No replies to support questions. Plugin doesn't behave as per the documentation (size=n, for example). I've ended up rewriting much of the code, but I'd suggest that people are best off searching for an alternative.
Shame, because it could be a very handy bit of functionality.

I purchased a Standard themes package from Woo and was charged $125. However, I cannot access themes on Woo's site, nor have I received any message from Woo confirming my purchase or for any other reason.
Payment glitches happen - I can understand that. But after sending Woo SEVEN messages in the five days after my purchase, I have received NO response. Not an automated message, nothing. Know that you cannot gain access to Woo's Help forums or paid staff until Woo recognizes your purchase. Woo also offers no phone contacts. So in my case, I am limited to sending pre-sale messages, which are going unanswered.
Too big, too fast, I suppose. The support is a huge issue for me, so I will no longer purchasing any Woo products. I sincerely hope that they at least refund my payment.

The sales staff at HHGregg could not have been more helpful. We purchased the television, a wall mount for it, and a very expensive HDMI cable to plug into our cable box. We also purchased a 5-year extended service contract at a cost of $450.
July 20, 2008: Lightning struck the ground outside of our home, traveled through our phone line and cable system (which had never been properly grounded by the way), and into our television. We literally saw sparks and smoke shoot out the back of our television! The digital cable box was destroyed, pictures got knocked off of the wall, our phones died, and our internet router burned up. According to experts that I have talked to, short of unplugging every cable phone line, etc., nothing could have protected us from this happening, not even an expensive surge protector.
July 21, 2008: I called my insurance company, Allstate, and filed a homeowners insurance claim. My wife suggested that I call the warranty company just to see if it was covered by our extended service plan, so I called the warranty company and was assured that the warranty covered lightning strikes (which is the reason we purchased the extended service contract in the first place), and they scheduled Blue Chip Electronic Service in Cincinnati to come and look at the set. They arrived Wednesday, July 23rd as promised, and removed the set from the wall mount and took it to their shop, stating that it would take 10 days or so to get the parts on order and promising to contact us when they knew a date when we would get it back.
August 1, 2008: It has been over a month since we have seen our television. I have been in contact with Blue Chip Electronics a half-dozen times, and have contacted the extended warranty company two or three times. Blue Chip Electronics hadn't even looked at our set when I contacted them. That evening, I called the warranty company to tell them that I found this to be unacceptable, and they assured me that they would contact Blue Chip and have them call me on Monday, August 4th. No one ever called me.
August 8, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics. They stated that they had ordered a part on August 5th and were waiting for it to come in.
August 12, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics, again. No part yet.
August 15, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics, again. No part yet.
August 19, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics, again. No part yet.
August 25th, 2008: We spoke with Blue Chip Electronics again, and the answer was that they had no idea when the part would come in and if JVC couldn't get the part they would have to do a search for it and had no idea when we might get our television back! I called the warranty company, again, and was told that they would be contacting Blue Chip Electronics directly and would call us back on the 26th of August.
September 3, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics. Still waiting on part. Called warranty company and was told that authorization to order part was issued on August 26 or 27 (not August 5th like originally told). Warranty company put me on hold while they talked to Blue Chip Electronics. When they came back, they said part had just arrived, would be installed and tested and I would receive call when ready.
September 9, 2008: Called Blue Chip Electronics again. Was told that one of two parts had arrivedfirst I heard of two parts being ordered. Was told that maybe information was not up to date. She would speak with technician and call me back. Never received a call back. Called HHGregg and spoke to salesman who sold us the TV. He connected me with the operations manager for Florence store. She agreed with me that our wait time was ridicules and promised to get a hold of HHGregg corporate customer care. She also stated that policy is that if a repair goes beyond 60 days, the warranty company must authorize a new replacement television.
