The Google Maps were loading fine for the Events on http://www.irishjgaclub.ie using 5.5 and older versions but have now stopped on update to 5.5.1.
The update from WP 3.6 to 3.6.1 hasn't helped and the issue is across a range of browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Chrome) so I guess its a conflict with the other Plugins on the site. (These include Exec-PHP and Google Libraries)
The Search function isn't needed as there are only limited Events so is it possible to roll back to 5.5?

The mobile phone market is seeing some of the poorest sales in recent history with demand for products dropping in many segments of the mobile phone industry. The only segment of the mobile phone industry that is predicted to show strong growth this year is the high-end smartphone market.
The fourth largest mobile phone maker in the world -- Sony Ericsson -- has announced that it will see a massive loss for the quarter with barely half of the handsets sold this quarter as it was able to move in the quarter before.
The announcement by Sony Ericsson sent shares across the wireless sector into a downward spiral reports Reuters. Sony Ericsson expects to sell only 14 million phones in the quarter spanning January to March and cites weak demand and retailers cutting inventories as reasons for the massive decline.
Jari Honko from eQ Bank told Reuters, "Investors are questioning the whole market now, even though I think the issue for Sony Ericsson is more company specific."
Sony Ericcson wasn't alone in announcing declines in sales and shipments -- Palm announced that it was going to see a larger loss than originally reported over the December to February quarter. Revenues for the quarter declined 70% from one year ago according to Palm. Analyst Carolina Milanesi from Gartner said, "The market, overall, continues to be very challenging." Sony Ericsson announced in January that it would cut 5,000 jobs.
The massive losses from mobile phone manufacturers spilled over into fears for the chipmakers building the processors for the mobile phone market. Infineon shares dropped 6.6% and STMicro dropped 5% after the announcements by Sony Ericsson and Palm.
Sony Ericsson is expected to announce a pretax loss of $459 million to $526 million for the quarter. Analyst Greger Johansson from Redeye noted, "It's a real catastrophe. Those are very big losses and they are probably losing a lot of market share. It's obvious that the volumes are much lower than the market had thought. And first and foremost, the losses are much, much bigger."
Sony Ericsson is biggest in the mid-range mobile phone market with integrated cameras. This is one of the segments hardest hit with the current global economy according to Reuters. Analysts expect sales of high-end smartphones to continue to rise as other segments in the category fall. The predicted growth rate for high-end devices is 10% to 20% in 2009.
Qualcomm's Jing Wang told Reuters, "Consumer demand for higher-end smartphones remains strong as the demand for wireless Internet, multimedia, and value-added services continues to grow." He continued saying, "While inventories have contracted, global 3G adoption is continuing to grow as subscribers migrate from second-generation to third-generation networks and manufacturers are shipping more 3G devices this year than last year."

"Produce More with Less" – Jimmy Smith on Transforming Smallholder Livestock Systems
Thu, 09/18/2014 - 09:58 — Pramila Thapa
"It's about making livestock systems more sustainable," Jimmy Smith said about the research undertaken by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). Speaking at the Tropentag conference this year in Prague, Smith stressed that smallholder livestock producers can meet the growing demand of animal products in developing countries. What is required, however, is a system transformation. In order to be sustainable, such a transformation would result increased productivity with limited resources, or in Smith's words, "producing more with less." As
one of the opening keynote speakers
Smith honoured ILRI's 40th anniversary by providing a historical overview of humanity's move from hunter-gathers to raising domestic livestock and cultivating crops. The main driver are rapidly growing population and diminishing resources. These challenges continue today. Thomas Malthus first projected in the 18th century that human population would quickly outstrip the planet's resource supply. Smith made the valid point that Malthusian theory misses technology and appropriate agricultural technology. And such technology is very important to feed a growing population increasing demand for livestock products. Moreover, Smith argued that the Green Revolution had little to do with livestock. Hence, there are still great strides to be made in improving the productivity and management practices of the sector. Predominantly composed of smallholders, developing countries actually have considerable capacity to address domestic food and nutrition insecurity with access to new knowledge. Transformation of smallholder animal agriculture is possible by connecting the farmer to value chain actors and livestock technicians, who can transfer the knowledge developed in research institutions. Particularly considering the greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation caused by suboptimal livestock systems, Smith noted the essential role improved animal breeds and feed play in achieving long-term sustainability. What we need now is the next "agricultural revolution" – one for livestock. Such transformation has the great potential to lead to a more nourished, healthier, environmentally sound planet.

After the anticlimactic Floyd Mayweather v. Manny Pacquiao match, the judges announced a unanimous decision that Mayweather was the victor.
Underwhelmed. Waited 5-6 years, and this is what the world got. #PacquiaoMayweather — The UST Files (@TheUSTF)
May 3, 2015
"I thought I won. . ." Pacquiao said.
In a press conference following the fight, Pacquiao said be believed he fought a good fight considering his shoulder injury.
"It's part of the game," Pacquiao said. "I don't want to make alibis or complain or anything ... [but] it's hard to fight one-handed."
Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum were vague on the details of the injury but ESPN reports they considered postponing the bout a few weeks ago. Arum claimed it was the "same injury Kobe Bryant had."
. . .Is that the official diagnosis? Kobe Bryant tore his rotator cuff earlier this year, but it was not clear whether that was the injury Arum was referring to.
"I thought he fought a courageous fight under all the circumstances, and I'm very proud of what he accomplished tonight," Arum said.
Pacquiao was denied an anti-inflammatory shot in the locker room before the fight. A chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission blamed Pacquiao for not informing them of the injury sooner.
For the fans who were disappointed that Mayweather won, here is a vine to fixate on for your mourning process.

The substance is jelly just like gel! My first impression was also it looks like gel.. After trying out at my hand I dared to slush it on my face. It also smells like gel or shaving cream. You have to love it. Some described it as a fruity smell..
What does the gel promises? 'With snail slime essence, enriched with Aloe Vera.Prevend acne, fade wrinkels, scars etc. Suitable for men and women. And every skin type.' Further it's also paraben-free. Hmm it promises pretty much. Time to try it out!
It's easy to spread and it doens't leave a fat layer or something. It feels refreshing on my skin, I like it. I use it after cleansing my skin and before my day cream because the gel dries a bit out especially on my cheeks.
(I have a combined skin type with a T-zone and 'normal' cheeks)
The good thing is that it fills fine lines and it also makes my skin matt. I'm only not really sure about that promise 'fade scars.' And there's one thing.. my skin is really oily and can't handle anything what is a little bit aggressive. And the gel is, after using a couple of days I have had a mini break put on my face. Or maybe it's my new cleansing milk and day cream, what I'm testing right now. I'm not really sure about that. I'll post a update.
After using
If you don't have a sensitive skin for aggressive stuff it probably would work.
The snail slime contains 250 ml and costs €3,99

Carrie is American author Stephen King's first published novel, released in 1974. Carrie is an epistolary novel.
This book revolves around the titular character Carrie, a shy high-school girl, who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who tease her. King has commented that he finds the work to be raw and with a surprising power to hurt and horrify. It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools. Much of the book is written in an epistolary structure, through newspaper clippings, magazine articles, letters, and excerpts from books.

Carrie is based on a composite of two girls Stephen King went to school with.
She was a very peculiar girl who came from a very peculiar family. Her mother wasn't a religious nut like the mother in Carrie; she was a game nut, a sweepstakes nut who subscribed to magazines for people who entered contests … the girl had one change of clothes for the entire school year, and all the other kids made fun of her. I have a very clear memory of the day she came to school with a new outfit she'd bought herself. She was a plain-looking country girl, but she'd changed the black skirt and white blouse – which was all anybody had every seen her in – for a bright-colored checkered blouse with puffed sleeves and a skirt that was fashionable at the time. And everybody made worse fun of her because nobody wanted to see her change the mold.
King says he wondered what it would have been like to have been raised by such a mother, and based the story itself on a reversal of the Cinderella fairy tale. He also told biographer George Beahm that the girl later...
...married a man who was as odd as her, had kids, and eventually killed herself.

The outcome of a recent probe into the shocking embezzlement at the IT firm, is proof that despite regular affirmations, India Inc has neglected elementary monitoring practices
Last week, The Hindu BusinessLine front-paged a report "Embezzlement at Wipro; Probe blames lack of internal controls" (17 November 2010). The matter involved an employee who had been working in the controllership division of the company's finance department for about three years till the theft was discovered in December last year. The employee is believed to have embezzled about $4 million by stealing a password and transferring money from one of Wipro's bank accounts.
The BusinessLine reported that an independent legal counsel appointed by the IT major to look into the matter had found that lack of internal controls in the company had led to the embezzlement committed between November 2006 and December 2009. The external counsel was engaged on the advice of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC).
Based on the finding of the legal counsel, Wipro suggested that if corrections were to be carried out to the published annual financial results, in view of the "mis-statements identified during the probe" together with other "uncorrected audit adjustments", profit-after-tax for 2009-10 would have been higher by 2.1% or approximately Rs92 crores.
Wipro is reported to have informed the US SEC that its audit panel has concluded that mistakes were committed in accounting entries and that they were also not supported by any documents. Weaknesses identified related to sharing of online banking access passwords and Wipro's internal accounting system passwords by certain employees within the finance and accounting departments, including those responsible for external financial reporting,
The company admitted there was lack of effective controls over recording of journal entries, including inadequate documentation which resulted in ineffective controls over bank reconciliation statements, exchange rate fluctuation accounts, outstanding liabilities accounts, and lack of timely and adequate reconciliation and review of period and end reinstatement of foreign currency inter-company and unit balances including the recording of appropriate adjustments. There was also insufficient segregation of duties with respect to recording and initiating banking payments.
Wipro conceded in its disclosure to the US SEC, "We and our independent registered public accounting firm also identified the lack of internal controls that gave rise to the embezzlement and the financial statement mis-statements as material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting."
The amount of Rs92 crores may not be considered "material" in routine audit parlance in a multi-crore company such as Wipro, to warrant reporting "extra-ordinary transactions" in the annual accounts, either by way of a note on the accounts, or qualifications from auditors, or a mention in corporate governance. But a reference in small print about an inquiry would not serve the same purpose.
This is a clear-cut case of a very carefully thought out, long-drawn fraud that certainly is not the handiwork of a solitary employee-player, but the result of active connivance of more than a number of employees working in collusion at every level in the organization, who breached the company's internal control system by taking advantage of the lacunae or the lack of monitoring. The embezzlement did not happen in a single financial year, but was spread out over a period of three years, and should not have escaped the attention of auditors if it was committed by an individual.
It is not surprising that the theft was carried out by tampering with known and common fraud-prone areas of reconciliation of bank accounts as well as relatively less operated/scrutinized accounts like outstanding liabilities, exchange rate fluctuations, inter-unit and company balances. Note that the company mentions "lack of timely and adequate reconciliation and review of period and end reinstatement of foreign currency, inter-company and unit balances including recording of appropriate adjustments." It also says that "segregation of duties with respect to recording and initiating banking payments was found insufficient". How does one account for the absence of built-in checks and controls that are an essential requirement for any enterprise, large or small? If at all well-documented procedures and practices were in place, where did these fail?
The disclosure of "material weaknesses in the internal controls" is a frank admission of the absence or disregard for monitoring through an elementary internal control system with appropriate accounting care and standard operating procedures, such as duly laid down authorisation levels, insistence of appropriate supports for accounting entries (like the journal entries that are recorded by debiting one account and crediting another), and mandatory periodic segregation as well as rotation of duties. This happened despite the solemn affirmations to the contrary contained in the certification of the CFO/CEOs and Corporate Governance Report, as also in internal and statutory audit reports that have, year-after-year declared the existence of internal control systems. This instance may be just the tip of the iceberg, with more than a few such frauds likely to be discovered, that's if they have not been suppressed already by company managements, to protect their lily-white images even after the whistle is blown!
Take the declaration by Ratan Tata recently that he did not want to go to bed thinking he had to pay a bribe, while Rahul Bajaj states that every industrialist pays bribes. Which begs the question, where are these payments accounted, or how do they remain unaccounted? Though the amounts may not compare with the unimaginable figures being estimated in the 2G spectrum allocation scam, it is an endemic malaise. Is there any regulator who will look into this? Will it be the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India that will look into the internal and statutory audits, or the ministry for corporate affairs and/or the Securities and Exchange Board of India for violations of corporate governance, or will they remain mere listing requirement checklists to be ticked before sign-off?

