Is it possible to use a different page than 'index.php' for the default WordPress installation, that is, rename it something like blog.php? I need to be able to load WordPress in the root directory. I have installed it in a subdirectory - public_html/wordpress/ - but I need to be able to have WordPress "work" in the root. I know that I can move the index.php and .htaccess outside of the WordPress directory into the root, but I already have a file in the root called 'index.php' that CANNOT be changed. I can't call it 'index.html' either as it needs the .php extension. I'd love to just make the entire site in WordPress, but unfortunately I can't. Basically I'm only using WordPress for a news section, and for a membership directory based on the Connections plugin. The rest of the site is entirely static.
I tried searching the codex for 'index.php' but that won't work, neither does 'index'. The only Google result close is this: http://www.askdamagex.com/f2/anyway-use-wordpress-but-rename-index-php-something-else-31022/ But I don't want the index.php appended on, I need to use permalinks.
Any suggestions? Could I use .htaccess to somehow redirect? Or can I edit WP's code so that index.php isn't the default?
Such a pain :\ Wish I could just make the whole site in WP...

Photos on Twitter showed the damage to downtown Napa buildings and its wine industry was extensive.
'Crumbled.'One nurse tweeted this.
These photos were from a local winery.

Posted on 07/11/2011 10:23:42 PM PDT by nickcarraway
A BOY of 15 has been banned from class because he has grown a beard.
Teachers put 6ft 2in Harrison Cerami in isolation when he refused to shave.
But mum Kerry, 41, claims razors would trouble her sons acne and has taken him out of the school in protest.
She said: There are children with earrings, nose rings, eyebrow piercings yet Harrys being singled out for having a beard.
Hes hit puberty and is just a hairy lad who wants to have a nice, trimmed beard.
I could understand the isolation punishment for something more serious, but to be put into a small room for a day is disgraceful.
Mrs Cerami, of Blackburn, said Harrison will not go back to Ribblesdale High School unless it changes its rules.
Headteacher Simon Smith said: Our policy for boys is they attend clean shaven.
He added that Harrison could return to his classroom if he shaved his facial hair.
How about girls? Just asking.
American kids can't read, don't know the classics, can'do basic arithmetic (much less algebra), are taught how to cheat to tests and put condoms on bananas and yet don't know the 3 branches of US Government, much less the Bill of Rights.
And a kid who's puberty got ahead of the curve is a problem?
Obama's gotta beard and he's still in the White House.
It's the UK. You need to ask if it's okay if the Queen has a beard.
This is stupid. On many accounts not the least of which is that God gave us facial hair. DEAL WITH IT!!
I feel a school can set standards for cleanliness and maintenance of a beard but to say you can't have one is stupid.
For some reason we Americans have this weird hate relationship with facial hair. Starting in the 20th century facial hair became a stigma. I just do not get it.
Facial hair (for a man) is no different than the hair that grows on his head. Properly trimmed and maintained, it causes on offense and is not a source of any hygeine problems.
But in the early 20th century we decided that our men should perpetually look like little boys. Maybe it was the homosexual lobby pushing it. But now, men cannot have hair (even neatly trimmed) anywhere.
You have men waxing their chests, their butts, their nether regions, all in the name of looking like a 12 year old boy.
Why??? What is wrong with a well trimmed beard. I sport a beard during the winter months. I keep mine well trimmed and short. What's anyone's beef with that?
Also, please do not tell me that the school has the right to do this. The school is not a private enterprise. It is a public institution. Making arbitrary rules that (in this case) go against nature, makes zero sense. Why not ban eyebrows next?
I'm just a beard...
When beards are outlawed, only outlaws will have beards.
The boy is better off out of the socialized school system. We should root out socialized schooling and replace it with a capitalist school system.
There is no more reason to socialize the schooling industry than there is to socialize the healthcare industry.
One of my junior classmates had white hair, like an old guy. Something about a hair condition.
