The D100 manual has a list of approved memory cards. With the exception of the 1 GB microdrive, the capacity limit is 128 MB. Can the camera use the higher capacity/high speed cards such as the Kingston 256 MB without damaging the camera? Does anyone know why there is a size limitation?

I personnaly tried the SanDisk 256Mb Ultra and 512 Ultra and they are working just perfectly. I don't know why the manual is so stupid! With this camera, a 256 is small, and a 512 just nice. With a 512, you can shot around 150 JPEG Fine. That's not luxury... Because when you shot in RAW, it's around 50 (I'm not sure by heart)...I would have like the LEXAR x24, but it's just too expensive! Exagerated compared to the price/performance of the SanDisk Ultra....Good shots...Xav

Practically all cards work with the Nikon digitals. Be sure to test them first. Some cards that are identical will work in one camera and not in another. My company currently uses Lexar 192MB 12X cards which aren't approved by Nikon. The majority work. Some cards have failed, won't read or format. We have 12 D1X's with about 400 cards that we switch back and forth. No real problems. My own D1X I use 256MB cards and no problems so far.Good luck! Try and test before you buy. Steve

No problem so far with 256 or 160 Sandisk cards. Around 80 JPEG fine pics on the 256.

The only limit on the size of CF cards is the 16-bit file system - so we'd be able to go up to 4Gb if such cards existed (and if we could afford them... )I think Nikon are just being cautious in their recommendations. There have been occasional issues with some cards and the D1 series camera - for example the original D1 can have problems with the 512Mb and 1Gb Microdrives, and some Lexar 12x cards could slow down the D1x/h "wake from sleep".Like several others I've been using higher capacity SanDisk cards (192Mb and 256Mb) with absolutely no problems. 256Mb cards are quite a good buy at the moment: two of them are substantially cheaper than one 512Mb card.Alan.

I'm using a plain-vanilla SanDisk 256 Mbyte card in my D100 and it works flawlessly. Right now you can get 256 Mbyte CF cards for under $100, which is much less than half the price of a 512 Mbyte card.Cheers.

Your card should work, as they are supposed to be built to a standard. 512 MB for $159? Can you provide a link to this? I wouldn't mind getting one at that price.Victor Newman

If you are price shopping the D-store, at www.d-store.com, they have bulk IBM 1GB drives for $235. Didn't check their prices on standard memory cards though. I've bought 2 of my 3 drives from them. Just ordered a Mindstor 10GB from them, won't need any additional drives now, but will probably have to get an extra battery pack in order to get full use of it's space.

Currently I'm in my "budget-conscious-mode" after spending for D100, a new computer, and Colorvision monitor calibrator, (yet I'm still missing MB-D100, SB-XX DX and big memory card), so these prices at d-store looks pretty interesting. Is the store reliable ? And what does it mean "bulk" ? I don't care about the fancy packaging, if that's what they will take out for the cheap price, as long as the microdrive can arrive safely. Anybody can help me with these questions ?Thanks.

I currently use a Lexar 256M 12x. It works flawlessly (finger crossed - knock on wood) My wife has asked me to look into more memory (she asked me to spend money...hehehehe!) I am torn between an 1G IBM Microdrive and a MindStor 10G. I like the idea of the 1G MD card but I have heard about reliability issues. I also like the MindStor because of its storage size but it is another piece of equipment to carry.Any opinions or suggetstions?

I had the same problem, Joe, but I went with the Mindstor 10 Gig solution. I use it on my D100 with a mixed bag of CF cards. Right now I will buy the 256 meg cards as they are the best price/value. If you shoot only in the RAW mode, I think the Mindstor solution is the best. It is only about the size of a PDA. Beats having to carry a laptop computer.Only real issue right now is whether to shoot exclusively in RAW mode or to shoot in Jpeg fine/large. That decision makes a big impact on the storage problem.Bob

