#23221 reopened defect (bug)
Multisite in subdirectory with root site address
Reported by: | grapplerulrich | Owned by: | |
Priority: | normal | Milestone: | Awaiting Review |
Component: | Multisite | Version: | 3.5 |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: | alexvornoffice@… |
I have seem to have found a url bug in the multisite.
How to replicate
- Install WordPress in a subdirectory
- Change the the url from the subdirectory to the root by adding index.php to the the root and changing the following code.
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require('./subdirectory/wp-blog-header.php');
- Change the site url in the settings to the root.
- Start the process to convert the site to a multisite.
Then it should cause the network dashboard url to be incorrect. You will get http://example.com/wp-admin/network/ instead of

Problem seems to be in network_site_url() in link-template.php. Changing line 2112 from:
$url = set_url_scheme( 'http://' . $current_site->domain . $current_site->path, $scheme );
$url = set_url_scheme( trailingslashit(site_url()), $scheme );
Seems to resolve the problem.

Added a patch to solve the problem with the help of site_url what odisant mentioned. Would love to see this in 3.6.

Added a patch that does work. I don't think get_site_option() will cost a performance penalty since it does get cached.

- Keywords has-patch removed
- Milestone 3.6 deleted
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
Closing as invalid. Reason is that the path isn't correctly set.
So check the following
- PATH_CURRENT_SITE is something like /wp/
- All rows of wp_blogs don't have the path like /wp/
- Path of the site in wp_site
- siteurl in wp_sitemeta
- siteurl of the single site in wp_options of wp_x_options
comment:8 nacin — 7 months ago
- Resolution invalid deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
The path is set correctly. This isn't invalid, rather, this is by design. The root site uses /wordpress for siteurl, but a network requires URL rewriting, and in that context we are able to simply rewrite the subdirectory out of all subsequent sites (and the network admin).

comment:11 creativeinfusion — 7 months ago
Sorry about the duplicate, I thought this ticket was just a misconfiguration of a straight MS subdirectory install where the home directory was the subdirectory.
There's definately a good case for tidy URLs, but we're left with no function that can be relied on to tell us the actual URL to the site install. Even using site_url(BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE) may not work - see Nacin's point in comment:78:ticket:19796
Having network_site_url() & network_home_url() return the same value when the underlying subdir network install isn't actually like that is certainly odd. Until it was possible to install a sub directory MS in its own directory it delivered expected results all the time. Expressing that install difference is what I thought the different functions were for (mirroring site_url and home_url on single site).
comment:12 markoheijnen — 7 months ago
I was sure that was the case since I tested it out and with setting all table fields correctly I could solve this issue. But it was strange that I had to do that manually if it was needed at all.
comment:13 creativeinfusion — 7 months ago
For a sub directory install PATH_CURRENT_SITE will be set as you noted, but for a sub directory install where WordPress is given its own directory and the site operates from document root, PATH_CURRENT_SITE is not set.
PATH_CURRENT_SITE is equivilent to the path component of home_url on a single site install.
comment:14 andre.langer — 6 months ago
sorry, I am a little bit confused now.
Is there already a working, proper solution or patch for the mentioned issue in WordPress 3.5.1?
I have just done a clean install of Wordpress in an own directory different from the root directory and enabled Multisite (subdirectory) behavior. I can also not access the network administrator dashboard because the generated admin URL does not contain the mainsite subdirectory before wp_admin, which redirects me back to the frontend site of the original Wordpress installation giving a 404 for wp_admin/network.
It is not only related to the wp-admin rewrite process, I also cannot access the frontend of a created multisite, the generated URL regularly points to http://domain.com/multisitesubdirectory. Do I maybe have to declare the wordpress subdir also when creating a new multisite (in comparison to the administration of wordpress url vs site url).
The network wizard generated a config template with PATH_CURRENT_SITE set to "/".
Some people suggested to edit wp-includes/link-template.php func network_admin_url(),
but this is said to be an inappropriate solution in this thread. Currently, I am still not entirely sure if it is a user configuration error, or if the combination of wordpress subdirectory installation and multisite subdirectory configuration is cleanly supported in Wordpress 3.5.
comment:15 creativeinfusion — 6 months ago
I have several installations using WordPress Multisite 3.5.1 (subdirectory) with WordPress in it's own directory and it does work fine. There's no need to edit any core code.
You do have to make the advised changes to your .htaccess (or web.config if on IIS) as per your sites the network install page instructions, or it can't work. See also http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite
The only issue is if you use custom content/plugin directories, then you'll need to make custom rewrite rules.

Check out Terra Plana's Evos in the July issue of Esquire.
Here's what they said about the Evo.
"The most authentic barefoot feeling on the market. They're remarkably nimble when you get used to then."
Here's what they said:
"These could be the running shoe of the future. The theory behind them is that we were born to run barefoot – and have coped for hundreds of thousands of years doing just that – and that the cushioning offered by modern running shoes causes injury by confusing your body. The thin soles of the Evos protect your feet while stimulating and strengthening them. Start by using them for short runs and you'll be amazed how free and easy running feels – our tester found that she naturally wanted to pick up her feet faster than usual, which may be of great benefit when you're trying to get into your stride at the start of a triathlon run."
"Terra Plana has become the latest brand to join STAG as a supplier.
The company has a range of eco-friendly footwear and accessories, including VivoBarefoot and Dopie.
"After meeting with Ben and Andrew from Terra Plana, learning about the product and actually seeing the range, we were extremely impressed and look forward to see this brand flourish," says Ricky Chandler, managing director of STAG. "All of our STAG members will receive preferential terms." "
"The runner shoe the Evo is this spring's great news from Terra Plan. With its revolutionizing thin innersole the Evo is a running shoe for everybody who wants to have the ultimate barefoot feeling in their running. Recently studies show that barefoot running is booth safer and more effective than using traditional running shoes. The Evo can be used by both professional athletes as well as the common man and is a part of community: greens eco friendly spring collection."
We've been in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Glamour magazine quite a lot recently.
Last week we organised "A barefoot evening with Christopher McDougall, author of the international bestseller Born to Run."
We also recorded the event and it is available to listen to below.

Off to Missoula and other adventures
I told you I'd be back.
A few quick things …
The Montana Festival of the Book is this weekend in Missoula. Actually, it starts today, and in a cool collaboration, it's being held in conjunction with the annual conference of the Western Literature Association, which means Missoula will be crawling with even more literary luminaries, if that's even possible.
If you're within driving distance of Missoula this weekend, I implore you to check out the incredible list of events and deliver yourself unto them. It's going to be a great couple of days, and I'm proud to be able to join in the fun.
A few programming notes:
On Friday at 1 p.m., I'll be at the Missoula Public Library with David Abrams (the forthcoming Fobbit), Keir Graff (The Price of Liberty) and Jenny Shank (The Ringer) to talk about literature blogs and how they're influencing the lit world.
Saturday at 11, I'll be back at the library for another panel — this time with Keir, publisher and poet David Ash, author and e-publisher Kathy Dunnehoff and publisher Dave Batchelder — to talk about the wild world of independent publishing and self-publishing. The bottom line, at least for me: Between the gold standard of the Big Six and the wasteland of poorly conceived, horribly written vanity projects, there's a big, vibrant, thriving world of publishing. I can't wait to chat with these folks about it.
After that, I'll choke down some lunch and be back at Festival of the Book World Headquarters (aka, the Holiday Inn) for a reading from The Summer Son at 1 p.m.
Speaking of The Summer Son …
It's being featured this month as one of Amazon's hot 100 reads priced at $3.99 or lower ($2.99, to be exact). So if you've been holding out or you just bought one of those snazzy new e-readers, now is a good time to jump.
Speaking of e-readers and e-books …
Just this week, I made a new e-book available for the Kindle and the Nook. It's called Scenes of Suburban Mayhem, and it's 17 very short stories that you might remember from The Word series here at the blog (which I've mostly taken down, now that many of them are compiled in this e-book). I originally wrote 21 of the pieces, but some of them just weren't up to snuff. These 17, totaling about 16,000 words, are the ones that were best received here and other places I posted them.
For a cool $2.99 — less than a cup of designer coffee, and better for you — it's yours.
To purchase for the Kindle, go here.
For the Nook, here.
See you next week!

Great, except for the Amercia-ueber-alles ideology
By johnny007 (4 reviews) , 11 Aug 2013You like sci-fi? it ticks the box for sure but... It is very entertaining and ticks all the boxes for enjoyment except the almost propaganda style ideology that America saves the day, here and anywhere... after their own destroyed it in the first place. I really enjoyed the rest but above just irritates me and from a 5 star movie I drop it to 2 stars.- Was this review helpful to you?

Visual Masterpiece
By PeterO (16 reviews) , 06 Jul 2013Undoubtedly a brilliant movie, and one I've enjoyed re-watching.

Holy shit. Even if you gave me hours to think about it, I would not be able to find a way to make the Howard Stern sbow worse than it already it is, but the witch and his fla fla flying monkey have done it again. Tom Arnold. Please Howard, retire!!!!
I don't mind Tom about the way he acts at appearances.
As for his acting skills, i still consider Schwarzenegger a great actor.......cause i don't know what to look for in good actors lol, growing up Arnie was the MOFO BOMB!!!
He doesn't seem uptight and on the fence about questions, his fairly open minded and doesn't care what he says that could make him look like a silly fool.
He seems like a fun guy to hang around with....
Every time I see him I think of the Ch.9 show bit with Judy Tenuta where Howard kept calling him GLOM.........after all these years Glom still works & Judy's career faded to black.......... Tom seems like a decent guy, & I don't blame him for latching onto Crazy Rosie for a few Million.............
Last edited by GRATEFUL DEAD; 10-12-2013 at 02:36 AM.
Tom Arnold again but Gary hasn't even thought about booking Artie. Great job Monkey Boy.
I wonder if Howard will ask him about Roseanne. Imagine the fireworks...
Bring in that everybody loves Raymond guy...
Robin and Tom can compare Ileostomy holes.
Oh great. When is Joan Rivers coming back in? It's been a long time for her as well. Unreal, no Gilbert Gottfried but we get Tom Arnold and Tan Mom .
I loved when Roseanne used to argue with Tom and she claimed Tom had a million dollars in a shoebox LOL. Ah the good ol days.
At this point I prefer Tom Arnold over Howard. Good morning early risers.
remember when Howard was friendly with Roseanne before and was calling Tom Arnold a big Yoko? hehehe what goes around comes around
Who is Tom Arnold?
Dawgies! What mutts become when they finally wake up.

