Oregon Earthquakes
From: Mail Tribune
After studying everything from “ghost forests” submerged after a tsunami to undersea landslides, scientists have determined that 40 earthquakes magnitude 8 or larger have struck Western Oregon in the past 10,000 years.
“And they found that 75 percent of those have happened less than 310 years apart on the average,” Roddey said. “That suggests we are due, and due sooner rather than later.”
Glenn Beck’s reaction on his new book being outsold on Amazon on it’s first day
“…Our books are ALWAYS #1. And I find it REALLY fascinating, FASCINATING, that if you go to Amazon.com, Broke is number THREE… And then, the #1 book—TODAY at least—is Machine of Death. And it’s collected stories about, you know, people who know how they’re gonna die. Haowww! … This is the left, I think, speaking. This is the left. You want to talk about where we’re headed? We’re headed towards a culture of death. A culture that, um, celebrates the things that have destroyed us.”
—Glenn Beck, upset that some bootstrapping entrepreneurs bumped his book from #1 on its release day. The Glenn Beck Radio Program, October 27, 2010
For those curious, the book that out sold him: Machine of Death:A collection of stories about people who know how they will die

“Can’t Upload Image, directory missing” in WordPress
“Can’t Upload Image, directory missing” message comes up in WordPress when the uploads directory is missing. In older versions of WordPress, or in a one click install from a company such as DreamHost, the entire path was coded into the WordPress settings.
To fix in WP versions below 3.0:
1.) Login to Admin Control Panel
2.) Go to Settings
3.) Go to Miscellaneous
4.) Change the field: “Store uploads in this folder” to the short, correct path: wp-content/uploads
To fix in WP versions 3.0 and above:
