In the coming weeks, delegates from the Republican and Democratic parties will gather at highly choreographed events to formally anoint their respective presidential nominees. But the decisions that these conventioneers make will for the most part have been cemented long before.
American political conventions haven't always been so predictable. Before they became scripted for TV, conventions were where some of the most critical policy questions were resolved, and where political careers were made or ruined. In this episode of BackStory, the American History Guys venture into the back rooms, chaotic halls, and streets where these dramas unfolded. They consider the radical roots of the convention ritual itself and explore the ways that ritual was mainstreamed. Over the course of the hour, the History Guys hear the voices of anti-corruption crusaders in the 1820s, women's rights activists at Seneca Falls, and civil rights workers in 1964, all of whom turned to conventions as venues for change. Through it all, they ask how well American political conventions have lived up to their promise of representing constituents back home.
Guests Include:
Michael Holt, University of Virginia, on the Anti-Masonic Party Convention of 1830.
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-Washington, D.C., on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) of 1964.
Leslie B. McLemore, former MFDP delegate, on the strategy of the Party at the '64 Democratic National Convention.
Nancy Hewitt, Rutgers University, on the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention.
Richard Bensel, Cornell University, on William Jennings Bryan's 1896 "Cross of Gold" speech.

BRISTOL ROVERS are looking for their sixth manager in three years after Mark McGhee was sacked last night.
McGhee replaced Paul Buckle in January, but has overseen a run of eight defeats in the last ten League Two games which leaves Rovers in the bottom two, with the 4-1 reverse at York City proving the final straw.
Since Paul Trollope was axed two years ago, Rovers have had five different managers but chairman Nick Higgs felt the club had no option but to make another change.
He said: "We had hoped that the appointment of Mark McGhee would give the club some stability and long term progress, but unfortunately that has not been the case.
"We have decided that we can no longer continue with the current situation and had to make the difficult decision to part company with Mark. We decided we had to act now before it was too late."
Former Rovers and Bristol City striker Marcus Stewart has been installed as the early favourite for the job, closely followed by assistant manager Shaun North and Exeter City coach Andy Tilson, who is a former captain of the club.

My husband gave me this ring as a 10 year anniversary ring. This is a simple, elegant, contemporary ring. The center stone is so clear, you can see the band beneath it. My only wish is that the channel baguettes on either side stood out more. (they somewhat blend in to the white gold surrounding them). Regardless, I'm delighted to have a ring with my 2 favorite diamond cuts now.Read More

We are extremely pleased with the ring!! It is absolutely gorgeous and exactly how it was described. We had a small issue with shipping but o.co Customer Service rectified it almost immediately. I can't wait for our engagement so I can wear it all the time!! Our jeweler was shocked at the quality of the stone and it appraised for almost double of the retail price. We will definitely but fine jewelry from o.co again...Read More

