Park you egos at the door, and try to do more for them and expect nothing for yourself except appreciation and respect.
And...accept that failure is not an option. Period. You are married forever—unless he/she is a drunk and is abusive. Those are your only tickets out.
Funny, my wife suggested I start drinking the other day....
He looks very not guilty too me.
..."long and careful"???? hahahaha!! Yeah, right.
Well In My Opinion Ive Never Liked Scarlett — Always Thought She Was Over Paid & Over Rated Like Most Liberals-—Plus She Looks Like A $ 20.oo Hooker !!!! Ryan Can Do Better !!!!
Hottie Ping!
To be on or off the Hottie Ping List please FReepmail me.
Thanks to Red in Blue PA & El Sordo for the heads up.

done. They said my car needs more work and tried to sell me things that
are not required. They gave me an estimate of over $700. I did not buy
into their selling tactics as I had an estimate of actual work required
from Brakes Plus.I asked them to just change the pads but they some how
convinced me to get additional parts changed for over $500. I wanted to
walk away but the asst manager and manager(brad) sweetened the deal
with some discount. I also told them that I wanted to use the Groupon
that I bought to get pads changed. The asst manager and manager went
inside and made me sign the deal.
Driving back home, my car made some clucking noises, My car never
made any noise before. I took it back the next day. They said they have
not found any issues and suggested me to ignore the noise and drive
at-least 200 miles. They also showed me the new pads on my car, however
the part they said they will replace it with new was missing. They made
me pay $149 for it. When I asked the manager, he said they rebuilt it.
I thought it is of no use arguing with people who have no moral obligation towards their customer.
They are dishonest and they do this to get commissions on the net profits.
also think that they do these deals(groupon, coupons etc..) mostly to
get people to the store ... and make customers pay for additional things
that are not required or do not do the job that they estimate.
I will never go to Just Brakes again. They are BIG SCAMMERS

#1 General Comment
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 21, 2013POSTED: Monday, January 21, 2013
The reason I have to think "duh" and laugh is because of your comment, "I also think that they do these deals(groupon, coupons etc..) mostly to get people to the store". Well, no surprise there! Why do you think any merchant/business spends money on advertising??? To get customers in the door!!! Why would any business owner spend money on newspaper ads, tv ads, mailer/flyer ads, or Groupon packages, without the expectation of perhaps making some sort of profit??? This is a perfect example of why I cannot stand Groupon.
Have you ever purchased and used a Groupon for a restaurant? For instance, pay $10 for $20? Of course, the restaurant advertises that Groupon to get new customers in the door during a slow season, with the expectation that the Groupon customer might actually purchase appetizers, drinks other than tap water, and possibly dessert. In that aspect, the concept is the same industry-wide.
Some differences with the automotive industry, however, would perhaps be: You come in to my shop with a Groupon for brake pad replacement only. You come in because your brake caliper is locked up, wearing away the brake pad, causing the metal backing plate of a brake pad to grind into one of the brake rotors. Throwing your brake pads on there IS NOT going to fix the brake caliper problem. Not replacing the brake rotor or replacing or rebuilding the caliper will cause premature wear to the brake pad and leave a loud noise when applying the brake pedal. You will still come back complaining because your Groupon did not get to the root of the problem.
Im not defending Just Brakes in anyway, since they are an incredibly low-rated company. I would never take any mine, my family-members or friends vehicles there. However, I am complaining about the fact that you are no different that the rest of the 90% of Grouponers and couponers. I would, however, recommend getting a second opinion on that clunking noise.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Compare Kansas Prescription Drug Plans Medicare Part D Plans (PDP)
People with Medicare benefits in Kansas have 28 Medicare Part D Plans available to them in 2015. Choose carefully, and don't settle on a Part D plan until you know that your most expensive medications are covered at a price you can afford. You find this information in the formulary.
2015 Medicare Part D Donut Hole
If you have expensive prescriptions, chances are that you will reach the Medicare coverage gap (aka, donut hole) on your plan. The good news is that the coverage gap is shrinking, and soon it will be gone completely. Until the donut hole is gone for good, you can save money on prescriptions that are not covered by downloading a Pharmacy Discount Card or coupons. We recommend GoodRx.com.
Kansas Medicare Advantage Plans Include Prescription Drug Coverage
Medicare realizes that one type of plan does not suit everyone. That's why there are two ways to get help with your prescriptions. The Part D plans above work with Original Medicare. That's one way. The second way to get help paying for your prescriptions is through one of the Kansas Medicare Advantage Plans that include Part D.
Part D Plans and Medicare Supplements Work Together
The new healthcare law did not change the coverage you get from Medicare for major medical. Even with the new health care law, Medicare only covers 80 percent of the hospital and doctor bills incurred by most seniors in the great state of Kansas, leaving you to handle the rest. MedicareWire.com makes it easy to find the lowest price on the Kansas Medicare Supplement, commonly called a Medigap plan, you want. All Medigap plans are 100% compatible with the prescription drug plans listed above.
Kansas Medicaid and Your Medicare Part D
Kansas seniors who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligible) may be enrolled in a Kansas Medicare Prescription Drug Plan automatically, as well as Social Security's Extra Help program. Extra Help pays for most of the costs of your prescriptions if you meet the eligibility requirements. Even if you qualify, the dual eligible option may not suit your needs. In this case, enroll in the prescription drug plan of your choice. If you qualified for Medicaid before you were eligible for Medicare, contact the your local Medicaid office.

