This comes by way of HotAir and makes clear that whatever the left touches, it destroys:
This promises to turn into a sticky wicket for the New York City Fire Department. One of their upcoming graduates is going to be accepted into the ranks and go to work as a firefighter despite having failed a grueling physical test multiple times. This comes as a result of recent changes to the city's criteria for how graduates are scored.
Rebecca Wax, 33, is set to graduate Tuesday from the Fire Academy without passing the Functional Skills Training test, a grueling obstacle course of job-related tasks performed in full gear with a limited air supply, an insider has revealed.
"They're going to allow the first person to graduate without passing because this administration has lowered the standard," said the insider, who is familiar with the training.
Upon graduation, Wax would be assigned to a firehouse and tasked with the full duties of a firefighter. Some FDNY members are angry.
"We're being asked to go into a fire with someone who isn't 100 percent qualified," the source said. "Our job is a team effort. If there's a weak link in the chain, either civilians or our members can die."
…..[she] failed to complete… climbing in full gear while carrying heavy equipment, rescuing victims in zero visibility, breaking down doors, and doing it all while breathing oxygen from a tank on a limited timer….
This brings to memory two quotes that bring the point home, a point that a reader on my FaceBook blog pointed out:
- "Hopefully the first person she has to LIFT out of a burning building will be a feminist…because obviously it will not matter, that she is unqualified."
If there is indeed a social revolution under way, it shouldn't stop with women's choice to honor their [own] nature. It must also include a newfound respect for men. It was New York City's firemen who dared to charge up the stairs of the burning Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. The death tally of New York City's firefighters was: men 343, women 0. Can anyone honestly say you would have wanted a woman coming to your rescue on that fateful day?
Suzanne Venker & Phyllis Schlafly, The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know — and Men Can't Say (Washington, D.C.: WND Books, 2011), 181-182.
There is a Liberal sentiment that it should also punish those who take more than their "fair share." But what is their fair share? (Shakespeare suggests that each should be treated not according to his deserts, but according to God's mercy, or none of us would escape whipping.)
The concept of Fairness, for all its attractiveness to sentiment, is a dangerous one (cf. quota hiring and enrollment, and talk of "reparations"). Deviations from the Law, which is to say the Constitution, to accommodate specifically alleged identity-group injustices will all inevitably be expanded, universalized, and exploited until there remains no law, but only constant petition of Government.
We cannot live in peace without Law. And though law cannot be perfect, it may be just if it is written in ignorance of the identity of the claimants and applied equally to all. Then it is a possession not only of the claimants but of the society, which may now base its actions upon a reasonable assumption of the law's treatment.
But "fairness" is not only a nonlegal but an antilegal process, for it deals not with universally applicable principles and strictures, but with specific cases, responding to the perceived or proclaimed needs of individual claimants, and their desire for extralegal preference. And it could be said to substitute fairness (a determination which must always be subjective) for justice (the application of the legislated will of the electorate), is to enshrine greed—the greed, in this case, not for wealth, but for preference. The socialistic spirit of the Left indicts ambition and the pursuit of wealth as Greed, and appeals, supposedly on behalf of "the people," to the State for "fairness."….
….But such fairness can only be the non-Constitutional intervention of the State in the legal, Constitutional process—awarding, as it sees fit, money (reparations), preferment (affirmative action), or entertainment (confiscation)….
…."Don't you care?" is the admonition implicit in the very visage of the Liberals of my acquaintance on their understanding that I have embraced Conservatism. But the Talmud understood of old that good intentions can lead to evil—vide Busing, Urban Renewal, Affirmative Action, Welfare, et cetera, to name the more immediately apparent, and not to mention the, literally, tens of thousands of Federal and State statutes limiting freedom of trade, which is to say, of the right of the individual to make a living, and, so earn that wealth which would, in its necessary expenditure, allow him to provide a living to others….
…. I recognized that though, as a lifelong Liberal, I endorsed and paid lip service to "social justice," which is to say, to equality of result, I actually based the important decisions of my life—those in which I was personally going to be affected by the outcome—upon the principle of equality of opportunity; and, further, that so did everyone I knew. Many, I saw, were prepared to pay more taxes, as a form of Charity, which is to say, to hand off to the Government the choice of programs and recipients of their hard-earned money, but no one was prepared to be on the short end of the failed Government pro-grams, however well-intentioned. (For example—one might endorse a program giving to minorities preference in award of government contracts; but, as a business owner, one would fight to get the best possible job under the best possible terms regardless of such a program, and would, in fact, work by all legal and, perhaps by semi- or illegal means to subvert any program that enforced upon the proprietor a bad business decision.)*
Further, one, in paying the government to relieve him of a feeling of social responsibility, might not be bothered to question what in fact constituted a minority, and whether, in fact, such minority contracts were actually benefiting the minority so enshrined, or were being subverted to shell corporations and straw men.†
* No one would say of a firefighter, hired under rules reducing the height requirement, and thus unable to carry one's child to safety, "Nonetheless, I am glad I voted for that 'more fair' law."
† As, indeed, they are, or, in the best case, to those among the applicants claiming eligibility most capable of framing, supporting, or bribing their claims to the front of the line. All claims cannot be met. The politicians and bureaucrats discriminating between claims will necessarily favor those redounding to their individual or party benefit—so the eternal problem of "Fairness," supposedly solved by Government distribution of funds, becomes, yet again and inevitably, a question of graft.
David Mamet, The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture (New York, NY: Sentinel Publishing, 2011), 116-117, 12
And here is some good commentary by Julie Borowski:
…The young woman couldn't complete the job-related obstacle course in that allotted amount of time. She only completed the course once after multiple attempts and it took her 22 minutes.
She failed and she shouldn't be graduating.
This shouldn't be about sparing feelings.
Look, nothing against her personally. Being a firefighter clearly isn't for everyone. It's physically demanding work. A firefighter who doesn't meet the stringent physical standards could put other firefighters and civilians in harm's way.
This comes at a time when the fire department is under pressure by Mayor de Blasio to hire more women. They have even gone so far as making the FST test easier to avoid sex discrimination lawsuits.
….It doesn't help them that the FDNY is hiring women who, frankly, aren't capable of performing the job because they didn't pass the test. I'm sure the 44 female firefighters in New York City aren't too pleased about their work being devalued.
Physical fitness tests are not sexist. It is sexist to hire someone based on their gender, though.

