First, we have a veteran pro bowl right tackle. we all know that a majority of the sacks given up last year were from poor production from that position.
Second, we will be running the ball alot more. The offense will keep it simple and grind it out with Frank Gore and Glen Coffee. While Moran Norris, Gore's favorite lead blocker is back. I'm not sure why they ever let him go in the first place. It must have been something to do with Mike Martz and his pass happy scheme.
Finally, and probably the most important thing is Rumblin Fumblin J.T. O'Sullivan is now history.
Does anyone else agree?

The German ocean carrier's shareholders of Friday approved all items on the agenda for the annual meeting, most notably including the approval of new authorized share capital, which will be used toward the merger with UASC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion for fiscal year 2017, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2016.
With 13 of the top 20 container lines reporting combined losses of $2.5 billion in the first half alone, industry losses will likely range from $8 billion to $10 billion for the full year, according to Lars Jensen, CEO of SeaIntelligence Consulting.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The voyage data recorder from the U.S.-flag cargo ship that sank Oct. 1, 2015 near the Bahamas was in good condition and revealed bridge audio, weather data and navigational data.
Container volumes in the transpacific trade between Asia and West Coast North America jumped 5.5 percent year-over-year in the first six months of 2016, while Asia-Europe volumes ticked up 1.1 percent, according to the London-based maritime consultant.
The South Korean ocean carrier submitted a financial improvement plan to the state-run Korea Development Bank Thursday, but did not reveal details on the plan.

The vodka and tomato-juice based drink is decked out in celery, scallions, pickles, olives, shrimp, lemons, grape tomatoes, sausage, cheese wedges, brussel sprouts, pickled onions, pickled mushrooms and bacon-wrapped jalapeño cheese balls.

Yesterday i experienced numerous of bugs after a Linux Mint upgrade (a suggested auto update) where linux kernel fails hangs @ update initramsfs or something like.
I tried to reinstall a kernel but all the versions (3.3.4 stable; 3.4 etc...) fails to install because of the "initramfs installation hang bug".
Then i was unable to boot because of some commands i picked on the internet that removed the initrd file.
This is why i suggest to lock the kernel version by default for further versions.
"Updating a kernel" is like "installing a new driver on linux" (something "impossible to do" for most people) so this should be a manual task for advanced users (Open synaptic-->search for "linux-image"-->"unlock version")

Re: [Enh] Kernel version locked by default
Ouch, that sounds like a unwelcome problem. If you got an update yesterday, I guess you are not using LMDE but the Linux Mint Main Edition? By default, that does not install kernel updates unless you have enabled level 4 and 5 updates in the Update Manager.
Possibly, if you have added some PPA or repository for a newer kernel, you may get a kernel update that way?

