lol, considering the context in that statement PLUS the explanation of that statement, yes, "ignorant" fits quite well.
Mr. Marable, I told no one to shut up.
Here is the comment posted by Your littlte buddy, Chris, defender of of free speech. His, Yours, anyone he agrees with, but not mine.
Comment by Chris23 hours ago
John, your questions are crap actually. Pointless, ignorant, dumb questions. They have been answered, several times. You're just another rambler.
Due to the fact that I fought for your rights, I demand you to stop asking questions. Just as you demand answers from people whom you supposedly pay their salary (which is another crock of crap). There, now I've entered the level of ignorance your questions are coming from.
Chris , really, you actually wrote this and call anyone ignorant?
O.K.. This is enough!! Harold and is Military background lends him more qualifications, as it does with applicant for most any job. Thats enough said. Linda Ives, I hurt for you and can't imagine your life since your son has been gone. But a Sheriff, any Sheriff, can not get any information that isn't blacked out from ANY Federal Agency; and for you to know that even Gov. Clinton knows the truth, how can you continue to blame the local law enforcement? All cases are open until they are solved, tho many do become cold cases. Your best chance to solve this horrible crime is to reach to the agencies that already have the answers. God Bless,
Sam another reason my military was brought up is because what John P said to Chris. telling him to shut up I guess because of his opinions conflicting. Saddens me First amendment you know
Ok Sam this is simple I am not an investigator. Now please read what I posted I admit i left a word out here and there.I have been up since 8am. So I am getting a little tired.As far as the murders . That was probaly one of the worst cases I have ever heard of. It would be any investigators dream to solve it. But lets be realistic. There have been how many Sheriffs in office since then and now? Plus the State and FBI was involved? And no one has gotten anywhere . I do know the Lt over investigations goes over this case frequently. But I do not know the status. You can not make people talk on the record to law officers if they do not want to . I truly wish I could see it solved.This would help Ms Ives and the other parents and family members get closure to a point. Maybe some day we will see it solved maybe in in 3mos or 3 years or whenever. I would hope someday soon.
As far as my service having a bearing on Sheriff Penningtons performance it does not. What I am pointing to is I recognize an efficiently run department . Now these are my opinions which I have that right. Just Like you both have the right to yours. Because I can not make assumptions does not make me or the department wrong .
Logging out Later
Sorry to disappoint you but I have to think on my own. I am not the one brow beating or trying to cyberbully with an alias . Also just pure speculation on my part maybe its 70% of known drug trafficers that have been caught, search me.Without knowing Sheriff Penningtons information I have to speculate like you. But I am not running against the Sheriff. Also there is such a thing as loyalty. Some day you may know what it involves. You claim Sheriff Penningtons administration has failed . I disagree. I happen to have an extensive experience as a supervisor and have worked for both larger and smaller organizations. One happened to have the Largest Police Agency of the world. That is why I brought up the military . In the 70s the Air Force had the LARGEST police organization in the world. So I know I recognize a organization that is run well. Plus this is my third Sheriffs office to work for . So unlike you I have a lot of experience in the law enforcement field. No brag just fact.
Also I dont see where the law doesn't apply to everyone. However I know of one time in saline co (before Sheriff Pennington) that one incident did not appear to.But it was agreed by state and other co. officials the way it was handeled was for the publics best interest . As far as praying I do every day at least 4 or 5 times a day. For everyone even my enemies.For God to direct them which can have interesting results for them . Also you said military as you pointed out in a previous log you joined the conversation.AND YOU never answered. National guard wasn't it?During peace time. Be proud of it .My point is if that is true don't make it more than it is. Because that puts every service member down if you do. And that was posted by you one hour ago saying You fought for his rights refering to Chris. If that was true then you would not have demanded to stop asking questions. I haven't demanded it from you. Because I know how important and fragile our constitution is for this country. And that is another reason I dont believe you would say people are miss treated . I hope some day you will see things differently and support law enforcement regardless is in office .
I do not understand how Harolds military service decades ago has any bearing on sheriff Pennington performance today. Harold, can you give us a percentage of time in the past four years that you spent helping in finding the murderers of Don Henry and Kevin Ives. This year marks the 25th year of the murders. We would expect a full investigation from all law enforcement agencies starting with the sheriffs office. Reading Penningtons accomplishments only shows what is expected and not a bragging point. I did not read where our current sheriff had accomplished anything on this case in the past four years.
Harold, God forbid if your son was murdered in Afghanistan. Would you expect a full investigation on the incident? I am sure you would not stop short of a full investigation that completely answered all question and the murderers was brought to justice. Why is this being denied to Linda Ives?
That My Friend, Is What He Is Fighting For!
So you trust Penningtons comment that the dept has arrested 70% of drug dealers in Saline County? You Believe this because he said so? Because you trust him? Exactly when did you quit thinking for youself?
Mr.Marable, Your son's service is admirable, remind him to keep his head down and I pray that God keep him safe. Your service is admirable.But neither have any bearing on Penningtons' failed administration in Saline County over the last 4 years. In fact, when young Marable returns, I hope he returns to a county where the rule of law applies to each and every citizen, no matter who they are or who there Daddy is. Thats The Issue.

Trouver plus de THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER
Un oeil derrière les coulisses du métaleux extreme…
If there's a band that can rightfully claim the attributes "brutal" and "melodic" as their own, it has to be THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER! Those charming yet crazy kids have proved this on three acclaimed albums already, with the last one, "Nocturnal", being especially successful within the young extreme metal scene.
So it's no wonder that their many (headlining) tours and festival shows (Wacken, Summer Breeze, With Full Force a.o.) have been nothing short of triumphant. This band is definitely the hottest the extreme fraction has got to offer nowadays.
But let's get back to the "crazy" bit for a second: There's no better place to experience this character trait of theirs than the tour bus and several backstage rooms. Proof for this is delivered on the upcoming double DVD package "Majesty".
Disc 1 features an extremely amusing band documentary that is second to none in terms of memorable and funny tour stories, and that makes it unmistakably clear that the members of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER are a bunch of truly entertaining fellows.
Disc 2 offers the band's full musical power with eleven deadly live tracks recorded all around the world, plus all of the band's music videos, which in theirselves are as daft and hilarious as it gets.
Get a copy of "Majesty" and become a witness to the BLACK DAHLIA MURDER insanity! Crazy, brutal, comical, twisted, extreme = this is the true and unadorned history of the band! Welcome to the most extreme tour bus on earth!

