It seems like a lifetime since Jackson Fourgeaud aka Jackson and His Computerband was introduced to the world through a haze of blue bubbles. Eight years to be precise, and whilst his existence may have been forgotten by some, then not so the wise men and women at Warp Records HQ who have - seemingly for the thousandth time this year - reached into the past and brought forth fresh offerings.
Glow as a whole is an album as confused as it is diverse, playing chronological Twister with one foot in mid-Noughties LOUD NOISES French house, another in the idiosyncratic IDM of his debut, a hand in contemporary stadium dubstep, with a final limb grasping vainly in the direction of Seventies psychedelia. Like any game of Twister, it is at times fun, at others awkwardly painful and at breaking point finally collapses into a pile of gratuitous groping, which was the whole point anyway.
It begins with 'Blow', where Fourgeaud seems to have enlisted the help of the Electric Light Orchestra and told the drummer to really go for it, demonstrating his love of vocal harmonies while giving a hint towards the distinctly rocky sound with which he is newly enamored. The placement of the following track 'Seal' feels like a reassurance to fans of his earlier work, showcasing the glitchy electronics for which he was famed and growing into a reverb-laden sweep, epic in scale.
'Dead Living Things' sees a return to an ELO-inspired sound with ever so slightly annoying female vocals singing clichés about gold being dead and power hunger hungry people with miniature souls. 'G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up)' embraces the maximalist feel of most of the album and is the most obvious demonstration of how Fourgeaud seems to have 'done a Trentemoller', by taking his sound and unnecessarily rocking it up. It brings to mind images of self-congratulatory session musicians, hairspray and far too much strobe lighting, particularly with the crescendo of a chorus detailing how much he could give to poor old G.I. Jane.
If the album doesn't sound too promising by this point, then fear not, as 'G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up)' proves to be the nadir as the record stutteringly improves. Whilst 'Blood Bust' sounds like a Vitalic cast-off - fun in a club but a relentless jack-hammer of a song elsewhere - 'Orgysteria' and 'Memory' provide a soothing respite on either side. The former having been cut from the same cloth as 'Utopia', features the same dreamy vocal harmonies, with meaty basslines joining in with melodramatic and haunting piano riffs.
'Memory' is a dreamy and sad pop song lamenting an old relationship where no memories remain, and whilst grammatically suspect in places (I'm still not sure how you "make sex", but it does sound intriguing) is nevertheless a pleasant interlude. From here on the floundering between genres and the confused smorgasbord of sound finally begin to blend, losing its bi-polar nature and morphing into a finale that is accomplished and worthy of the eight-year wait.
'Arp #1', 'More', 'Vista' and to a lesser extent 'Billy' are as good as Glow gets. 'More' begins with wistful melody and echoey clipped vocals, before first a beat, then a twanging funk bassline are layered atop and the vocals unravel from their garage clippings into fully formed pop. 'Vista', the lead single, features dreamy vocals with an arpeggiated melody floating in the background before out of nowhere a huge helping of bass fuzz arrives. It switches between heavy dubstep and a wistful melody smoothly, with each subsection of the song getting its time in the sun.
'Billy' has the punchy stadium rock feel of the first half of the album, but instead of hitting you in the face, it takes a back seat, as emphasis is instead placed on the both threatening and melancholic melody, the track held together by piano chords distinct from the surrounding fuzz.
Glow, then, is generally a mixed bag, gothic, cinematic and made for large spaces and big stages. Subtlety is somewhat lacking, and whilst that cheapens the album slightly in tracks like 'G.I. Jane' and 'Blood Bust', in others such as 'Arp #1' and 'Vista' it has the opposite effect. Overall, you can feel how this has been geared towards its live performance, with Jackson stating, 'the live show opens a territory of everlasting changes and real time communion with the audience. My Computerband is now fully alive'. I only wish that in parts, it had stayed a bit more dead.

