[18:02] <io_error> We were supposed to propose a topic?
[18:03] <photomatt_wrk> go for it
[18:03] <io_error> Hm, more hooks for 1.6?
[18:03] <Podz> there's nothing really from the forums. Two suggestions I did make to the list though:
[18:03] <Podz> - a 'backticks' button ?
[18:03] <io_error> zedrdave would like a hook that's called when a plugin is activated.
[18:03] <Podz> - and search really does need looking at
[18:03] * io_error agrees
[18:04] <PotterSys> sorry for ask this now, but how much did I lost?
[18:04] <io_error> PotterSys: nothing
[18:04] <photomatt_wrk> okay
[18:04] <photomatt_wrk> i'm trying to avoid typing much
[18:04] <PotterSys> io_error: thanks :)
[18:05] <photomatt_wrk> hooks should go in trac, they're almost always approved
[18:06] <photomatt_wrk> Podz, could you expand?
[18:06] <io_error> error_bot: newticket
[18:06] <error_bot> io_error: TracBot does not have a tracBase defined for this channel
[18:06] <io_error> errr
[18:06] <Podz> a backticks or [code] type button that really does display true code. We get some weird breakages
[18:07] <Podz> it can take several posts just to get it right from people which slows their help and annoys them
[18:07] <Podz> some tags also will break the ` currently if they aren't correct
[18:08] <photomatt_wrk> hmm
[18:08] <Podz> so a nifty button would be nice :)
[18:08] <photomatt_wrk> can we encourage code to go someplace else?
[18:08] <photomatt_wrk> the forums don't really fit large codes
[18:08] <Podz> but code in the forums is in come way a resource
[18:08] <Podz> come=some
[18:10] <photomatt_wrk> k
[18:10] <photomatt_wrk> added to bbpress todo
[18:10] <Podz> no biggie, but it would be a nice addition if it came along
[18:10] <photomatt_wrk> agreed
[18:12] <io_error> error_bot: ticket 1752
[18:12] <error_bot> io_error: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1752
[18:12] <io_error> thank you
[18:13] <photomatt_wrk> cool
[18:14] <io_error> I knew that bot would be useful someday.
[18:14] <skeltoac> io_error: http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-admin/plugins.php has it already
[18:15] <io_error> skeltoac: oh, nice, it's activate_ plus the plugin name
[18:15] <io_error> sweet
[18:15] <photomatt_wrk> :)
[18:16] <io_error> is it the plugin name, or the plugin filename?
[18:16] <skeltoac> I think it's the filename
[18:17] <io_error> that should work.
[18:17] <io_error> when was that added?
[18:18] <skeltoac> 10/5 I guess
[18:18] <io_error> hm, okay
[18:18] <skeltoac> I think there's a fatal error in there somewhere. I remember submitting a patch but it doesn't look like it's been committed. I'll check with rboren.
[18:20] <photomatt_wrk> sounds good
[18:20] <photomatt_wrk> any other topics to cover?
[18:20] <io_error> I have one more question: just how stable is 1.6 right now?
[18:21] <photomatt_wrk> i should be able to type better next week so we can cover more
[18:21] <photomatt_wrk> io_error: 85%
[18:21] <io_error> hm, okay, I'll start playing with a test blog, I think
[18:21] * io_error runs out of topics
[18:22] <skeltoac> Has anyone else been hammered by friends and family for a spell checker?
[18:23] <photomatt_wrk> yes
[18:23] <geeksmakemehot> I'd love a good spell checker :)
[18:23] <skeltoac> Well, one friend and one family member, but they're persistent :)
[18:23] <geeksmakemehot> I can't sepell vry gud
[18:24] <skeltoac> I think TinyMCE has something but I wonder if it's worth making available in WP.
[18:25] <io_error> I can spell, but my keyboard conspires against me.
[18:25] <photomatt_wrk> the usually require pspell
[18:26] <io_error> PHP has support for aspell and pspell, it seems
[18:27] <skeltoac> IIRC, TinyMCE has a dictionary checker that's entirely JS. It would be heavy, so it should probably not be included by default.
[18:27] <photomatt_wrk> firas was working on spelling I think
[18:28] <io_error> photomatt_wrk: yeah, he was, and his demo bot is offline
[18:28] <photomatt_wrk> maybe ask on wp-hackers?
[18:30] * Joins: stevecooley
[18:31] <io_error> OK, so it's agreed, people who are late to meetups should be forced to use movable type for a week ;)
[18:31] <photomatt_wrk> heh
[18:31] <Podz> a week ? no time to blog then :)
[18:31] <geeksmakemehot> Naw, just forced to install it :)

Cell Phone Helps Authorities Track Down Highland County Escapee
Deputies tracked down a man who escaped from the Highland County Jail.
Gerald Lee Fletcher escaped from the jail while on kitchen detail on Nov. 12.
Fletcher and another inmate, Robert Wayne Gibson, escaped from the jail while taking trash to the dumpster.
A tip led investigators to find Gibson a short time after the escape.
Authorities used GPS coordinates from a cell phone obtained by Fletcher to track the man down in Springfield. He was taken into custody and is awaiting extradition back to Highland County.
Fletcher was being held on a probation violation. He was originally charged for purchasing pseudophed in excess of the legal limit.
Escape charges against Gibson were pending.

With this web site we would like to provide you with the information about the why and how.
It boils down to the quality of our tap water, which is continuously threatened by bacteria and dissolved pollutants. The danger to catch an infection by Legionella bacteria in public showers for instance is for example, a topical and global problem.
Using an array of proven technologies, unpleasant tastes and smells are removed and the water is purified of bacteria, viruses and dissolved chemical pollution.

