Khulna: Despite their convincing victory in the opening Test, West Indies captain Darren Sammy believes his side can still improve further, as they face Bangladesh in the second Test starting Wednesday. The West Indies brushed aside Bangladesh by 77 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka but needed a strong bowling effort after they trailed in the first innings and then also batted poorly on their second turn at the crease.
Speaking ahead of the encounter at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium which is hosting its first ever Test, Sammy said his batsmen were still struggling in the second innings and this was an area where they needed to step up. "I would like us to improve our second innings batting. This is something that has affected us in the past, where we only bat well in one innings and don't back it up in the next," said Sammy.
"It was a much better effort in this Test, but it's still something we can improve. The guys who scored runs for us in previous Test series, like Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels and myself, we didn't get much in the first Test, yet we still got a big total, so its good contributions are coming from different members of the team."
In Dhaka, the West Indies piled up 527 for 4 declared with veteran left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul getting an unbeaten double century but Bangladesh produced an excellent reply to reach 556 all out. The Windies were then bundled out for 273, leaving the hosts with 245 to get for victory. Fast bowler Tino Best snatched 5 for 24 to cripple Bangladesh late on the final day.
Sammy hailed the Caribbean side's bowling effort and said tour management was now mulling over including an extra pacer for the second Test. "We took 20 wickets. In order to win Test matches, you have to take 20 wickets, you have to be able to bowl out the opposition twice," Sammy noted.
"I think it was a good decision to play the extra bowler in the first Test. Veerasammy Permaul created some important breakthroughs for us. Neither [Sunil] Narine nor I bowled as well as we could in the second innings. The way Tino Best bowled and the way they played him, we may be tempted to play Fidel Edwards since he too is quite pacy."
Saturday's victory was the third straight Test win for West Indies following their clean sweep of the two-match series against New Zealand during the summer. And with Test wins a rarity for West Indies in recent years, Sammy said capturing the second Test would not be only important in terms of a convincing series win but it would extend a winning streak which was important to building team confidence.
"The previous match was a hard-fought victory for the team. We have seen more of [the Bangladeshis]. We know how competitive they will play, so we can formulate a better plan for them going forward, both batting and bowling," Sammy added.
The hosts may be forced into making one change to their eleven with the experienced opener Tamim Iqbal nursing an elbow injury. Bangladesh have included the uncapped star under-19 opener Anamul Haque in the squad as cover for Tamim.
Probable XIs:
Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal/Anamul Haque, 2 Junaid Siddique, 3 Shahriar Nafees, 4 Naeem Islam, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk/capt), 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Mahmudullah (vc), 9 Shohag Gazi, 10 Shahadat Hossain, 11 Rubel Hossain
West Indies: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Kieran Powell, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samules, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 6 Denesh Ramdin, 7 Darren Sammy (capt), 8 Veeraswamy Permaul/Fidel Edwards, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Tino Best, 11 Ravi Rampaul

-Hello, I was considering purchasing this theme and I wanted to know can it support a shopping cart or marketplace and If yes which plugin or cart will it be most compatible with.
I also wanted to know if you can make any of the post portfolio like. Kind of set up like a photo album within a post. Please let me know. Thank you.
Thank you, Anticipated customer-
Hi there,
You can use the WordPress [gallery] shortcode to add photo albums to a page, or for something more advanced you'll need to use a plugin such as NextGEN Gallery.
Hello, after playing around with this template I must say that even if it has some small bugs it's definitely a great resource!
I would suggest adding some other parameters to the "post" and/or "featured post" shortcodes:
- cat (to load posts from single categories or esclude from some other categories, now the only category parameter is category_name)
- tag (to load posts from some tags)
- title html tag (to choose wich html tag to aply to titles, now all posts inthe loop get an H2)
I've already implemented it and it's quite easy, it's sufficiento to edit:
- thegossip/lib/admin/inc/shortcodes/posts.php (or featured-posts.php)
- thegossip/lib/admin/inc/tinymce/tinymce.js
Hi, I found 2 small bugs:
1) in posts shortcode (the one for making loops) the title_lenght parameter is not working because is applied to link title property instead of title linked
2) font-awesome.css are not included in child themes because they are called with get_stylesheet_directory_uri instead of get_template_directory_uri (like other css')
it's a very quick fix, hope you will include in next release
Hi there,
If you find any bugs please in future, please post them on the support site at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com where I'll be able to log them more easily.
Both bugs will be investigated and fixed in the next version.
Thanks GhostPool, I'l do as you told if I see something other
will this theme compatible with IE 10 anytime soon?
Hi there,
There are plans to make the theme IE10 compatible, however at the moment the usage of this browser is about 0.9%, equivalent to IE7, so it shouldn't be a major concern.
Hello, I bought this theme and believe me, my work has been recognized here, thank you for such a base done, keep it up, so they can access the site www.midiagv.com.br, and if you want you can put as example here too, hugs!!
Hi there,
Thanks for the nice comments.
Hello, does it support RTL? thanks, Sam
Hi there,
The theme does not come with an RTL stylesheet.
I have looked thru all the help doc's and tricsy FAQ for this theme no where can I find any info on the rating system in this theme. How to use it, add reviews, nothing. The reviews I do create can not be rated by anyone even thu I have user enabled in Review setting for a new post. Why would you put a rating system in the theme and provide no documentation on it???? Very disappointed to this point…
Hi there,
The reason there is no information on the rating system is because it's fairly self explanatory. You add your scores from the post settings panel, just like you would do for any other settings. Of the 500+ buyers not one has asked how to use the rating system, so I have to believe it is very easy to use for nearly everyone.
Of course if you have trouble using it I'll be happy to help you, which is why there is a support site where you can post your questions. Once you've posted your question I'll be able to talk you through the system in detail.http://ghostpool.ticksy.com

