This is a notice to all add-meta-tags plugin users.
If you upgrade WordPress to the latest 2.1 release, it is highly recommended to also update the add-meta-tags plugin to the latest version (v0.9 at the moment of writing), so to avoid experiencing empty description META tags in single post view, the consequences of which are unknown.
WordPress 2.1 contains fixes which affect the
get_the_excerpt() function's operation outside the loop, which is used this plugin, resulting in empty description meta-tag. Posts in which a custom excerpt or a "description" custom field has been set are not affected.
The Add-Meta-Tags latest version is 0.9.

iTunes Review
Each movie or TV show episode is individually priced, although you can buy whole seasons of TV shows. The pricing seems to be based on demand, as the most recent episode of Mad Men is $5.99, but the episode before is only $2.99. The most common price for TV episodes seems to be $2.99.
Movies, on the other hand, have a much wider range, especially since you can either rent or buy movies. There is also a more expensive option for HD movies. For example, the most recent Sherlock Holmes movie is $3.99 to rent, but $14.99 to buy. The HD version is $4.99 to rent or $19.99 to buy. These prices widely vary depending on the movie.
There are also "free" sections of TV and movie categories in iTunes that list all of the free movies or TV episodes that are available.
This is where iTunes shines. Apple has a good relationship with many of the major networks and movie studios and gets new releases of movies and shows faster than most other video services. If you are looking for the most recent episode of Grey's Anatomy, they have it. If you are looking for the latest DVD release, they have that.
If you like old movies, they have everything from Citizen Kane to Casablanca. They have shows and movies from the most obscure networks and studios, including the Fine Living Network, the DIY Network, FuelTV and DC Comics. Do they have every movie or TV show ever made? No, but they definitely have more of a selection than we've ever seen from an online video service.
The iTunes interface also makes the shopping experience easy. If you know what you are looking for, there is a search function that does a great job of pinpointing what you are looking for, as well as anything that might be related to it. If you are just browsing, they break their videos down into genres, videos that were just added, videos based on what network or studio they are from, as well as a slew of other categories. Needless to say, finding a video on iTunes is an easy task.
iTunes has two options for each video, either standard quality or high definition. Both options work fine, although the HD version is obviously better quality. For the most part, the picture is always crystal clear, but the odd thing about iTunes is that on some videos the audio and the video can fall out of sync. If you pause the video and then play it, the problem is solved, but the video can fall out of sync a number of times while you are watching, which can make for a very annoying user experience. This is especially odd since all iTunes videos are downloaded, which means that Internet speed, which usually causes syncing issues, should have no effect on the video.
Another downside of iTunes is the limited viewing options that it presents because you must download the videos to your computer and iTunes videos are protected. First, you can obviously view the movies from any of the computers that you have iTunes installed on. The only issue is that you can only have iTunes enabled on five devices, so if you have more than five devices or don't have your iTunes-enabled devices with you, you won't be able to access the video. On the plus side, as opposed to other video download sites, iTunes allows you to start watching your purchase or rental before the video is completely downloaded.
Unlike other video services, there are also a limited number of third-party devices that will play iTunes video. Apple TV is of course the main device, since both iTunes and Apple TV are owned by Apple, but some Internet-ready TVs also include iTunes, so you can play videos directly through those TVs.
For being a part of one of the biggest tech companies in the world, iTunes has limited customer service options. In order to even get to any options, you need to wind through a maze of options on their support page, which is attune to the automated phone directories many customer service numbers employ. Once you drill down to a part of the support site that is close to your question, you either have the option of reading an article about your issue or emailing Apple customer service. There is no customer service phone number, although the email option is fairly quick. All in all, not the best customer service options we've ever experienced.
If you are looking for a specific movie or TV episode or want to rent a very recent release, iTunes is a great option for you. Since it poses problems with viewing options and some video quality issues, as well as a pay-per-video pricing structure, iTunes is better used as a supplement to a cable subscription or other video streaming service.

America Recycles Day (ARD)
ARD is a national event (November 15th) that promotes recycling, source reduction and buying products made from recycled materials as objectives to a more sustainable society. In celebration of ARD, MDE has created the "Rethink Recycling" sculpture contest and judging ceremony to display students' creativity and promote recycling.The sculpture contest and judging ceremony is a great opportunity for celebrating efforts of the student artists, for media exposure and for promoting waste prevention to the general public. The sculpture contest challenges students to innovatively and artistically use recycled materials as a solution to waste reduction. If you would like more information about ARD, visit the America Recycles Day's web page.
"Rethink Recycling" Sculpture Contest
2015 Sculpture Contest
The 14th annual sculpture contest will be held on Friday, November 13, 2015, at Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) in Baltimore. MDE would like to extend this invitation to high school students. Two entries will be accepted from each high school (additional entries may become available later). The contest gives students the chance to be inventive and create a sculpture made from recyclable or reused materials (see guidelines). Judges will select an overall winning sculpture along with individual recognition for creativity, workmanship and use of materials. Additionally, a "People's Choice Award" is given. Past contests received national recognition and television news airtime. Prizes provided from corporate and non-profit organization sponsors will be awarded to all contest entrants. Past prizes have included items such as gift cards, Nooks and an iPad.
Space is limited so please complete the School Entry Form and fax it to 410-537-3321 or email it to email@example.com, by October 20, 2015, to confirm your school's participation. The Individual Entry Form(s) should be returned to MDE by October 30, 2015, once the participants are selected.
For more information regarding the "Rethink Recycling" Sculpture Contest, please contact Christy Bujnovszky at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 410-537-3314.

Has all that outdoor fun left you spent? Maybe you're just sick of layers, static, and space heaters. Beat the winter blues at this Old Chelsea oasis. It's the biggest spa in North America! While they do offer indoor services such as massage and body treatments, the full experience includes taking a dip in the outdoor baths and warming up in seven different saunas.
One benefit of the National Hockey League strike: it gave people time to play outside on real ice! But outdoor skating could face the same difficulties as the NHL -- a drastically shorter season or outright cancellation. Research from Montreal's McGill and Concordia universities shows global warming is already having an effect on outdoor rinks in Canada.