I purchased a 1 Gig IBM Microdrive from d-store about a month ago. Drive arrived safely and fully functioning within 3 days of order. The "bulk" package is just as you thought, a plain plastic clamshell case similar to those supplied with compact flash cards. Nothing fancy. But who needs fancy when you can save a few bucks... Try this link http://www.imaging-resource.com/ and save a few bucks more. There is also a rebate!! Hope this helps.
#17. "RE: Memory" | In response to Reply # 15
I decided to go with the MindStor 10G. Thats alot of space! I also got the All-in-1 adapter so it will take the Smartmedia from my wifes camera. It was $345 + shipping from d-store.com. Since my PC has a Firewire connection (yippee!) I can Download at 1G/min. It will also act as a card reader when both memory card and PC are connected to it. Since I plan on shooting in both RAW and JPG, it was the way to go.I still like the 1G MicroDrive but it leaves me with reliability, write speed, and power consumption questions. From what I have read, its reliabilty is 50/50 when used with Nikon D series cameras. Here's hoping you are on the good side of that 50/50.
#18. "RE: Memory" | In response to Reply # 17
Joe,I think you made the right decision. It's the one I made, too.Bob
#19. "RE: Memory" | In response to Reply # 17
Joe,I also purchased the MindStor 10G. I have taken over 1,000 pictures using my D100 and the 1G IBM microdrive without a problem. I carry the Mindstore unit and offload to it when the microdrive is full. It's still early but both units have peformed flawlessly. I save all in the NEF format. Oh and yes I also have firewire on my PC. As far a power consumption and write speed goes I find they are both acceptable. My estimation is that I can take somewhere between 200 and 400 pictures before my battery runs down then I merely pop in my second battery and I'm good to go. Thanks for your wishes that I be on the good side of 50/50 issue. So far I think I am.Ron

I bought a 10 Gig (1810 model) back on 8/14. I got to put it through its paces while on vacation last week. After numerous "Disk Not Ready" errors while downloading from CF card to Mindstor, I got the images in. I loaded in about 1 Gig of images over 4 downloads. It took 6 tries on one DL and I HAD to use the AC adapter. It just would not DL without AC power. Yes, I had the Auto Shutdown disabled.Last night, I tried to download them from the Mindstor to my PC. After 3 hours of fustration I called Tech suuport (the Mindstor would shutdown or reboot while downloading every time which would lockup my PC - 10 times in all). I was put on hold for 20 min then told to leave a message. After a number of calls, I got through. The tech wasn't very helpful. He basically read the manual to me. Hey, I can read the manual too! After being transferred to the head of Tech support, he offered to repair it and send me my images on a CD...IN 2 WEEKS (film would be faster!). Excuse me, its brand new! It hasn't been dropped, bumped or bruised. (Though I did speak to it in VERY harsh tones!) My other choice was to send it back to D-store for a refund (less the usual charges). I hung up completely unsatisfied.So, I went back to try again. I uploaded the latest firmware and drivers...AGAIN. The firmware was no problem, but the link on their site for the PC drivers doesn't work. Once DL'ed the file won't run. So I reloaded the drivers that came with it...AGAIN. I finally got my images out without their help. Needless to say, this sucker is going back. Their product is questionable and their tech support stinks. Its time to look for another alternative. A pocket full of 256M CFs sounds good now!Just thought others might want to know...
#21. "RE: Mindstor Nightmare" | In response to Reply # 20
experience. I purchased it through D-store.com. After explaining the situation to them (unit and support, both defective), they offered me store credit (which I declined) or a refund (only after I declined the credit). They usually don't get defect return/refunds. Its usually an exchange for a new one. BTW, the refund is for merchandise only, not shipping, which I still had to pay for the return trip. Oh well.I will say that D-store.com was prompt with their delivery and easy to deal with in the return and refund. Would I buy from them again? Yes.Better luck next time...

I have purchased two IBM Microdrives (one-gig) from D-Store.com. They provided excellent service.The "bulk" packaging is simply a nice white box. There are no IBM advertisements on it, just plain white. It is the type of box you would get if you were a dealer instead of a buyer. It is referred to as a non-retail box.My IBM Microdrives didn't seem to care.

