I bit of honesty before I let my love unfurl: I almost skipped Super Turbo entirely back in the day. My enthusiasm for Street Fighter diminished after Hyper Fighting. I played Super, but it didn't do a lot for me, and I wasn't willing to drop another eighty-some bucks on a third SF cartridge. I saw Super Turbo as a big improvement, but I didn't spend nearly as much time with it as I did with World Warrior or Hyper Fighting. By the time the Alphas and SF3 rolled through, I was too busy building PCs to play FPSs to care about fighters in the slightest.
So in my mind, Hyper Fighting has always been the pinnacle of street fighting. A shot of pizzaz was added to the original game, but no stupid new characters, no crazy changes, no weird super bars. I now realize how simple and how sad my world has been for the last 15 years.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix has opened eyes which can never again be shut. It benefits from an extra glossy exterior coat painted over a freshly retooled and rebalanced engine. Some of my lust for this game could be based on the lush HD spites and the cleverly remixed soundtrack. In the end, whether it's the heart and soul of ST that hooked me or if I am wooed by a glamourous remake of one of my top 5 favorite games, the result is the same: HD Remix is the best fighting game I have ever played.
I've always been crazy for SF2 games. I would carry around the strat guides and learn all of the moves and combos. But I never dug into the minutia, the frame counting. I never got to see first hand all of the depth available in ST. Now that I have seen it, I cannot look away. There is so much intricacy, so many ways to win, so much to know about each fighter and how they match against every other fighter. All of which is balanced so delicately, especially in this new Remixed version. If you haven't and you're interested, check tournament champion turned lead designer David Sirlin's write-up of the changes to each character. It's important information from a strategy perspective, but it's also a fascinating look into the process of rebalancing a time honored classic. Also check his interview with Dan Hsu.
After downloading this game and realizing how amazing it was, I remembered a project I'd set aside about two years back. I picked up a SF 15th Anniversary arcade stick from Gamestop on clearance for $30 (can't believe these retailed for $129). The hardcore community seemed less than impressed with the parts used in this stick, but I had an easy to follow tutorial to upgrade the parts. $30 was a reasonable deal, even for just the shell, which had cool art and an authentic Street Fighter feel about it.
Aside from the less-than-perfect stick and buttons, the controller is only compatible with PS2/Xbox, and I was interested in playing Hyper Fighting on Live (and now HD Remix). This was the tougher barrier to enjoying my stick (heh), since there's no easy way to convert a PS2 or O.G. 'box controller to 360. You have to open a 360 pad and hack it if you want to make a 360 arcade stick.
So a few weeks ago I pulled my shit together and did just that. I ordered the original arcade parts I needed (iL Competition stick and convex buttons, another $30) as well as a new wireless 360 controller to replace my victim ($36 for a refurbished pad and 20GB HD from Circuit City, not a bad deal).
The stick that's stock in this Nubytech setup is a bit less precise than a real iL/Happ Competition stick. My biggest complaint was with the amount of travel in the buttons. You can press them 3/4 of the way down without firing the switch. You also have that travel on the way back up on repeated pressings. It gives the controller a mushy, imprecise feel. The Happ buttons have absolutely none of this nonsense. Any downward travel at all triggers the switch, and instantly my Shoryuken stuffs Fumes' Zangief and his stupid lariat.
So I ripped the arcade stick apart, took the PCB out, removed the old wiring and the original Xbox headset jack. I learned how to soldier, broke the PCB on my wireless 360 pad a few times, figured out how to fix it, and wired it up to the new buttons/stick.
I thought I took more interesting pictures, but I guess not. I am glad I went wireless instead of wired as some prefer. I also like two small touches I added that weren't in any tutorials I saw. Under the controller base is a compartment that held a spindle which was originally for the wire to wrap up on and store. I removed the spindle (just two screws) and placed a battery case inside the bottom cavity of the stick. This makes it super easy to change the batteries, but it also conceals all of this, leaving the outside looking clean. I also added an extension cable for the Live Headset to hookup to. I ran it out of the hole where the original was, which is also nice because it has finished plastic as well. The bare wire looks a little jank, but it retracts nicely into the plastic compartment when not in use.
I love the stick, it was a fun project, difficult at times, but well worth it. Playing HD Street Fighter on a 100" screen using real arcade controls satisfies that 12 year old Jer who could never even imagine such a thing, let alone believe it was possible *tear*.