As usual, we haven't heard a thing from anyone.
September 15, 2008: Called Blue Chip again. No part yet. Was told that part was on order, in stock, and would arrive in 3-5 business days. No word from HHGregg. No TV.
September 18, 2008: Called Blue Chip again. Was told that they were without power for a couple of days but had power now. Supposedly, our repair had top priority, but still waiting on parts. Was told they would check on part status and call me back. Never heard a word. Had to call back myself at 5:30 pm. Was told they would check and would receive a call back first thing in the morning.
September 19, 2008: Received a call from Blue Chip (amazing). Was told that they had not received the part, there were none in stock, and it was back ordered. Don't know when they will receive the part. What happened to the part being on stock and available in 3-5 business days?
September 19, 2008: All I can say is WOW!!! After talking to HHGregg, again, and the warranty company, again, I have now been told that my television is in fact not covered by the extended service plan and besides, it never would have been covered due to a lightning strike being an act of God. They also gave me a wholehearted sorry for the inconvenience. So why, in all of my communications with GE Consumer and Industrial Warranty Management (the warranty company), and all of my conversations with HHGregg, am I just now being told that it is not covered by the extended warranty plan?!? This has now turned into much more than an inconvenienceit is a full fledged major fiasco.
So here we are, over nearly TWO MONTHS later, with half a wall mount bolted to our wall, cable wires dangling all over the place, and no HDTV. . I cannot believe that I paid so much for a nice TV, including extra money for the extended warranty/service contract, and we get the run-around. The telephone company and cable companies responded very quickly and got everything fixed that was damaged due to the lightning strike, including correcting the ungrounded cable problem. The really sad part is that I am not sure if this television will ever be the same as far as the picture quality. I was assured by the serviceman who picked it up that it would be, but now I'm not convinced. And if it is not, I'll have to go back to the warranty company and go through this whole process again.
The bottom line is that I want my television. We feel lied to, cheated, and deceived. I believe we should get a new replacement. I believe that we've had to wait long enough. I believe that we have been completely patient and have been given a run around. I believe
If in fact the lightning strike is not covered under extended warranty, I wouldn't have a problem with it had we been told this FROM THE BEGINNING! I would have continued with the homeowners insurance claim and probably would have had my television back by now because we would not have had to deal with Blue Chip Electronics. But in the dozens of phone calls I have made to the HHGregg (GE) warranty company, and the many times I have stated that it was a lightning related issue, I am just now being told that it is not covered. I now have to file another claim with my insurance company which will take who knows how long to get processed.
I have already filed complaints with the BBB of Indiana (HHGregg) and the BBB of Louisville, KY (GE Consumer and Industrial Warranty Management). I have sent the story off to Howard Ain, a local television troubleshooter reporter in hopes that this will get on the air and he might help.
I am supposed to contact HHGregg again this afternoon to see if they can "do" anything for me but I doubt it. I know this much; I will never buy another thing from HHGregg.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- A man is in custody after allegedly stabbing another man during an argument in North Augusta early Friday morning.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office received the call at 12:51 a.m.
The victim says he and 29-year-old Jonathan Robert Jones were having an argument that turned physical on the 300 block of Second Avenue.
According to the incident report, the victim says Jones swung a razor blade-type knife at him, which cut his left forearm when he tried to block the blade. He claims Jones swung it at him a second time, which hit him in the side as he tried to move away.
Deputies eventually found Jones hiding in an abandoned home nearby after getting tips from witnesses.
Jones was taken to the Aiken County Detention Center and is expected to be charged with attempted murder.
The victim's injuries are not said to be life threatening.