Makes sense --So true that we have to wait for major players. Maybe there will be a pop if Fed eases but I don't see them doing it, especially post Greek elections that didn't implode the markets. But then again that is why the markets have been heaving higher the last two weeks including today
US market is moving into a period of relatively lighter selling based on my models.I am expecting a nice rally in the broader markets from here. The short term trends are turning positive and suggest a price target of about 150 on the SPY.I don't expect NOV to do well based on my prior comments. Certainly not relatively well. If it's not going to do relatively well, then hedge funds will keep shorting NOV and buying SPY and will make money doing so. Just my 2c.Not a recommendation. Do your own DD.Best wishes.
Even with the Raymond James downgrade ...OIH USO and SLB is up along with tape today. Maybe not much but up rather than down like NOV.

The bentwood chairs at Mr. Martino's wobble and creak with various degrees of age and comfort. And though the staff is graciously patient with those who fuss and switch until they find the perfect seat, don't expect a decor makeover anytime soon at this South Philly classic.
"We couldn't bring ourselves to buy new chairs," owner Marc Farnese said as he swapped out my chair for one that still had a back. "It just wouldn't feel right."
After 18-plus years inside this dimly lit haven of homey Italian cooking, a former 19th-century hardware store whose chestnut-paneled room is hung with antique paintings, lacy curtains, and old family photos, a few quirks are to be expected.

how many individual cakes does this recipe yield. i have a mini bundt pan to try.
Depending the size of the mini bundt pan you use this recipe yields about 4-6 mini bundt cakes.

Again, Jagielka is obviously Polish (whilst his first name IS pretty traditional here), and Zaha is from the Ivory Coast!

If I didn't know you any better Chris, i would guess you were being purposefully obstreperous.
Jagielka may well be Polish, and Zaha, Ivroian, but they are both listed as English Internationals. So football is moving the same way as Cricket and Rugby in that respect.
I'm not saying that it is wrong, only making the point that there aren't many footballers around, whose names would not look out of place on a 1920's team roster.
Even 'Phil' would have been scoffed at.

Jagielka was born in Sale, Greater Manchester.
There was a Samuel Chedgzoy in the 1920 team; good English surname there. There was also a #$%$ at centre forward.

I originally called and wanted some more information on a couple horses I saw for sale. I called around 10am and a child answered the phone. I was surprised at that, because the child should have been in school on a weekday (it was not during Ma vaction week). I asked to speak with someone about the horses for sale and the young voice said," yup you can talk to me."
I asked a few questions and she did not sound extremely experienced or too informative. Looking at the pictures of the horse, I am assuming that this young girl I spoke with is also the girl riding in the pictures. I am putting all the peices of the puzzle together now and it makes sense that the young girl is answering the phone and not Becky. I dont know what this lady is thinking, but to have your daughter doing the business calls and talking to potential clients is extremely unprofessional and immediately struck a red flag with me.
I never called back and then did some research and came across all these complaints. Thanks for the warning, it sure seems VERY skecthy over there. She should be banned from AQHA/any dealings with the label AQHA along with any horse deals! So sorry to hear of all these terrible stories of business with her.

So I needed to get a new nursing bra because my boobs got even bigger. So we went to wal-mart (the only store in town). I knew I needed a DD. So I grabbed one and went to the chaging room to find someone to measure me so I would know if I got the right one. There was noone there so I grabbed a number and went to try it on over my tank top. It fit but when I walked out the lady got mad at me. I told her I was buying it and I had tried it on over my tank top. She said that she could measure me to know my size but ai told her thats what I wnted but there was noone there and I left. I feel the lady was over reacting. I never knew buying a bra could be soooo hard.

Never go to wal mart for something like that.
The best nursing Bra I ever found was a Medela bra
it clips at the top and stretches so even as your breasts grow (and shrink) it still fits. Its great for sleeping and under shirts. I think it cost about $40 when I bought one. The medela site has a locator.
Walmart sucks for buying something you actually need to try on since they get mad when you want to try on undergarments. I can understand underpants or something, but bras? What the hey. How are you supposed to know if something is going to fit right unless you try it on? I wonder if you can buy it and then return it. Probably!