INDIAN LAND – Posters in Paula Adams' classroom feature a key phrase: "We all use math every day."
Adams, a math teacher at Indian Land High School, wants her students to know that math will be a large part of their daily lives, even if they don't pursue careers working closely with numbers.
One of her aims is to help prepare her students for the real world.
Dennis Dunham sat in the lounge area in Starr Hall reviewing his schedule, wondering what he's going to do with the dead time between his classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Dunham, a sophomore at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster, is taking 14 hours this semester. Tuesdays and Thursdays will be inconvenient, as he has a nearly four-hour gap in between classes.
Cold sweats, shakes and restless nights were normal for Toren Volkmann. Total memory lapses were common in his life.
Alcohol controlled his life for years.
Volkmann, a Washington state native, started drinking in middle school and soon turned into an alcoholic. After years of binge drinking, sickness and a host of unfavorable consequences, he turned his life around.
Now he and his mother, Chris, travel the country telling their story of struggle, confusion, hope and perseverance.
Alexis Sanders is adjusting to life in the South, while Dr. Suzanne Penuel looks to become even more active in the local community.
Sanders and Penuel are the two newest full-time faculty members at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster. The Lancaster News caught up with both of them recently to see how things have been going so far this semester.
Alexis Sanders
VAN WYCK – A little more than four months after a Van Wyck resident found herself homeless, there will be a celebration for the arrival of her new home.
A new Spirit model mobile home from Clayton Homes of Lancaster rolled onto Rosemary Fann's rented property in late October, just months after she lost her previous home and was almost forced to live in a tent in her front yard.
Fann was taken in by her pastor, Jon Morgan, and his wife, Kristine, of Christ Fellowship Community Church, who then helped spearhead several fundraisers for her.
INDIAN LAND – The fifth-annual Oratorical Expose, sponsored by the Lancaster District of the AME Zion Church, took place Sept. 24 at El Bethel AME Zion Church in Indian Land.
The event, held each fall, gives local teens a chance to sharpen their public-speaking skills.
Nearly 20 teens competed in this year's contest.
Each of the 25 churches in the district was asked to spearhead a training forum and pick a student to represent the church.
The Humane Society of Lancaster SC has raised money for a new sign for the Lancaster County Animal Shelter in hopes of raising the visibility of the shelter off Lynwood Drive.
"Not too many people even know that we have a county-run animal shelter, or if they do, they are not sure of exactly where it is," said Humane Society president Mary Reimers. "The street sign erected by the S.C. Department of Transportation is woefully lacking as to size and content."
Josh Beckham, a second-year teacher at South Middle School, says the classroom is where he belongs.
Beckham worked for Founders Federal Credit Union as a sales representative after graduating college. Though the job allowed him to travel and meet people daily, he said he knew God was steering him in another direction.
So the Lancaster native started an alternative certification and began teaching history at South Middle last year. His first year went so well, the Lancaster County School District honored him in a big way.
A fun Halloween event for children is coming along as planned, though organizers say they still need more volunteers.
The Boo Fun Fest, now a function of See Lancaster SC, gives area youth a Halloween alternative to going door-to-door trick-or-treating.
The event, from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 31, will be held on the City Hall parking lot that faces the Springs House. Activities include a trackless train, various games and opportunities for the children to collect candy in a controlled environment without the potential risks of trick-or-treating door-to-door.
INDIAN LAND – A person is on the ground dead, and it's your job to figure out how long the body has been there and what lead to the death.
What are all the parts of the digestive system and what should you be aware of when treating a diabetic patient?
The answers to those inquiries and more are being unraveled this semester in Jill Haun's classroom at Indian Land High School.

Home Secretary leads EU discussions on how to tackle terror threat from extremists returning from combat in Syria
Betraying new anxiety about the threat of Islamic militant groups in West Africa, Washington is for the first time offering rewards totalling $23m (£15m) for information leading to the capture of their top leaders in the region including Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, based in Nigeria.
DNA samples taken but Western experts say it is unlikely sworn enemies would be killed together
Seven members of a French family, three of them children, have been abducted in Cameroon three days after seven other foreigners were taken away at gunpoint in neighbouring Nigeria, raising fears that Islamist militants have started a campaign of capturing Western hostages in the region.
Salif Keita found fame with the Rail Band of Bamako in the late 1960s, then with the Ambassadeurs. Both revelled in combining Afro-Cuban and native elements, with their classic line-up of electric guitar, balafon, kora and brass.

