And behold, I am with your always, to the end of the age."

I just completed my first HIM this past weekend in Augusta. Very fun and I can't wait for the next one.. and the one after that.. etc.
One thought that popped into my head was if racing a 70.3 triathlon or a full marathon is more challenging/difficult.
My feelings are that the training for a HIM is more time consuming and taxing on the body but although the HIM takes a bit longer to complete, the full marathon is more taxing on the body on race day.
I'm on the fence and would say they are about equally difficult/challenging if you are comparing apples to apples as far as weather conditions and course difficulty.
I completed an ultra marathon a few months ago and that was by FAR the most difficult thing I have ever done.. but the main reason it was so hard was the 100 degree heat index.
Anyway.. it is something worth discussing.
Post your comments HERE>>> TRIANDRUN.COM
"Enter a race. Train to become faster and stronger. Honor the commitment. Reap the rewards." - me
I couldnt agree with you more, You hit the head on the nail, I did my first HIM in July of this year too.....
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
While both are very challenging distances, the marathon may seem more demanding on race day because you are using the same muscle groups throughout the entire distance. A triathlon is going to allow you to use different muscle groups at different times.

I Need You To Behave
Marker pen and stickers on c-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
I Need You To Behave shows the Oval Office inset with a news clipping of guide dogs trained to operate ATMs. Adorned with a sticker and marker pen drawing, ReidŌĆÖs photo-collage dissembles notions of power and corruption to ridiculously abject proportions. ŌĆ£The text is like a psychotic voice addressing the image,ŌĆØ says Reid. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs an imperative in the way that the text works in relation to the image. The drawing is a continuity of the photograph. ItŌĆÖs all organised quite formally and done very quickly. ThereŌĆÖs not a lot of time spent considering, and I do more than I use, make and edit later. Each work is developed from a bank of association. ItŌĆÖs informed, but the connections come from the habit of making. Most of my work deals with the idea of absurdity ŌĆō things like ŌĆśHomerŌĆÖs fingerŌĆÖs too fatŌĆÖ, cultural things that enter parlance, things that get picked up amongst friends: theyŌĆÖre like symptoms or a currency. This ties in with physical awkwardness; itŌĆÖs related to our physical relation to things, like making art.ŌĆØ

