The above statement isn't that mind blowing. It is something that I've been informed that many feminists who have wanted to work towards this goal have already determined. Wikimedia Foundation cannot fix the problem. Wikimedia Foundation is part of the problem, aggravates the gender gap and institutionalises the gender gap.
If you haven't heard of gendergap, it is a mailing list run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The purpose of the list, in an ideal world, is to work towards reducing the gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing female participations rates at a rate that is faster than the acquisition of new male contributors. Sadly, the ideal world is where that purpose ends. The list for increasing female participation is run by two men: There are no female administrators. Women are urged to join the list, and then quickly find a hostile atmosphere towards their gender and then leave. We've got men who make jokes about gender politics. We've got men who take an issue brought up by women, gender neutralise it and turn the issue into their own issue. We've got a lot of men who want to help women, but who when asked to actually do something can't be bothered. If you're noticing a thread here, it should be this: Wikimedia Foundation has a list dedicated to increasing female participation rates on Wikipedia that is run by two men and zero women, and conversation on the list is completely dominated by men.
Men can be fantastic allies for helping women achieve equality. Men are important to this goal. Men are necessary. They do valuable things.
The problem is that men cannot fix the gender participation gap alone. Women are needed. For this effort to be a success, to decrease the gap where more women contribute, you just need to have women involved. And many women, when working towards women's goals, don't feel comfortable doing so in an area dominated by men. Many women are culturally programmed to be deferential to men. Many women do not want to upset men. If women are worried about upsetting men, the focus of a community does not become improving things for women but becomes about not upsetting men. See what I'm getting at here? The purpose gets distorted.
And that's what we have with Gendergap. We have a lot of dominant men, men in position of power as employees of Wikimedia Foundation. We have men with power on Wikipedia. We have men who think they can help improve things for women. We have men who are quick to respond to every e-mail made to a list about increasing female participation rates.
These are men with male privilege. When the men were educated about the concerns that women have regarding participating on such a list, the men responded with privilege. They responded with tired, stale, clichéd arguments that people have often made in order to justify their -isms and their discrimination. You can't argue with the tone argument. (Your tone bothers me. Why are you so negative? I won't talk to some one who uses that tone!) You can't argue with them about how to behave. (If women just acted like PEOPLE, we wouldn't have these problems!) You can't argue that other people's experiences aren't valid. (I have a female friend who disagrees with you!) There is no win.
And at the end of the day, when women on a list intended for increasing female participation rates tell men that they are awesome but maybe the men could fork off and women could try to develop their own solutions get told the deputy director of the organisation, Erik Möller that:
IMO this list was started as an inclusive forum for discussion of
gender gap among equal participants. Discrimination by gender doesn't
make sense to me. My vote goes to common sense rules, election of a
male and female moderator, and enforcement of those rules into actual
practice (without discrimination by gender). In other words,
egalitarianism and sensible moderation.
If people want to run female-only lists or groups, I think that can be
useful and good, but should be done separately.
What more can you say? Erik Möller's offer I'm sure seemed to be non-sexist to him. I'm sure he didn't mean to imply that if there was a problem on the list, that women were not comfortable with the level of sexism and male domination on the list, that they should leave. I'm sure Erik Möller did not mean to imply here that WOMEN were interfering with Wikipedia's goal of increasing female participation on Wikipedia. I'm reasonably certain that Erik Möller didn't intend to use an argument historically used to suppress minority opinions when he said he refused to engage because our tone was not correct. I'm sure Erik Möller is a good guy. That doesn't mean that Erik Möller isn't a sexist, because Erik Möller is being sexist. He may be well meaning but that just makes him a well meaning sexist, who parrots wanting to help women while throwing up all sorts of new hurdles for increasing women's participation on Wikipedia.
One of those hurdles on for increasing women's representation on Wikipedia is Erik Möller, who put his own male ego before the greater good because Erik Möller couldn't see his own male privilege and acknowledge it, learn from it, and then work towards improving the situation. Another hurdle is the two male administrators on the list. There is sexism on that list and the male administrators let it continue. They don't ban the most offensive sexists. Erik Möller and the administrators have apparently come to a conclusion: They would rather that women leave the list than to hurt male feelings.
Wikipedia needs to be fixed. It just needs to be fixed from the outside. Projects like Women4Wikipedia are a good start.

When I'm in the car and it's around noon, I always make sure the radio is on 99.5 WGAR. Why? you may ask. Every weekday for the past few years, they play the National Anthem. It may seem silly to some people, but every time I hear it, it reminds me of 9/11, all those we lost, and all those protecting our great country, both here and abroad.
Jim Bass, of Mike Bass Ford, who sponsors the noon time lunch break, mentioned that you really don't hear the National Anthem played anywhere outside sporting events. "It demonstrates our patriotism, reminds those that hear the anthem on the radio of the sacrifices made over the years for us to enjoy the freedom in such a great country."
What makes a great National Anthem? It's got to give me goose bumps, as this one from Martina McBride does. Which is your favorite?

Besides, Eli played like a back-up most of 2007, so what does that prove?
The sensitivity surrounding Eli is comical. Saying he's not elite doesn't in any way mean he's saying he's trash.
Phil is a borderline HOF'er but probably wont get in. There's nothing shameful in that.
lol Phil Simms probably also got to watch some of the Bengals game too and got upset like the rest of us. He was just praising Eli during the Steelers game last week.

