ATLANTA -- With drought tightening its grip on the Southeast, the Atlanta area's reservoirs are almost down to the dregs the dirtier, more bacteria-laden water close to the bottom and it's going to require more aggressive and more expensive purification.
Some communities are buying stronger water-treatment chemicals and looking into other measures to make the water drinkable.
The problem is that the water levels on Lakes Lanier and Allatoona, the main sources of water for metropolitan Atlanta's 5 million residents, have descended almost to the "dead zone," a layer low in oxygen and high in organic material that is, dead and decaying plants and animals.
Even with standard treatment, the water at that level can have a strong odor, taste and color. State officials consider the water "suspect" at best.
"Is there water there that could be used? Yes," said Carol Couch, Georgia's top environmental official. "But it's not exactly high quality."
The dropping of the water levels into the dead zone won't have a major effect on the city of Atlanta, because it does not draw its water straight from Lake Lanier, but from the Chattahoochee River, which is fed by Lanier.
By the time Atlanta takes its water from the Chattahoochee, it has been circulating for a while and has been exposed to more oxygen, and is thus not as dirty.
But the booming suburbs to the north draw their water directly from Lanier and Allatoona.
The water utility in Cumming, a northern Atlanta suburb on the banks of Lanier, has brokered a deal to buy a new chemical potassium permanganate to treat the water pumped from the depths, and is planning to dredge silt and sediment from the bottom of the lake in search of cleaner water.
"The city will go after the water no matter how far the lake recedes," said Jonathon Heard, the city's director of utilities. "We intend to provide water for the citizens of this area, whatever it takes."
Gwinnett County, the state's second most populous county, has an intake pipe that is about 15 feet down into the dead pool. It plans to spend more money on ozonation, or the infusing of ozone gas into the water to destroy bacteria and other microorganisms. More ozonation will require more electricity.
In Forsyth County, a suburb on the lake's western shore, officials are buying more chemicals to treat the dirtier water.
The state warns that Lake Lanier could have less than 80 days of water stored in its conservation pool, the main area from which communities typically draw their water. Below that level is the dead pool.

I have setup the facebook plugin, setup the facebook app and open graph action (which was approved by facebook). I have linked my account, and have the option check to publish to the author's timeline, but it's not working. Nothing shows up. I am the only writer/editor on the site, so it's an "admin" account if that makes a difference.
After publishing an article, I go back to the facebook plugin options.. and the check mark is gone from the "publish to authors timeline".
I have tried setting it up twice, and haven't been successful either time. Everything else seems to be working fine.
Please help.. Any idea's?

"Martyrs." Appropriate, and it says a lot about him that he'd use that particular word.
DBZ deconstructed. All the implications that are airbrushed over by idealism (and the need to appease the censors) are here highlighted by cynicism.

I always wished tha tKing Cold had went out in better stle but considering his strength(second stage he was stronger than Frezia and if he had gotten up tot he transformations that Cooler had he would have been Super sayian two level easy. I always thought that was the reason why East kai(the last till the Z sword) didn't wipe out the cold line, King cold was just to strong and he didn't want to get into a war with king cold if he killed one of his sons, cause hell the Colds made sure that none got to their level, they had an empire of people and a simple alience with Dabura and they could have stormend Heaven.
plus intervening on things and all.
and its interesting what you did with the rest of the universe, I was always nder the impression that while Vegeta searched for Goku he just wiped out the Cold Empire.
| ClockworkInsomniac chapter 42 . 2/3/2013
Absolutely terrifyingly fascinating. Frigid is easily the best OC ive read yet in all my years, and yet Aiken herself was not far behind. This is writing as a painting is done, all stark lines and colours constructed into something breathtaking. Not to mention your portrayal of 17 is absolutly captivating, holding no punches for his good or bad points. Painting this entire thing as just one more happening of his bored life as he is trapped in this helpless scenario of boredom, immortality and unfulfilled goals.
My hat goes off to you, genius.

wow, this was amazing! i could not stop reading this, such a wonderfully written story!

Credible characters, a nice story, no overused clichès ecc; not bad, not bad at all...
| smashman42 chapter 42 . 9/21/2012
Wow, stumbled onto this a couple of days ago & absolutely loved it, couldn't put it down (well, the tablet iIread it on anyway). Telling the story from the three characters' points of view with their different perspectives & thought patterns was beautifully executed.
The original characters were well thought out, the canon ones were in character, the twists & turns & the way the ending was handled, just magical.
| elsupa chapter 42 . 9/19/2012
Amazing. One of the best fanfictions. I even like the ending, even if it's not as explosive as I'd like. Thanks for the read.

