Ivie Does It Again West Texas lake produces two Toyota ShareLunkers in less than a week ATHENS, Texas -- O.H. Ivie Reservoir sent another Toyota ShareLunker to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) January 21, just five days after sending its first entry since 2002. Angler Wesley Pullig of Eden caught a 13.09-pound largemouth in 25 to 30 feet of 48-degree water using an X-Lock jig with Xcite Baits raptor tail craw. The fish, now Toyota ShareLunker 477, was 26.125 inches long and 19.75 inches in girth. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) inland fisheries biologist Mandy Scott saw the big fish explosion on O.H. Ivie coming years ago. West Texas was coming off a drought that began in the late 1990s and continued after 2000. When rains did come in 2005, O.H. Ivie partially refilled, and that jumpstarted the largemouth bass population, Scott said. "We got about 15 feet of water that flooded saltcedar," she said. "That benefited the spawns. We had bigger year classes, more bait fish and better habitat conditions overall." Before the rains came, Scott's surveys and angler reports showed there were too many small fish in the lake, and they were growing slowly because of a lack of baitfish. "A lot of people thought we should have stocked bass after the lake rose, but it would have been a waste," Scott said. "The water rise helped fish that were already there reproduce, and adding fingerlings might have hurt the growth of fish those fish. We decided to wait and let Mother Nature work. It's hard to do that sometimes, especially when you are getting pressure from a lot of people to put something in." It's also in human nature to want to help, and after the rains local bass clubs worked with Scott to take small fish caught in their tournaments on Ivie and release them into Twin Buttes Reservoir, which had gotten so low the bass population had dropped severely. "The clubs were very cooperative and supportive," she said. "It helped both lakes to do that." The proof that Scott's strategy worked started coming in January 16, when Ben Blaine of Merkel caught Toyota ShareLunker 475, a 14.02-pound hog. Pullig's fish confirms that was no fluke. Pullig's fish is the sixth to be entered into the Toyota ShareLunker program so far this season. Two have come from private lakes in East Texas, two from O.H. Ivie and two from Falcon International Reservoir. Big bass seem to be everywhere in the state, and the traditional big bass lakes like Fork, Choke Canyon, Conroe and Amistad have yet to be heard from. ShareLunker program manager David Campbell isn't given to making predictions, but he's glad he has a new Toyota Tundra to pick up ShareLunkers. "It rides really well with a full tank of water," he said. By the time this season is over, Campbell will no doubt be happy to have a comfortable ride. Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours. For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see http://tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available. The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects. -30-

Jagatram Niwas Guest House
Jagatram Niwas is a family-run homestay guest house in the ancient village of Heini, in the foothills of the Himalayan Dhauladhar range.
The guesthouse is situated above Dharamsala and McLeodganj - the home of the Dalai Lama - and is an ideal base for trekking, excursions, and exploring the locality.
The views and natural surroundings are stunning, with diverse flora and fauna, including kites, monkeys and mongooses.
We have nine comfortable, stylishly furnished twin and double rooms, five with attached bathroom and use of shared kitchen, and four with use of our four shared bathrooms. Breakfast is included and we can also offer traditional Himachali home-cooked dinners.
The atmosphere is welcoming - the two brothers who own Jagatram Niwas live on-site with their families - but guests may also enjoy privacy as they wish, sitting out on our huge terraces. Whether you are looking for activities (including trekking and mountaineering) or a peaceful retreat, Jagatram Niwas offers a great holiday.
The guest house is a five-to-ten-minute walk from the road, so we will meet you upon your arrival to show you the way. You will be contacted by Jagatram Niwas after you make your booking, to arrange your transfer to the guest house from Dharamsala/McLeodganj.
We are situated a 15-minute taxi-ride up from McLeodganj, along a very rough jeep road, followed by a five-ten-minute walk through village Heini. The village of Bhagsu is fifteen minute's walk below us, from where it as a five-minute taxi or auto-rickshaw ride to McLeodganj.
McLeodganj and Bhagsu offer hundreds of small stalls, shops and restaurants.
There are many local places of interest, to which we are happy to arrange excursions. These include Kangra Fort, Jawalamukhi Flame Temple, Masrur rock-cut temple, Tata Pani hot springs, and the Norbulingka Institute of Tibetan Arts and Culture.
We are also happy to arrange short treks up to Triund, and longer trips to Bharmour, Kugti, Spiti and Manali.

EXCLUSIVE: Jon Gosselin's girlfriend majored in coke and threesomes at college
Seen here in her 2005 mugshot for marijuana possession, Hailey Glassman, the new love of Jon Gosselin's life, has a sordid past that's been splattered all over the Internet since the two were spotted in St. Tropez over the weekend. According to an exclusive source who attended Indiana University with Hailey, she also has a history of snorting coke and having sex with members of the football team (Two at a time!) in her hotel room during spring break:
We lived in Bordner 200 in McNutt during freshmen year at IU. Over winter break the first year she lost 20 pounds.When girls on the floor asked for her secret she said two word…"coke diet!"
I also talked with her after sophomore spring break in Acapulco and she told some crazy stories involving her and a certain varsity athletic team.
When push came to shove….she spent all week hosting several football players in her room including then qb Blake Powers. The room was definitely not the only thing she provided (I heard about definite tag team action)… all on daddy's credit card of course.
The girl started out sweet but got consumed with the drugs, those kids better watch out before there daddy gets addicted to nose candy.
While it's nice to see some concern for the Gosselin children, honestly, there's nothing to worry about. Besides the Ed Hardy clothes, Oakley sunglasses, earring, baggy jeans, recent smoking habit, and binge drinking with Christian Audigier, Jon Gosselin's the kind of man who doesn't cave to peer pressure. That said, should viewers notice the kids swallowing balloons in upcoming episodes, you might want to call child services. Or simply tell Kate if you want to see a grown man get porcupine-haired in the thorax on cable television. Either one.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Kim Kardashian has confirmed that she's expecting a baby with Kanye West.
Kardashian, 32, posted on her website Monday:
"It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo."
Kanye had announced Sunday night that his girlfriend is pregnant. He told the crowd of more than 5,000 at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall in song form: "Now you having my baby."
The crowd roared.
Most of the Kardashian clan tweeted about the news, including Kim's sisters and mother. Kourtney Kardashian wrote: "Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!"
West, 35, also told concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mom" and that this was the "most amazing thing."
The rapper and reality TV star went public in March.
Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011 and their divorce is not finalized.
Twitterverse explodes
Within minutes, the hashtag #Kimye took off on Twitter -- as did the inevitable ribbing.
Some poked fun at West's healthy ego, saying Kanye will name his baby "Kanye" -- or perhaps "Babye."
Others alluded to West's infamous interruption of singer Taylor Swift's MTV Video Music Awards speech in 2009 when he grabbed her microphone and let loose an outburst on behalf of singer Beyonce Knowles who had lost out in the Best Female Video category to Swift.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," West said that night.
Judging from the tweets Monday morning, that incident is still fresh on many minds.
Said someone who uses the handle @FSUSteve: "I don't mean to interrupt Kanye's special announcement, but Beyonce's was much better."

