Can't change the width of the text input fields independently of the width of the textarea field. This raises appearance problems such as:
Against the "Choose File" button I want to show the default message "No file chosen". But because of insufficient field width it abbreviates to "No fi...osen".
The only way I can fix this is to significantly widen the textarea field, which for aesthetic reasons I don't want to do.
Widening the textarea field results in widening everything else, including the Submit and Reset buttons, which makes the appearance even more displeasing.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
When I finally got sued by Eskano & Adler, complaining that I would owe $1900 along with about $350 in court fees, a letter came in the mail, shortly after, from Consumer First Consultants. They told me in the letter that they would reduce my settlement, along with not haing to pay the court/lawyer fees. I made an appointment to see them in October. After meeting with them, my stepdad decided to help me out and paid $1,100 for Consumer First Consultant fees. I thought it was a lot but he was a man and I'm only 22 so I let him do it, and went on my way. We signed papers and made Consumer First Consultant (CFC) give us copies of everything I signed. They also wrote down that I wouldn't have to pay interest when making my payments.
About two weeks letter, I received a call from CFC saying that I would only owe $1900 and would have to agree to pay $150 a month, with the first month payment of $300. I asked CFC to mail me a receipt showing how much I owe, when I would owe it, etc. CFC refused and claimed Eskano & Adler would do it. The only paper Eskanos & Adler gave each month was how much I owed and what the next payment would be. In fact, I didn't realize until three months down the line, that my payments weren't dropping at all. Since February, I gave them $900 and Eskanos & Adler is claiming I owe them $1500.
When I called CFC, because they told me not to call Eskanos & Adler, about the situation they claimed that I was paying interest. I told them that they told me I wasn't suppose to pay interest and I had the paper to prove it. The lady proceeded to tell me that it wasn't true. Being 22, and hearing her say words, too fast and too much, I gave up, hung up the phone and told my stepdad. When I informed my stepdad he was mad that he wasted $1100. Not only that but I received a letter from Eskano & Adler just two nights ago, claiming they want to sue me, saying that they're only acknowledging $750. I don't know what to do.

Great plugin! Works fine. But I had a conflict with another
 in my theme. Instead of unspecific IDs and class names, it would be better to use something like
 and
, so that there are no conflicts with other IDs in the theme or with other plugins.
This is the first plugin that I found mentioning about mobile support so I'm very pleased to try it on Firefox for Android :)
The swipe feature does works! but it makes zooming in-out harder and it doesn't very make sense since the picture didn't slide along but fade to a new picture.
The black overlay were maximized perfectly so there are no flickering while zooming in-out which is very good!
Screen transition (between vertical/horizon) isn't smooth for a duo-core phone.