PJ Thomas has been made chief vigilance commissioner despite the apex court questioning his appointment. He is accused in a graft case. But our Attorney General has gone on record saying that "impeccable integrity" is not an eligibility criterion for appointment of the CVC. Go figure
The current CVC of India, PJ Thomas, has been appointed to this post-when allegations of corruption against him have not yet been cleared.
The process of his appointment was itself controversial.
Moneylife has in its possession documents detailing the coronation of Mr Thomas, made available to us by activist Subhash Chandra Agrawal, who obtained them through the RTI (Right To Information) Act. The documents reveal the bureaucratic approvals leading up to the appointment of Mr Thomas.
On 3rd September, prime minister Manmohan Singh, home minster P Chidambaram and Sushma Swaraj of the BJP (in her capacity as leader of Opposition, Lok Sabha) met to finalise the CVC's appointment. Ms Swaraj disagreed to the appointment of Mr Thomas as CVC, but the detailed proceedings of the same have not been provided to Mr Agrawal, apart from the note recording the Opposition leader's dissent.
On 9th November, the Supreme Court asked the already-beleaguered Centre whether the criterion of being an "outstanding civil servant" was met when Mr Thomas was appointed as CVC.
Now why is Mr Thomas in the eye of a storm? He was secretary, department of telecommunications, during A Raja's now-infamous tenure.
In addition, the Comptroller and Auditor General had exposed a case of palmolein imports into Kerala from Malaysia during the early 1990s; Mr Thomas is an accused in this scandal. It involves the alleged import of this commodity at an exorbitant rate, causing a loss of Rs2 crore to the state exchequer.
On 17th December, the court of the enquiry commissioner and Special Judge (Vigilance) at Thiruvananthapuram will conduct proceedings into the case.
With due respect to the various statutory bodies involved in the appointment of the current CVC, does Mr Thomas fit the bill?
On top of this, the Centre (on 23rd November) defended the selection of the CVC before the Supreme Court (SC) by stating that "impeccable integrity" was not an eligibility criterion for appointment of the CVC.
These words were from Attorney General (AG) GE Vahanvati before an SC bench comprising Chief Justice SH Kapadia and Justices KS Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar.
The AG made this statement after being constantly grilled by the apex bench on how an accused could get the top post of a CVC.
We needn't add anything more. "Impeccable integrity" is not needed if you want to head the topmost corruption watchdog.
The only saving grace is: If we are already plumbing such abysmal moral depths, we just can't sink any deeper.
For the record, according to the official Indian government website (http://cvc.nic.in/CVC_power.htm), following are just a few 'powers and functions' of a CVC.
A CVC has the power:
1) To undertake an inquiry or cause an inquiry or investigation to be made into any transaction in which a public servant working in any organisation, to which the executive control of the Government of India extends, is suspected or alleged to have acted for an improper purpose or in a corrupt manner;
2) To tender independent and impartial advice to the disciplinary and other authorities in disciplinary cases, involving vigilance angle at different stages i.e. investigation, inquiry, appeal, review etc.;
3) To exercise a general check and supervision over vigilance and anti-corruption work in Ministries or Departments of the Govt of India and other organisations to which the executive power of the Union extends.
To cut a long job description short, the CVC has got to ensure that corruption is weeded out of the country.

Why? Why must I do this to myself? What makes him so interesting, and why am I unable to walk away? I know that this isn't right, I know that this place reeks of mischievous intent, and I know that I stand before a bastion of chaos. Order drives all things. Order has brought Equestria to peace for over five hundred years now. Order will win out, and erase the memory of the twisted fool before me, scattering his ideals and essence to the four winds.
…So why do I long for a taste of chaos? Why am I drawn here , night after night, to stand and stare at the statue of the only being I can honestly claim to hate? Why?
Celestia stood, as she had been doing so often lately, mere feet from the frozen form of Discord. The shroud of night concealed her presence from those who would approach her and show concern or trepidation at her secret meetings. The last thing that the princess needed was for somepony to find out about her increasingly frequent visits to the draconequus encased in stone, and assume that she was losing her grip. Tension among the nobles had reached an all-time high, and Celestia found it harder and harder to deal with as time went on. She needed a break, something new, something unexpected, something fun. And so she had come to him.
The princess made no movement, scowling at the hodgepodge body of the creature before her. I hate him. Even after all of this time, even after accepting everypony else on this planet with unfaltering love, I hate him.
"What were you thinking? What did you hope to accomplish? You must have known that you could not win, that your resistance made no sense when we gained control of the Elements of Harmony! You stood no chance, and yet you resisted! You were content to watch this world burn, claiming to rule it and doing nothing of the sort! Who do you think you are, Discord! What right did you have to control this land!"
The same right that you have now, my lovely little alicorn.
Celestia's eyes widened, and she backed away from the statue before her as his voice echoed inside of her head. Though her late night ranting in front of the statue had been going on for over a month, she had never before heard him reply. I must not be sleeping enough, he cannot talk to me from in there! It's bad enough that I feel the need to speak at him, hearing a reply is just… absolutely impossible. There's no way that he can respond…
Oh, you aren't hallucinating, if that's what you're thinking. I can hear you loud and clear, Little Tia. But where is Little Lulu? Someplace… safe?
The fur on the back of Celestia's neck bristled in anger. She was never one to lose her cool, with the exception of being in the presence of Discord. In the five centuries since his defeat, she had never been able to figure out why he was able to rile her in such a way, but she was keenly aware of his ability to do so. She took a step forward, aiming her horn forward and leveling it at the statue in an aggressive stance as her face twisted into a sneer.
"What do you know? How can I bring her back? Answer me!"
Ohohohoho! I know only what you tell me. Or do I?
Celestia stomped a hoof into the dirt angrily. "Enough! I will not play games with you, you wretch! If you know how to reverse the spell, reveal your secrets! Start making sense!"
Oh, but I do so love games. And what's the fun in making sense…
The alicorn's temper was rapidly reaching a boiling point, and she felt that she was seconds away from giving the statue an undignified buck and shattering it completely.
"Do not speak in circles to me! I know you well enough to know that you're hiding something! Why else would you talk now, after having been silent for so long? The four hundredth anniversary of her banishment is tonight, and I doubt that your actions are coincidence!"
Banishment? Am I correct in assuming this is your doing, then? Have you made another mistake, and now seek help from Daddy Discord? Oh, silly Celly, what toy did you break this time? Have you made a mess that you need an adult to clean up for you, dear?
Celestia completely lost control. She turned, and slammed her hind hooves into the statue as hard as she could, hoping to shatter the stone figure that dared mock her plight. The statue showed no damage for her efforts, and a sickening laugh resonated inside of her skull, causing her to drop to her knees as her entire head throbbed.
You didn't truly think it would be that easy, did you? After all, you of all ponies should know how… delightfully potent the magic of those cursed Elements can be…
The alicorn rose to her hooves and turned to face him again, snorting and shaking her mane angrily. "So I was correct! You ARE aware of what has happened! You knew what happened to Luna, and you know how to bring her back! TELL ME!"
If you want her so badly, why did you send her away to begin with? That doesn't make any sense at all. I love it.
Celestia closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths. Speaking with Discord was much more infuriating than she had remembered it to be, and her stomach turned at the realization of just how easily he could pull her strings. Remain in control. Play his little game. You've controlled a country through order and love, it should be no problem to control him. Rein in your emotions, and deal with this diplomatically. She opened her eyes, and stared up at his frozen face.
"I will admit, I made a mistake. I did not know that the Elements would send her to the moon, nor did I know that they would seal her inside of it for a thousand years. You were the previous master of the Elements, and though I loathe to admit it, I need your help. Please, tell me how to bring her back…"
Bring her back? Oh, but what of your precious order? Would unleashing Nightmare Moon upon Equestria once again not subvert every effort for peace that you have made thus far? As much as I'd like to see the skies rain orange juice and the ground torn asunder with geysers of shaving cream, I somehow think the particular brand of chaos that your possessed sister would bring wouldn't do much to help either of us. And do you really think I would help you without wanting something in return?
"Yes, actually, I do. Because that would make no sense at all, and that is your style."
Another long laugh resonated inside of her mind, and Celestia had to actively focus to stay standing.
Well, well, well. Perhaps you're starting to understand after all. Alright, I'll help you, because it will amuse me. Here's your tip: she can't come back before her time is up, and even if she could, it wouldn't be up to you to make it happen.
Celestia looked past him, taking in the fireflies that played among the hedges of her private gardens. She began to count them as she shook with rage and grief, trying her absolute best not to let herself explode at him again. Finally, with a quavering voice, she spoke.
"That… that is a lie. The Elements of Harmony can do anything. They defeated you, they defeated Nightmare Moon, and they now serve me. How can you say that they cannot bring her back?"
Simple. The Elements of Harmony aren't harmonious at all, unless they are used properly. When they're brought together by someone who cannot control them completely, the Elements themselves exert their own will, and become a force of unified chaos. You would have to be a fool to seek to control them alone. Why do you think I wanted them so badly?
Celestia snorted. "Because you're a fool."
Bingo. But not only that, I LOVE chaos. I knew that I couldn't control them, and that was fine with me. I was perfectly happy to watch them disturb the natural order under my lacking supervision. Nothing is more fun than not knowing, am I right? Even if you and I were on the same side, and we had Little Luna with us, I doubt that the three of us could control the Elements even if we took two each. You'd need six entities of pure heart, and even then, they'd have to possess unshakeable will to even think of using their Elements as intended. But since that sounds just about impossible, you'll have to hand them over to me again, and let me shuffle this world around like a puzzle with pieces that just don't fit together. C'mon, it'll be fun!
The princess couldn't believe what she was hearing. She sat down upon her haunches, and her mouth hung open. It took a long time for her to vocalize the words racing through her mind, but she finally found them.
"Are you… implying that the Elements of Harmony were responsible for the absolute chaos of your rule? That your tyranny wasn't even intentional, that you merely gathered the gems and let them run wild as you tapped their raw power alone for your own sick amusement?"
It sucks that I'm frozen in this pose, I feel like I should be checking off a score card. You're racking up major points tonight, friend. I'm surprised you're understanding this so well!
Celestia rose, her voice raising to volumes that she hadn't used since the sealing of the draconequus to begin with.
His voice became deliberate and laced with venom, his speech pattern slowing to add the most gravity he could to his next statement.
Is that what your father told you? Funny, he wasn't nearly so articulate right before I stole his life.
"SHUT UP!" she roared, removing her crown and hurling it at his stone face. Discord merely laughed louder, before he stopped abruptly and his tone adopted an icy bite to it.
And you see, Celly, th-
Celestia's demands devolved into a fully-fledged tantrum as she screamed at him, stomping the dirt and dislodging one of her golden shoes. She was breathing heavily, and her pastel mane hung in strands around her face as she began to sweat. She glared at the male, daring him to oppose her, but knowing all the same that if he did, she could do nothing to stop him.
Fine, fine, Princess Killjoy von Nofun. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted…
He paused to make a sound of clearing his throat in a wholly unnecessary display, simply to anger Celestia further.
The difference between you and I, is that we both understand nothing, yet I am willing to admit it, and you are not. I don't have the slightest clue how to bring Short Stuff back, but I guarantee you that if I could, I would. Well, provided I wasn't frozen here like some lawn ornament.
Her breathing leveled out, and she mentally cursed him as she began to cry tears of frustration and despair. The stress of ruling on her own had been getting to her lately, and Discord's taunting and doublespeech was only serving to break her down further.
"And why should I believe you?"
"You shouldn't."
"Then why bother talking at all?"
How should I know? You came to me.
Celestia paused. The most infuriating thing about him was that sometimes, he was right.
"…Discord." She sniffled, wiping her eyes with a hoof. She hated to cry, in private or public, and couldn't believe she had gotten to that point in front of her hated rival. "Answer me one thing, honestly. Please, just… give me your real opinion. Just this once."
If I had control of my eyebrows, I would be raising them, my rather large pony. I like the unexpected though, so perhaps I'll indulge you, just this once. Ask away.
Celestia breathed deeply, and turned away from him. She spoke softly, her words carried to his imprisoned ears by the swirling night breeze.
"Was it… my fault?"
What, messing up the laws so badly with your totally incompetent rule, encasing me in stone, putting too much hay in your last sandwich, or sending Luna to the moon? Details, Princess.
"You know what I am asking. Do not make me repeat myself."
Fine, fine. You're really boring, you know. When I break out of here, we're going to have some fun, I can guarantee that. I didn't promise to answer your question honestly though. But I suppose since I didn't promise, I'll go ahead and do it.
She turned back toward him, gazing up at his spread arms and open jaw, sniffling.
No. It wasn't entirely your fault. Sure, you just wanted to send her away for a little while, but no one could have predicted that the Elements would banish her for a thousand years. There, are you happy?
"I… I don't know."
Excellent. I'd hate to be labeled as 'good' or 'evil'. Even 'helpful' would be insulting. Now, hurry up and free me, and let's run this place into the ground.
Celestia wasn't sure that she had heard him correctly. "Excuse me? You want me to free you? What reason could you possibly have to believe I would do such a thing?"
Pretend I'm sighing and shaking my head at you. Haven't you learned that I don't do reason? I figured it would be worth a shot. You never know, right?
Celestia laughed involuntarily before she caught herself and stopped. "You're hopeless."
And you aren't?
"Who are you to judge?"
Who am I, indeed. Join me, Celestia. Break me out of here with your magic, and rule at my side. You know that your vision of a perfect world is impossible, so why not stop clinging so desperately to rigid order and have a little fun…
"Join you? Ha!" Her anger began to resurface, and she felt the sensation of pins and needles rush across her entire body. "I have no desire to free you, let alone bend to your twisted theology."
Oh, I do not believe that is true. I can see your thoughts, oh Princess. I know that you long to experiment with a little bit of anarchy, that a small part of you wants to throw it all away and start anew without a plan. Ruling alone for so long must be stressful, so allow me to relieve some of that stress…
Celestia gathered her shoe, and slid her hoof back into it. Her tears had stopped, and anger was winning out in its battle against sadness as she began to fume at his words.
"You would seek to help me? I am the one in control, here. You are at my mercy, and you cannot escape without me. Do not act as though I need you!"
Oh, but I think you do. Why is it that you felt the need to return here, night after night, to scream and shout at me even though you believed I couldn't hear? Why do you feel slight comfort in my presence after venting your hatred and blaming all of your problems on me? Is it because it's easy? Because it makes sense? Or because you want something? I can feel your most secret bursts of emotion when you come here, you know. I can feel your sick longing, that little corner of your mind that wants to abandon responsibility and see if I'm right after all. I know that you want me, Celestia, and if you set me free, I would fulfill your every desire…
The sight of the sputtering alicorn before him was almost enough to make Discord burst out laughing. He knew he had caught her, and the blush upon her cheeks spread like wildfire. He continued his mental assault, letting his knowledge of her deepest secret flood her mind like a wave of disease.
That's right, I know that you've been… how would the layponies put it? 'Crushing' on me? Clearly it isn't an emotional connection, because I can feel your burning hatred as well. I like that, a love-hate sort of thing where you just want to play with my body, huh? Or maybe you DO want more, and you know that on some level, I'm right. Chaos runs this world. No matter how much you think you can control, the variables will always be there…
It wasn't his forwardness that bothered her, or even his reading of her thoughts in general. The problem was that he wasn't sugar-coating it, that he knew what he was talking about. Celestia did find him attractive, in a sick, disturbing way, a way that made her stomach grow cold and her mind scream at her heart with all of its might to stop its unhealthy obsession. She couldn't fight the attraction, and was well aware of how wrong it was. If she were to act upon those urges… if she gave in and stood at his side, both for the sake of lust and to try to understand him… the entire world would fall into disorder and ruin. She couldn't be that selfish. She couldn't allow herself to give in to such an embarrassing fantasy. She was stronger than that.
"N-no! I'm not… I-I don't… you have no idea what you're talking about!"
Hmm? Your heart cannot tell lies, oh obstinate one. Your curiosity drives you to desire what you know you cannot have. You're drawn to me like a moth to a flame, knowing the danger, but unable to escape. Come closer into my web, little fly, and let me tell you my sweetest lie…
Sheer panic began to overtake her as she shook her head at him. No, no, no, no, no! Why can he do this to me? The words of no other cause me to feel like this! How can he be so wrong, but so right…
"Stop. Just… stop. This conversation is over. I… I do not think I will be returning here. Enjoy your solitude, Discord, and I shall enjoy mine." She trotted to her crown, taking it in her mouth and levitating it back onto her head as she shivered in disgust at his words. With a final glance at his face, she turned, and began her lonely walk back to the palace.
I do not believe it does end here, Tia Dearest. My influence has an unlimited range, you know. I merely left you alone on a whim… until now. We will talk again soon, and dig deeper into that troubled mind of yours. I'll win in the end, whether it be your heart, mind, or contempt, it doesn't matter to me. After all, when you embrace the incongruity of life, you begin to realize it's all the same…
She closed her eyes as she walked and shook her head.
And that is why I can never allow you to rule. I see the issue of morality, I see the fact that things are different, that each object and situation on this planet needs to have context and be carefully considered. That is the burden of rule, and you are no more fit to rule than a jester. You may entertain for a time, but I cannot abide your craving for insanity. And that is why I hate you. You understand nothing. Perhaps you're right, and I do not either. But... at least I am willing to try to do so…
Touché, my little fangirl. When you're ready to give chaos a shot, I'll be waiting…
Celestia did not bother to respond immediately in her thoughts. If he couldn't save Luna, she would wait out the remaining centuries, doing the best she could on her own.
Then I hope you have the patience of a saint. You'll be waiting a long time.
Perhaps. But I have all the time in the world to let my poison consume you. We'll talk again soon, whether you want to or not. You can only shut me out for so long…
Can't wait. Good night, Discord.
Sleep well, and dream of me, my Darling.
While you can…

COMMENTARY: In Ancient Greece, hemlock was used to execute condemned prisoners, the most famous being the philosopher Socrates. The word itself derives from the Greek word "konas" meaning to whirl about, as its effect is vertigo and death. Hemlock itself is a delicate, small white flower that grows in green grassy fields, and thus we started with this idea as the backdrop for the fragrance, but added black vinyl accord to suggest a wicked black liquid.

URLs totally messed up
For some reason, wordpress is returning a valid page when it most definitely should not. This is screwing up my google listings in a very big way.
For example, let's say:
… is a valid url.
WordPress is also returning any and all of these as valid:
I have 432 pages that are now indexed under the wrong url, tripping duplicate content filters and have lost all pagerank as a result.
I have no idea why this is happening or where it started … I assume with the last upgrade? Any ideas why this is happening? Could it be related to supercache?

Purchase and Redemption Patterns of US Equity Mutual Funds
I decompose net flows into purchase and redemption rates for a sample of equity funds. I find a strong relation between purchase rates and redemption rates indicating a significant clientele of rapid fund traders. I also find that investors punish poor performance with higher redemptions. Over my sample period, index funds display lower redemption rates than do actively managed funds. I find that load fund investors base fund-trading decisions on previous performance to a greater extent than do no-load fund investors. This result suggests that investment advisors and brokers play a significant role in increased mutual fund trading activity.

Mihin Lanka Profit any time soon?
The airline has been plagued by financial losses, debt, waste, corruption and other irregularities since its inception in 2007 is this a profitable venture? I think not as it is the taxpayers money put in to use for yet another prestige project. Mihin being yet another White Elephant which served no purpose since the country already had a national airline and it was also in a severe financial mess.
Mihin Lanka (MJ) was incorporated in October 2006 and began international flights in April the flowing year with a fleet of two wet leased Airbus A320-200 aircraft from the Bulgarian company BH Air was set to operate as a low cost model as a subsidiary of the national carrier SriLankan Airlines.
The aim of Mihin Lanka was to give an opportunity to foreign job seekers and pilgrims to fly to their destinations at a much lower cost, initially flying to scheduled destinations in South India and the Middle East,

Highly Qualified Professional
I've been a patient of Dr. Kostelacs' for about 10 years. She's always very attentive to my concerns and the concerns of my family. She takes an active approach in making sure all our medical needs are met, and doesn't hesitate to refer us for specialty care when needed. I have recommended her to friends and family who are just as happy with her care. Her staff is just is top notch too. You never feel like a stranger in their office. It's tough to find a PCP and a great office staff like this one. I highly recommend Washington Heights Medical Practice for great care.

Ill informed and rude doctor, good staff
The staff is very nice, but the doctor is horrible. When I went to see her she didn't listen to me and refused to explain anything to me. When I had concerns about a medication she got angry. She rushed me through the appointment and did not follow up. I don't know if she doesn't know what she is doing and is defensive about it or if she is just uncaring or both. I strongly recommend seeing someone else. It is a shame that such nice nurses and other staff have to work with her.

I was recently nominated for something called the "Sunshine Award" by Seth over at Vital Vernacular. What an honor it is to be recognized from a fellow blogger! Seth's blog is definitely worth a look–he writes about a variety of intriguing and thought-provoking topics.
Posts may contain affiliate links, which allow me to earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep costs down so that I can continue providing high quality content to you for free. I appreciate your purchase through the links! (full disclosure)
The Sunshine Award is given from one blogger to other bloggers who "are positive and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere." There is no physical award given for this Sunshine Award–it's simply paying it forward by acknowledging those whose writing you admire.
SunShine Award Rules
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Answer the questions from the person who nominated you.
- Pay it forward: Nominate other bloggers for the award.
- Write the same number of questions for the bloggers you have nominated.
- Notify the bloggers you have nominated.
The following are Seth's questions followed by my answers.
1: What inspired you to start blogging?
Blogging came out of my desperation to connect with the world, and a nudge from Mr. TAF. I had been homesteading (growing a lot of our food, preserving the harvest, cooking from scratch, and making our own cleaners and personal care products) for four years, but I felt that most people in my life didn't understand what I was up to on a regular basis.
Starting a blog has allowed me to write about all of the cool things I do around my home, and has empowered me to talk about my lifestyle with more confidence.
I've been able to connect–not only with my own family and friends–but also with others who seek inspiration and aliveness through homestead-type projects. I'm so happy to be able to encourage others on this path by sharing my journey.
2: What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and blogging?
Is there such a thing??? 🙂 I spend the majority of my time doing homestead projects, blogging, or running my local community garden, but there are two things that make me really happy (sorry I can't pick just one):
(1) Chilling out on the couch with Mr. TAF and some old X Files
(2) Learning about and experimenting with permaculture
Basically, geeking out.
3: What is something that nearly everyone could do right now to make our world a better place?
About five things come to mind…so hard to decide on one thing…I'm going to go with:
Plant a tree.
Cliche, I know. But hear me out.
The old saying, 'The best day to plant a tree was yesterday!' has some truth.
Any tree will do, but we could put a little more thought into the types of trees we plant to improve our quality of life, reduce our onslaught of the environment, and increase biodiversity:
Try a fruit- or nut-producing tree, for example, which gives the gift of food. Or try an oak tree, which Doug Tallamy, co-author of The Living Landscape, says is the habitat for the highest number of diverse species…534 species of caterpillars alone.
For those who don't have land on which to plant, there are so many awesome urban tree-planting projects out there to participate in, from community food forests to community shade tree planting efforts.
Being more thoughtful about-and involved in–how we use our urban and suburban spaces can help us to be more aware of how our choices may affect the earth as a whole.
4: How would you describe the last time you felt remarkably awake and alive?
The most alive I've felt recently was walking on the beach during a family vacation. The residual aliveness was probably a combination of earthing, a healthy dose of vitamin D from the sun, and some time away from the daily grind to contemplate life. It reminded me that I don't play nearly often enough.
5: In an ideal world, how would you spend the majority of your time?
I love this question! What would make me the happiest in the world is if I could dedicate the majority of my time to my garden. It never feels like work, and I always long to spend more time there.
6: If you could learn one skill, what would it be?
I would like to be able to play Over the Rainbow on my ukulele. I took lessons a few years ago, but progress was sooooo sloooow. One day I will return to learning this skill, but it's been sidelined for now.
Thanks, Seth, for the engaging questions!

