Background: Font color:
I stood in front of a very ancient looking mansion. It looked terrible, no wonder the Dark Lord chose this place to stay in. The gates are broken and graffitied by some very rebellious wizards, probably Blaise Zabini. He is the most rebellious, hyper, mischievous guy you would ever meet. He is also one of my friends, not the followers. He has written to me every week scince the holidays and he is the only non-family member that knows I work for the guy who killed the Potters. When I told him, he was very shocked at first but then got used to the idea that I am at the Dark Lord's command.
I finally came back to earth from thinkingland and finally remembered what I was doing here.
The Dark Lord summoned me to tell me my next task. He is getting really annoying with these worthless useless tasks he sets for me to complete. What would I ever achieve from scrubbing the floors of the Riddle House and being Potter's enemy? Yes, I know what you are thinking . But they are terrible to each other! Harry hates Draco and Darco hates Harry etc. But have you ever thought that I was being mean for a reason. No, you haven't. Haha I win.
I walked through the over grown grass to get to the door. When I opened the door , the doorknob fell to the floor. Typical. I rolled my eyes and fixed it with my wand.
When I walked into the mansion, the smell hit me. It was discusting and foul. It smelled like rotting wood and blood. I pinched my nose and continued onwards.
I saw a couple of very large spiders scurrying towards a room. I would love to see Weasel's face when he sees these pathetic excuses for an insect. He will be screaming his head off and I will be laughing my head off. He is such a wimp. Expect wierdness from blood-traitors...
I just remembered that the Dark Lord is Legemens and could ' read my mind' as muggles like to say. Lucky for me, I am an Oclummens, so I can block my mind very well from the Dark Lord.
I quickly blocked my mind on the spot and walked into a room which just might be the living room
In the living room, there was a great fireplace which lit up the whole room and painted it in a orange glow. there was two comfy chairs faced towards the fireplace and the walls were pretty much covered in pictures and photos. Some of the photos showed Salazar Slytherin and the others had a couple. A woman with pale skin, black hair in a bun and very light green eyes which seemed to be filled with regret, and a handsome man with a fair complextion, light brown hair, and dark brown eyes. He is looking at the woman lovingly. I realised the couple to be Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Sr.
Why would the Dark Lord have pictures of the one man he hated the most?
Before I could jump to any conclusions, I noticed that one of the chairs that was facing the fireplace, was facing me and sitting in it was none other than Voldemort himself (yes I can say the name too you know)
"Hello Draco" he said sneering. I merrly nodded and listened for what he was about to say.
"You are probably wondering why I called for you so late at night. am I right?" I nodded again. I feel like a nodding fool.
"Okay first of all. I hear you are becoming ...nice... I cannot have a nice person fulfilling my orders or even work for me as a metter of fact. You can't even achieve the simplest tasks. That is why I asked you to scrub my floors"
well that explains it....
I cant believe my family actually work for this guy. I think it is only me and my mother who dont actually want him in our lives. I know my mother is only doing this because she wants to keep me alive and wants to keep my father safe. My father is the complete opposite of my mother. He is a fully certified Death Eater with the Dark Mark and everything. Now my father wants me to follow his footsteps and become a Death Eater like him. I do not want to be a Death Eater because as you can see, I am actually on the good side or the light side or the cliche side or whatever you want to call it.
"Draco I am letting you go" He suddenly said. Taking me aback
He lets me go now? I have been wanting freedom ever since I have gotten myself into this mess. I have not done his tasks properly or at all for many years and he decides to let me go now? why not earlier? I had to cover up my shocked expression.
"W-why now? I mean, why when you have so little followers and Potter is out to kill you before you kill him?"
he gave a evil sounding laugh an said " Draco, you are so stupid. The only reason that Potter will ever find me would be because he has either followed you around or gained information from a betraying Death Eater. Use your brain a bit!"
I bit my lip very hard and tried not to scream at him for calling me stupid. I closed my eyes and slowly nodded
"So before I let you go you have to achieve this one task for me. If you fail, you and your family would get killed by moi"
I knew there was a catch...
"What do you want Lord?" I managed to say
"I want you to kill Dumbledore"

A Department of Public Safety sergeant Wednesday testified that fog was not to blame in the 2012 Thanksgiving Day pile up that took the lives of a Pearland couple. The accident happened on Interstate 10 west of Beaumont and involved over 100 vehicles and sent 53 people to the hospital.
Vincent and Debra Leggio died after Richardo Fernando Kerr's tractor trailer crashed into and landed on top of their SUV. Now their three adult children are suing Kerr and the trucking company, CR England.
Sergeant Chuck Havard with the Department of Public Safety took the stand during day three of testimony in the civil trial. Havard said based on the DPS investigation, Kerr was speeding and did not apply his brakes before hitting the Leggio's vehicle.
Dr. Eric Moody, the forensic engineer who analyzed the fatal wreck, also testified today. He said Kerr may not have been traveling as fast as other witnesses claim. Moody said he thinks Kerr may have been traveling at about 52 miles per hour, not close to 70, as DPS and family attorneys testified earlier. However Moody still points blame to Kerr for the Leggio's death.
"Mr. Kerr failed to take under consideration the conditions of the road," he said. "He drove many miles an hour faster than he should, and that's what caused the accident."
In yesterday's testimony, Casey Cator, who was driving behind Kerr's tractor trailer, said there was fog the entire way from Houston to Beaumont. This contradicted what the defense had called "sudden and unexpected fog."
Cator also claimed that someone from CR England called him and asked him to change his story.
The medical examiner involved with the case is expected to take the stand tomorrow.

