Thanks in advance for any help.
I've created a page that lists the taxonomy of a custom-post-type. The issue I'm running into is I've created a page that should only pull the category and a placement code (in the example that's standard). It's pulling the placement but how do I get it to add in the dynamically created category pulled from the previous page.
Code that dynamically pulls taxonomy (category header). This pulls the right category on the page.
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); echo $term->name;
Code below that pulls on the particular placement. How do I add the dynamically pulled taxonomy pulled by code above so content meets both criteria.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'buyersguide',
'meta_query' => array(
'key' => 'Placement',
'value' => 'standard',
'compare' => 'LIKE'

VA hospitals have always sucked.
Mary Novack,I hope to hell you never have a homosexual or transgender child or grandchild because I would be afraid for their life at your hand,NO ONE chooses this lifestyle it is a birth defect,get that through your head! a BIRTH DEFECT,it is not visible,no missing arms or legs,no blindness,or deafness,just a severe emotional pain of not being the norm,trying to fit in,and still wanting what everyone else has,a wife,a husband or children and having to deal with people like YOU! LOVE,COMPASSION,UNDERSTANDING AND TOLERANCE,maybe you should indulge in a little of each of these,the vibes you are sending are very unchristian and hateful.
In addition, regarding Mary Novacks letter, this line of fake rationality I've heard many times over the years and it is as false now as it was the first time I heard it. This would result in a ban on marriages for anyone that is infertile or sterile at birth, or who has as a result of illness or injury become so. When someone is opposed to something they'll use any reasons, no matter how irrational, to justify their own beliefs. No one can accept they might be the villain in a story.

Soccer sign-ups
Sign-ups for the Campbell County Soccer Association fall league will be held at Walmart on July 17 and 24 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A tryout for the middle school girl's team will be held July 19, 20 and 22.
Baseball camp
For a team that lost a pair of double-digit scorers and rebounders, the Campbell County High School boys didn't look half bad during the recent Belmont University Team Basketball Camp.
The Cougars won 6 out of 10 games against some pretty stiff competition. Campbell County opened the camp with victories over Antioch and Harpeth before narrowly losing to Brentwood by three points.
"The game against Brentwood was our best effort of the day", said Cougars' coach Barry Jones.
Campbell County High School is ramping up its volleyball program with a pair of summer camps.
Kara Clemenz, head volleyball coach at the University of the Cumberlands, directed a camp for the Lady Cougars earlier this week.
The Lady Cougars are also scheduled to attend a team camp July 26-28 at Carson-Newman College.
"I'm real excited about all that the girls picked up today. They are showing some good enthusiasm," said Campbell County coach David Seals, following Monday's camp session at CCHS.
After winning their opening all-star game vs. Harrogate by a 14-12 count, the Dunaway Legals faced Maryville at Maryville and Eagleton at CCHS. With his three big guns — Noah Vibbert, Andrew Evans and Tate McGhee — unable to pitch due to pitch-count rules, Coach Jim Lane went with Kaleb Jarrett as his starter. He was followed by Adam Markley and Jacob Monday.
Nobody is happier to see Lucas Nelson back on the basketball court than Barry Jones, the boy's varsity coach at Campbell County High School.
Nelson, a rising senior who took the past year off from basketball, is a perfect fit for the run-and-gun style of play that that Jones adopted from college coaching legends Paul Westhead and Nolan Richardson.
"He brings a lot to the table," said Jones.
With four starting positions to fill, Mike Reynolds, the boy's basketball coach at Jellico High School, got a chance to evaluate talent during three summer camps.
Considering their losses, the Blue Devils didn't look half bad in camps at Fulton, the University of the Cumberlands and Georgetown University. Jellico finished its summer schedule with a respectable 15-10 overall record.
"I never like to read too much into records during the summer, but it's good for the kids to play against teams like these," said Reynolds.
The Knoxville Track Club Summer Youth Track Program has grown by leaps and bounds at the site hosted by Campbell County High School.
This is the fifth year that CCHS has hosted biweekly practice sessions, and participation numbers keep climbing.
Replacing a pair of 1,000-point career scorers will be of paramount importance this year for the Campbell County High School girl's basketball team.
Gone is Jessica Moore, an NCAA Division I college basketball signee, and Candice Seiber, both of which led a balanced attack in which eight players scored at least 100 points during the season.
The Academy of Martial Arts, located at LaFollette Fitness Center, hosted a tournament competition on Saturday, May 22. Students from martial arts schools in Tennessee and Kentucky competed in the event. The all-day tournament included kata, weapons, point fighting, sport jujitsu and grappling events. Competitors ranged in age from 8 years old through adult.
Senior instructor Larry Bostic was extremely pleased with his competition teams performance.

Apple has a hardware engineering team entirely dedicated to improve battery life by performing cellular power optimizations. And they need a new member to make the next iPhone and iPad even less power-hungry.
It's no mystery that cellular connectivity draws a lot of juice from our iPhones and iPads, especially when we stream video or play online games.
Apple is looking to alleviate this issue by making new improvements to the way iPhones and iPads handle cellular data.
"Ubiquitous connectivity is one of the key traits on iPhones and iPads," reads a job advert for iOS Cellular Power Engineer on Apple.com.
"On the iOS Power team, we work hard to provide great connectivity with great battery life. We're looking for a software engineer to work on cellular power optimizations," Apple states.
Needless to point out, the new recruit will need to possess excellent understanding of various cellular protocols (GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, LTE, and others).
Applicants also need to have serious debugging skills (both in software and in hardware), if they want Apple to consider their resume.
Some coding will be required on this staffer's behalf, "preferably in C/C++/Objective C (or similar languages)," Apple says.
As usual, Apple wants a guy / gal who has good communication skills, both verbally, and in written conversations.
On a broader note, Apple explains, "In this role, you will work on all aspects of iOS, from board/module-level issues through the operating system all the way to application behavior."
The company stresses that the purpose of this job is to achieve strong battery life for iOS devices through good power management on all levels involving cellular connectivity.
"Optimizing battery life involves solid testing methodology and strong debugging skills in both software and hardware."
As an additional note, Apple says "To be successful in this role, you must feel comfortable working with many cross-functional teams in a fast paced and dynamic environment."

