I've been trying to get a subscription form into a sidebar widget that will pass markup validation. I tried all number of different code pasted into a text widget before discovering the plugin.
I just installed the mailchimp plugin and it still gives me validations errors.
"document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "ins", "del", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "p", "div", "address", "fieldset" start-tag"
etc. etc. etc.
Isn't there a way to put a subscription form in a sidebar that will pass mark up validation? Does it matter? Am I just being anal?
Your council is greatly appreciated.

text: Water Quality The Changing Landscape of the Prairie Pothole Region By Clay Masters • Aug 12, 2016 Clay Masters / IPR There's been a lot of talk in Iowa about water quality. From failed attempts by the legislature and the governor to come up with new funding, to the state's largest water utility suing three rural boards of supervisors in northwest Iowa. That area of the state is part of a region called the "prairie pothole". It stretches from Canada, down through the Dakotas, northern Montana and western Minnesota as well. In North Dakota, much of this habitat is still intact and conservationists are concerned about the health implications of a landscape looking more like Iowa. Planting Perennial Grasses on Cropland Could Reduce Gulf's 'Dead Zone' By Amy Mayer • Jul 14, 2016 Rick Fredericksen/IPR file photo A new study supports planting perennial grasses on current cropland as a way to reduce nutrient loss from farm fields. Iowa's Drinking Water: Could Flint Happen Here? By Emily Woodbury & Ben Kieffer • Jun 17, 2016 Majicdolphin / Flickr What happened in Flint, Michigan is only one of several high profile incidents of public health crises arising from drinking water contamination. In fact, according to Siddhartha Roy, who was part of the team that discovered high lead levels in Flint, "There are millions of lead pipes," and "we have them in virtually every city in the U.S." Boaters Beware: Iowa DNR Expects Another Record Year of Toxic, Blue Green Algae Blooms By Lindsey Moon & Ben Kieffer • Jun 7, 2016 Rob McLennan / Flickr The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is expecting another summer boating season full of toxic, blue green algae blooms. There were a record number of beach closures in 2015 in Iowa, and the DNR is expecting this year to be the same or worse. The blooms release microcystin, which is a toxin released by cyanobacteria. The toxin can kill pets and cause rashes and flu like symptoms in humans. As the weather heats up this week, Mary Skopec, beach monitoring coordinator for the Iowa DNR, says that we'll likely start to see algal blooms that lead to beach closures. Dollars Flow into Water Quality Programs in Iowa, but Their Effectiveness is Still Unclear By Clay Masters • May 20, 2016 Clay Masters/IPR This week IPR News is taking a look at water quality in the state. Iowa Lawmakers, farmers and environmentalists continue to debate the best way to curb water quality issues, following an unsuccessful attempt to fund more projects this legislative session. Iowa Water Quality Funding Not Easy to Track By Clay Masters • May 19, 2016 Clay Masters / IPR This week IPR News is taking a look at water quality in the state. A state cost share program designed to help Iowa farmers install nutrient reduction practices on their farm is entering its fourth year. Lawmakers and the governor struggled this legislative session to come up with a way to spend more money on water quality in the state. In the last three years, the state has awarded $12 million on 45 different projects. Paying The Price for Clean Water in Des Moines By Clay Masters • May 18, 2016 Clay Masters / IPR This week IPR News is taking a look at water quality in the state. Branstad, Gronstal Exchange Barbs over Water Quality By Joyce Russell • May 2, 2016 Joyce Russell/IPR Governor Branstad and the top Democrat in the Iowa Senate exchanged harsh words Monday over the legislature's failure to approve a plan for water quality improvements before adjourning last week. Governor Branstad's proposal to tap school infrastructure dollars to raise billions of dollars for water quality fell flat. On a bipartisan vote, the House passed a bill to divert money from other state programs but the bill was not debated in the Senate. Branstad says Majority Leader Mike Gronstal wasn't serious about doing something about water quality this year. House GOP Targets Des Moines Water Works; Democrats Claim Retaliation for Lawsuit By Joyce Russell • Apr 26, 2016 Des Moines Water Works Blog The Des Moines Water Works lawsuit against three northwest Iowa counties over nitrates in the water sparked debate in the Iowa House today. A rural lawmaker wants to expand representation on the Water Works Board of Trustees. He says that's in part because of the lawsuit alleging drainage districts in Sac, Calhoun, and Buena Vista counties are responsible for high nitrate levels in the Raccoon River. Rep. Jared Klein (R-Keota) wants urban and rural areas surrounding Des Moines to have a seat at the table if the Water Works raises its rates. The Efficacy of Earth Day By Katherine Perkins • Apr 22, 2016 Ocean Biology Processing Group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center / Flickr, Creative Commons First established in 1970, Earth Day is celebrated worldwide on April 22nd every year to celebrate and support the protection of the environment. Has it worked? Ralph Rosenberg, Executive Director of the Iowa Environmental Council, says Earth Day has evolved from raising awareness, to sparking action, to returning results. "There's an urgency now," says Rosenberg. "People have seen some progress in 46 years, but we do need to see awareness and action year-round." Hopes Dim for Water Quality Bill By Joyce Russell • Apr 18, 2016 John Pemble/IPR After high hopes for action at the statehouse this year on water quality, it appears that lawmakers will soon be adjourning without reaching consensus on how to pay for the cleanup of Iowa rivers and streams. So far the Republican House and Democratic Senate have not been able to agree on a funding plan for water quality improvements. The governor, the House, and the Senate each had competing funding mechanisms for cleaning up the water. Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal (D-Council Bluffs) says the three interested parties are like ships passing in the night. Des Moines Schools To Test Water For Lead By Clay Masters • Apr 13, 2016 Peter Dutton/Flickr Iowa's largest public school district is testing its water for lead contamination. There are no state requirements for schools to routinely test their water supplies, but following reports of high levels of lead in school drinking water supplies around the country, Des Moines Public Schools decided they'd test all of their school buildings. Phil Roeder with the district says the average age of its schools is 65 years. He says all of the buildings have been renovated at some point. Water Quality Bill Clears House; Democrats Object By Joyce Russell • Apr 12, 2016 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources/flickr A bill to appropriate historic levels of funding for water quality passed the Iowa House last night by a vote of 65 to 33. Democrats argued it may not be enough to keep the federal government from taking over enforcement of clean water in the state. The bill was approved after six hours of private meetings and two hours of public debate. Water Quality Proposal Would Include Data, Accountability By Joyce Russell • Apr 5, 2016 Joyce Russell/IPR The Iowa House continues working on legislation to fund water quality improvements at what some are calling historic levels. The House bill would appropriate $750 million over the next 13 years, what Governor Branstad calls a good start. Nitrogen levels in the Raccoon River have prompted a lawsuit from the Des Moines Water Works. Mike Delaney with the Raccoon River Watershed Association and the Sierra Club says the public needs to know how much nitrogen is in their watersheds. GOP Water Quality Plan Called "Too Little, Too Late" By Joyce Russell • Apr 5, 2016 Reji/flickr Republicans in the Iowa House Monday added more money to their water quality initiative, proposing to spend nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars over the next 13 years. But experts estimate that meeting goals for nitrates in the water will cost as much as five-and-a-half billion dollars. "We have a severe water quality issue in the state of Iowa," said Rep. Kirsten Running-Marquardt (D-Cedar Rapids). "Especially with nitrates." Former Lawmaker Says Water Bottles Could Help Fund Water Quality By Dean Borg • Apr 1, 2016 Dean Borg/IPR As Iowa legislators search the state's budget for money to fund water quality projects, an Iowa environmentalist believes it may be on grocery store shelves. Ralph Rosenberg, Executive Director of the Iowa Environmental Council, estimates a five-cent tax on plastic bottles containing water and other beverages could bring the needed money to the state. "We've heard it may raise as much as $20 to 25 million a year," Rosenberg told reporters Friday, following taping of an Iowa Press program on water quality at Iowa Public Television. GOP: Cleaning Up Drinking Water Is "A Start" By Joyce Russell • Mar 31, 2016 Anders Adermark/flickr A Republican-sponsored water quality bill passed by a wide margin in a House committee today in spite of reservations from Democrats. The bill takes existing tax revenue, and commits it to cities trying to get pollutants out of their drinking water. Iowans who live in cities pay a tax on metered water. The bill would direct the tax to a special fund for water treatment upgrades. But Democrats say farm chemicals and other contaminants will still be in Iowa waterways. Branstad on Schools: "They Want It All" By Joyce Russell • Mar 28, 2016 Jo Naylor Governor Branstad had harsh words today for Iowa's public schools who want a penny sales tax extended to benefit school infrastructure projects. The one-cent sales tax is set to expire in 2029. Schools use the money to back up bonding for everything from building repairs to technology upgrades. The governor wants to extend the tax, but he wants some of the revenue diverted to water quality. At his weekly news conference, Branstad lashed out against schools for opposing his plan. Water: A Novel About Love, Lust, Politics, and Nitrates By Charity Nebbe, Emily Woodbury & Dennis Reese • Mar 23, 2016 Carl Wycoff Water quality is certainly an important topic in Iowa, but can it also be sexy and funny? Jennifer Wilson thinks so, and she set out to prove it in her first novel, Water. The book takes on water quality and politics in Iowa, and it takes place against the familiar backdrop of Des Moines and Northeast Iowa. On this Talk of Iowa interview, Charity Nebbe talks with Wilson about the book and its unconventional path to publication with t-shirt company RAYGUN. RAYGUN owner Mike Draper also joins the conversation to talk about the collaboration. Who Should Pay to Clean Up Iowa's Waterways? Funding Debated at Statehouse By Lindsey Moon, Ben Kieffer & Joyce Russell • Mar 21, 2016 Photo Courtesy of Rita Dvorak In 2015, Iowa had a record number of beach closures due to blue green algae blooms. That, in addition to a lawsuit filed against three northwestern Iowa counties, is bringing increased attention to water quality in the state. GOP Lawmaker: Use Fertilizer Fees for Water Quality By Joyce Russell • Feb 22, 2016 USDA A Republican lawmaker in the Iowa House who works in environmental protection in his day job has a new plan for paying for water quality, but his fellow Republicans have nixed the idea. Water quality is on the agenda at the statehouse this year because of a proposal from Governor Branstad to use some school funds to clean up Iowa waterways. Representative John Wills of Spirit Lake works for the Soil and Water Conservation District in Dickinson County. Republicans: Use Education Fund for Schools, Not Water Quality By Joyce Russell • Feb 3, 2016 Photo by John Pemble Governor Branstad's proposal to pay for millions of dollars in water quality improvements now has some competition in the Iowa House and it's coming from the governor's fellow Republicans. Branstad wants to extend a penny sales tax for schools that is set to expire. The tax currently goes into a special fund for school infrastructure. Under Branstad's plan, some of the growth in the fund would be used to clean up Iowa's waterways. House Education Committee Chair, Republican Ron Jorgensen, says he needs more information on the governor's proposal. Governor's "Bold Initiative" on Water Quality Under Scrutiny By Joyce Russell • Jan 14, 2016 Photo by John Pemble There were signs from the statehouse today that Governor Branstad's new water quality initiative may face a tough slog in the legislature, in both the Republican House and the Democratic Senate. The Governor wants to take part of a state sales tax intended for schools, and spend it instead on water quality. Republican House Speaker Linda Upmeyer says some House Republicans don't support that. "I don't think anyone favors having a pot of money without a plan," Upmeyer says. "We want to make sure we're doing it smart." Branstad: This Is The Biggest And Boldest Initiative Probably I've Ever Put Together By Sarah Boden • Jan 5, 2016 Iowa Public Radio / Clay Masters Iowa's governor wants to kill two birds with one stone. Gov. Terry Branstad says by extending a sales tax increase enacted in 2008* to 2049, schools will get an additional $10 million annually for things like technology and infrastructure projects. He projects that the state will also raise nearly $4.7 billion in this period to address soil and water conservation issues related to agriculture. Iowa Artist Makes Music from Lake Okoboji Water Data By Lindsey Moon & Charity Nebbe • Dec 14, 2015 courtesy of Alex Braidwood Have you ever wondered what a healthy lake sounds like? Iowa based sound artist Alex Braidwood has. While he was working as an artist-in-residence for the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Regents Resource Center, a biological field station and nature preserve in Northwest Iowa, he devised a way to listen to the water. He's taken data being collected by a buoy floating in Lake Okoboji about water temperature and oxygen levels and has assigned each of the data points tones. Nitrates a Costly, Persistent Problem for Small Towns By Grant Gerlock • Nov 25, 2015 Photo by Grant Gerlock/Harvest Public Media Earlier this year, Des Moines, Iowa, made news when the city announced it would sue farmers in a legal battle over fertilizer. The city's water supply from the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers often surpasses the legal limit for nitrates (10 mg/L), which commonly appear in water contaminated by runoff from farm fields. Waterloo Agrees to Pay $272,000 for EPA Violations By Sarah Boden • Oct 27, 2015 Wikicommons / Patsy Lynch, FEMA The City of Waterloo has agreed to pay a total of $272,000 for violations of the Clean Water Act, pending a 30-day public comment period and approval by a federal court. The city was accused of discharging untreated sewage into the Cedar River and its tributaries, which allowed repeated backups of sewage-laden wastewater into homes and other buildings. Waterloo was also accused of failing to properly operate and maintain its sewage treatment and collection systems. Under terms of the settlement, Waterloo does not admit any wrongdoing. Iowa Scientists Say Human Connection to Climate Change like Cancer's Link to Tobacco By Lindsey Moon & Ben Kieffer • Oct 15, 2015 Shever / Flickr The University of Iowa's Center for Global, Regional and Environmental Research has been studying climate change in Iowa and around the world for 25 years this year. Greg Carmichael, co-director of the center and professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa, says public opinion has come a long way since the center's founding and that climate change deniers are "dead wrong" about the facts. Food Companies Show Concern about Farm Runoff By Abby Wendle • Sep 16, 2015 Photo by Abby Wendle/Harvest Public Media In order to grow massive amounts of corn and soybeans, two crops at the center of the U.S. food system, farmers in the Midwest typically apply hundreds of pounds of fertilizer on every acre they farm. This practice allows food companies to produce, and consumers to consume, a lot of relatively cheap food. But that fertilizer can leach through soil and wash off land, polluting our drinking water, destroying our fishing rivers, and turning a Connecticut-sized chunk of the Gulf of Mexico into an oxygen-depleted hypoxic zone, suffocating aquatic life. Water Quality Funding Increases, Water Quality Doesn't By Lindsey Moon & Ben Kieffer • Sep 11, 2015 Lindsey Moon / Iowa Public Radio Despite the fact that the legislature has increased state funding for water quality initiatives by millions of dollars since the 1980s, we haven't seen substantial improvements since then. That's according to Keith Schilling, who researches water for the Iowa Geological Survey. "I recently looked at 50 rivers' nitrate levels. Only six had changed since 1980, and those increased in nitrate concentration," he says. Pages1 2 next › last »

"Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older."
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."

Whether or not this is a problem, I highly doubt this is specific to newforms-admin as it has NOTHING to do with the database wrapper. Please verify this is the case on SVN, regardless if this is an actual problem or not. If I am wrong, please do correct me, but with some solid evidence :)

Also thanks for the workaround!!!
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by mtredinnick
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
(In [7133]) It makes sense that when you subclass an existing model field, you're often
going to be using the same database column type. Made that properly
inheritable (previously it was using the class name), at the cost of a little
more verboseness.
This is very slightly backwards incompatible (for subclasses of existing fields
that were relying on the old default).
Fixed #6556.

By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California lawmakers, responding to outrage over the six-month jail term given to a former Stanford University swimmer after his conviction for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, passed legislation on Monday closing a loophole that allowed the sentence. The bill now goes to Democratic Governor Jerry Brown for his approval. The measure was introduced in response to the sentence given to 20-year-old Brock Turner by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky in June, which was widely condemned as too lenient.
Los Angeles (AFP) - Suspense thriller "Don't Breathe" stole the North American box office thunder in its opening weekend, knocking off "Suicide Squad" from three weeks at the top, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The abandoned deal, which would have created the world's largest confectioner, underscores the grip that a charitable trust has on the maker of Hershey's Kisses and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The trust which controls Hershey was set up by the company's founder over a century ago to fund and run a school for underprivileged children. Hershey rejected a $107 per share acquisition offer from Mondelez at the end of June.

Disparate Treatment Employment Discrimination and an Employer's Good Faith: Honest Mistakes, Benign Motives, and Other Sincerely Held Beliefs
Ernest F. Lidge III
University of Memphis - Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law
June 23, 2010
Oklahoma City University Law Review, Forthcoming
University of Memphis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 21
When does an employer's "good faith" constitute a defense to a charge of intentional employment discrimination? Suppose an employer terminates an employee because of an honest, but mistaken, belief that the employee stole merchandise? Or suppose an employer desires to hire a female but truly believes that, if he does so, his customers will not patronize his business and the business will collapse? Or suppose an employer honestly believes that women are better drivers and therefore hires only women? Or suppose an employer fires a black employee because the employee is a Gemini and the employer genuinely believes that Geminis are bad employees? Or suppose an employer sincerely believes Geminis are better workers and therefore pays a (male) Gemini worker more than a (female) Capricorn? Or suppose an employer engages in intentional discrimination for a lofty, idealistic purpose?

Found this in the rubbish
Has this yarn and knitting business gone too far? Or does the following story prove that knitting simply and truly found its way into my blood?
One evening I was out throwing my recycles when I spotted in one of the bins what looked like a hand knitted scarf. I tried to reach out and grab it but the bin was too deep. I came back later with my daughter and showed it to her and she agreed that we must try to get it out. But how? We started looking for a long and strong enough stick but found none. Then I had an idea: when no one was around I'd lift my daughter up and over into the bin and she'd quickly bend over and pull it to her. I'd then quickly pull her out before anyone comes along and sees us. Please note that the bin was fairly clean except for a bit of dust. So, my daughter agreed and in she went and rescued a beautiful slightly dirty scarf. She loved the colour and so I said I'd make something for her out of it.
When I got home I had a proper look at it. It was crocheted badly and there were some long brown hairs interweaved in it. So, I gave it a good wash by hand, because I think it's wool and when it dried I unravelled it and rolled it into these four balls pulling out any human hairs in the process. I also think that it's hand dyed and woven. It's quite rough and itchy to the touch so I said that I will make a pretty girl's bag out of it.
I told a friend at work (who also knits) about this and she quietly confessed that she'd have done the same thing.
Thanks for letting me share this with you.

Climate Lobbyists Overwhelming Washington
Richard Littlemore | August 14, 2009
By Richard Littlemore • Friday, August 14, 2009 - 12:46
A total of 1,150 different companies and advocacy organizations have participated so far this year in lobbying Congres on climate change, an increase of more than 30 per cent this year alone.
According to records compiled by the Center for Public Integrity, energy interests and heavy industry led the charge, with agri-business coming in with a huge new push to protect or promote the (highly debatable) benefits of biofuels.
The Centre for Public Integrity couldn't attach a dollar figure to the over all lobbying effort, but the Associated Press had already reported that oil and gas lobbyists had spent $44.5 million in lobbying in the first quarter alone - a rate of spending that will shatter last year's record-breaking annual total of $129 million. (Even that number was up 73 per cent over the previous two years.)

Pope Benedict is promising "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his successor.
Benedict delivered his final greetings to cardinals at the Vatican today before he retires in just a few hours.
Benedict urged them to work in unity so that the College of Cardinals is "like an orchestra" where "agreement and harmony" can be reached.
At about 9 a.m. Colorado time, the Pope will take a helicopter to the papal retreat south of Rome.

Many treatments have been tried for relieving the symptoms of PMS. No treatment has been found to be consistently effective for all symptoms, but treating one or two symptoms may alleviate the whole syndrome.
Primary treatment strategies involve lifestyle changes. Secondary treatment strategies are employed only if your PMS symptoms do not improve within 2-3 months after making lifestyle changes. Secondary treatments may involve dietary supplements, medications, psychotherapy, and alternative and complementary therapies.
Treatment is focused on reducing or eliminating physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of PMS and may involve the following:
There are currently no surgical options for the treatment of PMS.

A mostly uneventful stalemate in 90 minutes ensured another half-hour's play and five minutes into the extra period, the Ton midfielder Dougie Imrie scored from the spot after referee Bobby Madden adjudged Celtic defender Efe Ambrose to have handled when challenging Greenock substitute Archie Campbell.
The Hoops bombarded the Morton goal but despite 27 corners and numerous efforts on goal, they could not draw level leaving the delighted Championship side to take the plaudits from the travelling support at the final whistle
The Celtic boss said: "I have got to be philosophical about it. It wasn't for the attitude or want of trying in the game.
"It just wasn't our night for whatever reason.
"The only disappointment for me is we had 26 corners and we didn't convert one of them with the height we had in the team.
"We have to take our chances.
"We ended up putting Virgil van Dijk up to give us something different and certainly we created a lot more."

The Royal lake (de Hofvijver), also known as 'the Pond' with the houses of Parliament.
The Castle of Floris IV was built on a dune beside this lake so that there was always a supply of fresh water. Canals were dug around the 'Binnenhof' for protection. Most of the canals were filled in but the lake remains and is fed by the river de Beek.
Pages'House, built between 1618 and 1628, is one of the few remaining houses with a 'stepped gable' in this part of the city.
It takes it name from the time the building was a boarding school for future squires. (Page means squire)
The place in the Neterlands to see musicals.
The Phantom of the opera, miss saigon and Elisabeth were succesfull. We saw Teh phantom and Miss Saigon. It was a perfect combination of special effects and performance.

I found this little house in The Hague on queens night. In the old days people had to pay taxes according to the width of their house. That's why a lot of houses were built with very narrow fronts.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Since Green Tree has purcahsed the servicing of my loan from BAC, there has been nothing but illegal attempts to take money out of my pocket. This month, instead of my regular mortagage payment statement I received a statement that increased my monthly payment by $ 40. The payment is due in at the threat of late fees in 6 DAYS! No other finincial servicing company that I have ever dealt with presents you with an increase in payment without any explanation and functionally gives you no time to find out what is going on before you are slammed with late fees for non-payment.
So, what is the $ 40 for? Well, after 90 minuutes on the phone with GT, it turns out it is not for insurance ( my homeowners insurance actually went down this year) nor is it for taxes, which did not go up this year. It is for an "Escrow Cushion". That's right an Escrow Cushion. And what is that? Well, it turns out that is simply a rationalization to collect money that is not owed, as there is no reason for it to exist, except to make money for GT.
What can you do? First, you can ask for an escrow waiver. An escrow waiver allows you to pay your own home owners insurance and taxes.Then, they have no reason to demand any money beyond principal and interest. You can also write your state AG with a written complaint, and ask them to contact Green Tree and ask them to legally justify each and every "escrow cushion" fee they are demanding of their clients, and force them to provide a 90-day advance notification whenever they plan to raise payments, which is how legitamate companies behave.

Matt Damon attended the Benefit "Stand Up for Gus", to show his support for Jason Patric ongoing fight for parental rights to
his biological son Gus.
What's Stand Up For Gus: Almost four years ago, Jason Patric was blessed with a baby boy named Gus. For the first 3
years of Gus's childhood, Patric was a consistent physical and emotional presence in Gus's life. But that all changed in an
instant. Patric was stripped of his rights as a parent after an outdated statute meant for sperm donors was applied to
Patric simply because Gus' mother and Patric were unmarried and used IVF to conceive. In Patric's journey, he has
discovered many other tragic stories of parental alienation and hopes to use his personal story and name to give a voice
to those who do not have one. Thus, "Stand Up To Gus" was born, a night to raise awareness and provide assurance that
no child should be left without the love and support of a parent.

Matt Damon and his fracking drama Promised Land received separate honors at Saturday's Environmental Media Awards, held on the Warner Bros. lot.
The Environmental Media Association event honored Promised Land in the feature film category, while Damon received the EMA Ongoing Commitment Award for his environmental work. Damon is a co-founder of Water.org and has promoted access to safe water and sanitation around the world.
The Environmental Media Association was founded in 1989 by Cindy and Alan Horn and Lyn and Norman Lear. The non-profit organization seeks to use the power of celebrity and the media to promote sustainable lifestyles. Visit the origination online at www.ema-online.org and www.facebook.com/EMAOnline.
I'm a bad fan, I totally missed posting on the Saturday due to being busy with work.
Huffington Post has a nice Slide Show and article. Go to their website to view the slideshow
Although Matt Damon doesn't look a day over kick-a**-action-star, Damon turns the big 4-1 today. But just like the heartthrob bad guy chasers before him, Damon won't let his growing collection of birthdays slow him down. Check out these photos of Damon from Snakkle before he knew how to throw a mean right hook ("The Bourne Identity") or have his way with a rugby ball ("Invictus").
Ever since his high school days, Damon had the makings of a full on Hollywood heatthrob.
I had completely missed that one as I usually don't pay much attention to the comedy nominations. Bad me!
Anyway, Matt Damon got nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series for his role as Carol in 30 Rock. Awesome!
The Emmys will be held Sunday, September 18th, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Fox will be broadcasting the show, and Glee's Jane Lynch will be hosting.
Matt Damon says his marriage to non-celebrity Luciana Barroso is the key to his 'quiet life'
Matt Damon considers himself a "lucky devil" compared to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Matt is happily married to Luciana Bozán Barroso, and the couple raise four kids together; Isabella, five, two-year-old Gia, Stella, nine months, and Alexia, Luciana's daughter from a previous relationship.
The Hollywood hunk is happy with his work/private life balance, and argues power couples such as Brad and Angelina face a much tougher ride. Matt met Argentine-born Luciana when she was working as a bartender, and cites her non-showbiz status as the reason they have more privacy. He also thinks his decision to shun living in Hollywood lends him greater space.
"Brad and Angie are like prisoners. When they go for a walk it is always a huge international sensation. I am lucky devil. I am doing work I love but I don't need paramilitary troops who care for me the minute I'm leaving home," he laughed to German TV station Tele 5.
"I am not as crazy as most of the other celebs. Probably because I married a woman who isn't an actress. And New Yorkers are really cool they don't go nuts when they see me. My kids don't latch on to the whole celeb hustle and bustle."
As a great advocate of privacy, Matt isn't keen on social-networking sites where members give out details of their day-to-day life either. The heartthrob is bemused by the way youngsters post such risqué videos on sites such as Facebook, and thinks in the future people will become less inclined to do so.
"We haven't quite realised what that media could do to us. And that's why we make mistakes like sending naked pictures of ourselves. The next generation will be more careful and say, 'Maybe we shouldn't tape ourselves having sex. That could look strange,'" mused Matt.
Matt Damon seems like a pretty great guy, but he may be an even more awesome son.
"My family is so grateful for the care you've given us," the Adjustment Bureau star said at a fundraiser last night for Massachusetts General Hospital's Cancer Care Center, where his father, Kent, has been undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood.
"It's deeply humbling to see how many people here are committing their lives to helping others," Matt said. "We've lost some close personal friends to cancer in recent years, but I never thought it would happen to my dad, the marathon runner…It sucked."
Happily, Kent Damon is currently in remission—and, apparently, a great mood.
"We try not to take this celebrity deal too seriously," he joked, referring to his A-lister son. He told the crowd a story about opening up the paper to read about Matt's Academy Award nominations for Good Will Hunting in 1997, and "there was a picture of Robert Duvall, Peter Fonda, and Dustin Hoffman—then there was a picture of my 27-year-old son. He didn't belong there with all these seasoned actors!"
Getting serious, however, Kent also said that his Boston-bred boy was "all you could ever for ask for in a son. It's been a wonderful ride being his dad."
Cue tears.
Matt actually succeeded his pops onstage, wondering "How do you follow that? My dad's biggest fear is public speaking, and I'm like, 'You've got cancer man!'
"When people ask me, "What's so great about Boston?' I say, 'Oh, the people, the sports teams—actually, I'd start with the sports teams—[and] the hospitals," the actor continued, according to the Boston Herald.
"But if you had ever heard of Mass General, you were raised to believe it was the best hospital in the world. You were raised to believe that the Red Sox would break your heart and that MGH was the best hospital in the world."
I wish him all the best and good luck on fighting this horrible disease.
Matt Damon would "never sell" out a director.
The actor-and-screenwriter says once he has agreed to appear in a movie or has hired a filmmaker for the project he could never get rid of them, even if he didn't think it was working out, because he'd already committed to the project.
He told Men's Health magazine: "My movies being really good or watchable always depends on everybody being really good, not just me. I'm particularly sensitive about making sure we secure the best possible people in each role because I am not somebody who can overcome if we don't.
"And then, for me, once I make that commitment, I never will sell the director out on that project. You cannot change horses midrace. Even if your horse is losing, you ride the horse as hard and as fast as you can. If there was a mistake made, it was made in your initial decision to work with that person."
Matt – who is currently starring in thriller 'The Adjustment Bureau' alongside Emily Blunt – also revealed he and writing partner Ben Affleck never take offence when their ideas are criticised by the other person.
He said: "When one of us comes up with an absolutely f**king horrible idea, which happens all the time, the other person, without batting an eyelash, says 'That's a terrible idea.' And neither of us has our feelings hurt, and we just kind of move on."
He has pushed reusable water bottles, done many a PSA, and even robbed a casino… now, eco-celeb Matt Damon will be lending his voice to help save the planet, and the human race!
Damon will be narrating the new PBS documentary Plan B: Mobilizing to Save Civilization, the latest installment in the "Journey to Planet Earth" series. The 90-minute doc is based on the book by climate crusader Lester Brown, and discusses the very real impact of climate change, and what we all must do to prevent future catastrophes. Joining Lester Brown and Matt Damon in the documentary are Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, former Governor and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, and others.
This sort of work is nothing new for Damon, who backs the eco-activist site Water.org, has worked with OneXOne, and was recently given a Critics' Choice Award for his charitable work.
The documentary looks fascinating, and aims to provide "a glimpse into a new and emerging economy based upon renewable resources as well as strategies to avoid the growing threat of climate change." Lester Brown seems to have some ambitious but realistic solutions, so let's hope this plan goes into action.
The film will premiere on PBS on March 30th at 10pm Eastern.
True Grit has been nominated in the following categories:
Hereafter has been nominated in for:
The 83th Academy Awards will happen on February 27th.
While Matt Damon has taken the back seat to his "True Grit" co-stars Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld so far this awards season, the actor was acknowledged Friday night (January 14) by the Broadcast Film Critics Association during the 16th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards for his humanitarian efforts.
In a segment presented by Jimmy Kimmel and Emily Blunt, Damon was given the fourth annual Joel Siegel Award for Service to the Community. While Kimmel provided comic relief, joking that the Oscar winner is "the greatest guy in the world," the actor received serious accolades for his charity, Water.org.
Blunt, who stars with Damon in the upcoming film "The Adjustment Bureau," explained that the organization Damon co-founded with Gary White helps to "provide developing countries with safe drinking water and sanitation by partnering with local communities."
As Blunt delivered the staggering statistics that less than 1 percent of the Earth's water is drinkable and more than 1 billion people don't have access to clean water, Kimmel continued to kid with Damon, telling him, "Sean Penn is actually in Haiti right now … carrying things!"
Kimmel, who gets the last laugh at Damon's expense every night on his late-night show, then cried foul on Damon's many awards, mocking, "You know how much water he wasted in that shower scene in 'School Ties'? A lot!"
Damon, playing as good a sport as ever to Kimmel's jabs, then took the stage to accept his award to a standing-ovation audience that included his "Good Will Hunting" collaborator Ben Affleck. After taking a shot back at Kimmel — "I literally have no idea why you're here," he quipped — Damon got serious about receiving what he described as "a wonderful honor."
The actor acknowledged the work of late film critic Joel Siegel, who, as Damon told the crowd, "Believed that you should use celebrity to improve the lives of others and he lived that way. So, I'm really honored to get this in his name."
Though plenty of the segment included joking around with Kimmel, Damon got very serious when he delivered the news that, "Every 15 seconds, a kid somewhere on planet Earth dies because they don't have access to clean water and sanitation."
Calling that information "disgusting and unacceptable and unnecessary," he added, "These are issues we've known how to solve here for 100 years in our country. … Just imagine if we cured AIDS tomorrow and in 100 years people were still dying of it, 3 million of them a year. It's just really ridiculous."
Damon concluded his speech by thanking his partner, White, and informed viewers that by donating $25 on the Water.org website, they could give a child "clean water for life." He then promised that they would change the fact that 1 billion people do not have clean water and offered to viewers, "Feel free to join us."

In the last year I've gotten married, had a baby who came ten weeks early and dealt with the death of a family member. While life hasn't been overwhelming it's been a little stressful.
So to find what's left of my inner peace I tried out Vinyasa Yoga.

While we don't have the humidity to make the heat oppressive, an extended period of hot weather is pretty hard on folks that do not have access to air conditioning. Below are some great ways to beat the heat and stay comfortable through a hot times.
Slow down. Strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated, or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. Individuals at risk should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.
Dress for summer. Lightweight light-colored clothing reflects heat and sunlight, and helps your body maintain normal temperatures.
Put less fuel on your inner fires. Foods (like proteins) that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.
Drink plenty of water or other non-alcohol fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel thirsty. Persons who (1) have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease, (2) are on fluid restrictive diets or (3) have a problem with fluid retention should consult a physician before increasing their consumption of fluids.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages.
Do not take salt tablets unless specified by a physician.
Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, spending some time each day (during hot weather) in an air conditioned environment affords some protection.
Don't get too much sun. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult
While our heatwaves don't last that long, and it does cool down at night, it can be quite uncomfortable for elderly people, children, and people that have a heat sensitive illness. Be sure to check on those that are impacted by the heat, and try to accomodate their needs. Also, don't forget about the pets. Make sure they have access to water, and a shady place to keep cool.

"Onsen Experience (Part II)" Top 5 Page for this destination Odaiba & Ariake Tip by Wild_Orchid
Odaiba & Ariake, Tokyo: 3 reviews and 2 photos
What greeted me next was quite a surprise (even for a liberal thinker such as myself!) & even though I had mentally prepared for it. A sea of women of all ages and a few girls, were changing out of their yukatas in readiness for the best part-the bathing ritual.
Here, I was handed a big towel & a small towel & had brought along a 100 yen coin for the small & final locker. Photography is strictly not permitted here.
Having changed out of my yukata, I entered through the doors & found numerous stations outfitted with low wooden stools, showers & various ranges of liquid soaps shampoos. I picked an unoccupied shower station, turned on the water and gave the little stool a quick rinse. Taking my cue from a mother & daughter team I observed there, I proceeded to wash & scrub every inch of my body. (The hot water of the public bath is meant for soaking, not for cleaning.)
After that, I was faced with many choices. There were pools of all sizes, some with Jacuzzi-like bubbles, a few that were hot and others hotter still and one at the corner which was filled with icy cold water. There was also a small steam room.
After some minutes of peaceful soaking (per Japanese customs, no splashing please!), I wandered in a daze & stumbled outside. It was drizzling lightly but with a clear plastic covering the ?roof?, only a bit of water splashed through. I then soaked in a couple of the small hot pools, and soaked in the atmosphere. It was lovely, and I felt completely sensual, free and at ease, absorbing the outdoor scenery, the Japanese gardens, the light blue skies and beautiful women around me.
After that, I returned back indoors and bravely soaked in the the cold pool. Thus invigorated & feeling pleasantly drowsy, it was time to leave.
Entrance Fees: 2,827 Yen for Adults, 1,575 Yen for Children. Extra for massage, foot reflexology, sand sauna.
Yukata-wear the left flap on the outside, over the right. I wore mine the wrong way!Sash can be tied in many ways, usually, with bow at the back.

The past week or so I've been having pain in my lower abdomin and lots of mucos-y discharge. Last month was my first period since my 11 month old son was born, since I have been breastfeeding. I've also been pretty tired lately, and just have a feeling that I could possibly be pregnant.
Last night I took 2 of the equate brand early pregnancy tests. The first one I couldn't tell if it was defective or not. It looked like it only soaked through the bottom half of the test strip, even though I kept it under the stream for the designated amount of time. But on the bottom half of the test area there was a faint blue line. I left it for a while if it would just take a little longer to soak thru and it got a little bit darker, and definitely blue- not grey or purple. But it was still only on the bottom half.
The second I waited a little longer than the 3 minutes to look at it. It barely had anything, but there was definitely something there, almost a shadow.
I couldn't tell if these were just "evaporation lines" or a positive result. So I ran to walgreens and bought there version of a digital response test. I took one last night, and one this morning. Both were negative. But then I was looking at a lot of reviews on the Walgreens brand and they showed a lot of false results.
I'm so torn. I don't know what to believe! Any advice? I hate to keep buying tests just for more unassuredness.
Oh, and I guess I should add: when I tested with my firstborn, I did so with 4-5 tests, all of them were really faint also. I don't know if that matters.

Selecting the Right Emergency Caution System
Picking the Right Emergency Warning System
Emergencies can occur when you least expect them, which is why it's crucial that you have an emergency warning system offered to signal your staff members and anyone else who needs to know in case an emergency scenario should develop in your company. Different emergency caution systems might be required for different types of companies, and it isn't constantly simple to know what will certainly best fulfill your company's needs. In order to make sure that you pick the emergency situation warning system that's right for your company and will have the ability to get the necessary info out to your employees rapidly, think about the following points as requirements by which you can judge possible systems.
Size of Your Company
Relying on the size of your company you may find that you require a larger or smaller sized emergency situation warning system than exactly what you might be considering. Certainly a bigger company will certainly have to be able to supply relevant details to hundreds or potentially even thousands of employees, while sending different quantities of info to the numerous levels of management so that they can better deal with the emergency. A smaller company, on the other hand, will not require almost as sophisticated of an emergency situation caution system because it will certainly have significantly less employees and a much smaller sized management swimming pool who will be dealing with the scenario. Systems which are designed for companies of any size might be ideal for both; however other systems may be developed with features particular to certain company sizes.
Types of Warnings Needed
The types of warnings that you desire your emergency situation alerting system to send out can be a significant factor to consider when comparing various systems to see which the ideal one for your business is. Of course, you might not desire your system to send cautions for all of those events or utilizing all of those methods, so you must keep your choices in mind when going shopping for your emergency warning system.
Additional Features
A variety of different features might be offered with different emergency situation caution systems, and you need to consider them in order to ensure that you find the system that best satisfies your business needs. You may be able to have the emergency situation warning system immediately contact the police, fire department, or other emergency services, or you might have it establish so that it will certainly send out follow-up messages to everyone who got a caution in order to provide them more upgraded details or to let them understand when the emergency scenario has passed. Make certain to consult the vendor whom you're purchasing your system from if you do not comprehend any of the functions which are offered as a part of the warning system, so that you'll have the ability to best identify whether it will certainly fit the requirements of your company.
5 Tips for More Efficient Emergency situation Response
Life-threatening emergencies take place every day. 99 % of these emergencies go largely unnoticed by wire service and the general public. The reason for this is because the responders are well ready and able to stop any potential disaster. As a lifeguard, you are bound to experience your reasonable share of emergency circumstances and are accountable for being the first to react to them. The biggest key to a successful response is great prep work. Keep these ideas in mind as you are preparing your responses to emergency situations.
When emergency situation strikes while you are on duty, it is your responsibility to ensure you have back-up coverage in your zone. You will likewise need to be prepared to take over for another lifeguard that leaves their chair for a rescue. Make sure you develop good rapport with the other guards and know your center's Emergency Action Plan (EAP).
Clear the Water: Another possible response to an emergency situation is to clear the swimming location. If the water is very crowded or the bystanders are put in danger by the emergency, you will wish to have everyone left out of the water. This responsibility may fall on the lifeguard who isn't the primary responder. Ensure you communicate with them to notify them if the water has to be cleared. Another reason to consider clearing the swimming area is if the emergency situation will require multiple lifeguards to respond. If numerous lifeguards have to aid and there are inadequate guards to see the adjusted zones, you will have to clear the water. Discover more about bug out bag at www.survival-goods.com .
Any time there is a situation that involves a lethal emergency situation; you will need to get in touch with local EMS. If you do not have professional emergency situation workers on site, you will certainly require calling your regional emergency number.
Controlling Crowds: When an emergency happens at crowded facilities, you will certainly need to control the crowds so that you can offer the correct care. A location may need to be roped off or a barrier set up utilizing available chairs. In any scenario, you will require to speak clearly and firmly to make sure that you get the correct space you will certainly require.
Evacuation: If you enjoy the news for 10 minutes every night, you might think that severe weather condition and violence is becoming more widespread in society. The truth is that these dangers have constantly existed. Being the lifeguard on duty, you need to prepare to react when these emergencies take place. Your facility's EAP must provide you comprehensive directions on ways to react to these situations. Be prepared to utilize the predetermined signal to clear the water and advice patrons to safety whenever these emergencies occur. When it is needed to evacuate the facility, ensure you are examining all areas for visitors and customers that may run out plain sight such as in locker rooms or in concession areas. You will certainly want to make sure that local emergency situation responders are gotten in touch with by calling 9-1-1 or dialing your local emergency line. It is essential that you not let any visitors return to the center until it is cleared by the regional emergency situation response team.
These are the circumstances that you registered for; to be the person accountable for the safety of others in the time of emergency situation. Preparation is the vital to successful emergency situation response. Put yourself in the right position when emergency situation strikes by having a strong understanding of your facility's EAP and exercising your response with your fellow lifeguards.Find more info here https://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/06/no_author/silvers-lost-history-as-money/

AbstractScalar mobility counting rules and their symmetry extensions are reviewed for finite frameworks and also for infinite periodic frameworks of the bar-and-joint, body-joint and body-bar types. A recently published symmetry criterion for the existence of equiauxetic character of an infinite framework is applied to two long known but apparently little studied hinged-hexagon frameworks, and is shown to detect auxetic behaviour in both. In contrast, for double-link frameworks based on triangular and square tessellations, other affine deformations can mix with the isotropic expansion mode.