Thanks for the post. I'm considering one for winter carry.
I've heard of a similar slide "feature" on another gun before, but I don't remember which gun it was. Not sure if it's intentional on the M&P or not.
This is a discussion on M&P 45 Compact - Update and Range Report within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Took her to the range today. I decided I would do an even test between FMJ's and JHP's with 100 rounds each. Results? Flawless! Not ...
Took her to the range today. I decided I would do an even test between FMJ's and JHP's with 100 rounds each.
Results? Flawless! Not a single failure. Accuracy was also good as far as I could tell through those foggy glasses.
Observation: I don't think the factory trigger is bad at all. I keep hearing complaints about it, but it felt fine to me.
I do have one question, though. After a mag finished and the slide locked back, if I would somewhat "slam" the next mag in, it would pop the slide release and the slide would go forward and chamber a round. If I inserted it gently, it stayed locked back until I released it.
Is this a break-in matter or is it designed that way?

Thanks for the post. I'm considering one for winter carry.
I've heard of a similar slide "feature" on another gun before, but I don't remember which gun it was. Not sure if it's intentional on the M&P or not.
when you slam the mag home you are jarring the slide and the slide lock is letting the slide go,I use to be able to do the same thing with a G17,I haven't had it happen with my M&P 45c,but I haven't slammed any mags home either
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
It's called auto-forwarding and it happens to many pistols. When you insert the mag, be sure you go perpendicular to the magwell. If you slam the mag home with the force not at an angle other than 90* auto-forwarding is more likely. You can tell if you're doing this by seeing how your hand behaves after the mag is seated. If it just stops and you reacquire your grip, you're doing it right. If your hand slides forward off the floorplate of the mag you aren't perpendicular.
Glad you enjoy it!
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
Thanks for the info, guys! It didn't have me worried, but just curious.
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
It happened on mine. inserted mag with my right thumb on the slide release. Pushing the mag up caused my thumb to actuate the release. I noticed this and had to correct myself.
Glad you like it
There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
It's common with m&p pistols. My 9mm pro series and .45 compact size both do it. I really have to slam the mag just right to get the auto forward. And te factory trigger on the .45 is terrible compared to the pro series factory trigger job. My 9 is really smooth all the way through, where the .45 has a clear hump/hitch on the sear. I even inspected the sear to confirm this. An apex kit for the .45 is in my future for sure.
Welcome to the world of reliable handguns, it must be nice after your Taurus troubles.
I have a couple of M&Ps, and I think they are fantastic (for polymer guns anyway). On the off chance you do have a problem, S&W has fantastic customer service and they pay for shipping both ways.
Also, don't forget about the free magazine or $50 rebate S&W has going on with the M&P right now:
Born In The USA Promotion - Smith & Wesson
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
I've done it and seen it done with Berettas, Sigs, Glocks, M&Ps, XDs and just about everything else. Some do it easier than others but many, if not most will do it with a good enough rap on the mag.
"In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power." -
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
The slide slamming home is a good thing and you can incorporate it into your training. Beretta M9's and M&Ps do it regularly without fail. You have to slam it in from the 45º angle. It won't work, at least consistently, from directly below or from the other side. It takes out the step of grabbing the slide and ripping it back. I was always able to do it every time on reloads and it gave me a nice advantage in my speed.
Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~Paul Howe
Update: I went back to the range today. I intentionally DID NOT clean the M&P last night because I wanted to see how it does somewhat dirty. So I bought two 50-round boxes of Remington UMC (100 total) and a 100-round box of Winchester White Box (both FMJ roundball).
The 100 rounds of Remington were "shared" somewhat with my Colt Defender, which I hadn't shot in a while, so I probably used about 70 rounds in the M&P.
Result? Flawless.
So then I fired the entire 100 rounds of WWB across the M&P. Personally, I find WWB to be some of the "dirtier" ammo out there, next to maybe PMC. Result? Flawless!
So yeah, this thing rocks!
Sadly, my High Noon holster for it was supposed to be here July 1, but when it didn't arrive, the UPS website said, "Revised delivery date - July 6," so I have no idea what their problem is.
Once it arrives, the M&P will be my EDC.