Lung biopsy
A needle lung biopsy is performed when there is an abnormal condition that is near the surface of the lung, in the tissues surrounding the lungs, or on the chest wall. The test can be performed to obtain a sample for culture when infection of the lung is suspected, and sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage cultures have not identified the cause of the infection.

Probe Finds 1 in 3 Funeral Homes Violated Laws
One in three funeral homes in the city aren't respecting New Yorkers' right to have pricing information available, according to a city investigation released Wednesday.
A survey of 438 funeral homes throughout the five boroughs by the city's Department of Consumer Affairs revealed that one-third of businesses failed to comply with the law to prominently display prices on location and over the phone.
"The idea of an in person engagement, an up-selling opportunity…that's really not what consumers ought to be subjected to in New York," said DCA Commissioner Jonathan Mintz.
The department issued more than 300 violations – most of which were for failing to property display and provide pricing information during its recent two-month investigation.
The findings show funeral homes are complying at a slightly lower rate than following a similar study conducted two years ago.
Prior to the investigations, the DCA met with funeral trade associations and held a training session with funeral home owners to help ensure that local businesses understood consumer laws and what was expected of them.
"I'm not particularly happy about the way that the funeral homes have responded," Mintz said.

Suspect Sought In Attempted Home Invasion; Police Say There May Be A Second
October 4, 2012 11:53 AM
New Britain police are looking for one — possibly two — men in a home invasion early this morning.
Police say a resident of number 75 Willow Street woke shortly before 2 a.m. to find a masked man with a gun inside his apartment. He fought with the man, who eventually fled the scene and was last seen heading north toward Putnam Street.
Police say a second man, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, was spotted outside the building about the same time and may be connected with the break-in.
Anyone with information is asked to call New Britain police detectives at (860)826-3130.

(Nov 19, 2008) Article 5 of the National Health Insurance Act of the Republic of Korea states that Korean nationals who reside in the country are national health insurance policyholders, unless their employers provide other health insurance. Recently, due to the increasing number of cases of overseas Koreans coming back to the country for a short time in order to receive expensive medical care, the cost of medical care for Korean expatriates has rapidly escalated. In 2007, medical care in Korea cost the national plan altogether 41.2 billion won (about US$ 31.6 million). These returning overseas Koreans pay only a small amount in premiums, such as perhaps one month's premium (60,000 won, about US$46), and return to the country where they live after the medical treatment. The government plans to change the regulations so that Koreans resident abroad must pay three months' worth of premiums when they become national insurance policyholders.

Would Have Worked 10 Years Ago – 6 Excuses For Schwarzenegger's Lovechild (page 3)
May 18, 2011 6:30 AM
I'm too embarrassed to buy that XBox video game system for myself.
The tyrant rule of Playstation 2 slipped in 2001 as Microsoft unveiled their first video gaming system- The XBox, a machine that would go on to change the video game market forever. It wouldn't be until years later that new Dads and Fathers would have enough courage to buy one for himself. Maybe Arnold wanted to be ahead of the curve. After all, wasn't their slogan "Life is short. Play more?"

Why Kathryn Budig is Just Plain Cool.
I've emailed Kathryn Budig twice in my life.
Once to ask her if she really trained Snoop Dogg (which she did on a TV show for E!) and whether she does flying pigeon poses in her workshops because if she does I would have to bring my hockey helmet. I'm not so good at flying pigeon poses at this point in my life.
The second time I emailed her was yesterday to borrow—a.k.a. "right click, save image as"—the black elephant journal icon on her site. (I don't like stealing things, so I had to ask.)
I needed a black elephant journal icon for my site and it would take me roughly three to five business days to replicate what Ms. Budig did with the sizing of her icon. I'm computer illiterate so I don't know how to do this type of stuff.
Both of these emails she responded to within a few minutes, with a nice message to clarify and answer my questions.
This is one of the reasons why she's booked out for years with seminars and is on the front cover of every major yoga publication. It's no accident that when someone asks her what she does for a living she can say, "I just got back from Auckland, New Zealand teaching a yoga seminar." How cool is that to say you were in Auckland? Do me a favor and say the word Auckland three times, it's a lot of fun!
She's a hard working gal, I know this because only hard working people schedule things before eight a.m. and respond to emails in two minutes. She's also an incredible writer and has built a larger following off of her blogs and magazine articles.
Her Monday classes at YogaWorks start at 7:15 a.m. The last time I was in Santa Monica I attempted to go to her class and instead woke up, got up to brush my teeth, looked at my clock, then looked at the door, then looked at by bed and chose the bed as the best available option at 6:30 a.m.
Most importantly her yoga philosophy also translates into life.
1. Take Risks. She's always encouraging people to take risks in their practice and in life.
2. Have passion for your craft. In an article for Huffington post she said, "Yoga will change your life." The belief that your passion will change lives.
3. Aim true. She quotes Artemis, "Make my aim true. Give me goals to seek and the constant determination to achieve them."
I'm a big fan of individuals pursing their passion and being authentic in their teaching. Kathryn's a great role-model to learn from.

Kathryn is an excellent teacher as well. I was pleasantly surprised by her thoroughness and professionalism when I took her workshop at Moksha in Chicago…. Jim
But do you really think it's a mark of a great yoga teacher to be at his/her computer all the time? I used to think so, now I would be more impressed with a person who is able to devote quality time to their practice, teaching and just life, with online communication being scheduled and done as one of the tasks and not the main activity of the day. Some teachers seem to live on their Facebook pages…

text: MaxStirling 5pts I'm actually consider the Charger and SHO for my next car and debated the pros and cons of both vehicles. I haven't test driven the SS yet so it's not included in the summary. Here's what I've concluded: The EcoBoost engine is great and has a lot of tuning potential. With just a tune, one can easily get over 400HP. I don't like adding FI to a NA motor so no mods for the Charger. The Ford also has a 6spd auto vs the older RT with a 5sp auto. I prefer an AWD drivetrain and both the SHO and RT can be had with that.The Charger looks way better then the SHO inside and out. The seat are also much better then the SHO. I feel like I'm sitting on top of the Taurus seats as opposed to in them.Both vehicles handle OK for most daily driving, but the German's (BMW 5 series and Audi A6) clearly outshine both.My conclusion is that if you are the type to keep their cars stock, the RT is clearly a better choice. If you are the type to squeeze more power out of their car without cracking open the engine, the SHO is a better choice with some compromises.