Economists React: 'Miserly Action'
Economists and others weigh in on the the Fed's decision to cut the federal funds rate and discount rate by a quarter percentage point each.
The FOMC today launched what has to be the biggest flop since Ishtar… The FOMC implemented a much too small [quarter percentage] point cut in the discount rate. The FOMC then topped this off with a post-meeting statement that seems oddly out of touch… Banks are unwilling to lend to each other, and instead are hoarding cash as protection against what could be further large write-downs in capital. If they're not willing to lend to each other, then these banks surely aren't going to be willing to lend to the rest of us… This is where the FOMC had the chance to step up, both with a more aggressive cut in the discount rate and a more forceful post-meeting statement. –Richard F. Moody, Mission Residential
The Fed continues to couch its policy actions in terms of their impact on economic growth rather than admit that the primary motivation for Fed action is the turmoil in the financing market — turmoil which may become worse as a result of the miserly action on the discount rate. –Bear Stearns
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York was one of the seven banks that requested a [quarter percentage] point discount rate cut. Given its role as the eyes and ears of the Fed regarding financial markets, this suggests either a certain degree of comfort with the less-than-consensus discount rate action or that the Fed is no longer focused on the discount rate as a policy tool. –Drew Matus, Lehman Brothers
By not opting for bolder action now BEFORE the next round of financial market turmoil, the Fed looks destined to repeat the patterns of the past. Having taken the tightening cycle well beyond neutral on the way up, the FOMC is now retreating but too slowly to counteract the weakness set in motion by the maintaining for too long a "restrictive" monetary policy… Perhaps, the Board of Governors retained the penalty rate on discount window borrowing to preserve one option of addressing any strains in the money markets that could develop between now and the end of January. –David Resler, Nomura Securities
[The FOMC's] refusal to focus exclusively on downside risks to growth leave an impression of a Fed that lacks a bit of confidence it its own outlook… Reading between the lines, one does not see the rhetoric of the recent Bernanke or Kohn speeches and we think of division amongst committee participants. –Joseph Brusuelas, IDEAglobal
There were a number of curveballs thrown by the FOMC. They maintained the discount rate spread of [a half percentage point], which either indicates they don't regard the strains in the money market as a significant risk, or that an aggressive reduction won't do much good. Neither explanation does much for the market's confidence, and it was no surprise to see equities tumble immediately after the announcement. While the assessment of economic conditions is more grim than in October and there was a lone dissent in favor of a more aggressive move, several elements of the statement suggest that there is considerable unwillingness to signal more rate cuts moving forward. Surely concerns over inflation are the primary explanation, but the FOMC's decision not to characterize the balance of risks struck us as bizarre. –The Bank of Nova Scotia
We would view the inflation warning as boilerplate that any good central banker needs to put in its policy prospectus. More important is that the FF target has been reduced by 100bp in less than two months. Clearly, inflation fears are not an impediment to easing when broad swaths of the credit market are dysfunctional and the economy is in distress. –Joshua Shapiro, MFR, Inc.
Bernanke's Fed is increasingly working to stay one step ahead of economic troubles, though that task is notoriously tricky. The economic effects of deeply depressed housing markets may have disappeared from discussion these last few weeks, but housing pressures remain the single biggest factor clouding the economic horizon. In the end, expected economic softness comes down to a simple point: homeowners cannot spend money they don't have. And with falling home prices meeting a tightening of both mortgage and nonmortgage credit, money is one thing homeowners will find themselves short on in coming quarters. –Janney Montgomery Scott
This seems to have disappointed some on Wall Street who were looking for a little more in their Christmas stockings this year from Santa Bernanke… This was a balanced, cautious, and proper risk management decision that was designed to help mitigate the downside risks to growth, but cognizant of the fact that panicked or aggressive cuts could end up doing more damage than good, raising inflation expectations and bruising the U.S. dollar. –Scott A. Anderson, Wells Fargo
The FOMC is swimming upstream vigorously, but is barely making progress against a stiff downstream current. Only top rated prime borrowers have seen a reduction in effective borrowing rates since the financial market crisis erupted in August 2007. Due to a persistent and progressive escalation in spreads, less than prime rated borrowers have seen either no change in borrowing costs, or an actual increase. –Brian Bethune, Global Insight
Lowering interest rates will bolster business investment, benefiting manufacturers. Today's move puts the Fed in an accommodative stance, which is where it should be given recent reports of sluggish growth in consumer and business spending. –David Huether, National Association of Manufacturers
Just as the Fed has a duty to manage monetary policy in times of turmoil, so, too, does it have a duty to protect homebuyers from unfair and deceptive practices. The Fed has failed to adequately carry out this duty over the past 13 years by failing to meet its obligations under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act… As a regulator, no less than as a monetary policymaker, the Fed must address the serious problems in the mortgage market which are at the root of the broader economic challenges that our nation now faces. –Sen. Chris Dodd (D., Conn.), Senate Banking Committee chairman

Fury: Chisora/Haye Conning People, Bad For Boxing
Tyson Fury is adamant he will not step foot in the same ring as British heavyweight rival Dereck Chisora in future after the Londoner pulled out of their scheduled fight this Saturday.
The duo were set to settle their differences at the Phones 4 U Arena in Manchester this weekend, but Chisora pulled out of the rematch, which was billed as a final eliminator for the WBO title, on Monday.
While promoter Frank Warren insists Fury is contractually locked in to a rearranged date in October, the 6ft 9in Manchester fighter insists he wants to face WBC champion Bermane Stiverne if he gets past Chisora's stand-in opponent Alexander Ustinov.
"I'm not about to let people down especially in my home town, I don't care if he (Frank Warren) brought King Kong to me on Saturday night I was going to fight," said Fury.
"Most people would have got a journeyman to fight, I don't do that. This guy is rated number 10 in the world by two organisations, he's not a pushover. I've had no sparring and no preparation. It's a real 50/50 fight, it's about who gets who out of there.
"People like Dereck Chisora and David Haye are conning people, they're out to con the public and the British Boxing Board of Control say I'm bad for boxing! When I say I'm going to fight, I fight. I would fight with no eyes. There was nothing going to keep me out of that ring on Saturday.
"For him (Chisora) to have another little injury and pull out is absolutely pathetic. It's a disgrace to the world of heavyweight boxing."
Haye backed out from : - 2 fights with Vitali Klitschko (2009-2012) - 1 fight with Wladimir Klitschko (2009) - 1 fight with Manuel Charr ( 2013) -2 fights with Tyson Fury ( 2013) In a nutshell, he backed out…Comment by Dirk Diggler UK on 07-25-2014

Hi all,
I have used the Regulus tempalte before and love the way that the child pages to a parent page only show up once you go to the parent page.
I'm trying to build a photo site for a friend at the moment and need a theme that does this also, so he can have a menu item 'Photos' then when you're on that page a menu comes up in the sidebar which lists all the child pages underneath it.
Many thanks!

Thanks, Ian.
I'm sure that I am not alone when I tell you how very proud of you we all are.
Great job, as usual.
Thanks, locked and linked.
Wow! I am speechless - and those of you who know me know that is rare!
Thank you SO much.
Your work is done with excellence. Thank you!
Thank you. :)
I have a bunch of notes from the Michael Chertoff speech today at work, I might try to type some out later. Transcripts should be along tomorrow morning at some point (I will post links here). It was quite an interesting event.
DHS Chief Justifies Funding Cuts To NYC, Washington
He didn't have to be asked.
Unprompted, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff commenced to explain how the $125 million his agency is giving New York City is not really a cut from the $207 million the city received last year in homeland security funding.
"We look at it cumulatively," Chertoff offered June 1, a day after his agency announced grants to dozens of U.S. cities.
Over the past four years, New York has received a half billion dollars to bolster its ability to prevent, and if necessary, respond to terrorist attacks. That's five times more than the second-most funded city, Los Angeles, Chertoff said in address to the Brookings Institution in Washington.
And since 2003, New York's share of the total in grants handed out has been about 18 percent — the same as the city's share of the total this year, he said.
The secretary arrived for his talk armed with arguments and statistics amid uproar from states and localities that felt shortchanged May 31 when they were told their share of $1.7 billion given in grants to localities and states.
The loudest outcry came from New York, whose politicians interpreted the $125 million as a 40 percent slash in homeland security support.
"A knife in the back of New York," cried Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who vowed in the New York Times to "make them very sorry they made this decision."
Unhappiness reigned in Washington, too, where a $46 million grant was decried as a $31 million cut from last year's sum.
Chertoff called the allotments "fair to New York" and to other localities.
He said his agency has been trying to improve security in New York and other vulnerable cities for several years, and now it is time to invest in localities that have received little or no assistance so far.
New York is still considered the No. 1 target for terrorists by the Department of Homeland Security, Chertoff said. Los Angeles is No. 2. But so much money has already been granted to those cities that giving them more this year would lead to only marginal improvements, he said. The same money given to other cities that have been less well-funded would yield major security improvements, he said.
"We're trying to make sure we're not neglecting cities" that have received little so far, Chertoff said.
Louisville, Omaha, Charlotte, Newark and Jersey City each received substantial percentage increases. Although at $8.5 million for the first three and $34 million in a combined grant for the two New Jersey cities, all still fell far short of New York City in actual dollars.
Louisville, Omaha, Charlotte, Newark and Jersey City each received substantial percentage increases. Although at $8.5 million for the first three and $34 million in a combined grant for the two New Jersey cities, all still fell far short of New York City in actual dollars.