Skill Level Beginner
Another fun way to take multiple images and combine them together is in an action sequence. On a case like this, you want to make sure that the camera stays in the same position and your subject matter is actually moving between the multiple frames or exposures that you make. So let's take a look at these three images. I'm going to tap the Spacebar while I am in Bridge just so that we can see them. So you can see here is one exposure, the camera was on the tripod and I'm standing in one position. If I use my arrow key and we go to the next image I've moved over to that position and in the third image I am sitting down in front.
So let's tap the Escape key. I want to select all of these images and I'll choose the tools menu and go to Photoshop, and we're going to have Photoshop load these files into a single document as layer. So I'll choose Load Files into Photoshop layers. Bridge will hand off the three files that I had selected and here they are on the layers palette. We can see there's the image one, image two, and image three. As I toggle on and off these layers I can actually see there's a slight movement between this top layer and the next one down.
So even though my camera was on a tripod, something here moved. So I'm going to select all of the layers in my Layers panel by clicking on the top one, holding down the Shift key and clicking on the bottom one. And then, I'm going to use the Edit menu, I will come down to Auto-Align my layers. I will go ahead and choose the Auto option, and for the best quality we will go ahead and leave on my Lens Correction options, and click OK. We can see when I toggle on and off the Eye icon for these different layers, they are perfectly aligned.
We can do this the easy or the hard way. I prefer the easy way. I'm going to select this top layer and I'm going to add a layer mask, just a plain white layer mask. I will tap the D key to make sure that I have my default foreground and background colors. But I want to be painting with black, so I am going to tap the X key. Then, I will tap to B key to access my Brush, and let's just double-check our settings. It should be set to Normal mode with an Opacity of 100%. When I said that we could do this the hard way or the easy way, what I meant is I can either paint myself out of this image or I can try to paint myself into another image which then would require me to kind of guess where I am standing.
So it's much easier to just paint me out. Which, you might be thinking, is the exact opposite of what I want, but in fact, it's not, because once I've got myself completely painted out, then all I need to do is invert the mask in order to have myself be showing and hide the rest of the background. So my mask is selected on the Layers panel. I choose Image>Adjustments, and then Invert. So now what we're seeing, if we hide the other two layers, is we're just seeing me on this layer.
And the nice thing about doing it this way is I can also come in and check and make sure that I actually did mask myself properly. So while I'm still on the mask, if I want to make changes now, I can't paint with black, I have to paint with white. So I tap the X key and then I just make sure that we've got my whole hand there and we've got my whole foot down here and here. It looks like I missed a little area right in here, and we can paint right up there. Excellent! Now let's turn on the next layer. You can see that I've moved positions over to here, so we're going to use the same technique.
I will click on that layer. I will add a mask. I have my paintbrush, but I better switch by tapping the X key so that I'm painting with black and I will paint myself out of this layer as well. As soon as I've painted myself out, all I need to do is go to the Image menu, use Adjustments, or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+ or Ctrl+I in order to invert that. Again, we can see that I've missed some areas, but before I start painting, I tap the X key to exchange my foreground and background color and then we paint the rest of this in.
Better I get my feet down there and make sure that everything is visible. Excellent! Let's turn on the visibility of the last layer here and you can see I have a little bit of an issue, because I've actually captured myself right on top of where I was standing. So I need to go back in and just finesse this mask a little bit. So let's zoom in. Use just Cmd++ to zoom in to 100%, hold down the Spacebar in order to reposition this, and then remember it is this layer here, the middle layer that's causing the problem.
So I need to adjust the mask on the middle layer. So I have my Paintbrush selected, and I actually need to hide more of the information on this layer. So in order to hide the information, I'm going to paint with black as my foreground color. So I will tap the X key again and then I will click and paint. But I want to make sure that I get a smaller brush here, much smaller, and I can actually paint away a little bit too much. See how painting away my feet there I'm now able to see through to the background layer and it's the background layer where my pants here and the coat is.
So obviously I have painted away a little bit too much. So I tap the X key again. A little bit smaller of a brush, and then being a little bit more careful here, I am just going to paint up along the edge of the jacket there, around the edge there, and come back here, and just paint that out. Again, if you go too far, tap the X key. The other thing that could be really helpful here is to actually get a little bit harder of a brush, a harder edge brush, and then just paint that away right there so that you can't see the scene.
Let's zoom back out by using Cmd+- and then I just need to crop this. So I'll grab the Crop tool or we can tap the C key. I will leave it unconstrained. I just want to crop a little bit off the top, and maybe just a little bit off the bottom. You can see there's the snapping behavior. It's a little hard for me just to trim a little. So if I hold down the Ctrl key, I can actually temporarily turn off that snapping behavior. Tap the Enter or the Return key in order to apply that crop.
It looks like I didn't crop quite enough on the right. So we'll pull that in as well, hit Enter or Return, and then you can see I didn't want to crop off my foot, but I have a little bit of an area here. In fact, let's tap the V key to move over to the Move tool and Cmd++ or Ctrl++ to zoom in. I need to fill in this area right here. So I can do so by just using maybe the Clone Stamp tool. So I will tap the S key and then I'll hold down the Option or the Alt key to set my sample point.
It can be a pretty small area there, but what I better make sure of is I better pay attention to what layer I'm on. So in this case, I actually am only worried about the bottom-most layer. So I will click on that layer and then making sure that my Sample is set to All layers, I will go ahead and click and paint in the area that I am missing down there at the bottom. I might need to reset my Sample Point a little bit and I can just scoot that over.
I use my Hand tool to move over to the right-hand side, and of course I access the Hand tool by holding down the Spacebar, and then again hold down the Option or the Alt to set my Sample Point, and then just click and paint to drag that in to just make up that extra information that I need there. I can reset my Sample Point as many times as I want just to make sure that I'm not getting any duplications of area. And I see one more time I left a little bit of area on the left side.
So again I will grab my Crop tool, scoot that over just a wee bit, and tap Enter or Return. So I just think this is a really fun way to create an image that would be obviously impossible to capture in real life by just making multiple exposures of the same scene, and having something change in the scene whether it's one person moving like a skier moving through the scene, or in this case, me just being kind of goofy with these pillars and repositioning myself.