Either way, we used to him to go to the liquor stores and score some booze because he's the one who looked the part of an old dude with white hair.
Would they insist Sikhs be clean-shaven? If not, they should most definitely STFU.
Good point! Sikhs can keep facial hair (more power to them!)
If so, then everyone else should be able to keep well maintained and clean facial hair
I mean, we are not talking about piercings or tattoos etc that are your choice.
If you are an average guy freaking hair grows on your face when you hit puberty. that is God's plan!
Now, you can ask me to keep it neat and clean and so on. You can ask me to cover it while preparing food etc. But to ask me to shave it off because it offends you is ridiculous.
Again, differentiate between choices like tattoos and piercings and things that God designed
It is just like nails. You can certainly demand that I keep my nails trimmed and clean but if you suddenly insist I have my nails pulled out of their nail beds cause they offend you, you have another punch coming to your nose
His mother makes the very good point too about all the other unnatural changes from the traditional dress code etc. from the 1950's. This boy's basically normal and the article makes him out to be groomed. Even if the beard weren't groomed, how is their policy on trendy things like dreadlocks? And I get the feeling it's the healthy display of masculinity (that's basically limited to those of Caucasian ancestry) that bothers them most, even if they'd never put it into words that way.
Clean shaven men don't do a thing for me.
I like 'em hairy and scary.
If I want "smooth silky skin" touching mine, I'll turn queer and date women.
We had several mustached and/or bearded boys in my high school.
Nobody cared.
It is perplexing, isn't it ? A classroom of 25 kids costs the public school system $300,000 to operate for 9 months out of the year. You would think a private school could pay every teacher $100,000 salary for a 12 month school year and still spend half as much overall. Think about it: with ten classrooms, you'd have $500,000/yr left over to pay for an administrator, janitor, nurse, and utilities and facilities lease. If public schools weren't "free" nobody would choose them. The only public schools should be "reform" schools for the kids that were troublemakers in the private schools. Cut property taxes in half and let people pay for their own kids to go to private schools.
Yeah, I remember plenty of even 8th graders in my class sporting facial hair, including one with more than a Don Johnson level of daily stubble. Britain's a bit different, but if different branches of various militaries can handle grooming regulations for facial hair, a post post-modern high school can too.
One of the things I thought was interesting was that the mother commented that shaving would aggravate her son's acne. My husband had that problem as well, and the only way he could avoid severe acne was to grow a beard. The last day he ever shaved was our wedding day, and then he immediately began growing his beard, which he kept until the day he died. He always kept it groomed, kept his curly hair short as well, and he was a handsome man. His beard started early, also.
I had a goatee when I met my wife. She told me that beards really turned her on, so I grew a full, but trimmed one. I didn't mind too much.
When I was in 8th grade, one of the guys came to the first day of school with a full beard. He was 13, but all the guys in his family had early facial hair. They had to change the dress code to make him shave. He came back the next day with big, pointy, Elvis type sideburns, and the principal freaked.
Some men really look their best with beards. I like a trimmed beard with short hair, it's a masculine look.
(I had to explain that term to a friend just yesterday.)
No, it's a matter of discipline.
I know the US doesn't have a tradition of school uniforms in the way that the UK and much of the Commonwealth does - but they are used in Britain and the Commonwealth as a way of teaching children self discipline and they work very well in that role. This includes standards on grooming. As I say, the US doesn't have this tradition in the same way as other places - and that's fine. That's a feature of American culture that should be respected. But the same applies in reverse - in places where this is a long standing cultural tradition, which is in place for a reason, that should be respected as well.
Most schools in the UK require boys to be clean shaven, because that is the standard that society expects for male children. Adults have beards. Children do not.
In general, in Britain and the Commonwealth, schools that have abandoned these standards have also abandoned other expectations concerning children's behaviour. The things tend to go together.
Yes, exceptions can and generally are made in cases where there is a religious reason - such as there is for Sikh's - to have facial hair. But a child who is following their rules of their religion in terms of these issues, is a child who is learning self discipline through that, and so that doesn't go counter to the idea behind having uniform and grooming standards.