In a fit of recklessness, I bought a 512 MB CF card on Ebay, $211.00 + 7.00 shipping. It is made by the giant in memory manufacturing... RAM STAR. I've never heard of them, but it has performed flawlessly in my D100. I also bought a Mindstor 10gb at Fry's. I go back and forth to various countries in Africa. Laptops are considered a threat to national security in some countries, so the Mindstor is the safe alternative. It has worked on 110VAC 220VAC and on three continents. Both the CF card (the really cheap one) and the mindstor have been through all types of x-ray scanners from the latest at Heathrow and and Gatwick to the antique (designed by Madamme Curie herself!) ones in Zambia. They both have been up and down in bush aircraft in Zambia and both just went on a 5,000 mile trip across and back the US in a 1950's warbird (hot, cold, up and down and 30 hours of brutal vibration). So far, neither one has failed me. I supose I could shoot them up in space and see how they do, but I'm not up for it. My experience with electronics is: it works out of the box for the product expected life, or it dies within minutes of purchase. It is kind of like getting a car made on wednesday or one made on friday.Cheers,James

I've been tasked with building and monitoring a website for the company I work for. Their hope is for clients from around the world to be able to access it. The issue I'm having trouble with is creating an online form with 10 fields which clients can fill out. Then the form would generate an email to the client providing them with a password which they can use on the site to access documents to be downloaded.
The biggest problem of all is that this is my first time working with WordPress and I don't know code... however I'm a very quick learner. Are there any plugins or widgets available that can do what I need it to do?
Thanks very much!

Bangkok Restaurants
Jok Prince Restaurant
Best Porridge Shop in Bangkok0
Usually seeing all tables occupied and only a few people actually having a plate of food in front of them is not a good sign, it means that you will only be served when all those tables have been served before you, and in most restaurants the take away queue gets the food before the tables! But Jok Prince only serves few types of porridge: mince pork balls with or without offals, served with raw egg or century egg... and that's it. With this, they can manage extremely well a large amount of customers in no time.
Now you probably had plenty of good porridge before and wonder what can be so special about this one… and surprised you will be! Not only is the rice soup smooth and meat balls tasty, but the real secret ingredient is a faint but clearly perceptible smokey taste. It's that simple, just like the whole concept of porridge: a bowl of simple comfort food that tastes great and leaves you satisfied. Happiness for 45 baht… that's what Jok Prince is all about.
Jok Prince
- Opening Hours: 6 am to noon and 4 pm to late at night

As regular blog readers know, I meet a few times a year with Chinese college students visiting the United States in connection with a program called China Future Leaders. I typically as part of meeting with them take their temperature on some issue involving China, or China and the United States. This time I asked them the question: "What is one thing that makes you optimistic about the future of China for the next 15 years? What is one thing that makes you pessimistic?" I then allowed five students each to nominate something, and then the whole group -- about 60 or so -- were allowed to vote for one or two things each that made them most optimistic or most pessimistic.
For what made them most optimistic, the categories divided into those about the development of the Chinese economy ("economic growth" and "economic opportunities to bring new products and services to China") and those involving China's internationalization ("China's increasing status in the world" and "increasing numbers of Chinese going abroad and learning ideas from the world"). Also nominated was "good relationship between the United States and China."
A "good relationship between the United States and China" got only two votes. However, the other international categories beat out the economic categories but a narrow but decisive margin. The thing that made them most-optimistic about the future of China was the increasing number of Chinese getting international exposure. "For many years," one student said, "China cut itself off from the world. That's not true anymore." China's increasing international status came in second place in terms of numbers of votes.
What made them most-pessimistic? Nominations included pollution, unsafe food, violence by the government against the people, and bad relations with other countries in Asia
Here is very clear "loser" was pollution. For well over half the group (the largest number of votes any of the optimistic and pessimistic alternatives received) pollution was one of two things that made them pessimistic about China. In second place came poor relations with other Asian countries. (Poor relations with the United States was not nominated.)
Interestingly, one nomination for something making the studentspessimistic about the future of China was the Chinese education system -- the worry that it did little to encourage creativity. This choice was not among the things that worried the students the most, but it got a moderate number of votes. This is particularly noteworthy given breast-beating in the United States about the supposed superiority of Chinese schools.
During the question period, a girl studying to be a diplomat asked me a question about whether I agreed with the many Chinese people who, she said, believed that the Chinese government was far too weak and accommodating in its relationship with other countries, not standing up for China's interests enough. (She noted that a Chinese critic had mailed the foreign minister a nutritional supplement to eat so he could become stronger.)
I am suspecting that many American blog readers were surprised at her question, and are worried instead about Chinese foreign policy being too aggressive. I pointed out to her that U.S. observers, not to speak of China's Asian neighbors such as the Phillipines or Japan, hardly regard Chinese foreign policy in the region as weak. I used this as an opportunity to appeal to her as a diplomat, and to the Chinese students (I would have said the same to American students were I speaking to them) that it is a very common human trait to think our opponents are powerful and malevolent, while we ourselves are weak but virtuous. The different perspectives inside and outside China about the foreign policy stance of the Chinese government reflect that. (I bet if you asked Americans whether the U.S. government is too accommodating to China, many if not most would say yes, while Chinese would think the United States was too aggressive and hostile.)
Never too young, or too old, to learn about how people elsewhere look at things, and about putting yourself in the shoes of others.

