Maze stadium plan bill hits £4m
A breakdown of the costs of the stalled Maze stadium project has emerged as questions remain over the range of estimates which were given.
With the Stormont Executive anticipated to discuss a decision not to proceed with the project, Sports and Culture Minister Gregory Campbell has totalled costs for the multi-sports complex at close to £4m.
The latest costings come after the Belfast Telegraph revealed in December a deal between Sinn Fein and the DUP has ruled the stadium out for four years.
The two parties have also agreed, however, that a Conflict Resolution Centre will be built on the former prison site near Lisburn and Mr Campbell is expected to confirm a major refurbishment of Windsor Park.
In a written answer to Ulster Unionist MLA George Savage, Mr Campbell detailed the organisations his department contracted, the functions they undertook, and the payments they have received, including
l PricewaterhouseCoopers: Development of Business Plan and Outline Business Case £285,691
l Mott MacDonald/HOK Sports Partnership Stadium Design £3,139,530
l KPMG/Davis Langdon Programme Management £144,922
l Fire IMC Advertising for Naming Rights Competition £10,374
l Mott MacDonald CEEQUAL(sustainability/environmental quality assessment) £4,670
l Central Procurement Directorate Procurement £13,521
While Mr Campbell's department has refused to comment on speculation, Mr Savage said the decision not to proceed would leave people disadvantaged. "I knew there was a lot of money spent on it but I did not realise that it was this much," the Upper Bann MLA said. "This £4m has been badly managed and badly handled. Now we are left with the Maze project and no one knows where it is going."
Last May a leaked report from the Department of Finance and Personnel, revealed in the Belfast Telegraph, calculated the net expenditure costs by 2014-15 of between £307m and £379m, some three times the original estimates.

Arcata residents may soon no longer see or smell quite as many people lighting up -- cigarettes, at least -- while shopping or dining downtown.
A new city ordinance that further restricts smoking within city limits is slated to take effect Friday after the Arcata City Council unanimously adopted it during a June meeting.
"What we're trying to do is minimize the situations in which especially nonsmokers will be exposed to secondhand smoke," Arcata Councilman Michael Winkler said. "Both morally and just at the federal perspective from the Clean Air Act people have a right to breathe clean air, and this is the city council taking a step to make sure that people enjoy that right."
The city's existing ban will be expanded to include prohibiting smoking from Seventh to 11th streets and from J Street to U.S. Highway 101, at special events and outdoors areas including the Arcata Community Forest and the Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, according to a staff report.
The 20 foot no-smoking zone in front of businesses will be expanded to 30 feet and apply to common areas of apartment buildings, excluding designated smoking areas, a staff report states.
The ban drew varying reactions recently on the plaza.
"It's a good thing," Arcata resident David Dahler said. "There's a lot of problems on the plaza. I don't want to 'judgify' Arcata, and I want it to be the cool, groovy place, but freedom requires some responsibility. I think it's unfortunate law enforcement has to be the babysitters of the plaza."
Ansel Ortiz, visiting from Eureka, said he thought the ban was a good idea.
"It does smell bad. It's unpleasant to get a waft of smoke in your mouth when you're eating," Ortiz said. "People may call it an infringement on people's rights, but it's also an infringement on people's rights that don't want to smell the smoke."
Others disagreed.
"I started smoking cigarettes at 20," transient Michael Landers said. "That was my choice. Now you tell me I can't smoke what I choose to smoke? Where's my freedom? I think there should be designated smoking areas."
Samoa resident George Cooper said he saw pros and cons.
"If I were to be down here with kids I wouldn't want to walk through a bunch of people smoking, but down here drinking and smoking go hand and hand," he said. "There should be somewhere you can go."
The purpose of the ordinance, according to a staff report, is to "protect the public health and welfare of Arcata citizens," and to "strike a reasonable balance between persons who smoke and nonsmokers to breath smoke-free air, and to recognize that where these needs conflict, the need to breath smoke-free air shall have priority."
The Arcata Police Department will be in charge of enforcing the ban. The penalty will be an infraction comparable to dog off leash ticket, City Manager Randy Mendosa previously said.
"It will certainly be enforced like all city ordinances," APD Sgt. Todd Dokweiler said. "There will be most likely some grace period and education before any new citations are issued as with any new law or ordinance that comes into effect, but after that period it will be enforced just like any other ordinance.
"I don't think it's going to be too difficult to enforce it," Dokweiler said. "I don't see it as being a significant burden."
But Everett's Club co-owner Linda Puzz said she sees people smoking and drinking on the plaza every day.
"They can't even contain the marijuana smoking on the plaza, so how can they contain the regular smoking?" Puzz said.
For now, residents will have to wait and see.
"My belief is to have clean air, and everyone benefits from that," Arcata CIty Councilwoman Alex Stillman said. "There's an appreciation of not having to walk through a cloud of smoke."

All eyes are on Moose Jaw, Sask. this week as the Canada Cup is in full gear.
The event, now in its 10th year, will declare the men's and women's champions on Sunday, but the real carrots are two prized berths into the 2013 Olympic Trials.
Last year, Kevin Martin of Edmonton and Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg won the Cup and cashed the first Trials tickets; they since have been joined by world men's champion Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont. and Canadian women's champion Heather Nedohin of Edmonton.
Those four are back in action this week, looking to score cash from the $140,000 prize purse and, where possible, to ruin other folks' Olympic dreams.

While the rest of us are recovering from the holidays and mulling over the best ways to spend our gift cards, the GOP hopefuls are making their final pleas to the citizens in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Just in case they have run out of campaign material, the debt ceiling compromise of summer 2011 is a gift that keeps on giving. President Barack Obama is expected to formally request to raise the debt ceiling again today. While this move should be no surprise, given the terms our dysfunctional Congress agreed to last summer, it will be greeted with political theatrics nonetheless.
While the obstinate Republican freshmen would love to vote against another debt ceiling increase, the timing of Obama's request should deny them that pleasure. Congress will be allowed 15 days to vote on a resolution of disapproval, which could in turn be vetoed by the president. However, because neither the House nor the Senate are in session until Jan. 17, a resolution will not be introduced.
It is possible, of course, that the leadership of both the House and Senate could summon their colleagues back to work early. Presumably, though, this do-nothing Congress[1] would not be able to accomplish such a feat. It barely passed a middle-class tax cut at Christmastime.
The Republican presidential hopefuls are another story altogether. They are pounding the pavement and the airways hard in Iowa. As the candidates make their final appeals to caucus-goers, Romney, Gingrich and the rest likely will pounce on an opportunity to bash the Obama administration for profligate spending and for legislating during a Congressional recess. Before you buy what they will be selling, let's review the facts.
First, raising the debt ceiling does not authorize the government to spend more money or "money we don't have." It simply allows the government to pay bills that already have been accumulated. If one of us has buyer's remorse after a holiday shopping spree and refuses to pay our credit card when the bill came due, we would not be reining in our spending. Rather, we'd be sacrificing our credit rating. The American government, by way of its elected legislators, already has bought the product. If we don't pay the bill, we can't return our purchase — it simply means the bill isn't getting paid and our credit rating is downgraded.
Second, Obama is not asking Congress for something it was not expecting. When the debt ceiling discussions were under way last summer, all parties involved knew how much the government would need to keep itself going through the 2012 elections. As part of the agreement, the GOP decided it would be a great idea to give everyone the chance to "disapprove" of the spending, even though they had already agreed to it.
This is golden material for campaign ads. Candidates will be able to proudly display their "conservative" credentials by publicly ranting against the debt ceiling one more time. But when you hear that familiar refrain coming out of Iowa, remember that it is just the same old song being replayed one more time.

