Mumbai: Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who turns 38 Sunday, has decided not to celebrate his birthday and remains doubtful for the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Deccan Chargers here in view of the worsening condition of the spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba.
Tendulkar is an ardent devotee of the 85-year-old Baba, whose condition is very critical.
Tendulkar said he is praying for Baba's quick recovery.
"I am praying for Shri Sathya Sai Baba's quick recovery. Hope everyone will join me in praying for his return to good health," Tendulkar said on Twitter.
The Mumbai Indians captain did not arrive with the team Saturday for the match against Deccan Chargers here Sunday, but is expected to come later in the day, according to sources in the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).
He is, however, uncertain for the match and has also decided not to celebrate his birthday, sources said.
"He may stay away from Sunday's match so that he can visit Puttaparthi, the pilgrim town in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, in case of any eventuality," sources said.
Tendulkar, who has visited Puttaparthi on several occasions to seek Baba's blessings, had planned a party in the hotel to celebrate his birthday. The Mumbai Indians management and HCA officials had even made some arrangements for the party.

Blood boozed from his nose like water through a jet pipe , when hit by a waqar younis delivery in his debut series...but the boy refused to go back to pavilion...instead he chose to stay there and whether the storm...!
Twenty one years later the man's passion for the game seems to have got multi fold ...and today he carved a double hundred saving india form blushes and keeping the series alive.
"Open the text book..turn to page no. 32"
What a comment was that..yeah
..fantastic !!
In fact with a injured hand and a good number of stitches on his hand he started practising for the final of IPL which he eventually played and MI lost because of some poor senseless batting and poor bowling.

Gwalior: 'Endulkar', was the headline of one of the leading newspaper of India when Sachin Tendulkar got out cheaply against Shoaib & co in the Karachi Test in 2006. Exactly after 4 years the same newspaper's Channel on prime time debating 'Is Sachin Tendulkar the greatest and better than Bradman?' Sach Is Life!
Sachin Tendulkar - God of Cricket
This was the day for Rail Budget but all the news channels going gaga over Sachin's magical inning. Such is the awe of this genius. Sachin brings nation to stand still, we have read this several times, we have heard this several times, we have seen this several times and we are still reading, hearing and watching this same line. May be its quite true as one of Sachin's fan said once " God wanted to play cricket, so Sachin was born."
Tendulkar has carried the expectations of a nation of 1.2 billion people since his debut as a curly-haired 16-year-old in 1989.
The world waited for 40 years for this feat, & India waited for 13 years. Almost 13 years back Saeed Anwar scored 194 runs against India at Chennai, since then the whole of India wanted one and only Sachin Tendulkar to break Anwar's record. The rest of the world were looking for the 1st double in One Day International Cricket. There is no man in the world better than the master to break all the records. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar became the first batsman to score 200 runs in an ODi inning.
This is not the 1st time he reached such a big score. He has already scored 186*(against New Zealand), 152 (against Namibia), 163*(against New Zealand) and 175(against Australia). Except against Namibia he always looked like getting a double century in ODIs.
In his inning of 200* Sachin Tendulkar written many new milestones, some of them are as follows:
* He has hit 25 fours, highest by any player in an ODI inning, followed by Sanath Jayasuriya(24).
* He has hit 28 boundaries (25 fours & 3 sixes), equaled to Gibbs who has 21 fours and 7 sixes.
* With 101 partnership with Dhoni, Sachin has 94 partnership of 100+ runs in ODI, highest by anyone.
* 1st player to score 5 150+ scores in ODI, earlier he was sharing the record with Sanath Jayasuriya who has 4 150+.
* Only batsman to have an average over 45 in ODI who have scored 10000+ runs.
* His 50 runs came off 37 balls with 7 fours
* His 100 runs came off 90 balls with 13 fours
* His 150 runs came off 118 balls with 22 fours and 1 six
* His 200 runs came off 147 balls with 25 fours and 3 sixes
* His second 50 came off 53 balls with 6 fours
* His third 50 came off 28 balls with 9 fours and 1 six
* His fourth 50 came off 29 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes
* His second 100 of the inning came off just 57 balls with 12 fours and 3 sixes.
* This is the third time India crossed 400 mark, and Sachin is the only batsman who scored atleast a 50 in all the 400+ team's score.
~ 57 against Bermuda at Port of Spain, 2007 (India 413)
~ 69 against Sri Lanka at Rajkot, 2009 (India 414)
~ 200* against South Africa at Gwalior, 2010 ( India 401)
He holds the record for most runs in tests (13,447) and one-day internationals (17,598) and most centuries in Tests (47) and ODIs (46).
Sachin Tendulkar after his 200*
I don't know how to react to this.I would like to dedicate this to the people of India who have always stood behind me for these 20 years amid the ups and downs. I was striking the ball and timing the ball well, it was coming on to the bat nicely. Yusuf came and changed the momentum and MS really struck the ball well; it was due to their big hitting that we were able to put up such a big score. It was only when I got closer to the score that I realised that I had an opportunity and I could take the singles to give MS the strike.
I'm enjoying my cricket. I've always played the way I felt was the right way to play, always done what I felt was good for the team. There have been times when I've made some bad decisions as a batsman, but as long as in my heart I know that whatever I'm doing for the team at that moment, I'm going to go ahead with that. It feels good that I lasted for 50 overs, a good test of my fitness. I'd like to bat another 50 overs at some stage and see that the fitness level doesn't drop."
What others have to say on Sachin Tendulkar after his epic knock of 200*
Lalit Modi
My heartiest congratulations to Sachin the worlds greatest sportsman. We can see him only rise. Inspiration to us all.He is the best. I salute Sachin. Sachin – the greatest player ever – without any doubt. Watch Sachin Rock the IPL now. We know he will.
Sania Mirza
Congratulations Sachin, proud to be Indian and a sports person in his era! Wooww!
Ajay Menon
Legend of Tendulkar gets more heft. First ODI double ton, God knows how many centuries in all. Heck, do we need to qualify his greatness? Amazing innings this, swashbuckling shots interspersed with deft placements, but most impressive perhaps being the hard running between wickets. More amused than appalled that some people still question Sachin's greatness. But not much can be done about misanthropes. relevant comparison is in impact both Sachin and Don had on the psyche of their respective cntrys and sporting world. Very similar, perhaps pressure of expectation on Sachin greater because of a billion strong Indian diaspora and a hyperventilating media. Biggest accolade for Tendulkar I can give is that despite having the world at his feet he remains humble to his profession & hungry to excel.
Rajdeep Sai Desai
Just when you thought he's scaled Everest, the man finds another mountain to climb. Sachin, you are the God of Cricket. I saw Sachin score his first first class hundred 22 years ago. bunked office and then wrote a front page piece on him the next day. SRK, Amitabh, Aamir are big stars. Sachin is a hero. We celebrate stars, we revere a hero. Last night went to bed depressed with the Bangalore fire images. Tonight, Sachin's record will ensure i sleep well.
Shashi Tharoor
What A Champ! At age when people assumed his stamina was flagging, he makes his highest !
Shane Warne
Come on Sachin my friend get your 200. World record to please! You deserve it… Nervous for my good friend Sachin everything crossed for you mate… Glad I'm not bowling to him today.
Sunil Gavaskar
When i meet him next time, I will touch his feet.

Finally a magazine shuffle that has nothing to do with drops in ad revenue. WWD is reporting that after attending a Barack Obama fund-raiser hosted by Calvin Klein, Anna Wintour, Shelby Bryan and Andre Leon Talley, Elle associate publisher Samantha Fennell has decided to jump ship and join the campaign: "I've been raising money for magazines for 15 years, so I figure I can do this." Fennell is not the first media type to take their love of Obama to its extreme conclusion. Back in May former ABC News correspondent and contributing editor at the National Journal Linda Douglass also crossed the line.
As a result of Fennel's departure Elle will move Daniel Ragone, vice president and publisher Elle Decor, to vice president/managing director at Elle and Barbara Friedmann, vice president/group marketing director for Elle and Elle Decor, will step in as vice president/acting publisher of Elle Decor. So basically the way things are going maybe all Sam Zell needs to do is throw a Obama fund-raiser in the hopes of pawning off all his excess reporters on the campaign.

Introduction: 8 years later… It had been 8 years since they had last seen each other. Cindy had gone to Atlanta when Mark graduated from college. Mark had recently married so all that had happened was Cindy giving him a blowjob at her hotel after graduation even though Cindy had wanted to do so much more. They had stayed in touch over the years, but not very frequently in the last few years.
When they had reconnected on Facebook a few months ago it seems as if no time had pasted at all. They picked right back up at the flirty fun relationship they had before. It was always nice to have someone who you just clicked with. Hanging out, having drinks, going to movies and the sex was awesome too. So when they started talking on Facebook it just seemed natural that their sexual sides would play back into the relationship.
The first time Mark asked Cindy to make a video of her touch herself she was a little taken aback and she thought she would never be able to do that. When he sent her a video of a friend using her vibrator it made her very excited so she thought what the heck and made a short video with her phone. After sending it to him she wonder would he be sharing it with anyone else? Now she had graduated to make 15 minute movies with a video camera in her room and sending them not really concerned any longer if others saw them. Mark always had a way of bringing out the slut in her, but she liked it.
Now, after months of talking about sex in a few short hours it was actually going to happen. They had arrange to have a weekend together and planned to do nothing but fuck. Cindy didnt sleep very well the night before in anticipation of what the following day was going to bring and as she boarded the airplane she could already feel the dampness between her legs. Just the thought that within a few hours she would have Marks cock in her mouth was driving her wild and making her pussy wet as hell.
Mark had told her that he couldnt just park and wait in front of the arrivals so after she picked up her bag she was suppose to call and let him know so he could drive over from the waiting area parking. Hey, I am here at baggage claim. Cindy told Mark on the phone. And my bag was already here when I walked up so it wont take me long to get outside.
Okay I am on my way and will be there in just a few minutes. Mark told her.
Their time together would be limited due to the fact that Mark was a married man. When he married almost 10 yrs ago his wife had been a virgin, but he never suspected that she didnt like sex. This weekend would be a way for both of them to let off a little pent up sexual steam. As Cindy waited on the crib she thought about what they had planned for the weekend. Today they would have about 11 hours together and would be naked most of the time. Then tomorrow about 8 hours, standing there thinking of their skin pressed together and her straddling Marks cock was making her so horny. Her phone rang and looking at the screen it was a text from Mark asking, Are you wet?. She sent back a message saying, Very.
Even though she was excited as hell to see him, she was also nervous. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach as she wondered if things would be awkward or seem like they had seen each other only days ago. Cindy saw the car approaching and could see Marks smiling face through the windshield. Just seeing his face put her at ease. As he parked and came around to her hugging her and saying Hey, how are you doing?
As they drove to the hotel they chit chatted about the flight, joking and laughing. Mark reached out touching her leg and a little jolt sparked through her. Cindy really wanted to reach over and start stroking his cock, but was afraid she wouldnt be able to stop she wanted him so badly. They arrived at the hotel and Cindy went to check in. After checking in they went to the room to settle in.
Cindy turned on the TV to find something just for some background noise. Mark came up behind her kissing her neck and taking both of her breasts in his hands. As she pressed her body against him enjoying the feel of his lips on her neck and hands on her breasts she could feel his cock pressing against her ass as it got hard. Reaching behind her she started to stroke his cock through his pants as he moved his hands under her top and under her bra grasping both breasts in his hands and pinching her nipples.
Ummm Cindy moaned.
Your nipples are so hard. Mark whispered in her ear.
Cindy was working on unbuttoning his pants so she could get to his cock. For months she had been thinking about having his cock in her mouth, pussy and up her ass now the time was here. As his pants fell to the floor she turned around and got on her knees taking his cock in her mouth.
Fuck yes Mark moaned as she started to suck his cock. Wait lets go over to the bed he said. As they both quickly undressed Cindy knew it wouldnt take long for her to make him cum. They had made a deal not to masturbate or have sex for the entire week before their meeting. She knew from their recent conversation that he was ready to explode and she couldnt wait for him to do it in her mouth.
As Mark laid back on the bed Cindy enjoyed the view of his naked body. Her focus was on his rock hard cock standing up waiting for her mouth. As she crawled up the bed between his legs taking the head of his cock into her mouth. Sucking gently on the head wrapping her tongue around pressing her tongue into the slit sucking out the drops of precum there. Sliding her mouth down the shaft. Licking her tongue along the underside of his cock as she moved her mouth. Wrapping her hand around the shaft of his cock sliding her hand up and down as she moved his cock in and out of her mouth.
Ummm Cindy moaned with pleasure against his cock.
Turn so I can play with you pussy Mark told her.
Moving around to the side so he could reach her pussy. Maybe you better get a towel, I know how wet your pussy gets and I want to try to make you squirt Mark told her. Cindy got up to get a towel thinking about their discussions of how much he wanted to know if she could squirt. She had been watching videos lately of women squirting either from masturbating themselves or with help from a partner. She had hoped to get some insight on how it was done because she didnt want to disappoint him. Going back to the bed she spread the towel then knelt down on it within reach of his hands. Then she went back to working on his cock.
Mark reached between her spread knees feeling her pussy. Nice, your pussy is so smooth Mark told her. She had her pussy waxed before coming on the trip. As he slid his fingers into her pussy Cindy let out a little gasp of pleasure. Cindy continued to work her mouth on his cock sucking, licking stroking up and down his shaft. Mark had one finger in her pussy and working her clit with his thumb. Cindy could feel her orgasms building up inside her. She worked faster on his cock. Mark slid a second finger inside her pussy pressing faster and faster against her G-spot. Cindy sucked faster and harder on his cock. Moaning against his cock as she began to orgasm she could feel her juices gushing from her pussy.
Im going to cum! Mark said as the first ropes of white hot cum hit Cindys tongue. She continued working his cock sucking every drop as blast after blast splashed into her mouth. As he finished cumming Cindy did not remove his cock from her mouth, but continued to stoke and suck on it.
Okay, okay stop Mark said. Cindy giggled, she remembered how sensitive he was after orgasm not even wanted to be touched, but she wanted to touch him. Touch him all over, but she finally let his cock out of her mouth laying over on his chest as they both gasped for breath.
After a few minutes of resting Mark asked, So what toys did you bring?
Cindy got up and opened my suitcase. Cindy had told Mark about the toys she used while masturbating and he asked her to bring them so we could play with them together. Laying each item out on the bed for him to see, there was the red Rabbit vibrator, pink vibrating butt plug, smaller blue butt plug and the g-spot tickler as well as, various lubes and massage oils.
Nice Mark said I dont know what I want to play with first. Cindy started loading all the batteries into the toys that required them. Lay down I want to play with you pussy Mark told her. Laying back on the bed Cindy spread her legs wide for him. God, I love your hairless pussy it is so sexy he said as he ran his hand over her bald pussy mound. As he stroked his fingers back up her pussy he slid his fingers between the lips, You are so wet Mark said as his fingers grazed her clit making her hips buck up to meet his hand.
Leaning down he spread the lips of her pussy flicking her clit with his tongue making her moan with pleasure. Taking the Rabbit vibrator he slid it inside her pussy which was so wet it met no resistance. Working it in and out of her pussy as he licked her clit.
Oh that feels so good Cindy said as she pushed her hips up serving herself up to his tongue. Mark turned on the rotating shaft of the Rabbit still moving it in her pussy. Then removing his tongue from her clit he turned on the clit stimulator and pressed it against her clit as he drove the vibrator deep into my pussy.
Yes, fuck me with it I want you to make me cum. Cindy told him moving her hips with the rhythme of his strokes. He started fucking her faster and faster with the vibrator. Cindy could feel her orgasms building as her breath quickened. Yes, thats it you going to make me cum! Cindy said as her hips bucked up to meet his hand. Im cumming she cried out as the first wave of orgasm came over her making her whole body shake.
As she was coming down from her orgasm Mark spread her legs and knelt between them. Putting her feet onto his shoulders he slid his cock into her pussy pushing deep inside her. Yes, fuck me Cindy said as Mark started pumping his cock in and out of her soaking wet pussy. Pushing her knees toward her shoulders allowed him to plunge even deeper into her. Oh yes, fuck me deep and hard Cindy told him as she thrust her hips up to meet his every stroke. Marks cock was slamming against her g-spot and Cindy could feel the orgasm rising up inside her, telling Mark Your going to make me cum just as she felt the gush of cum from him hitting her g-spot over and over. Mark continued to thrust into her as he felt her pussy walls grabbing his cock as each shock wave of her orgasm coursed through her. Mark hated to take his cock out of her pussy, but he really wanted her on top riding his cock.
Trade places with me. Mark said. Cindy smiled she knew how much Mark loved for her to ride his cock, not that she minded she loved the fact he would just let her have her way with him taking her time enjoying every stroke. Cindy got on her knees and let Mark lay down on his back. Cindy reached over taking his hard cock in her hand and bringing her mouth down to suck on the head of his cock. Oh, how she loved to suck cock, it was one of her favorite things to do, but she also knew she wanted Marks cock in her pussy so she climbed up straddling his cock.
Cindy pussy slid easily down onto his cock. She lifted her hips up so just the head of his cock was in her pussy and bounced up and down only taking in the sensitive head of his cock rubbing her clit against the shaft of his cock. She was leaning forward on her hands placed on either side of him. Then she sat up taking all of his cock into her pussy.
I love riding your cock Cindy told Mark.
It is yours to do whatever you want with Mark told her and she knew that is exactly what she wanted. Get up on your feet Mark instructed as Cindy climbed onto her feet keeping his cock engulfed in her pussy. On her feet she was in a good position to ride up and down on his cock and Mark met her movements with upward thrusts that sent his cock deep inside her. As he thrust faster and faster inside her Cindy knew she was going to cum letting the feeling build just waiting for the release. She loved the build up the most, sometimes she wished she could just have that feeling all the time and never have the release of orgasm. But her body would not stop as she threw her head back enjoying the feeling of release.
Im cumming She told Mark as he continued to thrust into her pussy. Cindy came down off her feet, but still had her pussy wrapped around Marks cock. Laying her head on his chest she said, Just give me a minute, but it didnt take long for her to start moving up and down his cock once more. Pushing herself up with her hands so she was staring down into his face, his eyes were closed but there was a smile on his face. Getting up on her knees a little so she could pump his cock in and out of her pussy.
Your pussy is so wet and can feel your juice dripping on my balls Mark said.
Thats because you cock makes me so fucking wet Cindy told him as she quickened her pace pumping up and down on his cock. Come on baby, I want you to cum again. I want to feel you hot cum shoot into my mouth. Cindy said as she rode him faster and Mark was thrusting his cock harder and harder into her pussy.
Im about to cum! Mark said as Cindy pulled up off his cock and took him in her mouth. Sucking and stroking his cock she liked the taste of her juices that covered his cock. His balls were covered with her spilled juices Cindy noticed as she took his balls in her hand. She could feel his balls tensing in her hand as they got ready to shoot their delicious juice into her mouth.
Suck my cock! Mark told her Im almost there he said as Cindy furiously pumped and sucked his cock. Then she felt the first glob of cum hitting her tongue and she continued to squeeze his balls until ever last drop had squirt into her mouth.
Cindy sat up and laid down beside Mark throwing one arm across his chest and one leg across his thighs, Cindy said That is exactly what I needed. I have been thinking about you making me cum for months and it was even better than I had imagined.
Good Mark said smiling.

Dear Tom and Ray,
Last night I dreamed that I was looking at the exposed front end of a 1960's Ford Fairlane 500. I could see the chaise, radiator, and the lower engine block. I recall twisting a loose silver colored hex bolt on the driver's side of the frame, that I took to be a motormount bolt or a part of that assembly. Of course, I have never seen a motormount in my 54 years on earth. To my dismay, the bolt turned freely and I discovered that I could freely pull it out of the chaise. I recall feeling apprehensive that something negative might happen in the near future.

Dear Richard,
One of the first words you use in your dream account is "exposed." So here we have a hint that something is going to be revealed that isn't necessarily apparent at the "front end." Well, we often put on something of a false front, which Jung called "the persona"---but dreams show us what's behind it---like good mechanics, they take a nice long peek under the hood.
So, let's take a look at the inside of your psyche. First, there's a fear of something coming loose; you're worried the motor might separate from the car entirely. The motor would be running, but the car wouldn't be going anywhere. Do you talk a good game, but wonder if you're actually getting anywhere? But the bolt, you say, "turned freely"--in fact, you use the word freely twice in one sentence. Maybe your dream is saying you need to shake things up a little, "twist loose," even if you fear, as we so often do, something negative might happen. You might be pleasantly surprised at what happens next.

Tagged: Nothing Found, Portfolio, search, Tags
September 10, 2012 at 4:24 pm #16117
Hi there.
I have modified the 'Choices' theme to show tags on portfolio entries, like Dude shows here: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out)
The problem, however, is that clicking any of those tags doesn't return any results.
I always get a 'Tag Archive: Nothing Found' page.
Is there a way – be it a plugin or a theme modification – to correct this behaviour?September 11, 2012 at 5:27 pm #90214
Hi OttoRobba,
I'm not sure whats going on as I just went through and tested it and didn't have any issue with pulling up an archive with the tag links.
My only guess is that perhaps your permalinks are not configured correctly or that there is something else causing a conflict with the proper output of it. You can try changing your permalink settings to default and try it again, if it works then you can try the troubleshooting tips from the WordPress codex here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_Permalink_Problems
DevinSeptember 12, 2012 at 12:00 am #90215
Hi Devin,
I tried what you said now, both locally and on the remote server (hosted on HGator), changed permalinks, nothing seems to work.
This is for tags from portfolio entries, just to be sure we are on the same page as regular blog post tags work just fine – which makes the whole thing even weirder.
This is running a vanilla install of Choices – only modification was to enable the tags.
EDIT: Could something be wrong with the very method of showing portfolio tags? It was originally posted as the solution for the theme coherence, link is in the first post.September 13, 2012 at 6:24 pm #90216
Very strange, I double checked and I did enable it for Choices specifically. The code is just a general way of adding support for tags for custom post types so it really should work without issue for any kind of custom post type.
Make sure wordpress is updated and that there aren't any other plugins installed and active. Just in case something is causing a conflict with the theme.
If you can also create a temporary admin account for me I'll log in and see if I can spot anything in the wordpress backend that might be causing the tags not to work properly.
You can send the information to my email at DevinVinson (at) gmail.com. Make sure to include a link to this topic so that my spam filter doesn't grab it :)
DevinSeptember 14, 2012 at 12:55 am #90217
Tried without any plugins, no dice, still says that nothing has been found. Created the Temporary Admin account and sent you the information for it in an e-mail.
Thanks Devin :)
–OttoSeptember 14, 2012 at 5:34 pm #90218September 14, 2012 at 6:11 pm #90219
Hi Otto,
Have you changed anything else in the custom post type portfolio? I see that you changed the name that appears in WordPress to Lessons and wordpress is pretty sensitive to names when it comes to custom post types. So if you've changed anything else…it could be causing the theme to grab the incorrect loop for the archive.
If you want to have a different custom post type, I would suggest just creating a new one from scratch as I really can't even say without some major digging what other conflicts there might be to modifying the portfolio post type. Its pretty ingrained in the framework at this point.
DevinSeptember 14, 2012 at 8:29 pm #90220
Changed it to lessons after doing all the test with regular portfolio nomenclature. Haven't changed any arrays or anything like that, only the echo text, as you saw. I can revert it to vanilla Choices nomenclature but I assure you, the problem will still be there.
Reverted it to entirely vanilla Choices, only modification whatsoever is to display tags, as seen on Dude's topic.
No plugins, nothing. Any clue? :(September 17, 2012 at 3:07 am #90221
Any news on what the issue might be?