Emotionally retarded = fixable through therapy
Narcissism = not fixable
Emotionally retarded = fixable through therapy
Narcissism = not fixable
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Wed, January 28, 2004 - 2:20 PMYou just can't see the world very well because you've got an apple hovering in front of your face.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Wed, January 28, 2004 - 2:59 PMNarcissism is healthy function of the mind, just like eating is a healthy function of the body.
Just as someone can have an eating disorder, so to can someone have a narcissism disorder (where the view of the self and the relationship between the self and others is distorted to the point of dysfuntion.)
If someone actually has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, that's almost impossible to treat. First, because psychologists believe that NPD results from a deep underdevelopment of the ego and not just a minor neurosis or reaction to some simple trauma and secondarily because smart narcissists are incredibly talented at fooling therapists.
Common everyday narcissism, however, is not so hopeless. If you RECOGNIZE that the problems in your life are at least partially caused by distortions in your self image (distortions which we all have) and you're open to working on those distortions to improve the quality of your life, then there's plenty of hope.
Everybody's a little neurotic. What fun would the world be if we weren't?
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Wed, January 28, 2004 - 6:35 PMya know i'm finding the key to fighting narcissism is to be active and do stuff you're good at to develop your self-esteem. the only two things standing in the way is one's unwillingness to get up off his ass and do something and the question if you do fail at this activity of whether it was your fault or the people around you.
and sometimes, it is the people around you because there are more sheep than herdsmen in the world.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 1:22 AMThey say happiness happens when you do something that makes you forget yourself. I firmly believe that it is important to your development as a person to be self-aware, to examine our motivations and actions, to be self-vigilant. But beyond being on guard that you are the person that you want to be in terms of your beliefs and ideals, I think you have to do things that are self-less, focus on the rest of the world, forget your 'self.' In the Tao Te Ching, it says that deeds are done so that the doer vanishes into the deed. Ultimately, Alan is right. Being productive is really good for your self-esteem. If we are productive, there is no time to wallow in our own lonely, narcissistic ways. Okay, I'll shut up now.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 5:45 AMyes but can being selfless not be simply another form of narcissim on an emotional level? ie: "i'm such a good person"
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 10:44 PMno, because that's not true selflessness. when you do something truely selfless you risk being hurt and rejected by the person you're doing it for, and what you do for someone really doesn't have anything to do with you but maybe their gratitude.
what's truely sick is when people do things to make others appear that they're a good person. if you came to l.a., you'd run into a lot of these people. i try to tell them "who are you fooling?" but i don't know how. they don't seem to see it as a selfish deed, because in their eyes, they see this as selfless without looking at the word itself.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sat, June 12, 2004 - 9:59 PMdisagree here...martyrs try to be selfless and over ride their own feelings for selfish gains...then they say 'look what i've doen for you'. no one can do anything for someone else without doing equally for oneself and those moments are spontaneous and happen of themselves...
you have to have a self first...you have to have someone home inside and treat yourself with self respect....and it helps to be able to see ones effect on another person...dont do anything self less...the chinese mean by that being so involved in some activity tht you let go of selfconsciousness that is very different. it means to stop all vanity and fears of presecution and letting go of self doubts and complaints and engaging completly in the moment...being 'there'....living 100%
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 9:42 AM"I think you have to do things that are self-less, focus on the rest of the world, forget your 'self.'"
You would quickly starve and die. The very act of remaining alive requires no small amount of exclusionary self-interest. Why do you deserve the food and the roof over your head when there are millions without?
Narcissism is a survival tool.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 11:37 AM"You would quickly starve and die. The very act of remaining alive requires no small amount of exclusionary self-interest."
I haven't heard of too many people starving to death because they forgot to eat while pondering the world around them.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 11:50 AMNot so much nowadays, but old skool Buddhists used to do it all the time.
The point is that attempting to be completely selfless is just as misguided as shutting everyone else out at the expense of number one. Eating food you like is a selfish act; buying yourself a book or CD is a selfish act. There's nothing wrong with that, but pretending that doing these selfish things for ourselves isn't a normal part of being a healthy member of the human race is simple denial.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 2:00 PMBLah, blah, blah (sad little justifications). It isn't selfless if you think about it all of the time.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 5:25 PMI suppose a distinction has to be made between selflessness in an altruistic sense which can be very self aggrandizing and selflessness in the zen sense which just means forgetting self consciousness and being in the moment.
The latter is not a self destructive selflessness all of the time, nor is it enduring. It's more about focus. Like if you bothered to practice a figure skating move so many times that your mind is quiet as you go into a turn, in that moment of execution you may be temporarily free of narcissistic thoughts because your mind is totally focused on the task at hand.
I find at work when I get into a routine, and it's not a slow day, and I focus on cranking out as many panels as I can for the shop to fabricate (getting into the fine details of controlling the robot's production, loading the machine, etc.) I can escape the narcissisistic thoughts for hours and the day just flys by. On a slow day, I actually have less to do, more time to think, and Ironically I might even make more mistakes because my mind might not be so completely focused on the task as it would be on a busy day. Not to mention, time crawls.
Staying busy may help with narcissism, but only temporarily.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, January 29, 2004 - 11:01 PMyeah i get the same thing. i love it when it's busy. and sometimes i even yell at my coworkers and bosses to get their attention to help who i'm trying to help but can't. and as long as i'm doing my best, people can bitch all they want because every time there's someone behind them in line who sees i'm doing everything i can, probably better than anyone else could, because i'm focused. zen. cork on the waves.
but it's a crappy retail job, and when it's slow, there's nothing to think about but my life and where i wish i was, what i wish i was doing, what i wish i could say to people, what i wish i might have said and if that would make situations worse, etc..
maybe narcissism could be fixed by actualizing your inner beauty in real life. incorporate what you have with what you do. and when you have the friends to appreciate that, and the people around you are glad you're on their team, and there's someone who loves you for who you are and who you aren't, and you're proud of what you do, then THERE is your fix for narcissism because it's all around you.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sat, January 31, 2004 - 12:56 PMGood luck trying to fix narcissism.
I like what you are saying about cultivating inner beauty. I personally don't beleive I can overcome narcissism at all but I can learn to find happiness, find beauty in my life, and cultivate beauty withing myself regardless of my helplessness over the apparent personality disorder.
As far as you're retail job. Please take this advice at least... apply for a commercial construction job if you can handle the strength part of the job, or for waitering if you can handle the pressure. I worked retail a while, in construction I have twice as much pay and half as much stress. Wouldn't normally give unsolicited advice but in your case you have made it quite clear you do not like your current job.
Just if you do consider construction stay back from residential construction (Particularly roofing), entry pay in that is only about 10-12hr and the workload is backbreaking. Just try walking up with a package of roofing tile over your shoulder up a ladder 60 times a day and you'll see what I mean. There are much better jobs in industrial construction/shop work/ fabrication/ pipe fitting/ even plumbers assistant if you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Really, anything is better than retail, I'd rather do a week of fixing toilet pvc to sewer drainpipes than deal with bitchy impatient customers all day long with no respect for clerks.
Fecal matter is more tolerable than some customers.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sat, January 31, 2004 - 1:15 PMOne word- PLUMBING. When I was a plumber, I was making $75,000 a year. Which makes me wonder now why I ever got a fucking degree. FUnd your art my friend. If I didn't have rugrats that required my constant attention to brainwash with my particular brand of political propaganda I'd still be doing it. Being a single mother sucks.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sun, February 1, 2004 - 9:47 PMsorry to hear that revo :(
retarius, your advise has been nothing but helpful so far. feel free to take the liberty anytime. same with you revo.
well i've become accustomed to customers. actually i can be quite intimidating to bitchy customers. to friendly people, i'm friendly back. to irrationally angry customers, i tell them why they're wrong. to justly angry customers, i try to help the situation and if i can't, they usually see that there's so much i can do and it doesn't get to me. if they're still pushing, when they're gone i usually have a laugh with the customer behind them. and sometimes, just sometimes karma goes back to the bitchy customer...like the register computer, seriously, being incooperative and making them stand there as i try ways around the logical way that it's preventing me from...which is a project and again, i like projects.
this is temporary. as soon as i get a car, i'll maybe work 10-15 hours there because the rest of my rent will be paid with my paid internship. but time is ticking. i need a car. its hard to save and have any fun on days off with this pay. maybe i could budget better. actually i could budget better. but i'm lazy. so it's fun or car/life, fun or car/life. hmmm.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Tue, February 3, 2004 - 2:24 AMWow, you are less of a narcissist than I, I realize that as you describe your dealing with customers.
My mentality was to do my job as well, and as fast as possible, because I hate waiting on line, I figured other customers want fast service like I do.
I found nice customers a pleasure, and the majority of self absorbed customers no problem. But my narcissism usually flared to amazing heights whenever I was treated disrespectfully by a customer, especially if responding back in a disrespectful way would have led to my dismissal.
my internal dialogue was "HOW DARE they talk to ME like THAT!" and I'd dwell on the tragedy that as a superior being I was wearing an apron and probably in what Americans would consider to be the lowest possible caste of society... with no power to dish it back.
I had to get out before it tore me up inside.

Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, January 30, 2004 - 4:07 AMWhat's wrong with it that needs fixing? :)
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, January 30, 2004 - 1:11 PMIf you're happy and behaving ethically, nothing. Of course 'happy' and 'ethical' are just oh, so easy to pin down, but hey, what's life without challenge?
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, January 30, 2004 - 3:40 PMnarcissism has gotten such a bad rap.
i mean, i'm a narcissist, but look at me! what's not to love?
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Thu, March 11, 2004 - 11:46 PMk...im not reading your replys....just responding to my reflection in the mirror.

Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, March 12, 2004 - 3:17 AMyou made the best point in this whole thread, lizard.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Tue, March 16, 2004 - 11:07 AMI'd rather be narcissistic than have low self esteem.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, March 12, 2004 - 9:23 AMwhats to say that already hasn't been said?
Narcissism isn't something you acquire with experience, it isn't something to strive for, and it isn't something fixable.
Like one of the earlier commenters stated, Narcissism in it's truest manifestation is something totally different than what the creator of this community had in mind. Not to put down the purpose of this entertaining tribe, but Narcissism is no laughing matter. Narcissistic people are engrained with an insecurity that is indefinable to them.
What we think of narcissism is simply a matter of conscience. It is easily reversed with a little forethought. It a normal human habit and one that can be easily unlearned through a little behavior modification. Whenever you feel you're about to do something selfish... think about it. Stop and think what will this accomplish, what will i get out of it, and why is that so important?
True narcissim is a whole other ball of wax in deed.