Troy High School 1993 Reunion
Troy High School Class of 1993 Reunion Committee
Saturday, August 3, 2013 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Greetings THS Class of 1993!
Join your classmates in celebrating the 20th reunion this summer!
No bland ballrooms and boring chicken dinners. This will be a reunion to remember.
Event Details:
Saturday, Aug. 3rd
Time: 3-6 p.m.
The Twisted Vine, Fullerton
- Open Bar (Beer and Wine) and Plentiful Appetizers.
- Suggested Dress Code: Red, Black, and White (Prize for the most stylishly spirited outfit using all three colors.)
- More details will be added as they become available.
Why 3 - 6 p.m.?
The Reunion Committee selected these hours for several reasons:
- Off-peak hours on a Saturday allowed us to secure the entire venue for the reunion without committing to an expensive buy-out cost. All venues we contacted have a high minimum spend requirement for Saturday night which would have increased ticket prices significantly.
- Off-peak hours also enabled us to negotiate great value-added benefits like open bar (beer and wine) and heavy appetizers for a much lower cost than if the event was held at night.
- Though tickets aren't inexpensive we feel that the cost represents great value for a three hour event.
- At 6 p.m. The Twisted Vine opens to the public. We can choose to stay there or move onto one of the many other great bars/restaurants in Downtown Fullerton.
-Tickets are non-refundable.
When & Where
The Twisted Vine
127 West Commonwealth Ave.
Saturday, August 3, 2013 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Hi Im not sure Im posting in the right area, but here goes,
Iv come across a really good website thats used excellent css or I think good use of html pages to program a site to have a different coloured theme each time you click onto the company logo, or just generally click on to the homepage. When you click on the logo it changes to i.e blue, green , etc and a few other elements on the page and a number of pictures on the top right hand corner.
However I have been trying to suss out the code but how can you have mulitple home pages (you can only save one document to home.htm) that contain the <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="17.css" media="screen" /> where the different themes are.
I dont get it. :wall:
i would like to post the link but Im not sure if i can as it belongs to a web design agency but Im just exploring and looking at different types of cool websites to build as I want to build one for my own business.
any help or suggestions ?
It is likely they are changing the CSS. Check css Zen Garden: The Beauty in CSS Design for a site that has something like what you are describing. To get a different CSS each time, you are likely storing something with a cookie.
I did something similar when a friend wanted to see what his site would look like with different colors. He could visit his site, and click on a link to change the look of his site.
Post the link amzie
it could be a very simple jquery trick... done by changing the root element's ID or CLASS... maybe even a stylesheet refresh?
Ok here goes guys
Belgrade Theatre, Coventry :: Box office - 024 7655 3055
i just the love the way the theme changes any ideas on how i could do this
Can't see any Javascript. Seems it's using server side scripting to specify a different stylesheet as the page loads. 3.css, 5.css, 6.css and so on.
This small script, loaded into the head of your document will randomly write a <link> to either css_1.css or css_2.css. The problem with it is that you are likely to get a string of the same css files (eg: 1,1,1,1), rather than first one, then the other (eg: 1,2,1,2). To achieve a sequential cycle you would need to store the previous selection in some way. A possibility is a cookie.
<script type="text/javascript">
var randNo=Math.floor(Math.random()*2)+1;
document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css_'+randNo+'.css">\
Maybe we are going about this, literally, the wrong way. It could have been javascript or jQery, but... it could also have been PHP. However when you think about it, loading as separate style sheet per page just to change the logo, seems like overkill. you could achieve the same result by creating separate rules ofr each logo color, #logo1, #logo2 , #logo3... all in the same stylesheet code give the logo in each page a corresponding ID.
you could use session variables to co code a sequence in PHp, if that's what you want
Yes, but its not just the logo its the column on right hand side and small image on the top right hand corner.....:weyes:
I would be inclned to agree with dresden becuse there is no immediate switch which you would have with Javascript, the changes are all on page refresh and there is nothing to suggest JS in the source code.

Nixon Tribella watch
About 95% of the 80s-inspired fashion I can completely do without. This watch however somehow has won me over. It's clearly 80s, being plastic, angular, a bangle-watch hybrid and hot pink, but it also has a modern sophistication about it. The watch is discreet and it the hot pink is too frightening, it also comes in black!

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Orange County deputies found a 21-year-old that may have been seen being taken by gunpoint on Saturday.
Deputies said they found Viviana Nunez Saturday afternoon and are speaking with her about the incident to see if she was kidnapped. Deputies said they found Nunez unharmed.
Deputies said around 4:09 a.m., they got a 911 call about a suspicious incident and possible abduction in the road.
Deputies said Nunez, had been visiting with friends Friday night and when she left the friends home, she joined them in a car as a passenger.

