My husband and his ex have a good relationship and three children. They agreed to a support between the two of them. When she gave my husband sole custody of their oldest son the judge told my husband I am entering a ruling that you will never be able to collect support from the mother. The oldest boy was two months old when this happened.
My husband and the mother of his three children had only one child at this time, they got together and made more children two girls followed. A total of three children. They started having kids young when they were in high school. As they grew up they knew they were not right together. They remain friends and help out with the kids.
My husband had a second son by a different woman. This woman slept with his brother and said it did not count as this brother was not biological and was only adopted from the foster care system. My husband could not deal with sitting at the table on X-mas or other family events when his brother and then wife present. He soon divorced her challenging her to stop drinking and doing drugs. She refused and he left due to her screaming and threatening to toss her self down the basment stairs.
My husband and I eventually married, he and his ex seperated in 2001 but could not afford the divorce till 2004. The court ordered child support and my husband thought he was to give it to her.
The FOC said any money he gives her is a gift. So FOC started taking money out of his check. In the mean time she got an exparte ppo on him. While this was on him he had no idea, and she kept coming to his job, and calling his job, begging him to come over, and come back. She even wrote letters saying she missed him, and he is the best thing ever, and their anniversary is coming up can he please come over, if he will not coome over can he please just call once she cannot understand how a man can just not contact her and cut her off like this.
Yet in the ppo she says he is stalking breaking in her home and she is scared for her safety. She called him to the house saying it was urgent to do with the kid when he arrived she was naked in the window with some other man from her job. The same man had been oer plenty of times in the past when they were married, and my he would come in from work to find them 'hanging out'
The FOC knows these things as they are all in letters and notes she has wrote we saved them all. She has come to my house high and keyed my car, broke in and sent drug dealers to the house to do things while her son was asleep in the car. The worse was his ex and her friend put on full disguise, wigs make up and even switched out cars, to stalk me on fathers day when they had my husband off with the kids. The ex's friend and the ex were inturupted with what ever they had planned for me when the friends 5 yr old was hit by a car and killed. If she had been home helping watch her son he may still be alive but instead she chose to leave him and help her friend stalk me.
The ex has left the son out at age 7 at 10:10 on a school night playing games with my husband. A police officer had to threaten her to get her to make any sense. We had the child the whole summer not one ounce of help from her.
She gets the child support up every 36 months and the FOC knows she dose drugs she even admitted it to referee Ross.
This child comes to our house and fills his pockets with food to take with him. The FOC refuses to count the first three children even with my husband having sole custody of one. The FOC said they do not recognize children that do not have a FOC order! I thought FOC was to help deal with dead beat dads? A dad who pays is not dead beat, and when dose a court get to butt in to the American right to raise your children in the way the parents of the child see fit? My husband has never abused his children in any form and dose not need the FOC causing trouble between him and the first childrens mother.
The second sons mom dose not even get her money on time from FOC.
The first mom dose not want to deal with FOC due to the abusive way they treated her parents growing up.
How can the FOC force a father who has worked out parenting in an agreement with the other parent to bring the other children and turn them into cases? The first mom is not on aid and the children are fine, never miss a meal.
I called the IRS and they advised me that I tell my husband to go to his job and fix his taxes they will help average out the taxes so no money is owed or maybe 100.00 is owed this will stop FOC from takiing his taxes every year as there will be none to take. He will see extra money on his check as that is where tax returns come from extra money taken from a pay check.
I am so angry my husband and I have belonged to Detroit Parent Network and we do good work in the community, his son is very attached to me he enjoys going to the YouthVille center where DPN is located. We go on vacation toether and do lots of positive things. The mother gets mad when ever and tries to stop him from all contact. She is very mean to the child, and tells him if he keeps saying he wants to live with his dad foster care will take him away and he will never see his family again. Once we convinced him this was a lie and he was safe, she told him she would hate him.
This poor kid never did anything like Carol Rhodes says Friend of Court Enemy of the Family, all they care about is the money they make off the sale of these kids to whatever parent they can get the most money out of. When they collect the money they take lots of time geting it to the parent.
In this case the courts know the mom is on drugs and alchol so my husband is actually paying 251.00 out of every pay check he makes 14.00 an hour and has 3 children previous. he now brings home about 1,000.00 a month and we were forced onto welfare, we now get 300.00 in food stamps. This is stupid I do not want to be on food stamps. I want to be able to support ourselves and not need this aid.
With the money this way why is the FOC (Forgets our children) alowed to abuse the children and who can regulate them into workiing in the best interest of the children?
I have started a group to join together people who want to work against he FOC and for fathers who want to be allowed to be dads not just a child support check.
How come when the mom is out of work there is tons of programs to help her and support her till she gets on her feet but a dad is called names like dead beat? My husband has never missed a payment even with them taking more then the judge ordered, they always say he is in arears!

The Mississippi Senate Finance Committee has voted to set the cigarette tax at 49 cents a pack, matching the average of the surrounding states.
Mississippi's current tax is 18 cents a pack. The House voted this month to increase it to $1.00 a pack.
The committee vote Wednesday is just a step toward getting a bill to the governor's desk.
Some local smokers say they are not pleased with the proposed increase, but don't see it as a hindrance to buying cigarettes.
"If you smoke, you going to smoke anyway," said Marcus Jones, a smoker in Meridian. "Rather than put 50 cents on it or another $1, you still going to get some cigarettes anyway, because when you need to have a cigarette you're going to get it. "
The full Senate could debate the bill in the next few days, and Finance Committee chairman Dean Kirby said he believes it will pass there. He said he expects the House and Senate to negotiate a final amount.
The Senate proposes using new cigarette tax revenue to head off an increase in car tag prices before July 1.