I was always around animals growing up. Dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, frogs, turtles, tortoises. I can ride horses but just for fun. I always liked to go camping but never was able to go out as often as I would have liked. I'm still happy to go on hikes or just walk around town and explore things.
Born in California, moved to Missouri before I could remember, then back to California when I was still a kid. I've been out in PA for a few years at this point, but it definitely doesn't feel that long to me. Adapting to the winter was probably the easiest thing to much to the surprise of my coworkers. I actually love the winters. Bring on the snow and the cold!
Movies: I don't make it out to the theaters nearly often enough. But I'm usually pretty open to try out most things. I tend to stay away from horror though, never really my thing.
Shows: I don't watch too much TV, but I keep up with one or two shows. Scrubs is one of my favorites.

by Fernanda Eberstadt
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Main character of this book is a teenage girl living in the Pyrenees-Orientales area of France - sort of on the Mediterranean, near the border w/Spain. Her family existence is a few steps above hand-to-mouth, but her father, who she's never met is the son of an English celebrity model a la Twiggy. I found the world that the story takes place in to be the most intriguing part of the story.
Whether she's trying to coax her father out of his unease, sticking up for her mournful brother, or lending a hand to her well-meaning mess of a mother, the ballsy, resourceful Rat is a kind of Neal Cassady of the autoroute; and Eberstadt elegantly moves her through very different social milieux, from the flea markets of down-and-out rural France to the artsy -upper middle class of London, with a sympathy for her character that avoids both the condescension and the romance that plague so much writing about teenagers.
It's a long way from Park Avenue: the beautiful, desolate, casually despoiled landscape of the Pyrénées-Orientales in southernmost France, where Fernanda Eberstadt moved with her husband and children in 1998 and where she has set her latest novel....
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307271838, Hardcover)Of The Furies, Fernanda Eberstadt's last novel, Alexandra Jacobs wrote in the New York Observer that it "veers pretty close to genius . . . Eberstadt is an expert, sensual, and at times truly breathtaking conjurer of New York City." With Rat, Eberstadt has found a new setting she knows well, the South of France, and the story she tells is original, powerful, and heartrending—about a child's search for a father she has never known.
Rat is fifteen-year-old Celia Bonnet, who lives with her unmarried mother, Vanessa, a free-spirited local beauty, in a farmhouse compound with other single-parent families in the Pyrénées Orientales, a gorgeous but forlorn Mediterranean no-man's-land just north of the Spanish Catalan border. Rat is the result of a one-night encounter between Vanessa and Gillem, the son of a London model from the 1960s, who used to spend summers in the area and whom Rat has never spoken to or met. But when Vanessa's current boyfriend starts preying on Morgan, the orphaned nine-year-old who is Rat's adopted brother, she decides to take Morgan and run away to her father in London. As the novel unfolds, the two children undertake a difficult journey to find the man who might finally explain to Rat who she is and where she belongs.
This is an enthralling novel with a luminous sense of place—both physical and emotional—and, at its core, a bold, engaging young heroine for our times.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:13:57 -0400)
Growing up in a Mediterranean farmhouse with her free-spirited mother and other single-parent families, Celia flees with a boy who has been targeted by her mother's latest boyfriend and searches for the father she has never met.

Coaching is no more important on any level than it is in high school, and Aliquippa football coach Mike Zmijanic indicated as much after his team's 27-12 loss to Class AA rival Beaver Falls on Thursday night.
With the game still in the balance in the fourth quarter and Aliquippa sitting with a first down at the Beaver Falls 7, the Quips insisted on running into the teeth of a stout defense — four consecutive times.
That defense is led by Division I prospect Todd Thomas, a broad-shouldered safety/linebacker who has offers from Pitt and Michigan. The result was predictable. Aliquippa couldn't score and turned the ball over on downs, handing the keys to the Class AA Midwestern Conference kingdom to Beaver Falls.
With Thomas and other Beaver Falls linebackers and defensive backs attacking the line of scrimmage, a pass might have been in order on at least one of those downs. Later, Zmijanic said, "It's all a matter of coaching or uncoaching. Absolutely unimaginable lack of organization by the coaching staff."
That's as strong a self-indictment as you ever will hear from a high school coach, but Zmijanic is being too tough on himself.
It's difficult to imagine a problem at Aliquippa, given Zmijanic's success (a 114-21 record since 1997). Here's betting he gets whatever it is fixed before the end of the month.
Don't be surprised if Beaver Falls and Aliquippa meet again.
- In any event, Beaver Falls, the runnerup to Jeannette last year in Class AA, has the team to challenge the two-time defending WPIAL champion Jayhawks, who have recorded three shutouts while scoring 129 points this season. Beaver Falls' Cody Cook ran 18 times for 182 yards and two touchdowns and Thomas was 4 short of 100 on 12 carries. Don't forget Aliquippa's Terry Patrick (15 for 132, including the 89-yard run that put the ball at the 7).
- Pitt sent three coaches to the game, including offensive coordinator Matt Cavanaugh, wide receivers coach Bryan Bossard and assistant head coach/defensive line coach Greg Gattuso. Before the game, Bossard spent the day at Beaver Falls and Gattuso was roaming the halls of Aliquippa.
- Seneca Valley senior wide receiver Matt Plautz has many Mid-American Conference coaches scribbling his name in their files, but word is he doesn't want to wander too far from home after graduation. Pitt might be interested, especially after Plautz ran a 4.75-second 40-yard dash at Pitt's camp over the summer. There are some people who are comparing Plautz, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, to Pitt freshman wide receiver Mike Shanahan of Norwin. Shanahan, 6-5, 220, ran a 4.77 before Pitt offered him a scholarship. More important than Plautz's speed is his production. He is leading the WPIAL with 24 receptions for 435 yards in only three games. His quarterback, C.J. Brown, already has thrown for 874 yards, completing 60 of 92 passes. Brown has 1,093 total yards, including 219 on the ground and six touchdowns. He also has thrown for six scores.
- Woodland Hills will be without junior defensive end Richard Gray, 6-2, 250, for a game or two after he had arthroscopic knee surgery recently. Gray delayed the surgery until after Woodland Hills played Justin Northwest Aug. 30 at Texas Stadium in Dallas.
- Running back Dom Timbers, who started as a freshman at Central Catholic two years ago and sat out last season wilth a knee injury, is attending Woodland Hills and will become academically eligible in time for the sixth game of the season, at Kiski Area, according to coach George Novak.