Steve Kelman contends that a recent report on agencies' prize challenges tells only half the success story.
OMB's Data Center Optimization Initiative gives agencies new metrics and goals for fiscal 2018.
NSA and the CIA have revamped themselves in the past year. FCW asked officials how well Fort Meade and Langley are collaborating in cyberspace in pursuit of their separate missions.
The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Interestingly, the article mentions the problem of fostering creativity in China making a sad point. The answers of the students are so predictable that the article itself is proof of that lack of outside the box thinking that is stifling China's real development.
I think the young lady can fight her own battles. Can we stow the PC tsking?
Dr. Kelman, In regard to the "girl" studying to be a diplomat, since when does the Kennedy School admit children? I'm guessing that person was actually a woman, wasn't she?
Odd that the pessimism list didn't include demography -- the likelihood that the 'one-child policy' will result in China becoming old before rich.
If we could get more things listed for the second question, I would expect a different outcome. After my nomination of the international exposure to our rising generations, I was going to point out the sense of ethics for the pessimistic. People generally see their own benefit going up or down closely attached to the nation's economic growth, but it is sad that a lot of us "lack" the ability to identify what is virtually right or wrong. This may at least cover the two out of the five nominations, education and pollutions. In other words, slower development in ethics, in comparison to the optimistic economics, was a failure of our education; the deficiency of ethics in all aspects is one of the causes to nowadays severe pollutions in China.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Chapter 19 Summary
How It All Goes Down
The Silver Doe
- That night, Harry has disjointed dreams; Nagini, Voldemort's huge snake, slithers through all of them. He thinks he hears someone outside the tent, and gets up to join Hermione, who's on watch.
- The two of them agree to move somewhere else – Hermione also thinks she hears people moving around outside. They pack up and Disapparate to the Forest of Dean, a secluded place where Hermione went camping once with her family.
- After an uneventful day, Harry takes the night watch. He feels strangely alert and oddly different. Suddenly, he sees a glowing silver light in the darkness – it's moving towards him. What is it?
- The source of the light is a brilliant, beautiful silver doe. She and Harry regard each other intently, then she walks away slowly. Harry, certain that she means for him to do, follows.
- Suddenly, the doe vanishes, leaving Harry in darkness. He lights up his wand, and finds himself in front of a frozen pool – and at the bottom pool, a familiar object: the ruby-hilted sword of Godric Gryffindor!
- Harry tries to just summon the sword, but it won't come. He realizes that he has to prove his worth as a Gryffindor by diving into the frozen pond and pulling it out himself – eek!
- Despite the biting cold, Harry strips down, then magically cracks the ice on the top of the pond. He jumps into the freezing cold water and successfully (though painfully) dives down and gets the sword.
- As he's about to leap out of the frigid water, though, the Horcrux locket tightens its chain around his neck, trying to drown him. Harry's lost in a chaos of flailing limbs, desperately trying to get out – and then, out of nowhere, someone else pulls him out and safely delivers him to solid ground.
- The Horcrux is removed, but Harry can't see who removed it for a moment. When he can, he's shocked – it's Ron!
- Ron is horrified by Harry's utter stupidity in failing to remove the Horcrux before he dived… to be honest, we're a little surprised, too. Not exactly his finest moment. Moving on.
- Harry gets dressed, still overwhelmed by shock. He thinks for a moment that Ron cast the silver doe Patronus, but he didn't… so who did?
- Ron is back to stay, if Harry and Hermione still want him. Yay!
- Harry and Ron can't figure out who cast the doe and put the sword in the pond, but they decide to figure out if it's the real sword of Gryffindor by seeing if it can destroy the Horcrux. Harry asks Ron to do the honors, since he's the one who ultimately pulled the sword out of the pool.
- He has a gut feeling that Ron's meant to do it.
- Ron doesn't want to, though, so Harry firmly tells him he has to. Harry opens the locket using Parseltongue, and Ron prepares to stab it.
- The locket opens, revealing two dark, handsome eyes – the eyes of Tom Riddle. It starts to speak, not to both of them, but just to Ron. It knows all of his doubts and fears (that his family doesn't love him, that Hermione doesn't love him), and it exploits them; it even produces a horrifying image of Harry and Hermione taunting Ron, kissing.
- Finally, Ron stabs the locket – it screams and shatters. The Horcrux is definitely done for.
(Click the infographic to download.)
- Before they go back to the tent, Harry takes a minute to reassure Ron that there's never been anything between him and Hermione, and that they're like brother and sister – definitely no kissing. This seems to help.
- Ron apologizes for leaving, and the two of them hug and make up.
- Back at the tent, Hermione freaks out when she sees Ron. Ron optimistically raises his arms for a hug, but she attacks him with her fists instead. Harry quickly casts a shield spell to keep them apart.
- Hermione has a spazz attack about Ron's disappearance and his cavalier reappearance. It's pretty obvious that she was extremely, extremely upset by his absence (which probably means that Ron's fears of being unloved are quite unnecessary).
- Ron explains that he tried to come back right away, but was detained by a gang of Snatchers (some petty criminals who try to earn money by rounding up Muggle-borns and turning them in to the Ministry). Ron got away from them, and managed to steal one of their wands before he left.
- However, when he Apparated back to the last campsite he'd left Harry and Hermione at, they were gone. He went home, and discovered that the Deluminator did more than just extinguish lights – it actually guided him to Harry and Hermione.
- After a near-miss (the day that Harry and Hermione thought they heard someone outside the tent, they did), Ron arrived in the Forest of Dean and saw Harry pursuing the doe, so he followed.
- Here Harry concludes the story, telling Hermione that Ron saved him and destroyed the Horcrux.
- Ron gives the Snatcher's wand to Harry, and the three of them settle down for the evening, together again at last.