"Local talents working hard to become local acts, and pursuing the band life is what all musicians desire. As I'm listening to Ketosis, I hear a great formation of drive and originality. You can find bands as I have discovered, all throughout Pennsylvania – they either sound good, okay or terrible but luckily the sound from this group of guys is grooving in rhythm and purpose so they top the charts at excellent. I could find myself kicking back a few cold ones and jamming out to this band. I'm happily moving up my list of bands that follow me on twitter, lots of talented musicians and down to Earth cool as hell when I have interaction with them. All start from nothing as I can relate by putting my thought out there to be seen and read, as these guys do with their music. A big HELL YEAH to Ketosis for keeping the bar scene refreshed and any other venues they play."

My certificate issuing authority has provided me with 5 PEM files. 3 of these are part of a chain. One of the files is all 3 chain files as a single file.
The fifth file appears to be the certificate itself.
The application I'm using was looking for a .key file and a .cert or .crt file. I was able to use openSSL to make .crt file version of all the pem files. Do I also need a .key version? Id so, where do I install the various certificate files? Are filenames important?

For my life I can't find the settings page of this plugin

For my life I can't find the settings page of this plugin
Would somene please tell me at least the page URL?
It's under the settings menu "Imsanity"
If you're running on a multi-site install and the plugin is configured by the network admin, you may not be able to adjust settings for your individual site.
I need to investigate this. These are new WP 3.5.1 installs, no multisite, and there's no Imsanity menu anywhere...
Ok, built a new test site, with default settings, Imsanity plugin installed the first thing and the options page DOES appear.
So there must be some kind of incompatibility with some setting in my other sites.
It's not only that the menu is invisible, is that I can't access the url ".../wp-admin/options-general.php?page=imsanity/settings.php" in those sites. It gives me the error:
OK I found it! The incompatibility is with the plugin Developer Mode. The admin user that is promoted to developer is unable to see or access the Imsanity settings.
In order to do that, I must deactivate and delete the plugin. And Imsanity settings reappear.
Could you take a look on this issue? I would love to be able to use both plugins.

We recently heard that Solvate, the company that brought a high-touch, hands-on approach to online work, has discontinued its service this week. While some might welcome this news about a competitor, the atmosphere here at oDesk is one of reflection.
Time and again throughout history, we see examples of innovation fueled by competition. Accomplishments like putting a man on the moon, a Blu-ray player in your home, and a cold Coca-Cola in your hand all have the competition to thank (along with some well-placed marketing efforts.)
It is a loss to us all in the online work space, but especially hard for Solvate clients and contractors, who have been left without a workplace to call their own. We'd like to invite those users to try oDesk, and will help them get a good start with a hands-on, high-touch welcome.
With that in mind, we are offering free courtesy one-on-one appointments to help both contractors and clients transition to oDesk. Whether bringing your existing team or taking on new projects, our experts will walk you through the necessary steps to get your business back on track.
To take advantage of this offer:
- Sign up for a free account at www.odesk.com
- Logged in to your new account, visit our one-on-one appointment schedule to select the day and time that works best for you
While we're sorry to see Solvate go, hopefully our one-on-one team can ease the transition for users and set them on the path to success on oDesk!

Barb Evans
Barb and Allan Evans built their home in Montana with a room for Randy Sparks, and a room for Becky Jo Benson, written into the floor plan. They have been our family for years. Barb is not only one of the Directors on the Board of The New Christy Minstrels Foundation, but has handled The Store and web site
with loving care and a smile.
Joe Van Hook
Joe calls himself 'Sherpa Joe' and Joe says that he is 'not talented' so he has to do the
heavy lifting. The fact is that Joe is one of the most talented and diplomatic among us.
99.9% of all The NCM photos and videos are carefully captured with Joe behind the lense.
You can meet Joe at the merchandise tables, see him setting up the autographs tables,
see him in the New Christy Minstrels Foundation Board of Directors' meeting,
watch him in command of the van and equipment trailer, but you will never realise how
very IMPORTANT Joe is to each of us, and how lucky we all are to be his friend.