Do you have some sort of 'captcha' to stop 'bots' leaving 'comments' on your posts??
Hi there,
This isn't something themes handle. You can use the Akismet plugin that comes packaged with every WordPress installation or one of the many other captcha comment plugins out there: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=comment+captcha
is this not compatible with the new wordpress? everything looks fine but when i go to APPEARANCE > THEME OPTIONS, i get an error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_enqueue_media() in /home/content/51/9623351/html/wp-content/themes/thegossip/lib/admin/inc/theme-options.php on line 1648
Hi there,
Yes, The Gossip is compatible with the latest version of WordPress. wp_enqueue_media is only supported since 3.5 suggesting you're using an older version of WordPress.
If you still have an issue please submit all your support questions at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com
Sorry for the inconvenience but we do point this out in the help file, item page and your theme options page.
Two days ago I moved my site to a new server and installed GOSSIP.
Before the change, the average stats were the following:
- Time spent on site: Between 2-3 minutes
- Page views: 2.5-3
- Bounce rate: 25%
After the change, the stats are:
- Time spent on site: Between 2-3 minutes
- Page views: 1.5-2
- Bounce rate: 75%
The content is the same, the only change is the design.
My first ideas were that the GA tracking code could have not been placed in all the pages. It´s weird that the average time on site is the same as before, but all of the sudden the number of page views has decreased from an average of 2.5-3 to 1.5-2. I double checked with the code but it´s OK, placed before the </head> tag in all the pages.
What can be causing this problem? I´m 100% sure that is not because of a change on the design because the organic traffic delivered to certain pages with 0% bounce rate now have like 60% rate, and those pages look exactly the same (the main difference in the design is the home page, but these are internal pages). My guess is that it might have to do with the tracking code or something not working between GOSSIP and Google Analytics. Are there any similar records about this issue? Any ideas how could be solved?
Please, this is very URGENT

Any plans on getting RTL ?? ALso is it WPML tested? (www.wpml.org) This is very cool to have,—if it did, I would buy and recommend !
Hi there,
There are no plans for RTL support currently. The theme has not been tested with WPML. I have tested WPML with some of my other themes in the past so I believe it will work.
I like how you reply to posts and seem to update the theme. Believe me, we do take notice
Thanks zooki.
First off, you have done a WONDERFUL job with this theme!
Just a couple quick questions:
1) Is there a place on the homepage in the center where I could put my Aweber opt-in form (html code)? I didn't know if it is all widgetdized so I could do whatever.. Your thoughts?
2) Is there an option for the site layout to NOT be wide, but instead be centered?
Thanks for your help—look forward to your reply!
Regards, -Alex
Hi there,
1) Yes, you can arrange the homepage however you want as it is generated using shortcodes to insert a form in the centre.
2) Yes you can change the site width from the theme options.
Thank you!!!
hey Dan, am trying to reach you from a couple of days but your support portal is always down, returning a Errore 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) message.
Have a pending ticket, which I'd really appreciate to have your kind feedback on, as usual
Thanks a lot Marco
Hi there,
My support portal? I don't have a support portral. All support questions should be posted at http://ghostpool.ticksy.com as you always do. However you do not have any pending tickets currently.
I have one very important question before i buy this template.
Example if have a a submit form like this one on Gossip template: http://dezebo.com/submit Now as you can see there is a place for Thumbnail image. When i upload a big image in Thumbnail image:for front page ,did that image wilb be automatic resized on front page and look like here: http://uploaded.net/file/9wk6x9ij Or i need to resize first with some software and then to upload? Best
Hi there,
I really can't answer that, I don't know anything about how this form works to know whether it will resize the front page images automatically. What I can say is the theme comes with it's own options to change the image sizes so you do not need to resize them in with software beforehand.
Ok cool. Then i can upload any size of image and on front page and thumbnail will be resized automatically,for portofolio and on second page will be original image. Thanks
All featured images will automatically be resized, even on the second page. Only images you manually insert in single posts/pages will not be automatically resized.
hi guys, one question, after installation of Ether content builder i cant use a rating anymore. any known solution? Lee
Hi there,

Hi, I am planning to buy this this what would be cost and Pls explain what is the difference between Regular License and Extended License.
Hi there,
The price of the theme is listed on the right hand side of the item page ($55 or $2750 depending on the license).
A regular license is for a single use of the theme (e.g. for you or a client's website), whereas an extended license is for multiple websites or clients. For more details see:
Regular license: http://themeforest.net/licenses/regular Extended license: http://themeforest.net/licenses/extended
Hi, before i purchase your theme i'd like to know if this theme is compatible with a blog which has 2000+ posts? And what kind of hosting service should i choose with this theme?
Hi there,
Yes definitely. The type of hosting depends on how much traffic you get, you should probably use a VPN server if you have a decent amount of visitors.
Question before purchase. The theme has a option to Show or Not show the slider?
Thank you
Hi there,
The slider can be added or removed from any page as it is inserted using shortcodes.

