Trend Report: Stevie Nicks' Style
Keep an eye out for Mandy Coon. While she is on the rise in the New York City fashion scene, her talent and charm are sure to take her to the top in the coming seasons. Her designs are defined by dramatic cuts and rich fabrics, but her personal style is found in oversize sheer dresses, leggings, and comfy cotton jumpers. The native Texan is also heavily educated in tasteful vintage clothing. "My mom is an expert thrifter and taught me well. I would keep these amazing finds even if they didn't fit me because they were so amazing and I couldn't part with them," she divulges. With a love of French fashion designers and admiration for style icons like Penelope Tree, Mia Farrow, and Iris Apfel, it's no wonder Mandy Coon's wardrobe is eclectic, quirky, and feminine.

Rick Owens jacket and booties
"My French bulldog, Petunia, aka Stinky, is with me. She's the furry love of my life."

"I'm obsessed with this dress. I think you can fit at least three people in it, it's so enormous. It's such a special piece, and every time I wear it—which is a lot!—people stop me on the street to tell me how amazing it is."

Re: update on me
Regina, my head is always light headed, my memory is shot, I am not trusting my judgment, I have been getting depressed and NEVER have in my life. I am getting weaker, very tired, joints and muscles ache, bottom of feet get red and sometimes burn. With all the MEDs I have tried for U C I seem to reach a plateau and then stop healing. I AM going to try and push through for the Nov 1 infusion as it is the first 3 that really count most and that will be the 3rd. Then the 8th will see my GI. He has already told me there are other things I can try but Remicade is the best. This morning my daughter told me to pack a bag and come to her for awhile but I am just more comfortable being alone in my own place.
On the dreams, found out that Death actually means a new beginning but still don't know why there is another person who is alive in the dream. Mmm I wonder if Teddy is sending me these dreams but I can't figure out why.
I have not been to NYC in years but if you get too cold you are welcome here! Luv from the Space---y Cadet!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1608 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's official: Bed Bath & Beyond is coming to Winnipeg.
Shindico development manager Bob Downs has confirmed the U.S.-based home accessories giant will be the fourth retail tenant in the new Polo North development on the old Winnipeg Arena site at Polo Park.
Industry sources said earlier this winter that Bed Bath & Beyond was one of the retail chains eyeing the Polo North space, but Shindico and the company declined to comment at the time.
The other tenants in the three-storey, 210,000-square-foot office/retail complex are off-price fashion retailer Marshalls, Mark's Work Wearhouse and Western Financial, which is also leasing the top two floors of office space in the complex.
Marshalls will be the first retail tenant to open its doors. Its 28,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open on Thursday. Opening dates for the Mark's Work Wearhouse and Bed Bath & Beyond outlets have not been announced.
Bed Bath & Beyond has stores in every Canadian province except Saskatchewan and Quebec and had been studying the Winnipeg market for more than four years.
Its stores carry a broad selection of products for the bathroom, kitchen and dining room. It has been a popular destination for Manitobans making shopping excursions to Grand Forks, Fargo and Minneapolis, where it has outlets.

François Hollande's Socialist government is desperate to get across a message, not least to foreign investors, that France's economy is in recovery mode and that it is now set to start reducing the heavy tax burden it has heaped on companies.
This sunny prospect received a cold shower on Tuesday in the form of a survey of American businesses in France.
Although respondents saw some improvement in economic conditions over the next two years after a worse-than-anticipated 2013, only 19 per cent expected to increase employment, while 26 per cent said they would be reducing jobs.
More worrying for Mr Hollande, the survey showed a sharp slide in the perception of France as a good place to invest.

I have searched through this board and have found various suggestions but no overall consensus on where to put the chips on my electric water smoker. It is one of those Char Broil ones with no directions or place to put chips. The most logical suggestion I have heard is to put a pie tin directly on the heating element or somehow use some type of a support to get it right above the element. Is this the best option? I hhave also read that people put lava rocks on the bottom of the smoker and put the chips in foil packets on them.
I am looking for an input or suggestions. This is my first use of the smoker. I got it for Christmas and never got around to using it because I never had a day to dedicate to smoking.
I am probably making ribs and possibly a brisket, depending on what I can fit in there.