Scottish crime writer Ian Rankin tells Stephen Jewell how he was able to revive the career of his popular hero, who's still looking for the nearest pub.
When I meet Ian Rankin at his publisher's Covent Garden offices, we are just down the road from Peter Gordon's West End cafe, Kopapa. This is fitting because London's flourishing Kiwi cafe culture has spread north of the border and into the pages of the Edinburgh author's bestselling thrillers. His latest, Standing In Another Man's Grave - which features the unexpected return of Detective Inspector John Rebus, pitting him against Internal Affairs officer Malcolm Fox - includes a couple of characters who partake of that ubiquitous Antipodean beverage, the flat white.
"It took off in Scotland about a year ago and I guess it's a marker for anyone who's bored with lattes and wants to move on to something new," laughs Rankin. "It's slightly different but not all that different. It's not something I drink myself but it's something other people might drink. Malcolm Fox might drink it because he's more middle class and sees himself as upwardly mobile but it's not something Rebus would drink. He's not going to buy an expensive coffee - he's too busy looking for the nearest pub."
After allowing him to sail off into the sunset in 2007's 17th Rebus novel, Exit Music, Rankin had no plans to bring the veteran policeman back until real life circumstance intervened. "As far as I was concerned, he had to retire because cops had to retire at 60 and that was that," says Rankin, who believes Rebus would have gone on to work for Edinburgh's Cold Case Unit on a freelance basis.
"He didn't want to leave but he's been pushed out because of his age, so all the time I've been writing the other books, that's what he's been doing. Then at the end of last year, they increased the retirement age to 65-67 and invited the old cops to reapply. There's no doubt that Rebus would want to get back into CID, because he loves being a detective."
If Rebus did attempt to get his old job back, Rankin believes he would inevitably cross paths with Fox, who appeared in The Complaints (2009) and last year's The Impossible Dead. "He'd have to go through a vetting process so Malcolm Fox would have input into that," he says. "He wouldn't want Rebus back, because he thinks Rebus is the kind of cop whose time has passed. There's no room any more for people like him, who go by instinct and cut corners. He's worried that if he comes back, he'll infect the other cops."
Centring around a decade-old missing person's case, which is linked to some more recent cases, Standing In Another Man's Grave reunites Rebus with D.S. - now D.I. - Siobhan Clarke and his old adversary, Edinburgh crime boss, Big Ger Cafferty.
"I had this notion for a book that had been on the backburner for a long time about a parent whose child disappeared years ago and they can't let go," says Rankin. "When I pulled out my file of old ideas, there it was, staring me in the face."
Seconded back to his old department, Rebus finds that much has changed in his absence, with devices like computers and mobile phones playing an increasing role in police investigations.
"He doesn't understand things like Twitter and Facebook," says Rankin. "People dismiss him because he hasn't got all this technology at his disposal. But when he does the shoe leather stuff and knocks on doors and asks people questions, his instincts kick in. It's something that happens to anybody who has a career where the technology is constantly changing. You can very quickly find yourself on the scrapheap."
Although he is a prolific tweeter, Rankin still prefers the personal touch. "If you're sitting in a room talking to somebody, you're going to get a much better sense of them than if you're doing a phone interview," he says. "It's better if you can see the whites of their eyes and if they're twitchy or not. Crime writers need to be aware of how quickly technology changes as we mostly write in the here and now. You need to keep it realistic and also bear in mind that most cops who are in their 60s like Rebus wouldn't necessarily understand it all."
With Rebus journeying to Inverness and the Highlands, fans won't be able to participate in tours of the novel's significant locations as they have for many of Rankin's other books. "Scotland is a very small country but there's a whole lot we don't know too much about," says Rankin. "Most people never go there, especially someone like Rebus, who is kind of an urban guy. When he goes out of Edinburgh, he's very much out of his comfort zone and there's a line where he says he's probably never been further from a pub in his life."
Rankin is hoping to enjoy some similar experiences when he takes some time out during his upcoming promotional visit to New Zealand to explore a few of the South Island's more remote corners.
"It's like there's hundreds of miles between decent conurbations and it really seems like you're in the middle of nowhere," he says. "But as I get older, I quite like that sense that there's still a wilderness out there."
Perhaps the South Island's distinctive landscapes will provide Rankin with some much-needed inspiration. "Everybody thinks that all writers know what they're going to be doing in the next two to three years, but I have no idea," he admits.
"I've got to start researching a new book in November and then start writing it in January. But I've got nothing. I've not got a plot, a theme or any of the characters. I don't know if it's going to be a Rebus or a Malcolm Fox book or if it'll be a standalone. The panic will set in soon and I'll start to get trembly and sweaty. I'll probably be desperately trying to think of what my next book is about when I'm in New Zealand and just hoping that something channels its way to me."
Standing In Another Man's Grave (Orion $39.99) is out now. Ian Rankin will appear at The Spencer on Byron Hotel, Takapuna, on November 12, 7pm-8.30pm; see eventfinder.co.nz

So, K-1 Hasn't Paid Alistair Overeem
- Published in K-1
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
You know, with all of the hype going into the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP, you'd think an interview with Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion from ESPN wouldn't slip through the cracks, but it did. To me, that speaks volumes for just how tired of hearing about K-1's financial problems people are, as well as how few people pay attention to ESPN's MMA Live. No offense intended for MMA Live, but the close affiliation to UFC and the complete lack of coverage of the rest of the world of MMA (it serves as an afterthought, usually) has made the show less-than a must-see for most fans.
Well, regardless of how worthwhile it is to watch MMA Live, over the weekend they spoke with Alistair Overeem, and most MMA websites picked up the interview for purposes of predictions and to gaze into Overeem's dreamy eyebrows, but what struck me was that Alistair Overeem claims that K-1 has yet to pay him and that he would actually prefer not to fight in Japan this year, he would rather just fight in America.
This just serves as a gentle reminder of how business matters in Japan have effected the sport of kickboxing as a whole. If everything is in order for K-1, it looks like Alistair Overeem has no plans on fighting for them this year and will continue to fight in the United States for Strikeforce instead. Watch the below video at about the 4:30 mark as Anik asks if K-1 has paid him and Overeem jovially says they didn't. Ouch.

What a stunning place.........simply took our breath away as soon as we started driving down the valley into the South lake tahoe.... could only imagine what the views would be like when we got to the top of the mountain......
Ever since we arrived in Reno we knew this was going to be a wicked skiing break...... even the gambling tables and fruit machines lined up all over the airport weren't going to put us off! Well, Reno is supposed to be the mini Las Vegas..... and mini it was..... you could blink and miss it......only because of all the neon signs.... made my eyes blink...!!
Anyway we weren't staying in Reno so we jumped on a coach and an hour and a half later we were in Lake Tahoe
Checked in our Condo...hee hee... yep CONDO, and then headed out to pick up boots and ski's (well I just had to buy a new pair..... now I have two pairs haha... sorry Uni joke) and some food from the local supermarket. I was in my element going after all of the old American food I used to love.....!! Whatever calories we managed to burn off on the slopes we were going to put on with junk food!! YUM YUM!!!!
I have to mention one of the yummiest meals we have ever had, not just on honeymoon, but I mean ever......!!!
Two words.... NAKED FISH!!! Oh my gawd....it was the scummiest sushi restaurant that we both have ever been to..... even Nobu in London can't compete!! We loved it soooo much that we went back again on our last meal in Tahoe.
Tahoe has kind of a ranchey feel to it and the vastness of the place completely makes you feel that you are in the wilderness but at the same time being part of a small town community
As you can imagine.... I couldn't stop laughing!!!! Soooo so so funny!! Bless!!
Next day we ventured off up to the top of the mountain on the High speed Gondola..... It was one of those mountains where it seems to go on forever and just when you are thinking that you are nearing the top.... there's another final peak for the Gondola to navigate.... well I say navigate.... it's not like you can steer a Gondola!!
When we finally hit the top we took one look back and then WHAM!!!!!
We had 6 days of enjoying the views and fresh air where time simply flew by..... I don't think even a year of skiing would ever tire us from the beauty. It was kind of weird as on one side of the valley (California side) you saw mountains and the Lake.... on the other side (Nevada side) you could just see arid yellow and brown land with mountains surrounding..... a complete contrast of views!! Misha took to ski's like a duck to water and was soon tearing the slopes up..... well..... as much as one could possibly tear up at 10 mph!! hee hee!
We left Lake Tahoe wanting more.....needing more..... it was the one place we could both just look at each other and say nothing but realise we could be happy and settled here!!! Ah well maybe one day.... onwards to San Fran before getting back to blighty!! Boooooo!!!!

