"I customized them for my bridal shower to blush and added a photo of my fiancé. I went to michaels and bought some stick on rhinestones and added 2 to the monogram area. They were great quality and I got so many compliments. People also loved that I added an engagement shoot photo of my fiancé and I to the back of the menu."
"Very happy with product. Actual product matched what it looked like online. Had to get help with questions from customer service and they were very helpful and very nice. A great value!"
"I ordered this menu card for my daughter's Bridal shower to match the invitation. The end product was just astonishing! We love the design and most important the attention of the staff given to us as we had to make some edits! Great Customer Service!!"
"I loved the design from the start, but the best part for me was the AMAZING designer. When I indicated in the notes to the designer/editor which font I liked, they made an GORGEOUS with that font. I cannot even explain how perfect it is! I never really thought much of a menu at the wedding, but these turned out so perfectly, I can't wait for guests to see these!"
"The bride to be selected a classic, long, white menu to place in the napkins. Navy printing. Wonderful black and white engagement photo on the back. The quality is superb. The text and images are exquisite. As the mother of the groom, I appreciated the customer service. The text would not fit online, but I made a note about what I needed the menu to say and the designers had a proof ready in a day. I used live chat when I had questions. Fast, courteous service, helpful editing. Very accessible. I ordered 10 to test the product and then 220 when the bride to be LOVED them. Highly recommend."

The Power in Unity 2014 multi-stream conference from a whole-system philosophy, brought together all the key information on smart grid, smart metering, energy storage and power quality.
The 'whole system' approach to adapting the UK's power grid for decarbonisation, with a 'systems architect' role at the helm, recommended by the IET Power Vision Joint Network (PNJV) report "Electricity Networks: Handling a Shock to the System" has been explored further.
A selection of leading professionals from the Power Network Joint Vision Expert Group discussed the challenges being faced in integrating low carbon generation to the grid while decarbonising heat and transport and the role of a system architect for the UK electricity system (Electricity Networks: handling a shock to the system). They put forward their perspectives through plenary sessions, parallel conference sessions and panels.
Delegates found out about how this work aims to assist the government in lowering carbon emissions, making more efficient use of the UK's resources, and identifying new opportunities for jobs and exports.

PDF 1.4 introduced Reference XObjects, but it has not been implemented in Acrobat in the intervening years. With the growing popularity of PDF/X-5 documents and interest in variable data printing (VDP) Acrobat decided to add support for Reference XObjects in 9.0. This is likely to benefit Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and print providers to provide customized workflows for their customers by executing VDP.
So far, there were no consumers for documents containing Reference XObjects (including absence of it in Acrobat) because there were no producers for the same. Acrobat finally breaks this chicken and egg situation that has been prevalent for a while. With Acrobat's support of such documents, more applications will be encouraged to produce them.
What the PDF Reference says (Section 4.9.3):
Reference XObjects (PDF 1.4) enable one PDF document to import content from another. The document in which the reference occurs is called the containing document; the one whose content is being imported is the target document. The reference XObject in the containing document is a form XObject containing the optional Ref entry in its form dictionary. This form XObject serves as a proxy that can be displayed or printed in place of the imported content. The proxy might consist of a low-resolution image of the imported content, a piece of descriptive text referring to it, a gray box to be displayed in its place, or any other similar placeholder. The presence of the Ref entry distinguishes reference XObjects from other types of form XObjects.
When the imported content replaces the proxy, it is transformed according to the proxy object's transformation matrix and clipped to the boundaries of its bounding box, as specified by the Matrix and BBox entries in the proxy's form dictionary The combination of the proxy object's matrix and bounding box thus implicitly defines the bounding box of the imported page.
For a detailed description see: PDF Reference Manual
Using Reference XObjects in Acrobat 9
In Acrobat 9, reference XObjects are enabled by default for PDF/X-5 documents only. To enable it for all documents, select Always as the View Mode for Reference XObjects in Preferences –> Page Display. The location of the target documents can be specified in the box below that.
Since reference XObjects access external content, security becomes a concern and to ensure that the documents are trust-worthy, the location of the containing documents must be specified in the Enhanced Security locations. This can be found in Preferences –> Security (Enhanced). All documents accessing external streams must be added as trusted locations irrespective of whether the checkbox, Enable Enhanced Security is checked or not.
With these settings in place, Acrobat will look for target documents in the specified locations and use the imported content. If it does not find a target document, or if there is an error in the pdf, or if the containing document is not trusted, the proxy will be displayed.
Special Notes:
The Ref dictionary contains:
F – File specification dictionary. This is according to the file specification given in PDF Reference 1.7. For non-english characters to be supported across all platforms, the file name must be contained in UF, the text string entry.
Page – Integer or text string. A page index or page label identifying the page of the target document containing the content to be imported.
ID – array. An optional entry specifying a file identifier for the file containing the target document.

