Our Ethos
Irene is an historic sailing vessel built in 1907 which earned her keep moving cargo around the South West coasts of the UK. She has had a fascinating history both as a cargo ship and a family home and has been in the same ownership for the last 50 years. Nowadays, we have a passion for taking guests to the finest destinations, both in the UK and abroad, and for delivering an outstanding quality of hospitality for guests staying on board.
However, our primary aim is not to deliver commercial success for Irene's owners or fabulous holidays to our guests. Instead it is to ensure the survival of this historic vessel. Not only does this require us to keep the ship in a safe and seaworthy condition but also to support the skilled trades people who maintain them, develop the next generation of ship's crew who sail them and protect the environments in which they sail.
This policy outlines our approach to meeting our primary aim. It is applicable to all staff, crew, contractors, suppliers and guests.
Sustaining the Environment
The marine wildlife is one of the major attractions to guests on board Irene and we are committed to its on-going conservation. Our policies relating to this are:
- We will educate guests on the wildlife indigenous to the areas in which we sail, through our voyage documents. This will highlight the flora and fauna in the area and any local conservation issues that guests should be aware of.
- The crew will be briefed on the indigenous wildlife for all voyages and they will be expected to be able to speak knowledgably about it to guests.
- We will respect the wildlife when sailing to ensure we do not create any adverse impact on them.
We will protect the marine environment in which we sail and go beyond legislative requirements to ensure we minimise our impact on it. Specifically:
- We will follow all the refuse management requirements of the MARPOL regulations and extend this to ban the disposal of any refuse over board regardless of our distance from shore.
- We will record all waste generated on board and set targets for its reduction. This will be achieved through:
- Prioritising local markets which use less packaging materials for food provisioning;
- Designing in refrigeration and storage solutions which allow larger volume containers and reduce packaging;
- Actively monitoring oil and fuel usage to ensure engines and generators are delivering optimum performance and minimising waste. Mechanical issues will be addressed as soon as possible to ensure this is maintained.
- Display our waste performance to educate guests and encourage them to follow our lead.
- We will follow all regulations relating to the use of paints, chemicals and treatments on board the ship and extend this to ban the use of any eroding antifoul treatments to the ship's hull which can be damaging to marine wildlife.
We recognise that water is a precious resource in some of the voyage areas we visit and we will actively promote water conservation with our crew and guests. For voyages in dry climates, we will limit our total water usage to 2 tonnes per week, with any additional water requirement to be met through desalinating sea water on board. This is limited to 400 litres per day.
Sailing by its nature, primarily uses renewable sources of energy for propulsion. However, we still rely on carbon fuels for electricity generation, propulsion for the tender and for manoeuvring the ship in harbours. We will further reduce our carbon impact through our 'zero carbon' days. As well as reducing our carbon footprint, these will highlight to guests how reliant we are on these fuels and educate them on how we can minimise our usage.
Where regulation and safe operation allows, we will allocate one day per week as a 'zero carbon' day. On this day, we will:
- Only manoeuvre the ship under sail;
- Only propel the tender by oar;
- Only use electricity from the batteries and not from the generator;
- Cook using renewable sources of fuel such as BBQs and open fires.
Furthermore, we will ensure our back office functions are equally energy focused. To minimise our energy consumption for the administrative team, our policies will require:
- Staff to predominantly work from home to minimise the energy required in commuting to a place of work;
- Prioritise electronic means of communication to reduce paper consumption;
- Ensure all voyage information, booking administration and payment handling can be undertaken electronically to reduce paper consumption and energy requirements from traditional mail services;
- Recycling of toner cartridges and the use of recycled paper wherever possible;
- Use video conferencing and telephone conferencing facilities to reduce travel requirements.
Sustaining the Community
The community to which Irene owes her existence and her future need to be sustained. We have a responsibility to both the communities in which Irene sails and the wider community who have an interest in historic vessels.
Local Communities:
We take our responsibilities to the local community in which Irene sails, seriously. We believe we should contribute to the local economy, provide employment for local people and make Irene available for local communities to learn about our maritime heritage. Our policies with respect to this are as follows:
· Where possible, we will source provisions and materials from local suppliers and prioritise small producers such as farm shops, markets and independent wholesalers where appropriate.
· Where we have maintenance requirements, we will use local tradespeople with traditional skills to service them.
· We will attend at least one maritime festival every year that allows the local community to get on board for free and learn about the history of Irene and maritime heritage more generally, from the crew.
· We will source products from local craftspeople to sell as part of our merchandise range on board.
· We will work with local agents and experts to promote cultural attractions and local industries to guests in the voyage areas we visit. Voyage documents will highlight key events and attractions that are available and the crew will be knowledgeable about these and actively promote them.
· We will respect other users of the port facilities we visit and ensure we do not compromise their activities by our presence.
Charitable Works:
We believe we should support charitable organisations where there is a direct relevance to the marine industry or local communities and have selected the RNLI as our major focus for this. As well as promoting their work to our wider community through social media and our website, we will dedicate a number of days each year in our programme to training the local RNLI crews in our voyage areas. This will include casualty evacuation drills, helicopter transfer drills, towing drills and search and rescue drills.
Furthermore, we will actively support and encourage our crew to become volunteer RNLI crew members.
Developing Skills and Crafts
Creating a sustainable future for traditional and historic ships requires an infrastructure of people with the skills to sail and maintain these vessels. We believe we should go further than just using these skilled people when we need them and actively support their training and development. To this end we will:
· Ensure that Irene is rigged and equipped in as traditional manner as possible to ensure we continue to create a demand for the skills and materials to maintain her.
· Utilise local tradespeople and suppliers where maintenance requirements demand them.
· Train and develop the crew to be competent sailors of traditionally rigged vessels and support them in attaining their required qualifications with financial and educational help.
· Have career succession and development plans for all members of the crew to support them in developing their career and prioritise internal promotion when vacancies arise.
· Provide at least one training position at all times on board Irene which will not require previous sailing experience to be considered for.
Encouraging Our Guests
Alongside our Responsible Travel Policy, we also like to provide guidance to our guests on how you can make your own contribution as a 'responsible traveller'. For each of the regions we visit, we provide a suggested code of conduct for guests. Adherence to this is entirely voluntary but we hope that by making small changes in the way you travel, large changes can be made in the impact you have. We hope you feel these suggestions would not detract from your holiday with us and that you are able to bear them in mind during your time with us.
We love receiving feedback on this so if there's anything you feel we can do better or suggestions for other ways in which we can promote responsible travel, we'd love to hear from you.
The relevant document to your voyage will be sent out as part of your welcome pack.