Park Plaza Riverbank London, SE1 7TJ
The awards are supported by Transport for London, London Councils and London Travel Watch and recognise excellence in transport and reward innovation and progress for transport initiatives which are really working in London.
The London Transport Awards 2017 will be held at the Lancaster London on 2nd March 2017.
Entries for the awards will be accepted up until 14 October 2016
Mike Brown
Transport Commissioner
Transport for London
"I am delighted to support these awards, which showcase the work of transport authorities, operators, suppliers and contractors, and all their people in ensuring that London remains a world leading city.
The Capital's population is at record levels - 8.6 million today, which will become 10 million by 2030: the definition of a mega city.
In just four years, the number of passengers we serve has increased by nearly half a billion a year. Our population is growing at the rate of two full Tube trains a week or two full buses a day.
In response, significant investment is being made to modernise the transport network. The Victoria line is now one of the most frequent metro services in the world, we have new air-conditioned trains on four lines, Crossrail 1 is on time and on budget. In addition, we are spending £4bn on improving our roads.
Much has been done but there is still more to do. We very much welcome the Chancellor's commitment for £10bn of capital investment in transport. The majority of the cost of Crossrail 2 will be borne by London but we still need some contribution from Central Government if it is going to be ready to get the South East to work in 2030, free up the bottleneck at Waterloo and support 200,000 new jobs and the same number of new homes. This, and sustained funding for our day-to-day operations, are vital if the city is to continue to thrive."

This looked like a lifesaver (our HTML expert was muttering dark curses about WP's markup behavior) so we installed it. Unfortunately, WP promptly began not displaying line breaks, due to the disabling of paragraph tags.
Everything went back to normal when we deactivated the plugin, of course, but we won't be able to use it until you add that feature in, as you mentioned would be possible in future releases (in the FAQ).
Any chance of that happening any time soon?

How do I use a different currency not in the 21 currencies provided?
How do I use a different currency not in the 21 currencies provided?
You ask me to add it :-)
Thanks for the response, though I was expecting for a more immediate solution (some code snippet) rather than waiting for a new release.
The currency I need included is GHS for Ghanaian Cedi.
But there are 170 (or so) ISO currencies, plus a few non-ISO but widely used currencies out there. So if you're going to work on this, why not solve the problem once and for all, rather than adding one currency at a time upon request?
Maybe the humble "OTHER" text field for the user to enter any string as currency symbol and name would do the trick. Of course this will involve more work than simply adding one more currency, but will also save you time and your users frustration down the road.
Thanks again for your response and the offer to add my currency!
I started out with adding just the currencies accepted by paypal.
Adding more is not a problem, but since you didn't specify in your original request which currency you were talking about, I couldn't give you a code snippet.
I'll add yours this evening, together with all ISO currencies I can find.
Edit: the list of all currencies: http://www.xe.com/iso4217.php#section2
I added the possibility to edit the currency list being shown, see here:
The readme.txt contains an example to add GHS to the list (and in the same way you can remove others from the list).

Hat for a 1 year old boy
I'm finally ready to advance to something a bit more complicated. I'm pretty sick of washcloths now! ;)
Any suggestions for hat patterns for a 1 year old? So many seem geared towards small babies or full fledged toddlers!
I'm ready to tackle circular needles or double pointed needles, but am still relatively new at the knitting thing . . so nothing too complex please!!
It sorta depends on what yarn you want to use, but here's a basic hat in various sizes.
I made this hat, it fits my son who is 22m. I made it in boy colors of course and it is soooo cute.
It's a fairly basic pattern with a tiny bit of interest. Don't panic about I-cord or kitchener stitch. I didn't know how to do them before this project but I learned how to do them from the videos on this site and the hat came out just fine.
many seem geared towards small babies or full fledged toddlers!

Affordable Housing Program
For close to 20 years MOPC has administered a mediation program for the Housing Appeals Committee of the MA Dept of Housing and Community Development to resolve affordable housing development disputes arising under the state's comprehensive permit law (G.L. Ch. 40B). The program is uniquely designed as a multi-party forum for developers, municipal officials, and interested citizens to exchange information and create new options for the settlement of disputes. Mediation often results in creative solutions allowing developments to proceed with important modifications, resulting in more affordable housing for the state and obviating the need for a hearing.
MOPC attends the initial attorneys' meeting with the hearing officer in order to present the mediation option to the parties and explain how the process works. The program has a roster of skilled mediators who have backgrounds in environmental law, land use and construction, municipal law and public policy issues and extensive professional experience working with municipalities and developers in complex multiparty disputes.
The mediation process allows for the participation of other interested parties, such as abutters, who would not have standing to participate in HAC proceedings but provide invaluable support in the community necessary to de-escalate the conflict and prevent future problems or litigation. Mediation's advantages in these emotionally-charged conflicts are that the parties mutually resolve their issues in durable agreements generally obtained in less time and at lower cost than a full appeal hearing. The success of this program is its ability to bring parties together with skilled mediators, in a neutral forum, to find innovative answers that might not come out in a formal hearing process.
Mediation through this program is free of charge to the parties for the first eight hours. Thereafter the parties share fees for the mediator's time at the rate of $200 per hour for cases with two or three parties and $300 per hour for cases with four or more parties. This program also handles mediation referrals of land use disputes at the municipal level and in the Land and Superior Courts.
Examples of MOPC's Work:
Chestnut Hill, Newton - mediated agreement among developer, city and abutters regarding affordable housing condominium development on highly-traveled Route 9
Wompanoag Tribal Housing Authority, Gay Head – agreement regarding issuance of comprehensive permit enabled through mediated assistance in dealing with jurisdictional issues apart from permitting issues

Yeah Puppy, that's what I'm screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IOC Big Dollar Days will soon be here!!!!
30tcf, that's the 1st time I've heard that amount. With over 40 potential areas mostly untouched, it won't require many to get to 30tcf from the 16tcf or so that we already have. 30 trillion may be very conservative.

