since the last update a shortcode stopped working, i use it to manually display the list of files attached to a post in my sidebar template (since there is no widget to do that).
I was using:
do_shortcode('[wpfilebase file_post_id='.get_the_ID().' post_id='.get_the_ID().']');
And it worked just fine.
I tried to be more specific since the update (and more syntaxically correct) by using:
do_shortcode('[wpfilebase tag=list file_post_id='.get_the_ID().' post_id='.get_the_ID().' /]');
but it didn't resolve the isue.
Did the shortcode change?
I can't seem to find any documentation on that point.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Flyers Ripe For Trade
by Paul on 10/30/06 at 12:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
Veteran defenseman Derian Hatcher is minus-14, while defenseman Joni Pitkanen is minus-8. Winger Kyle Calder, acquired from the Hawks in exchange for Michal Handzus, has no points in 10 games and is minus-7 with 5 minor penalties. New GM Paul Holmgren is said to be looking to make a blockbuster trade to shake things up, with winger Simon Gagne's name being floated as possible bait. It's believed the Hawks have offered the Flyers defenseman Jassen Cullimore, who according to a report in the Ottawa Sun also has been shopped to the Boston Bruins.

I normally just read everyone's thoughts, because if we dare to post an opinion, typically the reaction from the zoners is reactive and void of any deep thought. But I keep reading this crap about the team, and felt compelled to share...
We have moved from the freakin' laughing stock of the NFL, to a legitimate conteding football team. These past years have been F'n awful. So many broken remotes, couches ... chasing the kids around the house threatening to Patrick Willis them both lol
Sometimes the dichotomy that is 9r fan is funny to follow. One week we cheer, then he next week we are pist. Perhaps the "glory" years spoiled us, but what is up with all the haters? Have you forgotten the past 6 years? The F'n blowouts!? NOT saying a word at work? Keeping your mouth shut at a bar because our team is just awful - Pathetic football...but now, now we look good and WILL be better next season.
We are a couple of points away from the next level this year...
The coaching staff is new, learning and impressing me. Although some of you may think they are neophytes, the truth is, they were able, on a dime, to change the entire offense. This is amazing, to go from a RUN first, to throw? They managed d this change in a week! Our offense rank is 29! How great is that? 29 and this close to the playoffs? (I know, playoffs? lmao) As our offense grows, and we rise up the ranks, the possibilities are exciting.
Smith was MUCH improved - I watch the games and see that additional improvement is needed too. I feel confident he will work hard, study and continue grow.
Gore looks awesome, of course
VD has come into his own - he looks awesome. Couple of drops, but take the bad for the good. Wish he would have caught the missed TD against Seattle … uh
Crabtree is amazing - can't wait to see him next season
Morgan is a pimp - really coming into his own. Very athletic
Need a RT, for sure; maybe a guard too
Need a solid returner
The Defense looks sharp with only a few needs to be complete.
GM did a great job acquiring another first round pick - Brilliant!
Sing and his staff have been strong, humble and willing ... these are sure signs of leadership. Leadership has been lost for sometime in the city by the bay...
I am excited about the possibility of 8-8 this year. I am always a 9r fan, and now, now I can say we are at least .500 ... it is compilation of little victories that creates champions.
Here is to a healthy and happy 49er 2010 to all of you!

by Santiago B. Tejada
(Margate, Florida, USA)
According to our sensei, a particular style of kendo could be traced to its origin depending on the way how the bogu is set on the dojo floor and the initial rei after the bogu is put on.
Many dojos set kote on the floor in the left-to-right direction and then the men is placed on top with its center line in the front-to-back direction, with tenugui on top.
Both (kote and men) plus do and tare are then placed on the front-right position with kendoka seating behind, slightly to the left and leaving clear space in front to do rei from that location. (Tare is placed outside of do facing forward until kendoka puts it on.)
In my Kendo club we set kote on the floor in the front-to-back direction with men seating face down on the floor between both kote, with center line in the front-to-back direction as well and tenugui over them. Do is then placed behind both, with tare inside until it is put on.
Kendoka seats directly behind bogu and stands up to move (around, to the right side) and seats in front of bogu to do rei. Is the manner how we do it familiar to you or any reader of Kendo-Guide?
Answer: This is very interesting topic. Thak you! I hope many can contribute to this post.
I am sure that we probably still can trace "ryuha (school)" of your kendo by etiquette and manners your dojo follow. However, since the International Kendo Federation (FIK) integrated these manners for introducing kendo to the world, I think it is much harder now.
The way I learned to place my kote and men is your way, I think. I place men on top of kote in the front to back direction slightly on the left side of my left knee. However, I think FIK decided to place kote and men in front of the right knee with kote in the left-to-right direction.
With the kote and men and bogu in front of them, it is easy for us to get up from the right knee. Tare is wrapped around do with showing our name.
Post your way of placing your bogu at your dojo here!

