Kodak 7" EasyShare P720 Digital Photo Frame
I thought these were terrible gifts a while back, but you know I caved and bought one as a Christmas gift for my dad. I ended up purchasing some off-brand on Amazon, but I see this one in Costco all the time and the quality is great! Anyway, I set it up for my Dad and put it back in the box so when he opened it all the photos were already uploaded! He put it in his office and it runs all the time. I'm suprised by how much I like it! I think it would be a really great gift for parents & grandparents (as long as you set it up for them!)

Go into a sporting goods store and there's no end of performance fabrics on display: garments that promise to repel moisture or else wick it away, to insulate but breathe, to stretch, to compress, to reflect light, to devour body odor.
A new fabric being developed at Wake Forest's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, however, has the potential to make Gore-Tex seem about as high-tech as sackcloth. Called Power Felt, it generates electricity from heat. Wrap your cell phone in Power Felt and it could feed off your body heat to recharge while it's in your pocket. Line the inside of a roof with it and, especially in the summer, it could power a household's appliances. Lay it on the floor of a car and it could use the heat from the motor to run the air conditioning and radio—if it's an electric car or hybrid, the Power Felt might even boost the mileage.
The challenge, according to David Carroll, the head of the team that created the fabric, was to make something that was electrically conductive—the way metal is—and thermally insulating—the way cloth can be. The solution Carroll's team devised was to imprint carbon nanotubes onto a woven mat of plastic fibers. And since it takes relatively few carbon nanotubes to give the fabric thermoelectric properties, that can keep costs down. Carroll estimates that, at large scale, Power Felt could be fabricated for as little as a dollar for a swatch big enough to cover a cell phone.
"Thermoelectrics is a huge area of research," he says, "but most people are looking at very expensive materials that produce a lot of power in a very compact form." Power Felt is the opposite: It produces a relatively small amount of power, but because it's so cheap, designers could use huge amounts of the very thin cloth, folding it over on itself many times to increase the current created.
Carroll is in talks with multiple investors about producing the fabric commercially, and it remains to be seen whether anyone else sees the same potential for his technofelt. But fabrics in general are one area where the sometimes hyperbolic early claims made for nanotechnology are being borne out. Engineers have been able to use things like nanopores and nanowhiskers to make fabrics that kill bacteria, clean themselves, and protect against hazardous chemicals.
Carroll believes one area of promise for Power Felt is in powering mobile sensors—electronics worn on the body, perhaps embedded in clothing, that allow doctors to track patients' health remotely. Of course, even the consumer electronics we already carry around need plenty of energy, and it's not easy or cheap for engineers to get more power into batteries.
When I spoke with Carroll, he was driving and on his cell phone. "While I've been talking to you, the back of my phone has gotten hot," he says. "Our $1 piece of fabric would give you the same amount of boost as a $50 battery would."

PS. I'm big fan of your designs.
Thanks for the link, but I didnt really find it 'great' ( I don't mean to be disrespect). I found it very vague. I still couldn't find any reason not to use it. The other suggested alternatives (javascript, images) etc., do not help much in security.
I'm too lazy at the moment, otherwise I would find you 100 links explaining why CAPTCHAs are extremely useful.
Anyway, there's always good and bad way of implementing something.
jonathan01 said
Don't use CPTCHA it's a usability nightmare – use something like contact form 7 plugin in your WP theme, add a form with a 'are you human' mathematical question or something for security.
Its your opinion but in general they help a lot to prevent the spam if built well. reCAPTCHA is extremely useful and very large scale organizations use it to prevent the registration spam.
George Michael – Jesus To A Child http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulhoKujT2G8
It is possible for 1001 reasons.
1. Your design is outdated. 2. Your code is bad. 3. You do not follow the WordPress coding standards.
Did reviewer give any specific reason? Do you have the demo of the design so that others can see any perhaps suggest something.
Right, SEO stuff should be done with the plugin, but sometimes you need some basic stuff done. For example, I would like to integrate the Open graph meta in the theme so that when someone shares the post on the facebook or other networks etc, it does not get wrong thumbnail etc.,
Can I include such options in the theme that a user can enable/disable such things? I am asking this question because I'm not sure if according to the new rules its allowed or not?
dbycreative said
Are you on Chrome on Windows?
No, Firefox on Win 7.
First relax and then do exactly what the reviewer said, work hard on it.
Your layout design looks messy and dull to me. You need to pay attention to small details. For example look at the logo in your menu, its not aligned well with the rest of the menu items:
You have inconsistent paddings and margins.
Hope it helps.
@djwd: Are you talking about the mojo ? If yes, contact them and they will remove it.

loveetc said
TommusRhodus saidThat's very ugly way to do that. You should use remove those tags in shortcodes properly without messing with WordPress core code.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('p:empty').remove(); });
^^That doesn't touch the core..Whilst I admit it's not the most elegant solution in the world, it certainly does exactly what is required without having to filter the_content output in any way.
Sure, it doesn't, but I said you can use the code which can do that more efficiently. Why to first make mess and then clean up with extra js code? Why not doing it clean way at first place?