Hello, I'm using a Galaxy S5 from Straight Talk (The SM-S902L, a rebranded G900V that has Android 4.4.2) with the build number KOT49H.S902LUDU3AOG2. The kernel works perfectly except for the camera, which glitches out and shows artifacting. It makes it look like the camera is broken. Reverting to the old stock kernel fixed it, but is it possible to somehow fix the kernel?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Room was nicely decorated and this Extended Stay was clean. The breakfast take away was ok but the people were really friendly. This is close to arundel mills mall and Baltimore. There is no good view from any window but If you want a view, get a room at the harbor and spend a lot more money. Here is good value. It is like a 15 minute drive to the inner harbor so I had something nice to do on the weekend. I want to thank Veronica and Mary for their good service. I would and will come again.

Council Splash Cash For West Bay Watersports Centre
6:45am 22nd May 2014
Council cash is being splashed out on a new watersports centre for West Bay.
West Dorset and Bridport have agreed to spend more than 56 thousand pounds for facilities which will further enhance its reputation for visitors.
West Dorset District Councillors have voted to provide further funding for the project which will help improve West Bay as a centre for watersports.
The project, which is being led by Bridport Town Council, will see the former toilets at Fisherman's Green transformed into much-needed changing facilities and storage for local clubs.
Robert Gould, Leader of West Dorset District Council, said: "It is great news that West Bay will be getting a new watersports centre. I am glad we have been able to step-in and find the money to help make it happen.
"We are lucky to live in such a lovely area and good facilities will mean even more people will come and enjoy West Bay. It should attract more visitors and give our economy a further boost."
The district council's Executive Committee voted to award the project an additional £26,020 on Tuesday (20/5), on-top of £20,000 already ear-marked for the scheme. This will provide 90 per cent of funding needed to make the scheme happen.
The project is part of a wider package of improvements to Fisherman's Green. Other improvements include the creation of new river pontoons so kayaks can get in and out of the river more easily and Bridport Town Council will also be funding internal improvements to the Salt House.
The new watersports centre is expected to cost £56,020, which includes the cost of converting the former toilets, improving access and building a new storage facility.
A total of £35,000 will come from the district council's West Bay Enhancement Fund, £5,000 will come from the district council's Leisure Development Fund, £11,020 will come from Section 106 Recreation Money, which is funds the district council collects from developers, and Bridport Town Council will contribute £5,000.
Work on the new watersports centre is ready to begin. Bridport Town Council have already asked the local community for their views and secured planning permission for the project.