Yodel UK Depot- 23 South Gyle Cresent, Edinburgh EH12 9EQ. Telephone: 08442480520.
Yodel was formed in 2010, bringing together Home Delivery Network Limited and DHL Express to form one unique brand.

Retailers, Mothercare and Matalan, have stopped using Yodel in recent weeks.

I am working with WP's default layout and have created a left-hand column to hold some of my menu items.
My left-hand column insists on remaining below the content - what looks like 100px below the end of the content block (also below the "credit" block & body borders, but that appears to be coincidental), which is what I set for the column "margin-top", even though it's position is set for absolute.
I made the content div position relative (which contains everything but "header", "credit", and "menu" [the original right-hand menu]). I even made the "header" and "credit" positions relative (only after the first try didn't work). I even went so far as to make the "body" "position: absolute" in an attempt to make that menu move up to where it's supposed to be.
I have also set content width to auto, but still no go.
The order in my html is header, content, left menu, right menu, then credit - which is the way I would like to keep them.
I've worked with 3 columns before (in same order as above), but just can't see why this isn't working.
It would be great to get some help for this. :)
As for a link to my site, I would prefer not to "advertise it", so if you have suggestions of things for me to check, I would appreciate it. But if someone is quite certain they could definitely find the problem by looking at my site and css, please let me know and we can work something out privately.
Thank you very much!