Hey Otto,
I'm not sure what else could be going on. I've tagged Kriesi on the topic so that the next time he is going through support topics he can take a look and perhaps shed some additional light on the issue.

Sounds good, thanks Devin. :)September 19, 2012 at 6:22 am #90224
To see something you need to make a blog post using the same tag. Portfolio items have their own categories. Tags aren't unique to portfolio items but shared with the blog posts.
A cool use for the tags would be linking them to posts, so if u put a tag 'waffle iron' on a blog post, you can have a waffle iron portfolio with that tag linking to all waffle iron posts so they are interlinked. Good SEO value!
You need to make a completely separate taxonomy calling it something like Tags2 if you want to have tags only shared between portfolio items.
// registration code for portfolio-tags taxonomy
function register_portfolio_tags_tax() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Portfolio Tags', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Portfolio Tag', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New Portfolio Tag', 'Portfolio Tag'),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Portfolio Tag' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Portfolio Tag' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Portfolio Tag' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Portfolio Tag' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Portfolio Tags' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Portfolio Tag found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Portfolio Tag found in Trash' ),
$pages = array('portfolio');
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'singular_label' => __('Portfolio Tag'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio-tag', 'with_front' => false ),
register_taxonomy('portfolio-tags', $pages, $args);
add_action('init', 'register_portfolio_tags_tax');
You can try something like this. Drop it please into your functions.php, and see if you have a new taxonomy in portfolio

That is as close as it gets to what I need, thank you very much Nick, I'm gonna work with it. :)
Best regards,

Quick question, when I click one of these new, shiny, portfolio-only tags, is there a way to make it show thumbnails? Right now I get the post content instead of a thumbnail view like when you click a portfolio category. Thanks :)September 19, 2012 at 6:56 pm #90227
Use this plugin to attach the image to the new taxonomy, I think it still works, if not there are instructions, not that difficult. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-images/ Good luck!

Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday (often M. A. K. Halliday; born 13 April 1925) is a linguist from England who developed the internationally influential systemic functional linguistic model of language. His grammatical descriptions go by the name of systemic functional grammar (SFG).[1] Halliday describes language as a semiotic system, "not in the sense of a system of signs, but a systemic resource for meaning".[2] For Halliday, language is a "meaning potential"; by extension, he defines linguistics as the study of "how people exchange meanings by 'languaging'".[3] Halliday describes himself as a generalist, meaning that he has tried "to look at language from every possible vantage point", and has described his work as "wander[ing] the highways and byways of language".[4] However, he has claimed that "to the extent that I favoured any one angle, it was the social: language as the creature and creator of human society".[5]
Halliday was born and raised in England. His fascination for language was nurtured by his parents: his mother, Winifred, had studied French, and his father, Wilfred, was a dialectologist, a dialect poet, and an English teacher with a love for grammar and Elizabethan drama.[6] In 1942, Halliday volunteered for the national services' foreign language training course. He was selected to study Chinese on the strength of his success in being able to differentiate tones. After 18 months' training, he spent a year in India working with the Chinese Intelligence Unit doing counter-intelligence work. In 1945 he was brought back to London to teach Chinese.[7] He took a BA Honours degree in Modern Chinese Language and Literature (Mandarin) through the University of London. This was an external degree, with his studies conducted in China. He then lived for three years in China, where he studied under Luo Changpei at Peking University and under Wang Li at Lingnan University,[8] before returning to take a PhD in Chinese Linguistics at Cambridge under the supervision of Gustav Hallam and then J. R. Firth.[9] Having taught languages for 13 years, he changed his field of specialisation to linguistics,[10] and developed systemic functional linguistics, including systemic functional grammar, elaborating on the foundations laid by his British teacher J. R. Firth and a group of European linguists of the early 20th century, the Prague school. His seminal paper on this model was published in 1961.
Halliday's first academic position was Assistant Lecturer in Chinese, at Cambridge University, from 1954 to 1958. In 1958 he moved to Edinburgh, where he was Lecturer in General Linguistics until 1960, and then Reader from 1960 to 1963. From 1963 to 1965, he was the director of the Communication Research Center at University College, London. During 1964, he was also Linguistic Society of America Professor, at Indiana University. From 1965 to 1971, he was Professor of Linguistics at UCL. In 1972–73 he was Fellow, Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioural Sciences, at Stanford, and in 1973–74 Professor of Linguistics at the University of Illinois. In 1974 he briefly moved back to Britain as Professor of Language and Linguistics at Essex University. In 1976 he moved to Australia as Foundation Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sydney, where he remained until he retired in 1987.[11]
Halliday has worked in various regions of language study, both theoretical and applied, and has been especially concerned with applying the understanding of the basic principles of language to the theory and practices of education.[12] He received the status of Emeritus Professor of the University of Sydney and Macquarie University, Sydney, in 1987. He has honorary doctorates from University of Birmingham (1987), York University (1988), the University of Athens (1995), Macquarie University (1996), and Lingnan University (1999).[13]
Linguistic theory and description[edit]
Halliday is notable for his grammatical theory and descriptions, outlined in his book An Introduction to Functional Grammar, first published in 1985. A revised edition was published in 1994, and then a third, in which he collaborated with Christian Matthiessen, in 2004. The fourth edition was published in 2014. But Halliday's conception of grammar – or "lexicogrammar" (a term he coined to argue that lexis and grammar are part of the same phenomenon) – is based on a more general theory of language as a social semiotic resource, or a 'meaning potential' (see systemic functional linguistics). Halliday follows Hjelmslev and Firth in distinguishing theoretical from descriptive categories in linguistics.[14] He argues that 'theoretical categories, and their inter-relations, construe an abstract model of language...they are interlocking and mutally defining.[14] The theoretical architecture derives from work on the description of natural discourse, and as such 'no very clear line is drawn between '(theoretical) linguistics' and 'applied linguistics'.[15] Thus, the theory 'is continually evolving as it is brought to bear on solving problems of a research or practical nature'.[14] Halliday contrasts theoretical categories with descriptive categories, defined as "categories set up in the description of particular languages".[14] His descriptive work has been focused on English and Chinese.
Halliday rejects explicitly the claims about language associated with the generative tradition. Language, he argues, "cannot be equated with 'the set of all grammatical sentences', whether that set is conceived of as finite or infinite".[16] He rejects the use of formal logic in linguistic theories as "irrelevant to the understanding of language" and the use of such approaches as "disastrous for linguistics".[17] On Chomsky specifically, he writes that "imaginary problems were created by the whole series of dichotomies that Chomsky introduced, or took over unproblematized: not only syntax/semantics but also grammar/lexis, language/thought, competence/performance. Once these dichotomies had been set up, the problem arose of locating and maintaining the boundaries between them."[17]
Studies of grammar[edit]
Fundamental categories[edit]
Halliday's first major work on the subject of grammar was "Categories of the theory of grammar", published in the journal Word in 1961.[18] In this paper, he argued for four "fundamental categories" for the theory of grammar: unit, structure, class, and system. These categories, he argued, are "of the highest order of abstraction", but he defended them as those necessary to "make possible a coherent account of what grammar is and of its place in language"[19] In articulating the category unit, Halliday proposed the notion of a rank scale. The units of grammar formed a "hierarchy", a scale from "largest" to "smallest" which he proposed as: "sentence", "clause", "group/phrase", "word" and "morpheme".[20] Halliday defined structure as "likeness between events in successivity" and as "an arrangement of elements ordered in places'.[21] Halliday rejects a view of structure as "strings of classes, such as nominal group + verbalgroup + nominal group", among which there is just a kind of mechanical solidarity" describing it instead as "configurations of functions, where the solidarity is organic".[22]
Grammar as systemic[edit]
Halliday's early paper shows that the notion of "system" has been part of his theory from its origins. Halliday explains this preoccupation in the following way: "It seemed to me that explanations of linguistic phenomena needed to be sought in relationships among systems rather than among structures – in what I once called "deep paradigms" – since these were essentially where speakers made their choices".[23] Halliday's "systemic grammar" is a semiotic account of grammar, because of this orientation to choice. Every linguistic act involves choice, and choices are made on many scales. Systemic grammars draw on system networks as their primary representation tool as a consequence. For instance, a major clause must display some structure that is the formal realization of a choice from the system of "voice", i.e. it must be either "middle" or "effective", where "effective" leads to the further choice of "operative" (otherwise known as 'active') or "receptive" (otherwise known as "passive").
Grammar as functional[edit]
Halliday's grammar is not just systemic, but systemic functional. He argues that the explanation of how language works "needed to be grounded in a functional analysis, since language had evolved in the process of carrying out certain critical functions as human beings interacted with their ... 'eco-social' environment".[23] Halliday's early grammatical descriptions of English, called "Notes on Transitivity and Theme in English – Parts 1–3"[24] include reference to "four components in the grammar of English representing four functions that the language as a communication system is required to carry out: the experiential, the logical, the discoursal and the speech functional or interpersonal".[25] The "discoursal" function was renamed the "textual function".[26] In this discussion of functions of language, Halliday draws on the work of Bühler and Malinowski. Halliday's notion of language functions, or "metafunctions", became part of his general linguistic theory.
Language in society[edit]
The final volume of Halliday's 10 volumes of Collected Papers is called Language in society, reflecting his theoretical and methodological connection to language as first and foremost concerned with "acts of meaning". This volume contains many of his early papers, in which he argues for a deep connection between language and social structure. Halliday argues that language does not merely to reflect social structure. For instance, he writes:
... if we say that linguistic structure "reflects" social structure, we are really assigning to language a role that is too passive ... Rather we should say that linguistic structure is the realization of social structure, actively symbolizing it in a process of mutual creativity. Because it stands as a metaphor for society, language has the property of not only transmitting the social order but also maintaining and potentially modifying it. (This is undoubtedly the explanation of the violent attitudes that under certain social conditions come to be held by one group towards the speech of others.)[27]
Studies in child language development[edit]
In enumerating his claims about the trajectory of children's language development, Halliday eschews the metaphor of "acquisition", in which language is considered a static product which the child takes on when sufficient exposure to natural language enables "parameter setting". By contrast, for Halliday what the child develops is a "meaning potential". Learning language is Learning how to mean, the name of his well-known early study of a child's language development.[28]
Halliday (1975) identifies seven functions that language has for children in their early years. For Halliday, children are motivated to develop language because it serves certain purposes or functions for them. The first four functions help the child to satisfy physical, emotional and social needs. Halliday calls them instrumental, regulatory, interactional, and personal functions.
- Instrumental: This is when the child uses language to express their needs (e.g. "Want juice")
- Regulatory: This is where language is used to tell others what to do (e.g. "Go away")
- Interactional: Here language is used to make contact with others and form relationships (e.g. "Love you, Mummy")
- Personal: This is the use of language to express feelings, opinions, and individual identity (e.g. "Me good girl")
The next three functions are heuristic, imaginative, and representational, all helping the child to come to terms with his or her environment.
- Heuristic: This is when language is used to gain knowledge about the environment (e.g. 'What is the tractor doing?')
- Imaginative: Here language is used to tell stories and jokes, and to create an imaginary environment.
- Representational: The use of language to convey facts and information.
According to Halliday, as the child moves into the mother tongue, these functions give way to the generalized "metafunctions" of language. In this process, in between the two levels of the simple protolanguage system (the "expression" and "content" pairing of the Saussure's sign), an additional level of content is inserted. Instead of one level of content, there are now two: lexicogrammar and semantics. The "expression" plane also now consists of two levels: phonetics and phonology.[29]
Halliday's followers see his work as representing a competing viewpoint to the formalist approach of Noam Chomsky. Halliday's stated concern is with "naturally occurring language in actual contexts of use" in a large typological range of languages. Critics of Chomsky often characterise his work, by contrast, as focused on English with Platonic idealization, a characterization which Chomskyans reject (see Universal Grammar).

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania
Can a male policeman patdown a female suspect in PA?
Asked on 7/29/11, 1:53 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
Matthew Jorden Jorden and White Law Firm, LLP
Absolutely. The justification for a pat down of a suspect is to allow the police officer to perform a cursory search for weapons, ultimately for the officers protection.
To make an exception where a male officer is not able to perform a pat down on a female suspect would essentially create a rule that a male police officer is not permitted to take preventative protective measures against female suspects.

Sales of the PlayStation 4 are booming -- Sony has sold 6 million of the consoles, the company has announced. That's more than the 5 million it'd expected to sell by the end of March.
It's also sold 13.7 million games to go with those consoles. This figure includes both packaged and digital games.
The console seems to be doing well in Japan, where it launched on 22 February. Sony has sold 370,000 PS4s in Japan, 320,000 of those in the first weekend.
"I am absolutely delighted that PS4 is off to such a great start in Japan," said Sony Computer Entertainment's Andrew House. "The responses we have received for the PS4 system's integrated social capabilities have been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more thrilled that gamers are utilising these unique features to engage, share, play and connect with users around the world."
Sony says more than 100 million shares have been captured using the Share button on the PS4 controller. It also says more than 3.6 million gameplay broadcasts have been streamed from PS4s using Twitch and Ustream.
We can expect more of these kinds of sharing features, too. House said: "SCE will continue to expand the world of PlayStation by growing its library of breakthrough games and bringing more innovative features and services only possible on PS4."
So what of the Xbox One? The last we heard was back in January, when Microsoft said its console had sold more than 3 million units. Figures suggest the PS4 is outselling the Xbox One by about one and a half to one. This may have been one of the contributing factors that lead Microsoft to cut the price of its console recently. The PS4 is likely to stay in short supply until next month, according to Sony, when most shops should have the console back in stock.
Which do you think is the better console, PS4 or Xbox One? Let me know in the comments, or on Facebook.