THANK YOU nw.
screwed that up, lol.
Your work deserves all the credit it can get, glad to help.
verrrrrryyyyyyyyyy impressive........
Would love to hear all about it. You have an exciting job.
South Dakota really doesn't need much from Homeland Security. All we have here is Mt. Rushmore and a whole bunch of conservatives. Since we have so few, dark swarthy types really stand out and would immediately become targets of interest. We look out for each other around here and seldom depend on government "help".
Thanks, Ian. Lurking but vigilant here.
Thanks for the ping!

Police Find Pipe Bombs During Home Search (Nashville)

Police Find Pipe Bombs During Home Search
Friday June 2, 2006 3:16 AM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities said they found pipe bombs and a jar containing the potentially deadly poison ricin while searching a home in suburban Nashville.
The ricin was found sealed in a baby food jar in a shed at the home of William Matthews, according to a joint statement Thursday from Nashville police, the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and health officials.
Officials said the jar was sealed and they do not believe the neighborhood was threatened.
Authorities first searched the shed Wednesday after receiving a tip from Matthews' estranged wife. They also found five gun silencers, a bowl containing ricin residue and bomb-making materials.
Matthews, 55, began serving a nine-month jail sentence last week for violating orders of protection taken out by his wife while he was being treated for substance abuse. No charges had been filed Thursday night, but authorities said they were talking with the U.S. Attorney's office.
It was not immediately known whether Matthews had a lawyer.
Ricin is a poisonous protein that can be used as a biological weapon. As little as 500 micrograms of the protein, roughly the amount that fits on the head of a pin, is enough to kill an adult, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Judge rejects motion to suppress evidence against man linked to Manitowish Waters explosive device case"
By Heather Schaefer - Daily News staff
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A federal judge in Arizona has rejected a motion to suppress evidence in the case of a man arrested in the Northwoods last summer after weapons and other explosive devices were found in his car and residences in Manitowish Waters and Phoenix, Arizona.
Denys Ray Hughes, 59, had asked the court to suppress evidence obtained during the searches of his homes and car.
Hughes was taken into custody last July after he was stopped in Kansas and found to be in possession of glass containers, firearms, reloading supplies and books referencing bomb-making. Following the traffic stop, Hughes' residences in Manitowish Waters and Phoenix were also searched and more suspicious items, including 43 guns and 3,500 castor beans, were found. Castor beans can be milled to make the biological toxin ricin.
He was eventually indicted on two counts of possession of unregistered devices and attempted production of ricin."

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez brought up Carlos the Jackal during a meeting of oil producers Thursday, calling the Venezuela-born terrorist who once took hostages at an OPEC meeting "a good friend."
Carlos, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, gained notoriety during the Cold War for staging a string of bombings and assassinations. He is serving a life sentence for murder in France.
Chavez recalled in his speech how Ramirez once in a letter referred to the Venezuelan leader's 1999 tour of OPEC member states.
He said Carlos, "a good friend," said in the missive from his prison that the tour appeared "hair-raising."
"I will never forget that phrase from Carlos," Chavez said.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON, June 1 (KUNA) -- The London City Airport was closed and train services were halted Thursday after a suspected unexploded Second World War bomb was found on a building site, police said.
The discovery was made at Canning Town, east London, this morning.
Trains were halted on the Docklands Light Railway while there were no flights in and out of London City Airport, which is about a mile and a half from the location of the bomb.
A police spokesman said "This is an ongoing incident and the area has been cordoned off." Britains National Air Traffic Services said all flights had been stopped at the small airport, which serves only UK and European destinations.
Unexploded bombs from the Second World War are frequently still being found in the UK but most are defused safely."