After speaking with Kevin D. Brown and going over *to the penny* what I was paying at that time, he assured me, repeatedly, that he (Merchant One) would save me money on credit card processing. Their advertised rates sounded/looked great, but the fraud and deception came to light after sign up when all the hidden fees and miscellaneous charges began to appear.
After a few months of seeing fees that greatly exceeded what I was previously paying, I closed the account. To add insult to injury they proceeded to bill me a termination fee of $300. This was after all the time and energy I wasted in this situation. If this isnt extortion, I dont know what is. This company and its employees are thugs, plain and simple.
And, if that weren't enough, they put a charge-off on my credit report putting a ding in my otherwise perfect credit. This was after I refused to pay their $300 ransom which was disguised under the term "cancellation fee."
Dont walk, RUN from this company. You have been warned. Search and you will find scenario after scenario just like mine, and worse.
I'm actively seeking participants for a class-action suit against Merchant One. Please contact me if you have been subject to the fraudulent practices of this corporation.

I love this plugin but it is now giving me an issue and I cannot save any changes from the settings page, I get this error (only on this plugin, all others are working fine):
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/options-general.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server Port 80
Seems quite a common error but cannot find a real answer anywhere - I have searched and found suggestions for mod_sec in .htaccess file but they have not worked for me. Also deleted and reinstalled the plugin, but still the same issue.
Any ideas on the problem or how can I make changes to the settings without using the settings page.
Many thanks in advance.

Art in Action 2015-16 Docent- Mounter- Hanger-Labels Volunteers.pdf
Main Board Schedule
For AIA Label Makers:
Each class has a label maker whose job it is to setup and print all the labels needed for their grade level. Before the first AIA lesson, all labels for the entire year should be printed, and stored in the AIA art box for each corresponding grade. Lead docents will check to make sure this happens before the first scheduled lesson.
Please use the label templates provided here. There is one file per grade. They are setup for Avery #5160 Labels (30-up White, 1"x2&5/8"). We suggest entering all the student names first and then doing a search and replace for the Artist Name to create the labels for each lesson.
Please print two sets of labels per student per lesson. One label is put on the back of the artwork at the beginning of the lesson. The other label is used later for mounting the artwork. Docents are asked to mount and label each lesson as soon as it is completed so the art is ready to hang in the classroom, main board, school events and art shows.
Thank you for making AIA labels!

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press
SPOKANE — A Spokane police officer was ordered to be immediately jailed Friday, two days after he was convicted of using excessive force in the 2006 death of a mentally ill man.
Karl F. Thompson had been free since his conviction in Yakima on Wednesday. Defense attorneys fought the detention motion, saying they intend to seek a new trial, but U.S. Magistrate James Hutton rejected their arguments.
"I order the immediate detention of the defendant," Hutton said by video feed from Yakima.
Although Thompson faces up to 20 years in prison, federal prosecutors have indicated they plan to seek a sentence of eight to 10 years. A sentencing date has not been set.
Some three dozen law enforcement officers packed a federal courtroom in Spokane, along with some family members of victim Otto Zehm, and there was plenty of tension as Friday's video hearing proceeded.
As Thompson, 64, walked out of the courtroom after Hutton's ruling, officers stood and saluted him.
Thompson's attorneys declined to comment afterward.
Carl Oreskovich, an attorney for Thompson, has said he plans to seek a new trial based on allegations of juror misconduct. Oreskovich said he witnessed jurors watching TV reports of the trial while it was under way.
Thompson was convicted on charges of using excessive force against Zehm and lying to cover up his actions in the March 18, 2006, beating from which Zehm died two days later.
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors this week declined to say if they plan to bring additional charges against other Spokane police officers in the case. U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby refused to disclose whether the investigation was ongoing.
Zehm's family has also filed a civil lawsuit against the city and numerous police officers, seeking damages for the death.
Oreskovich has said the allegation of jury misconduct will become part of a motion to seek a new trial from U.S. District Court Judge Fred Van Sickle, who presided over the just-concluded trial.
Thompson, defense attorneys and the judge all stayed at an Oxford Suites hotel in Yakima, along with five of the 12 jurors. Oreskovich contends that jurors had breakfast in a common area that had at least two televisions showing various news updates on Northwest Cable News. Oreskovich believes watching those newscasts exposed jurors to prohibited information about Zehm.
Prior to closing arguments, the jurors sent Van Sickle a note seeking more information about Zehm's employment status, how he was viewed in the community, whether he used drugs, if he had mental illness and whether he had a criminal history. All of that information was barred from disclosure during the trial by Van Sickle through previous rulings.

