The true cost of Cotton
The True Cost of Cotton.
Do you ever put your shirt over your head and wonder where is REALLY came from?
Well you should!!
The noise was deafening and air in the factory in northern Gujarat was so thick with cotton dust it was like a snowstorm at night.
Women and girls, some no more than 10 or 11, fed machines with raw cotton picked from the nearby fields.
It is a process known as ginning - one end of a commercial supply chain that ends up as clothes and textiles in high street shops around the world. Globally, annual revenues from the industry are measured in the trillions of dollars.
Many household-name retailers concede they do not know exactly how the cotton they use is farmed and processed. Yet, for years, labour activists here have campaigned for their help.
Missing parents
"The workers' lives are terrible," said Jignesh Mevani, an activist who was our guide. "They are not paid the minimum wage. There are no safety precautions. There are many children."
Filming openly, children were easy to find in both the ginning factories and the cotton fields.
One was Kali Gamar, wearing a worn yellow dress, her arms covered in scratches from the cotton bushes. She thought she was 10, but wasn't sure.
Her expression was flat, her eyes dull as, almost robotically, she prised open cotton buds, one after the other. She was with her older sister, Ashi, who said she was 20.
"We came here four or five months ago from Rajastan," said Ashi. "Now we live here. The work is hard. We don't know where our parents are. They are working somewhere."
In one of the ginning factories, we found Versha and Pryanka. They were both 11 years old, far away from home and too shy or frightened to speak.
An adult worker, Gauri, explained they had been sent there through a labour agent by their parents.
"They came some months back," she said. "They don't get paid. The money must go straight to their parents."
Some estimates put the number of cotton child workers in India as high as half a million.
"A third of the workers may be children," says Sudhir Katiyar, who runs the campaigning organisation Prayas Centre for Labor Research and Action.
"Children are at every stage of the process, seeding cotton, picking it and ginning and beyond, too," he says.
Mr Katiyar refers to the cotton dust in the ginning factories as "the horror of the white cloud", as it can cause lung disease at an early age.
By law, he says, masks and safety equipment should be provided to all workers. Children should not work until they are 16.
There have been cases of them falling asleep through exhaustion and suffocating in the piles of raw cotton.
Workers are paid just over $2 (£1.30) a day, when they should be paid $7 for a 12-hour shift, Mr Katiyar insists.
From the ginning factories, the cotton is spun into thread from which textiles are made.
It is at this stage that the supply chain becomes a completely different world.
Mandhana Industries in Tarapur, two hours from Mumbai, is a supplier to many European brands.
Its plant is clean and modern, with an abundance of posters promoting good working practices. Staff wear protective masks and clothing.
"We have a social programme," says Mandhana president Ajay Prakash Bhatnagar. "We have doctors and health care. We take care of everything.
"I think this is why we get so many repeat orders again and again. Our customers are happy with the way we operate."
Usually companies like Mandhana track their supply chain to the spinning mills, while high street retailers track back to their immediate suppliers. Little or no scrutiny is made of the ginning factories and cotton fields.
'Ethical standards'
None of the retailers we contacted agreed to be interviewed on this issue.
But Arcadia, owner of outlets such as Top Shop, BhS and Miss Selfridge, issued a statement saying: "We are committed to ensuring that the workers in our suppliers' supply chains are treated fairly.
"When customers buy our goods they must be sure that they have been produced under acceptable conditions."
Marks and Spencer said it did not break down what percentage of its raw cotton was traceable and guaranteed to be free of unacceptable labour practices.
"All our suppliers must adhere to our ethical standards as a condition of working with us," it said in a statement. "We do not tolerate abuse of these standards."
The company says, however, that it intends to be able to trace the source of its cotton by 2015.
Child labour has been reported in all the major cotton growing countries - China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan and Turkey.
(The above post was taken from The BBC website UK)
The only way you can fully know the supply chain for your goods it to look for the fairtrade Logo, here in Australia there are only 7 Fairtrade CERTIFIED cotton brands.
www.thelittlewhitet.com being my own label and one of those such brands. Ok the clothes cost more, but it really is a small price to pay having piece of mind.
We all need to become more aware of our whole supply chain and reducing exploitation and poverty in the 3rd world.
I'm more than happy for you to follow my supply chain all the way back!!
So before you run off to Kmart and buy your $3.00 T's just think....who picked my cotton!!!

Covering the news of it is a little more interesting, but you can't get by a certain sub-story. This picture is worth more words than diving in on it, though:

Oh, Reuters Hulk, that didn't take long.
Context: this slightly over the top, and all caps, reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on Arizona's controversial immigration law. The reaction got panned a little since the other wire service counted it as a win in the other direction.

Impeccable timing. sharp as a razor guys are awesome

Army: your response is invalid.
Gayer then cum on a mustache.
God help the enemy that attacks us with twirling rifles. They won't know what hit them. Literally. Don't get me wrong, I love and support every single man or woman who serves. But what's the point! HOOAH! GO ARMY!
The point is that it takes training and discipline to do what they're doing. These men are ALSO being deployed overseas. This particular MOS is not a primary MOS. This means they do this on TOP of being your fighting US Marine.
Semper Fi, Marines.
OoooFUckingRaaahh!!! Semper Fi Devils!!!
It's about discipline. Something Army folk don't know about.
For everybody wonder about the reason–Uhh… because it looks cool!
Reason enough for me. Go 'Merica!
Its about discipline you disgusting army f*ck. The army has absolutely none of it and that is why time and time again throughout every major conflict in US history the army has failed to live up to the reputation marines have.
I will say OoRahh to that!!
Motivating the sh*t out of me all the way down here at flight school in pensacola. oorah gents.
In case there's any confusion, the fellow in Red in #35 is not in the Silent Drill Platoon. He's a member of "The President's Own." Still talented, but not the Silent Drill Platoon.
Son of a bitch these guys really make me proud. I can't do a fraction of what these fellows can do…
It just doesn't translate to photos, you really have to see them and hear the band live to get it. I was stationed at MCAS Yuma where they train and they are incredible
Every time I watch a video i am amazed at how amazing they are!

Unfortunately after running San Diego in June My fiance and my training completely fell apart. Needless to say we are not in the condition we need to be to complete at the Marine Corps Marathon in 3 weeks. We are disappointed and hoping that someone else is able to take our spots and run a great race. We missed the transfer deadlines, but since we will be in D.C. we are willing to pick up the packets and transfer them to you, you'll just have to run under our names. We are selling for the same registration price we paid $70 a piece. Please let me know ifyou are interested in one or both. Please see my email address below.
Thanks & Happy Running

The Wisconsin home where a man killed his three daughters last year will be going up for auction next month.
A St. Paul Pioneer Press report says Aaron Schaffhausen's home in River Falls went into foreclosure after he stopped making payments following his arrest. He owed $181,000 through January.
The St. Croix County sheriff's office says the home will be auctioned Aug. 13.
Schaffhausen, of Minot, N.D., admitted killing the three girls last year. They were 11, 8 and 5 years old. Jurors who convicted him agreed he suffered from a mental defect at the time, but they concluded it didn't prevent him from knowing what he did was wrong.
He's scheduled to be sentenced July 15.

Winter Haven Dealership 1 of 9 In State to Offer Italian Sports Car
Published: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 11:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 11:45 p.m.
WINTER HAVEN | What the Alfa Romeo 4C lacks in weight, it makes up for with a driving horsepower that has car collectors drooling.
The lightweight Italian sports car is coming to Winter Haven this summer, with Fiat of Winter Haven being chosen as one of just nine dealers in Florida to offer the car.
"They are fabulous new cars," said John Mospaw, a salesman at Fiat of Winter Haven.
Excitement for the 2400-pound car has been building since its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show in April.
The two-seater features a 1750 turbocharged four-cylinder engine that provides 237 horsepower at the driver's disposal. Mospaw said he can gauge excitement about the car when it comes to getting on the waiting list.
"We had a guy call in and say, 'I don't care what color it is, I just want the first one,' " Mospaw said. "They don't care what the equipment is."
Fiat of Winter Haven signed a letter of intent to sell the car earlier this month, and was chosen by Alfa Romeo based on its sales numbers as well as its customer service performance, said Alex Mahalak, a manager at the dealership. The cars will be available at just 86 dealerships across the country, he said.
"It certainly is a big deal," Mahalak said. "It's a good reflection on the entire dealership."
The 4C is the only Alfa Romeo model available in the United States right now, but Mahalak said the company is expected to have a few more models coming soon. He expects a four-door sedan available at his dealership in 2016.
The 4C is about 4 meters, or 13.1 feet, long and it goes from 0 mph to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, but it's not cheap. The starting price for the car is $55,000. The top speed, according to the Alfa Romeo website, is 160.3 mph.
"It's the looks, that's the biggest thing that catches the eye at first," Mahalak said. "Then there's a lot of carbon fiber, which makes it really light."
People interested in getting on the waiting list for the car can call Fiat of Winter Haven, and place a $10,000 deposit. Mahalak said he expects to have the first of the 4Cs on the lot by July.

Discover the antidote to dating a narcissist: empathy toward yourself! Embrace your inner strength
Have you ever felt distraught or found it hard to move on after dating someone who was self-centered? If so, your partner might have been a narcissist, or a person with narcissistic tendencies. Did your partner:
- isolate you from your friends to maintain control over you?
- make him or herself feel good by putting you down?
- chip away at your self-esteem?
- only give you a compliment when you were about to leave?
These are some of the traits of a narcissist or someone with narcissistic tendencies. Only a psychiatrist can diagnose a narcissistic personality disorder, though the broad definition of a narcissist is someone who:
- expects to be recognized as superior or special, without superior accomplishments.
- expects constant attention and admiration from others.
- is preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of success.
- lacks the ability to empathize with the feelings of others.
In short, a narcissist is arrogant and expects special treatment — whether or not he or she does things to warrant it. If you're wondering whether your partner could have been a narcissist, it helps to know these basic traits. In this article, you will learn how to regain your confidence and put your life back on track after dating a narcissist or someone with these tendencies.
How Did You Feel in the Relationship?
The only way narcissists can satisfy their grandiose ego and create the illusion of superiority is by putting others down. They love to play cat and mouse, establishing a pattern of putting you down so routinely that you begin to believe that they are better and more accomplished than you — and you accept being the mouse.
Says Rachel, "My ex-boyfriend was a narcissist, and I stayed with him much longer than I should have. The reason was that he gave me intermittent reinforcement. Most of the time, he was self-absorbed and obsessed with himself, alternating between feeling he was the best ever and the worst ever. Then, every so often, he would shower me with love and affection, and I would think, Oh, right, this is why I love him. But when he took the love and affection away, he was so distant, so self-involved, and I felt like the problem was me, that it was my fault."
We understand narcissism well enough to know that if you are dating a narcissist, or someone with narcissistic tendencies, you will very likely feel unsupported and put down. Your partner will not empathize with you and will not be there for you. Narcissists expect all the attention and will steal your good ideas, making them theirs. They will almost certainly get angry when you disagree with them.
If you experience any of these feelings, you should get out of the relationship. Moving on quickly is your best bet — no question. There is lots of information available to help you figure out if you are dating a narcissist. I strongly suggest you learn what you need to know and move on. There is nothing to be gained by spending a lot of time on a person who is causing you so much grief.
Focus on You
While many experts focus on the narcissist, I prefer to focus on you and the lessons you need to learn so that you can let go, move on, and hopefully never repeat the experience. Before you can move on, the most important thing to understand about narcissists is that underneath their apparent self-confidence is a profound lack of self-esteem.
Narcissists do not think well of themselves, and to make themselves feel better, they choose partners who doubt themselves and their capabilities.
Let me put it this way: If you had strong self-esteem and confidence in yourself, you would not be chosen by a narcissist as a possible partner. This is because narcissists like to control and feel superior. People with healthy self-confidence who make the mistake of entering a relationship with a narcissist quickly become aware of the emotional abuse and cut the relationship short. They recognize that there is something out of balance and that it's easier to move on. Most importantly, they refuse to take the blame. Instead, knowing they are unhappy, they focus on themselves and deal confidently and quickly with a relationship that has no value.
Stop Judging Yourself
When you doubt yourself and lack confidence, you become the perfect target for a narcissist. Narcissists are appealing at first. They give the impression of strength and confidence. Their goal is to charm you and make you think it is all about you. If you weren't blinded by the attention and weren't questioning your own self-worth, you would realize a lot sooner that your date is interested in you only because you appear weak and less worthy. Of course, if you had known this in advance, you would not have entered the relationship.
To avoid entering another relationship based on your self-doubt, ask yourself: How can I take care of myself better? How can I avoid sending out signals that I need help or a savior, or lots of attention? Nip it in the bud by believing in yourself. Then you will not attract someone who spots a good potential partner because of your low self-esteem.
Some narcissistic traits, when used appropriately with personal boundaries, make for exceptional people. Ambition, motivation, even arrogance and desire for power, are good attributes when balanced with humility and not used at the expense of others. Wanting to feel powerful is a positive desire. Needing to feel powerful by putting others down is unhealthy.
The First Clue
Was there a time at the beginning of the relationship when you asked yourself, How is it possible that such a great person is choosing me? That was a good clue. Your lack of confidence was the reason you attracted a narcissist.
A colleague of mine has noticed that there is often an imbalance between narcissists and the people they date. Superficially, narcissists are exceptional people dating partners who appear much more ordinary. Such an imbalance in personality, looks, and attributes, where one is extroverted and the other introverted, sets alarm bells ringing. At bottom, the extroverted, superficially exceptional ones are that way only in their own mind. It is their prey that are the genuine ones, and often quite successful — except that in the shadow of the pretender, they disappear. Keep reading...

AbstractClear Science Corp. proposes to develop an aerodynamic modeling tool that assimilates data from different sources and facilitates uncertainty quantification. The technical merit and feasibility of the technology will be demonstrated in Phase I through a series of verification and validation tests that utilize both computational and wind tunnel data in constructing aerodynamic models for the Orion launch abort system (LAS). Aerodynamic models provide inputs to the guidance, navigation, and control system. The proposed software will enable performance predictions over a wide range of operational conditions through the fusion of data from multiple sources including high-dimensional computational simulations, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests. The software will also facilitate uncertainty analyses to determine the propagation of variability in inputs into output variability and sensitivity analyses to identify critical design and modeling parameters and operational variables. Complex systems like the LAS are designed with a mixture of heterogeneous data, and uncertainties in the data can be a critical factor in evaluating designs. The objective is to develop assimilation methods that reduce the number of expensive wind tunnel tests and CFD simulations required during system design while maintaining and improving the quality of aerodynamic models and systematically assessing uncertainties.

No one wants one of their employees, co-workers or themselves,
for that matter, to be injured on the job. But should something
happen, it's reassuring to know that nearly every working
Californian is protected by workers' compensation thanks to a law
passed by California's state legislature in 1913.
This no-fault insurance, paid for by employers and supervised by
the state, guarantees prompt, automatic benefits to workers injured
on the job.
Please note: The workers' compensation forms provided on this website are for the use of California fairs/fairgrounds only.
Safety First
Although all of California's fairgrounds are different in size and operations, there's
a striking similarity in preventable accidents such as slips, trips
and falls, and back injuries caused by improper lifting.
As responsible managers of the fairs' Workers' Compensation pool, CFSA also provides fairs with risk control information, resources and training
they need to identify and correct potential safety hazards.
Should an accident happen despite everyone's best efforts, CFSA also helps its members by handling claims and
arranging benefits. Our in-house claims management team works diligently to ensure fair resolutions for all involved.
If you have a question about a workers' compensation claim involving your fair or just have a general question, please call our workers' compensation claims administrator Steve Kushida. You can also reach him by email, email@example.com, (916) 263-6172.

"Odd shape or not, the reservoir is very precisely mated to the pump body over the inlet to the impeller making for a very clean look. A small tube is modeled into the back of the reservoir to accommodate a LED which is accessible from the underside of the pump.

Common Core State Standard
SL.CCS.1/2/3/4 Grades 6-12: An essay of a current news event is provided for discussion to encourage participation, but also inspire the use of evidence to support logical claims using the main ideas of the article. Students must analyze background information provided about a current event within the news, draw out the main ideas and key details, and review different opinions on the issue. Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Kid Nation TV show provokes ethical and quality criticisms
Entertainment and lifestyle sections help newspaper readers pick shows, films, music, books and live events of interest. Invite students to tell how they use the paper to learn about pop culture, and to talk about a review or article they like.
Articles about "Kid Nation" are by adults. Assign students who see the Wednesday night show to write what they think about it for a class "newspaper" or bulletin board display.
Audience members don't always agree with professional critics, and some papers welcome viewer comments at the end of reviews or in website forums. Let students look for interactive exchanges about "Kid Nation" on the paper's site, where they can join the discussion with supervision or through teacher-posted comments.
A reality series about children supposedly left to fend for themselves in a made-for-TV "ghost town" called Bonanza began last week amid legal and ethical outcries. The groundbreaking CBS show -- "Kid Nation" -- focuses on 40 theoretically unsupervised children aged 8-15 who try to build a functioning society without adults on a ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Participants receive $5,000 each, with one earning a weekly gold star worth $20,000.
Interest -- or curiosity, at least -- was fueled by state efforts to look into claims that children had been required to work 14-hour days during taping. Entertainment industry unions charged during the summer that kids were exploited and that unsafe conditions endangered cast and crew. CBS rebuffed an attempt to investigate compliance with child labor laws, saying the youngsters were in "an environment similar to that of a sleep-away camp" and that a producer acted "much like a summer camp counselor."
Most reviewers disliked the first episode intensely. An entertainment industry daily newspaper, Variety, called it "a mess," "creepy" and "a crime against television." To the Washington Post, it was "an appalling monstrosity." USA Today's critic sniped: "It was like watching some other family's incredibly dull home movies -- assuming in your home movies, the kids make speeches." The show continues on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. for 12 more weeks.
Writer says: "Would the creators of 'Kid Nation' please go to their room for a time-out and come up with something more original" -- Julie Hinds, Detroit Free Press pop culture writer
Network says: "These kids were in good hands and were under good care, with procedures and safety structures that arguably rival or surpass any school or camp in the country." -- Tom Forman, executive producer
Admirer says: "Its cast of teenagers and pre-teens were sometimes mean, frustrating or annoying, but they also proved themselves to be remarkably self-sufficient, smart, articulate, and funny. In short, they were real, and rather entertaining. . . . It's heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time." -- Andy Dehnart, MSNBC commentator

The bone crushing sound of Soul Remnants hails from the outskirts of Boston Massachusetts. Formed in 2003 by Thomas Preziosi (Guitar: Armory, Forced Asphyxiation) and Mitch Fletcher (Vocals). Together they aimed to combine the raw intensity of American death metal with Scandinavian black metal.
December 11th 2009 the debut album "Plague of the Universe" was self released. Produced by, Peter Rutcho at his Damage Studios. "Note to all the veteran death metal acts struggling to find the energy of their classic releases: this is how it's done." -Metalcrypt.com
"Composing varied tracks without stepping into hectic and dead hearted fret board gymnastics. Fans of technical Death Metal as well as open minded people shouldn't hesitate to give this band a try." -brutalism.com
Following the release of the debut album, Ryan Murphy (bass: Forced Asphyxiation, Deconformity) Chad Fisher (guitar: Armory) and Colin Conway (Frozen, Cannae, All that Remains) Solidified the line up to perform live shows in support of the disc. The current lineup is by far the most intense, and proficient incarnation of the band on stage. The next album is planned for release in early 2013. Chad's insane lead work, Ryan Murphy's thick 6 string bass playing, and Colin Conway's blazing drum skills will all be welcome additions to the Soul Remnants formula. Tentatively titled "Black and Blood". The second album seeks to outdo the debut on every possible level.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
The latest monster porno from smut's seemingly "can do no wrong" kid, Manuel Ferrara, is, predictably, another gem. This follow-up to his POV series Fucked on Sight has incredibly hot chicks and some complicated gonzo set-ups.
Ferrara's POV opening with Audrey Bitoni is a stiff indication of what's to come. Not to mention, Bitoni is a total knockout.
Apparently not content with the regular format of a POV title, Ferrara has to throw a bunch of other dudes in there as well. The helmer/performer keeps things steady while guys make some noteworthy scenes with Marie Luv and Alexis Texas.
Pre-noms: Director of the Year (Manuel Ferrara), Best POV Release, Best New Starlet (Audrey Bitoni), Best New Starlet (Alexia Texas).

This response to Sober's (2008) Evidence and Evolution draws out and criticizes some consequences of his analysis because of its reliance on a likelihood framework for adjucating the dispute between (Intelligent Design) creationism and evolution. In particular, Sober's analysis does not allow it to be formally claimed that evolutionary theory better explains living phenomena than Intelligent Design and makes irrelevant the contribution of the theory of evolution by natural selection to assessments of the status of the argument from design. Finally, a rudimentary alternative framework for theory confirmation is presented here which avoids these conclusions by rejecting likelihoodism and deploying multiple criteria to the problem of scientific theory choice.

BOSTON Ś Jon Lester says there was nothing but rosin Ś which is perfectly legal Ś on his glove when he beat the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the World Series.
A Cardinals minor leaguer posted a screen shot on Twitter showing a green substance on Lesterĺs glove. Tyler Melling, a 25-year-old pitcher in the Florida State League, wrote: ôJon Lester using a little Vaseline inside the glove tonight?ö
The Boston Red Sox left-hander said before Game 2 on Thursday night that ôI can honestly tell you that all I use is rosin. So, itĺs obviously frustrating that after a night like last night, we should be having fun and running around with some energy today and Iĺve got to stand here and answer questions about it.ö
Lester allowed five hits in 7 2-3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and a walk in the Red Soxĺs 8-1 victory.
Boston manager John Farrell also said Lester uses only rosin, which is provided on the pitcherĺs mound, to get a better grip.
ôIf you know Jon Lester, he sweats like a pig and he needs rosin,ö Farrell said before Game 2. ôI donĺt see this as anything at all.ö
Major League Baseball said in a statement Thursday that ôwe cannot draw any conclusions from this video. There were no complaints from the Cardinals and the umpires never detected anything indicating a foreign substance throughout the game.ö
Section 8.02 of the Official Baseball Rules says a pitcher ôshall not apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ballö and says the penalty for a violation is ejection and an automatic suspension.
ôMLB has obviously evaluated it and issued a statement,ö Farrell said. ôWe consider it closed.ö
Mellingĺs tweet was later deleted.
ôObviously, when I get a text at 2 oĺclock in the morning, itĺs not fun,ö a composed Lester said. ôI understand. I saw the picture. It looks bad.ö
He also said he sweats a lot and rosin helps control that.
ôI throw rosin in my glove. Thatĺs it,ö Lester said. ôI warm up with one hat in the bullpen and then have to change hats when I come in (to the dugout). Iĺve had plenty of games where Iĺve got sweat dripping off my brim. Iĺve put rosin on my hat before to try to stop it. You do a lot of different things to just try to try to contain it.
ôEven on a cold night like last night, Iĺm still sweating, so youĺve got to do certain things to try to keep a grip on the ball and not let it slip, and rosin is one of those things that seems to help me.ö
Asked if heĺs sure that rosin was the only substance in Lesterĺs glove, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said, ôthis was not instigated by us. And the way that we approach this is we just play the game. We donĺt deny that some things have been acknowledged. And if thatĺs what he claims, then thatĺs what it is. Thatĺs all there is to it. And right now itĺs pretty much a dead issue.ö
Lester said the issue wouldnĺt affect him in the future.
ôI played with Jon basically my whole professional career,ö Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ôHe kind of sweats a lot, man. I know he loads up with rosin all over the place. I donĺt even like going out there and telling him Ĺgood job,ĺ and patting him on the back because you get all wet and stuff.ö

I'm had no idea that getting a customised, invidiual category would be a costly as almost 30 template files. I've had to multiply the existing template file by 4 or 5 in order to carry out the individual style for each category.
Surely there's an easier way to do this - WP has given me the freedom, but not the management (as far as I know, please tell me otherwise) of having so many template files.
Is there a way I can get all these files down to a handful?
Right now I have multiples of:
index.php > category-x.php
sidebar.php > sidebarx.php
header.php > headerx.php
styles.css>categoryx.css (I know not a t emplate file, but still!)
And soon I will be adding single.php, and I hope to God I don't have to do the same to get the archives looking individual by creating multiple php files. Perhaps I've made this a lot of work for myself, and gone the hard way about it it, but I don't know an easier way and one hasn't been highlighted.
Hope someone can help.

SAMSUNG 7 SERIES WITH INTEL IVY BRIDGE IN ADVANCE? - Samsung Series 7 Gamer (Samsung model NP700G7C-S01US) is the first notebook with Intel Ivy Bridge, Core i7-3610QM and is already in advance at $ 1900.
Should miss more than two months the official announcement of the platform Intel Ivy Bridge , which promises to revolutionize the field of portable computers.

The first notebook with an Intel Ivy Bridge is the model Samsung 7 Series (codename Samsung NP700G7C-S01US), 17.3-inch, appeared in the official online shop and available in preorder.
In mid-January, Samsung 7 Series with Intel Ivy Bridge appeared to surprise (or rather by accident) in the Best Buy online store with delivery expected in "one or two weeks" before being removed. This time, the same Korean company to publish the official product page(now offline) with the full specifications of Samsung NP700G7C Gaming PC with a processor Intel Core i7-3610QM quad-core 2.3GHz. The notebook costs $ 1900 as is seen in some online shops, but at the moment there are no precise information on availability.
Ivy Brudge addition to the Intel platform, the Samsung notebook incorporates a 17.3-inch Full HD display, 16GB of RAM and 2TB storage (on two hard drives of 1TB each), Blu-Ray andIntel Wireless Display. The graphics card is reported uan Nvidia GeForce GTX 675m with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. What do you think?