I strongly advise people to stay away from this incompetent and extremely rude company. Although Sky's offers seem good their customer service is shocking. They never fully answer the questions that you ask them and if you challenge them on this they will turn round and threaten to take you to the Police. All the departments are the same. If they do agree to something they will simply turn round and deny ever agreeing to things even though you might have it in writing this seems to make no… Read Full Review

Sky broadband is quite cheap and the connection quality is reasonable when it works but when it goes wrong you are in a world of trouble. I have found their staff to be rude and unhelpful on more than one occassion. The last time I phoned with a ping of 700ms (causing pages to timeout), they insisted there was nothing wrong even though I tested on an iPad, PC and Phone!

I had previously been with Sky broadband but moved to O2 as soon as the opportunity arose. I was disheartened to learn O2 broadband had been sold to Sky. Our internet connectivity instantly declined. Just to be clear, we are a small household of two individuals, one of whom often works away. We are not heavy users by any description - certainly no online gaming and so on. The service is often as slow as a dial-up modem and periodically cuts out. I have given up trying to stream anything beyond… Read Full Review

They first promise you they will do this and that and they will never call you back, ignore your calls, replying after more than 5 days to emails, offering boosting connection service obviously at extra cost, customer service is never reachable, it is all based on LIES! their wifi doesn't ever connect to the device in the whole flat/house. and finally they were making contract cancellation procedures very difficult to me so I would potentially give up or change my mind, stay away from Sky!… Read Full Review

I've been a Sky+ HD, telephone and broadband customer for the best part of 3 years and during that time had very little issues with the (non-customer support) service received in return for my £60 pcm. The broadband was always fast and reliable, the phone line was always active and the HD TV quality was great. When we first signed up to Sky 3 years ago, they confirmed an installation date and then didn't even turn up/communicate they were no longer coming so having taken a day off work… Read Full Review

Purely horrendous, I can't even have another tab open in my explorer if I am watching a video on YouTube or any other video site as it stops the stream and makes it pause which is seriously frustrating.

I was an o2 customer of many years, moving house in January 2014, and agreed to take Sky at the new address as they have taken over o2. It has been trouble from my first call. I have six A4 sheets of notes detailing calls and issues. Records of calls seem to disappear into thin air, staff don't do what they've promised, don't call back when they've said they will.

I left Post Office Homefone as they were a complete disaster leaving me with no broaband for three months. I joined sky at a fixed rate for one year. After the first month they increased my payment and again after the second month not by a lot but thats not the point I joined at a FIXED RATE.

Was very happy with the service from O2, reliable broadband with consistant speeds of 13-14Mb, no dips. Customer Service was always excellent too. So I was very disappointed when I was informed Sky had bought them. Oh no I thought that's the end of that! So I decided to move to someone else but I was contacted by Sky with an unbelievablely good offer for a load of TV channels called Entertainment Extra +, phone line and broadband.

Hi,We have a fairly simple left side subnavigation list on a site that we're using a background image for the bullets. The vertical alignment of the bullets image should align to the center of the menu text next to it. In IE & FF, this works great in all cases, including when there is nested UL's for the second-level menu items.
But in Safari and Chrome, the alignment of the bullet image when there is a nested UL drops a bit so it aligns with the bottom of the text. When there is no nested UL, it aligns properly and everything looks correct.
The only thing we see when using developer tools is that it appears the extra bit of padding above the text in the li's disappears in Safari/Chrome when there is a nested UL. Not sure why.
Here's a link to a page that has one menu item with the nested 2nd-level menu item (Staff & Faculty). Notice the right-angle quotes image next to that bottom link (Staff & Faculty) sits too low in Safari/Chrome only.Menu Bullet Alignment Test
The line-height you have specified isn't browser friendly as far as how each browser creates the line height, if you set line-height: 16px which i have personally tested the issue resolves itself and displays the same in all browsers.
It looks like a bug caused by the inline anchor running straight into a block level ul (my pet hate) and the text gets shifted up. The background image arrow is in exactly the same place but the text on that line is shifted up (add a background color to the list element and you will clearly see this).
If you set the anchor to display:block and then apply some top padding you will get some consistency.
#internalLeftColumn ul.sub-menu a{
Changing the line-height as suggested by SgtLegend will also make it look better but was still a couple of pixels out in my tests.
Thanks Paul! Learn something a little new every day with this.
We had tried different things with the line-height, but nothing was completely consistent and/or giving us the line-height we needed on both the top-level and secondary list items.
We had actually originally had the images on the a tags (not the li's). But things weren't wrapping nicely with long lines. Now making those elements block items allowed us to go back to the original way of having the bullet images on the links instead of the list items. Was going back-n-forth on this trying to think of the pros/cons to having the images be on the links or li's. We'll stick with this for now if it's 100% browser consistent.

Attorney Abigail Huffer '04 "Fascinated with the Law"
August 13, 2009
August 13, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — "Abigail Huffer had nearly constant contact with the practice of law growing up in Carroll County," notes the Comet. A 2004 graduate of DePauw University, Huffer "spent much of her time as a youth (sitting) at a dinner table with the county prosecutor, who happened to be her father Jim Huffer." The newspaper reports that Huffer has now joined her father's law firm -- Obear, Overholser, Huffer and Rider -- in Delphi, Indiana.
"I'm fascinated with the law," Abigail Huffer says. "I interned in a Greencastle law firm while at DePauw, although I first majored in science. I then went into English. I also worked for Pearlman, Chosnek and Hopson legal firm in Lafayette as a legal assistant for a year before continuing on to Valparaiso," where she earned both master's and law degrees.
She adds, "The advice my dad gave me about being an attorney was to always have a good handshake and to remember the importance of negotiation when working with people."