Folk Music Legends, the world-famous group, The New Christy Minstrels®, is still under the direction of Randy Sparks, and the group is now BETTER than they were in their hey-day. The NCM won a Grammy for their very first album and have Gold Records galore. The group, now officially seven members strong, is a mix of old and new and it's now the best collection of performers ever to have been billed as The New Christy Minstrels®: founder Randy Sparks, Tholow Chan, Becky Jo Benson, Jennifer Lind, Greg O'Haver, Dave Rainwater, and John Denver's Uncle Dave Deutschendorf. Each performer adds a diverse and unique talent to the pool. "We're still alive, we're still creative, and still eager to please, so we make a deal with the audience: We'll do all the old songs you came to hear, if you'll allow just a couple of newer ones," says the group's leader Randy Sparks. The same songwriter who penned their hits: Today, Green,Green, Saturday Night, Denver, and Mighty Mississippi, etc. is still at it, and the Randy Sparks magic is quite happily alive and well, and bringing their NEW CD titled "Nice Time To Be Alive" released in July of 2013, as well as their Greatest Hits CD, which includes songs listed above, titled "RECYCLED". Autographs are given after the concert so that the group can thank the nice people for coming to their concert. No performing group has ever spawned so many successful musical careers as The New Christy Minstrels®. "For over fifty years we have been the best talent show ever," says Sparks. " We still are." Don't miss any opportunity to see this stellar group in concert! Buy tickets early, as their concerts usually sell out quickly.

Rick Ryan is passionate about Christian education.
As principal of Trinity Lutheran Christian School, he oversees 102 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. And Ryan wants to teach these children about God.
"Bringing the gospel to these kids has been very important," he said.
The school only serves elementary grades, but that could change over the next few years. Officials are considering expanding Trinity Lutheran to include a middle-school level.
"We know that the middle school years are very important for kids in their whole child development," Ryan said.
"We feel like the foundation can extend even further."
Members of Trinity Lutheran Church's Board of Christian Education are developing focus groups to see how interested parents and community members would be in adding six, seventh and eighth grades.
"We're in the talking stages right now," said board member Alan Kinzer.
For the past several years, the student body has hovered around 100 students, he said. Adding grade levels could break the school out of that plateau.
Also, if the school added higher grades, it would consider adding a 3-year-old pre-kindergarten program, Kinzer said. The current pre-k starts at age 4.
Once the information-gathering process is over, the church's governing body will make its decision in January, according to board chairman Henry Janhsen.
If the proposal gets approved, the school would add one grade per year.
The church just finished a building project, so space wouldn't be a problem.
Janhsen said many are already in favor of adding the higher grades.
"We're getting a lot of requests from parents," he said.

Description: When God's people pray, they want answers. Yet many Christians don't know how to pray both effectively--in a way that gets results--and humbly--in a way that aligns with God's will. Prayer is a powerful weapon against the true adversaries of God's people: principalities, powers, dark rulers and spiritual wickedness in high places. These forces are the perpetrators of all kinds of evil: Addiction, abuse, poverty and spiritual bondage run rampant through families, churches, cities and nations. What can believers do to battle these forces? They can pray.Not just any prayer: the prayer of petition, known throughout Christian history as the prayer that gets results. "Prayer of Petition" explores this powerful prayer in detail, from the many examples found in God's Word to more recent instances of incredible miracles ushered in by this prayer. Readers will learn the biblical definitions of petition and supplication, and examine the key components of preparation, thanksgiving and humility. As readers learn to petition the Ruler of All, their confidence that God will prevail--no matter what--will grow, and as they learn to rest in His promises, peace will reign over their hearts through the coming revival.

I was looking for a simple widget plugin to add videos to my sidebar. OMS Sidebar Widgets does the job and way more. It's easy to use and looks great.
Well done!
This is the perfect plugin for adding custom sidebar widgets for each page.
A very useful feature of this is multiple pins on the google map.
Simple and effective.
This is the same plugin that we use on our own websites and we absolutely love it! Now we're just waiting for @sorensenss to Bootstrap-ify it. ^_^

The California Golden Bears and the Nevada Wolf Pack have scheduled a 3-game football series, the schools announced Friday.
The series is a two-for-one, with Nevada hosting the first game at Mackay Stadium on September 18, 2010. Dates for the two games at Cal were not announced.
California leads the overall series against Nevada 22-1-1, and the Golden Bears won the last meeting 33-15 in 1996. Prior to that game, the two schools had not played each other since 1945.

Wow Nevada has to step up their game against Cal. I hope Nevada can step up and win alot more games against Cal. The next 2 games, Cal is going down no matter what Cal fans say.

