face, it was a dream come true," he said. "I love being at practice, grinding it out with the guys."
Does he read and watch what's being said about him?
"I don't," he said.
Maybe he's onto something. The best thing about having your career declared dead before it's lived is the chance to prove everybody wrong.
Nobody can accurately judge at this point. Everyone in Houston hated the Williams pick. Folks said the former North Carolina State star disappeared in ACC games, too. Remember, he handled the pressure by ignoring it.
Four years later, he's more dependable than Bush or Young. Far better, too.
It takes years to judge a pick, not an offseason workout.
Heyward-Bey was dejected during his first minicamp, but nothing else has fazed him. That's no surprise from someone who many thought couldn't translate a stellar track career at the McDonogh School (Owings Mills, Md.) into college ball. Heyward-Bey never moaned when the Terps' coaches couldn't find ways to shake him free of double-teams.
"I've been dealing with stuff like this my whole life," he said.
Heyward-Bey's situation in Oakland isn't perfect. The team hasn't won more than five games in a season since 2002. Five different head coaches have walked the sideline during that span. But expectations are impossibly low. I mean, Johnnie Lee Higgins led Oakland's receivers in catches last season with 22.
Across the Bay, Crabtree is already anointed a game-changer on a San Francisco 49ers offense starved for one. But Crabtree won't practice and improve every day against a Pro Bowler like Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
Niners quarterbacks Shaun Hill and Alex Smith don't seem better than Oakland counterpart JaMarcus Russell.
And Oakland has explosive young talent in RBs Darren McFadden and Michael Bush, whom Heyward-Bey can help, having learned to block in Maryland's run-first offense.
Niners coach Mike Singletary recently claimed he almost made Crabtree cry when the rookie ran with a broken foot before the doctors cleared him. Raiders coach Tom Cable calls Heyward-Bey "a brilliant young man" who will "handle every hurdle quickly."
He'd better. Patience is short with first-rounders.
And he won't get much sympathy from his teammates, who have already passed on the rookie's longtime nicknames -- "DHB" or "Hey-Bey" -- and anointed him "Big Money," knowing that he'll get at least $10 million guaranteed.
Time will tell whether that's money well-spent.

Police are investigating two robberies that took place in the city over the weekend.
A 54-year-old city man told police he was beaten and robbed of merchandise because he refused to buy cigarettes for two younger men. They could not produce identification to make the purchase themselves at a North Side drugstore.
The man told police he went to the CVS drugstore on Park Avenue at 8 a.m. Sunday to shop for various items. He said two men were arguing with a cashier who refused to sell them cigarettes and cigars without identification. The men asked the victim to make the purchase, but he refused.
The victim said he purchased his items and left the store only to be met by the two young men somewhere near Ford Avenue, where he was beaten and various keys were stolen from him. The victim told police he was beaten because the men were angry with him for not buying their cigarettes and cigars.
The victim was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center for treatment of a bruised temple, bruised left eye and chest pains.
In a separate incident, a 21-year-old city man told police he was driving along Market Street near Williamson Street on Saturday when he was involved in a car accident with a car containing two men. He said he tried to exchange information with the driver, but the passenger began beating him.
The man said he ran away and returned to his car a short time later to discover all of the belongings inside his vehicle were missing.
A guy refuses to buy cigarette's for under age kid's,& get's beat up & robbed. It take's 2 of em',because one of them ain't got the ball's to do it himself,& the same with the car accident. He try's to do the right thing,& he also get's robbed. What's with these people? I used to be proud to say I was from Youngstown,but not anymore. Now I'm embarrassed to say that. What a shame.
That behavior is everywhere ...not just youngstown ohio it is national news More people are turning away from values morals and respect and the Ten Commandments
I agree with Starofesther that these little parasites have no morals and Censoredship makes an excellent point about where most of these crimes take place and part of the reasons why.
An excellent point is also made about deeds.
It's not enough to pray and sit quietly while hopeing you're not the next victim.
Well now is the time to act to protect yourself and you family.
I urge every law abiding citizen to learn how to use a weapon properly,obtain their ccw permit and arm themselves.
How dare these knuckle draggers rob and beat a fellow citizen because he refused to break the law on their behalf.
I'm sure these welfare rats would have robbed the man regardless.
I sit here this morning wishing I had been able to take the victims place.
I assure you there would at the very least be one less subhuman parasidic piece of trash roaming and robbing decent folks and most likely there would be 2 less.
I wouldn't hesitate for even a fraction to open deadly fire once assured no other innocent person would be harmed.
Neither myself or any family memeber will be a silent victim.
We have the right to protect ourselves,our families and our property from this vary type of attack !!!!
The more decent law abiding that arm themselves the better.
The more of these low lives we give a dose of their own deadly medicine to the safer and better off decent,working folks will be !!!
Remember friends God helps those who help themselves.
Blast the trash!!!!!
We'll all be better off for it !!!
Steelwagon, I'm starting to see more and more, "No Guns Allowed", decals on store windows and it makes one wonder what in the hell these folks are thinking. They, like our federal government, are trying to disarm honest folks (and customers) and advertise to the thugs that they're safe to rob as no one inside is likely to be armed. If you shoot one of these animals, current law is likely to side with the perp in both a criminal and in a civil trial of you. Guess we just have to take the chance in that situation, don't we?
The scum and thug mentality in our society is pervasive