Anne Frank's original red checked diary has always been on display in the museum, but now visitors can also see Anne Frank's other diaries and manuscript papers. On 28 April 2010, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands opened the new diary room as part of the ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the Anne Frank House.
The history of the Anne Frank House
Buy the diary, other books, DVDs, museum catalogues and postcards!
Anne was given the red and green checked diary on her thirteenth birthday on 12 June 1942. A few weeks later her family had to go into hiding. In the secret annexe Anne soon filled her original diary, and continued writing on loose papers.
When in March 1944 Anne heard that diaries would be collected after the war, she decided to completely rewrite her diary. Her great dream was to become a famous writer and journalist. Her rewritten version is made up of 215 loose sheets, twenty of which are displayed in rotation in the museum.
The two other books on display are Anne's 'Favourite Quotes Notebook', in which she copied out quotations that she liked, and her 'Tales Book', with short stories she made up herself.
In 2009 UNESCO added Anne Frank's manuscripts to the World Documentary Heritage List.
The rooms in the Secret Annex are empty, because the furniture was carted away directly after the arrest.
Anne Frank, writer
An overview of what could be seen earlier in the museum
Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan have had a terrible fight. I've never seen anything like it, since Mother and Father wouldn't dream of shouting at each other like that.

The basic intent of SmokeAlarmSafety.org ( formerly Firecrusade.com ) is to create as much public awareness about fire safety and prevention and the dangers of ionization alarms that are in most homes and other habitable structures. The recent name change was due in part for the site to be found more readily when potential viewers do a web search. Firecrusade.com will be redesigned and up again by end of Sept.
Recently in an effort to bring an end to the dangers of ionization alarms, we have reached out to the United Nations and World Health Organization in hopes they will place a worldwide ban on the sale of these dangerous devices and to force the hand of the CPSC - Consumer Product Safety Commission to place a recall on the 100's of millions of these hazardous devices in use in most homes.
We have also gained over 5300 signatures for petition to demand the American Red Cross and United Way to stop installing ionization alarms as part of their Fire Safety Campaign. Hundreds of comments from concerned and outraged citizens that have signed the petition were sent to both Red Cross and United Way Presidents and Directors of their Fire Safety Campaign, but after 6 months they have yet to stop installing these dangerous devices or make a public announcement about the dangers of having ionization alarms in homes.
Please sign the petition to the right and voice your concerns by making a comment as well.
The U.S. fire death and injury rate within homes and other habitable structures is largely in part due to the use of ionization smoke alarms and the inability of the ionization technology to detect smoldering smoke. It is also due to the fire codes that kept affordable fire sprinklers out of homes for over 114 years.
The smoke alarm manufactures falsely advertised ionization alarms as smoke detectors for over 40 years when in fact they do not detect smoldering smoke but only detect Products of Combustion the condition which can take smoldering smoke 30 to 60 minutes or more to reach the temperature at which combustion takes place. This long delay at which ionization alarms give warning has caused a multitude of deaths and severe burn injures worldwide due to smoke inhalation or occupants being trapped by flames.
More people every year in the U.S. and worldwide are killed or are injured from smoke inhalation than from contact with flames.
The U.S. ranks 133 (.75 fire deaths per 100,000 ) out of 172 countries. Compare this with the 3 countries that have banned ionization alarms due to the radio active content used in them, Luxembourg ranks lowest at 172 ( .10 fire deaths per 100,000 ) Netherlands ranks 170 ( .14 deaths per 100,000) and Switzerland ranks 169 ( .17 per 100,000) See News Videos & Statistics page.
To put this in context, the annual losses from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and other natural disasters combined in the United States average just a fraction of those from fires." 'Fire in the United States', 13th Edition, Federal Emergency Management Agency Page 1, Oct 2004
From 1896 to the present, the fire insurance companies that established the NFPA - National Fire Protection Association to write the fire codes, have contributed to the loss of more lives than all natural disasters combined. They did so for over 114 years by keeping fire sprinkler systems out of homes by making code requirements that were not affordable for the average homeowner and not required. With the help of UL - Under Writers Laboratories, in the 1970's, ionization alarm smoldering smoke tests were fraudulently rigged so ionization alarms could be approved and given UL Seal of Approval so Manufactures could flood the market with these less expensive to make, dangerous and inefficient alarms.
See Documents and Letters to Officialspage .
Please sign petition below and help spread the word about the dangers of carbon monoxide leaks in cars that also kill people. Its a good idea to have a CO alarm in cars, especially older vehicles.
Thanks to the Feal Good Foundation and 186,995 supporters who signed the petition and efforts to gain majority support of Congress and the Senate, The Zadroga Act was approved and 9/11 1st responders now have the health care they need and deserve !
The petition below expired but hopefully gained the attention needed by White House to demand the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall and ban dangerous ionization alarms. Senator John Kerry sent the CPSC a letter in 2008 regarding these dangerous devices not working and asked them why are they still being sold ? They did nothing but give him lip service just as they did when Dean Dennis, who lost his daughter in a college dorm fire along with 4 other students, made 2 presentations explaining the dangers of these ion alarms that do not detect smoldering smoke in time for safe evacuation.
Please go to this link and sign petition and share it with as many friends and relatives as possible via email and on facebook etc. 100,000 signatures are required to gain a response from the White House Administration ! Thanks for your support !
U.S. Senate and Congress soon to ban ionization alarms and mandate photoelectric alarms as is currently taking place in Australia. See Smoke alarm inquiry: Keith Golinski, who lost 3 granddaughters and daughter-in-law in house fire, calls for mandatory photoelectric alarms.
We are currently contacting members of the United Nations and those who were involved with the Montreal Protocol that successfully placed a worldwide ban on CFC's in 1989, seeking guidance on proposing a worldwide ban of ionization alarms.
Only 5 U.S. States have photoelectric smoke alarm mandates so far but even those States have not banned ion alarms and there are loop holes excluding older homes. 5 European Countries have banned them due to ionization alarms having radioactive element in them which leaves well over 6.5 billion people in 45 States and 189 countries still at risk.
Please join our effort to ban these dangerous and often deadly devices. Thanks for your Support !
Great news everyone !
John Feal has joined our effort to ban dangerous ionization alarms and his supporters have added 1280 signatures and over 100 comments which have been sent to the Presidents of the American Red Cross and United Way. Hopefully they will get the message that concerned citizens are outraged by their organizations negligence of installing dangerous and often deadly ionization alarms.
The Red Cross and United Way know they can no longer ignore this issue which was brought to their attention on Aug 12th 2015 and that they need to do the right thing and stop installing these dangerous devices and to warn the public around the world about the dangers of ion alarms.
Petition update
A fire safety petition I encourage you to sign
John Feal
Nesconset, NY
Jan 15, 2016 — Thanks again for your support with everything on the Zadroga Act. We're all relieved to know the uncertainty and anxiety is no more. Here's a video from a news conference last month. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/12/19/responders-lawmakers-celebrate-zadroga-act/
The reason for my message today is a friend, Dennis Fox, has a petition on Change.org to ban ionization fire alarms. His petition says in part "Many lives have been lost due to the fraudulent testing and the deceptive false marketing by the smoke alarm manufactures whom flooded the market with these dangerous and often deadly devices over last 50 years, despite the safer more reliable photoelectric and photoelectric / heat alarm being available. Why ? They cost less to make so more profit to manufactures."
Please read the petition and consider signing it if you agree. https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-american-red-cross-stop-installing-ionization-smoke-alarms
Happy New Year to you all. Keep on supporting good causes!
Please help stop preventable fires that endanger families and pets all over the world! Please click link and Sign and share petition to help bring an end to these dangerous and often deadly ionization smoke alarms.There are now over 700 face book shares and growing but there are over a billion people on FB and billions more people around the world that are at risk of the dangers of ionization alarms. Please help spread the word to as many friends, relatives and contacts as possible via FB, email and word of mouth .
Thank you for your support!

SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 08, 2016POSTED: Sunday, May 08, 2016
Dittomusic's attitude and conduct is terrible. Their response is fast when it involves transferring funds to them. However, when it comes to transferring funds to the customer and general inquiries, their response is slow and downright rude at times. They will reply with ridiculous excuses for their unprofessional behaviour when they have already shown that they can respond promptly. Their response is selective I.e. When a customer intends to transfer funds to them. At the moment, they have promised me to refund an incorrect charge directly on my credit card within 5 to 7 business days.
Over 15 business days have passed and I have yet to receive a reply to my email. Dittomusic used to have a good reputation. However, over the past 3 years a lot of labels and artists as week as reviewed have reported poor conduct and dishonesty.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Casee Wilson - the truth.
AUTHOR: ceomattparsons - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 02, 2013POSTED: Monday, September 02, 2013
Casee. You had a minor support issue and tweeted me (the CEO) personally on a weekend with agressive and condescending language. I tried to help immediately and to this you sent me an abusive and agressive email containing several offensive statements and telling me how to run my business. You then posted libellous statements over as many websites as you can find without stating that a) we already gave you a refund b) everything happened within the correct time-frame.
We are here to serve musicians and give them the chances my brother and I had when we were in a band. If the CEO of the company taking time out to support you on a weekend isn't good enough then we wish you all the best.