George Brunner
My maternal great-great grandfather was George Brunner b. 20 May 1849 in Germany, married Josephine Wagner (b. 4 April 1850) in 1870. I think they may have been married in Germany. Unfortunately no counties or cities are listed for either of them. They did have a daughter, Rose Josephine b. 8 Sep 1873. If anyone shares any of these ancestors with these dates please let me know. I would love to know more about my family tree.
My Maternal Great-Great Grandmother was Josephine Wagner born in New York (no city or county listed) on 4 April 1850. She married George Brunner (b. 20 May 1849) in 1870 possibly in Germany. I have no other information unfortunately, but wonder if anyone else out there has these ancestors with these names and dates. George and Josephine had at least one daughter Rose Josephine b. 8 Sep 1873 in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York. Don't know if that helps, but I'm giving as much info as I can find.

I was hanging wet socks and underwear on racks in the garage when I heard the dryer cut off. Moments later R. poked her head out the back door and said the electricity had gone off It was 4:30 p.m.
It had been a windy day, following last night's thunderstorm, and returning from a walk earlier, we had noticed R.s bedside clock "blinking twelve", so we'd already had a brief outage.
She had meant to cook picadillo for supper, and she forged ahead, (we have a gas range, which can be lit with matches when the power is out). She set up a directional flashlight on a tripod to help as the light waned, pressing me into service to chop shallots, garlic, poblano peppers, olives. Could I get the portable radio going with batteries? Alas, we were out of AA batteries. Surely, I thought, the power would be back on soon.
A trip to the drugstore for AA batteries began to seem like a good idea. Without electricity, I had to open the garage door manually, but it wouldn't stay open enough to take the car, so I took the Vespa. I saw that the power was out all along Magnolia Avenue, the local artery, and the traffic light at Circle & Magnolia was out as well.
We ate our supper by candle light, listening to Harp & Thistle on the radio. By now it was quite dark. We prayed the rosary, and then listened to more NPR: Fresh Air, The Splendid Table, Millennium of Music. We had looked forward to tonight's episode of Downton Abbey, but it was not to be. We'll have to watch the repeat on Saturday.
She thanked me for going to get batteries for the radio, and I agreed, it was a great comfort. I thought what the advent of the radio must have meant to people back in the 1920's and '30's.
R. went to bed. I read on my Sony Reader by candle light for an hour or so. At a quarter to twelve the lights came on. I reset her alarm clock without waking her, reset the garage door, started the dryer, put the leftovers in the refrigerator, prepared the coffee maker, hung the clothes in the dryer on hangers.

FAU may not have added any commitments during its first major high school recruiting weekend, but it did impress players drawing interest from BCS schools.
Originally published on
Chuck King
Florida Atlantic may not have garnered any new commitments during its first major high school recruiting visit weekend, but the Owls did impress players who still have visits planned to more traditional football schools.
"I liked the players, the coaches, the atmosphere - It felt like I was right at home. I felt like I knew everybody. I could relate," said Gainesville running back Raphael Webb, who still expects to take visits to Boston College, Minnesota and possibly Vanderbilt.
"I didn't really have any expectations, but it was real nice and l liked it down there."
Six of the 14 recruits who visited FAU this weekend had already committed to the Owls.
Of the eight other players - all high schoolers - most have at least one scheduled trip to a BCS school remaining on their itinerary.
The closest to announcing a decision may be Riviera Beach-Suncoast defensive lineman Ke'Tyrus Marks, who also has interest from Northern Illinois and Western Kentucky.
"I loved my visit (to FAU)," he said. "I just want to get a second opinion from my father."
Jacksonville-University Christian defensive lineman Marquis Haynes, a North Carolina commit, and Vero Beach offensive lineman Chris Flaig, a Florida International commit, also made official visits to FAU this weekend.
Coral Springs-Taravella defensive back Robert Miller has an offer from Indiana, but chose to visit to FAU first.
The Owls also had two quarterbacks on campus. Todd Porter from O'Fallon (Illinois) has interest from Western Kentucky, while Port St. Lucie's D.J. Juste still expects to take visits to Illinois and potentially Georgia Southern.
"Im really just looking for a good program and good coaches," said Porter, who expects to visit the Hilltoppers next weekend. "The coaches (at FAU) proved they are really good coaches."
Juste actually broke away from the visit for a few hours on Saturday to play in the Palm Beach County-Treasure Coast All-Star Games, where he was named MVP.
"I loved my visit - it went great," Juste said. "FAU treated me like I was home. I felt I was a part of the team."
Those who had already committed to FAU said the visit only reinforced their decision.
"There was no doubt when I came in but it definitely reassured me," Tampa-Chamberlain defensive back Ronnie Scott said.
Here is a list of all 14 visitors who came to Boca Raton.

Use This Technique
When you consider how easy it is to open a jar or box of artichoke hearts, the idea of trimming a whole artichoke to get at its tender heart may hardly seem worth it.
While those frozen and vacuum-packed artichokes often come in handy, there are times when only the sweetness and firmer texture of fresh artichokes will do (as in this recipe for braised artichoke hearts with capers). Oh, but the tedious plucking and peeling and cutting...
"Think of it as the hardy thistle that it is, and attack it."
If you approach the task of trimming an artichoke as if you are delicately pulling at rose petals, yes, it will take a while. But try this instead: think of it as the hardy thistle that it is, and attack it. Whenever I trim an artichoke, I imagine myself as the owl from the old Tootsie Roll Pop commercials: how many licks does it take to get to the center? A one, a two, a three, chomp.
This slideshow will explain two artichoke-trimming techniques: one for whole artichokes, the other for the hearts.

Leaders in the sector have a critical role to play to embed an impact approach throughout their work. We want to help charities and social enterprises know what good impact practice looks like, and encourage good impact leadership so they can take steps to improve. This work is led by NCVO and ACEVO.
Read about our work under this theme below.
Code of Good Impact Practice
Charities and social enterprises wanting to measure impact can be faced with many different methods and definitions. It can be difficult to know what approach or level of detail is appropriate for your organisation. Inspiring Impact aims to provide clarity about what good impact measurement practice looks like, to help charities and social enterprises measure better.
Inspiring Impact has developed a Code of Good Impact Practice for charities and social enterprises, taking inspiration from the Code of Good Governance. The code sets out what good practice looks like for charities and social enterprises, and what methods are appropriate for different sizes and types of organisation. Following a draft code for consultation in February 2013, we published the final version in June.
Making the case for an impact approach
Many leaders of charities and social enterprises see only the costs associated with impact measurement, and not the benefits – this is one reason for the lack of investment in impact measurement.
Inspiring Impact has developed a document to set out the case for an impact approach, exploring the benefits – including how focusing on impact can help improve services, motivate frontline staff and reduce monitoring burdens – and weighing these against the costs of measurement.
We are also keen to spread examples of good practice through publications such as Evaluation Support Scotland's good practice case study report.

text: One of THOSE days. The office is making me insane. After lunch I finally brewed my first cup. I needed something peaceful but not boring. This nicely fit the bill. Finally caught what ashmanra called pepper notes in this. It is not an up high pepper note but more under the flavor, if that makes sense. It fades as the cup cools and I believe it is the sharpness of the bergamot reacting with the tea leaf. I normally don't drink this hot. I let it cool until it is just warm, so I had never noticed this before. A new flavor note in an old favorite.