Firstly, this runs great on HTC Hero.
I would like to see the option of 'play current disk'.
if there is a CD in the drive, it would start this playing, if its a DVD, play it.
I couldn't see an obvious way of doing this without going into remote mode.

I got an idea.
I locked my mobile, because if I lose it, people can access almost everything. My mail, Facebook , Stuff, everything.
So every time I want to use it I have to swipe at least 4 points. And I don't mind it.
Except when I'm using XBMC! If I want to just pause, or go back to the menu I need to unlock my phone first. And It gets a bit much after 40 times
SO! fix -> Maybe built in a Unlock mode when you are :
A. logged on to a certain Wifi spot (as in mine)
B. At a certain location, doesn't have to be exact GPS, with the phone masts is fine.
I do understand that this can also be achieved with an extra app, but I looked, and I can't find it.
(and sorry for not dumping this in the correct thread )

I think this is way out of scope for an XBMC remote. B is easily achievable with Locale and a lockscreen plugin like http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.mooapps.autolock/

Maybe a "Play current disk" option in main menu that is only visible when there are a disk in the drive.

The remote is awesome. I love the option where I can play m4v files from a link I clicked on the phone onto the main system. Can we somehow expand the format for the file types that Android is not supporting (read: Quicktime).

popophobia Wrote:Hey,
Thanks for the kind words!
We currently "intercept" all content based on these mime types:
Unfortunately, only mime types known by the android framework are hijackable using this approach. It would seem that whatever extension your qt files have does not map to a mime type defined in the android framework.
Never fear, though. It is a rather trivial matter to expand our "intent filter" (as its proper name is) to match on url patterns i.e. extensions as well.
The reason we went for mime types is that we could keep the filter definition pretty damn short - basically the three lines above.
Could you make a feature request on the tracker and list whatever extensions you'd like us to snatch?

Very nice building lots located in Preble Co. Two side by side lots that could be bought separate or together. Buyer would need both lots to put a well and a septic on property. Just one lot would be too small for the county to allow. Buyer would have to run water from the street at SR 35 if buying only one lot. There are no sewer lines so they would have to do a septic.

OverviewLittle Agnes is located in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness in the Routt National Forest. The peak is near Mount Zirkel, the centerpiece of the Park Range. The Zirkels provide a good combination of easy to moderate hikes and climbs with many technical possibilities; however, the area usually sees heavy snowfall, making it difficult to approach many of the peaks year round.
Little Agnes lies on the western edge of the Park Range directly east of the town of Hahn's Peak and north of Slavonia. This part of the Zirkels saw a major blow down in October of 1997. Millions of trees were blown over in a single storm that came over the mountains from the east. From this blow down and a general drought for many years, pine beetles and fires have claimed most of the trees in the area.
While in a very popular area, Little Agnes doesn't see a lot of traffic. The Mica Lake area, as well as the Mount Zirkel area, see many visitors every weekend of the summer. The summit register on Little Agnes had 8 people sign it as of 9/4 in 2006; 6 in 2005; 9 in 2004; about 8 parties in 2003, one of which was a CMC outing with at least 2 dozen people; 1 in 2002 (many of the bad fires near Little Agnes occured that year); and 9 in 2001.
Getting ThereFrom Steamboat Springs, CO. Take Routt County Road 129, also known as Elk River Road, north towards the towns of Clark and Hahns Peak. Drive for approximately 17 miles to the town of Clark. (Check out the General Store at Clark, they have maps posted on the blowdown and fires). Just after the town of Clark, turn right onto FR 400, aka Seedhouse Road, at the town of Glen Eden.
On this road you can access the peak from either the Mica Lake side, via the Slavonia trailhead, or the Diamond Park side, via the Diamond Park trailhead.
Slavonia Trailhead
To reach Slavonia, continue on FR 400 from Glen Eden to the end of the road. There is a trailhead and parking there.
Diamond Park Trailhead
The Diamond Park area can be reached by several ways depending on what gates are open. From FR 400, continue to the Seedhouse campground area. Just before a small bridge will be a road to the right, FR 431. This road has been gated at times recently; however, a trail still leads towards Diamond Park from here. Another way to head towards Diamond Park is to continue past FR 431 on FR 400 to FR 433, Lost Dog. This road will travel towards Diamond Park. There are several other marked and unmarked forest roads that can be taken to get closer to the peak or to another destination.
Routes Overview
West Ridge
The west ridge provides an easy off-trail hike to the summit with some minor scrambling. The route rates at a Class 2 and round trips from Diamond Park can be accomplished in 4 to 8 miles depending on starting location.
South Ridge
This ridge provides another great off-trail hike to the summit with some minor scrambling as well. The route is Class 2 and a round trip hike through the Mica Lake Basin can be done in approximately 10 miles.
Route Possibilities
Little Agnes may be a smaller mountain, but there are many possibilities for exciting, challenging routes. For example, the following was recorded in the summit register:
"August 22, 2005. Established the route 'Penstemon Butress'
(V, 5.11, A4) on SE face. The climb took 3 days, no problems
encountered except for frostbite and HACE. Team Hobocamp,
Flagstaff, AZ"
Whether or not Team Hobocamp's ascent is true, Little Agnes does have the rock to hold such a climbing route.
The northeast ridge also looks to be fun; similar to maybe a Kelso Ridge type climb. The mountain has a few couloirs that are difficult to see and look to be interesting as well.
Red TapeA few special regulations exist in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness due to the heavy use, in addition to standard National Forest and Wilderness regulations. Another source on wilderness regulations can be found here.
The area along FR 400 is labeled as restricted camping. Follow posted information.
Some of the backcountry areas, such as near Gilpin Lake, are restricted camping as well. See posted information on the details and location of the restrictions.
CampingSeveral options for camping exist in the area. First, there are two established National Forest Campgrounds along FR 400 as you drive to both Diamond Park and Slavonia trailheads: Seedhouse and Hinman. The cost for either campground is $12 per night.
More information on National Forest Camping can be found here.
Second, camping in the backcountry of the National Forest or Wilderness areas is permitted according to regulations.

I'm with most of the others believing this may be a prototype but I'm not so appalled if this IS in fact the real device. I like the square design personally and it has a very unibody macbook pro look to it. ultimately i want it to be strong enough not to crack the first time you drop it and for it to have the a4 chip and anything else is just a plus

Eugene Melnyk couldn't contain his excitement last night at the Corel Centre.
Not only was the Senators owner shown dancing on the Corel Centre scoreboard video during stoppages in play, he was in the Senators' gym after their double OT win congratulating the boys on their effort.
And, Melnyk, who is getting his first taste of playoff experience, remains confident the Senators can march into the Air Canada Centre tomorrow and score a win in Game 7 of the Battle of Ontario over the Leafs.
"Nobody should ever question the character of this team," said Melnyk. "We've got lots of character. We've got lots of people who are willing to go out there and get the job done.
"I'm confident that we can go in there and win this series. I really enjoyed this win and I know we've got the people here who can make it happen for us in Game 7. We know we've got one of the top teams in the league."
Melnyk said he supported the decision by Senators GM John Muckler to appeal to the players' sense of pride with a pointed speech Saturday following Friday's discouraging 2-0 loss in Game 5 in Toronto.
"To come out and play the way they did says a lot about this team," said Melnyk. "I know John Muckler spoke to them (Saturday) and I thought everything he told those players was appropriate. He felt it needed to be said.
"(Muckler) has got the experience. He has been through this before and he knows what it takes for a team to be successful. I'm confident we'll get through this round and then I'll be happy to go to Tampa Bay or Philadelphia for Round 2. It doesn't matter to me. This is a lot of fun."
Melnyk thrilled Sens have forced a Game 7 vs. Leafs