While not stellar for other menu items, their ribs are just out of this world!! Totally fall off the bone, juicy, and not over sauced or over cooked. And, extremely important to me, they are consistent.
And they have a really nice house side salad too.
My only gripe is that the place always feels a bit less than clean to me. Other than that, it is our favorite place to go for ribs.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Soulpeace Dragons aren't easy to spot in the wild, but their rather rare appearances are said to be good omens. Folklore speaks of them as being able to cure curses. Though this has never been confirmed, humans often set up traps in hope of catching feathers from a Soulpeace Dragon's wings. As a result of their hunting, these wise dragons have become scarce over the years; they have migrated to remote regions where they can live a more carefree lifestyle.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Baked Beans, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, June 9, 2011
While they're certainly convenient for summer cookouts and parties, canned baked beans can be a deceivingly high-calorie side dish. Make your own flavorful, lightened up version with our recipes and tips.
Nutrition Facts
Canned baked beans are often made with a laundry list of preservatives and processed sweeteners. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, corn syrup and molasses are the four different sweeteners added to one of the most popular brands. One half cup of a typical canned brand has 160 calories and more than 15 percent of the daily recommendation for sodium. A small amount of pork fat is also often added, which makes them a no-no for vegetarians. Some homemade baked bean recipes can be even worse. Many call for as much as a half-pound of bacon or salt pork, which adds anywhere from 1000 to 1700 calories and up to 180 grams of pure fat to the recipe!
Less Salt and Sugar, More Flavor
All you need for tasty homemade baked beans are a few pantry staples. Start with canned beans like pinto or cannellini and rinse and drain them to remove up to 40 percent of the sodium. Combine in bowl with flavorings like ketchup, Dijon mustard and a little molasses, brown sugar or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake until bubbly.
To add even more pizzazz, stir in fresh rosemary or thyme. Or, instead of pork fat, mix 1 to 2 ounces of finely-chopped lean ham, bacon or pancetta before baking; it will distribute flavor throughout the beans without letting the calories skyrocket. For a vegetarian version with smoky flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or some spicy chipotle pepper.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By BRETT GERSTENBLATT
While few things are more important to sales than a strong, distinctive, respected brand, many mid-market CEOs place brand building on the back burner. This is probably because of the cost and the fact that value of brand building is hard to quantify. But it doesn't have to be if the work is done right.
To elevate brand building to its rightful position as a driver of growth, and make its impact so clear and effective that the CEO knows it's adding value, here are six fundamental actions you need to take, starting now.
Find out where you stand. The first step, always, is to view your brand the way customers do, from the outside in. Are you perceived as delivering relevant value? Does your company stand out? Are customers happy or unhappy? What do industry pundits say? If you haven't done the basic research, the time to do it is now. Effective branding needs grounding in reality.
Craft a great story. Based on your findings and objectives, write a brand narrative everyone gets, one that defines your strengths, your differentiating value, and your brand personality (how your brand behaves). Next, angle the story for different audiences, from customer segments to employees. Your brand story will become a basis for both communication and action. This means not only advertising and marketing; it includes company policy and business practices.
Build a better experience. At our firm, we often say "experience is the brand" – because it is. That's why the best companies focus on the customer experience across the board. Take a look at your research and examine how people experience your brand across every touch point, from product functionality, to trade show presentations, to the way your people answer the phone. Where are you delivering on your value proposition? Where are you falling short? If some time has passed since your last assessment, gauge new opportunities and changing customer expectations. Then work to improve the customer experience at every conceivable point of interaction.
Sell your ideas. Increasingly, customers want more than products – they want ideas that help them succeed. The expertise of your people can be a big factor in driving your brand. To leverage that asset, first talk to customers and see what they think and care about. Then identify people in your company that have answers and a knack for communication. With their help, create a bank of content you can then deliver across any number of venues, from the insights section of your website, to articles, white papers and videos, to webinars and presentations at important industry trade shows. Keep in mind, while ideas don't drive sales, they surely drive buzz, which in turn drives sales. In the long run, thought leadership can help you dominate by becoming an indisputable go-to source.
Fire up the team. To drive sales on the outside, your brand has to be strong in the inside, inspiring a work force that's up to speed and fully equipped to deliver value. Survey employees to see what they're thinking and what they need to do their jobs better. Uncover issues that detract from productivity, collaboration and customer satisfaction. Begin to build a brand-aligned culture that's knowledgeable, dedicated and excited – and invest in the tools and training the need to innovate, collaborate and succeed.
Leverage quick wins. While you're working for the long term, think about the short term – specifically, tactical campaigns that can accelerate sales by surprising customers, increasing awareness, or throwing competitors off balance. Just as important, you can use quick campaigns to test ideas at relatively low cost. And because results are easy to track, you can refine and platform ideas that work.
One final thought: No matter what your business, customers are emerging from the bunker right now. But they remain wary about spending. Their business must be earned. In this environment, a strong, trusted brand that delivers the value it's supposed to and that captures the imagination of its customers is in position to win.

Topic: Adjuvant therapy - Gemcitabine or Capecitabine?
Hello, I meant to post an introduction but am having difficulty (my problem). I have a question please -
Does anyone know if there is any updated information about outcomes from the BILCAP trial? Or is there any other information suggesting whether Gemcitabine or Capecitabine is more likely to be effective as adjuvant therapy?
My husband is due to start chemotherapy in a couple of weeks' time after his second resection (last month) for intrahepatic CC. He has clean margins again and is doing well - back at work part-time and riding his bike. His tumour was said to be ductular on the path report the first time and while there have been several recent papers regarding possible differences between intrahepatic CC arising from ductules vs ducts, I don't think there is much about what that might mean for therapy. Like many who get this disease, he had no obvious risk factors. He didn't have chemo after the first resection (October '11). The second tumour was probably there after the first operation but too small to be seen on the post-op scan.
We thought he would be offered Gemcitabine this time but the oncologist has given us the choice of Gemcitabine or Capecitabine. We've said Gemcitabine but thought I'd ask if anyone knows more.
Thanks to the moderators and everyone involved with this board.

THERE are just a few weeks left for you to nominate a young athlete who you believe deserves a grant from our Sports Stars of Tomorrow initiative, organised with Devizes-based charity Bag4Sport Foundation.
The charity will hand out six grants to youngsters who need financial help to reach the top in their chosen sport.
Three winners will receive £500 each, with £100 each going to three runners-up – but your entry must arrive by July 31 to be in with a chance of winning.
One of last year's winners, Harriet Eyles from Ramsbury, was ranked in the top ten in the UK for U12s earlier this year.
An injured elbow means she is learning how to use her left hand when playing.
Mum Ros said: "Harriet's problem has recently been diagnosed as a piece of cartilage coming adrift.
"This has meant she has been unable to train properly or compete at all. Not to be set back by this news, she has decided that until her right arm has healed, which will take six to 12 months, she will continue her training and re-learn how to play using her left hand.
"This will make sure her fitness keeps high and that she has new challenges to inspire her.''
Undeterred by her injury, Harriet is now ranked ninth in the UK at javelin at U13 level, winning the Wiltshire title and will represent the South West in August.
Mrs Eyles added: "The funds from Bag4Sport provided last year enabled her to upgrade her rackets, have several more individual lessons to work on specific areas of her game and to travel to tournaments slightly further afield to allow her to compete against different girls outside the region.''
To be in the running to receive a grant of up to £500 get your parent, teacher or coach to fill in the form in this week's Gazette & Herald or go to the Bag4Sport Foundation website bag4sport.co.uk or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
All entries must be received by July 31. We will need to know why nominated person needs help and their achievements to date.
Any youngster up to the age of 16 can be nominated but they must not already be receiving a Lottery grant.
We will pick one winner and one runner-up from each of the three edition areas of the Gazette & Herald – Devizes, Marlborough and North Wiltshire.
Bag4Sport Foundation raises money to help grass root sport and talented individuals reach their potential.
July 13: London 10K
August 2-4: Devizes to Paris cycle ride.
December 14: Santa fun run, Devizes.