McLucas Road can be rough, especially in the spring. This April I would have been able to make it up all the way with my Outback, and a Unicell minivan did make it up to the gate, but the first washout may make some nervous. The walk up the road to the trailhead is a half hour, uphill road walk, if you park at the little red cabin / McLucas Cemetery area, which is a bit over a mile down the McLucas road. At the fork in the road head uphill, obviously.
The walk up is a road walk, not a trail walk, but it does pass the site of the old McLucas farm, and several old foundations and burial grounds. A small pond also lies in the woods down a trail on your right.
Once at the sturdy steel gate, a steep ten minutes will bring you to views and the letterbox which is nearby. A short section of a side trail which quickly turns to solid rock can be found on your left. Look for an old tumbled wall on the right that meets a tree with a cavity in its base. This cavity is just the right shape and size to hold a fire hydrant or a lawn gnome (trust me). The side path is just after this, on the left.
Walk the side path, and take in the views. This is a decent place to sit the top near the tower is full of glass and other trash. The side trail parallels the main road for a very short distance. Just before it rejoins the road you can find a stone fireplace on the right which looks a bit like a stone lounge chair with rocks mortared into its back. If you walk around it you will see that it has two sides and is actually shaped like the letter H. Two arms point over the cliff to Little Ossipee Lake below and two point towards the road. Follow where these point eleven paces to the largest rock on this side of the road (knee-high and roughly triangular.) Look under rocks on the near side. Please rehide this one very well exactly where you found it so it does not go missing. Walking back down, we see that the gate is currently dedicated to one Hot Rod Roberts; maybe an inspiration for another stamp? Any takers?

Is my shutter about to fail?
Hi everyone- this is my first post here, so bear with me-
I have 3 Nikon D700s (wedding photographer), and my main camera has begun to focus slowly, and lose focus as well.
Shutter count is at 155,715.
Any ideas? Is my shutter about to fail? I read that the normal shutter life for this camera is 150,000.
Thanks in advance!
#1. "RE: Is my shutter about to fail?" | In response to Reply # 0
Hi Lissa and welcome to Nikonians!
I strongly doubt that the shutter has a close connection with focusing mechanism and its speed. D700 cameras have nominal shutter release count at 150,000, but can work much longer. Check here http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/ for the expected shutter lifetime. D700 is unfortunately not in the database, but you can look at the D300 data.
According to your profile you mostly use AF-S lenses that have a built-in focus motor. Therefore I would first look to the bayonet contacts if they are dirty or damaged. If yes, just send the camera to Nikon representative for cleaning.
If you noticed the slow autofocus performance with AF lenses, the culprit is most probably the "screwdriver" motor built into the camera. Again, send the camera to authorized Nikon representative for testing and possibly replacing the motor.
The third possible cause would be dirty autofocus module inside the camera. Check whether the autofocus is slow on all autofocus sensors or just on some of them. If it is slow on just some of them then very probably these sensors are dirty and need professional cleaning.
Hope you will solve your problem quickly.
Best regards,
Never underestimate!

Lisa, welcome to Nikonians! Have you had a CLA - Clean, Lube and Adjust? Nikon USA or an authorized repair facility can help you there. If you let them know what'g going on with the camera, they can advise you if need replacement.

Hi Lissa,
Welcome to Nikonians!
The AF module and the shutter assembly are different systems therefore a problem with the AF system does not mean that the shutter is about to fail.
Nikon Service in Melville NY or APS in Morton Grove, IL should have no problem getting your D700 beck to 100%.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

Thank you all for your helpful responses!
That makes a lot of sense- I am going to send the camera in to be cleaned and checked out.
Any preferences on whether or not to use Nikon repair or an authorized repair center? I have not been able to get into Nikon Professional services (no sponsor), so I am worried about repair times.
#6. "RE: Is my shutter about to fail?" | In response to Reply # 5
I find that once a camera is out of warranty that authorized repair centers are cheaper, but you can call both and see which one gives you a better price.

Are Filipinas the Most Beautiful Women in the World?
Recent posts on younger Filipinas with older guys and how to meet your special someone on Cherry Blossoms has prompted me to write today's article. Don't know why I've never devoted a whole piece to this topic before, but a recent FHM Philippines video, posted at the end of this article, inspired me.
Part of my duties at the main headquarters of Philippines Plus involves researching any topic and news items that deals with the Philippines. Now with my Alexa tool bar revealing my website is visited more frequently by users that are in the age range of 56-64 with some college education, it would make sense for me to post topics that I think might interest them.
Now if Alexa, an amazon.com company, and the leader in free, global web metrics is giving me this info, I'm going to listen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to ignore you ladies out there like, Maria, Roselyn and Christine, to name a few. We have to have some voices of reason around here.
And I'm not going to ignore older geezers like Gary Wigle, who I'm pretty sure is past 64 and I still welcome the young bucks out there, like Lance the Canadian and Scott B. And how could I forget Fearless Frank from Florida. Lord knows I don't want you leaving me another comment thinking that I'm slighting you. When in the heck are you coming back to Guimaras?
So I'm going out on a limb and figuring guys might be interested in the topic, "Are Filipinas the Most Beautiful Women in the World?" It's also possible that those same guys wouldn't mind a video that has some of the most gorgeous women in the Philippines (aside from our own asawas and girlfriends, of course) prancing around in skimpy outfits (check out the nurse and don't be shy about hitting the "replay" button.)
I personally would not care to see Filipino men prancing around in skimpy outfits, but that's just me. If you like to view such videos, I'm thinking you're probably going to be disappointed with this particular video featuring some of the hottest babes in the Philippines.
So why are women in the Philippines so beautiful? With the assimilation of so many ethnic groups into it's 98 million plus population, I'm sure that must have something to do with it.
Wikipedia states that most Filipinos are Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian. Other ethnic groups form a minority in the Philippine population. These include those of Japanese, Han Chines, Indians, Americans (especially around Angeles City), Spanish, Europeans, and other ethnic groups from other countries. Mixed-race individuals are known as Filipino mestizo.
My own beautiful Filipina wife is of Chinese heritage. She'll tell you herself that she has "Chinese" eyes and a "Filipino" nose. She has such a strong Chinese appearance to some people here, that it caused a delay in obtaining her spousal visa to America.
The Filipina that interviewed her for her exit visa to the States, made her go back to her home in Guimaras to get a copy of her baptismal record from her church along with a copy of the parish log which recorded her baptismal mass. Why? The interviewer did not believe my wife was born in the Philippines despite her official records from NSO, the National Statistic Office of the Philippines, along with other documentation she had.
The Embassy employee believed my wife was Chinese and born in China. That delayed her obtaining her visa for two weeks, but some folks in America, along with some Filipinos here, still mistake her for Chinese. More so when her skin was almost lily-white after working indoors in Taiwan as an OFW, Overseas Filipino Worker, for two straight years without a day off.
So are Filipinas the most beautiful women in the world? Of course, they are! And their inner qualities matches their exterior beauty.
Guys, show the above highlighted section of this post to your Filipina spouse or girlfriend. But you probably would want to discourage them from looking at the FHM girls photos that I've posted. I also would encourage them to skip the following video. But if you've got a ex-wife that's not Filipina, just send them this whole frickin' post.

