How to Clear Location History of Desktop Background List in Windows Vista and Later
If you are using Windows Vista or later and want to remove the "Location" history from "Desktop Background" list, then this trick is for you.
In Windows Vista and later, you can change the Desktop Wallpaper by right-clicking on Desktop and selecting "Personalize" option and then click on "Desktop Background" option and there you can apply your desired wallpaper by selecting the image using "Browse" button or by selecting an image from the given list.
But whenever you browse a folder for selecting your desired wallpaper, its path is stored in "Location" drop-down box and everyone can see and use that path as shown in following screenshot:
If you want to clear the entire location history or want to remove any particular folder path from the list, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. Now go to following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Wallpapers\Images
2. In right-side pane, you'll see all directory paths listed. Simply select the desired key associated with the path which you want to remove and delete it.
NOTE for Windows 8/8.1 Users: In newer Windows versions such as Windows 8, you'll see strings with the name ID0, ID1, ID2, etc having random letters and numbers in their values. Just delete all those strings to clear location history in personalization window.
3. That's it. It'll immediately remove that folder from the history list. Now you can check the Desktop Background list and your deleted path will not be present there.
If you want to clear the whole location history, delete all existing keys from right-side pane.
PS: Windows 10 users will need to follow method given in following tutorial:

Your select viewing guide for Monday, July 16
MUSIC: The Next Star (YTV, 7 p.m.) Back for its fifth season, this summer TV perennial renews the search for the next great Canadian pop star with fresh attitude and new judges. This season the singing hopefuls, aged 15 and under, will be judged by a panel comprising Juno-winning popstress Keshia Chanté, country singer Tara Oram and music-industry executive Mark Spicoluk, and hosted by former Degrassi: The Next Generation regular Adamo Ruggiero, who oversaw the cross-country audition process last spring. Tonight's opener documents the auditions in Edmonton and Vancouver.
HISTORY: Dig WW2 (History, 8 p.m.) In this new series, host Dan Snow – known as the "History Hunter" – unfurls the history of the Second World War through his participation in archeological digs and excavations of former military sites throughout Europe. Tonight's first show, he explores the wreckage of a downed fighter plane in Northern Ireland and takes a ride on a vintage RAF seaplane. In the second hour, he checks out the remains of a B-17 that crashed off the coast of Ireland and discovers the engine of a prototype Canadian Spitfire plane in Normandy, France.
REALITY: Market Warriors (PBS, 9 p.m.) No doubt inspired by the success of cable shows like Storage Wars and Storage Hunters, this new PBS series comes from the creators of Antiques Roadshow and puts forth a challenge to four professional treasure hunters searching for precious objects to flip for profit. In tonight's opener, pickers Miller, John, Bob and Kevin roll into Lancaster, Pa., to take part in a huge indoor-outdoor flea market. While perusing the tables laden with Hummel figurines and Pennsylvania Dutch antiques, the four are tasked to find an Eames chair, a Moss floor lamp and a Tiffany jelly jar.
DRAMA: White Collar (Bravo!, 10 p.m.) From the USA Network, this offbeat comedy-drama about buttoned-down FBI agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) who enlists the assistance of charming con man Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) to catch crooks is an acquired taste, but many Canadian viewers are discovering it via new episodes this summer. People are watching the show for familiar TV faces – including Diahann Carroll as Neal's landlady and ex-Saved by the Bell regular Tiffani Thiessen as Peter's wife – and for the original story lines that constantly test the unlikely partnership between the two principals.
MOVIE: Captains Courageous (TCM, midnight) The great Spencer Tracy won his first best actor Oscar for this ripping adventure story. Based on the Rudyard Kipling novel, the 1937 film stars Tracy as humble fisherman Manuel, who rescues rich kid Harvey (Freddie Bartholomew) from the chilly waters near Newfoundland. Once cast out to sea, Harvey has no choice but to accept a humble job on the fishing boat, and naturally the spoiled brat becomes a better person under Manuel's tutelage. Supporting cast includes Lionel Barrymore as the ship's captain and Mickey Rooney as his son.

Another track and field meet. Another personal best for the University of Wyoming's McKenzie Brogan. The senior ran 1:00.03 in the 400-meter hurdles on Friday at the Utah Spring Classic to pace a group of four all-time top 10 marks for the program on the day.
Brogan has run the 400-meter hurdles at three meets this season and has improved her time in each attempt. Her effort on Friday helped her win the event and move up to seventh in Cowgirl history, while ranking 55th in the NCAA this season. Junior Cassidy Meade was impressive as well, as she placed fourth in the 800 meters in 2:10.34. The personal-best time moved her up to fourth in Cowgirl history in the event. Freshman Sofia Hof cleared 5-5 3/4 in the high jump, good for 10th in Cowgirl history. The Wyoming women also got event victories from freshman Ja'la Henderson in the long jump at 19-3 1/2 and junior Mikalah Skates in the 100-meter hurdles in 14.10.
Junior Jordan Charles paced the Wyoming men with a victory in the 110-meter hurdles. His personal-best time of 13.99 keeps him fifth in Cowboy history, while ranking first in the Mountain West and 30th in the NCAA this season. Freshman Bryce Ailshie was less than a second away from UW's top 10 in the 800 meters with a time of 1:50 on Friday, good for second in the race. The time ranks first in the conference and 41st in the nation this season. Senior Dylan Morin was runner-up in the 5,000 meters in 15:02.
Wyoming competes at the Weber State Open on Saturday in Ogden, Utah, while a group of throwers travel to the CU Invite in Boulder, Colo.

KK wrote:Sky have retained the EFL rights, with highlights likely moving from 5 to ITV, but boy have they paid for it...Guardian wrote:Sky set to retain live Football League rights in £180m-a-year deal
Broadcaster understood to have entered into exclusive talks, after winning bidding war with rival BT
Sky is set to retain the rights to the Football League in a blockbuster bidding battle with BT that has seen the price as much as double to £180m a season.
The Football League is understood to have entered into exclusive talks with Sky for the live rights, in a three to five-year deal worth between £500m and £900m.
The official announcement, which could come as soon as Wednesday, will scupper any hope that the recent years of inflationary bids for the crown jewels of sport might be at an end.
Bosses at the Premier League will be rubbing their hands at the outcome of the bid, with Sky and BT set to go head to head in a potential £6bn battle for the UK's most expensive sports rights at the end of the year.
ITV is heavily tipped to win the Football League highlights rights from Channel 5.
It is understood that the Football League, which decided not to take up an automatic one-year extension with Sky, although the broadcaster still has two years left on its current deal, had been expected to make a decision last Friday.
However, it is understood that bids from BT and Sky extended the auction timeline, vindicating the Football League's decision to take its rights to the market early.
The deal, which will be for three or five years, is crucial for Sky to win as it has just embarked on a new strategy of scrapping its numbered Sky Sports channels in favour of themed ones focused on specific sports – led by football, golf and cricket.
With two football channels, the flagship focusing on Premier League matches, to lose the Football League would have been a hammer blow.
"Sky needs this deal more than BT," said one source. "BT can survive without it on the same model. Sky has its new channel strategy to fill and the Football League is the number one product in a lot of households in places like Leeds, Nottingham, Derby and Norwich. Most of the eastern side of England has no Premier League."
It is the second time in as many months that Sky has gone head to head with BT in a big-money deal: it spent £1bn to retain the rights to all international and domestic cricket in England with the England and Wales Cricket Board. The £220m a year deal, which included the BBC getting some Twenty20 matches, is worth about three times the £75m a year Sky paid under its existing deal for exclusive rights. With its dedicated cricket channel, Sky, which has said that cricket is the most valuable sport for its business after domestic football, had to win the rights renewal.
Later this year, Sky and BT will face off again for the biggest prize of all when the Premier League rights come up for renewal in what could be a £6bn sports rights auction. The pair could be joined by Amazon, which earlier this month poached the UK rights to the ATP men's tennis world tour – all the tournaments outside the grand slams and the finals at London's O2 Arena each year – from Sky.
Amazon has deep pockets, but may not be ready this auction cycle to commit such sums to drive its Prime Video service and wider business, but the threat could spur more big spending from BT and Sky.
The spiralling cost of sports rights, primarily the Premier League, has weighed on Sky's business. A one-off £629m rise in its Premier League rights deal contributed to a 14% fall in profits at its UK and Ireland operations in the year to end of June.
That'll be another subs increase.
I would absolutely love it if amazon won The main proportion of prem rights, think it would be hillarious, however I'm not convinced they will bid for it. Every time the rights come up there's always some rumoured bidder that just doesn't turn up.

Introducing Our New Cloud-Based Font Manager for Creative Teams
May 17th, 2016 by Jim Kidwell
If you work on a design team that struggles with font synchronization issues, today we are
thrilled to announce a new product that will get your design workflow humming!
Drum roll please…
Introducing Suitcase TeamSync, our new font manager that allows you to share font libraries across teams using the familiar Suitcase Fusion application as the front end.
Here's how it works:
- Purchase a Suitcase TeamSync annual subscription ($8/month per person) for a minimum of two people
- Assign users to your account, which will include a copy of Suitcase Fusion 7 for all subscribers (updates included for free!)
- Begin sharing font libraries via the cloud – you can designate which font collections get shared with each individual designer.
Yep, it's that easy!
Why Suitcase TeamSync?
Any design team that uses fonts is undoubtedly going to benefit from a font management system. Teams often run into issues when using different versions of the same font. Text reflows, missing fonts and even missing glyphs can derail a project, creating setbacks designers simply don't have time for. To work together as a well-oiled machine, everyone must have access to the same, precise fonts.

What makes homes sell quickly
What makes one home sell quickly versus another sitting on the market for months?
There are so many factors that play into this question; however, there are some basic best practices that can set your stage for success.
In my opinion, one of the most important factors is team effort. The more the team contributes, generally speaking, the more likely a win. Prepare, prepare, prepare.
Stop for a minute and think about a really good experience. Whether it's going to a nice restaurant or shopping for a new car, if you were served well, it didn't come without preparation, effort and perhaps some practice.
If you walk into a dirty restaurant do you stay? Do you test-drive a dirty car? Of course not. But homes are listed in less than pristine condition all the time, and those sellers believe they should sell quickly and for top dollar.
Here are some tips to make your road to a successful move a little less bumpy.
First, consult with a professional, experienced real estate agent. Discuss the pros and cons of doing some home improvements before listing your home.
It may take some time to get through the necessary projects, so plan accordingly. If something is broken, consider getting it fixed. Fresh paint is virtually always appealing.
Declutter! Would you buy a car that had a back seat full of someone's stuff? Most people don't like other people's stuff.
Clean the yard and plant if necessary. Prune and fix sprinklers. If the water heater is on its last leg, replace it.
As simple as it sounds, get your home professionally cleaned. All of it, from rain gutters to carpets.
Now you're pretty close to show time. Is your agent ready? Are they using a professional photographer? Did they talk to you about staging? Staging can be as much as the entire house or as little as new linens, plants and clear counters.
Was it suggested that important or breakable things be put away? How will your home be marketed? Has your target audience been determined? Is your home priced correctly? Is your home easy to see when a qualified buyer is ready to look?
If every member of the team has done their job well, in today's market you should get top dollar based on comparable sales for like properties. This includes location, size of home, yard and upgrades.
Consider all the facts. Prepare like you're headed to the Super Bowl. Work together and make adjustments as necessary.
Buying a new home is an emotional decision and a big investment. It's the team's responsibility to make your home irresistible. And as the saying goes, "You only have one chance to make a first impression."

In 1996 the first FFI Body of Knowledge Committee identified four core disciplines—later referred to as "the buckets"—as key to understanding family enterprise advising and consulting.
They are behavioral science, finance, law, and management science.
In today's Internet age breaking news and the "latest" on any particular topic of interest comes to us as fast as we can refresh our browsers or tap the icons of our cell phone apps. In an effort to sift through the noise while keeping abreast of the core disciplines, The Practitioner brings you some of the latest thinking in the "buckets"—some of which is quite different from what was considered "cutting edge" more than 25 years ago!
Behavioral Science
Do birds of a feather really flock together? A recent study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B found that a highly social species of birds who forego breeding are "far more likely to care for their own close relatives." The research suggests that there might be a cooperation instinct in order to promote the success of kin who share DNA. An interesting finding. For our purposes, does (and should) cooperation really come "naturally" for those in the family?
Read the full story here. The complete research study is available here.
Compensation in the family business can at times become a source of significant conflict. Pay-for-performance (or merit pay) models are typically used as incentives for productivity in organizations of all sizes. But which plans are most effective? The latest study entitled "How and What You Pay Matters: The Relative Effectiveness of Merit Pay, Bonuses and Long-Term Incentives on Future Job Performance" published in Compensation and Benefits Review "examines how three different forms of pay-for-performance plans—merit pay, individual-based annual bonuses and long-term incentive plans—influence employee future performance when they operate simultaneously."
Download the full article here.
Special thanks to Compensation and Benefits Review for making this article available in its entirety to FFI Practitioner readers.
Whether or not you knew it, June 13, 2012 was a game-changing day for businesses around the world (and their attorneys) when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers released applications for new top-level domains (allowing businesses to buy domain names such as .shop or .google). While at first glance this seems rather innocuous, it opens up a host of trademark and business risks especially for longstanding family businesses with coveted name recognition. "The next step in the domain name land grab is for all brand owners, trademark holders, and attorneys to sift through all the applications to find those that could pose potential trademark or business risks."

Management Science
"The command-and-control approach to management has in recent years become less and less viable." ("Leadership Is a Conversation," Harvard Business Review, June 2012). In this article and their new book Talk, Inc.: How Trusted Leaders Use Conversation to Power Their Organizations (Harvard Business Review Press, 2012), Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind present a new form of organizational communication. Arriving at this new methodology after two years of interviews with top leaders at over 100 companies including "large and small, blue chip and start-up, for-profit and nonprofit, U.S. and international." But, is this really new? Or are we, as practitioners, ahead of the curve—already employing this methodology with our clients? You decide.
Read the article and listen to the interview online here.
I hope you've enjoyed reviewing some of the latest thinking in the core disciplines. For a little lighter reading The Practitioner recommends the beautifully written and moving novel Memory of Trees: A Daughter's Story of a Family Farm available here.

Kissing and Bikinis, Reposting from January 2012: Its summertime
Four years ago, our oldest was preparing for marriage. It was an exciting time for us and as the Catholic momma, I got out the information on Catholic weddings along with the Emily Post's "Wedding Etiquette" my mom sent me.
A very interesting tidbit about the ceremony that I didn't know was about the kiss. There, on page 356, is a little box that explains this tradition:
"the sacramentality of the body is a visible sign for us of invisible realities concerning God and the deepest meaning of our existence. Our bodies make the invisible love of God visible."

Charlie also had a photo of a German shephard that was passed down by Pop-Pop that was painted by Hitler HIMSELF. He has remained a Nazi his entire life. He also is Anti-Semitic, favors Dennis over Dee (like most of the men on the show do),, Thinks that "Kikes" are stealing his stuff, and is not the only Nazi on the show (The "Trash" guy and the African-American camp director are also considered Neo-Nazis).

Moviegoers in Round Rock, Texas will have a unique option for seeing movies when the Flix Brewhouse opens tomorrow, June 29, 2011.
The Flix Brewhouse bills itself as the only first-run movie theater in the world with a working microbrewery. When it opens at 6pm tomorrow, it will be in "sneak peek" mode, where they will offer 42 draft beers, an extensive wine list, and traditional snacks. The full kitchen opens in time for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 on July 15th, and the brewery should have its first tastings in mid-August.
All six auditoriums will have stadium seating "dining rooms" that feature Digital Cinema Projection systems, high-back chairs, and moveable table tops.
The microbrewery is planning to produce a selection of 6-8 beers, and the Flix Mix bar and cafe in the lobby will be open seven days a week, and no ticket will be required for the cafe.
The theater is a joint effort of Galaxy Theatres out of Los Angeles and a local investment group.
We're planning on getting showtimes very shortly, so head over to their Showtimes page and make sure that you select it as one of your Favorite Theaters to make it easy to find their showtimes and information!

Get Data Entry Done
Budget $250-750 USD
It's a pretty much simple "copy and paste" task.
I'll ask you to copy specific parts of text from a scanned book (delivered to you in PDF OCR file) and paste it into a Word file.
Here's what needs to be done:
I will send you a scanned and OCR'ed book with a highlighted text in it. Your task would be to find the highlighted passages in the book, select them, copy and then paste them into a Word file. You'll have you to style the pasted text in a simple yet specific way for a better readability.
Since optical character recognition is not the most reliable technology, you'll have to fix some minor spelling mistakes here and there. Nothing major, since the scan quality is really good and OCR should work flawlessly most of the time.
On average a 100 page book will have around 4000 highlighted words. More or less depending on a book at hand. The average book length will be around 200 pages. And you should expect from 4 to 15 books a month, depending on how much time I have to read.
On average, it will take you around 30 or so minutes to extract all the highlighted text from one book (based on my experience).
IMPORTANT: I want you to name your price for 5000 words extracted. This way we'll streamline the process and cut out the time for negotiating price for each and every book separately.
PS. Here's one of the books with highlighted text in it to serve as an example of what you'll be working with:

Kaleb's Emblem
Click on each thumbnail below for a larger image
I made this for my stepson for his graduation from Firefighter/EMT school. We're so proud of him. He picked the emblem design himself. (I think he was testing me!)
The emblem and fire are done trapunto with all the little details quilted in. The red border has a feather motif all around. The black has simple 2" lines all coming from center of the emblem, with the exception of an 11" "Avante" design in the 4 corners inside the feather border.
Kaleb put the quilt on the futon in his home office where he has all of his certificates and keepsakes for display. It is special to me that he is proud enough of it to display it to all of his firefighter buddies.

"A very unpleasant experience."
About: South Tyneside District Hospital South Tyneside District Hospital South Shields NE34 0PL
Posted by Spookytooth
What I liked
Seen to quite quickly
What could be improved
Staff attitudes/training issue
Anything else?
I had the misfortune of having blood tests taken today which was the second time in recent months. I arrived to an empty waiting area which was a welcome surprise. Sadly though I was seen by the same phlebotomist as in my first vist. I knew I was in for a painful time. I would regard my veins to be quite prominent and know one has ever had any difficulty obtaining blood from me before. The assistant was polite, however she was quite rough and applied excessive pressure when she inserted the needle. It felt like it had been rammed in. As she continued the pressure became quite intense. I commented that it really hurt, but her only response was to half smile. I was very pleased to leave. Several hours after leaving I am now left with a hard bruised lump in my arm.
Response from South Tyneside District Hospital 5 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our services on the NHS Choices website. I apologise your experience of our phlebotomy service was not as it should have been and I will bring this matter to the attention of the senior phlebotomist to ensure staff are reminded of the need to be assuring and caring to al patients when taking blood specimens. Should you wish this matter to be further investigated please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Kind regards
Lorraine B Lambert
Chief Executive

Background Paediatric clinical research faces unique challenges that compromise optimal recruitment of children into clinical trials. A main barrier to enrolment of children is parental misconceptions about the research process. In developing countries, there is a knowledge gap regarding parental perceptions of and attitudes towards their children's participation in clinical trials. Objective To explore such perceptions and attitudes in Lebanese parents. Study design 33 in-depth interviews were conducted with parents with and without previous research experience. Interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed in colloquial Arabic, and later subjected to thematic analysis. Results Benefit/risk ratio assessment was a major determinant of parental consent. Fear of adverse events or painful procedures in research was a recurring theme in most interviews. Whereas perception of direct benefit to the child, trust in the physician or institution, financial gains or having a positive previous experience in research facilitated consent, a complex informed consent form and misunderstanding of the term 'randomisation' hindered parental approval of participation. Conclusion Lebanese parents have perceptions of and attitudes towards children's participation in clinical trials that are similar to those reported from the industrialised world. Improving communication with parents and building trust between researchers and parents is important for successful recruitment. Investigators planning to conduct paediatric trials in developing countries need to simplify consent forms and devise new ways to explain randomisation.

CAPITOL SKETCHBOOK; Capital Slips Into Routine as the Packwood Furor Slips Away
By FRANCIS X. CLINES
Published: September 15, 1995
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14— Now that the scandal over Bob Packwood is fading quickly, there is a sort of human letdown, which comes as no surprise to readers of another womanizing diarist, Samuel Pepys, who jotted on Oct. 13, 1660, after witnessing the Crown's hanging, drawing and quartering of Major General Harrison:
"He looked as cheerful as any man could in that condition. He was presently cut down and his head and heart shown to the people, at which there was great shouts of joy."
Hours later, Pepys was back to routine -- a plate of oysters at the Sun Tavern, a quarrel with his wife.
Similarly, routine is resettling upon the Senate. Senator Packwood has survived the political drawing and quartering he finally accepted a week ago in resigning live before the electronically gaping people. And workers in the Senate now find no match for him on the horizon for the generation of sheer human interest, anger and titillation across the work day.
A loftier debate over the nation's encrusted welfare system is under way, and some keep talking of that long-threatened "train wreck" in the annual Federal budget fight that is lumbering into view, timely as the autumnal hobgoblins.
But this stuff is hardly as engrossing as the human debacle that Mr.Packwood made of his Senate career with his serial woman mashing and compulsive diary writing.
Like so many others, Edmund Morris, the historian currently residing near the Capitol as he works on a biography of Ronald Reagan, found the episode phenomenally distracting, particularly in the odd way that Mr. Packwood treated his diary, as much as he mistreated women. The Senator made the journal process "a sort of neurotic conversation rather than an attempt to be honest about oneself in private," Mr. Morris said.
"A written diary -- an honest one, that is -- presupposes only some general reader far in the future," Mr. Morris said, finding the Senator's tape recording of his supposedly private notions for immediate transcription by an intermediary a bad way to treat history.
Time will test whether the tale of Senator Packwood and his diary remains engrossing precisely because it is so vainglorious. He showed none of the classicist's instinct that has made the truly private diary of James V. Forrestal, the nation's first Secretary of Defense, an enduring labor of grandeur and tragedy.
Immediately before his suicide 46 years ago, Mr. Forrestal, war-weary and depressed, closed out his mortal notations with Sophocles's dark "Chorus from Ajax":
Comfortless, nameless, hopeless save
In the dark prospect of the yawning grave.
In contrast, Mr. Packwood indulges the mundane, forthrightly opining about such issues as which supermarket, Safeway or Giant, pleases him most inside the Beltway. Who is to say his pathetically detailed experiment with blow-drying his hair will not some day prove to be a Pepys-quality revelation about the deeper concerns of working politicians of the late 20th century?
If anyone can learn a lesson from the Packwood scandal, it should be the Senate historian, Richard A. Baker, but it seems that, in his own obstinately professional way, he just doesn't get it.
"I always tell each new senator who arrives here, 'Be sure to keep a diary,' " Mr. Baker said, hoping the Packwood affair will not further inhibit this city's badly crippled instinct for candor. "I will keep saying it: Keep a diary. Senators really do have a ringside seat to history."
But the risk of diary writing in this leering city has never been clearer.
"If you're thinking about it, don't," advises Senator William S. Cohen, Republican of Maine, a practiced writer of novel, screenplay, muckraking tract and, for one year, a diary that he found too burdensome a balance of candor and diplomacy.
Last year, Joshua L. Steiner, a 28-year-old chief of staff in the Treasury Department, made an agonizing appearance before a Senate Whitewater hearing to recant some swaggering notions he had penned in his diaries, about a "furious" President Clinton. Mr. Steiner might better have heeded Lord Byron's diary admonition: "I fear one lies more to oneself than to anyone else."
In this, Mr. Packwood's observations of life in Washington bear a special quality of callowness that seems sadly definitive of the place. "Oh, it had 100 purposes," the Senator had privately told the Ethics Committee, trying to explain why on earth anyone would keep such a damning record of foibles and excesses. "Some people stop and talk to themselves. I talk to the diary."
At least he was revealing about the compulsion of the Federal city, and the mendacity. "On occasion," Mr. Packwood testified, "I discovered that I would recount conversations that simply didn't happen."
As he leaves office in two weeks, Mr. Packwood can accept as advice the entry Pepys made in closing out his diary three centuries ago with open doubts about its value: "Whatever comes of it, I must forbear."

Adminbar not appearing on main pages of site regardless of theme
I'm having a bizarre issue where the adminbar is not appearing on the main pages of my site regardless of what theme I use.
The bizarre part is that I made a basically identical version of the site on another server and the admin bar works there perfectly fine. I copied the entire html directory from one server to another (including all file permissions). I backed up the database and restored it to the other server. I naturally had to modify the database and configuration for the domain name of the second server, but that is all I did. When I login to the second server, all the content/users/configuration is identical. I have tediously gone through both servers and verified that every configuration setting is identical.
On the original server, I have switched to the TwentyTen theme (and other themes) and the admin bar does not appear on any main pages. On the second server, I have switched to TwentyTen and the admin bar does appear.
On both systems I am running WordPress 3.5.1 in MultiSite mode with only 1 site currently there. The adminbar functions perfectly fine in the backend of the server (the /wp-admin area) but not on the main pages.
The two systems have the identical
.htaccessfile with the exception that
/foo/on the original and
/on the second server.
There are only two differences I can see between the servers:
1. Directory installation – on the original server, WordPress multisite is installed in a subdirectory of the main site, i.e.
www.example.com/foo/. On the second server it is installed at the top of the domain, i.e.
2. Different Linux and PHP installations – the original server is Ubuntu Linux and the second server is CentOS. For PHP, the original server has these packages that the second does not:
php-curl php-suhosin
The second server has these PHP packages that the original does not:
php-pdo php-xml php-xmlrpc
Outside of that, I can't see any real difference between the installations.
I should note that prior to doing all this, I had:
- Read every post I could find here in the forums on missing adminbars.
- Tried different themes (and found the admin bar still missing)
- Deactivated all plugins
- Verified that the "Show Toolbar" checkbox in user profiles was in fact checked
- Verified that themes have
wp_footer()in the correct places
- Checked that
#wpadminbarin CSS was not set to none.
- Done everything else short of doing a full manual reinstall that I could find in the forums.
I went through the process of making this second site to see if there was a theme issue I could somehow fix. However, when the adminbar worked perfectly fine on the second server, I started digging in further.
Any ideas on this? Is there an issue with the adminbar not working in multisite installations that are in a subdirectory/subfolder? Or am I missing anything from the original server in terms of PHP components?
I should note that the adminbar did work in our installation with the same theme a few versions of WordPress ago. It stopped working at some point and I've lost track of what version of WordPress it was – and unfortunately what changes, if any, we made to our theme after that. I also don't know if changes were made by our hosting provider to the underlying server since the time it was working. So I'm just trying to figure out where to look next.

