Uncontacted Tribes in Peru at Risk
December 11, 2012 06:51 AM - David Hill, The Ecologist
Peru is set to embark on a major expansion of gas operations in the Camisea region in the Amazon - a move which could decimate Indigenous peoples, both those in 'voluntary isolation' and others in the early stages of contact. Operations in Camisea - in a concession known as Lot 88 in the Cusco region in south-east Peru - are run by a consortium headed by Pluspetrol and including Repsol-YPF and Hunt Oil. The bulk of this Lot (74% ) overlaps the Kugapakori-Nahua-Nanti Reserve, which was created in 1990 for "˜isolated' peoples and in a bid supposedly intended to prohibit companies from operating there.
Global Decline of Big, Old Trees Impacts Forest Ecosystems
December 10, 2012 01:48 PM - Allison Winter, ENN
Trees can live hundreds, even thousands of years. But the problem is that these trees aren't making it to old age and according to a new study, big, old trees are in decline throughout the world which can have detrimental impacts to forest ecosystems. Old trees are crucial organisms for many ecosystems: they provide homes for animals, provide space for other plants to grow, and they produce seeds, leaves, and nuts that serve as food. They also store large amounts of carbon and continue to sequester it as they grow, said study co-author David Lindenmayer, a researcher at Australian National University.
Improvements in Air Quality add Years to Life Expectancy in US
December 8, 2012 09:05 AM - Roger Greenway, ENN
Are all the environmental laws and regulations accomplishing anything? Sometimes progress is not apparent, so it is good news that a new study led by researchers at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) has found an association between reductions in fine particulate matter and improved life expectancy in 545 counties in the U.S. from 2000 to 2007. It is the largest study to date to find beneficial effects to public health of continuing to reduce air pollution levels in the U.S. The study appears in the December 3, 2012 online edition of the journal Epidemiology. "Despite the fact that the U.S. population as a whole is exposed to much lower levels of air pollution than 30 years ago—because of great strides made to reduce people's exposure—it appears that further reductions in air pollution levels would continue to benefit public health," said lead author Andrew Correia, a PhD candidate in the Department of Biostatistics at HSPH".
100 Million Electric Miles: Chevy Volts Reach Milestone
December 7, 2012 09:00 AM - Editor, Justmeans
Chevrolet Volt owners collectively have driven more than 100 million all-electric miles since the vehicle went on sale two years ago this month. The average Volt owner travels more than 65 percent of the time in pure electric mode as the car was designed — only using the gasoline-powered generator for longer trips. By charging regularly, Volt owners drive approximately 900 miles, or a month and a half, between fill-ups. However, many Volt owners quickly exceed that average, based on an EPA-estimated 98 MPGe that puts electric-only range at 35 mpg city and 40 mpg on the highway.
Climate Change Update: Reports Show Growing Risks
December 7, 2012 06:34 AM - Daniela Hirschfeld, SciDevNet
As the UN climate change talks continue in Doha, Qatar, several reports over the past month have highlighted a sombre picture of the Earth's changing climate, raising alarm bells in particular for the world's poorest regions. A report from the World Bank launched last month (18 November) warns that the planet "is on track for a four degrees Celsius warmer world" by 2100, marked by extreme heat waves, declining food stocks, loss of biodiversity and life-threatening sea level rise. This is double the generally accepted two degrees Celsius threshold beyond which catastrophic climate change impacts are expected.
The Race for Developing Plant-based Renewable Plastics
December 6, 2012 10:00 AM - Allison Winter, ENN
The 20th century marked the great space race between Russia and the United States for domination in space exploration. Now the 21st century marks a new race: Coca-Cola and PepsiCo competing for leadership on plant-based renewable plastics. In March of 2010, PepsiCo announced the world's first PET plastic bottle made entirely from renewable plant-based resources ensuring production of a new 100% recyclable bottle in 2012. PET plastics are typically labeled with the #1 code near the bottom of the containers and are commonly used for soft drinks, salad dressings, water, etc.
Apple Brings Some Manufacturing Jobs Back to US
December 6, 2012 06:23 AM - Raz Godelnik, Triple Pundit
When President Obama sat down for dinner with Silicon Valley's top executives in February 2011, he asked Steve Jobs what would it take to make iPhones in the U.S. According to reports, Jobs replied, "Those jobs aren't coming back." So, while it looks like Jobs was right, at least for now, about the iPhones, it might be that some jobs do come back to the U.S. as Apple is shifting its assembly of some of the new, ultra-thin iMacs to the U.S. The news came up after a new 21.5-inch iMac owner reported to Fortune that instead of the usual marking "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China,"the iMac was marked "Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in the USA." It's not clear yet why the company decided to take this step and what it means for Apple. The only thing we know for sure right now, is that some jobs did come back to the U.S.
Doha Climate talks: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
December 5, 2012 06:31 AM - Tiffany Stecker, E&E reporter, via WWF
Developing and developed countries reached a stalemate over how to verify carbon emissions from forests in Saturday's talks on reducing carbon emissions from deforestation at the annual U.N. climate conference in Doha, Qatar. Represented by Brazil and Norway, respectively, poor and wealthy nations were unable to agree on how high to set the standard to verify emissions reductions at the 37th meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), the group that dispenses scientific advice to the delegates to the conference.
Savannah Ecosystems in Danger
December 4, 2012 04:45 PM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Few of the world's ecosystems are more iconic than Africa's sprawling savannahs home to elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and the undisputed king of the animal kingdom: lions. This wild realm, where megafauna still roam in abundance, has inspired everyone from Ernest Hemingway to Karen Blixen, and David Livingstone to Theodore Roosevelt. Today it is the heart of Africa's wildlife tourism and includes staunch defenders such as Richard Leakey, Michael Fay, and the Jouberts. Despite this, the ecosystem has received less media attention than imperiled ecosystems like rainforests. But a ground-breaking study in Biodiversity Conservation finds that 75 percent of these large-scale intact grasslands have been lost, at least from the lion's point of view.
Date Palm Leaves Could Improve Water Treatment Across the Middle East
December 3, 2012 11:58 AM - Rehab Abd Almohsen, SciDevNet
Date palm leaves — currently a waste product of date farming — could be used to remove pharmaceutical chemicals and dyes from hospital wastewater, say researchers from Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Oman. The first hospital wastewater treatment pilot project is due to start in Oman early next year, and scientists are working to use this technology in both drinking water filters and for industrial wastewater treatment.

(DOTHAN) - In about three weeks, Downtown Dothan will host the first ever International Foster Fest. After a winning vote at Dothan's City Commission meeting Tuesday morning, it will also bring another first: open containers. People can now legally walk around downtown events, drinking alcohol. However, that is unsettling for some.
"If they're going to have a fest downtown and then you got open containers, you take your grandchildren down there and they're confronted with all that. I don't approve of it," said Powell Brewton, a Dothan resident.
District 4 Commissioner John Ferguson said his constituents felt strongly against the ordinance and spoke on their behalf.
"Anytime you expand the opportunity for people to consume alcohol, you also give opportunities for those that can't control themselves and that's my concern," said Ferguson.
However, supporters said those opportunities are imminent.
"We've had, for Foster Fest, kind of open container that's been happening organically. Now, there's a great process that can make it a legal form so that people can feel safe and secure in the entertainment district," explained Jill Williams, Executive Director of the Downtown Group.
For downtown business owners, alcohol is a minor part. They argued this ordinance might help Dothan compete with nearby cities and continue to progress.
"Alcohol consumption is just a common part of everyday life in most cities, so, to have that traffic flow during events is good for businesses," added Jemmie Watford, owner of Killer Group Productions located on North Foster Street.
Events downtown can allow open containers as long as they have insurance, an approved police assembly permit, and hire off-duty police officers for security.
The downtown Dothan Ordinance has been passed.
The vote was four to three.
The ordinance will allow downtown Dothan to be an entertainment district.
It will also allow businesses that already have liquor licenses to sell alcohol in non-glass container.
We will have more on Live at Lunch.

I see all the reviews online for Alpha Protocol and part of it makes me sigh inwardly. Every review praises the game for its variety of choice but mock it for its bugs and pop-in issues. Not that I was entirely shocked.
See, Obsidian is an excellent developer if you want high concept, character driven, RPG games. Their pedegree is phenominal. Having hired some of the best people who worked on Fallout, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment. They made the excellent Neverwinter Nights 2 as well. I will go so far as to say that they are the only people Bioware trusts to make sequels to their games, and now Bethesda has hopped on their bandwagon as well.
So why can't they finish a damned game?
I am not saying they are a bad studio... Far from it. I am saying they never finish a game they make. The excellent games they release are unfinished. Don't believe me? let me give you an example.
In KOTOR, HK-47 was one of the best characters in the first game (I am glad we all agree on that). When we found out early in KOTOR 2 that the bad guys turned out to be HK-50's were exciting. We knew HK-47 was tough, so the HK-50's had to be tougher and smarter right?
Well, we never know, because they vanish about 30% of the way through the game, never to return. HK-47 hears about, but never meets, his successors. Do a google search for HK factory quest and you'll see what I mean. Also, check out the lame final boss with floating lightsabers.
Kotor 2 was a great game, but it was incomplete. As was Neverwinter Nights 2, as is Alpha Protocol. I see some texture pop-in, bad animations, and crappy guns. Levels that are supposed to be open world in nature (with alternate paths) are really designed just to be tackled with the assault rifles. This isn't stuff that should be in a final product, this is list of things that should have been sorted out before it went gold.
I don't know weather its Obsidian programmers, a project lead at Obsidian, Sega constantly butting in, or just lack of money, but someone over there has to do something. Allocate more money to testing and bug fixing, for example. A lot more.
Frankly, I am afraid for Fallout: New Vegas. I know its going to have a great story, great gameply, and great atmosphere (cant deny that with so many original team members on board), but its going to be buggy, glitchy, and incomplete.
Obsidian, I love your incomplete work. Imagine how much better it would be if you finished what you were working on?

Get directions
(734) 241-4777
Capacity: 65
Bio: Want to play a gig at Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room? Here are a few answers to some quick questions you may have… Who We Are: Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room is a local coffee & Tea café and approximately seats 55-60 guests. We offer the best fresh roasted coffee and high quality teas. We also carry the finest selection of café cuisine all of which are house-made foods. We host weekly weekend music nights and special events for holidays, customers, and the community. Philosophy: Here at Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room our goal is to create an atmosphere where customers are able to LISTEN TO ORIGINAL UN-PLUGGED MUSIC...without having to raise their own voices or shout at one another across the table while musicians play. We are the perfect corner place to gather local support and try out new music! Unlike most venues that host performances Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room is not a bar. We also do not have a cover charge. This also means until further notice that Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room does not pay to book artists and do not charge a fee to artists that would like to book a show. Most of our evening traffic comes to drink, enjoy a few small plates, and hear a showcased performer and/or take part in special events. Customers here turn into an artist's audience and really look forward to hearing their music. Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room hopes that an artist's fans will also become customers with them on their night out. This generates the flow between a full house and a night gone well for both the artist and Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room. Booking Contact: Entertainment Coordinator: Leandra Owners: Tony or Sheryl Trujillo Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Facebook Page (Message): Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room Here's our current Policy: We request with all bookings the artist provide a Bio and photograph of themselves or band that displays the image of their music. If you have a digital press kit, a link to your web presence and/or a track, definitely provide this information too. These tools will only be used in the marketing of your upcoming show here at Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room via our website, Facebook page, interior of café and sometimes local newspaper. Most of the artists who play here have websites or a page in Facebook, ReverbNation, Bandcamp or a similar musician's portal. If you don't have a web site (you really SHOULD have a web site...).The acts that promote themselves and their show do well here. They pack the house and everyone has a good time. They make good tip money and sell merchandise and CDs. Our suggestion is the sooner the materials are sent to us the longer we can promote your show through our promotional tools. Since Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room is a smaller venue there is no requirement for a sound system. If you would like to bring an amp or small sound system you are welcome to decide. Please be aware that Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room does not provide any sound equipment. You are also responsible for all of your equipment and Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room will not be held liable for any damages or lost equipment/materials brought in. Many artists haven chosen to play unplugged and their sound travels well around the store. We ask that you come prepared the night of a performance. If you would like to come in a few days before and get a feel for things, artists are more than welcome. If artists usually do a sound check or want to do one we suggest they arrive early on the evening of their performance. Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room will provide the point of contact with a check –in call to confirm artists schedule booking. We allow and encourage the use of a tip jar as well as a small display for your merchandise from any artist. This also encourages our customers and your fans to spend a little. If you do not have a tip jar Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room will have one for performing artists if they'd like to borrow. Many Artists have done terrifically well on nights hosting a full house. We ask that a show cover 90 minutes or more, with a short break in the middle. A typical summer show starts at 7:00pm and ends between 9:30pm and 10:00pm. In the winter we often start the shows at 6:30pm, when the sun begins to set around 6:00pm! Once an artist has been booked you will be given a definite time that you can print on any promotional material. For solo artists that are just beginning and may only have limited amount of music we usually pair you with another artist to play throughout the whole evening. Two performers can use the same tip jar and spilt the jar at the end of the night or clear the jar when their performances I over. The artists' choice must be said before the start of the night to one of the owners. When we book two performers in one evening, especially when the performers are solo singer songwriters there have been great results. These types of bookings bring two sets of listeners together. These are perfect opportunities for artists to showcase their talent and gain new listeners who might not have ever known about them. If a group is larger we most often only book one group for the evening. Agua Dulce Coffee & Tea Room does not ask artists to play 90 minutes of cocktail standards and covers. A majority of artists have played acoustic; generating genres in to folk and indie pop. Our house does not carry well for full rock sounds. Think more un-plugged. We love all kinds of music and have a soft heart for musicians who are trying to create their own style and mix original sounds. This is where artists can really showcase who they are.

What a sweet way to sweeten a cup of tea.
This "honey spoon" from Canadian firm MSC-International caught our eye for several reasons: its practicality (the indented neck rests on cup rims to let the honey drip easily into tea), its pretty ceramic handle and its great price: $5.
The spoon comes in two designs: garden (on cup) and jasmine. Matching mugs, also part of the line, cost $20 for four. Shipping is extra. To order, call (514) 485-3218 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

A Holy Order
Last year Jimmy Carter made news for having resigned from his church—after sixty years—because of its refusal to ordain women and its insistence that wives be subservient to their husbands. He had disassociated himself from the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000, but an opinion piece he wrote advocating women's rights brought his departure back to the headlines. From what I understand, Carter had long criticized these views within his church. I guess his patience finally gave out.
His decision brought to mind my many discussions over the years with certain college friends who wonder how I can possibly be part of a church that fails on so many levels to empower and include women. These friends are capable, smart women, women who have raised children and run companies. Though they are prayerful and religious, their patience with the Catholic Church ran out a long time ago, and they left it to become exemplary Congregationalists or Episcopalians. Over time we've come to a respectful détente, but Carter's grand exit opened the way for a couple of biting phone calls and e-mails from a few of them.
It's not my aim here to discuss the ordination of women, or even to evaluate the church's treatment of women in general. I'll leave that to those who are brighter and have more ink to spare. I merely want to point out something that is obvious to all Catholics at the parish level—namely, that a holy order has come to women from somewhere higher than Rome.

US Airways Group Inc. flight attendants have voted 94 percent in favor of a strike authorization, the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA said Tuesday.
The 6,700 members are working under contract terms from before the 2005 merger of US Airways and America West Airline.
Flight attendants called on management to finish the US Airways-American West merger by negotiating a single unified contract for all US Airways flight attendants. The issue is disparity in pay and seniority between flight crews that work in the "east" and "west" United States.

At the United Nations Millennium Summit in September 2000, UN member states took a dramatic step by putting people, rather than states, at the centre of the agenda. In their Millennium Declaration, the assembled world leaders agreed to a set of breathtakingly broad goals touching on peace through development, the environment, human rights, the protection of the vulnerable and the special needs of Africa.
Particularly influential was the codification of the Declaration's development related objectives, which emerged in the summer of 2001 as the now familiar eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to be realised by 2015.
As the-then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan later described them, the MDGs were a remarkable effort in international coordination. They established common ground among competitive development agencies, inspired concerted action by international organisations and national governments, and offered an opportunity for citizens to insist that governments focus on the "we the peoples" they claimed to represent. In short, they transformed the agenda of world leaders.
Fourteen years later, the MDG record has been mixed. Some goals, such as halving the proportion of people living in extreme poverty, have been met at the global level, but none have been fulfilled in all countries. Others, such as universal access to primary education, are unlikely to be achieved by 2015.
However, while the accomplishment of these goals would have been an impressive achievement, even taken together, they do not represent a complete or comprehensive vision of human development. They were constrained by what the member states could agree upon in 2000 and, in particular, they lacked a vision of equitable development.
As the international community thinks about the set of goals that will follow the MDGs, it is time to address that shortcoming by adding the goal of "eliminating extreme inequality" to the original eight.
Every country has a distinct political economy that shapes the extent and effects of inequalities; each requires separate assessment. The marked differences in the extent and nature of inequality across countries demonstrate that inequality is not just determined by economic forces; it is shaped by politics and policies.
Full equality is not the goal. Some economic inequalities may be conducive to economic growth. Other inequalities may not be worth addressing because doing so infringes on cherished liberties.
While the precise point at which inequalities turn harmful may differ from country to country, once inequality becomes extreme, harmful social, economic and political effects become evident. Extreme inequalities tend to hamper economic growth and undermine both political equality and social stability. Because inequalities have cumulative economic, social and political effects, each of these contributing factors requires separate and concerted attention.
Economists of widely differing philosophical outlooks agree that inequalities of incomes and assets have harmful economic effects. Increasing inequalities, with top-heavy income distributions, lessen aggregate demand (the rich tend to spend a smaller fraction of their income than the poor), which can slow economic growth. The attempt of monetary authorities to offset these effects can contribute to credit bubbles, and these bubbles in turn lead to economic instability.
That is why inequality is often associated with economic instability. In this perspective, it is no surprise that inequality reached high levels before the Great Recession of 2008 and before the Great Depression of the 1930s. Recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) research shows that high inequality is associated with shorter growth cycles.
Much of the inequality observed around the world is associated with rent-seeking (for example, the exercise of monopoly power), and such inequality manifestly undermines economic efficiency. But perhaps the worse dimension of inequality is inequality of opportunity, which is both the cause and consequence of inequality of outcomes, and causes economic inefficiency and reduced development, as large numbers of individuals are not able to live up to their potential. Countries with high inequality tend to invest less in public goods, such as infrastructure, technology and education, which contribute to long-term economic prosperity and growth.
Reducing inequality, on the other hand, has clear economic and social benefits. It strengthens people's sense that society is fair; improves social cohesion and mobility, making it more likely that more citizens live up to their potential and broadens support for growth initiatives. Policies that aim for growth but ignore inequality may ultimately be self-defeating, whereas policies that decrease inequality by, for example, boosting employment and education, have beneficial effects on the human capital that modern economies increasingly need.
Gaps between the rich and the poor are partly the result of economic forces, but equally, or even more, they are the result of public policy choices, such as taxation, the level of the minimum wage and the amount invested in healthcare and education. This is why countries whose economic circumstances are otherwise similar can have markedly different levels of inequality.
These inequalities, in turn, affect policymaking, because even democratically elected officials respond more attentively to the views of affluent constituents than they do to the views of poor people. The more that wealth is allowed unrestricted roles in funding elections, the more likely it is that economic inequality will get translated into political inequality.
As noted, extreme inequalities undermine not only economic stability, but also social and political stability. There is, however, no simple causal relation between economic inequality and social stability, as measured by crime or civil violence.
Neither form of violence correlates with Gini indices or Palma ratios (the top 10 percent of the population's share of Gross National Income [GNI] divided by the poorest 40 percent of the population's share of GNI). There are, however, substantial links between violence and "horizontal inequalities" that combine economic stratification with race, ethnicity, religion or region. When the poor are from one race, ethnicity, religion or region, and the rich are from another, a lethal, destabilising dynamic often emerges.
Drawing on 123 national surveys in 61 developing countries, one study carefully documents the effects of inequalities in assets among ethnicities. For a typical country with average values on all the variables accounting for violence, the probability of civil conflict in a given year is 2.3pc.
If the level of horizontal asset inequality among ethnic groups is increased to the ninety-fifth percentile (and the other variables remain at their average values), the probability of conflict increases to 6.1pc - more than a twofold increase. A similar comparison focused on differences in income among religious groups shows an increase from 2.9pc to 7.2pc - again more than twofold. Another study using similar methods finds regional disparities in wealth to be correlated with an especially high risk of conflict onset in sub-Saharan Africa.
Just as discussions of poverty and poverty reduction expanded from a single-minded focus on income to many other dimensions of deprivation - including health and the environment - so too did they evolve in the case of inequality. Indeed, in most countries it appears that inequalities in wealth exceed those in income.
Especially in countries without adequate public health systems, a Palma ratio reflecting health status would almost surely show even greater inequalities than a Palma ratio for income. A Palma ratio based on exposures to environmental hazards would likely demonstrate a similar trend.
One of the most pernicious forms of inequality relates to inequality of opportunity, reflected in a lack of socioeconomic mobility, condemning those born into the bottom of the economic pyramid to almost surely remain there. The fact that those born into the bottom of the economic pyramid are condemned to never reach their potential reinforces the correlation between inequality and slower long-term economic growth.
That these dimensions of inequality are related suggests that focusing on one dimension at a time may underestimate the true magnitude of societal inequalities and provide an inadequate basis for policy. For example, health inequality is both a cause and consequence of income inequality.
Inequalities in education are a primary determinant of inequalities in income and opportunity. In turn, when there are distinct social patterns of these multiple inequalities, the consequences for society (including social instability) are increased.
We propose "Goal Nine" - be added to revisions and updates of the original eight: Eliminate extreme inequality at the national level in every country. For this goal, we propose the target of reducing extreme income inequalities in all countries such that the post-tax income of the top 10pc is no more than the post-transfer income of the bottom 40 percent.
There is a growing consensus that the best indicator for these targets is the Palma ratio, which effectively focuses on extremes of inequality - the ratio of incomes at the very top to those at the bottom. In many countries around the world, it is changes in these extremes that are most noticeable and most invidious, while the share of income in the middle is relatively stable.
All countries should focus on their "extreme" inequalities; that is, the inequalities that do most harm to equitable and sustainable economic growth and that undermine social and political stability. A Palma ratio of one is an ideal reached in only a few countries.
For example, countries in Scandinavia, with Palma ratios at one or less, do not seem to suffer from the liabilities associated with extreme inequalities. Indeed, in some accounts they seem to benefit from a positive "equality multiplier" across the various aspects of their socioeconomic development, making them efficient and flexible, as well as equitable and stable.
But countries differ not just in how unequal they are now, but also in their culture, tolerance of inequality of various kinds and capacity for social change. Hence, the more important target is the second one: a national dialogue by 2020 on what should be done to address the inequalities of most relevance to the particular country.
Such a dialogue would draw attention to the policies in each country that exacerbate inequality (for example, deficiencies in the education system, the legal system or the tax and transfer system); those that simultaneously distort the economy and contribute to economic, political and social instability; and those that might most easily be altered.
Indeed, there are many dimensions to inequality - some with more invidious effects than others - and many ways to measure these inequalities. One thing is certain, however: sustainable development cannot be achieved while ignoring extreme disparities. It is imperative that the post-MDG agenda have as one of its central pillars a focus on inequality.