#3 Consumer Comment
A response to the rebuttal by Matt Parsons
AUTHOR: caseewilson - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, August 03, 2013POSTED: Saturday, August 03, 2013
My name is Casee Wilson and several weeks ago I uploaded my new release, Riptides, onto the Ditto Music system for a release date of the 31st July.
Initially, I had difficulty submitting my release, as the Ditto Music website kept adding erroneous charges to the amount owed, and I had to contact the Liverpool office by phone to try to resolve the situation, which had already delayed the upload of the release by several days while I first waited for an email response to the ticket I submitted, and then tried to get through on the phone.
The employee I spoke to eventually assured me that the release would be given priority. At this point it still had at LEAST a fortnight until release day, so I paid the £26.40 to release my album and have it delivered to stores including iTunes and Amazon. At this point, I was advertising that it would be available on the 31st July, given that Ditto's own website stipulates that iTunes generally takes 24-48 hours and Amazon takes 4-7 days - Ditto had my music for 14 days, so I had no reason to believe there would be an issue.
Release day arrived, and neither Amazon or iTunes were selling the album. It's now three days overdue. I promoted its release day extensively and have now had to apologise to my fans for not delivering what I promised. By the time I can telephone again, on Monday, it will be FIVE days late. This is a paid for service, and my reputation is being damaged by the unprofessional conduct of Ditto Music.
This report seeks to provide a rebuttal to the rebuttal by the CEO of Ditto Music, Matt Parsons, who has not replied to any of my tweets to him asking how this can be resolved. I would ask him to of course confirm that I have a release through Ditto Music (I can provide the bar code if he is having difficulty tracing it), in case he feels that my report is a hoax and I would say that in no way is the service provided by his company at an acceptable level. It doesn't matter how many artists Ditto are distributing, they should be keeping track of EVERY single release, including the releases from small independent artists who are trying to build a reputation and a fan base.
Please note, I am based in the UK, not the US. Please disregard the state of Alabama. Many thanks.

* Ditto Music have not been contacted by any credit card companies regarding refunds.

As you will see HERE, I founded the company in 2005/2006 with my brother Lee.
We now employee many staff and have offices in Liverpool and Nashville. Ditto Music have around 50,000 artists and 6,000 record labels worldwide.
The URL is a link to the exact same hoax comment re-posted on a different site, with a comment underneath exposing it for the hoax it is.

The Siege of Krishnapur
Winner of the Booker Prize.
India, 1857—the year of the Great Mutiny, when Muslim soldiers turned in bloody rebellion on their British overlords. This time of convulsion is the subject of J. G. Farrell's The Siege of Krishnapur, widely considered one of the finest British novels of the last fifty years.
Farrell's story is set in an isolated Victorian outpost on the subcontinent. Rumors of strife filter in from afar, and yet the members of the colonial community remain confident of their military and, above all, moral superiority. But when they find themselves under actual siege, the true character of their dominion—at once brutal, blundering, and wistful—is soon revealed. The Siege of Krishnapur is a companion to Troubles, about the Easter 1916 rebellion in Ireland, and The Singapore Grip, which takes place just before World War II, as the sun begins to set upon the British Empire. Together these three novels offer an unequaled picture of the follies of empire.less

Secondly, this thread discussed brick-built launches. I think your ship would look even better with one instead of the pre-fab grey one you currently have.
Thirdly, all that brown starts blending together, some dark-brown planks on the deck would give it some variety.

The dark tan is a nice touch as well.
I do have two small suggestions for improvement though.
The bow of the lifeboat was usually pointed into the same direction as the ship's bow.
And the spanker sail was usually attached to the top yard, not the bottom one.

Brazilian beef barons are holding Paraguay's government to ransom over land inhabited by uncontacted tribes, says Survival International.
Almost 9,000 hectares of ancestral land has been returned to Enxet Indians in Paraguay, more than a decade after their campaign to reclaim it began.
UN officials have been warned of the imminent threat to the lives of Paraguay's last remaining uncontacted tribe.
Leaders of an isolated South American tribe have issued a desperate public appeal on behalf of their family members hiding in forest targeted by cattle ranchers.
The United Nations is being urged to remove a controversial Brazilian cattle-ranching firm from an initiative designed for businesses committed to ethics and human rights.
Eighty-one high school students from Mennonite schools in Paraguay are training to be "peace servants" at Paraguay 2009, the Mennonite World Conference assembly in July.
Theological educators in Anabaptist-related institutions around the world are being invited to a Consultation on Theological Education just before Mennonite World Conference's fifteenth assembly in Paraguay.
Health care workers from around the world who share a common Anabaptist faith will consult together about their work as Christian medical practitioners at an international gathering in Paraguay.
By late-February, more than 1,500 international registrations had been processed for Mennonite World Conference's 15th global assembly in Asunción, Paraguay, which is to be held from 14-19 July 2009.
The election of former Roman Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo as president of Paraguay is a further sign of a left-wing shift in Latin America, according to long-term observers of the region's sometimes volcanic political scene.