Scouts may be thrifty, but some leaders are well paid
Many professional Scouters earn 6-figure salaries across the U.S.
The councils in Orem, Salt Lake City and Ogden rank No. 1, 2 and 4 respectively nationally in how many youths are enrolled in traditional Cubs, Boy Scouts, Varsity and Venturing programs. (However, other councils rank higher in total youths served because of in-school programs that have relatively little following in Utah.)
Another big difference is that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has chosen to make Scouting its activity arm for young males. So virtually every congregation sponsors Scout groups. The church also "calls" or appoints leaders, who tend to rotate every two years or so, creating more need for training here than elsewhere, officials say.Dave Ricks, volunteer president of the Trapper Trails Council, said that in other places nationally, once Scout leaders are trained they tend to stay in Scouting for life. But in Utah, where LDS callings change regularly, "training is constant," putting a heavy load on executives here.
Paid well
Not just the top officials at Utah's Scout councils are paid well. Many others at those councils are, too.
The Great Salt Lake Council, for example, ranks No. 2 nationally for how many of its executives earn more than $50,000 a year. It lists 23. Only the Greater New York City Council has more, 40, and the National Capitol Area Council around Washington, D.C., ties with the Salt Lake council.
The council in Orem ties for 10th in the nation, with 14 employees making more than $50,000 a year, and the council in Ogden ties for 68th with five, according to 2005 data (although Barnes says it now has 13 who make more than $50,000).
Moore says so many are well paid in his council because many have long tenure. The starting salary nationally for new, entry-level Scout executives is $36,700, and the post requires a bachelor's degree. Moore says considering that starting point, "you see that anybody who has been with the organization 10 years or so are going to be up there."
He adds, "We have people of long tenure. And our typical district executive serves 200 to 300 units, and 3,000 to 5,000 youth members in our program. The national numbers for that are about 1,500 youths and 100 or fewer units."
He said a smaller staff that is more experienced and highly compensated accomplishes as much as a bigger group with more entry-level people.
Scott Baird, volunteer president of the Utah National Parks Council in Orem, said, "I wish that we had more that we were paying above $50,000 because it would reflect greater maturity and experience" and would help prevent them from leaving to other more lucrative Scout jobs elsewhere.
He said in local board meetings where salaries are discussed, "I've never had a single person in all of those budget meetings ... say, 'Are we paying our professionals too much?' We had several
who said, 'Are we paying our professionals well enough to attract good people and to keep them?'
"That's an indicator to me that not only are we paying fair compensation, but it is the desire of our constituency to do so," he said.
Baird adds, "We do some bad things to our professionals. ... We kill them; we overwork them. Nationwide, an average unit-serving executive would serve on the high side maybe 50 to 60 units. In the Utah National Parks Council, it is 200-plus units."Of note, councils nationally of sizes similar to those in Utah (according to BSA rankings) average 12 employees making more than $50,000 a year. The average among all 293 councils for whom Forms 990 could be located was just two employees earning more than that amount.
By comparison
Professional Scouting appears to be one of the better-paying occupations in Utah.
The Utah Department of Workforce Services reports that the highest average salary for any occupation it surveys is $193,960 annually for obstetricians/gynecologists. Moore's 2005 compensation (salary and benefits) was higher at $201,000 (and is currently $214,000).

MobileMuster is the Australian mobile phone industry's official product stewardship program. It's a free not for profit mobile phone recycling program that accepts all brands and types of mobile phones, plus their batteries, chargers and accessories. It is the mobile phone industry's way of ensuring old mobile phone products don't end up in landfill - but instead are recycled in a safe, secure and ethical way.
So why is this important? Over 90% of the materials (metals and plastics) used in a mobile are recyclable and can be reused to make new products, avoiding future greenhouse gas emissions, saving energy, protecting our environment and conserving scarce natural resources.
Mobile phone components should also never be thrown in the rubbish, where they can end up in landfill. For one thing they're not biodegradable, so they won't break down. On top of that, mobiles contain some substances that can potentially harm the environment if not disposed of correctly.
At MobileMuster, we aim to make sure mobiles are handled properly at the end of their useful lives and recycled to the highest environmental standards. Our mission is simple. We promise to keep mobile phones out of landfill. All we are asking you to do is to promise to recycle them.
MobileMuster works with partners like mobile phone retailers, other retailers, local councils and Australia Post to collect phones from the general public. We encourage people to return their old phones, either by dropping them off, or posting them to us. Either way, it's free for consumers, schools, businesses, councils and government agencies.
Each and every mobile we receive is dismantled and recycled, nothing is resold for reuse and any data left on the handset is destroyed through the recycling process.
MobileMuster is a not-for-profit program, voluntarily funded by the following mobile telecommunications companies :
MobileMuster is managed by the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) on behalf of these members.
It is the only recycling program that is:
MobileMuster accepts all brands of mobile phones, including their batteries, chargers and accessories. All components are recycled locally or in developed countries overseas - and none are sold for reuse or exported to developing countries.
At MobileMuster we also report annually on our collections and recycling processes, which are audited by an independent third party.