November 16 at about 10:30 p.m., Pasadena Police officers and Pasadena
Fire Paramedics responded to the 1100 block of North Mar Vista Avenue regarding
a deceased person. On arrival, PPD officers discovered a male,
approximately 64 (Pasadena resident) lying on his bedroom floor. Pasadena
Police detectives and the Los Angeles County Coroner's Investigator evaluated
the scene. It appears the victim sustained fatal injuries, possibly from
a fall. The incident is under investigation. Sergeant Paul
Carpenter was the Incident Commander.
Friday, November 16, at approximately 11:14 p.m., Pasadena Police
officers responded to a call of a burglary in progress at a residence in the
400 block of North Allen Avenue. On arrival, officers received additional
information that the suspect (male, minor) was armed with a large knife and a
pick-axe. PPD officers contained the area because the suspect attempted
to flee the area. As officers started their area search, they
received another call of a suspect breaking into a residence in the 1600 block
of Wagner Street. Officers quickly responded and arrested the suspect
without incident. During the investigation, officers discovered that the
suspect held a victim at knife point. Officers conducted field show-ups with victims
and witnesses and the suspect was positively identified. He was processed at
the Pasadena jail and the weapons (knife and axe) were recovered.
Sergeant Max Dahlstein was on scene as Incident Commander and Officers
Sean Porter, Marko Tudic, Donovan Jones (K9), Jack Rappuchi, Matthew Jones,
and Aaron Villicana were involved in the incident.
November 17 at about 5:25 a.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to
the area of Lincoln Avenue and Montana Street regarding a structure fire.
On arrival, officers found that the structure where NATHA (Neighbors Acting
Together Serving All) is housed was completely engulfed in flames. PPD
officers also discovered a burglary at 2025 Lincoln Avenue. Both
structures are owned by NATHA. NATHA Executive Director, Celestine Walker,
responded to the location and she was assisted by Ronald Mathews.
PFD Arson Investigator, Wendell Eaton, is investigating the incident and
Pasadena Police Volunteers assisted with traffic control. If you would like to
help Celestine and her board recover from this tragic loss, please visit www.natha.com/, click on "Contact" and then
November 17 at about 2:30 p.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to a
local hospital regarding suspicious circumstances. On arrival, PPD
officers learned a male adult victim had been transported to the hospital by
friends. Shortly after the officer's arrival, the victim died.
Witnesses told PPD officers that they had come across the victim lying on the
sidewalk near Orange Grove Boulevard and Summit Street. The victim was
reportedly ill and in need of medical care. Los Angeles County Coroner's
Office was notified and responded to take custody of the victim's body.
PPD detectives later determine there was no foul play associated with the
victim's death.
November 19 at approximately 5:00 p.m., Pasadena Police Detectives arrested a
homicide suspect for the senseless murder of a young man in the early morning
hours of September 26. The male adult victim, a Pasadena resident, was visiting
with friends near Howard Street and Mentone Avenue, when they were approached
by the suspect who attempted to rob them. Following the attempted robbery,
the victim and others tried to detain the suspect, who ultimately hid in the
rear yard of a residence near Stanton Street and Newport Avenue, where he
laid-in-wait for the victims to approach. As the victim neared the
suspect's location, he was shot once in the upper torso, resulting in his
death. The suspect then fired additional rounds toward the remaining
victims. He then ran to a nearby car and left the area. For the
past two months, lead Detectives William Broghamer and Cuong Pham
diligently investigated this case, ultimately identifying the suspect who is a
known gang member. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is
reviewing the case for filing consideration. This case was well
supervised by Pasadena Police Lieutenant Tracey Ibarra and Sergeant Ernie
Devis. William and Cuong were assisted by Detectives Jason Van
Hecke, Ara Bzdigian, Grant Curry, and Keith Gomez. The local
media covered the story: www.pasadenasun.com/the626now/tn-626-1121-pasadena-arrest,0,4840638.story.
November 20 at 10:57 a.m., Pasadena Police officers responded to the 1900
block of East Colorado Boulevard regarding an assault with a deadly weapon
(firearm). On arrival, the officers secured the crime scene and developed
several leads. Pasadena Police detectives responded to the scene and
started their investigation. Lieutenant Richard Aversano was the
Incident Commander and our investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information
regarding this incident is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department
Detective Section at (626) 744-4511. You can also report information
anonymously through CRIME STOPPERS, at (800) 222-8477.
November 21 at about 7:49 p.m., Pasadena Police Officer Panfilo De
La Cruz was on routine patrol in a marked police vehicle. He stopped the
driver of a 2000 Buick for a traffic violation. As Panfilo approached the
driver, he immediately noticed the driver was a wanted parolee at large
(PAL). Panfilo called for assistance and several additional police
officers (Sergeant Vasken Gourdikian, Ralph Ordonez, Sean Dawkins, and James
Lopez) responded. The suspect was arrested without incident and
booked at the Pasadena jail. The passenger in the vehicle, a female
adult, was also arrested for outstanding warrants totaling 850 thousand

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- Firefighters have rescued two people from a pickup truck that ended up hanging over the side of an elevated railroad bridge in southwestern Ohio.
The fire department in Hamilton says the driver apparently tried to cross the railroad bridge but lost control, and the vehicle became stuck nearly 30 feet above a street. Firefighters used a ladder tower to rescue the pair early Friday morning, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.
The two people in the truck were not hurt. They were taken into custody by police.
Officials from rail operator CSX were working to remove the vehicle from the tracks later Friday morning.
Local officials said the tracks were expected to remain closed until they could be cleared and inspected.