Hello,I am trying to build a responsive site and I used the HTML5 Boiler Plate Responsive template. I know there are some styles in the template that target IE and I don't know if those are messing up the site in IE or if it is IE's bugs and IE being IE that is messing it up. I have found these problems to exist in IE 8 and less, by the way; and, I am looking for any help is solving them.
The site looks and functions fine in Chrome. So, if you are willing to help, please look at it in chrome to see how it is supposed to look.
In IE:
I think the 3rd issue I can fix with IE conditional comments and a smaller text-size, but I am wondering why it is not working when it works well in chrome. Is it because of the units I used for the font-size?
I also know that the 1 image and 1 unicode do not appear. I will fix those two myself.
But, I don't know how to fix the navigation / navigation elements issues and I would appreciate any help is fixing those.
I can provide screenshots of how the site breaks if it will help.
The site is: the-irf.com/site/index.html
Thank you very much for any and all help & Best Regards,Team 1504.
Here are some screenshots of the site breaking where the navigation's elements are not tall enough or the 4th element drops to a new line.
At 486x621:
At 491x632:
At 558x612:
At 578x612:
At 848x617:
These grids/templates all seem to suffer in older versions of IE because they use floats and percentages which IE can't handle very well and will round things up so that they are bigger than the space available and the last item will drop down. You will need to use the .ie rules and apply smaller widths for those items in Ie7 and under. IE8 is usually ok. Or just apply a smaller width to the last item in each row (or a right negative margin to soak up the rounding errors).
I notice you are using :last-child to remove the right margin from the last elements but Ie8 and under don't understand last-child so you will need to add a class to the last item and then remove the right margin (I didn't check if you were using js to support last-child).
Ah, I understand. Thank you for pointing that out.
I wasn't using js to support :last-child, but I may. I will also work on using the .ie classes to get the nav items taller and prevent them from dropping by applying a negative margin-right.
Thank you very much for the help!
I worked on each of the parts that broke / looked bad in IE individually and solved most of them. However, there are 3 that I have been trying to solve, but nothing seems to work.
I would greatly appreciate any help in fixing these last 3 issues that occur in IE7.
Here is the page where this is all happening.
1.) In a viewport-width of 847px and less, there is this space that appears under the navigation. I tried to eliminate margins and padding and even played with the height of the header, but the space remained.The space is in the red-brackets in this image: http://cl.ly/image/1u392v2o0Z3S
2.) Also in the viewport of 847px and less, the navigation is not centred. I believe this is because each of the four elements are not 25%; and, the remaining percentage is causing the off-set. However, their width can not be made any bigger as doing so causes the 4th element in the navigation to drop-down to a new-line. Is there a way the nav can still be, or appear to be, centred?The nav is surrounded by a black-border in this image: http://cl.ly/image/1u392v2o0Z3S
3.) And, lastly, in the viewport-width of 1186px and greater, the items in the navigation are too tall as they overflow over the header and its container.The part that is overflowing and that I have been unable to get rid of in IE7 is surrounded by a black-border in this image: http://cl.ly/image/35213W1N2331
All of these issues occur in IE7 and unfortunately enough of the users of this site use IE7 that it needs to be supported. At least somewhat.
Thank you greatly in Advance,Team 1504
This is awkward to test because my ietester doesn't have developer tools and IE7 only works on online sites and not locally so I can't copy the code locally for testing (and media moderniser doesn't work locally either as far as emulating media queries goes).
Here are a few comments anyway.
I'm guessing its the 10px bottom margin on the anchor here:
nav#desktopNav a {
display: block;
[B]margin-bottom: 10px;[/B]
padding: 15px 0;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
background: #52a573;
background: rgb(82, 165, 115);
Try setting that to zero and see if it relates to the problem or not.
I would use display:inline-block for the anchors instead of floating and then apply text-align:center on the parent ul to center them regardless of their width.
I would guess that this is due to you using box-sizing which IE7 doesn't understand so you get the 103px height + the 25px padding. You will need to reduce the height for IE7 because it doesn't use the border box model. The box-sizing rule really assumes that you aren't going to support browsers older than IE8. Most of these new grids/bootstrap etc don't really cater for older browsers.
Thank you @Paul_O_B for your help.Ah, yes, I don't have developer tools either that is why I couldn't figure out some of these issues.
Your solutions make sense, but they don't seem to be working :-/
The inline-block and text-align centre makes the nav items somewhat more centred, but they are still off, however.Do you think triggering haslayout with display:inline will fix it since this is IE7 ?
Otherwise, here are my implementations of the solutions. I put them in my ie.css file and gave them !important rules, too.
@media only screen and (max-width: 848px){
#desktopNav a{
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
display:inline-block !important;
#desktopNav ul{
text-align: center !important;
@media only screen and (min-width: 1186px){
#desktopNav a{
height:80px !important;
If you think a copy of the site might help, here is zip: http://cl.ly/0l3f323M0Q2e
The display:inline-block is a trigger for haslayout anyway and as the element is an inline element you don't need to do anything fancy for IE7 as inline-block works on inline elements. You may also need to set the list element to display:inline-block and then you would need the hack.
desktopNav li{
I''ll try and look at the code tomorrow as I don't have much time today.
( Note that the 80px height should only be given to IE7 and under using the ie classes added to the html element:
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav a{etc...}
Hello @Paul_O_B,I just wanted to let you know that I added the haslayout trigger so it is display:inline in IE7 and IE6, but the items are still not centred. Nor are they touching the bottom (that stubborn margin isn't collapsing).
Have you gotten a chance to look at the code?
Here is the link to the site: http://the-irf.com/site/and the code is linked in my last / previous post.
Sorry, I have been busy. I'll try and have a look later in the day.
No problem, thank you. I appreciate it your help.
None of the IE media queries are being actioned because your media query fix for IE doesn't work as you have hidden them in conditional comments which as far as the script is concerned is just html comments and ignored.
The reason that all the IE classes are added to the html element is that you don't need to use CCs and you just prefix the rule with the appropriate class to target the version of IE required.
This should be at the end of the main style sheet.
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav a{
height:85px !important;
width:20% !important;
@media only screen and (max-width: 230px){
.lt-ie8 .header-container{
height:20em !important;
@media only screen and (max-width: 247px){
.lt-ie8 .header-container{
height:15em !important;
@media only screen and (max-width: 455px){
.lt-ie8 header{
position:relative !important;
top:42px !important;
@media only screen and (max-width: 848px){
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav a{
width:20% !important;
margin-bottom: 0 !important;
display:inline-block !important;
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav ul{
text-align: center !important;
@media only screen and (min-width: 1186px){
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav a{
height:55px !important;
.lt-ie8 #svg{float:left;}
.lt-ie8 .title{
.lt-ie8 #desktopNav{top:-68px}
Here is a live version:
That header section is badly coded with heights and negative margins and you should code it more logically. If you want to support Ie7 then you must make sure floats come first as they always drop to a new line in IE when they follow inline content (unlike other browsers).
Try not rely on heights and negative top margins to pull things into position as that is too fragile. Just apply the elements in the correct order as required and float (or display:inline-block) when you need horizontal alignment.
Thank you veyr much. You are a life saver. I can't express how appreciate I am.
Thank you.
And I'll redo the header so that it is styled and layed out with better / best practices.

Atoms consist of a nucleus and electrons revolving around that nucleus.
The atom itself is extraordinarily minute, but its components are billions of times smaller than the atom.
The nucleus that makes up almost the whole of the atom, in other words the matter inside it, occupies just one 10 billionth of its volume.
The electrons that revolve around the nucleus are almost without any mass. They are so minute that they can only be seen as a dust cloud even under an electron microscope.
The other 99.999% of the atom is EMPTY SPACE.
The following examples will make it easier to comprehend the minute size of electrons and this vast void within the atom:
Protons are much larger than electrons. One proton is equivalent to 2000 electrons.
The difference between them is equivalent to that between a human being and a peanut.
If we regard a full stop on a piece of paper as the nucleus of the atom, the electron revolving around it is 50 meters away.
If we think of the nucleus as being the size of an apple, then the electron revolving around it would be 50 km away. That is equivalent to the distance between Liverpool and Manchester in the UK.
Therefore, a person standing where the apple is could not even see the electrons revolving as far away as Manchester.
The area within this huge distance represents the vast emptiness within the atom.
The following example can help us grasp this huge void: if one could eliminate all the empty space in the atoms making up one of the tallest buildings in the world, the matter remaining would be smaller than a packet of sugar. Yet the mass of that matter would remain the same and not even the most powerful winches could lift it.
The fact that the building block of matter largely consists of huge empty space is one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century. By showing us this astonishing structure of the atom, Almighty Allah reminds us that He can create whole worlds using no natural causes. This sublime knowledge and artistry belongs to Almighty Allah alone, the Lord of the worlds.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan:
He said, "[Allah] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between them if you knew for sure." (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 24)2012-04-21 01:49:56

The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life. I really wanted to be able to include our parents in the invite and the designer came up with a great solution and moved a few things around. The invite is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!"
"After a few days of search; I finally found this site and I'm excited with my invitation! The cards are easy to customize with so many designs, fonts and colors to chose from. This one caught my eye and I just received them in the mail. Right on time I must say! The paper quality is rich, the print for my photograph is beautiful and the envelopes are thick. It's everything we hoped it'd be and more. I would highly recommend getting this. It gave us an opportunity to share a little bit of who we are as a couple on the invitation as well. In my opinion, it makes it more personal and different. Different is good."
"My color theme for my wedding it a variation of purples and this invitation was just perfect for it. The quality is also great! Delivery was amazingly fast! I am very satisfied with my finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone."

