Kellie Pickler Dances Wonderfully Again, Len Gets Booed for Low Score [VIDEO]
Last night Kellie Pickler danced stunningly and nearly perfect once again, doing the Viennese Waltz, and later the Paso Doble. Everyone loved both dances, except for Len who puzzled everyone with his low score of 7 on the Doble. I have my own theories. Watch the videos and see for yourself.

Most recently, PTF has supported CSOs in implementing a range of successful projects in sub-Saharan Africa, concentrating on Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon and Ghana.
Projects in Africa have varied from preventing misappropriation of malaria medicines to increasing transparency in the local education system. In Cameroon, the CSO ASYOUSED applied a successful communication plan by distributing a "Development Corner" newsletter that clearly informed the community of the project's goals. In Kenya, the CSO Act! developed regular in-country project monitoring of their efforts to reduce educational sector corruption.
PTF is currently piloting the Citizen Action Platform (CAP) in Uganda and soon Kenya. This innovative anti-corruption program uses information and communications technology (ICT) to enable citizens to gather data on governance and service-delivery issues at local communal levels and strengthen the ability of CSOs to respond effectively.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
For those caught in this this don't panic, there are ways out of it, makes it easier if you have a lawyer in the family but even without you too will be ok. Details how to survive will be included at the end so keep reading.
All the red flags are there.
1. They do not let you use the washroom alone or leave the presentation at any other time. If you do use the washroom because you tell them you have diarrhea they escort you.
2. They turn your cell phone off if you have one. [continued below]....
3 .All couples get seated a distance away from one another with each couple getting a rep. This makes it so you can't mingle and share concerns.
4. The room is located in a bank which they use as a tactic to legitimize the operation, in reality they are using your non refundable 250.00 to rent space only and they move around to all the lucrative center.
5. They cheap out on COSTCO half bottles of water and 10% Kona coffee which I believe is actually NO NAME. Then try say cost savings to you in advertising sending a message they are saving YOU valuable dollars to put toward the lower costs of condos etc which really translates into they are a CHEAP LOW BUDGET SCUMMY COMPANY.
6. The people doing all the talking and "ruhaw" in the audience are plants, think about it they don't let you mingle but you sure can express how wonderful the product is.
7. The speaker is well a little twerp that bounces like a bunny from one side of the floor to other to beef up the enthusiasm when really he probably acting that way because he just snorted your hard earned cash up his nose and he is full of adrenalin the whole family is in the business and they look like a bunch of "coke heads" with.....JUST DREAMS LMFAO.
8. They escort you to a room to negotiate buying prices and any company that can afford to charge one couple 6995.00 and another 5995.00 and the other 3995.00 and even 1995.00 you know is just trying to make up for revenue, revenue of their own. SHADY .
9. Can't afford it!!! finance through them, that one don't even bother no record of what the financial company is so it is not legit, it's their money which really is your money.
10. The Just Dreams book take a close look at all the papers on the inside, no where does it indicate JUST DREAMS on the glossy folders inside, cheap at that, so basically every time they get caught they only have to change the name on the Binder as opposed to all documentation.
11. Speaking of documentation notice even the credit card receipt has no name or registration number, clearly not legit. No one sign their full names except NIKE, she is not quite up to speed on it's a man's world still and she ain't in the "boys club".....
12. Walking you out after you buy and paying for your taxi back to the hotel, clearly there to defend off all of us pissed off enough to sit outside and warm other buyer beware consumers.
All in all we counted about 114 red flags but it is to difficult to write all of them and HONESTLY, they have trolls that sit and read and try to wipe out all the negative feedback so that they are less affected. They also use the tips to improve on but I may be giving more credit where it IS NOT due.
Just say no at the end, you will be treated poorly but you will have your money and no losses other than your regular hourly occupational rate.
If you did say yes and need to get out, first cancel your credit card. Call Equifax as well. Identify that you authorized payment but now are retracting because you researched the product to be a scam. You have reported it to the police. You must identify that you had no option to test the product in house (this is very important) otherwise you have test drove the product and felt it was good enough to purchase.
Try not to go back to return the documentation without police escort as the big bro is a fast talking scum bag about 3/10 in talking but he is very aggressive and will find a way to intimidate you be it through words or his very physical had slap and grip. Pretty good strength for a weanie and I don't mean his "WEANIE" because I don't even think he has balls LOL. The other option is mail it it but then you have to pay more of your hard earned dollars.
Call BBB, the HI POLICE, the consumer report of HI as they are awaiting only 2 more complaints and this could shut them down. A class action law suit if anyone is wanting to can get the names of the people from the honolulu consumer protection agency and get in to get back any lost funds. It will take time and effort but you will get monies owed in the end.
More to follow as we wiat for more info from a lawyer in the family.
Don't worry BE HAPPY