I have an iphone 1 gen and the IOS version 3.1.1 the latest for 1st gen iphone. Suddenly I am not able to slide the slider which unlocks the home screen.
Your phone has likely hung. Press and hold the power button to try to power it off. If that still fails to happen, the other solution would be to hard reset the iphone:
To reset the iPhone, simply press the POWER/SLEEP button and Home button together. Hold them until you can see the boot screen, which is with black background and Apple logo. One point to note is you have to release both buttons at the same time.
This will not erase your data.
If the iPhone fails to work after that, you might have to restore it using iTunes. But I don't think that's the case.

One thing I've learned, after more than a decade in the business, is that mere mortals can look model-esque, provided they follow a bit of expert advice.
By Didi Gluck
WebMD Feature from "Marie Claire" Magazine
Beauty Moves to Make Before You're 30
THIS IS NOT A PICTURE of me. But one thing I've learned, after more than a decade in the business, is that mere mortals can look model-esque, provided they follow a bit of expert advice. Oddly, despite writing hundreds of articles full of such advice, I never followed it myself before turning 30. But then I hit 30-and, well, it wasn't pretty. That's when I vowed to actually practice what I'd preached. And you know what? It made a difference. So, without further ado, I bring you the 30 beauty moves I wish I'd committed to before 30. Luckily, it's never too late to get back on track, lookswise.
1. FOCUS ON YOUR EYES when you want to make an impact. They're what people notice first. False lashes, black liner, shimmery shadow, and good brows will take you far, even if you don't wear lipstick and haven't washed your hair in three days.
2. AVOID CREAM-TO-POWDER FOUNDATION unless you're really oily. If your skin is combination, normal, or dry, the product will suck all the moisture out of it as it evaporates.
3. SIDESTEP STREAKS BY MIXING SELFTANNER WITH MOISTURIZER before applying. This dilutes the formula so you don't look stripey.
4. BLOWDRY RATHER THAN CHEMICALLY STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. Most stylists say they'd rather see you use a blowdryer every other day (even though you risk heat damage) than apply harsh chemicals to your hair. I learned the hard way.
5. LEARN HOW TO BLOWDRY LIKE AN EXPERT. The real reason you can't replicate the way your hair looks after a visit to the salon? Poor blowdryer skills. Ask your stylist to show you exactly what she does, step-by-step. (For example, once I stopped using a round brush on my bangs, I finally got them to lie flat.)
6. SEEK PROFESSIONAL BROW HELP. Brows are like the hair on your head-dramatically better when groomed by an expert.
7. BUY THE RIGHT TOOLS for the job. I now rely on an eyeshadow crease brush (by Bath & Body Works) and an angled blush brush (by T. LeClerc). They make application goof-proof.