Re: Is narcissism fixable?Tue, March 16, 2004 - 7:16 AMits hard to tell who's responding to who ;)
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sat, May 29, 2004 - 7:10 AMAbsolutely.
My soon to be ex husband is a true narcissist.
It has cost him his wife, his home, a day to day relationship with his children and very likely will cost him his job if and when his activities come to light.
It's not really a joke at all.
With intensive therapy over the course of years, it can be sometimes helped...a little....but it never goes away.
And with that....I"m off to go play craps. :D
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, March 12, 2004 - 12:39 PMA narcissist must be burnt by their ways to be able to get past it.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Fri, March 12, 2004 - 3:01 PMsimple and to the point.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Sat, May 29, 2004 - 7:10 AMYou would think so. But if it's a true narcissist, even that doesn't do the trick. It's a genuine illness.
Re: Is narcissism fixable?Wed, June 16, 2004 - 7:53 AMWhy the HELL would you want to fix it? Damn, most people don't love themselves enough as it is.

Does 24-hour Wi-Fi cost the taxpayers more? If not, keep it on.
If you allow 24-hour library Wi-Fi access in rural areas, how do you justify withholding the same service from city residents? Our rural neighbors lack access, as do city residents. High cost is a factor in both communities (satellite internet is available to rural residents, but it is expensive). One could argue that 24-hour access to city residents has a greater positive impact than rural residents, if you consider raw numbers.
Congregating around a library to use the internet is hardly a crime. In fact, quite the opposite. Until Mayor McCarthy's smart Wi-Fi is widely available, there is a need for internet access in our community (yes, for night owls). To library director Karen Bradley, consider your library's mission and the answer is clear.

These attacks on Ms. Niccoli are un-American. I am pleased to see religious leaders stand up for her, and Mr. Amedore reinforce his support of the protections of the Constitution (including the separation of church and state). He could go further and denounce the attacks, but as a politician who benefits maybe he prefers to sit this one out. Smearing a political candidate is a distraction from the real issues, like ethics reform in Albany.

To be clear, Clinton does NOT have enough pledged delegates (voters) to win the nomination. Even after the primaries are over, neither she nor Bernie Sanders will likely have enough to be declared the nominee. When is the last time this happened? That is the real news here.
The superdelegates -- free agents who can back whoever they want -- will not select the Democratic nominee for President until late July at the convention. So this article, picked up from the Washington Post, jumps the gun -- even if a Clinton is the probable nominee. Today California, New Jersey, etc. votes. Can The Daily Gazette at least wait until polling ends before jumping on the bandwagon with these pronouncements?

Sanders essentially tied Clinton in Kentucky (she won by 0.5%) and he beat her in Oregon by 9%. Sanders has won 3 of the last 4 primary contests with significant spreads. Shouldn't Clinton, with so much name recognition and party backing, be doing better if she wants to beat Trump in Nov? What does it mean when a "Democratic socialist" from the tiny state of Vermont is pulling out wins?

St Rose administrators cannot argue with the facts of the report -- so they "kill the messenger." That's a tired tactic. But I guess it's the best the college's very expensive public relations consultants have to offer.

Im reaching out to you for help. My debit card was stolen and I have unauthorized debits to my account.
I reported the incident to Chase for stolen activity on my account within a week. Chase was also contacted
via fax. Chase said they would investigate the dispute and get back to me.
Chase has not resolved this matter. I get collection calls every day except on Sunday. Its very upsetting to get calls to pay for unauthorized charges and NSF charges. Its not right for Chase to expect me to pay for someones criminal activity.
Chase was notified and faxed the information of fraudulent activity. I escalated my complaint four times and the phone representative would just transfer me to another. They were indignant and abrupt with their decline decision. Finally a Chase
operation specialist stated that there was nothing I could do. The decline decision will stand. I responded that his decision was unjust and not fair.
After approximately 4 months Im still not satisfied how Chase can steal from its clients. They are like thieves with ties. As of last week Chase offered to settle the charged off account for $200 for negative balance of about $600. I said no! I will not pay someone to steal from me. Im a grandparent raising grandkids with no budget to subsidize criminal activity.
I tried reaching out to NACHA a supposed government agency that rules REG E. I found out its a 3rd party entity for electronic transactions. They support banks in a Pay as you Play scheme to shield banks from being forthright
Please help. I would like to think that justice can be had. I went for a free consultation on this matter.
It would cost $1500 to make it right. I dont have funds to correct this crime.