#1: CIR v Standard Bank of SA Ltd 1985 SA 428 (A) (47 SATC 179)
As in the case of CIR v Standard Bank of SA Ltd 1985 SA 428 (A) (47 SATC 179), the Practical Tax Loose Leaf Service explains that in this case the bank used a small portion of its borrowed funds to invest in redeemable preference shares (a type of share that yields dividends).
SARS disallowed the deduction of a portion of the interest that the bank paid because the preference shares yielded tax-free dividends.
SARS didn't count the raising of these shares as producing income.
Ruling: The court found that Standard Bank raised the funds to produce income; so the interest paid on all the funds borrowed was deductible.
#2: C, SARS v Scribante Construction, 2002 (4) SA 835 SCA
On, the other hand, in the case of C, SARS v Scribante Construction, 2002 (4) SA 835 SCA, the taxpayer declared a dividend, but instead of paying it to its shareholders, it retained the dividend, so that it had the necessary funds available to conduct its business operations.
Ruling: The court found the interest it paid on the ensuing loan account, was deductible.
Now these are two very unusual instances of when you can claim when you can claim interest as a deduction.
The golden rule is that you claim interest charges as a tax deduction on items you use to produce income for your business.

They say that beauty starts from within. Many of us take a multi-vitamin every day; a super jam packed dose of all our essential daily vitamins in one. But what is really in your one-size-fits-all super pill, and more importantly, we know they're good for you, but how are effecting your skin? We broke it all down, lets take a look…
Vitamin A, as we know, does a body good. Vitamin A is the name of a group of fat-soluble retinoids, including retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. Many people take vitamin A as an important part of maintaining immune health as well as treating kidney stones, various diseases of the nervous system, improving menstrual periods and male sperm count, nose infections and loss of sense of smell, asthma, persistent headaches, kidney stones, overactive thyroid, anemia, deafness, mouth sore and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Vitamin A is commonly known and beneficial for treating skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, cold sores, wounds, burns and sunburn and has also been proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles that come with aging. Retinol cream has been a talked about product in the media for its proven anti-aging benefits. (as well as lesser known; keratosis follicularis (Darier's disease), ichthyosis (noninflammatory skin scaling), lichen planus pigmentosus, and pityriasis rubra pilaris.)
Vitamin B Complex
For many years, people thought there was only one type "B" Vitamin, but in fact, there are several and all are needed for healthy skin. Vitamin B enhances the permeation of blood and fluids into different areas of the skin, so that the outer layers of the skin receive oxygen that is carried by the blood. Each play a major role in the activities of enzymes and proteins that regulate chemical reactions in the body. Vitamin B complex is made up of:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine): Thiamine helps to convert glucose into energy and has a major role in nerve functions, and is an antioxidant that helps to increase blood circulation. Vitamin B1 also protects us from the effects of ageing, smoking and effects of alcohol consumption
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): Riboflavin is involved in the energy production and helps to improve vision. It also improves skin health.
Vitamin B3 (niacin): Niacin helps to covert carbohydrates, fats and alcohol into energy. It helps in maintaining skin and aids in the functions of the digestive and nervous system. Niacin has shown to improve the epidermis, the upper most layer of the skin to retain moisture while nicotinamide, when applied topically reveals softer, smoother skin with less dryness and flakiness and reduction of fine lines.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): Pantothenic acid is needed to mobilize carbohydrate, protein, fats and alcohol and helps to produce red blood cells and steroidal hormones. "Vitamin B 5 has shown the capability to reduce oil formation and thus, reduces acne formation. It has also become very popular in skin care industry because of its ability to assist in retaining moisture. It helps hydrate and hydrated skin appears plumper, healthier and shows signs of ageing much slower. Vitamin B5 is also needed for healthy growth and production to fight eczema."
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine and pyridoxamine): Pyridoxine is needed for protein and carbohydrate metabolism along with the formation of red blood cells and certain brain chemicals. B6 has also been proven to treat acne.
Vitamin B7 (biotin): Biotin is also needed for energy metabolism along with amino acid, fat and glycogen synthesis. Biotin is required to make skin, hair and nails healthy. It also helps to treat specific skin diseases like seborrhea dermatitis, acne and eczema.
Vitamin B9 (folate or folic acid): Folate is also needed to form red blood cells which carry oxygen around to the different organs in the body. It is also needed in the development of fetal nervous system. Pregnant women need high amount of Folate in their diet.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): Vitamin B12 helps the body to absorb essential mineral iron which is necessary for healthy hair, skin, and strong nails. It helps improve mood, boost energy, prevent aging, and treat Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin C has been thought for many years to treat the common cold and support immune health. Back in the day, traveler's were said to have gotten "scurvy" which is a disease based around the lack of vitamin C consumption. Vitamin C is found in many citrus fruits and foods and can also be taken orally in pill form and used topically in creams and serums. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C known as ascorbic acid and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for the health of skin cells. In some studies, vitamin C has shown to help prevent and treat ultraviolet (UV)-induced photo damage and highly effective at reducing free radical damage, such as that caused by overexposure to the sun or pollution. Vitamin C has also been known to regulate the production of collagen in the skin. Increasing the amount of vitamin C in the diet can contribute to improved skin health and faster healing.
Most people associate vitamin D with the sun, milk, cheese, egg yolks, and fish and know it to be a crucial component in strong, healthy bones and teeth. Although vitamin D is not known to treat wrinkles or prevent acne, It is however an extremely important element in your daily vitamin intake. In recent years, Ultraviolet light therapy and vitamin D creams are widely prescribed treatments for psoriasis.
Vitamin E is a commonly known vitamin as well as antioxidant to benefit skin health. Vitamin E helps to repairs damaged cells, rid the body of free radicals and reduce wrinkles and premature aging. When combined with vitamin A, vitamin E is especially effective at preventing certain skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma by 70%
Vitamin K is typically a lesser known but very important component in healthy skin. Vitamin K can be taken orally or used topically, however most of the time, is used topically. Vitamin K promotes healthy blood, blood clotting, and reduces fine lines and wrinkled as well as those stubborn black under-eye circles. People who have vitamin K deficiency might wrinkle easier or have a harder time absorbing the vitamin.
Zinc is a metallic trace element. It is commonly found in sunscreen and plays an important role in protecting your skin from UV rays. Very minimal amounts of zinc are needed for human health, However, Zinc has used for boosting the immune system, treating the common cold and recurrent ear infections, preventing lower respiratory infections and even assisting with down syndrome, and dandruff. Zinc take be taken orally or used topically to treat acne, aging skin, herpes simplex infections, and to speed wound healing. Zinc treats acne by helping to reduce the amount of natural oil, or sebum, produced in the skin and could also help heal damaged skin around acne that does develop. One article even referred to zinc as " a 24-hour, on-call skin mechanic. It helps repair damaged tissues and heal wounds."

Apple Ships DVD Studio Pro 2.0New release gets workflow and feature enhancements
DVD Studio Pro 2.0 is a completely revamped version of Apple's DVD authoring suite, using underlying technologies from Spruce, a developer of DVD authoring technologies Apple acquired back in 2001. The new version includes customizable templates, a new menu editor, timeline-based track editing, new user interface and a new software-based MPEG-2 encoder.
Its new user interface is designed to get users of other Apple products, such as iDVD, up and running quickly. It includes a new outline view, enhanced asset information and the timeline-based track editor. The new timeline track-editing functionality is based on the timeline in Final Cut Pro, providing a linear view of clips, audio and other assets, with support for nine camera angles, eight audio tracks and 32 subtitle tracks. Version 2 also gains integration features with other Apple software, including Final Cut Pro, with support for chapter markers and the ability to import and encode Final Cut Pro reference movies in the background.
DVD Studio Pro 2's new menu editor allows users to create menus by dragging and dropping content. It includes support for context-sensitive drop palettes for linking to new tracks and allows users to build slideshows and automatically build chapter indexes in one step. A built-in compositing engine in DVD Studio Pro 2 allows users to edit text directly in the menu editor and make changes to font styles and button graphics without leaving the application.
The software also includes Compressor, a batch transcoding tool that comes bundled with DVD Studio Pro 2 and Final Cut Pro 4, which allows users to batch and export directly to multiple formats, including MPEG-2 for DVD or any supported QuickTime format. Compressor includes watermarking, real-time preview and 30 filters and effects.
For performance, Apple says says that DVD Studio Pro sees dramatic speed improvements when running on the G5, though at this point there are no specific optimizations for the upcoming G5 machines.
DVD Studio Pro 2.0 is available now for $499 for the full version, $199 for upgrades. (Apple's online store has also been update to include the new upgrade requirements.) For more information, visit http://www.apple.com/dvdstudiopro.

Thomas Cook Group's eCommerce websites were developed and run as decentralised islands throughout the major TC operating countries. There was no common platform, and no centralised business or IT strategy for the web channel. As a result, Thomas Cook were faced with a number of constraints for its aspirations to grow the web channel across the group.
The cost of operating multiple development, test and production infrastructures was very high and the development teams were hampered by delay, with new capacity or change often taking weeks and months to realise.
The testing teams were also struggling with inconsistencies between test and production platforms increasing the risk of deployment and release cycle period unacceptably.
Finally the production web site was plagued by extended outages sometimes lasting days, and often very poor performance with page loads often exceeding 1 minute. Firefighting site and infrastructure issues was getting in the way of improving the web site for visitors.
In September 2010 CatN was engaged to support a small-scale skunkworks project within Thomas Cook with rapidly deployed development infrastructure. The first network and server footprint was up and running in around 24 hours, immediately unlocking the development teams.
CatN's responsive, hands-on support enabled Thomas Cook to develop new features and improve performance of the whole site very quickly. Within just a few months Thomas Cook had migrated thomascook.de and thomascook.fr to the new infrastructure at CatN providing significantly increased performance and functionality to visitors of those sites.
Thanks to resounding success in consolidating the German and French production web sites, just a year later in October 2011 Thomas Cook instructed CatN to populate a second data centre using the new reference architecture, with adequate capacity for January peaks on thomascook.com.
Within just 10 weeks CatN delivered a scaled-up production platform, which …
consolidated the majority of Thomas Cook's online eCommerce and website operations, including development, testing and production platforms. Specifically this includes the flagship www.thomascook.com website and the sister sites for France, Germany and Netherlands, along with smaller sites such as Airtours and Direct Holidays – over thirty sites in total serving over 12 million unique visitors per month.
CatN's responsiveness was key to the successful migration of over 60% of our eCommerce traffic and sites to a single consolidated platform. The end result was a much improved service quality approaching "5 Nines", a single codebase and all consolidation targets met with >60% cost savings.
We have been able to move multiple extra web sites onto the platform which were not originally planned and this flexibility made a major contribution to our cost savings.