While this is a great video and all the girls are beautiful, they are mostly pretty Western looking. I really prefer real Filipinas if you know what I mean. Don't even know how to define it, since as you say there are many different looks and ethnic combinations.

Lee says:
Dave, a few years ago I read an article that may help explain why the ladies of the Philippines have a reputation for beauty, there was some science behind it. In the animal kingdom babies of most species are considered cute and adorable. This is partly because their head is not fully grown and however the eyes are already set, so you have what looks like huge eyes. Filipinos eyes are generally "half an eye" wider apart than other races. This creates an unfair advantage when it comes to good looks and allows (in general) a Filipina to retain a youthful look much longer than other ladies. I think this is true actually, but I am no expert..

Lee, I don't know about your significant other but when my filipina gets mad, the eyes move back closer together. 😉 That's how I can tell what kind of mood she is in…by the distance between her eyes! 😆 😆 😆
Don E. Chute says:
Ol' bro Dave…I definitely like what I see…I may have to come for a visit, as you say 'to see if I like it'. Beautiful Ladie's, Cold Beer, Less Expensive Living…Still great weather and Beaches…Hot Damn!
Need to buy your ExPat guide [discount?] If our current Lord of The States [Obamanation] wins…I will exile sooner.
Happy Trails Dave and PLU from SSF
Fearless Frank From Florida says:
The Filipinas have spoiled me ! Most American women are OVERWEIGHT and from my observations, most Filipinas are the proper weight or slightly underweight. Beauty is in the eyes of the "Beerholder" Ha Ha and I Think that MANY Filipinas are very beautiful and also Friendly,I'm sure that you know what I mean. The Nurses there are Beautiful, Helpful & Very Friendly to us poor Americans with High Blood Pressure.
Till I Return
Gary Wigle says:
Damn autoplay!!!
So a couple of years back I am in CDO and outside the hotel girl watching. The hotel is right next to a major NEW hospital and it is shift change for the nurses. 😛
I ask this one very pretty lady if she is a nurse. Yes she was…Please check my heart I said. What is wrong she asked? My reply was that I just took one look at you and my heart skipped a beat. She kept walking. 🙁
Gary Wigle says:
So I am at the mall yesterday. Meriam and I are leaving when in comes a group of college girls. Very young and very pretty. Meriam goes around them and I just step aside and let them past. The lead girl starts to stare at me. Really stares!!! Then she smiles and says "HELLO." Such a sexy hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess the old man isn't dead yet. 😀
clarrie in bacolod says:
Spent many years living in sydney australia a multicultural city………….I cant claim to have known woman from each race intimately and now i never will as Im married to the most beautiful of all .some Japanese girls are quite pretty and possess an almost childish cuteness ….for 5 years I lived in a predominately Vietnamese suburb CabramattA ..often referred to as Vietnamatta .Many Vietnamese girls are exceptionally beautiful ..very white skin ..slim and feminine .but none compare to filipina in my opinion ..Many filipina are beautiful looking girls but regardless ..all have a special feminity and warmth ………Ijust neeeever become tired of hearing the wonderful accent
clarrie in bacolod says:
Dave ..sori to tell you i dont like the new website design introduced last week .Too slick and compact and much of the appeal has been lost …i liked the lizard poop productions heading .I think of your site as a knockabout… information and lighthearted banter site ..hope you understand what im trying to say ..Im worried this might become just another slick and boring westerner in the philippines site ..hope not ……the new comments section is terrible ..the old one was great ….pls dont take offence…….oh there i go …off topic ….sori
Steve says:
I like the new comments section. It groups conversations nicely. Plus the new design makes the site look better when viewing on a mobile phone.
clarrie in bacolod says:
maybe Im outvoted regards the new site …no problem ..My main concern was the layout of the comments section ..the wording is much smaller and now we are enclosed in a cage while before we were free range ….
Todd says:
I am so biased towards filipinas it is probably ridiculous…but nothing is going to change my mind…I believe filipinas (on average) are the best looking women in the world.
When I am in Makati, and sitting at one of the outdoor cafes, my friends and I marvel at how many gorgeous women walk by. It is like a model convention is nearby EVERY single second.
I honestly prefer the cute gals over the really pretty gals but there is an abundance of both.
And there is a filipina "mystique" that is hard to deny. They have a way about them that drives me absolutely crazy…in a good way.
Per capita the Philippines has to have the cutest and sweetest women on earth and finding a great gal is soooo easy! Just be nice, be interesting, and show respect for their culture…and you have come close to doing all you need to do to find a great gal.
clarrie in bacolod says:
Im becoming used to the new comments section Dave Just put me in the 'grumpy old man ..resistant to any changes catagory '(59years old )…..Actually i hadnt considered the site viewers with mobile phones .Of course I"ll stick around as i somtimes reassure my wife .BEEN viewing your site since the early days of the ' Rooster crows'…..BTW and totally off topic ….wonder if you know how to stop a rooster from crowing (seriously)without causing any injury or pain ..to the rooster …………………..
Gary Wigle says:
Stop a rooster from crowing? Yes it can be done by a vet. In the States it cost a lot. About the same as getting a female dog fixed.
clarrie in bacolod says:
Nope…………….theres an easy way Gary ..You can do it at virtually no cost ……should have told Dave about this 2 or more years ago haha
Gary Wigle says:
I cooked all my roosters back in Michigan…very tasty. Having said that if there are no males then a hen will take over the flock and she will crow…they are not very good at it. 🙂
PapaDuck says:
Dave, My G/F's mother was half-chinese, so she has those chinese type eyes, but not the lighter skin. But all in all nothing beats the beauty of a pinay among other good qualities. Take care and keep the pictures coming.
clarrie in bacolod says:
..How to stop a rooster from crowing ?…..Im sure you havce observed a rooster as he prepares to crow ..he will stretch his neck full length and crow untill his hearts content …often at 4 in the morning .To stop him .. all you need to do is ….ask some of the boys to collect some bamboo strips to make an overnight rooster enclosure .Now the important bit ……measure the height of your rooster in non crowing mode and construct the enclosure …..say ….1/2 inch higher .he can still walk around quite ok but he cannot stretch to crow …….I did this while staying near Kapalong (beyond Tagum …Gary )a couple of years ago ..it worked ok
RandyL says:
Clarrie, what do you do about that occasional pandak rooster? 😆
clarrie in bacolod says:
to answer your question Randyl….no problem the pandak rooster……still running free range and crowing at will
bob says:
dude, those fotos you posted were of filipina mestizas, all the "real" filipina girls ive ever met were brown, 4 feet tall, squat legs, no shoulders, flat noses and had small breast….
Merle says:
I have to agree that filipina's are the most beautiful in the world as are our mestiza children. Hate to make everyone jealous but here is a link to a pic of myself and our 2 little mestiza angels: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/106895281521228076521/albums/5692908633676891025/5692908635105826850