Williamsport's playoff chances are dead. They have been for much of the week. But Nelson Prada still has the Crosscutters coming to the ballpark with a purpose.
Thanks to a doubleheader split against Batavia on Thursday night at Bowman Field, Williamsport can eliminate the Muckdogs from division championship contention with a win tonight. It's been the mantra Prada has preached to the Cutters all week, that there is still something to play for.
There was no sulking after losing the first game last night, 7-5, in the completion of a game suspended in the first week of the season. Williamsport responded with good situational hitting in beating one of Batavia's best pitchers in the nightcap, 6-5.
Article Photos
MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Williamsport Crosscutters second baseman Andrew Pullin tries to field a ground ball in the sixth inning on Thursday night at Bowman Field.
"We want to finish strong," Prada said. "We want to keep the guys strong in their mind to keep them strong and working for something every day. The first goal was to beat State College so they couldn't clinch the division and we beat them two of three so they didn't clinch in front of us. And even if we don't eliminate (Batavia) we've put them in a bad situation."
When the suspended game began in the bottom of the sixth with a 3-3 tie, Zach Green quickly broke the tie, hitting a two-run home run to left field off the end of the bat for a 5-3 Crosscutters lead. It was Green's 12th home run of the season which ties him with Cody Overbeck and leaves him one behind Walter Young for most home runs in a season for the Crosscutters.
Jon Musser couldn't hold the lead, though. The pitcher who wasn't on the Crosscutters' roster when the game started June 25, surrendered three runs and six hits in two innings, including a titanic two-run home run to Scott Carcase in the eighth inning which gave Batavia a 6-5 lead.
There was no sulking over the loss. Prada didn't hold any kind of meeting after the first game, which was delayed more than an hour by rain prior to the bottom of the ninth inning. Instead, he let his players just go out and play.
They responded with six runs and six hits against Ryan Newell who entered with a 1.84 ERA this season for the Muckdogs. Trailing 1-0 in the third inning with two outs, Malquin Canelo singled and Dylan Cozens walked ahead of Green's RBI single to left field.
Green's 40 RBIs this year are second-most in the New York-Penn League behind State College's David Washington (48).
Andrew Knapp followed Green with an RBI double off the wall in left field to drive in Cozens before consecutive throwing errors from Newell and shortstop Javier Lopez gave Williamsport four two-out runs and a 4-1 lead.
"At some point I said we're striking out too much and we've been talking to the guys about it," Prada said. "The guys are letting the ball travel more and throwing their hands at it. Good things happen when you put the ball in play."
Julio Reyes battled early command issues but found a way to gut his way through five innings to pick up his second win of the season. Reyes allowed five hits and three runs and struck out five.
Through three innings, the 22-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic had thrown just half his pitches for strikes. But he had allowed just three hits and one run thanks to a first-inning double play and a tremendous running catch in the right-center field gap by Cozens.
Reyes retired the side in order for the first time in the fourth inning before getting into trouble again in the fifth. But Reyes struck out clean-up hitter Felix Munoz to end the inning. He ended up throwing 50 of his 90 pitches for strikes.
"The ball was staying up and running out on him. He said he was trying to pitch inside but the ball was running too much," Prada said. "One thing is he was moving his lower body too fast, so his arm is not catching his body. (Pitching coach Les Lancaster) talked to him about it and he made the adjustment to get through the fifth."
Trailing by three heading into the seventh, Batavia scored two runs thanks to a J.T. Riddle RBI double and a balk on Keivi Rojas which scored another run. But Rojas caught a comebacker to end the game and secure his second save of the year.

Two more charges have been filed against Jimmy Don King, who, along with John F. Langford, is facing multiple counts of bilking clients out of more than $4 million.
King, who turned 66 on Monday, remained incarcerated at the Potter County Detention Center on Monday. The 47th District Attorney's Office filed two additional charges against King on Monday of selling securities without proper registration, a third-degree felony.
King worked for Langford, who faces nine felonies for similar crimes and is facing involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.
King now faces a total of four charges - two charges of being a dealer without registration and two charges of selling unregistered securities. Langford also was in custody at the Potter County jail.

Stone Old Guardian Belgo-Barley Wine - Red Wine Barrel
RATINGS: 28 MEAN: 3.65/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.49/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 345 ABV: 11.5%
I write this the Tuesday following our Stone 15th Anniversary celebration. More than 6,500 folks came out to help us celebrate our 15 years of being in the biz. And as with every other year, we are excited to find this one filled with many many interesting and exciting things. New "Stone Quingenti Millilitre" 500 ml cork-and-wire-bale program announced? Check. New coffee table-worthy book "The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.: Liquid Lore, Epic Recipes & Unabashed Arrogance" released late September 2011? Check. Another tome I co-authored called "The Brewers Apprentice" also coming out in September? Check. New Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Liberty Station announced? Check. New "Stone Company Store" in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego opened? Check. Stone Europe announced? The idea, check. The location... not just yet. Hotel across the street from our brewery in Escondido to be built with new offices, a catering kitchen and event space announced? Check. The announcement of a building expansion to the south of our brewery that may allow us to brew a half a million barrels per year? Check. Impending secession from the city of Escondido to form our own city-state of Stonelandia? Uh, no. Not yet. We like Escondido. Although its pretty amusing to ponder the thought... hmmm... Stonelandia. I like the sound of it. Heh. Ok, back to the moment. The thing I left out in the list above was the announcement that along with the hotel and event space mentioned, well have a new barrel-aging room. Enough room for many hundreds of barrels, which will mean a future filled with a lot more of the likes of what you have here in your hands. You could call it "a tasty barrel-aged future" if you like. I think I will.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
With the year rapidly coming to an end, investors may be thinking about which stocks they want in their portfolios in 2014. In this segment, Two Fools Debate, Fool editor Jamal Carnette and contributor Sam Mattera discuss whether investors should own Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) in 2014.
Sam expects another year of underperformance. He sees Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) Android encroaching on Apple's territory, while telecom giants in the US, including AT&T continue to move away from smartphone subsidies. More competition from Android-powered tablets and smartphones could lead to fewer Apple products being sold, while Apple's reliance on carrier subsidies could weigh on iPhone sales should they go away.
In contrast, Jamal is hopeful that Apple will outperform in the coming year. He expects that Apple's recent deal with China Mobile will lead to millions more iPhones being sold in China, a large market of increasing importance. At the same time, new, forthcoming Apple products like the long-rumored smart watch and smart TV could drum up investor interest -- much like the iPad did in 2010 -- and lead to earnings growth in 2014.
Our top stock pick for 2014
There's a huge difference between a good stock, and a stock that can make you rich. The Motley Fool's chief investment officer has selected his No. 1 stock for 2014, and it's one of those stocks that could make you rich.