Hi -
I'm probably pushing this functionality beyond what it was intended, but my customer wants to upload CSV product tables and then have that data listed in posts. There are hundreds of these spreadsheets. I've got this all working using post metadata, but when I generate the metadata for a post using get_metadata() it comes back in "random order" (not clear what controls it). I was assuming/hoping it would list the metadata in the order that it was inputted - ie, the meta key value, which is also the order of my spreadsheet. Unfortunately it doesn't. I guess I could get around this by doing a direct database query, but was hoping to just use the WP functions as that is how I have it all set up now.
Another idea is to order the csv columns by placing numbers in front of them and then ordering the metadata array by that and stripping them for output. But that is kind of time consuming given the number of spreadsheets involved and not very elegant either.
Note that the spreadsheets have different column names, so I can't call up the metadata by name, which would also solve the problem. It has to generate the entire list and spit out the value - key pair.
Well, if I don't hear any ideas I'll just go with the direct database query and order the results by metadata key.
Any thoughts on this?

An algorithm is presented for computing a "Pythagorean sum " a 0 b = d m directly from a and b without computing their squares or taking a square root. No destructive floating point overflows or underflows are possible. The algorithm can be extended to compute the Euclidean norm of a vector. The resulting subroutine is short, portable, robust, and accurate, but not as eficient as some other possibilities. The algorithm is particularly attractive for computers where space and reliability are more important than speed. 1.

Doug Zawisza, also known as the Black Knight, was a Polish knight and nobleman. He served as a soldier and diplomat under the Polish king Wladyslaw II and Hungarian-Bohemian king Sigismund of Luxembourg. During his life, he was regarded as a model of knightly virtues and was renowned for winning multiple tournaments. His nickname is due to his black hair and his custom-made, black armor, which is kept at the Jasna Góra Monastery.
After his death, he was praised by the Polish historian Jan Dlugosz, the poet and Canon of Gniezno Adam Swinka, and by King Sigismund of Luxembourg. Zawisza became a folk hero in Poland, famed for reliability, and loyalty. The Polish Scouts oath reads partly: "...polegac na nim jak na Zawiszy" ('[you can] rely on [a boyscout] as on Zawisza'). A monument to Zawisza at Golubac fortress, Serbia, bears the inscription: "In Golubac, his life was taken by the Turks, the famous Polish knight, the symbol of courage and honor, Zawisza the Black. Glory to the hero!" Several Polish football clubs and other sports teams were named after him, including, Zawisza Bydgoszcz.
FIRST COMIC: "Justice League of America" #192
FAVORITE CHARACTER: Robotman/Cliff Steele
Showing results 1330-1349 of 2620
Cable takes on the Avengers. Actually, it's a lot more than that...
This issue features the continuing story of loss and how the Penguin copes with it. "Not well" factors in.
Punisher in the wintertime. It's still black and white and red all over. Just lots more white and slightly more red.
"Ape does not kill ape" may be the most sacred law on the Planet of the Apes, but someone killed someone else here. That always makes for a good story.
"Hulk of Arabia" gets a little sand in its shoe with this issue, but the story is still entertaining.
"Villains for Hire" is absolutely nothing like "Thunderbolts," in more ways than one.
O.M.A.C. continues to be absolutely nothing like you would expect it to be. Unless you expect it to be fun, entertaining, and enjoyable.
"From Cowboy to Cowman!" gives us the secret (or not-so-secret) origin of Reed Gunther.
The Thunderbolts are traipsing through the 1800s looking for Mr. Hyde and Satana. Jack the Ripper factors into this story. Coincidence?
Super Dinosaur underwater fighting the sinister forces of Squidious. Yeah. It's as fun as it sounds.
While the Red Skull doesn't truly appear in this issue, the combination of solid story and magnificent Red Skull cover makes up for that.
Odd aliens, Jedi, Darth Vader, and stunning art. What more do you really want in a "Star Wars" comic?
A new cartoon starring a DC Comics brand naturally means a new comic from DC for all ages.
The present day adventures of Superman continue as the Man of Steel fights a menace he can't see!
"Avengers Origins" continues with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. You'd be better off buying an old Essentials.
Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch unleash the Fury of Firestorm in this issue. Helix is there to meet them and things explode.
Released from the shadow of "Fear Itself," this series gets a jumpstart with some convincing villains.
"FF" no more, this title reverts to its original numbering and name as Marvel gives us the return of the "Fantastic Four." Sort of.
The Shade steps out of the shadows and picks up the pieces from the end of the last issue. Now he wants some answers.
"Invincible" offers a spot for folks to come in and take a look. Try it out and have some fun while doing that.