This stuff is wonderful! I have had new dentures for about a week and there was this place on my gums that my dentures was rubbing and it was very sore..Nothing else helped but benzodent is terrific. I put it on my gums where it was hurting really bad in one spot and put my dentures back in and it stopped the pain imediately! It was like a cushion I LOVE IT!! It last for hours. The pain was GONE!!! I highly recomend this product. :)
Lives up to pain relief claims.
Great for sore gums due to dentures that don't QUITE fit properly...
I have used this product for years off & on with good results. Am very disappointed I have not been able to find this at my Wal Mart stores for the last month or so. What is going on? Would like to see this back on the shelf again soon. Terry
This is a wonderful product for any type of dental pain. Nothing works better.
love it
Bought this for my Mom. It seems to have helped some - the jury is still out.
Couldn't find this product anywhere except at WalMart online!!! Keep up the good work!!

I wanted to know if there exists a solution to group a set of products by a particular seller. For example John sells product X, Y and Z and Paul sells product A, B, C. It would be nice to group products A, B, C under a seller group "Paul" for example. I'm searching for a way to track the total amount ($) sold by John and Paul separately. The only way I see is to track individual products by SKU which doesn't help. :(
Any solutions? If not is there plans for such a feature soon? Thank you.

ANCHORAGE - To help prevent the spread of swine flu, the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center said no one under age 12 may visit patients this flu season.
The virus is most prevalent among children, and hospital officials say keeping them away will protect the health of patients, workers and visitors.
The policy remains in effect until the hospital decides the high risk of exposure has passed.