I would play without ULMB, and make use of the full refresh rate.
Reason are:
- ULMB only improve clarity on objects that you are actively precisely tracking and focusing on by using a particular eyes movement called smooth pursuit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_pursuit
- 240fps already improves the above significantly compared to 144fps (image persistence goes from ~6.9 ms to ~4.1 ms)
- 240fps will bring more clarity to the majority of motions you experience on the monitor (motions that are relative to the stare) by reducing the amplitude of stroboscopic steps (phantom array effect)
- ULMB adds by itself a small amount of input lag.
- ULMB requires vsync to look smooth. Vsync adds a considerable amount of input lag.
- ULMB prevents the use of Gsync.

You Are Near[CD]
~ Kiemi
Product Notes
Born in Malang, Indonesia, Kiemi moved to Rochester, New York when she was eight years old. At 18, she moved to California to pursue a degree in fashion design. One year later, those plans changed when she met Jesus, her first love. Thereafter, she became a music director and to date has led thousands to worship her Prince and Life. As a songwriter, she writes about her personal friendship with the King, along with truths that have set her free. For instance, when she realized that her best Friend was closer to her than anyone could ever be because God lives within, she wrote "You Are Near". The morning after the Deliverer set her free from a seven-month long trial, "You Are the One I adore" was penned, and "Mender of Broken Hearts" was inspired by a vision she saw of the Great Physician healing her broken heart. One month after the "You Are Near" album was completed, she did a series of concerts in Indonesia that fundamentally changed her worldview. Not only did the Faithful and True answer 11 of her lifelong prayers in that trip, but what she experienced there completely transformed and opened her eyes to the truth that, "... The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." - Matt. 9:37. Burdened with that reality, Kiemi has since committed herself to revealing the Bridegroom's endless love that heals and liberates! WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING . . . "WOW! The thing that moved me the most is your voice, your music, and above all your MESSAGE. I listened to 'Mender of Broken Hearts' five consecutive times. I kept hitting the replay button over and over again. By the second run, I was in tears. God's spirit ministered to me in ways that I haven't experienced in months. This song literally pierced through my darkness and caused my burden to be lifted. My yolk was light again! Kiemi, the only thing I can say is THANK YOU, and THANK GOD for NEVER giving up. You didn't bury your talent you multiplied it. And because you didn't quit, the rest of us have been blessed! God is good!" ~ A.D. "About your CD, I feel like I am going to cry ... I can hear your cries, suffering, your joy, laughter, devotion to the Lord and passion for the captive. The power of God is in it and I can feel the Holy Spirit throughout the whole CD. Yes, Satan trembles at God's complete victory, which goes deep into the darkness, proclaiming freedom by the power of Jesus. I believe that these songs were written out of your sufferings and victories. He has delivered you from so many valleys. I pray that God will play this CD in many places to set the captives free!" ~ N.K. "Beautiful voice! Ride the waves of love and success!!!" ~ Steven "Incredible music! Thank you so much for sharing your gift! God Bless!" ~ T.D. "... Great to hear your beautiful voice filling my house with songs of comfort ... " ~ Gina "Kiemi, a beautiful woman, fully dedicated to God and His purposes, caring, reaching out, doing the Hard things in the name of Jesus, not a pretender, REAL, passionate, moving outside the comfort zone, great singer, songwriter and musician, soulful, sad, one who has not seen herself as God sees her, limited only by herself and NOW ... SET FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ~ C.D. "Heart-felt melodies along with a heavenly voice all as an offering to our great God. Beautiful music Kiemi." ~ Wira "Your music is beautiful and very glorifying to our Lord ... " ~ Tanya "Your music is truly beautiful." Aisha "... Your music is very beautiful. Keep singing sis. God bless you in all you do." ~ Sandra "... I saw you yesterday and I thought your music was really amazing ... keep it going ... don't let anything stop you ... !" ~ Geneva.

The dates I've picked are September 12th through the 28th. I've specifically picked this time frame because there's a huge fair that is running during these days that I thought would be fun to go to. There is a lot to do there. My town is small, but we also have a major theme park if anyone is interested in that. Another thing about my end of the state, it's very rural so some things to do will require about a 50+ minute ride (Berkshire's, Yankee Candle Flagship Store, etc...) depending on what you want to do. There's also a set of museums that are close, and one has a planetarium. I haven't seen the planetarium in years.
Right now I'm looking to see who's interested in coming up here and I'm also looking for a co-organizer because with everything I'm dealing with over in General I may not be able to attend, so I'm putting myself on the "maybe" list already.
I also forgot to mention that we even have an ice cream stand named after Moo!
Dates are set!
It'll be the weekend of
Fri 26th, Sat 27th, Sun 28th
I'm leaving the three dates available in case anyone from out of town wants to join the fun. We can plan other activities for that. If it's us "locals" The day will be Saturday the 27th.
Location: Western MA - minutes from CT.
I can give exact location/airport information in a pm. I don't want to post it in the thread.
Nutmegkitty is my back up so you can pm either of us if there are any questions.
Things are getting pretty crazy around here with my upcoming move at the end of the month. I'm not sure how often I'll be on to make updates so I wanted to put together the list of attendees as it stands right now. Please let me know if there are any changes or if anyone needs to be added to a list.

Lawsuit Alleges Problems With Medicaid in Kansas Ends
Associated Press - July 21, 2015 2:42 pm
Advocates for people with disabilities are urging the federal government to require Kansas to quickly clear its backlog of Medicaid applications and to resolve problems with its application process as a condition for approving any renewal of its privatized program.
A former executive of the firm managing part of the privatized Medicaid program in Kansas is ending a lawsuit alleging she was fired after protesting potentially improper cost cutting moves.
A one-sentence stipulation filed Tuesday in federal court notes former Sunflower Vice President Jacqueline Leary and defendants Sunflower State Health Plan Inc., its parent Centene Corporation and others have agreed to dismiss the case. Each pays its own costs and attorneys' fees.
The lawsuit alleged Sunflower stopped assigning Medicaid participants to doctors working for health care providers who were paid a higher-than-standard rate.
The companies disputed that, filing counter claims alleging Leary tried to extort money from them.
Medicaid covers health services for the poor and disabled. Kansas has turned its administration over to Sunflower and two other private companies.

