Warning Signs
Early Detection
Early detection is the key to beating breast cancer. If found early there are more treatment options and a better chance for survival.
Breast cancer screening includes mammograms, clinical breast exams, and in some cases, breast MRIs. American Cancer Society Screening Guidelines include:
Yearly mammograms starting at age 40 and continuing as long as a woman is in good health.
Clinical breast exam about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and older.
Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care provider. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s.
Women who are at high risk for breast cancer based on certain factors should get an MRI and a mammogram every year.
This includes women who:
Have a lifetime risk of breast cancer of about 20% to 25% or greater, according to risk assessment tools that are based mainly on family history (such as the Claus model - see below).
Have a known
gene mutation.
Have a first-degree relative (parent, brother, sister, or child) with a
gene mutation, and have not had genetic testing themselves.
Had radiation therapy to the chest when they were between the ages of 10 and 30 years.
Have Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, or have first-degree relatives with one of these syndromes.

ESPN Magazine asked me to look at whether there truly is such a thing as a clutch quarterback, i.e. a quarterback who always plays better in the fourth quarter of close games. This article is the (very short) result: After looking at both passer rating and DVOA, there doesn't seem to be any year-to-year correlation in the difference between a quarterback's performance in the clutch and his performance overall.

Hamilton hits out at 'complicated' F1 grid penalties
Lewis Hamilton thinks Formula One's grid penalties are far too technical for the average fan to understand and has suggested a simple solution is a return to V10 or V12 engines.
Lewis Hamilton thinks Formula One's grid penalties are far too technical for the average fan to understand and has suggested a simple solution is a return to V10 or V12 engines.
Coffee with the champions: It should be a very interesting race for Mercedes, with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton bookending the grid. Much will depend on tyre strategy but both drivers are in good shape in that regard, with Nico Rosberg set to start from pole on the soft compound and Lewis Hamilton with three sets of new softs (the best compound for these high temperatures) and a new set of mediums at his disposal.
There's a real buzz at the entry to the circuit. Hamilton's grid penalty has not deterred English fans but no doubting who the main attraction is this weekend - Max Verstappen. Every third fan in Red Bull or orange colours.
Nico Rosberg claimed what had looked set to be a routine pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix, edging out Max Verstappen by 0.15s in the absence of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Daniel Ricciardo refused to be too downbeat about qualifying fifth in Belgium after a strategy gamble narrowly paid off in Q2.

Mercedes has confirmed it is running an upgraded power unit at the Belgian Grand Prix after spending five engine tokens coming into the weekend.
Daniel Ricciardo says visibility through Eau Rouge was "not too bad" after experiencing his first taste of the Halo cockpit protection device during Friday practice.
Sebastian Vettel said Ferrari has to improve overnight after declaring himself "not entirely happy" with where the car was after opening practice in Belgium.
Max Verstappen says there is more to come from Red Bull this weekend despite the team topping the timesheets during Friday practice.
Lewis Hamilton's grid penalty is growing by the session after a fresh power unit was fitted for FP2. He is now on his seventh MGU-H and seventh turbocharger, adding a further 15 places to his grid penalty, which now stands at 30. In theory, Mercedes could change even more components ahead of FP3, increasing the size of the penalty, but it's safe to say Hamilton will be starting from the back of the grid on Sunday.

Guy who walks into a bar and notices a man 12 inches tall playing the piano. He asks what it is all about and the barman tells him he'll tell him later.
So he asks the barman for a drink and the barman says, 'Before you get your drink you get to rub the magic beer bottle and make a wish.'
'OK,' says the guy.
He goes to the bottle and rubs it and, boom, out comes a genie, who says, 'You have one wish.'
The man thinks about it and then wishes for a million bucks. A cloud of smoke fills the room and when the smoke clears there are a million ducks crowding the bar.
He tells the barman, 'Hey, I didn't want a million ducks.'
The barman replies, 'You think I wanted a 12-inch pianist?'