What this is, as most such attempts are, is a mother who wants her son to be exempted from following the rules of his school. In other words, she wants her son to be treated as special and she is sending a message to her son that any rule he doesn't like can be ignored. That isn't a good message.
Give him the part of Lincoln in the school play.
Even the US military, steeped in tradition and expectations, allows beard exemptions not related to religion.
In this case, it's not clear this rule existed before this kid. But they said they allow any kind of piercing etc. If they allow all that stuff, I don't see how they can ban the beard. If there overall rules were strict, then yes.
He could claim to be a Mooooslim and it would be his "right" to have a beard.
Simply having a beard is not a problem, but obviously you've never kissed a guy with one. There may be other reasons for the preference against them.
The mother who has a bee in her bonnet about this claims other children are allowed to have piercings. No evidence is provided for that - it's just her claim.
The school's rules - which are publically available - state that only ear piercings are allowed and only one basic piercing in each ear. They also set rules on hair and grooming - yes, the statement on being clean shaven seems to be new, but that's an extension of the existing policy added because this boy is trying to claim the rules were unclear. Not really to anyone who reads them and applies common sense.
The school has also said that if there is a medical reason the boy needs an exemption, he can have one. But they need a doctor to sign off on that if that is the case.
It's a school with high standards in discipline, including grooming. They are not letting this boy and his mother undermine that simply because they don't like a rule.
I remember one kid in elementary school that had a mustache. And lots of guys in HS had beards. No one ever cared about it then ... why now?
"There are children with earrings, nose rings, eyebrow piercings..."
You post:
"...ear piercings are allowed and only one basic piercing in each ear."
"Its a school with high standards in discipline, including grooming."
If the boy has foliculitis, get a note from the doc. Then the school can't force him to shave.
CORRECTION: your = you're
Way back when I was that age we had a Maynard G. Krebs Day (anyone remember the Dobie Gillis TV show?) at our school. For a week before the administration would remind us that anyone who was not clean shaven or in violation of the dress code would be suspended.
On Monday morning nearly every student showed up in jeans and T-shirt, those of us who could sported a beard. There were too many to suspend.
See... this is what aggravates me...
Sentences like "Adults have beards. Children do not."
Dude! The "child" is now 15. Guess what? Nature (via God) is giving him a beard. DEAL WITH IT
You cannot force him back into a boy. He is more a "man" than a "child". And stop with the stupid "British tradition" nonsense. Till 100 years ago, a 15 year old would have been a wage earner and would not be considered a "child"
You cannot fight Mother Nature. What next? Ban 15 year old girls from having a period??? I mean it is the same thing, innit?? After all they are "girls" and not "women"
Dude, the guy is willing to trim his beard and keep it looking good. He has not done this to himself. Nature and God did this to him. Let him be.
As I said, this is all very homosexual lobby. Keep men looking like little boys forever.
Yes, the article refers to students having "earrings, nose rings, eyebrow piercings". I don't believe that is accurate. The only person who is saying that is the case is the mother of this student who wants to break the rules. The school's rules do not allow students to have nose rings or eyebrow piercings. It allows only the ears to be pierced, and only one piercing in each ear. That is what I am pointing out.
A single ear piercing in each ear is not, in my view, excessive or deranged. Your standards may be different. You're entitled to hold them if you wish, but I am quite comfortable with the rules as the school states them. I would not agree with them if they allowed nose rings or eyebrow rings, but my point was that I believe that is a fabrication by the boys mother trying to excuse her son's attempt to escape the rules.
Well, I'm sorry it aggravates you. It doesn't aggravate me. What aggravates me is parents who tell their children that rules don't apply to them - that they are special and can do whatever they like and that any rule that they do not like should be evaded and ignored.
Dude! The child is now 15. Guess what? Nature (via God) is giving him a beard. DEAL WITH IT
Nature is also giving him BO, and on occasion, will give him diarrhea. In both cases, I expect him to know how to deal with the issues those things raises and to do them.
Do you want the school to let him turn up stark naked as well. What's natural about wearing clothing?
Where do you draw the line? You have to draw it somewhere. In the case of this boy's school, they have chosen to draw it within the norms of English society.
You cannot force him back into a boy. He is more a man than a child. And stop with the stupid British tradition nonsense.
It's not nonsense. School uniforms have been a standard part of English schooling for over a century now.
Till 100 years ago, a 15 year old would have been a wage earner and would not be considered a child
In Britain, he would have been. Yes, he would have most likely been working at 15, but he would have still be considered a minor child - still subject to the dictates of his parents, or his employer acting in loco parentis. That could persist until the age of 21 in some cases. Believe me, I know how this works - I joined the Royal Australian Navy when I was 15. That didn't make me an adult. The two things were not assumed to go together. Boy Midshipmen were one of the last remnants of that old idea but it does give me a bit of an insight into this.
You cannot fight Mother Nature. What next? Ban 15 year old girls from having a period??? I mean it is the same thing, innit?? After all they are girls and not women
No, we don't ban 15 year old girls from having periods. We do expect both boys and girls though to manage the things that come along with puberty and adolescence. This includes expecting them to maintain a reasonable level of cleanliness and grooming despite the challenges that come from a changing body.
That's what this schools rules require and to make it simple, they make their expectations clear.
As I said, this is all very homosexual lobby. Keep men looking like little boys forever.
It has nothing to do with homosexuality. Learning how to manage your body is part of being a man.
Go and tell a US Marine that proper grooming makes him gay and see what reaction you get.
There is nothing masculine or manly about being an unkempt slob, or choosing to ignore society's normal expectations about appearance.
The point of my posts have been: which rules have been changed and what values do those changes reflect?
An examination of which rules have been changed in most institutions of western countries will reveal the same pattern of derangement - i.e. disturbance of order and function - by the same cultural forces in the same direction. (An example of one of these can be summed up as "boys should be more like girls or feminine.")
The UK has a Muslim problem and they're booting kids from school for growing a beard?
But schools having the power to set standards on grooming and similar can actually be useful in terms of resisting these trends.
These are pictures from the webpage of the school in question.
Looking at them, what do we see. Well, I see a separate boys and girls uniform (similar, but different - boys are wearing collar and tie, girls are wearing blouses). We see boys with short hair, 'typical' of boys, girls typically with longer hair. Separate PE uniforms too (and it looks like boys and girls are also different sports).
Having these rules, if they are used to do it, actually allows schools to ensure that the differences between the sexes are acknowledged and not blurred out of existence. Now, it isn't always done well - some schools deliberately go for unisex uniforms and unisex standards, for example. But it can be done well, and to me it looks like this school is one that does try to do it well.
Boys are expected to dress and look like boys. Girls are expected to dress and look like girls. At least to the extent that this can be achieved with clothing and grooming.
If this school wanted to eliminate the differences between boys and girls, it wouldn't have different uniforms for them, and different expectations about hair and similar.
I was in high school from 1955-1959. Most of the guys were fully capable of growing facial hair. Not one of us would even consider it. First off, our fathers said "no facial hair, no way." Then Sister Mary Doorgunner would be waiting for us at the entrance to St. Mary's, armed with a T-Square to sort out any violators. It prepared us for basic training. I had a beard for about three weeks 40 years ago. I looked like a dog with mange. I had a rather luxurious handle bar moustache at one time, but I've been facial-hair free for decades now. Both of my sons sport goatees, and both of my wife's sons do as well. I prefer the clean shaven look/feel.
Better him than some guy who feels like a woman.
And the ACLU would fiercely support his right to show up in class wearing a dress, if he went 'that way'.
There's the "problem" right there.
Throw a little manly fur on that face and there's gonna be a riot amongst the girls.