If my website has "Pretty URL's" like this...
...then is there any benefit in also having a "Breadcrumb" above the Article itself?
(See Screenshot)<< SP Upload is broken again...>>
It depends.
I am not too keen on seeing excessive breadcrumb trails and especially any that represent only a couple of levels. Like Home / you are here. And every level clearly needs to point to a real page rather than represent a construct in a URI.
They have a mixed response from testers, too, in my experience. The general consensus, in so much as it exists, is that they often find pages with breadcrumbs to be too chatty, with little added value other than signposting, and duplication of links that are already there. So the main benefit is the signposting, and that is the point at which we get back to levels. It depends a lot upon the IA (information architecture).
If a complex site requires a deep IA (and it really has to be justified), then a breadcrumb system helps. If you build a set of related pages under a parent page, then it may help somewhat.
And that's without even getting to issues of HTML and ARIA.
Don't you think this is self-explanatory enough...
Also, isn't this clear enough...
(Screenshot #1)
(Screenshot #2)
It may be nice, but I think Breadcrumbs require an enormous amount of work, and considering that I have double my development time already using mod_rewrite to make things logical, the need for Breadcrumbs is borderline insulting... :rolleyes:
I do not think that there was any need to quote me, given that my comment is right above your response, but never mind.
I would like to ask what you mean by "Don't you think this is self-explanatory enough": firstly, that comes over as rather aggressive; secondly, it reads as though you misunderstood the essence of my entire answer. I am happy to help anyone, but not those who seem to be firing terse questions back, possibly before understanding my advice. Please clarify, ideally with a more polite tone and I will be happy to help.
Well, since they don't charge by the word here at SP, I was just trying to be clear to whom I was replying.
I would like to ask what you mean by "Don't you think this is self-explanatory enough": firstly, that comes over as rather aggressive; secondly, it reads as though you misunderstood the essence of my entire answer.
You misunderstood.
It meant, "If I have a Pretty URL that clearly spells out the path to the page someone is on, and clearly shows the Information Architecture, and pretty much would be echoed by a Breadcrumb, then what extra value would a Breadcrumb provide? (None, really.)"
(My comment had nothing to do with anything in your previous comments...)
I am happy to help anyone, but not those who seem to be firing terse questions back, possibly before understanding my advice. Please clarify, ideally with a more polite tone and I will be happy to help.
You're personalizing a comment that had nothing to do with you or your comments.
All I was saying is that I don't see where a Breadcrumb adds much value over my already pretty-well-thought-out URL...
I'd say that most users either have no understanding of URL structures, if they are even aware of them at all, so don't fall into the trap of looking at this from a developer's point of view. (I rarely talk to clients about URLs, because it's too much work to explain to them what they are. :rolleyes: Generally they are unaware of them, to a greater or lesser extent.)
That said, unless you have a deep site structure, I wouldn't bother with breadcrumbs. Highlighting the section you are in in the menu is a good option, I think, as you showed in the second screen shot.
It pays to take care with phrasing. Anyway. Obviously, we are in the accessibility forum, so I was and still am assuming some accessibility perspective to your question. With that in mind, your query about the URI structure being clear or not made me wonder "clear to whom?". From an accessibility perspective, the single biggest potential user group who might find breadcrumbs helpful will not be guided by URI structure. And that user group was, quite naturally, the thrust of my advice. The essence of which is that breadcrumbs only really have value in certain particular situations, yet breadcrumbs are very often overused.
So when would I cross a threshold to where Breadcrumbs would be needed or justifiable?
For example, what constitutes a "deep site structure"?
Oh, BTW, I see SitePoint uses Breadcrumbs. Is this because that feature came along for free - along with the broken upload feature - or was there a real need for Breadcrumbs here at SitePoint?
I suppose three levels deep or more, though I've never used them. I prefer each level of a site to have its own menu, so that you can see where you are in the site via the menu itself, although I don't do sites with a lot of levels.
The forum breadcrumb functionality comes with the CSM that's used—VB.
One place I would always use breadcrumbs (and this doesn't apply to you Debbie as your site's not this type, right?) is e-commerce. And they generally should NOT follow URL structure, unless your URL structure follows product category structure without too much fuddle in the URLs.
I also argue for a breadcrumb-like checkout-step thing that shows, on each step of checkout, where you are and how many steps are left (along with the first page stating what all is needed to checkout, which payment methods are allowed, and what the total cost before shipping is... cost with shipping is better if there's some sane default that most users would choose).
In e-commerce it doesn't need to be a deep structure to have breadcrumbs be nice. People who don't need them ignore them, since they're generally not in the way or any kind of cognitive burden or anything.
One thing I like about our current back-end framework is how it has a python module that can use the existing tree structure already built up in the framework to make breadcrumbs for us. It's really handy. I don't know what you're using now, but if it's a pre-made something-something, see if there's a module or script that can make your breadcrumbs (with sane URLs) which may let you choose to use them if their difficultly is making you consider not having them at all. Increasing developer workload can be a valid reason not to have a feature, but if your users would really benefit from them, take some time to look around and see if something can make that happen for you.
The thread was of interest because I have similar URLs and do not have breadcrumbs so decided to have a go
// jbBreadCrimbs($url, $spacer);
defined('_SPACER') ?: define('_SPACER', ' ¥ ');
function jb_breadCrumbs($url, $spacer = _SPACER)

As always, I appreciate your feedback, Stomme poes.
No, my site is not an e-commerce site. And, yes, I agree that breadcrumbs are needed with E-commerce sites.
Back to my original post, it seems that the biggest hurdle I need to overcome first - which started rearing it's ugly head yesterday - is fleshing out my content...
Here I went and built this awesome database-driven content site, but now I am starting to see that all content doesn't fit into my current website architecture. Furthermore, I honestly haven't really sat down and planned out what all of my content will be. And, no, this is sloppy planning. Instead it is one of those, "I'll know what I want when I build it?!"
Hopefully most of my final content will fit into what I've already built, however it occurred to me yesterday that there will be content for which I'll either need to restructure the content or build a modified home for it.
As such, I've decided to take a few days off, clear my head, and then go buy a notebook and start re-sketching out my website on paper with content included. And then stepping back, and look at my completed website, and see where any gaps may exist.
Doing all of this will hopefully give me a "clearer" perspective on how my "pretty URL's" really work/function. It will also help me determine if, when, and where Breadcrumbs might be of help.
Anyways, THANKS for all of the suggestions. You guys have still given me some tips that help.
Some sites need breadcrumbs, i personally love them because i can easily navigate to a certain category of that specific article. So i`d say yea, for the sake of accesibility.

THE sunshine saw plenty of visitors to Minehead over the weekend as crowds flocked to the town to enjoy the beach, ice cream and, for many, a trip on the railway.
Over 1,000 passengers travelled on the West Somerset Railway on Saturday, June 14, and on Sunday a special charter train took 320 Brownies and other members of the public to Minehead for a Father's Day lunchtime visit.
General manager Paul Conibeare, said: "It's great to see the business getting back to normal levels and, as over this weekend, sometimes comfortably exceeding them, especially after the slow start to the 2014 season and the widely held mistaken view that the whole of Somerset was flooded.
"Apart from benefiting the railway's own trading position the passengers who travelled will also have visited shops and places to eat in Minehead, and other places along the way.
"Our regular Saturday 'Dunster Castle Express' day out was also popular on the 14th, and on the previous Wednesday evening we'd run a successful charter train for Southampton University.
"All this shows how much the railway continues to benefit the villages and towns along our route, nd we look forward to the rest of the year with confidence."
A Styles Ice Cream spokesman said: "Sales have been very good over the past couple of weeks, all thanks to the sun, so let's hope it stays this way."
Sally Mclean, of Sally's Vintage Chic, said: "It has been busier around the town and I think the sun's helping.
"I had a good, busy weekend, but as I'm up a side road and only open a few days a week it's difficult for me to say if I've seen a big increase.
"I'll be opening seven days a week very soon, though, and I'm looking forward to inviting more customers into the store."