Take No Photographs, Leave Only Ripples
27 silver Inkjet prints
each 84 x 120 cm, or 120 x 84 cm
Clunie Reid approaches the junk food menu of consumer culture with bulimic gusto: gluttonously binging on the whole of mass media only to regurgitate it, macerated and comically bilious. The more she consumes, the leaner her work gets, distilling the very essence of pop consciousness. Using the photographic image as both her subject and media, Reid takes pictures of advertisements, newspapers, magazines, TV, and the internet, things she finds on the street, things in her studio; she even re-photographs her photos. She makes collages and drawings on them, scrawls absurd logos, spontaneous retorts to the cameraŌĆÖs neatly packaged imagery. And then she re-photographs them again. ŌĆ£The images are not enclosed thematically,ŌĆØ Reid says of Take No Photographs..., ŌĆ£they were chosen because of how they can be played off each other. IŌĆÖm interested in advertising, the way in which images of bodies and objects have a relationship to the way our view of the world is constructed. By vulgarising this imagery, my work explores the hidden mechanics of image construction, highlighting things which are implicit in media.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
Window, Smoke, Square
Marker pen and stickers on c-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
In Window, Smoke, Square, Reid constructs an image to reiterate the viewerŌĆÖs processes of perception. The piece shows a detail of a generic magazine picture which Reid re-photographed (the glare in the bottom right corner is a result of her cameraŌĆÖs flash) and then over-layed with a decorative sticker and text. Labelling every element of the photo, Reid compounds the act of looking to a state of hyper-consciousness. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about the amount of information you have in an image,ŌĆØ explains Reid, ŌĆ£how you make sense of an image if everything is active in telling you what it is. The work is proactive, or interfering, with a transparent viewing process: the degrees of substantiality or surreality of the thing in the image in relation to just seeing the image as purely icon. The square is a square but also something else, the room is negative space but is positive in comparison to the text, and the girl is reduced to the level of the other objects in the image.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
Marker pen on C-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
ReidŌĆÖs observed ŌĆślifeŌĆÖ lived through the lens cumulates as a sublime private/public collapse, a nervous breakdown of mixed messaging, unattainable ideals, transparent clich├®s and hypocrisies. Picturing a photo of Pete from Big Brother taken from a gossip magazine, Reid uses his celebrity persona as a departure point into making. Pete, who has become the countryŌĆÖs most famous face of TouretteŌĆÖs Syndrome, is well known for his clowny behaviour which intentionally exaggerates the perception of his condition, turning his ŌĆśfreakishnessŌĆÖ into a charismatic attribute. The stripes drawn on top of the photo roughly approximate the TV flickering of skewed transmission. Made with marker pen and a ruler, the ink bled under the rulerŌĆÖs surface creating aberrant smudges from what might have been a perfectly straight line, they suggest a sense of violence and beauty in their degraded communication.
Clunie Reid
She Gets Even Happier
Mixed media (63 components)
Dimensions variable
ReidŌĆÖs work is a testament, symptom, and purge of media over-identification: situating herself as a kind of human ŌĆśbroadbandŌĆÖ, she streams the experience of information overload in her large-scale photographic installations. These replicate the omnipresent bombardment of media messaging, as well as the internal expanse of the psyche. Her consumed images are re-ordered, re-authored, and personalised, subsumed into a warped constructed identity. She Gets Even Happier presents dozens of photographs, drawings, and collages on roughly cut foam-board, each humorously hung with a wire, a cartoon lingo for ŌĆśpictureŌĆÖ. ŌĆ£I wanted to find a way to present photo images on that kind of scale,ŌĆØ Reid explains. ŌĆ£Their multiplicity could also be something bigger, operate more ambitiously, be more monumental. It also allows me to go beyond the photo, to write, scrawl beyond the image, to play with something thatŌĆÖs a bit more autographic or direct ŌĆō a bit like graffiti or vandalism.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
ItŌĆÖs Time For Bed Cassiopeia
Marker pen on silver inkjet print
112 x 84 cm
Reid describes her work as: ŌĆ£Drawing narratives or paradoxes between images and materials. IŌĆÖm drawn to images that suggest hyperreal or transcendent states: the body, derelict and abject images, images that can also be made to oscillate between these. ThereŌĆÖs often a sexual matrix in the work; loads and loads of really simplistic jokes that come from Freud or Lacan For Beginners, really bottom-level dumb jokes.ŌĆØ In ItŌĆÖs Time For Bed Cassiopeia, Reid plays off the Greek legend of Cassiopeia, a beautiful vain queen who was imprisoned in the sky, in a star constellation that often appears reversed. Her duplicity is rendered in ReidŌĆÖs silver foil-based portrait as a background divided in two parts. The figureŌĆÖs face, taken from a Manga porn character, is embodied in a crude sexy drawing; her top half set against shrewd calculating blue, and her nether bits bathed in tempting red, both warranting the applied parental advisory label.
Clunie Reid
She Likes The Way She Feels
Mixed media on silver inkjet print
84 x 112 cm
She Likes The Way She Feels was made at a time when Reid was working on an animation featuring Pamela Anderson in a shower, and much of its visual ŌĆślogicŌĆÖ extends from her film; this illustrates ReidŌĆÖs creative processes of stream of consciousness association, overlapping images and ideas in continuous cross reference that mirror mediaŌĆÖs output. The background is a negative and reversed image of a casino, its aqua blue hues and solarised treatment reference water: ŌĆ£as a spiritual or subjective state, of being in perfect harmony with oneŌĆÖs surroundings,ŌĆØ Reid explains. ŌĆ£The text suggests a self-conscious feeling of pleasure, and a movement towards that being objectified. ŌĆśAttentionŌĆÖ at the bottom brings it all back to a narcissistic self image.ŌĆØ Covered with super-girlie decals, Reid points to the infantilisation of female sexuality in popular culture.
Artist Of The Week 43: Clunie Reid
Wednesday 3rd June 2009, by Jessica Lack, The Guardian
When Clunie Reid was asked to name the single most important item in her studio, she said "my scissors". Not surprising, considering that in the artist's relatively short career, she has sliced up enough movie stars and pop princesses to rival the best of Hollywood's plastic surgeons.
Reid's work is, quite simply, the antithesis to aspirational, lifestyle-magazine culture. Her tactics are to the point: re-appropriating glossy images from the media, like punk artists Jamie Reid and Linder did in the 1970s. She scrawls the words "I Shop in Iceland" in felt tip over Britney Spears's face and creates aggressive collages of tabloid stars picked from the pages of Hello! and Heat. Reid's work lifts the lid on consumer culture and sleek celebrity imagery to force us to question how these pictures affect us.
Magazine adverts are Reid's most obvious targets; she scribbles in black pen over the pictures to highlight how cliched and staged they are (something Charles Saatchi clearly appreciated, having bought several of her works). Other artworks are more knowing, making in-jokes to other artists who use mass media in a similar way. Richard Price's reconfigured Malboro Man comes to mind.
Reid also creates playful pictorial juxtapositions: in Untitled (Cat/Blow Job), 2005, for instance, she places the image of a cat hanging upside-down above a photograph of a woman fellating a flaccid member. The moggy's pose mirrors the limp organ. It's a way of getting us to face up to the overt sexuality of the media, and perhaps also a rallying cry for integrity from an industry that seems, at times, devoid of self-regulation.
Born in Pembury in 1971 and now based in London, Reid studied painting at the Royal College of Art. She deliberately uses cheap materials ŌĆō gaffer tape and blue biro are common ŌĆō in knowing contrast to the expensive-looking images she defaces. Many of her works question the idea of beauty, be it Venice sunsets designed to entice city execs, or fashion models, airbrushed to perfection. Speed is of the essence, and many of Reid's collages are made quickly as if she is physically trying to keep up with her thought process. Mistakes are left in place or simply blacked out, and the scratchy, makeshift results appear as fickle and impermanent as the world she is portraying.

Kanye Wore a Confederate Flag to Barneys

Perhaps it's more shocking that he repeated an outfit twice in one week.
The Blind Barber's Adam Kirsch and Rob McMillen talk facial hair and men's health.
It eats hamburgers, like any respectable monster should.
It was all about the sleeves, the hair, and of course, the jewelry.
Now that she's experienced both.
This is a great barometer of celebrity.
And ruffly socks.
It's called "Gold."
Walking the runway in a crop top.
A definitive who's who of Halloween 2013.
Actually, this probably has nothing to do with Halloween.
They said Barneys CEO Mark Lee has two days to respond to their letter.
With PUPPETS.
"It's a statement on not selling out."
It's called AYR.
She said so herself.
And Arnold Palmer.
And it was a surprisingly great experience.
We'll take one of everything, please.

Bacha poems
Therese Bacha
Because he no more loves me,
I will have to go back to my solitude -
my only friend, before I met him.
Now, today after many years in love
he is throwing my adoration
through a severe hurricane;
forgetting to protect me.
My man - the only man
I have ever loved;
he no more loves me. Why?
Suddenly, all my expectations
dissolved, disappeared;
gone to another continent,
even to another atmosphere -
anywhere, but here with me.
He no more loves me. Why?
How I wish, this very moment
to be invisible,
As my dreams and thoughts
are turning into hatred.
He no more loves me. Why?
Sobbing is echoing louder
than the silence surrounding
my dark room.
I will be living patiently out of love.
He no more loves me.
I am never included in any of his plans,
neither those of yesterday, today, or tomorrow.
How I wish to remember
only the good times we had together;
but now, there is no present or future
Because he loves me no more.
I am old, and have not
Much time left.

