Kiki & Paul, Thanks for your suggestions, however, I am still unclear how the <fo:page-number> tag can use the page-sequence-master.

Kenya's Ruto and Kenyatta to stand trial at War crimes
Kenya's presidential contenders Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, and two other men must stand trial at the International Criminal Court on charges of crimes against humanity during post-election violence in 2008, a judge ruled on Monday.
The decision by the Hague-based court – whose proceedings have been closely followed in Kenya – is likely to have far-reaching political consequences for the biggest economy in east Africa.
Both Kenyatta, who is Kenya's finance minister and son of the country's founding president, and Ruto, a former higher education minister, want to run for president in an election expected next year. The ICC's decision that they must face trial is likely to interfere with those plans.
Ruto immediately said he would run for president despite the ruling.
"This is to confirm I am firmly in the race. Let us meet at the ballot," Ruto told a news conference in Nairobi.
Kenyan media reported that Ruto would appeal the ruling.
The ruling could also lead to protests, possibly riots, in Kenya if people feel the court's decision was unfair, and may backfire on another presidential contender, Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is accused by Kenyatta's and Ruto's supporters of trying to exploit the criminal charges for his own political gain.
The court ruled that there was sufficient evidence to try four out of the six politicians and officials suspected of orchestrating violence in the wake of the disputed 2007 elections that killed at least 1,200 people and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.
Kenyan radio presenter Joshua arap Sang and Kenyan civil service head Francis Muthaura must also stand trial, the judge ruled. But she said there was insufficient evidence to confirm charges against Henry Kosgey, the former industrialisation minister and Mohammed Hussein Ali, former police commissioner.
"The chamber found that the prosecutor has established substantial grounds to believe that the crimes against humanity of murder, deportation or forcible transfer and persecution were committed," presiding ICC judge Ekaterina Trendafilova said about the charges against Ruto and Sang.
"These crimes resulted in the death in the deaths of hundreds and displacement of thousands of civilians," she added. reuters

Not sure if I have DNS correct
My sites are not showing up when I go to them in any browser can someone take a look at what I have in these pics and tell me if I am even close.
Nameserver Record at my domain registrar.
This is what I have in isp3
I don't see problems in your zone. I did a nmap in both IP. There are no port 53 listening. Check your firewall or if bind is running. You can also your logs.
OK, Can you give me an idea on how to open port 53? It seems to be listening on the wrong ip (127.0.0.1:53). Not sure what I need to edit to get the right ip
The easy way is checking your firewall in ispconfig(system->firewall) and be sure that port 53 tcp and udp are open in both servers.
127.0.0.1:53 is ok.
Are you behind a cable/adsl router?
Wait 5 minutes after this change and post the output from:
netstat -tulpena
iptables -L INPUT -n
Just port 53 or all the other listed also. The last time I added those ports I lost connection to my server entirely, to be honest not sure if that is what caused it, but when I did a reboot after that and a couple of other changes I lost total remote access to it and had to have my provider reinstall the operating system to get access again. I am just a little more cautious this time. LOL
Of course all ports listed, just be sure that 53 is open too, both tcp and upd.
Here is the first

Hey again,
I didn't think this was appropriate for my other thread, so I hope no one minds that I made this one.
I am want to get my 07 FFL for strictly internet sales online which basically means I only ship to other FFL's. I was reading over the form 7 and FAQ and the ATF stated that they will refer to state and local zoning and commission laws. I live in Nevada, so we are gun friendly. I looked on my county's website, and read the zoning ordinances, but all I could find form home based business is that a person may not sell tear gas. In their zoning requirements it says nothing about home based FFL's. Should I call the county zoning and planning commission? I want to form this company as an LLC, and that alone is 600$, plus another 75$ business license fee, so I want to make sure that my county allows this before I drop 700$ on forming an LLC. Any suggestions?