Two new priests ordained in Aberdeen
Two men are being ordained priests of the Roman Catholic Church at St Mary's Cathedral in Aberdeen by Bishop Peter Moran this evening at 6.30 pm. The new priests, who could be asked to serve throughout the north east and the Highlands and northern isles of Scotland, are Father Colin Morrison Davies, from Caol near Fort William and Father Anil Gonsalves, from India. Fr Davies, 44, came to Aberdeen to train as a nurse shortly after he became a Catholic in 1991. He completed his course of studies at Scotus College in Glasgow and is being assigned to St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Inverness as an Assistant Priest. Fr Gonsalves was born in a village called Binaga-Karwar, in India, and was a member of the parish of St Anne's in Binaga. With a background in science and in marketing, he worked for IFB, a Home Appliance Company and Cadila Pharmaceuticals, before starting training for the priesthood. He has just completed his course of studies at the Pontifical Scots College in Rome where he specialised in Spirituality. Fr Gonsalves has been appointed Assistant Priest at the Cathedral of St Mary of the Assumption in Aberdeen. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen has seventy Churches and Mass Centres spread through out the Eastern Highlands and the North East of Scotland. It also has churches in Orkney and Shetland.

My maternal grandmother who was Ghanian, was a lady Freemason and later an Oddfellow.She programmed me to become a Jehovah's witness,or create a new form of Buddhism where there is a God,or to become a Freemason like she was.I was cursed many times by Freemasons and I responded as I had been programmed to by my grandmother to "turn the other cheek" and say thank-you.I experimented with lots of religions.
I was taken to Freemason's hall by a friend that I didn't know very well.My life changed when I went to Freemason's hall three times.As a result of going to Freemason's hall in London United kingdom,I remembered everything my grandmother had done and the psychological shock of remembering led to me eventually re-evaluating my life as a Buddhist and I slowly over a five year period I became a Christian.