For those who don't believe in second chances, what about third time's a charm?
Kevin Moore has made a surprise return to The Biggest Loser in what will be his third attempt to shed the kilos that gave him his epithet of Big Kev. And no, he is not a resident of the Victorian town of Ararat. But hey, that's television.
The once biggest contestant to ever grace the Biggest Loser scales at 254.7 kilograms, 27-year-old Moore exited with mother Rosemary Reynolds in a tirade of f-bombs after the pair failed to lose enough weight in an early round last year.
But Moore soon returned to the Next Generation edition in a surprise twist and went on to lose a huge 56.1kg overall (or US Loser winner Rachel Frederickson, with a bit more flesh), though it did not earn him the crown or the prize money.
Now a slightly smaller Kev is back and appears to have lain to rest any doubts about his ability to battle the bulge in the big, bad world of fast food, ice cream and kitchens in general.
He has joined the Blue Team, who lost one of their members during elimination last week, and has been granted immunity from elimination this time round.
Speaking to his new teammates, he admits to having "mixed emotions" about coming back to the show, but readily jokes about his celebrity status when the ladies suggest a certain familiarity with him because of his time on TV. "You can touch me," he said, with a laugh.
But it was in the gymnasium, that the change in Big Kev became most apparent. Not only was he ready and raring, dressed in a huge blue T-shirt that could easily pass for a dress, but he spent his time pepping on his fellow challengers whilst running on the treadmill.
Even trainer Shannan Ponton was impressed.
"I think the whole of Australia fell in love with Big Kev last time but so many doubted that he would be able to do it on the outside," Ponton eagerly tells the cameras and those with enough energy to listen. "But Big Kev has proved all those detractors wrong because he did. He looks fitter, healthier and happier than I have ever seen him."
Even Moore wants to make Australia believe, telling the audience how last year's experience "dramatically" changed his life.
"Dramatically. Beyond belief. I never thought I would be able to get this point. My shoes have even dropped a size because my feet were too fat before."
And it seems to be working on 48-year-old Mary, who at 170 kilograms is now looking to her larger junior as a bit of a mentor and training buddy.
Moore it seems has a target weight of 120 kilograms.
But there is no hiding when it comes to the weigh in, with a shirtless Moore finally providing the big reveal – literally. So how much does he weigh since last being on the show?
As the audience watches Moore stride confidently to the stage, he recounts the first time he made the journey: "I was concerned I would break the scales. There was creaking and cracking under my feet. This time there wasn't so I was already happier about that."
And from his last recorded weight of 198.6kg, he has dropped 12.7kg to 185.9. Earning the town's kitty $300 for every kilo he has shed.
Now he is one of Ararat, a fellow challenger comments. Cash-for-residency anyone?
Asked what life was like before losing the weight, a "much happier" Moore replied: "There was no life. It was impossible to keep on living that way; I couldn't sit in my car without a seatbelt extension, everything was a struggle.
"I needed my partner to put on my shoes and socks."
But if viewers were looking for inspiration to lose weight it was 34-year-old "country bloke" Cameron who stole the show, after managing to continue his weight loss regime despite a dodgy ticker.
"Smash it out … because there's nothing worse than being told you can't," Cam told his team, as his eyes welled up.
So it is with a dysrhythmic heart that Cam admits that he has to leave to competition - sparing his fellow Blue teammates the axe.
Cam's medical tests have uncovered an underlying heart problem that has existed for some time, which could have caused an attack at any moment and will require further examination.
So here is the final tally:
Black Team (kg)
Craig: 170 – 165.6 (-4.4)
Jane: 111.1 – 109.4 (-1.17)
Toni: 114.7 – 111.7 (-3)
Caitlin: 124.9 – 112.2 (-2.7)
Sharon: 101.1 – 99.3 (-1.8)
Cal: 122.1 – 120.8 (-1.3)
Total lost: 19.4kg, or 2.2 per cent
Blue Team (kg)
Natalie: 111.6 – 109.1 (-2.5)
Katrina: 124.5 – 123.5 (-1)
Mary: 170.4 – 168.1 (-2.3)
Shannon: 91 – 89.1 (-1.9)
Cameron: 131.4 – 127.9 (-3.5)
Matt: 113.7 – 112.3 (-1.4)
Total lost: 12.6kg, or 1.7 per cent