How thoroughly have you thought about your website? Have you considered every aspect of what makes a website successful? Sometimes companies concentrate so much on one aspect of web design, content or technology that they neglect other important factors.
The building blocks of a successful website can differ depending on your point of view. Best practices in one frame of reference may conflict with what is considered best practices in another. Like the tale of Six Blind Men and an Elephant, a web design can appear in different ways to different people. The concerns of one expert may support those of another, or they may conflict. It's worth the time to step back and look at how your website looks in the eyes of different disciplines, with the realization that what works best in one practice area may compromise results in another. Try looking at your website through the eyes of a:
- Usability expert
- Information architect
- Brand strategist
- Graphic designer
- Web developer
- Copy writer
- Marketing director
- Advertising sales manager
- Business development director
- SEO consultant
- Social media consultant
- Content manager
The questions asked by each of these specialists, experts in their own disciplines, demonstrate why building a successful website can be a complex process.
A usability expert may be concerned with the following:
- Is it obvious what is a link and what is not?
- Is it clear where every link will lead?
- Can the users find what they are looking for?
- Can the user accomplish a task efficiently?
- How fast does the page load?
An information architect will be looking at the overall structure of the site, especially for sites with a lot of content. Questions an information architect might ask include:
- Does the website have a logical taxonomy (i.e., system of categories and sub-categories)?
- Does the navigation reflect the taxonomy?
- Is content sorted according to this taxonomy?
- Are relationships between different types of content clear?
The brand manager for the company or product promoted by the website may have a different point of view. The brand manager will be looking at whether the website is consistent with the brand:
- Does the website conform to the brand style guidelines regarding color, typeface, and imagery?
- Is the logo prominent?
- Is the copy consistent with our brand messaging?
- Does the design of the website evoke the feeling that we want our brand to evoke: e.g., security or fun or quality or value?
The graphic designer will be concerned with a layout that is clear and logical, an attractive color scheme, and typestyles that are set in a hierarchy that clarifies the relative importance of the content. The graphic designer will want the design to be visually interesting, and will be cognizant of the subconscious associations that are evoked by different colors, typestyles, images and textures. The graphic designer will ask:
- Is the content laid out clearly, in a logical flow, with the most important elements being more prominent than the less important elements?
- Are elements grouped together logically?
- Is it visually interesting?
- Does the design evoke the proper emotion, e.g. calm or edgy or classic or funky?
- Does the design evoke the proper era? Is it contemporary? Retro? Timeless? Or is it the look that was really cool 10 years ago?
The web developer will be looking under the hood at what makes the site run. Questions the developer might ask include:
- Is it a standards-compliant website?
- Does it work on all major browsers?
- Is the width optimal for the screen sizes that are most used today?
- Is it accessible to people with disabilities? On a mobile phone?
- Is the code error-free? Commented?
- Is there a separate cascading style sheet?
- Is it a database-driven website?
The copywriter is going to be concerned with the meaning and voice of the language on the website.
- Is there a hook right at the beginning to compel the reader to read more?
- Is the copy persuasive? Informative? Amusing?
- Is the copy succinct? The point clear?
- Are the grammar, spelling and punctuation correct?
The marketing director will want to know if the copy is supporting the marketing goals of the company—encouraging purchases, getting people to pick up the phone or fill out a form for more information. The marketing director will be focused on how the website performs as an engine for generating business.
- Is there a compelling offer?
- Is there a clear call to action?
- Is the website generating leads or direct sales?
- Is there a way to track and nurture the leads?
- Are we capturing email addresses or phone numbers? Demographic information?
- Can people sign up for a newsletter?
- Do we know how people are finding the website? Who they are, where they go, what they look at?
The advertising sales manager—on sites that sell advertising, that is—will be interested in the websites attractiveness to advertisers. The ad sales team will want to know:
- How many unique visitors come to our website every day?
- What pages of the website do people visit? What are they looking for? What do they look at?
- What spaces are available on each page for selling advertising? Are those spaces prominent? What sizes can the ads be? Do they conform to IAB specifications?
- Will the website support Google AdSense?
- What is the clickthrough rate on ads?
- Are both graphic and text ads available? How about pop-up ads?
- Are there opportunities for sponsors to submit content?
The business development director's concerns may be similar to the marketing director or advertising sales manager. Business development may also involve partners or investors whose contributions need to be reflected on the website. So a business development director may want to know:
- Is there a prominent place for the logos of our major partners and investors?
- Is there a place to feature content about our partners and investors?
- Can our site drive traffic to our partners?
- Is there a place on the site to invite companies to invest in us or partner with us?
The Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Consultant will be primarily concerned with how people find your website using Google, Bing, or other search engines. The SEO Consultant will want to know:
- What keyword phrases should the site be optimized for?
- What are the Google results for those keyword phrases?
- What "long-tail keywords" can we rank for?
- Do the keyword phrases appear in the page titles, H1 tags, image alt tags, meta description and content?
- Is all the copy actual html text rather than graphics of text?
- Is each page optimized for a different keyword phrase?
- Are the page title and meta description the optimal length?
- Is there a blog, or another strategy for ongoing content publishing?
- Are there a lot of high-quality inbound links?
The Social Media Consultant will be less concerned with the website itself and more concerned with how your website interacts with social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon and Digg, and whether people can follow, share, and subscribe to your content. The Social Media Consultant will want to know how you interact with your readers and followers across platforms, as well as how you interact with others in your networks and on others' blogs and forums. The Social Media Consultant may ask:
- Are there links to follow you on Facebook and Twitter? To connect with you on LinkedIn?
- Is there an RSS feed to subscribe to your blog?
- How many followers and subscribers do your accounts have?
- Does your Facebook page have unique content, or is it just a rehash of your website?
- Is there a plan to regularly publish content to your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
- Is there an easy way for you to push new content out to Facebook, Twitter, and social bookmarking sites?
- Is there a way for users to share content via social networks, social bookmarking sites, and email?
- Are there automatic tools, as well as regular moderation, to prevent spam comments?
- Is there a plan and a published policy in place to moderate comments to prevent hijacking, irrelevance, and flame wars, as well as to respond to inquiries and legitimate criticism?
- Do key executives and staff have complete profiles on LinkedIn?
- Do key executives and staff participate regularly in industry forums and LinkedIn groups? Do they blog and respond to comments?
The Content Manager is responsible for what gets published, by whom, according to what schedule. The Content Manager will be be interested not only in the technical details of the platform used for publishing content, but also the workflow between writers and other content providers, editors and publishers, and the overall editorial calendar. The Content Manager will want to know:
- What Content Management System (CMS) is the website built on?
- Is the CMS easy to use for people who are not technically savvy?
- Are there multiple levels of access and approval, e.g., writer, editor and publisher? What are the criteria for approval and publishing?
- Is there an editorial calendar? How far in advance is it developed? Is there a need to change/interrupt the calendar for breaking news and unexpected events?
- Will all content be developed in house, or will content be provided by third parties, e.g., advertisers or partners?
- Will any content be provided via RSS or other feed?
- Does the content need to tie in with advertising?
- Will the content be open for user comments? Who will moderate the comments? What are the moderation criteria?
The beauty of the web is that you can launch a website with as little as one page and a phone number quickly, simply and cheaply. But to build a successful web presence that grows your business, try building these questions into your web design process.

A testosterone test measures the amount of the male hormone, testosterone, in the blood. Both men and women produce this hormone.
The test described in this article measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood. Much of the testosterone in the blood is bound to a protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Another blood test can measure the "free" testosterone.
Alternative Names
Serum testosterone
How the Test is Performed
How to Prepare for the Test
The health care provider may advise you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test.
How the Test will Feel
You may feel a slight prick or sting when the needle is inserted. There may be some throbbing afterward.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be done if you have symptoms of abnormal male hormone (androgen) production.
In males, the testicles produce most of the testosterone in the body. Levels are most often checked to evaluate signs of low testosterone such as:
- Early or late puberty (in boys)
- Infertility, erectile dysfunction,
low level of sexual interest, infertility, thinning of the bones(in men)
In females, the ovaries produce most of the testosterone. The adrenal glands can also produce too much of other androgens that are converted to testosterone. Levels are most often checked to evaluate signs of higher testosterone levels, such as:
- Acne, oily skin
- Change in voice
- Decreased breast size
- Excess hair growth (thick, dark hair in the area of the moustache, beard, sideburns, chest, buttocks, inner thighs)
- Increased size of the clitoris
- Irregular or absent menstrual periods
- Male-pattern baldness or hair thinning
Normal Risks
- Male: 300 -1,000 ng/dL
- Female: 15 - 70 ng/dL
Note: ng/dL = nanograms per deciliter
The examples above are common measurements for results for these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different specimens.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased testosterone levels may be due to:
- Resistance to the action of male hormones (androgen resistance)
- Tumor of the ovaries
- Cancer of the testes
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
- Taking medications or drugs that increase testosterone levels
Decreased testosterone may be due to:
- Chronic illness
- Condition in which the pituitary gland does not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones
- Injury or disease of the hypothalamus
- Delayed puberty
- Diseases of the testicles (trauma, infection, immune)
- Noncancerous tumor of the pituitary cells that produce too much of the hormone prolactin