Given that we exhausted Grandma by moving hotels so much during our last trip to Italy, we decided to let the hotel do the walking and try out our first cruise. Mom, Dad, Grandma and Simon were heading to sea on our first cruise, so everyone picked a favourite city that they wanted to visit. Then we checked the cities against the routes, and settled on a 12 day trip on Norwegian Cruise Line through the Mediterranean Sea.
The starting port was Barcelona. As we explored the city at night, I remembered the novel The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon which we had read in my book club. The gothic tale had presented the city itself as a character, and it made sense as we walked through the medieval section with its stone sculptures. We grabbed some fresh squeezed juice in the Boquiera Market and gawked at the whole sheep heads for sale in the butchers. We broke in our shoes gawking at the amazing buildings.
After a couple days, we boarded our floating hotel, the Norwegian Spirit. Grandma stuck a big gift ribbon to the door so we could all find our way back home. Then we headed straight to the drop in buffet and the ice cream machine. The pool came next, and then a visit to the library. Full of food and words, we fell asleep in our bunks, and woke the next day in France. Ca va bien!
The best resource to take on a Mediterranean cruise is Rick Steve's Mediterranean Cruise Ports. He's got a cheat sheet to tell you when you should pay for an extra shore tour, and when it's better to muddle through on your own. We took the ship tours when there was so much to see or transportation was tricky. Rick Steve's popularity with North Americans is immense. If he recommends a place, it will be full of people carrying copies of his books. Comparing notes on your Rick Steve's influenced tour is a great way to meet fellow travelers.
In Rome, we looked for street cats and gelato. The city brought back memories of another book club read: The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. They are linked short stories about a group of people working at a failing English language newspaper. Simon liked looking around Vatican City because we had a tour guide who pointed out interesting facts.
Athens, Greece was hot, hot, hot, especially on top of the Acropolis with all that marble and no shade. Simon busied himself taking photos of all the stray dogs and cats. We were thankful for Rick Riordan's kids book Percy Jackson and the Olympians because Simon was familiar with all the Greek gods.
The cruise swung over to Turkey, and then back to Venice, Italy. It was here that we experienced the ultimate travel story, the one that you will be telling for fifty years! It was our last night, and my husband and I had decided to take a romantic gondola ride. Knowing how much Grandma loved Venice, I decided that it would be greedy not to share the experience, so we included Simon and Grandma in the plan.
The boat ride was lovely. Massimo the gondolier was chatty, and steered us through the smaller canals onto the Grand Canal. There he got into a heated argument with another gondolier on the main canal, shouting out Italian insults and slapping his butt. We found it inappropriate but amusing, and Simon made a little video of the drama, learning some new Italian vocabulary.
As we neared the return dock, we heard a motor approaching rapidly. Grandma and Simon were facing forward, and could see the approaching motorboat, but we didn't realize what was happening until we felt the shudder of impact. The motorboat reversed and struck us again, throwing Massimo into the lagoon, and rocking the gondola until it almost tipped.
It was the other gondolier, returning to continue the argument. As we drifted away in the smashed boat, the gondolier was hitting Massimo in the water with an oar. Grandma's Italian kicked in, and she shouted "Polizia". We looked up to see a crowd of tourists on a picturesque bridge, all with cameras pointed in our direction.
The water ambulance came, and Massimo's assailant retreated. We pulled ourselves along the wall to a dock. The Polizia however, did not arrive for 30 minutes. Our guess? It was the night Italy was in the World Cup finals, so they had better things to do. Their reaction to the incident? They called it "a little argument among friends"! They didn't even want to take our statement until but we insisted.
Heading home, we found a TV carried out into the street. Tourists and locals sat together eating gelato and watching the game. We joined in and ate one for the road.
Would we cruise again? Probably not, as I like to stay in places longer to get a real sense of them. But it was an interesting culture to try, and certainly removed all the hassles of food and shelter. We got to compare cultures easily by seeing them back to back. We have good memories of chatting with the crew staff. The cruise show magicians were skilled, and the drop in buffet meals meant that everyone could find something to eat quickly.
Would we cruise in a gondola again? I might, but Grandma's a non swimmer, and she's sworn off them forever. Basta!
What's New in Swinging London
Back to London we headed, as it's one of our favourite places. I loved all the incredible museums, and my husband loved that they're free! Grandma loved that there are Pret a Manger restaurants everywhere for tasty takeout sandwiches. Simon loved the planes in the Imperial War Museum.
There have been some good new upper elementary novels published since last we visited. The London Eye Mystery by is about a brother and sister who are trying to figure out how their cousin disappears on the London Eye observation wheel. The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale is about a cat who befriends a mouse at the historic pub.
The big news in London this summer is the Queen's 60 years in power (we bought a corgi stuffy in her honour) and the summer Olympics. But for us, the best new development was the opening of the Harry Potter studios for touring. (See the previous Early Boarding post for some photos). I also enjoyed a London Walks Harry Potter tour- they have a huge selection of walks to choose from. The nice thing is that you don't have to book in advance, but just show up at the one you're interested in. London Walks hires actors as tour guides, so they're entertaining speakers.
Since eating is our number one shared interest, let's start with the food. Our favourite restaurant experience was Dans Le Noir, in which you eat dinner in complete pitch black. This is designed so that you concentrate on your other senses, and to provide employment for the blind waiters. First you pick one of four set menus: vegetarian, meat lovers, seafood or chef's surprise. You are led into a dark restaurant by putting your hand on your waiter's shoulder. Then you are given a three course meal, but not told what you are eating. The darkness concentrates your attention to the taste and sound, and also makes the group really bond as you feel around for the water glasses. Simon was a bit shocked that the chicken he was enjoying turned out to be a pigeon!
Our other favourite meal was an expensive but enchanting Alice in Wonderland tea at the Sanderson Hotel in Marylebone. A three tiered tea tray delivered a small "drink me" bottle with 3 layers of flavours, a red "eat me" heart shaped cake, a hot/cold lollipop, an ice cream lollipop, scones, and colourful sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
Now that we're full, we can continue to the non edible highlights. The Wallace Collection is a former house with a large collection of armor, including tiny pistols. It was just the right size for a visit, and not as overwhelming as the incredible amount of objects in the British Museum. The Museum of London was also remarkable, a chronological collection of artifacts pleasingly displayed.
There are newspaper articles about all the foxes in London. They're considered a nuisance, but for Simon spotting a wild red fox in Regent's Park was cool. I also rode a horse from a cobbled mews into Hyde Park with the Hyde Park Stables. The horses were quite bombproof, not even flinching when skateboarders zip by.
A short boat ride between the Tate Britain and Tate Modern galleries gives you a good view of the incredible buildings both old and new along the Thames. It's free to drop in and see Damian Hirst's jeweled skull at the Tate Modern.
Artist Dennis Severs bought a house in the East End and furnished it with historical objects. He also furnished it with a story, told by the objects, and decorated as if the inhabitants just let. An apple sits with a bite out of it. Toys are left on the floor where children have abandoned them. You are to walk in quiet, piecing together your impressions. This was a bit expensive, and perplexing to Simon, but we were deeply moved by the imaginative exercise.
For an adult evening out, my husband and I dressed up in our 20s outfits to dance at the Candlelight Club. This is a moveable pop up club whose secret location is emailed to you just before the event. You find the address by looking for a door with a candle in it (plus following the stream of women in flapper dresses!) There were vintage martinis and a band playing music from the 1920s. No electricity as it's all lit by candles. Although we were among the oldest people there, it was all very fun, and we snapped some photos of my husband with a Catherine Middleton lookalike hired for the party. What a strange job she has.
My coworker asked where I learned about these interesting things to do. Why, in a book at the library in fact! It's Time Out London, and there's even an ebook version to take with you on your tablet.
hpThe Making of Harry Potter
I can't get enough of Harry Potter! We were fortunate to be in London, England just as the studios where the Harry Potter movies were filmed were opened as a tourist attraction. The Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter is an easy short day trip from London.
Leavesden Studios are in a huge warehouse. The prepurchased tickets are for a timed entry, which prevents overcrowding. You can buy them online at http://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk
Transportation from London to Leavesden took 1 1/2 hours, and it was easy to find our way. First we took the subway to Euston Train Station, where I bought a pasty to set the mood, and then we took a train to Watford Junction. It's easy to spot the direct connecting bus when you leave the station as it's a double decker covered in photos from the movie.
As you wait for your timed entry, you can take a peek in the cupboard under the stairs. After a short movie and guided tour of the Great Hall, visitors wander at their own pace through the sets. This allows a chance to wonder at the incredible thought and detail that were put into the set. It was lovely to have the time to reflect on the detail that flashed by on the screen, such as Dolores Umbridge's jewelry or the painted portraits.
The major sets are there, such as the Gryffindor Common Room, Dumbledore's Office, and the Night Bus. You learn interesting tidbits, like that the boys' beds were made for them at the beginning of the series, so by the end of the filming, the actors' legs would stretch way over the ends. I loved the Weasley's house interior with its crooked walls and furniture. There were knitting needles magically stitching a sweater and if you waved a wand, the knife would chop carrots. You can walk down the Diagon Alley set towards the Weasley's joke shop.
There's a lineup to buy a photoshopped picture of yourself flying on a broom and snacks in the courtyard half way through. Otherwise, the timed tickets make sure that the sets are not overcrowded. Other highlights include a section on special effects, displays of costumes, and a display cabinet full of paper props, like O.W.L exams.
There is one last beautiful surprise at the end before you hit that gift shop packed with Chocolate Frogs, Every Flavour Bertie Botts and Fizzing Whizbees. We lingered for 3 hours.
Until you get to London, you will want to read Harry Potter Page to Screen : the Complete Filmmaking Journey. It's a huge book on the making of the movies. The library also has the Harry Potter stories read by the incomparable Jim Dale in the Overdrive collection. You can download them to your iPod to listen to while you clean your house, a compensation for the absence of Mrs. Weasley's housecleaning magic!
Our favourite places to stay and books about them!
There's a great new series of books by Lonely Planet publishers. The City Series books include tidbits of information, displayed collage style, and interspersed with pictures. The difference from a Dorling Kindersley type book is the humorous tone and the inclusion of cartoons. Simon and I read Rome: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know by Klay Lamprell. Other cities covered are Paris, London, and New York. There is also a large almanac volume called The Travel Book: Cool Stuff to Know About Every Country in the World, which Simon devoured over a weekend.
Like most kids, Simon loves looking at old photos of himself, and repeating favourite family travel stories. We were reminiscing about the coolest places that we've slept. Number one on my list is a retired caboose outside of Kamloops. When Simon was 5 and train crazy, we drove out for a railroad vacation. We visited the spiral tunnels, the driving of the last spike near Cragellachie, the Revelstoke Railway Museum, and Beardale Miniatureland near Revelstoke. Hostelling International Shuswap Lake has 3 cabooses, so I rented all 6 berths in one so we could have the run of the place (and being a hostel, it was still cheaper than a hotel) There were llamas, a firepit, some canoes, and a tasty communal pancake breakfast.
In Italy, some religious orders offer rooms for hire. We met a lovely Benedictine nun in San Gimignano. She rented rooms to support the other nuns who were cloistered. It's called Monastero di San Girolamo. She was a helpful hostess, and we felt we were friends after a week. When we left, she said, "I'll see you again." When we questioned her about that, she said she meant in heaven of course.
There's a Zen Buddhist centre in an apartment building in Paris called Maison Zen, and if they don't have students, you can rent an apartment. There are steep stairs, goldfish in a garden pond, and lovely watercolours by the owner on the walls. The key appeal of this memory is the time my friend Gail took Simon out to find breakfast. They brought back Pain au Chocolat pastries from three nearby bakeries in the name of comparison tasting.
Renting an apartment in an historic part of town allows you to live like the locals and really get a sense of a place. I love waking up early and walking around before the other tourists arrive en masse. Favourite neighbourhoods in which I pretended to be a local were Greenwich Village in New York, Mont St. Michel in northern France, and quiet Cannaregio in Venice. In Venice there was a fruit and vegetable market just outside the door so we could buy fresh basil to make brushetta. There was also a fresh seafood market, and Simon was relieved when a couple of live snails escaped back into the water.
Closer to home, we stayed in a sod house at Hummingbird Haven by Cochrane. The Great Canadian Barn Dance near Pincher Creek is also an interesting place to go for a weekend if you ever had a hankering to play the washboard.
Staying in campgrounds is always memorable because you are right there in a beautiful location, and it's so wonderful to have a walk just before you go to sleep. One of our favourite places was Joshua Tree National Monument in California. I loved the black shapes of the boulders in the dusk. The National Park Service in the U.S. has many great campgrounds. Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was built in the 1920s. Everything that goes into the ranch must come down the river, or be carried by mules. They had a very calm and steady mule who always carried the eggs. Other great national parks we recommend are the little cabins in the Okefenokee swamp in Stephen C. Foster State Park in Georgia, USA and the Cinnamon Bay Campground in St. Johns, US Virgin Islands.
My favourite place NOT to stay? The ice hotel near Quebec City! It was great to visit during the day, but looking at the great blocks of ice that made up the beds convinced me that a room at the Quebec City hostel was a better choice! We do like staying in hostels, partly for the expense, but also because it's easy to meet people and chat with other travelers. Simon often found other kids to play with, and we sometimes hooked up for joint sight seeing.
Rounding out our favourites list is the Nickelodeon Hotel and the Sheraton Vistana condos, both in Orlando, Florida. The former has water slides, game shows in which guests are slimed, and the lifeguards throw cream pies at the kids who run on the pool deck as a joke. The latter are quiet timeshares that rent out when they aren't full. Because we're often in hostels, Simon liked the luxury of a jetted tub and multiple pools to choose from. There were also feral cats to feed the leftover bits of those monstrous huge turkey legs they sell in DisneyWorld.
I grew up reading about kids having all kinds of adventures. I personally blame my travel bug on The Bobbsey Twins and National Geographic's World magazine. It's Tintin, Asterix, and The Good Times Travel Agency who captured Simon's imagination. We recommend The Good Times Travel Agency graphix series by Linda Bailey and Bill Slavin. Three siblings travel to ancient China, Greece, the Ice Age and Middle Ages in a fun comic format. Now those kids have slept in some wild places!
When I saw The Lego Ideas Book: Unlock Your Imagination by Daniel Lipkowitz arrive at Calgary Public Library, it brought back memories of when Lego ruled our world. I'm nostalgic for the days when a Lego magazine's arrival in the mail was a major event. All activity would halt as the magazine was devoured cover to cover. The required money was tallied, the piggy bank counted, and all upcoming birthdays and holidays taken into account. Then quick to the phone to sweet talk Grandma! All hands were on deck as 1000 pieces of Lego were spilled on the dining room table; parents in charge of sorting Lego by colour, while the chief builder did the assembly without a break until it was done.
Legoland Florida opened in October on the site of the old Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven. We haven't visited this one, but looking at the map shows they're using some of the popular features from other Legolands. Our first visit was to Legoland California in San Diego. My strong memories are not the rides, but the clever Lego statues that dotted the park. In the medieval section there was a little pink grunting pig. Down a darkened tunnel was a menacing polar bear. For a photo op, you could stick your head in the jaws of a roaring lion.
We also visited the Legoland in Windsor, England. You can take a train from London for a day trip. Getting off the train, you grab a bus or taxi, skirting around the Queen's Windsor Castle. There are two huge colourful dragons on the Viking's River Splash. Trolls dump water on you at the end of this water ride. We all enjoyed the Kid Power Tower in which two people pull their seat up in the air with a rope to get a good view. As in all Legolands, there's a model miniland in the middle of the park with some architectural highlights of the surrounding country. Miniland is my favourite part of Legoland. It's fun to look back at places you've been, and to look forward to the next destination.
The library's Lego books are very popular, and sometimes you need to place holds to get the latest titles. We scoured the books on the history of Lego. The little yellow headed people are important; a friend's child dressed up as one for Halloween. Standing Small: A History of Thirty Years of the Lego Minifigure chronicles their story. There are lots of X books too- easy readers with limited vocabulary for those learning to read.
Books devoted to specific Lego collections are also popular. Right now, Harry Potter is flying off the shelves. Harry Potter: Building the Magical World has colour photos of the sets no longer available. The Star Wars book is also great, and a lot easier to flip through than poking through E-bay!
Lastly, we recommend the DVD Lego: the Adventures of Clutch Powers. Clutch is an action hero minifigure in this animated movie suitable for young kids. There are five Legolands to visit: in Florida, California, England, Germany, and Denmark, the original. Block on!

