Applied For Disability?
How Can You Check the Status of Your Application?
The natural query that arises after submitting the Social Security Disability claim is the status of the application. Having submitted the application for a Disability claim successfully is only the first step towards reaping the benefits of the efforts that go into it. You must be mentally prepared to wait for a period that may range from 6 to 8 months before the status on the application may be ascertained and that includes both an acceptance of the claim or a denial.
In case the applicant has a severe disability then the approvals may come extremely fast since it is processed through the Quick Disability Determination Program. The waiting period for decision on the disability claim is usually 5 months since most of the disabilities are likely to be cured during this period.
The Need To Check
The above facts make it pertinent that the status of the disability claim be checked periodically to keep you abreast of the developments on the application as also any intervention that may be required from your end. All effort should be made to economize on time wherever possible, from cutting on delays in submission of the claim to feeding in the necessary inputs that may be requested by the Social Security Office or State Disability Determination Services (DDS) office depending on the stage of the processing of the claim.
The number of cases that a Disability Examiner (DE) may be handling at a given point determines the overall speed with which each case shall move forward. The enquiry made for status check on the claim helps in drawing attention of the DE to your case and hence helps in adding speed to the processing of the claim. Incase everything is all right the enquiry will help in zeroing on the coordinates of the claim and incase some link is missing the DE shall inform you about the documents / information required to process the claim any further.
Knowing the Process
Making a mental note of the various stages involved in the processing of the disability claim and the expected timelines for achieving the same is of immense relevance. The knowledge helps the applicant to cope with the delays that may be frustrating at times in the absence of any clue about the whole process hence adding to worries and enquiry traffic at the Social Security Office.
Ways and Means
The update on the Disability claim can be obtained by all the available means which include checking the Internet site, making a phone call, writing to the Social Security Office or visiting in person. The fastest means from the aforementioned choices remains to be the internet since writing or visiting in person may involve a lot more time and calling on the phone may also not yield the expected replies. The means available to check the update on the Disability claim are illustrated as under:
Internet is the fastest means of checking the Disability Claim, and it should be used to get general update on the claim. You can visit official website of the U.S. Social Security Administration at – www.socialsecurity.gov/ for more information. Once on the website, go to the option "Check the Status of Your application" which takes you to "Application Status Information" page wherein you will be required to enter the "Social Security Number" and the "Confirmation Number" in the appropriate fields. Click on the "Next" button once the required fields have been filled, and you will be taken to the relevant page for the information you desire.

Last year Derrick Rose signed a 14-year deal with Adidas worth $260 million, in 2003 LeBron James inked a seven-year deal with Nike that netted him $90 million, and they can both thank Michael Jordan for making it happen. Before the '84-'85 season, David Falk, Jordan's agent, negotiated a five-year deal between MJ and Nike worth $2.5 million, an unheard of amount at the time. In 2009 the Jordan brand surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue.

I called a few times, and got hung up on, got tranferred to an answering machine, got sworn at, and told that they are a customer service company working for many businesses, and even though I had given them my information, they had no access to it.
I was told that I was to receive an activation kit, and when I sent that in with another payment, the card would be sent to me. That wasn't what I heard the first time! This was yesterday. That is my last call to them. It was very wierd how when I told the woman that I had contacted the authorities she began to affect an accent. I called my bank, and now am on my way to changing my bank account to avoid any future charges, and having these current charges reversed. Do not fall for this! I know it is hard, because when they are talking to you they have information which is legit in itself. Over the past few months I have had a spy blocker placed on my computer, and have been cleaning things up here. There is no other possible way they could have gotten the information they had.

Our take: Family Christian, the company that has created the world's first Christian tablet, has targeted Amazon's Kindle Fire as its main competition in the tablet world. The Android-based device is an e-reader but also features movie-watching capabilities, Christian radio stations, and even a Web browser with a family-friendly safe search" function.
Steve Jobs worshippers need not apply.
But if youre looking to get in Gods good graces, or youre simply in the market for a family-friendly tablet, you may want to check out Family Christian's Edifi.
Billed as the worlds first Christian tablet, its genesis came with the inevitable intersection of technology and religion, according to Brian Honorable, a technology supervisor at Family Christian, the group that sells the tablet.
We wanted to be able to offer our customers the ability to use our Holy Bible application, which has 27 different English translations of the Bible, Honorable told FoxNews.com in an interview.
It goes along with our mission: trying to get people closer to God through a tablet.

Every year, we look back at the list of celebrities and world figures that passed in the preceding 12 months -- and we shake our heads.
Why did [insert young celebrity] have to go so soon?
Why couldn't anybody get through to [insert celebrity trainwreck]?
We say things like, "Oh my God, I remember where I was when I heard [insert international luminary] died."
...and "Wow...I didn't know [insert veteran character actor] died this year!"
...and "Man, I am really gonna miss [insert beloved icon]."
It goes that way every year...yet, the collective loss of a different array of movie stars, sports heroes, rock gods and the like over a 365 day stretch always strike us in a different way.
There's no replacing James Gandolfini. Or Lou Reed. Or Stan the Man.
And to say there will never be another Nelson Mandela is trite to the point of ridiculous.
The loss of a Cory Monteith reminds us of how sad a life wasted can be. The death of a Roger Ebert reminds us of how much we can all do when tested. And the death of a Carmine Infantino or an Elmore Leonard or a Michael Ansara show us that a life spent doing what you love is the greatest of achievements.
Take a minute and look over our remembrance of those who left us in 2013...lots of varied and profound lessons to be learned from these men and women.

Hi all,
I was working on a long post (~800 words) that included text, links, graphics and tables. I'm in the habit of frequently clicking on the "update" button in case something unexpected happens. I guess I believed this would save the data in the post in the case of catastrophe.
The WordPress software started behaving very strangely. When I tried to "update," the changes wouldn't show up on the "preview" page. After a few instances of this, I clicked on the "update" button and discovered that 90% of my content just disappeared completely. I wasn't even working on that particular section of the blog, but was trying to resize some tables below the main content. Why would the "update" function suddenly rewrite the database with changes that I did not make (i.e., erase most of the content)?
I'm familiar with backing up my data, however my understanding was the "update" function would preserve any changes made while actively writing/editing a post. The "export" function is like a daily/weekly backup. It seems crazy that I am expected to export my data to an XML file every time I edit a post. I suppose the real question for yours truly is, is it really gone forever? Is there some way of retrieving an older version using an FTP application or cPanel interface? . . .A tired and very disappointed WordPress user. . . AYT

Their written response was "...the prices on our website are lower due to the fact that they are discounted. These prices are for patients who donot have any insurance to file and want to pay at the time of service. We hope this helps to clarify....."
In other words since I have some form of insurance even though this test is not covered they can charge me $38.00 more for the same test. First they admt they jack up prices if you have insurance andsecond they will jack up the price of an individual test on anyone who gets turned down for coverage by their insurance company.

Is it possible to replace the number of the pages (1 2 3 4 >>) instead of "load more entries"?
I think it'd be more convenient for users or readers to choose the exact page instead of loading more entries until they find the (very) old posts they really want to read.
Thanks in advance.

Congress fails. The can is kicked. Cue the finger-pointing at President Obama for failing to lead.
Count me out, this time around.
The collapse of the supercommittee is not Obama's fault. If he had pushed and prodded and cajoled and horse-traded, the likely result would have been the same. Perhaps even worse, in the sense that the partisan digging-in might have been even more entrenched.
For all the eleventh-hour, "where-was-Obama?" moaning, the bipartisan congressional directive to the White House as the supercommittee did its work was simple: Back off.
That's right. The message from both Republican and Democratic members of the group was that presidential involvement could only be counterproductive. The more a particular approach was associated with the president, they argued, the harder it would be for Republicans to embrace it.
Amid the predictable clamor about presidential absence, it's hard to remember that Obama submitted his own proposal to the supercommittee -- much to the consternation of some Democratic members.
The president's plan was disappointingly timid and riddled with accounting gimmicks, but it would have gone far beyond the $1.2 trillion in savings that the supercommittee failed to produce. Somehow I don't recall Republicans at the time praising Obama for bravely stepping forward to lead.
The blame game is a dreary enterprise, but if we're destined to play yet another round, let's go back and at least take a more nuanced view of the ledger.
The president's pre-debt ceiling record on dealing with the deficit is not attractive. He was late to the table when members of Congress were pressing for legislation to create a debt commission.
After that effort failed -- a result of unconscionable flip-flopping by Republicans who backed the idea until Obama did -- the president moved to appoint his own panel, chaired by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson. When the group edged astonishingly close to an agreement, the president did nothing to help.
Then, most infuriatingly, once the commission delivered its report, Obama punted, neither endorsing the recommendations nor offering an alternative.
The president finally engaged under the gun of the debt ceiling, and for this he deserves credit. In his quixotic quest for a grand bargain, Obama displayed a willingness to take on entitlement spending, sending his liberal base into a predictable tizzy.
The bargain went bust, but largely because House Speaker John Boehner could not deliver on the $800 billion in tax revenue he dangled.
Once the supercommittee launched, Obama retreated except for the September submission, delivered with a threat to veto any deal that would cut Medicare without also raising taxes on the wealthy.
Are the president and his political advisers lamenting the supercommittee's failure? No. For them, failure was a perfectly fine option that reinforced their do-nothing Congress message.
Listening to his threat to veto any effort to defuse the trigger mechanism, I wondered whether weighing in so forcefully a week earlier might have helped concentrate the congressional mind.
Perhaps, but what's clear is that committee Democrats moved awfully far in the name of compromise. They offered more in Medicare cuts and accepted less in the way of tax increases than earlier proposals.
For their part, Republicans moved off their position of complete intransigence on taxes. Then they refused to budge. No wonder they've moved to the convenient default: blame Obama.

Poor quality pictures
Many of my pictures taken in Andorra are of poor or very poor quality for the simple reasons: my poor Soviet Smiena 8M camera I used that time and too large contrast between bright white snowy background and even a bit darker objects. It maybe a tourist trap for every ambitious photographer, especially as click-click addicted amatour as I am now :-).
Unique Suggestions: Taking good pictures on white snow in full sun is always very difficult never mind how good and expensive camera you use. You can try to light the object using a flash but it works only for short distance pictures. After this trip in 1994 I changed my camera to a bit better "full-idiot", I mean automatic camera by Kodak which at least had built-in flash.
Fun Alternatives: If your pictures are already almost white and black try to improve them a bit using any editing software but keep in mind that the result can't be satisfied :-(. Rather cut the picture into two: one of light (darker it) and one of dark (lighter it) object.
Avoid taking pictures of objects of large contrast especially around midday. Generally take pictures early in the morning or before sunset to have longer and softer shadows. Around midday better zoom and compose pictures of non-contrasting objects especially in a shadow. Use UV (mountains) and polarising (elimination of non-metallic reflections of water, glass or snow) filter.

Weather conditions!
If you want to go to Andorra keep the weather conditions in mind.
In the summer soon sun can change into thunder and lightning!
If you want to go away check out if all passes are free!
Unique Suggestions: If you are in a bad weather just wait until it is better.
If it is possible look for a safe place.
But don't risk something.
If your pass is not open you have to wait until it is open.
There is no alternative for that.
Fun Alternatives: Always check out the weather conditions before you go on walking trips.
Say to your hotel where you want to go.
If you want to leave check it out before and leave free time when the situation is not clear at all.Related to:

Andorra La Vella - with the...
Andorra La Vella - with the very modest exception of the Barri Antic district - and Escaldes are both tourist traps insofar as both are essentially big shopping centers that seem to be perrenially under construction. You will never see more cranes per square inch, and hear more jackhammers per second, than in these two towns during the day. (One book described Andorra La Vella as 'Hong Kong without the noodle shops.') In a country reputed for its scenery and serenity, Andorra La Vella and Escaldes are the exceptions. To be certain, the shopping is almost all high end - no cheesy souvenier shops here - but it can be overwhelming and is not conducive to peace and quiet, especially during the evening commutes and the weekends. The bottom line is that Andorra La Vella and Escaldes should be viewed as a base camp, not your sole stop in Andorra.Add to your Trip Planner

Andorra is a duty free state with only 2 main roads in. One via France and one via Spain. Each of these has a 'Bordertown' crammed with Booze and ciggy shops. Electronics abound. Bewere!

Andorra la Vella is the capital and only real town of the principality. Its main pre-occupation is retailing duty-free elrctronics and luxury goods.
The suburbs and localities around ARE NOT DUTY-FREE !!
When you reach Andorra for the first time with your car, from Spain (what I did) - you cross suburbs and localities located southern to Andorra la Vella. If you don't speak Spanish or French (English only, like I do), and you want to buy some electronics - NO ONE WILL TELL YOU IT'S NOT DUTY-FREE !!
I bought Sony Digi-Cam (pic attached) in a fair price, I think, but left the place with bad feeling that I could find the same product cheaper only 3-4 KMs away, in Andorra la Vella.Add to your Trip Planner
After purchase there is no money refund......
After purchase there is no money refund, you only get a credit coupon for new purchase in the same store.
I tried to cancel the purchase of the digi-cam, one hour after leaving the store. It took me a long time to find an English-speaking service worker, the manager refused to see me, and they refused to get the digi-cam back and give me money refund, only a credit coupon for alternative purchase in the same store. For most of tourists a credit coupon of 234 Euro is useless, you know.
I went to the central police station to complain, and an officer told me that thr refusal is according to the custom and the rule in Andorra, and you can get money refund only in case of obvious demage or defect/ defecto. Andorra is a member in European Union, and the officer told me that Andorra rule in that case is an exception, AGAINST the EU' rules/law, but EU failed to enforce Andorra to change this custom.Add to your Trip Planner

Kristina Keneally leading the most unpopular Labor government in history
- From: The Australian
- October 29, 2010
- NSW Labor primary support at 23pc
- Coalition set to win by a landslide
- Polling echoes bloodbath of early 90s
THE Keneally government is officially the most unpopular Labor government there has ever been in Australia.
Labor's primary support in NSW has sunk to a disastrous 23 per cent of voters, according to the latest Newspoll, which was conducted exclusively for The Australian over the past two months.
The only lower figure recorded by Newspoll was the National Party government of Mike Ahern in Queensland, which recorded 22 per cent support in 1989 in the aftermath of the Fitzgerald inquiry into police corruption.
The NSW Coalition has double Labor's support at 46 per cent, while the Greens are performing strongly on 17 per cent.
For the first time, Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell has opened up a clear lead on Kristina Keneally as preferred premier, by 42 per cent to 35 per cent.
If repeated at the election next March, the figures will result in a landslide win for Mr O'Farrell.
Labor's primary support in NSW is down two points from the Newspoll conducted in July and August.
On 25 per cent primary support, NSW Labor was equal in unpopularity to Victorian Labor in late 1990 and early 1991, when former premier John Cain lost control of the public sector unions and was replaced by Joan Kirner.
A year later, Labor fell to the same low under former premier John Bannon in South Australia, after the collapse of the State Bank.
In two-party-preferred terms, the Coalition leads Labor by 63 per cent to 37 per cent. This is the largest split recorded by Newspoll, with the exception of federal Labor's lead over the Coalition at the height of Kevin Rudd's popularity at the beginning of 2008.
The poll follows a Victorian Newspoll, published exclusively in The Australian yesterday, that showed the Coalition narrowing Labor's two-party-preferred lead by six points to 52 per cent to 48 per cent.
There is no better news for Ms Keneally in terms of her personal popularity, with half of NSW voters now dissatisfied with her, while her satisfaction is steady on 38 per cent.
Mr O'Farrell's satisfaction rating has risen five points to 48 per cent, while his dissatisfaction is also steady, on 32 per cent.

The closing of public roads to force the use of a tollway is such a betrayal of the NSW public - we should vote them out to the last - not one of those xxxxxx should be left standing in parliament. And make an example of what happens to governments that show such utter disrespect/arrogance and incompetance.

AMN Reviews: Brice Catherin – Winterreise
Brice Catherin: Winterreise [pyr065]
Winterreise is composer/cellist Brice Catherin's 40-minute long concerto for cello and small ensemble, recorded at its premier performance in October 2010. Catherin describes this work as having been composed for "cello with specific techniques," which here means the substantial use of triple and quadruple stops. Because these cannot be produced with the standard bow, the work calls for the specially-made Bach.bogen bow.
The Bach.bogen is a dramatically curved bow developed by German cellist/composer Michael Bach in 1990, with the involvement of cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. In contrast to a conventional bow, the Bach.bogen's curve allows its user to play polyphonically by sounding one, two, three or four strings at once. Although frequently associated with contemporary experimental music, the bow as conceived goes back to Albert Schweitzer's 1905 book on J.S. Bach, the argument being that a sufficiently curved bow was needed to sound the chords of the composer's solo works for cello and violin. But it's perhaps best known for its use in John Cage's ONE8.
For this premier performance, Catherin played the solo cello. Its parts add up to a kind of inventory of the technical possibilities afforded by the Bach.bogen, from grinding, overpressured chords to polyphonic vibrato to the opposition of rapidly repeated figures on higher strings against drones on the lower strings. The accompanying orchestra is described as a free ensemble, meaning one in which the number of instruments is determined but the choice of instruments is left open. This particular ensemble is made up of a highly diverse group of instruments including multiple saxophones, guitar and bass guitars, violins, percussion, accordions, and even a homemade sitar. The ensemble supports the solo cello with a thick but porous tissue of sound characterized by shifts in color, texture and density rather than by conventional changes in harmony.
Catherin composed Winterreise as the first of three concerti for Bach.bogen cello. It will be interesting indeed to hear the subsequent installments in this series.
Creative Differences Update
From Baltimore's Creative Differences:
Trio Vloeimans/Azmeh/Weber
Lafayette Gilchrist
Thursday December 20 @ 7.30pm
@2640 Space.
2640 St Paul St,Baltimore MD 21201
Eric Vloeimans plays trumpet with such a warm, smooth tone that when he begins a piece in the horn's lower register, it almost sounds more like a flute than a brass instrument. "Smooth," in this case, isn't synonymous with "slick" or "commercial" — instead, Vloeimans plays with tranquility and calm in his music.
A native of Holland, Vloeimans has garnered a reputation in both Europe and the United States for his work. Originally a classical trumpeter, he made the switch to jazz while studying at the Rotterdam School of Music, later coming to the U.S. to study with jazz trumpet player Donald Byrd. While he spends most of his time on the Continent, he has performed in America more frequently in the past few years.
Of the trumpeter's two associates on this tour, pianist Florian Weber can lay claim to a wide range of projects. He recently released Biosphere, an album under his own name in which he straddled his own progressive originals with interpretations of modern rock and pop songs. Frequently playing both acoustic and electric pianos simultaneously, Weber gave the pop tunes as much weight as his originals. Written in the insane meter of 25/16, Biosphere's title trackproved to be the album's intense centerpiece. Weber also plays in the trio Minsarah, who received a major boost when playing with veteran saxophonist Lee Konitz on his 2010 Live at the Village Vanguard session. Konitz, whose career dates back to Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool, has a reputation for revisiting standards like "All the Things You Are" on a regular basis, finding some new music direction each time. Weber and his crew were an ideal support system.
In Baltimore, the duo will be joined by Kinan Azmeh, a clarinetist from Syria. Much like Vloeimans, he straddles the classical and jazz worlds, having worked with his own group HEWAR, members of the Berlin Philharmonic and percussionist Zakir Hussain.
Doors at 7:30,concert will start at 8 PM. $10 donation requested. This concert will be in the sanctuary space, so please come to the 27th St. entrance.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Photo by ~djohn9
When I saw this Steve Canyon statue over at the Hermes Press blog (they've published a collection of the seven Steve Canyon issues from Dell's Four Color comics), I wondered what the hell a Steve Canyon monument was doing in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Canyon's creator Milton Caniff never lived there, nor does the town figure prominently in the comic strip character's adventures.
The Historic Idaho Springs website doesn't offer many details, saying only that the statue was erected as part of a "publicity stunt" by the area's Jaycees in the '50s. Oddly, the full story is told in the historical archives of a completely different city: Dayton, Ohio. Columnist (and friend of Caniff) Roz Young wrote for the Dayton Daily News for more than 25 years and penned a 1997 article celebrating the 50th anniversary of Caniff's famous character. What's cool about the story is its reminder of just how important comics used to be to the general population in the US.
The article reveals that Idaho Springs was founded as a gold-rush town and for years held a festival to commemorate its roots until the celebration was abandoned during the Depression. After WWII, the town's Junior Chamber of Commerce wanted to start a new festival, but instead of focusing on the town's history, they decided to capitalize on the relationship between their natural geography and the last name of Caniff's popular, new fictional character. In 1947, only a few months after Steve Canyon made his first appearance in newspapers, Idaho Springs renamed nearby Squirrel Gulch as Steve Canyon and Caniff himself attended the ceremony. The dedication and its accompanying festival was such a success that three years later the Indiana Limestone Company donated the statue as a memorial to all servicemen. The US Air Force Reserve shipped it for free and Caniff again attended the dedication.
But without any real ties to the community, the Steve Canyon memorial became less important as time went on. By 1997, when Young wrote her anniversary article, the statue didn't even appear in the town's "Things to Do and See" brochure and only Idaho Springs' oldest residents even knew who Canyon was. Young's article is worth reading, particularly as a cautionary tale about the fleeting nature of popular art and comics; especially newspaper comics. Fourteen years later, as the newspaper and comics industries are both undergoing extreme transitions, Caniffs observation that "anything you or I do in the newspapers will not last" is as gut-punchingly relevant as ever.
Nice article. Makes me want to buy that plane ticket for Idaho Springs…
How do you sum up the story of Steve Canyon?
The series ran far too long to sum up easily, but briefly, Canyon was a WWII Veteran who has adventures (the strip, like it's predecessor Terry and the Pirates) are full of high adventure. Eventually he goes back to work for the Air Force as a trouble-shooter. A little googling will get you much more, or you can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Canyon. Personally, I prefer Terry and the Pirates, but both series are great fun.
This reminds me of a personal observation of what was once important is discarded by the future generations.
If you've ever seen the titles of Miami Vice, you'll see a building with a palm tree in its center. That is part of the row of condos on Brickell Avenue. On the ocean side of Brickell, about a tenth of a mile north east from that building and next to the same architect's first building called "The Babylon" stood a large old style, probably turn of the century, wood-frame house. It was unoccupied as far as I could tell, but as I was taking pictures of The Babylon, I noticed a ship's mast out in front of this house. On it was written USS MAINE. Here was a piece of the ship that's destruction in Havana Harbour was the impetus for a war with Spain. A very important piece of history, possibly the only surviving piece of a ship that at the time was the pride of the Navy, that was taken away, scrapped, when the house was demolished for another luxury hi-rise all because it was forgotten and its importance no longer had resonance for today.

|Structural Basis for Inactivation of Giardia lamblia Carbamate Kinase by Disulfiram
|April 11, 2014
|Carbamate kinase from Giardia lamblia is an essential enzyme for the survival of the organism. The enzyme catalyzes the final step in the arginine dihydrolase pathway converting ADP and carbamoyl phosphate to ATP and carbamate. We previously reported that disulfiram, a drug used to treat chronic alcoholism, inhibits G. lamblia CK and kills G. lamblia trophozoites in vitro at submicromolar IC50 values. Here, we examine the structural basis for G. lamblia CK inhibition of disulfiram and its analog, thiram, their activities against both metronidazole-susceptible and metronidazole-resistant G. lamblia isolates, and their efficacy in a mouse model of giardiasis. The crystal structure of G. lamblia CK soaked with disulfiram revealed that the compound thiocarbamoylated Cys-242, a residue located at the edge of the active site. The modified Cys-242 prevents a conformational transition of a loop adjacent to the ADP/ATP binding site, which is required for the stacking of Tyr-245 side chain against the adenine moiety, an interaction seen in the structure of G. lamblia CK in complex with AMP-PNP. Mass spectrometry coupled with trypsin digestion confirmed the selective covalent thiocarbamoylation of Cys-242 in solution. The Giardia viability studies in the metronidazole- resistant strain and the G. lamblia CK irreversible inactivation mechanism show that the thiuram compounds can circumvent the resistance mechanism that renders metronidazole ineffectiveness in drug resistance cases of giardiasis. Together, the studies suggest that G. lamblia CK is an attractive drug target for development of novel antigiardial therapies and that disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug, is a promising candidate for drug repurposing.

I've searched (forum and codex) and I have not found the answer to my specific question. The only post that mentioned a similar problem is 6 months old and is still unresolved.
I have installed WP locally (using Xampp) to conduct tests and design my own theme (tweaking an existing theme).
I am teaching myself all the necessary skills (tags, PHP, CSS, etc) on the run - admitedly I'm a newbie in all that, so bear with me.
So that I can test all possibilities of my theme as I tweak it, it would be interesting to have some kind of sample database with a dozen or so posts, with comments, links, pages, etc. I'm thinking something like the very database used in this site's "Theme Viewer"...
Is anything like that available now, or is there anyway to (I don't know if the word is correct in English) 'leech' that sample database Theme Viewer uses?
I guess you could tell me to move my *ss and build one mock database myself, but it would take forever (given my tech knowledge) and it would never be as comprehensive as, say, ThemeViewer's...
(I've written to the admins of Theme Viewer as well asking about their mock database...)
Thanks. Looking forward to your answer.