This is not quite accurate. You state later that they have declined your fraud claim, so they in fact have resolved it. Just not the way you would like.
" They were indignant and abrupt with their decline decision. "
So, they have declined your claim. Your post does not go into the reasons that they gave you. That would seem to have some bearing on the matter. Care to clue us in?
Does it have something to do with the unathorized transactions being made with your PIN? That is the most likely reason for denial.

The Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 was the range-topping version of Mitsubishi Motors' Galant model, available in the sixth (1988–92), seventh (1992–96) and eighth (1996–2002) generations of the vehicle. Originally introduced to comply with the new Group A regulations of the World Rally Championship, it was soon superseded as Mitsubishi's competition vehicle by the Lancer Evolution, and subsequently developed into a high-performance showcase of the company's technology.

Agrees totally with letter
Published: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 7:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 7:41 p.m.
Upon review of Ms. Doretha White's letter, I must say that I concur totally. As stated by Ms. White, Ms. LeBoeuf's constantly negative opinions regarding this president's administration are heartfelt hatred. Every printed word by the letter writer drips with hatred for this president.
No, Ms. White was not playing the race card in her letter. She is expressing basic reading comprehension, which most intelligent readers would understand.
Ms. LeBoeuf cites big government and big spending by the president. Where are her letters that refer to the Bush administration's big government (Patriot Act), big spending (unfunded Iraq War) and unnecessary killing and maiming of thousands of American service men and women for a war based on a flat-out lie?
In other words, if you did not gripe about the previous administration, why are you griping now? Could it be hidden racism? If it's not, you could have fooled me.
To the other writer, Terril Hebert: I did not read any incendiary rhetoric or dumb ideas in Ms. White's letter, only a personal opinion. Additionally, the president has been authorized to take out any person on foreign soil who threatens the safety of the U.S. And you may as well get used to the president. He should be re-elected in 2012. The truth really hurts.

The long and the short of it is that Eddie Jones has some serious thinking to do and pressure on his shoulders to nail it first time. He is expected to announce his EPS squad in just a week's time and today, on the 6th January, there are just 31 days until the BT Murrayfield Stadium awaits Jones and his side for their first International encounter...
The overarching feeling from Friday's press conference is that England are in good hands however there is plenty for Eddie Jones to get his teeth into and we all know how quickly time is ticking by, the RBS 6 Nations is just over 70 days away.
Richie McCaw, like the late Jonah Lomu, deserves his place in the history books as one of the greatest to have ever played our game. He has inspired millions around the world and has left the sport in a better place than when be arrived in it. From this day on the All Blacks will not be the same and one thing is for sure, the man stepping into that 7 jersey has some very, very large boots to fill.
Rugby has lost a true gentleman and a great man. There is a warmth in knowing that the most iconic All Black ever saw his nation make history this autumn however at 40 years old Jonah has been taken far, far too soon. Rest In Peace.
At 12.03pm on 11th November a press release was issued from England Rugby entitled RFU Statement: Stuart Lancaster, the ensuing statement contained the information that England's head coach had resigned 'by mutual consent' and will no longer direct England's elite performance group.
Our favourite New Zealand sportsman was in the news once again this weekend for both his rugby and for his extraordinary off-field act of generosity - and he taught us an important lesson on fetishizing in the process.
A Rugby World Cup Final is the pinnacle of our sport, it is what our elite players strive to be a part of during every moment of their careers and it is what they dream about when they are children.
At the start of the World Cup, in any sport, the hope is that you will get to the final and that the two best teams in the world will be going head to head against each other. As previous World Cups have shown this ambition doesn't always come to fruition however it is safe to say in the 2015 Rugby World Cup that goal has been achieved and the ensuing final has the potential to be one of the all time classics.
Watching the last fixture of the Rugby World Cup pool stages on Sunday night between Japan and United States confirmed one. The term 'Tier 2' might need to be re-addressed sooner rather than later...
If I say that the controversy surrounding rugby referee Craig Joubert is no more than a media invention, no doubt many people will disagree... "NO," ...
Sitting amongst some disheartened Welsh, Irish and English, to witness the same genuine excitement and hope that so deeply resonated in Scottish hearts was extremely humbling. There is no doubt that the British people have a common bond, even if it does sometimes take a great game to truly show this. Scotland will always have my heart and Britain will always be my home.
As an Anglo-Scot currently living in a Australia the results of the Rugby Union World Cup quarter finals doesn't surprise me. Granted Scotland should really have beaten Australia, which would have been a wonderful poke in the eye for the other Northern Hemisphere teams, but really an all Southern Hemisphere semi finals says a lot not just about rugby but the influence that wealth has on talent, organisations and societies.
Sport has the ability to bring together people of all ages. The Rugby World Cup quarter-finals this weekend will draw huge crowds; to the stadiums, to our pubs and to gatherings in homes and the grassroots clubs that are at the centre of so many of our communities.
Perhaps this is going to be a slow process, it certainly seems that way. I'm trying my best to fill that void and find that meaning in my life and I hope that what I am trying to create with the interests I have off field form together to fill that void. They need to as it feels pretty big at the moment.
Facing into this weekend against Argentina, it's likely that Ireland are more psychologically robust this time around, but the Pumas are a quality side who know how to play it tough and smart. Irish supporters won't have forgotten how well Juan Martín Hernández can build a score for his team...
No matter how hard you train, it's what you do outside of the gym that gives you the most results. The science is simple; when we train, we tear down our muscle fibres. Everything else we do influences how quickly we repair them, and consequently, the rate at which our muscles grow.

Should I Paint My Dark Kitchen Cabinets?
I'd like to hear some Apartment Therapy readers ideas on what my next move should be — to paint or not to paint? Other options for updating the cabinets? They're solid wood, but pretty beat up. I'd love to replace the countertops and flooring, but that'll have to wait for the big reno which is at least a year away… right now paint, hardware and accessories is pretty much all I can afford.

I was told this was a result of MBNA merging with Bank of America.
The customer service rep told me they sent me a letter 'asking' if this was okay, and telling me that if I didn't answer, the rate would go up. I never got such a letter.
During phone calls, I was told the new rate became effective in June 2006. Then I was told it happened in March 2006, January 2006, April 8 2006, and December 2005.
I have always paid my bill on time, and usually more than the minimum amount due.
This has cost me over $6.00 per day for months.

Hello all,
I have a hand coded, CSS+XHTML website that I would like to add WordPress to. In other words, I don't want to manage my "theme"/design through WordPress, but instead use tags and code within my existing .html pages to display WordPress posts, categories, etc.
Is there a starting place on the WordPress codex that covers this topic, or articles written by web designers on how they added WP to their website?
I'm really excited about using WP to add posts to my front page, so thanks in advance for any insight.

Excellent 4.5 /5 from 109 reviews
Loved it wish I could have stayed longer
The pool and hottub were nice. The pullout couch was uncomfortable. The food from the lobby restaurant was just OK.
My boyfriend and I wanted a quick weekend getaway and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely coming back to the Polaris area for more shopping soon. And will look into Cambria again!
Most everything was great. Iron leaked water. Sofa-bed was not comfortable to sleep on per my son. Bed was great along with theaccommodations in general.
The hotel was able to have all 4 of our rooms on the same floor and together. We also had a noisy A/C unit. We called and asked if some one could look at it and when we got back to the room it had been fixed. Would stay there again.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