Texas man gets 35 years in Super Bowl bet death
Fort Worth man gets 35 years in prison in killing over a $40 Super Bowl bet
Prosecutors say an 18-year-old Fort Worth man convicted of murder for orchestrating the killing of a man over a $40 Super Bowl bet has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
A Fort Worth jury arrived at the sentence for Edward Washington III on Wednesday after convicting him Monday.
Investigators say 20-year-old Jarami Thomas was fatally shot in March 2011 in the parking lot of an Arlington convenience store.
Prosecutors say Thomas had placed a bet with Washington on the February 2011 game, played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, via Facebook. When Thomas didn't pay, Washington threatened him.
Clevin Earl Brown Jr., a friend of Washington, shot Thomas and last April was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Will Apple Be The Nail In Wintel's Coffin?
4:00 PM EST Fri. Jan. 04, 2013Wintel's relevance is threatened more than ever by today's post-PC world. And no company has led the charge into this brave, new world more than Apple. The company's growing dominance calls the staying power of the once-mighty Microsoft-Intel alliance into question.
Propelled by the massive success of its iPad and iPhone, Apple in 2012 became the world's most valuable company. The Cupertino, Calif.-based giant, according to analyst firm IHS iSuppli, managed to capture a whopping 70 percent of the worldwide tablet market in the third quarter, with its quarterly iPad sales surging to 17 million units.
Apple is also a force to be reckoned with in the smartphone market, where its iOS platform accounted for nearly 14 percent worldwide market share in the third quarter, according to Gartner. Apple's iOS was second only to Google's Android, which captured 72.9 percent share, but still beat out Microsoft's Windows Phone platform, which pulled 2.4 percent, by a long shot.
[Related: The Post-PC Wintel: Striving To Remain Relevant]
According to Gartner analyst Mike Silver, much of Apple's success can be attributed to the company's ability to "see what could be and think outside the box." Silver noted that, even though Microsoft experimented with mobile technologies like touch screens long before its competitors, it was Apple that brought these ideas mainstream and won over consumers' hearts with its simple and sleek designs.
"Microsoft had touch, pinch and zoom in their original [tablet] experiments in 2005, but it was Apple that revolutionized the world when it introduced the iPhone … in 2007," Silver said. "By the time Microsoft had touch devices, [it] lost the image of innovator and instead is seen as a copier. Microsoft tried to popularize tablets in 2002, but Apple made them work."
Arlin Sorensen, CEO of Heartland Technology Solutions, a solution provider and Apple partner based in Harlan, Iowa, agreed that much of Apple's success, both in the consumer and enterprise markets, lies in the simplicity of its products.
"Apple wins in the marketplace by creating technology that is simple to use and meets the needs of mobility and productivity for executives," Sorensen said. "The advent of the iPhone and iPad in the business arena is mostly a top-down event with executives bringing those devices into the workplace and insisting they be added to the corporate network."
Sorensen expects the proliferation of iPads and iPhones in the enterprise to accelerate with Apple's growing emphasis on the channel, potentially threatening Wintel's bread-and-butter business market even more than it already is.
"Apple is working with partners through their Apple Consultants Network program, doing some training and enabling partners to successfully implement their technology in a corporate environment. This is a departure from their past years, but they still have things to learn about effectively leveraging the channel," Sorensen told CRN. "If that happens, hang on, because the product really causes heads to turn."

He faces a public that is deeply skeptical of attacking another Arab/Muslim country; a divided and skeptical Congress; and an international community that fears military action. And he confronts this environment with a military option that he himself doesn't really believe in either. There's no real sense of urgency or emergency, partly because the president has willfully downplayed that sense of crisis.
Obama is an ambivalent warrior. He fashions himself the extricator in chief charged with getting America out of profitless conflicts, not getting them into new ones. And it shows.
Monday night's speech reflected a man who on one hand would like to be rescued by a diplomatic solution to a problem he himself knows can't be resolved by military force and on the other, one who realizes he has a very bad military option if he must go forward.
And as a consequence, what was hyped as a major speech really couldn't be, in large part because there was nothing to decide and no urgency to do so.
Congress isn't going to vote this week; the U.S. isn't going to war soon; and Vladimir Putin's diplomacy from Russia has yet to play itself out. Indeed, right now the president can't be the decider in chief because there's nothing to decide.
For now, Obama -- along with the rest of the country -- is stuck in limbo between a war he clearly doesn't want and diplomatic approach he knows faces long odds. And no presidential speech could free him or the country from that predicament.

Suitable From 6 Months
The world's fastest deploying highchair! Unbelievably lightweight, flat-packing portability & quick-smart clamping to most tables!
Why not have lobster at the table every day?
What makes it hot?
I wish I had previously brought this instead of a stand alone highchair. It is very easy to attach to the table and comes with a clip on tray which is great for baby led weaning. Very easy to clean as can be inverted over the bin then wiped over. My little girl seems to sit closer to the tray than in her regular highchair and seems to enjoy being able to sit at the big table with mommy & daddy (she's a small 7 months). Note: you need to ensure your table doesn't have a downward lip as the seat needs to slide on fully also note that the chair should not slide on over a tablecloth or place mat, it needs to be secured directly to the table. I would defiantly recommend fir everyday use.
Great little high chair for my 5 month old. He is not eating solids just yet, but with this high hair he can sit at the table with the rest of the family at mealtimes. He is happy being the same level as everyone else. So easy to use, easy to wipe down. The only reason I won't give it 5 stars are because it doesn't fit all tables and the tray does not stay in place - even my young baby can push it off.
My goodness, we love this high chair. For use when out and about, can be difficult to find a table it fits but when you do it is BRILLIANT. Hard to clean as material is "webbed" rather than wipe clean (e.g. plastic) Also the tray does not stay in place. I have realised my review sounds negative but it is a good highchair, really.
I prefer this to my highchair! The child is actually at the table and part of dinner time, take it everywhere with me, grandparents love it too. Holiday was very useful & easy to pack into suitcase. All my friends have said how good it is and are considering getting one themselves! I didn't believe it when it says up to 3 years but it is definitely deep enough.
Very happy with the lobster, I'd been waiting for this product for a couple of months and I'm not disappointed. Similar products weren't able to fit our 2" worktops in the kitchen. Now our toddler can eat with us at the breakfast bar. Good quality and seems like it will last.

Product Spotlight: Sugarplum Dreams and Additions
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Hi Everyone. It's Karen bringing you a new product spotlight. Today we're featuring two Shabby Shoppe products…the Sugarplum Dreams kit, and the brand NEW Sugarplum ADDITIONS to coordinate with it. All of this just in time for scrapping all your holiday photos. The colors are yummy and I love all the doodley elements. Snatch it up while it's on sale! You won't be sorry. Here are previews of the two products:
They are both on SALE for 25% off! In the event you didn't know, there is a site-wide sale at the Shoppe through tomorrow. But, these two products will remain 25% off through next Monday (12.20.2010)!
And now, a little inspiration from the Shoppe's Pre-Team. Please note that some of these layouts feature the kit only, and some feature items from both the kit and the additions (and sometimes other Shoppe products, too)! Be sure to visit the Shabby Artist Gallery to find out more about these page…and as always, visit the product pages to find out exactly what is included with each collection.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm looking forward to seeing more holiday pages in the gallery. Join us tomorrow as Beckie shares some great holiday photography tips with us :)

Also, the motif is raised a bit higher than the yellow part of the rug making it feel uneven, which my husband dkislike, but I totally dig.

In 1969, fire raged through this exceptional Elizabethan house. Paul Drury explains what archaeologists were able to rescue from the burnt-out husk.
Since 1952, Hill Hall, at Theydon Mount, in Essex, had been a women's open prison whose unwilling guests included Christine Keeler. To architectural historians, this was indeed a fall from grace for an exceptional building that Nikolaus Pevsner, writing in the Architectural Review in 1955, hailed as one of the first classical Renaissance houses to be built in England.
Recognition of its architectural interest undoubtedly persuaded the Prison Commissioners not to demolish what survived of the property after a devastating fire in 1969 swept through the building, spreading rapidly round the roofs of the courtyard ranges, and leaving the interior a mass of collapsed debris. But, in the era before archaeologists had learned how to respond to such disasters (as they did later at Uppark and Windsor), the debris was cleared without any attempt to salvage or record either the fallen structure or the fragile remains of ceiling and wall finishes.
Consolidation of the fabric was subsequently started by the Ancient Monuments Branch within the Department of the Environment. In those days such work proceeded very slowly, so not too much damage had been done by 1981, when I was invited to set in hand both excavation and study of the surviving fabric, to elucidate both the evolution of the house and its significance.
The earliest evidence we found for structures at Hill Hall was the undercroft of a very small masonry chamber block, added early in the 13th century to what was probably a hunting lodge established late in the previous century. The chamber was built of flint rubble masonry with 'great brick' and Reigate stone dressings, including an elaborate chimney shaft, and was to stand until the 1550s. During the 14th century, Hill Hall grew incrementally into a small courtyard house, the centre of a modest estate.
Apart from the chamber block, all the buildings were timber framed, which posed the common archaeological problem of identifying structures that leave minimal trace. Shallow tile foundations indicated the use of earth for enclosure walls, a technique still visible today in parts of Hampshire and Wiltshire, though no longer in Essex.
This relatively humble ensemble was transformed by Thomas Smith (1512–1577), the son of a sheep farmer from Saffron Walden, whose extraordinary career saw him rise from scholar to statesman and renaissance polymath. Joining Queen's College, Cambridge, in 1526, he became Regius Professor of Civil Law and then, in 1543 at the age of 31, Vice-Chancellor of the University.
With the accession of King Edward VI as a minor, he joined Lord Protector Somerset's household in 1547, entering the tenuous world of politics, ultimately serving as Secretary of State. In addition to his Cambridge chair, he gained posts as Provost of Eton and Dean of Carlisle. He was briefly imprisoned on the fall of Somerset, and lost the Secretaryship, but continued to play relatively minor political roles until Edward's untimely death in 1553.
At the Catholic Queen Mary's accession, Smith lost his posts at Eton and Carlisle, but, despite his protestant humanist views, he not only avoided the stake, he gained an annual pension of £100 from the Queen. His first wife having also died in 1553, he then married Phillippa, widow of Sir John Hampden, who had a life interest in Hill Hall. He acquired the reversion two years later and, now free of the cares of politics and the court, set to building what was to become his principal house, on a hilltop that appealed for its healthy situation as well as its fine prospects.
Smith's first Hill Hall
Excavation revealed that his first moves were somewhat tentative: he rebuilt the open galleries around the garden, and added a new range—probably intended as the start of a large outer courtyard. Then he embarked upon a complete rebuild of the Medieval house. We know, from a journal Smith kept, that this work took place in 1557-1558 but he did not give any information about what the work involved. Excavation told us far more: it revealed a courtyard house with an entrance through the north range, with the hall opposite in the south range, and flanked by a loggia. The service rooms to the east terminated in a kitchen that survived particularly well. The west range, unusually, incorporated a gallery, with the best rooms at first-floor level, while the low east range probably also had an attic gallery.
The construction of this house was unusual: some walls were timber-framed while others were made of brick—but laid in brickearth rather than mortar. This method would have been comparatively cheap, but not robust. So, why did Smith use it? Constrained resources? Speed? An experiment in construction? Or perhaps, in an uncertain political climate, to avoid ostentation?

Morris Ted Phillips Candice Ruud David Schwartz Nicholas Spangler Joshua Stewart Brittany Wait Patrick WhittlePlan would expand wine trail; no pet adoption fees at shelter
The North Fork Wine Trail could be getting a little longer — expanding eastward to Orient and stretching to the west to show several alternate ways of getting to the vineyards, tasting rooms and wineries that stretch from Calverton to the tip of the North Fork — if pending state legislation is approved.
"This is important. There's no question about it," said Steven Bate, executive director of the Long Island Wine Council. "It helps promote the wine industry."
About 1.2 million people visit East End wineries each year, and those wineries produce more than 500,000 cases of wine each year. The vineyards themselves have grown from the original 17 acres planted in 1973 to more than 3,000 acres now. There are more than 50 wine producers in the region, most of them offering tours or tastings, according to State Sen. Kenneth P. LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who introduced the bill to officially expand the region boundary.

A companion bill is being introduced in the Assembly by Fred W. Thiele Jr. (I-Sag Harbor), whose district covers East Hampton and Southampton. There has been no opposition to the bills.
Almost all of the East End vineyards are on the North Fork, where growers say the microclimate is better for merlot, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and riesling than on the South Fork, where farmland is more expensive.
No adoption fees for 'Summer of Love'
The Hempstead Town animal shelter will waive all pet adoption fees starting today until Sept. 14 for its annual "Summer of Love" pet adoption program.
All adopted animals will receive free rabies vaccinations and microchipping, as well as free spaying or neutering, town officials said. All cats also will be tested for feline AIDS/leukemia.
Island Trees Veterinary Hospital, Dog Grooming by Rachel and West Hills Animal Hospital will provide coupons for free services, such as exams and grooming packages, for each pet adopted from the shelter.
The shelter is located at 3320 Beltagh Ave. in Wantagh. For more information, call the shelter at 516-785-5220 or visit toh.li/animal-shelter.

Recipe by Duncan Hines® Canada
"These Duncan Hines chocolate cupcakes keep it muy interesante with a touch of cinnamon and cayenne pepper."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 box Duncan Hines® Triple Chocolate Cake Mix
1/3 cup water, for filling
1 cup water
3 large eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (16 ounce) container Duncan Hines® Creamy Home-Style Chocolate Frosting
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Special Tools:
Pastry bag (optional)
I tasted the batter and the spices were evident and even a tad bit spicy. After baking it however no one could tell there was anything different about these cupcakes from just plain chocolate cupcakes. I did not use the frosting and this review is ONLY on the cupcakes not the frosting. I had my family taste these cupcakes plain without frosting first. I used some homemade vanilla boiled frozen and thawed frosting and added a few pinches of the cinnamon and cayenne. I'm gonna keep trying this concept but with a different recipe.
These are very sweet and sugary.

Lion King Artifacts Join Smithsonian's Circle of Life
Yesterday morning The Lion King took center stage at the American History Museum. Well, parts of it anyway—but even so, a crowd of people turned out to watch the festivities. In a donation ceremony helmed by curator Dwight Blocker Bowers and president and producer of Disney Theatrical Productions Thomas Schumacher, costumes from the Tony award-winning stage adaptation of the 1994 animated film The Lion King—currently the sixth longest-running Broadway show—were formally entered into the Smithsonian's collections.
In 1998, this stage adaptation of the wildly successful Disney animated movie of the same name burst onto the stage and floored audiences and critics alike—largely thanks to the direction and stunning costume designs by Julie Taymor. In order to tackle the challenge of transferring talking anthropomorphic animals from an animated movie to a live stage show, her costumes evoke both animal and human qualities. The headdress she created for Simba—an angular, stylized rendering of a lion's head encircled by a spiky white mane—and the full costume for Rafiki the baboon—a costume that evokes a shaman more than an animal until you see the bright red ape-like toes sculpted into the shoes. (You can catch a glimpse of the creative process behind the show in this clip from the 1998 Tony awards.)
The Lion King has been a part of Thomas Schumacher's life for the better part of 19 years. "It is an honor to see The Lion King enter this place," he said. "The Lion King is more than a musical—it has become a global phenomenon, and this donation forever seals its place as an icon of American culture in one of our country's leading history museums."
The American History Museum's musical theater collections began to build after the exhibit "Red, Hot and Blue" ran at the National Portrait Gallery in 1996. "These artifacts help visitors ponder larger issues such as gender and American identity," said Bowers. The collection has come to encompass relics from shows that burned white hot on the Great White Way, including Rent, Mame, Hello, Dolly!, Fiddler on the Roof and Lorelei.

HALF TIME: Swindon Town 1 Port Vale 0
3:54pm Saturday 28th April 2012 in Sport By Andy Warren
SWINDON are well on their way to securing the League Two title as a superb Matt Ritchie goal has put Town 1-0 up at home to Port Vale.
Loanee John Bostock kept the ball in well and laid it back to the midfielder who fired in a rocket of a shot from the edge of the area to give his side the lead.
Bostock has combined well with Paul Benson in attack, while Simon Ferry has controlled much of the game from the centre of midfield.
But the visitors had a few early chances in what has been a fairly even half, but Tom Pope and Sean Rigg couldn't hit the target, while captain Marc Richards has always posed a threat.
If Town can hold onto their winning position they will make sure of the League Two title.
Here are the key moments from the first half.
2 mins: Matt Ritchie swings a ball into the box which Paul Benson can't quite connect with.
6 mins: The first real chance falls to the visitors' Tom Pope, but the striker can't direct his header goalwards.
17 mins: Matt Ritchie earns a free kick but shoots straight at the wall, and when the ball comes back to him he fires over the bar.
28 mins: John Bostock shoots from distance, but his effort is well wide.
31mins: Simon Ferry tries his luck from distance, but his effort is well wide.
37mins: Aden Flint makes a hash of a clearance before underselling his back pass to Foderingham, but the keeper is out well to halt Marc Richards.
38mins: GOAL 1-0 TOWN (Ritchie) Bostock keeps the ball in well, before pulling it back for Ritchie who fires in an unstoppable shot to give his side the lead.