How do I remove the comma's at the beginning and end of the testimonial?
I'm not sure there are commas in the code, maybe it's something you added? Do you have a link?
voila! ;-)
Okay, you have received it??
There are two sets there. I believe the big ones are part of your theme and the little ones are part of your testimonials. You would just have to edit them out from the testimonial itself.
Yes Hal!
Actually upon further investication both sets of quotes are coming from your theme. It's in this file:
Line 132 and 133
Sorry, by yes I meant the comma out of the testimonial itself ;-)
Great Hal, that did the trick!

When I zoom in on the home page more than two times, the slider image breaks.
I've contacted the theme company, and they said that in order to fix it, it might break the normal view.
But I've seen other themes with sliders on the home page, and when I zoom in they don't break.
I know zooming isn't common, but it's a feature that my client's clients use, so it needs to be fixed. Also it's only having these issues on Firefox.
Does anyone have any recommendation on how to fixing it? My last resort is just going with a new theme.
Here's a screen shot.

Version 7
"Memory" is a show tune from the 1981 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now a shell of her former self. The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wishes to start a new life. Sung briefly in the first act and in full near the end of the show, "Memory" is the climax of the musical, and by far its most popular and well-known song. The lyrics, written by Cats director Trevor Nunn, were based on T. S. Eliot's poems "Preludes" and "Rhapsody on a Windy Night". Lloyd Webber's former writing partner, Tim Rice and then-current collaborator Don Black submitted lyrics to the show's producers for consideration, however, Nunn's version was favoured. Lloyd Webber, fearing that the tune sounded too similar to a work of Puccini, asked his father's opinion. According to Lloyd Webber, his father responded,.

Everything about piano sheet music
Sheet music has a history of its own, dating back to the 19th century. In those days, musicians would play classic compositions using sheet music piano. Later on, when bands started performing, music sheets were back in vogue as a means to recreate these old compositions. What is it? Sheet music is nothing but a written notation of the piano notes. Depending on what musical composition the sheet music is for, the musical notes written will also differ. Most people have a wrong notion that it is only the popular compositions, which have recorded onto sheet music piano. However, several unfamiliar compositions have also been recorded using sheet music.