By all acounts BrisConnections must be living in fantasyland
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 14, 2012
BARELY three months ago chairman Trevor Rowe and his fellow directors signed off on the claim that all was not just fine, but stupendously so - BrisConnections' AirportLink was actually worth $1.79 billion more than its value in the books at June 30.
That $1.79 billion "extra" and almost certainly a good bit more has just evaporated.
Unitholders, led by some of the smartest guys at Macquarie Bank, have almost certainly lost the lot, and the banks are going to take a haircut on the $3.5 billion or so they've lent to the project. So the score becomes three and three. There have been three major road tunnel projects in Australia - Sydney's cross-city tunnel, and two in Brisbane; and three have gone belly-up.
So how does this work? The answer is that the accounting rules are a total crock.
BrisConnections reported total revenue of $641 million for the 2011-12 year. Plus a further $11.5 million of financial income.
That financial income plus a claimed tax benefit enabled it to post a $35 million profit for the year and "earn" a very impressive 32.19c on each of its stapled unit. Those numbers are particularly impressive for a toll road that only opened on July 25, after the June 30 financial year close. And so, the trust earned not a single cent of actual toll revenue in that year.
So where did the $641 million of "revenue" come from? Well, that was what it spent on construction over the year. Only in an accounting fantasy could spending be called "revenue".
But there's more. BrisConnections actually paid $271 million of interest in the 2011-12 year. No surprise, it ended up with close to $3.5 billion of debt and other financial liabilities by the time the year ended. It would be at least accruing interest.
Except that those interest payments didn't show in the profit report anywhere. They were accrued away somewhere else.
If they had, BrisConnections wouldn't have been reporting a $35 million profit but a loss of around $235 million, give or take the tax treatment. And the financially unsophisticated might not have believed that BrisConnections actually "earned" 32.2c a unit.
The whole public-private infrastructure model, and all who suck at her teat, have a huge credibility problem. But they're not Robinson Crusoe.
These sort of numbers in an annual report are pure and utter fantasy.
And what sort of a closing comment was this from the auditors, KPMG?
That material differences between estimated traffic forecasts and actual traffic volumes "may impact future compliance with debt covenants, solvency and going concern".
"May" became "did" just a few months later. As soon as there were real numbers not accounting ones.
Unit-holders, led by some of the smartest guys in the room, at Macquarie Bank, have almost certainly lost a now very cold $1 billion. And the banks are going to take a haircut on the $3.5 billion or so they've lent to the project.
BrisConnections was especially ill-timed, as it was, ahem, "successfully" launched just before Lehman imploded and tipped us all into the GFC.
At the June 30 balance date this year, BrisConnections claimed net assets of just under $1 billion. Total assets of $4.6 billion exceeded total liabilities of $3.66 billion, of which $3.5 billion was debt and other financial liabilities.
The biggest asset at $3.8 billion was of course the tunnel - a combination of $3.3 billion of design and construction costs and $529 million of capitalised interest.
Directors said tests showed the asset was not impaired, and accordingly the BrisConnections Group decided there was no impairment. Well, there is now.
Have your say

Man arrest on assault chargesNovember 23,2012WEST RUTLAND A West Rutland man will be in court on Monday to answer to charge of aggravated domestic assault stemming from an incident early Thursday morning.
Matthew Shook, 34, was arrested around 1:40 a.m. Thursday after police responded to a domestic disturbance at Jens Motel on Route 4A in West Rutland.
Police said an initial investigation showed that Shook was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with a woman, who suffered some injuries as a result.
Shook was also found to be in violation of court-ordered conditions of release after a preliminary breath test showed he had been drinking, police said.
Shook was arrested and held at the Rutland jail on $5,000 bail.
He faces a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault and a misdemeanor charge of violating conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

Hello! I'm very new at messing around with WordPress, not trying to ruin anyone's day here with my questions, but I'm not really sure how to go about this.
I would like to change the header height. It's 180px but I'd prefer 150.
This is in functions.php:
// The height and width of your custom header. You can hook into the theme's own filters to change these values.
// Add a filter to coraline_header_image_width and coraline_header_image_height to change these values.
define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'coraline_header_image_width', 990 ) );
define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'coraline_header_image_height', 180 ) );
I'm trying to understand what a hook or filter are. (Changing the value right there doesn't do anything.) Also, all the documentation I've looked at so far says I need to make a new functions.php in the child theme folder...but when I drop one in, the whole site breaks. Grey screen, can't do nothing. I don't know why. Even when the functions.php file in the child theme directory only contains code regarding the header image, the site just won't load.
At the very top of the functions.php file is this:
/** Tell WordPress to run coraline_setup() when the 'after_setup_theme' hook is run. */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'coraline_setup' );
if ( ! function_exists( 'coraline_setup' ) ):
* Sets up theme defaults and registers support for various WordPress features.
* To override coraline_setup() in a child theme, add your own coraline_setup to your child theme's
* functions.php file.
But again, I don't know how to build the child theme functions.php in such a way that it doesn't break the site.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks!