Fifty years ago last June, in 1904, the American Medical Association held its Annual Meeting in Atlantic City, N. J. This meeting was particularly notable because many of the leading physicians of that time took advantage of that meeting to establish the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, later simplified to National Tuberculosis Association. These leaders included, among many others, William Henry Welch, William Osier, Hermann M. Biggs, Edward Livingston Trudeau, and Lawrence F. Flick. The establishment of this pioneering voluntary health agency in connection with an Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association is symbolic of the close and cordial relationships that have existed between the two associations for over half a century. The chief way in which this new association was different from preceding organizations was that it represented a definite combination of medical and nonmedical interests unified to tackle a specific health problem that

It is very foolish to feed foxes or badgers. They are wild animals and should not be encouraged to look to humans for food.
09 Aug 2013 09:45
Surely one could say that about wild birds too, but think of the pleasure people get from watching them.
09 Aug 2013 10:02
Welsh onion yes they are wild animals but the winbeen was very harsh they only get fed when times are hard... And types we do love watching them but would never o near them...
09 Aug 2013 10:34
Was the winbeen harsh, Stacey? Nasty that.
09 Aug 2013 14:38
If you tempt wild animals into your garden they may lose their fear of humans which makes them vulnerable. They may be tempted on to roads where they will be run over. They may also raid hen houses and dustbins and bee hives.
And if you have hedgehogs in your garden it's curtains for them.
If they make a mess or cause damage someone will come on this board asking how they can get rid of the animal/animals.

Lol waterbutts the spell change is horrid no here with the iPad!! I agree welsh onion that wild animals are becoming tamer.. The badgers i my garden have been using it as their route for 40 years I'm the temporary one!!