Thibodaux earns its first-ever Top 28 berth
Published: Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 5, 2005 at 2:48 a.m.
BATON ROUGE -- Watch out Lafayette, the Thibodaux Tigers are on their way.
With a 77-61 victory over Woodlawn-Baton Rouge on Friday night in Class 5A quarterfinal play, Thibodaux clinched the school's first ever appearance in the boys basketball semifinals.
Thibodaux (33-4) will play District 6-5A foe East St. John on Thursday at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette for the right to play in the Class 5A championship game.
Thibodaux, the second-place team from District 6-5A, beat East St. John, the third-place team from District 6-5A, two of three times this season.
"This is awesome. It's a first for Thibodaux High basketball," Thibodaux coach Barry Filce said. "I told the kids to feel good about what they accomplished, but we've got two more to go. Let's not get complacent or satisfied about where we are."
Thibodaux never trailed Woodlawn (28-9), and got 26 points from Damian Johnson, who was one of five Tigers in double figures.
Steven Steward scored 12 points for Thibodaux, Karlis Starks added 11 points, and Demetrius McCoy and Brandon Cooks each scored 10 points.
Thibodaux got out to a 20-15 lead after the first quarter, but opened the second quarter by going on a 10-4 spurt that gave it a 30-19 lead with 4:27 to go in the first half.
The Tigers increased their lead to 41-28 at halftime, before the Panthers cut the deficit to 42-34 with 6:12 to go in the third quarter.
"We did as much as we could do. At times we were right there," Woodlawn coach Rod Kirschner said. "But if they play like that the rest of the year, I don't see how anybody can beat them. We got a little intimidated by their size. We just couldn't shoot as well."
With the Tigers up by seven points with 6:12 to go in the third quarter, and Woodlawn riding a bit of momentum, Filce called a timeout.
Following the timeout, the Tigers went to the 6-foot-7 Johnson in the post, where he scored eight straight points for a 50-38 Thibodaux lead with 2:43 to go in the third quarter.
"We did a good job of going to our post guys, and Damian Johnson had another fantastic night," Filce said. "I thought we did a good defending them and not letting them get comfortable. This may have been one of our best efforts of the year. We did a great job of picking up our changes on defense. We did a good job of adjusting."
Woodlawn, which got a team-high 16 points from Michael Ennis and 12 points from Brian Jackson, outscored Thibodaux 7-2 in the final 2:43 of the third quarter and trailed 52-45 entering the fourth quarter.
But the Tigers scored four quick points to start the fourth quarter.
Woodlawn had one last run left and cut Thibodaux's lead to 56-51 with 3:39 to go after a Gerrell Wells 3-pointer.
A 9-3 spurt by the Tigers gave them all the space they needed and by making 7 of 8 free throws in the final 1:29, they sealed the victory.
As Thibodaux attempted its free throws in the final seconds, its fans began chanting, "Laf-ay-ette, Laf-ay-ette, Laf-ay-ette," before rushing midcourt and engulfing the team at the final buzzer in celebration.

Lhota Confirms Decision to Step Down From MTA
MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota confirmed his decision to step down from the agency as he considers a run for New York City mayor.
Lhota said after a meeting of the MTA board on Wednesday that he would submit his resignation to Gov. Andrew Cuomo later in the day. He said the resignation would take effect at the end of the year, and that he would expect to make a decision about whether to make a run for mayor in early January.
As in previous exchanges with reporters, Lhota largely refused to discuss his political intentions, other than to acknowledge he is considering a run. But even in answering questions about the MTA, the agency he will not be sticking around to lead through its recovery from Sandy or its continuing attempts to stabilize its finances, he suggested his intention to stay involved in public debate.
He also said it was "bittersweet" to depart as head of the transportation agency, but expressed no concern that the latest early departure of an MTA chief would be a hindrance to its operations.
"I shouldn't necessarily be doing the rowing to get the job done" as chairman, Lhota said. "It's necessary to do the steering, and point (the agency) in the right direction."

The steering will fall, in the short term, to Fernando Ferrer, the former Bronx borough president who was elevated to vice-chairman of the board during the meeting on Wednesday, and will become acting chairman in January.
Ferrer expressed confidence he could help the MTA lobby for the funds it is seeking in the short term, including for storm recovery. Asked if he hoped to become the permanent chairman, Ferrer responded with one word: "No."
Several state officials said Tuesday night that they believed that Lhota's resignation would take effect as early as Friday, clearing him to begin organizing a mayoral campaign in earnest. The chairman is barred from political activity by the state public officers' law.
Lhota said he was aware that others were mistaken about his plans, and expressed glee about his decision not to correct them. "I get great joy in seeing a mistake in the papers," he said.

How fat cats and government steal the super of the young
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, November, 07, 2012, (8:37am)
Peter Costello on the great super rip-off:
ONE of the accounting tricks the government announced in its midyear budget review was to take over inactive superannuation accounts and treat them as government revenue. If you have an account with less than $2000 and your fund cannot contact you - perhaps you have changed jobs and changed address - the Tax Office can take the money. The Tax Office is supposed to find you and, as the explanation of the measure describes it, ''reunite'' you with your lost superannuation. But the government is banking on a very large number not being found.
In other words the whole transaction was run for the benefit of the government and the fund. Thankfully the superannuation contribution was only 9 per cent of wages. Soon it will go higher. These are compulsorily taken from the wages of low paid and part-time workers. It is never going to fund their retirement.
Under this proposal the government will raise $555 million before June 30 next year. If the average in those accounts is $500 that would mean 1 million ''lost'' accounts. Some people will have multiple accounts. Could it be that hundreds of thousands of Australians don't care enough to ''reunite'' with their super?
More than likely, a lot of these will be young people with part-time jobs where super is compulsorily deducted from their wages. As they move through a number of jobs their contributions are paid to a number of different industry funds. They move house. If they ever get ''reunited'' with their super they can't take the money because it can't be drawn down until they are 55. So they don't bother chasing it and fees start to run down the balance. Now the government can take the remainder in an attempt to balance its budget.
This week I saw the annual statement of one 18-year-old who had $60 taken out of wages for super contributions. That paid for $26 of life insurance premiums, $17 in government tax, and $17 for ''administration fees''. After earnings, the preserved retirement benefit for this employee is $1.52.
ONE of the accounting tricks the government announced in its midyear budget review was to take over inactive superannuation accounts and treat them as government revenue. If you have an account with less than $2000 and your fund cannot contact you - perhaps you have changed jobs and changed address - the Tax Office can take the money. The Tax Office is supposed to find you and, as the explanation of the measure describes it, ''reunite'' you with your lost superannuation. But the government is banking on a very large number not being found.
In other words the whole transaction was run for the benefit of the government and the fund. Thankfully the superannuation contribution was only 9 per cent of wages. Soon it will go higher. These are compulsorily taken from the wages of low paid and part-time workers. It is never going to fund their retirement.
Have Your Say
Four more years of these robdogs and it won't just be the young having their super lifted.
Just a little highlight from yesterday's ICAC inquiry - former NSW Treasurer Eric Roozendaal claimed to be not very good with his accounts, and former Roads Minister Mr R. claimed he had not come to grips with motor vehicle registration. You couldn't make this stuff up could you?!