I need sleep...quality sleep! I cant do it anymore!
bubz is 14months...
Any gentle suggestions on night time weaning
I need sleep...quality sleep! I cant do it anymore!
bubz is 14months...
Any gentle suggestions on night time weaning
Do you have a partner or friend who can put bub down for the night? Maybe by rocking to sleep or snuggling? Do you cosleep? If so, I have heard wearing a thick shirt or sweater at night and dressing baby will help, as the baby no longer smells milk or experiencing the skin-to-skin contact that leads to night waking in search of comfort.
We co-sleep but Im trying to get him to sleep in the cot because hubby and I are always pushed to the edge of the bed with our pillows on our bedsides! and bubba happily sleeping stretched out! He doesnt like to sleep cuddled or even close thats why its becoming such an issue for me.
Hubby can get him down by rocking and he is starting to sleep for part of the night in the cot. Im finding a bit lavender in his bath is helping...I know we will get there eventually but on the day I posted was just öne of those "days" where you feel like if you dont get some quality sleep your world will cave in
teething doesnt help...I will try the thick top at night
Hi Amarie,
Mom2many had some good suggestions. Another thing you could try would be having bub sleep next to daddy (and the side of the bed) but you would need to have something on the side of the bed so bub wouldn't roll off.
I had this situation at one time after having a new baby, and my husband would comfort my older child and snuggle him (on the other side of the bed) while I cared for the new baby.
If you're able to get baby to sleep in his cot for the first part of the night, but then he wakes and wants to come into your bed, you could try having your husband put him back in his cot. It's kind of a hard one when you're going through the weaning process because there's this balance you have to find between spending too much time awake, trying to get bub to go back to sleep in his own bed, as compared to just leaving him in your bed and latching him on whenever he wakes and wants to eat, while you both fall back to sleep.
I understand being kicked in the ribs because bub had turned sideways, head toward daddy and feet towards me. But in general, I found that my babies weaned when they were ready, and started sleeping in their own cots when they were ready and secure... which seemed to be around 3 years of age.
My husband loved having the babies in bed with us, so he wasn't any help in trying to get them to sleep elsewhere. And we were content to have them start the night out of our bed (so we could have some intimate time without them in the bed with us) but when they woke up, we always welcomed them back in the bed for the rest of the night because we all got more sleep that way.
You can try giving bub some protein before bed, like a scrambled egg, to see if his tummy will stay full longer and if it will help him to sleep for a longer stretch in his own cot at night.
When he's a little older, he will have better communication skills and that may be a better time to move him permanently from your bed. I also found that my children transitioned better when I had them sleep with an older sibling.
And I completely understand how there are some days when you feel like you haven't gotten enough sleep and those days can be really hard. Try to make napping a priority - nap when bub naps. Even a 20 minute power nap in the middle of the day can make a huge difference. Oh - and if you want more energy, reducing sugar and simple carbs can help while increasing your intake of dark green leafy vegetables, like kale, spinach and chard.
Here's a video that will help you understand the benefits of getting more greens in your body. You can blend them into a smoothie or you can juice them (I go through periods of juicing only and periods of blending only - but I've found that I have more energy when I juice as compared to drinking smoothies).
Hope this helps. Babies love green smoothies too, and I'm sure you'll be pleased with how much your little guy likes to drink his greens
Warm Regards,
Thank you for all the info Kate.
He has been starting the night off in his cot lately which is sooooo good and I know eventually he will work it out (number two did and he was soo attached) ...but it was "one of those days" when I wrote the post so much so I told my husband if he was fond of baby breastfeeding then he should do it! ha...the things you say when sleep deprived
LOL - you are SO right. The things we say when we are sleep deprived! I always feel better in the morning, so if I find myself thinking "I can't do this anymore" and it's the end of the day, I know I'll feel quite different in the morning... and I always do
Hi Amarie,
Have you read The No Cry Sleep Solution? There are some excellent suggestions in there for weaning a co-sleeping toddler off night breastfeeding. It really helped us.
Best wishes,
Thanks LJ, I will have to check out The No Cry Sleep Solution.

DES MOINES, Iowa- March 6, 2013 - DuPont Pioneer announced final advancements of 132 new Pioneer® brand corn products for 2013, including 36 new genetic platforms. These new products are available to growers for their 2013 planting.
"Each of these products exemplifies the 'right product for the right acre' strategy to help growers across the U.S. address their local agronomic challenges and continue to maximize yield in the toughest growing environments," says Bob Heimbaugh, North American director of corn product evaluation.
The expansive Pioneer product lineup includes 57 new additions to the Optimum® AcreMax® family of products - providing an innovative single-bag integrated refuge. Of these products, 34 new corn choices - including Optimum AcreMax 1, Optimum AcreMax Xtra and Optimum AcreMax XTreme products - feature insect protection from above and below ground insect pests with the integrated refuge for Corn Belt acres. Also available are 23 new Optimum AcreMax products with dual mode-of-action for above ground insect protection with a 95/5 percent integrated blend which satisfies refuge requirements in the Corn Belt.
The introductions include 27 new Optimum® AQUAmax™ products which doubles the availability of these products from Pioneer. Now, growers ranging from the western to the eastern Corn Belt and north to the Dakotas and Minnesota will have Optimum AQUAmax products to consider for planting.
Growers in geographies where Optimum AQUAmax products are available now have the opportunity to select from 45 new or proven corn products for water-limited environments. Ranging in comparative relative maturity from 89 to 115 CRM, more growers can plant Optimum AQUAmax products on acres annually challenged by water limitations.
"Just about every farm has a field that has a challenging soil type or situation limiting water availability," Heimbaugh says. "Optimum AQUAmax hybrids continue to thrive in dry periods during a growing season or a full-on drought."
On 11,269 on-farm comparisons with competitive products, 2012 yield data from DuPont Pioneer shows an advantage of 8.9 percent with Optimum AQUAmax products in water-limited environments; and a 1.9 percent yield advantage in favorable growing environments at locations harvested. Across the past two growing seasons based on 19,207 on-farm comparisons, Optimum AQUAmax products have shown an 8.7 percent yield advantage in water-limited environments and a 2.6 percent yield advantage in favorable growing conditions.*
"Our dedication to robust genetics and long-lasting trait solutions is especially evident this year as our Optimum AQUAmax products were put to the ultimate test in the widespread drought of 2012," Heimbaugh says.
For more information about Pioneer corn hybrids and the broad range of top-producing Pioneer products, growers should contact their local Pioneer sales professionals.
DuPont Pioneer is the world's leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing high-quality seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries. Pioneer provides agronomic support and services to help increase farmer productivity and profitability and strives to develop sustainable agricultural systems for people everywhere. Science with Service Delivering Success™.

Viking 56 Convertible — By
Capt. Bill Pike
|Can a shapely, supremely equipped battlewagon double as a comfy cruiser? Oh yeah!
When Viking Yachts intro'd the popular 55 Convertible about a half-dozen years ago, I was way more intrigued than I usually am when a manufacturer splashes a new vessel. The size was right, for sure--I can't think of a more sensible envelope for a practical sportfishing machine than a LOA in the mid-50s range. The boat was chock-full of the engineering virtues that are typical of Viking--the ones that make sense to folks who extensively use and cruise their boats. Furthermore, the offshore fishing essentials were there. If memory serves, the 55 had a large, savvily accoutered cockpit with a sole close enough to the waterline to facilitate hauling a fish aboard, and her flying bridge, with Palm Beach-style steering console and extended hardtop option, was a tournament skipper's dream.
But there was something else that tickled my fancy about the boat--the same something that hallmarks Viking's new 56 Convertible, a successor to the 55 in some respects, albeit a slightly longer and substantially beamier one. Call it class perhaps, if what you're attempting to describe is a certain solid, uncompromising air of distinction. Or call it style, if it's curvaceousness and sleekness you're shooting for, infused with just enough tradition to make the boat look like a boat, not a swoopy chunk of abstract art. One way or the other, I'd probably agree, although I'd have to add an important observation, based solely on a little offshore trip I recently did on the 56, a prototype optionally outfitted with a matched set of 1,480-hp MTUs.
The day was a pretty one. We departed Miami about mid-morning and made our way up the coast to Fort Lauderdale at a cruise speed of maybe 33 or 34 knots, arriving a little before noon. The velocity with which we covered the 20-some NMs from one spot to the next was not in itself astounding--Vikings are wave-chompers for the most part and fast, and the mellifluous sea state the day we made the run was hardly a challenge to a boat of the 56's capabilities. What was astounding, or at least seriously attention-getting, was the utter confidence the boat inspired en route, both in me and, I think it's fair to say, everybody else onboard.
Confidence is an ephemeral quality, of course. Although you'd think it would have something to do with a boat's size, it often does not. I've test-driven vessels that were so small, I expected them to perform with aplomb, for example, but nope--they were untrustworthy. On the other hand, I've test-driven boats that were so big, I expected them to perform like lumber wagons, but again, nope--they felt so staunch and constant, they gained my confidence immediately. Exactly why the 56 (and, for that matter, the 55) fit so squarely into this latter camp I can't say, although a few thoughts came up on the trail to Lauderdale.