The Mafia's Shadow Kingdom: Across Latin America, governments capitulate to gangsters
spiegel ^ | May 22, 2006, 04:09 PM | Jens Glüsing in Rio de Janeiro
Posted on 06/01/2006 11:56:40 PM PDT by dennisw
Recent violence in Sao Paulo may just be the tip of the iceberg: Many parts of Brazil and indeed across Latin America, governments have capitulated to gangsters, and the rise of organized crime could end the recent leftward shift across Latin America.
Garbage containers block the road into slum district Vigario Geral, one of the most dangerous favelas in Rio de Janeiro. A visitor approaches the barricade, two youths appear from the shadow of a nearby building. They're carrying machine guns, and handguns are tucked into their pants. "You want to go to church, right?" the older of the two asks the stranger politely. "We'll take you there -- we're registered."
A boy rolls the containers aside. The youths deposit their Kalashnikov rifles on the backseat of a taxi and direct the driver through the labyrinthine streets. Father Marco Freitas receives his guest in front of the congregation room of Assembleia de Deus, Protestant sect. The priest knows the two youths: "They respect me; they often come to the service. It's only during police raids that things get dangerous."
But police raids rarely occur. "We're usually warned in advance," the youths point out. They escort the visitor back to the highway onramp and say goodbye. This is where their territory ends and the Brazil of law and order begins -- the Brazil of "asphalt," as the drug mafia calls it.
The slum Vigario Geral is part of a shadowy kingdom of drug gangs and their heavily armed footmen. The territory isn't marked on any map. Paramilitary gangsters control most of Rio's roughly 700 favelas. They've built a parallel government -- like the ones in Sao Paulo prisons, the slums of Caracas and Medellin, and the streets of Acapulco and Mexico City.
Organized crime is on the rise across Latin America.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Man shot in anti-terrorism raid
Police have cordoned off three roads in the area A man has been shot by police during a raid carried out under the Terrorism Act, Scotland Yard has said. He was taken to a nearby hospital after police searched a house in Forest Gate, east London. His injuries are not life-threatening.
A 23-year-old man has been arrested and is currently in custody at a central London police station.
The operation, early on Friday morning, was not linked to the London bombings of July 2005, police added.
The decision to launch the raid followed discussions between MI5, the anti-terrorist branch and the Health Protection Agency.
Roads closed
Police officers in protective clothing have moved into the terraced house in Lansdown Road in what is being described as a "precautionary measure".
Several people who were in the house at the time of the raid have been moved to other premises. They have not been arrested.
Lansdown Road, and neighbouring Rothsay Road and Prestbury Road, are all currently closed.
"At this stage there is nothing to suggest members of the public in the immediate area are at risk," Scotland Yard said in a statement.
"If we believe there is a potential risk, appropriate action will be taken and advice issued."
The home secretary has been kept fully informed of all developments since the operation began
Home Office spokesman
According to BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw, the raids follow an investigation into international terrorism targeting the UK.
Security sources have described the Forest Gate raid as "potentially significant" and said it followed months of surveillance.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been informed and is investigating."

One survivor after helicopter clips tower
Lori Glenn
DOERUN Four Army soldiers died in a helicopter crash after it clipped a television transmitting tower early Thursday morning. Amazingly, a fifth crew member walked away from the wreckage.
Just after 8 a.m., the MH-47 Chinook helicopter en route from Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah to Ft. Rucker, Ala., hit the WFXL tower just off Ga. Highway 270 east of Doerun during a routine training flight. The military has yet to confirm the cause of the accident. The U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center from Fort Rucker is investigating.
All on board were assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) at Hunter Army Airfield.
The Chinook, a helicopter with a front and rear rotor, appeared to have hit the tower with a rotor about 60 feet from the top of the 1,000-foot structure, taking a chunk out of the tower plus snapping a guy wire in the process. The WFXL tower stands alongside a WALB transmitting tower, which was not damaged. With one guy wire missing, the WFXL tower now has a slight, but dangerous, tilt.
The helicopter hit the tower with such force that three large pieces of the craft plus debris were slung over a quarter mile, witnesses and rescue workers confirmed. The Observer was able to see the cockpit, which was in the same cow pasture as the towers next to a fence lined with oaks and facing somewhat northeast.