And we like you too, sweetie.
Happy Birthday to Brer Odin.

Blackout Is Just Latest Woe For a Troubled Ohio Utility
By JAMES DAO with ERIC LIPTON
Published: August 22, 2003
CLEVELAND, Aug. 21— The huge gray cooling tower of the Davis-Besse power plant stands along Lake Erie like a monument to nuclear energy and industrial might. That it has been idle for more than a year, though, makes it a testament to something else, according to former employees and the federal regulators who ordered it shut down.
The dormant plant, for them, is an example of neglect and poor management by its owner, the FirstEnergy Corporation, which allowed hazardous conditions to fester so badly that a catastrophic accident may have been only months away.
The shutdown of Davis-Besse -- the plant, outside Toledo, was taken off-line after acid nearly ate through the reactor lid -- is the most extreme example of shortcomings in how FirstEnergy runs an empire with 4.3 million customers across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
But it is not the only one.
Its New Jersey subsidiary has come under fire for frequent blackouts, for inadequate maintenance and for allowing stray electricity to run through the ground, leaving residents of Brick, N.J., tingling when they step into pools and Jacuzzis.
And in northern Ohio, mayors have complained to state regulators that power failures by FirstEnergy have become more frequent and longer, forcing some to buy diesel-powered generators for municipal buildings. The company has been responsible for more blackouts in Ohio already this year than all of last year.
When FirstEnergy's network of transmission lines and power plants in northern Ohio failed last Thursday -- one of the first problems in the cascade of events that resulted in the nation's largest blackout -- misgivings among elected officials and others about the company's performance turned into wider and more fundamental questioning of its conduct as one of the major players in the nation's deregulated, physically vulnerable energy market.
FirstEnergy contends that its run of recent problems is not the result of a systemic management failure or inadequate investment in its power system, and some industry monitors assert that the company's performance is by and large no better or worse than other giant utilities.
FirstEnergy has failed, it said, to meet national standards for safe operations in very few categories.
And the federal officials investigating the blackout have been explicit in cautioning against assuming who, if anyone, was to blame, and emphasizing that it will be weeks before they sort out what exactly accounted for the failure of any part of the system.
FirstEnergy, based in Akron, is no Enron, the once high-flying Texas energy merchant that sold its power plants at the dawn of energy deregulation to focus on buying and selling power. Formed in 1997 by the merger of two Ohio utilities, FirstEnergy kept its smokestacks and power lines. But the company is in many ways emblematic of how traditional utilities have tried to adapt to the freewheeling ways of deregulation.
It has become aggressive about expansion, but a number of its senior managers stepped down or were reassigned while the company was under fire. It, like similar energy companies, has invested ever larger amounts on lobbying and political campaigns, pouring money into local and national politics and earning victories on rates and energy policy.
And, documents indicate, FirstEnergy has made what many experts and elected officials regard as less than impressive efforts at spending on the things that they say the nation's electricity grid needs most: upgrading its transmission system. In the three years since deregulation legislation passed in Ohio, its spending on maintaining its high-voltage transmission lines in Ohio has remained all but flat.
The decision not to increase such spending came as industry groups and government regulators were warning that the grid system in the Midwest, including FirstEnergy's territory, could become a choke point in a summer power surge.
FirstEnergy has insisted it was an accidental player in the blackout, that the problem began elsewhere. But many experts say the problems at FirstEnergy are indicative of broader issues affecting many power companies as competitive pressures have increased the drive for profits, and the role of government to police the operation of the nation's power grid is extremely limited.
''This has always been a utility that has dug in and supported the status quo, not wanting to modernize, not wanting to make investments,'' said State Senator Eric D. Fingerhut, a Democrat from the Cleveland area who sits on the legislative committee that oversees power companies.
FirstEnergy concedes none of that. ''The company has been through some difficult times recently,'' Todd Schneider, a company spokesman, said. ''It has been in tough situations before, and we have successfully emerged.''
In 1999, a fierce battle unfolded in the Ohio Legislature over legislation to deregulate the state's electric utilities. The plan called for allowing new companies to sell power in territories once monopolized by the local utilities.
FirstEnergy, just two years old and rapidly growing, had other ideas. The company, like other utilities in Ohio, tried to stop the legislation, hiring more than two dozen top-drawer lobbyists and consultants, including Robert H. Bork, the former United States Supreme Court nominee, who had an expertise in the legal questions involved.

Doctor Faustus
by Christopher Marlowe
Doctor Faustus Act 2, Scene 1 Summary
- Back in Faustus land, our main man wonders if he hasn't made a Big Fat Mistake. Should he return to God?
- Probably not, he thinks. God doesn't love him, and he'll probably be better off continuing to serve the devil instead.
- That pesky Bad Angel encourages him to keep pursuing the dark arts, while Good Angel thinks Faustus should be focusing on heaven.
- But think of the honor and wealth, Bad Angel tells him. At which Faustus's ears perk right up.
- Enter Mephistopheles, who's back with the news that Lucifer has agreed to Faustus's terms, as long as Faustus will sign a legal document giving Lucifer his soul. Oh, and it has to be written in blood. Ouch.
- What's that all about, Faustus wants to know.
- Misery loves company, that's what. Mephistopheles tells Faustus that Lucifer likes to win souls so he can have someone to hang with, down in Hell.
- Sounds about right. So Faustus cuts his arm in an attempt to write the document, but his blood congeals. Gross.
- You know what's a really great idea when you're bleeding profusely from the arm? Fire.
- Okay, that's only a good idea if the blood gushing from your arm has congealed and needs to be melted. Luckily, that's exactly what has happened here. So Meph goes for some fire.
- While he's tracking down some flames, Faustus is left alone with his thoughts. And they aren't good.
- He wonders if the whole blood-congealing-so-he-can't-sign-away-his-soul-in-legalese thing is an omen, or a sign. Maybe his blood doesn't want him to sell his soul.
- Faustus signs the document anyway. Good move, dude.
- A mysterious inscription, homo fuge—"man, flee"—appears on his arm. Uh, flee?
- Where exactly is Faustus supposed to flee to? He knows that if he flies to heaven, God will throw him down to hell.
- Well this isn't good. Mephistopheles fetches a parade of devils to distract Faustus.
- Which of course works (our Faustus sure is an easy target). Enchanted by what he has seen, he reads aloud his contract with Lucifer, gives it to Mephistopheles, and asks the devil to tell him the quickest way to hell. And they say men don't like to ask for directions!
- Mephistopheles is all, duh, dude, hell is where the damned are. When the world ends, all places that are not heaven will be hell.
- And when Faustus tells good ol' Meph that hell sounds like an old fable to him, Meph's all, hello? I'm a devil. Of course hell exists. Where do you think I came from?
- Time to change the subject: Faustus commands Mephistopheles to fetch him a wife.
- Then, when Mephistopheles comes back with a "woman devil" Faustus rejects her, prompting Meph to tell Faustus to forget about marriage in favor of sex.
- Then he gives Faustus a book of magic spells.

Online can be local tooDecember 05,2013
Online can be local too
Perhaps Gov. Peter Shumlin and Rep. Peter Welch should rethink when you buy online, youre not supporting Vermont. Im speaking for other enterprising Vermonters who contribute to the states economy via online merchandising.
Im a native Vermonter and film producer who proudly creates and sells state history, documentary DVDs online as www.vermontmadevideos.com.
These four-season Vermont products are made by Vermonters, about Vermonters. With the click of a TV remote, we have transported viewers through adventures and anecdotes from a variety of people ranging from former Gov. Philip Hoff to noted historians and regular everyday folks. Several hundred Vermonters have escorted viewers to places and events in 47 productions over the past decade. Though these DVDs can be purchased in some local stores, museums and appearances at local shows (we support Winooski High School Dollars For Scholars train show every year), the majority of sales now come from the website.