An epithet indolently and disrespectfully bandied about in contemporary discourse on Nigerian affairs centers on the notion that President Jonathan is 'clueless'. On the Nigerian Village Square (NVS), a supposed repository of some of the finest thinkers, one seeks to engage in dialogue on national issues but attempts at discourse very quickly become mired in maudlin mutterings as those who make that statement attempt, unsuccessfully, to swamp those they perceive to be 'beneficiaries' of the present administration with sobriquets. Rather than persist in pointless polemics, one sought an objective basis for assessing the president's performance on the first anniversary of his ascension to Nigeria's presidency and was reminded of a thread on the NVS where members had contributed THEIR ideas and suggestions to the then incoming president.
The thread and contributions can be seen here, the resulting wiki document can be seen here and the final pdf document here. A review is helpful.
NVS Members Priorities
A poll summarized the following headings as indicative of NVS members' priorities in the approximate proportions below and these form the basis for assessment and discussion:
|Electricity/Energy Improvement
|Justice/Security Issues
|Revitalize our Educational System
|Lay Groundwork for the future
|The Economy
|Open Governance
|Come to Terms with the past
|Foreign Policy & Nigerians Abroad
|Interaction with the Public
Electricity/Energy Issues: This was an 80% priority item to NVS members and, significantly, one of President Jonathan's first actions was to launch the Electricity Road Map whose details can easily be accessed online providing the searcher is actually interested in facts and not foppery. This could indicate that the president shares the priorities purportedly advanced by those who call him 'clueless'. He has gone as far as sending soldiers into electricity installations in attempting to move that sector forward from merely awarding contracts for procuring generation equipment to building an interconnected infrastructure which is hoped to advance the power sector via foreign direct investment and in a way that will prevent the efforts from being reversed in the future. This is akin to what has happened in the telecommunications sector where it would be very difficult to reverse Nigeria to the era of 'telephones are only for the rich'. With alignment on an 80% share of NVS members priorities, what therefore accounts for commentators being so chronically misguided and calling the president clueless?
Justice/ Security Issues: The president appears to be maintaining a scrupulous firewall between the executive, the judiciary and the legislature and therefore justice remains the dominant preserve of the Judiciary. The separation of powers and authorities even led to public disagreements between the executive and legislature about budgeting processes and the passage of bills just before Democracy day 2012. Yet, due to a learned, historical and unhealthy addiction to the 'halcyon days' of 'automatic effect' and 'immediate alacrity', some people wail and complain incessantly and imprudently about the executive branch following 'due process' in many national issues. One can only imagine what would have happened in the fuel subsidy payment situation if the Attorney General had gone ahead to prosecute the case on the schedule of the commentators without proper investigation. It would have been interesting to see Farouk Lawan testifying on behalf of both the prosecution and the defence.
A full 38% of the 2012 budget is dedicated to Security amidst a simmering conflict that 'coincided' with President Jonathan's victory in an election that, while imperfect, was seen to be largely free, fair and broadly representational of the electorate's wishes. In response to the mayhem primarily occurring in certain areas of Northern Nigeria, certain commentators on and away from NVS might advocate that the president satisfies their blood lust. They recommend indiscriminate conversion of some of those regions into 'parking lots', and killing their innocent Nigerian brethren by the thousand, akin to the actions of at least one of his predecessors. Curiously, they voice these 'powerful', 'progressive' opinions while viewing events from afar and maintaining the option to cower in the ephemeral safety of their foreign haunts. Fortunately, President Jonathan is not inspired by that flavor of idiocy. Boko Haram and their backers - the instigators of the murders and mayhem - hardly receives the type of caustic criticism reserved for the president and interestingly, even when news of government attacks, killing or capture of Boko Haram members emerges, it is largely discountenanced by the 'professional' critics and the media who choose, instead, to embrace and uphold the actions of the murderous sect as their evidence of the president's purported 'cluelessness'. Again, what gives?
Educational System: 30% of responders on NVS urged the president to revitalize the educational system. When considered side by side with many other competing interests in the 2012 budget, the education sector had the second highest priority, attracting 16% of the total budget. In recognition of the challenge presented by a large uneducated population of youths, seemingly doomed to a childhood of hunger and adulthood of hopelessness, the president has inaugurated 'almajiri' schools to address a long-standing problem, baked into segments of Nigerian society far in excess of the 50-odd years of Nigerian 'independence'. When the president mentioned facts that allude to the long-standing problems of Nigeria, a firestorm of thoughtless criticism erupted wherein he was called everything but a 'child of God'. His attempt to provide a certain segment of the population with alternatives for the future can be likened to the single step that apocryphally begins every thousand mile journey.
Groundwork for the future: 21% of NVS responders expected Nigeria's economy to be diversified from the oil & gas mono-culture. From available news sources, one of the president's priorities is improving employment via the agricultural sector. He has encouraged efforts by the agriculture minister to rationalize the entire agriculture value chain and results are already emerging. Even within the oil/gas sector, he in intent on increasing local content involvement. Combined with improvements in energy supply and distribution, educational improvements etc. hope begins to emerge for the future. The health sector has also received attention in terms of actionable policies that are aimed at improving the indices of human existence in Nigeria. However, he is but a single individual and no one person can move Nigeria from where it is to where it needs to be. The responsibility of the populace is to contribute beneficial ideas and actions to the collective rather than reflexive criticisms, bile and bitterness.
The Economy: This sector attracted the focus of merely18% of NVS respondents, a surprisingly low number in my view, considering that some of them are currently ensconced in 'greener pastures' in other climes, many for economic reasons. Economies, by their very nature are highly individual but interdependent, as the contemporary Euro crises and even American economies illustrate. Even the 'Asian giants' increasingly glance over their shoulders while reassessing their economic fundamentals. With that in mind and considering Nigeria's historical economic dysfunction, the president chose not to coast through his presidency and push the problem of unsustainable budgetary structures to the next leader. Although he stood to gain nothing politically, he had the courage to take on a rent-seeking 'subsidy payment' ecosystem and that alone should have merited nothing but the highest praise.
What emerged instead? Those who should have commended him were instead assembled in bogus groups, under the guise of 'occupying Nigeria' and they would have been successful if indeed the expanse and entireity of Nigeria and the diversity of her many peoples could be equated to a small landscaped triangular depression adjacent to a landfill on the outskirts of Lagos. There, for a series of 'free' concerts, obsolete and embittered personalities sought to reinvigorate their flagging notoriety and in their myopia, embraced the folly of the national assembly 'hurrying' to convene on a Sunday without passing a SINGLE resolution to reduce THEIR obscene emoluments. Subsequently, the president has effected reductions of certain categories of salaries that are under his direct authority by 25%. Again, the thousand mile journey can be referenced and the question of just who is 'clueless' revisited.
When a single item (oil) is responsible for about 90% of a nation's economic activity, it may be inferred that it is an inspiration for nearly 100% of the possible corruption therein. It emerged that this corruption was routinely enacted in the form of false invoicing and payments for petroleum products never imported. Since the drama of January 2012, we have learned that the 59-odd million liters of fuel purportedly consumed daily in Nigeria has fallen to about 35 million liters – surely not a mere coincidence, especially when viewed against the finance ministry's determination to 'scrutinize' the payment regime closely. Threats abound of 'fuel shortages' and in a dynamic economy there may yet be shortages, but sanity appears to be flirting with that sector. It is early days yet but in hindsight, and with the emergence of the scandal involving Femi Otedola and Farouk Lawan, few sentient beings now object to the concept of rationalizing the petroleum industry's downstream sector.
The government establishes, communicates and works towards economic targets of reducing recurrent expenditure and when the news recently emerged that Nigeria's external reserves had attained a 21 month high, I pondered how this could be, under a 'clueless' president. Even the perception of daily corruption (induced by the soul-searing exchange of small change between citizens and the police) has reduced after the Inspector General (appointed by this president) instituted changes to the road block policy. Still 'clueless'?
The issues of Open Governance, Coming to terms with the past, Foreign policy & Nigerians Abroad, and Interaction with the public, attracted 16%, 16%, 5% and 5% of NVS respondents attention respectively. We now know the names of companies and the amounts being paid as fuel 'subsidy'. Unprecedented in the history of Nigeria. We also know that the refineries have been handed back to their original makers for maintenance rather than to a Turn Around Maintenance 'cabal' that refused to fix them. It is possible to point to the Freedom of Information Bill, the honoring of Ojukwu at his burial, the honoring of Abiola after 19 years, the government's reaction to South Africa over yellow fever vaccine mass deportations, the evacuation of Nigerian citizens in Ivory Coast and Libya under threat from conflict, the Nigeria/UK airline landing slot saga, the foreign airline pricing discrepancies, the new visa regime to encourage foreign direct investment and many ministerial briefings and addresses as indicators of meaningful motion in these various directions. The government stopped awarding contracts at the Federal Executive Council without proper design and documentation in place to avoid the specter of project cost inflation and/or project abandonment. Many other items exist to be addressed in the nation but governance, worldwide, is a matter of establishing and pursuing priorities. This means that a person elected into office possesses the prerogative of pursuing items they deem to be priorities during their term of office. I imagine we each will benefit from that presumption of prioritizing if or when we attain positions of authority.
Can every index of national progress be improved? The answer to that question is a resounding YES, and longsuffering Nigerians have a right to expect speedy progress on all indices. However, on reflection, one question that emerges is exactly what responsibility individual Nigerians ascribe to THEMSELVES in advancing the development indices of the country? How many have actually applied for actionable information using the Freedom of Information Act? Or would that seem too much like actual WORK? Has the psyche of the average Nigerian been so debased over time by a succession of violent, visionless and vacuous 'leaders' that he is incapable of independent thought and assessment? Is it impossible for many to actually observe what is going on in real time in the country and analyze it for themselves? Is it impractical to sit up, shut out the echo chamber that passes for 'common knowledge' and engage in actions that actually produce results and not relentless recrimination? Or is it just easier to exert zero intellectual effort, receive and slothfully consume the dregs that emerge from bitter, twitter 'activists' and online 'reporters'?
When will the 'social media influencers' inform and direct their 'followers' ire and attention to those who actually affect them on a daily basis? People like their garbage collectors and their dog catchers? Their ward chairmen, state assembly members, local government chairmen, representatives and senators in the national assembly and their governors? Is it benign intellectual indolence that confines social media 'mavens' to pathetic, personality-based, pot shots at the president or is it craven cowardice and a desire to billow in the backwaters of zero personal responsibility? Are they addicted to the cheap allure of high-fives from their doting followers that result from their ineffective, lowest denominator, crowd-pleasing screeds? It is no longer enough to say 'they' said so-and-so. Who is 'they' and how or why should they know more than you or me? With the surfeit of information available in a Google-enabled world, there is simply no excuse for so many people to be willfully ignorant and depend on 'others' opinions to arrive at their own conclusions. Personal responsibility for obtaining, assessing and analyzing information for oneself is a fundamental human requirement of the 21st century.
Increasingly, many commentators in the public domain appear to base their contributions, opinions and attribution of the term 'clueless' to President Jonathan not on easily available and verifiable facts or analysis but on misplaced sentiments du jour. While entitled to their opinions they should realize that national progress will not emerge from the corrosive contents of their hearts but from the creative output of their pens and keyboards. A venerable African proverb reminds each person pointing a finger of responsibility at someone else that at least four are pointing back at them. When President Jonathan's priorities and performance after year one of four are assessed side by side with items that some NVS members themselves declared to be their priorities, it quickly becomes evident that many who ignorantly, impotently and impudently emote the term 'clueless' are chronically craving a clue themselves.

Bliss free me na!
But seriously though, I would have thought we would have all realised by now that the parties are just platforms for good and bad politicians. They hold no real ideology, and they follow different agendas at the different levels of government.
Our democracy is still evolving, our political parties still subservient to the whims and caprices of their founders and financiers. As citizens we choose our political parties like we choose our football teams: superficially. Pursuing an anti-PDP crusade is folly. Focus instead on the individual, and hold the individual accountable.
Tongue firmly ensconced in cheek, I dare to suggest that GEJ's failings should be his, and his alone. Leave the PDP out of it.

That is in addition to the fact that we have over 80million other Nigerians who can deliver if they have the opportunity. I guess the likes of Awolowo, Zik, Aminu Kano were not Nigerians. I guess also that we dont have serious minded Nigerians who can run the country. Before Rawlings struck in Ghana, the lazy ones were chorusing " they are all the same" . Today's reality runs counter to such pedestrian and destructive way of thinking. If we are to accept that they are all the same , then we accept our fate and put our brains to rest the way they put dogs to rest.
They are not all the same. We are not all the same and no condition is permanent!

Yes, because you have not allowed yourself to see those changes. Contact anyone in Ekiti- my own state, and ask them the difference in governance between the PDP years and ACN ones- and the difference is as clear as water. Omo, you can hype your PDP for all it is worth, the people of Edo ( a state where we could barely make way through Benin to Warri back in the day, courtesy of Igbinnedion looting) under PDP and ACN. Talking about Fashola, I give any PDP governor the challenge: Match him! Let us start with Security- even your Jonathan need to get schooled on how you keep a state safe..Fashola can teach him. I drive at 2am in Lagos, can I do the same in any PDP state? Even less populated ones!

However voting is over and today GEJ represents not only PDP but the whole country. In Nigeria party supremacy is enshrined in the constitution of most of the political parties and when it comes to governance it is more about the party and less about the individual.
GEJ simply confirmed what people already know about PDP. A prominent Nigerian once referred to the party as a "nest of killers"
With the way GEJ is going, the loss is not personal to him alone, PDP has just added a few more medals to its well known infamy!

BINGO!!!! Very well said. the faster Nigerians learn this, the better, but are they learning? I wonder. But as you know, you need not wait until 2015. This is why we are supposed to have an opposition in the National Assembly. Their role to to keep the Executive and majority party in check. Are they doing that?
But considering the fact that we have Legislooters, is anyone in there in the opposition really trying to look out for the interests of Nigerians? Or their own pocket? Several villagers have noted that the opposition parties in Nigeria are yet to reject the largess they get in the National Assembly.
Maybe it it was from Her $1.3 million salary that Mama Senator Tinubu distributed $132 (pere) to the traders in her district...

Valteena, you can read this. It is called using fear to manipulate people . Happy reading : http://www.psychologicalharassment.com/psychological_manipulation.htm
I guess you are now using fear of "all of them are the same" to manipulate us in a psychological manner. This is a potent tool to force us to resign to fate and accept whatever comes from your hero - Mr clueless

Exactly my point about changing one rogue party for the other. The next rogue party comes carry on the mismanagement and corruption from where the other left. And we continue to shout and criticize and then sweep them out of power, bring in the next and the circle continues. This is what has been happening with political governance in Nigeria even including the intermittent military intervention. Why can't we insist on evolving a system that will make whatever rogue party that is in power work for the populace to some degree.

You said without fear of the corrupt system. Okay now let try and be honest with ourselves for a minute. Name me ONE credible Nigerian who can run for president in 2015 AND win in all 36 states. That is the crux of the issue, winning in at least 24 states to clinch the presidency
AND do not forget that it is not as if the corrupt politicians are going to sit down in a corner and watch you sweep the county and egunge away from under their feet, so will this credible candidate be able to fight the good fight?
How about a few names? I can only come up with one possibility: Nuhu Ribadu and we know that fellow like Igboamaeze believe the man is far from credible. So the associated question is how do you determine who is credible?

And where are those parties in the scheme of things in Nigeria today? There is reality and there is wishful thinking. I prefer to deal with reality.
Let me add that if you can make those other parties relevant then you can make any rogue party in power work for the country. And why not concentrate on making an existing structure work so that a precedent is laid for others to follow

Obesity in Children has nothing to do with fast food, 16 oz cokes, McD's or french fries.
First, citing DHHS and CDC immediately raises red flags in your arguement. Your arguement automatically assumes their studies are of the truth, unbiased, and one with authority. Second, your say that government can solve this problem by eliminating consumer choices, telling us what we can and can not eat. The government strong arms schools and their cafeteria's by threatening no funding if you don't do this or that.
This is not the answer. Consumer choices should never be compromised.
I was hoping you would say that fast food has been around since the 1960's. There was no childhood or adult obesity problems then, nor in the 70's and 80's. so why now. what has changed.
I was hoping you would link obesity to the lack of physical activities children do. One has to wonder if the amazing growth of xbox, ps2, pc computers, laptops, tablets, is connected to obsesity. Games that you need screens and in order to play them, you have to sit for hours in front of screens. the addiction kids have to "get to the next level"
I don't think you have to become a rocket scientists to figure this one out or fall back and rely on tainted government studies, or cite some environmental influences from some professor.
Obesity today is directly tied to this, the lack of "kids go out and play until dark".
Thats what they did in the 60s.70s and 80's..30 years can't be wrong. I am getting hungry now and am going out to get a big mac, fries and a vanilla shake…oh..so good, and yes, supersize the fries.
The power of choice for consumers should never be compromised.