I am trying to find the best possible fit of a plug-in for a directory to add to my website. This directory will be music-based so Bands, Artists, & Musicians can sign up. Currently I'm using the Business Directory for WordPress. I've come into several issues including inability to customize. But the major issue is that when I try to enter a band's myspace in the organization website category it states that the "website is not a valid URL".
Any recommendations beyond this plug-in, or ways to make this plug-in work effectively?
Thank you!

I have been looking for a home based business for a week now and after this craziness I will no longer be accepting any solicitations. I was called by The Results Group regarding a turn-key business that drives consumers to amazon.com and/or to a gambling website and that I would receive commission checks based on the sale or in the case of the gambling site, 45% of the losses for the individual who goes to my doorway page.
In the process of the call, I looked up their company name and the name of the owner, who the gentleman said was Ed Longoria (although I've seen the name Michael Longoria on several reports) on the internet and thankfully was taken to this web site.
The intitial start up cost for owning this business went from $199 to $149 to $99 within 45 minutes and that since he was a senior sales manager, would waive the coaching fee of $179. The coach would be helping get my web page up and running, and the numbers they promised me actually seemed unrealistic.
I mentioned that I was reading some reports on their company and that it wasn't favorable at all, and the manager said that they've only received 112 complaints of all the clients they've helped since 2001. When I began to say, thanks but I want to do some more research, he actually hung up on me, upon which I felt compelled to let anyone out there who is even contemplating this to "JUST SAY NO!"