March 31, 2014
Tuna noodle casserole is one of America's most popular dishes for many reasons. It is extremely convenient to make and can be made without using any fresh ingredients. If you have a can of tuna, a can of vegetables, a can of mushroom soup, and a package of noodles, dinner can be on the table in a little over 30 minutes.
In the 1950s, casseroles became very popular across the United States. Casseroles are easily frozen or refrigerated and then reheated. They are also ideal to share at potlucks and to take to others as a kind gesture.
There are numerous versions of tuna noodle casserole and for most, either you love it or you don't. The standard ingredients in most tuna casserole are the same, and it's usually topped with something crunchy like potato chips, crackers or french-fried onions.
If you're not a big fan of traditional tuna noodle casserole, there are plenty of ways to change up this simple dish to suit your taste.
Tuna Casserole with Cream Cheese
Typically tuna noodle casserole calls for a can of cream of mushroom soup, but if you'd rather not use condensed soup, Just a Pinch Recipes suggests using cream cheese instead. The result is a smooth and creamy sauce.
1 can mushroom pieces, drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
12 oz pkg large egg noodles, no-yolk variety
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cans tuna, packed in water (6.5 oz) each
1 small can peas, drained (or 1 cup frozen peas, thawed)
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
French fried onions or breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese
Sauté mushrooms, garlic, onion and green peppers in fry pan. Put aside. Cook the noodles in salted water; drain.
Melt butter in large fry pan and blend in flour. Whisk together. Add milk slowly, cooking and stirring constantly. Once sauce is thick and smooth add cream cheese and blend. Then add cooked noodles, and lastly the cans of tuna with water, peas, peppers, onion, and mushrooms combination. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour into a large 9x12 greased baking dish. Top with cheese and then sprinkle French onions or breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cajun Tuna Casserole
Instead of canned tuna Cuisine at Home's recipe uses chunks of tuna steaks mixed with bow tie pasta to create a gourmet tuna dinner.
8 oz dry farfalle (bow tie) pasta
12 oz fresh or frozen tuna steaks (thawed if frozen)
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
1 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
3 cups milk
1 jar sliced pimentos, drained (4 oz)
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
salt and black pepper to taste
For the Topping:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Cook farfalle in a pot of boiling, salted water according to package directions. Drain pasta; set aside.
Pat tuna dry with paper towels. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over both sides of steaks. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high; add tuna. Cook until tuna is blackened on both sides, about 2 minutes per side; remove tuna to a plate. When tuna is cool enough to handle, break it into chunks; set aside.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, celery, garlic, thyme, and cayenne. Cook vegetables, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Add sherry and soy sauce; cook until liquid evaporates.
Whisk in milk and bring mixture to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Stir in pimentos and Parmesan.
Combine farfalle, sauce, and tuna in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the prepared dish.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs; toast until brown, 2-3 minutes. Stir in parsley. Spread crumbs over tuna mixture in dish and bake until brown, 30 minutes. Remove casserole from oven; cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Greek Tuna Casserole
Traditional tuna casserole is made with egg noodles. Diabetic Living has come up with a healthier alternative replacing the noodles with whole wheat orzo and adding eggplant and sweet red pepper to a timeless classic.
nonstick cooking spray
1/3 cup dried whole wheat orzo pasta
1 medium eggplant, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
1 large red sweet pepper, stemmed, quartered, and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
4 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
3 (5 oz) cans very low sodium tuna (water pack), undrained, large pieces broken up
1 (9 oz) pkg frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and quartered if needed
1/2 cup ripe olives, halved
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz)
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a 1 1/2-quart au gratin dish with cooking spray; set aside. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil. Lightly coat both sides of each eggplant slice with cooking spray. Place coated eggplant slices in the prepared baking pan. Add sweet pepper quarters to pan with eggplant slices. Roast, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until eggplant begins to brown and peppers are just tender. Remove from oven; let cool. Cut eggplant and pepper pieces into 3/4-inch cubes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
For lemon dressing, in a small bowl whisk together olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the lemon peel, the lemon juice, and garlic. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the oregano, the salt, and black pepper; set aside. In another small bowl combine panko, the remaining 1 tablespoon oregano, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel; set aside.
In a large bowl combine cooked orzo, eggplant, sweet pepper, tuna, artichoke hearts, olives, and feta cheese. Stir in the lemon dressing. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake in the 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle panko mixture over top. Bake, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes more or until panko mixture is golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tuna and Shells Casserole with Crunchy Topping
What better pasta to use than shell-shaped in this Southern dish from about.com? This dish includes most of the traditional ingredients in tuna casserole plus Creole seasoning, dry sherry and layer of crushed cheese crackers on top.
1 pound medium shells or medium conchiglie
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1 1/2 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
5 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning or seasoned salt blend
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry, optional
1 1/2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
2 cups (8 oz) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
2 cans (6 to 7 oz each) white tuna in water, drained, or use oil-packed light tuna, drained
1 cup frozen green peas, cooked
1 cup small cheese crackers
Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta following package directions; drain, rinse, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add celery and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in flour, seasoning, and pepper until well blended and bubbly. Stir in the chicken broth and sherry. Bring to a simmer and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and about 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Continue cooking until the mixture begins to simmer again and cheese has melted. Break tuna up and stir into the sauce along with the peas. Combine the sauce mixture with the drained pasta. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Crush the crackers and combine with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Sprinkle over the casserole and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned.
Serves 6 to 8
Tuna Pie With Biscuit Topping
For something totally different, top tuna and hard boiled eggs with cheesy biscuits. Creamy tuna underneath and hot biscuits on top will bring comfort food to a whole new level.
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups milk
1 can (7 oz) tuna, drained
1 teaspoon chopped pimiento
1 can (4 oz) mushrooms, sliced and drained
2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
1 teaspoon minced onions
Cheese Biscuits:
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
Melt butter in saucepan; add flour and salt, mixing well. Add milk slowly; bring to boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Pour into a 2-quart casserole. Arrange cheese biscuits on top.
Cheese Biscuits:
Sift dry ingredients together into a bowl; cut in shortening. Add grated cheese. Add milk, stirring with a fork until all flour is moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured cloth-covered board and knead gently for 20 seconds. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with lightly floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on top of hot tuna mixture in casserole dish. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8
Tuna Rice Casserole
In this game changer recipe, rice takes the place of egg noodles and the addition of a touch of cayenne pepper adds a little something extra to this classic recipe.
1/4 cup butter, divided
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper
1 can (9 to 12 ounces) white tuna, drained and flaked
2 cups hot cooked rice
1/2 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided
1/3 cup cracker crumbs or fine dry bread crumbs
Heat butter over low heat; sauté mushrooms, celery, and chopped onion. Blend in flour; remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk. Add salt and cayenne pepper; return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
In a bowl, combine tuna with the cooked rice and all but 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese. Add the sauce mixture and gently mix. Turn rice and tuna mixture into a 2-quart casserole. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; toss with the cracker crumbs of bread crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs and remaining cheese over casserole. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
Serves 6

I'm learning python and perl and i was trying to run from python a perl script using the subprocess module.
I have an issue that i don't understand regarding this.
I run this code:
- Code: Select all
import subprocess
p2 = subprocess.Popen(["grep", "print", "first.pl"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output2 = p2.communicate()[0]
print output2
p1 = subprocess.Popen(["perl","first.pl"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output1 = p1.comunicate()[0]
print output1
First part : run grep, works as expected, i can get the ouput and display it.
The second one, when i actually want to run the perl script and get the output throws me an error :
- Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 9, in ?
output1 = p1.comunicate()[0]
AttributeError: 'Popen' object has no attribute 'comunicate'
I don't understand why this happens since the code is similar. Can someone enlight me?