Interim Head of Infrastructure, Thomas Cook Online

Springing from my bed
Bare feet stepping on old braided rug,
Washed up and shaved at 2:00 am
I scream in strained silence
In the oily black house,
Nerves taut
Like the strings on my guitar--
Fearful for what might be,
Dreading what might be
Happening to my body,
Happening to me.
I'm not ready to be old;
I'm less ready to die.
Along down my unwashed New Jersey window,
The rain swarms like fire bugs
In the light from the vague street lamp
In the slate-gray New Jersey sky.
I listen to the whining of tires
On the slick, wet roads.
I hear the rain, now,
As a living thing, hunting me,
Pounding on my roof and walls,
Demanding entrance to my overbooked brain,
Now streaming down the window panes
Like tiny flash floods.
My mind whirls from lack of sleep,
And I wonder, half-aloud,
How many sunrises do I have left?
The day sweeps by in fits and naps,
And all too soon
It's late at night, again,
The television is on, reminding me
That no matter what car I buy
Or what brand of beer I drink
There's no one beside me.
A wave of guilt rolls across me,
Prickling me with icy fingers.
The front door is closed and locked.
As always, I'm here alone.
I seek solace in my books of poetry
and manuscripts of my own precious poems,
caught up in my too-short life
like a fever.
I pace the floors,
wander into the bedroom,
smile down at my sleeping wife,
her face silver in the wan moonlight,
linger awhile,
and wander barefoot through
the empty house,
eating a bowl of ice cream as I go.
And I hear the wind come up,
lashing through trees and flowers,
pressing on the house itself--
the rain again, the endless rain,
like bullets hammering against the glass
and roof
and walls
and brains
and the bare steel sheath
of the window mount AC.
I'm inside a drum.
It's all through me,
I can't escape.
I flop onto the sofa
pressing my hands against my ears,
quoting scriptures and poems,
anything I can remember
to drown out the incessant noises
the scrambled voices from my weary
but wide awake brain.
Control slowly slipping.
Arpeggios of pounding rain
feed those voices echoing in my mind,
a sanctum less and less my own,
dragging fragments of thoughts
around my head
faster and faster
like the Daytona Speedway.
I lay back and look up at the ceiling.
One of us is going round in circles.
I sit up, rocking to and fro, to and fro.
There's nothing left.
The border is crossed.
I'm losing my grip.
Hot tears flow unbidden.
Again, without sound or words,
I scream.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - She's been a TV news producer, a mute piano playing bride and a Texas cheerleader-murdering mom.
But for the last three years, Holly Hunter, 52, has played a gutsy, Oklahoma cop with a last chance angel on cable network TNT's drama series, "Saving Grace", which begins its final season on March 29th.
Hunter's acclaimed performance as Detective Grace Hanadarko has earned her two Emmy nominations and three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
Reuters spoke to the Oscar-winning actress of 1993 movie "The Piano" about the TV show's final episodes, life after Grace and guardian angels.
Q: "Saving Grace" creator, Nancy Miller, has promised that the final nine episodes of the show will be "a wild and exciting ride." Without spilling the beans, what's in store for fans this season?
A: "I think it's great for the writers and actors to know this is the final season. It offers an opportunity to bring the show to a conclusion and it helps with how you're going to get there. The worst would have been to have the plug pulled and told to pack your stuff and get out...We had five episodes to really hone how we wanted the show to end and I think it's going to be exciting and unpredictable for viewers."
Q: How did you prepare to play an intense, fearless, cynical, sexy cop? Is Detective Grace Hanadarko based on anyone in particular?
A: "I think Grace is part of the imagination. The fact that she is a cop is perfect. She's there to serve. I think the best police officers are there to serve. That's their main initiative in wanting to be a police officer and that's certainly true with Grace.
"But I also believe that Grace likes to live in a slightly dangerous place and being a cop affords her that chance. By nature, she's a bit of a dangerous women. She's unpredictable. She likes leading a secret life and she's ultimately alone. Even though she has a fantastic best friend and she's a great family member in many ways, I still think she's a loner at heart."
Q: In "Saving Grace", Grace has this scruffy, unconventional, tobacco-spitting angel shadowing her. Do you believe in guardian angels?
A: "I think that we all have angels in our lives. The gifts that you are given in your life are often given by a mentor, a parent, a teacher or someone who loves you very much. Sometimes animals are angels of a kind. People feel saved by animals. People feel saved by children. And in these ways I think angels exist."
Q: You've done stage, film, TV. How does the preparation differ for these mediums?
A: "It's great to be able to have the engagement of different forms to keep myself from being bored. Television offers its own set of challenges that plays and films don't, which is the challenge of the work load and how unstoppable it seems. You get on the ride and you have to be ready to take it."
Q: What will you miss most about playing Grace?
A: "I love what Grace finds funny. I love the camaraderie with my fellow cops, my fellow cast members, my angel, my best friend. I've loved working with this amazing ensemble of actors."
Q: So what do you want to be when you grow up? No seriously, if you weren't an actor you'd be....?
A: "A mom."
Q: "Saving Grace" offers viewers a myriad of timely and provocative storylines and themes. What message do you hope viewers will take away from the series?
A: "I did the series predominantly to ask questions. I really wanted to ask great questions of what it means to be alive. I wanted to explore the confrontations and conflicts that people face in friendships, relationships of love and families and the relationship you have with yourself, and just how difficult that can be. And how hard it is to forgive yourself and how hard it is to forgive others. These are kind of the things I wanted to explore as Grace."