With almost 7 million short shares and considering Quicksilver trades on avg 1 million shares per day, I'ld say there is a reasonable chance for a short squeeze in the morning. Especially since it already up 10% in AH.
Good call my friend! I sold my position today, as I think the squeeze can not last forever.

By Mr Kevin Stabinsky (IMCOM)August 2, 2011
Summer grilling season might still be "cooking," but for patrons at the Fort McPherson Strike Zone bowling center, the grill has cooled off. The Strike Zone's grill operations officially ended July 29, leaving loyal patrons looking for a new lunch destination come Aug. 1.
Jeff Butler, chief of the investigative division, U.S. Army Garrison Directorate of Emergency Services, said the Strike Zone was a convenient place to grab lunch due to its proximity to work, the friendliness of the staff and the good food, adding his favorite was the Cajun cheese steak sandwich. "I'll have to travel off the installation for lunch now if I don't bring it," he said on how the closure would affect him.
For Fitzgerald Price, a retired Army sergeant major and Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, the closure meant the loss of something more: a quiet place to relax and interact with the military community he was a part of for so long. Price, who retired from Third Army/U.S. Army Central, said he would come to the Strike Zone three or four times a week to eat lunch and read.
Even on its busiest days, he said the place was generally quiet, describing it as an oasis away from the bustle of Atlanta where he now works. The visits would also let him drink up the memories of his prior military life and see the effects of BRAC on the installation. "I have a connection here. Sometimes I get to see folks I know still in uniform around," he said. "You can't get that connection in the outside community."
Patrons weren't the only ones affected by the closure. The remaining five staff members will also be looking for jobs following their final day of work Aug. 5. Besides the loss of jobs, some staff members, like Cynthia Jackson, Strike Zone assistant business manager, said the loss will be the end of special place in her heart.
"I've been bowling here since the 70's. This has always been my spot to bowl," she said. A once retired government Civilian employee, Jackson came back to help close out the facility that was such a big influence on her younger years. Though saddened by the loss and having to see it up close, Jackson nevertheless said the return to the center was worth it. "Overall it's been good," she said, crediting the staff with helping her through the process of managing the center in its final days.
Though sad, Jackson said her memories and the people she worked with added some to sweetness to what would otherwise be a bitter day.

Just as the others have stated in their reports, I have not received my magazine, which I ordered in May and it is now nearly November, my check cleared a long time ago, and no one answers the phone at 940-565-1000 and there are no "clickable" links on their website for customer service.
Next time, do me a favor, Jeremy. Just say, "Hey, I need some money. Can I have $42?" It would be a lot easier on everyone. You could skip the speech and I could maybe get my kid to take a nap.
Now I get the fun job of placing a fraud alert on my bank account, changing all of my account information and continue to wonder how to get my child to actually take a nap without a temper tantrum.
I wonder if the magazines they have in their brochures could get them on copyright infringement? I'd gladly pay the $42 to see that those SOBs get what's coming to them.

Sorry I just realized I posted my question in a "resolved thread", please forgive the duplication.
Can you please further explain how to add the shortcode to the template when additional attributes are needed to show specific reviews, e.g. based on category?
So in your example from the other thread:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[RICH_REVIEWS_SHOW]'); ?>
I need to change the category attribute based on a custom field for the page that matches the category, like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[RICH_REVIEWS_SHOW category="<?php echo $category(); ?>"]'); ?>
Obviously what I have doesn't work.....need a little help here. :-)

Junior Minister (Northern Ireland)
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland in the EU
The term Junior Minister, in Northern Ireland, is the name given to two positions in the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister (OFMDFM).
The incumbent junior ministers are Alastair Ross (Democratic Unionist Party) and Megan Fearon (Sinn Féin).[1]
Under the Northern Ireland Act 1998,[2] the First Minister and deputy First Minister acting jointly may determine that a number of members of the Northern Ireland Assembly shall be appointed as junior ministers.
The salary of each junior minister in 2007–2008 (when devolution was restored) was £60,067.42,[3] which increased to the current level of £62,709.96 in 2008–2009.[4][5][6]
The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) called for the immediate abolition of the junior minister positions in its 2011 Northern Ireland Assembly election manifesto.[7]