The National Wildlife Federation and the Mississippi Wildlife Federation celebrate the recent federal appeals court decision upholding the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stop construction of the Yazoo Pumps in the Mississippi Delta.
"Today, taxpayers, wildlife and wetlands are safer from the endless drain of the Yazoo Pumps," said Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. "While the Pumps were touted as a flood control project, they would have drained the taxpayers' wallets to make flooding worse and destroy valuable habitat for fish and wildlife. We would have been burdened with the environmental and economic damage of this bad investment for generations," said Schweiger.
"Two Administrations, two courts and the public have rejected the Yazoo Pumps project because of the terrible impact it would have had on the economy and the local ecosystem," said Dr. Cathy Shropshire, executive director of the Mississippi Wildlife Federation. "Hunting, fishing, flood protection and fiscal commonsense would have been threatened if this wasteful and destructive project had moved forward."
The Yazoo Pumps would have destroyed up to 200,000 acres of wetlands that protect communities from flooding and provide clean drinking water and fish and wildlife habitat, including wetlands on two national wildlife refuges in the Mississippi Delta. This devastating Army Corps of Engineers project would have cost Americans at least $220 million to build and one million dollars a year to maintain.
The adverse impacts were so great that the Bush Administration rejected the project in 2008, using EPA's Clean Water Act veto authority for just the twelfth time in history. The Obama Administration defended the veto of the money-wasting Yazoo Pumps.
On March 6, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld EPA's authority to veto this destructive project. The Yazoo Pumps would have caused unacceptable harm to fish and wildlife. The National Wildlife Federation and Mississippi Wildlife Federation were intervenors in the lawsuit, and were represented by the law firm of King & Spaulding LLP. Along with numerous coalition partners, these groups have been fighting the Yazoo Pumps wetlands drainage project for more than 20 years.

With maple bacon cupcakes and salted caramel milkshakes now on the menu, it's easy to forget that not long ago sprinkling sea salt over anything sweet was a little bit brave.
If you're daydreaming about Pineapple Upside Cake with Hawaiian Sea Salt right about now, you're not alone — we are too. It's summer and we're hooked on the whole sweet and savory thing ourselves. In fact, just thinking about all the clever and complex summer pairings that have yet to make it mainstream has our sweet (and salty) tooths going AWOL.
Hungry for answers, we caught up with Pastry Chef Christina Lee of NYC's Recette to uncover a few off-the-beaten path ideas for salt-ifying popular summer desserts.
5 Salty Sweet Pairings for the Summer:

Has anyone ever learned what exactly Tom Marvolo Riddle did in the Horcrux Cave as a youngster that traumatized Amy Benson and Dennis Bishop into silence? I have always been rather curious about that particular topic and did not know if anyone else has heard any mention made about it by Rowling. Anyone got any idea? TomMarvoloRiddle1926 05:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't remember ever to be mentionet about him doing it in the cave, but only that he used his magic to levitate himself and the kids to where the cave was, that itself was what could have traumatize them. --Bluelantern 18:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I thought he actually took them into the Cave, Dumbledore just mentioned that he thought the trip alone would have scared the children enough. I think Dumbledore said he actually visited the Cave with them, using magic to get them all down there, and then he did something inside the Cave that really traumatized them into silence. That's what I was curious about is what he possibly could have done inside the Cave itself that those children into never speaking of it. TomMarvoloRiddle1926 19:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