So, how do we contribute to the local economy and leave nearly every dollar in Vermont? Vermont-based Tamarack Media creates and maintains the website, local media specialist Paul Gittlesohn and his Videosyncracies employees author, master, duplicate and Photoshop our beautiful DVD covers and discs.
My small advertising budget has been spent on local radio, newspapers and some Vermont-themed websites. Orders ship from the local post office, and physical storefronts such as Coins & Hobbies, Rock of Ages and Vermont Historical Society carry some of our DVDs. Our video-gathering road trips support convenience stores, restaurants and overnight lodging. You get the idea. Without the web sales, this would come to an end.
Yes, Virginia, there is a local web-based Santa Claus. One does not have to possess a brick-and-mortar storefront to contribute to the states economy, and websites can be a good thing.

Joy Formidable's live show can't match studio sound
The Joy Formidable delivered a blistering set at Summerfest last July Fourth. But something's changed since that hot summer night: The Welsh alternative rock trio's studio ambitions and accomplishments have outgrown its live capabilities.
The band returned to Milwaukee Tuesday to perform at a surprisingly spacious Turner Hall Ballroom. (Perhaps the Tuesday date turned people off? Or maybe the band's played the market too many times recently?) For Tuesday's 90-minute set, it had new material to share from its bold January album, "Wolf's Law." »Read Full Article(6)
Kitten, Max Schneider, O.A.R., David Nail, Umphrey's McGee, The Wild Feathers
The U.S. Cellular Connection Stage was nearly packed for the 8 p.m. start time by Los Angeles band Kitten, even if most of the crowd was there for the Neighbourhood's 10 p.m. slot, if band T-shirts were any indicator. »Read Full Article
Outkast and Gary Clark Jr. at Marcus Amphitheater
Technically speaking, Outkast is a nostalgia act.
The Southern hip-hop duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi, who took the stage together Sunday at a mostly full Marcus Amphitheater for Summerfest, is touring after a seven-year hiatus in celebration of its 20th anniversary, with no new music together to promote. »Read Full Article(4)
Country star David Nail coming to Summerfest
When David Nail released "Whatever She's Got" last year, there was something different about the country star.
After releasing two albums rife with often darker, melancholy themes, Nail was singing brighter, bouncier and happier than ever on the song that would top the country charts and even dip into the pop top 40. »Read Full Article

I lost alot amount of money and wasted alot of time with this company and I had to get an Lawyer. Needless to say I only got back about a quarter of my total investment. Contract lawyers are very expensive and unless you have great evidence of how they rip you off the chances are you will not get any money back. They have quite a big racket going on all over the country.I now have my own business and I've learned a hard lesson.
My only hope is that I can spare others from going through what I had to put up with Jan-Pro of SW fla.They tell you alot of lies to get you to sign up. They acually have a radio commerical that tells people they will make 200,000 a year. This is all misleading. I know of 5 other ex-franchises that were also ripped off by Jan-pro commercial cleaning of SW fla, and I am positive there are many more but they try to keep you away from the other franchises so you can't find out about their underhanded ways.Be smart get out and do your own marketing get your own cleaning accounts.

Mobile Game Mania!
By Lin Parkin
June 4, 2014
I'm always excited to get VO opportunities via email from Voices.com because you never know what good thing will happen.
I'd done video games before, but this opportunity was unique in that they were looking for someone to actually engage, communicate with and even tease the player -not just play a character in a story.
Not only did I enjoy auditioning, but when selected I was encouraged by the customer to 'have fun with it.'
The result was a lot of joy while working along with new clients/friends who reside in another hemisphere!
Thanks, Voices.com, for really bringing the global community together - for a good time!

The passage of bills that would help children with disabilities, preserve rights of victims in criminal cases, and fight for the rights of the unborn highlighted another busy week in the Senate. As Thursday marked day 40 of our 60-day legislative session in Frankfort, we are still anxiously awaiting a budget bill from our colleagues in the House.