We looked down to say "Hola," and saw dirt all over these poor kids. You could actually see the lice crawling all over their precious heads. Our hearts were filled with love and compassion for them, and without a single thought for ourselves, we picked up, hugged, and kissed every kid we could get to.
Right then, I knew that life in Guatemala was very different from the life we live in America. The people of Guatemala live very hard, yet simple lives. They are very poor and have very little.
Going to Guatemala and seeing how the people there live is a very humbling experience. It is an awesome place and I wish the people of America could see how selfish, greedy, and cold we can really be. It is a hard life to live, but it is very touching to see how people can make it with a smile on their face. I know my life will never be the same again.
This February, I got the chance to go to Guatemala. My group and I spent two weeks repairing schools, painting, giving medical care, and getting to know the children of Guatemala.
Guatemala is one of the largest countries in Central America. It has a population of over 11 million people. Guatemala has one of the most serious levels of poverty in the world--in 1996, it was almost 80%.
Poverty is a very real problem, not just in Guatemala, but in the whole world. In the U.S. alone from 1979-1993, the number of children under six grew from 3.5 million to 6.4 million. In 1997, 22% of children under six were in poverty. The only way to decrease these numbers is to get educated, to educate, and to have it be important to you.
For more information on poverty and how you can help, call World Concern, (800) 755-5022, or go to a library near you. Poverty will not disappear overnight, but if we work together, we can start changing lives together. The challenge is set--what will you do?

Billie Mae Richards (November 21, 1921 – September 10, 2010) was a Canadian voice actress, who also appeared onstage and on television.
Born as Billy Mae Dinsmore in Toronto, she was best known for voicing Rankin/Bass' version of the character Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer from 1964 to 1979. She also voiced Tenderheart Bear in the first two Care Bears movies, as well as the DIC-produced television series (credited as "Billie Mae Richard"), and Brightheart Raccoon in the Nelvana-produced Care Bears television series.[1]
Richards' four other appearances in Rankin-Bass productions animated were in Willie McBean and his Magic Machine, The King Kong Show, The Smokey Bear Show and The Daydreamer (both from the mid-1960s) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and its sequels all written in the United States and animated in Japan. About that same time, she appeared in the original Spider-Man television series. She also voiced all the female characters in The Undersea Adventures of Captain Nemo and The Toothbrush Family with Len Carlson, who voiced all the male ones.[2] She made guest appearances on the television shows Maniac Mansion, My Secret Identity, War of the Worlds and The Hidden Room. She also had a bit part in the 1998 horror film Bram Stoker's Shadow Builder, in which her character was attacked with an axe by Paul Soles (who had played Hermey the elf in the original Rudolph special), and the 2001 short Bluehair.[2]
Personal life[edit]
She was at one time married to musician Bill Richards. Their daughter, Judi Richards, is a singer-songwriter.[3]
Richards retired to Toronto. She died on September 10, 2010 following a stroke.[4]

Armstrong's Household and Farming Museum is holding an open day in aid of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI).
The museum at North Charlton Farm, set up 30 years ago by Sylvia Armstrong, is a private collection which focuses very much on farming and rural life, and for those who visit it evokes memories of a bygone era.
The museum takes the visitor back to when people cooked on a black range in a traditional kitchen, and they can enjoy a trip around sections devoted to dairy, farming by hand, needlework, children's toys and a Victorian parlour.
There is also an archive of farm literature on display going back well over 50 years this includes mart catalogues, account books and farm sale and land particulars.
The day is one for all the family as young people will love the traditional nursery with its collections of games, toys and children's clothing from the past.
Dating back to the 19th century, RABI provides care and support for farmers, farm workers, farm managers and their families who are struggling to get by on low incomes.
Sylvia said: "Over the years we have opened the doors of the museum for individual charities, and as you can imagine, we are delighted that we are supporting a charity in aid of the agricultural community.
"The history of agriculture and farming is exactly what this museum is about, so we really do hope that those who attend will enjoy seeing so many items from farming, family and rural life of a bygone era."
Margaret Brown, Northumberland co-ordinator for RABI, and one of Sylvia and Charlie's daughters, said: "This really is a fantastic collection and a real labour of love with one main aim – to ensure that our farming past does not get forgotten in this vastly different age and throwaway society.
"I would like to thank mum and dad, for giving their time to help raise essential funds for us, so we can carry on supporting people who need help."
The open day is on Friday, July 18, from 11am – 5pm. Refreshments will be available.Entry is £5 per person.

Out of the Box: Readers share their favorite recipes
Betsy Williams, of Erie, says this was one of her late mother's favorites. The dough freezes well for later use and so do the cookies. Any kind of canned fruit (well-drained) or dried fruit works, but pineapple was her dad's favorite, so that's what the family saw the most. Recipe feeds a whole boys baseball team, cheerleading squad or a Scout troop without leftovers.
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
2 cups shortening
4 eggs
2 cups (1 can) crushed pineapple, well-drained
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecan pieces, or walnuts (optional)
1. Cream sugars and shortening, add eggs, pineapple and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and add a third at a time to the wet ingredients. Fold in the nuts, if using.
2. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
We're looking for your favorite recipe to run in this space. This summer, the contributor of each recipe that runs will get a free copy of the ETN & Friends cookbook. To enter your recipe, send it by e-mail to email@example.com (subject "Reader recipes"). You may also fax them to 870-1808, attention Jennie Geisler; or send regular mail to Jennie Geisler, reader recipes, 205 W. 12th St., Erie, PA 16534. Include a sentence or two about when you like to make the dish and a photo that shows your face.

Idea of the Day: Increase the Production of Renewable Electricity
We can lower the amount of greenhouses gases produced by electric power, which now generates 36 percent of our carbon emissions. Emissions will grow dramatically as the demand for electricity increases unless we significantly change the way we produce power through new investments in renewable energy sources and advanced-coal energy production.
Specifically, we propose a new national renewable electricity standard to require 25 percent of energy produced in the United States to come from renewable sources by 2025, increasing distributed renewable electricity generation and facilitating investment in renewable energy by improving the structure of production tax credits and low interest loans. While non-hydro renewable energy is a very small part of our energy equation right now, providing only about 2 percent of total U.S. electricity capacity, it has great potential to play an important role in a low-carbon economy. The policy framework, however, is critical.
The Energy Information Agency reference case—essentially a business-as-usual projection that takes into account projected technology improvements, but not improvements that are the result of new policies—still shows non-hydro renewable energy accounting for only about 2 percent of electricity by 2030.
To move off that tepid path, we need a smart set of polices to propel the sector forward. This makes sense for both environmental and economic reasons. Renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal produce not just very few greenhouse gas emissions but more jobs, too. A 2007 analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists suggests that a 20 percent national renewable electricity standard by 2020 would create 185,000 jobs, save consumers $10.5 billion on energy bills through 2020, and reduce CO2 by 223 million metric tons a year.