A MAJOR drugs gang member has been ordered to pay back almost £40,000.
A court found that Jonathan Nicholls, who was sentenced to nine years in prison for his part in peddling cocaine, heroine and cannabis in East Lancashire, had received £470,799.90 from the 'sophisticated operation'.
But it was determined only £38,620 could be claimed back from him.
The courts can only recover cash and tangible assets like cars or homes. It is not always possible to get back all of the money.
Nicholls, 32, who was charged with conpiracy to supply heroin, must pay the amount back within six months. If he does not, he will face a further 15 months behind bars.
The defendant, from Liverpool, was part of a gang led by drug barons Suhail Vohra, of Charnwood Close, and Babr Qasam, of Chestnut Walk, both Blackburn.
The gang's year-long activities were focussed on Blackburn and Preston, but it emerged they also strayed as far as Cumbria, Merseyside, Berkshire and West Yorkshire.
Officers investigated the group as part of Operation Oak, which also saw Blackburn solicitor Basharat Ditta, of Adelaide Terrace, sentenced to three years in jail for passing top-secret police information to gang dealers.
Det Supt Lee Halstead, head of Lancashire Police's serious and organised crime unit, said: "This drugs operation was carried out with a certain amount of sophistication as the drugs had to be imported into the country.
"As a result, these people, who did not have a legitimate income, led comfortable and in some cases, quite affluent lifestyles.
"This was at the expense and misery of other residents in the community, whose lives were blighted by the effects of drug dealing and associated violence in their neighbourhoods."

Preschoolers in Long Beach got a special visit from a very famous feline Thursday.
The "Cat in the Hat" stopped by Isabel Patterson Child Development Center, 5700 Atherton St., in honor of Dr. Seuss' 108th birthday anniversary on March 2.
The beloved children's character with the famous red-and- white striped hat met and greeted children as part of a partnership between PBS SoCal and Los Angeles Universal Preschool (PAUP) to promote the importance of literacy awareness in early childhood education.
The literacy campaign is being held in conjunction with four new "Cat in the Hat" episodes that will air on PBS stations in the greater Los Angeles area beginning March 2.
Dr. Seuss, who died in 1991 at the age of 87, wrote such popular children's books as "Green Eggs and Ham" and "The Cat in the Hat."
Founded in 2005, LAUP funds more than 325 preschools throughout Los Angeles County. The organization is under the umbrella of First 5 California, which supports the care and development of children from birth to age 5. First 5 is funded through a 1998 ballot initiative that added a 50-cent tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products to help fund programs for children.

Nikon D300s
The Nikon D300 is already quite a nice little DSLR to play with, and the arrival of the D300s raised a lot of questions like… Is the "s'' worth the extra bucks? To be honest… Not really, but still the D300s is supposed to be a great camera. As far as I'm concerned… I was far from impressed by D300s.
Nikon D300s Specs
– Nikkor AF-S 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED
– 12.3-megapixel Resolution
– Nikon F-mount
– 3.0-inch LCD with 920,000 pixels, 170 degree viewing angle
– ISO range of 100 to 6400
– Compact Flash and SD/SDHC support
– 720/24p Video recording mode
First Impression
Like the D90 and the D700 we tested earlier, the D300s is an impressive camera when holding it, it's body is made of a strong magnesium alloy. If you love the feel of a Nikon, the D300s won't disappoint.
While I don't have many complaints concerning its quality and, I'm not a big fan of the new multiselector button. It's unprecise, slow and in the long run a real pain to use. On the other hand I really love the dual memory card slot with both SD/SDHC and Compact Flash… It allows you to store video on one card and photos on another, and provides an automatic back up of each photo you shoot (both SD and CD will have the same contents). It also fills up your SD or CF when either one is full. For those who love shooting pictures in total secrecy… the D300s has a quiet mode, which as you may guess will let you shoot pictures without much noise… Handy if you shoot in a place where camera noise makes a difference.
Let's Shoot Baby!
Compared with the D300, the D300s has some nice little improvements like its 51AF point and a Visual Horizon that was previously only available on high end models and useful for shooting perfect pictures. It also has an improved Active D-lighting setting now with an Auto Mode and a extra hi, two more than on the D300, and an improved ISO engine that offers cleaner pictures in Hi-ISO than on the D300.
I'm not sure if it was the lens Nikon sent me with the D300s, but I wasn't that impressed by the results. After spending a whole week with it I didn't feel the D90 or D700 magic at all. I didn't enjoy taking pictures with it. Don't get me wrong, pictures are decent, but I had more misses with the D300s than with the D90. Granted I"m not an award winning or a pro photographer (someone who earns money taking pictures), but the D300s didn't feel right to me…
Once you succeed in shooting a picture you're happy with, compared to the D300 not much of a difference… I couldn't see any difference, and this was a little disappointing. Apparently Nikon worked more on adding gizmos than improving photo quality. I'm sure most of you would have preferred improved photo quality more than Nikon's useless Video Mode.
Original Photo can be downloaded here on our Flickr Account, otherwise you can enjoy them in our photo gallery here below.
What About Video Mode?
The Nikon D300s video mode is pretty much the same as the D90, with a new autofocus. I still believe adding a video mode to a DSLR is a nice, but video isn't Nikon core business and compared with a GH-1 Lumix, the 720/24p mode on the D300s is far from impressive. Also, like the D90, the D300s has the same five minute limitation on video recording… This may be enough for most of you, but not ideal for me. An HD movie freak.
The D300s takes nice pictures, but I didn't feel the same magic as with the D90 and D700. The camera feels great, but I had more misses with the D300s than I had with the D90 and D700. Maybe the lens that Nikon sent wasn't the best choice. I'm not sure but even with its new gizmos, the D300s isn't much of an improvement over the D300.