Ed. note: This new column is about sports and the law. You can read the introductory installment here.
It wasn't until law school that I realized adult life was one long series of birthday dinners. There was one every week it seemed. And at one birthday dinner in particular, I gave a speech that would haunt me for the rest of my law school career. Like an STD.
It was somebody's birthday and we were eating Mexican food. And I was stationed at one end of the extra-long tables near a few friends and acquaintances. Several beers into the meal, I loudly steered the conversation towards a discussion of herpes. I'm not really sure why I did this. I think I had read something on the intertubes that day. At any rate, I told my end of the table that herpes was way more commonplace than they thought, and that the effect of the disease was far less dire than they thought. That, sure, some cases were worse than others, but that the puritanical myth-makers in our culture had convinced us that it was worse than death. Which it wasn't. I was in high dudgeon, my friends. The floor was mine, and I was taking no prisoners in my attack on what I had deemed a cultural sex libel. "I'm telling you, ladies and germs. Herpes is NOT THAT BIG A DEAL!"
Not a single girl present at that dinner ever came close to having sex with me. On a related note, Kris Humphries was sued for allegedly giving a girl the herp.
Sports? Let's talk it….
Kris Humphries, née Kardashian, has had a rough go of it lately. And just when his luck had seemed to turn around, when he had settled into a damn fine Nets squad and put some distance between he and his ex-badonk, well… he gets publicly humiliated for allegedly giving a girl herpes. That girl may have allegedly caught herpes, but poor Kris Humphries can't catch a break. Our nation's future paper of record, TMZ, tells the tale:
According to the suit, Kris came on to Kayla, touching, kissing and dancing with her. Kayla claims he took her to his hotel and they had sex multiple times … including oral sex. The suit claims during a portion of the sexual encounter Kris did not wear a condom.
The lawsuit claims Kris did not inform Kayla he had herpes — and she claims in the suit that he did indeed have the disease.
Kayla says a week later she was diagnosed with herpes. Her symptoms included a sore throat, fever, body aches and immobilizing pain, as well as extreme vaginal irritation and painful lesions on her genitalia.
In case you're wondering, this is all alleged to have happened before Kris and Kim Kardashian started the greatest love of all.
"So does this mean Kim Kardashian has herpes?"
Excellent question, Kanye. The evidence would suggest… well, we can't be sure. As for Kris's legal defense, I've got nothing. I'm barely a lawyer. But I do think that his best public relations move would be to murder the hell out of a bunch of dogs. It sure did distract everyone from Michael Vick's original starring role as Ron Mexico.
Jose Canseco was my favorite baseball player when I was 9 and 10. If he says the Worcester Tornadoes, of the Can-Am League, owe him a bunch of money for trying to pass bad checks and generally being awful, the 9-year-old me thinks they should give Jose Canseco his money. The current me just can't stop laughing because Jose Canseco is suing the Worcester Tornadoes, of the Can-Am League, for causing emotional distress. According to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette (via Deadspin):
Mr. Canseco alleges in the suit that checks totaling $7,000 that he received after complaining about the money owed him were issued from bank accounts containing insufficient funds and bounced.
The suit further accuses the team and Mr. Breighner of misappropriating Mr. Canseco's name and likeness, causing him severe emotional distress through threats and verbal abuse and affecting his professional reputation through false statements.
Listen, there wasn't a bigger fan of the Bash Brothers than I was. I think I may still have a bruise on my right forearm from all the out-of-control bashing I did with it when I completed mundane tasks like throwing away garbage or talking to a cute girl at school. I bashed until I couldn't bash anymore. I'm quickly losing the thread here.
The point is, Jose Canseco has become a pathetic, twitchy monster who sues Pro-Am teams while filing for bankruptcy. In an attempt to salvage my fond childhood memories, I have no choice but to believe that Jose's twin brother Ozzie is behind all of this. How dare you, Ozzie. How dare you.
Last week, we ran an item in Rap Sheet Roll Call that mentioned child pornography charges being brought against the coach at Minnesota State. I made a killer Coach joke. But this week has brought a more measured discussion of just what the coach, Todd Hoffner, is being accused of. Hoffner is accused of filming his children, and the videos are described thusly:
According to the charges, two videos filmed June 26, show the kids naked. In one, which lasted about a minute, all three children drop towels and jump around nude, while Hoffner's 8-year-old son fondles himself and his daughters bend over and spread their buttocks. In the second, which was about 10 seconds long, the sisters dance naked and their brother enters wearing only a football helmet.
A third video, the longest at about two minutes, was filmed Aug. 8. One of the girls is shown being awakened in bed and told by a male voice to "go potty." She is followed to the bathroom with the camera focused on her flowered underwear.
Despite this description, Hoffner's wife defends the videos as innocent home movies. And somewhere between innocent and child pornography lies the opinion of one Minnesota attorney, who says in a Minneapolic Star Tribune piece:
"Some of what is captured on video is distasteful," said Christa Groshek, a Minneapolis defense attorney who has handled many child-pornography cases and who has reviewed the charges — two felony counts of child pornography — against Hoffner. "But that doesn't make it criminal."
This seems to present the issue perfectly. Can parents be prosecuted for distasteful videos featuring their children? It seems to me that parents have been capturing rather grotesque images of their children for decades now. If a child pornography charge would stop my mom from showing future girlfriends pictures of a baby me naked on a bearskin rug, I'd strongly consider such action. And what of the Coppertone girl? That iconic ad doesn't seem far off from the images Hoffner is alleged to have captured.
Whether or not Todd Hoffner is ultimately guilty of child pornography, his case raises the question of whether our society has accepted sexual predators' view of children as easily sexualized — whether, in trying to protect our children, we have begun to see them in the same way predators do.
* As part of a lawsuit against him, two massage therapists seek to force Brett Favre to admit to sending racy pictures to Jenn Sterger. Crocs or GTFO.
* Former Chicago Bear Sam Hurd had his bond revoked for allegedly trying to buy large quantities of drugs while waiting for his trial, where he stands accused of trying to buy large quantities of drugs. Sam Hurd is a strange loop.
* The lawyer for the tennis ref accused of killing her husband argued this week that she was physically incapable of carrying out the murder. YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!
I stand before you bloody, but unbowed. Your refusal to even attempt the various quizzes I have assigned is unfortunate. I feel like you'd probably learn something. Not only about the law and sports, but about yourself. Today's quiz features two of the most exciting feuds in all of Sports Law. First up is a feud in danger of bubbling over, one pitting Richard Posner against Antonin Scalia. The two brawlers have traded blows in the press and seem destined for a bout at Madison Square Garden. The other feud is the greatest feud of all and one that already featured a bout at Madison Square Garden, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. The following quotes are from each of these two classic feuds. Guess!
A) "The decisive objection to the quest for original meaning, even when the quest is conducted in good faith, is that judicial historiography rarely dispels ambiguity. Judges are not competent historians. Even real historiography is frequently indeterminate, as real historians acknowledge. To put to a judge a question that he cannot answer is to evoke "motivated thinking," the form of cognitive delusion that consists of credulously accepting the evidence that supports a preconception and of peremptorily rejecting the evidence that contradicts it."
B) "Arizona bears the brunt? Arizona is only one of the states that border Mexico, and if it succeeds in excluding illegal immigrants, these other states will bear the brunt, so it is unclear what the net gain to society would have been from Arizona's efforts, now partially invalidated by the Supreme Court. But the suggestion that illegal immigrants in Arizona are invading Americans' property, straining their social services, and even placing their lives in jeopardy is sufficiently inflammatory to call for a citation to some reputable source of such hyperbole. Justice Scalia cites nothing to support it."
C) "He's a court of appeals judge, isn't he? He doesn't sit in judgment of my opinions as far as I'm concerned."
D) "It's gonna be a thrilla, and a chilla, and a killa, when I get the Gorilla in Manila."