SEC media days are over. And Les Miles, yet again, was one of the brightest stars of the show.
Miles gave updates on all three of his kids, "Smacker," Manny and Macy, multiple times throughout the day before briefing the media. He also shared his affinity for the World Cup and New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter's performance in the MLB All-Star Game.
Miles' also shared a story of a family vacation to Austin, Texas. He said conditions were not ideal.
"It was miserable. I hated it. But we it was great fun. I meant, it was not a beach, it was not sand, but it was my family, and that was the best," said Miles.
But Miles and three of his seniors, left tackle La'el Collins, linebacker D.J. Welter and running back Terrence Magee, also addressed topics regarding their football team. Overall, there was no breaking news to share, but there were some interesting comments regarding the 2014 Tigers.

Every year millions of gamers and reporters (okay, and a few celebs) converge on the L.A. Convention Center, impatiently awaiting the next tidal wave of video game announcements and demos. Yep, another E3 has gone by, and we're all exhausted. Every year, as the doors of the LA Convention Center pry open, we hope to witness something innovative, fresh and, well, something we actually want.
LittleBigPlanet 3... Yaay!
Snake and gay music. That's what we saw.
Last year, Sony had the PlayStation 4 and and Microsoft had the Xbox One as the top attractions. So, what made E3 2014 stand out? Honestly, I need to think about that for a bit. I'll be right back.
Officially, the E3 2014 brought 48,000 attendees, marking a 1.5% rise in attendance, while a total of 200 exhibitors were at the show, as opposed to last year's 230. I have absolutely no idea if that's significant or not, but there it is.
Sequels, Pre-sequels & Reboots
Microsoft was the first big-ass publisher to great us. Stepping out into their emerald-lit stage, they kicked off the show and it was very green indeed. The greenest show yet. At one point, I thought Phil Spencer would jump onto the stage dressed as a fucking leprechaun. Customary marketing bullcrap aside, Microsoft's press conference had some things that are worth recollecting. They finally put Xbox One on sale without the Kinect. Oh and I almost forgot, if you're a Halo fan, MS is prepared to shove you a fistful of Halo down your mouth with the upcoming Halo Master Chief Collection that's going to include: Halo: Combat Evolve, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo: Nightfall and Halo 5: Guardians.
Ahaaa! You can't hide from me and my team of assassins.
Mmm, the lovely greenery of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Sony announced PlayStation TV, which is going to be available for 100 bucks. Booo!!! I mean… Yay? They revealed a Glacier White PS4 (now that's more like it!). They did delight us with the announcement of Uncharted 4: Thief's End, albeit they only released a short teaser and nothing more. We didn't really get too excited after seeing the footage of Metal Gear Solid 5. With no proper gameplay shown, we were all confused at the sight of a flimsy trailer full of random snippets and cut-scenes, with a questionable choice of music swelling in the backdrop. Thankfully, Sony went on stage and introduced LittleBigPlanet 3. They also went on stage along with Double Fine Productions announced the development of a remastered version of the classic LucasArts adventure game, Grim Fandango.
EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Activision and other top publishers were giving us a solid dosage of sequels, prequels and reboots. So, what's on the menu? Well, traditional continuations of franchises like Super Smash Bros. (generally Super Mario), The Legend of Zelda, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, Batman, Call of Duty, Tomb Raider and so on. Ubisoft also gave us a bit more to look forward to: the brilliant-looking multiplayer shooter Tom Clancy's The Division (really can't help being excited about that one) and the rather unexpected, but tremendously delightful, Rainbow Six: Siege.
The E3 2014 finally gave us chance to taste Bethesda's new survival horror game, The Evil Within. How exciting was that? Suffice it to say, we didn't run into what we were expecting. The for a survival horror game it sure as hell had a lot of the 'survival' toned down.
Indie Territory
'Inside' tickles my fancy.
Below is another promising indie title.
The ever-expanding realm of indie games brings us a whole variety of titles that are lined-up for release in 2014 and 2015. Spearheaded with open-world MMO sci-fi space shooter No Man's Sky and Inside (courtesy of Limbo devs Playdad), the indie scene has never looked more promising. In future we'll be playing games like Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Below, Entwined, the delightful Abzu (from the makers of Journey) and more.
On the surface, the E3 seems like just another putrid cesspool of sequels and reboots. Fair enough, I'll make a slight compromise here. We're certainly not about to abandon all hope here, which is why we're gonna say that it's a very nice putrid cesspool of sequels and reboots. Most of the games we've played or seen footage of, do look damn impressive and we are really excited about them. Not all of them, but some of them. Okay, we are, in fact, excited about many of them.
There, I avoided criticizing the show as much as I could, and I tried to maintain a more positive outlook. Hope you enjoyed our take on the industry's biggest event.

More than a hundred bird enthusiasts packed Eshelman Hall Auditorium on the campus of Davis & Elkins College Friday to glean tips for improving their bird identification skills and watch slides of some of West Virginia's most beautiful birds.
The leader of this information-finding session was world-famous birding expert, Dr. Scott Shalaway.
A great portion of the audience attended as part of the 2013 West Virginia Master Naturalist Conference, but many attendees were simply curious individuals eager to learn how to identify the birds they see in their backyards.