They debited ny checking account one day early for a payment made by phone to "avoid anylate fees" this ended up costing me right at $500 in overdrage and NSF fees for the checks I had mailed prior to finding out they had done this.
My original credit limit was $300 I think and they managed to run my account up to $1200 in fees. I tis still currently reported on my credit report. I paid them more than what I had charged on the card in the first two months that this all started with their error.
The $1200 they claim that I owe them are all their additional fees resulting from their mistakes. They harrassed me non stop at my job and my home for the first two years until I told them I had consulted an attorney and would file a law suit if I needed to.
I files written disputes 3 times and never received any type of acknowledgement or reply from them. I have been contacted by 4 different collections and attorneys, each time I have sent them all the letters of dispute and they do not contact me again, until the next idiot.
My current husband received a card from them with their new name this is how I finally figured out what they had done. He is a truck driver and intended to use the card when he was on the road.
Just this past months he paid his card in full $750 with the money that would have been his "road money" onley to find out that they would not release the funds for 12 days after receiving payment directly out of our checking account.
He was stuck out of town with no money to eat, for a hotel or anything. Upon contacting them with the particulars they refused to free up even a miminal amount for him to eat even though they were able to verify the funds had cleared.

AbstractA range of brominated indole derivatives were found in the egg masses of six species of muricid molluscs. Several non-brominated indoles were also present in the eggs of two Mediterranean Muricidae, although these were not found in the Australian species. Tyrindoleninone (3), was the only compound found in all six species and is likely to be responsible for the observed antimicrobial activity of these muricid egg masses [1,2]. These bioactive indoles appear to be characteristic of muricid egg masses and were not found in the egg masses from 17 species in different families of marine molluscs.

Editorial Reviews
"In this short biography, Davis presents presbyterian Church in America pastor D. James Kennedy as man of conviction, determined to overcome adversity and to excel. With warmth and humour, she successfully blends the highlights of his personal life and ministry.
It is an unassailable fact that Dr. D. James Kennedy through the ministry of Evangelism Explosion has done as much or more than any individual in the last 40 to 50 years to, not only promote evangelism but, provide an avenue to train every day Christians to participate in the joy of leading men and women to Christ.
More than anybody I know, Dr. D. James Kennedy epitomizes evangelism and the sovereignty of God in his ministry. His influence on me has been profound. This well-written biography provides a history, wonderful anecdotes and insights into one of America's most powerful Christian leaders of our generation.

Carlisle have been rocked by the news that striker Lee Miller could miss up to a month of action.
The 28-year-old has had tests and scans on an ankle injury he sustained in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Stevenage.
Miller has now been advised to rest for the next few weeks and may even require surgery on the problem should a surgeon decide it is necessary.
It comes as a huge blow to the Cumbrians, who saw their form noticeably dip when Miller was absent from the final stages of last season due to a groin problem.