Hello Experts,Would you be able to assist with knowing how to fix over all sidebar alignments. The problem is that the widgets don't align and I want to be able to set them so it looks neat and professional?I am not in IT or programming so please any suggestions or fixes could you please be detailed and thorough in explanation.I have uploaded a screenshot as an attachment.RegardsRE
Hi RealityEconomics. Welcome to the forums.
We can only help if you can provide a live link to the site. Then we can suggest some code to add to your site. Would you know how to use that code? What experience do you have with WordPress?
Also, make sure to give an indication of how you want things aligned.
Hi Ralph,
I appreciate your time. Here is the website: http://realityeconomics.com.au/
I have designed and worked with the website a bit as you can see. I have some SQL experience more for economic outputs (go fetch type of stuff) but would know what to do if you pointed me in the right area of WordPress to add code. I want the graphics RHS aligned.
As an added issue (which I find really frustrating) is that bullet points don't work. So if you go here: http://realityeconomics.com.au/?page_id=565 , I have inserted numbers and not bullet points. The bullet point function simply will not work.
Thanks so much for your time.Reality Economics
All those junky things like ads and Facebook stuff have a mind of their own and are very hard to manipulate. As a compromise, you could give the whole sidebar a background color to help unify it a bit. E.g.
.sidebar {background: #f7f7f7;}
Normally you'd insert that in your custom.css file in WordPress. I'm not sure if you can access that via the WP control panel, but you can easily get to it via FTP, by digging into the theme folder.
bullet points don't work.
Not sure what you are asking here. The numbers work fine. If you don't want numbers, you have to change the
 (ordered list) to
 (unordered list).
Thank you. In terms of the bullet points, the bullet point don't display (yes the numbers do).RE
Yep. so as mentioned, you are using the wrong HTML element. The
 element you are using displays numbers, while the
 element displays bullet points, so you need to change to a
.
I have changed the theme to reflect a colour background for the side bar to try and align the widgets. I thought I fixed it but them get another issue. As you can see my book creates a long column underneath it before the other widgets show. What do I have to do to fix this problem?
I realise WordPress is free but seriously how is one suppose to run a business from it with all these minor issues that in the end create endless hours of work to fix.
This is a CSS/layout issue rather than anything to do with WordPress. (Perhaps it's an error in the theme.)
Anyhow if you know how to access the style sheet (or perhaps just want to add something to the custom style sheet) you could add the line in red (although I'm sure there are other ways to fix this):
#sidebar {
width: 320px;
margin-left: 620px;
overflow: hidden;
Well, you get what you pay for. You wouldn't get a free car for your business and try to fix it yourself if you weren't a mechanic. It would be foolish and unprofessional. It's the same thing when a business grabs a pile of junk like WP and tries to use if for business purposes without understanding how it works. (That's not meant to be an attack on you, BTW. It just makes me sad to see businesses dropping their guard when it comes to the web, and relying on substandard tools for doing business without the normal checks and balances they'd use for any other part of the business.)
Thanks for your help. The site looks a lot better with your suggestions.
One other issue attached, I was wondering if you could help me with.
Regards RE
Feel free to detail the issue you are having. Don't rely on attachments.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - The beating deaths of eight people inside a Glynn County mobile home must have been committed by more than one attacker based on the number of victims and the fact that none escaped despite signs that several put up a struggle, two experts testified Tuesday in defense of the only person standing trial in the killings.
Guy Heinze Jr., 26, could be sentenced to death if he's convicted of malice murder in the Aug. 29, 2009, slayings of his father and seven extended family members at the home they all shared just north of Brunswick.
Wednesday night, Heinze said he would not testify in his own defense, the Florida Times-Union reported. Closing arguments will begin Wednesday morning, and the jury could begin deliberating by afternoon.
Prosecutors told the jury when the trial opened last week that they don't have to decide whether Heinze acted alone or had help committing the slayings to find him guilty. No one else has been charged and Heinze's lawyers noted that police have said for years they're confident Heinze was the only attacker.
"It's inconsistent with anything I've ever seen where one person could control and kill so many people," said Dr. Jonathan Arden, a Virginia-based forensic pathologist hired as a consultant by Heinze's defense team. "This is indicative of more than one assailant."Glynn County mobile home victims
It was Heinze who alerted police to the killings four years ago during a frantic 911 call in which he cried: "My whole family is dead."
Several days later police charged him with killing his father, 45-year-old Guy Heinze Sr., and the other victims. Rusty Toler Sr., 44, was slain along with his four children: Chrissy Toler, 22; Russell D. Toler Jr., 20; Michael Toler, 19; and Michelle Toler, 15. Also slain was the elder Toler's sister, Brenda Gail Falagan, 49, and Joseph L. West, the 30-year-old boyfriend of Chrissy Toler. Her 3-year-old son, Byron Jimerson Jr., ended up the sole survivor but suffered severe head injuries.
Arden said typically victims would have to be tied up or perhaps held at gunpoint for a lone attacker to kill so many in one enclosed space. Toxicology tests on the victims showed one may have taken sleeping pills, but otherwise there was nothing to indicate they were intoxicated by drugs or alcohol.
Some of the victims were found in bed and authorities suspect they were attacked in the hours after midnight when family members were asleep.
Michael Knox, a former Florida police detective who now works as a consultant, testified there were signs several victims struggled and were killed while they tried to flee. Copious blood spatter high on walls and ceilings near some victims, while virtually nonexistent around others, seems to indicate victims were beaten with both long and short weapons, he said.
"This can't be done by one person carrying all this out," Knox told the jury. "You're going to start waking people up and having signs of resistance that require more than one attacker."
He noted photographs of the bedroom where Rusty Toler Sr. and his son Michael where killed had blood spatter that came from opposite directions, indicating the victims were attacked from both sides of the bed they shared. He also concluded West and Chrissy and Michelle Toler, who were killed in the same bedroom, were attacked simultaneously rather and one at a time.
Knox said he would estimate at least three attackers, and perhaps as many as five, killed the victims.
Prosecutor John B. Johnson on cross examination dismissed Knox's conclusion as merely "a guess." Johnson also asked Arden about a statement in his written report on the slayings that said if one person had killed all of the victims it would have likely taken 10 to 20 minutes.
"That would be rushing from victim to victim and moving very quickly," Arden replied.
Johnson then asked if it's possible a lone attacker could have slain all eight people.
"Is it possible within all possibilities in the universe that one person did it? Sure," Arden said.
Arden agreed with the autopsy findings that each victim was beaten to death and died from skull and brain injuries.
Glynn County police Lt. William Daras testified he believes Heinze, who had been smoking crack cocaine in the hours before the slayings, killed the victims to take their money and a bottle of painkillers prescribed to one of them. No murder weapon was ever recovered, but authorities suspect the victims were beaten with a shotgun barrel.
Defense attorneys say police ignored evidence and alternate suspects as they rushed to build a case against Heinze, who was pleaded not guilty.

PASADENA -- With steady, light rain falling, Rose Bowl officials urged the 90,000-plus fans headed to today's UCLA-USC game to wear ponchos.
"Umbrellas are prohibited from the stadium, as they block the view if those behind them," said William Boyer, a spokesman for the City of Pasadena.
The forecast for the 12 noon kickoff was for showers, light winds, and a temperature of about 62 degrees.

Exclusive Interview: No Doubt Part 2
"No matter how fucked up, whatever we end up doing always ends up sounding like No Doubt."
Last week, we were pretty stoked to bring you part one of our exclusive interview with No Doubt. Having one of our favourite writers The Coquette (of advice column Dear Coquette and Notes to My Future Husband) talk to the ever-amazing Gwen Stefani and the guys about topics like having kids, performing post–September 11 and re-uniting after a ten-year hiatus led to enlightening and funny results. In the final installment of the interview we talk group dynamics, signature sounds and having balls.
The Coquette: Okay, back to the music. You've said that the inspiration for Return to Saturn was more to probe your serious musical ability, and then with Rock Steady you wanted to make something fun that people can dance to. Was there an inspiration behind this album?
Adrian: I think that collectively, we've all gotten better at our craft as musicians. Just by doing it longer. There was definitely less, "hey, let's show our musical chops" on this record. It was more about, "let's do something really cool that's not like anything else on the radio right now."
I loved it. I felt like it was a return to your roots. The horn hooks were amazing.
Adrian: Cool. I don't think we're gonna be getting any awards for our individual instrumentation, but that's okay.
You don't need awards.
Tom: The whole thing about being in a band is it's a collective effort. What's great for the song, and what makes the song touch people isn't showing off. It's about supporting the emotion of what's happening in the lyrics, and I think that's something we've gotten better at as the years go on. The idea at the end of the day is to touch people in here. [He points to his heart.]
You mentioned that being in a band is a collective effort. Do you feel that each one of you brings something different to the table?
Tony: Hmm...
Gwen: That's interesting. You know, it's always evolving, and everybody definitely has roles that they play and everybody brings something special.
Tom: We have common ground, and different influences. Adrian is like the energy, you know? I don't want to pigeon hole you as being, like, a punk rocker or rock dude, but Adrian's got... spunk. Spunk? Is that the right word? You have, like, balls.
Adrian: I do have balls. This is true. Not just one. I have two.
Two balls?
Tom: I have a friend who had cancer and lost one. [Tom blinks a few times, then realises he's actually speaking out loud.] Sorry. We don't have to talk about that.
Okay. [The room erupts in nervous laughter]
Tom: But Adrian's got balls, and without him it wouldn't be right. We're so lucky that the four of us are still the core group that we've always been.
So, Adrian has the balls. You? [to Tom]
Tom: What do I have?
Adrian: He has a vagina. [More laughter] Just kidding. You served that up.
I set 'em up, you knock 'em down.
Tom: We do all have really different personalities. Tony is a really thoughtful, conscientious person, you know, and Gwen is hyper-creative. Not hyper. Hyper-creative. She has amazing instincts. I don't know what I have. Ask them.
Adrian, what does he have?
Adrian: He's our dad.
Tom: I'm the dad. "Hey you kids!"
You're the responsible one?
Adrian: He's the real musician in the band.
Real musician?
Adrian: He knows the most.
Gwen: He knows how to break down a song and why it works and what's happening. We have no idea what's going on.
Tony: He'll go, "Okay, that note right there is the perfect note over a G diminished 7th chord," and we'll be like, "What?" and he'll be like, "That's why it sounds really good. That's why it feels so good." and we'll be like, "Okay!"
Gwen: Or he'll be like, "There's something off right there," and it's technically wrong, but we're like, "but it feels really good, so it can't be off," even though we don't know what's actually technically wrong with it, so it's kind of a nice balance, and at the end of the day once the songs are written, Adrian comes in and he always sounds like himself, so him sounding like himself makes us sound like ourselves, and so it all kind of comes together. I thought there'd be a lot more fighting at the end of this whole process, but it's weird, we were all on the same page about how we wanted it to sound, and it just was really weird. That's actually blowing my mind. I was actually looking forward to —
Tony: — maybe we were just so busy?
Gwen: Fighting?
Tony: No, with everything else, that there wasn't time to fight about it.
Gwen: Yeah.
Tony: It was just like, "Okay. Sounds great. Let's go!"
Gwen: I think by that point we'd kind of forgotten about what was going on. There's so much in the tracks, so I feel like that's sort of the way worked. I mean, it's different nowadays, because my roll, I think in the past, was always creative. I'd get the first idea for something, but this time, Tony came up with the idea for the video, which hasn't happened that many times before. Everything's kind of changing, and it's rad how everyone contributes.
Of course. If anything you guys are eclectic. That's the one word I'd use to describe you.
Tom: It's true. That's really true.
And this new record is so cohesive. I think that's a very difficult thing to accomplish, so congratulations.
Gwen: Thank you.
Adrian: That's interesting that you say cohesive, because stylistically the record is so broad.
It is broad, but listening to it all the way through, the elements all blend together.
Adrian: I'm glad to hear you say that.
Tony: No matter how fucked up, whatever we end up doing always ends up sounding like No Doubt.
Always, right?
Tony: If you put the four of us on a song, whatever kind of song we're trying to do, it always sounds like us.
Gwen: We try to be everyone else the whole time. We're like, "can't we just be The Cure today? Depeche Mode?" But we can't get away from ourselves. [Everyone laughs.]
Tom: The hard part is writing and recording the songs. It's coming up with something from nothing. I'm proud to be in a band with folks who really want it to be great. Everybody's been so awesome about working so hard to get there, not trying to rush it just to get an album out. Everybody had the same goal, which was let's make something we're proud of, and not half-ass it, and not mail it in. Now that we've done that, this is the easy part. The reward is to go out and perform. We just started rehearsing this week, and it feels so fun to be in that mode, and let's get these songs rockin' live.
The hard part's over now.
Tom: Yeah.

The news that the economy added just 148,000 jobs in September isn't great news -- but the news under the headline may be that, finally, the economy is creating the right kind of jobs.
First, the bad news. The job gains were 32,000 short of expectations, setting off a reflex rally in bond markets that points to expectations of the Federal Reserve extending monetary easing, setting bond mavens' hearts aflutter. Unemployment dropped to 7.2% from 7.3% in August.
The good news is that several sectors that are essential to the hopes for a 2014 recovery that makes a real difference in people's incomes and prospects did very well in September.
Topping that list is a gain of 20,000 construction jobs, for the first material gains in this huge, highly cyclical and very depressed sector of the economy. Construction job gains of 15,000 to 20,000 a month are essential to a recovery that generates 250,000 jobs a month overall. And this is the first month since February that it has happened in the Labor Department survey.
The department also reported 22,000 new government jobs, including state, federal and local workers. Governments are still down almost 800,000 workers from April 2009, compared with a gain of more than 2.1 million in the 1990s expansion. Whether government should grow as fast as the rest of the economy is a political question, settled by elections. But every recent U.S.recovery until this one has included some government employment growth. When this recovery looks more like past cycles, that is a good thing.
The numbers were also pretty good in areas like business services (though the predominance of temporary jobs there is something to watch), transportation and retailing. Car dealers and home improvement stores behaved as they should in an expansion, adding jobs last month.
The weak spots included manufacturing, which gained just 2,000 jobs, and restaurants and bars and hospitals, which showed slower or negative growth.
Slower growth in hospitals isn't bad news — it's the flip side of health-care cost containment that is one of the most beneficial, if poorly understood, trends in the economy. And the restaurants and bars have been growing strongly. For them to take a step back isn't that worrisome. If consumer confidence is strong enough to get people building more houses and buying more cars, the leisure business will fix itself.
Bottom line: 148,000 new jobs isn't awesome. But seeing a turn in construction and government employment — if they last — is a step toward turning this stop and start recovery into one that can drive unemployment toward 6% or even lower.

Voting has started in a week-long ballot to decide which of nine shortlisted Otley community projects will receive Town Council funding.
More than 40 schemes, ranging from commissioning a statue of Lizzie Armitstead to creating an Otley Tyre Playground, were suggested under the Voice Your Choice initiative.
Of those, a shortlist has been drawn up that includes providing better or improved facilities for groups like Otley Disability Action Group and Otley Town Football Club, hosting a First World War centenary exhibition next year, and starting a young people's music social club.
Councillor Austin Kelly (Lab, Ashfield) is encouraging as many residents as possible to vote for the schemes they would like to see backed by a pot of £5,000 council money.
He said: "We were overwhelmed by the response from the public, with around 40 very wide-ranging ideas suggested – and they came from all kinds of age ranges, from children to octogenarians.
"We couldn't take all of them forward to the shortlist but some of the others have made it into the council's agenda for the up and coming year, so it's been a very worthwhile venture for us.
"We certainly plan to run this again next year, with an increased budget of £10,000, and the Voice Your Choice system could be extended to cover other areas of council decision-making to make it a more democratic, and transparent, process."
Voting started yesterday and will continue until noon next Wednesday, January 30.
Funding for the projects will be allocated on a points system, with the highest-scoring scheme funded first, then the second, and so on until the £5,000 is depleted.
Ballot boxes have been installed around town including at the Town Council and Otley Action for Older People's offices, Sainsbury's and Asda supermarkets, and the schools (where they are for pupils and parents only). A ballot box will also be installed at The Buttercross from 10am to 12.30pm on Friday, January 25.
A web link giving more details about each of the shortlisted projects, and ballot box locations, can be found at otleytowncouncil.gov.uk.

by Nicholas Saulnier, E-Rep for HMM
Fellow men: you have been lied to. Purchasing a stick of deodorant will not make you awesome. Neither will large quantities of money. Manliness is not a product, my friends; it is a lifestyle. One does not save puppies from burning buildings unless one has made a habit of doing the extraordinary.
A true man isn't greedy. He measures the amount of food he takes from the dinner plate to ensure that there will still be plenty for his girlfriend's family. Later, he excuses himself from the table in order to save their city by calming the rampaging elephant two streets over with the sweet music of a handmade guitar. If he sees a homeless man, he doesn't give him a five; he gives him a five-dollar footlong and instructions for turning the wrapping around the sandwich into an origami sombrero. And when it comes to water, a true man only takes as much as he needs.
The Spartan Shower is a ritual that only the manliest of men engage in. The premise is simple: don't run the water when you don't need to. A Spartan Shower might look something like this (separated into short sentences to emphasize the manliness): Wet hair. Turn off water. Rub in shampoo. Turn on water. Rinse out shampoo. Wet washcloth and body. Turn off water. Soap up body with washcloth. Turn on water. Rinse off body. Turn off water. Say something that might lead a casual bystander to mistake you for James Bond. Dry off.
Why is the Spartan Shower manly? (A) It saves water. (B) Only sissy guys feel the need to soak in the shower every day until their skin prunes. Do you really want to feel "pampered" in the shower? (C) Women like men that smell like men, not men that smell like goats. You actually get cleaner when you turn off the water while applying the soap, because then you have the chance to rub the shampoo and soap in instead of having it wash off before it can do you any good. (D) The name sounds cool. (E) The less water we use, the more there is for others now and later – and there's nothing manlier than protecting the children of the future.
For special occasions, consider the Super Spartan. If it's the morning of the day you're going to finally ask her out, or if you have a job interview, or if that expensive-car-throwing contest is tomorrow and you need an extra shot of manliness, try this: Do a Spartan Shower… but do it with the water set all the way to "cold." You'll save electricity by bypassing the water heater, and you'll finish your shower in record time!
So men: consider this a challenge. There's a world waiting for you, a world of adventure, and romance, and yes, puppies too. All you need to do is turn that shower handle… Are you man enough?

UNION bosses in Worcestershire have revealed their pain over 1,500 job cuts at the county council - saying workers are "furious" and "in depression" about the massive changes ahead.
As your Worcester News revealed today, Worcestershire County Council is planning to hive off 85 per cent of its services by 2018 and dramatically shrink to its smallest ever size.
The move, which will leave just 2,000 in-house posts, was voted through during a tense full council meeting to signal its biggest structural change in history.
Jim Price, secretary of the council's Unison branch, said: "What's been so concerning to us is that the council has made it pretty clear that they want to privatise as many services as they can, even if it might not lead to savings.
"Only last week we heard that children going into care has gone up 22 per cent in five years, and the council themselves were citing poverty, the economy and homelessness as reasons.
"I don't see any joined up thinking, surely with these changes it will only make things worse.
"Staff are saying 'they don't want us any more', it's a time of massive uncertainty for them and more than half our members could be implicated.
"There is a palpable sense of anger and resentment, I would say people are furious but it's gone beyond that now, they are in depression.
"We will fight to save our jobs and services and keep them in-house.
"The worst option is that we see service closures, the least worst is that we can get agreements like staff co-operatives in place in some areas."
The council's Conservative leadership is focusing on finding new providers for as many services as possible that will take workers with them, mitigating at least some of the job losses.
That could mean the private sector but also other parties like charities, voluntary groups, not-for-profit organisations and new arms-length organisations.
The project is aimed at cutting the budget by around £100 million by 2018 in response to huge demographic pressures and reduced Government funding.
Members of the Conservative cabinet, who backed it on Thursday after opposition from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Green Party, say they are confident.
Councillor John Campion, cabinet member for commissioning and transformation, said: "I think the staff 'get' that this council is getting dramatically smaller, we are getting fewer resources and I see this as mitigating for those reductions.
"For me, it's about reform that will allow services to carry on in our communities that would otherwise cease to exist.
"It's an operating model which offers an alternative vision."

PHILADELPHIA – Penn heads out on its first Ivy League road trip of 2013 this weekend, making the short trip to New York City to take on Columbia at 7:30 p.m.
The Quakers (4-6-0, 1-0-0 Ivy) have won their last two matches, including a 1-0 win over defending Ivy League champion Cornell last Saturday. Columbia (5-2-1, 0-0-1 Ivy) is arguably one of the hottest clubs in the country, with a six-match unbeaten streak after two losses to commence the season.
The Ivy League's top two offenses will meet at the dedication of Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium in the Big Apple, with a combined 32 goals scored between the two sides. Penn's 17 goals are the most scored by any Ancient Eight team, with the Lions right behind with 15. Nationally, Penn's 17 goals scored rank the Quakers in the top 17% of all Division I teams.
Three players who are among a group tied for second in the Ivy League in goals scored will suit up Saturday night, each with four goals this season. Penn is led by Duke Lacroix and Sam Hayward, the latter leading all Ivy League rookies in scoring. For Columbia, David Najem has four goals – a new career high.
Each side has numerous secondary scoring options. Outside of the top duo of Lacroix and Hayward, the Quakers have had five different players score at least one goal this season. Stephen Baker, Alec Neumann and Louis Schott each have two goals this season, but all three have been held off the scoresheet since early September. Last week, senior captain Jonny Dolezal had the lone goal in Penn's 1-0 win over Cornell.
Dolezal has helped a defense which had its finest moment to date in 2013 against the Big Red last weekend. The Quakers held the Big Red off the scoreboard despite seven shots on goal, posting their third shutout of the season. Tyler Kinn and Max Polkinhorne has combined to make 52 saves and a .754 save percentage – Polkinhorne making 14 of those saves in his two starts last week.
Penn will be looking for its first win away from University City this season, entering the trip to NYC with an 0-3-0 mark in road contests. Each of those losses has come by one goal, and Penn held a lead in two while taking the third to overtime. Penn's last trip to Columbia resulted in a 3-2 win on 10/8/11. Christian Barreiro had the winning score in the game, sending in a Duke Lacroix pass with 44 seconds left in regulation to complete a wild Penn comeback. The Quakers trailed, 2-0, 7:15 into the match, but two Thomas Brandt goals before halftime catapulted the Red and Blue right back into the match.
All-time against the Lions, Penn is 32-29-5 entering the 67th meeting between the two clubs. Penn holds a 6-4-0 record in the last ten overall meetings.
After dropping a pair of matches to Creighton and Nebraska-Omaha during a swing through the Cornhusker State, the Lions have rattled off an unbeaten streak of six matches dating back to Sept. 14. Columbia has outscored its opponents, 14-4 over that run, posting five wins and a draw. The tie was Columbia's most recent match – a 2-2 draw with Brown to start Ivy League play. The Lions scored twice to erase an early Brown lead. Will Stamatis (29') and Andrew Tinari (38') had the equalizing goals for the Lions. Columbia is 3-1-0 on its home pitch this season.

CANNABIS worth over a quarter of a million pounds was seized from a house in Accrington on Tuesday.
The substantial quantity of drugs was found after police raided the Avenue Parade property.
The drugs, weighing around 150kg, are yet to be forensically tested but are believed to be cannabis resin.
Detective Inspector Mark Winstanley from Blackburn CID said: "This is a seizure of a huge amount of cannabis resin which is likely to have a significant street value.
"An investigation has been launched to find out where this cannabis has come from and how it was planned to be sold on.
"A lot of our information about drug-related activity does come from the public and I would urge them to continue to come forward and let us know of this type of activity."

THE number of disability-related hate crimes in Lancashire has seen a steady increase over the past five years.
The number has almost doubled, from 57 in 2010, to 109 in 2013.
In the month of January 2010 just one such crime was recorded, whereas that number had jumped to 12 by January 2014.
However, the increase could be down to increased reporting and recording of hate crime, rather than an actual increase in these types of crime.
Speaking about a similar rise in racially-motivated crime in Lancashire, Sylvia Lancaster, founder of the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, which encourages victims to report hate crimes to police, said: "I think it's a good thing, more people are recognising what a hate crime actually is. And when crimes are reported police have a better picture and are seeing them as hate crimes, and that's got to be a positive step."

Okay, this is somewhat of a personal issue for me, but I do find it annoying that users (mostly new ones) are changing nearly every mention of the "X"-Tails to their mentioned names for Son and Kurama. I get that we have their proper names now, but is that necessary? Skitts (talk) 01:53, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
I agree, not every instance of Nine-tails needs to be changed to Kurama.--Deva 27 01:59, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hi everyone--
When reflecting on my NFTE experiences this week, I couldn't help but entertain a few philosophical musings. Please indulge briefly, since I believe these highlight a unique facet of what we at NFTE do.
Despite all of the interconnectedness of our modern technological society, America is often a nation of fragmentation. It's the 99% v. the 1%; Unions v. corporations; Democrats v. Republicans; race v. race; religion v. religion—the list goes on. Especially in a city as large as New York, it's easy to forget that the 8 million people living here do collectively comprise a single community. Divisions are easy to spot, and instances of real unity between groups of people are often invisible. Yet one of the best things I've noticed about NFTE in the past few weeks is the program's ability to leverage human capital from a variety of sectors and bring them all together to grow not only businesses, but to grow capable, confident, and empowered young people.
I recently had the opportunity to attend extended sessions of NFTE's Startup Summer program, as well as our Generation Tech program. At each of these sessions, I (former teacher, current non-profit employee) had the opportunity to work with young people willing to commit their free time to business-related projects after school. I truly enjoyed working with such driven adolescents, but moreover, I became cognizant of the community of adults that NFTE has brought together to support these youths' endeavors.
Working diligently besides me at both Startup Summer and Generation Tech were teachers, NFTE staff, and volunteers from organizations such as Ernst and Young, Deloitte, the NYC Economic Development Corporation, the Varick Street Incubator at NYU Poly, and more. Each adult I saw had already finished a full day of work, and had come on his or her personal time to mentor high school students. Many arrived at the NFTE sessions still wearing professional dress. Regardless of their personal stressors, these adults from diverse settings all endured teenage distractedness or apathy with smiles, patience, and true caring, as they guided student work sessions. They dedicated several hours to supporting NFTE students, earning only snack food or pizza as a reward.
Looking back on these events, it strikes me that NFTE has provided a unique platform for adults as well as children. It is not often that people of all races, socio-economic backgrounds, political leanings, and professions come together, united to pursue a single goal. In this way, NFTE provides something more than the entrepreneurship programs we espouse. We are a conduit for community in a world of dividers.
I am proud to be a part of the NFTE movement.

An elderly cat has been found wandering around away from his home and the RSPCA wants to trace his owners.
The black and white moggy, nicknamed Edwin by RSPCA staff, was found in a garden in the Avenue in Worcester Park on Friday, June 20.
Vets believe Edwin is elderly but is in good health and they think he may be suffering from cat senility that led to him getting lost.
RSPCA inspector Natasha Wells said: "Edwin is such a sweet natured cat and we're sure he has been and is loved. He likes a cuddle and a bit of fuss, and I have a feeling there's an owner out there missing him.
"He's not as young as he once was and has some age-related health problems so could well have lost his way due to being a bit senile, which can happen in older cats.
"Perhaps he went on a wander and forgot his bus pass so couldn't get back!
"He's still full of beans and has got a few years left in him though so we would love to reunite him to his owner if we can.
"But we have put posters up and used our usual methods and there is still no clue to where he has come from."
Older cats can suffer senility similar to Alzheimers. Symptoms include the animal becoming confused in unfamiliar surroundings.
If Edwin is your cat or you recognise him, you can call the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.

(AP) EUGENE, Ore. - Ashton Eaton broke the world record in the decathlon Saturday, finishing with 9,039 points at the U.S. Olympic trials to beat the Roman Sebrle's 11-year-old mark by 13 points.
Eaton, the 24-year-old from Bend, Ore., needed a time of 4 minutes, 16.37 seconds in the finale, the 1,500 meters, to break the mark. He finished in 4:14.48.
Eaton opened the decathlon Friday with world-best marks for the decathlon in the 100 and long jump. He stayed in striking range of Sebrle's world record of 9,026 points throughout Day 2.

Chennai, Sep 17 (IANS) Director Naveen doesn't want to solely take credit for the success of his recently released Tamil directorial debut "Moodar Koodam" as he feels it belongs to all those who had invested faith and money in his film.
"I can't take credit for the film's success because most of the money that has gone in to the project had come from different sources. My sister pawned her jewels and gave me money. My roommate invested his years of savings in the film. Several of my friends lent me some money," Naveen told IANS.
"I'm thankful to my cast as well. Most of them worked free of cost, while other senior artists slashed their pay just to help me finish the film. Everybody worked passionately because they believed in the script as well as me," he added.
"Moodar Koodam", a dark comedy about a bunch of fools who attempt to pull off a robbery, released in cinemas Sep 13.
"The film has broken even thanks to positive word of mouth from the audiences. The A centre (big cities) audience has lapped up the film for its full-length comedy, while audiences in B and C centres (smaller cities) have been watching just because they have to watch a film during the weekend," said Naveen.
Naveen has been getting calls from other actors since the movie's release.
"Some actors have already called me to work with them, but I want get done with 'Moodar Koodam' first before I start working on my next project. I haven't decided what genre I will make my next film in, but I'm keen to try out different genres," he added.

The Air New Zealand Board has agreed upon a test to assess each of its directors against specific criteria to determine whether they are in a position to exercise independent judgement. For details, see the Board Charter document above.
An independent director is one whom the Board affirmatively determines has no material relationship with Air New Zealand (either directly or as a partner, a substantial security holder or officer of an organisation that has a relationship with the Company) that could reasonably influence their judgement and decision making as a director. Directors are required to notify the Board of all relevant information which may affect their independence.
A majority of directors of Air New Zealand's Board and Audit Committee are independent directors, including the Chairman.
The Board is responsible for nominating members to the Board and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings. In considering potential directors to commend to shareholders, the Board seeks to identify candidates with appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to contribute to effective direction of the Company, who can exercise an independent and informed judgement on matters which come to the Board and who are free of any business or other relationship that may interfere with the exercise of that individual judgement.
The Chairman and Deputy Chairman are selected by the full Board.

Final whistle. Rebels 30 Force 23.
So, in the end, the Rebels were too strong at home for the Force. Despite a slow start, they picked up and scored points with ease. Beale and O'Connor played second fiddle to Phipps and Pyle who were the picks of the dark blues.
The Force showed plenty of heart, especially with two men down. They showed great composure on the ball, and were a little hard-done-by with the two yellows.
My man of the match was Alfie Mafie. He made 12 runs, for a total of 65 metres, and picked up two very well-taken tries.
An excellent start to the Super Rugby season, with plenty of positives for both sides to take into Round 2. Another very tight game between these great rivals. Six tries eh? Can't complain - see you for the next one!
Crossfield bomb from Sias Ebersohn. It wasn't high enough and was easy pickings for the mark. He hasn't been great since he came on, and has made some pretty strange decisions. He's a decent prospect, but will need time to settle in Australia.
Nope, they can't. The Rebels take it cleanly and will just see out the clock. O'Connor kicks it long, but not at a great angle, and it's a lineout to the Force on the 22m line. Handy position. They need to get it wide.
Attacking scrum for the Rebels, and they've butchered it as Phipps refuses to use the ball. The Force have one more chance here. They need a converted try to tie things up. It's a big ask. Especially as they have just kicked the ball out. They have got to keep possession if they want points. Unless they can pinch the lineout....
Tired there from the Force, lying on the ground again, slowing the ball down. This time, Delve points to the posts, and James O'Connor takes another easy three from a fairly simple angle. The Rebels lead 30-23. The Force could ship another seven here I reckon, they are looking exhausted. Time for some Beale magic?
Back to top
So, we're all set up for a blockbuster final ten minutes in this Super Rugby season opener. The Rebels are in a great position with a lineout, but the Force have pinched another! What a turnaround. Big waste from the Rebels there, who opted to kick for the corner from a pen rather than take the points. Will they regret that? Probably not, to be honest.
Godwin ate the conversion up. A good display from the link-up man, although he will rue a couple of missed ones in the first half - especially if this one remain tight.
Richard Brown goes over for a rare try off the back of a good lineout. Great control from the Force, who go in under the posts with 14 men on the field. Amazing stuff. Rebels 27 Force 23.
Unbelievably, the Force are on the attack - and making progress. Huge ticker from the visitors, they are 2 men down, and into the hardest period of the match. They'll take some scalps this year if they can keep their discipline and, more importantly, their key men fit. To be fair, even their lineout has been sharper in the second half. Good signs, Force fans.
Pek Cowan is heading off after taking a knock. He is huge for the Force, they'll be hoping he's ok to travel to South Africa for the next round. A typically barnstorming display from the big man. Irreplaceable.Back to top
And James O'Connor adds two more. His kicking off the tee has been impeccable. His kicking from hand, not so much.
Inevitable. Huge space out wide, and Richard Kingi goes over in the corner with a swan dive Chris Ashton would have been proud of. Kurtley Beale drew the man, the ball went wide and it was all too easy. No way back for the visitors here. The Rebels will now be eyeing up a bonus point. The Rebels' fans have forgiven the atrocities of the first halfhour.
Pyle almost goes over for a second, but falls centimetres short. It's gone forward, but there was an advantage being played, and the Rebels will have another chance. The ref is having a word with the Force for spoiling. AND IT'S ANOTHER YELLOW. The Force are down to 13. Oh deary me. Harsh. That was handbags.
Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor combine in midfield, with the fullback running on to an excellent flat pass at speed. He almost makes a break but is dragged back. Attacking lineout to the Rebels on the Force 22m. They win it with ease, pick and go, and it's only a matter of time before they go over. Held up by the Force! Great defence from the defending side, especially with a man down. Five metre scrum to the Rebels. They need to be patient here. The try is inevitable if they steady themselves.
Pat Dellit has gone over in the corner, but it's called back for a forward pass. Shame, he's had a quiet game but that was a lovely finish. Trouble here for the Force, with Alcock getting binned for a scuffle on the ground. I jinxed him. He HAD been fantastic. That was a brain explosion and will cost the Force any chance they had in this game. Not a good time to go one down.Back to top
Alcock has been a revelation for the Western Force. He's carried the ball well, and is making an absolute nuisance of himself up front. He will bring a lot to this Force pack in 2013 and make the loss of Pocock less hefty.
Absolutely breathless stuff here. Even O'Connor is feeling it, sucking in big gulps. There are a couple of players down with cramp. It's a battlefield out there. Time for changes methinks.
Coach-killer from Christie, the Force No.10 trying to kick for territory, but finding touch on the full. They'll come right back deep into the Force half for a lineout to the Rebels. And incredibly, the Force have pinched one. Now there's a turn-up for the books.
End to end stuff here, with the Rebels pouring upfield off the back of a trademark Beale intercept. Penalty to Melbourne in front of the posts. Bread and butter for the Wallaby with the horrible braids. He is having them shaved for charity, so this will be the last we see of that awful 'do. Rebels 20-Force 16.
Aargh. Why didn't I put Alfie Mafi in my fantasy team? The Force go wide from a central scrum, and good holdup play from Christie sees Mafi able to cruise past Sidey on the outside. Excellent execution of a planned move from the Perth outfit. Godwin can't add the extras. Mafi's second try brings the Force back within a point. We've been here before. Rebels 17 Force 16.