• Lifebloom's bloom effect has been reduced by 20%.
Ok well that's gonna be crap for PvP. Not so much for PvE. I bet other teams are cheering...
• Druids now innately have 100% pushback protection from damage while channeling Tranquility.
Sounds good on paper but maybe I'm thinking in the PvP mindset. Halfus Wyrmbreaker has a knockback, does that count as a pushback? I'll have to throw a tranquility in there to see. That might be kind of useful.
• Gift of Nature (passive) also reduces Tranquility's cooldown by 2.5/5 minutes.
• Malfurion's Gift now reduces the cooldown of Tranquility by 2.5/5 minutes.
Well that's pretty awesome. With no nerf to Tranquility ouput looks like I'll be using it a bit more. So basically it's saying that having Malfurion's Gift and being resto spec reduces Tranquility cd by 5mins? Sweet.
• Efflorescence has been redesigned. It creates a healing zone at the feet of a Swiftmend target, but this healing zone now restores health equal to 4/8/12% of the amount healed by Swiftmend to the three most injured targets within 8 yards, every 1 second for 7 seconds. This periodic effect now also benefits from spell haste, but the individual ticks cannot be critical effects. In addition, Living Seed is no longer a prerequisite talent for Efflorescence.
Now I have a good reason to dump efflorescence. Only 3 targets?? That is gonna be crap for Chimaeron. Looks like more tranquility for Chimaeron woot. Though since you get 12% per tick and you can get 8 or 9 ticks off it (because of my haste) it might be good for some really low health peeps. Anyway, for now I've dropped it. See how that goes.
• Nature's Swiftness now also increases the healing done by the affected nature spell by 50%.
This is nice. I was thinking of dropping NS for PvE but I think I'll keep it now. Good for those "Oh Shit" moments. But this will be a nice winner for PvP too.
• Dark Intent: The friendly target of this ability now receives 1% (stacking 3 times to 3%) periodic spell damage and healing bonus instead of 3% (stacking 3 times to 9%). The casting Warlock still receives 3% (stacking 3 times to 9%).
Ok that's a minor suck. I don't really miss the bonus healing, it's the haste that I would miss. Of course for 2s that's a different story, I might miss it more there.
• Soulstone can now be used in combat to resurrect a targeted dead player.
Yes but I wonder if it can be glyphed so that you come back with 100% health? I think the druid BRez will still be the best option, so they can't replace us yet.
• A dead player can now be resurrected by targeting them using the Party or Raid Frame even if they have released. No more hunting for corpses.
Excellent. Makes it a billion times easier to Battle Rez.
Now... who isn't excited about the return of Zul'Aman!! Wait, you're not? Go hit yourself in the head and then come back and read this blog then.
I wonder when I'll get a chance to try the new instance? With raiding on every other night it may be a while. And Zul'Gurub too. I bet by the time I get home today lots of people will have done the instance.
Also I respecced today, removing Efflorescence, and putting all the points into Nature's Bounty which makes me more a tank healer than a raid healer. We did BWD today and I was still top heals but I felt a little mana pushed. I think might end up dropping NS and putting Efflorescence back in. And maybe drop swift rejuvenation too.

Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla Ice Cream Cupcakes
As I mentioned yesterday, I had some leftover ganache in the fridge. Since I was trying to empty it out, I decided to make some cupcakes for Hubby too. These are just a variation on my dairy-free ice cream cupcakes.
I used the same cupcakes, but used regular ice cream and then topped with ganache. Once the ganache set, I drizzled the strawberry cream cheese glaze over the top.
And just for fun, I did that again. Hubby loved these little treats.
I am submitting these cupcakes into the blogging event hosted by Cupcake Project and Scoopalicious. Be sure to check back to vote for their reader's choice cupcakes. Voting will be the first week in June.

Editor's note: Kansas State University's Management, Analysis and Strategic Thinking (MAST) program is an interactive learning program that kicks off on the KSU campus in Manhattan on Nov. 13-14. Participants should register no later than Nov. 2
As the external factors impacting today's production and agribusiness operations continue to evolve, it is more important than ever to have a strong risk management strategy in place to combat threats and take advantage of opportunities.
"Risk is an inherent factor in many aspects of production and agribusiness operations, whether you're talking external influences on crop yield; financial planning; or purchasing versus leasing decisions," said Mykel Taylor, assistant professor and director of the Management, Analysis and Strategic Thinking program in the department of agricultural economics at Kansas State University. "Understanding the specific risks that could impact your operation is crucial, but developing a plan to control and combat risks is even more crucial."
Developing an effective risk management strategy starts by not only identifying the risks affecting the business operation but also understanding them, which can be overwhelming since risk spans across so many disciplines. However, comprehensive educational opportunities do exist that are specifically designed for agricultural producers and agribusiness professionals.
The Management, Analysis and Strategic Thinking (MAST) program, led by Taylor and the K-State department of agricultural economics, is an interactive learning program designed to provide participants with the tools they need to sharpen their management skills, decision making abilities and strategic planning tactics for direct application to their farm, ranch or agribusiness – all built on a convenient hybrid educational model.
"MAST is comprised of two on-campus workshops, one in November and one in February, that serve as book-ends to computer-based learning modules that participants complete at their own pace in the convenience of their own homes," said Taylor. "In addition to a module specifically dedicated to the topic of risk management, the curriculum dives into land ownership and leasing; machinery ownership and leasing; human resource management; tax and policy management; financial analysis; marketing; and more, ensuring participants are prepared to handle risk across the various facets of their operation."
The depth of education offered by MAST in these topics is then tied into strategy development, which helps participants prepare their risk management and business plans.
"MAST will give you the tools you need to develop an effective business plan – a plan that will provide a roadmap for decision making through an objective, economic lens rooted in your intentions and goals for your farm, ranch or agribusiness," Taylor said. "Whether you want to grow in size or scope, participate in a related venture, prepare to turn your operation over to a new generation, or simply maintain your operation in the midst economic fluctuation and volatile commodity markets – the strategic planning skills covered in the MAST program will serve you in making the best decisions possible for your future."
The MAST program is facilitated by industry-renowned agricultural economists including Art Barnaby, Allen Featherstone and Glynn Tonsor, in addition to many other top faculty from the K-State department of agricultural economics and departments from other top schools in the country. Participants gain not only educational benefits from the program but also the opportunity to network with these respected academic leaders, as well as with other participants from around the agricultural community.
Registration is currently open for the 2012-2013 MAST program, kicking off on the K-State campus in Manhattan November 13-14, 2012. Participants should register no later than November 2, 2012. For more information and to register, visit www.AgManager.info/MAST2012or call 785-532-6702 to speak with the program coordinator.
Developing a risk management strategy is not something to put off, and MAST provides the education needed to initiate or update risk management strategies for any farm, ranch or agribusiness, regardless of size, scope or ultimate goal.

A long-established Ilkley cycling business has opened the doors of its showroom and cafe in landmark business premises on the edge of Ilkley town centre.
Ilkley Cycles – formerly known as JD Cycles – has moved to its new base at the former Nidd Vale car showroom, once Glover's Garage, on Skipton Road.
The showroom and garage closed on December 11, and the Ilkley cycle retailer and bike workshop has taken on the lease.
The prime site will put the business in the front row when the Grand Depart of the Tour de France hurtles along Skipton Road this July.
Business owner, Adam Evans, said: "We're terrifically excited. It's been two years in the planning."
The showroom interior has been converted in a modern bicycle showroom, selling a large range of mountain bikes and road bikes, and associated equipment.
The first floor of the building now houses a bicycle workshop, where about 100 bikes a week will be repaired.
The new store also has its own cafe, which has been named The Fuel Station.
Staff say the store has already been attracting interest, both from keen cyclists and other visitors.
An opening celebration is expected to take place later this month.
The store is also hoping to set up a special viewing platform for guests on Tour de France race day.