The memories are never far from my grasp. It was late summer in 1996, my first morning in Rome in ten years. I stood between my son and daughter, then 10 and 14, each quietly taking in the exuberant activity by the Trevi Fountain. They loved the statues spitting water and the occasional visitor attempting to wade into the water only to be chased away by an ever-vigilant squad of municipal police. But what ran through my mind was the scene from Federico Fellini's film masterpiece La Dolce Vita: Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni taking a midnight dip in the fountain's cool waters. It was that cinematic moment that inspired my passionate affair with Rome.
I first saw that movie in New York City. I was alone, just barely in my teens, far removed from the glitter and spectacle and history of Rome. But by the time the final credits rolled and I eased out of a tight aisle for the long walk back to a cramped apartment I shared with my parents, I was ready to live life the Italian way.
I have never lost that desire.
I visit Italy often these days for business and family, but mainly to reconnect with the places I most cherish. Especially Rome. I walk the majestic curves of Via Vittorio Veneto and imagine what it was like in the heady 1960s when it was truly the beating heart of the Italian movie world. A time when directors Vittorio De Sica and Fellini, along with their fellow musketeers Mastroianni, Vittorio Gassman and, of course, Sophia Loren, formed their own version of Sinatra's Rat Pack and tossed a fresh coat of style on a city already knee deep in elegance and culture.
Down the years, I've written parts of a novel, sitting on a wooden bench, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Borghese Garden, where lovers, young and old, stroll quietly past. I have my favorite Roman meal—pasta with artichokes and baby squid in a thick red sauce—at Café Romano, a restaurant near the Spanish Steps that many a concierge will tell you is merely a bar. I've shopped at the Campo de' Fiori, eaten my share of dinners in the middle of the always-crowded-but-never-rushed madness of Gioia Mia, and walked the steep hills and rocky terrain once trod by gladiators and emperors.
But my Roman voyage always begins and ends with a stop at the Trevi Fountain and a long stroll on the Via Vittorio Veneto, accompanied by the memories of La Dolce Vita, one very special movie that long ago taught an impressionable young boy how very easy it is to fall in love with a city.

Crow Wing County Landfill Site opens for summer hours
The Crow Wing County Landfill Site will begin summer hours starting the first weekend in April and operate 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The county landfill takes household garbage but many residents do not realize the landfill will accept other items such as fiberglass boats, mattresses, furniture and mobile homes. The County Landfill also has a demolition landfill to dispose of demolition materials. Residents are also encouraged to use the free compost site to dispose of material from gardens, leaves, lawn clippings or branches.
Certain items are banned from the actual landfill; however, there are specified drop-off locations at the county landfill site to dispose of these items for a small fee. Appliances or white goods such as refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washers and dryers, stoves, hot water heaters and microwaves; electronics such as computers and their components, TVs VCR/DVDs, stereos and telephones; tires with or without rims; and scrap metals such as lawn mowers, grills, metal piping are all recycled.
The county landfill site also provides the following services for free or a small, nominal fee: recycling of glass, plastics, metal and paper, used motor oil/antifreeze, and lead-acid car/marine batteries for residents. There is a 50 cent fee for oil filters and $1 per gallon of antifreeze.
The environmental services solid waste office number is 218-824-1290.

A Halloween costume will not disguise your drunk or drug impaired driving. Officers will increase their patrols to specifically look for drunk drivers on our roadways. The stepped up enforcement runs Friday, October 25, 2013 through Friday, November 1, 2013.
Halloween night is one of the deadliest times of the year for drunk drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 48 percent of highway deaths nationwide on Halloween night in 2010 involved a drunk driver.
The Lakeland Police Department recommends these simple tips for a safe Halloween celebration:
• Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.
• Before drinking, designate a sober, 'non drinking' driver.
• If you're impaired, take a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation.
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don't hesitate to report drunk drivers, Call 911.
• And remember, Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

Student Spotlight: UTSA chemistry graduate student Magaly Salinas invited to attend Nobel laureates meeting in Germany
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 17, 2009)--This month, doctoral student Magaly Salinas will do what no Roadrunner has ever done before. A UTSA graduate student in organic chemistry, Salinas will attend the 59th Meeting of Nobel Laureates and Students in Lindau, Germany. At the meeting, scheduled for June 28 to July 3, Salinas will discuss scientific research, network and dine with the world's finest chemists and chemistry students.

- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Approximately 600 students from 66 countries are expected to attend the invitation-only meeting. Salinas is one of seven attendees from Texas and one of 72 students representing the United States at the prestigious event, which is slated to include such notable chemists as 2007 Nobel laureate Gerhard Ertl, who made significant advances in surface chemistry, and 1995 Nobel laureate F. Sherwood Rowland who, along with co-recipients Paul Xrutzen and Mario Molina, discovered that chlorofluorocarbons contribute to ozone depletion.
Salinas is one of many graduate students supported by the UTSA Minority Biomedical Research Support-Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (MBRS-RISE) program, which offers a monthly stipend, research training and other career-development support to minority students pursuing doctorate degrees in the sciences. She researches alongside George R. Negrete, the chemistry professor who encouraged her to apply to attend the Nobel laureates meeting this summer.
"Magaly is a very serious and committed graduate student, and she understands the Nobel Laureates meeting is a rare opportunity for personal and professional development," Negrete said. "As an underrepresented female student who is passionate about research, the impact of her participation will be felt by the others she will mentor throughout her career."
Salinas, however, lauds Negrete for making her aware of the elite opportunity.
"Dr. Negrete is eager to help his students," Salinas notes. "He's always looking for ways to expand his students' experiences -- to get them to attend scientific meetings. He brought this opportunity to me and encouraged me to apply."
Negrete's passion for teaching has resonated strongly with Salinas. Following his lead, the 25-year-old doctoral student intends to graduate with her Ph.D. from UTSA and aspires to have a career in science that includes an academic position at a university where she can do cutting-edge research as well as shape students' minds in the science field.
"I would be delighted to share my experience from this conference with the Hispanic community located in the Rio Grande Valley -- a region of South Texas that borders Mexico, where science is not a primary focus," said Salinas. "As an Hispanic female scientist, I hope to inspire students from all academic levels to become interested in a career in science. This once in a lifetime opportunity will not only help me develop as a scientist but also inspire students from weak science regions to pursue careers in this field. The knowledge to be gained from this experience will undoubtedly serve and foster my graduate career in chemistry, as well as make me a well-rounded scientist."
Ironically, Salinas wasn't one of those students who knew from early childhood that she wanted to be a chemist. Rather, she had her eyes set on pharmacy school, after earning her certificate as a pharmacy technician at her South Texas high school, a magnet school for future health professionals. Her plans changed the summer she went to work in a neighborhood pharmacy. Although she performed the job well, the environment didn't quite fit her vision of the future.
"It just wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life," she said.
So, she turned to chemistry. At the University of Texas-Pan American (UTPA), Professor Narayan G. Bhat introduced Salinas to organic chemistry. Under his tutelage, she explored the development of new synthetic methodology highlighting control of double-bond stereochemistry with the use of organometallic reagents. She completed her bachelor's degree in 2006 and continued at UTPA, where she received her master's degree two years later. Now at UTSA, Salinas is just a week away from meeting Nobel laureates.
So, what will Salinas pack to attend the chemistry party of the year? "" haven't packed yet; I hope I don't forget anything," she said.