As college basketball fans prepare for the postseason, it's worth pointing out that the final few weeks of a legislative session are not that much different from March Madness.
The pace in both cases is hectic; time is a factor; and bills, like the teams, either move forward or see their run end early.
The key difference is that, while the men's and women's NCAA tournaments end with a single winner, a legislative session can have many shining moments.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a local pastor, Larry Silverman, of New Covenant Grace Fellowship.
Shortly after that I was dusting my bookcase and found a book Larry wrote, "The River is Here."
The river in the title is taken from something Jesus said: "Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart'" (John 7:38, New Living Translation).
As the Senate eagerly awaits a budget proposal from the House of Representatives, we are busy passing bills both out of committee and through the Senate to send to our House colleagues during the eighth week of the 2016 Kentucky General Assembly.
When it comes to the public's safety and well-being, consumer protection may not always grab the headlines, but that doesn't diminish its importance.
It was the key theme last week in the Kentucky House, which moved forward not one but four bills touching on this issue.
This is National FFA Week, so I wanted to let Kentuckians know how important FFA is to me.
Growing up on a farm in central Kentucky, where my family has lived and farmed for more than 200 years, I proudly wore the blue corduroy jacket as an active member of Scott County High School's FFA chapter.
FFA is important to Kentucky because it prepares our next generation of farmers and agricultural leaders. Who knows? A future Kentucky commissioner of agriculture might be a member of FFA right now, just as I was.
Ask a group of restaurant servers which is their least favorite shift to work and their number one answer will be Sunday after church.
It seems we churchgoers are a cranky bunch when we're hungry, and that's putting it politely.
Their consensus of us is that we're demanding and rude. We sit in large groups and stay longer than we should, discussing the morning's sermon (or latest church gossip), commenting on the heathens at the nearby table drinking Bloody Marys.
Heated floor speeches, huge committee hearings, and the observance of Presidents' Day highlighted the seventh week of the 2016 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. As we have passed the halfway point of this session, the countdown begins as we in the Senate anticipate the forthcoming 2016-2018 budget bill from the House of Representatives.
There was no shortage of bill movement in the Senate this week as we passed two of our priority bills, Senate Bill (SB) 1 and SB 5.

ORU Analyses of Immigrant Earnings in Australia, with International Comparisons
This paper examines the way immigrant earnings are determined in Australia. It uses the overeducation/required education/undereducation (ORU) framework (Hartog, 2000) and a decomposition of the native-born/foreign-born differential in the payoff to schooling developed by Chiswick and Miller (2008). This decomposition links overeducation to the less-than- perfect international transferability of immigrants' human capital, and undereducation to favorable selection in immigration. Comparisons are offered with findings from analyses for the US and Canada to enable assessment of the relative impacts of favorable selection and the limited international transferability of human capital to the lower payoff to schooling for the foreign born. The sensitivity of the results of the decomposition to several measurement issues is assessed.

What should I say about this ad?? It´s pretty infant, a way going completely against the product´s target. Anyway, the concept sucks.

The Thermal Transformation Arrest Phenomenon in NiCoMnAl Heusler Alloys
AbstractIn this report, we present findings of systematic research on NiCoMnAl alloys, with the purpose of acquiring a higher thermal transformation arrest temperature (TA). By systematic research, TA in the NiCoMnAl alloy systems was raised up to 190 K, compared to the highest TA of 130 K in NiCoMnIn. For a selected alloy of Ni40Co10Mn33Al17, magnetization measurements were performed under a pulsed high magnetic field, and the critical magnetic field-temperature phase diagram was determined. The magnetic phase diagram for Ni50-xCoxMn50-yAly was also established. Moreover, from the discussion that the formerly called "kinetic arrest phenomenon" has both thermodynamic and kinetic factors, we suggest a terminology change to the "thermal transformation arrest phenomenon".