"When this tzitzit catches your eye, you will remember all the commands of the Eternal and do them" Numbers 15:39
The last paragraph of the Shema concludes a dramatic parashah that begins with Moses sending 12 spies to scout the land of Israel. It is not clear why they are being sent, but judging from God's furious reaction on their return with negative reports, God may have been expecting something more positive. The people are condemned to wander 40 years and only the children of the generation liberated from Egypt will enter Israel.
If it is not evident why their report merits such catastrophic punishment, what exactly was their terrible sin? Some commentators see the spies' report as a rejection of the Land of Israel. It remains an agonizingly topical consideration: is it sinful for a Jew to spread an evil report about the state of Israel? Enough non-Jews spread such reports. Is it wrong for us Jews to add to the chorus?
Rabbi Lisa Gelber makes a lovely connection between this question and the command about tzitzit. The command to look at the tzitzit, to remember and observe, is, she says, a symbol of community participation. Tzitzit is the quintessential representation of mitzvot— actions.
The spies sought to be passive observers. Their report was an exhortation against community participation, against active engagement to enter the land. Seeing tzitzit encourages us to involve ourselves in Jewish life.
I cannot feel it is sinful for a Jew to criticise Israel. Perhaps, though, if we must criticise, we should simultaneously explore (or "spy into") our motivations. How committed to the existence and necessity of the state are we? Do we feel part of the community, and are we willing to back up words of criticism with actions of commitment?

Best of Best Apple Pie
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 40 mins
I have been making this pie, by request from my friend Connie, for Thanksgiving the last 20 years or so. I clipped it from a magazine (I think Better Homes and Gardens) wore the clipping out and had to scan it to keep a copy. You would think after 20 years I could do it in my sleep, but . . . Anyway, after 20 some years I have only tweeked it a little - that is how good the original is. The only change I have made is to double everything from brown sugar through salt to the asked for amount of apples - we like it sweet and gooey (so if you don't - don't double). Also I use a V-slicer (or mandoline) to slice the apples ultra thin. The original recipe calls for Rome and it means it. I have tried other cooking or pie apples and it just doesn't come out the same. This is a very full pie, you will think you have too many apples, but you don't - trust me. Use your own pie crust, store bought crust, or My Daddy's Pie Crust posted on Zaar. Prep time is estimated on not making your own crust; however I always do - so it takes me WAY more time. Cooking time depends on your oven - the bubbling through the crust is the key. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 lbs rome apples, pared, quarterd, cored and thinly sliced (8 cups, from here through the salt, I double, if your dont' won't gooey and sweet then follow as sta)
- 1⁄3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1⁄3 cup sugar, granulated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 18 inches pie crusts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- water (optional) or milk (optional)
- sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
- Place apples in a large bowl.
- Mix sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl; Sprinkle dry mixture over apples; toss gently, to mix.
- Let stand until a little juice forms, at least 10 minutes or more.
- Prepare pie crust of your choice.
- Pile apple mixture into pastry; dot with butter
- Place second crust over the apples, and crimp.
- Brush with water or milk if desired.
- Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
- Bake pie at 425 for 40 minutes or until juices bubble through slits and apples are tender.
- If edges are browning too fast cover wth a narrow strip of foil.
Most Helpful
Fabulous. Made this for Christmas Dinner Dessert and everyone loved it. We used Granny Smith apples because I couldn't find Rome in my store. We also took the suggestion and doubled everything and it was gooey and yummy! Since I am not a great dough maker, we used store brand refrigerated pie dough and it was just fine. Hardest part was peeling/coring/slicing all those apples but soooo worth it!
Loved this recipe! The hardest part was slicing the apples!! It had a wonderful flavor and my DAD even loved it (he's a bit hard to please)! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe Laura. This certainly does make a lovely tall, gooey, sweet apple pie, that is subtley spiced. Well worth the time and effort to make. The apples sing in this lovely dish. I used a combo of rome, granny smith and empire apples for a truly great apple flavor. (I didn't have enough Rome apples). I will definitely make this again. You were a great Pac baby.

Product Description
Disc 3 jumps forward to the architectural mysteries of World War II, uncovering the top-secret, high-security structures built in the United States to support the development and construction of the atom bomb; "Hitler's Supercity" of Germania, the Fuhrer's Greco-Roman dream that never came to pass, yet remains evident in the massive structures of the Third Reich; and "Churchill's Secret Bunkers" beneath the streets of London, a fascinating network of underground tunnels used as an allied command center impervious to German bombing raids. Disc 4 focuses on the enigmatic histories of Europe, with episodes on "The Real Dracula" (rebuilding the remote Romanian castle of the notorious "Vlad the Impaler"); "Braveheart's Scotland" demonstrates how 13th-century Scottish culture was far more sophisticated than its depiction in Mel Gibson's popular Oscar®-winning film Braveheart; and "The Pagans" offers an in-depth history of the British Isles, where the pagan people built astonishing, spiritually vital structures like Stonehenge. A bonus episode--the series pilot--focuses on Palenque, the magnificent Mayan temple-city that rises from the jungle of Chiapas, Mexico.
In each of these episodes, historians, architects, and engineers are consulted as on-screen guides to our fascinating journeys to the past. The result is a detailed narrative that combines social, religious, political, and technological aspects of history, until the magic moment arrives when all of this information is used (along with detailed CGI imagery) to unveil these important structures in their pristine form--in many cases more colorful and architecturally impressive than anyone could imagine. All of this makes Lost Worlds a richly rewarding experience, essentially the next best thing to owning a time machine. --Jeff Shannon

I've heard the saying: "The only secure computer is one that is disconnected from the network". I'm curious in which cases this applies to dual boot setups.
Let's say I've got a laptop with 2 partitions.
- Partition 1 runs Win 8, is connected to the internet, users install programs, etc.
- Partition 2 also runs Win 8, but with the networking software disabled or uninstalled. The files on Partition 2 are encrypted.
Users alternate between logging into Partition 1 and 2 (as admins). When a user logs into Partition 2, they temporarily decrypt the files.
Assuming the login for Partition 2 is kept secret, is there any way the data on Partition 2 can be accessed, either by malware or a person who manages to log into Partition 1?