Will 'Black' Issues Get An Even Stronger Focus As NAACP Diversifies?
Tell Me More today follows up on an Associated Press story that says "the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is seeing remarkable diversity in its leadership ranks — the result of an aggressive effort over the past four or five years to boost NAACP membership and broaden the civil rights organization's agenda to confront prejudice in its many forms."
Victor Diaz, a Dominican-American who has been elected president of the NAACP's chapter in Waterbury, Conn., and Ravi Perry, an openly gay professor who now leads the chapter in Worcester, Mass., spoke with host Michel Martin about why they've been active in the organization.
And when Michel asked how they address the concerns of African-American members who feel that their concerns might get less attention from leaders who aren't black, Perry stressed that "civil rights and civil liberties are for all people" and that by working together with gays, Hispanics and others, African-Americans can build coalitions and "that actually makes those issues stronger."

RALEIGH -- The state has stopped paying for Viagra and other drugs that treat erectile dysfunction after finding that 15 convicted sex offenders received the pills through Medicaid.
State health officials discovered the offenders after news accounts of similar discoveries in other states. They suspended the coverage last week, and state lawmakers quickly began drafting legislation to keep Viagra and similar therapies off-limits to sex offenders.
"It is just abhorrent that we would run the risk of any sex offender receiving the drug," said Carmen Hooker Odom, North Carolina's secretary of health and human services.
Last fiscal year, North Carolina's Medicaid program -- which provides health insurance for poor residents -- filled more than 41,000 prescriptions for erectile-dysfunction drugs at a cost of nearly $800,000.
That figure is a small fraction of the $1.4 billion that North Carolina and the federal government spent on prescription drugs for Medicaid patients in the state last year.
Still, it warrants closer attention, lawmakers said, particularly in a year when legislative leaders ordered up to $100 million in cuts in Medicaid to offset the program's spiraling spending increases.

With version 2.0.7 of Custom Sidebars I can't define where to show my custom sidebar. As you can see in the screenshot, the options for single entries and for archives are not shown; so, they can't not be selected.
Using Chrome Console, I've seen that the HTML code for those options exists, but it is not shown and can not be selected.
The last version which works in my site is 2.0.3.
I've changed my theme to Twenty Fourteen, but Custom Sidebars doesn't work. I've algo enabled WP debug, but there's no warning message related to the plugin.
Any idea?

Upgraded to v2.5 smoothly. Everything is real nice (even my non-embedded wpg2 stuff), image uploader works good etc.
Problem is that every time I click to write (new) or edit a post or page, it takes like 2 minutes for the edit page (where you input text) to load. I tried deactivating ALL plugins, restarted apache, disabled xcache, but nothing seems to fix this problem.
After 2 minute wait I am able to write the post as I normally would, but there is another 2 minute hang when I click Save. However, the post is updated right away (as seen in another browser) when I do click save, it's just the edit page itself has this two minute hanging problem...
Any suggestions to try to resolve?

I am having a HUGE problem with photopress on 2 websites I run (using WP 2.0.2 & 2.0.5). No matter what I do, I cannot get the programme to read and write to the folders (trying to get it to wp-content/uploads/photos).
I have CHMOD 777 for everything I can think of, deleted, and created new directories, everything.
The reason I know that it is wordpress is because I have "Post Avatars: plugin installed, and that reads my avatars directory just fine (which is wp-content/uploads/avatars).
Please please please will someone please point me to the right direction I am TEARING my hair out!!!

Murdoch-Owned Company Cancels Murdoch-Teasing Podcast
The Bugle got dropped, but for financial reasons, supposedly.
When the owners of a media empire start making news themselves, it can put employees in an uncomfortable position. The ongoing phone-hacking scandal at News Corporation is not only a good story for its serious properties, like The Wall Street Journal, but it makes for great comedy, as evidenced by the podcast The Bugle, which gained popularity this year by skewering Rupert and James Murdoch, whose Times of London published the show. Unfortunately, the paper dropped the program, hosted by The Daily Show's John Oliver and British comedian Andy Zaltzman, this week, supposedly for financial reasons, not because of ill-advised jokes.
"It's not been a great year for the company, and I'm not surprised that they are cutting costs," said the podcast's freelance producer. "Listening figures are up, but media sales in the U.K. as a whole are down." The comedians may pursue a subscription model, likely heartened by Louis C.K.'s recent success. As for the Murdochs, the material just keeps coming. "Last show possibly this week, but hopefully mid-January," said Zaltzman. "No lash-out plans. Yet."

Louis Marx (August 11, 1896 – February 5, 1982) was an American toy maker and businessman whose company, Louis Marx and Company, was the largest toy company in the world in the 1950s. Described by many as an experienced businessman with the mind of child; Louis Marx's ability to see into the minds of children around the world guided his toy creations and advertising efforts.[1]
Marx was known by numerous nicknames, including "Toycoon," "the Henry Ford of the toy industry," "the hawk of the toy industry," and "the toy king of America."[citation needed]
Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Austrian Jewish parents, Marx graduated from high school at age 15 and started his career working for Ferdinand Strauss, a manufacturer of mechanical toys. By 1916, Marx was managing Strauss' plant in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But within a year, Marx was fired by Strauss' board of directors over a disagreement about sales practices.
Marx then entered the United States Army as a private and attained the rank of sergeant before returning to civilian life in 1918. Marx's passion for the Army was reflected throughout his life; most of Marx's military toys represented Army equipment, and Marx would later make a practice of befriending generals and naming his sons after them.
Following military service, Marx then went to work selling for a Vermont-based manufacturer of wood toys, redesigned the product line, and increased the company's sales tenfold.[2]
In 1919 Marx and his brother David incorporated, founding the company that bore his name. Initially working as a middle man, Marx was soon able to purchase tooling to manufacture toys himself. When Strauss fell on hard financial times, Marx was able to buy the dies for two Strauss toys and turn them into best-sellers. By age 26, three years after founding his company, Marx was a millionaire.
By utilizing techniques of mass production and reusing old designs as much as possible – Marx utilized some of his toy train tooling developed in the early 1930s until 1972 – Marx was able to sell a broad line of inexpensive toys. All US-made toy trains would come from a plant in Girard, Pennsylvania, which produced millions of lithographed tin, and plastic toy trains.[3]
By 1951, the Marx company had 12 factories worldwide, and for much of the 1950s it was the largest toy manufacturer in the world, with much of the success coming from Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog sales and the many themed playsets available. As World War II drew to a close, Marx had toured Europe and acted as a consultant on how toy manufacturing could aid reconstruction efforts. Marx used the contacts he made in this manner to forge partnerships and open factories in Europe and Japan. Marx was featured on the cover of Time magazine on December 12, 1955, with his portrait eclipsing an image of Santa Claus, while examples of his toys swirl in the background.
Marx's married his first wife, René Aber, in the 1920s when she was in the Follies. Rene's sister, Clara Aber and her mother moved into the Marx home, after their brother left Fort Crockette, Galveston, TX where he was first assigned after graduating from West Point. Rene died in 1944 of breast cancer at age 37. His second wife, Idella Ruth Blackadder (b. 1924), was nearly 28 years his junior.
Marx's daughter, Patricia, was born in 1938. She went on to become an activist author, and the second wife of Daniel Ellsberg, assisting him in the release of the Pentagon Papers. Louis Marx, a strident anti-Communist and supporter of Richard Nixon, regarded Ellsberg as a traitor afterwards.[4] Eldest child, Barbara Marx Hubbard (1929–), is a New Age futurist who is involved in helping humans make an evolutionary shift to a higher and better consciousness.
Marx's son, Louis Marx Junior, is a venture capitalist, and a philanthropist who has contributed to the arts, education and medicine.[citation needed] One such example is the Louis Marx Center for Children and Families of New York.
The industrialist retired in 1972, selling his company to Quaker Oats for $54 million.[citation needed] Marx was 76 years old and his company had been declining. The drop off has been blamed variously on the company's slowness to develop electronic toys and on Marx's unwillingness to employ salesmen for fear of someone else repeating his early experience with Strauss.[citation needed]
Louis Marx died at the hospital in White Plains, New York, at age 85. He is interred in a private mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, New York.

When asked about my favorite C&C dinner, it definitely would have to be our first dinner at Chen's Shanghai Kitchen in Richmond. This restaurant really was the perfect setting for our first dining adventure. It may be a hole in a wall kind of restaurant. But while it does not have the fancy decor or setting that Dinesty Chinese Restaurant or Shanghai River (also in Richmond) have to offer, their food… well, it's amazing. Let's just say, it wasn't at all difficult to take good photos of their dishes. Prepare. To. Drool.
For snacks and appies we ordered pig ears, spicy green beans and the hot and sour soup. Now, I usually feel bad ordering hot and sour soup when going to restaurants. It's just a soup and usually isn't anything fancy. But with Cam there, I had a fellow fan. The soup took a while to come out but when it did, it was hit with the entire group. It tasted freshly made, with tons of chilis and hearty ingredients.
It may seem silly when sharing dishes, but we ended up ordering three different soup noodle dishes to share. These were ordered by Phoebe, so excuse me as I have no recollection of what they are called. All I do remember is that the last noodle dish in the series had an amazing broth. It was very light, but something about that broth really made it stand out. If I could remember the name of the dish, I'd recommend it!
I've made a habit of trying the spicy won tons at each Shanghainese restaurant I've been eating at. I don't recall this one being as memorable as the one at Din Tai Fung in Seattle.
But what were we really there for?? C&C started over a single soup dumpling photo taken by Brian. With enough drooling over his photos, we quested out to find some good soup dumplings worthy of a photo op. Chen's Shanghai Kitchen definitely did not disappoint.
These dumplings were huge. And it's not because they were just bigger that the usual soup dumplings we're use to seeing, but because they were bursting with soup! Each dumpling probably had enough soup to fill your soup spoon (I may be exaggerating, but I remember being pretty impressed). How do they do it? It puzzles me. But to make it possible, it seems they had to make the skin a bit thicker than the skin you get at Din Tai Fung. This may throw some soup dumpling fans off, but I didn't mind it.
Needless to say, the soup dumplings were a hit. So much so that we are still raving about them! I would even say that they are my favorite soup dumplings in town.
Finishing off our meals, we ordered the deep fried buns with condensed milk. I never had these delights before that dinner but I was left with a pretty good impression. The downside to this is now when ever I order these anywhere else, I expect them to be of Chen's level. Delicious.

Editor: A recent letter about a proposed marina at Fish Island referred to 41,080 square feet of marsh front coverage by the proposed marina. But, 41,080 square feet of sheltered marsh bottom will only support marine organisms not needing sunlight to live. If the organisms that require sunlight to live aren't ambulatory, they will die. All those "little critters" that love all that shaded area either swim or crawl, and can adjust their environment to be able to survive, to maintain their respective places in the marine food chain.
I agree that available public dockage is in short supply. The land that these developer(s) want, is owned by the taxpayers. These spaces are exclusively for the condo owners. New marine construction for the general population of St. Augustine would probably be welcomed by those who have boats.
That the condos will be taxed is a given. What will the 41,080 square feet of dock/ marine construction add to the tax rolls ? The approval of the dock construction will allow the developers to get more for their condos. Profit is their motivating factor.
With 100 boat slips in the marina, will the boat owners be responsible for adding detergent (during wash down of their respective boats) to these marine estuaries, an additional negative impact on marine life. I'm not aware of any marine biological species that need the addition of detergent /oil spills / gasoline spills to thrive.
The letter writer is wisely interested in maintaining /increasing our tax base. We all are pleased when property is added to Flagler, federal government, religious /state protection, while at the same time forgetting that when these various entities "envelop" these properties, they are removed from our tax rolls.
Hopefully, the city will deny approval of this marina.

I apologize in advance is this question is too broad, but I need some help conceptualizing.
The end result is that I want to enable radius-based searching. I am using Django. To do this, I have two classes: Users and Places. Inside the Users class is a function that defines the radius in which people want to search. Inside the Places class I have a function that defines the midpoint if someone enters a city and state and not a zip (i.e., if someone enters New York, NY a lot of zipcodes are associated with that so I needed to find the midpoint).
I have those two parts down. So now I have a radius where people want to search and I know (the estimate) of the places. Now, I am having a tremendous amount of difficulty combining the two, or even thinking about HOW to do this.
I attempted doing the searching against each other in the view, but I ran into a lot of trouble when I was looping through one model in the template but trying to display results based on an if statement of the other model.
It seemed like a custom template tags would be the solution for that problem, but I wanted to make sure I was conceptualizing the problem correctly in the first place. I.e.,
Do I want to do the displays based on an if statement in the template?
Or should I be creating another class based on the other two in my models file?
Or should I create a new column for one of the classes in the models file?
I suppose my ultimate question is, based on what it is I want to do (enable radius based searching), where/how should most of the work be done? Again, I apologize if the question is overly broad.