Head men's and women's cross country/track and field coach Eric Blake ran to a third place finish in the 2012 Mount Washington Road Race on Saturday. Blake, who ran injured in 2011 and finished ninth, returned to the top three in 2012 with an impressive race.
STEVE McLAUGHLIN'S PHOTO GALLERY
Taken from the Official Mount Washington Press Release:
...just ahead of de Gasperi was the hottest battle of the day, as Randall found himself shoulder-to-shoulder with Central Connecticut University coach and two-time Mt. Washington champion Eric Blake of New Britain, Conn. Blake, 33, had run this race last year with a torn hamstring, undergone surgery for it last July, and resumed running only in December.
"I'm back!" he exclaimed in jubilation at the finish, having powered ahead of Randall just before the daunting 22 percent grade that marks the final 70 yards of the course. "I had two goals today – to make the team, and to win. I got one of them. But when Sage took off he looked strong. It was his race." Blake took third happily in one hour and 54 seconds.
This year marked the eighth time that Blake has competed in the race. He has never finished out of the top-10. The Mt. Washington Auto Road covers 7.6 miles of pavement and packed gravel, the road is completely uphill with the finish line at an elevation of 6,288 feet. In elevation the road ascends 4,727 feet between the starting gate and the finish line. The average grade of the course is 12% with the final 100 yards covering a grueling 22% incline.
Blake had been extremely successful in his eight trips up Mt. Washington. In 2004, he turned in a fourth place finish in his first start at the event. Since then Blake has run the race every year, except 2007. Blake's victories came in 2006 and 2008. He was the runner-up in 2009 and 2010 and has a third silver medal from the 2005 race. This year marks his second third place finish, and his sixth time in the top-three.
A veteran of the United States Mountain Running team, Blake has run some of the most difficult courses around the world.
Top men's finishers:
1. Sage Canaday, 26, Sheridan, Ore., and Boulder, Colo., 58:27
2. Joseph Gray, 28, Newcastle, Wash., 1:00:33
3. Eric Blake, 33, New Britain, Conn., 1:00:54
4. Glenn Randall, 25, Mesa, Colo., 1:00:58
5. Marco deGasperi, 35, Bormio, Italy, 1:01:38
6. Tommy Manning, 36, Colorado Springs, Colo., 1:01:52
7. Tim Chichester, 23, Mount Morris, N.Y., 1:02:06
8. Max King, 32, Bend, Ore., 1:02:21
9. Simon Gutierrez, 46, Colorado Springs, Colo., 1:02:24
10. Alex Nichols, 27, Colorado Springs, Colo., 1:02:41

Kyle Busch has explained his comments about fellow driver Ryan Newman following the Camping RV Sales 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The 28-year-old blamed frustration for his reaction to Newman's racing style.
He also said that his outburst was not related to a three-car incident that involved Newman, his older brother Kurt Busch and Matt Kenseth.
Busch, who finished second in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event behind Brian Vickers, called Newman: "the biggest, stupid idiot out here and he's a big ogre and can do whatever he wants 'cause he can probably kick anybody's butts. No sense in getting in a fight with him. But glad he's out of a job."
But he did apologise for his actions by tweeting: "sorry for how I feel in those moments, but (I) could have expressed it better and certainly my comments about someone's livelihood went too far."
He went on to justify his later statements, claiming he did not blame Newman for the racing incident.
Busch tweeted: "I want to clarify that I was answering what I felt was two separate questions asked to me at the same time in an interview following the race in Loudon. The first was about how fast Kurt was and the second was how I felt about Ryan Newman blaming me for him getting wrecked.
"First I answered the Kurt part. He was fast... Great to see them running well... Was a shame to see him crashed... Nowhere there did I place blame on who wrecked who. I didn't see it and I still haven't seen it. "My second answer came from being upset over an incident I had with RN on the track during the race. I answered it in the same response, but it was intended as a completely separate answer. "I was upset because I felt RN raced me poorly, making contact and causing damage to my RF fender that affected the handling on my race car. This isn't the first time that I've been raced poorly by RN either, which added to my frustration. All this built up and allowed my emotions to spill over for how I felt."

Watching mainstream TV makes Andie MacDowell anxious these days.
"We need diversity. We need to have options for everybody, and there aren't many options for people who want to watch something wholesome," says MacDowell over the phone from Vancouver, Canada, which stands in for the fictional town of Cedar Cove in Washington state. "A lot of people are complaining about the very real violence in the world. And I'm not saying there's not a place for it — but we've got gobs of it on TV now. When you look back at programming 30 years ago, as opposed to today, you think, 'How far are we willing to go?'"
The same could be said of sex. And even though MacDowell rose to fame in 1989 thanks to her role in the sexually charged — and at the time shocking — Steven Soderbergh film "sex, lies and videotape," she's happy that "Cedar Cove" presents love in a romantic and idealized form.
The initial response has been good. The premiere of "Cedar Cove" pulled in 3.8 million viewers on Saturday night and ranked No. 1 in social media as measured by Trendrr.
"Cedar Cove," based on a series of books by the same name written by the bestselling romance novelist Debbie Macomber, stars MacDowell as Judge Olivia Lockhart, an attractive, single, middle-aged woman whose position at the Cedar Cove Municipal Court makes her a local celebrity in the quaint, sun-dappled village. Her love interest, Jack Griffith, is played by Dylan Neal, a hunky actor best known for the role of Dylan Shaw on "The Bold and the Beautiful." Griffith is new to town and edits the Cedar Cove Chronicle newspaper.
In the show, small-town life is very Mayberry. Lockhart rides a bicycle to work, its front basket loaded with fresh flowers. She waves to families playing with their kids on green lawns. Her mother, played by Paula Shaw, is a sweet but chiding gossip; her daughter is artistic and free-spirited and knows how to shoot straight when it comes to her mother's love life.
"I think it's important that men and women of a certain age are represented on television, because there aren't many places that you'll see that," says MacDowell, who at 55 looks every inch the stunning L'Oreal model that she is. "It's so much fun, particularly at my age, to represent characters that are vibrant and sexy and romantic."
And romance is what the Hallmark Channel is gunning for, says Michelle Vicary, Hallmark's executive vice president of programming.
"This kind of programming is underrepresented, and we know there is a huge audience for it," Vicary says. "Debbie Macomber has sold 170 million copies of her books. And there are 11 books in the Cedar Cove series — about this strong, unconventional leader of a town."
Stories by Macomber have a proven track record at Hallmark. TV movies based on her books, including "Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle," "Debbie Macomber's Call Me Mrs. Miracle" and "Debbie Macomber's Trading Christmas," were Hallmark's most watched movies for three years in a row, with each reeling in close to 5 million viewers during their respective premieres. They also ranked No. 1 among the coveted demographic of women ages 25 to 54.
Up until now, original movies were Hallmark Channel's bread and butter. In 2012 it had six of the 10 highest-rated original movies on ad-supported cable. But starting with "Cedar Cove," the channel plans to aggressively develop a string of original series, Vicary says.
"We are looking at three potential new pilots, with two airing this year and one early next year," she says, adding that, from the beginning, working with Macomber on the first one was a no-brainer. Then when the idea of casting MacDowell came up, Vicary said, the station's executives decided that no one else would do.
"She's an international star and the face of our first scripted prime-time show," Vicary says. "We just love her."
MacDowell is happy to lend her star power to Hallmark and says that working on the show has been a pleasant and fulfilling experience. Part of her enjoyment stems from the show's depiction of small-town life. MacDowell raised her children in small towns in Montana and North Carolina and says that a strong sense of decorum, community and good manners does still exist in such places.
"I know what small towns are like, and they are like this," she says. "And it's as if that world is no longer represented on television at all — as if it doesn't exist. But I lived it, and it does."
In a very real way, the town of Cedar Cove is its own character on the show. It's quiet peacefulness facilitates the sense of romance that permeates the drama, as does MacDowell's real-life attraction to her leading man.
"Every time I touch Dylan's arm I swoon," says MacDowell, laughing. "It truly is like something out of a romance novel. When you watch him walk into a room, you can see his pecs because of the way he cocks his shoulders, and I get a little breathless."