British Book Awards: Non-Fiction - Narrative Shortlist
When Amy Liptrot returns to Orkney after more than a decade away, she is drawn back to the Outrun on the sheep farm where she grew up. Approaching the land that was once home, memories of her childhood merge with the recent events that have set her on this journey. Amy was shaped by the cycle of the seasons, birth and death on the farm, and her father's mental illness, which were as much a part of her childhood as the wild, carefree existence on Orkney. But as she grew up, she longed to leave this remote life. She moved to London and found herself in a hedonistic cycle. Unable to control her drinking, alcohol gradually took over. Now thirty, she finds herself washed up back home on Orkney, standing unstable at the cliff edge, trying to come to terms with what happened to her in London. Spending early mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, the days tracking Orkney's wildlife - puffins nesting on sea stacks, arctic terns swooping close enough to feel their wings - and nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy slowly makes the journey towards recovery from addiction. The Outrun is a beautiful, inspiring book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew hope.

When human rights lawyer Philippe Sands received an invitation to deliver a lecture in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, he began to uncover a series of extraordinary historical coincidences.
- £16.00
- Save £4.00
It set him on a quest that would take him halfway around the world in an exploration of the origins of international law and the pursuit of his own secret family history, beginning and ending with the last day of the Nuremberg trial.
Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize this is part-historical detective story, part-family history and part-legal thriller. Philippe Sands guides us between past and present as several interconnected stories unfold in parallel.
How does it feel to be constantly regarded as a potential threat, strip-searched at every airport? Or be told that, as an actress, the part you're most fitted to play is 'wife of a terrorist'? How does it feel to have words from your native language misused, misappropriated and used aggressively towards you? How does it feel to hear a child of colour say in a classroom that stories can only be about white people? How does it feel to go 'home' to India when your home is really London? What is it like to feel you always have to be an ambassador for your race? How does it feel to always tick 'Other'? Bringing together 21 exciting black, Asian and minority ethnic voices emerging in Britain today, The Good Immigrant explores why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay and what it means to be 'other' in a country that doesn't seem to want you, doesn't truly accept you - however many generations you've been here - but still needs you for its diversity monitoring forms. Inspired by discussion around why society appears to deem people of colour as bad immigrants - job stealers, benefit scroungers, undeserving refugees - until, by winning Olympic races or baking good cakes, or being conscientious doctors, they cross over and become good immigrants, editor Nikesh Shukla has compiled a collection of essays that are poignant, challenging, angry, humorous, heartbreaking, polemic, weary and - most importantly - real.

'Writing about yourself is a funny business...But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this.' -Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger and darkness that fuelled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as 'The Big Bang': seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candour, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song 'Born to Run' reveals more than we previously realized. Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star's memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs ('Thunder Road', 'Badlands', 'Darkness on the Edge of Town', 'The River', 'Born in the U.S.A.', 'The Rising', and 'The Ghost of Tom Joad', to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

For readers who enjoyed Matt Haig's Reasons to Stay Alive and Ruby Wax's Sane New World, Mad Girl is a shocking, funny, unpredictable, heart-wrenching, raw and jaw-droppingly truthful celebration of life with mental illness. 'I loved it. A brilliant fast and funny and frank look at something that absolutely needs to be talked about in this way' Matt Haig Bryony Gordon has OCD. It's the snake in her brain that has told her ever since she was a teenager that her world is about to come crashing down: that her family might die if she doesn't repeat a phrase 5 times, or that she might have murdered someone and forgotten about it. It's caused alopecia, bulimia, and drug dependency. And Bryony is sick of it. Keeping silent about her illness has given it a cachet it simply does not deserve, so here she shares her story with trademark wit and dazzling honesty. A hugely successful columnist for the Telegraph, a bestselling author, and a happily married mother of an adorable daughter, Bryony has managed to laugh and live well while simultaneously grappling with her illness. Now it's time for her to speak out. Writing with her characteristic warmth and dark humour, Bryony explores her relationship with her OCD and depression as only she can. Mad Girl is a shocking, funny, unpredictable, heart-wrenching, raw and jaw-droppingly truthful celebration of life with mental illness.

THE NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. "Finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option...Unmissable". (New York Times). At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away? Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

Authors: Emanuel Gluskin
According to the definition of the linear operator, as accepted in system theory, an affine dependence is a nonlinear one. This implies the nonlinearity of Thevenin's 1-port, while the battery itself is a strongly nonlinear element that in the 1-port's "passive mode" (when the 1-port is fed by a "stronger" circuit) can be replaced by a hardlimiter. For the theory, not the actual creation of the equivalent 1-port, but the selection of one of the ports of a (linear) many-port for interpreting the circuit as a 1-port, is important. A practical example of the affine nonlinearity is given also in terms of waveforms of time functions. Emphasizing the importance of the affine nonlinearity, it is argued that even when straightening the curved characteristic of the solar cell, we retain the main part of the nonlinearity. Finally, the "fractal-potential" and "f-connection-analysis" of 1- ports, which are missed in classical theory, are mentioned.

"Chucking it" for Charley
A benefit for freshman Charley Weber was held on Tuesday, March 19, at Cheney Middle School.
Weber – along with his friend, Dustin Stedman – was in a serious snowmobile accident on Dec. 31, in which Charley suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Charley returned to school for the first time for a half-day last week.
Charley's mother, Michelle, is the West Fargo STEM Center principal and his father, Jeff, teaches Phy. Ed. at Cheney Middle School and driver's education at the Sheyenne 9th Grade Center.
The event featured inflatable games from Games Galore, a silent auction and "Chuck It" dodgeball tournament.
"We've received wonderful feedback from everyone that attended," said Cory Herrmann, a Cheney Phy. Ed teacher who helped organize the event. "Through the community's generous support we were able to raise over $12,000 in just a few hours."
The Dakota Medical Foundation's Lend a Hand program is also adding $5,000 in matching funds.
The dodgeball tournament featured adult and youth divisions. There was also a contest held to determine which team wore the most unique uniforms.
"Overall the tournament was a huge success that could not have been achieved without the help of a few key individuals," Herrmann said.
Those individuals, according to Herrmann, include Kevin Froeber, Nancy Wentz, Jayne Petersen, Fiona Brendemuhl, Sarah Larson, Lisa Woodbury, Cheryl Schindler and Lucy Spaeth, all of whom had a hand in organizing the event.
"After seeing the community's overwhelming support it is easy to say that we will likely organize this event on an annual basis," Herrmann said.