MountainStar Sports makes presentation to Pacific Coast League
EL PASO, Texas - The El Paso group hoping to purchase a Triple-A Baseball team made a presentation in Dallas today to the Executive Committee of the Pacific Coast League of Minor League Baseball. The group made a case for El Paso to be a Triple-A market, but an immediate answer is not expected from Minor League Baseball or the League.
The El Paso owner group is MountainStar Sports Group, LLC, consisting of Woody L. Hunt, Chairman of Hunt Companies, Inc., Paul L. Foster, Executive Chairman of Western Refining, Inc., Joshua Hunt, Senior Vice President of Hunt Companies and Managing Director of Hunt Holdings, and Alejandra de la Vega Foster, President of Almacenes Distribuidores de la Frontera. Others presenting on behalf of the group were consultants Alan Ledford, founder of Perfect Game Ventures, LLC, and Dan Barrett, principal of Barrett Sports Group, LLC.
"We spent a very productive three hours with the Pacific Coast League today," said Josh Hunt. "We believe we made a positive, compelling case for El Paso as a viable Triple-A Baseball market, and we hope for a favorable response."
Hunt said that the League and Minor League Baseball do not approve or disapprove of a market right away; they take the time to do due diligence and any additional research they feel is needed.
"We believe we thoroughly addressed all of the League's questions, and presented the many good attributes of our City. As we have done throughout this effort, we respect the process of the League and Minor League Baseball and will wait for that process to take its course."

Make Way for Noddy is based on a recurring character in the Enid Blyton book series for very young readers. Noddy, a boy doll, lives in a little cottage in the village of Toyland. He tools around in his sporty convertible, delivers the mail, and is a friend to all. Because he is very kind to others, he invariably is asked to help solve problems. But because he doesn't know everything, he also has a lot to learn. In each episode Noddy actively finds a way manage a project, soothe hurt feelings, settle arguments, or learn how to do something new by following directions. The examples in each episode are age appropriate challenges for children in the target audience and model clear and concrete solutions to problems.
Tree Fu Tom, is a live action/animated series about a little boy who lives in a rural area and has a rich fantasy life in the woods behind his home. Tom uses specific movements to summon up magic powers that permit him to morph into an animated hero and fly around in Treetopolis, the fantasy version of his woods. While in Treetopolis, Tom and his friends, Ariella, Twigs, Squirmturn and Zigzoo will invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing.

When the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services needed to pour a 4000-foot bike path that connects an existing path in Burbank, Calif., to the North Hollywood arts district, it abandoned traditional wood forms in favor of reusable metal forms and a truss screed that simplified finishing.
In addition to saving the department time and money, the new 16-foot-wide, 6-inch-thick concrete path is strong enough to support the occasional emergency vehicle and sweeper.
Because wood forms can be used only for a limited number of times and are difficult to clean, the city decided to try Base Line heavy-duty forms from Milwaukee-based Metal Forms Corp. The 10-gauge steel forms incorporate box-type stake pockets with wedges, eliminating nailing and allowing quick vertical positioning without the need to pull nails. They also feature full-height end connections that easily connect the 10-foot form sections and provide full-depth alignment with a sturdy, reinforced joint.
Although the bike path is 6 inches thick, the city had purchased 4-inch forms, so workers set them on blocks to support the screed and provide the added height. Typically, the crew set the forms one day and poured the next. Reinforcing wire mesh was pulled up into concrete once poured.
"A crew of 12 worked best, with five people in front of the screed placing the concrete and pulling the wire mesh up; two people running the screed; and five more behind the screed running the bull float, cutting the edges and joints, and doing the final finishing and brooming," says street services supervisor Dennis Martin Jr.
Ready-mixed concrete with a 4-inch maximum slump was used to keep the moisture content low and prevent cracking, says supervisor Patrick Singleton, "and we let the screed do the rest of the work." The crew used Metal Forms's Speed Screed Cruiser vibrating truss screed to strike off, consolidate, and finish the concrete.
A construction joint was placed every 10 feet and an expansion joint every 200 feet. A saw-cut joint was used to divide the path into bicyclist and pedestrian lanes. For further definition, the finish was broomed longitudinally for the pedestrian portion and transversely for bicycles. Crew member Roy Ponce developed a longitudinal broom to finish along the path's length without walking on the fresh concrete. At both ends of the path, as well as at two intersections, sections were colored to form a decorative end cap using Los Angeles-based L.M. Scofield Co.'s "Sombrero Buff" coloring.
The path is laid on top of a 98% compacted, 4-inch-thick crushed aggregate base. Although no comparative cost figures are available, construction estimator Glenn Hoke figures the department saved enough money to buy forms for other jobs.

Are you and your spouse speaking the same language? While love is a many splendored thing, it is sometimes a very confusing thing, too. And as people come in all varieties, shapes, and sizes, so do their choices of personal expressions of love. But more often than not, the giver and the receiver express love in two different ways. This can lead to misunderstanding, quarrels, and even divorce.

Quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch are the five basic love languages. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these and guides couples towards a better understanding of their unique languages of love. Learn to speak and understand your mate's love language, and in no time you will be able to effectively love and truly feel loved in return. Skillful communication is within your grasp!

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.
How do you discover your spouses and your own love language? Chapmans short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.
Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like hoping the feelings of affection will follow later a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.From the Back Cover:

ARE YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE
SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE?

He sends you flowers when what you really want is time to talk. She gives you a hug when what you really need is a home-cooked meal. The problem isn't your love--it's your love language!

In this international best seller, Dr. Gary Chapman reveals how different people express love in different ways. In fact, there are five specific languages of love:

-Quality Time
-Words of Affirmation
-Gifts
-Acts of Service
-Physical Touch

What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your spouse. But here, at last, is the key to understanding each other's unique needs. Apply the right principles, learn the right language, and soon you'll know the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love--and feeling truly loved in return.