President Toomas Ilves tells the story of being offered free legacy equipment for fixed lines from a neighboring country. He said no. That was the best decision he made for the country, because now he regularly hosts other world leaders to show how e-democracy and e-governance can create a healthy economy and society.
Today, in a seminar at his gathering "Estonia's Friends," Ilves told how 95 percent of all banking and tax declarations are done online. The country is a hotbed of innovation. He also said that in a global contest of the 30 best startups, seven of the top-placers came from Estonia.
We interviewed Ilves a while ago and his quotes are still worth repeating.
Estonia is working with the Wolfram Group to rejig how it teaches mathematics to students. (Stop teaching kids to calculate. Instead, teach them to ask the right questions, then translate into computation. Let a computer compute, then teach the students to translate it back into good language.)
Conrad Wolfram, celebrated TED talker and all-round very, very clever person, has a list of characteristics that make Estonia successful:
1. Apply technology everywhere
2. First is good (he says if you wait for proof of success before you try an idea, you've already blown it)
3. Change has been good; let's do more (when was the last time you heard anyone say that AND MEAN IT)
4. Strong brand – Estonia has built its reputation as "E-stonia"
5. Direct and proactive openness
6. Nimble
7. Rule of law but push against boundaries
8. Smart trumps effort
I think this is a list of courageous qualities. So yes, it takes courage to make the Networked Society come to life – to dare to leave behind the old ways of doing things.
Catching ideas is a big part of anyone's strategy these days, and it's a clear element of our Networked Society story – watch THIS MOVIE (Networked Society Simplified) for the recipe.
Last week, I was with our head of Sustainability, Elaine Weidman-Grunewald, for a brainstorming session hosted by CNBC about Energy Opportunities.
Seven tables of people from business, government, and non-government agencies were mixed and matched and asked to spend an hour finding new ideas to reduce carbon emissions. It was quite cool and varied – but common to all the ideas was the foundation of devices that communicate with each other (m2m), ubiquitous broadband, and partnerships across public and private entities.
So while that event was about inspiration and possibilities, Estonia is about the experience. Estonia not only has the list of courageous qualities; it also has the technology. They recently expanded LTE so they have the best coverage (more than 95 percent) in Europe.
Horribly, the only place in Tallinn where there didn't seem to be internet was my hotel room last night. Which explains why there was some crazy woman madly uploading video and sending e-mails from the hallway at 11 o'clock last night.
Brace yourselves. I must have been in Val-HALL-ah.

Hi, that's interesting. It could be that version 4.0.0 for Win7 is having this issue. Where I could download from an older version of Ubuntu One for Win7?

I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious here.
I'm using plugin v1.1. on WordPress v3.3.2. It's a bit of a weird config because I'm running it on a sub-domain-based Multi-site on my localhost, but I can't see that that would make a difference in my problem.
I've got an editor field that's not doing wpautop, despite the wpautop setting being true. It's not just a display issue. I've checked the database and the option is not being set with p tags.
My code looks like:
function optionsframework_options() {
$wp_editor_settings = array(
'wpautop' => true, // Default
'textarea_rows' => 5,
'tinymce' => array( 'plugins' => 'wordpress' )
$options = array();
$options[] = array(
'name' => 'Front Page',
'type' => 'heading');
$options[] = array(
'name' => 'Front Page Text',
'desc' => 'Text for the front page image section',
'id' => 'front_page_text',
'type' => 'editor',
'std' => "Standard text\n\non two lines",
'settings' => $wp_editor_settings );
return $options;
Any thoughts on what might be stopping wpautop working?

This question already has an answer here:
I was playing Minecraft and I decided to make a train so that when it hits the detector rail I teleport using a command block. I connected the command block to the detector rail and on the command block I typed in a random x y z and when I tried it I spawn in the clouds up high in the sky. When I fall back down to earth the train hits the detector rail again and I teleport back up again. How can I get out of this cycle?

Successes in this difficult and often frustrating field can be few and hard won, a fact which Hayden deftly illustrates while simultaneously offering hope and joy in small victories. This time she brings to life the story of a scruffy seven-year-old, Venus, who is so unresponsive that Hayden searches for signs of deafness, brain damage, or mental retardation.
One Saturday night in Las Vegas, 12-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn't come home. In the aftermath of his disappearance, his mother, Lorraine, makes daily pilgrimages to her son's room and tortures herself with memories. Equally distraught, the boy's father, Lincoln, finds himself wanting to comfort his wife even as he yearns for solace, a loving touch, any kind of intimacy.

I get confirmation "Your message was sent successfully. Thanks." but no email received. I have not made any changes, I would just like to use as is. How do I resolve?
It was a mail server issue and now resolved. Thanks
What was the issue because I am having the same problem but do not see the issue.
I can send e-mails to and from the email address I am having the Plugin send to. So it can't be a problem there, can it?
The spam setting is at its lowest possible and nothing is loading into spam folders.
I have the same problem -- not getting email. I have been using Contact Form 7 for over a year without any problems and then yesterday when I changed the form, I am not getting any emails. The green box comes up that says it sent, I checked all the spam/quarantine folders and it is not in there! HELP!
I'm having the same problem. Contact Form 7 worked earlier this week, but won't work today. HELP!
It has to do with the "form action" file that's being called up. I just spent 2 hours on the phone with GoDaddy, and they said their servers don't like the one that CF7 uses—he didn't know CF& specifically, but in viewing the source, said I shouldn't use that.
I finally found where CF7 calls in the form action—it's in the "classes.php" file. You apparently need to use "webformmailer.php" in there instead.
It's worked a couple times, but there is still something wonky going on on GoDaddy's end. When they put the actual webformmailer.php file in my root directory—it stops working! When it's NOT actually there, it works!
So, I don't know if this is actually a PROPER solution...
Can anyone at Contact Form 7 give us a good fix for this problem we all seem to be having?? I really want to keep using the plug in, but it just isn't working..... Please help!
Hey Shopman - check out the thread over here:
not sure why this thread is marked as resolved. clearly still not working!
Reset the Resolution status to unresolved.
Hi all, I just wanted to add that I'm having the exact same problem on my client's site which is also on GoDaddy. I'm just starting to research the problem so I'll let you know if I learn anything new.
It is a lost cause. Personally, I suggest setting up another email account to receive emails from your form. Like a yahoo or gmail account. This is what I did...it worked and it made my life so much easier. I also decided to change the form I was using...I had the same problem with the new form....but the new email should fix it.
Thanks. It doesn't seem to matter what email the form is being sent to. I hope I don't have to setup a new forms plugin, but it looks like that is what's going to happen.
Shopman2 and jmldesign - you need to check out this thread:
You'll find in that thread that it doesn't matter what email address you have the form sending to. You'll also see that other Contact Form plugins don't work either.
This is a problem with the way that GoDaddy processes the forms - not a problem with the form plugin itself.
Thanks for the info. So what are people doing? Just leaving GoDaddy?
Some are leaving GoDaddy, some are just dealing with it.
There have been many attempts from all of us to contact GoDaddy, but no one has an elegant solution yet.
Personally, I was just using Contact Form 7 on a client's website as a temporary measure before introducing a full e-commerce solution for them. So we're just bearing with CF7 for a few weeks, before the online shopping replaces it.
It actually HAS been working for me since all of this. Since I installed the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin. But I'm terrified to just let 'er rip and hope it works!
Having the same issue here on my client's site, hosted by GoDaddy. Form says was sent successfully but nothing ever comes in. The email I am using is gmail, not through GoDaddy.
When I use the form mailer from my site, also hosted on GoDaddy, it works fine and I get the result within seconds.
Just curious, but does the hosting account being used need to have an email address associated with it in order for the form to work? I don't think my client has set up email yet, and that is the only difference I can see between her set up and mine.
We are both using GoDaddy economy, both using Linux, both using the most recent versions of WP and Contact Form 7 and 5.0 for our databases.
When I change the email on my working forms on my sites to a GoDaddy email, it works fine still- takes a few seconds to be forwarded into my other email account but no issues.
Not sure how relevant this is, as it is not related to GoDaddy (neither I nor my client use them) but I had a similar issue recently with completed CF7 forms not being received. It took me a while to figure it out so I thought I'd share it here in case it helps someone else.
I use CF7 on my own site and it has always worked perfectly - emails are received within seconds of the form being submitted. But I recently set up a CF7 form on a client's site (with a different host) and although it reported the form as being submitted OK, no email came through.
I have CF7 set up on my site such that form emails I receive look like they are sent by the person who filled in the form, i.e in the "From:" box in the "Mail" section of CF7 setup, I have the code relating to the email address entry box on the form. Turns out however that some hosts will only send form-generated emails from an email address on the same domain as the website the form is on. Thus if your website is at http://www.example.com, any form-generated emails from that site must be sent from e.g. email@example.com.
So, to get the form working for my client, we simply changed the "From:" box in the "Mail" section of CF7 setup to his own email address (the same as in the "To:" box) and added the code to include the form-filler's email address in the message body instead, and all works fine. Now when someone completes and submits the form, my client receives an email with all the details and it looks like it came from himself, but hey, at least it now works. In seconds, too.
Just got off the phone with GoDaddy and may have a fix.
I tried all the solutions listed in the threads concerning this, except the one involving using a GoDaddy email address associated with the account as my client hasn't set one up yet. None worked. Set up is the same as on my other site hosted with Godaddy that is working, so I called their tech support to ask for input.
The solution that seems to be working for now is to do the following:
Sign into GoDaddy. Go to Web Hosting > Lauch > Content > Form Mail > change address to match that used as destination for the form mail in your WordPress installation.
The test emails came through in a few minutes. Hopefully this solution will stick and will help someone out.
@boerbabe when you say destination for the form mail used in your WordPress installation do you mean the "This address is used for admin purposes, like new user notification" under the general settings, the inputed in the form mail on godaddy or the one used in the Contact 7 form to field?
By destination email I mean the email address where the emails are supposed to be going.
Unfortunately I was too hasty- this only fixes the problem if the sender's email is NOT gmail, hotmail, or yahoo.
See this thread for two fixes that actually work. link.
In House Web Solutions has one as do I that works with all emails. They had much better luck with their solution then I did, but both do get the messages through.
I had the same problem ( message sent feedback but no income email ). I was testing contact 7 locally. I changed my Email wordpress settings using a external SMTP server. It worked fine for me. Take a look at this tutorial: Using wordpress with external SMTP server
Okay, working with John at http://www.johncachero.com/ I believe we have found a solution that yields better results. It still adds to the from email address, but we are getting our test emails from a multitude of different email addresses (including yahoo, hotmail and gmail) within about 3 minutes.
Basically, in the portion of the form where you set up the email you will actually receive, just change it to something like this-
From: [your-name]<*[your-email]*>
The asterisks seem to make all the difference. No idea why but other fixes have not resulted in emails coming through as quickly on average.
I will still be leaving GoDaddy's hosting once my already purchased time is over.

The GOP's Shopping List
We'll never get back the feeling we got when we heard about Sarah Palin's wardrobe costs. But we can try.
It doesn't give quite the same frisson that the big reveal of Sarah Palin's wardrobe costs did, but the Huffington Post has ginned up a list of some other stuff Republicans have bought during the election, if it tickles your fancy. It includes baseball tickets, yacht rental, lunch for Karl, Starbucks, golf carts, car wash, art restoration, "plant material," chocolate elephants (milk, dark, and light), elephant wine glasses, and shrubs cut into the shape of elephants.
Whew. We're just glad that nobody at the RNC submitted a receipt for any feminine or adult-hygiene products. Because that would be embarrassing.

|Reviews for Number Six
| Rose of Dusk chapter 13 . 8/11/2014
WOW! This was like... Just... Wow!
The concept was very interesting! With Megs going insane and all...
It made me think of something really cool to think off!
| MegaFrost4 chapter 1 . 11/23/2013
From the killing of Minion, to the ghost, the tortures he went through, his escape...just everything about this story tore my heart to shreds. How tragic! How awful! I cried...literally tears whelled up in my eyes throughout this whole story. I loved every word! Wow! Incredible story! This makes me love Megamind even more than I already do!
| Vi-Violence chapter 13 . 12/31/2011
I feel sick, I hated it, but I give you kudo's for powerful writing.
| Nera789 chapter 3 . 12/22/2011
GAAAHHHH CG.. SO MUCH ANGST I COULD PUKE. Ah, this is incredible! Finally got around to actually learning about Six's past, and especially after Tumblr, it really sparked my interest. SO MUCH THIS. Just how it all is set up and plays out is fantastic! Honestly, I love the idea of him being more of a specimen, it gives him more of a feel of actually being an alien. I've watched the movie and involved myself with so much of it I can't help but not think of him as an alien anymore, he's become so...natural for a lack of a better word. I don't look at him and think of spaceships and abductions, basically. XD Even though I am an alien obsessed freak...it's hard for me to look at him that way. haha
But man, I love the way you've gone about this. It gives him such a different feel and I love it! My eyes have been glued to my computer screen, and if it weren't for it being 3:00 am and having to get up semi early tommorow...I would probably read this until I pass out. XD (And I'd have to say...the headcanon part of me as I was reading this wants Vycter to just show up all pissed like the angry vengeful father he is, surprise the hell out of all the scientists and take his son away from it all...because I know some of what's going to come and I know it's going to break my heart. D:)
Love this so much. :D!
| yuui888 chapter 9 . 12/16/2011
So Roxanne speaks with fish's, too, that's really cute :)
I love the fact that she begins to de-evil Megamind now already. And also his reason why he is attached for her.
Furthermore with this background of his, it is clear why he couldn't hurt Roxanne when she is at his mercy at kidnappings.
Everything fits with such a greatness, I'm really impressed of your writing skills.
| yuui888 chapter 6 . 12/16/2011
At first I didn't want to review until I hadn't read everything, but the way he takes revenge here for the crimes done on him remind me of V as Vendetta - and I love that because it's just another little connection of the comic-world. Did you do this on purpose or is it just a wonderful fitting coincidence?
The story is great so far! I can't wait to go on reading. :D
| dana chapter 13 . 12/8/2011
oh my god this was such an insanely good story. i feel like i just need to jump into the fanfiction world and hug megamind forever. GAH THIS IS JUST PERFECT OKAY
| Sean Mulligan chapter 11 . 6/1/2011
I wonder why Wayne Scott is different in this universe. Did his parents hear rumors about what the military had done with the other alien baby?
| Not-I chapter 13 . 5/6/2011
Well written and engaging... Ok that sounds stuffy... Great Story!
| RestlessMe chapter 13 . 3/31/2011
Interesting story. There were a few things I didn't like about it, but quite a lot I did. I really like the beginning, and his escape (or rather escape attempt) and the way the scientists acted. At first I didn't like the killing of Minion or his metal legs, but you made it work in an interesting and believably crazy way. Ditto his extra powers, I thought I hated them but they grew on me and really melded well with his character (though I didn't care for the weird unexplained interaction with the other dead aliens).
I also really didn't like his quick turn around to good so much, it didn't seem natural. Nor his instant fascination with Roxanne for no apparent reason, or her kissing him out of pity. At times it felt like I'd read this story before, because it had some cliche parts and dialog, but overall it was enjoyable and the ending fit well.
But I did love the set up, extreme hurt and angst always gets me, Megamind's inner workings for the most part were quite fun, the Doom Syndicate were funny and again fit well with the story, and the big reveal in the final chapters which could have been extremely awkward luckily wasn't. It did seem a tad overplayed though.
And I love that this was an actual story! Overall quite an enjoyable read, thank you.
| London Bai chapter 13 . 3/27/2011
I know I'm not the only one saying this, but this story is by far my most favorite and I've read quite a few like our other fellow FF authors.
The entire detail you've gone into to get the response from us, the readers, is purely amazing and unique and very original. At so many points, it felt as if I was reading a mixture of Batman, V for Vendetta, and your own blend of a marvelous plot. You make writers like myself pale in comparison to your amazing talent.
With all of this said, I congratulate you and your hard work. I do hope I see more of your work.
| Vivid Imaginest chapter 13 . 3/20/2011
This was an extremely heart wrenching and enticing story. I cried all the way through the end. How someone could treat Megamind that is horrible, and while the story didn't have a happy ending per say, I enjoyed it very much. This is an amazing story and I do hope the next one (I think you have a sequel up, yes?) isn't quite as sad. Thank you very much for this heartfilled story.
| nineteennintytwo chapter 13 . 3/18/2011
That was...such a sad story. You really had me crying with this one (and not many stories can do that to me, so great job!). I'm normally not a fan of stories where Megamind is taken by the government to be experimented on, but this is an AU story; the rules are a lot similar to our own as opposed to the kiddie-friendly ones in the actual film.
I would love to read more of this story :)
| WandaCarla chapter 13 . 3/15/2011
Awesome story! So sad! I loved it.
| WandaCarla chapter 2 . 3/14/2011
Omg I was nearly in tears! I can't believed they killed Minion! I hope megamind escapes b/c these scientists are pissing me off.

A help-wanted ad for women to join an all-female tourist police force is drawing flak from women's rights groups — it specifies that applicants be aged 18 to 26, 5-foot-5 with weight proportional to height, and in good physical and mental health.
The chief of police in Guerrero state, home to some of Mexico's most-popular vacation destinations, including Acapulco, would also prefer the "beautiful ones."
The ad, put out by the Mexican Pacific state of Guerrero, also considers knowledge of English a plus, CNN reported.
"The idea is to have a police force comprised of only women, preferably beautiful ones," said Ramon Almonte Borja, head of the state's public security secretariat said, CNN reported.
In addition, he said the tourist police would wear attractive uniforms to distinguish themselves.
"We are designing a gorgeous uniform that can distinguish us like the police in London, for example, so that Acapulco can have an additional visual attraction to what we already have," Almonte said.
The tourist police would not not be armed, and their function would be mostly to act as a guide for visitors; therefore, the force was looking for women without tattoos and piercings.
Blanca Rico, executive director of Semillas in Mexico City, described the position of her a women's rights group as "indignant."

"Once again women are put in the stereotype of being decorations," she reportedly said. "One would never imagine male police officers being selected for their looks."

The Drip That Drives You Crazy
Time, use and water that is overly acidic or mineral-laden can wear out the type of single-lever valves now common on sink faucets and shower controls. When the lever is pushed all the way down and the faucet continues to drip, the culprit is a worn valve-stem assembly. You can swap this worn part for a new one in about 20 minutes, and without any under-the-sink gymnastics.

Grandpa Green (Hardcover)
From the creator of the national bestseller "It's a Book" comes a timeless story of family history, legacy, and love.
Grandpa Green wasn't always a gardener. He was a farmboy and a kid with chickenpox and a soldier and, most of all, an artist. In this captivating new picture book, readers follow Grandpa Green's great-grandson into a garden he created, a fantastic world where memories are handed down in the fanciful shapes of topiary trees and imagination recreates things forgotten.
In his most enigmatic and beautiful work to date, Lane Smith explores aging, memory, and the bonds of family history and love; by turns touching and whimsical, it's a stunning picture book that parents and grandparents will be sharing with children for years to come.
"Grandpa Green" is a Publishers Weekly Best Children's Picture Books title for 2011.
One of "School Library Journal"'s Best Picture Books of 2011.
About the Author
Lane Smith has written and illustrated a bunch of stuff, most recently "There Is A Tribe of Kids", which is set to launch in Summer 2016. He is the author of the middle-grade novel "Return to Augie Hobble, " as well as author and illustrator of "Grandpa Green" which was a 2012 Caldecott Honor book and "It's a Book" which was on the "New York Times" bestseller list for over six months and has been translated into over twenty languages. His other works include the national bestsellers "Madam President" and "John, Paul, George & Ben". His titles with Jon Scieszka have included the Caldecott Honor winner "The Stinky Cheese Man"; "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs"; "Math Curse"; and "Science Verse". Lane's other high profile titles include "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! "by Dr. Seuss and Jack Prelutsky; "The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip" by George Saunders; "Big Plans" by Bob Shea; and "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl. In 1996, Lane served as Conceptual Designer on the Disney film version of "James and the Giant Peach".
His books have appeared on the "New York Times" Best Illustrated Book of the Year list four times. Lane and book designer Molly Leach live in rural Connecticut.
Praise For…
"In this affecting picture book, a boy recounts the life of his beloved great-grandfather…The author's illustrations, a blend of line drawings and sponge painting, have a classic feel, and make clever use of the topiary theme, rewarding close examination and repeated reading."--The New Yorker "Great-grandpa's memory may be going, but the past remains vibrantly alive in the playful topiaries that decorate his brilliantly green yard. Lush and magical." --People "An unassuming little masterpiece…the book's power lies in its rich, allusive artistry." --New York Times Book Review "It's a rare glimpse into Smith's softer side--as skillful as his more sly offerings, but crafted with honesty and heart." --Publishers Weekly Starred Review "Visually intriguing and emotionally resonant, this is a book to pore over and talk about. With each subsequent reading, it offers new layers of meaning and visual connections."–School Library Journal Starred Review
"Opening this book is like opening a gate to a secret garden, filled with the treasures of a life well lived. In his portrait of a boy who adores and honors his forgetful great-grandfather, Smith shows us that the things that are meaningful to the ones we love become part of our garden, too." —Shelf Awareness
"Though this book has lots of adult appeal, it will also be a wonderful bridge to exploring family history with the very young." —Kirkus Reviews
"Sketched with a finely lined fairy-tale wispiness and dominated by verdant green, the illustrations are not just creative but poignant." —Booklist

I'm trying to set up a blog that allows unlimited authors, whose posts would appear immediately (no pre-approval needed). Is there a way to do this through WordPress or another free platform? I saw that trc49492 posted a similar question last year on this forum, but the only response was from the moderator, who didn't recommend doing it.
Thank you so much.

for $500 - $700 (from the ZQK board). Curious to what anybody thinks how this will impact PPS for VFC & ZQK..
Citi is reiterating the buy on VF corp today and saying they will buy DC shoes. That the sale will not be greater than 200m. I don't see it being 700-800 million.Baja
a lot more chatter re. this over on the Quiksilver board (ZQK) - do we like this move?

