Glantraeth Football Club was setup in the year 1984. It's headquarters was originally on land near the Glantraeth Restaurant donated by landowner Mr Iolo Owen MBE. The club immediately gained entry to the Anglesey League of Welsh football, and in the 1985/86 season the team were runners up in the league, thanks to the leadership of their manager Robin Evans, whose footballing tactics were unlike anything else being used in the league at the time.

The promising league performance continued as the 'Glan' were runners up for a second time in the Anglesey League in the 1987/88 season, before eventually winning the league title in 1989/90, an achievement which got the club promoted to the Gwynedd Football League.
For the next several years, the club won a succession of trophies, honor and glory were heaped upon their name. In the 1992/93 season they were one of the Gwynedd Cup finalists and winners of the Eryri Shield trophy. In 1993/94 they became Champions of the Gwynedd League, which earned them promotion to the lucrative Welsh Alliance League, and also won the Gwynedd cup and were finalists in the Eryri Shield.
They ended the 1996/97 season as champions of the Welsh Alliance League, and were subsequently promoted to the Cymru Alliance League. In order to be eligible to enter Cymru, a new stand had to be built in the ground so that there would be enough capacity for visiting away fans of bigger teams, and the changing rooms and drainage system needed to be renovated. A large statue of a dragon was built in the car park to make the club appear more patriotic.
In the 2002/03 season, the club received permission from the Welsh FA to enter the coveted Welsh Alliance League. On the final day of that season, the team won the league title by just one point over Bodedern, their arch rivals, and finished runners-up in the Cookson Cup and Barritt Cup. The success of this season was credited to the hypnotherapy training techniques employed by Head Coach Bob Brodie and his shadowy agents Ray White and Maldwyn Hughes.