Brewers in a better place than their 2013 results suggest
Not to recount the disappointment that was the 2013 season, but the injuries and the ineffective starting pitching and the Ryan Braun episode that culminated in 74-88 easily made it one of the most frustrating in franchise history.
Still, I don't think general manager Doug Melvin is being a total ticket salesman when he says the Milwaukee Brewers aren't that far from being competitive again.
Given the handicaps of being without Aramis Ramirez, Corey Hart and Braun for parts or all of the season and a starting pitching staff that was a complete liability until it was too late, it was fairly notable that manager Ron Roenicke lashed together something that came within 10 games of .500.
So there's your baseline for 2014, a team that didn't quit when motivation was removed from the picture by late May.
And Melvin isn't at the winter meetings digging through the cutout bins for everyday starters. Except at first base, where bringing back Hart seems like the smart move, the Brewers are set with players ranging from developing youngsters of promise to skilled veterans.
By the numbers, Jonathan Lucroy, Hart, Scooter Gennett, Ramirez, Jean Segura, Khris Davis, Carlos Gomez and Braun might not scare St. Louis, but the Cardinals would know that the '14 Brewers everyday players, if healthy, could not be discounted as they were last year. However Roenicke decides to arrange them, that is not a bad lineup.
It took the Norichika Aoki trade to make the pieces fit. I wasn't crazy about Melvin giving up a value player/leadoff hitter like Aoki, but that was the price of getting the hard-hitting Davis into the lineup, moving Braun to right field to accommodate Davis' arm and acquiring a left-handed pitcher. If Aoki hadn't been moved, it was clear he was going to the bench to make room for Davis.
It's too soon to tell if Will Smith will help the Brewers either as a No. 5 starter or in the bullpen, but a dearth of lefties really made it tough on Roenicke's decision-making last season. Nothing is more important than pitching, even if the Brewers have to improvise at leadoff after Aoki finally made the spot stable last season.
There are candidates to fill it, including Gennett, who surpassed any reasonable expectation as a hitter last season after he became the full-time second baseman with Rickie Weeks' season-ending injury. Up the middle, offensively and defensively, the Brewers should be exceptionally strong with Gennett, all-stars Segura and Gomez, and a catcher in Lucroy who holds things together as well as any field leader in the league.
Corner play depends upon Ramirez staying healthy, Davis being consistent, Braun returning from the PED suspension with acceptable numbers and Hart delivering on two surgically repaired knees in the event of his return. Offensively and defensively, anything Hart could give the Brewers would be infinitely better than the output from the parade of misfits the team tried at first base last season.
Of course, none of the above matters much unless starting pitching is able to get to the sixth inning with the game still in the balance. That means Yovani Gallardo, Kyle Lohse or Wily Peralta having a career year and no one falling prey to the confounding hamstring problems that plagued nearly the entire staff. That means Smith and some of the young pitchers of marginal promise showing up.
And it means another season of commendable bullpen support, without Jim Henderson becoming the next Brewers closer to lose it in-season.
Even in the knowledge that a rash of injuries could blow the whole thing up again, the feeling around the hot stove is serene at the moment. Two months before spring training, that's all any nervous Brewers fan could ask for.

Brazilian rhythms and melodies meet jazz harmony and improvisation in Dani & Debora Gurgel Quartet. An inseparable union between instrumental music and carefully written words, putting Dani's voice as a scatting woodwind instrument into a jazz ambient of improvisation, stitched along the grooves of Brazilian popular music.
This family style quartet has its origins in the mother-daughter musical relationship of Debora and Dani. They record live in studio – the 4 of them together, interacting and having fun. This recording energy is featured in all of their albums, presenting the spirit of a live performance in each track, as if they were enjoying an afternoon in their living room. Their live shows are even more dynamic and energetic, filled with the delight of this united quartet that combines their long-established musical intimacy with the serendipity of constant improvisation and interaction amongst themselves and with the audience, rendering always fresh and original concerts.

"While her country's media sleeps on what they consider the blossom of a new generation, Japanese audiences welcome her as a star."
Ryosuke Itoh, Taiyo Records (Japan, 2013)
"Listen to this album (UM) as loud as you can. Certainly the pleasure of the live/one shot recording will spread throughout the room."
Takashi Horiuchi, DaCapo Magazine (Japan, 2013)
"Brazilian rhythms and MPB incorporated with jazz harmony and improvisation in a dynamic result."
Édouard Launet, Libération (Paris, 2009)
"Dani Gurgel represents a new musical generation, both traditional and unexpected."
Mauro Apicella, La Nación (Buenos Aires, 2011)
"Dani's scatting sounds Brazilian; her intervals, attacks and phrasing articulations sound like jazz."
Julio Maria, O Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo, 2014)
"Debora's piano is highly refined. She thinks as a jazz musician, but won't hide her Brazilian accent."