Rev John Thomas Steinbock
Jul. 16, 1937
Dec. 5, 2010
The Fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Fresno, California, Monsignor John T. Steinbock was born on July 16, 1937, in Los Angeles, the youngest of three sons. His father, Leo Steinbock, owned a dental supply business and frequently bet on horse races and played cards with young John Steinbock at his side.
"I learned to read reading a racing form," Bishop Steinbock said in a 2002 interview with The Bee. "I learned to count playing blackjack."
As a kid, he played sports, got into some fights, and was shy but came out of his shell when he had to. His parents had to pressure him to attend Mass because he thought the service boring.
He was one of three boys in the family -- and all became Priests. (One later left the Priesthood.)
He said his brothers' decisions to wear the Roman collar pointed him toward the Priesthood. He attended a rigorous college-prep high school designed for young men considering the Priesthood, and graduated in 1955, before enrolling in a Seminary College.
He sometimes wondered whether God really wanted him to become a Priest, Bishop Steinbock said in the 2002 interview.
In the summer of 1958, while learning Spanish at a boardinghouse in Mexico City, he shared space with young men who frequented bars. Watching them, he decided he would rather become a Priest.
"What was important to them ... would've been material things in life," he said. "I just felt like, 'Hey, what does the world need most of all? The Lord Jesus and his love and his truth.' "
In 1963, fresh out of St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, he was assigned to Resurrection Parish in Los Angeles, in the Hispanic barrio. He was ordained on May 1, by Cardinal James McIntyre.
There he began to develop his reputation as an Administrator, a skill his Superiors valued and one that commended him to promotion in the hierarchy.
Initially, East L.A. was a culture shock for someone from a middle-class background. He spent late nights around the kitchen tables of his parishioners, where they would drink coffee, smoke cigarettes and talk into the early morning.
In 1973, Bishop Steinbock was transferred to St. Vibiana's Catholic Cathedral near Skid Row. Each night, 2,000 men and women slept on the surrounding streets and alleys.
In 1983, near the end of his time in downtown Los Angeles, he wrote a poem about the despair he had encountered on Skid Row. Two evocative lines read: "Hopeless persons seeking the cold damp warmth for a place to sleep. Senseless persons searching for meaningless pleasure."
He said he would have been content to stay a Priest, but the late Cardinal Timothy Manning had other ideas, engineering his rise in the church. In 1984, Manning told him that the Pope had named him an Auxiliary.
He didn't want to accept it. But he said Manning told him the Pope was simply acting in accordance with God's will for Bishop Steinbock's life.
At 47 years of age, Steinbock received his Episcopal Consecration with the Titular See of Midila, from Cardinal Manning, assisted by Bishops William Robert Johnson and Manuel Duran Moreno.
His first assignment as Bishop was in Orange County, serving mainly as Vicar General and Diocesan Administrator, from 1984 until January 27, 1987, when he was named Bishop of the Diocese of Santa Rosa in California, succeeding Msgr. Mark Joseph Hurley, who had resigned his Office the previous April, following his appointments to Vatican Congregation of Education and the Secretariat for Non-Believers.
On October 15, 1991, Steinbock was appointed the Fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Fresno, succeeding Msgr. José de Jesús Madera Uribe M.Sp.S., who was transferred to the Military Ordinariate of the United States of America.
Monsignor Steinbock led the Diocese of Fresno through nearly two decades of growth and controversy. He died at 3.10 am., surrounded by family, his pastor and friends at Saint Agnes Medical Center, on Sunday, December 5, 2010, aged 73.
Bishop Steinbock announced in August of that years, that he had lung cancer. He was admitted to Saint Agnes in early November after complaining of shortness of breath and lack of energy. Tests revealed he had a blood clot in his right lung and others in his legs. In 2009, he was treated for facial cancer.
Bishop Steinbock's death came on the same day as downtown Fresno's annual Our Lady of Guadalupe Procession and Mass, over which he usually presided.
Viewing and Rosary were held at St. John's Cathedral, 2814 Mariposa St. in downtown Fresno, while Funeral Services were celebrated at St. Anthony of Padua, 5770 N. Maroa Ave., Fresno. Internment followed at St. Peter's Cemetery, 264 N. Blythe Ave.

Looking to get into MSFT.. What do you all think is a good entry price, given the current market situation and Microsofts situation with Yahoo? Also, I would be interested in peoples analysis on potential future threats from open source software?Thanks
Depends on what your exit strategy is for the trade. if your holding into 2009 you should be buying now and on any weakness - stock is completely oversold because the "pro's" are waiting to see what happens this week with Yahoo and the shorts are in control because of the earnings miss - that was also oversold by the media.
enter it now you should be buying as much as possible you will make money on the long run in this stock i have it at 32 and i am not scared!
You are so lucky as you will get quarterly dividents soon.
How much is the dividend? I just bought some MSFT. Would I be eligible?

Walcott news gives Wenger Euro boost
Published 24/03/2009
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expects to have Theo Walcott back from his knee injury for the club's Champions League challenge.
Walcott was sidelined last week when his right knee locked as he left the training pitch, but scans revealed the problem was not as serious as first feared.
Wenger predicted at the weekend that the 20-year-old would be back in "10 or 12 days".
That would him in the frame for the Premier League clash against Manchester City on April 4, or the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal three days later.
"The scan was reassuring," Wenger said.
"We were a bit worried about cartilage or even the cruciate but there was none of that."