Great cycling shoe
By Loonacy
from Southern Indiana
I bought these at a LBS, and a good thing I did. I normally wear a 8.5 but I needed a size 10. Other than that these shoes are very comfortable. I use them on my road bike and I have no complaints or regrets. I liked that they have laces because velcro eventually wears out. Although I did try using speed laces but they didn't get the shoe nearly tight enough. Overall these are excellent shoes just try on a pair at a LBS before you order so you can ensure you get the correct size.
great shoes!!
By goya
from orlando, fl
I am an indoor cycling instructor and needed it new shoes and decided to give it a try, read the reviews and went one size bigger, it was a good choice, they run small. They are easy to walk around after the class. Highly recomend this shoes for indoor cycling. I use diferent shoes for my road bicycle.
my first cycleing shoe
By jfdubu
from Providence , RI
Bought these in the largest size for my size 10 feet, great fit very comforable. Use them on my road hybred and my mountain bike. Didn't think I would like clip-ins vs my old toe baskets but I was wrong. great shoes.
Great casual MTB shoe
By Rockweiler
from NYC
A good pair of well-made shoes for commuting and mountain-biking when you're not racing. The shoe is a little narrow perhaps, and as others have stated, order at least one size up. Overall this makes for a snug shoe. Usefully, you can walk - and at push run - in the shoes no problem at all, without the clickety clack of other SPD shoes.Note: The shoe is black, not the grey in the picture (unless my eyesight is deficient) but the laces are grey. This might offend some people's sensibilities.Also note: No spd cleats supplied (for folks who are expecting the shoes to come with these).

A visit this week from a four-member delegation from China's
legal community resulted in a lively exchange among the delegates,
interpreters and MBA officers and staff at the MBA's Boston
Tuesday's two-hour meeting was a fast-paced exchange on the topics
of CLE, ethics, lobbying efforts, community outreach and MBA
operations, to name a few.
"We quickly developed an easy rapport with our colleagues from
China. No topics seemed to be off limits as we covered questions
and answers in a very honest and open manner," said MBA President
Edward W. McIntyre.
McIntyre was joined by fellow officers Denise Squillante, Marsha
Kazarosian and Douglas K. Sheff, as well as MBA Director of
Membership and Programs Lisa A. Ferrara and Senior Program Manager
Marc D'Antonio.
The delegates from the People's Republic of China were invited to
the United States under the auspices of the Department of State's
International Visitor Leadership Program. The Boston leg of their
visit was arranged by WorldBoston.
Following the meeting, WorldBoston President and CEO Bill
Clifford, who was also present, described the meeting as one of
most engaging he has sat in on. "This proved to be very lively and
informative," said Clifford.
The MBA welcomes the opportunity for such meetings with foreign
delegations. Other delegations hosted by the MBA in recent years
include those from Japan and Iraq.

A new survey asking residents how they would like to receive information about key services has been launched by Sutton Council.
Advice on who is eligible for social housing, what childcare services are available and who can help with caring for an elderly relative are just some of the issues forming part of the review into the authority's information services.
The survey will look at services provided by the council as well as those commissioned to outside organisations.
Councillor Simon Wales, lead member for finance, assets and the voluntary sector, said: "We want to ensure that all residents can access information and advice when they need to and in ways that suit them.
"Whether it's advice about dealing with debt, finding social housing or accessing healthcare, it's important that residents know where to go and that they are given the support they need.
"I hope that as many residents as possible will take part in this survey and give us their feedback so that we can improve the services provided by both the council and our partners."

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) House of Delegates (HOD) will meet July 14-15 in St. Louis, Mo., to consider several resolutions and amendments, including some that focus on the role the association plays internationally.
One of the resolutions, Resolution 5, deals with the accreditation of foreign veterinary schools. Also on the HOD's agenda is Resolution 6, which calls for a review of the association's global initiatives.
"As veterinary communities around the world continue to call on the AVMA for leadership, it's important for our governing bodies to review the AVMA's policies and come to an agreement on how we should proceed," explains Dr. Ron DeHaven, chief executive officer of the AVMA. "To this end, HOD members will discuss and decide if there is a need to create task forces to analyze the issues of globalization and foreign accreditation."
Starting in the 1940s, the AVMA Council on Education (COE) has accredited 16 foreign schools, including five in Canada. The resolution notes that 11 of the 16 accredited schools have been accredited since 1998. This year, the AVMA-COE accredited National Autonomous University of Mexico School of Veterinary Medicine in Mexico City and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts, West Indies.
The HOD also will be voting on important internal matters, such as the relationship between the HOD and the AVMA Executive Board, the association's two governing bodies. The HOD will consider Bylaws Amendment 11, which would require the Executive Board to send policy changes that relate to veterinary medicine to the HOD for its consideration. In addition, Resolution 8, recommends the creation of a task force to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the role of the House of Delegates.
The AVMA Annual Convention is being held at America's Center in downtown St. Louis from July 16-19. For more information, please visit www.avma.org, or www.avmaconvention.org.

• velleity •
Pronunciation: vê-lee-ê-tee • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: The slightest hint of a desire or wish, an inclination.
Notes: Today's Good Word is yet another lexical orphan, a word without any derivational family. We do find copies of it in all the Romance languages: Italian velleità, Spanish veleidad, and Portuguese veleidade.
In Play: Remember, a velleity is only the hint of a wish or desire: "I don't have the faintest velleity to go out with Clara Sill, let alone marry her." Velleities abound in higher places: "Congress doesn't seem to have the slightest velleity to get to work on the nation's problems."
Word History: Today's Good Word was borrowed from Latin velleitas, a derivation of velle "to wish, want". It comes from the Proto-Indo-European root, wel-/wol- "wish, will", which had two forms for reasons that remain mysterious. Anyway, both developed in German as wollen "to want", but ich will "I want". Only the one with the E arrived in Old English and resulted in will in all its various senses. The PIE word came to Latin, too, in both forms. The O-form ended up in voluntarius "voluntary, freely desiring", voluptuosus "bringing pleasure, the desirous", and malevolen(t)s "malevolent, ill-wishing"—all of which were borrowed by English, either directly or via French. (We have much more than a velleity to thank Roger A. Meyer for thinking of alphaDictionary when he came across today's very Good Word.)