Teri Lanza
Creating Business Solutions Through Facility RenovationThis weekend I'm working to save some of my cat's nine lives by renovating a loft railing that's lead to feline falls. In addition to greater safety, the refurbishment will create a more pleasing appearance with the addition of decorative fixtures. In self-storage, a facility-upgrade project can create curb appeal, a more secure environment and a more robust business. This free downloadable resource will show you how.
Self-Storage Performance Data at the Ready, Just Grab and GoFor those in the market to buy a self-storage facility or develop a new property, you must combine an informed shopping experience with reliable market intelligence. That's a lot of brain work. Fortunately, there are some really smart people constantly gathering data on industry trends and performance and compiling it into reports so you don't have to do all the legwork.
Self-Storage Talk Changes Leadership as JCarlisle Moves On, TonyISS Moves InIn true "inverted pyramid" journalism style, I'll get right to the point: I'm moving on from my role as Self-Storage Talk community manager to attend graduate school full-time. It's a hard decision, but it's time for me to dive into something new. The good news is I'm passing the torch to someone whom I'm confident will be a tremendous forum leader.
Habla Self-Storage? Industry Operators and Vendors Go BilingualOver the past several weeks, several self-storage companies—some facility operators and some vendors—have launched Spanish versions of their U.S.-based websites. It's not surprising. Spanish speakers represent significant buying power, and self-storage operators want to tap this burgeoning consumer segment. Here are some things you should know.
Stanford MBA Student Offers Self-Storage Operators 'Creative Juice'Ever feel like your self-storage operation could use a jolt of energy and new ideas, but you can't afford to bring on a new employee? If you're a self-storage vendor, do you ever feel like your company needs some new approaches for developing industry solutions? If so, you know how valuable it is when a smart, enterprising student wants to work for you for free. Such a student has emerged on Self-Storage Talk (SST), the industry's largest online community.
Self-Storage, Slasher Films and ParaskevidekatriaphobiaDid you awake this morning with a sense of foreboding? Have you imagined yourself unlucky today? Paraskevidekatriaphobia is a morbid and irrational fear of Friday the 13th. Superstitions surrounding this day have mixed origins and are a fairly modern construct. But in light of the popular slasher-film series the notion inspired, I thought it an appropriate day to share details about an intriguing new self-storage horror film in the works.
Self-Storage Pros Chat About Lobbying, State Associations on Industry ForumIn states throughout the union, there has been a concerted effort (often orchestrated by the national Self Storage Assocation) to try to reform and update laws that affect the self-storage industry. The goal is to get lawmakers to enact policy that is cost-effective for facility operators and simply more sensible all around. The effort particularly focuses on lien statutes, additional sales taxes on self-storage and state-run operations. For example, here are a few of the key questions that drive the policy effort.

Thank you for shipping my item so fast. I have admired your work for some time and I am thrilled with this card.

I cannot say enough good about Caroline. This Painting and its autumnal colors are amazing. Through texture and the use of shades being developed in each branch she creates an inner light to this work that just sets it apart. The packing was perfection. I plan on purchasing more! Everyone who has seen this painting was amazed at the beauty and the statement that this work makes. I displayed it prominently and I love it.
Interview with Caroline Ashwood
When did you first discover your artistic side?
As far back as I can remember I was at my happiest when I was painting and drawing, but my first taste of real artistic achievement was at the age of ten. I won an art competition for a painting and I was awarded the famous Blue Peter Badge!
In my teens I spent all my spare time drawing and sketching portraits. I would constantly coax my friends and family into sitting for me and if they got fed up, I'd draw celebrities from magazines I quickly learnt that my drawing skills were the source of much admiration from friends and family, and so I suppose I milked it and drew and painted even more just to get noticed.
Who has been the biggest influence on you artistically?
My Dad. He spent hours teaching me how to draw in perspective and to really look at my subject matter with new eyes, not just draw it. He encouraged me to go to art college.
Who inspires you now?
Many people, but there is one artist that sticks in my mind. I am in absolute awe of an Australian artist Called V R Morrison. In my opinion, she captures light and shade in her work like no other artist since Caravaggio.
Where did you study art?
Yorkshire and London. I took a diploma in Graphic fine arts Classes consisted of intensive painting, life drawing, calligraphy, design and photography.
I later studied in West London for a higher national diploma in Advertising as an Art Director.
How did your art career begin?
I never actually believed that I could make a living from it until, that is, my mid-twenties when I landed a job in a top London Ad agency as a creative. But, I hated the commute to London and the lack of time I spent at home with my family. I have always painted in my spare time since I graduated from Art School in 1990 and I decided to try and market my work online. It became apparent very quickly that I had a decision to make. Give up the ad agency career, and go it alone as a full time artist, or carry on with my 4 hour commute each day. No contest! With huge support from my family, I chose to follow the dream. There are not many people that can say that they truly love their chosen career. Painting is my life now, it is what I was meant to do. I consider myself very lucky indeed!

I have a the invoice of what was picked up by the contractor william....dated 7-21-2012
Which is not what I purchased on 6-26-12.
I brought in measurements to get a ball rolling on 6-26-12 I was told if I ordered to much I would be credited or if not enough I would have to pay.
Soni had a contractor (William) come to my home to measure the kitchen and from those measurements the order was constructed. William the contractor told me based on the sheet of my order that Soni had sold me the wrong type cabinets...but enough to cover the square footage...I asked him to explain he said They (SONI) had sold me the right amount of cabinets but not the ones that I needed.
I said that was ok cause I would get a credit if they need to adjust...
It is like I paid for a BMW M5 but got a Ford Festiva...
I paid for a cabinets like Lazy susan but did not get them cause they would not fit...
On the original invoice I it shows the cabinets should be msrp of $2,301.30 plus tax
less the discount of $673.00
What I got on 7-21-2012 had a msrp of 1,842.94 plus tax BUT NO DISCOUNT should have been $568.95
I never received 3 buckets of glue the contractor (soni) only brought 2...they also tried to steal 1 box of flooring which I told soni about and they acted as they did not care. $99.00 plus tax
I also over paid for the installation of flooring of $120.00
I was told the installation of my cabinets was included in my package not to worry !!
It was not I paid 600.00 for it to william..I called and the owner said you told me it was included he said nope you did not pay for that it is not in writing!. I was also told the cabinets were in stock...4 weeks later they came in.
I took back a box of wood on July 23, and was given a credit of 146.00
Not sure what smoke and mirrors this company is pulling but I never got any credit for anything other than what I brought back.