Green Cross Health Limited Full Year Result Announcement
28 May 2014
Green Cross Health Limited Full Year Result Announcement
Green Cross Health (NZX:GXH), today reported a net profit of $15.0 million for the 12 months to 31 March 2014, an improvement of $2.0 million (15.6%) on the same period last year. The result was achieved on consolidated operating revenues of $257.9 million (2013: $248.5 million).
The company's financial position is strong with a cash position, net of borrowings, of $16.0 million, $9.2 million up on last year.
Total assets of Green Cross Health are now $134.4 million (2013: $123.3 million) with total liabilities of $45.0 million (2013: $48.5 million).
"This is a very pleasing result," said Peter Merton, Chairman of Green Cross Health. "Our profit growth has been achieved through improved performance of all business units together with contributions from new pharmacy and medical acquisitions."
The Directors have resolved to pay a fully imputed final dividend of 3.5 cents per share to shareholders on the register as at 5pm on 11 June 2014. The dividend will be paid on 23 June 2014.The dividend reinvestment plan continues to operate.
The company's name changed from Pharmacybrands to Green Cross Health to better reflect the greater diversity of the group and to signal the development of the business as a primary health care company.
"In time we would like Green Cross Health to be recognised as a quality mark that consumers can trust to help them manage their health needs," Mr Merton commented.
"We believe the silo approach to care and funding in primary care is approaching its use by date. By having a range of services that span primary care we can develop better offerings to ensure the patient is at the centre of a coordinated care approach."
The company's growth as a provider of primary health care services was strengthened with $7 million invested in the acquisition of medical centres and pharmacies and, in March 2014, an investment in Auckland based community health care provider, Total Care Health Services.
Under the leadership of Grant Bai, who was appointed CEO in October 2013, activity was focused on brand consolidation, an enhanced consumer loyalty programme and reorganising the operations team to deliver improved in-store experience.
"We have rationalised our pharmacy brands from five to two - Life Pharmacy and Unichem - and relaunched our customer loyalty programme, Living Rewards. In future we envisage the Living Rewards loyalty programme applying across all our business units," added Mr Merton.
The medical business continued to grow through appropriate equity acquisitions and expanding The Doctors brand across the medical group.
"The contribution to the group of our medical business is now substantial", said Mr Merton. "We are confident that the platform we have established will create further opportunities for growth."
In March 2014 the company invested in Total Care Health Services, a business offering predominantly nursing services to a mixture of private and government funded clients.
"We are pleased to have made our first
move into this sector of the health care market. We intend
to invest in further acquisition opportunities in this
sector," commented Mr Merton.
Over the last 12 months the company has been focused on structuring the business for future growth, improved sales and enhanced service offerings.
"We are confident that in time there will be opportunities for synergy across our pharmacy, medical and community health businesses," said Mr Merton.
"We have the building blocks in place and the desire to turn Green Cross Health into a leading primary health care brand."

[Ed. Note: This article may contain spoilers for Orange Is The New Black, Season 3.]
Netflix's series, Orange is the New Black, has just released Season 3, but OITNB fans are already impatient for Orange is the New Black Season 4. What will Orange Is The New Black Season 4 bring? As of now, what we know is that the Orange is the New Black character of Laura Prepon, Alex Vause, will be returning in Season 4, and that Britney Spears might join on board.
Orange Is The New Black Season 3 ended with Alex Vause facing danger at the hands of Kubra's men, with one of her old colleagues sneaking in Litchfield and confronting her. So, one of the big questions this coming season of Orange Is The New Black is "will Alex survive this confrontation?"
We have confirmed that Alex is back in Season 4 of Orange Is The New Black, and on top of that, she will be back inside Litchfield, as seen in her Instagram posts. In one of Laura Prepon's Instagram account posts, she posts a photo of herself wearing her standard Orange Is The New Black look — eyeglasses and eyeliner — and holds up her prison badge. In another photo, she dons her prison garb, which is apparently a 23rd baron tank top.
Well, the Alex Vause-Piper Chapman loveteam is back on track with character Stella Carlin (played by Ruby Rose) out of the picture, so the Orange Is The New Black team might not be prepared to eliminate Alex from the series just yet.
Another star update for Orange Is The New Black Season 4, Britney Spears might be joining the prison crew. In an Entertainment Tonight interview with Taryn Manning, who plays OITNB character Pennsatucky, she gushes about Britney Spears and how she could totally rock it inside Litchfield Prison.
"Of course, I want Britney Spears everywhere you can see her. She's the best."
If Britney Spears were really to appear in Orange Is The New Black Season 4, what character should she portray? Would they make a character for Britney? Manning doesn't think so because for her, Britney Spears can do anything brilliantly.
"Um, I mean, I don't have to make up a character — she's such a good actor that I feel like they could do anything with her. I was so impressed working with her I was like — she's just very sincere in her acting, you know? It's like everyone wanted to maybe hope that she's not gonna be good but she was great."
Well, this might actually not be as far-fetched as we may think, since Britney Spears is known to make cameos in popular TV shows. Were you able to spot Britney Spears appearing in How I Met Your Mother? Britney Spears had a short-lived character in How I Met Your Mother, dating Ted Mosby and Barney in the series. Britney Spears also appeared as TV host Amber Louise in Will & Grace, appeared in Kenan & Kel, and did a perfect cameo in Glee as a cheerleader. Britney Spears will also, soon, be gracing Jane The Virgin, so watch out for that.
If Britney Spears were to appear in Orange is the New Black season 4, it's not the first time Manning will be able to work with her, which excites her to bits. Britney Spears and Taryn Manning have worked side-by-side with Zoe Saldana (hot chick Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy) in Crossroads in 2002. If Britney Spears were to drop by Litchfield in OITNB Season 4, then it's going to be a big treat for Manning, who swears by Britney Spears' angelic voice.
"There's a very specific day [that stands out to me when I look back on the movie] — I was like 'Sing, sing for me,' right? 'Cause everyone is like [Britney Spears] can't sing. So I was like 'Sing for me,' I knew she could — she sang the National Anthem for me in the car — for us — and it was the most perfect thing I've ever heard and for anybody who thinks she can't sing — she can sing like an angel."
Orange is the New Black Season 4 is currently undergoing production and will be hitting the small screen again in 2016.

Currently no, since it automatically adds pass rules for TCP 1723 and GRE
when the PPTP server or PPTP redirect is enabled. Though oddly enough,
when I just tried enabling the PPTP server for testing, the pass rules
specified the localhost address as the destination.
It might make sense to have an option to disable the automatic PPTP rules
for this reason.