Skip to comments.Who are today's Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein?
Posted on 02/09/2013 4:41:00 PM PST by narses
click here to read article
I read a great book, recently written by old Sci-Fi great Frederick Pohl, titled "All the Lives He Led." It was written in 2011. I was surprised Pohl was still alive.
BTW, Amazon reviewers really panned the book, but what do they know?
Well, since gearheads/racers 'embelish' things alot of what they 'did back then', I's say half that book probably is PURE fiction ;)
I see to remember a BattleTech game or something some kids in school were doing.. I didn't know that was part of something bigger. That was a long long time ago too
but not your half?
The author doesn't really define what he's looking for, does he?
No, my half was probably the WORST offenders!!! ;)
Yup, that was probably Battletech. Now that I think about it though, the GAMES may have spawned the books, not the other way around.
Either way, the books are great. They are in groups/arcs dealing with different areas/clans/aspects etc. You can read a group 'stand alone' with minimal overall knowledge of the series and be OK, but together, it makes Star Wars look like a Saturday morning Cartoon.
from my memory it seemed they were looking at spec's of the Mech warriors or something
I wonder if FR would let us do a round-robin fiction thread about CW2 or just a space opera?
Yup. You built your mech, joined a clan/merc group and went into battle.
Dungeons and Dragons with Robot/powered armor.
All you ever needed to know ;)
Gene Wolfe. Conservative, Christian (Catholic). Fairly critically acclaimed, even by a lot of 'literary elite' types. Uses unreliable narrators to great effect, in my opinion.
John C. Wright. Also conservative and Christian (Catholic again). Younger than Wolfe, but the things I have read are much more in the golden age sci-fi realm than Wolfe. He wrote a continuation of Van Vogt's the World of Null-A. He groups Van Vogt with Heinlein and Asimov as the 'classic three of golden age sci-fi' over Clarke or Bradbury because of the Astounding/Campbell connection apart from popularity.
Here's his essay about the 'classic three', I thought it was interesting.
His blog is also political with a heavy conservative/Christian bent, it's amazing Tor publishes him, he railes against the homosexual agenda which is basically a hate crime to a lot of people. I take it he is pretty reviled amongst a lot of sci-fi authors and fans nowadays who seem to have a high % of liberal or various flavours of libertarian leanings.
He probably should be looked back on like Gene Wolfe will be, but he is probably too politically incorrect today.
Freegards, thanks for all the pings on FR
So that is what they doing. Today they are probably business owners. lol
These threads don't usually die so fast..... lots of Heinlein fans here
The guy was a hack...couldn't write a dog food commercial.... ;)
God how did I forget this guy?
Leo Frankowski. His Conrad Starguard books were fantastic...And he was 'one of us'.
"According to the author, most of his fans consist of "males with military and technical backgrounds," while he likewise claimed his detractors consist of "feminists, liberals, and homosexuals."[3] "
oh my...
For Heinlan, while I really liked "Stranger in a Strange Land" I liked "Starship Troopers" better.
These are a must read.
Cripplecreek's Turtledove reference made me think of it. Haven t read them in years. Wish I still had them. I'd be doing it now ;)
If it weren't the weekend this thread would be busier I bet.
I think I agree with your preference, btw.
I think I might write something tonight, probably pure crap though
You sound like you enjoy fantasy. See what you think about Markus Heitz's stuff. And check out George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones series if you haven't already.
Heinlein has no peers. He's the master.
It always surprises me that more Freepers aren't published authors. Most of the ideas and actual dialog that takes place here is worlds above much of what gets published.
Then again, there's a difference between laying out good arguments and entertaining with a good story. But many freepers have half the battle already covered.
Hell, many of us write several pages a day in posts alone ;)
and much of it is fiction too. lol
Indeed! ;)
Yes, on a week day this would have over 200 responses by now.
That's so true! And the stuff they call "science-fiction" these days usually leaves the science out. I'm very "old school," and became addicted to the "hard" nuts-and-bolts science-fiction nurtured by famed "Analog" (formerly "Astounding Science Fiction") editor John W. Campbell Jr.
Campbell published some of the finest SF stories ever written, like Tom Godwin's "The Cold Equations." He discovered and mentored Asimov, Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon and many other famed Golden Age writers. He also created a style of SF based on actual science often described as "speculative but plausible."
The most famous of those "hard science" yarns was "Deadline" by Cleve Cartmill. It was published in 1944, a year before the the first atomic bomb exploded. The story described all the basic steps of making a fission bomb and it set the FBI into a frenzy. They wanted to recall all the magazine's news stand copies but Campbell was able to convince them that doing so would be a big tip-off to the Axis that we were involved in nuclear research. The agency backed off.