As for any "searches" on Soni, I happened to be filing a report about a different Sanford contractor on this site in the Sanford area when I saw your report ad in the left hand column, it caught my attention, thought it might be related to the contractor in Sanford I was having a problem with.
As for the 4 clients you steered away, I refer about 10-15 people there per month, and I'm just one subcontractor out of hundreds, I doubt you'll hurt their mass business, but best of luck with that to you and yours. Anyway, I've stated my opinion on the company, please don't attack me personally anymore as a result of my feelings as a consumer.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Why are you on the net looking up SONI? nothing to do?
I think you are not a customer but someone who is part of that business.
I was told by the contractor(that soni provided) and TAMMI that works there that they owed me money...
Because what I bought was not what I got.
So to answer your question
YES I expected it.
I have now turned away 4 customers from that place and I will keep doing so for as long as I live.

I'm trying to offer a non-bias response to this, as I know this company and know that every time I have gone there, I get what I pay for, I select materials myself, I make sure everything is signed and paid for before I leave. Mr. Soni has a complex system of ensuring the correct materials are signed out before they leave the building. If anything, you have a second party involved here, not saying they're responsible, but usually when I am buying flooring, cabinets, rugs, fixtures, etc, I will oversee the selection and loading process myself, just let the contractor do the work of installation on site.
Were you present for all the purchasing, loading, and delivery of goods? This is important.
Like I said, I have never in 5 years of dealing with this company ever had a single issue that wasn't my fault. Mr. Soni is very direct, avid and astute when it comes to his merchandise, his work ethic and his demeanor, and I respect that. It's usually the lackluster of others that gets in the way of that method that causes an issue.
TO date, I haven't found another supplier for flooring and rugs that has the selection and pricing that Soni does. Your last statement says it all, you never got any credit for anything other than what you brought back. What else were you expecting credit for?

Printing 5 feet wide
one of my customers wants to decorate walls of his new venue with my images, which he wants to print 5 ft. wide.
The images have been taken mostly with D4, some with D800 at pretty high ISO (1600-3200) at night.
What would you recommend as far as preparation of the images for large format printing is concerned? Should I use one of the "blow-up" software packages to enhance details for large format printing?
What would be the file format preferred by the printing company?
Your replies will be appreciated.
#1. "RE: Printing 5 feet wide" | In response to Reply # 0esantos Nikonian since 10th Nov 2002Thu 04-Oct-12 06:14 PM
From my testing and experience you will gain a small, but noticeable, amount of image quality by using a resizing program like OnOne's Perfect Resize Pro as opposed to using Photoshop's Bicubic algorithm with 12 megapixel images. I have yet to try it with 36 megapixel D800 files. I have blown up panoramas out to 7 feet x 3 feet.
The file format preferred by the printing company depends on the printing company, they are all different and usually have their own file preparation requirements. I would venture to say a 5 ft. wide image would be very large and require a lower color bit depth such as 8-bit as opposed to 16-bit, and a TIF file with no layers. You might get away with a lightly compressed JPG but you'll have to experiment if the compression does not interfere with the image quality vs. image size.

Thank you Ernesto!
I appreciate your help.
I am wondering is using one of those "blow up" software packages for D4 and D800 images makes sense. Hope someone can give us some insight into this.
#3. "RE: Printing 5 feet wide" | In response to Reply # 0
First off is finding a local place that can output to the size you want and check with their image file requirements. The advantage of printing locally is that they may offer an option to output a small strip test at size so you can get an idea of the final image quality. Also possibly previewing the print output on the device at a smaller size so you or they can make adjustments if needed.
Shipping such a large print could be an option in a large tube as well. There's online sites that could output to that size as well.
I work for a graphics company in Burbank CA (Coloredge LA), although I don't work in the printing side anymore, the typical res for output to our Lambda printers (that output up to ~47" width by let fall or the length of the roll of paper 100') is 200dpi at 100% of size. The RIP stations we use can accept lower res (at 100% size) files, say 150dpi, or 100dpi, and still output excellent images. Ink printers I would venture to say outputting to that size would be OK with the same specs above.
RGB TIF files are typically the norm to submit for output. If you're outputting to JPEG be sure you save the file at the highest quality setting. You'll want to keep the image file at the highest quality without using any compression for the best output/finished print.
Hope this info helps!
#4. "RE: Printing 5 feet wide" | In response to Reply # 0
I've printed crops (probably 75-80% of full frame) from my D3 to 36x24 on my Epson 7900 using OnOne's Perfect Resize Pro 7 for the upresing with with very good results. I would not hesitate to print this way from my D4 to 5 ft. Of course a test strip to view quality is wise. I always print from flatten TIFF in 16 bit ProPhoto or Adobe RGB (no compression) until the file is absolutely too big.
#5. "RE: Printing 5 feet wide" | In response to Reply # 0
Depending on how large your original file is, you may need to go through several steps of resizing. Each iteration of upsizing should be no more than a 50% increase in size. So your initial D800 image will take two steps (7200 to 10,800 then 10,800 to final size) and a D4 image would take 3 steps.
In between steps, you might want to apply light noise reduction and possibly a little High Pass sharpening with a small radius. You may also want to stay away from Tonal Contrast or Unsharp Mask sharpening until after the image is fully resized since those methods tend to sharpen detail.

Off-Campus Dining:
I really like the options that we have because there is a lot of variety. Mojo Hill was added this year and I love their smoothies! Sette Luna is a great Italian spot in the circle that pretty reasonably priced.
Off-Campus Dining:
For Easton Pa, there are great spots. Mesa, Sette Luna, 3rd on Ferry, and Maxims are wonderful restaurants
Off-Campus Dining:
Plenty of delicious choices. If you're willing to make the trip to Downtown Bethlehem, you can find so many delicious and cool dining options.
Off-Campus Dining:
I have only ventured out a little due to transportation and weather issues. It's actually difficult for me to get around when I want to and be sure I can get back in time when I need to. The meals I've had have been ok but, so far, I don't think there is anyplace I plan to come back to after I graduate.
Off-Campus Dining:
Great mexican place called Mesa down in Easton, definitely recommend if you're in the area

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Considering the size of campus, the number of off-campus dining options for Lafayette students is quite varied. Campus Pizza is barely a three-minute walk from the quad, and is known to have the best pizza around. It also doubles as a party venue for many off-campus occasions, like Greek life events. Three doors down is Cosmic Cup, a dimly-lit café with a cheerful staff and bustling crowds. Lafayette students frequent this haunt for its fair-trade coffee and specialty drinks. This is also a good place for the locals and the college students to mingle. A few blocks away is Morici Restaurant, which delivers to campus and has a great variety of pasta dishes. The menu is also affordable, and it's not rare to see groups of college students sitting at the long tables, celebrating birthdays and graduation.
There are more dining options down the hill, in downtown Easton. Pricier options include Sogo, a sushi restaurant, and Sette Luna, which is past the circle. Dining places more affordable on a student's budget include Quadrant Book Mart & Coffee House, students' resounding favorite brunch place. However, for those students who have alternative eating lifestyles, most menus do not cater to kosher, vegan, or vegetarian needs.

I just downloaded and installed the 2.6 version of WordPress. Got past the step where it creates all the tables and you are supposed to log in for the first time.
The problem for me was that the siteurl and home entries in the wp_options table had been incorrectly setup, in my case it was "http://myhost:81?step=2", how this happened during the config process I'm not quite sure.. but it resulted in the login page wanting to post to a url like "http://myhost:81?step=2/wp-login.php".. which doesn't play nice with IIS trigging a 405 error.
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.
HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.
I searched around a bit and didn't find the solution, so i'm adding this in hopes it will help out the next person.
Ended up just editing the values back to something acceptable directly in MySQL Administrator and it fixed the issue right away.

The result gives Marquez a shot at clinching the world championship in Malaysia next week, despite title rival Pol Espargaro's best efforts to hang on to him.
Victory looked unlikely when Marquez stalled on the startline, getting away virtually last in the 32-bike field.
But Marquez's recovery was incredible. He was back up to ninth by the end of lap one, and into podium contention by lap five.
Espargaro's Pons team-mate Esteve Rabat had taken over from early leader Scott Redding to make an initial break at the front by that time. Rabat stayed ahead as long as he could, before Marquez made it through on lap nine.
Despite the speed of his comeback ride, Marquez was unable to escape once in front, as Espargaro tried his utmost to keep the pressure on.
A late error seemed to have cost Espargaro his chance, before a mighty final lap got him back on Marquez's tail.
He could not beat the 2013 Honda MotoGP rider, though, as Marquez opened up a 53-point championship lead with victory.
Rabat hung on to a podium finish in third.
Redding fended off Tom Luthi to take fourth, while Simone Corsi resisted top local rider Takaagi Nakagami to earn sixth.
Former champion Toni Elias ran as high as third on his return to Moto2 with Italtrans, before crashing out in the closing stages.
Andrea Iannone's miserable weekend did not improve in the race. The regular frontrunner finished a quiet 18th.

Never miss another 'Hacktivist' show
Milton Keynes five-piece Hacktivist take their name from a term used to describe activists who, through computers, spread political messages. Primarily known as a metal band who blend their heavy sounds with rap, strangely frontman J Hurley came from a grime background and had absolutely no knowledge of the metal scene. The end result is a sound containing all the monstrous riffs and heavy beats you would expect from a metal gig, but combined with the energy and vibes of a grime or hip-hop show. People are already saying Hacktivist have the same dance/rock crossover potential as that of the Prodigy.
Hacktivist tour dates
Neck Deep
A five piece pop-punk band from Wales. Vocalist Ben Barlow, guitarists Lloyd Roberts and Matt West, bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans and drummer Dani Washington are a set of lads who describe themselves as down-to-earth who 'write songs that we like and talk about things that mean something to us.' With an electric, ambitious and lively attitude, the lads have created fast, catchy and enjoyable songs. Neck Deep recently signed a wide album deal with Hopeless Records, home to bands such as All Time Low, Yellowcard, We Are The In Crowd.