I received an email from her on September 15, 2011 thanking us for our hard work and that she was invoicing the client for our payment. It is now January 10, 2013 and still no payment.
I contacted Dicks Sporting Goods marketing department and they did indeed verify that they paid her for our services and felt bad that she never paid us, but because they paid the agency for our services, they would not repay again to us individually (which I understand.)
The last email correspondence I got from Dawn was on February 12, 2012 saying she needed my W-9, which she insisted I mail her a hard copy of...so I did and that was the last I heard from her.
She has lied to me over and over again and now won't reply to any emails or phone calls at all. She's not aware that her and I are facebook "friends" but she has told me she has "Been out of town" and was not, she was indeed at home in Texas.
Do NOT ever work for her. You will not get paid, EVER.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Today I was informed by my husband that Golden Eagle Leasing, DBA "SKS Associates", debited our bank account for 35 dollars and change... I asked him why, and he stated that they cited that this charge was for unpaid taxes during the time I had a contract with them. He stated that they told him that this was because there is no time limit on my contract.
Really, now... let me back up and tell you how I'd become involved with this company. I attended a seminar way back in 1999 or 2000 about opening up a home- based business. I'd just completed a 12 hour+ shift (nurse) and attended this seminar with my mother. I signed the paperwork, having just been pumped up about a business called "Future Link". One I brought everything home and began researching, I found out that I needed an Internet server who didn't even service my area in order to do this thing. I was also a whole lot less computer literate, so when I asked my "coach" for help, I was basically dumped. Just like that. But not only dumped, left with a credit card machine that I couldn't even use. I attempted to tell Cardservice International ( the company that was billing me) this situation and I was told, " Well, you can open up another business." I insisted that I would not use the machine and did not have the time to JUST open another business. Their response was basically, "Oh well. You still owe us $32.95/mo." Having felt like I was just kicking a dead mule, we paid this bill for years.
In March of 2004, I again contacted Cardservice International. I requested to terminate my contract immediately, as it was for a term of 48 months. At the time of the letter, they had debited my account outside of the contractual limit since Nov. 2003- four whole months- and I wanted to stop them from taking any more of my money. They still took the March payment, which intentionally created a $299.75 overpayment for nothing. They then told me the contract had switched to a month- to- month basis - this was not indicated on the contract and I was not contacted about this change, either. I again brought the nonuse of the account and the machine up to them, and demanded they review my account- full of zeroes, other than the easy money they were collecting from me. I was instructed that I had to write them a letter of cancellation with an explanation as to why I wanted to cancel- so I did so, at 13:30 on 10 March 2004. How do I know this? Because I SAVED EVERYTHING. On 16 March 2004, they sent me a fax cover sheet and following letter from their fax 1871 with their letterhead. It was sent from 132 W. 31st St. in New York City. This is what it states:
"Lease Number: 0320844A Dear Sheila *******, Please be advised , Golden Eagle Leasing LLC has released Sheila *. ****** and Sheila ****** of the obligation on Lease Number 0320844A. If you need further assistance, contact me at (888) 692-7177. Sincerely, Nicole Matthews Golden Eagle LeasingLLC." This response was sent to me at 15:41. It only took them a little over two hours to realize they screwed me over, so they released me from this rather fraudulent contract. Until today...
When my husband told me about this, he was really surprised that I'd saved everything and within seconds had it all in my hand. He told me about this website and gave me their number to call. So I called, oh, did I call.
The first woman I spoke with was either Indian or Pakistani dialected. I do not remember her name. I asked her why this company went into my bank account and helped themselves to my money. She asked me to confirm my business name. I told her my name, my real nme, my given name, and she wanted to know my business name. Irritating! Then she asked me to confirm my last four for " security purposes". I told her that I wasn't confirming ****, that they took my money without my authorization, confirm that. She stated that it was a payment for past due taxes, they had an audit and now they were collecting. I told her that this was bull****, that noone contacted me about this nor did they obtain my consent for payment, that they were thieves. She was quickly flustered and handed me over to another Indian or Pakistani- dialected woman. I asked her the same thing, and then, admittedly, I just let her have it. I told her in no uncertain terms that I had a paper in my hand that absolved me of any further relationship with this company and that I wanted MY MONEY BACK. I informed her that the company that she was working for basically committed a theft against me, I have proof that I clearly indicated a severance from them. Then, she had the unmitigated gall to tell me that she would give me my money back, but that if she did she was going to report me to a credit agency. Big mistake on her part. I told her that she needed to make sure she was recording this F- ing call, because this is where it is- they will give me my money back IMMEDIATELY. I have proof that this business relationship was dissolved and now I have proof that they illegally accessed my account and committed theft by deception. She then told me that they did try to get in touch with me by letter, "Oh, you did not receive that letter?" I told her absolutely not and asked her what address she sent it to. She read only part of the address, a key part was left out. I pointed this out to her and told her that this was their mistake and I, in fact, owe them nothing. There WAS NO LETTER. Here's where it gets really good...
I then read to her the name of this website. I told her that I was looking at it right now and that it had a whole section just devoted to SKS Associates. I then began counting to her, "One, two, three.." and told her the total number of complaints that I'd seen launched against them today, the day before, and the day before that. Then I asked her, " Shall I go on?" Then she tried to AGAIN confirm my address for the fourth time- and I told her that I just got done telling her three other times, that this conversation shouldn't even be happening in the first place so I shouldn't have to confirm ANYTHING with them. Then I told her that if I see their name show up on my credit report, I would get in touch with every single person complaining on this website and have them file a class- action lawsuit with me against them, did she understand? I told them "how dare you," and that she really needed to look for another job and not work for theives. Yes, she was flustered. I sure wanted it that way- because I know she's probably sitting in the same room with the other one I spoke to, and as soon as she got off the phone with me, I knew that she would immediately discuss her experience with me. The last thing I said to her was " I want my money, thieves." Click.
Then I called my husband, started filling out a complaint, noticed I needed an address. He didn't have it and suggested that I call back. So I did :).
I spoke with a man this time, with a very, very thick Indian or Pakistani dialect. I tried to make my voice sound sweet, but that wasn't very successful for long, especially since he announced his business name as Northern Living Systems. I asked him again to repeat his business name, and he repepated it- Nothern Living Systems! I sweetly asked him for his address. He gave it to me- 132 W. 31st St. in NYC. Go figure, the same exact address that showed on the faxed letter of contract dissolution! Then I asked him for his web address. He became very hesitant and asked me why, then asked to confirm the last four of my Social Security number for security purposes. I asked him why he couldn't just give me the address, why did he need to know my last four? What if I was just someone who wanted to do business with him? He placed me on hold. He came back, asked me for my last four again. I asked him why. He said that he needed to make sure I was on the up and up. I asked why, do they do that to every new customer? He relented and said that his web address is Northern Living Systems.com. He asked me if there was any other business he could do with me, and I told him no, thanks, I was the one that just chewed out his friends, thieves. Click!
I'm serious, folks- it looks like I'm not the only one out there. Smells like a class- action lawsuit to me. As a matter of fact, it's really pissing me off that MY MONEY is collecting interest in THEIR account- perhaps I should demand that, too... and perhaps I should charge them for all of the time that they've made me spend proving to them that they are not entitled to access my bank account... yeah! That's it! I'm going to tax them... well, I'm sure they're feeling a little taxed now. DING, DING- fight's on!