Iran calls on Kurdish PJAK rebels to lay down arms or leave
Iran calls on Kurdish PJAK rebels to lay
down arms or leave
In July, Iran launched a major
offensive against PJAK rebels, shelling districts
near Iraq's Kurdistan border for weeks, but halted
it during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan to give
the rebels a chance to withdraw from border areas.
PJAK announced a unilateral ceasefire on September 4.
Authorities of the Islamic Republic have not staged
any attacks on the group, however, the cross border
shelling have continued.
The Iranian bombardment of Iraqi Kurdistan's border
areas had continued since more than 2 months,www.ekurd.netkilling and injuring many civilians and causing
damage for dozens of houses and agricultural fields.
Human Rights Watch said on September 2, that it had
evidence that Iran may have
deliberately targeted civilians in its offenisve
against the rebels.
Kurdish local officials and an NGO in early August
reported that more than 200 Iraqi Kurdish families
had been forced from their homes by weeks of Iranian
shelling of separatist rebel bases in northern Iraq.
The Guards resumed the offensive on September 2,
pledging to "continue until all
counter-revolutionaries, rebels and terrorists have
been cleared away."
Iranian media also quoted the commander of the
Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, as saying that
the presence of PJAK "prompted our ground forces to
go ahead with precise and pre-emptive plans against
this threat and it is continuing."
The two Guards' commanders in their comments made no
reference to a call for a truce on September 5 by
PJAK. The separatists urged Iran to reciprocate in
order to prevent further bloodshed.
Tehran responded a day later, saying Iraq's
Kurdistan autonomous government, which is acting as
a mediator, must clarify the details of the proposed
2004 the PJAK took up arms for self-rule in Kurdistan province northwestern of
Iran (Iranian Kurdistan, Eastern Kurdistan). Half the members of PJAK
are women. The PJAK has over 5,000 armed
Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey all have significant
ethnic Kurdish minorities. Estimate to over 12 million
Kurds live in Iran.

Hi, I've create somes custom post type and I need edit in the front end some field from this Custom Post type and I can't. Anyone can help me?
You can't, as in you don't know how to make custom fields editable or that it doesn't work?
Thanks a lot, I had no read this, sorry.
One question more, only the admin can edit the posts? or another user can?
Thanks, again.
Everyone with the appropriate capabilities can edit posts. It depends on how you configure your post type.
Scribu, your plugin is awesome! I do however have an issue I have been struggling with for a while now and can't seem to find any supporting docs for this. Would you be so kind as to look over this code and tell my why I cant seem to get the editable fields to be placed in the correct span....
function elist_display_additional_info(){
global $post;
$custom_options = get_option( 'elist_custom_options' );
$custom_options_order = get_option( 'elist_custom_options_order' );
$output = '';
if ( $custom_options_order['et_custom_options'] ){
foreach ( $custom_options_order['et_custom_options'] as $custom_option_title ){
$cf = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_et_cf_' . $custom_option_title, true );
if ( '' != $cf ){
$cf = editable_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_et_cf_' . $custom_option_title, 'input' );
$output .= '
';
$output .= '
' . esc_html( $custom_options[$custom_option_title]['title'] ) . ':' . '
';
$output .= wpautop( wp_kses_post( $cf ) );
$output .= '
 ';
$output = apply_filters( 'elist_additional_info', $output );
if ( '' != $output ) { ?>

<?php esc_html_e( 'Additional Info', 'eList' ); ?>

<?php echo $output; ?>
When the user logs in they are able to edit the post just fine... however I cant get the additional information section of the site to be editable.
Thanks for your help
You're doing two things wrong here:
1) Posting in an unrelated thread, instead of opening a new one.
2) Posting the issue on github and then after only 15 minutes posting it again. This is not ok.
I've already replied on github:
Please be more patient next time.
Apologies.... I was uncertain if my post on github worked. thank you for the quick reply!

Ramsey et al. attempt to clarify methodological issues for identifying innovative behaviour. Their effort is seriously weakened by an underlying presumption that the behavior of primates is generally learned and that of non-primates is generally "innate." This presumption is based on a poor grasp of the non-primate literature and a flawed understanding of how learned behaviour is genetically assimilated.

Worker Memorial Day Remarks
OSHA All-Employee Commemoration
Washington, D.C.
April 26, 2002
OSHA Remembers
On Worker Memorial Day we remember those who have died on the job. We recognize our national loss in the deaths of our fellow Americans and offer our heartfelt sympathy to their loved ones.
6,000 American workers die every year. We know the statistics. But behind each number is a real person -- someone who left behind hopes and dreams and family and friends. Today, we remember and name some of those real people:
Manuel Barrariso and Donato Conde, who died when improperly erected scaffolding fell in New York City last October;
Chauncey Harris, who died earlier this month in Florida when he was caught in a wire machine;
Robert Sturm, who worked for 30 years on an oil well in Texas; he was killed in March when he was hit by a truck;
Lathia Green lost her life on April 9 when a cable in a woodyard in Georgia hit her; and
Brian McDonnell died last September 11 trying to rescue others when the World Trade Center collapsed after the terrorist attack.
I could go on and on. If we had a list of all the names, it would take 12 hours to read them.
It's our job to work with all stakeholders and find ways to prevent these tragedies.
Occasionally, we find someone with little or no regard for the welfare of workers. Sometimes there are people who don't know the right thing to do or don't want to spend the time or money or do it. But most employers and workers want to do the right thing. Our job is to help them understand what needs to be done and why safety and health saves lives ... add value to businesses ... and preserves the value of our Country.
We pay the greatest tribute to those who have died on the job when we give our utmost to prevent future tragedies. It is not enough to pause in remembrance - we must also act.
I cannot stress too strongly the value of the work we are all engaged in. Or my appreciation for the many dedicated and knowledgeable people in OSHA and other organizations who serve America's workers.
When I came to OSHA nine months ago, I vowed to help reduce injuries, illnesses and deaths on the job. That is my commitment, and I know it is yours.
Today, I want to share with you a new strategy we're going to employ in our effort to reduce fatalities among Spanish-speaking workers. In the year 2000, workplace fatalities declined by 2 percent -- but deaths among Hispanic workers rose 12 percent. That we know.
What we don't always know is the true cause of the death. Are the jobs inherently more dangerous? Are there language barriers that could have contributed to the incident? Or are there other factors?
We don't have the data to answer those questions. Our plan is to get it.
Beginning immediately, we are going to start collecting additional information during fatality and catastrophe investigations. Our data collection will include answers to such questions as: Did the fatality or catastrophe involve an Hispanic or other immigrant worker? Was language a possible barrier?"
If the answer is yes, we'll seek out further information and include it in the abstract on the incident -- such as determining the primary language of the worker who died ... how well he or she spoke English ... the country of birth of the victim ... and whether he or she was a day laborer.
With this information in combination with other information, we can better address root causes of fatalities and better determine what needs to be done to prevent future tragedies.
We're also going to do a better job of targeting our construction inspections. Many immigrant workers who've lost their lives on the job have been employed in construction. We've long known that we need a better system for identifying the specific contractors and the construction sites with the highest incident rates.
We need to address his problem directly. Very shortly, we are going to ask 13,000 construction employers to report their injury and illness data to us. This will give us a clearer picture of what's happening in the construction industry. We'll know more about injuries and illnesses. We'll have a better idea about where fatalities might occur in the future.
And we'll use this information to plan outreach and compliance assistance programs. We'll also be able to target inspections to sites where there are high fatality risks.
I am excited about these two new initiatives. By improving the information we have, we'll be better able to address fatalities among immigrant workers and safety and health on construction sites.
There is one other thing I really want to do. And that is to personally express my sympathy to the families of workers who die on the job.
For some time, OSHA area directors have sent letters to the families of deceased workers and offered information on OSHA's investigation of their deaths. I think that is very helpful, and we want to continue that practice.
But as administrator of OSHA, I want to take that a step further. I want families of victims to know that ... at the highest levels of this agency .. we care about every person who dies on the job. I want to send these families a letter ... telling them how much I personally regret their loss. And I want them to know that we in OSHA are doing everything we can to try to prevent future deaths so that others will not have to suffer.
Finally, I cannot stress strongly enough how valuable your work is. Together, our goal is to make a difference in the lives of workers.
I believe that we are doing that. Worker Memorial Day reminds us just how important our efforts are. We remember those who have died. And we renew our commitment to helping employers and workers create and sustain a safe and healthful work environment. Thank you for your passion, you dedication and your hard work.

Zury Human Hair Wig HR Monica [D]
Quality of Hair Horrible
The quality of hair at the crown of the wig is not grade A more like a C or D. The crown of the wig didn't lay flat on top of my head. It was too tight considering I didn't use the adjustable bands on the inside. The picture in the advertisement is very modern and sheek, however my wig was not flattering at all. I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone.

Liverpool Message Board
FSG need to prove themselves
I don't think they have as yet. Yes the club is more stable than the last lot, and the commercial department is actually starting to look the business, but it is an irrefutable truth that they have only spent a net £34 mil, and if we are not gonna end up in the doldrums of 30 odd points behind the champions every season then they need to seriously up the ante to the tune of 50 mil plus sales (at least) so we can get the quality of player required to break back in to the top four and then compete for the title.
Sabermetrics does not work for football, every team buys the title.
Lets not forget the stadium issue either.
It's my opinion that come August, we are going to know whether FSG are serious about success at LFC, or its just more bullsh*t.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I suspect the thrust of this message is upside-down. Instead of FSG being the servants of the club, the club are the servants of FSG. It is more that LFC needs to prove itself to FSG.
There are owners who are willing to throw in huge sums for players just for the fun of it. Obviously making a profit is not the main motivation. City have owners like this. There's another club too - I forget who temporarily.
And then there are owners who buy a club as in investment. Typically the American owners of the big clubs are like this. Their purpose is not to win trophies for the glory, it's to extract income from the various operations, or to make a big capital gain. These investors won't just carry on throwing money in for the hell of it. They will only carry on putting money in if they believe that extra money is a good investment.
There is certainly an argument that big investments upfront are needed to lift a club into higher income brackets. Chelsea have been making it for years (and no-one much has been listening). But when hard-earned money is being asked for from investors who have finance rather than footie in the blood stream, these dragons need to be persuaded that extra financing won't turn out to be throwing good money after bad.
It's early days to know how FSG will see it. But I would expect them to be asking some very hard questions before, in your words, "proving themselves".

The owners dont need to prove anything, they have been brilliant and this is a learning curve for them. They came in, unsaddled our debt and then within 18 months have trimmed away £500k a week of our wage bill whilst reducing the average age of our squad by monstrous amounts and in keeping with the homegrown rules and prepared us for FFP. Other then the players we bought in the summer, we also went for Phil Jones and Ashley Young, just that we know of as well as not planning to sell Meireles till he showed his late hand.
The only reason we didnt buy in January was because they had learned their lesson with over priced January signings, showing they are quickly learning the football 'game'. Comolli was sacked as they have developed a new plan, the new stadium plan is being developed and we have a kit deal worth around £300m! What do some people want?! We were 1 day away from administration and now people want to be competing in the shop window with Madrid and City! Even though results have been average this year, we are moving forward as a club, if patience is really so low, there is other clubs you can support!
too true! only the Ceteh Sheiks and Abramovitch are in it for fun these days. we need to start proving we have an eye for players and can spend wisely (at least 60% of the time) before they start throwing more bread on the water

I too would like to see them spending big..
I just hope we've not swapped one american owner who spent little for another..
Spending £100m isn't such a huge sum when it comes to buying good players.. We could buy 2 class players at £50m each and thats the money spent.
Clubs like Man Utd / City, Chelsea think spending £50m on a player then buying a £30m player is no big deal.
Yet when it comes to us we're sweating if we spend large sums.
We spent £35m on Carroll and that was seen as such a big fuss.. Had it been at another club I'd previously mentioned. They'd be very little made of it..
It's ironic.. had I made this thread I'd have been pounced on..

My concern and it's one I share with Armchair, (incredible that we agree on something) is that we have spent quite large sums of money for years and more than one or two of those signings have simply bombed.
Time to get some much needed value!
Marquee signings do not make a side. There must be balance.
Hey, Robert, here´s a question for you. Were you born cynical or have you always been that way? Whichever, keep it up please - your posts are always spicey as a result.
.........and I did not include Everton in the above!
Newcastle have done remarkably well. Huge credit to their scouts, Pardew etc. Totally unexpected.
For me Tottenham and Harry have built a house of straw. Take Modric out of the side and they struggle. Their back 4 consists of too many players that are crocked, getting to the end of their careers or both. The front line consists of players on loan. It cant last without some more investment. Big investment but chances are they will have European money and fixtures to attract new players with. They've hit the top 4 target but their journey on hitting that target regularly has only just begun and still needs considerable investment.

Whoa Robert !! Your words like "we, us" suggests you're turning to the red side ;).. if so welcome aboard lol.. you it makes sense..

Sensible expectations
I honestly think LFC's rebirth will be chapters in a book.
Dogleish will be there for another season or 2, galvanising what he has with slow increments forward and lets face it 6 home wins is not what you are about.
Its just as well you won the league cup as i think European football will at least attract that 2nd tier of players you need, this is where you are at at the moment.
You will maybe sneak back into the top 4 at some point which again will attract a few top tier players, then they will sell up, make a profit, move on and someone else will take the reigns, who will bring in their own manager, which again is whats needed, Dogleish isnt top tier anymore, its gone past him.
A new stadium............hahahaha, envelopes to LCC again??

So at 8:30 at night I go looking with a flashlight through the vents on our raised foundation house for the source of the smell. After a few minutes I noticed a big pile of soap bubbles from the dishes we had just finished doing. Good news was we found the smell. Bad news was it was time to call a plumber.
Seeing that it was late at night I figured the only people who would come out would be the bigger companies. I knew they would be a little expensive but at least just wanted somebody to tell me what was going on. So a little while later a really nice guy named Ben showed up. He went under the house and said not only was there kitchen issues but the main line that ran across the house was rusting out since its an older house that still had the galvanized steel. He got on the phone to call out his supervisor Curtis because apparently he couldn't give an estimate for that or something. Not really sure why.
So we waited about 30 minutes for Curtis to show up. He didn't even go under the house. He just looked at some pictures Ben took and listened to what he said was going on. After that Curtis goes off to write the estimate. He came back a few minutes later and said he could get it all taken care of for only $11,782. After I shook off what he had just told me I said well its 11 at night at this point. I need to look over the finances in the morning and see how I would pay for this. Curtis was very quick to point out they have helpful financing available.
The next day we called out a few other plumbers for estimates. These are the following quotes we got: $1,500 $1,100 and $700 for the same work. Whenever we showed them the Rescue Rooter estimate they could never believe it. One guy said he would replace every pipe in the house with new copper for half of what they wanted to replace one pipe and a few joints with plastic. We eventully went with American Plumbing and Rooter who did an excellent job for $700.
Stay away from Rescue Rooter. Call them out for a free estimate if you just want to know whats wrong but do not let them do the service. After reading other online reviews it seems like one of their more popular scams is to have the initial worker call out the supervisor and then hit you with the scare tactics and huge bill.

The Light of the World (painting)
The Light of the World (1851–3) is an allegorical painting by William Holman Hunt representing the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door, illustrating Revelation 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me". According to Hunt: "I painted the picture with what I thought, unworthy though I was, to be by Divine command, and not simply as a good Subject."[1] The door in the painting has no handle, and can therefore be opened only from the inside, representing "the obstinately shut mind".[2] Hunt, 50 years after painting it, felt he had to explain the symbolism.[3]
The original, painted at night in a makeshift hut at Worcester Park Farm in Surrey, is now in a side room off the large chapel at Keble College, Oxford.[4][5] Toward the end of his life, Hunt painted a life-size version, which was hung in St Paul's Cathedral, London, after a world tour where the picture drew large crowds. Due to Hunt's increasing infirmity, he was assisted in the completion of this version by English painter Edward Robert Hughes. A third smaller version of the painting is on display at Manchester City Art Gallery, painted by Hunt between 1851 and 1856.
This painting inspired much popular devotion in the late Victorian period and inspired several musical works, including Sir Arthur Sullivan's 1873 oratorio The Light of the World.[3]
In popular culture[edit]
- Plays a significant role in the plot of the 2010 two-part time travel novel Blackout/All Clear, by Connie Willis
- Appears in Terrence Malick's 1978 film Days of Heaven
- Frequently mentioned throughout the Merrily Watkins novels by Phil Rickman.
- Mentioned in Thomas Savage (novelist)'s "The Corner of Rife and Pacific," several pages from the end of the novel, as hanging "in the Boone living room" to illustrate their devoutness.
- A sepia print of the painting was given as a Christmas gift to George Edalji in Julian Barnes's novel Arthur & George.[6]

"Castillion on the Plain" Castellón de la Plana by DanielF
Castellón de la Plana Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 59 photos
The quiet capital city of the province of Castelló is an industrial and commercial centre where tourists hardly ever venture. Eclipsed by the nearby city of Valence and the beaches of the resorts on the Mediterranean coast, the charms of Castelló are hardly enough to convince but the odd intrepid travelers that explore the region.
Castelló is a prosperous city whose wealth is based mainly in the tile industry and in the citrus fruit business. And business are therefore the main reasons for the visitors to Castelló. There is also, however, some sightseeing to be done, a good culinary offer and the weather is great almost year round. Not to mention the fact that it makes a great tandem with the nearby coastal resort of Benicŕssim.
- Pros:Friendly people
- Cons:Closes down during the Summer

Hi, I run a tech information site for motorcycles. I rolled into WP many months ago to get away from a bare bones HTML site that I was still hand-coding from years ago. Here's the site:
I recently started noticing something and I'm unsure if it's a default feature of WP I overlooked, a result of a plug-in, something that was part of a new update, or something else altogether. I used to be able to hotlink images from my site into my forums (separate sub-domain) or other places online where I wanted to, now everything that exists on my WP page will no longer hotlink - everything causes access errors and 404 pages.
Does anyone know why this is happening or if there is a way to fix this? I actually run 3 sites on 3 sub-domains and I do a lot of posting on online forums where my pictures help others.
I also use the NextGen photo gallery plugin if that matters.
I appreciate any insight, I've tried searching for this without any real results. I've tried fooling with .htaccess files and even double checking file attributes/permissions - nothing had any affect on this.
I forgot to mention that I do have a .htaccess file for the entire site, but it is only supposed to block hot-linking to 2 URL's - I had problems with 2 websites stealing my content and hot-linking my images on top of that. I believe the code in the .htaccess file is sound and I have had another programmer double check it.

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

Africa Can Still Survive - Poem by Simon Quperlier
We were told to go and multiply, but mankind misconstrued the heavenly word and now has spawned to an extent of making poverty a fortune to the posterity, the families have outweighed the resources available, our kids need better education, since the methodology applied will only take away the blame from the government and convey the impression to the populace that it cares, when every service offered is poor, look at the famished families in the deserts, no food, no shelter, no clothes, can we really call it double-trouble? living in a 3rd world country doesn't mean we can't step up to the plate and make a change as different nations, being the rant of the family doesn't mean you can't mesmerize the older members, we can be the powerful and richest long as we keep in mind that cooperation is all that matters.

Speeches - (Archived) Table of Contents
| Information Date:
| Presented To:
|VPPPA Conference
| Speaker:
|Jonathan L. Snare
| Status:
Deputy Assistant Secretary
VPPPA Conference
August 22, 2005
Dallas, Texas
- Good afternoon. And thank you Davis for that kind introduction. Thank you Mike and members of the Board, as well as our Federal and State partners who are here today to celebrate a wonderful year of accomplishments.
- I would also like to welcome former OSHA Assistant Secretary John Henshaw who is here today. Thank you for your dedicated leadership. You have left all of us with some big boots to fill.
- While I am handing out thank yous, I cannot forget to recognize the folks who prepared that BBQ lunch. I lived in Dallas for almost two decades. My wife's biggest complaint about moving to DC was that we can't find good BBQ anymore. I wish she could have been here to share it with me, but at least I was here to enjoy it with friends.
- You know, 20 years ago, just about the time I graduated from law school and moved here to Dallas, there were only 11 VPP sites throughout the entire U.S. Today, there are 11 sites right here in Dallas, and 8 more in the metropolitan area. There are 200 sites across the state of Texas.
- In fact, the VPP-PA is a bit like the great state of Texas. You're both independent and determined, even trail blazing. You are proud of your traditions but always forward thinking. And you're both branded by the symbol of a star. With y'all in town for the next couple days, the lone star in the Texas flag will wave for VPP.
- But perhaps that's one of the differences between the two of you. While Texas is a lone star, the fact that there are more than 2,000 people gathering here this week, means that you never have to stand alone.
- And the family is growing. There are more than 1,300 VPP sites in the U.S. And with two new pilot programs and a proposal on the table for expanding further into the construction industry, you are reaching further than ever before.
- Your drive to spread the program is expanding south to Mexico, north to Canada and across the Atlantic. Ireland just recognized its first VPP site. And we have someone from Finland who is here to learn more about how to get involved. That's just incredible.
- Can I have a round of applause from our friends who traveled so far to be here this week.
- Everyone here should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished. I applaud each of you for taking a proactive role in improving the safety and health of American workers. It is because of you, that I believe in VPP.
- This week is about business, but it's also about having some fun together. I encourage you to visit the sites around Dallas, including Pioneer Plaza, South Fork Ranch, Texas Stadium - home of my favorite team the Dallas Cowboys - and the State Fair Grounds. The visit will inspire the Texan in all of you.
- In fact, when I was talking to Buddy Elmore earlier... Stand up Buddy, where are you?
- When Buddy and I were talking earlier, he said that after visiting the fairgrounds and seeing the famous 50-foot cowboy statue there, he'd like to submit a motion to be known as "Big Tex" for the rest of the week... Now, that's what I call "Saddling up for Safety."
- VPP is OSHA's premier cooperative program, representing the highest levels of commitment to safety and health. Twenty years of demonstrated results prove that it works. In fact, on average, your DART rates are 50 percent below other companies in your industries.
- That is truly remarkable. Think of how many people are safe and healthy because of the great work you do.
- What if every company was VPP? What if we could cut the number of accidents in half at every workplace? That is what many of you have already done. That is the potential for all of us. And that is why I believe in VPP.
- Every single person here today should be proud of your accomplishments... I am honored to stand before you.
- It is actually great to get out of Washington and come back home to Dallas for a couple days. As I have learned in the few years I have been in DC... Washington is 69 square miles... surrounded by reality.
- Now I cannot take credit for that line. It belongs to John Miles. John, can you please stand up... Thank you for loaning me your material.
- It is good to be out here in the real world. In many ways, VPP is my reality check, because it is the best evidence I know of, about the positive impact that a commitment to safety and health can have for American workforce.
- VPP is a critical tool to help OSHA's reach its goals. It is an important part of OSHA's Strategic Management Plan, our 5-year blueprint for success. It's an important part of our budget as well. Next year's proposed budget includes an extra million dollars to expand cooperative programs in state plan states. That's good news for everyone here today.
- I take my job as the head of OSHA seriously. Under the leadership of Secretary Chao, we are setting priorities for the agency and advancing OSHA's mission to significantly reduce on-the-job injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
- Just as you are led by an extraordinary team comprised of Mike Maddox, Davis Layne and members of your boards, I am aided by two excellent executives - Steve Witt and Kim Lazor.
- Since OSHA was established 34 years ago, we have made great advances in reducing injuries, illnesses and fatalities. Workplace injuries and illnesses have been on a downward trend in recent years. From 2002 to 2003, recordable cases of injuries and illnesses declined 7.1 percent. The U.S. on-the-job fatality rate is the lowest ever recorded.
- Let me repeat that one more time, because I think it is really important. The U.S. on-the-job fatality rate is the lowest ever recorded.
- And listen to this. After nearly a decade of increases, fatalities among Hispanic workers have fallen by 11.6 percent since 2001.
- Remember, these aren't just numbers. They are people, like you and me. They are coworkers and colleagues, friends and family. Every injury avoided and every fatality prevented means one more person returns home to their family at the end of the day. Every single number is someone's life story.
- That's why we are gathered here this week. And that is why we go to work each and every day.
- These accomplishments are the result of the hard work and determination of thousands of safety and health leaders like you, who have dedicated their lives to saving the lives of those they work with.
- In support of this mission, we have developed a balanced approach to safety and health that consists of 3 elements:
- First - Strong, fair and effective enforcement;
- Second - Outreach, education and compliance assistance; and
- Third - Cooperative and voluntary programs.
- First - Strong, fair and effective enforcement;
- Our "balanced approach" is working on all fronts.
- With respect to outreach, education and compliance assistance, there have been some remarkable achievements lately. Now, I don't want to go into all of the details, but there are a few numbers that really stand out in my mind. I don't expect you to remember all of them, but just think about them for a second:
- 335,000 people are taking part in OSHA-sponsored training programs this year.
- 60 million people will visit the OSHA website.
- They will find more than 200 different safety and health topics pages.
- 57,000 people subscribe to QuickTakes.
- We've distributed 100,000 QuickCards on trenching hazards.
- And 30,000 heat stress QuickCards were pre-ordered even before they became available.
- 335,000 people are taking part in OSHA-sponsored training programs this year.
- And that just scratches the surface of what we're up to. More products. Better tools. Incredible services. That's what we're about these days.
- And that is why I believe in OSHA.
- But you don't have to believe me. You can hear it in the words of your fellow VPPs.
- Bill Greehey is the CEO of Valero Energy. He believes in partnering with OSHA. And he believes in VPP. I'd like to share his story and his words with you.
- A couple of months ago, Bill was standing in a tent on a warm summer day at Valero's Ardmore, Oklahoma refinery, as it was being inducted into VPP. He looked out on 250 of his people and told them about the time he first met John Miles. This is what Bill said to them:
- "Four years ago, when we were in the process of getting our Texas City facility certified, John came up to visit me... And he said, 'You know, I want to be your partner. And if you succeed, we succeed.'
- "And I didn't know much about OSHA," said Bill. "But I thought 'Wow! What if every agency came and said we want to be your partner?' I mean, how much money would we save, and how much time would we save doing that?"
- "I turned to John and said "I want every single refinery to be a VPP Star site."
- Well Bill and the folks at Valero are well on their way... Partnership and cooperation - starting right at the top... THAT'S VPP. And that's why this program is so important.
- OSHA's other cooperative programs can inspire similar reactions. The Alliance and Strategic Partnerships programs have nearly 600 participants combined. And a number of these even have a VPP element.
- The Airline Industry Alliance, combined with the Delta Airlines VPP Star has generated a lot of interest among the airlines. And our Partnership with Koch Industries and the Army specifically includes a goal to expand VPP participation in both. Indeed, there can be a bridge between these programs.
- But we're here to talk about one program in particular. We're here for VPP.
- Last month, representatives from OSHA and VPPPA met at the Department of Labor for the first joint meeting in almost two years. I was there for the meeting. It was great to see the board members and to talk about the issues that are important to both of us. This kind of open communication is essential for the growth of VPP.
- Many of you have provided valuable input during development of the pilots for VPP Corporate and Challenge, as well as the proposal for VPP Construction. As usual, the Association has played an instrumental role in VPP's growth.
- Well, here is where we stand. Our VPP Corporate pilot is in full swing with 7 participants, 3 of whom have completed onsite evaluations. Georgia Pacific was the first company approved for the program. It was quite a ceremony in Atlanta.
- Georgia Pacific has already reported that the lessons of VPP are working across their entire company. Total case incident rates have been reduced by 27% in the last year, with VPP locations experiencing only 1.4 incidents per 100 workers. And even its non-participant sites have benefited from the corporate changes in safety, experiencing a 24% reduction in the number of incidents. Safety is becoming part of their culture. And it is just wonderful to see.
- The U.S. Postal Service was the first federal agency approved into the Corporate Pilot. The program is helping to ensure that neither rain or snow... or slips, trips and falls, will keep them from delivering the mail. The program is helping to provide safe and healthful working conditions for more than 700,000 postal workers.
- I love giving great news. Today, there is a lot of it. I am extremely proud to announce that International Paper has been officially accepted into the pilot. Congratulations to everyone from International Paper who is here today. Welcome to the pilot. Job well done.
- Other companies are lining up as well. Dow has submitted their application and we are anticipating applications from Johnson & Johnson, Maytag and GE.