Portlandia – Mixology
Last Friday brought the season premiere of Portlandia's second season. After a critically acclaimed first season, which resulted in it making a lot of year-end top 10 lists, the expectations are a lot higher than they were a season ago. Here's a bit by bit breakdown of the episode.
Here's the synopsis from IFC.com
Local artisan curators Lisa and Bryce realize that they can pickle everything; Fred helps Carrie chase a romantic mixologist (Andy Samberg) who forgets his roots when he moves from Portland to LA; Fred and Carrie stop to eat at a theme restaurant with a difficult waiter (Kumail Nanjiani); Kath and Dave's emergency signals are tested when they go river rafting; Feminist shopkeepers Toni and Candice teach an A/C repairman about the "phallus" and "opposite of a phallus" inside all of us.
- "We can pickle that" – Kind of crazy how random the stuff they decide to pickle is, and it's funny when they try to eat inedible things that they pickled.
- Andy Samberg as a mixologist is very funny. He made a drink with 'charred ice'. Carrie later goes on a 'quest' to Southern California to give him a mix tape she made for him. It's the 'main story' of the show, and it works really well.
- They try to go rafting on a river people are tubing on and are WAY too serious about it. "A.O. RIVER!" It's kind of flat, but quirky in the weird way that this show is so good at.
- Around the World in 80 plates reminded me of shitty restaurants with huge nonsensical menus. And why do certain restaurants have menus that only have food options for certain times? This works so well because it's very true and you can relate to it. If you own a restaurant call your food by normal names and have everything available at all times. If you want to charge different prices that's fine, but have the same items.
- The feminine book store thing is kind of annoying and not very funny. Well, except for the part about the phallus.
- Parents of the kid getting petition signatures going to a non-signer's house is funny. It's so weird, but its success lies in its repetition.

If you've been to Vegas, you know the city always seems to energize people. It's the type of place your buddy who dozes off during World Series games stays up 'til 7 a.m.
Well, the City of Sin has finally brought a little excitement to an otherwise chilly beginning to the hot stove season. According to several reports, the Mets made an offer of three years to Francisco Rodriguez and met with the reps for Trevor Hoffman and Brian Fuentes. And Kerry Wood is on the agenda.
It'll be interesting if the Mets give truth to the theory that they will offer K-Rod, Fuentes and Wood and then sign whoever accepts a deal first. That's risky business for K-Rod, who will want a better offer but has to fear the market. He wants money and the Mets have the most moolah to offer. Essentially, K-Rod — and to a lesser extent Fuentes and Wood — will be playing a high-stakes game of poker with Omar Minaya. Except even the World Series of Poker doesn't have hands worth between $20-40 million
Anyway, Minaya is scheduled to meet the media soon. Our man Peter Abraham is in Vegas capturing the action, so check out his Yankee blog for the latest news around baseball. I know it's a Yankee blog, but Peter is there to cover all the news. Every little piece of the puzzle has an impact on teams in the hunt like the Mets.

Hong Kong • Australian shares rose Monday after a report indicated China's economic slowdown has bottomed out, but other global stock markets were mixed as concerns about widening turmoil in Iraq weighed on investor sentiment.
HSBC's preliminary purchasing managers' index showed activity in China's huge manufacturing sector expanded for the first time this year, a sign that the effects of recent mini-stimulus measures unleashed by Beijing to boost growth were filtering through the economy.
Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.6 percent to close at 5,453.30 and the country's currency strengthened. Investors are hoping an improving Chinese economy will benefit big mining companies in Australia, where the resource-driven economy has become highly dependent on China's demand for commodities such as iron ore.

12 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun...Good for hunting
What do you think?Is it a good or bad gun for hunting?In my opinion its a good gun,just needs to carry more ammo.
It would be good for hunting if you give it a try.I don't ow one,but I had tried one while hunting deer.
Used to hunt duck and phesant with 12 ga. auto and over and under. I perferred the over and under double barrel as it had modified cylinder choke on one barrel and full choke on the other. Also, IMO, the heavier front end of a double barrel lends itself to a smoother swing for follow through on moving targets in flight.
One of my most prized firearms is a cheap Brazilian sxs 12. My lady bought it for me as a 1st anniversary present.
FWIW, while I HAVE picked up doubles when shooting doves, I RARELY see anyone get a deer with the 3rd shot. If #1 and #2 fail to do the job, the strange sound you hear is Bambi laughing at you.
I DO like the way a double swings. I have never felt undergunned- and just a thought- but a broken firing pin, mainspring, extractor, etc etc is not as important when there is another perfectly functional set right next to the bad one.
For intimidation, from the front it DOES cause one to wonder if a truck is gonna come outa that tunnel?
SXS barrels often aren't regulated on cheaper guns. You'll need to find out how each barrel shoots and compensate for it. +1 on what c3 said, if you dont get it with two shots fuggetaboutit
Where ya been? All is well?

Wilson man charged in credit union robbery
Posted July 11, 2014
Wilson, N.C. — Police said Friday that a Wilson man has been arrested in connection with a Monday robbery of a State Employees Credit Union branch.
Antonio D. Pitt, 20, of 906 Lakeside Drive, was charged with armed robbery and was being held in the Wilson County jail under a $500,000 bond.
Pitt was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop on Interstate 95 in Nash County, police said. The Wilson Police Department, Nash County Sheriff's Office, the State Highway Patrol and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force assisted in the arrest.
A man walked into the credit union at 3990 Ward Blvd. Monday morning, displayed a weapon and demanded money. A wig he was wearing fell off during the robbery, and he fled the area on a bicycle.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Wilson police at 252-399-2323 or Crime Stoppers at 252-243-2255.

THERE are two shining examples this week of where groups of local people have attempted to take control of matters affecting their communities and put into place action plans to improve them.
A year ago South Lakeland District Council, concerned about what it saw as health and safety risks caused by a proliferation of A-boards on Kendal's pavements, sent out around 120 letters to shops warning they could face prosecution and fines if they were not removed.
Some traders saw that as a heavy-handed approach and soon retailers - struggling to attract customers in the midst of a recession - were meeting to try to find a different way forward.
The result is a voluntary code of conduct, developed by the Chamber of Commerce and shopkeepers, which involves retailers signing up to 15 general conditions to properly manage A-boards and where they are placed.
It also means that, should someone break the rules, another trader would be expected to walk across the street and tell them that they could face action from the council. Not everyone is happy about the code and it is to be hoped traders respond positively if fellow shopkeepers enter their premises to point out any indiscretions!
Meanwhile, the future of local public toilets is looking much rosier than a couple of years ago when South Lakeland District Council planned to close 29 of the 39 loos in the area to save money. Local parish councils and other community groups came to the rescue and took on all but one of the 39. Many have now been refurbished and, indeed, four new ones have opened.
There are still some challenges, including concerns over business rates that parish councils have to pay on their loos.
Both the A-board code and the public toilets changes could be seen as successful examples of what Prime Minister David Cameron called 'The Big Society'.
Some felt this concept was a way for public bodies to make cuts and simply pass on responsibilities to local people to run traditional council services instead. Whichever way you look at it, however, local communities have clearly responded to challenges in South Lakeland and are to be commended for doing so.

Method, creativity and CIALs
CIALs (Committees For Local Agricultural Research) are community level organisations for helping agricultural scientists and farmers to collaborate on adaptive research. Although CIALs have been used mainly for testing new crops and varieties, an unorthodox project in Peru and Bolivia recently used CIALs with a range of research techniques: formal trials, participatory research and farmers' own experiments. It is also combining CIALs with farmer field schools (FFS). The result is many new, chemical free technologies for managing an introduced disease that is difficult to observe and hard to manage.

Lily Allen Is Pregnant, Her Rep Issues a Statement
Pregnant Lily Allen and Boyfriend Ed Emerge Smiling
Yesterday's far less shocking newly pregnant celebrity, Lily Allen, was spotted out shopping with her boyfriend Ed Simons in London today looking happy as can be with the whole world knowing their news. The couple has only been together since September and clearly aren't wasting any time with things. Instead of selling their tell-all interview to a magazine, however, Lily's rep issued a statement. It said:
"I am pleased to confirm that Lily Allen and her boyfriend Ed Simons are expecting their first child. However, as the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy, as the health of Lily and their child is their paramount concern. As the pregnancy is at such an early stage the couple will be making no further comment but they are obviously both thrilled by the news. Lily's new album will be released as planned next year."
Gotta love the album plug at the end there. I guess it's time to issue a congratulations to the happy couple? With there already being rumors and photos of her smoking recently, hopefully everything with the pregnancy goes along smoothly. Hey, knowing how open Lily is on her blog, I'm sure she'll be telling the world all about it and exactly how it's making her feel.

No one in the Australian media saw the point in raising issues about Iraq and the second Gulf War, or Zimbabwe, or North Korea. Little wonder that officials at the Australian High Commission in London were reported as having expressed irritation at the evident insularity of the Australians.
The media's stance has been defended by Mark Riley in the Herald, presenting the journalists' choice as asking tough questions about Hollingworth or delivering "high-sugar, low-protein drivel about Howard's postwar victory lap of the world". This overlooks that it is possible to raise questions about the Middle East, the Korean peninsula, Africa and more, that are neither "high-sugar" nor "low-protein".
The Hollingworth affair warrants wide-scale media attention and is a matter of genuine public interest. Even so, the role of the governor-general is essentially a symbolic post. Certainly, on rare occasions, the incumbent has to make an important constitutional decision. Yet this has happened only once in the last century when, in 1975, Sir John Kerr dismissed the Whitlam government - a crisis initiated by politicians, by Malcolm Fraser who blocked supply and by Gough Whitlam who wanted to govern without supply. Such an event is unlikely to recur - certainly not during Hollingworth's tenure.
The essential problem with the Hollingworth appointment turned on his background as a religious leader. This made due diligence of Howard's choice all but impossible, unlike such areas as politics, the judiciary, universities and the military from which governors-general had traditionally been chosen.
As the British conservative commentator Lord St John Fawsley - who has close connections with Buckingham Palace - said last year, it was most unwise for Howard to appoint an archbishop as governor-general. Then, when controversy broke concerning Hollingworth's previous life as the Anglican archbishop of Brisbane, he stumbled badly in handling the issue. It has been downhill since.
It comes as no surprise that journalists are interested in the comings and goings at Yarralumla. However, press gallery members on foreign shores should recognise that there are bigger - and genuinely important - stories around, such as the Middle East after the Gulf War - to mention just one.
This is not the first occasion where members of the press gallery have been unduly insular during an international crisis. Shortly after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre on September 11, Howard, who was in the US then, began a media conference at the Willard Hotel in Washington.
As Howard has acknowledged, when the media conference began, he knew that what had happened in New York City was "something much more horrific" than an "accident". So did the journalists present.
That conference began with four questions on the attacks. Then members of the press gallery asked - and Howard answered - 31 questions on the Tampa incident in particular and, more generally, on asylum seekers attempting to enter Australia. There followed four questions on the collapse of Ansett Airlines. It was wall-to-wall insularity.
At a door-stop interview in Canberra last Friday, General Peter Cosgrove was asked for his views on Hollingworth. The Chief of the Defence Force, understandably angry, told the journalists involved that the question was "inappropriate" and added: "You should not be asking me those sorts of questions."
Quite so. Cosgrove is unlikely to give a news-breaking answer on a politically sensitive issue. Moreover, he has more important issues on his mind than the fate of a governor-general who has de-authorised the office. The war against terrorism and the second Gulf War will still be remembered when Hollingworth is but a footnote in Australian history - even if he did excite, for a moment at least, the Canberra press gallery.