Assembly Private Secretary[edit]
Following the 2011 Northern Ireland Assembly election, First Minister Peter Robinson and deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness announced the creation of the new post of Assembly Private Secretary, available to all ministers in the Northern Ireland Executive.
The position is similar to that of a parliamentary private secretary in the House of Commons, providing political support to the Minister within the department. It is non-salaried and held by a backbencher from the same party as the Minister. While not ministerial, and therefore below the rank of Junior Minister, it provides experience to members considered as potential future ministers. It is not compulsory to appoint an Assembly Private Secretary; indeed the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland has not made appointments.
As of May 2011, OFMDFM officials were drawing up a code of conduct and enabling processes to facilitate the creation of the posts.[10] None had been published by October 2011, meaning that the posts had not been created by the Northern Ireland Assembly up to that point. However, they were declared as public offices in the register of members' interests on 29 June 2011 and 7 October 2011.[11][12]
The prospective Assembly Private Secretaries are:
Democratic Unionist Party [13]
- Paul Girvan MLA (OFMDFM)
- Alastair Ross MLA (Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment)
- Simon Hamilton MLA (Department of Finance and Personnel)
- Alex Easton MLA (Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety)
- William Humphrey MLA (Department for Social Development)
Sinn Féin[14]
- Pat Doherty MP MLA (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development)
- Barry McElduff MLA (Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure)
- Mitchel McLaughlin MLA (Department of Education)
Sinn Féin has adopted the term Parliamentary Under Secretary to describe the position.
Ulster Unionist Party[15]
Social Democratic and Labour Party[16]

Hi, I just downloaded the MLA plugin a few days ago and I am really enjoying it, as it's making it much easier for me to organize the photos on my site. I am mainly using it to help in searching my photos and to edit them more quickly.
I love being able to use the Quick Edit function to edit the title, categories and alt text for an image, but I also need to be able to edit the "description" field for each image, and this field isn't included in the Quick Edit dropdown. Is it possible for me to add this field to Quick Edit by adding a custom field, or in some other way? I'm new to this plugin and don't yet quite understand the custom fields thing yet, so I'm unsure if it's even possible to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Best Fiction for 5-12's and the Overall Winner
Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
My mother is still alive, and she is going to come for me one day.
Everyone thinks that Sophie is an orphan. True, there were no other recorded female survivors from the shipwreck which left baby Sophie floating in the English Channel in a cello case, but Sophie remembers seeing her mother wave for help. Her guardian tells her it is almost impossible that her mother is still alive, but that means still possible. You should never ignore a possible.
So when the Welfare Agency writes to her guardian threatening to send Sophie to an orphanage, she takes matters into her own hands and flees to Paris to look for her mother, starting with the only clue she has – the address of the cello maker.
Evading the French authorities, she meets Matteo and his network of rooftoppers – urchins who live in the sky. Together they scour the city for Sophie's mother before she is caught and sent back to London and most importantly before she loses hope.
Best Picture Book Winner
Open Very Carefully written by Nick Bromley and Illustrated by Nicola O'Byrne
What would you do if you were settling down for a quiet bedtime story and you realised that a crocodile had fallen into your storybook and was – not to put too fine a point on it – furious? Would you slam that book shut, cram it in the bookshelf for evermore or would you be brave enough to peek?
Best Book for Teens
Geek Girl by Holly Smale
"My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek."
Harriet Manners knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, a "jiffy" lasts 1/100th of a second, and the average person laughs 15 times per day. She knows that bats always turn left when exiting a cave and that peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.
But she doesn't know why nobody at school seems to like her.
So when Harriet is spotted by a top model agent, she grabs the chance to reinvent herself. Even if it means stealing her best friend's dream, incurring the wrath of her arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of impossibly handsome model Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves.
Veering from one couture disaster to the next with the help of her overly enthusiastic father and her uber-geeky stalker, Toby, Harriet begins to realise that the world of fashion doesn't seem to like her any more than the real world did.
As her old life starts to fall apart, will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything?
Congratulations to the winners and to all the other books that made the shortlists!