#1 General Comment
SKS assoc.Inc. IS Northern Leasing
AUTHOR: Billie - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, April 01, 2011POSTED: Friday, April 01, 2011
Sheila, probably what you heard was NORTHERN LEASING, not Northern Living.
I found out about 5pm EST today that $94.87 had been debited out of my OLD business acct. by SKS assoc. as an "authorized payment". Not only did I NOT authorize the debit, up until today I had NEVER heard of SKS. My Bank Googled SKS and found out that the company had recently acquired Northern Leasing. (which by the way i am already involved in a class action against).
In 2004 I contracted with Northern Leasing to " lease to own" my debit card machine. A 4 yr. Lease.At the anniversary of the 4 yrs. I contacted N. Leasing and was told that my "Buy-out" was over $1,900. after arguing, fussing and cussing, my business closed in 2009. I keep the acct. open as I am still paying small business loans, in Dec. 2010 after paying N. Leasing $47.00 a month WAY beyond the contract date I FINALLY got the acct with them paid off, cancelled and closed.( for $285.00)
Then Today.. Here we go again! An UNAUTHORIZED debit from my acct from SKS. My bank is filing it as a fraudulent charge/withdrawl and contesting it. I called the number provided for SKS (1-866-781-0440) at 5:39 est. got a recording, followed the prompts, was told that the offices were closed and that their business hours are 8:30 to 6pm..est. and was forwarded to voicemail.
20 minutes prior to their close of business I was transferred to voicemail. Guess I'll see if I can reach a human being between 8:30 am and 6 pm. est. MONDAY. To say I am "pissy" is an understatement. IF I can not achieve my goal by noon Monday, My next call will be to the NY Attorneys that have the class action case, and then to my State Attorney Generals office!

Please... file a report with the FTC, the NY Attorney General's office, your state Attorney General's office, the BBB and anywhere else you can think of (those are the ones I've done).
I also started a Facebook group - SKS Associates Raided My Bank Account.
I tried contacting some media outlets but nobody appears interested. I wish we could get somebody's attention and shut them down.
Another complainant on here found out what bank the money was going to, contacted that bank and had that account shut down. My money was headed to another bank, and my bank provided me with their information and I contacted that bank directly (other complainant's money went to TX, mine was headed to AZ) - it seems they are using smaller, community banks. I sent a nice email yesterday to the AZ bank that drafted my account on SKS' behalf and I got a nice reply saying they would look into it.
Whether or not they do, time will tell, but I'm sure as soon as the charge-backs start rolling in, they will be compelled to - that is, if the thieves haven't cleaned out the accounts before the paperwork catches up.
They have a number of class actions in progress. As time permits I'll put some of the info I've found on the FB group. As of now there's not a lot on it (just put it up this morning).
We had a lease on a sign - that's what they hit us for this week. I also had a credit card terminal (different leasing company name, same group of thieves) so I'm wondering if the other shoe will drop.
Contact your bank and get your money back... then pursue all legal means available to try to get these jokers stopped!

You'd think it was about time Megan Gale stopped being so damn amazing and gave the rest of us mere mortals a chance, but I guess that's just not in her (naturally gorgeous) nature. The L'Oreal Paris ambassador is back to show us how to nail those tricky runway trends we all wish we could recreate just in time for L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. First on the chopping block is current trend du jour: cobalt (we told you this was going to be big!). It's the jolt of electricity your makeup routine needs and with a little help from L'Oreal you'll be chucking out your standard blacks in no time! Here's how to rock cobalt makeup and look as fabulous as Megan Gale.
READ THIS: Ginnifer Goodwin's smouldering metallic smokey eye in cobalt
1. Prep your skin for your makeup application with a skin-perfecting and brightening primer.
2. Apply a light layer of liquid foundation using a foundation brush to give your skin a flawless glow. Take a dense, flat top brush and dipping it into the product then dot this onto your nose, the cheeks, around the borders of your face, and your chin and stipple the brush outwards and downwards towards your hairline and jawline until seamlessly blended into the skin.
3. Lighten any dark circles or blemishes with a highlighting concealer, dotting it under the eyes to brighten the whole eye area.
4. Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in any sparse areas and give your eyebrows a defined look. Use the comb on the end to brush the hairs into place if needed.
5. Using a deep blue eyeliner pencil, line the inner rims of the eye along the waterline. Run a small line along the top of the upper lashline to create further definition, and finish with a small flick for a subtle cat eye.
6. Using a beige eyeshadow, cover the entire lid up into the crease. Lightly smudge the line from the pencil into the eyeshadow along the lashline.
7. Give your lashes two quick coats of mascara, wiggling the brush back and forth on your lashes (in a zig zag motion) to get a crazy amount of volume.
8. Apply a coat of rose coloured lipstick to your lips and follow up with a coat of clear gloss for extra shine.
9. If you feel that your cheeks need a little definition, lightly sweep bronzer along the apples of the cheeks towards your ears for a very subtle glow, but remember this look is all about those amazing eyes!
10. Feeling matchy matchy? A navy blue nail polish will set off your eye colour and bring the whole look together.