Does not the whole 5th chapter of Romans speak of sin in terms of our mortality inherited from Adam rather than some concept of total depravity?
I think there are passages in the Scripture that speak of the healing of spiritual sickness, though admittedly they are in the minority. This seems to be one of those things where--as with theosis--the early Christians saw gems in the biblical text and polished them up for us. Regarding your questions, the most important passage IMO would be…"And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." - Mk. 2:16-17 Obviously Jesus Christ is not talking about physical illness when he mentions a "physician" and people being "sick," but rather, when he speaks of "they that are sick" he is speaking of "sinners". Matt. 9:11-13 and Lk. 5:30-32 echo this passage in Mark.

Cablevision Caught Blatantly Lying To Customers About Digital TV Switch
from the don't-blame-us,-blame-the-fcc dept
Consumerist has caught Cablevision telling customers that they need to upgrade to a digital cable box by order of the FCC. This is simply untrue. Cablevision is upgrading many of its channels to digital format from analog, and those channels will no longer be available to customers who don't have a digital cable box. But, that's entirely a business decision made by Cablevision, and has absolutely nothing to do with the the FCC-mandated switch for over-the-air broadcasts. It's just that Cablevision timed this deal to coincide with all the stories about the over-the-air switch, and is using that to make people think that it's the FCC's fault. Cablevision responded to Consumerist admitting that the change has nothing to do with the FCC's mandated change -- but refused to explain why every customer support person Consumerist spoke to gave the FCC as the reason, even after they specifically went to check their training notes. It's a rather sneaky (and likely illegal) move to claim that people need to upgrade due to the FCC when the FCC has nothing to do with it.

The field is down to three: Mike Cioppa, Michael Lady and Joe Vidunas will interview for the vacant Durango High School head softball coach position at 6 p.m. Monday in the DHS auditorium.
Durango is looking to replace John Bernazzani, who stepped aside in January after five years at the helm. During that time, the Demons made their first-ever Class 4A playoff appearance, finishing the 2011 season 12-8.
Cioppa currently is the junior varsity coach at DHS, and he spent two years each as a varsity assistant at DHS and as an assistant at Fort Lewis College. Before that, he spent 34 years at Danbury High School in Danbury, Conn., where he taught physical education and health and served as a coach for the softball, baseball, football and girls basketball teams.
Cioppa earned his bachelors degree from the University of Bridgeport and a masters at Western Connecticut State University.
Lady currently is an elementary physical education teacher with District 9-R in Durango, and he holds a bachelors degree from Indiana Unniversity of Pennsylvania in sports administration and a masters in physical education from Arizona State University.
Before landing in Durango, Lady coached hockey and junior varsity softball in Santa Fe and also coached hockey in Pennsylvania before an eight-year stint in the military.
Vidunas is a volunteer assistant coach with the DHS softball team and the father of pitcher Lexy Vidunas. Hes coached with the Four Corners Fastpitch Association since 2005, instructing players ranging from the under-8 age group to the under-18 team. Vidunas also has coordinated registration and development for teams in Aztec, N.M., and he holds a bachelors degree in geophysics from the University of Delaware.
On Monday, each candidate will field questions from the audience for 25 minutes, while the audience later will have the chance to give written feedback to the interview team, which will make recommendations to DHS principal Leanne Garcia.

First off, I'd just like to say thank you for creating such a brilliant thread! I'm hoping it'll help me kick start my new fansub group. Anyway, on to the details.
-Japanese to English translator(s) (the ability to read and write in Japanese is essential; for translating signs/kanji for karaoke etc).
-An encoder with a decent amount of experience. XviD will be the overall preferred type of format we want our encodes in.
-A decent editor.
-A raw provider who can access raws fast and efficiently. I would do this myself, but I'm lazy :P

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, a devout Christian, has canceled an appearance at a Dallas mega-church led by a prominent pastor who has sparked controversy over remarks he made from the pulpit about gays and other religions.
Tebow, 25, who famously kneels in prayer on the football field in a move that has come to be known as "Tebowing," called off his April 28 appearance in a series of Twitter messages on Thursday.
"While I was looking forward to sharing a message of hope and Christ's unconditional love with the faithful members of the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas in April, due to new information that has been brought to my attention, I have decided to cancel my upcoming appearance," he said.
The First Baptist Church in Dallas, which had invited Tebow to celebrate the opening of its $130 million campus, is led by Robert Jeffress, a television evangelist who has criticized gays and other faiths, such as Islam and Mormonism.
The church said in a statement that Tebow, whose parents are missionaries, had called Jeffress on Wednesday and said he "needed to avoid controversy at this time, but would like to come to First Baptist Dallas to speak at a future date."
The church blamed news media on Thursday for having "grossly misrepresented" Jeffress' opinions and for putting pressure on Tebow.
Jeffress told Reuters that people advising Tebow "were encouraging him not to keep the commitment here" and that, in their conversation on Wednesday, Tebow did not take issue with the church's preaching.
"It certainly wasn't beliefs that he pointed to, it was the controversy surrounding his appearance here," said Jeffress, who has softened past statements he has made criticizing the Roman Catholic Church. But he remained unapologetic over his position on gays and lesbians.
"God's plan for sex is between a man and a woman in marriage. Yes, homosexuality is a deviation from God's plan, but I also include it with adultery and premarital sex as deviations from God's plan. But we don't hate homosexuals."
Tebow was a first-round draft pick in 2010 and the first college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, according to his website. Tebow was traded by the Denver Broncos to the Jets, but saw little playing time during the 2012 season.