Read in May, 2011
An action packed full on sci-fi novel which takes place on Mars after it has been colonized by humans. Durango is the chief of a group of misfit Regulators who have been hired to help a town of miners fight off cannibalistic creatures who especially like children. Full of fight scenes, back stabbing and suspense, Black Hole Sun is great for the lover of sci fi or action books. I do have some more questions, so I hope they are answered in the sequels :)

"Basaic Helena Page" Helena by Basaic
Helena Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 22 photos
Helena and West Helena used to be separate cities but were merged in 2006. West Helena is the more modernized part with most of the fast food, motels etc., and Helena has most of the old part of town. The Phillips County Court House is also in the Helena part of town. The twon has a combined population of over 15,000.
Helena has several very nice examples of old-style mansions. This one is the Pillow-Thompson House which is owned and operated by the Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas. It was built in 1896 using the Queen Anne style of architecture.
Another interesting building in Helena is the Centennial Baptist Church. Is is the only known Arkansas example of an African-American church designed by an African-American architect, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church was built in 1905 using the Gothic Revival style of architecture by African-American architect Henry James Price.

At the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 27, WWE has the chance to rebuild the fading credibility of the World Heavyweight Championship by giving it to John Cena.
Such a move makes total and absolute sense.
First of all, Hell in a Cell is Cena's big return after two months on the shelf due to a torn triceps. The show is being specifically built around him.
So, he strongly needs a resounding victory—and title win—over Alberto Del Rio to make sure his heavily hyped comeback starts with a bang.
But the main reason for a Cena World Heavyweight Championship reign is that it would rocket the struggling title back to prominence.
Alas, the last two years haven't been kind to the belt. Which is putting it mildly.
Oh, it was never truly equal to the WWE title, but at least in 2008 and 2009 it had some prestige and importance, and you had highly regarded wrestlers like Dave Batista, Edge and The Undertaker fighting for it.
Fast forward to 2013 though, and, under the care of dull midcarder Del Rio, the title has become almost laughably marginalized.
No one in WWE seems to take the belt seriously anymore.
Del Rio's segments are treated as unimportant and throwaways on Raw and SmackDown; his feuds are barely hyped. Did anyone really care that he took on Rob Van Dam at Battleground? Of course not. The bout came off as an opening match at best.
So how horrible is Del Rio's current World Heavyweight Championship reign?
The guy has even lost clean to non-wrestler Ricardo Rodriguez a few weeks ago on Raw (OK, he got his revenge and beat him up afterward, but still, this was unacceptable.)
At this point the belt is little more than a glorified Intercontinental Championship.
But this could all change at Hell in a Cell if Cena wins.
As the company's biggest full-time star, Cena may be the only one on the roster who can return the belt to its former glory. That's how much star power he really has right now.
He has the title, therefore the title becomes a bigger deal. It's truly that simple.
Even a short reign with it—a couple of months or so—will still help re-establish its validity and make up for the colossal damage Del Rio has done.
Who should win at Hell in a Cell?
OK, so some could point out that Cena is returning from serious surgery—it doesn't help that he's coming back absurdly early—and putting the championship on him right now would be a mistake.
It's too much pressure. He shouldn't rush back to working a full schedule. What if he wins at Hell in a Cell, gets hurt again and leaves the title in, to borrow that dreadful Triple H word, abeyance?
There are decent arguments, sure. But WWE shouldn't let what "might" happen get in the way of their once chance to rebuild the World Heavyweight Championship.
At Hell in a Cell, WWE has the opportunity to undo a lot of damage and revive the faltering title. It would be such a pity if they screwed it up and went with some lame DQ ending and had Del Rio retain.
That's the last thing the title needs.

Long-distance swimmer Jim Dreyer has started another quest.
He plans to spend the next few days swimming continuously in northeastern Kent County's Scram Lake.
Dreyer is trying to set a new distance record for a continuous swim by going more than 122 miles. He expects to take three or four days doing it.
He entered the water shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and had gone six miles by 1:50 p.m.
The 43-year-old Byron Center athlete tried but failed to break the record late last month during a two-day swim in the Straits of Mackinac.
He became so sick battling the strong currents that he left the water after 40 miles and had to be hospitalized.