Chicken Wellington
Chicken Wellington with Asparagus and Herbed Cheese
This little dish packs a lot of flavor with the herbed cheese and asparagus. This is also a show stopper for entertaining your friends and family with. By using the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry (my favorite cheat, because making your own puff pastry is a little labor intense) for an easy main dish.
There is nothing like the flaky crust, the cheese that has melted into the crust and chicken, and the light crunch of the asparagus. Pair this dish with a simple side salad and you have your main course done.
This can also be made into bite sized wellingtons, just like I did for the bite sized beef wellington.
You can also inter-change the filling with a Spinach, Pine Nut, and Gruyere filling OR the Spinach, Mushroom and Gruyere filling found here on Delicious Dishes Recipes. Just cut the filling for the recipe in half for four (4) main course chicken wellingtons.
I used the Rondele herbed cheese, there is also another brand, Boursin, that is very similar. Either one will work.
More often than not the chicken breasts are just too big and thick for them to cook all the way through. So I just cut the breast in half.
To add a little color to the chicken I lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken breasts and sear both sides in a hot oiled pan. You just want to get a little color on these bad boys. I hate eating anemic looking chicken and we are adding just a little more flavor by searing the chicken.
Once you have chopped your asparagus, garlic and shallot, sauté in a medium sized pan with one tablespoon butter and one tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Just cook until the shallots are translucent, we don't want to overcook the asparagus. About 5 minutes should do the trick.
On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the puff pastry to get any creases out. Also, to thin out the pastry, we don't want it to be too thick. Then cut into four equal pieces.
Top each piece of the puff pastry with about 2 heaping tablespoons of the herbed cheese and equally divide the asparagus filling among the four pieces.
Bundle together by bringing the opposite corners together, cut or pinch off any extra puff pastry. Make sure that you pinch the puff pastry enclosing the filling fully. We don't want anything to escape while baking.
Place each wellington on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with the egg wash and lightly salt and pepper the top. Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is a deep golden brown.
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half length wise
- 1 bunch of asparagus, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 8 tablespoons herbed cheese (such as Boursin or Rondele)
- Salt & pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cut the asparagus, garlic and shallot, add to a hot medium sized sauté pan with one tablespoon of the butter and one tablespoon of the olive oil. Season wish salt and pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the shallots are translucent. Just be sure to not over cook the asparagus, they will continue cooking while in the oven. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium sauté pan heat the butter and olive oil, making sure the pan is hot, salt and pepper the chicken on both sides, then sear each side of the chicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of the puff pastry. Cut into four equal squares.
- Top each puff pastry square with 2 tablespoons of the herbed cheese and divide the asparagus mixture equally among the four squares.
- Top each with a chicken breast.
- Bundle each wellington together by bringing the opposite corners together and pinching the seams closed
- Place the wellingtons on the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush each wellington tops with the egg wash.
- Salt and pepper the tops
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is nice and golden brown
Allow the wellington to cool for a few minutes, plate. Here you have a very simple, yet impressive, dinner. Don't be afraid to tinker around with fillings. Please share with me on how you create your chicken wellington. Enjoy!

stealing from other travellers is a crime against humanity, punishable by cruxifition.
stealing from other travellers is a crime against humanity, punishable by cruxifition.
Yes drugs are bad mmmkay...but I think there should be some more emphasis on the whole aspect of the black market.
Basically your putting your life out of your own control for a profit. Risk = reward as they say in finance. You get rewarded with cash, but the risk is that you'll ruin the rest of your life, either by getting caught, or something going wrong and you being a pawn to whoever is above you. The people who you deal with are also battling with this, it's a dog eat dog world where everyone is breaking the law - you prob have no idea who you'd be associating with unless you know them damn well. If someone else gets caught, rats you out then you can also say goodbye. Or, if you get caught, and police extract evidence of someone else from catching you, then you not only have the authorities to deal with...but also criminals on your ass as well. Any decent amount of cash you get is dirty, you can't put it in an account (unless you're Swiss or something) or let authorities know about it. Yes, the amount of money in it is ludicrous, but so are the risks.
There's better ways to get thrills, like going to an unknown place, or 3rd world countries where not many other people go to. Going bungee jumping. Riding a motorcycle/driving across several countries. Living as cheaply as you can, or living like the locals in some countries. Chatting to strangers in random places. Hitchhiking. Trying your luck with women. Eat a pigeon, or drink raw animal's blood. Picking a random spot on the map and going there. Trading the sharemarket. Hell even going to a casino and putting all your savings on red or black - I think all of these would be better options. You'd probably have better stories to tell, and you could tell them without you getting in trouble or having whoever you're talking to think you're an ass.
I don't see the difference in doing things illegal to finance travels, than doing things illegal to finance anything else. Perhaps only that one may be doing illegal things to satisfy an addiction - this is probably an even worse thing.
Quoting Berra2k
wouldn't feel bad at all. and black market drugs are intended to be distributed to addicts? what about LSD, shrooms, marijuana and all the other non habbit forming or physically addictive drugs?
and I've done coke and many other drugs. a drug habbit is on the user, not the seller. a 12 year old addict? well I don't think I'll be visiting Sudan anytime soon but I'll be sure to keep a look out for these young crack heads.
so I guess it's a question of ethics... so as stated earlier, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. hell even if I got into some trouble with another criminal who put my life at risk I don't think I'd have any problem killing them even. live and let die?
this must be a wind up.