Remember how the Unions, once so opposed to superannuation, suddenly converted to the idea under the Hawke Camelot, when they realized how much control they could have (and once had) over the funds?
Wed 07 Nov 12 (08:58am)
Why aren't super accounts linked to a tax file number. The taxation department can ALWAYS find you when you owe money.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (08:58am)
Amazing how the "Party for the Workers " consistently appears to rip off the workers they are supposedly supporting.
But then , double standards appear quite the norm for the Labor Party.
Starting from the top.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (08:58am)
Easy fix here for both parties.
Let the Government take the money if below $2000 and a "lost" account.
But since that super fund application has a tax file number on it, the Government should equal that "taken" amount as a Tax Credit or Refund when filing time comes for the tax file number holder.
Very very simple process here.
Government can take the money but has to refund it in tax refund or tax credit when next tax return done.
The money will never make interest anyway, we are talking about the Australian Super funds here.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (08:59am)
Could it be that hundreds of thousands of Australians don't care enough to ''reunite'' with their super?
I think that is about the crutch of it.
I am not sure why you describe this as 'fat cats and government steal the super of the young' - The young should better track their own super. It should probably be instilled into them from school or their parents how important super is later in life.
What is the alternative? Big Brother tracking our every movement?
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:01am)
Off Topic but also in todays SMH FYI at http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/former-un-official-says-climate-report-will-shock-nations-into-action-20121106-28w5c.html
"THE next United Nations climate report will ''scare the wits out of everyone'' and should provide the impetus needed for the world to finally sign an agreement to tackle global warming, the former head of the UN negotiations said.
The IPCC's fifth assessment report is due to be published in late 2013 and early 2014."
So over a year out he knows what it will say, never mind what comes to light over the next year. This sounds like the Green Knight's plan C, plans A and B having disappeared up their own rear ends.
And we are supposed to listen to these buffoons and let governments make policy decisions based on their utterances. What a joke.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:03am)
An employer, when forwarding the compulsory super contribution out of his profits (or losses), is required to supply the fund with the employee's income tax file number. The ATO has access to this file number. They have a lost super website for this purpose.
How can the federal government justify this extortion of member funds. Why don't they tell the ATO to find these people. Is Wayne the Goose suggesting that the ATO can't find over 1,000,000 people ??? Are these people failing to lodge income tax returns each year ???
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:04am)
This government is of course a bunch of thieves, with some individual members apparently more inclined to theft than others.
With a talent for wasting everyone's money on climate witchcraft, broadband pie-in-the-sky, education disasters and now overblown Asian century rhetoric, Gillard now seeks to make it all better with more and higher taxes, as well as stealing our super.
Anyone in corporate life trying this caper would get 20 years behind bars.
I'm surprised that Gillard hasn't anointed Bernie Madoff as Labor's patron saint.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:07am)
The end of the article says 4.5% real rate of return is the rate used by fund advisors. I think in this investment environment 4.5% real (above inflation) is too high.
Try using 3.5% real, it will make a big difference especailly as we have had 5 years of no returns which is about -2.5% real!
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:09am)
I doubt Gillard would be troubled by taking other people's money.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:10am)
Another rort,( not necessarily of the Government's making though it is in a position to do something about it) is the generally well hidden and obscure requirement for a new applicant to join a Super Fund to "opt out" of the life insurance schemes attached to the Super Fund. This generally doesn't mean much to a young employee but it sure means a lot to the underwriting life insurer and to those in the super funds getting the kick backs.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:11am)
My understanding of Superannuation is that you need a Tax File Number in setting it up. Therefore, every superannuation is traceable by the Tax File number.
Surely the Tax Office can send notices out with tax receipts to people with the corresponding Tax File number associated with the unclaimed superannuation funds.
That's is a pretty simple way to let people know they have superannuation in unclaimed funds with certain companies.
But then again bureaucracy and common sense are mutually exclusive.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:12am)
People need to be made clear on all of this and given information as to how they are able to trace ALL their super monies and roll this into one fund. This service is free from charge. Don't allow these grubs to have your money. One day, they will want access to the BIG bits of your super. This is no joke!
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:20am)
No doubt there will be plenty of ALP supporters to tell us how this theft of private funds is great and simply proves how 'smart' the ALP are.
Attacks on freedom? Personal smears of opposition? Destruction of border protection? Theft? All in a days work for the ALP.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:21am)
It pales into comparison with the systematic and systemic theft from industry super funds by the ALP and union officials.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:43am)
It won't be fees from the fund. Small accounts cost funds money which is why super funds want to move them elsewhere. Super funds are legislated that they cannot charge more in admin fees than the fund makes in investment returns for accounts under 1000, it's called member benefit protection.
The insurance will certainly eat the account away but not the admin fees.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (09:56am)
another example.
20 yr old uni student - part time fast food delvery job.
Contributions - $217
Investment "growth" - $3 - LOSS
Insurance premium - $11
Tax on contributions - $31
Net - $172
In the event of his untimely death - $48000 cover.
3 observations:-
The growth is actually a loss.
Very few people realize they have death cover- even less have a will.
The death cover could cover his uni debt.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (10:02am)
Superannuation the greatest Ponzi scheme ever perpetrated on the public? Every week billions of dollars are gouged out of employers further limiting their ability to create real wealth, supposedly for the benefit of their employees in their retirement years. While those who have cashed out or about too may have significantly benefited from the scheme, for those retiring in 20 or more years, most will only get pocket money rather than a pot of gold.
Superannuation has distorted the economy, creating a mountain of regulation, an army of accountants, inflating the price of property and shares while bloating executive wages of all those who manage and advise funds and those entities in which they invest.
Wed 07 Nov 12 (10:02am)
Much of the good work performed by Costello has been undone by Swan and Shorten in a desperate measure to get money. The lowering of the contribution cap, changing the definition of salary for eligibility for the co-contribution, changing the rate of the co-contribution. None of these measures has hurt the rich as that fool swan would have you beleive but rather it has hurt older middle income earners who have not had the benefit of super throughout the working lives.
But thats just the start of the detremental changes these clowns are going to introduce. Shorten has mismanaged the entire process of the MySuper legislation. Not only has he introduced in in 4 or 5 different bits of legislation, there are conflicts within the different bits of legislation that are yet to be resolved. The main advisers to the whole process have been the union controlled industry funds, while retail funds have for the most part been locked out or ignored.
People need to be awake and be careful. Under MySuper, you could lose your insurance and guess what? Shorten has given an indemnity to the financial institutions so that you have no recourse what-so-ever. MySuper could change your investment strategy and if you lose money, so what, the institutions have indemnity.
This is serious legislation that is designed not for the benefit of the average Joe, but to steer the majority of future superannuation monies into union controlled super funds. There is no other explanation.

20 January 2011
The Mavericks limp into this game having lost 4 straight road games and 9 of their last 12 games. Despite their recent struggles, Dallas still posts an impressive 27-14 record and a 12-6 road record. They did post a 109-100 home victory over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers last night. The Mavericks shot 55% in that victory.
The Bulls are coming off a rare home loss 83-82 to Charlotte on Tuesday night. Unless your name was Derrick Rose, offense was hard to come by Tuesday night. Rose scored 33 but his game winning shot attempt came up just short. In his last 4 home games Rose has averaged 33 points and shot just under 50% from the field. The Bulls will look to right the ship tonight but again may be without Carlos Boozer who is questionable tonight. If Boozer can't go, they will have to find someone else besides Rose and Deng to contribute offensively, much like the way Kyle Korver did against Memphis on MLK day.
Stat of the Day:
The Bulls are 7-1 at home this year against Western Conference teams averaging 105.3 ppg.
Probable Mavericks Starters:
G ŌĆō Jason Kidd, 8.1 ppg
G ŌĆō DeShawn Stevenson, 6.9 ppg
F ŌĆō Shawn Marion, 11.8 ppg
F ŌĆō Dirk Nowitzki, 23.5 ppg
C ŌĆō Tyson Chandler, 9.0 ppg
Probable Bulls Starters:
G ŌĆō Derrick Rose, 24.7 ppg
G ŌĆō Keith Bogans, 3.5 ppg
F ŌĆō Luol Deng, 17.8 ppg
F ŌĆō Taj Gibson, 7.8 ppg
C ŌĆō Kurt Thomas, 4.0 ppg
Current Line: Chicago (-3.5), Over/Under 185.5
If Boozer canŌĆÖt go the Bulls will have to find some sort of combination of offense from the likes of Gibson, Thomas, Korver, Brewer, and Asik. However, despite their win last night the Mavericks have still struggled lately and playing the back end of a back-to-back should help the Bulls. ItŌĆÖs also tough to see the Bulls drop 2 in a row at home given how well they have played at the UC this year.
Bulls 96 Mavericks 88

Since scoring a podium in the first grand prix of his Yamaha return at Qatar, Rossi has come home inside the top five just once, at Jerez.
He has also crashed twice in the past two races. At Le Mans he was able to recover to 12th, but at Mugello he suffered an early exit after making contact with Alvaro Bautista heading into Turn 3, Poggia Secco, on the opening lap.
Team-mate Jorge Lorenzo meanwhile took a dominant win and with it the championship lead, and his total is now more than double Rossi's.
"The Barcelona race will be very important, especially after recent results," Rossi said. "I want to get on the podium in Spain.
"For a few days after I had the crash at Mugello, I hurt everywhere.
"Fortunately I was able to start training immediately and I did not waste any time.
"It will be very important to make a good qualifying [in Spain] and start from the front."
Yamaha team director Massimo Meregalli backed Rossi to arrest his recent slide, adding: "Valentino needs a good result here as he has had some bad luck in the last two races.
"We are ready for him to recover what he has lost over the last two rounds and perform as we know he can in Catalunya."