Skip to comments.Zimbabwe runs out of bread
Posted on 10/01/2007 7:08:53 PM PDT by george76
Harare admits land reform has failed as the deadline passes for the last white farmers to leave their land.
Zimbabwe's bakeries have shut and supermarkets have warned there will be no bread for the foreseeable future as the government admitted that wheat production had collapsed following the seizure of white-owned farms.
The agricultural ministry announcement that the wheat harvest is only about a third of what is required, and that imports are held up by lack of hard currency, came as a deadline passed today for the last white farmers to leave their land or face prosecution for trespass.
The maize harvest is expected to be equally dire and price controls to contain hyperinflation have emptied the stores of most other foodstuffs...
Last week, the government said it plans to import 100,000 tonnes of wheat but acknowledged that a shipment of 35,000 tonnes was held up in Mozambique because of a shortage of hard currency to pay for it.
The agriculture minister, Rugare Gumbo, has blamed the food shortages on black farmers who have taken over formerly white-owned land.
"I am painfully aware of the widespread theft of stock, farm produce, irrigation equipment and the general vandalism of infrastructure by our new farmers," ...
"I am disappointed that our new farmers have proved to be failures since the start of the land reform programme in 2000..."
The ministry of agriculture has also blamed electricity shortages...
The power shortages are likely to continue. Mozambique has reduced electricity supplies to Zimbabwe because of a $35m... unpaid bill...
Zimbabwe, once the world's second largest exporter of tobacco, has also seen production of its main cash crop nosedive...
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Paging Mr. Bono. Paging Mr. Geldorf. Please come to the courteousy phone...
How did you reach that conclusion? I haven't read any post here
that makes such an inference. Could you be specific?
Thanks George76. This is what happened because Mugabe was permitted to crust all opposition.
New Orleans has it's problems but to compare it to Zimbabwe is completely idiotic, even in jest.
New Zimbabwe recipe
Mugabe stew
Take a pound of nothing and mix it with 2 tablespoons of nothing and add a pinch of nothing.
Dinner is served. Serves everyone in Zimbabwe except Mugabe and friends (who are probably eating foie gras and truffles)
Thanks for your favorite Z story.
Putting non farmers on a farm hoping that they can learn to farm is silly.
Plus all the other stuff.
Modified recipe.
Corn Meal with Pumpkin (Zimbabwean Nhopi 2007)
serves 1/4
Steal 1 tablespoon corn meal from neighbor. If not available, try using bark or weeds.
Sugar has been deleted from this recipe due to unavailability.
2 cups water, preferably from middle of puddle to minimize scum and mud
1 teaspoon peanut butter if available (may substitute dirt)
A piece of rotten pumpkin if you can find or steal it
Salt to taste
Secretly heat the water in the sun, and put in the corn meal, bark or weeds. Maintain a watch for starving people who may try to take your food by force.
Stir frequently, until it's softened a bit. Don't waste too much time on this. Someone may see you.
Next, stir in the rotten pumpkin bit, if you have it.
Then add the peanut butter (dirt) and salt. Combine all ingredients.
Drink any pumpkin water. Serve immediately with several blades of grass.
You forgot to add the pureed Gumbo.
Is there no one in Zimbabwe who will off Mugabe?
Africa pinglist ping.
And here it comes.....
If not a '[you] told them so' attitude, it is still very petty to crow over and over that 'this is the consequence of kicking out 'whitey''.
If the European descended Zimbabweans remained in power, and if they kept control over most of Zimbabwe's arable land, Zimbabweans might (probably) not be starving en masse today. Yet it is disgusting that on so many of these Zimbabwe threads that the main trust of so many posts is that the European descended Zimbabweans should not have be expelled from power rather than it is bad that people are starving to death, are being oppressed by a tyrannical regime, and their country is descending toward chaos.
If the European descended Zimbabweans remained in power, Zimbabweans might (probably) not be starving en masse today.....Rhodesians would NOT be starving en masse today. Fixed it for you.
They have everything from Octopus to Steak to varieties of bread, the shelves are packed, a bit pricey at 35,000 a pound for shrimp.
Zimbabwe also is a fascinating look into inflationary pressure and social upheaval, so far, not too much upheaval yet, but a tipping point will be reached sooner or later.
And Zimbabwe is also a good example of what happens when Race becomes the sole criteria for a Govt's existence, Zimbabwe is sort of the radical left's paradise, it's what Detroit would be if it were a state.
Ragnar Danneskjold, your ship is ready.
They removed people from their property, by murder and rape. It was genocide, and nobody in the world cared. There are innocents in Zimbabwe, and I hope they escape.
Frankly until the people kill and eat Mugabe, I don't have any reason to care. When that happens I will have a reason to cheer.
The residents of Detroit are obese from government hand-outs. Detroit would be just like Zimbabwe if the residents had to work for food.
Not a surprise. I wonder where that Cathy Buckle is, who used to write a column from Zim? Was it Clive who used to post her stuff?
(I'm dismayed that there are really people in this world who are so stupid that they don't understand this! Do you have to be a flippin' moron to be a Socialist/Communist?)
Sounds tasty. Will have to try them!
Your arrogance is breathtaking.
And whose fault is it that the nation of Zimbabwe is under a tyrranical regime and descending into chaos?
(Other than idiots like Carter and other similar commie-pinko-liberal scum, who supported the commie terrorists against Rhodesia?)
I hope like heck she isn't in Zimbabwe any more.
Under communism, the elites always have excellent shopping opportunites, housing...
The problem is with the other 95 percent.
Zimbabwe is an excellent example of the Jimmy Carter theories. It may sound great to him and the New York Times, but it will never work.
It is sad that this lesson has to be re-learned so often.
America may have another learning experience soon if Hillarty care returns.
Darn. Beat me to it.
" Do you have to be a flippin' moron to be a Socialist/Communist? "
Yes...unless one is part of the elite 5 percent.
What's funny is, even most of the "elite" in an authoritarian Socialist/Communist regime don't have the standard of living that middle-class Americans enjoy. As a result of Socialism, the whole country lacks. Even the top is lower than it could be.
Liberty and free-market economics make everyone more wealthy.
"I am painfully aware of the widespread theft of stock, farm produce, irrigation equipment and the general vandalism of infrastructure by our new farmers," he said.
There is a reason why there are EMPLOYERS and EMPLOYEEEES.
Some people can be self employed- which is exactly what a farmer/rancher is, and why some people can barely hold a job.
It's almost as though savagery might not be a sound basis for an economy.
You are exactly correct.
Not only does the average middle class American have a higher standard of economic living and health care, the individual political freedom are even more important.
The elites are a step away from ruin all the time. If the boss is not happy, they disappear. Thus the temporary elevation can and is often very short.
[The elite] have everything from Octopus to Steak to varieties of bread, the shelves are packed,
So does the Wal-Mart near my house, which caters to the lower classes. Live lobsters, wild salmon, prime steaks, exotic fruits, fresh fancy breads... plenty for everyone. Too pricy? one can make a rather nice dinner for two for $2.
Even the high-budget fancy grocery store near my work offers a nice mix of salmon, tuna, tilapia, etc. chunks for a paltry $2/lb.
Of course, all this is limited to the "elite" of tyrranies. Not quite sure why the tyrants don't just cash in & move somewhere nice where they can get by much better than our "poor".
Classic death wish.
I always wondered about countries like Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) when the collapse happens, why they don't switch to a free market wide open economic models?
I know the reason "why" of course, it's just a pity that the "new" Govt has to tax to raise money to pay the secret police to oppress anyone who might threaten the "new" Govt's existence...a truly vicious cycle.
Just ask Hillary the next wannabe black woman communist president of the renamed Socialist Republic of the Americas with it's satellite capitol in Mexico City, DF.
Please reread my post
Critics say the legislation amounts to expropriation because it effectively forces the companies to hand over half of their value by taxing them to raise the money to "buy" the 51% stake for black investors approved by the government.
The government has ignored the protests of some foreign investors, including South African banks and mining houses. With the collapse of tobacco production, mining is now the country's largest source of foreign currency.
Zimbabwe's minister of indigenisation, Paul Mangwana, said those companies that do not like it can "pack their bags and go".
"If they feel that we went into the bush [to fight against white rule] for them to enjoy our wealth then they can leave. We are talking about the total liberation of this country. I have no apologies for that," he said.
Not so much the kicking out whitey that is the cause of our smugness, it is the fine example of a workers revolution smashing capitalism and the consequences. I'm reminded of Atlas shrugged when the lights go out in the cities.
but a few weeks later, along came another veteran who also wanted to build a little shack and plant some corn on the same 400 acres...
when veteran two wouldnt leave, veteran one shot him.
Dang, I'll have to re-write that tale in the style of Joel Chandler Harris. (Sample: "By-um-by, anutha Vet'rin come along. De firs' Vet'rin, he grip his rifle and lay low, and he doan say nuttin!")
People are going to starve no matter how much aid is promised or even delivered. That would have happened anyway due to impossible economic damage but starvation is now a tacit state policy as well. These are the hostages to our own goodwill and human compassion - show us enough babies with swollen bellies and the West will come across as it always does. It does not appear to be ironic even to the thugocracy that the principal product of a country that once fed its neighbors is now or will be shortly pictures of starving children.
I shall find it difficult to watch - the victims do not "deserve" this and are the very last to be able to do anything about it. They are by a large minority young, black and poor. The talk, the politics, the incessant rhetoric has been all race but it was never really about race underneath, it was about a Western party tribalism that has grafted itself onto the existing ethnic tribalism that is the curse of Africa. Race has been the tool used by the cynical to manipulate the credulous, many of which (especially in South Africa) still refuse to admit that for the fear that it might necessitate a reassessment of their own accession to power. It ought to, but it won't. Wealth is transient, self-righteousness is permanent.
The West - I am speaking of the EU, Canada, the United States, the usual suspects - will not allow this to happen although it will happen anyway. Part of the reason is human compassion that is perfectly legitimate. A darker part is shared politics. There is in many Western political enthusiasts the same drive toward Marxian tribalism, forced collectivism, "social justice" that is neither just nor social, and rule by a self-proclaimed elite that is precisely what led Zimbabwe down its present road to disaster. If Zim has arrived first it is only because there was less there to steal. That is now gone.
To be blunt, the thugs in Zimbabwe will be in power long after Mugabe has departed the scene, and they will be kept that way by Western compassion and political sympathizers. The best of many evils is for those of us in the West to deny those sympathizers the power to prolong the hideous social experiment that is Zimbabwe. That is our best option, and still the people will starve. This dilemma is the fruit of Marx and at this point we're stuck with it.
This is horrible for the poor folks of Zim....does it take death by starvation to rid this country of that monster, their so-called leader? Other African nations must step in and help those people. Not that joke of a government, but the people...
Sure, the end justifies the means. Makes perfect sense to someone trying to establish a society based on man being basically good and if only given the equal wages of others...ad nauseam...
Many folks have already fled Z for South Africa. These workers send money home to Z as a short term fix.
Many expect this flood to SA to increase.
The only real long term solution is for other African nations to recognize that socialism and communism do not work.
Z use to be and can be again the bread basket of Africa. They were easily be able to feed themselves and export the surpluses.
Yet, this is an African problem and Africans need to take care of it. Whites brought great things to this continent...many African nations NO longer welcome whites...so I consider this no longer our problem...so let African nations solve this problem. They need to step up to the plate...and show the world they can solve their own problems without us/whites.
Didn't that Zim leader pocket lots of the monies? That seems to be the MO of these types of so-called leaders.
Pretty soon Minister Gumbo himself may be on the menu, so to speak.
Socialism, under whatever guise, is morally and practically indistinguishable from cannibalism.
Didn't that Zim leader pocket lots of the monies?
I believe yes.
Like the former dictators from Haiti; he may have a French Villa and Swiss bank accounts.
The double whammy of communism and racism have failed. Hmmmthat's odd! In theory...
/sarc off
And it's now allowing Indians to take American call-center jobs.
You could understand his grammar well enough to draw that conclusion? Wow.

Comments about Women's Layering Tank Top - Solid:
I bought two of these, one in black and one in white quite a few years ago and they are still in great shape. I now own 7 in various colors so I can wear one every day of the week. The fabric changed a bit, 1% more on the spandex and the made in country has changed from China to Vietnam and Bangladesh but they still breathe well.
Comments about Women's Layering Tank Top - Solid:
the material is nice and thick so it doesn't show anything from underneath (skin, bra) and it retains its shape throughout the day, unlike the ribbed cotton tanks
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Layering Tank Top - Solid:
I have contradictory feelings about this tank. Love the soft and comfortable feel and often wear with a packable shirt, but wish the scoop neck wasn't quite so low cut. I often have to pull the straps back so I don't give work colleagues a show, and the neckline doesn't peek out when layering with other shirts which is unfortunate given the lovely color and polished look of the fabric. Even though the fabric look isn't quite as nice, I'll probably stick with the 2x2 rib tank since the fit is a bit better with respect to the neckline.
Comments about Women's Layering Tank Top - Solid:
Just purchased my second set of these in multiple colors (the first set purchased a couple/few years ago). The fabric has enough stretch to feel supportive without feeling too tight. They wear well, wash well...just a great value.

Hi there.
Maybe it's a but, maybe it isn't. But when I try to create a fresh clean installation of the current 2.0.2 release I can do uploads, and I can see them in the upload frame, but when I add them to my post, they don't show up.
The .tar.gz file is extracted to /var/www/wptest, so there is a folder /var/www/wptest/wordpress where all the stuff is.
From the logs of my server I can read:
[Mon Mar 20 09:23:19 2006] [error] [client x.y.z.101] File does not exist: /usr/share, referer:
[Mon Mar 20 09:34:41 2006] [error] [client x.y.z.101] File does not exist: /var/www/wptest/wp-content, referer: http://xyz/wptest/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=1
The first strange thing is, that it wants to access /usr/share, but I guess that's another problem.
The second line tries to access /var/www/wptest/wp-content but it should be /var/www/wptest/wordpress/wp-content.
I tried to find the reason for this, but I couldn't find it.
Help is very appreciated since I really would like to use the 2.0.2 version.

it was suppose to be no work , and i earn the money because i let them use my name in the advertisements. but i have to do all the work sell all the ads on top of paying for the radio, tv, and newspaper ads and that cost money that i don't have.
i disputed this with my credit card company, but they tell me that i can continue to be charged for using there services, even though i have not touched or used any of their products that they have sent me.
this was suppose to be a one year project while i was in school ,to defer the cost but. instead i have an eleven thousand dollar credit card bill!

I am redesigning the website for our school district in Durango, CO to use a CMS instead of the hacked together way we are doing things now (http://durangoschools.org). I would like to try to use WordPress to put this together.
The entire main site will use the same general theme (similar to the site listed above). There will be no true 'blogs' but there will be 4-6 'news' blogs for different departments in the district (Public information office, Human Resources, news from the Superintendent, etc). I would like all of these news areas and many other pages (using Pages) to share the same general theme (with some fairly minor differences in different depts.).
On the forums I have seen ways to do multi-blogs but they don't seem to share the theme. Kind of defeats the purpose if I would have to change nav links etc in several different places :)
Can I do this with WordPress? Or do I need to look elsewhere for a solution?
Thank you for any assistance.

Also I noticed from where I was sitting there was guy in the kitchen cutting up fish with a pair of scissors. That cannot be very sanitary can it??
I filed a complaint directly with Golden Corral, their return response was they would forward it to the Lima Ohio Golden Corral.
Never heard anything at all back from them so I decided to post my complaint where everyone can see it.
My final words are Do Not Eat at Golden Corral. You have no idea at all whats in their food or how they prepare it. Maybe that is how they can sell it so cheap for a dinner??

Did you advise management at the Golden Corral of the bad meat loaf while you were there"

"Also I noticed from where I was sitting there was guy in the kitchen cutting up fish with a pair of scissors. That cannot be very sanitary can it??"
Can't see anything wrong with cutting up food with scissors. The ones used in food prep are stainless steel and can ususally be disassemble for cleaning. We have 3 sets of these in our home. They are very efficient, serrated and cut through most everything. Then they're disassembled and put in the dishwasher.
My guess is you're leaving something out of this story or have an agenda against them.
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?

Template talk:Infobox OS version
Template talk:Infobox OS
This page is a soft redirect.
|The contents of the Template:Infobox OS version page were merged into Template:Infobox OS and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history.
Ready for use[edit]
I finally got around to writing the documentation for this infobox... whew, there's quite a bit of it! Hopefully it will serve as a useful guide for implementers of this template. -/- Warren 00:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I added an optional logo_size parameter for logos that look bad at 250px like this one. It still defaults to 250px, so existing uses should be unaffected. Deco 21:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Style / layout[edit]
So there's a perfectly good set of defaults for {{infobox}}. These defaults work fine on a great many templates, including most of the computing ones ({{infobox software}}, {{infobox computer}} and {{infobox OS}} being the most obvious). There's no real need IMO to deviate from these at all. I'd appreciate a rationale for why this box demands a special layout. For now, I've conceded to re-adding the colour strip for headers and collapsed the table borders. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 20:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've made yet more concessions to the old version. A reminder again that this is temporary, until Warren explains what he means by the terms "organized", "too wide" et cetera. However, the current version is practically the same layout as the old, and is by my reckoning more compact. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- If you consider it "concessions", then you haven't thought about why the old template was the way it was.
- I've set up User:Warren/Tableau with the current template at the top, and working backwards chronologically to the original template, so you can see the issues all at once.
- Width: You've increased the width of the template by 35 pixels without a justification. Again, it's vital to remember that width is at an absolute premium at the beginning of articles. The navbox was 310px before, which is already too wide.
- Chances are pretty good that you're using a high-resolution display... try viewing User:Warren/Tableau when the browser is set to fit within a 1024 pixel-wide display. The lead sentences of the article break roughly as follows: "Windows Vista is a line of operating systems[4] developed by Microsoft for" "use on personal computers, including home and business desktops," "laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Prior to its announcement on" "July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename Longhorn.[5]" The original template layout has enough extra width to add two more words, "Development of", in those first four lines. It's not much, but every bit helps on a smaller screen.
- Now you might argue that you needed to make it wider to fit "Default user interfaces" on one line. I don't think we don't need this field at all; it wasn't in the original template design, but someone added it and several other parameters earlier this year without an edit summary or any decent rationale for doing so. With the exception of "Platform support", which is something that has changed from version to version of the operating systems we use this template on, I think all of those fields can go. That'll reduce the perceived need for width.
- Organization: The old template had sections for Developer (whose contents are centered), Release Information (which is a table), Support Status (whose contents are centered), and a free-form "Further reading" section. Remember that the only purpose of the navbox is to help the user navigate and find some detail they're looking for quickly. Your earlier design lost all of that organization and turned it into a single long table... long tables are hard on the eyes, and the user ends up not even trying to take it all in. (this is user interface design philosophy) Your revisions have fixed some of this, but I still believe that "is it being supported" is still worthy of its own section.
- Border: It should go around the whole thing. There is a visual consistency involved in having the top border of the box align with the first line of the article. Having a logo and part of the information contained in the navbox floating free adds a bunch of empty space around the top, which is disconcerting. Again, this is UI design philosophy.
- Also, the colons are missing. The text on the left serves as a label for the text on the right. Colons are a visual cue. Again, this is UI design philosophy.
- I keep bringing UI design up because I work professionally as a user interface and user interaction designer. Organizing and presenting information on computer screens is my life's work. So I like to think what I know what I'm talking about here. You self-identify as a system administrator on your user page, so I understand why you'd value consistency and the technical aspects underlying how the template works. But that's really not important as far as the final output is concerned -- what's important is the answer to the question, "will the user look at the article and be helped, or be frustrated?" Everything you do with template editing should serve only that purpose. Warren -talk-
- Hey, my current job isn't under discussion here. Let's not go pulling rank. To address these points:
- Width.
The default width of an {{infobox}} is 22em. This is used by all {{infobox}} templates by default. If you think that this value is too high, then it should be addressed at template talk:infobox, which will benefit the whole project and not just a handful of articles on various Windows and Mac OS versions. The same goes for the additional spacing caused by not making the borders collapse - if you think this should be the infobox default then please request that centrally and it'll benefit everyone.Turns out that just shortening a couple of labels fixes this without resorting to hacks. With the borders uncollapsed (which is the default), the infobox is currently only a handful of px wider than the old one, and doesn't result in any wrapping of text relative to the old one if the first paragraph of your test page.
- Organisation. I agree that there is some value in breaking up long lists of key-value pairs if it helps readability. This can be easily done using section headers. The current version splits at the same points as the old one.
- The infobox is a table. Using a caption to denote a table heading is a perfectly standard, semantically valid way of presenting an HTML table title. I just can't agree that this is a negative usability-wise.
- The colons are unnecessary - the information is presented in clear key-value pairs, using separate HTML elements and different styling. We could add all sorts of different ways of making the types stand out from each other - putting the key in upp case, or making it bright red, for instance - which we do not do because it is unnecessary. Colons are an indistinct form of screen punctuation and do not add significantly to the distinction.
- Width.
- In the interests of keeping a dialogue going, so far as I can tell the only current sticking points are:
- The need for colons as separators;
- The use of a caption rather than an in-table header for the title;
- The need for an off-green background colour to the headers rather than leaving it transparent.
- Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:28, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, my current job isn't under discussion here. Let's not go pulling rank. To address these points:
- Coloured Infobox section headers are extremely common on Wikipedia. I picked Cleveland Indians, World War II, Mars and James Earl Jones off the top of my head as articles likely to have Infoboxes, and all four of them use a background colour. Again, it's a visual navigation aid; if you don't like coloured backgrounds for Infobox section headings, fine, but you'll have to take up the fight elsewhere.
- I disagree that colons are unnecessary, but whatever, not worth arguing over. I've seen colons go into and out of Infobox templates a number of times over the years.
- I am also in the group of people that thinks 22em is too wide for most Infoboxes. {{Infobox}}, at its default size, will occupy almost a third of the browser's total width when maximized on a 1024-pixel wide screen. And that's a third of ~1000 pixels... a lot of people using mobile devices don't have that kind of luxury, and a lot of other people don't use fully-maximized browser windows. Frankly, it looks like shit, and I have some doubts that that particular decision was made through any kind of process beyond "hey, what's this wedged in my ass? i'll pull it out! oh, it's a 22!". 19 or 20em would work better for a wider range of display devices, and wouldn't infringe on the actual content of the article so much.
- Finally, the Infobox isn't a "table". It's a box containing information, which includes a list of name/value pairs (and a name/value pair is really stretching the definition of a "table", which is typically a construct that gives specific meaning to the X and Y axis), lists of articles, images, and other navigation elements. The notion that a table caption appears above the top of the table's border doesn't apply here. And again, it looks bad. If you aren't going to change it back, then I will. Warren -talk- 16:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- In order:
- transparent headers are also extremely common. I could rattle off a few examples too. And I already did "take up the fight elsewhere"; I took it up on the WikiProjects: I took it up on the {{infobox}} discussion; and I take it up periodically when people discuss further standardisation of infobox templates. The rest of the computing WikiProject uses them, which was my doing, and has done for some time now without opposition. So here I am "taking up the fight" with the last hold-out on the Project. If you'd like to give the argument for why it is that including an arbitrarily-coloured stripe aids in readability of the template significantly enough to overcome the drawback of the distraction it causes, then we can have that, but I'd rather it were done centrally on template talk:infobox.
- Cool, that's settled then. Again, I'd have no problem with these going back in if there were consensus on the issue. In fact, in the long run these could be automatically generated using the CSS :after pseudo-class. But that's something to discuss in the years ahead.
- Well, that the standard width "looks like shit" is definitely a minority position right now. I'd have to ask you to take up the fight elsewhere on this one. :)
- It's made from a <table>, uses semantically-valid HTML table constructs and classes, and presents data in a structured and tabular format. I don't think the definition of "table" you've given is what is generally meant by the term when discussing semantic HTML. As for it "looking bad", again, it's gone unopposed on a good deal of other templates, so this is an issue of personal preference. If you want to change it then it can be modified into an "above" attribute pretty easily, but I'd rather we had a wider discussion on the final outcome.

- /testcases. Warren's pre-infoboxing rev is in the /sandbox. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 20:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. I made a table so that they are now side-by-side. I can't believe there's an edit war over such small differences, but FWIW, I prefer the {{infobox}} version overall, but prefer the heading to be inside the box, as in the "Previous" version. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:58, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
- Windows 7 is one of the top 100 articles on Wikipedia. Windows Vista was in the top 20 when it was released. This template isn't off in some far-flung corner of the encyclopedia; tens of thousands of people see it every day. I've been working on the encyclopedia long enough to know that people need to be literally brow-beaten into producing something that looks good instead of focusing solely on the technical exercise of simply adding content, or consolidating for the sake of maintainability. The new {{Infobox}}-based template may be more maintainable, but given that there were only a handful of non-bot edits in the last year and a half, there's no solid justification for improving the maintainability at the expense of the visuals. Warren -talk- 00:00, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- That's a purely subjective call. Given that there has been no discussion on any of the other software templates regarding the styling, and that several articles using those infoboxen are higher placed than Windows 7 in the page view listings, this suggests that you're the only one who feels so. You're using "code versus looks" as a straw man, when in fact I believe that the new styling was more attractive as well as being more functional. Still, there's no time limit on getting these improvements rolled out; I'll take the issue to the WikiProject page. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 00:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Reference styling[edit]
So a change to have the references in the lede changed to use proper <ref></ref> tags instead of superscripted inline extlinks was reverted with a cryptic edit summary which I can only assume was meant to mean something like "I respectfully disagree that this is a productive change". I don't see why there's a reason for these links to be included inline instead of in the refs section - reference styling should be consistent within articles and that includes the infobox. Planning on restoring the use of proper ref tags here. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Os Cite needed[edit]
The "Os cite needed" is not working, if the release_version does not have a URL, still show "[info]" but with no link--Sotcr (talk) 01:42, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- I Mean, like in here [1], in the Preview_Release says (citation needed), but now that does'nt work --Sotcr (talk) 01:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Discussion at WP:SOFTWARE[edit]
I've opened a larger discussion of the styling issue over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software#Infobox discussion. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Six weeks later, there has been no opposition. This has been broadcast as widely as it can be put now; as such, in the continuing lack of opposition from anyone but the template author, I'm syncing this with the new sandbox code again. Any issues, please let me know. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Test cases. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
ref tag broken[edit]
It appears that some changes to this template have broken the element that generates the <ref> ... </ref> tags. This looks to be from the data9 and data10 elements in the template.
For examples, see:
- Windows 7 where the first entry in the references section is "[{{{preview_url}}} info]"
- Mac OS X v10.5 where the first two entries in the references section are: "[{{{first_release_url}}} info]" and "[{{{release_url}}} info]"
--- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know why the URLs aren't being formatted properly in the ref tags, but I've changed them to inline links again to fix this. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
proceeded by/succeeded by[edit]
Could we have:
- | header22 = proceeded by
- | data22 =
- | header23 = succeeded by
- | data23 =
Such that one can indicate Apple System 6 was succeeded by System 7 etc.. ? An alternative might be next/previous. Alternative:
- | label31 = Predecessor
- | label32 = Successor
Electron9 (talk) 09:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- I just swung by to ask for the exact same thing (only it's spelled preceded). I would love to just go through OSes and not have to hunt for the earlier OS. But looks like this was requested a year ago with no comment (I don't know if the addition was made to the template and the /doc page not updated). But if anyone's out there, a "preceded by" and "followed by" parameters in the infobox would be wonderful. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 00:26, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- galaxies 01:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC) Added. I tested it on my own sandbox, but obviously feel free to fix/revert and be sure to double-check my additions to the /doc page as well. Appreciated. – Kerαunoςcopia◁
Merging templates[edit]
When this template is merged with template:inforbox os could we create a section so for example it would look like it is now but you would for example do this to get version
{{inforbox os | os version = yes }}
So that it is still a different type of template compared to template:infobox os please 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:50, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi.
- Who says it is going to be merged? I tried to merge them twice but their technical differences are so huge, I aborted midway. Those carried-away flock of uninformed editors who blindly voted can sure try, but if I see a single problem with their merger, I'd revert.
- Best regards,
- Codename Lisa (talk) 02:50, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Completely new Infobox OS[edit]
There is no way we can merge Template:Infobox OS and Template:Infobox OS version, because as Codename Lisa said, there are huge and complex differences between the two infoboxes. My suggestion is that we create an entirely new Infobox OS, or at the very least add more parameters to the existing Infobox OS. It's not worth merging the infoboxes when there are huge differences between the two. That's my suggestion.
Warm regards, Helixsoft (Talk|Contributions|Templates|Userboxes) 15:20, 22 January 2014 (UTC).
- Hi. Joel Spolsky once wrote that it is only on TV that two quarreling kids are subdued by shouting louder than either of them. In real world, such an attempt would turn into a three-way quarrel. He says such was the case when someone tried to resolve the conflict between the incompatible RSS versions with an Atom specification.
- We have two infoboxes already. A third won't fix a problem. It only adds to the problem. A merge is out of question at the moment but something close will eventually happen, either by me or someone more experienced than me, or someone who just finds the delicate spot of compromise. When I was replying to the other user, I needed to snap him out of his daydreaming of bliss. The guest editor had assumed so much about the end result that was already making edit requests on the future template!
- Best regards,
- Codename Lisa (talk) 15:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
date parameter?[edit]
A user edited OS X Mavericks, saying "|date=June 2013" deleted from Infobox. Not sure what it is (doesn't display))", although they didn't actually remove that in the edit.
As a test, I tried changing the date parameter's value to "hello sailor" and previewing the article; it showed the article as being in the redlinked category "Articles with unsourced statements from hello sailor".
I then removed the "date=" parameter; the AnomieBOT put it back, with a value of March 2014.
Does a date=XXX parameter add the article to the category "Articles with unsourced statements from XXX"? Are some of the "Articles with unsourced statements from XXX" categories hidden, so that they don't show up?
Where, if anywhere, is that parameter documented? Guy Harris (talk) 20:13, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. Just checked the source code for your question. Unlike several other infoboxes, {{Infobox OS version}} does implement an actual
|date=parameter. You see this infobox implements
|preview_url=; if they are empty, the infobox inserts a {{Citation needed}} in their places and passes the
|date=parameter to {{Citation needed}}, which needs a date.
- Best regards,
- Codename Lisa (talk) 06:53, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Add frequently updated[edit]
Hi please add support for frequently updated. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Over my dead body! And over Jimbo Wales's dead body too: This parameter would be a recipe for a disaster called eternal state of sourcelessness, eternal undue weight, associated edit wars and version number vandalism. No! Let the sleeping devil lie! Hell, don't create the sleeping devil.