Can the top of an aluminum-flashing windscreen do double-duty as a pot support? It does on the caldera cone, yes, but what about a straight-sided, roll-up windscreen that would contact the bottom of the pot? I have a wide-bottom, short-sided pot--more like a pan-- I'd like to use with an efficient (slow, therefore not oxygen devouring) up-burning alcohol stove. (It's the Zelph Simmerlyte.) Would a cylindrical windscreen with holes at top and bottom work as both screen and support, do you think?Clearly the windscreen would not shield the pot from heat-robbing wind, as a caldera cone would. I might forfeit that, for the simplicity of being able to roll up the windscreen/support, and have it take a minimal amount of storage space around the inside of the pot during transport. Part of my question is: how important is it to have the bottom part of the pot sitting within the windscreen, as is done traditionally?
Edited by Bolster on 11/19/2013 10:20:57 MST.
It certainly can work, but you will loose all of the efficiency you gained by going with a wider pot. Less of the pot will be exposed to the hot combustion gases (meaning less area to transfer heat to the liquid), and more of the pot will be exposed to the ambient air (more heat loss to the environment).I would definitely look into adding an insulating sleeve around the sides of the pot.
Yes, this can work, but you need to be careful and keep it low for stability.I scaled down the idea and made one out of a tealight cup as the low-pressure alcohol burner (2 grams) and a thin strip of aluminum as a pot support (2 grams). The pot was an aluminum cup.--B.G.--
I would design it so there's a gap between the windscreen and the bottom of the pot, not just some holes close to the top. Otherwise most of the hot gasses from the stove would never reach the bottom of the pot.
You could have slits at the top to let hot gas through and stay close to potOr you could have half circles - like take your existing screen and cut off right through the circular holes
What will happen if you have a 5.5" dia. pot and a 5" dia.> windscreen/pot support that is 2" tall and use a StarLyte burner as the heat source? The pot is 2.5" in depth and holds 2 cups of water with plenty of head room. the windscreen will fit nicely inside the pot.The windscreen design is such that you have plenty incoming and outgoing air holes. What happens to the heat coming out of the top holes.....it rises up the sides of the pot where the pot absorbs the heat because the surface of the pot is much colder than the rising heat.....right? The pot will continue to absorb heat until the water begins to boil...right? If you have ever watched steam coming off the top of your pot you can see the air currents swirling inward over the top of the pot....right? Do we have the pot completely surrounded by heat...yes, the same as the Caldera Cone.Will a breeze make a difference on it's efficiency....yes! How much????? depends....we have variables:-)Just today I was able to see Hiram Cook has some videos on his test of the StarLyte without windscreen and with it under a Caldera Cone. Some interesting info in the videos.