As far as I'm concerned reality has mostly caught up with and in some cases surpassed the imaginative scope of that type of science fiction. The SF I've read over the past few years is mostly devoted to the "soft" sciences like sociology -- ok for those who like it but not me. I long for the days of the likes of Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore, C.M. Kornbluth, Hal Clement, Murray Leinster, Poul Anderson, Alfred Bester, James Blish, Fredric Brown, L. Sprague de Camp, Lester del Rey, Fritz Leiber, Chad Oliver, Frederik Pohl, Eric Frank Russell, Clifford D. Simak, E.E. "Doc" Smith, Theodore Sturgeon, William Tenn, A. E. van Vogt, Jack Vance and many of the other "greats."
Orson Scott Card; David Drake; John Ringo;
Tom Kratman; Fred Saberhagen; Larry Niven; Jerry Pournelle;
I'm a big fan of Stephen Lawhead and (the deceased) Robert Jordan whose final Wheel of Time book just hit the shelves.
Lawhead's Byzantium and his Patrick are, in my humble opinion, among the best books written in the last 3 decades with Byzantium the greater of the two.
Robert Jordan's world is captivating.
I don't need every story to describe how everything works, unless its something pretty different from the rest of them. No need to reinvent the wheel. :p
I have not read either Lawhead or Jordan (although I listened to a CD version of the first volume of Wheel of Time series and thought it was pretty good). I'll have to check them out.
Thanks. Bookmark
For those of you who are gamers, there was a series originating on the Playstation that I wish I was rich enough to buy the story rights for.
It was called Xanogears/Xenosaga.
Written in Japan, it was an epic story spanning 10000 years and including every bit of hard sci fi/space opers you can imagine. A lot of the background materials are out there on the net and are a story in themselves.
You had everything you can imagine built around a core of political/religious intrigue that the word 'epic' does no justice to whatsoever.
What was supposed to be a six game series ended at 4 (three Xenosaga, which was a re imagining of Xenogears) and the original....
Because gamers bitched it was too much like reading a book. Sales tanked and they pulled the plug. Had they marketed it to adult/older gamers, rather than teens, the outcome would likely been different.
How many kids can grasp Nietzsche wrapped in a background of Catholic lore?
Hee... hee...
When I was a kid, this was my first book.
Now I remember... Doug wrote a book too I think!
In my opinion Jack Vance beats pretty much any combo of 'big three.' He's still kicking too, he's 96. Last novel was 2004.
Here's a fairly recent article:
these guys are probably getting kicked out of elementary schools all across America for having a dangerous imagination.
I think David Brin should be way up on the list - tied with OSC. The "Uplift Wars" series was marvelous. It had a complete eco-system and multiple alien societies completely described.
Soon, 'Firemen' will cleanse all schools/homes of such material.
Ray had it right. He was just a little early.
I really dug the Brin I have read. The 'uplift scenario' is a really great idea. John C Wright and Brin are fans of each other's writing to my understanding, but they have locked horns on the interwebz over politics and philosophy.
Brin is much harder than Wolfe or Vance, also harder than Wright but not by as much. Did you catch him doing commentary for science channels's Masters of Sci-fi?
Woo, new authors for reading list thread.
I love David Weber, but I will admit that I am tired of the Harrington series, but Apocolypse Troll and the Excaliber Alternative are two of my favorites.
Ryk E. Spoor and his Grand Central Arena is a wild read, too.
I am not sure if I like Kristine Rusch's Wreck Divers series yet, I've read two of them, and I just don't know yet. :)
For a good old fashion space opera series, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller have their Liadan Universe set. That will keep you up until 5am reading. LOL
I just bought A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson, but I haven't started that one. The blurb and cover look interesting though.
Have you read any Dan Simmons? The first Hyperion book is basically the Cantebury Tales in space. He's a huge Jack Vance fan as well, and contributed to the recent tribute anthology to Vance set in his "Dying Earth" setting, 'Tales of the Dying Earth.'
Back in the day he wrote a time travel story warning of radical islam that made the rounds on FR (871 posts), it is pretty tremendous and can be read here:
As a warning about Islam, you can still download 'Caliphate' for free at Baen...
Give it time and we'll all be living in a Ferhenheigt world and my collection of books will be starting the bonfire! Ray Bradbury was prophetic in his writing. Talk about a classic!
I've got to admit to loving Spider Robinson, his books are always littered with puns and references to other writers. I would love to find a Callahan's type bar here in Houston. Yah, I know, he's a little out there, but could you just imagine he conversations? :)
Beat ya to it ;)
Also Poul Anderson "The Time Patrol" is a good, in the 'dumb fun' sense.
Another one you will love and one of my all time faves is "Replay" by Ken Grimwood. Time travel with a Goundhog day twist.
Supposed to be a movie but keeps getting postponed. I hope they leave it alone because they will kill it.