Pasha's Tuhog!
Sinubo ko ng buong-buo ang isang piraso ng barbecue chicken pwet na in-order ko.
Nakatingin sa akin si Pasha, an amused look on his face, "Wow, you really like butts, no?"
Hindi ako sumagot, ninanamnam ko ang sarap at linamnam ng chicken pwet sa loob ng bibig ko.
Natawa si Pasha, "Anyways, I forgot to tell you kanina, I was in a threesome last night."
Muntik na akong mabilaukan.
Tumango siya, habang kumuha siya ng tissue at pinahid ang mantikang nakapalibot sa nguso ko.
Inilayo ko ang mukha ko, "Sandali, pang-ilang threesome mo na ito for this year?"
He shrugged, "Malay ko. But this one was definitely weird."
Tumaas ang isang kilay ko, "Bakit? This time mga babae naman ang ka-threesome mo?"
"Eww, of course not!" sagot niya.
He continued, "Ganito kasi, I received a text from this guy whom I did a couple of months ago. He was quite the performer so I decided na I wouldn't mind hooking up with him again."
"May itsura?" tanong ko.
"Kamukha ni Cogie Domingo nung panahong may career pa siya," Pasha described.
"Hot!" sagot ko.
"I know," he laughed, "So I go to his place, and lo and behold, there's another guy with him in his apartment, naked."
"Sino yun?" I asked, breathless, "Anung itsura?"
"Hot din, kamukha ni Onemig Bondoc, nung panahong sikat pa siya," sagot ni Pasha.
"Hot!" sagot ko, "Pero sino yung guy?"
"At first, of course, I had no idea, I'd never met the second guy before," Pasha continued, "But you know me, fight kung fight! I took off my clothes and dove in."
"Aaaand?" I asked.
"I noticed something odd while we were doing it, both of them would play with me, but not with each other," he said, "One guy would kiss me, while the other kissed something else on me, pero they wouldn't kiss each other. They wouldn't even touch."
"Aaaand?" I asked.
"So I told Max, that's the guy whom I already knew, Max, why don't go kiss him?" he said.
"Aaaand?" I asked.
"Sabi ni Max, Umm, no dude, we're cousins," Pasha answered.
"EEEW," ang tili ko.
"I know! It was sooo weird!" Pasha said.
"Hindi siya weird! Nakakadiri sya noh? So umalis ka na nung malaman mo?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
"Huh? Why would I leave? They were both hot, so I did them both," Pasha answered matter-of-factly.
I stared at him, flabbergasted, "Ikaw na ang recipient ng aking Di-Ko-Kinaya Award for the month of August."
"What?? They were hot! What did you expect me to do?" Pasha was laughing.
"OMG naman, they were cousins, I mean, I'm not trying to be pa-innocent or anything pero isn't there a line we shouldn't cross when it comes to kinkiness?" I asked.
"Bookie, sweetie, it was just sex, ok? It's not like I'm jumping into a relationship," Pasha explained, "I just jumped into their bed!"
I shuddered, "Ewan ko, basta it seems wrong to me."
Pasha leaned over and whispered seductively at me, "Don't worry, next time i-invite nila ako, isama kita. You can watch us do it so you get to realize that it's not to be taken seriously. It was just S-E-X."
I blushed.
He winked, "So, do you wanna see me in action?"
I couldn't stop blushing. So I did the only thing I could do.
I ordered another stick of chicken pwet.
Nagutom ako uli for some reason.

text: So I've been fucking this nympho that I met in the cab that I met by trading a blowjob for the fare. We've been screwing at my place, motels, in the taxi, at the hourly hot tubs, and at various places outdoors for like 6 months now. The trouble is I had a long-term girlfriend that finally caught me. The girlfriend still wants me to stay and be roommates. I'm pretty sure she just wants my half of the rent and someone to watch the dogs while she's working. It seems to be a no-brainer to gtfo asap, but we have two dogs and a bunch of shared shit. My instincts say to get an apartment and let her have the dogs and all the shit and cease contact. But it would be so easy to stay in our big house with the dogs and other amenities. The girlfriend says go ahead and do whoever you want, she'll even text me if she's coming home early. Anyone been in a similar situation? What say you douchebags?

This personalized healthcare model, allows us to better prevent, diagnose and manage illness. By listening, teaching and coaching, I am able to help my patients maintain wellness and vitality.

My close doctor-patient relationships also allow me to advocate for you and help you navigate our complex healthcare system.

Eurogamer: As a fan of Defender and Robotron designer Eugene Jarvis, you wrote on your blog during development that you approached things from a perspective of What Would Jarvis Do?
Jeff Minter: [Laughs] Absolutely. The whole thing came about because I'd been invited to a R3play retro expo event in Blackpool. I promised I'd have something to show when I went up there, and realised I didn't have anything to show.
So I thought, I'll stick some stuff in a game engine and get something going to show there. The whole theme of doing things in a very retro style seemed to sit with that exhibition I was going to.
At first I was just thinking of doing the one game, but it started to look really nice. I really liked how the Atari VCS graphics were looking on the iDevices. Even though they're chunky graphics, when you make them glow with the feedback effect it starts to look really cool.
So I thought, why not make a series out of this and do various versions of iconic old hardware styles? A lot of people remember those things quite fondly, so you get to play with the same styles but without having to suffer the same limitations of that hardware.
In making them, I was just trying to think as a designer of the day would have been thinking. You know: what kind of games would have influenced a designer making a game back then, and how you could fit those influences together to make something which obviously evokes certain other games but is its own entity in its own right.
I think a lot of people were doing this same process even back then. If you think about Eugene Jarvis himself, I'm sure he must have looked at Berzerk before he made Robotron. But he had a bit more power than Berzerk had, and a crazy imagination for putting loads of shit on the screen, and it came out as Robotron.
I think it was a process that was quite common back then, and I just basically wanted to do the same thing now.
Eurogamer: Is it a useful process to design in character, to try and channel another designer's ideas?
Jeff Minter: It's interesting. These days I tend to be a little less brutal than Eugene was, but what I want to give people the feeling of is that wonderful feeling of when you were actually mastering one of Eugene's games. That feeling you got when everything was kicking off, and there were explosions going off everywhere.
But I wanted to make that more accessible to people who would perhaps be rather more intimidated by his stuff.
Eurogamer: You've announced on Twitter that you're working on the next Minotaur game: is there anything you can say about it yet?
Jeff Minter: It's not going to be that long before I reveal it, as I only intend to spend about a month on each of these projects. I don't want to give away just yet what I'm actually going to be doing, as I want it to be a bit of a surprise. Again, though, it's based on certain iconic old hardware, and there's one particular old game that it's themed around.
I'll be releasing a couple of little spoilers in a few weeks, but I want to tease people with it now. Now I've managed to get a bit of attention for the Minotaur project, I should probably tease people.

Whilst eating these spices they drank Grenache, malmsey, or aromatic wines (Fig. 123).
"We are glad to see thee, brother," said he, holding out the flask of malmsey.
malmsey was a strangely generic term for sweet wines from almost every vine-growing district.
In the above way are made—beet-root wine (British Roussillon);—parsnip wine (British malmsey);—turnip w., &c.
Not a guinea—though you should threaten to drown him, like his namesake, in a butt of malmsey—to save his life.
Prince William was drowned in a butt of malmsey wine; he never laughed again.
Other high-class wines, known as Bual, Sercial and malmsey, are made from varieties of grapes bearing the same names.
The wine of Santorin, the modern representative of the famous "malmsey," is mainly exported to Russia.
Pray take serious strenuous measures for sending me a pipe of excellent Madeira in cask, with some dozens of malmsey Madeira.
George, duke of Clarence, executed by drowning in a butt of malmsey wine.
c.1400, type of strong, sweet white wine, from Provençal malmesie or Middle Dutch malemesye, both from Medieval Latin malmasia, from Medieval Greek Monembasia "Monemvasia," a town in the southern Peloponnesus that was an important center of wine production in the Middle Ages, literally "only one entrance," from monos "alone, only" (see mono-) + embasis "entering into," from en- "in" + basis "a going, a stepping, a base" (see basis).

Waltham MA (SPX) Nov 29, 2013
Would you drink wine flavored with mint, honey and a dash of psychotropic resins? Ancient Canaanites did more than 3,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have unearthed what may be the oldest - and largest - ancient wine cellar in the Near East, containing forty jars, each of which would have held fifty liters of strong, sweet wine. The cellar was discovered in the ruined palace of a sprawling Canaanite city in northern Israel, called Tel Kabri. The site dates to about 1,700 B.C. and isn't far from many of Israel's modern-day wineries.
"This is a hugely significant discovery - it's a wine cellar that, to our knowledge, is largely unmatched in age and size," says Eric Cline chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of at The George Washington University. Cline and Assaf Yasur-Landau, chair of the Department of Maritime Civilizations at the University of Haifa, co-directed the excavation. Andrew Koh, assistant professor of classical studies at Brandeis University, was an associate director.
The team's findings will be presented this Friday in Baltimore at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research.
Koh, an archaeological scientist, analyzed the jar fragments using organic residue analysis. He found molecular traces of tartaric and syringic acid, both key components in wine, as well as compounds suggesting ingredients popular in ancient wine-making, including honey, mint, cinnamon bark, juniper berries and resins. The recipe is similar to medicinal wines used in ancient Egypt for two thousand years.
Koh also analyzed the proportions of each diagnostic compound and discovered remarkable consistency between jars.
"This wasn't moonshine that someone was brewing in their basement, eyeballing the measurements," Koh notes. "This wine's recipe was strictly followed in each and every jar."
Important guests drank this wine, notes Yasur-Landau.
"The wine cellar was located near a hall where banquets took place, a place where the Kabri elite and possibly foreign guests consumed goat meat and wine," he says.
At the end of the season, the team discovered two doors leading out of the wine cellar-one to the south, and one to the west. Both probably lead to additional storage rooms. They'll have to wait until 2015 to find out for sure.
Funding for this research was provided by GW, the University of Haifa, Brandeis University, the National Geographic Society, the Israel Science Foundation, the Institute for Aegean Prehistory, Bronfman Philanthropies, and private donations.

Freedom, the fundamental human right
Freedom, the fundamental human right
with Tim Wilson, Australia's Human Rights Commissioner
The Australian government recently appointed Tim Wilson, an outspoken classical liberal, to its Human Rights Commission. Commissioner Wilson's agenda is ambitious: He seeks to promote a culture of rights and responsibilities so that every citizen understands their rights and confidently stands up for them against government encroachment.
In his lectures to The New Zealand Initiative, Tim Wilson will show how human rights are the foundations of classical liberal thought – and how freedom is the ultimate human right.
Underlying this is the belief that people own their own lives; that rights are universal and can be reasonably and consistently exercised by individuals to pursue their happiness and enterprise. The classical liberal view of human rights is narrow and focuses on basic concepts such as freedom of speech, association, worship, protection of property and protection against arbitrary detention. In balancing competing rights, deference is towards more freedom, not less.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of the
relationship between freedom and human
About the Speaker:
Tim Wilson was appointed Australia's Human Rights Commissioner in February 2014.
Dubbed the "Freedom Commissioner", Tim is a proud and passionate defender of universal, individual human rights. As Commissioner he is focused on promoting and advancing traditional human rights and freedoms, including free speech, freedom of association, worship and movement and property rights.
Prior to his appointment Tim was a public policy analyst and a policy director at the world's oldest free market think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs. He has also worked in trade and communication consulting, international aid and development, as well politics. He has served as a Board member of Monash University's Council and on the Victorian Board of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. Tim is a Director of Alfred Health.
He has extensive experience in public debate and has had many regular radio and television commitments, with both commercial and public broadcasters. The Australian newspaper recognised Tim as one of the ten emerging leaders of Australian society. He has written extensively for newspapers, journals and books. He recently co-edited the book Turning Left or Right: Values in Modern Politics.
Tim graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Policy) and a Masters of Diplomacy and Trade (International Trade) from Monash University. He has also completed executive education at Geneva's Institut de Hautes Etudes Internationales et du Développement and the World Intellectual Property Organisation's Worldwide Academy.

Song and video was tight. Look forward to hearing the EP.
This is pretty dope, Rampage hasn't been on my radar for quite a while. Is he still affiliated with Busta? R.A. is sick as always, dude needs to put that new solo record out already.
This is the second nice track that Rampage has done recently to get my attention. I'm ready to buy the album/EP now. I still have 'Scouts honor'…

I was in Rhode Island last week doing seminars and promoting Ranger Boats. I have to say it really refreshed my attitude about bass fishing. The crowds were pretty good, and the anglers were really enthused about bass fishing.
Woo Daves, the 2000 Bassmaster Classic champion, was there, too. He offered some interesting comments about fishing that I'd like to share with you. They're worth thinking about. First, we need to take a step back and look at the real world. Most bass anglers are doing it for fun. At most they're fishing local club tournaments. We don't ever want to forget that. Daves pointed out in his seminars that the surest way to catch a bass is with a simple Texas rigged, straight-tail plastic worm.
He's right. Too often we (professionals) convey the idea that you have to have a lot of fancy — and expensive — tackle to catch bass. Even worse, we sometimes leave the impression that without all the latest professional techniques and tricks, a trip is doomed. Why bother to go at all? Obviously, that's not true. Fishing is supposed to be fun, a day on the water with friends and family having a good time. Sure, it's about catching fish, but it's not about doing it the hard way. Most anglers need to know how to make their Texas rigged worm hang straight so it doesn't twist. They need to know how to tie a knot correctly and how to choose fishing line wisely. Without those basic skills, 15 of the newest and best baits will be of little or no consequence. They certainly won't help anyone catch a bass.
Most important of all, however, anglers need to know how to find the fish. They need to understand seasonal patterns and the factors that make bass move as the weather changes. The best lures in the world, along with every fancy trick known to man, won't catch a bass if he isn't there. Too often we professionals ignore that fact. It's obvious to us so we don't bother to talk about it. That needs to change. All of us need to get back to basics — find them, catch them, laugh and then turn them lose so another angler can do the same. I guess what I'm trying to say is let's not get too carried away with ourselves. Sure, it's great to be a pro and treat this as a business. No one can deny the thrill of fishing for big bass on big water while chasing a check. Neither can anyone deny that high-end tackle and equipment are nice things to have, indispensable at my level. But that's not the case for most anglers. It's possible to have a good time, and still catch bass, without busting the family budget at the local tackle store or knowing every trick in the book. We need to keep that in mind.

Ministers said the NHS Redress Bill is aimed at providing a "quick and appropriate" response to "low value" negligence claims of under £20,000.
It has been designed in a bid to avoid England slipping into the US-style litigation culture and cut down on the cost of legal bills.
The new system is to be overseen by the NHS Litigation Authority.
The body would be responsible for compensation awards and providing explanations and giving apologies to patients in England.
The National Assembly of Wales is still considering whether system should be extended to Wales, while the Scottish Executive currently has no intentions of taking forward proposals.
The scheme will deal with lower level claims, which will typically cover minor injuries that do not lead to permanent damage.
Patients, and the Healthcare Commission watchdog, will be able to report claims, but officials are also encouraging NHS staff to report problems.
Steve Walker, chief executive of the NHS Litigation Authority, said the scheme was aimed at changing the culture of the NHS.
"There is still the instinctive reaction to put the barriers up when something goes wrong. We want to change that."
Legal costs
But the government is also hoping to cut down on the legal costs.
The annual negligence bill stands at £500m for England, of which more than a third is accounted by legal costs.
While only a fraction of claims actually make it to court, it is almost unavoidable to make a negligence claim without involving solicitors.
Under the Bill, which is still to go through parliament, patients will still get independent legal advice once an offer of resolution is made.
In pilots the majority of claims were resolved in under six months, compared to the years current claims can take.
Health Minister Jane Kennedy said: "My priority is to encourage openness and a culture that is willing to acknowledge when things have gone wrong."
And she added it may lead to more minor claims. "This scheme should allow many of those at the low end of the scale of claims, who do not bother because of time it takes or cost, to pursue it."
Gary Fereday, policy manager at the NHS Confederation, which represents NHS trusts, said he hoped it would make "the cumbersome compensation process more effective".
"Where patients are entitled to compensation, they should get it more quickly and more efficiently.
"We will work with our members to ensure that the detail of the legislation will be workable for patients and NHS organisations."
Dr Stephanie Bown, of the Medical Protection Society, a doctor support group, said: "The move away from purely financial compensation toward a more comprehensive package of redress for patients including an apology, explanation and remedial treatment is positive."

More than a month after a national election that diminished Republican power nationally, Eugene Robinson argues that it's time for the party to start embracing popular policies and compromise. Not for their own sake, but because the Democrats need to be challenged and prodded. The unpopular and unworkable GOP rhetoric on immigration, Robinson explains, helped hand the big election to Obama, even though Obama's policies aren't super-great or what everyone who voted for Obama wanted. Get serious, Republicans, Robinson advises. His words are part a warning and part a plea.
For some reason, the resident Republicans commenting on the Opinions page were skeptical of Robinson's advice. Party leaders have thrown around ideas about how to appeal to a more diverse demographic, and House Speaker John Boehner has stutter-stepped toward moderation, but those who neither have to govern nor get elected seem to think the GOP is doing just fine, thanks, Mr. Robinson. The GOP should not moderate; it should wait, they believe. Wait for the inevitable hubris and self-crushing of the Dems:
There is no mystery here. Fifty two percent of the electorate are now officially freeloaders, fellow travelers or useful idiots. Conservatives (read productive people) will simply invest wisely and keep our party dry. Meanwhile the worthless (Obama, Robinson) will lead the useless into their dystopian collectivist nightmare.
PostScript is slightly suspicious that Uhuh might be satirical here, but being a trusting soul (who sees much odder put-downs round these parts than "collectivist"), she shall treat the comment as probably serious. Plus, there is greatness in the idea of "keep[ing] our party dry."
Eugene, the quickest way for Republicans to become totally irrelevant in today's political environment is to take any advice about issues and policy from someone like you. Going into the mid-term elections Republicans know what we have to do. If Republicans cave on tax rate increases and spending in this fiscal cliff deal it will be a HUGE psychological advantage for liberal Democrats. And it will signify that our brand is tarnished and that Republicans have caved and are no longer concerned about being the party of smaller government and less spending.
We are regrouping and with leaders like Rubio, West, Martinez, and Haley and we will come out even stronger. We need to attack and rewrite those areas in Obamacare. Everything that Sebilius has written and regulated should be undone immediately. That's just for starters.
Besides hoping 2013-2014 too shall pass, and that Rep Allen West gets to lead the Republican Party even after losing his election, what can the conservative rank-and-file do meantime? Well, criticize Obama.
Mr. Robinson's glee at the GOP's electoral gaffes is built upon one, sadly correct assumption – that the President he supports will not actually address America's significant financial mess unless forced to do so by political considerations. It's Mr. Robinson's implicit admission that Mr. Obama's current proposals reflect no serious attempt to address the nation's runaway credit crunch. Mr. R – isn't THAT the job that POTUS has spent the last twelve months assuring us he wanted?
In his current posture, Mr. Obama is demonstrating all the signs of a political hack, and a lightweight who doesn't deserve the title he will continue to hold for the next four years. (He was just lucky that the GOP couldn't field anyone more saleable.) Each party will continue to play the political game – trying to be the last to tell the American public any truth they don't want to hear or heed – until a "cliff" is the most minor disaster we have to worry about.
Other than those remarks, pretty much all the advice seems to be coming from the Republicans' loyal opposition.
MNUSA says come on back to the lamestream media, GOP:
A problem with Republicans and their allies is that they need to tell the truth. FOX had conservatives believing Romney was going to win big. The FOX "experts" and pundits couldn't come up with big enough terms for the Romney win. The truth is we aren't going to deport all of the undocumented immigrants for a variety of reasons. The truth is that billionaires like Adelson don't give a whit for jobs or a balanced budget or some concept of freedom. They just want to avoid supporting the country that made them wealthy.
Candressuhmoose suggests that more in the party call out craziness when they see it:
The voices of reason in the GOP are drowned out. This country needs to get the noise out of the way so we can have a serious discussion with the right about chickens for health care and the threat of gay astronauts staying aboard the international space station.
DownTheMiddle suggests that conservatives lurch ALL the way leftward and embrace the Nannystate. He or she doesn't indicate a political preference, but what Downthemiddle suggests sounds pretty … far out:
I don't disagree. A smart GOP would mandate that people stop eating pizza, drinking lattes and smoking weed. If 50% of America is going to get subsidized health insurance, then the GOP should at least mandate that there be a personal responsibility element to it. No more buffet lines. No more 3 a.m. pizzas. No more frappucinos. No more Pizza Tuesdays or dollar value menus. Show me you walked 3 miles today. That's what the GOP should do if they want to lower health care costs in America.
Lifestyle drives 76.5% of our health care costs.
PostScript totally LOVES this idea, possibly more than she loves 3 a.m. pizzas. Nationwide mandatory P90x with Rep Paul Ryan! Eat Like Bill Clinton Month! It's the Nanny-Personal Trainer State! PostScript has no idea how it would be enforced, and everyone responsible would lose all their elections ever, which would, in turn, make the program incredibly popular and effective. Man, she hopes Congress reads these comments.

There are far too many stories in the news these days about priests, pastors and rabbis molesting children and getting away with it for years because nobody in the church or synagogue called the police on the perpetrators. The Catholic church hid problems with child sex abuse for decades (possibly centuries), never calling the police when they became aware of priests harming children. In nearly every case until very recently, it was the victim that alerted police, even when church officials knew of the problem. Sadly, we are now discovering that there are similar problems in Protestant churches and in Orthodox Jewish enclaves, with pastors and rabbis being protected from charges by higher ups. (The most recent story involved Nuchem Weberman, who was convicted Monday on 59 counts of sexually abusing a 12 year old girl for three years. In his case, religious leaders knew of the abuse but did nothing to stop it and did not contact police. Instead, they began a campaign of intimidation and threats against the victim and her family).
Sadly, when money is stolen from a house of worship, it's entirely different. The newspapers are full of stories of religious leaders calling the police immediately upon discovering that someone stole from the collection plate or is embezzling funds.
In all of these theft or embezzlement cases, church officials went immediately to the police when they discovered money was missing. They didn't try to sweep the problems under the rug or, in the case of embezzlement, transfer the priest, pastor or employee to another parish. No; they saw to it that justice was done swiftly. How despicable is it that the same consideration isn't given to children who are molested? When are religions going to consider children's lives and safety to be as important as money?

Originally named Ortega Park, it was expanded in 1965 when the City filled an acre of submerged land and built a bulkhead along its length. The park is named for John N. C. Stockton (1857-1922), president of the Ortega Company, the subdivision's developer. Best remembered for his devoted public service, he worked distributing relief funds during the yellow fever epidemic of 1888, chaired the Board of Public Works in 1893 and after the Great Fire of 1901, and served in the Florida Legislature. Collaboration between area residents and the City led to a major improvement project in 2004-2005. When the newly designed park reopened in July 2005, it became a welcome addition to Old Ortega, which was designated a Historic District and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Lindale wins in four games, SSHS coach not happy with team effort
By JOSEPH ELERSON | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Oct. 3, 2007 - The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats wrapped up the first half of District 11-4A play on a tough note Tuesday night at Wildcat Gym with a four-game loss to the Lindale Lady Eagles.
Lindale won by scores of 25-18, 25-14, 18-25 and 25-10 as SSHS is now 12-19 overall and 0-5 in district play.
"Tonight's game was probably the worst that I have ever seen them play," said SSHS head coach Rachel Curtis. "It was because they had quit and I have never seen them play that way. We are coached to win and we are coached to go out there every single minute and give our best, and we didn't do that tonight."
The Lady Cats opened up the match strong and jumped out to a 7-3 lead behind the serving of Kamesha Hall and the play of juniors Krista McMahan, Baleigh Butler and Mackenzie Cross. Cross led the team in kills with eight to go with one block and one assist, Butler had three kills and one block and McMahan had two kills and three aces.
In Game 1, the Lady Eagles took advantage of their size as Whitney Binder had four kills in the game as she finished off the first game with back-to-back kills for the 25-18 finale.
Game 2 was another tough start for Sulphur Springs as Lindale jumped out to a 10-6 lead. The Lady Cats bounced back to close to within a 16-12 deficit on a kill by Cross, but Lindale outscored SSHS 9-2 the remainder of the game.
After a talk by Curtis between the second and third games, the Lady Cats came out in Game 3 with their best effort of the night. SSHS got out to an 8-3 lead on a kill by Butler and never trailed as they had a 6-0 run during that game.
SSHS took an 18-11 lead on a double block by Butler and Katie Dodd on an attempted kill by Binder that forced Lindale to call a timeout. Following the timeout, the Lady Cats had kills by Cross and Kelsey Smith and a block by Cross on an attempted kill by Neally Rhea to seal the win.
"Game 3 usually seems to be our strong point," Curtis said. "I was hoping that we could come out and start over, but we didn't. Before the game they were ready, and I have never seen them more ready to play.
"They had come off a great game Friday night against North Lamar and they were ready and prepared, but they fell apart. As a coach there is not much that you can do at that point. They know what they are doing wrong and they just fell apart."
In Game 4, the Lady Cats lost the momentum early as Lindale took a 4-0 lead. SSHS battled back to within 9-6 on a kill by Cross off an assist from Maurie Lewis - who finished with 16 assists in the match.
Lindale then took advantage of the Lady Cats miscues during the game and held a 23-9 lead late on an ace by Binder. After a kill by SSHS junior Brittani Crawford, Lindale wrapped up the game as McMahan hit a serve into the net and Lacey Klein won the game with a spike.
"I left them with a choice in there and I said, 'Right now, we are 0-5 and you have a choice to go out there and decide how you want to finish the year,' and now it is up to them," Curtis said. "I think they will come out strong on Tuesday night and play the way that we can, then I think we will be all right."
SSHS travels to Texarkana on Tuesday looking to avenge a four-game loss in the district opener. The JV and freshmen are scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.

"One for sorrow, two for joy,There are a number of superstitions surrounding magpies, black and white birds that feature in a lot of stories (especially in the British Isles). These include, as the rhyme indicates, that they are omens (for good or ill) of the future and that the bad luck of a lone magpie must be warded off with a ritual of some sort. Some of the "warding off bad luck" superstitions are quick and only require a simple salute, while others are a bit more eccentric, involving pinching, spitting or saying certain phrases. The idea that magpies are omens of the future has led to a flock of them being called a "tidings of magpies". Magpies are members of the corvid family and relatives of ravens and crows. The rhyme—in all its manifold variations—is also used on occasion for crows. (Australian Magpies, on the other hand, are unrelated songbirds that just happen to bear a resemblance.) Note: This trope is not about magpies per se, but about the association of certain numbers of magpies with good or bad luck, and the rituals for warding the bad luck off. See also Thieving Magpie, which is about magpies' compulsion to steal, particularly shiny objects.
Three for a girl, and four for a boy,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told."
Three for a girl, and four for a boy,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told."
— Nursery Rhyme (one of many variations, this one popularised as the theme song to Magpie* )
open/close all folders
Comic Books
- Invoked in The Sandman
Delirium, in The Wake: One for sorrow, two for sorrow, three for sorrow, four for for for I don't know. But I'm bored of sorrow, five for three two one, six for gold, seven for a magpie who tells me where to go...''
- In the earlier story "Parliament of Rooks", Eve sings the rhyme while holding the infant Daniel. Abel finishes with the last line, then adds, "It's true, you know."
- In The Crow, the rhyme is referenced (with blackbirds in the place of magpies) by Eric as he prepares to kill a bar full of thugs, and capped with a classic line.
Eric Draven: Seven blackbirds in a tree, count them and see what they be. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy. Five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret that's never been told. You're all going to die.
- See also reference below to the film The Crow: City of Angels.
- Journey into Mystery begins with 7 magpies on a quest after the demise of Loki at the end of Siege. The seventh is the only one to make it to their destination.
Ikol: Humans see groups of magpies. Magpies don't. Magpies know they stand alone. ... There is only ever one for sorrow.
- Also, Ikol (a magpie-shaped remnant of the old Loki) tells kid Loki the magpie rhyme at the beginning of the Everything Burns crossover, and sets the record straight about it.
- This becomes something of a theme for young Loki in later series, like Odin hearing "thunder, and the laughter of magpies" when Thor and Loki need him in the Original Sin tie in of Loki: Agent of Asgard. What can we say, the guy isn't only trouble, but also bad news.
Fan Fic
- The rhyme is used in the Kingdom Hearts fanfic A Sorrow of Magpies in a What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic? kind of way.
- More specifically, the rhyme is as follows:
Luxord: [using two dice, but mentions magpies] "Two is for fresh luck, while three starts the play. Four means start running, five means you stay. Six earns you silver, seven earns gold. Eight for new allies, nine for the old. Ten wins good fortune, eleven risks all — but twelve wins the match and there, stops the ball." When asked about one, which is an impossible result with a pair of dice, he says, "One is for sorrow, because it's always alone."
- More specifically, the rhyme is as follows:
- In the Troll Cops Homestuck AU, there is a pair of stories called "One For Sorrow", which has:
''One is for Sorrow.Two is for Mirth.Three is for a Funeral.Four is for a Birth.Five is for Heaven.Six is for Hell.Seven's for the Devil himself.''
- Ashe Corven of the movie The Crow: City of Angels references a variant of this rhyme as he's trashing the bad guys of a strip booth establishment where his second target is, using crows in place of magpies.
- Snow White and the Huntsman: Magpies are all over this film. One appears right before Snow White is to be led to the Queen and murdered, two appear later to lead her to her horse. Basically, any time something happens, either one or two magpies will appear to portend it, whichever is appropriate. Not that anybody comments on this.
- Several versions of the rhyme occur in Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum. It's explained that none of them work very well, because nobody knows the version the magpies use. Also, the "modern" vampires of that book shape-shift into magpies rather than bats, which is a pun on their family name (de Magpyr).
- In "The Folklore of Discworld", Pterry bemoans the fact that Britain used to have hundreds of regional variations on this rhyme, but nowadays if you ask anyone they'll all give you the version from Magpie. He got to know the book's co-writer, Jacqueline Simpson, because she answered "which one?" to the question "do you know the magpie song."
- There's a book called One For Sorrow, Two For Joy, by Clive Woodall, about more-or-less-anthropomorphic birds. It's a little like Watership Down, but with birds. The villains are magpies.
- A magpie literally named One For Sorrow appears as an assistant to and messenger of the guardian of the old animal highways in The Wild Road. You can pretty much guess what happens to him based on his name.
- Not only this, but Cornish cat Pengelly mentions a (cat-adjusted) version of the rhyme that goes: "One's sorrow, two's mirth, three's a mating, four's a birth, five's a naming, six a dearth, seven's heaven, eight is hell, and nine's the devil, his own sel'".
- The Mercedes Lackey story "Counting Crows" has a different version: "One for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, four for a birth", IIRC.
- The beginning of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival compares the unsteady man, in whom good and evil are mixed, to a magpie, which is half black, half white.
- Star In The Storm by Joan Hiatt Harlow uses "One for sadness, two for mirth; three for marriage, four for birth; five for laughing, six for crying; seven for sickness, eight for dying; nine for silver, ten for gold; eleven for a secret that will never be told."
- In Michael Flynn's In the Lion's Mouth, Shadows' subordinates, in black and white, are called magpies. When one is always in Donovan's line-of-sight, he feels uneasy, knowing the old Terran belief that a single magpie is bad luck.
- Weathercock by Glen Duncan has the Catholic protagonist (plagued by a case of Chronic Villainy, to put it mildly) suffer periodic intimations of evil. Outside a church, he is visited by no less than nine magpies. He tries to remember the rhyme, but to his unease can only recall the more modern version from TV's Magpie. Fridge Brilliance or Fridge Horror, should the reader remember that in most versions of the rhyme, nine magpies signify the presence of the devil.
- In Ashworth Hall, one of the Pitt Series Detective Fiction books by Ann Perry, a single magpie appears at a conference between Irish leaders trying to come up with a solution to the conflicts between the Irish Catholics, Irish Protestants and the British. A character recites the "one for sorrow, two for joy" line. The other characters consider it just a superstition. Later on in the story, the conference is plagued by adultery, murder and a bombing.
- In Imajica someone lets a magpie into a house where a significant act of magic is about to take place. Someone else points out that this is terrible bad luck. No points for guessing what happens next. The bird isn't actually responsible, and the mayhem had been planned long before. Still, omenery.
Live Action TV
- Magpie was the name of a kids' TV show on ITV circa the 1970s/80s (which was pretty much a Blue Peter lookalike). The theme song used a version of the rhyme as its lyrics (see beginning of this page), and the show's mascot was a cartoon magpie named Murgatroyd, who looked too fat to fly.
- A news discussion Top Gear once went on about how dangerous magpies are while driving because of gestures, but none of which the presenters could agree on which one was correct. Richard Hammond's was the most confusing; it turns out rather than picking one of the many variations to ward off bad luck, he chose all of them at once; adding to it each time someone mentions a new one to him.
Music And Sound Effects
- The rhyme itself appears in the song "A Murder of One" by Counting Crows. The rhyme is also the origin of the band's name.
- Seanan McGuire's Filk Song "Counting Crows" opens with a version of the rhyme, and continues on the theme. Chorus:
In mercy's shadow, nothing grows./And she's running hard now, counting crows.
- Similarly, Vixy and Tony's Filk Song Thirteen asks what happens when there are more than seven:
Count my brothers and count my sisters, we'll tell your fortune and we'll tell you true/But the path's all covered in claws and feathers, Magpie, there's too many of you...
- Patrick Wolf has a song that quotes the aforementioned rhyme as the last stanza. Unsurprisingly the song itself is named Magpie
- "Two Magpies" from The Fireman's album Electric Arguments features lines from the rhyme. Unsurprisingly, it's extremely catchy.
Oral Tradition
- The famous rhyme, with many variations. (Sometimes quoted for crows—but chiefly magpies.)
- "... Eight's a wish, and nine a kiss / Ten is a bird you must not miss."
- "... Eight for heaven, nine for hell / And ten for the devil's own sel'."
- "One for sorrow, two for mirth / Three for a wedding, four for a birth."
- "... Eight for a letter over the sea / Nine for a lover, as true as can be."
- "... Five for England, six for France / seven for a fiddler, eight for a dance."
Video Games
- In The Secret World, this rhyme is used as a clue in a quest to solve a long-ago murder mystery. To solve it, you have to be dead at the time.
Real Life
- This took place in India in 1878. Sir Louis Cavagnari was to lead an embassy to Kabul. Earl Roberts records in his memoir, "As we [met before the embassy left], curiously enough, we came across a solitary magpie, ... Cavagnari pointed it out and begged me not to mention the fact of his having seen it to his wife, as she would be sure to consider it an unlucky omen....my heart sank as I wished Cavagnari good-bye. When we had proceeded a few yards in our different directions, we both turned round, retraced our steps, shook hands once more, and parted for ever." About two months later "...telegrams were received..., telling of the Mission [in Kabul] having been overwhelmed and every member of it cruelly massacred..."
- You can read more about this incident in Frederick Roberts' Forty-one years in India, from subaltern to commander-in-chief on pages 381-384.
- This is also covered in The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye.

James Madison captured the doubles point. Lady Flames Erica Fredstrom (So., Grand Forks, S.D.) and Ekaterina Kuznetsova won the #2 doubles match, 8-5. However, James Madison squeaked out an 9-8 victory at #1 doubles and won the point with a default in the #3 doubles match to take the point.