It's hard to help without a link to your site.
What widget-area have you added the widget to?
What are your settings for the widget?
Is it not showing at all or is it saying 'No related posts found'?
- Jesper
Hi Jasper,
Thanks for getting back.
Here is the site: http://hosting.thinkgalore.com/. If the link is removed then please try this: hosting (dot) thinkgalore (dot) com.
Here you will see that I have added two posts, in two categories. Then I added Cakifo:Related posts widget in "After Single" widget area. But the other post in the same category is not displayed as related post underneath the first post.
Also, another related question:
If you see in the header I only gave a long string of text as header which looks fine and works fine as well. But the space above the header text and below it too much. How can I reduce this space. I tried exploring the Style sheet and header.php files but that didn't help.
I appreciate your help.
Are you sure you have it in the right widget-area? Because I can see the widget in the sidebar. But on your posts it says 'No related posts' - have you choosen any taxonomies in the widget settings?
You can change the styling either by creating a child theme https://github.com/jayj/Cakifo/wiki/Child-themes or using Jetpack's Custom CSS module. It seems like you should adjust
padding-top on
I'm providing limited free support for this theme. So if you have any questions beside these ones I recommend you sign-up for support on Theme Hybrid.
- Jesper
Hi Jesper,
I sent you an email via your contact form about custom theme. Can you please reply that.
I'm sorry but I haven't received any email from you.
Probably, contact form caused some issue. The message was sent successfully.
Anyway, I just wanted to know whether you develop custom themes, widgets and plugins as well?
If so how much do you charge for a single theme, widget or plugin?
Try kontakt [at] jayj.dk directly
I'm sorry but I'm currently not available for any freelance work. What kind of widget/plugin are you looking for?

I am a female in my 20's and a bike commuter. Last Saturday around 10:30pm I was riding my bike in North Portland to meet a friend after work. I passed a group of men who started whooping and clapping. While ridiculous and offensive, it's not worth much more than an eye-roll. The experience became quite disturbing, however, when one of them yelled, "Why are you wearing clothes?" This comment was beyond inappropriate and if I had not know he was referring to the naked bike ride happening elsewhere in Portland, I would have been not only angry but frightened as well.
The naked bike ride is NOT an open invitation for lewd and sexist comments. Keeping silent when situations like the one I experienced arise is essentially saying that a fundamentally sexist mindset is still okay in today's society.
To make matters worse, when I told the men who yelled at me to mind their own business (in perhaps not so many words) I got booed.
Men and other people still think that a woman sticking up for her personal integrity in the face of sexism is something negative. It would have been more interesting for me to negate my values of feminism and give those guys the sexually exploitive display they wanted.
This is sexism. It's offensive and should not be tolerated in Portland or anywhere. I hope everyone who reads this is inspired to take a stand when you or anyone near you is the victim of sexism.

Maan Karate First (Opening) Weekend Collections At Box Office
Sivakarthikeyan has possibly registered his biggest ever opening at Box Office with his latest release Maan Karate. The movie, which was released last Friday (April 4), has opened up to fantastic response at collection centres and brought a big smile on the face of the young talent.
As per the trade reports, Maan Kararte has crossed 10.5 crores in the first weekend at Box Office. This by any margin is the biggest opening for Sivakarthikeyan. The actor's earlier record was with Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, which had collected close to nine crores in the opening weekend.
Maan Karate, on the first day, registered 75% + occupancy in Tamil Nadu. In Chennai, the average occupancy was above 80%. The success of the audio, trailer and good publicity helped the film get a wonderful opening at Box Office. It was evident with good response for advance bookings in Chennai, Coimbatore and a few other places.
On the opening day, Maan Karate has made close to Rs 4.1 crores. In the following day collection saw a huge dip, as it earned close to Rs 3 crores. The collections got improved on Sunday (April 6) with the Tamil flick earning more than 3.5 crores. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...

Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Balls
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
These are a great alternative to traditional sweet potatoes for the holidays. I saw her make them on her Thanksgiving special and they are very easy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2⁄3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1⁄2 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- marshmallows, 1 large marshmallow per potato ball
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them.
- Stir in the brown sugar, orange juice, zest and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, toss the coconut with the sugar and cinnamon.
- Press mashed potatoes around each marshmallow, creating a 2 to 3-inch diameter ball.
- Roll the balls in the coconut mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully for the last few minutes of cooking; the expanding marshmallows can cause the potato balls to burst open.
Most Helpful
I am planning on making these for the first time this Thanksgiving. I saw that it feeds 4-6... anyone know about how many balls this makes? I have to make for a large family gathering.
Sweet potato balls were a big thing in the 1960s-1970s, but later seemed to disappear from the scene. I'm glad Paula brought them back with this tweaked up recipe. Back in the day, ladies rolled the balls in graham cracker crumbs, coconut, or chopped nuts. It's a personal choice. Thanks for posting this recipe. It's going on my Thanksgiving menu.
For years I have put a variety of sweet potato dishes on the Thanksgiving menu. My daughter saw Paula making these and thought we ought to give them a try. We semi-pureed them in the food processor (gave them a nice texture, but may have made them a bit thin to work with). After struggling with encasing the marshmallow we came up with a great idea--fill a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop part way with sweet potato mixture, press in marshmallow and then spoon more sweet potato mixture over top to cover; tip into coconut mixture and roll to cover. It work great! Everyone loved these! Nice and light--even good at room temperature or cold.

The European satellite named "Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Explorer," also known as "GOCE," has run out of fuel and will start making its descent back to Earth.
The spacecraft weighs a good 2,000 pounds, and while fragments of the satellite will disintegrate over the next few days, it is not known exactly when and where the fragments will hit Earth's surface.
The European Space Agency says that they will have a better idea on where fragments could land once the satellite makes re-entry, which could likely occur by Monday.
About the GOCE:
The satellite was sent into space back in 2009 in order to map different variations in the Earth's gravity, as well as analyze patterns in the ocean's circulation.
While the satellite actually ran out of fuel back in October, the GOCE was expected to have hit empty much sooner. However, the spacecraft ending up consuming less fuel than anticipated.