Okee, this isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to see what the deal is.
I would never have noticed this if not trying to sort out some SEO stuff.
Anyway, I've installed an SEO plugin for meta junk, and breadcrumbs. That made me notice that (you can see the issue in the breadcrumb on each page)
This page is a subpage of Home. This is good, its what I want. Each CPT page is not home.
This page comes up in the breadcrumb as home. (it is registered exactly the same as the above link, except I didn't enable categories and tags)
This page also thinks its Home. The only difference in this when registered is a custom taxonomy.
So all 3 CPTs are registered the same in code. All 3 have similar settings in my SEO plugin. Why do 2 pages think they are home, but one doesn't? I would like for them all to not think they are home, so I can get proper breadcrumbs, and meta stuff
All 3 pages are top level (no parent), all 3 use custom templates (the only difference between templates is query by CPT and layout stuff). I can't see any difference, or reason for this? It also keeps current class from being applied to the menu items for these for css purposes. I have found info about that, but the solutions offered only act as workarounds to get the class applied. They don't remedy the situation

Yes, she has a beautiful body and deserves much more attention. In less than 4 minutes he licked her puss, stuck his cock inside her then titty fucked her and blew his load on her chest...really? she was just getting warmed up and he was finished! Where was her pleasure in this? Cum on guys...
When I lick and suck, I go for it with tenderness, passion and variety of speed and area kissed. My cock is secondary to the taste, fragrance and warm juices b4 me... I have been married nearly 30 yrs and love pleasing a woman.
what a very beautiful woman. I agree she deserved more head from him. so nice to see a real couple having loving sex.
A real couple having real sex. soooooo nice.
Suzzie. It was too much too soon, I want my guys to make it last for a few hours at least
^ Nice. ;-) I love this video - there's a real beauty to it - especially the peaceful pleasure on her face at the end. I'd have liked a bit more cunt licking though. Overall, very horny and makes my clit really ache nicely.
Ok well...here's how I like to be eatn out: start off with kisses, delicate ones around the thighs, then moving to plant them on my lips gently, suck my tits, kiss me, tell me the things you want me to do after, then once i'm worked up... my pussy should be more open, miss again a few times on my lips below, lick the outside of my slit from top to bottom. Open my up and press your lips right in, kiss and lick profusely. Do this for about a minute. then it should be time to suck on my clit, it'll be pretty erect by now, so sucking is good then. finally to make me cum, use your index finger to stroke my G spot white kissing + sucking and licking entire vagina most of the time on my clit however. about a minute later ill be coming, completely from you, me help shouldn't be needed. Trick: break her off right before shes about to come, you might have to ask before hand for a little heads up. If you do, I'll be willing to do just about anything for you, anything is sexy at this point, even eating ur cum. This is hard, she'll either like the suspense or hate you so much for breaking her off just before she comes. Good trick if you never get head
Girls, ifno one comments on licking pussy, how are us guys ever going to learn???

Some things about me:
-I love football and yes I'm 100% a Bengals fan.
-On the note of football, I love fall and winter, well winter up until about January 1st!
-I really enjoy cooking and I grill year round, even when it's 10 below.
-I'm not into the club scene anymore where you have to have to scream to talk to the person next to you. On the other hand, give me a nice dive bar and I'm set.
-I have a laundry list of restaurants around Cincy that I have wanted to try. I don't want to knock those off my bucket list by myself. And I have plenty of favorites that I would like to revisit with someone special.
-I enjoy a night out, but sometimes a nice relaxing night in is perfect. That's what pizza delivery and carryout are for!
-But I do enjoy seeing a concert, going to a comedy club, seeing a sports game, or even playing a few games at the old bowling alley with a bucket of beer!
-I'm not a bad handyman around the house. I paid attention to what my old man was doing when I was a kid and I've taught myself how to do many things, but plumbing is my Achilles heel. Just a heads up.
-I do own my own place (well me and the bank) and I do have my own car.
-I have lived in the Cincinnati area my entire life and I don't have any plans of leaving. This is a great town and even at 37, I feel like there is so much of this area I've not seen.
Feel free to send me a message!

Options for Collecting Revenues on Liquidated Entries of Merchandise Evading Antidumping and Countervailing Duties
GAO-12-131R: Published: Nov 2, 2011. Publicly Released: Nov 2, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4347
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The United States imposes antidumping and countervailing (AD/CV) duties to remedy unfair foreign trade practices that cause injury to domestic industries. Evasion of AD/CV duties weakens protections for U.S. industry and reduces U.S. revenues. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sometimes detects such evasion after the merchandise has been "liquidated," i.e., the goods have entered commerce and the agency has completed processing the entry. Congress requested that we examine CBP's options for attempting to collect revenues in such cases. In this report, we examine (1) options available to CBP to assess revenues on entries of goods subject to AD/CV duties that entered the United States through evasion and have already been liquidated and (2) factors that affect the amount of revenues collected by CBP through the use of these options.
CBP has three options for assessing revenues on liquidated entries brought in through evasion of AD/CV duties: reliquidation, duty demands, and penalties. Two factors that can influence which of these options CBP will use in a given instance are (1) how much time has elapsed since the entry was liquidated and (2) whether Commerce has issued liquidation instructions conveying the applicable final duty rate. Two key factors affect the amount of revenues CBP collects on liquidated entries brought in through evasion of AD/CV duties. First, the amount of duties or penalties CBP ultimately collects may be lower than the amount initially assessed, due to successful protest or petition by the importer. Second, CBP faces difficulty in collecting revenues from importers that may be unscrupulous, difficult to locate, or outside of U.S. jurisdiction

Kerry Washington Gossip
Kerry Washington gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's pre-MET legs
Fortunata/ Splash News
Legs! If this is a sign of what we'll be seeing from Kerry Washington tonight at the MET Gala, I'm in. The mixed pattern looks amazing on her. The bag is strong stylish clash with the wine colour in her dress. And …again… legs! Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's slicked hair
Earl Gibson/ Jason Kempin/ Alberto Rodriguez/ BET
I love this hair choice against the bright blue of her dress. Seriously, why not when you have skin like this. And that lip colour! So good, so good, so good. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's leather crop
Vivien Killilea/ Getty Images
So here's a contrast to Kate Beckinsale in Park City, Utah for Sundance. It's not a parka. But leather crop over the warmth of the skirt totally works, especially with those suede boots. Full Article
Kerry Washington's Black Dress at Independent Spirit
Mike Windle/ Jeff Kravitz/ Tommaso Boddi/ Frazer Harrison/ Steve Granitz/ Getty Images
Intellectually, I get it. Kerry Washington goes unexpected and doesn't always default to 'sexy'. If Lainey were here, she'd say she loves that this dress isn't traditionally sexy/alluring. But she's rehearsing so here's my unbridled opinion - This medium-long black dress is so matte that it looks like overdone officewear, chiffon accoutrements and all - and I feel like the shoes don't do anything to change that opinion. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's blue fold
Oh I love this blue fold and how high it comes up on her neck. I love everything about this look, including the zipper at the thigh and especially her hair, tied back tied like that to show off all that beautiful skin and the nude lip. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry in pink and blue
FameFlynet, Splash
Two outfits today while doing press for Scandal. The blue... seems all over the place to me. From the halter on top to the peplum to the asymmetrical skirt, it's a lot going on and I'm not sure that puzzle is working. The pink on the other hand reminds of this Stella McCartney she wore last year -- click here... Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's BET flowers
Earl Gibson III /Kevin Winter /Getty Images
It's a great summer dress. I love the texture of the material. Makes it look like the flowers are coming right off of it. But…and you know I love a white pump…I'm not sure a white pump was the best choice with this particular look. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry's pink lips and hearts
Mission: must find and buy this Stella McCartney dress. It has to be my birthday dress. I mean, if it has to be pink, this is the pink it has to be. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry in yellow satin
FameFlynet, Andrew H. Walker/ Bryan Bedder/ Getty
Really disappointing, especially at the CFDA Awards. I mean, it's Kerry. Who we can usually count on to be interesting. And this is ...not only not interesting but also, it's pageant fabric. And there's a prom and princess party happening at the back that I can't get with. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry can't save
Kerry Washington can make a lot of mediocre sh-t work. But not even she can save this dress. The problem: it's SO cheap. It might cost a lot, but it's SO cheap. It's $49.99, tops. And if you buy it for any more than that, you're wasting your money. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Kerry in full-skirt black and white
Splash, Dimitrios Kambouris/ Leigh Vogel/ Getty
It's never, ever not interesting with Kerry Washington, even if it's not your flavour. I like the simplicity of it up top to balance out the open back. Not really into the print on the skirt – kinda low rent -- but she gives it more style than it probably deserves, which what you want in a fashion girl, always. Full Article

While trying to set up a new site to handle event registrations and payments I tested a few other potential plugins before this one. It was such a relief to find that this one worked intuitively, was easy to set up and works with minimal effort. It also looks good in my theme with zero CSS alterations. Thanks for making my life easier!
I freakin' love this plugin. I did a test drive of the lite version along with 6 other event registration plugins (some free, some premium). EE stood out as the clear winner of the freebies. So i invested in the premium version. Worth every penny! It does things I never even thought to inquire about - things that save me precious time, like talking to my membership plugin. Score!
I especially appreciated the "Known Plugin Conflicts" list. That saved me a ton of time. Why don't more plugins provide that info?
For the haters who are trashing this plugin, let me just say... free hosting? Really?? You get what you pay for. If you truly care about your business or cause, invest a few bucks in a REAL hosting plan. If you're living in "borrowed" space you have no control. The problem is your hosting, not EE.
The database installation expects mySQL, which means it won't install when the site uses PostgreSQL.
We have spent a lot of $ and a lot of time trying to do exactly what this plugin does for $90... It would have paid for itself in 2 hours of work. I wish I would have found it faster!
If you have a wordpress site and need to manage any kind of event, check it out!
Uploaded the plugin, logged onto wordpress site, activate plugin, web site hung.
Almost immediately got an email from the free host site complaining about the following slow SQL: "MySQL Query: select * from information_schema.tables where table_name = \\\'wp_events_attendee_cost\\\' limit 1"
Deleted everything from the site. Re uploaded everything from scratch (WordPress & etc.). Tried to activate the plugin again - browser hung - more irate emails from host, etc, etc, etc.
Interface is way too complicated and confusing for any normal person (i.e. a client). And there is zero support (not even basic support) without paying an annual fee.
I've been using Event Espresso for almost two years now. It is the best event management and registration tool I have found...and I've tried many that were much much more expensive.
I love the fact that users don't have to leave my website to register and everything I need is right in the WordPress CMS. I have monthly events and I have never had one complaint or question about registering.
Thanks for the great plugin. I wouldn't dream of using anything else for my events.
On the surface, event espresso looks amazing. It seems to have everything, and to be incredibly useful.
It's not.
Let's say you're selling tickets to a conference. What's the most important thing for selling tickets? Well, to ensure that only people who have bought a ticket are registered for the conference.
Event Espresso doesn't let you do that.
For some bizarre reason, Event Espresso lets people rsvp for an event without paying for it. That has absolutely no value to anyone who requires payment for attendance. In fact, it has negative value, because the black hole of time wasted on communicating with attendees that, no, they don't actually have access to the event - BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T PAID, BECAUSE YOUR TICKETING SYSTEM DIDN'T MAKE THEM PAY! - compounds the amount of time you have to waste figuring out who is going, who isn't going, and who still has to pay.
Foolishly overlooking this detail, and needing a good ticketing system for a project, I paid for Event Espresso's pro edition. Then I tried to address this - and other - problems. I went through a whole gauntlet of programmers whose job is, I guess, to customize the plugin for users. None of them, however, could fix the core problem with the plugin itself - that the plugin allows people who have NOT paid to think they have access to the event.
A giant waste of money and time.
I'm very happy with the way the Event Espresso plugin performs, I upgraded to the pro version, the online forums and support are excellent. Events are easy to setup and manage, highly recommend!
When I converted my website to WordPress, I took a long time to examine and evaluate my options for presenting events and accepting registrations. I actually tried two other solutions before finally purchasing a business license for EventEspresso specifically because it includes two specific features: people can purchase multiple events at one time instead of one at a time, and I can offer bundle discounts for a series. These were features that weren't available from any other option. There is still room for improvement (like for anything) but I have to say that it has been the right choice for me. In addition, I've had good support when I've had questions, so I've been extremely pleased with the way my site is working.

- Place sun-dried tomatoes and water in small pot, and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes, or just until the water has been absorbed and the tomatoes have plumped. Remove the pot from the heat, and set aside.
- Place the cream cheese in a small bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the tomatoes and the basil or Italian seasoning, and beat just until well mixed. Stir in the scallions. Transfer the spread to a serving dish, cover, and chill for several hours.
- Serve with sliced bagels, wedges of pita bread, whole grain crackers, or celery sticks, or use as a filling for hollowed-out cherry tomatoes or finger sandwiches.

Lady Gaga's Used Fingernail Can Be Yours … for $13,000
File this one under "disgusting ways to waste money"
Despite this kind of fanaticism, if someone told me I could buy one of Debbie Gibson's used acrylic nails -- not a whole set, mind you, just one -- I'd have told him he was insane. And I bet most fans would have felt the same way.
My, how things have changed.
The acrylic nail pictured here is currently up for auction, and the bidding has reached almost $13,000. Of course, it's worth noting that this nail belonged to a pop star whose fans are beyond obsessed. In fact, they consider themselves a different species entirely -- they're the Little Monsters.
According to the Artfact.com auction site, the nail was recovered by a stage crew member after one of Mother Monster's "Born This Way" concerts in Dublin. "I noticed an object on the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum. When I picked it up, I saw it was an acrylic nail," he says in a letter that comes with the nail. Um, gross.
While I'm repulsed by the idea of owning someone's -- anyone's -- used nail (not to mention spending an absurd amount of money on it), I applaud the stagehand for seizing the entrepreneurial opportunity.
I wonder what my Debbie Gibson swag would go for on eBay.

Small Group Training Participant Testimonials
Laura Dziuban – 5 star I love the support you get at FitWomen. It is a small, supportive, kick your butt gym with awesome classes and strength training. Love Ashley's boot camp on Monday nights, with Katie's Pilates thereafter, and Rachel's Yoga on Sunday mornings. This gym also offers you one free personal training session a month and sends you informative emails every week. No other gym gave me that type of personal attention before.
There are no guys at this gym, so there is no intimidation in the free weight area. I also love the various age and weight differences. Young, old, lean, and not so lean – there is no judgment, just support. Overall, I am happy that I found and joined this gym.
"I've reached every goal I set since joining FitWomen 6 months ago. With the encouragement of incredible trainers and caring members, I've lost 40lbs and 4 inches. I could never have done it without the group fitness classes, the small group training, and the genuine support from a fabulous community of women. I feel healthy and strong, and FitWomen is why!" – Linda R.
"I started small group training in October of 2012, and it has helped me transform myself immensely with my weight and health. With the consistent but ever changing workouts with our GURU Amy, who is tough, knowledgeable and an excellent fitness trainer, we are constantly motivated , I feel great after workouts and the results show. I have lost inches and feel much better health wise now. With these sessions in a small group, you are able to get the one on one attention from Amy who makes certain that you do the circuits properly. You can also partner up and be the motivation for your "gym buddy". – Bernadette
"Small Group Training is exactly what I need. You have the benefits of a personal trainer without the one to one cost and you're motivated by the others in the group!" – Donna
"Just a few weeks in a Small Group Training class made a large impact on my whole life. Not only did I meet great new people who support and encourage each other, I felt myself grow stronger and more confident with each workout. Amy is a great trainer and makes each class new and different so you're never bored. I look forward to going every week!" – Linda
When I first started at FitWomen, I tried to go it alone but with little success. I really needed external motivation to jumpstart my fitness efforts, so decided to sign up for a 6-week Boot Camp with Amy. I was prepared to be intimidated and thought I might not be able to do it at all, but instead it was awesome! Amy was supportive and knowledgeable, and the small group allowed for individual attention. She pushed us to challenge ourselves safely, and the other women in the group encouraged each other to keep going. What an empowering experience! I've built muscle, lost a few pounds, but most importantly, now I know what I can do—and I want to do more. – Kari B.
I did really enjoy boot camp as I needed a a challenge and also liked learning new things with the cables and TRX. It was a great boost for spring/ early summer. The small group was a great way to get some more personal attention, support and motivation!! Ashley did such a wonderful job of always providing us with a new, interesting and CHALLENGING work out. A nice plus was getting an email from Ashely with words of encouragement and a copy of the workout so that I could use it on my own if I chose to. I am looking forward to another boot camp class, hopefully this summer as I don't want to lose momentum. Becky L.
I definitely want to continue boot camp in the fall…I love bootcamp!! Working out with you ladies is really motivating and I am always in a good mood when I leave fitwomen! Ashley- you are an amazing trainer and the workouts are always new and exciting! Thank you! Merrie B

Gone (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Missing acting students Dylan and Michaela are found in the remote mountains of Malibu, battered and terrified after a harrowing ordeal at the hands of a sadistic abductor. But forensic evidence soon exposes the incident as a hoax, and the kids are charged as criminals themselves.
Kellerman shows why he is called the master of the psychological thriller. "Orlando Sentinel"
After examining Michaela, psychologist Alex Delaware is certain that there's more to this sordid psychodrama, and his instincts prove dead-on when she is savagely murdered. Casting their dragnet into the murkiest corners of L.A., Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis unearth more questions than answers and a host of eerily identical killings. What bizarre and brutal epidemic is infecting the city with terror, madness, and sudden, twisted death?
About the Author
Jonathan Kellerman received his Ph.D. in psychology at the age of twenty-four. In 1985, his first novel, When the Bough Breaks, became a New York Times bestseller, was produced as a TV movie, and won the Edgar Allan Poe and Anthony awards for best first novel. Since then, he has written twenty-eight bestselling crime novels.

I am having an issue with WordPress 2.7 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.
I'll be brief becuase I've posted the details at the link below this paragraph. Basically text in the content area in HTML view often does not wrap within the textarea, and in Visual view, text in the textarea (and text field of the title) both stop short when they change their width when you make your browser window wider. You can read the details and see what I mean here:
I belive it's an issue with Internet Explorer and not WordPress (as I've tried it with Firefox and it's OK), but I cannot seem to login and report it with Microsoft on their IE feedback site, and would appreciate it if someone could try to do it.
Basically, there is something similar already reported at the link below, but when I sign in to post feedback the page at this link says that I've accessed the page incorrectly (appears when not logged in but not when logged in).
Thank you.

I'm the first to admit, I sometime (ok, too often!) skim over the recommendations for proper sewing and embroidery. You know, like changing the stitch length when sewing specific fabrics. Or choosing the right needle for the job. And yes, I'm often (too often!), disappointed in my initial results. My personality profile is I'm a starter; I like to jump right into a project without reading directions (good thing, cause the directions don't often exist until I write them). But even when designing and creating an entirely new project, there are steps that I could take that would ensure success. And eliminate some frustration on my part. You know, it's hard to change your personality. It's just my first instinct to jump in and get going. When in reality, I should, ahem, exhale, evaluate, gather the necessary supplies and then start.
Those lessons were reinforced this summer when I was making the wedding dress. If you remember, I couldn't drive during that time, so my fabric trips were scarce and I really had to have my supply list complete. Also, satin and rayon were not fabrics that I typically worked with in my sewing room. So I did my research and made a list, and another list and another list. You know, I was laid up for six weeks, there was lots of list making!
The smartest addition I made to my sewing room during that time was Schmetz's Needle Chart. At a glance, it told me what needles I needed for the massive (I mean, memorable) project and, once secured and lightly used, the chart told me what needle I was holding in my hand. Its colorful rainbow is a welcome addition to an unused shelf in my studio.
Unused shelf? You're astonished, I'm sure! But remember, my Stitching Sister Marie Zinno purged my sewing room a couple of years ago and I'm proud to say, it still looks that way! Back to the needle chart: it also happens to be the last thing I see when I walk out of my studio – a great reminder when I'm need of a new pack of needles.
The wedding dress required three types of needles: Stretch for the satin (it had 10% Lcyra), Microtex for the Bemberg rayon lining and Embroidery for the embroidered ribbon and label.
Since I worked on the fabrics at different times, it was easy to switch them out. That's when the color coding really helped!
You can download the chart for your sewing room. Just click here and scroll down the page a bit to locate the chart. The arrow in the illustration below is pointing to the download link – you have two sizes to choose from – one for your sewing room and one for your handbag.
Here's your assignment this week:
Schmetz needles are available at retailers nationwide. Whenever I'm in my local sewing machine dealer, I make sure I pick up a new pack of needles. I'm building my stash so that I'm prepared for future projects. How about you? Do you have trouble planning properly? Do you jump right in and then regret it later? Or do you approach projects with caution and prepare accordingly?
Leave a comment and one lucky winner will win a SCHMETZ Sew Essential Combo Pack. That's three packs of SCHMETZ Embroidery needles with the ever popular Grabbit® Magnetic Pincushion and the free SCHMETZ Info card. $24.95 US Retail.
The winner of the last assignment answered the following question:
Have you ever felt a moment of relief like this? Leave us a comment telling us how you celebrated a big accomplishment and one of you will be randomly selected to win a $20 gift card to Designs in Machine Embroidery!
The winner is:
Darlene Bares: "I have a problem saying no. So when someone asks me to do something whether its sewing or an embroidery project. I'm burning daylight because most of the time it's last minute. I just enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and seeing their faces when its done. That's enough for me."

More Praise for Heads in the Sand
Blogger, economist, foodie, and author Tyler Cowen says:
Everyone who reads books on foreign policy should read this book. It is well-argued throughout and gets at fundamentals, rather than just slinging the latest epithets over our latest blunders in Iraq. I don't in every way agree with the author's recipe for liberal internationalism but overall this is a smarter book than whichever other tome you are likely to pick up on foreign policy.
I, however, am somewhat indifferent as to whether or not you read the book, the main point is that you should buy it. Reading, though nice, is strictly optional.