The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart
Bird expert Dr. Scott Shalaway signs copies of his book 'Building a Backyard Bird Habitat' Friday following his presentation of bird identification on the campus of Davis & Elkins College. Tucker County resident Sara Fletcher asks Shalaway to sign the copy of his book.
Shalaway began sharing his knowledge by saying he feels it's difficult for people to care about something with which they're unfamiliar.
"Does anyone know what an olinguito is?" Shalaway asked.
Many people began describing traits of the mini-raccoon mammal that is 14 inches long with a 14-inch tail, weighing in at about 2 pounds.
Shalaway complimented them, saying the mammal had just been discovered on Thursday.
"It is a cute animal, and hard to overlook, but somehow science did," Shalaway said. "There was even one in the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington that was misidentified for years."
Shalaway said his point is, people can't care about something or conserve something if they don't know about it.
"With that in mind, I wanted to teach you the naming process when you identify birds," Shalaway said. "As I thought how to do that, I remembered a quote saying you cannot care about something until you can name it."
Shalaway showed images of birds including a black bird, a belted kingfisher, a warbler, a masked flower piercer and a sword-billed hummingbird from Ecuador.
"To identify birds and put names to those birds, requires a fairly easy, simple skill," Shalaway said. "You need to train your brain to make mental notes of things. You may have two seconds or five minutes, so you need to take advantage of the time the bird is in view. Items to remember include its size, its shape, markings, colors, behavior and what it's saying."
Shalaway said learning the process takes some time and effort.
"You need to spend a little time at your home and bird feeders with common, everyday birds, and you will pick it up fairly quick," Shalaway said. "It is a mental skill. Then when the bird flies away, write everything about the bird down. Those are the steps to follow. When the bird is gone and you have written the information down, it is time to identify the bird by going to the field book or calling a friend. If you practice this, you will be able to identify 80 percent of the birds in your backyard."
Shalaway said people are able to identify most birds they see if they take good notes featuring accurate descriptions of the bird. Following his presentation, Shalaway signed and sold copies of his books.

OpenSUSE 1-Click Link Collection
A selection of categorized 1-click installers is now being displayed on the openSUSE community website.
The 1-click installer from openSUSE is a really cool invention. It enables openSUSE users to download dependency-heavy software without having to integrate new package sources. A single click on the link button with a ymp ending and YaST will collect the necessary repositories and initiate the software installation.
The only problem is the 1-click installers are spread over various websites. Now, the openSUSE community has placed a number of important installers on one page and arranged in different categories. So far, the collection contains installers for graphic cards (ATI and Nividia), multimedia codecs (VLC, codecs for Gnome and KDE) and for desktop-effects (Compiz Gnome and Compiz KDE).
The collection however, is by no means complete. Installers for mono applications like Gnome Do and Banshee are absent, as are the in openSUSE Build Service software portal integrated ymp files. If the collection is a one-off affair or if it is to be extended, remains to be seen, though the idea certainly makes a lot of sense.

Bruising encounters don't bode well for future
Paul Gallagher
Dread to think how rugby's leading lights will fare in the decades to come after they put their bodies on the line time and time again as the modern game demands more and more physical intensity with each passing season.
Last weekend's date with the fearsome All Blacks was a ferocious encounter with Irish management counting the cost of the home troops giving it their all for the cause against what, ultimately, is always going to be a superior force, at least when facing the might of the Kiwis.
A further update on the walking wounded will be known tomorrow. But what is already certain is Luke Fitzgerald, Rory Best and Rob Kearney all came off worse for wear and the trio are ruled out of Sunday's final autumn series meeting with Argentina.
Fitzgerald sustained medial ligament damage to the left knee, though it's a different knee injury to the one which kept him for most of the year. Best suffered a fractured cheekbone and will operated on today and both will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
Kearney should find out the extent of cartilage damage after surgery later this week, which obviously keeps him out of the Pumas encounter.
Ireland's talisman and captain, Brian O'Driscoll, epitomises all that is good about the modern game in these parts. What the Leinster centre achieves on the pitch is nothing short of extraordinary as every time he takes his talent and bravery to the very limit.
A bruising of the shoulder was the latest injury sustained from the All Blacks game, which will seem little more than a scuff, considering BOD is teak-tough and renowned for his quick healing.
Of greater concern, however, is finding out how these warriors will hold up in the long term as the body must surely feel the effects of such bruising bust-ups later in life. There has to be pay back time and the only hope is these guys get to enjoy pain-free, more leisurely days after the time comes to hang up the boots.

Karachi: Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has said that he intends to utilise the eight-week break before the next international series to plug the weaknesses of the team.
Pakistan's next tour is of Sri Lanka from late May, and since no player from Pakistan is participating in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), most of them will get a hard-earned break. "This period is very valuable to us as we can utilise it to work on our weaknesses, physical fitness and other issues," Misbah told PTI on Sunday. "We have already identified the areas where we need to work on and improve. But due to our hectic schedule we never got a chance to work on them. Now this eight-week period is ideal for us to hold a camp and get down to work," he said.
The Pakistan captain was unable to lead his hometown side, Faisalabad Wolves, in the National Super Eights Twenty20 championship due to a viral infection. Misbah said he would soon be talking to the officials in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and new coach Dave Whatmore to plan out a training camp. "The Super Eights event has also thrown up some new talent and I think we can also look at them in this free period," Misbah said. He pointed out that Pakistan needed to plan ahead because of the demands of a hectic international calendar.
Misbah declined to comment on the issue of Pakistan's players not being part of the IPL. "It is their [India's] domestic event and we should just focus on improving our cricket or having our own Premier League," he said.