I'm constantly wondering why I fail to roll up my pants before entering the cow shed.
We're cow shopping.
Krish, Narayan (the headmaster), and I have been hopping around from farm to farm in search of the perfect cow. We want the most litres produced for the cheapest sale price. Currently, most farms are asking $1,000 per cow and we need six.
The bottoms of my trousers are resting in mud, hay, and water and I'm wearing my $6 pink loafers I bought from Old Navy. My trekking boots unfortunately disintegrated after my Himalayan trek the other week. So this is all I got left; pink polka dotted loafers.
Spray from one cow's urine is splashing up onto my thigh. I take higher ground on a large pile of dirt.
I'm taller than everyone anyway, and my stuffed backpack from the day's excursion doesn't help the situation any. I'm in constant search of a parcel of dry pavement to stay clear as farmers, Krish, and Narayan make their way about the cows; inspecting, gathering information, and taking photos. The dirt pile seems safe.
After a moment though, the pile begins sinking.
Oh wait, it's manure.
"Katie come," Krish says quietly.
He pulls me aside foar from the ear of the farmer to discuss price. Some cows are more or less depending on size and milk production. Though since cow is considered Godmother here and thus will never be eaten, size seems irrelevant. I'm still confused on pricing.
Krish also informs me that all the farms in the area have been warned of our intention. Through a clever game of "telephone", it appears each farmer knows exactly what we want even before our arrival! They know how many cows we want, what prices we've already been quoted, and how much money we have to play with! Cheeky farmers!
Price has now inflated $200. Krish suggests we back off for a few days to appear disinterested.
I (and my shoes) have decided to leave the cow shopping to the men.
A Day at the Office
There seems to be an audience gathering as I create an official milk production spreadsheet. There are giggles and pointing, and children asking me questions in Nepali!
Laughing with a large smile, I reply, "I don't know what you are asking! Me... no Nepali... Tora Tora (meaning little little in their native tongue)!"
They giggle again and run off.
The teacher's work desk is piled high with papers, notebooks, and textbooks. I wonder how anyone can find anything around here. It reminds me of certain American teachers I worked with back in Colorado and Saigon. Perhaps a future investment of a filing cabinet could be useful.
One smiley female teacher in a pink churidar kurta comes walking into the office. She begins to speak with me in Nepali and again I grin with a I don't know expression. I hear the word tea mixed into the conversation and reply, "Ma cāhanchu" meaning I want. Now this is something I understand.
She begins making tea on the double gas burner in the far corner of the room. Slowly four more teachers come into the room and sit down besides me as I continue to create my spreadsheets. I have two teachers looking over my left shoulder and one looking over my right. They seem very interested in what I am doing.
I am amused by the situation, knowing very well that I couldn't work in these conditions back in the States. But for some strange reason, I'm not bothered at all! I giggle at this realization and am happy to show the crowd my project.
I suppose my 5 days of Reiki training this week have allowed me to become much more relaxed.
The power goes out for up to 9 hours a day due to load shedding (meaning Nepal turns off it's power to sell to India) and internet speed is hugely intermittent. One hour, it can be fast(er) and upload photos and emails with ease, then without a moment's notice, it will turn into dial-up speed from the 90s.
This is one of those moments.
Power has ceased and my computer battery is at 5%. I'm racing against time to finish these spreadsheets, audience and all.
I decide it's not worth the headache, and shut down my computer to socialize with the teachers. And by socializing I mean various head nods, hand signals, and confused looks of expression. I take a bowl of lentils provided by the smiley teacher.
It's delicious.

Tiger XS
Nordic Battle Group
In order to secure the Nordic Battle Group's voice communications, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) uses encryption components from Sectra to safeguard telecommunication and tactical radio communications.
The Nordic Battle Group is one of the EU's rapid response forces. It consists of units from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia and Ireland. A total of approximately 2,800 soldiers can be deployed for crisis management operations within a radius of 6,000 kilometres from Brussels, Belgium.
Protected IP-based communication over satellite links
Sectra has developed a solution utilizing Tiger XS voice encryptors for IP-based communications over satellite links. Secure calls can be made over satellite or national landlines and GSM networks. Telecommunications are secured at stationary and mobile command centres as well as at the individual mobile user and the military command levels.
Secure tactical radio communication
The Nordic Battle Group also uses Sectra's tactical encryptor to secure radio communication. The unit can be mounted in vehicles and/or carried by troops on reconnaissance missions. Radio communication between command centres, vehicles and troops is encrypted and increases security for soldiers in areas of conflict.
Dutch Council of Ministers
"In addition to the high security of our fax solution from Sectra, it is the ease and efficiency of managing the system that we value most. This solution makes it just as easy to fax securely as to fax in the traditional way."
Dutch Council of Ministers meetings are of the highest secrecy
The Dutch Council of Ministers weekly meetings receive the highest security classification under Dutch law. They are classified Top Secret. This places special demands on the distribution of documents that the participants need before and after each meeting, such as agendas, documents and meeting minutes. Using Sectra's certified fax solution; these tasks are performed in a highly secure and resource-efficient way.
To meet safety requirements, the departments have developed common, high-priority routines relating to human document handling. Sectra's solution ensures that fax transmissions are secure, but is also designed so that certain security routines must be implemented by all departments in order for the system to function.
Secure faxing with Sectra Tiger XS
The Dutch Council of Ministers has designated Sectra to adapt a fax solution based on the Tiger XS voice encryption system. The solution consists of three units: the Tiger XS handset, Tiger XS Office and a COTS fax machine, in accordance with the customer's specific requirements. Sectra has customized the components to work together and has installed, tested and programmed the numbers of all the various departments to ensure full functionality and security.

Community PolicingIn the late 1970's, the Flint, Michigan Police Department started a directed patrol experiment in low-income, high crime locations of the city. Police Officers assigned to these target areas were interacting with community members to address the issues of crime and public safety. Utilizing new strategies over old mind sets, the patrols began to impact the areas and noticeably reduce crime. The communities began to feel "empowered" by the attention given them, and the relationship between citizens and police evolved into an effective team bent on not only reducing crime, but enhancing the quality of life in these areas. The experiments developed into practice. The Flint experiment was nationally recognized for its success. In the past two decades, Community Policing has developed into a nation wide trend in law enforcement. The teamwork between police and communities has demonstrated itself to be unbeatable in any environment.
The Wayne State Police Department has embraced the "Community First" approach for years. Our department is committed to creating a safe and productive environment for everyone who lives, works, and learns in our WSU Community. Our department has always made service and response high priorities.
Our Community Oriented Policing approach is based upon a philosophy of providing full and, personal police service. This is accomplished by uniting with members of the WSU Community to identify, prioritize, and resolve problem that lead to crime, disorder, and community decay. The goal is to improve the quality of life at Wayne State University. Our officers work with students, employees, and residents of the University to implement and monitor successes and evaluate failures.

Most of the wall in my home are not drywall. They seem to be like some kind of old plaster or thin concrete with some kind of plaster over it. They are not smooth.They are very bumpy. It looks like the ceilings might be the same. Well, the stuff is falling off of the walls in different areas and I don't know how to fix it. If I put a nail in the wall, all you hear is pieces of it breaking on the inside. Can you tell me how to fix them. Can I smooth them out some kind of way? They just make things really look awful.

Delhi Police has booked a man for stealing three mobile phones of former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni from a hotel, a senior officer said on Sunday.
A complaint was filed by Dhoni on Saturday after his mobiles, including an iPhone, went missing during a fire at the WelcomHotel on Friday in Dwarka, Deputy Commissioner of Police Surender Kumar told IANS. (Also read: MS Dhoni's mobile phones stolen from Delhi's 5-star hotel)
The complaint stated that he lost the devices during the evacuation process.
Dhoni along with his Jharkhand Cricket Team members had rushed out of the hotel in a hurry as smoke had entered their rooms. He had forgotten to carry some of his belongings, including the phones.
Later after the fire was doused and he got back to his room, he found that his mobile phones were missing, Kumar said.
The police are investigating the case and the hotel staff are being interrogated. A CCTV footage of the lobby is also being examined, Kumar added.
The fire broke out on Friday morning at the back side of the hotel.
Around 550 Indian and foreign guest were also evacuated. No casualties were reported.

Moving forward with Composr

I noticed some extra css files that were generated by the theme generator, namely style.ie6.css and style.ie7.css. These files are refered to in the page.html thusly:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<!–[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="style.ie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]–>
<!–[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" href="style.ie7.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /><![endif]–>
(I'm having difficulty getting the Codebox to work, so the code snippet isn't contained within.)
I already harvested the good stuff from the style.css into the appropriate places, but recently discovered from a friend with old browsers (IE6 and IE7) that the site doesn't look very nice when using IE6 and IE7. I don't have easy access to these browsers, and will have to revive an old machine to be able to test those browsers, once I get a clue on how to include these fixes into ocPortal's awesome CMS.
If there is a 'native' way to get this same effect, I'd really like to know how to do it, to eliminate all the extra stuff.
After I get the IE6/IE7 issue resolved, I will document my little adventure in the hopes someone might benefit from all the late nights and over-indulgence of coffee I spent figuring it out.
Thanks in advance for any advice or RTFM references.

{+START,IF,{$BROWSER_MATCHES,ie}}your HTML or CSS here{+END}
Instead of "ie" you can use "ie_old" or "ie_new" or a few other options (documented in the Tempcode tutorial). You can also make your code dependent on the browser's "user agent", which is what the browser calls itself. This can be done with
{+START,IF,{$EQ,{$BROWSER_UA},abcdefg}}your HTML or CSS here{+END}
This will check whether the user agent equals "abcdefg" and will include "your HTML or CSS here" if it matches. The drawbacks to this approach compared to the BROWSER_MATCHES one are that
You can use Tempcode in any of the files inside the "templates", "templates_custom", "css" and "css_custom" folders inside your theme (even files which say ".css" are actually treated as templates if they're in the css or css_custom folders). Thus we can write your given snippet of code like this in Tempcode (for generating HTML)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
You can, instead, merge all of these into one CSS file, putting the IE-specific stuff at the end and wrapping it with the same START/END tempcode as above. You'd want to put these in your css or css_custom folder to do this though, which would mean changing the path shown after the "href" above. You can get around this by including the CSS directly into the page rather than using links via a call like
Hope that helps The Tempcode tutorial is invaluable for making ocPortal themes. There's rarely a moment when I haven't got a couple of browser tabs showing it
Update: N00b mistake removed (trying to load a template file directly, rather than running it)

For the record, the way I would approach your problem Andy is to make the IE-specific things apply to different classes, then select which classes to put in your HTML via the tempcode I posted earlier. For example, let's say we have a nice PNG background called "fancy_back.png" which uses transparency for rounded corners. This won't work in IE6, so we can make a separate file "less_fancy_back.jpg" which has no transparency (either the corners are filled in, if we know what it will be on top of, or we just give it square corners). Now we can use some CSS like this to style each kind of element
.my_box {
The usage of $IMG in there is a nice Tempcode call which will find our images in whichever theme is currently being used. We could have used regular URLs instead, and other than that it's all standard CSS. Now when we make the code for a bit of the page where we want to use this we can do:
<div class="my_box {$?,{$BROWSER_MATCHES,ie},ie_box,rounded_box}">
The ? is just a quick way of doing an "if" (like everything, there are usually several ways of achieving the same thing). The important point is that the second class of the box will be different depending on the user's browser. Thus everyone gets the same CSS, as Chris pointed out, but their browsers will be told to use different parts of it.
I hope that makes sense
Fan in action
If I add the contents of style.ie6.css to the end of global.css and surround it with the {+START,IF,{$BROWSER_MATCHES,ie_old}} and {+END} and do a similar thing with style.ie7.css, will that do the trick? I'm assuming that the 'special' IE code will just supersede the 'normal' parts of the code that IE chokes on.
I didn't see specifics on what version 'ie_old' and 'ie_new', and 'ie' refers to. Did I miss it? I just did a Find on those strings in the tut_tempcode.
Community saint
That was what I was thinking, but Chris's correction pointed out that it won't work, since the CSS won't be recalculated every time in the same way that other templates are, so we have to make the choice between browsers inside the HTML templates. With this in mind, I think the best ways to do what you're after are to either bring in the IE-specific CSS files as needed by using $CSS_INCLUDE inside a START/END statement, like
This way you can keep the separate CSS files you've already got. The suggestion I made in my last post is the way I would do it if I were starting from scratch, but you've already got the separate files made so there's no point complicating it.
I can't find any such documentation either. I just did a quick search of the 5.0.3 source code and it seems like ie_old will match IE5 and IE6, whilst ie_new will match any newer version (ie. "it is IE, but it's not ie_old"). It looks like "ie_decent" will match IE7, and "ie5" will match IE5, but I would only use those two if you really need to, since undocumented things have a habit of breaking or disappearing in later versions of software.
Last edit: by ChrisW
Easiest way to think about it, based on the browsers ocPortal supports…
ie = 6 or 7 or 8 or 9
ie_old = 6
ie_new = 7 or 8 or 9
ie_decent = 8 or 9 (i.e. the 'decent' ones that aren't hideously buggy)
It kind of makes sense except 'ie_new', which made sense at the time (before IE8 came out). In hindsight of course we should have just used the version numbers .

You'll probably want to put it in the HEADER.tpl file of your theme, somewhere between <head> and </head>. That file includes lots of things so it might be a bit confusing. If you put your tempcode directly before the </head> then you can be sure it won't change the other functionality.
Community saint
In the HEADER.tpl template there are the tempcode symbols {$CSS_TEMPCODE} and {$JS_TEMPCODE,header}. What these do is to collect together all of the CSS and Javascript that the page has been asking for and they dump it all into the page.
The reason this causes a problem is that $CSS_INCLUDE works by asking $CSS_TEMPCODE to include the CSS you want, but if $CSS_TEMPCODE has already been used then you're too late.
This means that when I suggested you use $CSS_INCLUDE just before </head> (since this would have the smallest chance of conflict), instead you need to put it somewhere above where the $CSS_TEMPCODE symbol is used. Just try to keep it out of any of the existing {+START}...{+END} sections, since, by definition, they won't always run their contents.
Apologies if you've been running into this problem, I should've tested the code I posted I ran into this problem when my Javascript wasn't being put into the page, and it turned out I'd used $JAVASCRIPT_INCLUDE after $JS_TEMPCODE, and it turns out the CSS works in the same way.

The definition of PURE: Not mixed with any other substance or material; without any extraneous and unnecessary elements; free of any contamination; involving or containing nothing else but.
PURE Bikram Yoga is simple: 90-minutes, 26 postures, 2 breathing exercises, 105 degrees and 40% to 50% humidity. Without any extraneous and unnecessary elements. Containing nothing else but.
As a teacher, if you have the patience to stick with it long enough, you've probably chosen a life of service to others, like Georgia Balligian from Bikram Yoga NYC, who has been practicing for over 35 years! I overheard her words early on in my practice that really stuck with me. She said, "In my life I want to give more than I take." She is a shining example of this credo and an example I want to follow.
I am asked all the time why we are so "rigid" in our teaching methods, such as Bikram Yoga's "scripted dialogue" and repetitive 26-posture sequence. Do this long enough and you'll find the freedom and liberation that results from not having to think. Remember, the ultimate goal in yoga practice is to "silence the modifications of the mind" (Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1.2).
The word "discipline" seems to be frowned upon today. In a world full of distraction, we need a daily retreat for ourselves. We need a practice that is simple, pure, and authentic. Bikram Yoga is that. In fact, yoga is essentially self-discipline, of both body and mind (see below). Ask any successful person in any field and a common key to his/her attainment is consistent, self-disciplined practice.
Any person who is not lethargic in the pursuit of different forms of Yoga attains success through practice, be he young, old or even very old, sickly or weak. One who is intent on practice will succeed, not one who is idle. Success is not obtained by a mere reading of Yoga books. -Hatha Yoga Pradipika of Svatmarama – 64, 65
Need "real" evidence? Bikram Yoga Boston hosted last weekend's PURE Action research symposium: "The Science of Bikram Yoga," to a packed crowd in Harvard Square. I am fascinated by the vast unchartered waters that yoga research still has yet to map. Think of it: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, back pain, depression and anxiety; vanquished through daily practice of yoga and conscious nutrition. More empowering than swallowing a few daily pills, huh?
In the words of Emmy Cleaves, the senior-most Bikram Yoga Teacher: Practice with frequency, intensity, and precision. Be inspired by our student testimonials and Mardy's take on the recent Yoga Asana Championships held in Dallas, TX. Yes, Bikram Yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, shape, size, or condition. My seventy seven year old mother practices three times per week. What's your excuse?
Stay tuned!

They've created a new video that shows their intense ignorance about gun owners, especially white male gun owners.
The video shows a man acting in the most obnoxious way possible while hitting on a woman in a bar.
One of the first lines in the video is by 'Gary' the 'gunsplainer':
Name's Gary, part-time cashier, full-time patriot
Because a part-time cashier can really afford firearms and ammo, especially the number of firearms these neanderthals have Gary concealed carrying while out at a bar.
Interesting that they are also misogynistic in this because it's clear this woman ISN'T carrying. She is portrayed as military personnel but when asked by Gary if she's carrying it seems she isn't because she's 'on leave' although she claims to be licensed and trained. Funny military personnel AREN'T ALLOWED to carry on bases or when they are on duty.
So instantly the sexist bigots at Everytown have the male gun owner carrying four firearms and talking about firearms right off the bat while the woman, supposedly licensed to carry, is unarmed.
The only people in the gun control fight who are condescending are the hoplophobic minion sheeple of Michael Bloomberg who has armed security for HIS family but wants to take away regular Americans' rights to protect their OWN families.
They then go on in yet another gun control website that will surely fail as all of Bloomberg's other gun control efforts have failed to perpetrate more myths about gun control.
First they claim women aren't safe because there is a 'boyfriend loophole.' This is a lie. States send information to the feds when it comes to restraining orders. They do not differentiate the relationship of the people in their reporting. Yes, the background check form defines 'intimate partner' as married/divorced; parents of a child and or cohabitants/recent cohabitants but that's not how it works in real life.
This does NOT leave single women exposed in their relationships as this site claims.
They ALSO make the following claim that is indeed an absolute lie:
The private sale loophole allows these jerks to simply go to a gun show or online to side-step a background check. WTF?
Both of these myths have been debunked over and over again. There is NO gun show loophole. FFL dealers participate in gun shows and they all require background checks.
There is also no internet loophole. If you order a firearm from the internet, they must send it to your local FFL dealer in order to conduct a background check.
And to top it all off, a person can serve up to 10 years in federal prison if they knowingly sell to a prohibited person.
NO law-abiding gun owner is going to risk 10 years in prison over a private sale.
If someone has a restraining order, they risk breaking another law by lying on the background check form if they are denied.
The only way someone like this would actually be able to get a firearm is to get one illegally and no law is going to stop that criminal behavior.
It's reprehensible that Everytown and Singled Out have decided to not only portray law-abiding gun owners as idiots but they have done it in a sexist and misogynistic way. Their bigotry and hatred for gun owners is not only obvious but vile.
This is the first of a series that will continue to debunk the same lies billionaire hoplophobe Bloomberg puts out.

Unanswered: Access/SQLExpress can't find server error
Hi. I'm trying to use Access07 with service pack 1 (project) as the front end to SQL Server Express 08 back end and get a "could not find SQL Server specified" error message. Note that the server is on my local PC, the same PC where Access07 is on. I have successfully created a database and migrated some data from an Access 2000 file format into SQL Express 08 using MS SQL Server Management Studio. I open SQL Management Studio and I see the server name (computername\SQLEXPRESS) and the database. Then, while keeping SQL Server Management Studio running or not (tried both), I go into Access (project) and try to connect to the data using Windows authentication, I get the "could not find DQL Server" error. I would really appreciate some ideas of what the problem could be?

And of course, the Minions are back in all their silly glory."Despicable Me 3″ opens in theaters June 30.Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. Gru has sworn off his villainous ways, but engaging in some dastardly sibling rivalry might be too tempting to pass up.The first trailer introduced the movie's main antagonist, Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), a former kid actor who's obsessed with the character he played.

Discussion in 'OT Bar' started by MassMan, May 2, 2016.
that is a large factor in my analysis
agod/brady/elliot/bell/dj >
best WR matchups in order: t-will, julio, beasley, brown, sanu, baldwin
Have a nice day
the first argument is the only one that matters and he clearly played better, have an extra saucy day
You're pretty much exactly like all the idiot Green Bay homers I waste my time arguing with on twitter who dont actually have a good reason for Rodgers winning the MVP when Ryan is clearly the superior QB over the entire season. It basically comes down to CUZ RANKINGS or CUZ RODGERS or CUZ I SAID SO
you basically fall into the last category
actually thats all of this shit crew. lol holding a football conversation with you dumb fucks
god damn pipe dream lol
rodgers had two more touchdowns and the same amount of ints with a mid level cast, ryan put up those numbers on a team with very good skill guys... it is pretty amazing to see you come to teh table for ryan tho after spending so long ripping him
stop arguing with emotions, matty is in the conversation like he should be but other guys are probably more deserving or just as deserving
i think it should be rodgers but ryan would be my second choice
i hope you're doing this ironically but i doubt it
swap rodgers and ryan and GB misses the playoffs and ATL might be the 1 seed. that's the bottom line.
im not going to waste my time typing a bunch of words in a thread where football isnt discussed. im not interested in fantasy football
this is how i kind of look at it and i would do this for hoop, it's why bron imo should always be the mvp.
not even that, just swap them with a mediocre base line QB like simmons always say
dalton on the packers and dalton on the falcons. falcons probably 8 or 9 win team. packers might win 3.
matt moore would have got them 10 wins
dez eats
So how about dem "LA chargers" eh?
fuck you
there was a spam post in here

The Twilight Saga: New Moon is sure to become another massive hit even without the stars doing promotional tours, but who turns down free trips to Spain? Yeah you guessed it not the cast of Twilight. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner caused a frenzy as they posed for photographs and interacted with some fans. Wonder if Kristen will ever look comfortable on a red carpet?