My mother & sister suggested your place to us. We came in last night before going to the Collective Soul concert.
As I walked in I didn't know what to think.
I looked at your menu and then immediately decided the whole thing was pretentious as HELL!. The menu, the atmosphere, everything!
I looked at the menu and didn't know what all of those things were. (Am I supposed to speak Italian or what?!)
I was not pleased at the thought of what the meal was going to offer. I was contemplating leaving my group to get a Steak Sandwich at The Italian Place.
So we ordered. My brother and I shared a Pizza. By the time my wife's food came (she got the appetizer with the bacon, sweet potato, pecans, etc) I had a taste of hers and was surprisingly impressed. Lots of flavor yet quite simple. As I remember, there was some quote up on the chalk board that mentioned something along the lines of cooking good food is easy with quality ingredients, or whatever.
Once my pizza came out I was pissed it was so thin.
But . . . . . It was good. Surprisingly good. Again, the flavor was impressive.
Now that the pizza was good, the only thing I was pissed about now is that I had shared it with my brother.
One last part. The water, the cups, the jug the water is poured from - pretentious!!! And I don't even have this much anger against food places - at all! But this was BUGGING ME.
We all had water. By the end of the night we had all drunk a lot of water. It was so good! I don't even care about water, but this was good water - for whatever reason. I even started liking the little bottles they poured it from. The servers were always so prompt in refilling our cups too.
So here's what happened. I went P712 with a chip on my shoulder, for other reasons. Once I got there the place rubbed me the wrong way. Keep in mind now, I don't try a lot of new places because I hate disappointment! Hate It! (if you stick with what you know how can you be disappointed? Right?). The menu was making me mad; the atmosphere was making me mad; everything was making me mad.
Then something happened; morsels of food touched my tongue.
Now, a stubborn person would deny it if the food actually were good - just for spite. Some people return clothing items for spite - but not me. I can be pretty stubborn too. But, I'm honest enough to give credit where it is due. The credit is due at P712.
So, now it's day two and what am I craving? You got it! Now I'm a fan. I liked everything about the experience, even though it came the hard way.
I like that it's small. I like the GQ servers. I like the "louder than normal" music. I like the hanging light over our table; the water jugs; the glasses; the silverware (thanks IKEA), and last but not least - the taste(forward slash)flavor.
I'm no Anton Ego, but I will tell other people about this place (already have). But seriously, if there are a bunch of rats cooking the food in the back i'll be pissed!

All News Releases By Date
EPA Awards Funds to Cleanup and Revitalize Somerville, Mass. Neighborhood
Release Date: 06/09/2011
Contact Information: EPA Public Affairs, (617) 918-1010
(Boston, Mass. – June 9, 2011) – As part of $3.5 million in Brownfields grants that EPA is making available for Massachusetts communities, EPA has provided $600,000 for Somerville to cleanup the former Kiley Barrel Property site. The funding is part of more than $76 million in EPA brownfields investments across the country announced this week by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to protect health and the environment, create jobs and promote economic re-development in American communities.
EPA Brownfields grant money assists work to reclaim sites including old textile mills, sites containing hazardous substances and petroleum products and other abandoned industrial and commercial properties. EPA's Brownfields program encourages redevelopment of America's estimated 450,000 abandoned and contaminated waste sites.
In Somerville, the $600,000 will fund three separate cleanup projects at the Former Kiley Barrel Property site.
"This EPA funding will help strengthen the economic foundation of these communities," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA New England's office. "Cleaning and revitalizing contaminated sites helps create jobs, providing a solid foundation for a community to create new businesses and neighborhood centers, while making our environment cleaner and the community healthier."
"These federal funds will help transform the Kiley Barrel site, eliminating old contaminants and revitalizing it so that the land can be used for future development. Brownfields grants have had a tremendous impact here in Somerville and all over the country, giving communities the resources they need to revitalize old industrial sites," stated Congressman Michael Capuano.
The $12.55 million in grant and Revolving Loan Fund money awarded by EPA to a variety of New England communities and organization will provide substantial help around the region. The EPA funding leverages over $46 million of other money to pursue brownfields cleanup and revitalization work. In New England, these projects have created 98 clean up jobs this year as well as 135 redevelopment jobs.
As of June 2011, EPA's brownfields assistance has leveraged more than $16.3 billion in cleanup and redevelopment funding, and helped create more than 70,000 jobs in cleanup, construction and redevelopment. These investments and jobs target local, under-served and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods – places where environmental cleanups and new jobs are most needed.
Since the beginning of the Brownfields Program, in New England alone EPA has awarded 268 assessment grants totaling $67.1 million, 61 revolving loan fund grants and supplemental funding totaling $65 million and 174 cleanup grants totaling $39.3 million. These grant funds have paved the way for more than $1.3 billion in public and private cleanup and redevelopment investment and for 8815 jobs in assessment, cleanup, construction and redevelopment.
Some of the money announced today falls under EPA's brownfields revolving loan funding. Since 1995, EPA RLF recipients have provided 53 loans and 63 grants in New England totaling more than $29 million for brownfields cleanup. The loan funds have paved the way for more than $189 million in public and private cleanup and redevelopment investment and for 1034 jobs in cleanup, construction and redevelopment.
In 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was passed. The brownfields law expanded the definition of what is considered a brownfield, so communities may now focus on mine-scarred lands, sites contaminated by petroleum, or sites contaminated as a result of manufacturing and distribution of illegal drugs (e.g. meth labs).

Two Portable Media Centers Available for Preorder at Amazon.com
Two Windows based Portable Media Center models, the Creative Labs Zen Portable Media Center and the Samsung Yepp YH 999 Portable Media Center, are now available for preorder at Amazon.com. Microsoft announced this week that the two units will ship in August and September respectively. Both feature a rather meager 20GB hard disk and will retail for about 500 or the same price as a 40GB Apple iPod, which only plays music and features a low resolution black and white screen. By comparison, the Pocket PC-like Portable Media Center devices feature beautiful color screens and can play back recorded TV shows if you have a Media Center PC, music videos and photo slideshows. Also, despite the small size of the hard disk Microsoft says the units are capable of storing up to 80 hours of video or about 5000 songs. One impediment will be the price. $500 is a lot of smack, especially when you consider that most consumers don't even own a portable audio player yet and that many full fledged PCs cost only a bit more. Expect the prices to come down as the capacity goes up, however. I'll be interested to see how these units fair in the market.
Microsoft EU to Meet with Judge
Officials from Microsoft and the European Union (EU) will meet with the president of the EU's Court of First Instance on July 27 to discuss the software giant's request that the court suspend the EU's antitrust sanctions against the company. You might recall that Microsoft was fined over $600 million and was required to decouple Windows Media Player (WMP) from Windows and provide its competitors with more technical information for interoperating with Windows Server products as a result of an antitrust investigation in Europe. Judge Bo Vesterdorf (yes Bo) invited both parties to an informal meeting in which the judge will at some point jump through the window of the General Lee and drive off with Roscoe P. Coltrane in hot pursuit. Or something.
Microsoft Gets Antitrust Warning from Japan
The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) in Japan said Friday that it will likely issue a warning to Microsoft after investigating the company for antimonopoly law abuses. Although details are scarce and will remain so until Tuesday, the FTC has said that it won't levy any fines against the software giant. My expectation is that Magnum will call TC for a helicopter ride and Rick will use his contacts in Honolulu to find out what the Japanese FTC is up to. OK, I need to get off of this classic TV kick.
Last Week's IE Fix Comes Under Fire
Last week Microsoft issued a bizarre configuration change fix to partially patch the Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerability that contributed to the now infamous Download Ject electronic attack. There's just one problem. The fix might not work. According to security researchers, hackers can relatively easily work around the fix and exploit patched systems. For this reason many experts are recommending that except for trusted Web sites, users disable IE's Active Scripting, the configuration of which is rather Byzantine. Here's a better solution. Don't use IE. Again, I recommend Mozilla Firefox but you should also consider Opera which has improved dramatically in recent releases.
Mozilla Gets Its Own Vulnerability
On the other hand, maybe IE isn't the only hackalicious Web browser out there. In the wake of the Mozilla Foundation's obvious and deserved cackling over the problems with IE that organization's products were found to have their own security flaw. This news is both good and bad however. The good news is that the Mozilla folks fixed the bug which afflicts the Mozilla browser suite Firefox and the Thunderbird email application extremely quickly and you can now download a patch or a new version of each product that includes the fix. The bad news is that it's now clear that Mozilla, like Mac OS X and other untested products, is simply benefiting from the fact that so few people use its products. If usage increases, Mozilla will suffer many other attacks and it's unclear at this point how the product will fare. In any event, I still recommend Mozilla Firefox, although this week's vulnerability is a sobering reminder of the realities of the PC world today.
Heads up Mozilla Foundation: IE Team No Threat Yet
And if I could beat this topic to death a bit what the heck, it's Friday. I should also mention a bizarre public chat that the recently reconstituted IE team had with users. I'm mentioning the chat only because the IE team said so little and was incapable of specifying what, if anything, it would add to future IE versions. Yes, they're aware that a lot of people want tabbed browsing and better standards support. Yes, they promised a more comprehensive fix for the Download Ject issue. But specifics? No, they would have none of that. So what can we expect of future IE versions? Not much in my opinion and not anytime soon. This is a huge opportunity for Mozilla or for any other company that makes browser products that compete with IE. Step it up guys.
Microsoft to Integrate Search into MSN Windows and Office
Microsoft has made a lot of noise about its search plans for Longhorn and MSN, but this week Microsoft Group Vice President, Jeff Raikes, revealed that improved search capabilities will also be an integral part of the next Microsoft Office version currently codenamed Office 12. This makes a certain amount of sense. For many users, Office is the conduit through which most of the documents on their system are created. However, it's still unclear how Office will use this technology, which Raikes says is coming out of Microsoft Research.
Sun Java Desktop System Wins Over Windows Customer in Ireland
Allied Irish Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in one of my favorite countries, announced recently that it's migrating 7500 Windows desktops to Sun's Linux based Java Desktop System (JDS) over the next several months. The win represents the biggest ever financial services enterprise deal for JDS Sun says and it proves that Sun's fledgling Linux offering is off to a strong start. Indeed, JDS is a surprisingly capable platform based on my informal tests and it ships with the commercial version of Sun StarOffice, which is a good Microsoft Office alternative. How long before we start seeing major Windows defections in the United States?
Dell in New Deal to Ship Linux on Desktops. Or Is It?
Speaking of Linux, Dell Computer was put in a weird position this week when news organizations reported that the company was shipping its first Linux based desktop systems in Europe. The problem is that's not what happened. Instead, an Italian PC reseller named Questar ordered a bunch of Dell desktops, loaded them with Linux, then announced the configuration as if it were a major partnership between Dell and the open source community. Which it isn't. Dell was forced to explain the situation and say that this kind of thing had actually been going on for some time with other small resellers. Yawn.
Microsoft Keyboard Patent Case Rejuvenated
On Tuesday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington DC reversed a lower court's decision that had invalidated ergonomic keyboard patents owned by TypeRight Keyboard Corporation, which has been suing Microsoft for patent infringement since 1998. The case can therefore proceed a full 4 years after Microsoft won a motion to invalidate the patents. But the appellate court ruled this week that there were genuine issues with the credibility of Microsoft's witnesses who had argued that prior use examples of ergonomic keyboards predating TypeRight's patents existed. The court wrote in its decision "While this is a close case, we conclude that summary judgment of invalidity was improperly granted and a trial is necessary to determine whether the testimony offered by Microsoft to prove that prior art is credible." TypeRight is seeking millions of dollars in damages and would like to force Microsoft to stop shipping its ergonomic keyboards. Hey, I'm all for the latter condition. Microsoft's new keyboards stink.
Microsoft to Tout Security as an Advantage
Next week, Microsoft will begin a new marketing approach in which it will tout the security of its products as an advantage over its competition. No offense to Microsoft, but the notion of the company pushing security as a reason to choose its products right now makes about as much sense as Apple Computer pushing its enterprise credentials. Guys, you make computing easy. And we know you're working on the security thing. But give it some time. You're not there yet. And it doesn't help that all your security related technology XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Update Services (WUS), Microsoft Update, and ISA Server 2005 for starters have been continually delayed.
A Couple of Thoughts on the IBMization of Microsoft
In the wake of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's annual letter to employees in which he explained that the company would have to tighten its belt financially, there's been a lot of talk about how large Microsoft has become. Worse yet, it's pretty clear that Microsoft has become the next IBM, that thing it feared to be so much, a huge bureaucratic Titanic of a company that's unable to capitalize on new technology quickly, all the while watching smaller faster and hungrier competitors such as Apple, Mozilla, and the Linux community, Sun, make it look silly on a regular basis. So what's the solution to this problem? Does Microsoft become as boring as DuPont or AT&T? As stable and, yawn, inducing as a GE or Viacom? Yeah, pretty much. But here's the irony. Had Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson gotten his way and Microsoft were split into two smaller companies, the tech industry and Microsoft itself would be in a far better position today as a result. We'd have two smaller hungrier companies and the Office oriented one, Microsoft Office Co., would likely have started targeting Linux providing itself with a bigger business and giving the Windows oriented company, Microsoft OS Co., more competition. That in turn would have caused the Microsoft OS company to step up its development and innovate more quickly. Which would of course put the heat on Linux and Apple, causing them to do the same. In short the whole snowballing effect would have been a wonderful cure for the current doldrums under which we now suffer. And let's not even get into how much the split would have benefited shareholders who have watched Microsoft's monostock go absolutely nowhere since the US antitrust trial. Ah well.

Difference between revisions of "User talk:IBAlex"
Revision as of 07:51, 25 September 2013
Here are archived discussions on my Talk Page.
Fixed image widths
I was a little concerned about this edit of yours http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Singapore&curid=773&diff=1999726&oldid=1999264
It's great to add some pretty pictures but I think you need to remember that all our casual readers have their page width reduced by the adverts that appear on the right and many may have slow connections or narrow screens.
That's partly why we have these policies: http://wikitravel.org/shared/Image_policy#Minimal_use_of_images and http://wikitravel.org/shared/Image_policy#Image_sizes and this advice: Wikitravel:How_to_add_an_image#Sizing
What do you think are the chances of this proposal being implemented: Wikitravel:Travellers'_pub#Default_image_sizes_in_Thumbnails?
I've only changed the specification of the lead image, but you may want to consider removing the fixed width of 400px from the other images in our Singapore article after you have read the references above - especially as Singapore currently has star status, meaning it should comply with all our current policies!. --118dot93dot73dot30 15:10, 1 March 2013 (EST)
The spam filter does not allow me to create a template to facilitate the display of panorama style images on small screen widths. Here is the code which needs to replace the current truncated code:
Thanks for your anticipated assistance. --118dot93dot73dot30 20:55, 5 March 2013 (EST)
-> 'style( )*\=( )*(\"|')?overflow( )*\:( )*auto'
Can you find this edit to your user page in the log? --118dot93dot73dot30 16:39, 7 March 2013 (EST)
We made it, Alex! You can see the (working) result of the new {{panorama}} template here: User:118dot93dot73dot30/Test & here; I'm particularly gratified to see that the width of the displayed panorama box reduces its width automagically (at least with my XP and Linux Firefox browsers) if the window or tab width is decreased. Try it!
That overflow phrase can be powerful, so, if you are unable to assign any special editing privileges to me, it might be wiser to restore the local spam filter to what it was now we've got it working. It will be difficult and tedious for me to introduce new templates here if I keep running into this sort of problem, though... --118dot93dot73dot30 19:04, 7 March 2013 (EST)
I'm afraid your filters are making it impossible for me to do any useful work here.
Check the filter logs for my recent edits that were forbidden please.
Just now I wanted to test a new article title display format to avoid the problem of having a very thin lead paragraph squeezed between an infobox and a table of contents but was stopped again.
Please replace display:THWARTED with display:nOVEMBER(no space between the 4 letters and don't use the capitalised parts of the NATO spelling alphabet)oSCAR(no space between the 4 letters and don't use the capitalised parts of the NATO spelling alphabet)nOVEMBER(no space between the 4 letters and don't use the capitalised parts of the NATO spelling alphabet)eCHO, wherever it occurs below, and then substitute the proper code for the current first line at South Island/Title Template, please:
Please would you favour me with a reply to the above request? --118dot93dot73dot30 19:11, 13 March 2013 (EDT)
I'm getting a little frustrated that my efforts to drastically improve the look and feel of our articles are getting thwarted by the lack of a reply - it's been a week now. --118dot93dot73dot30 15:16, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
hi, would it be allpwable for me to create a bot that could HTML scrape and so update opening times, prices, etc. to keep the site up to date?--22.214.171.124 14:46, 29 May 2013 (EDT)
ja: spambot filters does not work well
Hi, this is Shoestring of ja: (sorry for not to respond you so often).
It seems that your spam filter on ja: does not work at all recently, and we can't those new spammers, as you can see the recent change list of ja:.
Would you help us again?--Shoestring (talk) 16:38, 10 July 2013 (EDT)
Hi, Alex. Thank you very much. With your help, spam attacks seem to be declined dramatically for these couple of days. On the other hand, recently we got several types of advertisement-like spam pages (such as real estate, health-promoting, personal loan, entertainments etc. So I tried to pick up the related key words on my spam bot key words list, every time when those pages were made. So would you please add those words on your black lists when you have times?
Speaking of bugs on ja:, yes, those I mentioned before does not normalized so far. Is there any problem not just your programs but the types of browsers (for your information, I use I.E. regularly)? --Shoestring (talk) 21:52, 27 July 2013 (EDT)
Intermediate level between outline and usable for countries
Hi again.
Continuing the issues about Jordan. I do believe that a status between "outline" and "usable" should exist for countries, for, with the requirements of the usable, almost all countries have remained to the "outline" status.
This is not fair, for it places the same status in common tourist destinations (Greece, France, Germany and most of Europe etc which have lots of places to be completed so if 99 cities are complete and 1 isn't they are marked as outline) while also awards that status to destinations like Chad for which there will almost never be an upgrade to "usable". Or, the "usable" status is given to places with 1 or 2 towns just because there is nothing to write more.
I do believe that the status must be awarded while taking into consideration the country's tourist status, or we could create such a tourist status. Status could also combine country safety or accessibility, for example it's almost impossible to have a complete "Get in" for London, for there are thousand ways to get in and constantly changing, whereas having even one reliable "Get in" for Equatorial Guinea would be enough for the section to be considered complete. WindowsNT (talk) 06:25, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
Images from Flickr
Hello, i see there is a possibility to upload the pictures from Flickr to Wikitravel Shared, how to do that "technically" also is clear, just some aspects of the whole procedure are not clear to me: can i upload the picture (with "some rights reserved", CC-BY-2.0) similarly like from Wikimedia Commons, or should i click "request to license" first on Flickr page, then wait for reply and so on? I'm not a member of Flickr and generally didn't deal with it before. --Local (talk) 06:25, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words! Happy to help! Awiseman (talk) 19:34, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
Removing info on Kolyma highway
Hi Alex, I'm KCharles, I wrote a lot of the original material on the Kolyma highway. Thanks for adding some more info - did you go there recently? I was wondering why you removed some info as well, like locations of local airports. I'm reasonably keen to leave the warnings I wrote in - part of the reason the fatality rate for foreigners is only a few percent is that unprepared dreamers are kept away! Kcharles (talk) 20:26, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
Hi, thank you for helping with the Can Tho article. As you can see in the history, I wrote most of the article and feel a bit bad that you accuse me of touting. I also helped to get rid of spamming on a number of Vietnam related articles. Your critic now is that I use first pronouns and that is why you revert to an older incorrect version and get rid of sights of interest - a Pagoda - I added? Why don't you help to improve the text? Please reply on my talk page. Mario Behling (talk) 21:31, 9 September 2013 (EDT)
False Accusations on Barcelona talk page
Hi Alex, I hope summer is treating you well! A new user going by the name of Filby33 who has admitted to "trying to include [their] business as an option for travellers on this page but with no luck" has just made some pretty egregious false accusations about me being the owner of one of the Walking Tour listings, on the Barcelona talk page. I suspect this is the same user who has been spamming their www.barcelonawalkandsee.com walking tour on the Barcelona page under several now-blocked usernames including Barcelona and Blanca. I'm not sure what the protocol is for these kind of personal attacks and false accusations on WikiTravel, but I don't want to get involved with this user as they are clearly upset that all of their attempts to tout their business on WikiTravel have failed and they have chosen to take it out on me as a result simply because I was involved with the discussions about that section. I'm not even the one who started the discussions on Walking Tours and Bike Tours, I simply responded to the topics you had created and participated in them to the best of my abilities, and those discussions were open to all participants. I also didn't request to be put in charge of the Walking Tours (and Bike Tours) section, that's something you asked me to keep an eye on and which I was happy to do. So I'm not sure why this user is going after me. I think every single one of my edits and contributions to the Barcelona page (all of which are open for anyone to see) speak for themselves and I don't want a known and blocked spammer tarnishing my reputation or my contributions here. I don't like being put in this uncomfortable position where my reputation is put into question, so for the record, I want to state here unequivocally that I am not in any way, shape, or form affiliated with any walking tour (or any kind of tour or business listed anywhere on WT for that matter), nor do I have any other account on WT, and all my additions, edits, and recommendations on WikiTravel are my own personal opinions based on my own experiences as described. As you will recall, I've made a very significant and varied number of contributions to the entire Barcelona page that directly lead to it becoming the May Destination of the Month on WT, yet you don't see this user mentioning any of that in their diatribe against me. So I'm not sure why this user has a personal issue against me other than the fact that I was one of several users who did not allow them to spam their commercial listing, but I stand by every single one of my recommendations, edits, and discussions on WikiTravel, the Barcelona page, and the Walking Tours and Bike Tours section, all of which have been scrutinized by you and the community. Also, please note that when this user added their accusation to the Barcelona talk page, they removed almost the entire discussion you and I had regarding Bike tours, so you may wish to revert their edit to recover that entire discussion we had (although I wouldn't be surprised if this user also ends up accusing me of owning one of the Bike tour companies for having been involved in that discussion as well!). Could you please look into this serious matter and resolve it as soon as possible? I look forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your help! Cheers! P.S. I haven't forgotten about your request to add some pics from here, I've just been away on summer holidays! ;) BarcelonaExpert (talk) 16:37, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
Kamalbe Spanish School Edits
Hi Alex,
Sorry about the touting didn't really know what I could and couldn't put on. When you undid the edits though you reverted the link to the listing of our school back to a broken link. I just want to fix that link. It's this one:
Kamalbe Spanish school and cultural learning centre [23] (Broken & Incorrect Link) tel(502)54888 317
We have erased the link from the second listing and put it with the first description of our school. I hope this is okay. Thanks!
Hi Alex, Trying to get back involved again :) I used to be a fairly regular patroller and flagger of spam (was nearly nominated for the Admin team) but then changes in work meant I had less time to pop on. About to have a big change in work/life soon though so hoping to have some more time to get back on here. Nrms (talk) 05:25, 19 September 2013 (EDT)
Hi, you undid the additions/changes I made today, adding links to our site, EcuadorSchedules.com, but ...
Hi,You undid the additions/changes I made today, adding links to our site, EcuadorSchedules.com, citing the rule against secondary sources. However, since we are the original and only site that publishes the complete bus schedules of Ecuador, covering more than 200 bus companies and cooperatives, we actually are the primary source of this information. (The bus companies update their information directly with us, and most of them don't publish this information themselves or anywhere else -- nor does the government, any tourist board, etc.)
Moreover, the information is completely free, and really indispensable for travelers. When talking about catching buses in Ecuador, to any of the cities for which there are listings on WikiTravel, it's misleading and a disservice to the readers to not mention that the bus schedules are, in fact, available(and where).
I hope you'll reconsider the mention or linking of this primary resource for Ecuador travellers.
Thanks, Keith Parisella, Editor and Publisher EcuadorSchedules.com [email protected]
Matching vs different region names in raster image and text
Hello. I have a star now :D . But still have some questions. Was going to edit some basic aspects on LT page, specifically Regions. I now have investigated the "page history" and see and know what was added by whom and why. The point is that one of the regions is Suvalkija (Suwalszczyzna) and the template was added in 2010 where it is named as Sudovia. I was going to replace Sudovia with Suvalkija but the template is a raster image, I'm not going (and don't want) to modify it. So if I modify the text, the image won't match it. So it's not good. I also see that initially it was a text "Sūduva or Suvalkija - southern and south-western region" added by some employee of official Lithuanian travel site in 7 August 2007. The order of the names (Sūduva vs Suvalkija) in this case does not bear any meaning, I suspect that later it was simply maintained as the editors didn't know the difference and actually it was not relevant. First, on Wikipedia LT the name is Suvalkija, and the raster image has no names. Same about EN article. Second, to put it short, it still is a same region of Suwalszczyzna, its norther half (LT) and southern half (PL), and especially now when border is almost nonexistent it actually "works" as same historical region. And all international travelers who are traveling, say, from Berlin to Helsinki, must pass this narrow "neck" of Schengen zone in any case and by any means of transport, and they do that as if it was an empty space. I sometimes come across some questions, something like "could anybody tell is there something to see somewhere near Kalvarija or Suwalki as it would be convenient to stay for a night, blah-blah-blah, but I only find that Suwalki is industrial town and there is nothing around, huh?" If they knew everything in advance, they could plan their trip in more detail and that long way between Vilnius and Warszawa would not be the waste of time. I suspect that ALL English language guides ignore this region as none of native English-speakers have a clue about it. WT can be a precedent. Others later will start to use it as a source :D . But it would be reasonable that one could see that this is a 1 region divided between 2 countries, I mean, it would be more comprehensible for average readers. It's annoyingly long distance from 1 capital to another and if there was certain info about existence of "at least something" in between it would be useful for many. Now if you check what to do in Podlachia or in Sūduva – there is nothing. Empty space. I maybe will add later some basics on Sudovia, but how about the possibility to change the name to Suvalkija? I already added the hint on LT page that there are routes from LT to PL (offered by tourism office in LT), similarly Podlachia page can be expanded (among other things) by adding some hints, say, like on this Polish site (very nice in my opinion), or some very basics like here. At least better than nothing. But first I want to clarify what to do with Suvalkija vs Sūdovia, can I switch them in the text? Then existing internal links may not work. --Local (talk) 08:03, 24 September 2013 (EDT)

Hawaii was beautiful and amazing, as always. I love it there! I wouldn't want to live there, but I could visit a few times a year! I guess hubby needs to get a higher paying job! LOL
So, I have to start with this pic, because its just so cool!
Sam wanted to hold the parrots last time we were there but it didn't happen, so I promised her it would this time. We didn't see them at the same place and she was so disappointed.
BUT! We found some somewhere else and look at what happened! I have a whole set of these photo's and they are so great!
And this is the famous cliff diving in Kaanapali Beach, near Maui
Unfortunately, not near as cool as we thought it would be.
THIS was cool:
Until the lifeguard told us we were too close and could get a ticket. So we backed off, but it was so neat! We saw 6 or 7 sea turtles on the beach that day. This was at Punaluu Black Sand Beach, near Hilo.
This is Rainbow Falls, near Hilo.
And here we are, getting ready to go snorkeling in Kauai.
Ignore the bearded Canadian in the background!
I have some formal photo's from the ship, as well as some shots they took of us departing, but I haven't scanned those yet, so you may get to see those later!
I have to leave you with these photo's of this beautiful rainbow we saw over the Na Pali coastline as we were leaving Kauai. I have never seen as many rainbows as we saw this trip, but this one beat them all. It was just amazing!