You can see some pret-tee weird stuff around here if you keep you eyes open and pay attention.
An NBC DFW reader with a keen eye for the odd recently espied a rather, shall we say, different kind of "lost pet" sign in Fort Worth, close to TCU.
And the sign said: "Lost, one-legged spider monkey with silver choke collar." Hmm, curious, George. But wait, there's more.
"Likes Kool Menthol cigarettes and lite beer in cans," the little Philistine, "do not give it anything [underscored] in glass!!!!" There goes my exclamation mark quota for the year.
"Answers to 'Stinky Nose,' " and really, doesn't everyone in the primate family? That's the monkey equivalent of "Hey, man."
"Will eat cat litter ... needs medication." Well, yeah, eat cat poop and smoke Kool menthols, and sure, you're gonna need some meds.
"If found, please call Alexis @ 817-759-7500."
Ah ha, that's where the hooey hits the fan.
A call to that phone number revealed that it belongs to the Fort Worth Zoo where a woman named Alexis works in the communications department, so, hey, Alexis, somebody's goofing on ya, hon.
Another woman in the PR department -- I didn't catch her name … what do you think, I report on these things? Hell no, I just comment -- said, no, they don't even have spider monkeys at the zoo.
The first clue, though, that it was a hoax was that a one-legged spider monkey was on the run. I mean, how far could a one-legged monkey get?

Davie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Dolphins inked their 2014 first- round pick, offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James on Thursday.
No terms were disclosed by the team, but the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported that James, taken with the 19th pick, secured a four-year deal with a fifth-year option.
James started each of his 49 games at the University of Tennessee at right tackle, setting a new program record and tied for the school's all-time record for starts by an offensive lineman.
In addition, the 6-foot-6, 318-pounder from Suwanee, Georgia helped the Volunteers rack up 2,261 rushing yards in 2013, the most since 2004.

Seth Meyers to Replace Jimmy Fallon?
File this under "maybe," "possibly," and "in our dreams"—and also "still fun to think about." Page Six reports that Saturday Night Live head writer Seth Meyers could replace Jimmy Fallon, should Jimmy Fallon in fact replace Jay Leno on The Tonight Show—as has been widely speculated. Meyers is supposedly Lorne Michaels's first pick to succeed Fallon, and it's not a choice completely out of left field. Meyers also showed up on the wish list to co-host Live with Kelly Ripa before Michael Strahan got the gig. Nothing is confirmed, but it's an intriguing possibility.

MP Sir Alan Beith raised the issue of dualling the A1 during a House of Commons debate on transport infrastructure yesterday.
Speaking in the debate, Sir Alan said: "Would it not be a good idea, just weeks before the referendum, to make it clear that we care about the link between the North East and Scotland? An announcement on dualling the A1 would be very helpful."
Sir Alan and Julie Pörksen, who is bidding to be his successor, have also been taking part in meetings of the A1 North of Newcastle Feasibility Study recently.
Julie said: "There is a great deal of work going on to suggest we may see some progress on the A1, but what we need is a clear commitment that work will be done. The Mousen Bends and the Morpeth to Felton stretches have already had much of the preparatory work done and it would be really straightforward to get construction underway on these areas."


text: BANGKOK, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets fell on Friday but notched up gains on the month, with trading remaining subdued due to caution about global central bank policies but positive corporate earnings lifted select regional stocks. Asian shares edged higher and were on track for their biggest monthly rise since January 2012, as global central banks kept stimulative policies intact and many hinted at further steps to re-energise their economies. Singapore's key Straits Times Index erased most early losses and ended the day down 0.1 percent. It was up 7.4 percent in October, the first monthly gain in six. Trading volumes fell to 84 percent of a 30-day average, similar to regional peers. Vietnam was an outperformer on the month with a gain of nearly 8 percent after two straight losing months. Indexes in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand all ended the month higher after several months of losses while Malaysia posted gains for a second successive month in October. Among the bright spots, Singapore's United Overseas Bank shares rose 1.5 percent after the bank posted a 1 percent drop in third-quarter net profit but beat expectations on higher interest rate margins and one-off gains from the sale of investment securities.

LOS ANGELES — A theme of building and improvement — building bridges of brotherhood, building righteous societies and improving individual lives — underscored remarks by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the LDS Church's First Presidency to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council.
"It takes courage … and humility to put away old hatred, divisions and traditions that constrict and confine people into a blind succession of destructive behavior toward others," said President Uchtdorf, second counselor in the church's First Presidency. "It is within our reach to breach barriers of hate and build bridges of brotherhood and understanding between opposing cultures, beliefs, religion and world views."
In his Thursday evening speech titled "The Internationalization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" given before some 800 community, business and religious leaders, President Uchtdorf said hope remains for virtue, moderation and divine moral principles in a time of uncertainty and fear.
"Strengthening families, building righteous societies and helping our brothers and sisters improve their lives the world over, regardless of culture, language or religious beliefs — I believe these are righteous goals," he said. "We invite all to be part of these efforts."
The World Affairs Councils of America is the largest national nonpartisan network of local councils dedicated to furthering global understanding, with the Los Angeles World Affairs Council one of nearly 100 such autonomous groups in 40 states.
Talking of the Mormon religion's growth from six members in 1830 to more than 14 million worldwide, President Uchtdorf labeled the LDS Church a global church teaching principles and doctrines with the power to and uplift the people of every nation, race and culture.35 comments on this story
"It is important to recognize that the growth of the Church is not merely about numbers of members, languages and buildings; our mission is to bring souls unto Christ — that is the important part — and thereby improve the lives of our fellow men," he said. "We teach, support and encourage all men, women and children to draw near to God and live charitable and honorable lives."
He also detailed the church's efforts in education, welfare and humanitarian aid.
"Being continuously engaged in improving the lives of our fellow men is not just theological theory, which it easily may become, but rather an application of the gospel's core doctrines," he said. "The more our hearts are inclined to God, the more we desire to relieve suffering and help others become self-reliant."