Offered in Spring 2013, this course was web-based with a field trip to the Verde Valley. The course used the Verde River as a model system to study the hydrology of desert rivers, ecological impacts of flow diversion, the ecology of aquatic and riparian food webs, invasive species ecology, and restoration ecology. Find out more here.
This course was offered in Spring 2012 to study the ecology, hydrology, and water policy of the Verde River. Find out more here.
WREP works with partners in the region, including the Verde River Natural Resource Conservation District in Yavapai County and the Willow Bend Environmental Education Center in Coconino County to deliver a variety of educational outreach experiences.
In July 2012, WREP convened a workshop on the Restoration and Management of the Verde River. Twelve educators from K-12 programs, Verde Natural Resources Conservation District, and Grand Canyon Youth, participated in a tour of non-native plant removal efforts on the Verde corridor, followed by a kayak trip down the river to observe native/non-native fish and plants and flow diversion. The tour included a tour of the Bubbling Ponds Native Fish Hatchery to discuss fish restoration efforts. Find out more here.
In October 2012, WREP provided graduate student guides for a field trip for Verde Valley middle students that was held at Montezuma Well and hosted by Lynda Zanolli of the Verde Natural Resources Conservation District Education Program. Four NAU graduate students assisted Ms. Zanolli and park staff with student activities on the topic of invasive species and several school groups were given the opportunity to participate in these activities over the course of three days. See the flyer for this event here.
WREP recently partnered with the Centennial Forest Environmental Education Summer Camp Program to host a field trip to Fossil Creek.
Focusing on southwestern stream management and ecology, co-sponsored by the Center for Science Teaching and Learning at NAU and by Arizona Game and Fish Department's Bubbling Ponds Native Fish Hatchery.

My archetypal example is the sped-up piano interlude in the Beatles' "In My Life", as it meets the essential criteria: doesn't repeat chord/melodic structure from the verse or chorus
The piano solo in In My Life is the same, harmonically, as the verse. The middle eight, or bridge, is the other section -- "All these places have their moments," etc.
― St3ve Go1db3rg, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 14:44 (six years ago) Permalink
The Posies, "Golden Blunders." Four weeks seemed like a long time then/but nine months is longer now/and even if you never speak again/you've already made the wedding vows. Along with a chromatic climb to get out from the middle eight's key change.

Not sure I agree that section is a "bridge" or "middle eight" in "In My Life." Doesn't seem to me that those terms usually refer to repeating sections where you get the title words as a refrain line at the end.
Not sure what I would call them - "verse extension" or something.

Brisbane flood waters swallowing up a city
The chilling sound of sirens filled the air in Australia's third-largest city today as floodwaters which have torn a deadly path across the north-east poured into an empty downtown, swamping neighbourhoods in Brisbane's worst flooding in 100 years.
The surging, muddy water reached the tops of traffic lights in some parts of Brisbane, and the city's mayor said at least 20,000 homes were in danger of being inundated.
At least 22 people have died and more than 50 are missing elsewhere in north-eastern Queensland since drenching rains that began in November sent swollen rivers spilling over their banks, inundating an area larger than France and Germany combined.
Brisbane, the state capital with a population of 2 million, is the latest city to face down the waters.
Today, Brisbane residents who had spent two days preparing, took cover on higher ground while others scrambled to move their prized possessions to the top floors of their homes. Some stacked furniture on their roof.
The Brisbane River is expected to reach its peak tomorrow, Mayor Campbell Newman said. The figures were constantly being revised as the threat became clearer - and it was getting consistently worse.
Australia's prolonged crisis escalated when a violent storm sent a 26ft (8m), fast-moving torrent - described as an "inland instant tsunami" - crashing through the city of Toowoomba and smaller towns to the west of Brisbane on Monday. Twelve people were killed in that flash flood, and 51 remain missing.
"This is a truly dire set of circumstances," Prime Minister Julia Gillard said.
The flooding has transfixed Australia and is shaping up to become the nation's most expensive disaster, with an estimated price tag of 5 billion dollars (£3.2 billion).
The relentless waters have shut down Queensland state's crucial coal industry and ruined crops across vast swaths of farmland.

"It's consciousness-raising and movement building 2.0", said Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post. She went a step further by saying "...the goal of eradicating deaths from malaria by 2015 is smart, forward-thinking, and, given the growing reach of social platforms, very pragmatic". These words went along with the UN's start of a social media campaign that was launched on 15 March. Today, two weeks later, many more than 28 million people have heard about malaria from high-profile individuals. That's impressive.
But what is the impact of all this? Tweets are nice but won't save lives, right? Following on from my previous post 'Malaria: When sudden beats chronic', I decided to dig a little deeper below the surface of the impact of news and reporting about malaria.
"Health for all by 2000"
It is June 1995. As I walk through the corridors of the St. Francis hospital in Ifakara, southern Tanzania, I see a beautiful poster with a picture of our planet, taken from space, taped to the wall in one of the wards. Above it the text "Health for all by 2000". A slogan that was masterminded in WHO's headquarters in Geneva, thousands of miles away. But I don't see any health around me. Ifakara had been struck recently by a devastating cholera epidemic, and without the necessary oral rehydration solutions available, people were dying like flies all around me. Army tents were erected outside the hospital to deal with the stream of patients coming in from just about everywhere in the district. In the malaria ward I then witnessed a shocking scene. I saw a wooden box, with eight babies lying in it, all in a row. Each of them had a needle stuck into their heads as a means to connect them to a drip with quinine. Their arms were simply too thin to stick a needle into. Six of them would not survive the vicious attack by malaria parasites. As the year progressed, the poster in the ward started fading, and eventually it fell off and nothing more than a piece of tape, left behind on the wall, reminded me of the "Health for all by 2000" campaign.
But that didn't matter. In Geneva a new initiative was on its way: The Roll Back Malaria initiative. It was launched in 1998. Followed by the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria, and then the Millennium Development Goals. And then the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. On an ever bigger scale we aim to fight the diseases affecting the poorest on the planet. And as time progressed, advertising and marketing specialists got involved. The messages became more gripping, the websites more flashy. Malaria became a business in itself, an industry.
Today, more than 800 million people live in countries where formerly they ran the risk of contracting malaria. Europe, Russia, Australia, Taiwan, the USA. This is because shortly after WWII, two powerful weapons to combat malaria became widely available: the miracle drug chloroquine and the miracle insecticide DDT. The combined power of these weapons resulted in a total collapse of disease transmission and ultimately eradication in the aforementioned countries. Patients could be cured, mosquitoes could be killed. Cheap, effectively, and easily. The WHO launched its global malaria eradication campaign in 1955, with the aim, well, to eradicate malaria from the face of the planet. But by 1969 it was all over. Malaria parasites had become resistant to the miracle drug. Mosquitoes were no longer affected by the miracle insecticide. Africa missed the boat. In fact, it had never been a major player in the global eradication campaign. Two decades followed where nothing much happened. Malaria came back, and conquered new terrain. Millions died, but no longer in the North. Malaria had become a disease of impoverished countries, the developing world.
In the early 1980s, in West Africa, a French scientist named Phillipe Ranque, undertook an experiment that would have an incredible impact on the way we control malaria today. A few years earlier, the Chinese had succeeded in synthesising pyrethroid insecticides. These had become widely available for agricultural pest control, and Ranque decided to study the effect of impregnating a bednet with these chemicals on mosquitoes. Not only were mosquitoes killed when contacting the net in pursuit of the person sleeping under it, the pyrethroid also repelled them. This meant that even torn nets, or holed ones, gave protection.
Large-scale trials with impregnated nets in the 1990s, the first of which was conducted in The Gambia, yielded astonishing results. Mortality dropped by 63% in the group of Gambian kids sleeping under the nets. WHO-sponsored trials in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania, fuelled optimism. A new weapon against malaria entered the public health arena. The insecticide-treated bednet.
Small message, small donation, big impact
Bednet manufacturers starting making overtime. When I talked to Torben Vestergaard, former Director of the Vestergaard-Frandsen company, back in 2005, he told me that net production had increased ten-fold that year, from 1,8 to 18 million nets.
Dr. Gerhard Hesse, Head of Global Vector Control at the Bayer company, informed me last week that by 2009, some 192 million nets had found their way into African households. Pledges for another 103 million have been secured and hopefully these nets will be in use by the end of 2010. Universal coverage of vulnerable groups (children <5 yrs of age and pregnant women) will require 350 million nets in total, so we're still 55 million nets short of target.
Most of these nets have been funded by large organisations like UNICEF, the Global Fund, and the US President's malaria initiative. But a weapon this small in size and cost did not go unnoticed by the public at large. Numerous small-scale initiatives have been undertaken in recent years, by schools, churches, sports clubs, women's groups, and so on. Considering that the cost of a net is only 4 €, this is a contribution many in the developed world can afford. Raise money, divide the amount by 4 (€), and here is the number of African children receiving protection from a deadly disease. This weapon is simple, tangible, and can be 'sold' to the masses with a one-liner. Perfect.
It is no surprise that NGO's that jumped on raising public funds for bednets, like 'Nothing but nets', 'Malaria No More', and 'Against Malaria', mushroomed. 'Save a life for 4€' is the perfect slogan. Nets sell well.
Last night I watched a documentary 'When the night comes' that will be launched the end of April. It was sent to us for previewing and for us to write an editorial on our platform MalariaWorld. The story is gripping. A Ugandan boy, Ivan, dies of malaria in front of the camera. I have seen much suffering in Africa, but this made me swallow once again. It ends with nets. Nets to protect, nets to alleviate suffering, nets that bring happy faces. Nets, nets, nets.
Can it be concluded, therefore, that short and simple messages that ask for small sums of money work? Moreover, can it work via Twitter? The answer is…

Spalding Rotarians are poised to raise thousands of pounds for local good causes – but they need your help to make sure this year's Two Lips fundraising week is a great success.
Last year's inaugural event raised a staggering £10,531.40.
And Rotarians are hoping you can beat that this year.
The main good causes for 2013 are Spalding Age UK, St John Ambulance, St Barnabas Hospice Jenny Freeman Lodge and Spalding swimming clubs.
Alan Porter, Spalding Rotary Club's immediate past president and chairman of fundraising, said each of last year's main charities benefited from a £2,000 boost.
He said: "We are hoping to exceed last year's target."
This year's Two Lips fundraising week runs from May 11-18.
One of the big highlights is a ball on the final night at Spalding's Castle Sports Complex.
The ball will feature live music from an Abba tribute band as well as a meal.
The Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian are again holding a quiz night.
There will be bucket rattles in supermarkets Morrisons and Sainsbury's and, hopefully, a host of other events organised or supported by local businesses.
Rotarians are entering a Two Lips float in this year's last ever Flower Parade and they will launch Two Lips with a market stall on May 11.
Rotarian John Barnes said: "Support from the public last year was absolutely fantastic.
"If any clubs or societies or schools want to put an event on, we would be very happy to hear from them. Some of the schools raised money for us last year by holding events like non uniform days."

Action movies were once the toast of movie making. The great days of sheer violence and a good shoot em up bang bang seems almost light years ago. What happened when one could just stroll into a theater and see 90+ minutes of sheer violence with a little story eloquently interwoven so that we get just what we needed to satisfy our fix for a fight?
3 Days to Kill is a tedious, begrudging chore of viewing that completely mutilates what an action movie should be. It is yet another testament to the sad state of the action movie genre. This is one of the more recent films that show how far the once prominent genre has become a joke to many and how far the once great genre has fallen off. The movie stars Kevin Costner (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), Haliee Steinfeld (Enders Game), Amber Heard (Paranoia), Connie Neilsen (Perfect Sense), Tomas Lemarquis (Snowpiercer), and Richard Sammel (Casino Royale).
Synopsis: "A dying CIA agent trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter is offered an experimental drug that could save his life in exchange for one last assignment." (Imdb.com)
This calamity starts with a great promise; a good premise, a good opening scene, and a good cast that offers a lot of potential. Somewhere after the first action sequence, all of those positive aspects are quickly squandered and the movie begins to spiral downwards into the dismal abyss of disappointment. Nearly 30 minutes in and the movie begins to settle in the shape of what it truly is; the new age action movies where it attempts to humanize our larger than life killers. 3 Days to kill becomes much like The American, Columbiana, and Drive, however, it isn't as entertaining as the worse of those. At some point in time, this actually worked. Films like Commando and Rambo pulled this off successfully. Schwarzenegger's John Matrx (Commando) and Stallone's Rambo both are great examples of how this can effectively pulled off. The new films tend to try to focus too much on the humanizing and not enough on the action. They focus so much on attempting to make this character a person that they forget that we want him to be larger than life and unbelievable in many ways. 3 Days To Kill does just that. 3 Days To Kill humanizes Renner so much that we forget to cheer for him. It forces the larger than life aspects to be ignored; therein making the action aspects of the film less believable and even less plausible.
The story is extremely slow moving. While it has brief glimpses of the promise that it exhibited, it is quickly wasted shortly thereafter. The main focus of the story is attempting to reconnect with his daughter is nearly nauseating. The way the relationship is introduced is good and adds to the character as well as giving you something to care for. The flashbacks of the young Zooey are well placed however, once the two meet, it become the stereotypical absentee father/daughter relationship and not long after completely implausible. The constant flip flopping between the action aspect of the film and the aspects of attempting play the father role is nauseating. The movie focuses too much on Ethan's attempts to rebuild the connection with his daughter. This aspect of the film is very "Man on
Costner's character Ethan Renner has a number of flaws that make him human and very relatable, too relatable. The one characteristic that makes him and this approach to the film is completely overshadowed by the more predictable aspects that are embedded within the character. The absentee father/husband who is seeking acceptance after a long departure is a good theme and very prevalent in modern society. Consequently, it has been played far too often and this time, it's easily one of the worse.
3 Days To Kill is a joke. It's a bad punch line at best and a poor excuse for entertainment at the very worse. The film is all over the place and utterly senseless for most of it. The best aspect of it is the subtle dark comedy that it has embedded into it. The film has a number of comedic moments that really offset the other slacking aspects of it. Its comedic moments are timely and well placed. However, it's not enough of those to warrant the viewing of this hogwash. Bottom line, steer clear. Steer far clear, avoid if you can. This one is just an hour and fifty plus minutes of frustration!
DVD review: 3 Days To Kill: A twisted joke of an action movie
Action movies were once the toast of movie making. The great days of sheer violence and a good shoot em up bang bang seems almost light years ago. What happened when one could just stroll into a theater and see 90+ minutes of sheer violence with a little story eloquently interwoven so that we get just what we needed to satisfy our fix for a fight?