Suspect Child Abuse?
Submitted by superadmin on Wed, 03/11/2009 - 15:49
What to do if you suspect Child Abuse?
In Pennsylvania, if you are a mandated reporter and have "reasonable cause to suspect" a child is being abused or neglected you must report that suspicion to law enforcement or child welfare professionals—and you are required by law to do it immediately.
All citizens can and should report suspected child abuse.
If you live in Montgomery County and suspect or know a child is being abused or has been victimized:
- Call 911 if you suspect a child is in immediate danger.
- Call your local police department; and / or
- Call Pennsylvania's Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-932-0313; and / or
- Call Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth: (610) 278-5800
Do not attempt to conduct your own investigation. Report your suspicions to the proper authorities. It is the role of the Office of Children and Youth and local law enforcement officials to investigate the report.

This name comes (surprise!) from the river Jordan, and also stems from the Hebrew word "yarad" (to flow down)…so, it's a watery name. Jesus was baptized in the river's water, and when the crusaders visited the area, they brought both the water and the name back to Europe for their children. Jordan spiked in popularity for both boys and girls in the '90s, but has always been (and still is) more widely used for boys.

December 18, 2014
SUTHERLAND, Neb. -- A 34-year old Sutherland woman was killed Friday after her car lost control and hit two trees.
Janel Godfrey was reported as seriously injured in the crash and was transported to Great Plains Health for treatment. At 10:38 p.m. Friday, Godfrey died from her injuries while being treated at the hospital.
The Sheriff's Department said the accident was reported at the intersection of Pioneer Trace and U.S. Highway 30.
An Accident Reconstructionist with the Sheriff's Office determined Godfrey's 1993 Toyota Camry was speeding north on Pioneer Trace Road.
The car went over the Union Pacific Railroad crossing, causing the car to be airborn. The car hit the surface and Godfrey slid northwest through the intersection hitting two trees, coming to a rest on the second one.
Godfrey was not using her seatbelt, and the Sheriff's Department says alcohol is a factor.

For decades, psychologists have repeatedly documented the basic human tendency to display unwarranted overconfidence. People attempting to lose weight believe that on this next attempt they will succeed despite numerous failed attempts in the past. Gamblers remain optimistic that this time they will beat the house, despite a history of evidence to the contrary. All of us experience the "planning fallacy," or the tendency to underestimate how long it will take to complete an upcoming task. (I, for example, had planned on finishing this post several weeks ago!)
Why does this occur? In recent research, Cornell University psychologists Erik Helzer and Tom Gilovich offer a novel explanation. According to these researchers, there is a prevalent belief that the power of one's will is stronger in the future than in the past. In other words, the future is still open to multiple different outcomes, while the past is limited to the outcome that actually occurred. No amount of exertion can change the past. Thus, because the future affords more opportunities to harness their will to guide their actions, people believe that the role of the will is generally stronger in future events than in past events.

Thanks, Matt and good morning everyone. We appreciate you joining us today as we review our results for the quarter. As is our normal practice, I will start with a high level financial and operating high lights and then Steve will provide a detailed review of the financials.Second quarter of 2010 was another solid quarter for us revenue was 95.7 million and adjusted EBITDA 46 million. As we mentioned last quarter, the sale of our telemarketing business and the ongoing process to close our operator services unit will lower revenue, but be neutral to EBIDTA, when excluding the 1.8 million of the revenue reduction attributable to these businesses our overall revenue declined by less than 1% on a sequential basis.

Love, love this place, our office orders take out 2 - 3 times a week and have never disappointed us. The food is fresh, consistent and reasonably priced. Julia, Marco, Rhonda and the gang are awesome. Highly recommended, Mangia!
Posted by Monica Kiely on 06/22/2014
The food was very good. The room was lovely, and the acoustics were good. Our server was very experienced, but seemed annoyed with us. We were a large party of 19. She announced the specials without giving prices. (I am a former waitress, this is a big no-no). 2 young members of our party arrived late. She had ordered 2 dinners for them prior to their arrival. When they arrived, the dinners mysteriously had to be "redone". We were ok with this, but our server seemed annoyed with us. She took a dessert order, but did not ask anyone if they wanted coffee. When the desserts came, several people mentioned that they would like coffee. I asked for a pot of decaf and some cups. This was apparently a big faux pas on my part. Our waitress ignored the request for a pot, took individual cup orders, looked annoyed when 1 person wanted regular coffee, and returned to explain that we would have to wait for coffee to be brewed. This was at about 10:00 pm, not three in the morning! Again, we were fine with waiting, but our server seemed annoyed. Our bill came to over $1,000. I won't be back to this restaurant.

I've been doing lunch and having Holiday parties at Luigi's for more than 8 years now. I always walk away very happy and planning to return. Vinny and Anna the party managers have always done right by me. Service and food always fabulous. Lunch time- great service too. Come hungry hard to choose what to eat everything is so good! (try the crab cakes)

From the delicious appetizers to the luscious desserts, everything was terrific.
Posted by Gill on 05/15/2013
I found the focaccia to be AMAZING and they give you pesto to dip it in! Win in my book! I had a Lobster and Shrimp Pappardelle dish which was very good. It was more notable than any other Italian restaurants I've been to around here. The waitress did take a while however it was busy. The tables are also a little too close together so navigating was intimidating but I will definitely go back.

Plus Size Barbie... Is Body Augmentations the New Norm
in Lifestyle
Plus Size Barbie... Is Body Augmentations the New Norm? In this ever growing vain world, where no one is competing to be the smartest girl in room, thats a thing of the past. The new norm is who is the BADDEST Chick in the room. Hair, makeup, lastest trends and BOOTY or Bootylicious as it has been coined. Everybody is looking to get that second glance. Natural curves vs Enhanced curves.
The bottom line is what makes you feel like a million dollars. Are women wrong for getting their looks and bodies altered? Is there really a difference between hair weaves and breast implants? They are both used to enhance beauty. Is body augmentation worth the coins used? Why is it that women tend to shy away from telling the truth about work they have had done or monies spent on altering their bodies. These are some of the questions we will explore on Curves In 3D.

The Day In The Life Of A Plus Size Model... I Am Model Essence
in Lifestyle
The Fashion of Passion
I saw a girl whose legs were spangled, They were so long that they easily tangled. And when she wore her high heeled shoes, She was a package no man could refuse. Because when she walked she started to sway, And set things in motion just the right way. Lines of young men will stare as she passes, Hoping for a smile or a bat of her lashes. But the beautiful girl can't stop to flirt, Because her shoes make her feet hurt. And all she wants is to walk in bare feet, So when each day ended she'd always retreat. Off came her shoes when she entered the door. Because of the pain that she couldn't ignore. She'd rub her feet with a smile on her face, Remembering how well she'd run the day's race. The look in their eyes gave her great satisfaction, She'd received the rewards of each man's reaction. Alone in her room she'd sit with her prize, Her two feet swollen to the next larger size. I'm not sure which ones are more confused, The girl herself or the men that she'd used, To me it seems that she's playing a game, And when she wins it she's alone and lame. I don't really get just why she'd play, What dividends can it possibly pay? I guess it depends on defining your passion, And I've never been one to understand fashion.

Kelly Shibari on Curvy Girl Radio : Plus Size Pleasure
Excited to welcome Kelly Shibari to Curvy Girl Radio. Kelly will be in town this Sunday for a Plus Size Pleasure seminar hosted and sponsored by Curvy Girl Lingerie on Sept. 28th. I am excited to interview Kelly and learn more about Plus Size Pleasure and maybe even get some sexy ideas from Kelly, a well known Foodie, about any sexy ideas for incorporating some chocolate body paint into our bedrooms! The DVD we are screening this weekend at our Plus Size Pleasure seminar is here on this link from Wicked: http://GuideToWickedSex.com
As a BBW model/performer, Kelly is passionate about introducing body positive messages into the media spotlight and promotes her ongoing mantra of "Confidence Is Sexy" through a variety of mediums. A proponent of "intelligent hedonism," Kelly speaks regularly on how to intelligently navigate female sexuality, negative media messages about size, and bullying, all while developing self-confidence and inner strength.
Awarded 2013 and 2014 BBW Performer of the Year by EXXXOTICA and 2013 BBW Performer of the Year at the 21st Annual NightMoves Awards, Kelly Shibari is a prolific producer, director, writer, and performer. The plus size performer not only entertains fans in front of the camera, but she produced the 2011 Feminist Award-winning PaddedKINK (2010-2012), which celebrates kinksters of size.
Most recently, Kelly made history and gained international media attention as the first-ever plus size model ever to grace the cover of Penthouse Magazine's Penthouse Forum, for its June 2014 issue.
I can't wait to hear about the new projects Kelly is working on and give her an AUDIO high 5 about her Penthouse cover! You go, Curvy Girl, Kelly Shibari.

How can I prepare my cat for the baby?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 10-02-2007 - 8:13pm
|Thu, 10-04-2007 - 10:17am
I am in the same boat although I have several cats. I have already set up the crib, with all the linens so the cats have plenty of time to get used to it and learn it's off limits. If your cat gets in it use a squirt gun. They HATE it and it doesn't hurt them. Only one cat really keeps trying to get in it but she'll learn. I have also left out some other things like swing & exersaucer type stuff. They check it out but for the most part leave it alone. Also, I thought that after I deliver and still in the hospital I'm going to have DH bring something home that the baby was wrapped in and let the cats smell it. They will still want to smell the baby when it comes home but at least it will be a familiar scent. That's my logic anyway. Hope it helps at least a little.
|Thu, 10-04-2007 - 10:39am
|Wed, 10-10-2007 - 3:45pm
We had some stuff set up before baby arrived and a few times I put baby powder on my skin to get the cat used to the scent.
When we came home, she was actually scared of thye baby.
|Mon, 10-15-2007 - 11:14am
|Tue, 10-16-2007 - 1:24am
Bringing home a blanket she has been wrapped in is a good idea, I never thought of that. We have one 11 year old male cat that runs the show around here. Ever since we put up the crib, bassinet, and changing table, he can be found sleeping on one of them. He completely ignores his favorite sleeping bag that he's had from kittenhood. LOL. That is HIS furniture, not the baby's. She isn't due for another month, so I'm hoping things will go well when she gets here.
Also, since she will eventually be sleeping in her crib in her own room, we will be taking her door off the hinges and putting up a screen door instead. That way we can still hear her, without Mr. Kitty being able to crawl all over her and her things.
Once she grows older, we'll put her regular door back on and kitty can sleep in there as much as he likes. We're just being cautious at first with her, cuz its our first and only baby! :-)

Jen's Mom Moment: Brace yourself
Published On: May 03 2012 04:06:52 PM EDT
My oldest daughter had her first dentist appointment today. An appointment that I had to miss because I was working.
My husband bravely took her to the dentist and brought my non-stop 2-year-old along. He sent me a picture of her in the examination chair. So brave. She was looking at the camera like "what's the big deal?"
Turns out her teeth look great… but… and here's a big but… doc says she's going to need braces! Her bite is off.
Really? At four they can tell?
I guess in addition to the Florida Prepaid fund we need to start a braces fund too!

This month we're taking you to a land
where illustration reigns supreme. Whether it's an imaginative
commercial poster, an off-the-cuff get well card, or even an
expertly rendered chalkboard, the artwork of Josh Powers (aka Cake &
Kingdom) takes us to more eye-catching world--a
place where beautiful things are crafted, cut up, painted, and
pasted into place. Here's what he had to say about his work:
What sparks your
It's hard to pin down what exactly
sparks my inspiration from day to day. It could be something I saw
while taking a walk or a dream that I had last week or an old
poster on a light post I noticed in my way to work. Inspiration
comes in very subtle ways, you just have to be ready and take it
when it comes.
How would you describe your
My style tends to be on the whimsical
side. I guess I use my illustrations as a way to escape from the
hustle and bustle of the real world, so there's no sobering
commentary or poignant messages I'm trying to convey with my work.
I just try to make stuff that might be fun to look at.
What's been the biggest
singular influence on your work?
Just as it's difficult to corral
certain things that spark my inspiration, it's an equally fuzzy
proposition trying to point to a singular influence on my work. I
think it's a million different things that I have seen since the
time I started understanding what my eyes were looking at. It could
be the countless Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a kid,
fireworks, hand puppets, an old classmate from third grade, the
back of a cereal box, magazines that my grandma used to have on her
coffee table... like everyone else, I have sponged up all the
sights and sounds that have been my experiences in life and what
comes out are my illustrations.
Which project has given you the
most satisfaction so far?
I used to be a chalkboard artist for
Whole Foods Market and I still do freelance chalkboards from time
to time. Out of all the design and illustration projects that I've
been lucky enough to work on, I still really get a lot of
satisfaction working on chalkboards. Maybe it's the tactile quality
of the chalks or the idea that the chalkboard artwork is temporary
and won't last forever, so I savor it a little more for a shorter
time and then it's gone.
What do you do to keep your
ideas fresh?
I try and draw or doodle every day. No
matter how nonsensical or basic the sketch might be, there's always
a little morsel of an idea that can be used as a springboard to
something bigger. I have stacks and stacks of scrap paper full of
doodles that I have yet to get to.
What compels you to
I've always liked the notion of using
design and illustration as a way to convey a message or idea,
whether it's an ad for coffee or a poster for a local band. It's
fun trying to create something compelling enough for someone to
want to look at, which has become more challenging in this age of
ever shortening attention spans.
What computer programs and
hardware do you use?
I primarily use Adobe Illustrator and
some Photoshop on the computer side. I might also use tons of
scratch paper, paints, pens, pencils, chalks, rulers and X-acto
knives, depending on the project.
Along with working for Corbis,
what else do you do?
Besides working at Corbis I try to keep
busy with freelance work. I also make paper goods that I sell
online and at various stationery and gift stores around town.
Besides my creative stuff, I'm lucky to have a tightknit network of
family and friends close by to hang out with, including a dog named
Ollie and a cat named Poops, who keep me busy and covered in animal
One random tidbit about you
that only someone close knows.
I'm fairly superstitious and have been
known to carry around different objects that I have deemed "lucky"
in my front pocket wherever I go. A flattened nickel run over by a
train, a plastic Smurf figurine and a vintage bird pin are some of
the "lucky" trinkets I have carried around since I was a kid.

NEW YORK Banana Joe didn't monkey around this time.
The little affenpinscher with the bouncy step and shiny black coat walked off as America's top dog Tuesday night, winning best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
Affectionately called a monkey dog because he looks just like one, Banana Joe made up for near misses the last two years at Madison Square Garden.
The 5-year-old wagged his tail a mile a minute and stuck out his pink tongue after earning his 86th best in show title overall.
It was a timely win, too, coming a day before he was set to fly back to the Netherlands with his owner. That trip has now been postponed for his victory lap.
"He's won a lot of big shows, but not like this one," handler Ernesto Lara said.
A class clown, Banana Joe also is pretty bright.
"He speaks German, Dutch, Spanish and English," co-owner and breeder Mieke Cooijmans offered.
An old English sheepdog only 20 months old was picked as the runner-up on the green carpet of the Garden. Swagger the sheepdog drew the most cheers, but judge Michael Dougherty picked Banana Joe.
"He was presented in immaculate manner," Dougherty praised. "He was on the minute he walked in. … He's in perfect condition, perfect body."
Also in the best-of-seven final ring were a German wirehaired pointer ranked as the nation's No. 1 show dog, an American foxhound, a Portuguese water dog, a bichon frise and a smooth fox terrier.
Lara kept hoisting Banana Joe after he became the first affenpinscher to win at the country's premier dog show. The playful pooch enjoys tugging at his squeaky mouse toy – now this champion from the toy group can put it in the prized silver bowl he won.
There were 2,721 entries in the 137th Westminster.

West Texas Intermediate crude dropped as the Bank of Japan unexpectedly left a lending program unchanged, bolstering concern that central banks are growing reluctant to add more stimulus. WTI's discount to Brent crude shrank to the narrowest level in more than two years.
Prices fell 0.4 percent, moving lower with commodities and equities, after BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda and his fellow board members refrained from expanding their tools to address bond-market volatility. They stuck with an April plan to double the monetary base as they seek to rekindle inflation and stoke growth. Brent decreased more than WTI after production at the North Sea's Buzzard oil field resumed this week.
"Everything is falling across the board," said Jacob Correll, a Louisville, Kentucky-based analyst at Summit Energy Inc., which manages more than $20 billion in companies' annual energy spending. "Oil is moving with the broad financial market. The market is watching Japan really closely as it's one of the world's major economies."
WTI for July delivery fell 39 cents to settle at $95.38 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The volume of all futures traded was 2 percent below the 100-day average for the time of day at 3:44 p.m.
Inventories Rise
Prices dropped after the American Petroleum Institute reported that U.S. crude inventories increased 8.97 million barrels last week to 396.3 million, the highest level since July 1981. Oil futures slid 77 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $95 a barrel at 4:35 p.m. Prices were $95.25 before the API report was released at 4:30 p.m.
Brent for July settlement dropped 99 cents, or 1 percent, to $102.96 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. Volume was 8.7 percent above the 100-day average for the time of day. Brent was $7.58 more expensive than WTI, the narrowest spread since Jan. 20, 2011, on a settlement basis.
The policy makers kept the BOJ's one-year fixed-rate loan facility unchanged after two days of talks. Twenty of 23 economists in a Bloomberg survey forecast that the central bank would approve loans of two years or more. Officials were divided before the meeting about whether to extend the loans to two years, people familiar with the discussions said last week. The BOJ has tapped the one-year loan facility seven times.
"We will discuss when needed" any extension to the one-year limit, Kuroda said at a press conference after the meeting. "I haven't seen the need for it so far."
Markets 'Nervous'
Japan is the world's third-largest economy, after the U.S. and China, and ranks behind the other two nations as the third-largest energy-consuming country.
"We are not going to see additional stimulus from Japan and the markets got nervous and started to sell off," said Gene McGillian, an analyst and broker at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) dropped 1 percent. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index slid 1.2 percent. Japan's Topix index fell 1 percent after rising as much as 0.7 percent before the BOJ statement. The S&P GSCI (SPGSCI) gauge of 24 commodities retreated 0.7 percent, led by metals and energy.
The U.S. raised its 2013 forecast for WTI to $93.25 a barrel from a May projection of $93.17, according to the monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook from the Energy Information Administration. Prices will be $91.96 next year, down from the previous month's estimate of $92.25.
Buzzard Returns
The Buzzard field in the North Sea returned to approximately full pumping rates of about 208,000 barrels a day over the weekend after a halt June 6 because of an equipment failure, according to two people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified.
Buzzard is the largest contributor to the Forties crude grade, which sets the value of Dated Brent, the benchmark used to price more than half of the world's crude.
"The Brent-WTI spread has narrowed a lot," said Tariq Zahir, a New York-based commodity fund manager at Tyche Capital Advisors. "Buzzard is moving things around."
U.S. oil inventories probably dropped 1.5 million barrels last week to 389.9 million, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg before a report tomorrow from the EIA, the Energy Department's statistical arm. Stockpiles reached 397.6 million barrels on May 24, the most in 82 years.
Gasoline consumption averaged 8.73 million barrels a day in the four weeks ended May 31, down 0.8 percent from a year earlier.
Demand 'Subdued'
"Oil demand is relatively subdued," said Rich Ilczyszyn, chief market strategist and founder of commodities trading firm Iitrader.com in Chicago. "There is no reason for oil to be this high."
Oil advanced to $96.03 a barrel on June 7, the highest close since May 21. It rose 4.4 percent last week, the biggest increase since April.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries raised crude output in May to the highest level in six months while keeping its demand forecast for 2013 unchanged because of risks to the global economy.
OPEC increased production by 106,000 barrels a day to 30.57 million a day last month, led by gains in Saudi Arabia, the group said today in its monthly market report, citing secondary sources.
Implied volatility for at-the-money WTI options expiring in August was 20.2 percent, compared with 20.1 percent yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 516,102 contracts as of 4:37 p.m. It totaled 593,163 contracts yesterday, 1.4 percent lower than three-month average. Open interest was a record 1.81 million contracts.