Tonight show skit succeeds with real-life couple
When Jay Leno ventures out of the studio to speak with real people the results are often, well, lame.
Not so for a recent "Tonight Show" segment called "Pumpcast News." The fictional news anchor at the pump (yeah, when did that start?) asks an unsuspecting couple to sing for him. But what follows is an introduction to the world's happiest made-for-primetime couple. »Read Full Article
Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'
If the cheerful and idealistic Gloria Stivic had stayed with us during the decades since "All in the Family," what would the intervening years have made of her?
Having won two Emmys playing Meathead's wife, Sally Struthers is back with the answer: The increasingly confident Gloria would have become matchmaker Dolly Levi, rendered sharper and more pragmatic by life's knocks but still every bit as warm and loving, and even more of a stitch. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Symphony makes most of cathedral setting in concert
The phrase "working the room" clearly means different things to people.

Skaggs, Hornsby pair piano with frenetic fiddlin' around
From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

I would like to know if there is an easy way to add a CAPTCHA to teh Grunion Contact Form. I realize that all submissions run through Akismet, but I have a client that needs a CAPTCHA for Grunion.
Thanks in advance!
I would like to know if there is an easy way to add a CAPTCHA to teh Grunion Contact Form. I realize that all submissions run through Akismet, but I have a client that needs a CAPTCHA for Grunion.
Thanks in advance!
Agreed. I'm subscribed. Hoping to get an update.
Hello!, i modified the Plugin, to use REcaptcha (the google captha) whit this, here is the code:
Instructions to install it:
- Edit the plugin, in the plugins manager, and replace the code.
- In the code, line 15 and 16 remplaze the public and private recaptcha key.
- Create a folder called "includes" in the root of your installation of WordPress (this folder will be together with the wp_admin, wp_content...)
- In this new folder, add a file called index.php (and leave it empty), and you need to add the ReCaptcha library, download it from http://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/ and put the file recaptchalib.php in the "includes" folder.
- Now test your Grunion Contact Form.
if you get some problem or anything, you just tell me,
Cheers!!! :D
What does remplaze mean?
sorry, remplaze => replace
did you get the script working?
To take a look what i did, here is a diff:
Also i added an autoresponse in the line 562, you can avoid that.
Hi marcoloco, I would like to take a look at that diff file, with the differences from your edit to the original file. Because I have made some changes myself, mainly translating things, so I wouldnt want to run over that pasting your entire code to the file.
I figured it out, it was pretty easy to detect the differences, however, i made all the changes and followed the steps you gave here, but then no captcha shows up on my contact form. and when i try to send a message, it returns the captcha verification error and doenst send.
what am i missing?
my bad! i just missed one line, which happens to be the one that includes the captcha. haha. thanks a lot for the code, it works great and helped me a lot!
Gracias, me fue de mucha utilidad!
Thanks marcoloco, it works perfectly for me. Great.
If you have problems with comments being caught after starting to use reCaptcha and you also use Akismet please first de-activate reCaptcha and see what happens. Chances are you will find that the problem goes away.

By once more defying their critics and upsetting the odds in winning the Grand Final from fifth place, the Leeds players also delivered the perfect response to the doubts expressed by the club's chief executive Gary Hetherington.
Hetherington issued a stark warning to the Rhinos' senior players in June after a humiliating 50-8 home defeat by Wigan left them outside the play-off places and with little prospect of successfully defending their Super League crown.
"This team has had a remarkable run of success but, inevitably players don't last forever, teams don't last forever," Hetherington said in the Rhinos' victorious dressing room at Old Trafford. "I asked the question if this team had run its course and, of course, the answer to that would only come at the end of the season. I think we've got the answer now."
He stuck up for coach Brian McDermott but made headlines by publicly questioning the future of the entire senior squad and hinting at a major overhaul.
Hetherington says the players provided the answers themselves with Saturday's 26-18 victory over Warrington, their fifth Grand-Final success in the last six years and a sixth Super League title in all, enabling them to eclipse St Helens as the most successful team of the summer era.
He added: "This team is evolving and, with the addition of players like Zak Hardaker, Kallum Watkins and Stevie Ward, it's been a fairly seamless transition.
"We've lost major players like Keith Senior, Ali Lauititi and Brent Webb over the course of the last year or so but other players have come in and we are achieving just as much success. It's a constant challenge to continually evolve the team and we are striving to do that."
Leeds are looking to pull off a major signing for 2013 in a bid to keep themselves in the running for trophies and are thought to have lined up a move for Salford's Australian centre Joel Moon.
One man hoping to stay at Headingley and get the chance to play in the 2013 World Club Challenge against Australian champions Melbourne Storm is hooker Shaun Lunt, whose loan spell from Huddersfield ended on Saturday.
The former Workington player still has three years left to run on his contract with the Giants and is expected to discover this week whether or not they intend to sell him or recall him.

Okemo to install heated six-pack bubble chairStaff Report | July 21,2014PROVIDED IMAGEs
Okemo Mountain Resort is installing a new, high-speed, six-pack bubble chairlift with heated seats.LUDLOW — Skiers and snowboarders visiting Okemo Mountain Resort this winter will be viewing the snowy landscape through the bright orange tint of a retractable, transparent dome when they ride in the comfort of a new, high-speed, six-pack bubble chairlift with heated seats — the first of its kind in North America.
The new detachable lift, with chairs that seat six people, will be outfitted with heated seating pads and retractable acrylic domes to protect passengers from wind and weather. The new lift, built by Leitner-Poma, will replace Okemo's Northstar Express lift and is scheduled to begin operation in December.
"There is excitement in the air on the mountain and a buzz around town and among our loyal Okemo skiers, as our Mountain Operation crew dives into the installation of this state-of-the-art lift," said Diane Mueller, executive vice president and co-owner of Okemo Mountain Resort. "Over the years Okemo has had many 'firsts,' beginning with construction of Vermont's largest snowmaking pond. This lift adds another 'first' to the list."
The length of the new lift will be 6,430 feet with a vertical rise of 1,670 feet. The new six-pack bubble chair will carry 113 chairs at a speed of 1,000 feet per minute and deliver skiers and riders to the summit of Okemo Mountain in 6.4 minutes. The cost of the lift, including installation, is $6.9 million.
Plans include the construction of a heated barn at the base of the new lift. Six-pack chairs will be removed from the cable at the end of each day and stored in the barn overnight; preventing a need for snow removal after an overnight snowstorm. In the event of unfavorable nighttime weather, it will also allow the lift cable to be de-iced more efficiently, minimizing lift-opening delays and potential inconvenience to skiing and riding guests.MORE IN This Just InPolice said a Rutland man knocked out another mans teeth.