Is there a way to move the wp-config.php file (with all the connection goodies) to a private directory to keep the script kiddies away?
I didn't see anything in the forum or the documentation that would apply to this.
Is there a way to move the wp-config.php file (with all the connection goodies) to a private directory to keep the script kiddies away?
I didn't see anything in the forum or the documentation that would apply to this.
As I understand it, that's a PHP file, and that info can't been seen.
Please review: Hardening_WordPress
I did read that before posting and didn't find anything on moving that file out of the public directory.
/wp-admin/ -- the WordPress administration area: all files should be writable only by your user account.
Just because they can't write to it doesn't mean that they can't possibly view it and see all the connection information in clear text.
I know that part of my responsibility is to secure all the directories properly but being able to move that critical file into a private directory seems like a pretty basic security practice.
You can move the wp-config.php file to the directory above your WordPress install.
This means for a site installed in the root of your webspace you can store in outside the webroot fine.
Hopefully I won't forget that feature again!
Added this to Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#Securing_wp-config.php
I've seen this a number of times, but when I move wp-config to the wp-includes folder, I get an error that wp-config does not exist. I'm guessing I'm misunderstanding how to do this. It's easy enough to understand that you wouldn't want anyone to read wp-config.
Why is it set by default to be able to be read publicly anyway? Is it to simplistic to simply change the permissions on this file and leave it where it is? This really doesn't apply to automated attacks does it? It seems the config file would only come into play if there was an actual hacker trying to pry into your site a bit.
Thanks for the thread on this...it's an important issue. I always took security for granted until my site was destroyed. Live and learn :)
I think by up they mean in the other direction, outside your public_html folder.
Some hosts only give you access to public_html, so you might need to contact your hosting support to put a file outside of public_html.

ORB continues to baffle me. Price down when I guess it should go up, and visa versa. Well, most of the time anyways.
Good news... Jeffries raised price target to 21, Hylas2 sat is up and running,Dawn is on its way to Ceres,and a successful launch of a target vehicle for MIssle Defense program....
Bad news.... In the Jeffries note when raising the price target,they lowered their 2012 EPS target to .95-1.00 based on ( grrrrr) a delay in the launch pad turnover from Wallops to ORB. I read six weeks, but I am not sure from when. Six weeks from the last estimate would be mid Sep.Six weeks from today is after the next earnings release ( where they can make another excuse?). I am annoyed at this all in that when looking back on the Antares updates this all should have happened two years ago!
On another front , the Loral Space/MDA merger is being questioned again by the DOJ. In more than 60 % of these second requests the deal falls through. Maybe if things do not work out ORB might be a player again?
Sentiment: Buy
There you go Clam!!! My contribution from the Three Amigos to get the price down by saying it was up! Geesh .......... It looks like the pad certification IS getting closer, however.

I installed Widget Logic to build some contect aware sidebar in combination with the 'recent posts' widget of the theme. Problem is there is only one sidebar available for the pages.
I have 3 subjects (read categories) and there 3 pages where I want to show the corresponding posts via a 'recent post' widget. Depending on the page, I want to show the related posts.
Put 3 'recent post' widgets in that single sidebar and set them up with differentl coding in the widget logic :
is_page('Consultancy') + 'Fiscal' + 'Accounting' for the 3 pages
which works fine.
in_category(65) + 64 + 63 for the 3 different categories
But this last code doesn't work, not in combination with the above code (&&), nor if I put only this code in widget logic. Even tried the slug name, the categorie as text and as number.
So any ideas why this does not work? Any solutions / advice to make it working?