PEARLAND, Texas - A woman was rushed to a hospital after she crashed her car during a police chase, investigators said.
Pearland police said an officer tried to pull over a female driver in the 8300 block of West Broadway about 12:40 p.m. Friday on suspicion of running a red light.
The woman stopped briefly and then took off, investigators said.
Police said the woman led them south on Cullen, east on Fite and south on F.M. 1128.
The woman pulled into a school parking lot and then went back onto Fite Road, officials said. Shortly after she passed Cullen, the woman ended up on a dirt road and she crashed into a ditch, police said.
When officers got to the woman, she was not wearing a seat belt. Detectives said she was taken to a hospital with facial injuries and a broken leg.
The woman will face a charge of evading arrest. Investigators have not released her name or said why she fled from officers.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/4/2011 (2334 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you're following the flood in Winnipeg this spring, you may be wondering why the city makes such a big deal about some guy named James.
Thanks to a quirk of history, the city's shorthand for the height of the Red River happens to be the "number of feet James." Unfortunately for circuses everywhere, this is not a question about a man with too many appendages.
James actually refers to the James Avenue Pumping Station, a facility on the west bank of the Red River in the Exchange District. For nearly a century, this site has been used to monitor river levels.
Originally, this data determined the operation of the St. Andrews Lock and Dam at Lockport.
Measurements were live human beings and the station was staffed 24 hours a day.
Now, the James Avenue station operates automatically. It's basically just a culvert with an electronic water-pressure gauge that transmits river-level data every 15 minutes.
The city uses feet instead of metres to express this information, mainly for the sake of consistency. The "number of feet James" is also easier to digest than the number of feet above sea level, a far bigger number.
Review the milestones on the following scale to see where we stand.
Zero feet James: This is the famous "normal winter ice level" in Winnipeg -- 727.6 feet (or 221.7 metres) above sea level. This level is an average of mid-winter measurements at James Avenue dating back to 1912. The actual river ice level varies from year to year.
6.5 feet James: The average summer river level in Winnipeg, again based on measurements taken over the past century. St. Andrews Lock and Dam maintains this level during years when the Red River would otherwise drop even lower.
8.5 feet James: The level of the Assiniboine Riverwalk. In 1992, the walkways around The Forks were built at this level, which only wound up under water 15 times during the previous 78 summers. Since its construction, the river walk has been submerged during 16 out of the 19 ensuing summers. Officials at The Forks acknowledge that's not convenient, but there was no way to predict the changing precipitation patterns in the Red River Valley.
18 feet James: While river levels above 15 feet are recorded as floods on the city's website, the city is in de facto flood mode at 18 feet James. River levels of 18 feet or higher require significant flood-mitigation efforts, such as sealing up drainage gates or sandbagging low-lying homes.
20.2 feet James: The peak of the 2005 summer flood. The Red River crested on July 3 and 4 due to unusual rains over the Canada Day weekend.
20.4 feet James: The peak of the 2006 spring flood, when the Red crested on April 7. At the time, this was the largest flood in the Red River Valley since the Flood of the Century in 1997.
22.6 feet James: The peak of the 2009 spring flood, which confounded flood forecasters who initially predicted a milder spring deluge. Ice jams downstream created two smaller crests before the Red finally peaked on April 15.
24.5 feet James: The peak of the Flood of the Century. The Red River crested on May 3, to the relief of Winnipeggers who watched the same deluge destroy downtown Grand Forks, N.D. and inundate Ste. Agathe.
30.3 feet James: The peak of the 1950 flood, the most destructive disaster in Winnipeg's history. The Red crested on May 19 and did not recede below the flood stage until mid-June of that year. The flood forced 100,000 people to evacuate and caused $600 million in damage, in Winnipeg alone.
34.7 feet James: Estimated peak of the 1852 spring flood in what was then the Red River settlement.
36.5 feet James: Estimated peak of the 1826 spring flood, believed to be the worst since the establishment of the Red River settlement. The flood sent settlers scurrying to high ground at Stony Mountain and Birds Hill.

"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"
"These turned out fabulous. My wedding planner offered me save the dates at $3,000, and these were a tenth of the price and look even better! I upgraded to the higher quality paper and envelopes, but that's it! Everyone loves them and I'm getting compliments on the design. Cheers to our photographer for great photos, but these blew out my expectations."
"My fiancé and I chose this card for our save the date as it was something a little different. I originally chose the matte finish, bracket outline and one photo on the back. I also checked the option for a designer to review prior to printing and mailing. We got the cards and my fiances hair was cut out of the bracket and the matte finish made it very ordinary and felt weird. Wedding paper divas were amazing to fix the situation. They promptly changed the finish to pearl shimmer and ensured he fit perfectly into the photo and rushed my order. Make sure you choose pearl shimmer for a more luxe look and feel. We ordered the antique gold envelopes which are great quality however even a sharpie doesn't write well in them--- order a more plain envelope if you're worried about it. We just loveeee our save the date and have gotten amazing compliments! We will order our invites from this amazing company!"
"I paid extra to have them shipped within 7-10 business days- and received them in two business days! I sent my original draft on a Saturday- finalized their draft (as they completed all my special instructions) on a SUNDAY- (yes- they actually worked on it on Sunday!) And they were on my doorstep by Tuesday! Not even technically due for another 6-8 days! Next time I may not have to rush order as they clearly don't sit on work- but instead get it done! Super Accommodating! Super Quick! Super Satisfied! Will use them again! Shopping now for my invites! - TaraMichelle"