Hey guys,
We.re planning a trip to Asia this summer, flying in and out of Kuala Lumper. We have a month roughly starting on the 24th July.
Sumatra has taken our eye and we are looking for advice on what is 'not to be missed'. Places like Danau Toba, and Mentawi Islands have been mentioned to us previously. Our only time restraint is that we need to be in Bali on the 9th August.
We would love some suggestions/advice!!!!

SEAN Dyche has called for the Clarets to show their consistency credentials by backing up his first win as Burnley boss.
The 41-year-old (pictured) celebrated kicking off his Turf Moor reign beginning life as Burnley boss with three points against Wolves, thanks to goals from Martin Paterson and top scorer Charlie Austin in either half.
In addition the Clarets be-came only the second teamthis season to prevent Stale Solbakken's men from scoring.
And Dyche has called for at least the same level of performance when they line up for the second of three games in his first full week at the helm, against Leeds United tomorrow.
"I've immediately thrown down the challenge again – another game Tuesday, another game Saturday. It's relentless in the Championship, but everyone knows that," said Dyche.
"So as much as we're delighted, and I'm really pleased with the players' application, the next one comes around pretty quick. So I said we enjoy it, we relax, we recover and then we're ready to go again."
Of the win, he added: "It was a little bit fraught at the end, they were throwing everything in there by that stage. But it is a great feeling.
"The biggest thing I play for is to win. I played like that as a player.
"Sometimes you have to do it by hook or crook, which we probably did second half, but that's a quality that can't be underestimated – that ability to win a game when it's not quite going right for you."
Dyche added: "I think a clean sheet is important and gives everyone a good mentality to build on.
"The defenders have spoken about it. The back four were excellent at times. There are still little things that need tidying up but in general they were excellent.
"The whole team have taken to what we've offered them in a very short space of time and second half in particular delivered the things that arguably people were questioning."
Dyche was referring, in particular, to Burnley's defensive record.
Before the weekend games the Clarets had conceded the most goals in the Championship.
"I think the lads have been very receptive, and they've been open," Dyche said. "I believe in honesty and respect and they've shown that in abundance.
"The balance has still got to be correct in order to play well and win, as in exciting and causing the opposition trouble, but then there's real framework so that if it's not your day to be great you can still win."

This year has been fantastic! In this grade, an important part of our life is closed.
It has been full of surprises:
We had new classmates, like Claudia, Damian or Pablo.
We also had to say goodbye to some other friends.
We had done a lot of projects for our teachers in Maths, Science, English or Music.
On Mondays some children went to the street market to sell our handcrafts.
We visited the Albaizin and the Alhambra. It was great!
But the best of all was the prom trip. We will never forget this experience.
Now we start a new time in our lives. We go to secondary school.
We want to say thank you to all of you, teachers and families, just to be there, to be here, as a part of our education. You always will be in our hearts.
So let's not say bye bye, just a 'see you'.
Letter by 6th grade students at San Miguel school (2015-2016)

ROAD TEST: Volvo S60 D5 Elite
If you go a bit crazy on the options list, the latest Volvo S60 can be full of surprises.
Almost two hours into a road trip on the N3, a small graphic showing a cup of coffee popped onto the instrument cluster.
"Wouldn't that be nice right now?" I fantasised.
Disappointingly there is no cappuccino dispenser built into this Volvo's dash, and the next 1 Stop's brew would have to do.
It turns out it was Volvo's new Driver Alert Control system at play, which costs an extra R9500. It registers the car's movements between the lines and also looks out for other forms of driver distraction. Of course, my driving was fine but the Volvo obviously knew better.
A while later, I heard a brief little electronica tune that sounded like something concocted by a DJ on speed. Nope, it wasn't some kind of spontaneous entertainment system coming into play, but rather the Lane Departure Warning system telling me that a wheel touched an outer road line. Which I knew, of course. But it's nice to know that you really want to save my life, so thanks Volvo.
These are just two of a whole battalion of optional safety gadgets available on the latest S60, including an enhanced Blind Spot Information System (R8000) that can now see 70m behind, Cross Traffic Alert for reversing and Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist for easy traffic crawling to name just a few. Let's not forget the advanced pedestrian and cyclist detection system, with auto brake. The former two come in a package that adds R18 900 to the price.
Of course, the whole suite of airbags at all relevant corners as well as advanced traction and stability control are standard on the S60, along with an enhanced City Safety function that can now brake automatically at speeds of up to 50km/h.
It's pretty clear then, that the S60 is at the cutting edge of safety. But has it fulfilled its maker's ambition of evolving into a more desirable, more aspirational brand?
The most recent upgrade was a good start and the sedan now has a more appealing frontal design thanks to a wider grille and new headlights that the designers say were inspired by a wolf's eyes. Not that there's anything truly aggressive about the S60's look - it's simply clean, purposeful and somewhat elegant.
But forget the wolves, Volvo's interior stylists claim to have created a "warm and cosy" interior that makes you feel like you're in a warm Swedish house on a cold night. I can't tell you whether they've succeeded because that one hasn't been ticked off my bucket list as yet, but the cabin does have a rather pleasant feel thanks to its smart new selection of trims and materials, comfortable seats and ample space for occupants in the front and back. The boot feels a little restricted though, but that's mainly down to the fact that a full-sized spare wheel has been squeezed in for our market.
There's a good spread of standard kit in the D5 Elite model that I drove, including leather seats with electric adjustment for those in the front, automatic climate control, cruise control and a what Volvo calls a 'High Performance' audio system linked to a seven-inch screen.
As for the more important performance aspect of this car, the D5 six-speed automatic fares relatively well for a diesel-powered compact premium car. Its five-cylinder 2.4-litre turbodiesel not only emits a pleasantly off-beat soundtrack, but it strikes a good balance between performance and economy.
With 158kW available at 4000rpm and 440Nm from 1500, the D5 is comfortably brisk and something of an overtaking champion, although acceleration off the mark falls short of exciting. On the sensible side of the equation, my long-distance jaunt saw the Volvo sip a respectable 6.5 litres per 100km at speeds in the region of 120km/h.
The ride was comfortable over most surfaces and it was quiet as a cocoon. It felt solid through the corners too and the steering certainly feels firm and communicative enough at speed.
This Swede makes a good enough case for itself and although the D5 it is priced on the steep side of things, it does offer a power and torque advantage over similarly priced sedans. If you want to set yourself apart from the German herd, be sure to take this one for a test drive.
Just a pity that it hasn't learned to make coffee yet.