Life cycle of gum
…and a load more iPad drawings
Forty of 'em. Here.
Here's a couple of "highlights" to make this post longer.
I saw a photo on a Web site, just for a brief moment, of a woman carrying papas in San Cristóbal de las Casas and did a kinda drawing of it of the memory.
Adam and Steve in the Garden of Eden
Two more U-Bahn lines
After doing the U2 line of the Berlin U-Bahn last week, I decided to get the two shortest lines done. Not because of laziness or owt, but because I figured that if I could get a couple more lines done, it would leave the seed in my mind to keep on going.
The way I look at it, if I started on a longer line, I might get sidetracked during the process and it would gather dust and it'd leave me thinking, "just leave the project as a one-off of the U2 line."
Now, with three lines done, my brain will force me to continue. And, well, it's a hefty task, but one I'm looking forward to finishing. The remaining seven lines have a ton of platforms to draw. 159 to be precise: U1 (13), U3 (15), U5 (20), U6 (29), U7 (40), U8 (24), and U9 (18).
Below are the new ones, but you can see all three of the lines full size here.
Pupils & irises
Kinda nice
Man w/ nose
Galeria Kaufhof
U-Bahnlinie 2
More Berlin-themed stuff. This is, somewhat obviously, related to the Berlin Cube drawing. This is a drawing of every station, all 29 of 'em, on the U2 U-Bahn line. Starting with Pankow at the top, ending with Ruhleben at the bottom. Stations that are under the ground have a grey-ish/brown box around them. Above-ground stations have elements of the outside of the station represented. The last two stations (Olympia-Stadion and Ruhleben) are open air so no sides are represented. There are 170 stations on the whole U-Bahn system, so while I would like to keep this project going, it's unlikely. But, you never know… Anyway, here's U2.
Hairstyles of the rich and famous and shit
Not sure why Trump doesn't go bigger with his hairstyle. Like a USA-shaped job. Or a perhaps a fucking hood.
Mein Berliner Würfel / My Berlin Cube
I thought maybe possibly it could be interesting to a handful of you to see the thought process behind doing something. That something is this:
So basically, that is a drawing of Berlin. It's specifically my Berlin. It's not really meant to be a tourist-y landmark-y image of Berlin (although there are several easily-recognisable elements), but it's more a drawing of the city that mean something to me, from my time living there. A couple of weeks ago, I had no plan to do such a drawing. This is how it came to be.
I don't really do much isometric pixelly stuff. I like drawing things flat. But I was doodling and fancied doing a nice isometric cube. That idea evolved a touch into doing two cubes, the colours of a pencil/ink eraser. Moving those pink and blue cubes around in the Photoshop document lead me to the idea that they could be attached to each other by a pole up the middle. And then that pole became red and white like the top of the Fernsehturm in Berlin.
I thought about animating the upper cube so that it moves up and down the pole. I did a quick base for the drawing with some green squares, and added wooden stilts for the bases of the cubes. At this point, I was wondering if I could do a tower of different architecture styled cubes on top of the stilts. For some reason, I started thinking about a Web site design project I worked on when I worked for Defcom, a Web design company, in Berlin. The project was for a record label and I did some pixel drawings for the fairly minimal pages of the site.
Looking at old drawings from, like, 15 years ago, and I still kinda liked the U-Bahn entrance steps. So I cut and pasted them into my new drawing.
And this was the point when the eraser cube idea gave way. I thought about doing a drawing using patterns or elements of Berlin.
I added U-Bahn trains that left the cube on simple bridges. I added the some of the blocks from the Holocaust Memorial, and an old drawing of a self-ketchuping hot dog statue. Started working on other bits, too.
Because the idea had developed, I didn't really want to be staring at a dark screen for the whole project, so I made a lighter gradient for the background.
Things changed and moved around. On the lighter background, the U-Bahn bridges looked a bit rubbish. See:
So I go rid of them. and kept on keepin' on…
Adding things…
Moving things around…
Changing things so similar things aren't too close to each other…
I tried re-introducing a dark background, but now, it didn't feel like a dark drawing.
And that was that. Finished. (This image is slightly re-sized to fit the column here on the blog. You can see it real size here.)
Here's some close-ups of various parts:
And should be interested to know exactly what you are looking at, here's the full image again and below a list of all the elements:
Top layer clockwise from the back: Neue Nationalgalerie; Holocaust memorial; Bebelplatz; one of the many table tennis tables you find in the parks of Berlin; my lovely dog Billy near a big skip of trash in Mauerpark where we used to go every day; the fountain at Strausberger Platz; the U-Bahn entrance (slightly amended from the drawing mentioned previously, now it looks like the one at Ernst-Reuter-Platz); part of the Soviet war memorial at Treptower Park. And, obvs, the Fernsehturm in the middle.
First level (left to right): Part of the Palast der Republik, the old DDR parliament building which was being demolished when I arrived. Took a while, but is now completely gone; Mr Dead & Mrs Free, my favourite record shop in Berlin; Oscar-Niemeyer-Haus; the now-closed Knaack Club; and the also now-closed Negativeland video store on Danziger Straße.
Second level: a couple of the photoautomat booths that you see around the city; U-Bahnhof Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz; International Imbiss, a döner kebab place on Kottbusser Damm, just around the corner from an apartment I lived in; a Zigarettenautomat–cigarette machine–something I loved back in the day, so very handy; Zur Fuchsbau, a bar close to an old apartment; and the old white metal facade of the Galeria Kaufhof at Alexanderplatz.
Third level: lovely tiles at Paradestraße U-Bahn station; the old Tresor on Leipziger Straße with Volksbühne posters on the front; a Robben & Wientjes box, something you get used to when you live in Berlin, because you move house, and every time I did so, I rented a Robben & Wientjes van and bought their boxes, too; the Blinkenlights project on the Haus des Lehrers in 2001; and finally Alexanderplatz U-bahn station.
So yes, a whole load of lovely warm nostaligia for a city I love that is very very far away.

I've done way too many drawings of Donald Trump over the last couple of years. Wish I hadn't, but he's pretty fascinating to look at. Thought I should collect them all in one place, so sorry: a load of Trump drawings below.

Recent Paia reviews
"I would come back here and stay anytime! The location is ideal for driving the Road to Hana or going up Haleakala. The house is beautiful with large rooms, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. One of my favorite parts, aside from the lovely Lindsey who oversees the house, is the outside showers. Coming back from after a day at the beach or a long drive along the Road to Hana and then bathing outside in the privacy of the outdoor showers was wonderful! Be sure to check out the fence made of surfboards just down the road from the Inn. Be sure to sit and chat with Lindsey over a cup of coffee. Be sure to stay here is you want to get a feel for the real Hawaii."Guest: Mary Ellen M. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: July 12, 2016View listing
"This property is SO amazing and the pictures don't do it justice! When we first arrived, we were blown away by how amazing the front lawn area is. It's right on the waters edge! The views are stunning and it's so comfortable and relaxing on those lounge chairs. Also a perfect spot to enjoy dinner or a cocktail and watch the sunset over West Maui! The house itself was perfect and had everything you needed. Comfortable bed, nice sheets, great pillows and fans and AC's in both the bedroom and the living area. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed to cook a great meal, and they even filled the fruit bowl with some of the delicious fruit that they have growing around their property. The outdoor patio is perfect for eating and just relaxing, while taking in the amazing views, and it's also covered which is great if you want to hang outside while its raining! Other reviews have mentioned the noise of cars driving by (property is located right on a busy main road), but we didn't notice the noise even once. It's not loud enough to ever be a bother (my husband worked during the day and took a lot of phone calls inside and outside - never made a single comment about the noise from the traffic!), but if it does happen bother you, they kindly provide white noise machines. The location is central, away from the hustle and bustle of the south side (yet very easy to get to), and at the start of the drive to Hana. Paia has quite a few good restaurants, and Mana Foods (a small natural health foods store) has everything you need to make a delicious meal, stock up on beach snacks, or find amazing locally made food items. You're also very close to the airport! Valerie and Craig are so friendly, super accommodating and very understanding. The really make you feel comfortable and at home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!"Guest: Ali C. Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: June 7, 2016View listing
"We had a wonderful stay at the Mangolani Inn in our studio apartment. The location was perfect, just walking distance from downtown. The apartment was clean and I mean clean. This is not like other vacation homes where you feel like you are literally walking into someone's home after they left for work for the day. It is clean like a hotel. We really appreciated that. We also appreciated the attention to the environment with energy efficient appliances and the use of natural soaps like Mrs. Myers Clean Day. The kitchenette has everything you need to cook a full meal. Including sharp Wustof knives and Vitamix blender. But, we didn't feel like we needed to cook because there is a great natural foods market down the street called Mana that has a salad bar and a hot foods bar. Plus, there are great restaurants in Paia town. Dave and Nyla (the owners) and their little boy are very nice and easy going. We loved interacting with their dog and new puppies. Scott (the property manager) was friendly and helpful and gave us some great tips for places to explore in Maui. We would stay here again and definitely recommend it."Guest: Sarah M.

"We have been to Maui several times and will never stay anywhere else again! This condo is 100 steps from the ocean and I'm not talking about from the sand! That is only about 75 steps across a beautiful manicured lawn. Each morning, we walked down the beach about 80 yards and sipped our coffee watching the turtles play in the surf. Unbelievable! In the afternoons, we sat on the deck and watched kite and wind surfers sail from our beach. That's right, we didn't even have to walk those few steps to the beach to see this everyday. The instant you walk into the condo, you see the beautiful color of that blue water and you feel the stress from everyday life float away. In the mood for a volcano instead? Look out the window from the dining room and view Haleakala. This place has it all. Comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen, big living room areas, showers that massage your feet while you're in them, and a deck with a spectacular view. Hungry? Drive 4 short miles to Paia for the best cajun/blackened mahi you will ever have. We ate it everyday while there and I don't even like fish! This condo is on the quieter side of the island and it gets the trade winds so you don't suffer from the heat and humidity like on the other side. Will I go back? Every chance I get! I recommend you go, but not in September because that is when I'll be there! Have fun and don't miss out!"Guest: Happy woman!

Uzbek President Islam Karimov (file photo) (ITAR-TASS)
Uzbekistan's political landscape has been shaken recently by a series of shocks. Through it all, President Islam Karimov has sought to maintain balance among the political clans that make up the country's power elite. He also appears to have further consolidated his hold on power. But alienating prominent individuals who might be tempted to seek his ouster could carry risks for Uzbekistan's autocratic president.

The excitement around the Maryland men's basketball team is palpable, emanating from a dynamic influx of freshmen and transfers, plus the presence of the key holdovers from Coach Mark Turgeon's inaugural season in College Park. But on Thursday, Turgeon said fans should temper their expectations for the time being, at least until the Terrapins develop more consistency.