May 1, 2006
Dear Colleague:
Last year, Secretary Spellings called on the private school community to become providers of supplemental educational services (SES) under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Since that time, the U.S. Department of Education has received questions about private school participation in providing SES. In response to these questions, and to ensure that private schools, as well as the State and local educational agencies administering SES, have the information they need, the Department is pleased to provide the enclosed guidance on the participation of private schools in providing SES.
Supplemental educational services are tutoring and other academic enrichment provided outside of the regular school day to eligible public school students to help improve achievement in reading, language arts, and math. Parents of eligible students may obtain these services for their children free of charge from an approved SES provider of their choice. Under NCLB, private schools are eligible to become approved providers and to receive payment for providing SES to eligible public school students.
The guidance on the participation of private schools in providing SES supplements the Department's SES non-regulatory guidance released in June 2005 and information on SES contained in the brochure, Opportunities for Private Schools to Provide Extra Academic Help to Disadvantaged Students, released in October 2005. The guidance amplifies certain issues addressed in these previously released documents, such as whether Federal civil rights requirements apply to SES providers, and also provides information on new topics, such as whether a private school SES provider may simultaneously provide tutoring services to its own students.
Please note that while the guidance is written with private schools in mind, its applicability is not limited to the private school community. Faith-based and community organizations and other private and public entities interested in SES may also find this guidance helpful.
Additional copies of the enclosed guidance are available at www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/onpe/sesguidance.html. Also, the current SES non-regulatory guidance is available at MS Word, (882K). The brochure Opportunities for Private Schools to Provide Extra Academic Help to Disadvantaged Students is available at www.ed.gov/admins/comm/suppsvcs/privschools/opportunities.html.
We hope this guidance will be of use to State and local educational agencies and the private school community, and will contribute to increasing participation in SES by private schools. If you have any questions about private school participation in providing SES, please contact the Department's Office of Non-Public Education at 202-401-1365 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The data on travel time to work were derived from answers to Question 34 in 2012 American Community Survey. This question was asked of people who indicated in 2012 ACS Question 29 that they worked at some time during the reference week, and who reported in 2012 ACS Question 31 that they worked outside their home. Travel time to work refers to the total number of minutes that it usually took the worker to get from home to work during the reference week. The elapsed time includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up passengers in carpools, and time spent in other activities related to getting to work. (See "Reference Week.")

Post-Graduate level Internet Operations

Comments about oreilly Web Operations:
Think of this book as a post-graduate level "Introduction to Internet Support". The authors advocate all those things experienced technicians know make the real difference; metrics, disaster planning, cross-team communication...the list goes on and on.If you're a technician, read this book and start working the practices. Graph some performance, spend time with the coders, think through how you might deal with double or triple your current traffic or server load. You will become the "go to" person when there are questions and your career will get a lot more fun!At the (Project) Manager level? Buy copies for everyone on your team and start enabling them. Focus on one or two avenues and break down the barriers to effective efficiency. Demonstrate the advantages to your senior managment so they green light bigger, more challenging tasks. Find those one or two folks whose minds are open to the possibilities and give them a copy of Making Things Happen: Mastering Project Management (Theory in Practice (O'Reilly)). Expect others to look to you for advice.This isn't a "Try this code" sort of book! There's a bit of challenge if you go to work, ask about metrics, and get blank stares. Challenge...opportunity...options. Read the book, find what really excites you, and go make things better.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We just build them ourselves, that way its what we want.
We just build them ourselves, that way its what we want.
No one is perfect, mistakes happen. Call them up and express you feelings, maybe there was some flaw. Maybe a new dude or dudet were running the saws that day. They have excellent customer service. I would go that way prior to bashing on here.
And I thought they were perfect. I just cut a 19 7/8" piece of one by ten and I have a lid...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
We build our 5 frame NUC's to hold 5 frames and an internal feeder.
This is the dilyo with SPACE for frame manipulation for the bees JRH that I think others are trying to point out that you may be missing! No matter how many frames or what size box or width of frames you have you want a certain amount of wiggle room to pull any given frame for what ever reason. You need to be able to squeeze frames aside and pull the frame you want out with out rolling bees on bridge comb. you will be thankful that you have an inch of forgiveness when you pull a frame out so you dont roll bees or the QUEEN herself.
That may seem exesive for a five frame box but when you are making nucs with frames five years old, may be dealing with queen cells, cages, and the like you need that inch of space not matter if it is one frame, or 20. Just squeeze your frames to one side leaving a frame with stores to the open side in your nucs.
All that said, I would not want the boxes you have with the lack of space on bottom. That I find odd and would call and complain about. You need space bellow frames so you dont crush bees when you put frames back in. You also have to account for burr comb one bottom bars. I find the depth dimensions of your boxes poor craftsmanship and would try to send them back.
What I found that works great for me is building the nuc wide enough for five frames and a frame feeder and maybe a quarter to 3/8" play (I find the width of a 1" x 10" perfect so it does not have to be riped). I also leave about an inch of room for underneath the frames so I can make nucs with swarm cells that are built on the very bottom of frames and so the queens dont ever get crushed during inspection. When I need to pull frames I have found that I can pull the feeder strait up without rolling any bees because there is very rarely comb built on outside of them or propolis and the plastic is smooth and bees dont get washborded on the side of it when it comes out like they do against comb. Then I have all the space in the world to pull my first frame out with almost no risk of killing the queen which is the most important concern of mine. I also have the capacity to add another frame to the box if they are getting crowded to relieve congestion till I can come back in a week or so with a ten frame box.
Thanks for your comments. In my original post I mentioned three problems:
- the extra width (which I thought unnecessary)
- that most of my outer covers don't fit the extra width
- and that there is no bee space above or below the frames
In reading the comments which followed, it is clear that there is no correct width for a nuc box and that various widths have staunch defenders!
Whose outer covers do you have?
Trying to think inside the box...
I ordered a BM deep nuc box last year and used it as a template to build four more of my own. When I put it together I thought "oh thank god I have some extra room to pull a frame out."
I bought a nuc box from Bjorn when I first started out, and that thing held five frames and nothing else. If one of the frames had some propolis on it, you had a hard time getting it in there. In fact, another beekeeper in NC (that I bought a nuc from, and had him put it in this box) told me it was crazy small, and he would have to "talk to Bjorn about what he's building." Of course it was made to be a transport nuc, not an all season nuc.
If I had the choice, I would build all my equipment the way BM built theirs. As a matter of fact, I designed all my nuc bottom boards, tops, and medium boxes to their dimensions. Everything works well for me.
To each their own though.

I botched it in a few ways, but I think they're doing ok. This is a video I made of me doing it:
The plans called for nailed in top-bars, and so when it came time to think about install, I didn't know what to do and so basically put a half box on thinking I'd take it right back off - but they didn't go down into the hive really and now I think are building onto the bottom of my hive-top feeder in that half box...also I didn't mean to directly release the queen, but I did.
They seem pretty happy, lots of flying in and out and the box where they are feels toasty from the outside. They've been bringing out the dead ones that were in the box - since it's on my roof, I go out and sweep them up periodically - is it normal to find lots of drones? I've so far found three dead drones laying around - the first one I saw I thought was my queen and panicked - but it was rounder and not marked. I've posted a bunch of pictures and another video in my blog:
I'm still feeling a little nervous about queen acceptance, but I think they're going to be ok.