PUPILS reporting from Weston-under-Penyard CE Primary School want to illustrate what life is like for in their school...
First of all, it's a great team.
All of the teachers know the children really well and offer a lot of help with the work.
Classes are small so pupils all get plenty of attention! Teachers know if pupils are doing something really well or help if we anyone is stuck (they know if we are ever daydreaming too!)
Weston-under-Penyard is a sporty school and join in with lots of local tournaments as well as having sports coaching in quite a few of different sports from football to tennis.
This term the whole school was given a makeover by teachers and governors. It was a lot of work but when the children came back into school they said it was worth it, just to see the looks on everyone's faces!
The younger children have great new outside area to play in.
They say their favourite things to do outside so far are to sell fruit and vegetables in their special shop as well as writing shopping lists for their teachers.
In addition, the school has a brand new library. It's fantastic to be able to choose books and read quietly in there.
It's a great new place to practise Pie Corbett storytelling too.
Carnival time
There have been some changes too at the school.
The school has linked up with Whitchurch CE Primary, which is just on the other side of Ross on Wye.
Pupils do lots of things together now, like a Brazil Day.
Pupils flew to South America (just pretending) and learnt to speak Portuguese, made head dresses ready for the World Cup and learnt to play samba. Next children will be working together on our World War projects before finishing off the year finding out about the Tour de France!
The younger children are finding out about all sorts of things to do with 'Life all around us'. They've been bug hunting and learning how to keep safe as members of the school's first aid club.
Pupils interviewed the new head teacher - Claire McKeown to ask her what she was enjoying most about Weston:
She said: "I am really enjoying getting to know all of the children and finding out how special Weston is.
"I'm proud to be your new head teacher and excited about the future. Linking Weston and Whitchurch together will be great for both schools.
"We can look forward to joint trips, sharing ideas and making sure everyone loves coming to school!"

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It might be counter-intuitive for value-seeking buyers but buying a stock making new 52-week highs is often a better choice.There's a reason why stocks making new highs are performing well, and there's no argument why you, too, can't profit. Even value buyers can look at strong-performing stocks because it takes time for the market to fully discount changes occurring in sectors, industries and individual companies. Think of market delays as your friend and window to profit. It's also the reason why stocks continue established trends as long as they do. In my Jan. 9 "Five Buys Near 52-Week Highs" article, the picks made an average gain of over 10%. Here are the results starting Jan. 9 until May 7, using closing prices for entries and exits. Old Republic International ( ORI) + 26.7% Coca-Cola Enterprises ( CCE) +0% Time Warner ( TWX) + 30.8% PulteGroup ( PHM) + 30.6% Sirius XM Radio ( SIRI ) + 8.6% Old Republic's cost basis is calculated differently ($11) because of my instructions to wait for under $11.
Coca-Cola Enterprises increased as expected. I advised to wait for a pullback to $32 before entry. Investors who didn't wait for a drop profited, but the gains aren't included because my entry price was not reached. Here is what I wrote for reference: "Holding out for $32 may mean you miss another leg higher without looking back, but the alternative may mean paying much more than you need to." We can't expect five out of five winners every time, but take a look at this selection to begin your process of determining if they belong in your portfolio. CCE data by YCharts
Coca-Cola Enterprises produces, distributes and markets nonalcoholic beverages. It provides still and sparkling waters, juices, sports drinks, juice drinks, coffee-based beverages, and teas. The company trades an average of 2.6 million shares per day with a market cap of $10.3 billion. 52-Week High:$37.66 Beta: 0.77 Price to Book: 4.55 Once again Coca-Cola Enterprises makes my list of buys making new 52-week highs. As long as the stock continues its strong bull trend, there is little reason to get off the gravy train. Coca-Cola Enterprises made a new 52-week high in two of the last five trading sessions. The company pays 80 cents annually in dividend payments for a yield of 2.2%. The payout ratio is small enough that fears of a dividend cut are unwarranted. In fact, the regular dividend has increased fivefold since 2005. Look for an entry price of $37 as a reasonable entry or add on.

2 killed, scores hurt in massive pileup
BEAUMONT - Two people died and more than 80 people were hurt Thursday when at least 140 vehicles collided in southeast Texas in a pileup that left trucks twisted on top of each other and authorities rushing to pull survivors from the wreckage.
The collision occurred in extremely foggy conditions at about 8:45 a.m. Thanksgiving Day on Interstate 10 southwest of Beaumont, a Gulf Coast city about 80 miles east of Houston.
A man and a woman were killed in a Chevy Suburban SUV crushed by a tractor-trailer, the Texas Department of Public Safety told KFDM-TV.
Jefferson County sheriff's Deputy Rod Carroll said in a news release that 80 to 90 people were taken to hospitals, with 10 to 12 of those in serious to critical condition. He said 140 to 150 vehicles were involved in the pileup.
According to DPS, a crash on the eastbound side of the highway led to other accidents in a dangerous chain reaction. There were multiple crashes on the other side of the highway as well.
Plea deal reached in Jobs burglary
PALO ALTO - A California man accused of breaking into Steve Jobs' house and stealing computers and the Apple Inc. co-founder's wallet has pleaded no contest to burglarizing homes across the San Francisco Bay Area.
Kariem McFarlin accepted a plea deal and was convicted Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court on eight felony counts of residential burglary and one felony count of selling stolen property.
McFarlin was initially charged in August with one count each of residential burglary and selling stolen property after Jobs' Palo Alto home was broken into in July. He apparently didn't realize he was in Jobs' house until he saw a letter addressed to the Silicon Valley icon, who died in October 2011.
During the 15-hour overnight heist, McFarlin took the late Jobs' wallet and driver's license as well as iPhones, iPads, iPods, Mac computers, champagne and $60,000 worth of Tiffany & Co. jewelry, police said.
Investigators from a task force eventually linked McFarlin, 35, to seven other burglaries in Alameda, Marin and San Francisco dating back to March 2011, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
'Haywire' actress, 59, dies of leukemia
LOS ANGELES - Deborah Raffin, an actress who ran a successful audiobook company with the help of her celebrity friends, has died. She was 59.
Raffin died Wednesday of leukemia at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, her brother, William, told the Los Angeles Times. She was diagnosed with the blood cancer about a year ago.
Raffin, the daughter of 20th Century Fox contract player Trudy Marshall, had roles in movies such as "Forty Carats" and "Once Is Not Enough." She also starred in television mini-series, most notably playing actress Brooke Hayward in "Haywire" and a businesswoman in "Noble House," based on the James Clavell saga set in Hong Kong.
She and her then-husband, music producer Michael Viner, launched Dove Books-on-Tape in the mid-1980s, which blossomed into a multimillion-dollar business.
New Jersey
Wrecked roller coaster might be tourist site
SEASIDE HEIGHTS - The remains of a roller coaster that was knocked off a New Jersey amusement pier by superstorm Sandy and partially submerged in the Atlantic Ocean might be left there as a tourist attraction.
Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers told WNBC-TV in New York that officials have not made a decision on whether to tear down the coaster. But the mayor said he's working with the Coast Guard to see if the coaster is stable enough to leave it alone, because he believes it would make "a great tourist attraction."
'World's Biggest Pile of Leaves' goes viral
SALT LAKE CITY - Nick Garrett and his northern Utah buddies know how to kid around, from burying a treasure chest filled with chocolate coins on Venice Beach to doing flips off the roof of a house into what they call the "World's Biggest Pile of Leaves."
Three of their YouTube videos have gone viral, generating a little cash for them and even laughs from those who need it most - victims of Hurricane Sandy.
It's easy to laugh watching Garrett and friends do back flips and cartwheels into a leaf pile that grew to 17 feet high and 60 feet in circumference, with an estimated 20,000 pounds of leaves they collected across Logan.
The YouTube video already has been viewed 1.5 million times.
Dolphins stranded at low tide rescued
WELLFLEET - Animal rescuers say they have rescued four stranded common dolphins after a herd of eight was caught swimming during low tide on Thanksgiving at Herring River on Cape Cod.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare said its Marine Mammal Rescue and Research team successfully herded three dolphins out of danger Thursday. One animal died.
Rescuers stabilized the four stranded dolphins, carried them out of the mud and placed them in a rescue trailer for full health exams. They were all deemed healthy for release back to the ocean.

Sometimes you are completely hateful. To the person who is closest to you in the whole world, you say things that you can't even imagine saying to your worst enemy.
Just today you said the following horrible things to her:
"You are hopeless."
"You are a no talent phony."
"Are you sure YOU think you can do THAT?" (Caps added to show the depth of your mad passive aggressive skills.)
"You are a scatterbrain."
Then as soon as you took a breath and your victim thought you were done, you stooped even lower, just to be sure your work was done:
"As long as we're talking about you and your inadequacies, you do know you're a little overweight, right? Oh, you can't cook either. And ha ha, what's with having both a new zit and wrinkle? "
You could go on and on. Words are your thing even if you're not saying them out loud; your brain abhors a vacuum.
Isn't today a good day to stop your hateful "internal dialogue" – your "negative self talk" or whatever it is you want to call it?
Musicians don't knock themselves over the head with their instruments. And painters don't eat paint (I don't think they do anyway.)
Next time you catch yourself abusing your lovely and spectacular self with your own words, imagine yourself saying these things to someone you love. Horrifying, isn't it? Hopefully your horror will make you stop.