Jan 16, 2013 7:19pm
I only spotted the "movie match" today. You see it on the tab list after clicking on the "matches" link to the left. Anyone have any idea what it is?
Jan 16, 2013 9:25pm
If you're talking about the "Crazy Blind Date" thing on the right side of the page, that's a new feature.
I have never seen a "movie match" tab here.
What that could also be is another new feature called "Events" - I've never been able to test it because it's not available here, but perhaps that might explain it.
Jan 16, 2013 9:56pm
I had to turn off my ad-blocker to see the full tab. But here's a screencap of it. Mystery solved :)
Jan 16, 2013 10:14pm
Hmm, very interesting, never saw anything like that here before.
So did it find people that like the same movies you do? Did they list them on their profile? I'm curious where it is getting people's movie preferences..
Jan 16, 2013 10:18pm
I'm assuming it goes by keywords in your profile where you write which movies you like, since it doesn't really explain how it works it's magic.
Jan 17, 2013 1:05am
It's actually pretty simple, I think. They just added a handful of movie related questions to the question database
And possibly they also use past movie related questions. As near as I can figure, questions are categorized, so they just added a movie category (along with sex, lifestyle, etc)
Why did they do this? Maybe it's some sort of sponsorship deal...
Jan 17, 2013 4:16am
It is sponsored by Pop Secret popcorn. They did add new questions too. When you go over to the tab, on the right it asks you to answer more questions and they're all movie related. There's also a contest with a trip for 2 to New York for participating. Interesting.
Jan 17, 2013 3:51pm
What's the URL? I'm not getting this tab or anything. (I did find the questions and answered most of them...)
Jan 17, 2013 3:56pm
It's on your matches page, there is a new tab - Search, Quiver, Favorites, and now Movie Match (in blue)
Jan 17, 2013 4:45pm
Well that's the problem, it's not there. I see only search, quiver, favorites. I tried things like okcupid.com/movie-match, with no luck. If you can see the tab, presumably you can tell me what it links to?
Jan 17, 2013 4:55pm
Clearly it's only served to certain users or most of us would have already seen it. When I first read AmuseMeRightNow's post, I double-checked and I didn't have it.
Perhaps because it's an advertising thing people with A-List don't see it, but I'm more inclined to think it's just showing for a certain subset of users right now.
Jan 17, 2013 4:56pm
Anyone else here with A-list that are seeing that tab?
Jan 18, 2013 10:28am
I have faux-A list and I see the tab.
Jan 18, 2013 12:22pm
Here is where it takes you when you click on the "details" of the contest. Perhaps you can click on the okcupid promo to see if it gives you the tab?
Jan 18, 2013 12:50pm
Maybe A-list people don't see it because it's an ad, basically?
Jan 18, 2013 1:09pm
Maybe. I have ad blocker that blocks most of the stuff except when they do those dumb tv show promo things where there are okc "users" that are tv characters.
Jan 18, 2013 9:50pm
Did they do that more than once? I only heard of one instance of that..
Going to the Popsecretlabs or Popsecret website doesn't have any impact on the match page tabs, not that I expected it to.
Now that we have one person saying they have "faux" A-List that does see it, next Q is whether someone who has "real" A-List sees it.
I'm guessing they are selectively targeting certain user demographics, or rolling it out progressively.
Jan 19, 2013 10:58am
I have the tab but the questions on the right are not movie related. I checked several. They're just the regular questions. So I still don't get how they are giving me these movie match percentages.
Jan 20, 2013 9:27am
I have the tab, but it doesn't have any new questions, just guys who have similar movies listed or something? I also don't see anything about a contest.
Jan 20, 2013 9:36pm
Not A list but have seen it for a while.
There's been a lot of movie related questions for the promotion.
I'm curious as to why it wouldn't be an entire site issue. I'd wonder about the legalities of that, since almost all contests these days have to be pretty open. That said, maybe it's pitching towards those who have previously stated that the love of movies is important to them. Or the fact that the contest crossed with the Blind Date feature is causing some issues.
Oh! Just looked at it again. In its original iteration you could only see what percentile "movie match" you were. Now it has that layered over the regular match numbers which is MUCH more helpful and fun. :D Cool.
Also, in addition to the blue tab, they now have a movie cupid figure doing an advert for it right next to your regular matching options. So, more advertisement and more useful and fun as an option. Guess a few got it a bit early, but it looks like it's out of minibeta now.

We've had our driveway taken out because we could'nt fit two vehicles. Our brick work has been redone twice because it was done inproperly.
Their has been standing water in our yard. our fireplace had to be taken out because it was crooked and it took 2 weeks to get done. a half-wall was worked on 3 times. ceiling worked on 3 times.
You know the list goes on and on. This has been just an awful experience, not only have we had fix up after fix up most of the work is not done satisfactory.
They may be trying to fix things, but when we signed our contract on this home we did not agree to buy a fixer upper for 180,000! I home school my children and it's been very difficult having workers in and out of this house.
We have not had the pleasure of enjoying this home like you think your going to when you buy a new home. Their have been so many things they have fixed it just would take too long to write.
After all this we now have cracks in our cement slab in our garage that is hollow in the center and is getting worse cracks in our porch and driveway also.
We have hollow spots in the foyer,kitchen and dining room.In our subdivision homes have been bought back because of settlement issues, foundations sinking and major structural damage.
For us we now have to find out what the extent of the damage is to our foundation and worse case , you guessed it Pulte will still be fixing. How long who knows! I will never ever buy another home By Pulte.Yes, most everything can be fixed, but to what degree. whats tolerable, certaintly not 15 months and on-going still.
A new house should be a new house! perfect, no. Nothing is. I expected afew things to go wrong, but the foundation after 15 months, I don't think anybody prepares for that. Could it be fixed right, would you trust a company that has shown you otherwise.