Bella Brite offered a free trial if you paid the shipping costs of $3.94 for the trial. When the trial came they also put in the box a full mounths supply and charge my credit card for the shipping costs another $94.00 for the complete months supply. I called them and ask to send the product back and they told me sorry once the product was charged to my account I could not retern it. Something should be done about this company as they are not following the guide lines of honest bussiness practices.This is criminal!

SidestepperView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The project of British producer Richard Blair, Sidestepper fuses a Latin aesthetic with the late '90s electronic dance music aesthetic, resulting in a dancefloor-friendly hybrid that presents a refreshing alternative to the often formulaic sound of electronic dance music. Blair first fostered his passion for Latin sounds while living in Colombia. Later, once he moved to the U.K., he found substantial interest and influence in the fledging British club scene, driven by DJ-spun electronic dance music records. Since few were exploiting the merger of these two sounds, Blair did just that, resulting in a fresh sound showcased first in late 1999 on the Logozo EP. A year later, a full-length album titled More Grip was released. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Reintegrating India with the World Economy
In the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, India was well integrated into the world economy, with its merchandise exports accounting for 4.5 per cent of the world total in 1913. But India saw a steady decline of its share over the course of the century, dropping to 2.9 per cent in 1950, and finally plunging to less than 0.5 per cent by the 1980s. The decline was largely attributed to a post-independence strategy of national self-sufficiency premised on a closed economy. As other countries in the region gradually liberalized their economies, India finally followed suit in the early 1990s. In this study, Professors Srinivasan and Tendulkar examine this history in greater detail and analyze its implications for today's India. They explore the hypothesis that had the country followed a different strategy, the country's GDP growth would have been more rapid and Indian trade would have grown even faster than GDP. Chapters focus on trade issues, external factors, and foreign direct investment. Looking to the future, the authors discuss India's role in the World Trade Organization, especially with regard to the proposed "Millennium Round" of multilateral negotiations and current attempts to relate trade to labour, environmental and human rights issues. The final chapter evaluates the process of economic reform and offers policy recommendations in this regard.

I'm using the most recent version of WordPress and the Redirection plugin.
I set up this link:
to redirect to this link:
I'm finding though that this link does not redirect:
It goes to a "Page not found" page.
However, my standard pages (not redirections), like
Both work and the trailing / is removed, so it finds the right page.
Do I have to create redirection with and without the trailing / so none of my links break to use the Redirection plugin or is there a quick fix for this problem?
I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but because I moved from blogger 3 years ago and don't want broken links, my permalinks are set to /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html and don't have a trailing slash.
Thanks so much!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & andy langton & goodroi
We have been at this since 1998 and have ecomm sites with over 200,000 products - no affiliate, adsense, reciprocals, purchased links, local issues or black hat. We have 1,000's of natural inbound links. Repeat customers represent over 50% of our sales. 6 pageviews per visit (not bad for ecomm). We were never touched by any of the major updates (ie Florida etc.).
We have been absolutely bludgeoned in the last couple of months - google organic referrals are down 50-70% (depending on which hour you check). Most all of our losses have come from our long tail keywords.
Obviously this isn't just an everflux spike or a silly mistake some young engineer made. It's clear that google actually thinks that they have improved the index. With this in mind, I have started issuing the pink slips.
A sad day for me....
1. Google Check out. When we put it on our site, we had more conversions. Shoppers tend to trust google so if they see google check out on your site they will be more likely to trust your site.
2. Better Business Bureau Seal on our site. Trust me, it was well worth the large cost. A few weeks ago I asked for input at this thread:
We took the plunge and paid the money. It had a huge impact on our business since our average transaction is $1000 plus. It targeted a certain group of shoppers, but it really has helped.
As far as google check out and adwords goes, we used to target 1st position in adwords. Since google is nice enough to put that little google check out graphic next to the ad, we watched the Click through ratio grow. Now we target either the second or third spot in adwords which costs us less and gets us the same click throughs.
No matter what, someone will copy your site. We've had it done many times. Now, one of our biggest competitors is a guy who continually buys our product and reverse engineers it. He runs an all frames, keyword loaded site that spwals, yet he is at #3! (again, so much for webmaster guidelines)
As far as offline advertising, keep this in mind: It also helps your competitors! We did a 10k full page ad in a magazine and it did our competition nearly as much good as ourselves. Customers get the picture, then do a search for that product to find other merchants.
I guess that's the case with all advertising, so maybe it's better to motivate your competitors to advertise!
Remember when Yahoo used to be bigger than Google? AOL was bigger than Yahoo? The net changes constantly! Google is a fad right now! The in thing. How long will it last? No one knows, but 10 years down the road we might be posting to threads about how we wish it was the good old days with Google.
General Motors once ruled the Earth.
To quote George Bernard Shaw:
"Rome fell. Babylon fell. Scarsdale's turn will come."
Shudder to imagine us all enslaved, though, to the business ethics of an AOL or MSN (though any ethical distinctions seem to evaporate with each passing day). Just imagine Bill Gates' diabolical little riff on "Do No Evil."
[edited by: luckychucky at 4:59 pm (utc) on Mar. 25, 2007]
(...)we were running adwords campaigns the ROI was so bad we finally just said to heck with it.. and we weren't even running content match .. just in google.com itself. It was terrible. Spent thousands to make hundreds.Phil_S:
I'm about ready to just ignore Google search results and adwords. Postcards are about .30 each, cheaper then google adwords and goes right into customers mail box.
I use(d) AdWords specifically for the keywords I'm NOT well-optimized for....that was the whole point, especially when using my competitors' names as keywords for legitimate comparative advertising, for which I won't be optimizing my site text or backlinkage. Google came out with their new 'Quality Score', aka: 'Minimum-Bid-Rigging' Adsense algo and bumped the CPC minimums for formerly very-high-CTR keywords up to $0.30, $0.50, even as high as $5.00 each. You'd think searchers' clickthroughs would be the best indicator of actual relevance to customer searches, if Google were not asleep.
Thanks, Phil_S. You just opened my eyes with a simple statement. That makes astoundingly good sense. I'm gonna pursue the rational alternative: snailMail postcards to rented mailing lists.
Before there was Google, there was traffic, and profits. There still are.
Then there was PPC, and then the 1 cent minimum bids went away. And the survivors adapted, despite the world ending again.
5 years from now, we'll probably look back and wish we still could buy clicks - at any price. Who knows.
Adapt. Succeed.
I like surfing the wave too, but when you hit the beach, its usually not a total suprise, or it shouldn't be. The end of the ride does not move and you can see it coming soon enough to change course.
I feel for the starter of this thread and anyone badly affected by downturns, but they are a fact of life and competition. All you can do is adapt and succeed - or die.
Echoing many of the astute posters in this thread - total reliance on free SE traffic is suicidal. Total reliance even on PAID traffic is foolish - the price will continue to go up until the market reaches max, and the deep pockets survive - just as the cycle plays out in every other media.
My personal opinion is that SE, PPC, and all online marketing added together should be a component of your marketing strategy. Businesses that are ONLY online, with no brick and mortar might be well served to consider using some of their profits to have a small B&M operation - just in case.
Does anyone remember how profitable direct response/mail order was, before the web was born?
PS. Yes, I'm an old goat, and made money in direct marketing before the web was born. The principles all still apply.
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket, even if the eggs were free.

There's a lot of great work in the Brick Flicks & Comics forum, but if you're busy or don't like browsing out of your favourite forum then they can be hard to find. Thus as a compromise we're trialling a single topic update/discussion topic. If you've finished a new comic/movie and wish to post updates please post links to it here. Discussion about updates are OK as well, but please keep any major conversation to the dedicated topic. In short;
1. Please continue to post all movies/comics in the Brick Flicks & Comics forum.
2. Post links to your comic/movie topic here.
3. Conversation is OK in moderation.
4. Only post to one of these theme topics; if a comic is cross-theme pick the best fit.
5. Don't just post links to off-site updates here without a topic in the Brick Flicks & Comics forum.
6. Don't just post new comics here without a topic in the Brick Flicks & Comics forum.
7. For the first few months feel free to post past comics/movies here.
These rules might be changed/expanded depending on how the trial goes. Just remember that the Brick Flicks & Comics forum is still the home to all LEGO movies/comics.
If you have any questions please ask them here.

By Adriana Salas, Missile Ranger Staff WriterJune 11, 2010
WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M., June 10, 2010 - With the current rate of childhood obesity more than tripling in the last 30 years, the Missile Ranger took a look at the situation at White Sands Missile Range as first lady Michelle Obama implements a new program to help combat the ongoing epidemic.
Obama's program titled, 'Let's Move", was developed to provide healthier lifestyle choices for children both at home and at school. According to the program's website, almost half of a child's daily calorie intake is consumed at school, where students are fed breakfast, lunch and have access to snacks. The new implementation will affect every school nationwide, to include schools on military bases.
For a large number of WSMR children the main source of nutrition and vitamins comes from what children eat at school and daycare centers on post.
"Many of the things they have been talking about we have already been working on," said Nancy Cathey, director of Food Services for Las Cruces Public schools.
Cathey said her staff works really hard to offer a variety of entrees for every school level and incorporates many oats, fruits, and whole grains into the menu. She said most of the breads used for hoagies and hamburger buns are made out of wheat.
When the "Let's Move" program becomes fully integrated, Cathey said you will not see many changes because providing healthy food has always been a top priority for the LCPS and will always continue to be a work in progress. Cathey's goal for schools in the oncoming years is to incorporate more wheat products into the program, substitute brown rice for white rice, and provide lower sodium foods for at least two or three of the lunches each week.
Shawn Ticho, a White Sands Elementary School parent, agrees with the variety of food offered. However, he feels the food could be of higher quality, but ultimately lets his son be the judge.
"He seems pretty happy with it," Ticho said. "I think they can make the food a little bit healthier, but you have to make food a little bit fun for the kids."
Jennifer Jojola, White Sands Missile Range's Health Promotion Center Coordinator, said it is important to monitor what your child is eating at school and daycare, because a child should have a recommended amount of dietary intake based on their age, gender, and amount of physical activity. Using the USDA's Dietary Reference Intake, a set of guidelines used for the daily intake of nutrients, when referring to calcium, a toddler between the ages of 1 and 3 should have an intake of 500 milligrams a day, where a child between the ages of 4 and 8 should intake about 800 milligrams a day. Jojola said that although schools that are federally funded must meet these requirements, it is up to the schools to choose how the requirements are met, and advises that, if economically possible, parents should pack their child's lunch to be able to cater to their child's nutritional needs.
"It would be near impossible for a mass production system to meet everyone's expectations, so a parent should be informed," Jojola said. "If there is a meal that doesn't work for you or your child, plan ahead and pack them a lunch or a snack."
Val Wright, a White Sands Elementary School parent, said she does just that when her child complains about the lunch to be served that day. Wright said her son's biggest criticism about the food is not the taste or variety, but the portion sizes being too small. The portion size or amount of essential nutrients does change as you grow older, Jojola said. According to DRI guidelines, a child between the ages of 4 to 8 needs at least 15 grams of protein, while a male between the ages of 14 and 18 needs 44 grams of protein a day.
"It needs to be healthy of course, and it appears to be healthy; he just doesn't feel like he gets enough," Wright said.
Both the Las Cruces Public School District and the Child Youth and School Services use USDA guidelines for their menu, which states that no more than 30 percent of a persons daily calorie count can come from fat, and that less than 10 percent needs to come from saturated fat. Schools are also asked to provide one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance, RDA, for the following: protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Calcium, and calories. The guidelines also state that though schools must meet these regulations, it is up to the school or organization to decide what foods to serve and how they are prepared and cooked.
"All the meals we offer are prepared at a centralized kitchen," said Denise Rodriguez, chief Child Youth and School Services. "We do not offer pre-packaged food."
CYSS provides breakfast, lunch and snacks to children that are cared for during and after school, from elementary to middle school. The menu that was provided for the week of May 10-14 offered a variety of fruits, oats and dairy products. "We try to make it as healthy as possible for our children, we have at least two different food groups in each menu," Rodriguez said.
According to Cathey, the LCPS district is currently attempting to integrate healthier items into their meals, but since they are allotted only a certain amount of funds, the integration of healthier, more expensive foods has weighed heavily on staffing.
"You have to do a whole balancing act all the way around," Cathey said. "That's the reason you do this slowly, so that you may be able to afford it."
The Federal Government has recently reauthorized the National School Lunch Program to increase the amount of funds reimbursed to school districts to $2.70 for each free meal they provide to a child. In 2009 the LCPS district received only $2.59 per each free meal. Cathey said 22 cents of that amount would go to milk, which would leave them with only a small margin to work with. With the increase in funds and lowering of food prices, to include milk, Cathey said the LCPS district will be able to purchase healthier foods for the students without affecting staffing numbers.
Cathey said 90 percent of elementary school students eat lunch at school, compared to only 30 percent of high school students eating lunch at school. Cathey attributes the 60 percent decrease for high school students to the fact that they are allowed to leave campus during lunch time. Cathey said high school students are offered a choice of five to seven entrees each day, but many of them prefer to eat at fast-food chains outside school grounds.
"If I don't like the lunch here I usually bring my own lunch, but that is usually about once a year," said Morgan Burch, a middle school student at White Sands Schools.
Burch and his friends had few complaints about the school lunches; however, all agreed that if they get stuck at the back of the lunch line they had little to no options on what they would be eating that day. Burch said the lunches are fairly priced and he, along with his friends, agreed that they would like to see a greater variety of food.
"I don't really feel too good about the pizza, it's always just cheese," said Christine Wicker, a middle school student. "I don't find the taste that appealing; I'd like more chicken sandwiches."
Both the LCPS district and CYSS said they accommodate any dietary needs children may have. Cathey added that the LCPS district is looking at bringing in greater vegetarian options for their students. Both menus are available upon request.
"Getting involved and providing feedback regarding school meals, along with becoming an active participant, can have a tremendous impact on what your child is being served and their future food habits," Jojola said.

Washington (AP) Some families head to federal court in Washington today, arguing that there is a connection between a mercury-based preservative used in childhood vaccines and autism.
Two 10-year-old boys from Oregon will serve as test cases for whether thousands of families who've filed claims should be compensated.
Many members of the medical community are skeptical of the families' claims. They worry that the claims about the dangers of vaccines could cause some people to skip getting vaccines that prevent illness.