Larger than China, Europe and the United States combined, the African continent is a vast and varied. Deciding where to go in Africa is your first decision when planning your safari. Each destination offers an experience that is unique and awe-inspiring: whether you travel to Eastern Africa or Southern Africa the wildlife will astound you. And on a Wildland Adventures African safari some of your most memorable and meaningful experiences will be among the people you meet traveling with our exceptional guides and sharing stories with indigenous people like the Zulu of South Africa or the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania.
There are many factors to consider in deciding where to go on safari. Our African travel specialists have spent much of their lives on African safari tours. They can help you decide where to go on safari in Africa, and once you know where you want to go they help travelers in choose which African safari is right for them.
Eastern Africa
Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda
Key Characteristics of Safaris in East Africa
• Vast open spaces and the diverse landscapes of the Rift Valley
• Vast herds of wildebeest and zebra
• Two dry seasons: Jun-Oct and Jan-Mar
• Safaris in closed 4WD vehicles with open roof tops
• Mostly game drives in national parks, some walking in private reserves
• Numerous opportunities for cultural encounters with local tribes
• Private reserves in Kenya allow greater flexibility for game viewing – night drives, bush walks, off road driving.
Top Picks for an East Africa Safari Adventure:
• Serengeti Wilderness Safari: The classic safari experience to Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, walking with Maasai, bow and arrow hunting with Bushman. Great for families!
• Maasailand Safari: Wildlife safaris combined with a profound cultural experience living among the Maasai.
• Uganda Gorilla Safari: Track and observe a mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimps in Kibale National Park, and wildlife of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi
Southern Africa spans a diverse range of topography with a wide variety of habitats from grassy savannahs and bushy woodlands, to the thundering waters of Victoria Falls, the sweeping sand dunes of the Namib and Kalahari deserts, the rugged Drakensberg Mountains, the beautiful beaches and coastlines of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and of course the historic city and winelands of Cape Town. The dramatic seasonal variation of this region creates a diverse and stunning landscape: from the dry deserts of the Skeleton Coast and Kalahari Desert, to the heavy rains of the Angolan highlands that fill the Okavango Delta, the biggest inland wetland in the world, game viewing very much depends on season, and water and food availability.
Safari tourism in Southern Africa has been developed for the most part as low volume with smaller camps and lodges on private concessions (instead of only national parks), creating a more exclusive, personalized safari experience at a higher cost. African wildlife safaris originated in Southern Africa more than a century ago and have helped set the standards and practices throughout the continent including guide training, interpretation and conservation.
Compared to East Africa, safaris in Southern Africa do not offer the vast open vistas or massive wildlife concentrations like the Serengeti plains. In Botswana and Zambia especially there are more opportunities to join walking safaris following native trackers to locate wildlife in tall grasses and acacia woodlands. Game viewing on many private concessions provides opportunities to drive off-road and at night. In the unique wetland habitat of the Okavango Delta and along the Zambezi River exciting boat safaris are also available with some of the most charming and remote African camps. Cultural experiences among indigenous peoples are more limited compared to safaris in East Africa, although visits with the San Bushman of the Kalahari or Zulu community in Kwa-Zulu Natal are available and special township tours outside of Cape Town are a highlight.
Key Characteristics of Safaris in Southern Africa
• Varied and distinctive topography and habitats from deserts to wetlands
• Smaller herds, more concentrated in smaller private concessions
• Dry season: May-October
• Open 4WD vehicles; small aircraft flights between destinations are common
• Many small private camps are limited to 8-12 guests
• Wildlife viewing on private concessions with few other tourists
• Some cultural opportunities although indigenous communities are more isolated
• Wider variety of safaris activities: extensive walking opportunities, mokoro (canoe), motor boat, hot air ballooning, kayaking and mountain biking.
Top Picks for a Southern Africa Safari Adventure:
• Wild Botswana Safari: Adventurous luxury mobile camping safari exploring the Okavango Delta and thundering Victoria Falls.
• Transfrontier Wildlands of Africa: Experience the best of the bush in Kruger National Park and track elephants and lions with researchers in Mashatu Game Reserve, Botswana.
• Ultimate African Adventure: Trek through the African bush with an expert tracker in Zambia and then relax in beautiful Lake Malawi.
All our African safari guides are exceptionally trained and experienced professional naturalists, spotters and drivers. In East Africa, although we make us of some local flight connections, most safaris are overland expeditions in 4WD vehicles (not minivans) with the same English-speaking, expert driver-guide throughout your itinerary. He will be with you from dawn until dusk, and depending on the accommodation he may stay at another location returning early the next morning for the next day's activities. On Southern African safaris, where fly-in itineraries are more common, guides are often resident naturalists based at the lodges and camps. Because Southern African safari camps are often small, remote and more exclusive, guides usually share meals with guests developing close relations until you move to the next camp where you meet the next resident naturalist.
Family Safaris
In general, East Africa offers more opportunities and greater value for African family safaris. Most camps and lodges accept young children, travel involves fewer flights, and the abundance of wildlife everywhere keeps kids interest piqued. Another of the greatest advantages in East Africa for kids are the unforgettable encounters with Maasai, Datoga and Bushman tribal peoples. Our Tanzania Family Safari is the most popular family safari in Africa.
South Africa family safaris are a wonderful experience with some lodges and camps located in malaria-free areas where anti-malaria medications are not necessary. Many camps outside of South Africa, especially Botswana, Zambia and Namibia, are less conducive to African family safaris requiring minimum age of eight years old, unless you reserve the entire camp or we arrange a privately guided safari vehicle each day. If you have at least eight travelers in your family safari group, it is possible to fill some of the smaller camps. Therefore, families with younger children may best consider East Africa.

When Beer and Tech Meet – Tech Tuesday
Beer is God's way of saying he loves us. And technology as a rule, improves on it's self sometimes with small steps, and other times, with great leaps. This is one of those great leaps, and brings the 2 together. Mike Wakerly created the Kegbot back in 2003. It's a free, open-source project to turn your beer kegerator into a computerized drink tracker. Now it's been improved by Google employee Paul Carff, using Google technology.