Welcome from Michigan.:)
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Welcome from Michigan.:)
Hello, and another Michigan welcome!
Hi. Welcome from Virginia!!
When I first joined a quilt group in Las Vegas, they were making this quilt bag. I love it!! Carries an awful lot and has plenty of pocket space. Holds a 12x18 cutting board along with rulers, books, thread, pin cushion, a couple of quilts, etc. I used packaged binding for the pocket edges (instead of turning hems) and all around the bag. Less expensive to make your own. Also, I put velcro on one side of the dowel closure so that I could take them out to wash it. Also came in handy when my son's dog thought the handles were a chew toy!!! It is made with the prequilted fabric, but you could make your own fabric, then cut it out! Hope this helps!!
ps. The 7" cut is the piece that goes all around the bag to make the bottom and sides. Of course, I got carried away and used what was left of the fabric, about 10", so it could even carry my machine!!
handle cut out
my packed bag
Thanks to Krafty14 for the pattern, I'm going to try to make this soon.
I have found two patterns:
They are called log carriers, but I have seen these in use for carrying multiple quilts.
One is on the JoAnns website in their pattern section.
The other is on the Bernina website.
These are both free patterns. The JoAnns one is very simple, while the Bernina one is a little more involved.
Go to Goodwill - find two quilted pillowshams. Sew them together on three sides and add a carrying strap. Makes a perfect quilt carrier.Originally Posted by thimblefingers

Hello from Central PA. Can't help you with the pattern but I see there are some great ones on this thread.
Hi! Welcome from Kansas. I'm making my DD a big tote that's about 21" by 18" tall. I got the pattern free from 3 creative studios.

Reviews of this property
Hi Nicole! Staying at your place, with you and your lovely pugs, was the best choice we could have done. We had a wonderful time in LA and enjoyed our chats and your easy and very helpful personality and style:) You are also a very intelligent woman that really did inspired all of us and especially my kids with visions and hope. Your house is spacious and with a lot of character. We loved it. We are also grateful for all advices, information, on attractions and so on... We had everything we needed for a perfect holiday.
Of course we are comming back as soon as we can! We miss you all!!!
We had a super stay with Niki. She opened her house for me, my newborn baby and my amazing friend Ingunn. Breakfasts were awesome, our talks were so great! We loved the garden/backyard and just the whole eclectic atmosphere. Just fantastic! <3
Our stay at that cozy home of Niki
"Feel like being at home!" she said when she welcomed us. And we felt like being at home from the very beginning. We talked about so many topics, we learned a lot about the American way of living, about how to find the way or how to understand the traffic rules. Her house is indeed very cozy the garden with the swimming pool invites you to relax. But you want of course to get to know LA. Niki gives you tips, explains the way or gives a secret where to stay on the beach! Although Woodlands seems to be far away from LA (Nobody knows where it starts and ends!) it is close to the main freeways. So you can reach Universal Studios or Santa Monica quite easy. Besides of that Woodland is a very nice area.
So there is no better place to stay like Nikis home and to discover LA. Enjoy it!
And finally many thanks to Niki, the wonderful host!

We ordered a 13 days stay at Niki's residence. This was defenitly one of the best decisions we have ever made. Niki is a warm & social person who realy takes care about you. She gave us valuable information about L.A. that only locals knows. Niki made our stay in L.A. one of our best holidays!
• Beautiful villa & furniture
• Niki, she's the best host you can find in L.A.
• Garden & swimmingpool
• Safe & quiet neighbourhood
• Good breakfast
• Valuable Information that only local people knows
• 4 adorable funny dogs
• Free parking places
• Short distance to the beach (Maibu) & other places in L.A.
• Clean rooms & a good bed
• I didn't found one!
Be smart. Don't choose a boring hotel. Book at Niki! Really worth all 5 stars!
My next stay in L.A. will be here again.
Niki is a lovely host. She was quick to respond to my initial emails and inquiries and the booking process was fast and smooth. As soon as we arrived, she welcomed us with open arms and a warm embrace. Her bubbly personality made us immediately feel at home and what a home she has! The house is full of character and charm and the four adorable pugs are the cherry on top. During our entire week stay, Niki shared with us tons of local insights and was very sociable while still respecting our privacy. Her breakfast is also very tasty, fresh, and healthy. Definitely recommend staying with Niki for anyone traveling in LA! :)
We spent 3 amazing days in Los Angeles thanks to Nicole.
She is a great host. She gave us a lot of good advices to visit all the best places in Los Angeles. We didn't have a navigator and she took the time each morning to explain us the roads to take.
In her house, we felt like in our own house. We did appreciate having breakfast outside next to the pool under the californian sunshine. It was not usual for us! Nicole's breakfast is so good. (coffee, cappucino, milk, orange juice, cheese, bagels, waffles, jam, a lot of fruits ...)
The room is big and the bed is very comfortable. Nicole lavished attention on her guests (some bottles of water, chips, fruits are in the room).
Nicole is a very nice person. She made the effort to speak slowly and clearly and she always smiles. Her dogs are funny and not annoying.
We definitely recommand Nicole's house for your stay in LA.

Dear Nicole, we loved staying at your place. Great hospitality, fresh fruits and bagles in the morning. we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Such a relax hide out after the city excitement. Look forward to our next stay, and drink some calefornian wine together! Regards simon & liesbeth
I want to thank to Nicole for providing such amazing service for those two lovely days in her house. I can't help myself but must say everything was above our expectations and if I knew someone going to LA I would recommend this place for sure.
The room and whole house was clean with all of the necessary equipment. The location was ideal, close to the beaches and close to the city.
Nicole is a great hostess. We were welcome with wonderfull attention, lots of little products in the room that make the stay very confortable, when you travel light. Nicole may also prepare breakfasts, that are exceptional.
My daugther asked me if we could come back one day.
We had a wonderful stay in Nicole's house! Her rooms are comfortable and the house is really nice we enjoyed the pool!
Nicole is a really good host she helped us to plan our trip and gave us a lot of useful advice she's always ready to that. There was a family atmosphere in there you feel at home away from home!

We popped out of bed the next day to pick up the next part of our package which was car hire for 3 days. So we got ourselves a nice little car for bombing around the island or so we thought. They have a saying over here called "Bula Time"
We had managed to reschedule the tour that we missed the previous evening so we decided to stay local and we headed to Denaru to the resort areas of the island. We went down to the Sheraton and Westin to have an old snorkel. What was very strange was that all of these people who were actually staying there were sitting by the pool, which was on the beach. So we were about the only people actually in the sea. The sea was very shallow and very warm and it was really nice but cos it was so shallow we had to walk out quite far so there wasn't a lot of fish to see so we just had a paddle around. The water was so warm even compared to Aussie so it was nice to have a swim around and it got us nicely hungry for our dinner cruise. So we had a few drinks by the pool in the hotel and toddled off to the cruise. We got there to a nice complimentary glass of Champers which was a really good start. There were also a couple of guys with guitars singing away. While we were having a few drinks and starters they were asking people where they were from and singing relevant songs
The next morning we decided to head off down south towards the other main city on the island. Our first port of call was Natadola Beach. Now we had a rough guide or lonely planet or guide to the arse crack of the world or something for Fiji and we were told that this was probably the nicest beach in the whole of Fiji. So we followed the instructions and took the poor little Toyota Echo (A saloon version of the Yaris.) up and down some of the worst terrain known to man. We soon ran out of tarmac and then we ran out of gravel and we were driving on dirt roads. We were up and down more times than a Thai hooker. We heard some scraping sounds coming from under the car which didn't sound too healthy but we carried on regardless. After about 30 minutes of this madness we came across a small town where the ground levelled out. We finally got our first view of the beach unfortunately the road was blocked by a fallen tree and some boulders
We parked and hopped out. It looked like a real local family place and it was choc a bloc full of Indians so obviously we headed up the beach as far away as possible. We found a spot where the sea came in and split the beach in two so you could swim from one side to the other. While we were picking a spot we were approached by an old guy who offered us a boat ride. We didn't have much time or money with us so we said no and he guilt tripped us something terrible saying "this is how I earn my living" and stuff. He gave us the puppy dog eyes and shuffled on. But we were there to swim not prop up the local economy so we got our snorkel on and went for a nice swim to the other side. On our way over Fiona was frantically calling me so over I went. She said that she saw a sea snake so I basically swam for my life but when I turned around she was still there. It seems that she was telling me not to warn me, like a normal person, but to get me to help her look for it, like a lunatic. I crept over but we couldn't find it again. Of course I got great fun out of telling Fiona that it was a figment of her imagination. Every time she couldn't find anything I kept telling her it was with the sea snake. We paddled around for a while and got to the other side to take a little break. The water was clear but there wasn't a lot of fish around to be seen. So we had another little paddle and then hit the road
The next day the weather wasn't so good so we headed north to Latoka. We were going to see an orchid garden. This was set up by Raymond Burr, of Ironside and Perry Mason fame, years ago to display his collection. It had some amazing displays of plants and even had a huge pond full of fish and frogs. We stayed there for a while and had a wander around. It was a nice place and we got some complementary juice when we were leaving. We drove around for a while taking in the sights before we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our dinner
Now we had booked both tours as part of the package before we came over. When we missed the first one because of flight delays they let us reschedule it but when Fi rang them about it they had no record of it. So we decided to double check on this booking and surprise, surprise (it's Cilla 'ere) there was no record of us. We rang the number given to us and got it sorted out. Then we looked at the tickets and the tour that we were supposed to be on and the name of the tour on one of the tickets was different
We got back totally knackered but it really was one of the highlights not just of the holiday but of the whole time we were away. We just flaked out that night and ordered a room service pizza (oh the decadence) and had a few beers. The mixture of the beer and a truly massive pizza pretty much did us in. Plus that and the fact that we had to pack cos we were getting turfed out at 10 in the morning (Bula time my arse) meant we took it easy. We had planned to spend the couple of hours between sit by the pool sipping cocktails. Of course when we got up the next morning it was like Dublin in January, absolutely beating down. So we had little choice but to collect our bags and head to the airport. When there we just got our selves something to eat, something to read and of course munchies for the plane (couldn't depend on our $3 windfall) and got settled in. We were flying back through Brisbane and so got into Sydney quite late. It was a really good break. The scenery was amazing and the people were really friendly. I would recommend Fiji to anyone who finds them selves in the neighbourhood. The local beer was Fiji Bitter and Fiji gold. Basically they do what they say on the tin. The gold is smooth and light (a birds beer in other words) and the bitter was strong and really tasted like beer not some coloured water. I can't recommend Fiji higher to anyone who happened to be in the neighbourhood. Pure class.

In a Monday morning segment with 850 KOA in Denver, Schefter said that Marshall asked owner Pat Bowlen to be traded during their Friday meeting.
Per Schefter, Marshall told Bowlen, I think Id like to be traded. Schefter said that Bowlen asked Marshall to take some time to consider whether he wants a new contract or a trade, and that Marshall is expected to stick to his guns.
Schefter also said that there are other teams in the league that are ready make a play for Marshall.
Just figured I would post this to see if some people wet their pants for nothing again haa

Well hello there, I have this problem that has been bugging me for more than a year now without a solution. Thought it shouldnt be that bad, but I just cant seem to find a way. On my site I have this dropdown menu using a css file as below, note I am not the one who designed the css:
/* ================================================================
This copyright notice must be untouched at all times.

=================================================================== */
/* common styling */
.ddmenu {width:100%; position:relative; z-index:100;}
.ddmenu ul li a, .ddmenu ul li a:visited {display:block; text-decoration:none; font-size:12px; color:#000;width:182px; height:20px; text-align:center; color:#fff; border:1px solid #fff; background:#222; line-height:20px; overflow:hidden;}
.ddmenu ul {padding:0; margin:0; list-style: none;}
.ddmenu ul li {float:left; position:relative;}
.ddmenu ul li ul {display: none;}
/* specific to non IE browsers */
.ddmenu ul li:hover a {color:#fff; background:#acacac;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; top:21px; left:0; width:182px;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li a.hide {background:#222; color:#fff;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover a.hide {background:#222; color:#000;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li ul {display: none;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li a {display:block; background:#ddd; color:#000;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li a:hover {background:#ededed; color:#000;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; left:182px; top:0;}
.ddmenu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul.left {left:-182px;}
And then I have an ajax profile tab for user profile pages, and the tabs css will make the dropdown menu disappear completely, nowhere to be find. I tried to alter the loading sequence of dropdown menu and profile tabs css, and it aint making any differences. I dont understand at all... Heres the ajax tab css, again I was not the designer of this css:
body { }
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
a { text-decoration: none; }
a:focus { outline: 0; }
p { margin: 0 0 20px 0; }
#page-wrap { width: 640px; margin: 30px;}
h1 { font: bold 40px Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 20px 0; }
/* Generic Utility */
.hide { position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px; }
/* Specific to example one */
#profile { background: #eee; padding: 10px; margin: 0 0 20px 0; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #666; }
#profile .nav { overflow: hidden; margin: 0 0 10px 0; }
#profile .nav li { width: 97px; float: left; margin: 0 10px 0 0; }
#profile .nav li.last { margin-right: 0; }
#profile .nav li a { display: block; padding: 5px; background: #959290; color: white; text-align: center; border: 0; }
#profile .nav li a:hover { background-color: #111; }
#profile ul { list-style: none; }
#profile ul li a { display: block; border-bottom: 1px solid #666; padding: 4px; color: #666; }
#profile ul li a:hover { background: #fe4902; color: white; }
#profile ul li:last-child a { border: none; }
#profile ul li.nav0 a.current, #profile ul.visitormessage li a:hover { background-color: #0575f4; color: white; }
#profile ul li.nav1 a.current, #profile ul.aboutme li a:hover { background-color: #d30000; color: white; }
#profile ul li.nav2 a.current, #profile ul.adopts li a:hover { background-color: #8d01b0; color: white; }
#profile ul li.nav3 a.current, #profile ul.friends li a:hover { background-color: #FE4902; color: white; }
#profile ul li.nav4 a.current, #profile ul.contactinfo li a:hover { background-color: #Eac117; color: white; }
I am completely stuck, and totally out of idea on how I can possibly fix it. I'd appreciate it very much if anyone of you can point out where the problem is and what I should do to fix it. If the worst came to worst, I may have to get rid of the tab css, although it will be a painful loss...
Have you got a link to the page in question as it will be easier to debug that way?
At the least we will need the html that goes with the above to make a demo that exhibits the bug you mention
Thanks for your reply. And yeah, heres the profile page for a demo site of my script. If you click on a user from the memberslist, you will notice that the dropdown menu disappears out of nowhere. Also you can use the 'view page source' to see loaded styles and what they are like: http://mysidiarpg.com/site/mys133/profile
On the profile pages, you have a script that is setting the menu links to display: none ...
element.style {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: none;
With JS off, this .hide style kicks in to move the links off screen again:
.hide {
position: absolute;
top: -9999px;
left: -9999px;
... so you have two knives in the back of your menu! I don't see much use in that script and the CSS, it might be better to ditch them altogether. What do you actually want that script to do?
Well the profile has an ajax tab system that works in a similar way as VBulletin's user profile tabs. The default tab is 'About Me', and if you click the other tabs the page will load these contents without refreshing. This is exactly the same effect I wish to achieve, but the css of dropdown menu is gone so long as you load the stylesheet of tabs. I doubt this has anything to do with javascript, since even if I load the stylesheet of profile tabs on other pages that do not use that javascript at all, the dropdown menu also disappear magically. So yeah, with or without the javascript the two css are conflicting. Do you know if theres a way to resolve the problem? o_o
What happens if you just remove the class='hide' from your top menu links? That is causing CSS to apply that seems to be intended for the tab menu instead.
I see, that was the problem. I changed the class .hide to .hides in the dropdown menu and its working perfectly now. Thank you so much for this advice!
Cool, glad that helped. I don't see the change online yet, but presumably you don't need the class at all, unless there is some .hides {} code in your style sheet.
Oh yeah, it was great help, I appreciate your comment very much. For a while I thought the javascript was the cause of this issue, turns out that it was the css instead. The demo site was for the current version(v1.3.3) of my script, I fixed the profile tabs glitch in the next version which is still in alpha stage(v1.3.4 alpha). Here is the link if you want to take a look, the profile tabs are not interfering with dropdown menu anymore:http://mysidiarpg.com/site/mys134a/profile/view/Hall%20of%20Famer
Cool, nice to see. As I mentioned, class="hides" has no purpose (at least at this stage) so you might as well remove it. If you ever need to target those s, you can do so like this:
.ddmenu li a {}
I see, that sounds like a good option. I will give a try later on and see how it goes, again I appreciate all your helps for this issue. I've posted this on various php/html/css forums and never got an answer as insightful before, let alone this quickly. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Glad to be able to help.

Meadham Kirchhoff Fall 2011
It was possibly the fastest fashion show ever, over and done within the time—it seemed less than five minutes—it took a group of models to assemble in lines, like schoolgirls, file out at top speed, make one circuit of the runway, follow with an equally swift obligatory final lap, and disappear. Who were they? A cult of delinquent convent girls with witchy tendencies and a liking for Chanel? And what was that set they were walking around—two makeshift roadside shrines to the riot grrrls, pinned with flowers, notes and photographs? Some designers get their shows over and done with in a concise way because they've boiled their clothes down to a no-brainer piece of broadcast communication. Not Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff. On the contrary, their collection was so densely layered with clothes and meanings, that the only way to fully appreciate what they had here was to run backstage and corner Ed Meadham into a conversation.
"It was about the subversive upturning of bourgeois things," he said. "We're coming from subculture, and it was about uniforms in many ways, and religion, which I hate." Essentially he and Kirchhoff are principled romantics who wish young women would be as feisty, feminist, and self-determining as the early nineties riot grrrls. The embroideries on white cotton-pleated shirtdresses, turn out to involve "lipsticks, pictures of little girls fighting, and ducks" taken from Bikini Kill, a riot grrrl zine put out by the founding members of the band with the same name. "And we want to support hand-craft," Meadham added. "We have all these skills, but people don't use them. So we had guernseys and stockings hand-knitted in Scotland. We had blankets woven specially for us. The chains and crosses were woven in straw by people who make corn dollies."
Essentially, the Meadham Kirchhoff woman is an independent spirit who is going to be more than rewarded by unpeeling the separates from this collection. "I thought it was good to keep it hidden," said Meadham, pulling up a tweed skirt to reveal yards and yards of fagotted tablecloth linen petticoat. Up close, the work in a white silk and lace-inserted blouse was miraculously delicate and chic, a revisiting of a MK classic: "those rotted lace blouses we did a while back." The new part is the way they're approaching the border of supposed conventionality: Chanel-like Linton tweeds, some of them beautifully dyed red and carnation-pink, and worn with ice-blue sweaters and socks, a color combination Meadham loves. "Yes, Chanel completely took over my brain a bit last year," he admitted. (She fits his ideal of a self-directed, feisty woman.) The coatdresses, pinafores, jackets and flounced skirts, all with underlayers of lace and pleated chiffon, looked incredible, made with a finesse that is a leap forward. Meadham Kirchhoff is now a total look which breaks down into so many components that the ways of buying and wearing it are thrown wide open. This is a consolidating and potentially transformative collection, hidden in plain sight by a blink-and-there-it-went presentation. Is that a problem? Or will it just be even better to discover the secrets of these amazing clothes when they're hanging on a rack in a store?

I have seen broached rail blanks for bolt action reciver before recently. id love to build one there are lots of aftermarket 700 bolts out there now for around $100 even on ebay .
Tempering the reciver is the biggest issue id have. but with a few carbide cutters any thing could be done.
id love to see a broached an treaded blank to make a single shot no mag bolt action out of. there are lots of take off barrels out there cheap that could screw right on .
id love one for my 50 BMG .
If they can get $700 for a damm miled AK reciver im sure a lot of guys wuould pay $75 for a round tube with some slots milled into it an threaded on one end.