- There's also good news for OSHA Challenge, which provides a road map for implementing safety and health management systems. It is going strong with 12 Administrators, 51 active Participants, and 19 Candidates who are in the process of applying.
- Two Construction Track participants have already graduated from the pilot - Garber Brothers Precision Concrete and The Weitz Company.
- It didn't take long for Weitz to discover firsthand, the incredible difference that VPP can make. No sooner than a couple weeks after joining the program, a frame worker in Memphis fell off of a truss. But his life was saved because he was wearing the fall protection equipment that had been recommended as part of the program's site-specific safety plan.
- That is what VPP is all about. People fall. And you catch them. At Weitz, and hundreds of other companies just like it, this means saving a life and keeping a family whole. This is why I believe in VPP.
- As with Corporate, the Challenge Pilot has another year until we determine if it will be a permanent program. But so far, the numbers are exceeding expectations and the program is progressing well. More stories like Weitz, and I think you will agree, we could not help but continue the program.
- Now let me say a few words about VPP Construction. We are conducting an intensive policy review in order to finalize VPP Construction. Many of you provided comments as part of the process. Thank you for your valuable input.
- The proposal keeps the option for site-based participation, which is designed for long-term construction projects of at least two years, and includes subcontractors. The proposed program also offers Corporate, Division or Business Unit participation and keeps the option for new Demonstration Programs to test alternative methods for meeting requirements.
- We anticipate a final program design in 2006.
- These programs are the new frontier for safety. Participants in the programs are pioneers. We look forward to working with all of you and our State Plan partners as we blaze these new trails.
- Looking forward gives us an idea of how far we've come. VPP started in 1982. By the early Nineties, it became clear that as the popularity of VPP continued to grow, OSHA needed additional personnel to assist with on-site evaluations. Working closely with the VPP-PA, we created the Special Government Employees Program (SGE).
- Like VPP itself, the SGE program has grown significantly. There are now more than 585 active SGEs - 195 of whom worked on 228 VPP on-sites.
- 180 new SGEs have been trained this year. As the numbers are growing, so are their accomplishments. But among all of the SGEs, there are 7 who stand out above all others. They have been selected as finalists for the first ever SGE of the Year Award.
- The finalists were considered and scored at the VPP Managers Meeting in July. They were evaluated based on SGE Onsites and other activities, technical expertise, initiative and dependability. Looking at the nominations, you would be amazed at the level of dedication exhibited by the nominees for this year's award. It's really staggering.
- I would like to invite the finalists for SGE of the Year to join me on stage.
- Your finalists are:
- Joel Plante of Pratt & Whitney, from Region 1
- Paul Kniskern of Curtis Lumber Company, from Region 2
- Paul Snyder of Rohm & Haas, from Region 3
- Greg Arbise of Delta Airlines, from Region 4
- Kerry Fischman of Georgia Pacific, from Region 5
- Don Jones of Dow Chemical, from Region 6, and
- Mike Pendergrass of Superior Industries, Inc., from Region 7.
- Joel Plante of Pratt & Whitney, from Region 1
- Thank you, every one of you, for your incredible work this past year... Can I please get a round of applause for the 7 finalists standing before you. Thank you.
- Without further ado, the SGE of the year is... Kerry Fischman.
- Kerry has been an active participant in Region 5's Onsite evaluations and has been instrumental in at least 10 sites successfully obtaining VPP status. He is one of the most dependable SGEs in the country and is a valued mentor with extensive technical expertise. Kerry is always among the first to volunteer for safety activities and a regular participant at National and Regional VPP-PA conferences. He also has volunteered his services to OSHA's Training Institute in Chicago.
- Congratulations Kerry. Your hard work and determination is an example of success that every federal and private sector employee should strive for.
- Just as Kerry is an inspiration to all SGEs, businesses like you are inspiring federal agencies to follow your lead in exploring VPP. After all, if we in the federal government are asking you to be more safe and healthful, how can we expect anything less from ourselves.
- Federal agencies regularly contact OSHA with interest in VPP. In fact, there are many government services that we enjoy every day that are made safer and healthier by VPP.
- The letters we receive from the U.S. Postal Service, the security provided by our armed forces, the serenity that we enjoy at our national parks and even the money that we spend at our local stores, is brought to you in a safer and healthier way because the federal agencies responsible for these vital services are members of VPP.
- Yellowstone National Park, the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, postal facilities across the country, the Tobyanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine are all proud VPP sites. And officials from the Pentagon are exploring how to implement VPP at their facility as well.
- I am confident that VPP can be highly effective at the Pentagon and throughout DOD. After all, the principles of VPP have proven themselves in even the most hazardous situations.
- Some of you may have heard the following story, but I think it bears repeating.
- David Baker, a former OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer and the current Region 10 VPP Manager, is an Army Reservist who was called to active duty in Khandahar, Afghanistan in 2002 as one of the Army's newly established Combat Safety Officers. In Afghanistan, David instituted VPP processes, proving that the principles of VPP can work just about anywhere.
- During his deployment, there were no fatal accidents. Only 10 recordable injury accidents occurred at all. To put this in perspective, for a normal military operation like this, there would have been at least 20 fatalities during this time.
- I believe David is here with us today. David... would you please stand up?
- Thank you David, for your incredible work in 2002 and for your continued dedication in Region 10 on behalf of VPP. This is the kind of success that I love to hear about. These are the stories I love to share.
- VPP continues to expand elsewhere around the globe. It is extremely exciting to see other nations embracing the principles of VPP and even moving to implement their own programs.
- In support of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Occupational Safety and Health Tri-national Working Group is developing a recognition program to acknowledge companies achieving superior safety and health excellence in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.
- And great strides have been made in implementing VPP in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
- In fact, I am very excited to announce here today that the GE Infrastructure - Security facility in Dublin, Ireland has become the first ever VPP site in Ireland. Can I please get a roaring round of applause for everyone involved in this tremendous accomplishment.
- I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the great many people who played critical roles in bringing about this day.
- So many people have been involved in this process and in helping other sites seeking VPP star designation. OSHA provided a Team Leader for the onsite audit of this GE facility and conducted auditor training for safety staff in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
- SGE support was vital in providing several prescreening audits of pilot companies, including the GE site. On screen are the SGEs that have been involved in getting VPP off the ground in Ireland, including Mike Guillory of the VPP-PA Board who conducted a very successful application workshop.
- We will present the results of the pilot at the US-EU conference next month in Orlando. We also are planning for a panel presentation at the World Safety Congress. I am very pleased that Davis Layne will be joining us on the panel.
- As VPP continues to grow and expand through its traditional programs, pilots and international ventures, it will be incumbent on each and every one of us to make sure that the integrity of the programs is maintained so that VPP continues to be a premier safety and health program.
- Toward this goal, the Department of Labor recently commissioned a study by the Gallup Organization to help quantify the value of VPP. Many people here completed the questionnaire. Thank you for taking the time to help us with the study. We are expecting the results soon and will share them with all of you.
- OSHA's mission echoes that of all VPP participants - to strive for continuous improvement in safety and health. To accomplish this mission, we must also strive to continuously improve our own processes.
- We are exploring opportunities to bring OSHA offices and other Department of Labor agencies in line with VPP. It is an ongoing process, but one that took a giant leap forward two weeks ago, when OSHA's Columbus Area Office was announced as the Department of Labor's first VPP site.
- They will receive their flag in a Columbus ceremony next month, but I would like to take this opportunity to officially congratulate everybody in the Columbus Office. Three of the OSHA staff who were key to this accomplishment are here today - Area Director Debbie Zubaty, Assistant Area Director Dave Wilson and Union Steward John Sahayda.
- Also here today are SGEs who helped make the achievement possible - Eileen Santini and Jodi Shapiro of Motorola, Ron Mauerman of Georgia Pacific, Ron Marchand of the U.S. Navy and Robert Sander and Lynn Howard of the U.S. Postal Service.
- Would all of you please stand so that we can thank you for a job well done. Thank you for helping to make this day a reality.
- This represents a defining moment for OSHA and an opportunity to inspire other DOL offices to follow suit. My hope is that by this time next year, the folks from the Columbus Office will be joined by more DOL colleagues as participants in VPP, including other OSHA offices.
- What a year this has been - for OSHA and for VPP. Not only has VPP expanded in the last year, but it also has become more recognizable. VPP flags are flying from coast to coast. And in Rhode Island, the NBC affiliate is so proud of their participation that they have placed the VPP logo on all of their satellite trucks, right next to the NBC peacock.
- This coming year promises to be even more exciting, as traditional programs expand, pilot programs mature and more countries discover the value of VPP. I hope coming here this week will inspire you to take the message of safety and health to every company that is fortunate enough to do business with you.
- In the meantime, I hope you enjoy tonight's Boot, Scoot and Boogie, where you can try out those country and western line dancing moves that you have been secretly practicing at home.
- Thank you... You've been a wonderful audience. It has been an honor to speak to you today. Have a wonderful conference.