The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men who Think Like Them) will Rule the Futureby Michael D'antonio John Gerzema
Brought to life through real world examples and backed by rigorous data, The Athena Doctrine shows how feminine traits are ascending--and bringing success to people and organizations around the world.
Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire, and Utopian Dreamsby Michael D'antonio
THIS BOOK IS NEITHER LICENSED NOR SPONSORED BY THE HERSHEY COMPANY. Hershey. The name means chocolate to America and the world, but as Michael D'Antonio reveals, it also stands for an inspiring man and a uniquely successful experiment in community and capitalism that produced a business empire devoted to a higher purpose. One of the twentieth century's most eccentric and idealistic titans of industry, Milton S. Hershey brought affordable milk chocolate to America, creating and then satisfying the chocoholic urges of millions. He pioneered techniques of branding, mass production, and marketing, and gained widespread fame as the Chocolate King. But as he developed massive factories, Cuban sugar plantations, and a vacation wonderland called Hershey Park, M. S. never lost sight of a grander goal. Determined that his wealth produce a lasting legacy, he tried to create perfect places where his workers could live, perfect schools for their children, and a perfect charity to salvage the lives of needy children in perpetuity. Along the way, he overcame his personal childhood traumas, as well as the death, after a short and intensely romantic marriage, of the one woman he ever loved. In childhood, Milton was torn by the constant conflicts between his stern mother and starry-eyed father. He watched his father go bust in the oil fields and his sister die of scarlet fever. As a young man he failed with businesses in Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago. Milton finally succeeded in Lancaster, thanks to a caramel recipe copied from another confectioner and a lucky break provided by a British importer. Then, at the history-shaping Columbian Exhibition, Milton found the chocolate-making technology that would allow him to bring a new taste to America. When they heard about his plan to build a chocolate empire complete with its own little city in rural Pennsylvania, his friends said he needed a legal guardian. Ten years later, Milton controlled the U. S. chocolate market, and his town, Hershey, Pennsylvania, was the ideal American village. Factory workers lived in graceful homes. Their children attended the best schools. Local parks, libraries, and theaters rivaled the best in big cities. Trains brought thousands of tourists every day, who flocked to see the miracle town, the Hershey zoo, and an enormous amusement park. Not content with these accomplishments, a childless M. S. Hershey founded an orphanage for boys at his family homestead. After his wife Catherine's death, the press revealed that he had secretly willed his entire estate to the Hershey Industrial School, as it was called. This was only the beginning of his giving. Through the Great Depression, Milton Hershey used his fortune to fund a massive building program that kept all his workers employed and spared the community the real hardships of the era. Before he died, he even gave away his mansion, keeping just two rooms for himself. Remarkable as Hershey was, his legacy is even more powerful. It includes the $8 billion Hershey Trust (the single largest private fund for children in the world), an idyllic company town in central Pennsylvania, and a corporation that proves that the ideals of community and commerce can lead to profit. This first-ever, major biography of an American icon paints a vivid picture of what Milton S. Hershey accomplished as the ultimate progressive businessman. Hershey's life suggests a kind of capitalism that seems warmer, and more personal. He was a gambler, raconteur, despot, and servant. And he stands as a rare, and perhaps unique, example of ambition, altruism, ego, and humility.

Although the popular channel has given us The Simpsons, Malcom in the Middle and King of the Hill, it is most definitly, the channel with the most cancled shows. Prehaps what is more disturbing is that most shows cursed to be on Fox are cancled after 3 episodes, then brought back again, and cancled after 2 more episodes. Basicly its a wonder that a few shows survived.
person1: Whats on Fox?
Person2: Some comercials for upcoming series premires.
Person1: *looks at tv screen* I'll give it 4 episodes.

Someone that you used to be friends with, but not anymore. They may say that they are "on a different planet" from time to time. They will suddenly stop talking to you completely and you will no longer be friends. They will follow you wherever you go -even to the bathroom- and not say a word to you. They will stand outside of a conversation, listen to it, and laugh, but never add to it. Fox's are short and annoying people. They will creepily stare at you from across the room as well. You never want to be friends with a fox!
Oh my gosh, she just followed me to the bathroom! What a fox!

In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Cate Blanchett's love interest is aging in reverse – something her husband would hate to see her do.
In fact, after just a few weeks of dating, Andrew Upton proposed to Blanchett, now 39, and her reasons for saying "yes" speak volumes about their love affair.
"I couldn't not," she tells Vanity Fair in its February cover story. "We were in exactly the same place at exactly the same time. He turned to me after a few days and said, 'Cate … ,' and I thought, 'Oh, god, he's going to ask me to marry him – and I'm going to have to say yes!' He didn't, in fact; he asked me what I wanted for dinner or something like that. But I'd never had that thought before. I thought, This is extraordinary! I've never felt this before. What an adventure!"
Upton says simply, "We sort of clicked ... It's a relief and a pleasure."
A pleasure that has bore three boys for the couple – Dashiell, 7, Roman, 4, and Ignatius, who turns 1 in April – as well as a threat against any "reverse aging" or plastic surgeries.
"I haven't done anything, but who knows. Andrew said he'd divorce me if I did anything," Blanchett says in the magazine. "When you've had children, your body changes; there's history to it. I like the evolution of that history; I'm fortunate to be with somebody who likes the evolution of that history."
She doesn't even rule out the possibility of more babies. "Who knows?" she says. "Don't close those doors. The world is very overpopulated, but we do make nice ones."
The February issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Dec. 31 and nationally on Jan. 6.

Chapter 11 'Failure'
Stephen J. Lubben
Seton Hall University - School of Law
April 8, 2009
Seton Hall Public Law Research Paper No. 1375163
Nearly thirty years of chapter 11 scholarship offers little insight into the reasons why certain firms are unable to confirm a reorganization plan. This paper offers the first empirical model of why firms fail in chapter 11. Using a database of 945 chapter 11 cases filed in 2004, and a simple definition of chapter 11 failure as any case that is converted to chapter 7 or dismissed, I show that some of the most significant predictors of "failure" are observable on the first day of a chapter 11 case.