text: Alternate-E 215 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Son of Nor StillAlive-Studios Short game description "Son of Nor" (SON) is a 3rd person Fantasy RPG. It's a mage-only RPG, which plays mainly in the desert and its main focus lies on being as dynamic as possible. You cannot just move objects arbitrarily around, but you can alter your environment. You can change the terrain via terraforming magic, and you can summon spells that can be combined in a very intuitive, innovative way. It's easy to learn and simple to control, however there are so many things you can do that it can be quite difficult to master. The game itself supports single and multiplayer modes. You can play via LAN, Internet or locally on splitscreen using controllers. There will be a variety of different play modes, from simple death-matches to cooperative invasion which can be thought of as a tower-defense-like-mode. The first version of Son of Nor is going to be released around Q4 2012 supporting both the single and multiplayer arena modes described above. Afterwards an addon to the game is planned, which will add a singleplayer and coop-storyline. The story itself and the entire universe of SON are mostly done already. [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNLUxwj7dZ8[/VIDEO] Key features - Revolutionary and innovative magic system - Terraforming (levels can be modified in-game[permanently]) - No HUD: all relevant information is provided in an intuitive and "natural" way - Variety of arena-modes (coop-modes inclusive!) - Split-screen for up to 4 players on a single PC - Multiplayer-mode via LAN and internet up to 8 players - Multiplayer coop "campaign" Release Q4 2012 via Steam, Desura, etc. Platform Windows and MacOS.

hi there,
i use a dell inspiron 6000 with a Intel/Pro Wireless 2200BG card.
when i start wicd, i see my network, but even after giving in the correct pwd, i cannot connect.
is there any other pre-installed network manager i can use? is this a known problem or what do i do wrong?

hi archangel.amael,
yes, i started it from the shell as root...
no, i didn't try to configure it manually, just over the wicd gui...
it should be, at least i can connect to networks which are unsecured...
What sort of WPA network is it. As I recall it the discontinued 2200BG only supports very basic WPA, so if you're trying WPA2 that probably won't work.
Can you cut it back to WEP to be sure the card is doing encryption at the least (my atheros does WEP but not WPA, annoying because I have to carry another card whenever I'm hooking into the work network if I'm not wired).
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Unfortunately i can not change it, if the info of my isp was correct... but i will try it anyway ;-)
it's wpa1 ... so should it work anyway? or is there another driver i could use or another network-manager?
hi guys,
ok, i tried it with wpa, wep, and unsecured... it just works unsecured...
the logs for the connection attempts look like that:

If WEP connections are failing as well (did you do those via the CLI as well by the way) I'd guess there is something wrong with your driver or your hardware. Neither are fields I can willing provide information on, but I would check there - do you have another card you could test with?
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
unfortunately i have no other card...
but i have a dual boot and under win xp the card works without any problem...
by the way: idon't know wether this is also a driver issue, but the injection test fails, too...
how do i find a working driver for this card and how do i install it?
thx a lot!
According to the wiki your laptop is compatible with bt3
HCL:Laptops - Offensive-security.com
It says that the card also works ( whatever that may mean).
Some links I found, states that ubuntu has drivers for this card already built in as of 2006 ( Edgy Ubuntu).
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG + WPA in Ubuntu - LinuxQuestions.org
This link by the same person with more responses, info.
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG [Resolved] - Ubuntu Forums
All seem to state the the driver is included and should work. The same should apply to BT4. Maybe give it a shot with ubuntu on a usb stick and see if it works that way.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

i already saw that the notebook should work with bt4 just like that... that's why i was surprised, that it didn't work...
i will take a look at the links @ home...

ADNAN OKTAR: The death of babies is something bitter, so is the death of young girls, the elderly people. They are all wrong. What needs to be accomplished is the Unity of Islam. If the Unity of Islam is accomplished, the problem of Syria would be settled. Those who oppose the Unity of Islam are responsible for the Syrian issue, right? For instance, a person can not lift something with his one finger or two fingers, but he can do it with all five of his fingers. This is also the case with the Syrian problem. While the Islamic world is in such an disintegrated form, surely the Syrian issue will turn out to have such a complicated form. People shed blood and suffer pain. It would be risible to accuse America or Russia.
All the blame lies in the Islamic world. If Muslims unite and fulfill God's provision and establish the Unity of Islam, the Syrian issue will be settled in an hour. And no one would ever object to it. Islamic scholars oppose the Unity of Islam, they don't accept it. The Unity of Islam appears in the dailies very rarely. This is something God would not want. Then God takes revenge, may God forbid. He inflicts pain, fear and suffering. All kinds of inauspiciousness and scourges may surround not having the Unity of Islam. There is no point in resisting the Unity of Islam. They have to accept the solution as soon as possible. If the Unity of Islam is established, would we have the Afghanistan problem? Or the Iraq problem? Would there be any problems in Pakistan or Egypt? They will all be settled immediately.
19 May 2013, Bugün
Prime Minister Erdoğan made a statement in America that concerns the Islamic world and said the following:
"The last three centuries have been the periods where Capitalism and Nationalism rised. However no model that has been tried so far has brought any bliss and peace. Humanity is suffering a lot but we must struggle altogether. If we do not struggle altogether, as you see, no intervention can be made to Syria. Can you think of it, almost 100,000 people have been killed so far. We must question ourselves about how we can make better. It is not possible to cover any distance by accusing others. That is why the Islamic world needs a serious awakening.