Technology is a vital part of students' lives: 92 percent of teens say they go online daily and 24 percent say they are logged in "almost constantly." One challenge for schools has been overcoming the perception that social media monitoring jeopardizes student privacy.
From DA
Schools step up social media monitoring
Transgender rights: What administrators need to know
The rights of transgender students in K12 schools became explicitly clear in a directive issued by the U.S. Department of Education and Department of Justice in May. Schools must let transgender students use the restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity, not what's listed on birth certificates, the Obama administration says.
31 states introduce student data privacy bills
Laws already passed in 2016 focus on data governance, transparency and leadership.
What's behind bad student behavior?
Students who end up in detention more than just once or twice may be hungry for any kind of attention because they crave a relationship with a teacher or are neglected—or worse—at home, says Fred Hanna, author of the book Therapy with Difficult Clients.
"You will settle for bad food sometimes if that is all you can get," says Hanna, who has taught classes about challenging teens at Johns Hopkins University. "For some kids, poor-quality attention is better than none at all."/p>

Skip to comments.Madonna booed after touting Obama in La. Concert
Posted on 10/28/2012 2:25:49 PM PDT by Dallas59
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Madonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concertgoers after she touted President Barack Obama on her "MDNA Tour" in New Orleans.
The Material Girl asked during Saturday night's performance: "Who's registered to vote?" She added: "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama." Drawing boos in touting Obama over Republican Mitt Romney, Madonna followed: "Seriously, I don't care who you vote for ... Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote."
(Excerpt) Read more at music.yahoo.com ...
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste
What a waste
She should know Obama supporters can't afford her tickets.
You can say that again!!
Shut your legs & your political pie-hole & sing biatch!
Romney appears to already have Oregon, it would be crazy if he carried California too.
And this happened in the "Chocolate City" LOL
The quintessential slut speaks again.
>>She should know Obama supporters cant afford her tickets.
Of course they can. They can afford iPhones, dubs, jewelry, Nikes, "Official" NBA/NFL appparel, etc.
They just need "assistance" with rent, food, gas, education, and utilities.
I feel contempt for people going to see her shows. Madonna has a history of doing this.
Need eye wash after reading the comments...lol.
Let me be the first to say what a waste...
Have skank, will travel.
Well done :)
"Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote."
So, voting's a privilege now? Something our betters allow us to do?
"vote for Obama or I will show you my droopy boobs!"
"Madonna booed after touting Obama..."
That's so sad. /s
I heard she also got booed in France and that the gays are turning on her which is incredible to me being that she was like a God to them (and wouldn't have one iota of a career if it wasn't for them as well.). Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the karaoke frauds, this crap has been going on waaaay too long. Hiring people to write and record music then lip synching to it on stage, freakin' unreal.
Madonna is desperately seeking attention.
Doesn't Madonna live in Europe somewhere?
Booing that old hag is like music to my ears.
She lives in the UK.
Dumb enough to waste money on a corpse in corset. Dumb enough to waste their vote on the fraud occupying the White House.
I'm surprised some nice cleanly dressed young gentlemen with names like Guidry, Boudreaux, Thibodeaux and Naquin didn't visit her dressing room during the show and leave her a 'gift'.... like a bucket of water moccasins.
>>She should know Obama supporters cant afford her tickets.
Of course they can. They can afford iPhones, dubs, jewelry, Nikes, Official NBA/NFL appparel, etc.
They just need assistance with rent, food, gas, education, and utilities.
Dead on.
Bottom line is when the year end official highest grossing tours and highest earning celebrities of the year lists by Forbes are out you will once again see Madonna in first place destroying her younger so called competition. She is set to double her worth to nearly 1 billion with the current tour alone. We should all be such an old washed up hag at 54. Culturally irrelevant and pulling in half a billion dollars? I bet there are many young pop stars who wish they could be so "culturally irrelevant."
Nothing succeeds like success, and nothing else breeds more hostility from the bitter old haters apparently.
very clever
She is only 54?
Oh please, your argument is utter nonsense. I've heard it a million times well before this fraud Madonna became a "billionaire" with her BS: "Oh she makes tons of money and you're a hater"..Please, drug dealers make tons of money. It doesn't change the fact they're sh*tbags. How many people voted for and are voting for Obama? Tons of people yet it doesn't change the fact he's a schmuck and a fraud (who also makes a lot of money just like that other fraud Al Gore). Frankly I'm sick of people like you pushing cr*p like this and legitimizing it by using money as an excuse. Madonna is THE reason why when you turn on the radio today all you get is karaoke performers, one after another and another. Nothing legit. It's because when she became a success, record companies realized that incredibly, people were stupid enough to buy records with really no discernible singer or band or musician..absolutely nothing at all really, just a puppet and a video. Just remember that next time you listen to Top 40 radio.
I agree in a sense that the 80's were the decade where music ultimately started on a path that steered away from the actual music. Image was to become everything. Which 30 years ago actually wasn't that bad, because the images could be multiple, original, vibrant, eccentric and unique. The overuse of beauty and sex, can clearly be connected to the likes of Madonna. I am not blaming her for the stupid decisions of record companies or technology, videos etc - someone would have been there at that moment to change things.
The difference being that you could tell that the visuals that Madonna created were her own ideas and a huge part of her personality. Then Britney came along with "I`m a virgin" in a schoolgirl uniform and a baby voice. ALL INDUSTRY. So even though Madonna was more in charge of her career, she did open the door for Britney and co.
But Madonna has the X factor that can't be bottled — the charisma and uncanny ability to rule the stage regardless of props or dancers. She has the outstandingly strong presence of any legendary singer/entertainer, but she has also managed to elevate pop concerts to the art hybrids we all consider to be the standard nowadays. People would not be paying 300-400 a seat for a 30 year performer if she didn't connect with the audience at a very deep level and have control of the audience in her voice. And record companies would be making serious profits if they could clone her. lol

Fauna Sauna: Far Infrared Healing For Petsby Lady Bee
Animals are instinctively drawn to sunlight as a source of nurturance. Dogs, and especially cats, are notorious sunbathers. That's why the makers of Fauna Sauna are on to something. Fauna Sauna uses the same radiant heat that the sun produces, minus the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, to bring healing to your pet right in your home.

Hi All,
I'm trying to dynamically build a table of contents (TOC) for each "issue" of a magazine site I'm working on. The TOC will only be listed on the "cover" article of the issue.
The way I'm constructing it is to have each issue be in the category "Volumes" and then have each issue number be a separate child category of "Volumes".
The problem I'm having is that while I can determine the category of each issue by using cat_is_ancestor_of I don't know how to put that information then into the get_posts query to list only the specific "issue" category that the TOC is a part of.
Below is the code I've cobbled together. Any help would be appreciated
foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
if (cat_is_ancestor_of(25, $childcat)) { ?>
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'order'=> 'DSC', 'category' => 'echo $childcat->cat_name' );
$postslist = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php }} ?>

I need to have categories, sub-categories... anything that will help to organize this.
I mean categories etc as Folder, directories, so not for the Frontend but needs to be organized on the Backend too.