Dear all,
I have just installed the latest version of wordpress and I have one strange think when I want to add a new post. There is always a blank space on the right side. Please, check this image to understand better.
I have no plug-in nor external themes.
Does anyone know how to solve this? It is really annoying...
Thank you.

Hello ladies! I am new to crocheting, but loving it so far! I found a pattern for a baby boy cap that I would like to use, but it calls for a "Bone Crochet Hook No. 2". I have absolutely no clue what that means.
I googled it to see if I can find the equivalent size in an aluminum hook and have had no luck so far. I even found a website where I can buy different sizes of bone crochet hooks, but they are sized A-P, not numerically - so I still have no clue what size I'm looking for.
If no one has any ideas on what size of a hook that could mean, how risky would it be to just use the hook that is called for by the yarn? The yarn listed is "bear brand 1 or 2 ounce balls". The other problem is that I can't find that anywhere, so I'm not sure what yarn to buy.
Can anyone help me????

The development and performance of network-aware applications depends on the availability of accurate predictions of network resource properties. Obtaining this information directly from the network is a scalable solution that provides the accurate performance predictions and topology information needed for planning and adapting application behavior across a variety of networks. The performance predictions obtained directly from the network are as accurate as application-level benchmarks, but the network-based technique provides the added advantages of scalability and topology discovery. We describe how to determine network properties directly from the network using SNMP. We provide an overview of SNMP and describe the features it provides that make it possible to extract both available bandwidth and network topology information from network devices. The available bandwidth predictions based on network queries using SNMP are compared with traditional predictions based on application history to demonstrate that they are equally useful. To demonstrate the feasibility of topology discovery, we present results for a large Ethernet at CMU

Okay, I've gotten a little more used to writing and since I love it so much, I just keep doing it. I haven't updated anything in a ridiculously long time after my computer crashed and I had to go through everything and figure out what I lost. But right now, I'm going through and finishing everything I have posted that still says 'in-progress'. So here you go...
I write a lot of stories with OC's too. If you haven't noticed. I like doing that more than trying to make the characters do something I don't feel like they would do. OC's are just so much easier to make crazy or something, they're more fun. lol.

AbstractAirborne-based high-energy-laser (HEL) applications are currently receiving serious consideration for both theater defense and tactical systems operations. One of the most critical shortcomings in these undertakings is the ability to sense and correct foraero-optic distrotions to the exiting beam. While these shortcomings in adaptive-optic correction for aero-optical flow transmission are apparent, there is an even more fundamental issue that needs to be addressed; there currently do not exist laboratoryinstruments that can acquire wavefornts at sufficient bandwidth to quantify and characterize the spatial and temporal frquencies of optical wavefront distrotion for transmission through aero-optical flow fields. Such an insturment may be used inwind-tunnel experiments and in aircraft-to-aircraft flight tests to quantify the magnitude of the aero-optic problem and/or to assess the merit of flow-tailoring mearures such as passive and active flow control. Phase I results have established thefeasibility of a 2-D, 20-kHz real-time/50-kHz post-processed optical wavefront sensor which can satisfy fundamental testing requirements for high-speed aero-optic corrections. Such a ground-based diagnostic insturment will be of considerable value to theaero-optic/adaptive-optic communtity, and is an important enbling technology for a real-time, high-speed, flight-based, oprational wavefornt sensor.

In a statement, Lampre said it had "full confidence in the team members involved in the case" and that the trial would prove the doping charges to be baseless.
A spokesman confirmed that 2004 Giro winner Cunego, who is leading the team in the Tour de France, as well as former world road race champion Alessandro Ballan and others had been indicted on charges of buying or receiving banned substances.
The trial centres around a pharmacy in the northern Italian city of Mantova frequented by riders of the Lampre team.

©2011-2016 sirtristan209
In trying to create an Andromeda Galaxy wallpaper that I can use on my 27" imac, I was able to combine two other hi-quality wallpapers, and retouched them a bit as well. They are "Andromeda Wallpaper HD" by felixufpe (in spacescapes) and "Andromeda Galaxy" by JackCSmith. Please download for full-sized image (16x9) which will look good on any resolution display. Let me know what you think!