Umpstead said it's not his role to recommend technology options, but he does oversee programs to help school systems prepare for the network and system demands of online testing. Although Michigan schools are already close to meeting the minimum technical criteria laid down by the testing consortiums, one of his concerns is to plan for excess capacity to minimize the likelihood of the kind of system overloads that occurred in Indiana. Policy makers in his state and others eventually want to deliver standardized tests online, so before Turning could play a role in high-stakes testing it would have to be approved by them as an alternative, he said. Test publishers would also have to support the use of the device.
Meanwhile, Umpstead said he would be interested in promoting further evaluation of the usefulness of the devices but does not currently have funding to do so.
Wendy Zdeb-Roper, executive director of the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals, said the members of her association are also interested, partly because "there's a lot of concern about schools not being ready with their bandwidth" for online testing.
Both Umpstead and Zbeb-Roper said their interest was not only in high-stakes testing but the potential for the devices to be used in more routine assessments, such as the quiz a teacher might administer at the end of a day's lesson. "There are both short-term and long-term possibilities here," Zbeb-Roper said, meaning the clickers could be both a "stopgap" solution on the way to online testing and a tool for "daily formative, common assessments."
Richard Mayberry, a former teacher who now works as a technology coach for the Lapeer, Mich., schools said it strikes him as unrealistic to expect that schools will be able to provide all the computers and all the bandwidth for fully online testing. In the pilot project he participated in with the Turning clickers, there was one small glitch where a student's data wasn't transmitted correctly, but it was still stored on the device and available for upload. "It's got that redundancy in it, and that's comforting," Mayberry said.
From the student's perspective, the experience was "pretty much the same" as a traditional bubble test, although some rated it an improvement, Mayberry said. "It certainly wasn't any worse than paper and pencil," he said, and for the test administrators it was better because they got the answers immediately.
Rooks acknowledged Turning must fight the perception that clickers are boring, old technology, soon to be made obsolete by the bring-your-own-device trend in mobile technology. Yet students who have phone batteries die or their mobile Internet connections fade halfway through a test might want to learn to have a little more respect for the lowly clicker, which can be delivered fully charged and need only enough wireless bandwidth to connect to a computer on the other side of the room.
When it comes to test technology, boring is good. The kind of excitement they had in Indiana is just what you don't want.

DETROIT - Kwame Kilpatrick's defense team contended Friday that the reason the former Detroit mayor was so flush with cash was because he had stockpiled it from solicitations at birthday parties, his office and even at his own wedding reception.
The defense in the Kwame Kilpatrick federal corruption trial has maintained that the former mayor accumulated a "cash hoard" from gifts throughout the years which would account for the nearly $841,000 the government alleges Kilpatrick spent beyond his mayoral salary.
Joseph Zainea, co-owner of Detroit's Majestic Theatre Center, testified today that he babysat Kilpatrick's twin boys as preparations were made for the former mayor's 30th birthday party at the venue.
Zainea told the court that between 200 to 300 people attended the festivities which were paid for with a $5,200 check from Kilpatrick's mother Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick.
Kilpatrick defense lawyer James Thomas showed jurors the invitation to the party which included pictures of the mayor as a baby, a young boy and the age he was at the time of event. Thomas pointed to an inscription at the very bottom of the invitation that read "wishing well" and asked the witness what he thought that meant.
Zainea indicated that he felt it was a common term used to request monetary donations.
Next to testify was federal bank examiner and longtime Kilpatrick friend Erik Rayford who recounted being invited to the former mayor's wedding ceremony in the Bahamas in September 1995. A reception for the Kilpatricks followed at the Wayne County Building Atrium.
Thomas produced the wedding invitation which clearly indicated "Monetary Gifts Preferred."
Rayford said he thought that the number of guests at the reception counted "in the hundreds."
Rayford also testified to attending several of Kilpatrick's birthday parties including the June 2006 "Splash of Red" bash at the Atheneum Hotel. Though the witness did not specifically recall cash gifts being solicited at the 36th birthday party, he thought that would have happened as that was the case at other parties.
Another witness, William Tandy, director of the Upward Bound program at Wayne State University, told the court that he also attended the "packed" Splash of Red event at the Atheneum. He, however, clearly recalled making a cash contribution.
"I was trying to give $10 but gave $100," explained the witness about how he felt he had to step up his gifting.
Ex-Kilpatrick aide Kizzi Montgomery described bi-annual cash gifting in her 6 years with the administration.
"Donations were expected," Montgomery told the court about requests for cash for the mayor for his birthday and at Christmas time.
The witness testified that her first donation around the time she started working for Kilpatrick in 2002 was for around $20 to $25 and that the last donation she made in 2006 was for $100. She explained that directors were requested to give $500 while cabinet members were told to donate $1000. Montgomery told jurors that when she worked for Kilpatrick there were approximately 25 department directors and 10 cabinet members.
Montgomery was yet another attendee of Kilpatrick's Splash of Red party. She recalled a Kilpatrick supporter making a substantial financial donation and encouraging others to follow suit.
She agreed with Thomas that Kilpatrick himself never pressed her to make gifts.
"A sign of affection for the mayor," Thomas described the gifts.
"Sure," replied the witness.
However, Montgomery agreed with U.S. Attoney Mark Chutkow that some mayoral employees complained about said gifts and that it was Kilpatrick's cousin Nneka Cheeks who made the collections.
She also agreed that Kilpatrick reciprocated with gifts for his employees only once when he gave them all $50 Target gift cards for their birthdays.
Finally, Chutkow pointed out that the cash collected from employees went towards purchasing a Rolex watch and a golf vacation for the mayor.
The defense also made sure that jurors heard that Kilpatrick did not abuse of the Kilpatrick Civic Fund and that the non-profit was used towards positive ends.
Kilpatrick pal Rayford testified that he participated on the board of the Civic Fund between 2001 and 2008 as a way to serve the community.
He told the court that he was at the final meeting in the dining room of the Manoogian Mansion in 2008 to wind up the Civic Fund. He described how Kilpatrick addressed the board members and lawyer William Phillips and told them that he would be leaving office and moving away.
Rayford said that after Kilpatrick left the meeting, the remaining attendees approved financially supporting the mayor with his move. The witness elaborated that he did not think there was anything wrong with their decision particularly since Phillips did not object.
U.S. Attorney Michael Bullotta countered the decision by having Rayford look at the Civic Fund by-laws.
"Upon dissolution, any assets remaining after full and complete payment to debtors shall be donated to a 501c4 organization with a similar purpose by majority vote of the board of directors," read the witness.
Tandy, an organizer of the the Detroit little league football team the Westside Cubs, testified that in the period between 2004 and 2008, the Civic Fund donated 7 checks totaling $10,800 to the team.
He was unaware, however, that that the Civic Fund had used the Westside Cubs in donation solicitation letters that went out in the years 2006 through 2008.
Court resumes at 9 a.m. Monday.