Volume 131, Issue 24, 28 December 2009
In this paper we use density functional theory corrected for on-site Coulomb interactions to study the adsorption of CO at La-doped ceria (111) and (110) surfaces.Doping of ceria with La is known to enhance oxidation of CO to and this study investigates the atomic level details of this reaction. With doping, an defect state with an oxygen hole is formed at both surfaces. The formation energy of an oxygen vacancy is reduced and vacancy formation results in the appearance of , instead of hole compensation. On the dopedsurfaces weak and strong adsorption of CO is found. In the former, the molecule remains intact. In the latter, the final adsorption species depends strongly on the surface and whether oxygen vacancies are present or not. On (111) a -like species forms, while on the (110) surface, mono- or bidentate carbonates are present. La-doping of ceria surfaces shows enhanced reactivity over the undoped surfaces and we discuss the origin of the enhanced reactivity and the nature of the surface species upon CO adsorption.
Correlation energy of two electrons in the high-density limit131(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3275519View Description Hide Description
We consider the high-density-limit correlation energy in dimensions for the ground states of three two-electron systems: helium (in which the electrons move in a Coulombic field), spherium (in which they move on the surface of a sphere), and hookium (in which they move in a quadratic potential). We find that the values are strikingly similar, depending strongly on but only weakly on the external potential. We conjecture that for large , the limiting correlation energy in any confining external potential, where .
Europium dimer: van der Waals molecule with extremely weak antiferromagnetic spin coupling131(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3282332View Description Hide Description
High-level ab initio calculations reveal that the dimer is a van der Waals molecule with extremely weak antiferromagnetic spin coupling. The Heisenberg spin-exchange model, validated by the multireference configuration interaction method, is used to construct the full set of model interaction potentials for the states with the total spin ranging from 0 to 7 at the coupled cluster level of theory. This model establishes the singlet state as the ground one of the dimer with the binding energy of , the vibrational frequency of and the effective spin-coupling constant estimated approximately .
Large enhancement of the vibration-rotation coupling of the and states of silane in helium droplets131(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3282446View Description Hide Description
Silane molecules have been embedded in heliumdroplets and studied via infrared laser depletion spectroscopy in the range of . We found that the R1 and Q2 lines of the band have satellites shifted by about towards low frequency and having similar intensity to the main lines. We assigned this perturbation in the spectrum to the coupling of the levels in and close lying vibration states. The strength of the coupling is a factor of about 50 larger in He droplets than in free molecules and have the same selection rules implied by the tetrahedral symmetry of molecules. The perturbation, which cannot be explained within the framework of a Hamiltonian of free molecules, is evidence of strong coupling of the molecule with some He excitations in the molecular vicinity.
Thermally driven molecular linear motors: A molecular dynamics study131(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3281642View Description Hide Description
We conduct molecular dynamics simulations of a molecular linear motor consisting of coaxial carbon nanotubes with a long outer carbon nanotube confining and guiding the motion of an inner short, capsulelike nanotube. The simulations indicate that the motion of the capsule can be controlled by thermophoretic forces induced by thermal gradients. The simulations find large terminal velocities of 100–400 nm/ns for imposed thermal gradients in the range of 1–3 K/nm. Moreover, the results indicate that the thermophoretic force is velocity dependent and its magnitude decreases for increasing velocity.
Merging bond-order potentials with charge equilibration131(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3271798View Description Hide Description
A method is presented for extending any bond-order potential (BOP) to include charge transfer between atoms through a modification of the split-charge equilibration (SQE) formalism. Variable limits on the maximum allowed charge transfer between atomic pairs are defined by mapping bond order to an amount of shared charge in each bond.Charge transfer is interpreted as an asymmetry in how the shared charge is distributed between the atoms of the bond.Charge equilibration (QE) assesses the asymmetry of the shared charge, while the BOP converts this asymmetry to the actual amount of charge transferred. When applied to large molecules, this BOP/SQE method does not exhibit the unrealistic growth of charges that is often associated with QE models.

Given what has already been achieved under the 2012 European Cloud Strategy, the European Cloud Initiative will focus on:
a European Open Science Cloud: a trusted, open environment for storing, sharing and re-using scientific data and results, and
a European Data Infrastructure: a world-class digital infrastructure to securely access, move, share and process data in Europe.
The Initiative will be complemented by further actions under the Digial Single Market (DSM) to promote the development and uptake of cloud services, focusing on certification, switching of cloud service providers and security. These actions incorporate input from the European Cloud Partnership (ECP) set up under the 2012 Cloud Strategy and the Cloud Select Industry Group (C-SIG).
Other initiatives will follow to strengthen the digital economy, such as:
a free flow of data initiative, to remove legal and technical barriers to the free flow of data and data services in the EU - including cloud - and
an initiative on the digitisation of industry that seeks to develop an EU Open Science Cloud and also includes cloud take-up actions, in particular for SMEs. The European Commission identifies the cloud computing standards as one of the five priority areas under the communication on standards.
The public consultation on the regulatory environment for platforms, online intermediaries, data and cloud computing and the collaborative economy closed on 6 January 2016. A first summary of the input is now available. The Commission is currently analysing the responses received.
An Inception Impact Assessment on the Free Flow of Data initiative was discussed at an Inter-service Steering Group (ISG) meeting on 15 January 2016 and will be published in due course.
Cloud computing is developing fast. Recent estimates indicate that these developments could lead to the growth of the European cloud market from €9.5bn in 2013 to €44.8bn by 2020, i.e. almost five times the market size in 2013.
The latest Eurostat data available (end of 2014) shows the current state of play in the European Union regarding the use of cloud computing by enterprises. The main findings are summarised below:
The development of the cloud computing market and the efficient delivery of cloud services particularly depend on the ability to build economies of scale. The establishment of a Digital Single Market will unlock the scale necessary for cloud computing to reach its full potential in Europe.
The European Union also supports the development of cloud computing in Europe with research and innovation actions under the Horizon 2020 programme.

How to Fix Slow Downloads on Windows XP?
Possibly the main reason why slow downloads on Windows XP is the net connection isn't functioning at its total potential. It is an issue that lots of people unconsciously tolerate each day, and so as to ensure it isn't impacting the system, one needs to click on Google then search for "Broadband Speed Test". Click the 1st result and it'll come up with a speed check site. If one run that test and see the connection is very sluggish, or below what one are investing in, one have to speak to the Net Company about the issue.

Unfazed by the debacles in the first two Tests, India's pace spearhead Zaheer Khan said the team will come back strongly in the third match, the key to which would be putting the in-form Australian batting line-up under pressure.
"This Australian batting can be put under pressure. We are getting them under pressure but letting off a little bit. We have a few areas to look into and I'm sure we would be alright in upcoming matches," said Zaheer.
"We were fantastic as a bowling unit in Melbourne. Everyone chipped in. In Sydney the wicket changed after the first day. It was a bit different, and it's not an excuse, but anybody could see it. The nip and movement in the pitch wasn't the same. But we are looking forward to (this Test) and I am confident as a bowling unit we can take 20 wickets," he added.
Zaheer said although Ricky Ponting scored a century in the second Test in Sydney, he didn't look the same old batsman he used to be. "All I can say is that he (Ponting) applied himself well. But the Ricky Ponting of old...the flair is different now. He was more of a grinder and it wasn't his natural game. But a hundred is a hundred and all credit to him."
The 33-year-old swing bowler admitted that the team's plans did not work out in Sydney but had little doubt that the side would perform well in Perth. "Sydney didn't work out according to plan. It was tough for us. But these kind of things are understandable. We need to move forward. The Perth game starts with 0-0. It's a new Test and we are prepared to give it our best shot.
"Sometimes you do all the right things but it doesn't go your way. But this Test starts afresh and we are focusing on it. This game is important for us as far as series is concerned and we are ready to do well," said Zaheer.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn two or three 9-inch cake pans upside down and generously grease and then flour the bottoms. (Prepare as many pans as will fit in your oven at one time.)
In bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale lemon-colored. This will take 5 minutes or longer. Add water, flour and baking powder; beat until blended. Fold in lemon zest.
Using a spatula, spread about 11/8 cups of the batter over each prepared pan bottom to form a layer. Place pans in preheated oven and bake about 10 minutes, until set and lightly browned.
Remove layers to a rack to cool and then to a clean surface until ready to assemble cake.
Clean off bottoms of pans, grease and flour again and repeat process with remaining batter. This should make 9 layers.
Prepare filling. Spread between each layer and on top and around side of torte.
In top of double boiler over gently simmering water, combine egg yolks and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Add chocolate until melted and let cool slightly. Add butter and beat well, until thick and fluffy.

Anushka's Loss Is Deepika Padukone's Gain
As we all know, Deepika Padukone is the leading lady of Rajinikanth starrer multilingual movie Kochadaiiyaan. The Bollywood diva had given a nod to star in the movie without a second thought. Later, the same team started Kochadaiiyaan, a prequel to Rana, which was shelved for some reasons. But did you know who was approached before the offer knocked the doors of Deepika? Well, it is none other than Anushka Shetty!
Surprised right? The news has been revealed by none other than Anushka Shetty herself. The actress, who is awaiting the release of her prestigious Irandaam Ulagam, has spilled the bean over it in a promotional interview of her forthcoming movie. The Bangalore lass has said that she was supposed to work with the Tamil superstar, but could not take up due to her other commitments and she regrets it.
"Yes, I was supposed to work with him during the initial stages of Rana. When the talks were happening, I was shooting and couldn't give dates. I will always regret it," the Deccan Chronicle quotes the actress as saying.
Anushka Shetty claims that she would love to work with Rajinikanth, and knowing that he is a wonderful human being, she wishes to know him as a person. Continue reading the story and also see her latest pictures on the slideshow...

When songwriter Berry Gordy decided to branch out into producing in the late 1950s, he also cultivated his own sound of pop-accented soul music. This seminal music form would soon become synonymous with the name of his second record label, Motown, a nod to Gordy's motor-centric hometown of Detroit. Today, this influential genre is given new life by veteran crooners Leon Franklin, Charles Franklin, Douglas Gaddy, and Kim Green, the last of whom belted out hits such as "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)" with celebrated Motown band The Contours. Known collectively as The Motown Experience, the foursome wrap their soulful pipes around classic Christmas tunes, enrapturing audiences with their quick-footed choreography and seamless harmonies.
Akron Civic Theatre
The medieval carvings, European antiques, and Italian alabaster sculptures at the Akron Civic Theatre absorb the ascending harmonies of symphony concerts and heavy rock 'n' roll alike. Built in 1929 to resemble a Moorish castle, the venue has maintained much of its historic charm, including the exceedingly rare atmospheric ceiling, in which stars twinkle and clouds float by as mesmerizingly as the last few corn flakes atop a bowl of milk.