Harrogate Railway 0 Warrington Town 2
WARRINGTON Town will host Bamber Bridge in the play-off semi finals on Tuesday night after rounding off the regular season with a 2-0 win over Harrogate Railway.
A classy finish from Ben Wharton and a tap-in for Ash Ruane in either half helped Town gain the win they needed to ensure a home tie in their first appearance in the divisional play-offs.
The game at Station View was slow to get going, and had all the makings of an end of season game, despite Town knowing they may need a result depending on results elsewhere.
It took 13 minutes for Town to create their first chance, Conor Roberts lashing a left foot half volley wide of the goalkeeper's left hand post.
A switch to 4-4-2 midway through the first half gave Shaun Reid's men control of the game, and moments after Richard Wright and Wharton got in each other's way trying to get on the end of a Louis Corrigan cross, the visitors took the lead.
Good work by Roberts won the ball in midfield, and he played the ball in to Wharton's feet, and the striker turned well and fired sharply in to the far corner of the goal, a finish reminiscent of the early season form that has deserted him for large parts of the New Year.
That gave Town something to defend, and they led 1-0 at the break, despite some late Harrogate pressure.
The pressure continued in to the second half, although the only thing Josh Ollerenshaw in the Town goal had to deal with was a weak shot that he tipped around the post from close range.
Town almost had a second on 64 minutes, substitute Ruane knocking the ball round the goalkeeper, and staying on his feet despite contact, screwed the ball back for Chris Gahgan, who fired wide.
Ruane, so often a super sub for Town this season, should have scored barely a minute later when Wharton released him in the box, but his shot after cutting in on his left foot was weak.
Although the goalless draw between Bamber Bridge and Ramsbottom meant a result wasn't needed for Town, they were given a reminder of Harrogate's threat when Adam Baker thumped a shot against the crossbar.
But on 73 minutes, it was game over. Gahgan received a short free kick inside the box, turned his way through and then squared across the goalmouth for Ruane to screw in for 2-0.
A couple of good saves from Ollerenshaw kept Harrogate scoreless, and Town nearly claimed a third late on, when Wharton's shot hit the inside of the post and flashed along the line in to the goalkeeper's grateful hands.
In the other Evo-Stik League First Division North play-off semi-final, Darlington will host Ramsbottom.
The winners of the semi-finals will meet at the home ground of the highest ranked team next Saturday.
Harrogate Railway: Crook, Kidd (Hiza), Radcliffe, Thirkell, Morris, Ibrahimi, Baker, Cartman, Farquharson, Hunter (Dwyer), Bromley (Karsamagkas). Unused subs: Hunter, Goodison.
Warrington: Ollerenshaw, Davies, Corrigan, Roberts (Meakin), McCarten, Thompson, Wright (Gahgan), Mannix, Wharton, Kilheeney, Tuck (Ruane).

Security Council: Ambassador Wittig on Peace and Security in Africa (The Sahel)
(Security Council: Statement as delivered by Ambassador Wittig on Peace and Security in Africa (The Sahel))
"Thank you, Mr. President !
I wish to thank you on the onset for having convened today's briefing. Germany attaches great importance to the situation in the Sahel. We therefore highly appreciate your timely initiative to debate the current challenges the Sahel region is facing. Germany aligns itself with the EU statement to be delivered later.
Let me also thank the Secretary General for his remarks, as well as Mr Prodi and Mr Guterres for their very helpful briefings. Furthermore I would like to welcome the representatives of the regional and subregional organisations as well as the representatives of the OIC, the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
Mr. President,
The situation in the Sahel has been brought to the attention of this Council only by the end of last year. Yet, longstanding structural problems have been hampering the development of the region for a long time.
The current crisis in Mali has highlighted the challenges and threats to peace and security the Sahel is facing. Tackling these highly complex challenges includes the fight against terrorism, transnational organised crime and proliferation, providing an immediate response to the humanitarian crisis as well as promoting socio-economic development, good governance, democracy, rule of law and respect for human rights. In a long-term perspective, it also includes finding responses to environmental challenges caused among other things by climate change.
Mr. President,
Allow me to elaborate on some of those challenges:
The rise of terrorism and the establishment of a safe haven and training ground for terrorists in the region are of paramount concern and require immediate attention and action. In this context, Germany would like to reiterate its support for the listing of relevant terrorist groups and their affiliates under the Al-Qaida sanctions regime.
The ongoing proliferation of arms in the region is equally worrying. The international community as well as established regional mechanisms should continue to support national efforts in the region to combat proliferation.
Germany engages in projects on arms control both bilaterally and within the framework of the EU border management program. Germany has always advocated for a comprehensive approach to combat the destabilizing accumulation and illicit trafficking of small arms and light weapons. We are currently funding various projects on stockpile management and security as well as on demobilisation and integration in various African countries.
Mr. President,
Climate change and its adverse effects represent another serious challenge to stability and peace in the Sahel region. So far, this aspect has been neglected, but without any doubt needs greater attention.
Besides security, development and environmental issues, the humanitarian situation in the Sahel region remains of great concern and calls for immediate action. The international community needs to urgently step up its assistance. Since the end of 2011, Germany has so far pledged 80 Mio. US$.
Mr. President,
let me also address some possible ways of tackling the challenges in the Sahel:
First, the importance of capacity building and institution building cannot be stressed enough. These elements are key to enabling functioning state institutions not only to adequately address national challenges individually but also to strengthening effectively their cooperation with neighbours as part of joint strategies and programs. In this regard, we would also like to underline the importance of support through subregional and regional organisations and the UN. My country remains active in supporting a number of capacity building projects, such as providing technical assistance within the framework of the Customs Data Project or with regard to the UNODC Global Container Programs.
We would also like to recall in this respect the establishment of the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use earlier this year - a noveltyin this region. This centre is designed to respond to climate change and to preserve sustainable livelihoods in the region.
Secondly, I wish to underline the importance of improving national, international and multinational cooperation and coordination, including with the European Union and its integrated Strategy for Development and Security in the Sahel. The EU Strategy has already been translated into concrete action and I would therefore strongly encourage close coordination and collaboration between the UN and the EU in order to create synergies already during the elaboration of the UN Sahel strategy.
Mr. President,
Finally, we all agree on the need for a comprehensive overarching approach which we hope to see in the UN Sahel Strategy.
The High Level Event on the Sahel in September gave us a first glimpse on the outline of this strategy and we welcome the meeting of the Special Envoys for the Sahel last week in Rome under the guidance of Mr. Prodi as a further step towards the resolution of the multiple crises in the Sahel region.
At this point, I would like to thank the Mr. Prodi for his efforts and assure him of my government's full support to his endeavours.
Thank you, Mr. President !"