.- Archbishop Domenico Calcagno has been appointed by Pope Benedict as the head of the Vatican's financial policy department, following the resignation of Cardinal Attilio Nicora earlier today.
However, Cardinal Nicora will stay on as head of the Vatican's financial watchdog body, the Financial Information Authority. The paring down of Cardinal Nicora's duties is being seen, in part, as a further attempt by the Vatican to comply with international rules on money laundering.
"If the Holy See hopes for success in getting onto the European Union's 'White List,' this is a move it has to make," Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., said to CNA July 7. The "White List" is the E.U.'s register of countries that are in compliance with the union's rules aimed at combating money laundering.
"If you are in charge of an economic institution it is better if the same person isn't also responsible for monitoring it," Fr. Lombardi said.
"There were procedural ways to make sure there was no contradiction in duties but the situation is clearer now."
The Vatican financial policy body—officially called the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See – was created in 1967 to administer the estates of the Holy See and provide the necessary operating funds for the Roman Curia.
The Financial Information Authority was created by Pope Benedict XVI in late 2010 after Italian prosecutors seized 23 million Euros (32 million dollars) of Vatican assets as part of a money laundering investigation. The funds were released back to the Vatican in June 2011, with no further action being taken.
Cardinal Attilio Nicora has been in charge of the Vatican monetary policy department since 2002. At 74-years-old the Italian cleric would have tendered his resignation next year.
Given that the Financial Information Authority is not a department of the Roman Curia, Vatican officials have told CNA he will be able to stay on as head of that organization beyond his 75th year.
Archbishop Domenico Calcagno, 68, is also Italian. For the past four years he has been the secretary of the policy-making body. He will now be replaced in that role by Monsignor Luigi Misto, who is presently in charge of the finances for the Archdiocese of Milan.

Release Date: 2007 |
Good review. I would have done one if I'd been able to find this music online.
Album Rating: 1.5Pretty good review, but I really, really hate this album, can't stand his vocals at all.
Album Rating: 3.5yeah, his vocals i have found are a matter of taste. i dont know what it is, but i love them. the rest of the band to me isnt anything special really, so if you dont like his vocals i can easily see how someone would dislike this CD.
any tips on improving this review are welcome.
Album Rating: 1.5I don't know, there's not really anything to improve here, good job. /votes.
I liked them better during the Moment of Imperfect Clarity days, but that's not really saying much either, was never a big fan of this band.
Album Rating: 3.5thanks man.
yeah, i didnt like that CD much at all, and this one it's mostly just 4 or 5 songs i really love, but the others arent bad enough to ruin the score to me. i hear they are really good live as well.
Album Rating: 1.5It's funny, I love 3 of the 4 cds you recommended, yet hate this album. It appears I'm horribly inconsistent in my rating patterns...oh, well.
Album Rating: 3.5haha yeah i picked those more because its about the same style as far as I could pick. i personally like 3 of the 4 cds i recommended as well lol
just out of curiousity which cd did you not like of the ones i recommended?
Album Rating: 1.5I haven't listened to that Used cd, so I can't say that I don't like it. Then again, I haven't been real big on their other stuff, so...

Stunning theme! So many features and easy to use, bravo! Two questions though: - In the main menu, is it possible to replace the name of the homepage 'Home" with a home-icon? I think i've read about plug-ins doing that but i want to make sure the theme allows for it first. If so, any plug-in you would recommend?
- I'm using One-by-One sliders on some of the pages and now that my slides were created i can't figure out how to change in which order they appear (on a page) without having to recreate them from scratch. There must be simple way to do this no?
Looking forward for your answers. Thank you very much.
Thierry. firstname.lastname@example.com
I must be missing something fundamental – I installed a fresh WP, installed the theme, made sure the uploads and child was 777, imported the dummy xml – uploaded a logo but no matter what i do the site just looks messed up: bgpictures. com / tammy
Nevermind, I got it – I had to assign a menu – might put that in the install instructions
So I just downloaded your theme and tried to upload it through Wordpress – but when I try to it simply says "are you sure you want to do this? Try again." I think I'm using the correct file, I unzipped the download file and am uploading dt-nimble_v.1.1.2 Would love some help! thanks
It didn't work direct for me either, just do it via FTP
Hello Great brilliant theme .. i bought it but take a look at my website ..
I cant see the images although i followed your steps please help me !
In a photo, when you click Like and get the popup new window with the FB, Tw and G+ options, how can we add in pinterest to pin the image?
I have just updated the new theme but it appears that shortcodes doesn't work at all.
Hey so I tried to upload the theme directly to wordpress using FileZilla but when I transfer over the dt-nimble folder to my wp-content/themes, nothing shows up on my dashboard! Any help? Bought the theme a couple days ago would really like to activate it!
*i set my CHMOD settings to 755 and 777 as directed on your site and it still won't show up
Hi sorry how i can change the contact form words or botoms leters to spanish? i dont know if there is a language way or how i may do it manual?
thank you very much
nevermind i just found it heeh..
hugs and thanks
how its possible to activate the Social Links on a normal page. In the theme options (Social like button …) the page option is missing.
Thank you very much
Hello, the shortcodes don't work.
Thanks in advance!
Would I be able to use a video player (affiliate Traffic Player Pro) and a video site map plugin with this theme? (On the Home page, regular pages, and portfolio pages)?
And I noticed in your violet theme, that the Clients (Other WP Themes) slider gets colored way too deeply in some of your skins, so much so that you can't see them: http://nimble.dream-demo.com/new/homepages-2/onebyone-sidebar/
Is this something that would be easy to fix?
I had another question, but it eludes me right now lol.
My pages that were set to the "Photos with Sidebar" template applied used to display text and photos. I just upgraded my version of Nimble but now the text is no longer displaying in any of these pages, yet the text still shows in the editor. How do I get the text to display again?
Well, since no one will respond to several of my questions on the help foum, I thought I'd try here. I wanted to add a few social icons not in the default icons in the admin. I created my own icons, put them in the images/soc-ico folder.
I then went to the styles.css file and added
.soc-ico li a.theknot { background-image: url(../images/soc-ico/theknot.png); } .soc-ico li a.metbride { background-image: url(../images/soc-ico/metbride.png); }
They're both showing up in the admin, but only one of them is visible once I set it's URL. There's a blank spot where one of them should show up, but the blank spot is clickable and it opens up the correct URL I've set in the admin, it's just that the image itself isn't loading. Any help on adding additional social icons would be helpful?
Hello: I opened a ticket (#700808) two days ago. I need help with the shortcodes, because they don't work. Would you please fix it? Or at least I need an answer.
Thank you.
With the last update the shortcodes doesn't work
I've buy and installed one template that used the "get_template_part".
In my LISTING PAGE for the category, in the archive.php file i've :
while( have_posts() ) { the_post(); get_template_part('content', get_post_format() ); } I't work, but the output is without the html code. I see the page without: bold, br, and the other tag..
THIS IS THE POST PAGE http://www.cinepiucorreggio.it/2013/01/cloud-atlas-3_67
But in the listing page, with the "get_template_part", i don't see the BR and the BOLD tag. LISTING PAGE http://www.cinepiucorreggio.it/film/programmazione
Is there anyone who can help me?