Here's how it works:
DSL Service
Written by: Patrick Oborn - Aug 24, 2016
DSL Service offers residential customers high speed internet access for a very reasonable rate. Many people don't realize that DSL speeds of 1.5Mbps are the same as T1 speeds which top out at 1.5Mbps. What's the difference? To start with...the price. DSL costs $35 per month on average where a full T1 usually costs $400 or $500 if you're in a metro location and up to $1,000 per month if you're in a rural location. Why the high cost for T1 service without the extra speed? A T1 gives reliable service and is not shared with other subscribers or oversubscribed the way DSL is. Because it is not a shared service it carries a high cost.
DSL service offers a slightly less reliable service for a fraction of the cost. If you already have DSL Service you may have noticed that it's fast at some times and slower at other times. This is because it's oversubscribed. Oversubscription means that many people are pulling from the same resource. During the afternoon when people are at work there may be plenty of bandwidth to have, but in the evening when everyone is looking up the news, going through e-mail, or shopping online, access tends to be strained. Many people pulling from the same limited resource will find that there's only so much to go around. What does this mean to you? Slow speeds occasionally in peak traffic hours.
Most residential users' biggest concern is price and that's why DSL Service is so popular among them. A few slow periods are a small price to pay for a 90% discount if you're using the service at home.

Roll like royalty: Capital ideas for soaking up the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in London
In less than a week's time, the nation will mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in a series of countrywide events from street parties to river pageants.
But where better to celebrate the 60th anniversary of our Monarch's glorious reign than in Her Majesty's home city itself?
Flying the flag: The Diamond Jubilee weekend celebrations will crescendo at Buckingham Palace
Four days of revelry will include a Thames river pageant, a concert at Buckingham Palace, beacon lighting throughout the UK and a carriage procession through central London, culminating in that pinnacle of royal showmanship - the balcony appearance.
Whether you've been able to bag a spot at any of these or not, there's plenty of opportunity to get in the Jubilee spirit.
From hotels offering free Champagne if your name's Elizabeth to Thames boat trips following Her Majesty's pageant route, the following suggestions will help you get involved in this very British occasion...
Model monarch: The Queen's waxwork has been updated at a cost of £150,000
Meet the Queen (ish)
If you dream of meeting the Queen, and haven't quite worked out how, these options could be the next best thing. The National Portrait Gallery's exhibition, The Queen: Art and Image brings together some of the iconic images of Her Majesty throughout her reign, from portraits to photographs. The Queen takes more solid form at Madame Tussauds, which recently unveiled an updated waxwork – the 23rd to be made. Fellow royals include the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Details: Tickets for The Queen: Art and Image cost £6 for adults and £5 for concessions; www.npg.org.uk. Adult tickets at Madame Tussauds cost £30, while children's tickets are priced at £25.80 (£22.50 and £19.35 if booked online); visit www.madametussauds.com/London or call 0871 894 3000.
Lunch on a grand scale
Britons will be hosting street parties all around the UK over the bank holiday weekend, but probably not on the scale of that being held on June 3 in Greenwich. The Old Royal Naval College will play host to the Big Jubilee Lunch, an event where visitors can enjoy their feast on a table measuring two-thirds of a mile. There will be live music, market stalls, sustainability workshops and children's activities. You might even get a glimpse of our Sovereign as she sails past on the river pageant. Entry is free and booking is not required – particularly satisfying as tickets are all sold out for the Battersea Park Festival up river.
Details: The event takes place from 12 – 5pm at the Old Royal Naval College; visit www.ornc.org.
Hyde and seek
The appropriately regal Hyde Park will be the setting for a two-day extravaganza for families over the Jubilee weekend. There will be live music and attractions, from the Disney Zone to performances by representatives of the Commonwealth countries (and the odd Pearly King and Queen). Traditional British fare includes pies, roasts, fish and chips, jellied eels and cream teas, while top billing will be The Magic of Disney in Concert show, with additional entertainment from BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and War Horse.Sponsored by Sainsbury's.
Details: Tickets currently available cost £20 per person; visit www.sainsburys-live-well-for-less.co.uk.
London icon: The Ritz has been entertaining the rich and famous for over a century
Lunch like royalty
The Ritz is apparently the only hotel to have a Royal Warrant for Banqueting and Catering Services which means you could be enjoying Sovereign-standard fare at the hotel's Diamond Jubilee brunch on June 5. There will be a range of hot and cold dishes on offer, including Beef Wellington, and diners can watch the carriage procession live on a big screen. There's also a glass of Champagne included to toast Her Majesty's landmark achievement, a commemorative souvenir menu, and a limited edition gift from the Highgrove Collection.
Details: Lunch is priced from £175 per person and takes place between 10.30am and 4.30pm. For more information or to make a reservation, book online at www.theritzlondon.com, telephone 020 7300 2370 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
See the Duchess of Cambridge... in kisses
London attraction Ripley's Believe it or Not! is offering free entry to anyone marking their 60th birthday over the Diamond Jubilee weekend. Royal-themed exhibits will be on display – perhaps less suited to Her Majesty's refined sensibilities – including a portrait of Princess Diana created with lint from a tumble dryer and a 'kissing portrait' of the Duchess of Cambridge, made entirely – you guessed it - from the artist's lipstick kisses.
Details: Ripley's Believe It or Not! is located in Piccadilly Circus and is open seven days a week from 10am until midnight. To qualify for the promotion (which runs from June 2 – 5), proof of age must be shown on arrival; visit www.ripleyslondon.com.
River run: City Cruises is offering the chance to take the same route as Her Majesty for the pageant
Cruise the royal river
On Tuesday June 5, the Queen will hold court in the Royal Barge as the sparkling centrepiece of a flotilla of 1000 boats assembled from around the world. And while it might be too late to actually be part of the pageant, you can still soak up the atmosphere. From June 1, for 3 days, City Cruises are offering people the chance to cruise the 'avenue of sail' (the vessels lining the route) before the big event. City Cruises will be operating regular services on Friday June 1 and Saturday 2, departing every 30 minutes from Westminster Pier to Greenwich, stopping at Tower Pier - the route Her Majesty will take. The cruise firm will also be laying on two 'showboat nights' when guests will enjoy dinner and a panoramic tour of London, with regular 'Sundowners on the Thames' cruise.
Details: Prices for single sightseeing tickets at the pier start from £9.50 per adult with special rates for senior citizens, children under 16 and students with a valid ID. Tickets for the Showboat evening cruise costs £75 per person, while the two-hour sundowners cruise costs £20 per person and includes a glass of champagne and canapés. To book, visit www.citycruises.com or call 020 77400 400.
Elizabeth II (and third, fourth, fifth, sixth…)
The Z Hotel in Soho is offering a quirky deal – anyone with the name Elizabeth booking a one-night stay in a Queen room over the Jubilee weekend will enjoy a free bottle of Lanson Champagne. If you book a two-night stay, you'll also enjoy a royal tea for two.
Details: Room rates start from £85; visit www.thezhotels.com or call 020 3551 3700.
A king's ransom
You might have to sell the family silver but the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is offering a diamond-studded package to help celebrate in true majestic style. The four-night extravaganza includes prime spots on the HMS Belfast to view the river pageant and at Carlton House Terrace, overlooking The Mall, to watch the royal procession to and from Buckingham Palace. The price also includes a welcome dinner, a visit to Penshurst Place, Henry VIII's hunting lodge in Kent, and lunch at the home of Randolph and Catherine Churchill.
Details: Package costs from £6,500 per person, based on a minimum four-night stay between June 2 and 6 and includes breakfast and some dinners. Visit www.mandarinoriental.com/london or call 0207 201 3618 or email email@example.com.