I'm perhaps a bit unfamiliar with Las Vegas' habits - but I don't understand this one really.
They're waiting to be unwrapped when The Cosmopolitan opens on the 15th of December. How hard can it be to understand?
To Jack's point, the shrouding seen here is more often associated with the shutting down or desertion of estates and grand houses, not any kind of opening, beginning or renewal. It's cryptic, alright.

Oklahoma man clearing brush killed by tree branch
WOODALL, Okla. (AP) - The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a man is dead after he was struck by a tree branch as he cleared brush in a pasture in rural Cherokee County, near the community of Woodall.
The victim of the accident about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday was identified in an OHP news release as 73-year-old Billy Vincent of Tahlequah.
The release said Vincent was riding a tractor and bushhogging the pasture when he tried to use the tractor's front-end loader to push a large tree limb. Instead, the OHP said, the branch "recoiled and struck him in the head and neck."
The release said Vincent was taken to a hospital in Tahlequah, where he was pronounced dead on arrival from a head injury.

I recently tried to add an MP4 to my webpage and am having problems with the way it is able to be accessed. If you click on the other MP3/4's on my page, the media player will automatically start to play them. If you click on the new MP4 (the one entitled "The Open Circuit"), a dialogue box open asking which program I want to use to open the file. This also happens when I click on its corresponding "Score (PDF)" link, and the other tracks on that page do not have these issues.
Does this have anything to do with the new version of Firefox I am running? If not, could it have something to do with the new version of WordPress? Here is the page:

Going Beyond Just Facts To Show a Hollow Soul
Published: August 23, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
Among the film's inventions is the character of Archie (Clarence Williams 3d) one of the black prisoners who traditionally work as servants to the Alabama Governor. In the background, constantly glaring as a silent witness, Archie is usually less effective than the occasional clips of Dr. King and news film of riots. Yet there is a payoff when Archie, alone in the kitchen with the Governor, stands behind him with an ice pick and decides whether to kill him. The scene works as an expression of generations of rage and confusion about what action to take in the face of ingrained racism.
That scene was one of two that the Wallace family vehemently objected to in the script, even threatening to sue. The film now includes a strong statement at the end that Archie is invented. The other scene, in which Mr. Wallace, despairing and wheelchair-bound, tries to commit suicide, has been eliminated.
In the end, the film gives Mr. Wallace the benefit of the doubt about his political conversion, in a truly moving scene. After he apologizes in the church, saying, ''I have learned what suffering means,'' he is wheeled out while the congregation sings ''Amazing Grace'' (as they really did). Never have the words ''to save a wretch like me'' carried more meaning.
Though the film ends there, other programs update and complement it. ''George C. Wallace: The Politics of Race,'' a substantial installment in A&E's ''Biography'' series (Wednesday night at 8), includes historical film of those public moments and pays more attention to Mr. Wallace's impact on national politics.
And Spike Lee's powerful documentary about the 1963 church bombing, ''Four Little Girls'' (to be shown on HBO in February) shows the him as he appears today. Mr. Wallace, who will be 78 on Monday, is so frail that the film uses subtitles to make him understood. He calls in an embarrassed-looking black aide and says, ''A black man is my best friend, right here.'' Is he reassuring himself, his audience or both? Mr. Lee's documentary and the mini-series ''George Wallace'' leave that question compellingly open.
TNT, tomorrow night (Part 1) and Tuesday night (Part 2) at 8, 10 and midnight
Written by Paul Monash and Marshall Frady, based on the book ''Wallace,'' by Mr. Frady; Mark Carliner, executive producer; John Frankenheimer and Julian Krainin, producers; directed by Mr. Frankenheimer.
WITH: Gary Sinise (George Wallace), Mare Winningham (Lurleen Wallace), Angelina Jolie (Cornelia Wallace), Ron Perkins (Deputy Attorney General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach), Joe Don Baker (Big Jim Folsom), Clarence Williams 3d (Archie) and Terry Kinney (Billy Watson).

Donny McCaslin: The Way Through
McCaslin combines original compositions with the standard "I Should Care," Dizzy Gillespie's "What Remains," and Wayne Shorter's "Fee Fo Fi Fum." McCaslin is not afraid to take chances, and he is not afraid to mix styles and eras. A good example is his song "Break Tune" which, true to its title, breaks down the melody and explores the line between control and chaos. Here McCaslin uses a sampler, and the song is a successful merger of jazz and the new technology. The integration of acoustic and electronic instruments is still evolving, and McCaslin understands both well enough to take a positive step in harmonizing the two worlds.
McCaslin's other original compositions are equally notable. There's "San Lorenzo," which starts off with a slow, yearning sax and ends in ecstatic singing. The steel pan, vocals, and Latin rhythms combined with McCaslin's lyrical playing make this song a real gem. Other originals include "Skyward," which has a swinging melody and interesting chordal work, the meditative exploration "Shadowlands," and the title track "The Way Through," where McCaslin stretches out with pure tones and expressive lines. The recording ends with the wonderful "Flutter," a duet improvisation with McCaslin and altoist David Binney that channels Eric Dolphy and highlights McCaslin's imaginative playing.
McCaslin explores a lot of territory on The Way Through , and whether he's coloring inside the lines or disregarding them altogether, he always has something interesting to say. His assimilation of different styles and technologies is also compelling, and certainly worth watching. McCaslin is just shy of 40, which in the world of jazz is relatively young; it's inspiring to hear him emerge as a leader, and listeners should look forward to more.