Did you know?
Apart from the Big Five, Thornybush boasts 140 species of mammals and nearly 500 bird species.
As the early morning bird chorus starts to reach a chirruping crescendo, there's a discreet knock at your door – the Thornybush Private Game Reserve wake-up call.
You dress quickly, pulling on your khakis, grabbing your binoculars and bird book. It's that magical time just before the dawn and the wild animals are stirring. A cup of coffee and a rusk (a kind of South African biscotti on steroids) and you're on your way. The air is sweet and fresh.
You'll be unlucky if you don't see a few if not all members of the Big Five, but if not, the sheer experience of being out in the wild, seeing leopard tracks, colourful birds, encountering graceful antelope, giraffe, comical warthogs and zebras is a treat in itself.
Back for a superb breakfast on the deck, then if you'd like to walk it off, there's the option of a bush walk with the ranger.
A blissful light lunch, a peaceful facial, massage or swim (or maybe just a nap), then it's time to gather your binoculars, bush hat and a warm jacket for the afternoon game experience. You're right next to the unfenced border with Kruger National Park, so the game viewing is excellent.
Just before dusk, your ranger will stop so you can admire the view and have a sundowner with a few South African snacks.
Then it's the chance of the night animals. A spotlight might reveal a genet cat, an owl, a nightjar blinking in the road, or a pride of lions on the hunt. Perhaps a leopard.
Back at Thornybush, supper is always something of an event, with excellent food and the best South African wines.
And then, back in your luxury chalet, you'll find a sweet surprise on your pillow before you fall asleep between fine linen sheets, listening to the plaintive yelp of a jackal in the distance.

How to get here
You could fly to Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, which has two daily flights from Johannesburg. From there, Thornybush will organise a 30-minute transfer to the lodge. If you're driving from Johannesburg, the journey will take around six hours. Take the N12 eastwards, which eventually becomes the N4. About 60km from Middelburg, take the R540 to your left and drive through the towns of Belfast, Dullstroom and Lydenburg. Take the R36 to Hoedspruit. From there, turn right towards Bushbuckridge, past Eastgate Airport and onto the Guernsey road. Follow the signs from there.
Best time to visit
The bushveld is splendid in spring and early summer − around September to November. There are plenty of baby animals and it's not too hot. From April to August is also agreeable because winter temperatures cool the subtropical heat. That said, Thornybush is lovely at any time of the year.
Around the area
Since you're very close, why not visit the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and/or the world-famous Kruger National Park?
Length of stay
A rushed visit to the bush is never satisfying. Set aside three nights to give yourself a chance to see all the sights and enjoy the facilities.
Where to stay
You can choose between the luxury suites or the family suites.
What's happening
Don't miss the splendid spa facilities.

30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; 31for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again. 32But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
33 Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, What were you arguing about on the way? 34But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all. 36Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/12/2012 (1717 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You may have heard of the movie The Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey. In it, the main character's life is terrible until he goes to this mysterious conference where a man preaches the power of yes. Once the Carrey character started saying yes to everything, his lousy life turned around.
There has been quite the chatter around the interweb about the power of yes lately. Many business moguls have been using the power of yes and praising the concept.
This is how Judy Kinney, a life coach in Seattle, describes it:
"Yes and no rule the universe! Why can I make such a bold statement? Because! Whether consciously or not, you move through life constantly expressing "I like this, not that" or "I agree or don't agree." To master the power of yes and no, you need to incorporate two concepts into your life. Universal energy ONLY speaks in the word yes. That's right, she only knows how to agree with you! Yes and no are equally effective energies to use to create and enjoy your desires. Are you tapped in to the magic of yes and no so that you move through life with passionate grace?"
Sorry, Kinney, but I disagree with you. I personally believe the power of yes is extremely powerless. Saying yes to everything is impossible. I am talking about the power of yes in a business context, not in the context of everyday life.
In business, especially as an entrepreneur, saying yes to everything holds you accountable and allows you to wear a lot of hats. Although your goal may be to diversify and to be involved in as many opportunities as you can, spreading yourself thin and not being able to give your full 110 per cent effort benefits no one. I hate it when people say yes to something, and then, two days before the due date they say, "oh, I've been really busy lately and haven't been able to get around to it. I'll try to get it done as soon as possible."
No! I don't want you to get it done as soon as possible, I want you to execute the task to the best of your ability and not commit to so many other things that you cannot fulfil your promise.
Being a yes-man may sound good at first, but committing to too many tasks and projects all at once is a bad idea because you most likely will not be able to execute them all to the best of your ability and may jeopardize your reputation in your field.
Gary Vaynerchuck, a social media expert and prominent author, made a video recently talking about the power of no. At first it appeared to be quite peculiar, but his message started to make sense halfway through. If you say no to people, it is a quite respectable statement. A guy who says yes to everything is not someone I would want to work with. Having a person who knows his/her abilities, and only does what they know they can do is a very respectable quality.
I'd like to challenge that entire yes-and-no BS and introduce the power of ask.
"Hey, how are you?" Something as simple as that can turn someone's day around and make them feel involved and welcome. When I first joined the Winnipeg Squash Club, I walked in and everybody was incredibly nice and wanted to know how my day was going. I felt extremely flattered.
Now, I realize throughout this article, I've been discussing the power of no and yes in a business context, and I'm referring to the ask concept in more of a relational setting. But the power of ask can be immediately used in business, too.
When someone asks me to do something, I feel valued because that person requires my skill and expertise. It is always nice to be recognized for what you do and feel wanted by peers or co-workers.
Same thing applies even in a club setting. Ask that girl to dance; ask to buy her a drink. Ask has the connotation of flattery behind it. It's powerful. Use it when appropriate, say no when you need to, and don't be that agreeing yes-man.