Within 24 hours of going 8-4 in his inaugural season at the helm of UNC Football, Larry Fedora found himself the second longest tenured "major college" football coach in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Only Duke's David Cutcliffe has been in his current position longer than Larry.
One of Coach Fedora's eight victories, of course, came at the expense of the, then, Tom O'Brien-coached NC State Wolfpack. TO'B's fateful decision to punt to Gio Bernard in those waning moments accelerated the coaching discontent that seems to ever-fester among the Carter-Finley crowd like a peat bog fire.
That Gio-hangover was so debilitating that O'Brien's gridders somnambulated themselves a week later versus the woeful Hoos of UVa. Those eight days and the resulting howls from the West Raleigh lunatic fringe convinced NCSU AD Debbie "Frau" Yow to pull the trigger on The Ruddy-faced Marine after six years.
For all their high-tone talk about "building character" and "running a clean program," UNC's sister institution has decided to once again go asearchin' for a savior to lead them to wherever the heck they think they belong. Apparently a series of Whozit Bowls wasn't it.
Early mumbling from the Yow-led search party center on Vanderbilt's James Franklin because he and Frau were together at Maryland. This is a version of the Sean Miller basketball search that ended with Mark Gottfried. Choices beyond Franklin will likely go the usual lunatic path of Cowher – Gruden – Belichick – Saban – et al.
Life offers fewer on-looker pleasures more enjoyable than an NC State coach search. If you've never watched one of these wild 'n woolies, I definitely recommend doing so. Keep in mind that the Internet and talk show comments you will be absorbing come, for the most part, from humans who can breed and even vote….. and operate heavy machinery.
Meanwhile amid Kenan's lofty pines, the off-season preparation for The Fighting Fedorians version 2013 begins immediately. Seventeen seniors depart including the last remaining Barth Brother. Haven't we had a Barth doing our placekicking since we switched to soccer-style back in the 70s?
I have it on excellent source that Coach Fedora knows that Defense was a bit of concern this year among some factions of HeelNation. Personally, I'm just fine with Pinball Football so long as we have the highest number on the scoreboard. That said, seeing an opposing QB sacked every now and then would be nice.
I have every confidence in Larry Fedora knowing what his team needs to get better and how to achieve that state of being. I've been impressed with every thing I have seen and heard from "our coach". I am one fan who does pay attention to off-field behavior as well as Fall Saturdays. Bring in youngsters who can run, jump, and benchpress a Buick….. and who behave themselves….. AND can navigate UNC's academic curricula.
Coach Fedora and Bubba The Real AD are "good people". If you haven't met either / both try to do so at any opportunity. Ask them stupid question if you must. Their tolerance for such is limitless. Engage them with your interest and support.
UNC Athletics has labored under some most unfortunate revelations over the past several years. Mistakes were made and oversight was, in many cases, non-existent. Some individuals responsible for that oversight are no longer employed at UNC, or at least in the athletic department. Healing our wounds is a painful process but a mandatory one.
Support UNC Athletics to the degree you are comfortable. Fans are fickle and tough times usually lighten the load of any bandwagon. ….. and do try and watch that lunatic fringe at State during their coach search. Guaranteed to be more fun than a box of puppies.

SUNDAY saw more people visit Worcestershire Royal Hospital's accident and emergency department than on any other day in its 12-year history.
The day after England played its opening game in the World Cup against Italy, 241 patients arrived at the department, compared with a usual figure of about 210.
But doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers at the hospital were up to the challenge, with only six patients waiting more than four hours to be treated.
The hospital has not given a reason for the surge in numbers.
A&E manager Lisa Spencer described the day as "extremely busy" but praised her colleagues for their hard work managing the flow of patients through the hospital.
"We were able treat our patients as they came into A&E and then refer them to a speciality and transfer them to the appropriate ward for further care," she said. "This reduced the 'bottleneck' that we sometimes see in A&E, which results in patients being seen in the corridor.
"The type of patients we saw ranged from the acute medically unwell, chest pains, strokes, and accidents to minor injuries. A vast majority of our patients came to see us with minor injuries.
"Our Emergency Nurse Practitioners were able to concentrate on treating these patients with great expertise, leaving doctors to concentrate on patients in the resuscitation room and majors."
Out of the 241 patients, 81 were suffering from serious injuries or illnesses while the remaining 160 were classed as 'minor'.
Sixty-six patients were admitted to hospital while the others were either sent home or transferred to another facility.
A&E sister Jenny Harris said she had not realised so many patients had attended A&E until she saw the figures.
"Everyone worked hard and we had beds available," she said.
"It didn't feel too overwhelming as it has done previously with fewer patients, but no beds to transfer patients to.
"The team performed brilliantly and it just proves with the right amount of staff, dedication and flow into the hospital, the department can perform efficiently and safely."
Elsewhere in the county, 168 people visited A&E at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital while 68 attended the 24-hour minor injuries unit at Kidderminster Hospital on the same day, all of whom were treated within four hours.
On a typical week, Sunday and Monday are the busiest days at the hospital's A&E department.
For advice on whether or not or not to go to A&E call NHS 111.

Ergates and Jesus_Phish are the two people who are mainly correct on this topic.
In terms of your credit rating (or 'blacklisting' as you put it) - this absolutely does not apply to you outside of the UK. Running up a debt, especially for as something as minor as a telephone contract, will not affect your credit rating in France. Failure to pay will result in the service being disconnected and the company will put a default on your credit file to reflect that you have not maintained payments for the duration of your contract - but no French company will be able to see this if it's done in the UK.
OP, your original idea of letting the debt be sold on to a debt purchaser is not a bad idea. However, even if you then settle the debt at a discount, you credit file will only be updated to mark the default as partially satisfied with a balance of £0.00. The default will technically still be there, but there's something on it to reflect that you've paid it off. There are circumstances in which a default can be completely removed, but do not count on it if you just can't afford to pay because of your financial situation.
Anyway, lack of shared credit files with the wider EEA means that, if you do run up a debt and move abroad, the company will be totally unable to trace you - unless you do actually give them your French address voluntarily.
TL;DR: No, running up a debt in the UK will not affect your ability to get credit in France. Unless you're a serial, serial fraudster and Interpol get involved or some of that crazy shit.Guild Wars 2:
