When I try to include an HTML form in a WordPress blog post, it screws up the formatting. And yes, I am doing all my editing in the "HTML" mode and not the "Visual" mode.
Steps to reproduce problem:
1. Add a new post with this as the contents (in HTML mode!):

2. Click Preview and then view the source of the preview page. It looks like this:

This is problematic because we browsers interpret the added

—In the August Archives (1981;141:1125-1127), Hart and Anderson excellently reviewed the withdrawal syndromes after cessation of antihypertensive therapy. Concerning the interaction of clonidine hydrochloride and β-blockers, we would like to make the following comments based on our clinical studies.1The deleterious effect of propranolol hydrochloride on the clonidine withdrawal reaction has been well verified.2,3 This might result from the blockade of β-receptor-mediated vasodilation, and, if so, β1-selective blockers should be beneficial. In a pilot study of four hypertensive patients, the previous administration of clonidine hydrochloride, 0.3 mg three times a day, was abruptly changed to atenolol, 50 mg twice a day, while diuretic therapy continued.1 All these patients had disturbing subjective symptoms of restlessness, sweating, headache, and insomnia within 24 to 36 hours after the last dose of clonidine.

Merchant: Rios is a Good Opponent For Manny Pacquiao
By Chris Robinson
It can often be a mistake to take things at face value in the sport of boxing, but there are signs pointing to an April clash between former lightweight champion Brandon Rios and eight-division titlist Manny Pacquiao taking place.
On Saturday night in Carson, California, Rios overcame a spirited effort from contender Mike Alvarado on his way towards carving out a 7th round TKO victory in one of the best fights in recent memory. In his first official bout at 140 pounds, Rios showcased a rock chin, deadly combinations on the inside, and the same kind of blunt power that allowed him to bully foes in the lightweight class.
For veteran HBO analyst Larry Merchant, he got exactly what he expected from Rios this past weekend.
"Going in, I've been telling people this was Gatti-Ward IV," Merchant told me on Sunday night, referencing one of the sport's more memorable trilogies. "I think everyone saw that. There were very high expectations that it would be a great brawl, and it was. Which was terrific. I thought Rios was a little too good for him, a little bit more athletic. But I thought that Alvarado put up a game battle."
Before even being asked, Merchant mentioned the possibility of Rios facing off with Pacquiao, who is eyeing a December 8th fourth meeting with Mexico City's Juan Manuel Marquez.
"A younger brawler against Pacquiao I think would be a fight everybody in boxing and people beyond boxing would like to see," Merchant claimed, showing his fondness towards the matchup.
The buzz on Rios is high at the moment following his triumph over Alvarado, yet he would be considered a sizeable underdog if a fight with Pacquiao were to come off. Logic says that Pacquiao's unconventional yet deadly attack would prove to be a handful but Merchant points towards Rios' brute strength and willingness to lay everything on the line reasons enough to make the fight happen.
"I've been saying for a while, that Pacquiao needs a fighter who will come to him and fight him." Merchant continued. "But it's also the kind of young, tough guy who you might not want to see in your face all night long. You don't get the answers until you see the fight, I'll just leave it at that. I think he'd be a great opponent for Pacquiao and vice versa."
As much as I like Rios, Pacman destroys him in an entertaining fight.Comment by jcamarena79 on 10-18-2012
Nope..sorry Larry but Rios is just not ready for the Pac Man. Don't get me wrong, Rios is an exciting fighter to watch but that's it, he's a one dimensional, flat footed fighter and loves fighting on the inside and…Comment by Rip Chudd on 10-17-2012
I don't like this fight, it's Pacquiao vs Margarito lite. But it's not like Floyd will ever take the Pacquiao fight, so oh wellComment by Derranged on 10-17-2012
[QUOTE=Steve Hanson;12614003][B]Vodka Breath Merchant[/B] just means a good opponent because he'll make Pacquiao look devastating. Rios is slow, dumb, has no defense and can take some punishment. He will fare somewhere between Hatton and Margarito against Pac. Rios would last…Comment by fallen9182 on 10-17-2012

I only list with one company as I only get renters calling me from this company and they also charge but with my permission. So I was surprised to get a telemarketing type call requesting to list my home with this new company. So not only did they steal from me the are apparently fishing for rental listings and basically stealing properties from this other company letting them do the work for them.
After searching I noticed that this company and Nebraska Lifestyles are at the same as location and there fax number is the same. Also the sample properties on the front of there site are properties Nebraska Lifestyles manages so they are linked companies. [continued below]....
I would beware of this company as they have already shown deceptive business practices and are charging for a list of homes that are at the very least made up properties obtained without authorization or agreements with landlords. They also appears since they called me that they have obtained a copy of another companies list and are reselling this information again without permission.

The champions responded well to losing an 11th minute goal to Tannadice midfielder Stuart Armstrong with efforts from Efe Ambrose, Kris Commons and Joe Ledley.
However, at 2-1, the visitors were handed the chance to draw level when referee Bobby Madden surprisingly pointed to the spot after Celtic defender Adam Matthews tackled Gary Mackay-Steven but Forster saved from United skipper Jon Daly.
Commons grabbed his second from the spot 10 minutes into the second half before Anthony Stokes notched a double to complete the rout, with Johnny Russell scoring late on for the Taysiders.
There were suggestions later that Madden had awarded the penalty for tugging, which was not lost on Lennon. He revealed on Friday that Celtic would be seeking "clarification" over Spanish referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco's performance during the 3-0 Champions League home defeat by Juventus on Tuesday night, when he allowed some blatant manhandling of the Hoops players to go unpunished.
The Celtic boss laughed when he said: "I wish Bobby had been refereeing on Tuesday night.
"It was never a penalty. It is a great recovering tackle. I've seen it again. I think he (Bobby) said he tugged his shorts or shirt but he didn't, he recovered brilliantly and won the ball cleanly, there was no contact.
"We scored six goals and it could have been a lot more.
"I think the players, off the back of Tuesday, wanted to put in a strong performance. That's not easy, they would have been hurting, but they picked themselves up very well and some of their football was fantastic.
"We went out and played like a Champions League team."

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Officers arrested three people with a truck full of stolen fireworks on Wednesday morning, the Aiken County Sheriff's Office said.
Aiken Department of Public Safety officers stopped a truck on Powderhouse Road near Crawford Avenue for driving without headlights around 4 a.m. An officer saw the truck pull out onto the road from an area next to a fireworks business on East Pine Log Road.
After requesting help from the Sheriff's Office, one suspect ran away while the other two were detained. Petersons Fireworks, located on the 500 block of East Pine Long Road, reported a storage unit that was broken into.
Investigators arrested Allen Jackson, 24, and Lancy Cheatham, 24, after confirming the stolen items were from Petersons Fireworks. David Richardson, 26, turned himself in later Wednesday morning, the Sheriff's Office said. Each person was charged with breaking into motor vehicle and grand larceny.

PADRES: Young's pitching, Venable's defense keep playoff hopes alive
Padres remain 2 games behind Giants in NL West, 1 1/2 behind Braves in wild card
SAN DIEGO ---- Chris Young did the same thing Wednesday night that he has done time and time again since joining the Padres in 2006 ---- he delivered.
With the help of two highlight-reel catches by fellow Princeton grad Will Venable, Young and four relievers breathed life back into the Padres' pennant hopes with a combined four-hit shutout in a 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park.
The victory, in what might have been Young's final start with the Padres, allowed the team to stay two games behind the San Francisco Giants ---- a 3-1 winner over Arizona ---- in the National League West standings with four to play. It also kept the Padres within striking distance in the NL wild-card race, 1 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Braves, who beat the Florida Marlins 5-1. Heath Bell closed out a franchise-record tying 20th shutout with his 45th save.
"I love it. I love environments like that ---- the crowd, the energy, the intensity," Young said. "Every pitch matters. It's what you play for, and it's a lot of fun to be a part of it. I'm just thankful to have this opportunity. It's unbelievable and, hopefully, there's more to come."
Young (2-0) won't start again this season, unless the Padres need him in a one-game playoff or they reach the postseason. His return next season is also in doubt because the Padres would have to pick up an $8.5-million club option to bring him back, otherwise he becomes a free agent. Young acknowledged that the thought that this could have been his final start as a Padre crossed his mind.
But none of that mattered.
Even though his fastball topped out at 86 mph, and he bounced several breaking pitches, Young kept Chicago's offense off-balance throughout an 82-pitch performance. The hallmarks of a good Young start ---- inducing popups and getting hitters to flail at bad pitches ---- were in full effect.
The only man to earn a postseason victory for the Padres since the 1998 National League Championship Series, Young didn't wait long to let the Padres know this was his night.
Chicago's Kosuke Fukudome led off the first inning with a walk and Starlin Castro singled, the two then advancing into scoring position as part of a double steal. But neither scored, as Young got a ground ball to third base from Marlon Byrd and went on to strike out Aramis Ramirez and Xavier Nady.
"He doesn't give in," manager Bud Black said. "He has confidence. … He knows the hitters.
"He knows exactly what he wants to do."
In the two instances in which Young wasn't on, he turned to a fellow Ivy Leaguer for help. Venable, who missed Monday and Tuesday's games with a sore back, showed off his health when he took extra bases away from Alfonso Soriano with a leaping catch to start the second inning. An inning later, he robbed Ramirez of a home run that would have given the Cubs a 2-1 lead.
Young finished with six strikeouts and earned his first win since returning from a 5 1/2-month absence because of shoulder issues.
"In a pennant race, you want him out there pitching for you," said first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. "He's proved it all four times he has been out there (this season)."
The Padres took a 1-0 lead in the second inning without a ball leaving the infield. Gonzalez drew a leadoff walk and went to second on Yorvit Torrealba's bunt single. Chase Headley then singled off Nady's glove with the ball rolling toward the middle of the infield, which allowed a hustling Gonzalez to score from second.
Ryan Ludwick made it 2-0 when he doubled to start the fourth inning, moved up on Torrealba's sacrifice bunt and scored on a wild pitch by Randy Wells (8-14).
The Padres added a run in the fifth on David Eckstein's one-out double.

Liverpool Message Board
you are viewing a single comment's thread.view the rest of the posts
No one posting
Looks like a balls up by our friends at Yahoo! There were plenty of posts following the match yesterday and all was right with the world until about 11.15 GMT when they switched over to the new layout. For some reason they are not displaying any posts between the 15th and the time of the switch over. It does not look like they have lost the content because if you go to the Yahoo Liverpool home page and look at the Yahoo message board box low down in the right hand column you can see the latest posts. However if you click them it does not present the thread but just takes you to the message page.
Does this mean my words of wisdom from earlier will be lost to posterity?

Yea this sucks! Dave, there were plenty of posts yesterday and unfortunately it doesn't seem that you'll be able to read any of them, and there were plenty of conversations and discussions on various things..
Ironically, I think you'll find it humorous, that even though Swans fielded a weakened side in prep for their trip to Wembley, and we won 5-0, bringing us to 49 goals for the season vs 47 all of last season, it was primarily negative because of the WBA/Zenit results. And I do concede that we will probably not overturn Zenit, but I also enjoy living in the moment and a 5-0 thumping, which we've done 3 times now in the league, along with a 17-0 scoreline in our last 4 home wins..
Some themes to appoint Carragher/Stevie as co-managers right now. Even one comment (take your guess) of sacking Rodgers, hiring Wenger and then re-appointing Rodgers as his assistant..
I thought it was April Fool's day.. And you picked a bad day to return, this is really beat!

I actually saw a few yesterday on my phone, but as try to make a habit of not posting right after a match, whether a good or bad result, I did not really engage in the discussion. For me I think its too hard not to get carried away with either a good result or a poor result while the emotions are still high, so waiting for the next day usually for me puts things into perspective.
But maybe that is not the case for everyone if they are still harping on the Zenit result. However for me there were quite a few positives to take from the match other than the result.
Not a lot for Pepe or the backline to do, but a clean sheet will boost confidence. Coutinho breaking is duck of course, but also a lot of interplay he was the center of was good to see. But the lad does need to work on his game off the ball as what penetration the Swans had was down his side of the pitch, so he needs to develop a defensive relationship with Jose imo. Sturridge was huge and I'm glad Stevie gave up the second spot kick as it looked to me he was getting a little frustrated with all his good play not resulting in a goal when others were scoring for fun.
But my heart also goes out to Borini. I know he's not a favorite on here, but the lad looks like he's really trying (maybe trying too much is part of his problem). I actually think I heard the crowd give him a big cheer when he went into the challenge that injured him, as it seems they appreciated the effort he was putting in trying to win the ball back so high up the pitch. I just hope the supporters stay patient with him. I don't know if ultimately he's good enough, and he may have a real battle on his hands with the new young Brazilian coming in, but he's had a nightmare first season, but imo we can't judge him till he's had a settled, injury free run at the first team.

Unfortunately, after a few years, my monthly fee more than doubled without warning. When I called customer service, I was told I was being charged a $10 monthly fee and a $7 statement fee. As I am a seasonal user, I asked to discontinue the statements, but was not told that this would mean I would receive NO information at all - no announcements, no information about changes to the contract or fees or PCI compliance, NOTHING. Last year, I discovered my fee had increased dramatically, totaling almost $440 for 8 months, a $300 overage. I was told these were PCI compliance fees I was being charged because my account was not compliant. I am not unfamiliar with PCI compliance. In fact, at a previous job, I was responsible for meeting PCI requirements. (If you already practice good security, it's not rocket science; you just fill out a questionnaire.) However, it is not possible to meet standards you are not informed about! I believe this is intentional. Each time I have spoken to a representative, they have been unhelpful, stonewalling and reading from a script, which leads me to believe they'd heard the same complaint many times over.
On another occasion I was told by customer service that if I wish to cancel my merchant account I must inform them in writing, and was given an address, so I drafted and mailed a letter. This was misinformation; there is a specific form they require to be faxed, to the correct number. This delayed closing my account by a month.
Finally I was able to close the account, my last fee of $21.99 (this is $5 higher than normal, for some reason) withdrawn May 3. However, my bank statement shows a $129 PCI compliance fee withdrawn on June 28! I was essentially told they bill retroactively for the entire previous year (what??) and that no supervisor was available to speak with me but that she could request a supervisor call me back. I asked what time their office closes, and returned the call myself this evening as I did not expect to hear from them. I spoke to a supervisor, who flatly refused to consider a refund. I have read other reports that they charged customers a $250 cancellation fee. (!) I will be going to my credit union tomorrow to discuss this, and close my account if necessary.
I have switched to another service that allows me to swipe cards on my phone, and it has been just great so far. (I'd plug them, but I'm not posting this to advertise.) Easier and MUCH cheaper. It's worth getting a smartphone just for that, IMO; my card sales are more than enough to subsidize the increase to my cell phone bill. If you are looking for a merchant account, ask the sales rep who will actually be processing your transactions and research THAT name.

Normally I'd go on and tell everyone how JEALOUS i am of my friend who just got a psp, but something more interesting recently came up. A friend of mine decided to run for class president, and asked me to direct and edit commercials for him. His running is more symbolic than anything, emphasizing how the class president is nothing more than a popularity contest. Oh well, he'll win! he has my excellent commercials, right? come check them out at

Frank was on the air when Hurricane Kate ravaged the Big Bend in 1985 and when Katrina delivered her deadly blow 20 years later.
He was there when governor chiles died in the last days of his term. 1998 and the tumultuous election that put Florida on the map for all the wrong reasons in 2000.
Frank was on the air when the world ushered in the new millennium and the day the world stopped turning September 11, 2001.
If it made headlines in North Florida or South Georgia in the past 36 years, chances are you heard it from Frank Ranicky on WCTV.

The Vee Bar Ranch is an amazing place and offers everything a family/solo traveler would ever want from a real vacation. Do you enjoy being treated like a treasured guest or a longtime friend at your destination? Is amazing scenery a priority for you? How about delicious food and really comfortable accommodations? Do you want to make vacation memories by participating in many once-in-a-lifetime activities? Or, does your soul just need the sound of rushing water (from the Little Laramie River) as you read and rest on your front porch? As a family, is real "family time" important to you? And, do you delight in watching your children make new friends and have a great time just being a kid ? The Vee Bar Ranch offers every one of these vacation fantasies. I don't need to tell you to enjoy your vacation here... you simply will!

My granddaughter and I came to the Vee Bar in June of 2012 and are coming back again this year. We loved every minute of our stay at the Vee Bar and highly recommend it to anyone !

I stayed here with a friend in May and had the most lovely visit! Rode horses, sat in the hot tub while the snow was falling, had fun in the John Wayne Saloon and chilled by the fire in the morning with Kitty Boy and coffee. The food is incredible and I even got the cookbook! I love the Vee Bar Ranch and can't wait to visit again. One of the most relaxing trips I ever had!

The ranch exceeded all our expectations. The staff members were courtious, efficient and helpful. The rooms were wonderful, well layed-out and comfortable. We were at the ranch for rest and fishing and as luck would have it my wife caught a fish right out our back door. I on the other hand caught the big one down by the dam only to see it get away before the picture. The surroundings are peaceful and provide a great deal of time for one to read, fish or ride. Great experience.

Staying at Bar Vee Ranch was well worth the oneway 14-hour car ride from Branson, MO. No cell phone service, no TV all music to my ears. Kari, Brent and Staff are exceptional hosts. The food is 5-star. You can't beat sneaking a cookie from the cookie jar in the Lodge each evening while sipping on a cup of coffee in front of the Main Lodge fireplace. The accommodations were beyond expectation. Well kept, cozy neatly appointed cabins were just right for our family of 3. The John Wayne Saloon was perfect for an after ski libation. We stayed in early March to catch some Spring Break skiing at Snowy Range. This is the perfect location providing for a perfect spring family ski vacation. We will be returning!!! Thank you to everyone at Vee Bar. Scott W.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending a week at the Vee Bar back in the Summer of 2007, and have since been wishing and hoping to plot my return! The atmosphere, lodging, hosts/hostesses, recreation, and FOOD were second-to-none! Definitely wake up early before breakfast to see the wranglers bring in the horses that you'll be riding later in the morning [The sight of pillowy dust and the sound of the thundering hooves that raise it are exhilirating to witness!] ...DO go on the cattle drive that culminates in a campfire round-up/BBQ and an overnight in a tee-pee...Tubing lazily down the creek does a soul a world of good, as does a fair hike with Lefty [And good Old, FAITHFUL Retriever DUKE!] into the most pristine and beautiful glacial terrain, with wild flowers blooming amid the snow caps...And every day is a good one at the John Wayne Saloon, where the hosts/wranglers throw a great - albeit regrettable - farewell party while awarding everyone a special acknowledgement. THIS PLACE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD! You arrive as a stranger yet to be known (even to yourself!) and leave having met friends your memories leave you feeling destined and blessed to have wandered upon! GO!!!!! Tell Lefty and Kerry that I said, "Giddy-Up!"...I WILL return!

What a comfortable and well-appointed cabin. The ranch provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere and the staff was friendly and helpful in getting us on the cross-country ski trails. The breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. We failed to make dinner reservations in time, however, to join them at the ranch, so had to head to town. Accommodations in town were sparse and the wait was long for a weekend evening meal, so plan ahead. This is a place we'll be back to again - soon.

We absolutely love staying at the Vee Bar. We go at least one weekend a year and look forward to it all year. Our kids bring up the Vee Bar regularly. The rooms are great, the food is excellent and the company is always wonderful!

Just upgraded to 2.6.1 . So far so good, however some bugs seem to occur for me.
Whenever i write a post and hit the post button, my page goes to an error 404 with the url stating http://xxxx.xxx/wp/wp-admin/post.php as being non-existant. Now when i refresh the page to http://xxxx.xxx , the post which i wrote will be there. This happens for both post and page and link.
Now the same problem occurs if it was Manage->post/page/link . As soon as hit save, i go to a 404. But when i go to the main permalink the edits are there.
Last issue i have is that i have a major white space between my main contents and footer but not in the permalink or page.

To the Beat of His Own Drum
The world is filled with many wonders, yet, there are only a few, that have been deemed as "magnificent". Baton Bob, a man who parades the sidewalks in Atlanta, Georgia, from downtown to midtown, and all surrounding areas, is absolutely a moniker of magnificence, marching to the beat of his drum. At first sight, he appears as a man with a fetish for women's attire; a drum major's onesie, bedroom lingerie, a Dorothy Hamill ice skating outfit, the Saturday night special which includes form fitting, gold lame sequined shorts, with a matching midriff bandeau-the final accessory to any costume that he adorns, is a baton. With imagination and brevity, he marches down the sidewalks of Atlanta's busiest streets, twirling a baton and making magic along the way. There are some who find it strange and even "crazy" that a man would pummel the streets dressed like a woman, twirling a baton as if he were the soloist in a parade. Don't be confused-Baton Bob is the parade. I capture a 42 second moment of Baton Bob in Midtown Atlanta. In the last 15 seconds, Baton Bob's antics, are met with my words, and the rest of what you see is pure magic.