Everything works perfect other than when the browser is <1000px. I want the sections in the order listed below instead (but keep 1000px+ the same):
Also, I want it to default to the <1000px version if for example media queries is not supported. I suppose that means laying it out like the <1000px one and having CSS change it to fit the 1000px+ one, but I haven't changed it around yet as I want to see any advice first. I can change it around if that helps.
You can't reorder the order of the HTML elements with media queries. You could fake it, but it's asking for trouble, as you'd need to position things, which is never a very good idea for page layout, as it would introduce all sorts of problems.
Not yet flexbox is hard-core and one of the things it can do is precisely that.
I have sometimes shuffled the order of elements around to make the display better on mobile, but it should be graceful. Like Ralph is saying, don't resort to positioning things with absolute or excessive negative margins. You'll just get into trouble. Be prepared to make a few compromises and make the best you can but don't get too concerned over order.
Ok, thanks. looks like I need to change my requirements. However, I guess I could move elements around in some way. The example I posted starts with the left nav at the bottom and that moves up to the left of the content.
How about if by default we had this:
...and if 1000px+ it moved to this:
... I think that could be possible??
Looks difficult to me. Swapping the order of elements like that is asking for trouble, if you ask me.
flexbox is hard-core and one of the things it can do is precisely that.
Heh heh, can't wait to see how Microsoft will mess that one up. :shifty:
The problem is I can't just leave this, so is there a way to slightly change my requirements but be able to achieve this?
As I mentioned, the example has a left-nav which starts below the content and then the left-nav moves up level to the left of the content, so this kind of method and changing my requirements is fine.
There must be a way to maybe meet half way with my requirements and keeping it graceful??
Ok, how about if I could just allow everything to flow as normal and just pull out one div box/section and stick it at the bottom?
Is that possible? How about absolute positioning? Or would that just stick it to the bottom of the page?
Yes, that's what you'd probably have to use, but it's messy and probably will have a lot of problems on various devices. (Lotsa pain and not much gain, I'm afraid.)
Thanks Ralph,
I have played around and come up with this:
What about this? It seems ok to me.
Is there anything you can see that could cause me problems?
Can you improve on this code?
Thanks again for the excellent advice.
Hi ralph.m,
Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
It seems fine to me, but I don't have the experience you do so just wondering if anything is going to cause me problems in the future doing something like this?
It seems to work OK as is, so well done. The thing to do is to test it in as many environments to make sure it doesn't break. I guess the other question would be what's going to happen when you add more to the page, so the main thing is to keep testing as you go.
The content will overlap if you have more than 60px worth of content because you have moved the top-nav to the top with absolute positioning and moved the other content away with a margin to match that height.
Your demo is already overlapping with the content that you have added which is over 60px in height. You can't really use that method if you want fluid height containers but would be ok for a fixed height topnav.
You can change left and right columns easily and you can even move the footer to the top and still have fluid content but you can't move an element that is between two others to be at the top or the bottom and still have fluid content in each.
I put up an old demo here that shows nearly all the combinations you can do with floats so if the design isn't in this list then it probably is not possible. (The js just swaps a class in the body so that the different styles will be applied and is not needed for a real layout).
This second example shows how to move the footer from the bottom to the top and both still have fluid content (this is a solution from a previous css quiz that I set and was deemed impossible before).
Thanks Paul,
I've managed to use a combination of different advice to achieve sort of what I wanted. I did find some issues with the example I posted and I've now managed to get something completed which works well after a decent amount of testing (but not quite what I was looking for).
Thanks, and thanks for the demos.

- "Only one who has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, would commit such a crime. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something so pure and defenceless to save yourself, you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips."
- —Firenze to Harry Potter[src]
The unicorn is a white, equine creature with a single horn on its forehead.
Physiology and life cycleEdit
Unicorn foals are born pure gold in colour. They remain so until they are about two years old, at which time they turn silver in colour. At around four-years-old their horn grows in. They are fully grown at about seven years old, at which at this age they turn a shade of pure white that is so bright that it makes freshly fallen snow look grey in comparison. Their hooves are golden, (remaining so from their gold stage, (the first two years of their life)), and their blood is silver-blue in colour and shines under the moonlight. It is not mentioned how long a Unicorn can live for.
Unicorns inhabit the forests of Europe, including the Forbidden Forest by Hogwarts.
Interaction with humansEdit
Unicorns prefer a woman's touch, but the young ones are more trusting and do not mind men as much. Unicorns are also so fleet-of-hoof that they can rarely be caught by humans.
Various parts of the Unicorn - the horn and tail hair in particular - are used in potions. Unicorn hair in general is used for the cores of wands. The tail hair can also be used as binding in bandages due to its incredible strength.[1] The blood of a unicorn can be used to keep a person who is near death alive, but "you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips."[2]
The unicorn's single straight horn is used, in runic, to symbolise the number one.[3]
At least two unicorns were slain by Quirinus Quirrell so Lord Voldemort could drink their blood and return to power. Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and Fang found the corpse of one of them in the Forbidden Forest.
In 1995, fourth year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry studied unicorns in their Care of Magical Creatures class, while Professor Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank was standing in for Hagrid.[4]
Behind the scenesEdit
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Voldemort tries to sneak up on the unicorn with a knife and fork, but is scared off by Firenze who shows him his fist. Hagrid then proceeds to care for the sick unicorn like a child.
- Unicorns are capable of moving faster than werewolves. During the detention in the Forbidden Forest in 1992, Harry asked if a werewolf could be killing the unicorns and Hagrid replied that they're not fast enough.[2]

A rapid, accurate, efficient product tracing system can help save lives and protect industries from financial ruin. The ability to trace products must exist throughout supply chains, not just within individual firms. However, the first step in creating a system-wide tracing system is ensuring that your company is identifying, capturing, and sharing the correct information about products.
GS1 US and IFT have collaborated to build a program for food safety and supply chain professionals working in the food industry to aid in developing their traceability programs. Two prerequisite webcasts (February 15 and March 15) will provide participants with foundational knowledge regarding how critical tracking events (CTEs) are identified, the types of data that need to be collected at each CTE, and how GS1 standards can be used to identify and capture data, as well as share it with supply chain partners. This knowledge will provide participants with the skills needed to prepare sketches of their supply chains, with proposed CTEs and KDEs identified, prior to attending the workshop. Registrants will receive additional instructions regarding prework (expected to take 1-2 hours) approximately three weeks before the workshop.
During the workshop, participants will use the workbook provided to refine their designation of CTEs, specify the types of data to be collected at each CTE, and understand which GS1 standards can be used to identify these data. Participants will interact with their food safety and supply chain colleagues to discuss product and process specific challenges and identify potential solutions.
Finally, participants will be provided with a step-wise approach to implementing a product tracing plan within their company, and will be equipped with the tools to convince their supply chain partners to make the same commitment to this important aspect of a food safety system.
Registration for this workshop includes registration for both the live and on-demand versions of the February 15 and March 15 webcasts. These products will appear on the final payment screen with a charge of $0.