How do we know a person really trust God?
Is it an indication of trust in God when a person is saying that he knows God and serving Him?
How did the Bible explain the characters and qualities of the people who are really trustful to God? What will be the benefits if we put our trusts in the Lord God?
The Bible tells that if there is someone who knows who really trust God, it is God Himself. (Nah 1:7) Godis good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.
To give an example, Jesus explains that the people who really trust God are known to God. God knows who are His people, and His people trust in Him. He calls them His sheep, because they were likened into sheeps who recognize their true pastor. (John 10 : 2 – 4, 14) But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The doorkeeper opens to him, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him. For they know his voice.
God puts His sheep into one fold and there they have only one pastor, and that pastor is Christ Himself, and the fold is the church which He built. (Acts 20:28) Therefore take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God which He has purchased with His own blood.
There are clear signs of recognition for those whom God knows to be His true servants and worshipers. They are the ones who truly put trust in the Lord and turn away from any form of wickedness. (2 Tim. 2 : 19) Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal: " The Lord knew those who are His." And, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity!" .
Like David, a King and a servant of God, a true servant possess true hope, and faith in the almighty power of God. They do not put trust on themselves alone, but to God. (Psalms 118 : 8 – 9) It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on people. It is better to trust in the LORD than to depend on human leaders.
How did the Bible explain the attributes of people who really put trust in the mighty name of God?
The Bible states this, (Jer. 17 : 7 -8) Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and the Lord is his trust. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters; it sends out its roots by the river, and it shall not fear when the heat comes, but its foliage shall be green; and he is not worried in the year of drought, nor will it cease from yielding fruit.
People who truly trust God don't fear anything, nor they are afraid of what will come. They put their trust and hope in God, and like a plant, they will never stop from giving fruits, even in the time of droughts. Their faith and trust in the Lord makes them strong, and keep their principles towards serving Him.
And like Paul said, (Col. 2:7) rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. They are strong because there is a strong foundation of faith in them, that is, the words of God are deeply rooted in the inner being. The presence of the teachings coming from the words of God makes them immovable by anything.
Like Mount Zion, the hope of people who trust God cannot be moved. (Psalms 125:1) Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never be moved. (Psalms 112:7-8) He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the LORD. He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
And like the branches of the trees, they will continue to bear fruits, since they are connected from the tree. (John 15:4-6) They will continue to bear good fruits, and yield good deeds and holiness, because they walk according to His teachings, commandments and His will.
What awaits those who really put trust in the Lord?
Fear of God and trust are some of the requirements for salvation. The Bible clearly says that salvation awaits those who really trust the Lord. (Prov. 29 : 25) It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the LORD, you are safe.
There are many stories in the Bible that tell us about the people of God who received God's mercy and salvation because of their unyielding trust in Him. Not only do they experienced God's physical or material salvation from the hands of their enemies, but now spiritual salvation awaits them.
Among them are David, Job and the likes, whom stories were written for us as an example to motivate and inspire us today on how we can firmly hold on with our faith.
These characters left us some inspiring teachings to lead us in our spiritual journey.
David says, (Psalms 37 : 4 – 5) Seek your happiness in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desire. Give yourself to the LORD; trust in him, and he will help you.
And from Job, (Job 4 : 6) Is not your reverence your hope? Is not your hope the uprightness of your ways? (Job 2:3) "Did you notice my servant Job?" the LORD asked. "There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil. You persuaded me to let you attack him for no reason at all, but Job is still as faithful as ever."
Servants who truly trust God never cease to give glory, honor and veneration. They give praise and thanksgiving to God. (Psalms 52:8-9) But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God; I trust in his constant love forever and ever. I will always thank you, God, for what you have done; in the presence of your people I will proclaim that you are good.

Kids can put together a 48-piece puzzle and then use it as Play-Doh modeling inspiration with Play-Doh Puzzle Look What I Made! Assemble the colorful puzzle to see pictures of Play-Doh creations, from a monkey and a bear to a slice of pizza and a robot. Once the puzzle is assembled, draw one of the 12 letter cards. Use the two included cans of Play-Doh (and any other Play-Doh you might already have at home) to make a model that starts with the letter shown on the card. Then, place your model on one of the three polka dot circles on the puzzle.
Using the letter cards is a fun way for preschoolers to practice letter recognition and vocabulary as well as spark their imaginations to get creative with Play-Doh. The puzzle and the letter card/modeling game are really two separate activities. You can play them together as the packaging suggests, but if you want to only put together the puzzle or only play the letter card game, you can do so. You can also make up your own ways to play.
The Play-Doh Puzzle Look What I Made! is not age-graded. However, we think it's best for ages 3 and up.
When assembled, the puzzle measures 11 inches by 14 inches.

Koopa Beach 2
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Koopa_Beach_2&oldid=2046038"
Koopa Beach 2 is the second course of the Special Cup. Its obstacles are deep bodies of water and bouncing Cheep Cheeps, and it is considered one of the 'average' tracks.
The course reappeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the first track in the Extra Special Cup. It uses the background from Shy Guy Beach, including the pirate ship. The Cheep Cheeps were removed from the track. Since there is no Feather item in this game, the small ramp in the middle area is unreachable.
Appearance in Mario Kart DS[edit]
Koopa Beach 2 reappeared again in Mario Kart DS as the first course in the Leaf Cup, and the course remains the same, except with a 3-D appearance. It is also one of the shortest tracks in the game. It was never available in Wi-Fi.

But I think I'm wrong in this assumption, as the Catalan subdomain also deploys the Canadian English version: https://ca.wordpress.org/latest-en_CA.zip
Last note: the main domain does not recognize a localized zip and answers with Release not found.
Is this documented somewhere? Or is each case treated separately?

Overall decent weekend for us. A couple guys started scouting Thursday and found a couple real good opportunities for Saturday morning. We decided to roll the dice and hunt a field on Saturday AM that was drawing in geese Friday AM. That didn't pan out for us and we only got 2 birds to decoy.
Back to scouting on Saturday afternoon and we lined up a slough for the morning holding a mixed bag of ducks. We ended up with a 4 man limit of woodies, mallards, gadwall, and teal in about an hour. Should have been quicker than that but 2 of us didn't get set up exactly how we planned due to water depth and then didn't shoot well. The other 2 guys were set up further from us and finished their limits in 10 minutes.
I used to blow out the lines in an older camper I had many years ago but I don't fully trust it so I use the anti-freeze now. I bypass the water heater and just drain it and leave the plug out. I suck antifreeze straight from the bottle into the lines using the water pump but don't forget the shower, the toilet and outside shower if you have one. I por a little down all the traps and that's about it. I always feel good about putting it away when I take these steps.

Art ?
A lot of words come to mind while watching that video.
Can't say art was one of them
always run antifreeze just in case some, easier to clean anit freeze than repairing pipes, i also do it in my caper every fall

In the music video for her new single, "Who Owns My Heart," a sultry, club-worthy pop anthem, Miley Cyrus once again proves her Disney days are over.
Cyrus shows off her inner vixen – and legs – as she flaunts her bod on a bed, sans pants, before she hits the club for some girl-on-girl gyration.
"Who owns my heart?" Cyrus, 17, sings. "Is it love or is it art?"