I'm Sindbad the Sailor, so hearty and hale,Possibly the peak of Popeye the Sailor's cartoon career during The Golden Age of Animation, this lavishly animated, full-color, two-reeler 16-minute theatrical cartoon from 1936 brings together a crisply paced plot with impressive action scenes and comedy. Oh, and awesome 3-D backgrounds too (courtesy of Fleischer Studios' trademark "tabletop" technique).The short starts off with a close-up on the isle of Sindbad the Sailor, and not long after we see the man himself, he begins his epic villain boast song, complete with amazing live-action model set and animation blending, ending with the introduction of Popeye himself, singing his theme song.Wimpy) to save Olive Oyl.The short was a smash hit when it was released, resulting in two follow-ups being done within the next few years. It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1936, but lost to the now obscure Silly Symphonies short The Country Cousin. Fortunately, this cartoon got a better reward later on — it got selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.This cartoon is in the Public Domain and can be viewed online.This short was popular enough to recieve a follow-up in 1937, Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves.
I live on an island, on the back of a whale,
It's a whale of an island! (That's not a bad joke.)
Its lord and its master is this handsome bloke.
Whooooo's the most remarkable, extraordinary fellow?!
(Lions Roar) Sindbad, the Sailor!
I live on an island, on the back of a whale,
It's a whale of an island! (That's not a bad joke.)
Its lord and its master is this handsome bloke.
Whooooo's the most remarkable, extraordinary fellow?!
(Lions Roar) Sindbad, the Sailor!
— The Opening Villain Song
Tropes Associated With This Short:
- Adaptational Villainy: Sindbad, who goes from the somewhat kindly (if ruthless) man of experience of the stories to an arrogant, kidnapping blowhard.
- Animation Bump: In spades. The animation is noticably more fluid and detailed this time around, and that's not even taking into the account the lush, rich Technicolor and amazing model set backgrounds.
- The Beast Master: Sindbad has a myriad of fantastic creatures on his island that both respect and fear him, among them: Lions, Leopards, Tigers, Vultures, Snakes, Serpents, Dragons, Ape Men, and even a Roc and a two-headed Giant!
- Black Comedy: Wimpy chasing a duck with a hand-held meat grinder to turn it into hamburger meat. (Don't worry, it gets away.)
- Bullet Dancing: Sindbad does this to Olive Oyl by shooting pellets through a straw.
- Cranial Eruption: When Popeye hits one of Boola's heads, the other head gets the lump.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Popeye doesn't have a chance before eating spinach, at which point Sindbad has no chance.
- Damsel in Distress: Olive Oyl, as usual.
- Deadpan Snarker: The first thing Popeye says after Sindbad's giant bird wrecks his ship? "Oh, that was a nice boat we once had."
- Digital Destruction: The print included on the official Popeye DVD is a very good restoration — save for some truly bizarre color alterations, which pumped up the pink, purple and turquoise on the print! On that note, Sindbad's outfit was originally purple, but is now bright blue in this print!
- DVD Commentary: John Kricfalusi and his pals provide one for the first official Popeye DVD set. A second commentary, supplied by historians Jerry Beck, Ray Pointer, Bob Jacques and Leslie Cabarga, appears for it on the Warner Bros. Academy Awards Collection DVD set.
- Evil Is Hammy: Bluto as Sinbad the Sailor.
- Expy: Sindbad, Bluto, Brutus.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Popeye makes some pretty risqué comments, but they are muttered under his breath.
- Giant Flyer: Sindbad's giant bird, which probably recalls the Roc of the original Sindbad story.
- "I Am" Song: "I'm Popeye the Sailor-man!"
- Instant Roast: Sindbad's roc takes Popeye to a volcano. Popeye returns with a giant roast chicken, "with gravy".
- Kick the Dog: In Sindbad's case it's more like "Slap The Lion."
- Leitmotif: Wimpy gets one in the short. It's most noticeable when he pops up inside Sindbad's fortress.
- The Load: Wimpy just tags along with Popeye and gets distracted by a local duck that he wants to eat, and then sits on the sidelines after he fails to catch it. He contributes absolutely nothing to helping Popeye rescue Olive.
- Multiple Head Case: The two-headed giant "Boola".
- Nightmare Face: At one point Bluto says "boo" while singing and makes an awfully creepy face for a few seconds.
- The Pawns Go First: Sindbad has a couple of his conquered minions take on Popeye first before taking matters into his own hands.
- Public Domain Animation: The short's copyright is expired, so it's not uncommon to see this cartoon show up on dollar store Public Domain cartoon collections.
- Rapid-Fire Nail Biting: Olive bites her nails like a typewriter.
- Shout-Out: Sindbad mentions King Kong when talking about his two-headed ettin slave.Sindbad: He'd frighten King Kong, but he's only my stooge!
- Shown Their Work: The Fleischer brothers and their studio pulled out all stops for this cartoon, and boy howdy, does it show, resulting in much Scenery Porn and all-around Eye Candy in general. The storytelling and pacing also received much attention to detail.
- Something Completely Different: Due to its out-of-nowhere adventure story nature, that feels very different from the usual locales of Popeye's world.
- This Is a Drill: How Popeye gets through Sindbad's wall, also the twister punch.
- Turtle Island: In the opening song, Sindbad says that his island is "on the back of a whale". However, the whale itself is never shown.
- Universal-Adaptor Cast: One of the earliest examples of this in a Popeye cartoon. While Popeye, Olive Oyl and Wimpy are themselves, the cartoon is taking place during the days of Sindbad, with Bluto playing the role (as a villain).
- Villain Song: "Oh, who's the most remarkable," etc.
- Whole Episode Flashback: This short was later remade by Famous Studios in 1952 as "Big Bad Sindbad", which is essentially the same cartoon, only with a Framing Device where Popeye and his nephews go to a museum and encounter a giant statue of Sindbad, prompting Popeye to recount his fateful encounter with the sailor. Once Popeye was done with the story, the nephews chiseled the statue into that of Popeye in his honor. Understandably, a lot of footage from the original cartoon had to be cut to make way for the new material.
- Wind from Beneath My Wings: Sindbad's giant bird can do this.

Big Lottery Fund
|This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (October 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Non-departmental public body
|Community Fund and New Opportunities Fund
|1 June 2004
Big Lottery Fund is a non-departmental public body responsible for distributing funds raised by the National Lottery for "good causes". Since 2004 it has awarded over £6.2 billion to more than 130,000 projects across the UK.[citation needed]
Big Lottery Fund aims to support projects which help communities and the lives of people it considers most in need. Over 80 per cent of its funds go to voluntary and community organisations, but it also makes grants to statutory bodies, local authorities and social enterprises.
Big Lottery Fund makes grants to projects working in health, education and the environment and the charitable sector. It funds projects in line with objectives set by the government but does not fund services which other parts of government have a statutory responsibility to deliver.
"Additionality" principle[edit]
According to its Annual Report,[1] Big Lottery Fund uses the following definition of "additionality": "Lottery funding is distinct from Government funding and adds value. Although it does not substitute for Exchequer expenditure, where appropriate it complements Government and other programmes, policies and funding."
The income of all the Lottery distributors[2] comes from the sale of National Lottery tickets. Of every £2 spent on a Lottery ticket 56 pence (28 per cent) goes to the "good causes". The current operator of the National Lottery is Camelot.
Big Lottery Fund is the largest of the Lottery distributors, with an income of about £600 million a year. The Fund is responsible for distributing 40 per cent of funds raised for "good causes" (roughly 23 pence of every £2 spent on a Lottery ticket).
Big Lottery Fund does not operate projects but allocates funds to organisations which operate projects. As part of the application process for funding, the Fund requires funded organisations to outline the difference that should come about as a result of its funding.
The Fund uses a variety of methods to distribute funding. Most of its grants go to voluntary and community organisations which apply within a range of funding programmes. However, in certain cases to meet a specific need, the Fund will also seek applications from organisations with recognised expertise or make a substantial grant to a partner to award funds on its behalf.
Big Lottery Fund came into being on 1 June 2004, with the merger of two Lottery distributors – the National Lottery Charities Board (whose operating name was Community Fund) and the New Opportunities Fund. Big Lottery Fund was formally established by the National Lottery Act 2006. The Act gave the new body the extra responsibility of managing projects funded by the Millennium Commission.
Although the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has overall responsibility for the National Lottery, Big Lottery Fund receives policy and financial directions from the Office for Civil Society (OCS) which is part of the Cabinet Office and the devolved governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The strategic direction of the Big Lottery Fund is decided by a Board made up of a Chair and nine Board members. The Fund's decision-making on grants is devolved to country committees for each of the four UK countries – England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The chairs of these country committees sit on the main Board. Each of the four countries runs their own funding programmes, based on particular priorities and needs.
The Big Lottery Fund Chair is Peter Ainsworth.
The day-to-day running of Big Lottery Fund is under the responsibility of senior management team, made up of the Chief Executive, five directors and two deputy directors.
Dawn Austwick is the Big Lottery Fund's Chief Executive.
Funding programmes[edit]
A complete list of the programmes that the Big Lottery Fund has funded can be found on the Big Lottery Fund website.[3]
Programmes funded include:
Wisdom Bank[edit]
£250,000 was given to the Wisdom Bank, a website project to "harness the experience and skills of people in the 45 to 65 age group for the wider benefit of the community of Torfaen". In two years the site only registered 340 users, before being taken over by Torfaen council. A member of the council's audit committee criticised the spending of further public money on the site and said that lottery funding should not have been given to a project with a flawed business plan and whose purpose could have been equally well served by using social media.[4]
Forces in Mind[edit]
£35 million has been invested by the Big Lottery Fund on the Forces in Mind Trust (FIMT), a partnership of UK forces charities and mental health organisations, led by the Confederation of Service Charities (COBSEO). It has been given partnership support from the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry which will back the Trust with its own grants over a three-year programme as well as helping raise awareness of the issues facing veterans.[5] Over the next 20 years, FIMT will provide UK-wide long-term support and advocacy for Service personnel and Veterans to make a successful transition to civilian life.[6] The focus will be on addressing a range of problems that some ex-service personnel and their families can experience back in civilian life,[7] such as poor mental health,[8] family breakdown and alcohol-related problems.
Supporting Change and Impact[edit]
Supporting Change and Impact is an initiative helping the Fund's grant holders, helping them to plan future service delivery in a challenging funding environment.[9]
Silver Dreams Fund[edit]
The Silver Dreams Fund is a programme run in association with the Daily Mail.[10] The Fund is posing a challenge to the voluntary and community sector to come up with great ideas for projects that will pioneer ways to help vulnerable older people deal more effectively with life-changing events.
Heroes Return2[edit]
Heroes Return2 funds veterans, their families, spouses and carers to visit the places where they saw action in the Second World War or to take part in commemorative events in the UK.[11][12]
Improving Futures[edit]
The Improving Futures programmes helps children from families who have complex and multiple needs.[13][14][15][16][17]
Big Fund[edit]
The National Lottery Act 2006 gave Big Lottery Fund the powers to handle non-Lottery as well as Lottery funding.
Big Lottery Fund has managed non-Lottery programmes on behalf of OCS, the Department for Education and the Welsh Assembly Government.
The organisation's non-Lottery funding is branded distinctly and promoted independently from Lottery funding.
Big Potential[edit]
The Big Potential programme delivers grant funding to eligible charities and social enterprises with the aim of improving the sustainability, capacity and scale of organisations in order that they may deliver greater social impact.[18][19] The programme is run by Social Investment Business and its £20m investment pool will close in 2017.[20]

I've read through forum after forum, but I can't seem to find the answer to this (seemingly) simple question: I use the blix theme, and it only displays the "comment" field by default, and doesn't offer user options for "name", "e-mail" and "url".
An example of this can be seen at: http://www.brosha.com/?p=142#comments
Thus, every post then displays as "Anonymous". This is annoying. Tweaking with settings (which I've since reverted), I can get it to display these fields but they're meaningless. All information entered goes into a black hole, and then the "finished" comment still says "Anonymous", without the additional information.
Where am I missing the code the controls which fields are displayed after a user enters a comment?
A big old slobbery kiss to anyone that can help me with this. Or a bottle of Spray-9 to keep me away. Either/or

Hi there!
First: <3 this plugin! Thanks for that!
Second: Is there a way the first answer could already be opened when the page loads? Some pages look kinda "naked" with -maybe- only 4 rows of text when the accordian is still closed on startup.
Third: I tried to put a "NextGen-Gallery"-Shortcut ( [nggallery id="X"] ) under H4-tagged headings, but the gallery itself didn´t disappear - only the text beneath the H4 was "accordianated". Any solution?
Thanks in advance!

hi there,
first let me say I love the plugin, its awesome.
my question is, I am using the piwik.php method of tracking so that all my sites aren't pointing to the same piwik server in the code at the footer.
example of the tracking code I use:
<script type="text/javascript">
var pkBaseURL = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://##DOMAINBEINGTRACKED##.com/" : "http://##DOMAINBEINGTRACKED##.com/");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + pkBaseURL + "piwik.php' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script><script type="text/javascript">
try {
var piwikTracker = Piwik.getTracker(pkBaseURL + "piwik.php", ##SITENUMBER##);
} catch( err ) {}
note that piwik.php is used instead of .js as well as the ## variables, etc.
I do this so it's not so easy for my competition to figure out what all sites I have in my network, having no central piwik server definied.
the ##DOMAINBEINGTRACKED## being the site I'm gathering stats on vs. pointing at that central piwik server.

I recently went to the ophthalmologist because I have been having some eye trouble. It started out with ghosting and glare around images and lights like if there is light text on a black background I will see a faint transparent image of the same thing above it or if I look at flourescent lighting there seems to be another light on top of it that moves up and down with each step .. it seems to be worse during the day and at night it is better but I have major halos.. the opthamologist did a thorough exam and ruled my
eyes healthy I have had a slight astigmatism but why would I suddenly start to see this bad? I have had major anxiety and my mom thinks that\'s what's causing it but I think my eyes are causing me anxiety ... its making me miserable is there's something the doctor missed? he's supposed to be one of the best! or is it really related to my anxiety / depression ? or allergies? my eyes are very dry and the sr gave me eye drops but I think I'm too young to have dry eye? help!

Hi marie, i have the same eye problems and more. I see after images of things, words, and lines, especially if they are against a light background or if its a fashing or blinking light. For example, i can see an after image of a blinking car light when i look away. I also see the halo, which is worse at night and seem to have a slight astigmatism as well. In addition, my eyes are light sensitive - i have to wear sunglasses wherever i go and fluorescent lights hurt my eyes alot. I am seeing tiny specks of light zipping across light backgrounds and developed floaters. All of my symptoms developed very suddenly. I have never had eye problems before and in fact do not even wear glasses. I have had other symptoms - anxiety, depression in the past, neck pain, numbness and tingling, tremors (hands would shake for no reason), buzzing in the ears, sometimes ear pain, sometimes a gritty sandy feeling in the eyes, bubbling feeling under the skin. I went to see a lyme literate doctor and although my bloodwork came back negative for lyme, he is treating me for it based on clinical symptoms. I have not seen much improvement in vision since being on the antibiotics but i have only started treatment. That is my story. I would be interested to know if you ever figure out the cause of your eye problems.

I have had floaters since I was about 12 years old. There was maybe one or two back then, now I have dozens between my two eyes. As of about 5 years ago, when I was about 18/19 years old I began to notice spots in my vision mainly when I was outside. I went to the optometrist and they said that there was nothing wrong with my eyes. That was good enough for me. As the years went on I noticed the "sparkling/swirling" white dots more and more. Now I'm 24 years old and I CANNOT go outside without wearing sunglasses and can still see the moving dots even with my sunglasses on. As if that wasn't enough, over the last year I began having very dry eyes. Especially at night. I wake up about three to five times a night to put gel eye drops in my eyes to keep them lubricated, as well as keeping a humidifier by my bed, which doesn't seem to make much of a difference. In addition to that my right eye has had this very large "blur" or "halo" effect around it which has been very annoying especially at night. Then last night I began seeing this "vertical ghosting" while driving home I was noticing some kind of double vision while looking at street lights, signs, and even the moon. But only in my left eye. I have anxiety so naturally I was panicking. Doing research online since it's a Sunday and no doctors are around to see me. I assume they will tell me nothing is wrong like usual and I'm going to go on with yet another visual problem.

Hello there,
After going to 2 opthamologists who didn't seem too worried about my symtpoms being neurological, it was discovered that I have dry eyes from the birth control pill I am on which was causing light to scatter causing the ghosting and halos.
I have other symptoms of anxiety too like fatigue and dizziness but I don't feel anxious my anxiety has lessened I still worry. I hope the dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog are all anxiety

Hope you still see this 3 years later. Did the problem get better? I have the exact same symptoms as you, no more and no less. Doctor only found dry eye and slight astigmatism. Dry eye was due to blocked oil glands, so I tried heat compresses as the Dr recommended, but this didn't change my visual symptoms. And eyeglasses for the mild astigmatism helped darken text on a computer screen, but did not change the ghosting/glare/halos. I still have the effect with light text on a dark background creating a ghost image, also above it (like you), also with each eye (alternating closing the other eye), and I also tried the pinhole test.
I don't have any of the extraneous symptoms the other posters brought up, like neurological ones, and the "sparkling/swirling light dots" that Justin mentioned - those swirling dots are normal, everyone sees this against a clear blue sky if the lighting conditions are right. It's caused by red blood cell trails following the movement of white blood cells in the blood vessels of the back of the eye, which reflects the blue wavelength of the sky. I've been researching my symptoms, and every forum I find is full of people bringing up totally unrelated symptoms like this and obfuscating the subject of the thread. It's so common that it's making me angry - look people, EVERYONE HAS FLOATERS, and they increase with age, and you'll see them if you keep paying attention to them.
Now, back to Mary1107's symptoms, which actually match mine - this is something I've not found any explanation for, so I'd like to know how it turned out. My ophthalmologist also didn't find any trace of cataracts or corneal opacities, both which cause these symptoms, so it is a real mystery.

Untitled from the series Oral Fixation: A Portrait Of Bulimia
Category: People
Photo and caption by Allison Jarek
This photograph is from a series I've been working on documenting a close friend of mine and her struggle with bulimia. The series examines her behaviors, belongings, and environment in an attempt to understand why she is the way she is. In this particular image, I managed to capture an honest moment of frustration and weariness in the midst of her self-directed scrutiny.

I use a function that takes an uploaded image, say 5mb, resizes it based on WP settings then deletes the original file, renames the LARGE thumbnail to the ORIGINAL name. I do this because I don't want gigs and gigs of uploaded user content.
Everything works great as WP sees the renamed file as the original in case I need to recreate thumbnails but when I use Ajax Thumbnail Rebuild it keeps deleting my file that was renamed to the original.
Any idea why it would delete that file?

Kitesurfing Adventure Tours from Cairns and Port Douglas
Do you want to go to a place where the wind always blows, the waters are warm and clear and the beach is your own?
Australian Kite Surfari will take you there! Our exclusive location is on traditional Aboriginal grounds, north of Cooktown. Australian Kite Surfari is the only one with special permission to take tours there.
Strong, constant trade winds off Cape Flattery, Queensland mean these Surfaris are ideal for experienced kiters. With only a handful of non kiteable days in our season, it's not surprising we have become the kite destination of choice for so many kiters.
Here at Australian Kite Surfari we don't just advertise adventure, we live it. Our cabins are only meters from the water's edge, so you are never far from the action. Access to our camp is at low tide, as the tide comes in we are cut off from the rest of the world. No crowds, just consistently strong trade winds, warm water and a group of like-minded people surrounded by nature.
No one else can take you up from Cairns and Port Douglas, to this ideal, secret kitesurfing spot. We have kilometres of flat water lagoons, that are only waist deep, with soft silica sand (not coral) so it's not hard on your feet or your gear.
If you have a kitemare you can walk to shore, but we also have a support boat at the ready if needed. We have kite buggies to tear up and down the beach for some land thrills, or you can just chill in a hammock and take in the beauty of our location. Be as busy, or relaxed, as you like.
Australian Kite Surfari's expeditions will bring you the best of the Australian outback, wilderness, rainforest and of course … the wind! There's two tour types to choose from, our traditional four day / three night adventures and our extended seven day / six night expeditions. You can expect: lots of wind, adventure, nature, golden sands, warm water and the ocean to yourself.
The very best of the Australian outback, wilderness, rainforest and of course … the wind!
Let Australian Kite Surfari take you to a place where the wind always blows. Over 50 years of wind data can't be wrong. Check out the wind stats and be amazed at the average wind strengths and constant direction that guarantees the perfect kite surfing elements. Australia's most consistent trade winds blast across the Coral Sea and provide world class conditions.
At Australian Kite Surfari, we don't just advertise adventure, we live it. We run a regular season of 4 day and 7 day kite surfari adventure holidays, which often book out well in advance. The 2016 season dates are as follows.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDVN 242048 CCA AFDDVN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 348 PM CDT WED AUG 24 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 309 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 The main synoptic front is located from northeast Iowa to north central Kansas as of 2 pm today. Along this boundary last night, several areas of very heavy rainfall took place, with training storms and efficient rainfall processes. This resulted in swaths of 5 to 8 inches of rain in northeast Iowa, as well as 1 to 3 inch amounts over our central and southeast CWA. The PWAT values remain around 2 inches along the front today, and this sets up the stage for another round of potential flooding rains tonight. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday) ISSUED AT 309 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Earlier on today, I issued a flash flood watch for locations generally along Interstate 80 where heavy rains fell last night, and the ground is now fully saturated. Tonight, it appears models may be too far south with the axis of heaviest rain. It appears a band or at least a secondary band of heavy rain should be found along the surface front as it slowly progresses east through eastern Iowa. The short wave in northeast KS/southeast NE will bring a new round of widespread thunderstorms with torrential rainfall, as PWAT values hover near 2 to 2.25 inches and synoptic forcing increases with the passage of a 125 KT jet streak through southern Minnesota tonight. The flow is southwesterly ahead of the boundary, which is parallel to it, and training storms have recently formed in southeast NE showing that effect of the wind field. Earlier CAMS runs suggest that storms along the front will move northeast, into a CAPE rich environment over eastern Iowa. This would bring a threat of training thunderstorms and flash flooding by mid evening over counties near Interstate 80, and possibly south. Overnight, a large MCS should also develop in northern Missouri, possibly directly affecting our southern counties. This MCS supported by high PWAT values and strong upper diffluence from the 125 KT jet streak, will likely contain a large stratiform rain shield with efficient rainfall processes. That rain shield will most certainly affect our CWA and pops overnight are forecast categorical for that reason. I do not think we will have much severe weather, with the surface winds veered along the front and little dry air aloft. However, should the bowing segment lift into our southern CWA tonight, some stronger winds may be possible. Tomorrow morning, the front should sweep moisture and remaining convergence east, ending rains early. Clouds and weak cold advection should help limit highs to the upper 70s to lower 80s. ERVIN .LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Thursday Night...Midwest remains beneath long-fetched southwest mid-level flow, right entrance region of an upper-level jet, and within the 850mb baroclinic zone. The good news is that models have the low-level convergent boundary pushing southward through most of the forecast area, taking the anomalously high PWATs greater than 1.50" with it. Rain Chances: Have slight chances for showers and storms for the far SW, negligible forcing for ascent should preclude anything significant. The NAM brings heavy precip into the SE CWA, but this is the outlier solution and was mostly ignored. For low temps, looking at mid 50s NW to lower 60s I-80 and south. Friday...Increasing 850-500mb SW flow forecast to advect the higher PWATs right back into E Iowa/NW Illinois. But, the strength of an embedded 500mb vorticity max is in question. And for that reason, POPs are low - at or below 20%. Sfc dewpoints will take some time to respond to the SE sfc winds. Expect comfortable humidity levels with dewpoints in the upper 50s to lower 60s, pushing the mid 60s far south. Friday Night through Saturday...Possibility for a convectively induced vorticity max to roll through the Upper Mississippi Valley, especially Friday night into Saturday. The main mid-level trough axis is forecast to slide through North Dakota, South Dakota, and into Minnesota. For E Iowa/NW Illinois, convective chances seem to be more dependent on convective complexes forming within the greater instability over Nebraska and Kansas Friday afternoon. We will then have to watch how this possible MCS evolves to the ENE. Thunderstorm Threats: Similar to the past several events, heavy rainfall rates and localized flash flooding are the main threats. Anomalous PWATs approaching 1.75" are near the 90th percentile for the end of August according to the NAEFS. Saturday Night through Wednesday...Continued warm and humid. Temps in the lower 80s for highs, dewpoints well into the 60s or occasionally lower 70s. Have lower end POPs of 20-40% in the forecast. However, there will be plenty of prolonged dry periods. At this time, models are forecasting an absence of shortwave troughs across the Midwest; therefore rain chances are likely to be contingent on mesoscale boundaries or instability gradients. Uttech && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon) ISSUED AT 1224 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Skies will be improving to VFR around 18Z if not already in place at that time as the last remnants of the widespread thunderstorms move east. After a clear to scattered afternoon, more showers and thunderstorms will redevelop over central and southern Iowa, moving into eastern Iowa by mid to late evening. These storms will bring torrential rainfall rates, and poor visibilities as they encounter terminals. That said, we are forecasting a broad period of MVFR with thunderstorms until we can time in the stronger periods. Late tonight, rains may continue to be widespread, but thunder will gradually become less frequent, and MVFR cigs will continue, possibly IFR. A cold front arriving early Thursday morning will bring VFR CIGS and good visibilities. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 309 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Flash flooding will be possible in the counties generally along and south of Interstate 80 tonight as efficient rainfall process and storm training allow for areas of 1 to 4 inches of rainfall. This may bring the threat of significant rises and flooding to area tributary rivers but nothing we can specifically forecast at this early hour. The Mississippi river is forecast to rise to action stage at many sites especially from the Quad Cities downstream. This is primary due to flash flooding rains last night upstream. Additional heavy rain may change these forecasts but the placement north or south of the heavy rain band will greatly determine this impact. ERVIN && .DVN Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IA...Flash Flood Watch from 7 PM CDT this evening through Thursday morning for Cedar-Des Moines-Henry IA-Jefferson-Johnson- Keokuk-Lee-Louisa-Muscatine-Scott-Van Buren-Washington. IL...Flash Flood Watch from 7 PM CDT this evening through Thursday morning for Bureau-Hancock-Henderson-Henry IL-McDonough- Mercer-Putnam-Rock Island-Warren-Whiteside.

Wallace and Jeff State Application Question
0 So I applied to both schools for fall. Wallace is my safety, I'd prefer Jeff State so I don't have to commute. I do have some concerns with my Jeff State application. I had to get everything together the day apps were due because I didn't know my spring grades would be posted in time to apply for Jeff State's program. I turned in an official copy of my Compass score that I took at Wallace with my application. Does anyone have any experience with transferring scores. I'm just concerned they won't count it as official. Any advice would be awesome. I hate waiting for these letters.
C.0I'm not certain about the scores, but I think that should be fine. Your transcript should also list your compass scores so don't worry too much. I too am dreading the wait...I applied at Lawson and Wallace. I've heard lots of good things about Wallace, but like you I am not looking forward to the drive. Until then, I will check the board DAILY...(lol) to see if people are receiving letters....
SHe0Haha same here!! I mean I know most people said it'll be July but I'm PRAYING they might send them early. My aunt graduated from Wallace a while back and she loved it. But yeah I'm not big on commuting. If you don't mind my asking how many points did you have??0I don't mind you asking...Im not sure how they count the 11 points that they award at their discretion. I will tell you my grades/scores.
99 compass reading
a/p1 a
a/p2 b
micro b
So assuming I get the 11 points I should have 180 points.
How many do you have?0I have 193 for Jeff State and 189 for Wallace. The cutoff for Wallace is normally around 150 I've heard so I think we'll both be fine there. I don't know much about Lawson so I'm not sure about they're cutoff.0oh...so they compute their points differently? I didn't know that please explain.0It's the 3 30 points for A&P 1 and 2 and Micro. 99 for compass. The 11 points at Wallace are for taking Bio 103 and A&P 1 and 2 at Wallace. The 11 points at Jeff state are for taking Math 100 or above and making an A or B. I think that's pretty much the gist of it.0Jun 10, '09 by jace24im in my second semester of nursing school at wallace and im enjoying it...great teachers friendly people. I stayed at the dorm last semester but im driving this summer semester. Its not that bad a drive i live in birmingham....good luck to all of u0Jun 11, '09 by justsheOk, thanks for the info about the points...and thanks Jace for your words of encouragement. Like I said I've always heard great things about Wallace so the drive would be worth it if I had too...Maybe we can organize a carpool if we end up going there. I look forward to hearing letter stories really really soon..lol0Jun 20, '09 by VSBlondeI'm applying to Wallace for the Spring Nursing admission, after I finish my micro class this summer, I should have 170 at the least.0Jun 22, '09 by momof3crazyboysVSBlonde - you are so gonna make it in!