It isn't finished. My roadmap include :
* More explicit messages (!)
* Add links to Release Notes.
* Check for discontinued/renamed modules.
* Fix bug with dash (it switch debug)
* Find appropriate description, so users don't rely exclusively on it.
But there are many other tests that could be implemented, like :
selinux, kernel's origine, detect sysfs, check free space, check
filesystems, detect live-cd, NFS and read-only root, detect risks of
non-persistent device names after reboot, etc.
Finally it could list applications that may require substantial
intervention from the user to work after upgrade.

It's the ultimate in atheist sci-fi comic pulp fiction! On a dare, Gian Carlo Spallanzini set out to discover the deepest darkest secret of a person picked at random. He had no idea what he was getting into. Even a fat, bearded know-it-all ought to know better than to leap before you look. Add a crystal ball, a foul-mouthed parrot, and a cranky atheist talk show host and you'll never guess the outrageous mystery behind the orange car with stripes.

"Author of curiously engaging novellas. His stories are not driven by action but by mood and metaphysics. His premises often begin with fairly standard, often vaguely science-fiction concepts, but he spins those concepts out into melancholy, thoughtful tales in which he explores the emotion and (often) dislocation that people feel when confronted by something outside their normal experience." - Devon Kappa

#15249 new New feature

Sometimes a django project did not raise any exception but things are not going as well as we want. so it will be a good idea to
to run an interactive shell or pdb shell where we want in code or when an exception raised. the patch that i provide add an settings variable called "INLINE_DEBUGGER", that gets to value "interactive" and "pdb" and its default value is None.
if user set "INLINE_DEBUGGER" to "interactive" then when an exception raised a python interactive shell or ipython shell will executed with the exception locals. so user can easily test some condition in his/her code.
if user set "INLINE_DEBUGGER" to "pdb", when an exception raised django will execute a pdb shell with the exception locals.
forgive me because of my poor English

I've been using WordPress for about a month now and have learned mainly by trial and error. I don't know CSS or html, but that hasn't stopped me from using plugins and tutorials on the net to successfully change the layout of my website. However, there is one simple thing I cannot accomplish: editing the text in the comment form. I have two things I specifically want to do:
The first is to change the "Your email address will not be published." line in the comment form.
The second thing is to add a red * symbol after Name and Captch Code in the form. The captch code is handled by a plugin, so I'm not sure if I should change the plugin code or the comment form code to add the symbol. But the Name part is more important to me right now.
I've looked for a way to do these two things for hours (seriously), but only came up with several unresolved forum questions, resolved questions on older (redundent) versions of WordPress and this page which is very vogue and hard to understand for an html dummy like me. I would highly appreciate it if you could tell me which file to edit for my changes and which lines to add. I'm using a child theme of the standard Twenty Eleven theme. Thank you.

City of Schemes
By KURT ANDERSEN
Published: October 6, 2002
Aren't all these awful crooked C.E.O.'s and C.F.O.'s out in the sticks just . . . awful? How did this spirit of shameless greed come to infuse the corporate cultures of the heartland? Enron : Houston. Arthur Andersen: Chicago. WorldCom : Clinton, Miss. Adelphia: Coudersport, Pa. Tyco: Exeter, N.H., and Boca Raton, Fla. Here in New York City, we've spent the last year selflessly working together toward physical and psychic recovery, all of us engaged in a painful but glorious existential civic introspection. Meanwhile, out there, beyond the Hudson, in the vast unfathomable America of discount superstores and chain restaurants and sun-baked suburban business parks, a decadent amorality had worked its way like some malignant rot through the nation's fiber. Consumed with the struggle to rebuild, we New Yorkers were feeling fully American as we hadn't in decades -- and now, suddenly, the ''real'' America is revealed as a manic, festering hive of greed and corruption. It turns out all the Bedford Fallses are actually Pottersvilles. Which makes us, as we observe the mess from the Upper West Side and TriBeCa, feel all the more victimized and righteous. And by the way? For the record? We always had our doubts about the Internet and its associated financial madnesses.
Would that it were so, that New York could now revel in its innocence. In fact, if you have to choose the primary breeding ground for the various business misdeeds now consuming national attention, New York, I'm afraid, is the place. I'm not even thinking mainly of Sam Waksal and Martha Stewart and her socialite stockbroker, or of the Upper East Side convicts Alfred Taubman and Dede Brooks. I'm talking about all the ugly corporate implosions all across the country. No matter where they are, lines of blame for the companies' current circumstances lead straight back to our city. And it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
New York's (false) sense of distance from all this malfeasance derives in no small part from a coincidence of timing. The first seriously negative news article about Enron in this newspaper happened to appear Sept. 9, 2001. The subsequent revelations, which shriveled Enron's share price from $35 to 29 cents in eight weeks, started appearing in mid-October, when New Yorkers had more immediate concerns than the accounting practices of Houston-based energy-trading companies. Months passed before we heard about the other big corporate scandals -- WorldCom, Adelphia, Tyco -- and by then we had already acquired the habit of lordly obliviousness. Financial monkey business in places like Clinton, Miss., and Coudersport, Pa., was not really our affair.
But if infectious greed is the virus, New York is the center of the outbreak. We may prefer to think of it as the American cultural capital, or as a breathtaking physical creation, or as simply the place where a plurality of the country's most interesting people live. But New York is also, inarguably, the money center of America and the world, the capital of capitalism.
The two global superbanks, Citigroup and J. P. Morgan Chase, are here. The New York Stock Exchange is, of course, here. And most important for this discussion, the big investment banks -- Morgan Stanley , Goldman Sachs , Merrill Lynch , Credit Suisse First Boston, Lehman Brothers, Bear, Stearns, J. P. Morgan and Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney -- are all here, too. It was New York investment bankers who drove the mergers-and-acquisitions deal culture of the 80's and 90's and who most aggressively oversold the myth of synergy that justified it. It was New York investment bankers and their Wall Street brothers who trained a generation of obedient American C.E.O.'s (by means of stock-option-based compensation) to worry more about jacking up their share prices in the short term than about running their companies well for the long haul. It was they who permitted the digital-technology giddiness of the late 90's to spread beyond Silicon Valley; Palo Alto venture capitalists may have doled out most of the initial dot-com money, but it was New York investment bankers who took all those companies public for billions of dollars, thus enabling the national festival of greed. It was they who created an inherently corrupt equities research establishment. It was they -- with their lawyers at the big New York firms -- who invented the novel financial architectures of Enron and WorldCom, just as it was the New York consulting firm McKinsey & Company that provided Enron with its egregiously go-go, ultra-fast-company ideology.
Moreover, it was the example of New York investment bankers, earning gigantic salaries for doing essentially nothing -- knowing the right people, talking smoothly, showing up at closings -- that encouraged businesspeople out in the rest of America to feel entitled to smoke-and-mirrors cash bonanzas of their own.
New Yorkers didn't create the digital-technology mania of the 90's. But while nearly all of the real achievements of the Wired Decade -- laptops, flat screens, faster chips, cheap and huge memories, P.D.A.'s, WiFi, instant messaging, browsers, the Web itself, all the actual stuff -- were accomplished by people elsewhere, it was New Yorkers who made the scramble for instant wealth the endeavors' overriding purpose. The dreamers and tinkerers of Silicon Valley were not innocents, but they were, at worst, Drs. Faustus willingly seduced by the slick Mephistophelean agents of New York's blue-chip money culture.

League City Councilwoman Geri Bentley, who was the first incumbent to file for re-election, has reversed course, saying Thursday that she would not seek a second term.
For the 17th straight season, Texas City and Friendswood will square off on the gridiron tonight, in a series — currently knotted 8-8 — that's as close as they come.
It wasn't the prettiest showing, but La Marque's record on the new season still reads, 1-0.
Nearly everybody wonders what the future holds, and some people spend time and money trying to find out in advance.
No results found.

Viruses on computers at City College of San Francisco have sent personal banking and other information from thousands of faculty members, administrators and others to hackers with ties to Russian and Chinese criminal networks for as long as a decade, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Campus officials identified the breaches weeks ago and are working to eliminate them. No cases of identity theft have been cited yet, though, the newspaper reported.
Higher Education Quick Takes
Quick Takes
In today's Academic Minute, William Poulin-Deltour of Middlebury College explains how divergent cultural roots created different ideas of community in the United States and France. Find out more about the Academic Minute here.
Education researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have been conducting interviews with tenure-track fathers about the pressures they face balancing work and family responsibilities. The findings, published in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity, are that these men experience conflict and stress, and that many feel that parenting responsibilities aren't factored into the expectations they face from their departments.
Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University, got himself in trouble Wednesday, when he compared the decentralized nature of university governance to the Polish army. In a speech in Columbus, he said, "When we had these 18 colleges all kind of floating around, they were kind of like PT Boats, they were shooting each other. It was kind of like the Polish army or something. I have no idea what it was," according to an Associated Press account. In the past, Gee has raised money for groups that he has offended, and he suggested that he may have to do the same here, saying, "I'll have to raise money for Poland now."
More than 100 American medical schools have agreed to work with the Obama administration to ensure that the country's doctors are trained to meet the "unique health care needs of the military and veterans communities," the two major groups that represent them announced Wednesday. The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and the Association of American Medical Colleges cited the medical and psychological problems that plague military service members and veterans and their family members, and said they and their members would take a series of steps to ensure that medical school graduates are trained to recognize and treat health issues. The institutions also committed to stepping up their research into ailments and conditions that afflict the military. The announcement came as part of the administration's larger Joining Forces effort.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Education Secretary Arne Duncan made clear his displeasure with the National Collegiate Athletic Association at its annual convention Wednesday in a keynote address that, while ultimately conveying a message of encouragement, called out the organization for everything from sex abuse scandals to "New Testament"-length rulebooks. He chided institutions for their frantic conference realignment, which peaked this year as colleges sought multimillion-dollar TV deals or panicked about getting left behind. Duncan seemed astonished that even as institutional spending on athletes far outpaces spending on other students, none of the $20 million that colleges receive for playing in a Bowl Championship Series game goes toward academic purposes. He mocked the near-comical excess of the 426-page NCAA rulebook (giving a recruit a bagel is allowed, but add cream cheese and it's a violation), and lamented that a quarter of this year's BCS teams graduate fewer than half their athletes. All of the above (and let's not forget violations in recruiting and myriad other rules) have combined, Duncan said, to create a "disturbing" and "dangerous narrative" in the public that college sports lives in an insular world that's all about the money.
Duncan did commend the NCAA for its new academic reform measures, which set higher standards for athletic eligibility. "It seems clear that they are steps in the right direction," he said. "Raising the bar is always the right way to go.... Keep going, and please, please, resist the temptation to tinker or temper with your core principles." It will come down to courageous leaders, he said: while addressing these issues may be a political challenge, "This does not take a Nobel Laureate to solve."
Asked whether all this was even the NCAA's problem, Duncan (before answering in the affirmative) even got in a dig at the legislature. "If any of us are looking for Congress to solve this," he said, "good luck."
Rodney Erickson, the new president of Pennsylvania State University, pledged to alumni Wednesday that the institution eventually would honor Joe Paterno, who was fired as football coach in November amid a scandal over Penn State's handling of child sex abuse charges against one of his top assistant coaches, Jerry Sandusky. USA Today reported that Erickson, speaking to hundreds of alumni at a town hall meeting in Pittsburgh, said: "There is no plan in place at the present time, but there will be. I can't tell you yet what it will be or when it will be, but we will publicly honor Joe and his wife, Sue, for all the many things they have done for the university, both from an athletic standpoint and an academic standpoint."
The meeting was the first of several in which the university is trying to repair its relations with alumni frustrated over the scandal. A Reuters account of the meeting said that many alumni criticized the university for not being more open about its response to the scandal, and many also questioned why Paterno was fired. Erickson pledged to be more transparent. He said that the university spent $360,000 on crisis communications during November.

An independent panel has found numerous management problems in the massive building campaign by the Los Angeles Community College District, The Los Angeles Times reported. The newspaper drew attention to the problems in a series of articles last year -- the findings of which were initially disputed by the district. But the independent review has found many of the problems identified by the newspaper -- problems that led to numerous cost overruns and delays.
The Georgia Board of Regents on Tuesday approved a plan to merge 8 of the 35 institutions in the University System of Georgia. The consolidations of four pairs of colleges will take 12 to 18 months, said the system's relatively new chancellor, Henry (Hank) Huckaby. The system hopes to increase academic offerings and cut back on administrative costs with the mergers. Some jobs will be eliminated.

Hi :)
I was wondering if there is anyone who can help med create a functioning gallery in wordpress? I have tried different plugins, but I´m relatively new at this, so either it`s not working/I don´t know what to do, or it´s not quite what I wanted :(
What I want is:
Click on the gallery button in the top menu, and the page displays album-thumbs of different galleries. Click on a thumb and get a page with thumbs of all the pictures in the gallery. Click on a picture and get the lightbox feature with the dark fading of the background and the image pop-up... Click next to see the other pictures in the gallery.
I thought this was quite common, but I´m not especially good in php, so I cant make this work. Anyone who can help me? Help will be greatly appreciated :)