Yiru's got a great piece up on using SOS to debug code that was emitted using Whidbey's new Lightweight CodeGen feature. Debugging any code written at the IL level can be tricky for anyone who doesn't have Partition III of ECMA committed to mind. LCG makes it even more fun since the code is generated dynamically, so there's generally not any source to look at when figuring out the problem. Yiru shows how to use the the SOS commands !DumpMD, !DumpIL and friends to help figure out what is wrong with the emitted method.
As I've mentioned a few times before in this blog WinDBG is my debugger of choice, and working with managed code all the time means knowing SOS is a must. I'm always glad to learn a new trick or two about that particular extension.

#TruthInAds Get Latest TIAA News
We want to make sure that all consumers, especially children, know when a human body has been altered in an ad. Join us to achieve this historic public health goal!
Finally, Washington DC is doing something about the link between photoshopped images in advertising and how people - in particular girls and women - feel about themselves. But to really drive the change we're after, the policy-based approach needs to be strengthened by grassroots support. That's how you can help us win this battle.
With bipartisan Congressional sponsorship, the Truth in Advertising Act of 2016 (HR4445) calls on the Federal Trade Commission to develop a legislative framework for any advertising materially altering the human body (i.e. shape, size, proportion, color, etc.). The bill directs the FTC, as the nation's consumer protection agency, to develop recommendations and remedies for these photoshopped ads that are:
We are building a campaign of people and organizations who agree that the current status-quo isn't acceptable any more.
This is the moment that many have been working towards for a long time. We need to make the most of it, and hope you'll join us.
2 Easy Things You Can Do to Help
Please share this campaign on social media and help us spread the word.

The public is still bitter about the sale of University of San Francisco's student radio station, KUSF, and the university isn't taking any chances.
At a meeting Wednesday night, no less than six police cruisers and 20 uniformed officers were on hand, reports the SF Appeal.
Lt. Kevin Dillion of campus security told the Appeal the decision came down from the on-site SFPD officer-in-charge, based on the size of the protesters marching towards the auditorium where the meeting was held.
"The numbers [of the crowd] reached a certain point, and at that time the decision was made to call in a certain number of officers," he said. "It's not an excessive amount of officers for a demonstration."
Below is a video taken Tuesday night when a group of students entered a university official's office, in an attempt to get some answers.

Cooking supply store under new ownership
A foodie's dream, The Spoon Shop in Kailua-Kona offers high quality goods and inspiring ideas for all things culinary.
The new specialty retailer catering to culinary professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts opened in October. Owned by Kona residents Tracy Ackerman and Preston Crowl, The Spoon Shop is located in the former Gourmet Chefs Supply on Luhia Street in the Old Industrial Area near Pacific Island Fitness.
For roughly 10 years, there has been a cooking supply store at this location, helping ensure kitchens are well-stocked. Crowl said he and his wife are thankful for the foundation previous owners left. They are looking forward to building on the momentum and taking the store much further.
According to Crowl, their goal is to stock staples, as well as all the cutting-edge tools, for creating and enjoying food. They will be attending an international trade show in March in Chicago, where they'll learn about the latest and greatest kitchen appliances and gadgets for 2013.
The couple has been "feverishly" stocking the shelves with a host of new gizmos, such as the award-winning Garlic Twist and Aerolatte milk frother. Some of the inventory is geared for perfecting culinary creations with ease; others are for holiday gift-giving, like the scientific, yet fun Molecular Gastronomy Kit.
There's also a big selection of barware, napkins, aprons and Chef Wear, and novelty items like Hawaiian-themed cutting boards. The Spoon Shop also has a separate room full of essentials for baking and candy making, complete with a wide variety of cookie cutters and candy molds.
Its grilling and barbecue selections for the outdoor chef will eventually be expanded, Crowl added.
Offering quality, name-brand products from the U.S. and abroad, The Spoon Shop sells cookwear by Scanpan, LeCreuset, Lodge and All-Clad. Featured cutlery lines include Wusthof, Global, Chun and Forschner/Victorinox.
The shop is also a drop-off site for Scott's Knife Sharpening, and the return time for that service is two to three days, Ackerman said.
With new inventory arriving weekly, Crowl said new products will be advertised on the shop's Facebook page and upcoming website.
The Spoon Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 329-2433.