After finally reaching the stage where I have accumalted enough programming knowledge ( hopefully ) to re-design my site using CSS3, I am left with only 1 challenge: Xhtml 1 or html 5.From all I have read, I think I understand that xhtml gives better options to optimise for Android/Iphone/small screen platforms, but can have some compatibility problems for various browsers/systems.
Is there a concrete downside to using Xhtml? If so, what is it?
No, there isn't. HTML5 is not really ready for use, either, as it's still in development, so best to stick with what works for now. (Mind you, there's not much advantage using XHTML over HTML4, but it's up to you.)
By the way, CSS3 is also in development, and the few bits of it that are supported now don't work in older browsers, so use it wisely and with caution.
Just don't bother with XHTML, it is dead in the water. Has been for the longest time.
XHTML2 is dead in the water, but not XHTML, which is perfectly fine to use and will presumably be usable for many years to come. These days, even the latest version of IE upports it (wow!), but it's worth noting that it was never supported by IE8 and under, meaning that it has to be served as text/html, which means you might as well have used HTML4 all along.
Thanks Ralph,
As there is no "real" (if there is such a thing as real) downside, I'll take the plunge and use Xhtml as the platform. I may not really use the difference, but if I do find something useful that is specifically "X", it will save me redoing the site again. This is the second time I have to do a complete overhaul, and I am getting fed up with patching up.
I know CSS3 is not "finished", but at the speed things are developing in the web world, I doubt any platform will ever be finished and stay unchanged for more than a year.With regards to this, I am mainly concerned with avoiding application of coding that creates display incompatibility problems between brosers like [text decoration - blink] not being recognised by IE because people may find it irritating. (No, the irony of MS taking action to avoid people getting irritated, is not lost on me)
Things seem to last longer than that on the web. Anyhow, I guess the point is to use only what you really need, as you can do pretty much anything you need to with HTML4 and CSS2.
That is good to know. As you know, I am far from being able to call myself an expert ( at least without lying ) and I often get the feeling things change faster than I can learn the laterst updates.I fully agree with your remark to only use what you need. I subsribe to the theory that "less is more" and aim to keep my site as simple as possible without looking cheap/simplistic. Apart from the actual amount of useful information given, I try to keep it as small as possible. My basic premise being that the less code there is, the lower the chance of faults/problems/poor rendering.
Many of us use HTML5 semantics today. I use HTML5 semantics. It's viable, with the same notable exception as with XHTML: legacy IE. I'd go as far as to say XHTML is worse about that.
The thing is, all of us will use HTML5 semantics tomorrow.
Even more, HTML5 semantics gives you the opportunity to keep coding XHTML or just plain old HTML. It's your choice.
But XHTML is an application of XML. And XML is long dead now.
I don't know where you got that idea from, but XML is far from being any where near dead.
XML may be kept on life support for now because of the compatibility issues.
But everybody agrees XML is too verbose and it's on its way out.
Who is everybody? Where is this group of everybody you speak of? I'm going to assume you mis-understand what XML is because like I said. It is far from dead, not on life support and there are no compatibility issues keeping it alive. XML is quite alive on its own.
In your previous post, you said it was dead; now you say it is not.Which one is it? Dead or not?And who are these "everybody" that know this?
Nitpicking are we...
XML, as technology, is quite dead.
XML, as use, has a few breaths left. Mostly for backward compatibility in app settings, manifests. Just because some few stubborn cling on it in their newest release, doesn't make XML livelier.
Uh huh...so YOU say.
For ME, at least, XML is dead. As in no longer a prospect. No longer relevant.
In database world, I don't want data that can break with a little missing >. In HTML world I don't markup that can break with a little missing >. In app settings world, I don't want settings that can break with a little missing >.
It's not that I'm not for strict and rigorous, I am. But for substance, not for structure. Much less for a superfluous verbose structure.
I agree with this. Even pages that claim to be XHTML are nonetheless served as text/html, which means as far as the browser is concerned, it's just plain old HTML, which means there's zero benefit.
You should use the XHTML syntax only if you're using the XHTML features too, otherwise it just shows a poor understanding of what XHTML stands for
You're just presenting the browser with a wrong syntax each and every time it receives your page, which means extra work for it and it opens the door to potentially odd and buggy behavior from its part
And this is true for HTML5 semantics also. Even though the DTD is common for both features, you should choose one and stick with it, you shouldn't create hybrids. Clarity on intent, consistency on code.
From what I understand so far reading through loads of browser discussions, most browsers contain up to 50% "error-patch-coding" to be able to read sloppy coding. As smart phones are grabbing the web market by storm, it is well advisable to make sure your code is spot on, as phone software is more limited than computer software and thus more prone to display problems.Writing clean code is really not that big a chore as long as you pay attention and test it. I handwrite it using wordpad and Notepad++, which makes it easy to spot typos. After that, I run it through a validator on "strict", which will pick up the remaining bit of static.To chose a system because it allows for sloppy coding, is a strange way to go about imho.
As you stated yourself, a code is only as sloppy (or as clean) as you ... code it. It has nothing to do with a system.
I'm not sure how you handwrite code in Wordpad though. For hand-coding HTML, you need a plain text editor, which Wordpad is not.
And HTML has a strict DTD too, not just XHTML.
Finally, you should use XHTML only if you really use it, not as a catching net for coding errors. That's wrong. And strange. And it has the reverse effect on the browser, since you obviously won't be serving it as application/xhtml+xml or application/xml.
I don't think anyone here suggested HTML "because it allows for sloppy coding." We suggested HTML because, even if you use an XHTML doctype and the self-closing slashes, browsers are nonetheless parsing your code as if it were plain HTML. The XHTML is just a facade.

Troopers said 30-year-old Luis Galvan-Sanchez was backing out of the driveway at 4466 Canna Drive when he hit 3-year-old Aunjay Grice.
Sanchez told troopers he did not see the child playing behind the car, officials said.
Troopers said an uncle left Grice and an 8-year-old child unsupervised outside when the accident happened.
Troopers said Grice was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital where he was in critical condition.
A family member who answered the phone in Grice's room told Local 6 the boy was doing better Sunday night, but he's still in the Intensive Care Unit.
Troopers cited Sanchez for improper backing and having an expired driver's license.

Topic: Questions to ask
Hello All! My husband and I are waiting for an appointment to discuss his latest biopsy results. Will call to schedule on Monday. After the biopsy the Dr. stated he was almost positive that he would be a good candidate but needed to speak to his partner. Until then, I've been reading some of your postings and noticed many have had a resection and other organs have been removed as well during the surgery. Were you informed prior to the resection of this? What questions should we be asking our Dr. at our appointment if he suggests that we go ahead with the surgery?

DETROIT - Marco Scutaro singled home the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Sunday night to complete a four-game sweep and win their second World Series title in three years.
Ryan Theriot, who went hitless for St. Louis in Game 7 of last year's Series, singled softly into right field off Phil Coke opening the 10th.
Brandon Crawford sacrificed, nearly bunting the ball past Coke. Angel Pagan struck out and Scutaro singled into short center field as Theriot slid home ahead of Austin Jackson's throw.
Pablo Sandoval, who hit three homers in Game 1, was selected Series MVP. He was 1 for 5 in Game 4, dropping his Series average to .500 (8 for 16).
Santiago Casilla got the final out of the ninth for the win, and Sergio Romo struck out the side in the 10th for his third save, freezing Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera with a called third strike to end it. The Giants ran out of the dugout and bullpen to celebrate between the mound and second base.
Of the 24 teams to take 3-0 Series leads, 21 swept and three won in five games.
Delmon Young hit a tying home run off Matt Cain in the sixth. Cabrera and San Francisco's Buster Posey homered, marking the first time both reigning batting champions went deep in the same Series game.
San Francisco's Brandon Belt hit an RBI triple off the right-field wall in the second inning following a ground-rule double by Hunter Pence. But on a night when the wind was gusting to right field at up to 25 mph, Cabrera put Detroit ahead for the first time in the Series with a wild-blown, two-run drive in the third.
Cabrera's drive, on an 86 mph breaking ball, sailed over Pence, who thought he would catch it but ran out of room in front of the right-field wall on the cool, blustery night. It drove Jackson, who had walked with one out, and ended Detroit's 20-inning scoreless streak.
San Francisco had not trailed since losing Game 4 of the NL championship series, when the Giants fell into a 3-1 series deficit against St. Louis.
With a light rain falling, Scutaro reached on a chopper to third leading off the sixth and, one out later, Max Scherzer hung an 82 mph breaking ball. Posey drove it down the left-field line, where it stayed a few feet fair and landed a couple of rows over the wall for a 3-2 lead.
That advantage didn't last long. Young sent an opposite-field, no-doubt drive into the right-field stands in the bottom half, setting off cheers among the crowd of 42,152, with many fans waving white rally towels.
Andy Dirks followed with a single and Jhonny Peralta hit a drive that Gregor Blanco caught against the wall in left.
After watching Barry Zito, Madison Bumgarner and Ryan Vogelsong each allow one run or none in the first three games, Cain gave up three runs and five hits in seven innings with five strikeouts and two walks.
Scherzer, pitching on nine days' rest, gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings, struck out eight and walked none. After he left with a runner on second and one out in the seventh, lefty Drew Smyly retired Brandon Crawford on a flyout and righty Octavio Dotel induced a groundout from Angel Pagan.
Smyly, Dotel and Coke combined for 2 2-3 innings of hitless relief before the 10th.
Jeremy Affeldt followed Cain and struck out four in a row before Peralta hit a ninth-inning drive to center that the wind carried and was caught by Pagan on the warning track
Casilla relieved and hit Omar Infante with a pitch, breaking his left hand. Danny Worth ran for Infante and Gerald Laird hit into a forceout.
Sandoval was 1 for 5, dropping his Series average to .500 (8 for 16). He also made a nimble play to throw out Quintin Berry on a bunt to third.
Detroit's Prince Fielder was hitless in four at-bats, dropping to 1 for 14 in the World Series (.071) and 1 for 25 (.040) against right-handers in the postseason.
Detroit has lost seven straight postseason games.
On a 44-degree night, fans bundled up at Comerica Park and some players wore caps with earflaps during batting practice.
Detroit scratched catcher Alex Avila, playing with a sore right arm since he was hit by a foul tip in the opener, and replaced him with Laird. Infante moved up to eighth in the batting order.
San Francisco started Ryan Theriot at designated hitter instead of Hector Sanchez.

We're In!
Yesterday, I stopped in to The Frame Maker to watch Tom Houk and his team in action as they framed a vibrant piece by Patrick Ryoichi Nagatani for the upcoming Photo Auction. The team brings craft and soul to the process, calling MOPA staff on a daily basis to ensure framing is just right for every piece.
Just a few months ago, I was nervously preparing for a meeting to request sponsorship from The Frame Maker. Asking a local frame shop to donate the majority of framing for the auction seemed a stretch, and I braced myself for a tough meeting. Tom greeted me as I arrived and invited me to the conference table. Before I could even launch into my carefully prepared Photo Auction monologue, Tom and team were on board. "Relax. We're in." he said. "Let's just figure out the details."
It was the same with Christie's Los Angeles, Artworks San Diego, Green Fresh Florals, Bencotto, George's, Alchemy, Robertson Taylor and so many other businesses who are pitching in to make this event possible.
In fundraising, you get used to cold receptions when asking for donations. The warmth and support I received for the Photo Auction was startling. It says something about these businesses, as well as excitement for the event itself.
You'll see the results on October 5.

STAGE TUBE: Wesley Taylor, Audra McDonald & More in IT COULD BE WORSE- Episode 2
The first season of all-new dark comedy series "it could be worse," just debuted on Friday, February 1. It is co-created and written by longtime collaborators Mitchell Jarvis and Wesley Taylor. Check out episode 2 with Wesley Taylor, Mitchell Jarvis, Nancy Opel, Gideon Glick, Kyle Dean Massey, and Audra McDonald below!
In "it could be worse," actor Jacob Gordon (Wesley Taylor) can't seem to catch a break. Victimized by the grueling rejections of an ugly business, horny parents exploring their mid-life crisis, and a delusional boyfriend who needs constant babysitting, Jacob is lost. He tries to be "good" and not give in to temptations. He tries to be "open" and have an understanding of the people around him... but at the end of the day, Jacob Gordon is a doormat. His epic streak of bad luck might just change, however, when he gets cast in the new Broadway musical "The Ice Queen" -- playing opposite stage and screen royalty Veronica Bailey.
"it could be worse" features Adam Chanler-Berat (Peter and the Starcatcher, Nest to Normal) as Ben Farrel, Alison Fraser (Gypsy, The Secret Garden) as Veronica Bailey, Gideon Glick (Spring Awakening, Spider-Man) as Jacob's boyfriend Phillip Klein, Mitchell Jarvis as Sam Atkinson, Tony Award nominee Nancy Opel (Urinetown, Memphis) as Jacob's mother Judy Gordon and Richard Poe (Nice Work..., Present Laughter) as Jacob's father Leo Gordon.

SYNOPSIS: A comedic spoof based on the worldwide phenomenon, The Twilight Saga. REVIEW: If you didn't make the connection from the curiously comedic title then you probably aren't a "Twilight" fan. With any franchise that reaches superstar status there waits a film production in the wings waiting to be poked fun at. I will confess that I never got around …Read More »

hey guys. ok, this is just a little quiz thingy. basically type in the comments a brief summery of your personality. like the key things or something and I'll tell you what superpower you would have. Just for a bit of fun. Anyones welcome.
For instance:
"I'm an aspiring animator and relatively peaceful 16 year old - however sometimes a bit of a dick even to my closest friends - who also has a devil-may-care attitude and tries to make jokes about everything. Don't get the wrong impression though I am a nice guy who can sit and respect people's feelings as well as know when to shut up and get on with my work... But yeah in a nutshell becoming a successful animator is what really matters to me."
Thus: I reckon the power of being able to bring my drawings to life (Animation) would suit me best.

Inadvertently, I have become the willing spokesman for the ever silent minority; those land bound, upright homosapiens who care not to revisit the oceans and seas from whence Darwin hypothesized we came.
Assuming our position on the high ground (usually sipping a refreshing citrus and rum concoction while Bob Marley plays in the background), buffered by an endless expanse of sand and rocky beach, we scan the watery horizon for any sign of the known evils lurking beneath the surface. Amid the flotsam and jetsam of eons of maritime tragedies; mixed with the decaying squid carcasses and lifeless jellyfish remains; propelling themselves silently over reefs and through wild currents; the demons of the sea plot their evil and wait ... wait until the day the Earth is belongs to them.
I, of course, am speaking of dolphins — which much like Justin Beiber, have lured the unsuspecting masses into a false sense of calm, relying on their cuteness and perceived non-threatening demeanor to pull off this charade. Dolphins, those mega-sized sea slugs, with their beady eyes and arrogant smirk and constant chattering laughter, have something up their proverbial sleeve. That is, of course, if they cloaked themselves in a proverbial shirt. Few things are as unsettling to me as a grinning dolphin, unless you include a grinning Don Knotts (I shudder thinking about it) ... who coincidentally, was turned into a dolphin in the now classic 1964 suspense film "The Incredible Mr. Limpet."
Now, let it be said that I am not a follower of crypto zoologists and their far-fetched beliefs, nor am I one of those nutty, reclusive conspiracy theorists. (Though I am of the opinion that in 1997 I witnessed the long suspected deceased Elvis prepping meatloaf at a Cracker Barrel in Macon, Ga.) Despite this, I've opined for some time now that dolphins are indeed "up to no good." They subliminally convince us to gather in large groups at multiple Sea World locations and hand over large amounts of money for seating and merchandise, then proceed to make believable the concept that it's the humans who've trained the dolphins. They jump and flip and splash, mesmerizing in their grace and agility, all the while watching us — and laughing, always laughing.
Scientists have long studied and documented the intelligence of these aquatic fiends, compiling colorful charts and multi-layered bar graphs and reams of squiggly sonic readings of their "click and whistle" language, as secretive and indecipherable as the Navajo code talkers of World War II. The consensus is that these sounds are used to signal danger, find food and keep members of the same pod in contact. But I know better. I imagine a transcript of an actual dolphin conversation would read as follows.
First dolphin: "Say, is that a tourist filled pontoon boat over there?"
Second dolphin: "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin?"
First dolphin: "Yeah, let's all skim the surface together, causing all the overweight amateur photographers to shift starboard and perhaps capsize the boat."
Second dolphin: "Ooooo, OK. What fun!"
I'm betting dolphins also had a hand (or fin) in creating the additive which makes high calorie, artificially flavored snack type foods so addictive. In addition, dolphins may be responsible for recliners, player pianos, garage door openers, escalators, cars that park themselves, techno music and web dating sites. After all, a sluggish, irresponsible, semi mobile, gasping for breath, unable to think and make decisions for themselves populace would be far easier to overtake when the time for revolution comes.
So go ahead, swim in the Gulf and happily applaud when they bounce a beach ball on their snout. I'm heading for higher ground.