Edited by zelph on 11/19/2013 14:26:08 MST.
Interesting, Edvin. So the hot gasses would not "pile up" on the center bottom of the pot and finally push themselves out to the sides (as I thought); you're saying that much of the hot gas would be exiting prior to getting to the bottom of the pot, because the top row of holes are somewhat lower than the bottom of the pot. If that's true, then it's a seriously flawed design idea. I suppose the easy way out, here, is to use a wider windscreen, and to put two titanium skewers perhaps an inch down from the top of the windscreen and rest the pot there. And eliminate the top row of holes. That would drop the pot down "into" the windscreen and even catch the heat as it curls around the edges of the pot.Dan: I'm having a hard time understanding...?
Edited by Bolster on 11/19/2013 14:30:32 MST.
There are a couple things that do not favor doing it that way, but it can certainly be done.You would loose the airflow around the sides. As the heat shoots around the corners, it sets up a small eddy current that will prevent residual heat from warming the sides efficiently, hence the water inside. Of course, this makes the case for a rounded bottom to help minimize that. But, a more bowel shaped bottom also decreases surface area for adsorbing heat. A full heat screen will trap the residual heat, forcing it to warm the pot more evenly along the sides as well as the bottom. Don't forget we are tlaking only after the heat as done its job on the bottom, so, this is strictly for efficiency. Radiative heat loss was previosly discussed. An insulating blanket would help with that. Wind will also drive heat away from the pot. While you do have the benefit of heating the bottom, the heat being blown away from the pot will likely yield poor efficiency in any sort of breeze.
I think "flawed design" is over stating it. It might take 10% or 20% more fuel.The hot gases flow out of the holes and are directed away from the pot. Better to have the hot gases flow up the side of the pot, like James and others said.I have two windscreens, one with holes like yours, another that better directs gas up sides of pot, it uses about 10% or 20% less fuel. But that's un upright canister which will probably be different than alcohol stove.
"But, a more bowel shaped bottom ..."I'm not sure that this is anatomically correct.--B.G.--
"Straight sided" (cylindrical) windscreens can in fact do a good job. Here's a Bobcat system from Flat Cat Gear.And indeed, you can balance things on top, like this pan.Would it be more efficient to have the pot reside below the rim? Yes, particularly if you can get the hot gasses from combustion to flow up the sides of the pot as they exit, but the functions of a windscreen are first to block wind and second to trap heat. Your windscreen with top mounted pot will take care of those two functions.HJAdventures In Stoving
Laminar Flow Photos by Tony(Schlieren photographry)Take a look at these photos to see how heat surrounds a pot to isolate it from ambient air temperatures:<center> </center>Laminar Flow versus Turbulent Flowhttp://www.bplite.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1086I know a lot of you have seen the discoloration of the Caldera cones that show 1/2 of the upper portion of the cone has more discoloration towards the opening where the pot handles are. It's my theory that the boundary layer is much greater/thicker around the top of the cone. Some photos show the discoloring like a large ring 2 inches from the top of the cone. That shows you the heat distribution inside the cone.Tony's photos clearly show that the heat coming up from around the pot goes strait up not outward and away from the pot.DYAdventures In DIY Stove Making
Dan, I would add that the velocity of heated gasses, or heat density if you will allow, is less along unrestricted sides. As you can easily see in your photos, the layer of heat along the sides is much less than the bottom, due to the velocity of the heated air. Unless this is broken up and contained next to the side walls, you can loose a significant percentage of otherwise usefull heat as it speeds by the pot. You can easily see the edge "bubble" I was speaking of in the third (flat sided pot) and fourth pics, though somewhat after the fact, as with most turbulence. This tells me that a wind screen about 2/3 of the way up a pot would be nearly as effective as a full screen.
Dan, I would agree that the hot air will tend to cling to the pot as it rises. But even a gentle breeze will blow that column of air away from the sides of the pot. When I have boiled water without a windscreen, I've noticed that even moving my body while tending the stove produces enough air disturbance to cause boiling water in the pot to stop boiling and then resume when I hold still. I would guess that I have used a stove in air still enough to permit that kind of air flow on fewer than 5% of the trips I've taken. That kind of air flow is just not relevant to backpacking except under conditions that are unusual in most places.
That Bobcat windscreen is just about the tightest cylindrical windscreen I've ever seen. Usually cylindrical screens are recommended to stand off from the pot by 1/2 inch or so. During one experiment I cinched up a cylindrical screen modestly close around a pot (using a high-oxygen-requirement SuperCat) and snuffed out the flame entirely. This, despite plenty of holes in the bottom of the screen. So I'm not sure how the Bobcat can get so tight to the pot, and still allow the stove to breathe. Anyone know?
Edited by Bolster on 11/19/2013 21:05:50 MST.
Looks like the Bobcat has holes at the top, so tightness shouldn't be an issue.If it Does, snuff, or restrict to stove, just start adding holes.
I like the "cylinder with a couple tent stakes" to get the pot down into the windscreen a bit. I've been cooking up (no pun) this idea to make slots for the fasteners so the screen can be squeezed into a smaller coil and dropped into the pot. I thought Chicago screws would be easy--- like the ones used for binding papers. Whip it out of the pot, letting it spring open, slide the stakes in the sides, drop it over the stove with a priming pan/reflector and flame on :) I've used simple aluminum flashing for the screen, BTW.I'm sure your fixed cylinder would work, it's just a matter of efficiency. I do like the simplicity and stability of a fixed tube. As others said, some slots or vents of some kind at the top edge would allow the flames to caress the sides of the pot. I like the idea of scoop shaped vents: you can buy "knockout punches" for punching holes in an electronic chassis if you want something that will give a clean cut. They can be cheap on eBay.
Greg: My confusion continues, because when I had my windscreen reasonably tight, it was barely covering the base of the pot. On the Bobcat above, the holes are cut in the screen high up, and much of the pot is covered. All else being equal, my system would have had more breathability. The only way I can make sense of it, is that the stove used by the Bobcat is not a huge oxygen sucker (like the SuperCat is known to be). I'm fairly certain my SuperCat would snuff with a Bobcat screen. I suspect that slower burning alk stoves have two advantages: greater fuel efficiency, and less of a need for air quantity (allowing tighter, more windproof setups). Dale: Scoop shaped vents seem like a winner of an idea! The windscreen wouldn't roll as tight, but neither would you have to worry about wind blowing through the holes as much (if at all). By "scoop shaped" I assume you mean louvered vents like this? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6819194901_15e5624147_o.jpgEDIT: just realized what you meant, Dale. You were referring to "crenellated" cuts along the top, like a castle tower.
Edited by Bolster on 11/19/2013 21:02:40 MST.
It's magic (and a lot of HARD WORK). Best regards - Jon
Okay, crenellations are typically straight sided on a castle wall, seeing that it's probably easier to cut and set the stones. Let's say semi-circular crenellations. Louvers could be very interesting. The cheap trick there would be to cut the edges and fold them over 45 degrees or so. It would be easy to tweak them for testing. Going from there, a windscreen doesn't need to be round. Imagine a hex or octagon with tops and/or bottom flanges spread for airflow and some extra stability too. They could be bent alternately too. This is stuff you could do with basic hand tools and a vise with some plywood in the jaws. This could take all winter :)

Rule of Thumb: Sizing the Virtual I/O Server
nagger 100000MRSJ Comments (5) Visits (17866)
The classic consultant answer is "it depends on what you are doing with Disk & Network I/O" is not very useful to the practical guy that has to size a machine including the VIOS nor the person defining the VIOS partition to install it!
The VIOS server unfairly gets a bad press but note:
Who knows the I/O details to rates and packet sizes?
So here is my Rule of Thumb (ROT), starter for 10 with caveats:
Remember this is a starting point - monitor the VIOS as workloads increase - starving you VIOS is a very bad idea.
These are my opinions, I am sure others have different ideas too, comments are welcome ... thanks Nigel Griffiths

Motorola, Inc., a US telecommunication company based in Illinois, USA, manufactures numerous electronics products including Motorola cell phones, Internet hardware and network infrastructure, among other items. Motorola is one of the first electronics manufacturers that released the infamous "Flip Phone." This was one of the first Motorola unlocked cell phones that brought the much-loved "Star Trek" series to life. However, according to recent filings of sales and profit statements, Motorola has slipped from its dominant spot, although the company is finally starting to recover.
With the flood of numerous cell phone manufacturers and big name players in the intensely competitive mobile market, these companies have knocked Motorola off its game and it is easy to see why. Nevertheless, according to the recently released third quarter profit results, times may be changing for the company and its profits appear to be rising.
Reporting a six percent sales increase in its third quarter, Motorola states that this increase has resulted in a net profit for the first time in over three years running. What helped this sales and profit increase is the over 3.8 million devices the company so far in 2010. Sanjay Sha, Motorola Mobility's CEO, stated that the mobile division showed an upward trend in its momentum over the year, which has led to the profitability.
Adding to Motorola's recent success are the 22 Motorola cell phones that the company released over the year. Most of these Motorola cell phones use Google's Android operating system. Google Android OS has become one of the most successful mobile phone operating systems since the release of Apple Inc., iOS.

Florida just made it easier for divers to rid state waters of invasive lionfish and to kill as many of the dreaded, venomous fish as they can.
At its meeting Wednesday in Lakeland, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission decided to waive the recreational license requirement for divers harvesting lionfish using certain gear. Commissioners also voted to exclude lionfish from the commercial and recreational bag limits, allowing people to take as many of the invasive fish as they can.
Previously, recreational anglers could only catch up to 100 pounds of lionfish without a commercial license.
Now they can target lionfish with hand-held nets, pole spears, Hawaiian slings or any other spearing devices designed and marketed exclusively for lionfish - all without needing a recreational license.
An executive order in August 2012 temporarily allowed harvesting lionfish with the same gear and without a license, but that order was to expire Aug. 3. The new rule takes effect before the executive order expires, so there won't be a lapse in the expanded permissions.
Lionfish don't belong here. They are widely distributed throughout the western Pacific from southern Japan to Micronesia, Australia and the Philippines.
The popular aquarium fish got loose in the Atlantic about 15 years ago. Now they span from the Caribbean to Connecticut.
In Florida, they wreak havoc on native species, including about 50 species of fish, crabs, shrimp and other Indian River Lagoon life that's been found so far in their guts.
Two Florida Tech students first spotted lionfish in the lagoon region in 2010, inside Sebastian Inlet.
Since then, lionfish have been found as far north as the Trident Basin inside Port Canaveral. They've also been seen in the lagoon.
Lionfish have for years invaded mangroves in the Caribbean, and that's what's happening in the lagoon, FWC officials say. That was one of biologists' worst fears - that the fierce lionfish would infiltrate one of the lagoon's most important nursery areas for prized snapper, grouper and other commercially significant species.
FWC wants researchers and others to bag lionfish and put them on ice and so biologists can study where they go, what they eat and whether they contain the ciguatera toxin, which can sicken people who eat certain reef fish.
The most effective way to harvest lionfish from Florida waters is with a spear or hand-held net, FWC officials said.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration launched an "Eat Lionfish" campaign a few years ago. In some areas, control efforts involve local spearfishermen or drives to come up with good recipes for their fillets.
Officials want the lionfish dead but warn people not to handle them. The fish's venomous spines can cause a very painful wound.
Lionfish usually lurk along reefs 50 feet or deeper.
Cold water welling up from the ocean floor can push them in from offshore reefs.

Meet Baby
Event times
No need to book - just drop in.
Suitable for ages 12 and older.
The Manchester Small Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), nicknamed the 'Baby' computer, was the world's first computer to store and run a program. Watch volunteers put our replica of Baby to work, and see how far computing has come since 1948.
Our replica was built in 1998 from original parts to mark the 50th anniversary of the world's first stored-program computer. As the original no longer exists, this is the closest you'll get to an important piece of computing history, which took place right here in Manchester.
See our replica of the Baby computer on display in the Revolution Manchester gallery
Did you know?
- The original Baby computer was built at the University of Manchester using technology developed for Second World War radar and communications equipment.
- The first program the Baby ran was a test for prime numbers and could run from seconds to hours, according to the size of the trial number. The historic first run took just a few seconds.
- The Baby was just a prototype, but it led to the development of the Ferranti Mark I, the world's first commercially available computer.
- Our replica has less computing power than a modern calculator, yet is 5.2 metres long, 2.2 metres high and weighs 1 tonne.
Our volunteers put the Baby to work
We can't always demonstrate the Baby at the advertised times because of volunteer availability. If Meet Baby is an important part of your visit, please check the event is running by calling 0161 832 2244.

SWG in span/tap mode : blocking policy doesn't work
I have a SWG virtual edition in span/tap mode, and the monitoring mode works perfectly.
My network configuration : Management card & Monitoring card, in span/tap mode.
I have modified my configuration in blocking mode, and also configured my default policy to block some categories.
My users still can reach the websites in this category, they don't get a page telling them those websites are forbidden. When I check the Web destinations menu, I can see the action taken by SWG is blocked instead of monitored (which is correct).
I see that in the span/tap mode network configuration, I have the possibiliy to add the LAN adapter to my configuration. Do I have to do this in order to use the blocking mode? Or do you have any idea why I can't use this mode?
Thank you in advance, and best regards,
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
How is your network setup? Are your users on the same subnet as your SWG, or are you able to test from a machine on the same subnet as the SWG?
Blocking works fine in span/tap mode for web pages. Doesn't work for AV scan file downloads though. I'd recommend checking out the below article for what can/cannot be blocked in the various SWG modes:

Health professionals treating mentally ill patients often attempt to commit patients to psychiatric hospitals. When the patient will not agree, the doctor may consider involuntary commitment. This is generally considered at the insistence of the family. In recent decades, the United States Supreme Court has limited the circumstances where a person can be committed to a mental hospital against their will. Despite these rulings, the civil rights remain under attack. The public bodies often perceive those who suffer from a mental instability as a danger to society and want them separate from the community (Wahl, 1995, p. 1). Throughout this paper, I will detail the current system that governs involuntary commitment. I will also discuss the history and significance of that policy, and the key issues surrounding that policy. I will finally discuss the steps that are required to protect the civil rights of the mentally ill.
The Mentally Ill and their Civil Rights
The system that governs involuntary commitment has its origin in the judiciary system. The U.S. Supreme Court began reshaping the mental health laws during the 1960s, during the civil rights revolution, which conferred equal rights under the law to the American people. Though not a regular minority, the mentally unstable became viewed as a disadvantaged group that had suffered at the hands of the majority. That attitude is reflected in the Court's decisions and in their approach to involuntary commitment. Also reflected in the current policy is society's error over numerous shocking stories about people abandoned in mental institutions for decades.
The Court first extended the civil rights guarantees for mental health patients facing commitment in the case of Specht v. Patterson, in 1967. The Court ruled that involuntary commitment to a mental institution "is a deprivation of liberty which the State cannot accomplish without due process." (The Courts have since reaffirmed that...

Dear Budget Fashionista,
I've recently developed slight bags under my eyes along with dark circles. I attributed it to my age ( I'm 45) but I still don't want to have these bags. Any advice?
How to Get Rid of Dark Circles Under Your Eyes
Answer: Here's some tips for reducing the puff and dark circles:
– Dip two cotton balls into a glass of cold whole milk and place the cotton balls on your eyes for about 10 minutes. This works wonders for me.
– Boil two tea bags (chamomile works best), cool them so they are cold to touch, and place them on your eyes for about 10 minutes.
– Make sure you're getting enough sleep- at LEAST 6.5 hours a night
– Drink plenty of water- like 8 to 10 glasses at day
– Apply Vitamin E oil to the eye area.Not only does it help with bags, but it helps with wrinkles as well
– Also cucumber or potato slices work well by increasing circulation to the eye area.

What is Mahad al-Zahra?
Mahad al-Zahra is an institution of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah dedicated to the memorization of al-Quran and its studies. Memorization of al-Quran al-Karim is pivotal in the curriculum of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah. Memorization is coupled with a thorough education in the art of recitation, Arabic grammar and pronunciation, and Quranic tafseer (exegesis). Hence, at Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah memorization of the Quran is not merely a portion of the curriculum, but the induction of Quranic values into one's lifestyle. The objective in establishing Mahad al-Zahra has been outlined by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS in the following excerpt: "I named It Mahad al-Zahra so that it may receive the barakat (blessings) and blessings of Moulatona Fatema al-Zahra, to whom this Dawat (call of guidance) is associated. The Mahad has been established in order to provide education of recitation in accordance with the laws of tajweed, to facilitate the memorization of the Quran Majeed and to offer a means of study of its knowledge. It is also responsible for providing education regarding contemporary fields of knowledge and languages so as to highlight the all-encompassing nature of the Quran and the greatness of Islam. I thank Allah Ta'ala for it is through His grace that construction has begun and I pray to Him that studies within this institution begin soon and in accordance with my expectations." Excerpts from al-Kalemaat al-Nooraniyah 1396H translated from Arabic.

Delicious. I followed the recipe exactly. I used a lot less parmesean with this recipe, than with others, but didn't miss the extra cheese- even though I am not willing to sacrifice 'tasty' for 'healthy,' generally speaking. The quantity of dressing was a concern, but I found that a little went a long way. Even though another friend is very proud of his Caesar recipe, a guest said this was even better.flag if inappropriate
I served this salad lastnight and we all agreed it's wonderful... has such a nice flavor....no arguements of whether it was "real" or not. Really no need to get all bent out of shape about the ingredients when friends gather to share a meal made with love! Yes, I too will be making it often and plan to have the dressing on hand in the fridge. God Bless! Enjoy!flag if inappropriate
Sheesh- much ado over nothing. I found this recipe good, not great. The debate gets tiring. Add an egg (coddled or not) if you care to. I've worked with James Beard House chefs that have not uttered comments as snotty as I've seen here. No one said this was a "true Caesar"- get over it.flag if inappropriate
True Caesar, fake Caesar, what does it matter, the dressing is delicious. I plan to use the dressing and croutons with the Blackened Steak Salad recipe from this site. Maybe I'll call it Blackened Steak Caesar Salad!flag if inappropriate
For you that say that true Caesar salad is just anchovies, coddled egg, garlic, lemon juice, dry mustard and oil, that is actually incorrect. There are many vairations, but the original Caesar belived by most food history experts was invented by Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico, in 1924, and contained: romaine, garlic, croutons, Parmesan cheese, eggs, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce... NO MUSTARD OR ANCHOVIES. actually he was supposedly staunchly opposed to having anchovies added. so with this said, almost every person that has said this is not a true Caesar salad, have probably never had a true one themselves!flag if inappropriate
I had never made caesar salad before and this recipe was so easy! The dressing was wonderful! The croutons were delicious...although next time I will cut the salt in half...the seasoning was a bit salty. Other than that....this recipe was absolutely delicious!flag if inappropriate
I like my caesar dressing better but the croutons were great and easy!flag if inappropriate
Hi from Australia. I made this salad to go with cold corned beef, it was delicious.flag if inappropriate
Authenticity set aside, the dressing was flavorful and delicious. The croutons were also quite good.flag if inappropriate
Ah, the great Caesar Salad debate . . . . best of both worlds: the food snobs get to strut their "superb food intellect" even though this recipe clearly makes no claims to be authentic; and the ignorant people who fear that even being in the same room with a raw or coddled egg will kill them and their entire family, when in truth you have better odds of winning the lottery. So that leaves the rest of us who can sit back and laugh at all the yahoos, comfortable in the knowledge that we can make good decisions about what we eat and feed our families for ourselves.flag if inappropriate

Among Alaska's Inland Eskimos
Helge Ingstad
In 1949 Helge Ingstad flew into Northern Alaska where the Nunamiut people, a caribou-hunting group, resided. Ingstad was the first Westerner to visit the region. After living with the Nunamiut for nine months, such was the admiration for Ingstad that they wanted to name a beautiful mountain in their territory after him. And, in the 50+ years since then the mountain has been known locally as Ingstad Mountain. When Ingstad passed away in 2001 at the age of 101, a petition was made to the U.S. Geological Survey to officially name the mountain after Ingstad. But the policy is that no landmark can be officially designated until five years following the death of the individual whose name is being used. In 2006 Ingstad Mountain officially enters the U.S. Geological Survey maps.
Nunamiut is Ingstad's fascinating account of that nine- month visit with the Nunamiut. He learned their language, recorded their legends and superstitions, and participated in their caribou hunts and fishing expeditions. His personal account is an engrossing and original work.

Harms and Dixon Named All-Americans by AVCA
Dec. 12, 2012
Senior opposite hitter Katherine Harms (Albertville, Minn.) was named a first-team All-American, while junior middle blocker Tori Dixon (Burnsville, Minn.) was named a second team All-American, announced by the America Volleyball Coaches Association on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
The All-America honors follow all-region and All-Big Ten selections for the Gopher duo. The Harms and Dixon selections mark the ninth time in the past 11 years a Golden Gopher has received All-America status and the 22nd and 23rd honor in school history. It also is the first All-America honor for Harms, while Dixon received honorable mention status last year. Junior outside hitter Ashley Wittman (Shakopee, Minn.) was named an All-America honorable mention.
Harms saved her best season for her last as she led the team in kills (516), kills per set (4.10) and points (607.5). Following the conference season, Harms was named a unanimous All-Big Ten selection, her first career honor. A six-rotation player, Harms ranked third on the team in digs (311) and second in aces (42). She finished the regular season ranked sixth in the Big Ten in kills, third in points per set, 10th in hitting percentage and fifth in aces.
She bettered her junior numbers from 305 kills to 516 this season and 177 digs to 311. In NCAA Tournament action this year, Harms led the team in kills (58), kills per set (3.87) and aces (6). She amassed her 1,000th career kill in the regular season finale against Indiana (11/24). Harms finished her Gopher career with 1,071 career kills and 654 career digs. Having a standout season, she entered the year with 555 career kills and 340 digs. Having never earned weekly conference awards, Harms snagged three Big Ten Player of the Week honors this year.
From the first match of the season, Dixon continued to dominate against her opponents, as she hit .436 this season. That hitting percentage was fourth-best nationally and topped the Big Ten Conference. In just 711 swings, Dixon has 383 kills, 73 errors to average 3.04 kills per set. She opened her junior campaign hitting a stifling .875 this year and since then, hit over .500 in 14 matches this campaign.
In league games alone, Dixon hit .420, which only rivaled teammate Dana Knudsen. A Preseason All-Big Ten honoree, Dixon was a three-time winner of the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Week. Against Penn State earlier this year, she accomplished a season-best 11 blocks, averaging 1.06 per set this season. Dixon ranked third on the team in aces (31), had 86 digs and produced 491.0 points In 126 sets played.
Dixon collected her 1,000th career kill on Dec. 1, as she helped Minnesota to a four-set win over Creighton to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16. She finished NCAA Tournament play with a hitting average of .379, collected 40 kills in 87 attempts and committed just four errors in four matches played.
Wittman was named a team captain last spring and has led the Gophers throughout the 2012 campaign. A 2012 Preseason All-Big Ten, Wittman ranked third on the team with 357 kills to average 2.86 kills per set. A six-rotation player, Wittman led the Gopher back row with 350 digs this season to average 2.80 digs per set. Wittman is the only current Gopher to establish over 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in her career. She now has 1,355 career kills and 1,085 career digs. Serving up 15 aces, she also averaged 0.47 blocks per set.

U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine, in his first official act, turned thumbs down on the man who will be his boss. Career-limiting move? Perhaps, but it wouldn't necessarily be seen that way if, two days earlier, Bridenstine had voted against the "fiscal cliff" resolution bill.
After all, Rep. James Lankford voted against the bill and is now part of House Speaker John Boehner's leadership team. Bridenstine, R-Tulsa, and Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, will probably be on the same side of most issues in the coming two years.
Bridenstine ousted veteran Republican congressman John Sullivan last summer and easily defeated his Democratic opponent in November. In the election for speaker, Bridenstine supported Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., also part of the leadership team. He was one of only 12 Republicans to oppose Boehner.
Some members of Congress linked to the tea party movement, including Bridenstine, weren't happy with Boehner's role in a tax increase included in the compromise bill. Some Republicans who voted for the bill — including every member of the Oklahoma delegation except Lankford — will get complaints from the tea party; some of them may draw primary opponents based largely on the tax increase.