A bearded Arab enters a taxi..........Once he is seated, he asks the cab driver to turn off the radio because he must not hear music as decreed by his religion, commenting that, in the time of the Prophet, there was no music, especially Western music which is music of the infidel's and certainly no radio ........
So the cab driver politely switches off the radio, stops the cab and opens the back door. The Arab angrily asks him: "What are you doing, man?"
The cabby answers: "In the time of the Prophet there were no taxis. So get the fuck out and wait for a camel."

A good looking young man walked into a famous talent agent's office in Hollywood and the talent agent said to him, "what can I do for you young man ?" The young man said, "I want to be a movie star and I want you to represent me." Tall, handsome, charming and debonairre with experience in comedy clubs and on and off Broadway, he seemed to have all the right credentials. The agent put him through a series of auditions and he was great, he could sing, dance, do comedy routines and act. The agent asked, "What's your name ?" The young fellow said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian." The agent said, "WHAT ?" The young fellow said, "Penis van Lesbian" The agent said, "Young man, I hate to tell you this, but in order to get into Hollywood and become a successful actor, you are going to have to change your name." The young man said, "I will NOT change my name ! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, a regal name in Europe. I will not disrespect my father, grandfather, great grandfather and family by changing my name. Not ever." The agent said, "Young man, I'm trying to help you, I have worked in Hollywood for close to 40 years... and you will NEVER go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian ! I'm telling you, you will HAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to represent you." The young man said defiantlly, "So be it! I guess we will not do business together and you won't be my agent," and he stormed out of the agent's office. Five years later ...... The talent agent is sitting at his desk and he receives an envelope, marked, "Personal and Confidential". He opens the envelope. Inside the envelope is a letter and a check made out to him for $50,000. The agent is absolutely awe-struck, who would possibly send him a check for $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed... Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood, you told me that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to change my name. Young, stubborn and determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian and I just couldn't accept your advice. After I left your office, I thought about what you said. After much reflection, I decided that you were right. I had to change my name. But, I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with another agent. Had I not listened to you, I would never have made it without changing my name, so the enclosed check for $ 50,000 is a token of my appreciation. Thank you for your sage advice. Sincerely, Dick van Dyke

A young cowboy, sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day, had been the fastest gun in the West. The young cowboy took a place next to the ol'-timer, bought him a drink and told him of his ambition to be a great shot... "Could you give me some tips?" he asked. The ol'-timer said, "Well, for one thing, you're wearing your gun too high - tie the holster a little lower down on your leg." "Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the cowboy. "Sure will," replied the ol' man. The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his .44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player. "That's terrific!" said the cowboy. "Got any more tips?" "Yep," said the ol'-timer. "Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits it - that'll give you a smoother draw." "Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young cowboy. "You bet it will," said the ol'-timer. The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cuff link off the piano player. "Wow!" exclaimed the cowboy. "I'm learnin' somethin' here. Got any more tips?" he asked again. The ol'-timer pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it." The young shooter smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun. "No," said the ol'-timer, "I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and all." "Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young cowboy. "No." said the ol'-timer, "But when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he's gonna shove that gun up your ass, and it won't hurt near as much."

One of my favorites. Sorry if this was already posted.
A man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight. While en route home he asks the cabby if he would be a witness. The man suspects his wife is having an affair and he wants to catch her in the act. For $100, the cabby agrees to act as a witness. Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom. The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife in bed with another man! The husband puts a gun to the naked man's head. The wife shouts, 'Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited money. HE paid for the Corvette I gave you. HE paid for our new cabin cruiser. HE paid for your season Pittsburgh Steelers tickets. HE paid for our house at the lake. HE paid for our country club membership, and HE even pays the monthly dues!' Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun. He looks over at the cabby and says, 'What would you do? The cabby replies, 'I'd cover his ass with that blanket before he catches cold.

Polish Loan
A Polish guy walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Poland on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Polish guy handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Polish guy produced the title and everything checked out.
The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.
Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the "dumb" Polack for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. Then the employee of the bank drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Polish guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07.
The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?'
The Polish guy replied: Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?'

The Afghan Quarterback: The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night while watching FOX he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan .. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 3rd story window 50 yards away. KABOOM! He threw another hand-grenade 45 yards away, right into a chimney. KA-BLOOEY! Then he threw another at a passing car going 60 mph. BULLS-EYE! "I've got to get this guy!" coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!" So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl. The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother. "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!" "I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman says. "You are not my son!" "I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans." "No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says: "I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit!"

Benjamin Walker Premieres 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' in New York
After being screened at the USS Abraham Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" held its premiere in New York on Monday night, June 18. Taking place at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square, the special screening event was supported by the film's leading cast members, including Benjamin Walker and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Walker who plays Abe in the thriller looked sleek in a traditional two-piece black suit, while Winstead opted to go with a classy look. Letting loose her long brown hair, the Mary Todd Lincoln depicter kept it conservative in a long-sleeved golden dress that she paired with nude-colored platform heels.
Other cast members spotted on the red carpet were Anthony Mackie and Rufus Sewell. Mackie stole the attention with his light blue tux that he paired with matching pants and black leather shoes, while Sewell, who donned a black suit, brought along a female companion who donned a white midi dress.
Producer Tim Burton was also seen attending the event. Rocking an all-black ensemble, the "Dark Shadows" helmer arrived solo at the special screening. Erin Wasson, Robin McLeavy, Alex Lombard and rock band Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown were among the celebrity guests during the night.
In "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter", Abe is not only described as an iconic politician, but also as a man who dedicates his life to destroy the vampires with his trusty axe after his mother was killed by those vampires. The fabled figure continues to hunt the immortal beings all the way through his presidency.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, the mashup history movie will make its way out onto theaters across the U.S. on June 22.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Organizers of The Big Bird Bash, an independent music festival, announced Friday that the event will be rechristened "The Macon Music Festival" in 2014. This year, the festival, which highlights regional musical acts, will feature seven bands, art vendors, food vendors, games and activities.
"We have known for some time that Macon really needs a music festival to support its extensive musical heritage and support the growing underground music scene," says Kristen O' Neal, event organizer.
The Drive-By Truckers will headline this year's festival with Drivin' N Cryin', Moon Taxi, Modern Skirts, Back City Woods, Gringo Grande and the Dirty Sound Professors. A portion of the event proceeds will go to benefit the Cox Capitol Theatre, The Allman Brothers Museum at the Big House and Macon-Bibb Co. Parks and Recreation.

When the Chashmonaim recaptured the Temple many years ago, they were horrified to discover that the Altar had been used for pagan worship. As a result, they disassembled the entire Altar and ramp and built them anew. Through a similar siyata dishmaya (although on a smaller scale - literally and figuratively) I was able to refurbish and add to my LEGO® model of the Altar just in time for Chanukah.

Other Options for Old Knives in the Temple
When Temple property becomes unfit for use there are a number of things which could be done with it. The treasurers could repair the item and put it back in service, recycle the item and use it for some other sacred purpose, or redeem the item by selling it and returning the profits to the Temple treasury. I would like to examine whether any of these options applied to old slaughtering knives of the Kohanim.

Beis Hamikdash Topics in French Classroom
In the yeshivah high school Merkaz Hatorah in Le Raincy, France, Rabbi Yehouda Gabison was teaching his class maseches Tamid at the end of the school year. He came across this blog and was able to incorporate some of the images into his lesson plan. For more information about the yeshivah please visit the Merkaz Hatorah website.

Timeline of the Tamid
I am preparing a new presentation for this summer called Timeline of the Tamid which will be a walkthrough of the entire morning Tamid service. One of the things I hope to clarify is the schedule of when all these events took place — the time of day and how long they took. I think most people will be surprised to learn just how early in the morning the Tamid was offered each day!
There are only a handful of places in the Mishnah where actual times are referenced, and so the entire timeline is based upon establishing those times and then filling in the others as realistically as possible. These will be discussed in more detail below, but the two which become the most important are the first and last. We know that the day started when the Memuneh (a Temple official) arrived to conduct the first lottery, and the Mishnah says that he arrived around dawn (72 minutes before sunrise). We also know that the Kohanim recited Shema (one of the later steps in the Tamid service) earlier than the proper time, and the proper time is just before sunrise. This means that the bulk of the Tamid service — including the lamb's slaughter and blood applications — was completed in about an hour and took place before sunrise.

Showing the Table to the Masses
The Gemara on Menachos 96b states that on the three Festivals the Kohanim would raise the Golden Table of the Showbread for the people [gathered in the Courtyard] to see that the bread was as fresh as the day it was baked. This Gemara assumes that the bread could not be seen without the Table being raised and I was curious what the sight line would have looked like from the Israelites' Courtyard where the public would be gathered.

The Chamber of the Lambs
The southwestern chamber of the Hall of the Fire was known as the Chamber of the Lambs. This room was where the Kohanim maintained a supply of lambs — inspected and found free of blemishes — which would be used for the daily Tamid-offerings. Since the lambs had to be inspected on each of the four days prior to their slaughter, and two lambs were offered each day, how many lambs were kept in the Chamber of the Lambs?

We go in and they only have a few receivers left and one is in the box, I ask if we can open it and the salesman says no, my question then was how would we know anything about the receiver without doing this. I told him we needed one with surround sound and the center speaker. He assured me this one would work, an Onkyo TX8555. We thought the price was good and naive people we are bought it.
We got it home and found out the lie the salesman told us. This was not surround sound and had no outlet for a center speaker. This is where we start finding more of the deception. I look this receiver on the internet (something we should have done at the start) and find Circuit City also marked this up to mark it down. They have the highest price on this of anyone and the sale price is not even close to being the lowest. I call the store..they won't even talk to me, the I start the Circuit City 800 number and of course get someone who knows no English other than the script they have been taught to read. These people have no respect for the customer! I am told that I have no recourse since Circuit City doesn't own the "Going Out of Business" sales, the liquidator owns them. I thought this was illeagal, but I guess not. I also thought the mark up to mark down was illegal.
Buyer Beware!!! Let's hope this bankruptcy will take all the stores out or make them become a more reputable company.

It's unfortunate that you didn't READ the box. This unit is clearly marked as a 2 channel high fedelity receiver (not a surround sound amplifier.)
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Friday, December 12, 2008POSTED: Friday, December 12, 2008
When Tower Records declared bankruptcy, the store was taken over by liquidators. The same thing happened when the local OfficeMax shut down as well as a couple of furniture stores. I have no doubt that the local Mervyn's has been taken over by liquidators.
When a liquidator takes over, they want to maximize their revenue like any other business. Markups in retail happen, go take a look at the jewelry industry and their 'sales'.
Not really a ripoff, just not a particularly good deal for the buyer.

Welcome! We are group of indivuals who believe that
"A Healthy Planet Is An Option"
"There are promising possibilities for creating a world in which no one's rights are violated and every person has the opportunity to thrive. Rather than trying to improve the status quo, there is a way that integrates traditional, progressive, conservative and libertarian viewpoints while reconnecting divisions that have long kept us separated."
If you feel called to action to help to create a healthy and safe planet now and for the future then you have come to a meetup group where you can make a difference! We support a global movement called the "THRIVE MOVEMENT" and have come together to take action on its behalf and to thrive. A Must See Video! www.thrivemovement.com
Please Join Sustainable Solutions In Our First Grass Roots Agenda:
Mandatory Labeling of GMO's In Colorado:
"We Have a Right To Know!"
Sustainable Solutions group is currently working on organizing an effort for mandatory labeling of GMO products in the State of Colorado. View the "Upcoming Meetups" for meeting location and details.
What is a GMO?
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants or animals created through the process of genetic engineering. This experiemental technology forces DNA from one species into a different species. The resulting GMOs are unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or traditional breeding.
Almost all GMOs are engineered to withstand application of herbicied and/or to produce and insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers' and consumers' rights.
Please come join the effort and share with others!
Visit https://www.facebook.com/ColoradoRightToKnow and share with others.

Our Message:
We believe that by bringing awareness to consumers of the existence of GMO's in our foods, we will all have knowledge to make informed choices on what foods we wish to purchase. It is a basic right to want to know what is in the foods/water sources that we are consuming.
We are asking that foods be labeled so that we are made aware of the possibility of a GMO's being present in the food.
Our campaign is sticking to the main key speaking point of "we have a right to know what is in our foods".

Bridewell and his team made some big changes to his bike as he wanted to be competitive and able to battle for the podium instead of finishing fourth and fifth all the time. But the changes obviously worked as after a great start from the front row the Devizes swearbox was able to keep up with the Samsung Honda of Alex Lowes and the Tyco Suzuki of Josh Brookes. The Aussie rider did crash out paving the way for Bridewell to take second.
The rider has only been on the Kawasaki since the last round at Oulton and has bonded well with his team, and after weeks of nearly getting a rostrum finish he is just relived to finally get a podium.
"It is a massive achievement for me and the team to finally get the thing on the podium. From doom and gloom to breaking down and watching from the side of the track to sitting on the podium with hundreds of people shouting your name, it has just been an amazing day," said Bridewell, speaking to bikesportnews.com from the circuit.
"We changed some oil heights and the front forks and rear shocks and they were some good changes. But I want to say a massive thanks to the Italian crew and we have made a big step forward."

Just did a new fresh install and everything worked fine as usual.
Then went to change permalinks to my default:
Which I do ALL the time.
As soon as I clicked Save Options, the screen went into "no CSS" mode. That is: I got the Permalinks Options page, but with generic styling, none of the WP Dashboard look.
Then went to the blog and got a 500 error.
So I knew that the .htaccess file was probably the problem. Permissions? Fine. WP was able to write the file with no problem.
So I uploaded the default .htaccess file and reloaded. Still 500 error.
So I uploaded a BLANK .htaccess file. Blog homepage fine but got 404 errors for all other pages (which had apparently correct urls: /postname/. Dashboard fine. Clicked on Permalinks and immediately went back to the NO CSS mode. And the blog no longer worked.
I've searched the Forum as fully as I can.
a. How to fix this?
b. Why is permalink-options.php re-writing .htaccess when I open page? I'd expect it to re-write it when I click "save options".
SQL for options table:
INSERT INTO 'chichi_options' VALUES (31, 0, 'permalink_structure', '/%postname%/', 'yes');
Thanks in advance!

Why take me along to E3? Well, as exciting as the event can be, sometimes a bit of hyperbole is in order. Below is a not-so-tiny sample of what I bring to the table.
Reggie Fils-Amie Revealed To Be Dracula
The majority of the Nintendo press conference went as you'd expect--a complete lack of price drops, lots of focus on the casual market, and a few vain attempts to convince the "hardcore" that they still cared. No, the real surprise didn't come until the very end of the press conference, when, as Reggie bellowed his closing comments, a voice from the crowd interrupted him with a yell of "Stop!"
As you might imagine, everyone's heads started craning and darting around to find the source of this unseemly interruption. After a few moments everyone managed to pick out the offender and a sea of pale, greasy faces clearly illuminated a man, about six feet tall or so, staring hard at Reggie with the weathered pommel of a whip held loosely in one hand.
Needless to say, everyone there knew what was up almost immediately. Some descendent of the now-famous Belmont clan had tracked down Dracula, who, as it turned out, was Reggie Fils-Amie. I suppose this was a pretty huge shock to most everyone, but, I've gotta say, I'd been a little suspicious ever since I'd spied Reggie sucking at a dead dog's throat after GDC a few years back. I'd chalked it up to him being on some weird diet at the time...oh well, live and learn, as they say.
Anyways, things only got more awesome from there. The Belmont guy--sorry, there was no time to get a first name--vaulted a solid fifty feet to the stage and started wailing on Reggie with his whip. Now, I'd always thought Reggie would do pretty well in a fight, being a big guy and all, but this "battle" was completely one-sided. Reggie just kept doing the same four or five moves, and, after a bit of trial-and-error, Belmont totally had his number, even after Reggie went all bat-demon-monster on him. The fight lasted about ten minutes and was a complete joy to watch, even if it did get a bit repetitive in the end. Reggie was whipped into a number of fleshy chunks (which actually flew out of some windows, which was odd) and Belmont left the auditorium without speaking to anyone.
So, all in all, the Nintendo press conference was great--I honestly don't know how the Sony and Microsoft events are going to compete. However, the whole affair has left Nintendo with some rather significant problems. Will they be able the gather up Reggie's various parts and resurrect him before the next console cycle? If not, we could see the market share shift in Sony's or Microsoft's direction in coming years. I'm sure Nintendo has some huge brains on staff, but you just can't underestimate the value of having the immortal Prince of Darkness on the payroll.

Twenty Eleven theme ... are you guys joking?
Are we into creating blogs or venerating (Matts?) photos?
Have any of you tried looking at the theme in a way most folks now look at the internet ...
WTF is it with the H-U-G-E pointless, information and content free S-P-A-C-E ... W-H-I-T-E-S-P-A-C-E ... S-P-A-C-E that eats up the entire first screen of most browsers!?!
I mean, I am sure it looked all wonderfully "kewl" and "Zen" and Apple-like on a designer's 27" iMac during the corporate showcasing ........ but that's not the way the world sees the internet folks.
OK, flame me down for nothing being amongst the faithful and tell me I can always write my own theme (I will ... I will ... I will HAVE to ... We all will ...) but
- ... the Emperor has got no clothes on.
Guys, it's about time the core team stepped out the incubator and took a look at what the rest of the world is doing with WordPress.
Yah ... and as usual ... no one has upgrade the posting options at WordPress.org to include 3.2 yet.

Ford finishes 2013 strong, but faces a tough yearBy DEE-ANN DURBIN
the associated press | January 29,2014DEARBORN, Mich. Ford Motor Co. enjoyed one of the best years in its history in 2013, but the celebration wont last long.
The Dearborn-based automaker posted a pretax profit of $8.56 billion the second-highest in the past decade and worldwide sales were up 12 percent to 6.3 million cars and trucks. That was a faster pace than Toyota, the industry leader, whose sales rose 2 percent to 9.98 million.
But Ford has already warned of leaner results this year as it launches a record 23 vehicles and builds seven plants around the world. Its anticipating 13 weeks of expensive down time up from five in 2013 at its two U.S. pickup truck plants to prepare for the launch of a new aluminum-clad F-150. And instability in South America and price competition in the U.S. are constant threats.
Ford expects pretax profit of between $7 billion and $8 billion, and says its operating margin and cash flow will also fall because of the vehicle-introduction costs. Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks said capital expenditures will total $7.5 billion this year and in the next two to three years, up from $6.6 billion in 2013 and more than twice what it spent four years ago.
Fords fourth-quarter net income totaled $3 billion, or 74 cents per share. Excluding a big tax gain, net income was 31 cents per share, 4 cents better than analyst estimates, according to FactSet.
Investors initially reacted favorably to the news. Fords stock rose 2 percent in morning trading, but was flat at $15.71 by late afternoon.
Buckingham Research analyst Joseph Amaturo urged investors to sell Ford stock and set a $12 one-year price target. He noted that Fords fourth-quarter pretax earnings fell 24 percent even though the company reported a 3.5 percent revenue increase. He also estimated that the downtime at Fords truck plants this year could cut North American pretax profits by $800 million.
But others told investors to stick it out.
We think Ford will reap benefits from the truck transition and growth in Asia Pacific in 2015, said Standard and Poors Capital IQ analyst Efraim Levy, who has a Buy rating on the stock.
Here are Fords results by region:
North America: Ford posted a record pretax profit of $8.8 billion in North America, thanks to big demand for pickup trucks as the economy improved. Ford sales in the U.S. rose 11.7 percent, the only automaker with a double-digit gain. Profit-sharing payments to Fords 47,000 U.S. hourly workers will be about $8,800, a record.
Asia Pacific and Africa: Ford earned a record $415 million in Asia and Africa last year. Its sales jumped 49 percent to more than 935,000 in China, where it introduced new vehicles like the EcoSport and Kuga SUVs.
Europe: Ford narrowed its losses in Europe to $1.6 billion. Sales and revenue were up slightly in the struggling region, but the company incurred $856 million in charges for two plant closures.
South America: Ford swung to a $34 million loss as it halted production in Brazil to prepare for new products and slowed production in Venezuela because of a shortage of hard currency.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW ORLEANS The federal governments annual sale of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico...

Its been two weeks since I got back from my 5 day trip to Bali. It's crazy how fast time flies without us being conscious of it. I can still remember the 6th grade version of me, with the hideous haircut and braces scrolling through my facebook home feed looking through pictures of 10th graders of that moment having their stay at Bali and getting jealous. Fast forward and I was counting down the weeks to that trip as a 10th grader myself, then I'm busy packing the day before and just like that, its all over.
The whole trip consisted of long bus trips, sunnies, swimming in our hotel's tiny pool, pretty sunsets, making fun of the tour guide (not in a mean way), water slides, hunting for cute surfer guys, the ocean and a hell lot of sunscreen. Even though I came back probably 3 shades darker than I naturally am, I'd kill to go back and clear my mind away from this hell in disguise we call 'school'. Being thrusted with piles of test papers, extended late hours of more studying, waking up at deadly hours feeling half dead, and constantly being reminded of our upcoming exams followed by a sarcastic 'but its your problem if you get a low mark and don't want a future' remark. Really, we should be given a week break to let reality slowly sink in rather than this dramatic transition from the blissful trip.
This is a picture diary of the whole trip in pictures and there are ALOT of them, mind you. I don't know why I'm posting so much of them cause who actually enjoys looking at pictures of someone having fun? But since this blog is basically a ghost town, here you go:
Day 1
It just hit me that this is probably the last trip I'll ever have with this bunch of people and I've been with some of them tracing all the way back to Kindegarten-1.
Look at us, having leis around our neck like a balinese, getting all prepped for the days to come
Day 2
If you thought this blown-up boat offered us a relaxing stroll along the ocean then you're wrong because me and Oriana literally almost died several times. Let go of the flimsy plastic handle for one second and you'll be flying off into the waters while the boat speeds off leaving you behind. This ride will you make you looking like you just survived a tornado when all you did was sit and scream.
Dramatic recounts of the traumatising ride and thanking God on the fact that we're still alive.
Paid 50k for a terrible tattoo that I didn't even like
Of course I'd be looking at my phone at times like this
Day 3
Probably the worst place we went, some conservation area entirely for mangroves. We spent about an hour in a depressing room trying to stay awake listening to the man blabber on about these plants that apparently grow on coastlines, but he's a really nice guy fortunately
Looks better than it taste. There were still bits of hair stuck in the chicken which really affected my appetite to be honest
These birds have the prettiest colours in them.
Day 4 ( I don't think Git-Git Waterfall happened on the 4th day but I can't remember exactly what happened on which days so I'm basing it on the different outfits I'm wearing. Anyway, that doesn't really matter)
Just had to include this picture of Mr Rommil doing the typical 'arms outstretched pretending to push walls' tourist pose
Me focused on my phone (again)
"Guys ,everyone pretend to look at the water, it makes a cool photo."
Me and Winny's attempt to be all tumblr-ish
Day 5
This was a pretty dramatic day for me because it was 4 hours straight of extreme water slides. I have a strong fear for heights and a mild one for water slides so I have to give myself credit for actually facing them. Let's just say the end of the day, I was left with a very sore throat
Cynthiani braided my hair+ Bryan getting his hair done next
It was also Lin's birthday that day
Day 6
Airports and long plane rides
Leaving the calming ocean breeze and striking orange sunset for more mental torture that awaits us at home.

Let's say I install a theme today and launch a site using the current WordPress 3.2. Can I use that theme indefinitely? In other words, when WordPress goes to version 3.3, or version 4, or version 10...will the theme always work? Will WordPress ever change core functionality so much so that a 1 or 2 or 3 or 7 year-old theme won't work?
I am considering switching a successful site from joomla to wp, and want to make sure that years down the road I won't update the version of WP and the whole site breaks.
Thanks for any info.

Product Description
Digit is a game with sticks and cards for 2 to 4 players, in 4 versions. Depending on the version being played, the winner is the player who puts down either all his cards, or more cards than his opponents.
Each player is dealt five cards face down. One card is taken from the remaining deck and laid out on the table as a pattern for the sticks. If a player can make the pattern of the sticks match the pattern on one of his cards, by moving only one of the sticks to a new position, he may put that card down on the table.
If the player cannot put a card down, he must take a new one from the deck.
Try your luck with Digit!