I have a badger problem, only started this year. These little loves have destroyed my lawn by digging it over every night, it now looks like the battleground on the somme. I tried a strong wire fence all way round but they have actually chewed large holes in the wire and still get in.
After reading above I think I will be shopping for scotch bonnet chilies tomorrow.
Watch this space....!!!
07 Aug 2015 22:48
I have a badger problem like many of you, but only recently. I think this is partly because they are now over populated a bit like seagulls - both whom are protected by law, unfortunately. They were attracted to two things 1) a bees nest under my railway sleepers in the ground, and 2) worms under my lawn. They have dug a foot deep hole for the bees and plenty of scratching and nose sucking on my now patched lawn, which we have watered well this year. One of my neighbours, a lovely couple, both passed away this year and there house is empty and their lawn untouched. I tried putting urine (from a water bottle) around the boundary hedges and entrances but that did not work (it kept the mother-in-law away). Perhaps I will make them a large bowl of chilli soup followed by peanut butter sandwiches with a worm crust topping by a large notice saying 'keep off the grass'! If all fails follow them home and the next evening when they are at yours go and dig up their lawn!
08 Aug 2015 08:49
There are several badger setts within a couple of miles of my house and soon after I came here (years ago now) the badgers made a lovely job of digging up my lawn! The garden boundaries consisted simply of post & rail fencing and hawthorn hedging so I arranged for a local fencing contractor to fix some stock netting around all the boundaries. It was simple to attach it to the post & rail, and in order to "fence" the hawthorn hedge, short posts (approx. 4ft left above ground) were put in at the foot of the hedge and the netting fixed to those posts. Over the years the hawthorn has grown through and the posts & netting are no longer visible.
Stock netting - the sort which is used to keep livestock enclosed ( i.e not chicken wire) - is totally badger-proof. It's far too strong for them to get through, and perhaps the wire fence Ferline referred to is not the same sort.
Stock netting looks like squares & rectangles, not hexagons e.g. "chicken wire" - it is attached so that the rectangles are at the bottom of the fence line and the squares at the top. This is because the area of each rectangle is smaller than that of the squares and so prevents young lambs and suchlike from getting their heads through the gaps at the bottom.
08 Aug 2015 09:20
Watch out that the badgers don't dig their way in - Springwatch this year showed how a badger had attempted to dig under the fence newly installed around The Scrape - thankfully the fence goes well below ground level and extends back towards the badger for quite a way, to prevent tunnelling under. They also have electric fencing along the top - as we saw on Springwatch, badgers are quite good climbers, getting a good six feet up a tree trunk!
08 Aug 2015 10:27
It's kept them out for the past 20 or so years - so I reckon it works! They trot along the field on the other side of the fence these days, so I suppose the first generation of badgers who'd been used to getting in actually gave up, and the "pathway" now is a bit different, so I guess the later generations follow this altered route. There are some quite clear badger paths through the hedges and alongside the field edges round here - and, sadly, there's a dead badger on the kerb about a quarter of a mile away. A few weeks ago I dragged a dead one from the middle of the main road at the top of the lane. There are literally dozens of badgers within a couple of miles or so these days, and I see carcases on the roadside all too often. No hedgehog "bodies", no foxes, some rabbits, some grey squirrels - but more dead badgers than the rest put together.
08 Aug 2015 11:02
That's good!
I think the Springwatch night camera revealed that there was one badger in particular who had developed a taste for the eggs of waders and gulls nesting on the islands in the Scrape - it was thought to be that individual who made a strong attempt to dig his way under the fence - fortunately the fence proved effective
Growing up in rural East Anglia the sight of a badger was very rare indeed - nowadays wherever I travel around here I see evidence of both of living badgers and sadly of them as roadkill as well. I see at least one dead badger on most journeys through the countryside. There are very few dairy farms in this area nowadays , so they're not perceived to be causing problems around here.
Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose.
08 Aug 2015 11:17
Certainly causing problems for dairy farmers here - my neighbour gave up milk production a couple of years ago - it was costing him more to produce than he was being paid for the milk. He decided to have a few heifers, as he missed the cattle so much. No more - unfortunately - as they've "reacted" to the TB test and have had to be destroyed, so he's given up heifers too. I really miss seeing the dairy cattle - grew up on a dairy farm - so am glad I took a few pics some years ago of the dairy cows grazing just a few feet from my back door. The garden's quite shallow at that point, so I got some good shots!
I am now really concerned that dairy farming is so difficult these days - can sympathise with those who took the milk from supermarket shelves and gave it away. Do you think that people would really object to paying a few extra pence per litre if they understood just what was going on? I know that I'll probably be accused of being provocative if I mention "townies" ! !
08 Aug 2015 11:38
I too started my life on a dairy farm - this was in Bedfordshire, Pa kept Red Polls and Dairy Shorthorns Then the family moved to Suffolk - we then had a mixed arable farm with pigs and poultry.
We get our milk from this local farmer http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10433359/Marybelle-the-local-dairy-farm-raising-the-food-bar.html who supply the farm shop on the edge of the city where my OH works. It costs a bit more than milk from the supermarket, but you can taste the difference - even if you only use skimmed milk as we do. And the yoghurt and creme fraiche is superb
08 Aug 2015 12:17
Pa had three dairy farms and a milk bottling plant - supplied the local towns & villages. Before all that, the milk was delivered twice daily, direct from a churn via a pony & milk-float. Some ancient family pics of my sister and I when we were toddlers, sitting on the pony's back whilst she was still standing there "put to" the float at the end of the milk round. The pony was called Girlie, and died in 1947 having reached a great age - a bit like me now! Initially the cattle were shorthorns and Ayrshires but I the 1950s Pa changed to Friesians. We grew most of what the cattle were fed - so in some ways it was what nowadays you'd call "mixed farming". Eventually had a combine harvester etc. but I still have (in the shed) Pa's scythe and the huge hay knife which was used to cut the hay from the stack before Jones Balers started making the machinery to bale it.
My land has been used these past two years by a contractor who grows potatoes for McCains frozen chips - it was fascinating seeing the modern machinery in action - I remember how it was done when the only things available were carthorses!

Amy just watched Joey for the first time while we went away for a week. We appreciated the updates she sent. Joey came home happy, healthy and tired. We definitely plan to use Amy again.
This was our first experience with Rover and it was fabulous! Amy was a perfect pick for our beloved Lady. Amy did a meet-and-greet beforehand and sent photo/text updates daily (since she knew we were nervous about the process). When we came to pick Lady up, she was happy and looked wonderful. We will definitely be using Amy and Rover again. Thank you!!
Amy was just great with my dog Toto! I don't go out of town often but I will definitely book Amy's services again. I was grateful she was able to take Toto on short notice, June 30 before the holiday weekend. Any fears about leaving my dog with a stranger were immediately dispelled by meeting Amy.. Her house and yard are nicely set up for pet sitting, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Toto with ...

I am writing an application that interprets a time delayed stream of data. The data arrives at consistent intervals, and each data packet consists of 3 primitive values.
I need to process this stream to calculate a value every time a new packet arrives. The calculation includes the need to include 'look-back' values, hence it may only produce an output value after a given number of packets have arrived. The types of functions I apply to the buffered data include, SD, MEAN(OVER RANGE), MAX/MIN etc, all basic statistical functions.
I have coded this using buffers, but I am thinking - what I am basically building is a fixed function pipeline... this must have been done before in .net...
Is there some library that I can use to 'fluently' (preferably) construct my function pipeline, and then simply pump packets into it, and read out the various results that are generated?

Alex Barasch is a 19 year old Biology student and the current RSC Ambassador for Oxford University, who, as a lover of early modern drama (and theatre in general), takes full advantage of the RSC Key's BP £5 tickets whenever possible.

Maria Aberg's production of Doctor Faustus is a compelling one from the outset. It opens with RSC veterans Sandy Grierson and Oliver Ryan walking on stage and striking a match: the lead whose match burns out first "loses" and is forced to take on the role of Faustus, the eponymous doctor who sells his soul to Lucifer for 24 years of supernatural power and impunity, while his counterpart plays the devil Mephistophilis. This mirroring continues throughout, as the two swap lines, share monologues and imitate each other's physicality, emphasising the strength of their contract— and culminating in a delightfully intimate end.
Aberg's decision to cut the comic scenes in the middle of the play resulted in a fast-paced, unrelenting performance. In particular, the treatment of Benvolio's (Tom McCall) humiliation and attempted revenge was tonally excellent, and while Ryan's manic Mephistophilis was sometimes brutal, Grierson shone as a palpably tormented Faustus whose breakdown is reflected by the ensemble around him. As everyone he encounters grows increasingly grotesque and inhuman in both appearance and behaviour—the faceless soldiers who attend on the Emperor communicate in ominous clicks, and the Duke of Vanholt could pass for Gluttony—he no longer knows whom to trust.
The visible purity and seeming normalcy of Helen's childlike spirit comes almost as a relief to both the Doctor and the audience when he first summons her, until it becomes clear that here, too, something is off. In this, one of the most unsettling moments of the production, Faustus is forced to confront the hollowness of the "pleasures" that have cost him his soul. The clever doubling of scholars and devils makes subsequent scenes even more sinister, and we begin to understand Faustus' paranoia: has the crowd come to entreat him to entertain with his magic or drag him to hell at last?
These bold choices in costuming and characterisation are complemented by Naomi Dawson's simple yet evocative set (the pentagram Faustus draws when he first summons Mephistophilis remains as a striking reminder for the duration) and Orlando Gough's stunning score, by turns discordant and sensual. All in all, a powerful and innovative interpretation not to be missed.
Doctor Faustus is now playing in the Swan Theatre until 4 August, 16-25 year olds can still get BP £5 tickets for this production – just enter promo code 1625 when booking.

A Decision Aid in the management of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer
This project is a collaboration between the Surgical Outcomes Research Centre in Australia and Dr Tim Whelen, in Canada, and has developed a decision aid for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer deciding whether or not to have adjuvant chemo/radiotherapy before or after their surgery. The aid is on a computer screen used interactively in the surgical consultation, with patients provided with the same material in a booklet form to take home. The decision aid was piloted in 2004 with participants in the Rotary Bowel screen program, and is currently being piloted in rectal cancer patients. A feasibility study with surgeons is planned for 2006.
Investigators: Phyllis Butow, Michael Solomon, Tim Whelen, Glenn Salkeld, Martin Tattersall, George Rhuby, Jane Young.

Yeah, I actually heard in another forum about Specialized frames having this issue.
One did, what I want to do....add some clear coats of laquer.
I can put a piece of paper in there and then it's perfect, almost a little too tight.
So that's how much of a gap there is all around, but my digital caliper has an empty battery so I can't measure.
I tried 4 different 31.6 seatposts, they are all the same.
(Hopefully) Good News for all future LT buyers, got a response from Alisa:
===========================================Maybe you can get the seatpost clamp in better size .
Anyway , thanks so much for your suggestion , we'll check it and make it better in the future production .
Nice day for you .
EDIT: This is definitely to 95% the same frame:
Especially after watchen the (slow loading) video, I'm pretty convinced.

Contempo Luggage by Biaggi
The more you travel, the more you notice a bag that tips over when you lug it onto the curb, won't fit in an overhead bin, adds unneccessary weight, and slowly but surely contributes to jetset-induced fatigue. Now consider this addition to the luggage department: the soft-sided Contempo roller bag collection from Biaggi.

Hotel Demetria, Guadalajara
"There is a saying that if you can make a business successful in Guadalajara, you can make it successful anywhere," says Hotel Demetria owner and architect, Iván Cordero of his hometown. Sandwiched between two historic houses—Luis Barragán's Casa Franco and Pedro Castellanos Casa Quiñones—Hotel Demetria, Cordero's first building, is part of his larger effort to preserve Guadalajara's architectural history and instill a sense of "social conscience in tourists and locals."

Hyatt Regency, Minneapolis
When Michael Suomi of Stonehill & Taylor describes the $25 million interior redesign process of the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, he calls it a "multi-part architectural narrative." Included in the story line are themes of industrial production and a broader "Made-in-America" strategy. Though materials and manufacturers were priced globally, Minnesotan options turned out to be both less expensive and more fitting, making this project a worthy prototype for designing with regional sustainability in mind. We tour the hotel to see the efforts in action.

Design Destination: Columbus, Indiana
Dwell readers and fans of NPR, unite. Public radio stations have been airing a summer travel series from NPR's Arts Desk called "Destination Art" that explores "off the beaten track" cities across North America, where listeners can tune into the theater culture of Stratford, Ontario (home to Justin Bieber), the art scene in the far-flung Texas town Marfa, and one of our personal must-sees, the architectural legacy of Columbus, Indiana. Dwell sent photographer Leslie Williamson to Columbus in 2011 to shoot the fabled Miller House, an Eero Saarinen–designed home and one of America's foremost modernist residences. Including, but not limited to, the Miller House, here's what else you shouldn't miss in this "Midwestern Mecca for architecture."

The Conservatorium, Amsterdam
The Conservatorium is among the newest in the European crop of design hotels. Architect Piero Lissoni has added his touch to what was originally a 19th-century bank by Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel. One of the adaptive reuse plan's boldest moves includes retaining the original facade and adding a multistory glass atrium. There, guests of the hotel can take a lounging break or dine on a meal while gazing up at one of Amsterdam's historic buildings. Due to its proximity to many of the city's museums, the hoteliers also hope that the Conservatorium also strikes a chord with locals. Arresting as the public spaces of this contemporary-meets-classic hotel are, the interior boasts all the marks of luxury accommodations: restaurants, a bar, spa and wellness center, and 129 guest rooms and suites. Let's take a look inside...

Porches Inn, North Adams, Massachusetts
In 1985, the Sprague Electric Mill in North Adams, Massachusetts, closed down. Like many similar western Massachusetts towns supporting heavy industry, North Adams relied on its factories to provide the jobs and sense of community that are at the core of a thriving city. While cultural attractions in nearby Williamstown and Great Barrington had kept the youth and creative classes hovering in the area, the town itself was in danger of falling off the map.

Sleeping In: The World's Slowest Hotel
Hulking on the edge of the trendy Eastern Docklands in Amsterdam, the Lloyd Hotel is a storied mammoth. It was first an emigrant hotel for moneyed travelers before they set sail for the Americas (after a stint in the adjacent Quarantine building for a thorough scrubbing down); when the Germans occupied, it was converted into a prison for members of the resistance; in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the artists came. The building, a repository of three generations of European history, reopened in 2004 as a hotel once again, and Cultural Embassy. For the past two years, it has also been the site of a massive slowing down.

The NoMad Hotel, New York
One block away from the scene-making New York outpost of the Ace Hotel, in a district mostly known for its wholesale garment industry, is a Beaux Arts showstopper anchoring the corner of Broadway and 28th Street. The recently-opened NoMad Hotel, distinct from the exterior owing to its giant cupola, is not just a coincidence but a companion property (and aesthetic foil) to the Ace. Both were developed by The Sydell Group in partnership with GFI Development, who hired Parisian designer Jacques Garcia to give the NoMad interiors a whiff of the grand dame. During its soft opening this spring, we took a whirl around the hotel, which pairs traditional, swank, and very French interior design moves with a decidedly modern, zeitgeist-y, and still very New York feel.

Encuentro Guadalupe , Mexico
In recent years, Baja's Valle de Guadalupe, only an hour and a half from the San Diego airport and 40 minutes from Ensenada, has emerged as Mexico's wine country. In order to showcase the best that this region has to offer, The founders of Antiresorts™ decided to develop a property in the area that "combines amazing dry weather, rich new wines, incredible seafood and produce, impressive light, and human talent." And so, Encuentro Guadalupe came to be. The project, whose moniker suggests that it is a "wild reserve" and "native to its environment," is slated to open this July. It features two main components: Vinícola Encuentro, the winery and restaurant, and Encuentro Resguardo Silvestre, twenty high-end bungalows, which offer guests the chance to immerse themselves in the outdoors while still enjoying modern comforts.

By their nature, Groove workspaces can involve input from many different people in many different organizations, often making many different contributions. Not everyone will have a clear vision of what the workspace is really about, so it has become something of a standard practice here within the Groove organization to use the notepad tool to create a Welcome page for each workspace.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy: typically it's just a quick overview of the purpose of the workspace, and might include links to the various tools along with brief descriptions of how each tool is used. Sounds simple, but a little bit of clarity can go a long way.

The scent of blooming hydrangeas welcomes you in Chilmark, a small community that includes both Chilmark proper and the working fishing village of Menemsha. Staying here gives you access to Chilmark's private beaches, which are tucked in coves and naturally pristine: Squibnocket offers great fishing and surfing, and Lucy Vincent (known as a bathing suit-optional beach) has clear views of the island's famous red clay cliffs.
If you're up for a walk or a bike ride, try the trail that climbs to the Quitsa Pond Lookout, where on a clear day you'll see not only Nashaquitsa and Menemsha pondsâdotted with shore-birds and sailboatsâbut also Vineyard Sound and the Elizabeth Islands two miles to the northeast.
Visit June through September to enjoy a little fresh-air retail therapy at the Chilmark Flea Market every Wednesday and Saturday in a grassy field on North Road. You're sure to see ceramics, artwork, jewelry, soaps, and antiques.
At the end of the day, the best spot on the island to watch the sun set over the water is the public beach at Menemsha Harbor. To complete the experience, pick up fried clams (to go) from The Back Door at the Home Port Restaurant. Or, for an iconic East Coast delicacy, head to Home Port or Larsen's Fish Market, which both sell lobster so fresh it might have been swimming earlier that morning.
Where to stay: The Menemsha Inn rates start at $195;

Thanks in advance,
$5,000 is a good credit limit to aim for. That is usually the requirement for a signature card, so make that your goal.
Also, you are not just helping your credit. You are creating a good savings plan.

My installation of WordPress doesn't remember or display that I'm logged in. If I click the "Login" link when I first open my browser, it will show the login page and then take me to the Dashboard.
But if I go back to my site, it still says "login." If I click the "login" link, it takes me right back to the Dashboard, so obviously it knows I'm logged in, but just doesn't display properly.
Something's broken in my installation, but I don't know what. I've created a clean, separate testing install of WordPress, on the same server, including all the same plugins and posts, and the login behavior works perfectly well there.

How do I find out which page has been set to blog, when wordpress is in CMS mode?
The background: I am building a theme for someone that wants to use wordpress as a cms. Currently home is set to 'Home', and the blog to 'News & Events'.
As far as I know, wp_list_pages() only lists pages, which is a problem when the site is configured as it is above if you want to create drop-down menus for the blog categories as well as the pages on the site.
The solution I came up with was to set echo on wp_list_pages() so that I can dump the output into a variable and then search for the 'Events
</a>' and explode the variable there and place in the outputted string for the blog. (wp_list_menu() with echo)
The only problem with this solution is that now the query to find the page name for the blog is hard coded, if my friend changes the page name (to just "News" for instance), the dropdown menu won't work anymore.
So here is my question: How do I find out which page has been set to blog, when wordpress is in CMS mode?