Bunga, Bunga, Bunga!
It was established on Death Threat thread #7 that Bungholio's name is to be abbreviated:
Draw you own conclusions. The Lizardoids at LGF seem to have as rude a sense of humor as I do...
Well I tell you backhoe; when it comes to cut throat talk, I like to follow the discussion to the very end. So, we'll just follow along here until it gets resolved.
Yes, there's some dissent over there from those thinking the Death Threat updates are hogging the discussion of other matters, but I'm of the opinion that it needs to be taken seriously.
In it's own right, and then there is the pointed question, "how can Reuters be taken seriously as a news source if its corporate culture enables, or at least tolerates, such nastiness?"
This IS important in its own right.
It's time the rest of the world sees what kind of email is sent.
That's why I post some of it here from various sites on the net.
Indeed, and that's a valuable service you provide.
I've found the "comments" sections of the blogs which enable them to be very helpful in fact-checking and providing relevant links and quotes.
Of course, you have to slog through insults, inside jokes, flame wars, trolls, disruptors, and weirdly off-topic replies, too.
Just like forums...

Draft is 3 days away - and this year should be especially interesting because we are finally in a position to draft the best player available in a long time. We don't have to force any pick, and can bolster a certain position if that's how the board falls.
Mock Draft
Rd. 1 - Devon Still, DE (3-4), Penn State - Justin Smith had a Defensive MVP type season last season, but he is going to be 33 years old this season. McDonald is a damn good end on the other side, but he has had his share of injuries in the past. This is the perfect time to bring in a player who can learn from Smith and then eventually take over. Devon Still can also produce in 2012 by subbing in for Smith and/or McDonald a few times during the game. Not only he is an excellent run stopper, he can consistently collapse pocket in the passing game. It is important for us to continue to add talent to our front 7 if we want to become a truly elite defense year in and year out - like the Steelers and the Ravens.
Rd. 2 - Kelechi Osemele, G, Iowa State - A big powerful RT who is a better fit inside in NFL. Long arms, excels at run blocking and is good enough pass-blocker to start from day 1. He is a high character guy as well who was the leader of his team in college. Why spend a 1st round pick when you can get exactly what you're looking for in round 2? He moves well for his size. I would absolutely love to get him at the end of Rd. 2.
Rd. 3 - Marvin Jones, WR, California - Many of you know him pretty well since he plays for the local team. I expect him to be an excellent no. 2 WR at the next level. He possess all the skills needed to be a good starting WR at the pro-level.
Rd. 4 - (trade up) - Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State - Big, fast, and explosive - Turbin (if he can stay healthy) can turn out to be a steal at RB position in this year's draft. Yes, I know we have 4 RBs on the roster, but only Gore and Hunter are locked to be on roster come September. He can catch the ball out of the backfield as well and turn on those jets. I really really like Robert Turbin.
Rd. 5 - (traded to move up in 4th to get Turbin)
Rd. 6 - Jacquies Smith, DE/OLB, Missouri - We did pretty well the last time we drafted a DE/OLB from Missouri, so why not take a flier on the guy who played opposite of Aldon Smith? Of course, he is not as gifted or talented as Aldon, but he too hasn't peaked yet and can be turned into an 3rd down pass-rusher. He showed some flashes, so there is some potential with Jacquies.
Rd. 7 - Tashaun Gipson, CB/S, Wyoming - Played CB in college, but might be seen as a FS at the pro-level. No where close to being ready especially if he has to go through the position change, but with good size, speed, and production in college - he does posses some potential. Will contribute on special teams if he makes the roster.