The National News Agency Antara reports that exports by Bali's cottage industries declined 18.3% in 2002, down from US$192.12 million in 2011 to US$157.02 million in 2012.
The chief spokesman for the province of Bali, I Ketut Teneng, the decline in handicraft exports was due to economic recession and declining demand.
Although on the decline, the cottage industry sector in Bali contributed 32.6% to Bali total export earnings of US$481.83 million in 2012.
Textiles, garments, footwear and handbags dominate Bali's handicrafts exports. Major destination markets are the U.S.A., Australia, Singapore and the European Union.

NEW YORK — From the time that Google killed off Google Reader (R.I.P.), there has been speculation that Facebook was working on a sort of news reader of its own. In a way this seemed odd, because Facebook already is a sort of news reader of its own, albeit one in which much of the "news" is about your friends' cats, babies and vacations. And it's getting newsier all the time. Why, then, would Facebook want or need another product that does the same thing?
Well, this week Facebook launched that new app, called Paper, and it looks gorgeous. The company's best designers have clearly been hard at work designing a mobile app that makes the best possible use of a small screen. Photos and videos appear at full-screen size. You navigate by swiping, a natural motion that mobile news-reading apps like Flipboard have employed to great success. Stories and updates from your friends appear in the form of cards that can be readily scrolled, shuffled, maximized and minimized.
Here's the thing: It's still not clear what's so different about this app from the wildly successful mobile app that Facebook already has. Is Paper essentially just a simplified, prettified version of Facebook with a different name?
In short, yes — but that might be a good thing. First of all, as big a hit as Facebook's mobile app is (and as the company's latest quarterly earnings demonstrate, it is a huge hit), it's far from the most aesthetically pleasing thing in the app store. Nor is it optimized to offer a pleasurable reading or viewing experience. And finally, as much as people check Facebook on their phones, they tend to sort of hate themselves for doing it.
The Facebook app works best as a simple tool for checking in on what friends are up to, or to quickly share your own photos or status updates and see what your friends are saying about them. It's great for pulling out of your pocket and glancing at the little "notifications" icon to make sure you haven't missed anything important. Paper, meanwhile, may be better for the occasions when you actually have a little time to read some articles, watch videos, and so forth. It represents a way for Facebook to go after the Flipboard audience without detracting from the utilitarian functionality of its main app.
Paper, in this view, is essentially just a second version of the Facebook app that's tailored to a different use case. If that sounds odd, consider that Google has a whole bevy of apps for different use cases. My iPhone alone has Gmail, Chrome, Google Maps, Google, Google Plus (don't judge), YouTube and Chromecast apps. Paper would be only my third Facebook app, after Facebook and Instagram. (Facebook Messenger also has proven popular as a standalone offering.)
But there's a second thing that's different about Paper: It's manually customizable, giving users the ability to swipe between content sections like "Tech," "Planet," "Headlines" and "LOL." That positions it as a possible answer to one of the loudest user criticisms of Facebook over the years — that, for all its advanced algorithms, the News Feed never seems to show you exactly the kind of things you want it to show you.
People have long complained that their News Feed is cluttered with junk and social detritus, despite the best efforts of Facebook's engagement-maximization machines. At the same time, the bizarre complaint that Facebook is "hiding" worthwhile stories and updates (Out of sheer spite? As a way to blackmail people into paying to promote their posts?) refuses to go away. Paper gives the company a way to hand some of the keys back to the individual user: "Here, you tell us what kind of stuff you really want to see."
It's too early to tell whether Paper will really catch on. It's possible a lot of users want less Facebook in their lives, not more. And it may be that when people want to read the news, they'd prefer to read just the news, not the news combined with their friends' Facebook posts.
That said, the basic idea of launching standalone apps — of which Mark Zuckerberg has promised more in the years to come — is a smart one for a company whose biggest problem may be the public's fatigue with its primary brand. Note that Instagram has not seemed to suffer from the same complaints about coolness as Facebook, even though it's part of Facebook. Paper doesn't look "cool," per se, but it does look different from Facebook. For some people, that may be reason enough to give it a shot.