I had this weird problem today and was hoping someone here might be able to help, but I am not holding my breath. I am the systems admin, as well as general IT support for my company (yes, it is a small company). I got a call from one of our sales guys today; he received four documents attached to an email, 2 .docx, 1 .xlsx and 1 .doc. He could open the .doc using Office 2007 without any problems but for some reason he could not open the .docx or .xlsx files. I had him forward me the message and I had no problem opening the files. I saved the files and sent them back to him and presto, he could open them. The error message he got went something like this, "The server application, source file or item could not be found..." I am sure you get the gist. Has anyone run into anything like this before? If so, did you find a solution to the problem and a way to prevent it happening again? Thanks.

Not sure if the machine is Win7 or not and i know this article is for Outlook 2003 but if it doesn't work you can just return it to normal:
I only thought of it because docx files are basically just zip files.I
Also found this here:
"Not sure if folks are still stuggling with this, but forget excel .. go to outlook 2007, Tools-->Trust center-->add-ins--> at the bottom of the screen select "COM Add-ins" then click GO .. disable or enable any add-in listed. close outlook and restart .. reverse the add-in you changed ... close outlook, restart outlook and you will be working once again. good luck"
Sep 22, 2011 at 3:49 UTC
If you try to send that same user a .docx file from an external account (gmail, hotmail) as a test does it fail as well then?
And I'm assuming this was the client install and not through OWA he was trying?

TIGUNIA is an IT service provider.
In Outlook 2007, check to see if File Preview is box checked for the Word Preview.
You can find this option in Outlook 2007 by navigating yourself to:
Tools > Trust Center > Attachment Handling. And at the bottom, it should have an option button "Attachment and Document Previewers" and make sure EVERYTHING is checked and nothing unchecked.
Try that and then get back to us. =)

Petersen Health Care is an IT service provider.
I load a "office file format converter" to all my cpu's that have office on it. It sounds like to me that someone sent him a office 2010 file and the local machine can't convert it. Either have the other guy "save as" a .doc or . xls or try this . Or goto microsoft and get the latest this file converter....
Sep 22, 2011 at 4:07 UTC
It is a Windows 7 machine and it is through the client (most of our users don't even know about OWA, it makes life easier for me). I don't see how File Preview is relevant, though I believe everything there is checked by default. Can you explain your reasoning? Even when trying to right-click the files and Save As..., everything in the drop down list is greyed out for him. Previewing the files is not important to us anyway, as they are documents he ultimately needs saved on his computer.
Sep 22, 2011 at 4:08 UTC
Question, does he or has he ever had Google Chrome installed?
Chrome installs it as the default browser (unless unselected) and it screws with opening files from Outlook.
Sep 22, 2011 at 4:10 UTC
That is exactly what I was thinking at first, and is probably something I should have mentioned. However, one of our IT guys already has a file converter installed on this machine. It is possible that something has gone wrong with that though. I would need to gain remote access to his laptop to see for sure and since we resolved the problem (albeit temporarily, perhaps) I didn't want to keep him away from work. My post here was because I was getting very curious.

I'm hitting this same issue with a number of my users, all of whom are running Office 2010 Pro. they can forward the email w/attachment to someone, the other person opens it & sens it back ok, but they either get the error: "A Dialog box is open" or "The file is corupt or cannot be found"
I've tried re-registering Office using the /r switch from the Command line, running a repair install, and rebuilding user's outlook profiles. still no luck. one thing I'm thinking is that most or all of them have the "Office XP Web components add-in, installed as it is needed by a LOB application that we run internally. could that be throwing off the file association?

Project Description
Saronsberg Sauvignon Blanc 2015

It was then force cooled to 4 °C, bunch sorted and destemmed into satellite tanks. The mash was deposited into cold-soak tanks for 12 hours at 8 °C.
The free-run juice was drained to settling tanks and the skins pressed, keeping the free-run and press fractions separate. After settling for 48 hours at 5 °C using only enzymes, the clear juice was racked and allowed to heat up for yeast inoculation.
The juice was fermented at 11 °C for 16 to 22 days with Vin7 and B2000 yeasts. It was left on the fine lees at 16 °C for 3 months after fermentation, stirring every 10 days. A small percentage of Semillon was blended into the wine adding some palate weight and depth to the wine. The Sauvignon Blanc was handled reductively throughout the vinification process using dry ice (CO2) and nitrogen. Bentonite was added for protein stabilization, followed by a coarse sheet filtration prior to bottling. Bottling was done with a sterile sheet filtration and the wine bottle aged for 3 months prior to release.

Koblenz Conclave
Expand Messages
- For what it's worth, as Treasurer of MBS, I have sent Ralf
Quast some inquiries via e-mail regarding his plans for the
conclave. I suggested that if I didn't get some kind of
budget from him pronto, he wouldn't get reimbursed for money
spent. Basically, the only response I've gotten is that
everything is under control, I shouldn't worry about it!
The only monetary figure I've seen is that the conclave
registration will be $175. Has anyone gotten a registration
form yet?
I have a feeling that Ralf is assuming that this conclave is
going to be his party for us--he's probably doing a good job
of planning in that regard. He just hasn't been in
communication with us! I don't think he realizes how
expensive our airline tickets will be, and how far ahead we
have to reserve them, since August is the peak tourist
season in Europe.
If any of you get a mailing about the conclave (other than
the newsletter), please let me know. Likewise, I'll post to
the list any info I'm able to gather.
I'm sorry that I won't be able to join all of you in Koblenz
this year. But there's always next year!
Best wishes,