Jose Calderon has been the target of trade speculation since the Toronto Raptors traded for point guard Kyle Lowry this offseason. Calderon has even reportedly worked with the Raptors to find a team with enough cap space to absorb his $10.6 million 2012-13 salary.
Calderon told Marca.com (translated version via HoopsHype) the Raptors told him he is still a candidate to be traded.
"It's true that they have said that I'm an important player for them this season, because they have thought of me like that from the beginning. However, Bryan (Colangelo, Raptors GM) has said that I'm a candidate to be traded because I have a big contract and it's my last year. They have talked about this more than anything else."

This lesson teaches students what economists mean when they talk about people who are employed, unemployed, and not in the labor force. It discusses the Current Population Survey and asks students to pose as government survey workers to determine the employment status of 10 people given in the lesson. Students also create a bar graph and a line graph to create a picture of the information they pretend to collect.
The stock-market crash of 1929 is generally seen as the start of The Great Depression, the worst economic downturn in the history of the United States. The Depression had devastating effects on the country. But it also served as a wake-up call for economic reform. Until the Great Depression, the U.S. government had made very few modifications to the nation's economic policies. It left the dealings of the economy and businesses to their own devices. But once the Great Depression began the nation needed help, FAST! The stock market was in shambles. Many banks closed. Farmers fell into bankruptcy and were forced off their land. Twenty-five percent of the work force, or 13 million people, were unemployed in 1932. In 1933, the Roosevelt Administration addressed the problem by making the government a key player in the nation's economy. Using his New Deal as a force for reform, President Roosevelt created policies, agencies and standards to help alleviate serious problems. The reforms provided America with an economy that has been relatively stable for almost 80 years. Students will be prompted to think about the different programs and policies the New Deal created and how they are relevant to the role of government, and fiscal, and monetary policy, both then and now.
Students will take a surprise trip around the world. As they travel, they will use clues to discover where they are going. They will then figure out how much money they have spent in U.S. dollars, using exchange rates.

Two guys you might never expect to find in the same place at the same time -- a skinny, balding white fellow in preppy shorts and sandals and a heavyset black man in grease-stained blue work pants and a grimy T-shirt stretched taut over his considerable girth A are staring quizzically at a peculiar machine resting atop a table in one of the cluttered aisles of the Dade County Store. The object of their attention looks like something from Dr. Frankenstein's lab: a compact blue electric motor about the size of a loaf of bread, which might or might not be a pump of some sort, haphazardly connected by two clear plastic hoses to a large glass bottle on a low pedestal. The bottle is calibrated in milliliters. The men are inspecting the contraption closely not because either is particularly interested in buying it, but because they cannot figure out what exactly it is.
"Something medical," the black guy guesses. He lifts his tattered baseball hat and uses it to scratch his head. "What d'you think?"
The white guy shrugs. "Damned if I know. It's like these things here," he says, gesticulating toward a box of chrome gauges.
"Regulators," explains the black guy. "Like for oxygen tanks."
"Oh, yeah," says the white guy with a nod. "You buy a lot of stuff here?"
"Whenever I find something I can use. Why d'you ask?"
"I'm writing an article about the store, and--"
"What the hell you doin' that for?" the black guy snaps, tugging his cap back on and backing away. "Then everybody'll know where it is."
"We're in the junk business for the county," explains Clinie Ford, manager of the County Store and, according to the plaque near the entrance, the Dade County General Services Administration's Outstanding Employee of the Fourth Quarter of 1989. Located at 980 W. 84th Street in Hialeah, the combination thrift shop/warehouse where the county unloads its surplus and "found" property is open to the walk-in public five days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
"Don't say 'stolen,'" Ford admonishes. "It might have been stolen property, but it also might have been personal property that went unclaimed in the property room for a period of time, or it could have been confiscated from prisoners or come from the jail. A lot of jewelry comes in like that. It's found property. Not necessarily stolen." As she emphasizes this distinction, her left hand rests upon a display case containing roughly two dozen "found" car stereos.
According to Ford, the County Store's first priority is to try to distribute the property it receives to departments that need it. By her estimate, 25 percent of the warehouse's inventory eventually finds a new home with the Dade County bureaucracy. "But as much as I try to reallocate whatever comes in for county use, there's times when you just can't," she says. "A typewriter or a fax machine or a desk is one thing, but you can't allocate something like perfume. No one better come in here and say, 'I want some perfume for county use.' Most of them know me. They wouldn't dare try that."
The caseful of car stereos isn't a likely candidate for reallocation; they're priced for outright sale. And whoever buys them might as well be stealing them. The County Store is willing to sacrifice an $800 Nakamichi deck for $121, a couple of Blaupunkts for less than $100 apiece, and a Kenwood for $69. If that's still too pricey, there's a Sanyo for two dollars. (It was originally marked at six bucks, but the County Store adheres to an infallible pricing structure: if an item has languished on the shelf for more than ten days, Ford takes ten percent off, and continues to do so until the item sells.)
At Ford's discretion, high-ticket items -- camcorders, diamond rings, antique pocket watches, video security systems, et cetera -- are often sold through an informal bidding system rather than via direct pricing. Bids are collected over the course of about three weeks and then the merchandise is sold to the biggest spender.
Surplus items such as desks, chairs, file cabinets, office telephones, word processors, copiers, shelves, and credenzas occupy the bulk of the store's space. Perfume, jewelry, radios, and watches fill the glass display cases near the warehouse's front door. While Ford and her co-workers know where nearly everything is, there is no real order to the place. But the absence of any discernible floor plan is part of the County Store's considerable charm.
"Most of our business is repeat customers. They come here once and they're hooked," Ford laughs. "It's addictive, like the flea market. In fact, lots of the people who peddle things at the flea market shop here. We have daily customers, they get up every morning and this is their first stop. Then I have my couple-times-a-week regulars, my weekly customers, and some who come in a lot but not on a regular basis. It's all kinds."
Metal racks sagging under the weight of surplus books from the county library system dominate the store's northwest corner. Where else can you buy an entire Encyclopaedia Britannica (albeit a decade or more out of date and missing a few volumes) for a dollar a volume? From popular novels like Jacqueline Susann's Once Is Not Enough and Ken Follett's Eye of the Needle to page-turners like Marketing Opportunities in Japan and Ventilators and Inhalation Therapy, there's bound to be something to fit everyone's reading list here. And the prices are unbelievable: ten fiction books for a dollar; nonfiction four for a dollar. (Ford's justification of the higher price for nonfiction: "It's reality. It costs a little more.")
Need a bicycle? The County Store's got racks of them. Schwinn, Hunter, Raleigh, Murray, Boss Cruiser (a "comfort bike, for people with buns like mine. Don't print that," says Ford) -- you name the brand, they've got it.
"Since we reduce the price of everything until it sells, if we have a doubt about what an item is worth, our price might start out a little bit high," Ford admits, scanning the two-wheelers' tags. "It's always lower than what you'd pay somewhere else, but sometimes not that much lower. This bike here," she says, examining the tag on a Schwinn Super Le Tour in what looks to be very good condition (dusty, but apparently mechanically sound), "started at $149. Now it's $108. For a very nice bicycle. Make a nice Christmas present."
As would much of the County Store's wares. Nintendo machines, fourteen dollars. Bins full of watches priced from one to fifteen dollars. New (still in the box) barbecue grills, $29. A Kenmore microwave oven, $49. A Sears compact stereo with AM/FM receiver, dual cassette deck, turntable, and equalizer, $39 A elegant Formica-finished display rack included!
Dozens of typewriters, from decrepit old IBM Selectrics to sleek Xerox Memorywriter 6010s start at $30. ("They may look like junk, but we sell a lot of them for parts," responds Ford to a comment on the weathered-looking state of disrepair into which many of the machines have fallen.)
TVs? You want TVs? The County Store has a twenty-inch RCA for $129 and a nineteen-inch Sony Trinitron for $19 (a dollar an inch!). You figure out the disparity. Pick up a brand new Genie screw-drive garage- door opener for $125, a Weed Eater for $29 (a Black & Decker version of the same tool is priced at ten dollars less, while a heavy-duty Homelite model sports an asking price of $99).
But wait, there's more! Typewriter ribbons. Copy-machine toner. Automobile engine blocks. Videotapes: Purple Rain, In the Heat of the Night, and that ever-popular trilogy, The Best of Dark Shadows, The Best of Barnabas Collins, and The Resurrection of Barnabas Collins.
The list goes on and on. An EICO 1030 computer backup power supply for $55. A wide range oscillator, $39. A Phone Mate answering machine, fourteen dollars. A primitive Craig "microcassette" player/recorder the size of a large shoebox (no price marked). Calculators, three to ten bucks. A Juliette AM/FM eight-track stereo with turntable, nineteen dollars.
For a paltry $47, no home should be without a test-tube centrifuge. Or a six-dollar lifetime-certified, jewel movement Tycos sphygmomanometer. Sierra T1 spanning repeaters sell for fourteen dollars; prehistoric 16mm projectors will set you back anywhere from $34 to $69. Manual punch-in time clocks, $29. And you can make off with an entire case of twelve-ounce bottles of Vidal Sassoon clear body finishing rinse for eight bucks.
They got your eighteen-inch gas oven lines for $4, Sloan valves (two for a buck), a $29 porcelain sink, and a $19 toilet bowl. A Baldor industrial motor chugs in at only $95, old-fashioned PA systems and police dispatch radios for $42. Or maybe you need some tile -- the County Store offers Colormassa Italian tiles at twelve dollars and up per 27-piece box.
Even if Ford's bike idea doesn't spin your gift-giving wheels, the County Store can be a savior during the holiday shopping season. Imagine the delight on your loved one's face when he or she unwraps that Yanni CD, coral bracelet, JVC remote control, or the ultimate present for the party animal in your life: an authentic blood-alcohol Breathalyzer sent over from the Metro-Dade police department's narcotics division (you might want to replace the yellowing plastic breathing tube; the mouthpiece has been thoroughly chewed).
As you might expect from a government-run enterprise, the County Store imposes a lot of rules on shoppers. Most of them are scribbled on makeshift signs strategically located to ensure the least visibility possible: No smoking. All sales cash and carry. No deposits, no holds. Shirt and shoes required. Checks accepted with proper ID. Cashier reserves the right to refuse to sell any item he/she feel [sic] is mis-marked. No pets. Items without prices will not be sold. If you have seen an item which you feel is priced too high, stop back at a later time. We periodically mark down the prices of our merchandise. Prices are non-negotiable. All items sold as is. No refunds or exchanges. No guarantees.
Caveat emptor, in other words. But with a twist: in many cases the County Store will let you test an item on the premises before you pay for it. "If you want to buy a car stereo, we'll let you bring the car and hook it up to see if it works," explains Ford. TV sets, radios, typewriters, calculators, telephones A the County Store will gladly let you perform a test run if you bring your own cables, wires, speakers, and accessories. Just don't expect a lot of help setting everything up.
No, the County Store is not for the shopper who needs a lot of hand-holding. There's no knowledgeable salesman to guide you through the pluses and minuses of, say, the 300-amp Hobart 220-440 volt welder compared to the 400-amp, 230-460 volt model. Or to demonstrate the FATS (Firearm Training System) or the Kango Impact Hammer Drill or the heavy-duty inboard boat motor in the shipping crate. And don't expect a lot of help with the Ingersoll-Rand air compressor, the Deutz diesel engine, or the Sioux steam cleaner. It's a pretty safe bet, though, that the warranty on the 100-year-old Excelsior twenty-inch drill press has expired.
For the Nineties Guy, the County Store presents a veritable bonanza. Somewhere out there Roger, Nino, Hector, and Martin are running around with nameless charm bracelets. Let their loss be your gain. If you prefer to make a more intellectual statement, there are always the "Poverty Sucks" and "Live, Love, Laugh" charms. And if the object of your affection is a Virgin, Betty, Lisa, or a Dannett, you're really in luck. Buy her a gold nameplate for her necklace and tell her how many car payments it set you back at Zales or Mayor's. If that doesn't do the trick, pick up a white Candice Candice fringed skirt and matching bustier top (size large) for $39, or the same outfit in black for $31. What woman could resist such lavish gift-giving?
Rings are a little trickier. The majority of the store's selection breaks down into either initials or zodiac signs; the former may prove difficult to match with the name on your new charm bracelet. A reliable alternative is to opt for the traditional Playboy bunny. You have to wonder how the guy who lost that ring is doing now that he no longer has his fine taste in finger-wear to advertise his class and sexual prowess. Just imagine the hordes of sophisticated fashion models who will flock to your side when they catch a glimpse of that elegant rabbit adorning your pinkie. And all for a pittance.
Once you've got "Poverty Sucks" on your wrist, a Virgin wrapped around your neck, and the potent sexual lure on your finger, you'll no doubt want to complete the transformation into the new swinging you with the proper scents and fragrances. Luckily, the County Store is stocked. Salsa shampoo by Raphael can be had for a paltry three dollars per eight-ounce bottle. Apräs bain, you'll want to dab on a little eau de toilette. For hommes, there's Beretta (look like Robert Blake or just smell like him)cologne by Parfums Delphes of Paris, only fifteen dollars for a 100-milliliter bottle. For women, a variety of enticing odors: Exetera, Lovely, Gianni Finzi, Rosa Bella, Sablon, Rose Rouge, and Rose Love, all for the same low fifteen bucks. Should something domestic be more to your nose's liking, Lady Stetson rides along at ten dollars for a two-ounce supply.
What outfit would be complete without the latest sexy electronic gadgetry to round out the accessories? The County Store can have you swaggering down the street in no time, a walkie-talkie ($29 to $149) strapped to one side of your belt, a Motorola beeper ($19) clipped to the other. And don't forget the radar detector ($14 and up) and the BellSouth Mobility telephone for your car. Never skimp on the status symbols.
Clinie Ford maintains a small library of guidebooks to help her price the merchandise, but it's no easy job and she admits that a savvy buyer might occasionally profit handsomely at the store's expense. There's a rumor of a rare book, for example, purchased for 25 cents and resold to a collector for more than $1000. And while Ford will test the diamonds, gold, and silver for weight and authenticity, she is often flying by the seat of her pants when she assesses their value.

"I use a lot of reference manuals," says the manager, rolling her eyes. "Sometimes I have to take a trip to JC Penney to verify things."
Ford's duties extend beyond the wall of the warehouse. She also helps with the General Services Administration's vehicle auctions A buses, garbage trucks, and so forth. The warehouse is too small to house these vehicles, but negotiations are under way to secure an adjacent lot to store heavy equipment. Meanwhile, Ford distributes flyers advertising such upcoming sales.
But while her purview may exceed the warehouse's four concrete-block walls, nothing that goes on inside escapes Ford's scrutiny. She's a benevolent dictator, and make no mistake about it A the County Store is her turf. No one who enters this domain avoids an appraising glance. When a customer who has located a $75 laser printer wants to pay with a check but can only come up with one form of ID, it is Ford who plays the heavy and nixes the transaction. Polite but firm. It's easy to see why she got that Outstanding Employee of the Fourth Quarter of 1989 plaque.
You wonder if they really ought to be offering the Diebold cannonball safe they received from the Dade tax collector. It's the old-fashioned kind, big as an NFL lineman, and it cuts an imposing figure near the door. With deals like these, they could use it to hold all the loot. And to make sure none of the proceeds become found property.

Davie, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Brady Quinn didn't last long in Miami.
The former Notre Dame star quarterback and first-round draft choice was cut by the Dolphins after two weeks with the team.
Quinn signed with Miami earlier this month and appeared in one preseason game against Tampa Bay, completing all four of his passes for 22 yards. He did not play last week against Dallas, meaning Matt Moore will likely be the backup to Ryan Tannehill.
"It was short lived but I enjoyed every second," Quinn wrote on his Twitter feed Tuesday. "Thank you Miami Dolphins for the opportunity to play the game I love again. Best of luck to all the players and coaches this season!"
Quinn, selected 22nd overall by Cleveland in the 2007 draft, has thrown for 3,043 yards with 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in 24 NFL games.
The Dolphins also waived wide receivers Armon Binns and Ryan Spadola, tight end Brett Brackett, center Tyler Larsen, cornerback Steven Clarke and defensive linemen Rakim Cox and Cory Grissom.
Miami also placed running back Mike Gillislee, tight end Arthur Lynch and defensive tackle A.J. Francis on injured reserve.

At eight months pregnant, I had a dream my new baby boy was born. He came out with pale white skin, blue eyes, and long, pin-straight red hair. He didn't look like he belonged to me at all. As a light-skinned, biracial black woman with an Italian mother, an African-American father, and a white husband, the notion that my son could look white isn't too far off from reality.
In the dream when I looked at him I felt sad and disappointed at his apparent whiteness. In fact, the sadness lingering in my gut was so intense it woke me up. It felt awful to again address the racism I still struggled with as I considered the implications of giving birth to two sons who may be perceived as white men. I felt awful. Even in my dreams, I'm a racist.
It was painful to look into the face of my sin and admit that here is a deep racism that exists so far under the surface it's been quite difficult to unearth.
The racism I have struggled with was the fear of recklessness in white men. The type of recklessness that can decide to go to one country pick up a group of people, enslave, degrade, hunt and herd them for several hundred years.
Instead of a natural extension of trust, there is fear. My struggle with this issue goes far back to my childhood days when my very own white brother began calling me a "stupid nigger" when I was six years old. "Oh, yeah, you're a power hungry honkey," I would retort back. Even now, my brother is still the epitome of reckless and blatantly unapologetic racist white boy behavior that I have come to loathe.
One would assume that for all of my brother's ills it would be balanced out by my white husband, who is the exact opposite. My husband Dave is the epitome of kind, thoughtful wonderfulness who embraces blacks, diversity, and humans in general with compassion and love. He may be the best and most upright person I've ever met in all humanity.
Here's the trouble: that's not how it works. God calls me to love my enemies -- not let one good man balance out the evils of my enemies whom God has called me to love. God has not asked me to perceive my white husband as one of the good ones amongst a sea of evil white men. God asks me -- and therefore all of us as believers -- to love, embrace, and even go out of our way for our sworn enemy.
Certainly then, God wants me to be at peace with my sons looking like white men. My responsibility to these two precious barely biracial boys of mine is to teach them how to love themselves in the exact way God created them to look, whether that brings them privilege or pain. My responsibility is to teach them to love their black and white heritage. My responsibility is to teach them to deal honestly and obediently with the racism that may one day exist in their hearts.
Even if it's in their dreams.

I have a problem concerning the booting of my computer.
When I start my computer the screen works and it starts it's loading with the usual Windows screen. The problem is tough that it goes black after that.
I have tried starting it up in Safemode and pretty much all the other settings after you pressed f8.
The only thing that happens when I enter safemode is that it starts writing commands all over the screen and then totaly freezes.
And with the other settings it either goes black again or also freezes.
I have been looking around the internet with another computer to find tips or hints how to solve it. But none really applies to my specific situation.
Is there any suggestions as towards to what I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

|Hello Daffid ,
I think you need specialised help ; either a friendly technical person who can sit in front of your screen with you or perhaps a cry for help on a specialised website such as bleeping computer (since you have access on/from another computer) :-
or perhaps a more general site for brain storming :-
It always seems impossible until its done.

If you wish to set up a return for this knob and a new order for the skirt please do not hesitate to give us a call. You are also welcome to visit our new Live Chat, Monday to Friday from 8AM to 4PM EST
Hope this helps!
All I did was put the three pieces together (1-2-3! So easy) and attached to the metal piece of the dryer. Now I can set the dryer to any temperature and time I need!
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I ordered a new timer skirt and also a new timer knob(only to be safe) and they arrived the next day! I watched the instruction video on your website and it showed me how to take apart the skirt knob and cover. It was so easy. I reassembled the three parts which took about 2 minutes and put it back on the silver post that holds the timer dial. It worked as good as new. My husband was proud of me. I have recommended your website to my friends.
Researched for the part numbers and found the parts needed. In this case the timer knob is made up of 3 separate pieces that easily snap together.
Ordered the part..... waited a few days fro it to arrive, (it came quite quick considering). Sat down in my easy chair and assembled the knob and gave it to my wife to slip it on the dryer. Whew, I was beat.... hehe
Wow it was the easiest thing I have ever done.. I am NOT a DIY person.. Company wanted $108.00 to do, it cost me less than $20.00 and 2 minutes.. I have told everyone I know!!! Thanks
Discovered the problem then did an internet search for the part ordered and received it in 4 days.
Removed clip that held timer knob in place, replaced timer know with new one and reinstalled clip. The snapped on the new cap. Took a whole minute to do.
Inserted the Timer Dial Skirt onto the metal timer post aligning flat side, then the Timer Knob into the Skirt, and finally pushed the Timer Knob insert Cap on top aligning 4 prongs. Done!
called SEARS told part not available any longer. Would have to purchase new dryer. Also told part could not be ordered from MAYTAG due to age. Called PART SELECT and had new parts in four days. Put new knob on, Placed door lock in hole, JOB DONE (15 minutes) saved $ 500 to $600 on new one. Wayne
hey this was so easy that 6 year old could put the parts together..I loved this! No repairman and no going to an appliance store and getting frustrated.Easy as pie!
Replaced the igniter and the primary coil. Igniter now glowed but no gas. Replaced the secondary coil and bingo, it worked. Sounds like a common issue. I'd order both coils together and the igniter if you have the same problem.
The piece inside the part was cracked so I could not turn the knob and engage the dryer. I took the dial off and found the parts on PartSelect.com Their diagrams were incredibly helpful. I pulled the old knob off, snapped these two new parts together and put the knob back on....problem solved. I confess, as a woman whose husband does all the repairs in the house, I was very proud of the fact that I solved this one on my own. For $20. I saved mega $$ on a house repair call and parts replacement charge. Thank YOU!
the pictures on your web site allowed me to positively identify the 2 pieces quickly and surely. replacement was a snap and took less than 2 minutes. Thanks!!
I pulled the dial off. Fit the three new parts together. I put in stem of the timer and turned the dryer on.Very easy, No tools required except a screw driver to pry the old knob off.

As cyclists we understand the changes that bicycles have brought to our lives. Consider the poorest country in Latin America, Nicaragua being flooded with 20,000 bicycles. Think the economic impact that bicycles can have, making transportation for work and daily activity so much easier. For those, having a bicycle is a "blessing".

Minnesota Current Farm Situation
These papers describe the current economic conditions and outline some of the opportunities facing Minnesota farmers as they complete 1998 and develop plans for 1999. The first paper, Prospects For Farm Income in 1998, describes the variation in net farm income farmers in the Southeastern and Southwestern Farm Management Associations have experienced over the past twenty years. The possible effects of 1998's low commodity prices and government program payments on net farm income are discussed in the context of this historical variation. This paper points out that some farmers are experiencing a very good year in 1998, while others may have very low net farm income this year. Those with high incomes in 1998 may be primarily interested in opportunities to enhance their cash flow for 1999, while those experiencing financial stress during 1998 may need to consider a wider range of adjustments as they plan for the coming year. The remaining papers provide information farmers may want to consider as they plan their marketing and financial strategies for the coming year. Financial Management Alternatives outlines a wide range of financial management alternatives that can be used to deal with cash flow problems. Some of these alternatives will be of interest to farmers who have difficulty in projecting a positive net cash flow with the relatively low commodity prices being projected for 1999. Others are of primary interest to farmers who have relatively high debt levels and must find ways to improve both their net cash flow and their debt/asset position. Some observers have suggested that the low commodity prices projected for 1999 may lead to reductions in cash rental rates. The paper, Cropland Rental Market Impacts of Low Crop Prices, discusses a procedure to estimate "fair rental rates", and provides an historical perspective of the impact low commodity prices have had on land rental rates. The remaining two papers, Situation and Outlook For the Livestock Sector, and Considerations in Developing a Corn/Soybean Marketing Plan for 1998/1999, discuss the major factors to evaluate and options to consider in developing a marketing plan for corn, soybeans, hogs and cattle for the coming year.

CARSON, Calif.
7 pm PT (UPN)
Once again the Los Angeles Galaxy are returning home after an extended road stretch, hoping their still new digs in Carson will reverse a long winless streak. The Galaxy didn't win in more than a month away from Victoria Street, drawing three times and losing once in league play, while also being dumped out of the U.S. Open Cup by second-division opposition. But they face a Columbus Crew team that hasn't lost since June, winning two and drawing four in their second-longest unbeaten run of the year (having earlier gone on a seven-match stretch).

The Los Angeles Galaxy saw their winless skein run to four games - though losing for the first time in that run - in a 3-0 loss to the MetroStars last Sunday at the Meadowlands. Still, the Galaxy remained in first place in the Western Conference and in the MLS overall table, with 33 points from 21 matches, one ahead of both the Kansas City Wizards and MetroStars.
The Columbus Crew extended their unbeaten run to six matches - though they've won just twice in that period - with a 2-2 draw away to New England Revolution last weekend in their first match after the All-Star break. The Crew remain in second place in the Eastern Conference with 25 points from 18 matches, but now lead D.C. United by a single point and trail the MetroStars by seven - though they have two matches in hand over the entire conference.

Garbage Trucks Toys
Garbage Trucks Toys - Get Them Now While They're Still In Stock
Garbage trucks toys stand to be one of the hottest toys on the market this holiday season. Toy manufacturers are going all out this year. There are a couple new garbage trucks toys on the market that are sure to sell out fast so read on to find out about the hottest toys this year.
Why Garbage Trucks Toys Are So Popular With Young Boys
Boys love big trucks and garbage trucks are a big truck they see regularly. They come driving up the street and pick up our garbage cans every week. You have to look at it from a young boys perspective. They are large, brightly colored green trucks that drive around the neighborhood collecting the trash out of our garbage cans. They're loud and make cool beeping noises when they back up...What's not to love.
Children learn to love garbage trucks toys from an early age. In my neighborhood, we have a friendly garbage man who waves to my son every time he sees him. This has made the garbage man and his truck something my little guy demands to see on weekly basis. He actually listens for the beeping sound of the garbage truck and will get upset if we don't take him out to see it when it drives down our street. This has been a weekly routine since my son was old enough to walk.
Get Them Before They Run Out
Garbage truck toys are popular gifts for birthdays and for the holiday season. This year is going to be no exception. There are a couple of new toys on the market that are sure to sell out as the holiday season approaches. Purchase them now to ensure your child gets the garbage trucks toys he really wants and not a cheap imitation.
Stinky the Garbage Truck
The toy at the top of many young boys lists this year is the one and only Stinky the Garbage Truck from Matchbox. This super cool toy transforms from a normal garbage truck into a moving and talking robot. Kids of all ages will be delighted when Stinky comes to life. He is guaranteed to entertain your child for hours on end.
There are two versions of Stinky. Mini Stinky is smaller and doesn't have all of the features, but he costs about half the price. The larger Stinky costs twice as much, but is also about twice the size of the little. The bigger one can say over 90 phrases, while the little one only has a couple phrases it can say.
Toy Story 3 Garbage Truck
Does your child like Toy Story and/or Lego toys? If your child is into Lego, he or she will love the Lego Toy Story garbage truck set. You get Buzz Lightyear and Jesse, along with a Lego truck. The truck has arms that lift to empty the dumpster into the truck. This detailed Lego truck features a hopper that opens as the dumpster is lifted to the dumping position. If your child doesn't care for Lego or is too young, there is another option. Toy Story also offers a regular truck for children that are too young for Lego.
Bruder Garbage Truck
Looking for something more realistic for the older child in your family? Bruder has you covered. They offer a few different models of garbage trucks toys that are modeled after the real thing. Bruder's vehicle line-up features a bunch of realistic vehicles that will make your children feel as if they are playing with a real garbage truck. Bruder's toys are big, and they are built to be played with.
Tonka Garbage Truck
Tonka toys are built to last. This brand has been around a long time, and for good reason. Tonka toy trucks are the perfect gift for a child that is rough with his toys. While the Tonka brand has been around since we were children, these aren't the same trucks we played with when we were kids. They make noise, they have buttons you can press to automatically dump garbage and they are made to look and function like the real thing.
Other Garbage Trucks Toys
There are a lot of garbage trucks toys on

November 13, 2012 at 11:11 am #17825
I contacted you earlier regarding some troubles with the product thumbs(they won't crop the pictures), you gave me some plugins that helped, but now the problem is back. Have tried everything you told me to do the last time, without any luck. Getting kind of frustrated, is there anyway you could take a look?
ThanksNovember 13, 2012 at 4:24 pm #97074
Hi BrisCreative,
If you are using: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/ as was suggested before, and have since updated you may need to go into that plugin and re-set the image size/crop option again.
Also don't forget that once you make a change the images need to be regenerated to take the effects once again.
DevinNovember 14, 2012 at 9:11 am #97075
Hi Devin,
Thanks for your quick responds. Unfortunately I have tried that and did not work. If you could take a look I would really appreciate it.
-ChristopherNovember 14, 2012 at 6:12 pm #97076
Hey Christopher,
What steps have you already taken (with the sizes and settings for your images) and can you provide a link to some examples?

Could we also take a look at the pages where the issue is happening live?
From your settings, have you tried turning off cropping and regenerating the images? If so, were you able to see the effects from that. Have you installed any other plugins or updating WordPress/theme files?
DevinNovember 19, 2012 at 4:40 pm #97079
Yes, no results.The URL is cliniquedecleor.no, but I can´t open the page yet. If f you give me your email I can send you the login info?
Thanks again!

Great. It´s been sent.
ChristopherNovember 23, 2012 at 9:31 am #97082
Hi Devin,
Have you had some time time to look at my problem.
ChrisNovember 24, 2012 at 8:10 am #97083November 26, 2012 at 5:52 pm #97084
Hi Chris,
I apologize for the delay, Thanksgiving holidays last week so I was a unavailable quite a bit.
It looks like what is happening is that the images are being cropped but the theme will still need to make the width of some of the image a bare minimum to fit with the catalog layout view. So the first product image while being only 126×300 the width isn't enough to fit the minimum space of 200 pixels. This makes the whole thing expand to fit that space even though it is cropped at its greatest edge size of 300 pixels.
You have a couple of options depending on how you want the final look to be. The most basic that will give you the best result is to always save your images on a blank white background that is square. Something like 600×600 will give you enough room to center the image and still be large enough for all of the various product image uses.
Next, you could change how many columns are displayed on the catalog view. For you it would be in WooCommerce>Innstillinger>Sider and at the bottom of that page "Column count". Going up to 4 or 5 columns will shrink the width of the individual thumbnail containers which changes the size of the images inside of them.
The topic 'Thumbs' is closed to new replies.

Will David Hayter voice Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5?
There's a lot of speculation as to whether or not David Hayter will return as the voice for Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5. Last month, Hayter spoke out that he wasn't asked to return for the next Metal Gear game, a decision that was not his choice. However, a cryptic teaser from Konami coupled with a fairly obvious tweet from Hayter seem to suggest the English-voice actor will return after all.
Last night, Konami teased its pre-E3 2013 show with a video that asked "Who will be the voice of snake?"
That's all fine and dandy, but then Hayter sent out the followin gtweet, which is cause for the new speculation.
I'm so excited for E3!I just hope I don't lose my voice.;-)— David Hayter (@DavidBHayter) May 29, 2013
This is either some awesome news -- that Hayter will voice Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes -- or a really cruel joke. Hopefully E3 will clear that up for us. Konami's pre-E3 2013 show will be hosted on Gamespot on June 6th at 10:00am Pacific.

Villas-Boas urges in-form Spurs to show Champions League class
Andre Villas-Boas has challenged Tottenham to show they are capable of cutting it in the Champions League by beating Lyon tonight.
Villas-Boas will take one more step towards securing his second Europa League trophy if Spurs overcome Lyon in their second-round first-leg game against the French club at White Hart Lane.
While manager Villas-Boas regards the competition highly, Tottenham would surely forfeit their place in the Europa League if it meant they qualified for the Champions League.
Spurs supporters long for a return to the biggest club competition in Europe, and the team are currently on course for qualification via the league, where they sit in fourth with 12 games to go.
Given that Lyon possess such stars as Lisandro Lopez, Yoann Gourcuff and Bafetimbi Gomis, Villas-Boas believes Lyon should be playing in the Champions League.
"I think we've been handed the most difficult draw. This is like a Champions League tie. Lyon represent a club with tremendous Champions League experience in recent years. It will be a good test for Tottenham."
Villas-Boas has made it clear that he is completely averse to the idea that the Europa League is a weak competition and insists success will help his team thrive domestically.
He will therefore name a full-strength line-up for the visit of Lyon, who are second in Ligue 1, but with one exception.
Villas-Boas revealed that Hugo Lloris is likely to be on the bench for the visit of his former club as he wants to give Brad Friedel a run-out. "Most likely Brad is going to be in goal," the Portuguese said.

Edmonds native plant demo garden begins 6th yearVolunteers dig in on a chilly Saturday morning
A work party of community volunteers dug in recently on this year's first phase of maintenance and rebuilding for the Edmonds Wildlife Habitat Native Plant Demonstration Garden.
They weeded and cleaned, cleared an area for a new mulch pile, leveled a patch of ground for a new tool shed, and started digging a new hiding place for amphibians because heavy rains washed away the old one last winter. Other first phase tasks include planting shrubs and trees, placing mason bees boxes, and cleaning birdhouses.
Volunteer work parties are now being formed for the "Big Work Party" on April 20.
Established in 2008, the garden has been on the forefront of a growing movement toward more water-conserving and ECO-friendly landscaping for public places and homeowners, dubbed by one book author as, "Kiss your grass goodbye."
Accessible to the public, the demonstration garden can be entered at the Willow Creek Hatchery located on Pine Street off Hwy 104 in Edmonds.
It is a grant-funded community place where anyone can view native plants and learn how they attract wildlife. This year's educational events will be held at the site from April through October in a meeting room provided by the Hatchery.
The events will include "Frogs, Plants and Ponds" (April 27), "Gardening with Native Plants" (May 4), "Bats Northwest" (May 17), "The Birds (Hummingbirds) and The Bees" (June 22), "Feeding Birds and Bird Feeders" (September 21), "Planting Trees and Shrubs" (October 5), and "Leaf Printing for Kids" (also October 5).
The date for "Butterflies" will be announced later.
Another workshop, "Nest Box Building" will be held at the Puget Sound Bird Fest Festival in September.
Additional events are in the planning stage. Event presenters include Thayer Cueter, Nancy Moore, Candy Brown, Todd Brown, and Barb Ogaard.
The demonstration garden contributed to the Community Wildlife Habitat certification received by Edmonds in April 2010 from the National Wildlife Federation.
It is one of 11 common place or park properties, and approximately 130 homes, that are locally registered as Backyard Wildlife Habitats through National Wildlife Federation, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
For further information on event schedules or volunteering, email email@example.com.
Event postings can be viewed on Facebook at "Edmonds Wildlife Habitat & Native Plant Demonstration Garden."
General information including event schedules will be made available sometime in late spring on a web site now being created by volunteers: www.edmondsbackyardwildlifehabitat.org.