TOLEDO — It's been a strange couple of years for Vermilion graduate Andy Oliver, but odd things seem to happen to the Class AAA Indianapolis Indians left-hander.
After his high school baseball career was over, Oliver was drafted in the 17th round by the Minnesota Twins. Like most high school draftees, Oliver sought legal advice regarding his contract negotiations with Minnesota.
When he could not come to terms with the Twins, Oliver accepted a scholarship to pitch at Oklahoma State University, where he had stellar freshman and sophomore seasons, posting a combined 13-3 record.
However, on the eve of the 2008 NCAA playoffs, the NCAA ruled he was ineligible due to his accepting legal advice when negotiating with Minnesota. Oliver sued for reinstatement, which a judge granted in February of 2009.
After his junior year, Oliver was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the second round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft, the 58th overall player selected. He signed with the Tigers and, by the end of the 2010 season, was called up to the majors and made his debut.
He made five starts for Detroit in 2010 and two more in 2011. His fastball was clocked in the high 90s and his secondary pitches, a curveball and changeup, were developing ahead of schedule.
It didn't last. Oliver somehow lost command of his fastball. He piled up strikeouts, but plenty of walks along with them. For the Tigers' AAA affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens, Oliver pitched 147 innings in 2011. He struck out 143 batters, but also walked 80.
With the Mud Hens in 2012, Oliver pitched 118 innings, striking out 112 while walking 88. He was 8-12 with a 4.71 earned run average in 2011 and 5-9 with a 4.88 ERA last season.
On Dec. 5, 2012, the Tigers traded him to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Ramon Cabrera, and Oliver left spring training as a member of the Indianapolis Indians.
This season he started 20 games before being moved to the bullpen. He has a 5-4 record with a 4.16 ERA. His strikeout totals are good ... 115 in 106 innings, but he's still struggling with his control, having walked 99.
"One of the biggest things I need to do is to be consistent," Oliver said. "My fastball command right now … I leave some arm-side up and am behind the ball instead of staying on top of it. That's my biggest issue, there are no problems with anything else.
"My secondary pitches are all good but sometimes I tend to not stay on top of the ball and am leaving some things up.
"It's something I've been trying to work on. … It's mechanical. I know the more consistent I can be in staying on top of the ball I can start driving it in on a righty. The more I can repeat that, obviously, the more consistent I will be. I'm doing the work and figuring it out."
It has been an adjustment for Oliver, moving to a new organization and leaving the one that drafted him behind. The Indians currently lead the International League West Division with a 70-54 record, 11 games ahead of both the Cleveland Indians' AAA affiliate, Columbus, and the Louisville Bats, who both sport 60-64 records.
"It was a little difficult because I didn't really know anyone over here," Oliver said. "I knew a couple of players but as far as staff and personnel I have to get to know them. They also have to get to know me and my personality. But it's been fine. I'm pretty happy. I feel like this is a good organization here and, obviously, in Pittsburgh.
"This is a good group of guys from what little time I've spent with them and we're doing good things as a team.
"It's a different organization and it takes awhile to figure out exactly what's going on, especially when you leave an organization you've spent quite a few years with and know where you're at. For me, in my experience, when there is a change you just have to feel it out, see how it goes and whatever happens, happens."
Oliver is also excited about what is going on with the big club in Pittsburgh. After Monday's action the Pirates, at 70-47, led the NL Central by three games and owned the second-best record in the major leagues.
"If you're in the organization you obviously pay attention to what's going on with the big club," he said. "They're doing good things up there and have a good ballclub."
One thing he does not know is what the Pirates have in mind for him in the future. When asked if he had talked with anyone from the organization about future plans, or what those plans were, Oliver did not mince words.
"I don't know ... have no idea."
When asked if that was difficult, he was direct.
Regardless of what the future has in store for Oliver, he's proud of being able to represent Vermilion.
"It's kind of cool," he said. "Everybody is from somewhere and we all have gone through it. Here it doesn't matter what city you're playing in, they're all kind of close by. But it's cool and there are a lot of people from Vermilion I still talk to."

Print Recipe
Serve these delicious oysters with a table cracker for the whole family to enjoy.
This really simple sauce is all about the balance and harmony between the sweetness – palm sugar, saltiness – fish sauce, sourness – lime juice and heat – chili. As every ones taste buds and heat thresholds are different it may be necessary for you to adjust the amounts I have given according to your own taste buds. The palm sugar adds a lovely delicate and fuller sweetness than white sugar would.
Grate the palm sugar into a bowl and add the other ingredients giving them a good stir. I gently heat my sauce on the BBQ so as to make sure the palm sugar is melted and well integrated into the sauce – you don't need to cook it just make sure the sugar has dissolved completely. Set aside.
Shuck your oyster – you can't get them any fresher than that.
Dunk the shucked oysters into a pot of boiling water and let them boil for around 30 seconds – this firms the flesh up a little.
Scoop the oysters out and place on a dry clean tea towel and pat completely dry. They must be dry or the smoke will not stick to them.
Put the wood chips into the smoke box and place the box directly on top of the coals.
Put the BBq rack in and then the cake rack on top of the BBq rack on the other side of the Webber away from the heat.
Place oysters onto the cake rack and put the lid down and let the smoke do its thing for about 25 – 35 minutes turning the oysters after about 15 minutes.
The oysters should be firm to the touch and not obviously raw or watery in the middle.
Throw oysters into the bowl of chili sauce and toss then serve each oyster onto a table cracker and enjoy.
Note: If using a Webber you should have lit it 40 minutes ago!! They are great to cook and especially great to smoke on but you need to think ahead in terms of getting them to the right temp to cook on. Light coals on only one side of the Webber as you do not need too much heat say around 120° or so.

victory, Dance to Bristol's sixth straight at five different tracks,
sent trainer Ollie Figgins, III to the Spa winners' circle for the first
time, and denied Hall of Fame trainer H. Allen Jerkens yet another
upset victory at the track where he built much of his reputation as "The
Giant Killer."
A 4-year-old daughter of Speightstown won the six-furlong race in 1:09.73.
at the Bowie Training Center in Maryland, Dance to Bristol now has won
nine of 17 starts with seven seconds, and Figgins, a third-generation
horseman and son of a jockey, said the Honorable Miss was the most
difficult race of her career.
the cleanest of trips she's ever had, and you don't know how she's
going to react because she's always had nice, perfect trips - you
couldn't draw them up any better - and today is the first time she had
to do that," he said. "It was nice."
the start, Munnings Sister broke sharply from her outside post and Livi
Makenzie went to the front from the inside. Less than an eighth of a
mile into the race, however, Classic Point, a sharply improving
4-year-old out of the claiming ranks, moved to the leaders and took
84, who saddled Emma's Encore to upset the Grade 1 Prioress last summer
at Saratoga, had turned around Classic Point in her two most recent
starts, sharp optional claiming scores at Belmont Park.
Point zipped through an opening quarter-mile in 22.11 seconds and a
half-mile in 44.98 as Burban and Livi Makenzie both chased and
