The mojo is seriously missing, yet again.
So tonight, instead of working on Christmas knitting, I'm going to work on my Christmas cards.
Most of these (and the stamps) I bought a year ago, but didn't send as I really wasn't in the Christmas spirit after my father's death in November. But life goes on, so tonight I'll get them written and tomorrow they'll be in the post.
And then I'll get back to the cowl.

Love the ease of use.. but i don't see any changes to SPEED or style, ie… VERTICAL, VERTICAL-REVERSED, etc…
Hey John,
Thanks for purchasing my plugin.
I've never had any questions about options not working so I'm just going to explain how the options work (;
- The target option will let you define the target(s) of the plugin. The target needs a background to function. the target(s) can be defined by class (.element), id (#element) and/or tagname (element). you can define multiple targets by separating them with "," (.element, #element, element). if the field is left blank, the body will be targetted by default.
- The speed option will change the speed with which the background will move. 1 is the fastest and 10 is the slowest.
- The vertical option will enable or disable the background to move vertically.
- The vertical_inversed option will invert the direction of the background when enabled (Note that this option will only take effect when the vertical option has been enabled)
- The horizontal option will enable or disable the background to move horizontally.
- The horizontal_inversed option will invert the direction of the background when enabled (Note that this option will only take effect when the horizontal option has been enabled)
I hope this explanation will suffice.
Hey there Martin! Hope things are going well with you and yours. (-:
Got one quick question: Can I only hit one element per page? I'm trying to get two different backgrounds (I've tried the same class and 2 different ones comma separated in your plug-in) to run the parallax effect.
It's not working. Just wanted to figure out if it was a limitation of the software or not.
Thanx (again) for your help!
Hey Jonhardison,
I'm kind of in the middle of something right now but I will look into it later this day.
Could you send me an example of the problem over mail? It would be much easier to test what the problem is (;
Surely. I'll get that over to you within the hour. Thx.
Alright! Got it working. It was entirely my fault. LOL! Typos in every conceivable place so it was me that didn't work, not your plug-in. Don't suppose you have a fix for that, do you?
Sounds like a great plugin. Just one question there. Could I have multiple instances of it on a single page? In another words can I make "Element a" scroll faster than "element b"? Thanks.
and also, would I be able to manipulate multiple background layers on the same element? Thanks again.
Hey pdavid82,
Manipulating multiple elements with individual parallax effects won't be possible for now.
I've had the request a few times already and I'm still looking for some time to create this functionality. The feature will be implemented in the near future and won't bring any extra costs.
The site I want to use it on is HTML5/CSS3 ~ is wp-justParallaxplugin for Wordpress responsive, or can it be made responsive?
Hello Terence. The plugin itself does not need to be responsive for it only adds an effect to your existing elements.
So if your website is responsive, justParallax will be responsive too.
Hello, After I installed the plugin, the location of the background image changed. How can I fix this?
Without the plugin -> http://universoracionalista.org/ (appears the moon).
With the plugin ->[link removed] (not appear the moon).
Ps* Sorry for my english. Thank you.
wp-justParallax manipulates the background-position style to make the background move. In your case the moon is just too far from the side to be visible when the background is placed directly to the left side which causes the moon to be placed under the container.
Consider moving the moon a little more to the side using a program like photoshop.
I hope this solved your problem.
Okay Martin, I'll try that. Thanks for the helpfull support.
I too would like to limit the effect to just one page (home). Is there any quick way to achieve that?
Hey 0rca,
Thanks for buying my plugin.
You could try considering giving the element another class/id on the page you want the effect to apply on and target that class/id.
I hope this solves your problem.
Hi Martin,
thanks for taking the time to answer. Using another class is indeed the workaround I am using now, but I hoped for a more page oriented solution. Gotta talk to my programmer then, to see where we could change the code. On a different note: Is IE having trouble with smooth scrolling backgrounds in general or is this a problem of the plugin/our installation?
Hey 0rca,
The plugin fires from the scroll event and uses the scroll distance to calculate the parallax variables. Since IE doesn't have smooth scroll it doesn't scroll the background smoothly either but the parallax still works.
Hi again Martin,
I was trying to find a way to disable the effect for IE alltogether but failed miserably (tried with conditional comments and fixed position). Do you have any idea how to achieve that?
Good luck with your exams
You could add a statement in the js file if you know how to do this.
If so, paste this in the top of the initParallax() function: if(window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE ") >= 0) return;
it should work (:
Thanks, got no bad grades (yet)
Thanks a lot, I will try that.
This looks great!!
I've read mobile devices do not support Parallax scrolling, true?
Multisite OK?
I've built a test semi-parallax page (background is fixed) http://goo.gl/lQQqpP using the Visual Composer http://goo.gl/YP1kBD
I can give each row a background image and class, would this work with your plugin?
Short video of how I used Visual Composer: http://goo.gl/6YEj4h
It would be really great to see your script as a module in Visual Composer!!! You guys should team up!
Thank you very much!
Hey csborgman,
thank you for your enthusiasm about the plugin but I'm afraid I will have to bring you bad news.
The website you mentioned in your comment uses some kind of "hack" to scroll over the page. Usually you scroll over the body element but on your page the body element has been disabled and the user scrolls over the div with the .site-inner class. Because of this unusual way of scrolling, my plugin can't catch the scroll event which results in that it can't position the background images.
I will look into a way to make this work somewhere within the next 2 weeks since I do see a possibility for a fix (I am sorry about the timespan but I will have to make some time between my exams).
Kind regards, Martin Drost
Hello Martin, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm not very proficient in html I'm not sure to well understand the operation of the plugin. Is it possible to configure the parallax effect only on one part of the page please? And if yes, I don't understand the way to do it and especially how to name the area to animate. I think the need to define a background as a picture for example, write content that had marched over and indicate to the plugin the name of this area. Is this correct please? Thank you in advance for your help! Regards, Jed.
Hey Jed,
You can target elements to apply the parallax effect by their tagname, id or classname. This is covered in the following link: http://www.martindrost.nl/wp-justParallax/#customize
The easiest way to find the required target is by using the element inspector of your browser.
I hope this has answered your question.
Kind regards, Martin
Hey there! Before purchasing this plugin, I wanted to know if I can use this to apply parallax to the header image in this post, since this is the theme that I am using – http://thehappybit.com/demo/bigfoot/2013/03/25/he-who-has-overcome-his-fears-will-truly-be-free/
Hello Muditk,
I've taken a look at your website and it seems that implementing justParallax on your header is currently not possible. You are using an tag instead of a background-image.
If you use the a background-image instead of an tag for the header parallax will be possible for your website.
I hope this anwered your question.
Hi Martin,
Is there a simple way to disable this plugin when viewing my website on a mobile device?
I thought the following would work – but it doesn't appear to:
@media only screen and (min-device-width : 768px) and (max-device-width : 1024px) { }
.className {
background-attachment: fixed;
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey TannerDigital,
Thanks for purchasing my plugin.
The trick is targetting mobile styles instead of the desktop styles like you are currently doing. The plugin needs background-attachment: fixed; to function so if you just overwrite that style for mobile devices it should be fine.
I hope this information wil suffice.
Kind regards, Martin
Do you know if this works with the genesis framework? I have tried many classes nothing seems to work.
Hey Ellissajayne,
Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I've taken a look at the genesis framework and I can't know for sure if it would work since I don't have a demo page.
could you send me a demo page in my mail where I can test? It would help me help you (;
Kind regards, Martin
Is it possible to do something like this?:http://hotdot.pro/en/#
Hey juanrane,
Sorry for the late response.
The plugin only reacts to scrolling vertically and does not (yet) support parralax while scrolling horizontally.
I will look into implementing such a functionality, it shouldn´t be too much work (;
kind regards, Martin
Hi Martin,
I have been trying to get this plug in to work with no luck. I want my background to be full width and responsive. I have the tage in the plugin set to .page-id-8 #container. This is my css for the background:
.page-id-8 #container { background: url [link removed] repeat-y center top; -webkit-background-size: contain; -moz-background-size: contain; -o-background-size: contain; background-size: contain; }
[link removed]
Does my background have to be longer than my content? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Hey Anderchelseam,
I've taken a look at you web page and I see 2 problems. The first problem is that you use "body #container" as target which won't work since you have to separate selectors with a ",".
I've removed the body from the selector because I guess you are trying to select "#container" and it seems that there is a bug in the select() function of my plugin, I will fix this bug the moment I get a chance and all buyers will get notified.
My apologies for the bug and thank you for reporting it.
Kind regards, Martin
hmmm strange, I only have .page-id-8 #container called out. Body has not been targeted. Thanks for the help!
Hey Martin!
I got it to work. Great plug-in by the way. Is there a way to install the plugin twice so I could assign both horizontal and vertical sliding elements on one site?
Hey Chelsea,
That's not (yet) possible. I'm currently in the middle of my exams and when I'm done I will put some more time into extending the plugin. This feature has been requested a lot of times now so I will probably start with that.
Kind regards, Martin
Hi there!
Just bought the plugin and we are trying to target certain elements on our page but nothing is working??
[link removed] – Trying to target background image? Even when we target other elements it does not work?
Hey Ole,
I've checked your website and it seems that justParallax is being overruled by another script. When you inspect the elements you can see the background position of the image tryng to change but it keeps getting pushed back to position "50% 50%".
I couldn't find which script does this so you'll have to play with that yourself (;
I hope I've been of help.
Kind regards, Martin
Hi! I just install the plugin… and it doesn't seems to influence the selected element…Anything special to do in the HTML or CSS ?
[link removed]
Hey bioniqueultra,
I just checked your webpage and the plugin seemed to do it's work just fine.
What do you expect it to do other than givingthe background a parallax effect?
Kind regards, Martin
I just changed the ID for a CLASS… and it started to work!
I have a client that wants to duplicate the parallax effect at the top of this page where the circles are. There are different elements that move up down or horizontal at the same time when you scroll down.
Thanks Dorys Can your plugin accomplish this.
Hey Dorys,
My apologies for the late comment.
This feature has been requested once but I haven't been able to work on it yet. I will implement this feature when I have time but I'm in a really busy time right now so it might take a while.
Kind regards, Martin
Hi Martin,
great plugin!, However I am having difficulty in targeting more than one element?
On the following site we have a background layer with bg image. Ontop of it we have another div with background image. This layer is called #bg but we can only seem to target the underneath div called ..hero-section-wraphttp://126.96.36.199/~fwxco/
We want to basically make the layer on top move upwards more as we scroll – rather than both the elements move at same time, same speed etc..
Hope this makes sense?
Would appreciate your help.
Hey fireworxcreative,
My apologies for the late comment.
This feature has been requested once but I haven't been able to work on it yet. I will implement this feature when I have time but I'm in a really busy time right now so it might take a while.
Kind regards, Martin
Can you generate a short code with this plugin that would work on a single page, or does it only work for full background images?
Hey Nusserstudios,
Sorry for the (really) late comment.
The plugin will be included on every page. If you want to target a specific element on a specific page you will have to give that element an unique class or id and target that in the settings of the plugin.
I hope this comment was helpful.
Kind regards, Martin
Is this a plugin or just a jQuery?
em hello…do you actually supports this plugin anymore!!!!!!!
how do I have it on just the home page, my home page id is post-27, i entered that into the target and its still on all the pages
Hey Joeydono,
I've been a bit busy lately so I haven't been able to reply that often anymore.
As for your last question. The plugin is called on every page, if you want to target a specific page you should change the paralllax target in the settings so it targets an element which is only present on the page you want the plugin to work on.
I hope this comment was helpful.
Kind regards, Martin
iv entered the target area, doesn't do anything. is there any way to have multiple pictures trigger and certain points when scrolling?
Do you have the page you want to apply the plugin online? If so, could you send me a link in a mail?
This way I can see what's wrong instead of just guessing.
Kind regards, Martin
Hi Martin, I need to use a plugin like this but i need the content (not only the background) to move horizontal. Is this possible with your plugin? Thanks!

MSM cream?
Has anyone tried the cream over joint area? did it help at all? I'm looking for at least reducing some of the inflamation in my fingers without taking drugs. Any one familiar with it? I'd appreciate your experience with it. thanks!
Hi Nancy: My husband has used an MSM cream on his knee for a few nights in a row. I think it's too soon to know if it's going to work. I hope so and I hope it will work for you too!!
I have been rubbing MSM cream with Glucosamine into my knees at night for many months now. I diffentally think it works for me. For some reason, as soon as I shower it off, my knees start in aching more. I rub a good amount back into them, go to bed and they feel good in the AM. I make sure I don't run out of that. 4 oz. costs only $6.38. Not on sale, they say it costs $15.95, but I've never seen it 'off' sale. Good luck.
Hi JeanneMarie: What brand of cream do you use?
Hi Sue.
Puritan is the brand. They say what you rub into your skin, your skin absorbs it, so I figure I must be getting some help from it. I certainly think I do, it's not all in my head....;> ). I don't know if I am being helped by the Glucosamine pills though...but I hate to stop them, to see what happens. I've been riding my recumbent bike now about every day, at least 2 miles or more, and I also feel that is helping my knees. I can't take walking that far, but I can ride and only because I am pushing forward with my knees when riding the recumbent, rather than pushing down on a regular bike. I couldn't take riding a regular bike either. This recumbent cost me a pretty penny, but its well worth it, if it keeps me going, pretty much pain free. If I walk for two miles, I am in alot of pain the next day and that night, actually. I see excercise is the key, but how you do it, makes a big difference. I am convinced this Chrondomalacia is a fancy name for plain ol arthritis in the knee. Jmho.
Thanks JeanneMarie. I stopped taking Glucosamine/Chondroitin pills awhile back and either it's a coincidence or they really helped b/c my right knee is absolutely killing me. It was x-rayed recently and I do have osteoarthritis in it. I may have to start taking Glucosamine pills again, but I wish I knew which brand to get. I'd like a soft capsule and one that isn't humongous. I had been taking one from a health food store and didn't think it was doing much, but now my knee aches like I have a toothache in it. I too ride a recumbent bike. Bextra helps me sometimes and I started taking a liquid fish oil 2 weeks ago. I wish it would help so I could stop the Bextra!! Thanks again. Sue
Hi Sue.
Have you decided to go Glucosamine Sulfate only over the combination of Glucosamine and Chondrotin? Since my doctor told me to only use the GS without the Chrond, I don't know from experience if there is a difference in taking either of them. All I know,I don't trust that Chrondrotin, from what I read, it's from cow cartlidge that is gotten overseas because it's cheaper there, and that's where the mad cow disease is, so I and others avoid it, just for that reason. Maybe you should try the Gluc. Sulfate only and see what you think. I take a large capsule of Gluc Sulf. powder. I got a bottle of 750MG capsules, so they are not as large and I take one in the AM and one at supper time. I did try this from the same place I buy my MSM cream from, but I couldn't take it, because it contained sodium. I then found a health store in my city and I buy locally. It's distributed by Doctor's Best, Inc. Good luck. I hope you get control of your pain. Life becomes a struggle, sometimes. Keep biking.

Serious inflation issues and a host of other negative factors mean that Russia's central bank cannot yet relax its stance on the rouble, the bank's deputy governor said on Monday.
The crisis in Ukraine and its escalation following Russia's annexation of Crimea in March forced the bank to take several emergency measures in reponse to a big rouble sell-off, including increasing the threshold for interventions to $1.5 billion from $350 million before it moves the rouble's floating corridor.
Answering questions from parliamentary deputies about whether the central bank would restore previous parameters guiding its foreign exchange intervention policy, Ksenia Yudaeva indicated that the bank is in no rush to do so.
"We see serious problems with inflation. We see a significant slowdown in the growth of deposits. There are still many indicators that show it is too soon to relax... The interbank market is practically dead, bond issuance has declined, this complicates our monetary policy," she said.
The bank hiked interest rates by 1.5 percentage points in March, with a further half point rise in April, decisions it was forced into in order to quell "an unfounded and irrational panic", Yudaeva said.
In May, the rouble saw a strong rally, bringing it towards the middle range of its corridor, within which the central bank has no need to intervene to support it.
Inflation was 7.3 percent in April and is expected to rise further in May and June, hindering the central bank's medium-term target of reducing inflation to 4 percent. (Reporting by Oksana Kobseva; Writing by Jason Bush; Editing by Louise Ireland)

I was able to speak to some MdesS students. One was about to enter the program. He had a finance background and was looking forward to learning more about design and law.
The other student I met was about to finish the program. He had worked for a few years in Dubai prior to attending the GSD. He was hoping to find a job in London, working on some large scale projects.
Unfortunately, professor Peiser was not at the open house.
I've been accepted to both for a masters in planning but I'm unable to visit either of the schools before I make my decision, which is coming up in a few days. Having talked with several students from both schools, I understand that both are great options but are quite different. Originally, I was set on public transportation. However, as I don't plan on becoming an engineer, I feel the opportunities to make a difference in the field will be limited and am reconsidering my focus.
At this point, I think I want a private sector planning related job, perhaps real estate development or planning consulting. Which school is better for sending graduates into the private sector?
MIT seems to be stronger in giving students quantitative skills, which I think are more attractive to employers; however, many of the graduates go into non-profit or governmental work. How is MIT's private sector alumni network? Also, will my desire to go into the private sector distance me from my classmates? Will it preclude me from departmental camaraderie?
Harvard, on the other hand, seems a bit weaker quantitatively but I think more grads go into the private sector. If this is because they are attractive for their design competencies, I don't think this would matter for me. However, if students are going into non-design private firms, or working in non-design roles in design firms, I think Harvard would prepare me well for finding a career in the private sector. Can anyone speak to the quantitative aspect of Harvard's program and the types of private sector jobs available to Harvard grads?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Although I cannot answer your question Skittles since i haven't attended either - I too am trying to make the same decision -
I too have been admitted at both Harvard and MIT's MUP/MCP planning programs and couldn't visit the Open Houses, making the decision really difficult. From the impressions I could get from online reviews, talking to students and reading the online program requirements - if anyone disagrees with me or has experience otherwise please correct me! - MIT's program seems more established with active faculty members working in different fields (transportation, energy etc...) whereas Harvard's program is more design focused with more practicing practitioners (more locally in the US?). Overall I feel Harvard is the right place to go for anyone seeking a career in design whereas MIT would be the place to go to specialize in a particular field of interest or to work in development internationally.
Seeing as Urban Planning is in part design and in part quantitative, and has so many socio-economic /political aspects, as someone who studied architecture in my undergraduate degree, I am wondering if it makes sense to jump straight into a specialized program like MIT's (in the energy field I was working on) without first getting a more general perhaps design-based background first? Or continue in energy/sustainable urban planning since it seems to be critical in our time and try and gather sufficient understanding of other areas as I go along?
Would be really great to hear some advice from someone with experience with the programs and practice of course!
When I worked in Massachusetts in the 90's I used to get group project work from both Harvard and MIT for my fair town - I have to say that MIT had the most applicable work products and much better than Harvard's
I saw more of a sense of entitlement at Harvard at the time, where MIT students were eager to learn and sopped everything up and spit back a real good document every time
Plus, I think MIT is a lot more fun than Harvard - the parties were better at least, in the 80's anyway
so this may be a get off my lawn post but there it is anyway
bumping this for skittles
Moderator note:
Threads Merged
Harvard's program has improved a lot since the mid-90s--they've made some great hires, and a real effort to cultivate a more open & accessible culture for the MUPs. That said, having been to both open houses in the fall and the DUSP open house last week (didn't have time for both), these are my thoughts:
- How prepared are you to commit a lot of time to studio? At MIT, you can do as much or as little design/studio work as you'd like; at Harvard, it seemed to take about 50% of the students' time. If you're into that, it's great--the students I talked to at Harvard loved it--but if there's a chance it won't be for you, go to MIT.
- Since so many MIT students have substantial RA-ships in order to pay their bills, they spend a lot more time researching and a lot less time networking/holding outside internships than Harvard students might. A + or a - depending on how interested you are in research, and what your financial aid package was.
- On that note, there is a lot more interesting research being done at MIT, period, and it seems better connected to the rest of the university. It made it feel like a more exciting place, and I think it's also great in the sense that it's probably easier to find thesis advisors who really fit your interests. BUT, this does of course depend on what you're interested in--I'd check the research of professors at both schools, and figure out who's doing things you find fascinating. If you really like theory, for example, you might want to go to Harvard and work with Neil Brenner. If you're into public transportation, check out Zegras at MIT.
- The professors I talked to at both schools were generally quite friendly and fun to talk with.
- Gund is a really interesting building, but it also feels a bit cramped...I found MIT had just as much character and was an open, brighter, more pleasant atmosphere (great student lounge, for example), though it doesn't have the same buzz/hum of energy as the GSD. After visiting in the fall, I favored the GSD in terms of where I'd want to spend time, but after hanging out at MIT all day last week, I discovered lots of cool spaces that changed my mind--I really like the CDD headquarters, for example.
- The students at each school actually felt very similar to me, in terms of interests, backgrounds, political leanings, etc. I was impressed by students in both schools, but I would say that the Harvard students seemed a bit more consistently polished in their self-presentation, and also seemed a bit closer in age (it seemed to me that there were more married and/or older students at DUSP, though they are a minority). And Skittles, going into the private sector is definitely not going to be an issue at either school; there is a mix of future careers, from management consulting to labor activists, at DUSP and they all seemed quite close-knit.
- Teaching quality is similar at both schools and perhaps slightly more consistent at Harvard (I think because it is smaller), but there are great classes to be taken at both schools, and since you can cross-register and shop around, I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to weed out poorly-reviewed courses.
- It's possible to graduate from DUSP in three semesters, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible at the GSD (unless you're doing an approved dual). Just an FYI, if cost/time savings are very important.
- DUSP's MCP program is just insanely flexible. You can test out of core classes like stats, econ, and GIS, or you can sub those classes with ones taken elsewhere if it's better for your schedule. The program groups don't matter much; you can basically take whatever classes you want beyond the core, so long as you do a practicum and complete a thesis. And the thesis can be traditional, media-based, a client-project...there's a bunch of different options there, too. This can all be a positive if it fits your personality, but if you're looking for more structure and handholding, it is definitely NOT the place for you.
- Employment outlook seems pretty good at both schools. MIT DUSP has a better reputation among those in the know, but if you're looking for a job somewhere where people don't know much about planning schools, perhaps the Harvard brand would give an advantage.
- Some of the professors bring their dogs to DUSP. I saw no dogs at the GSD. You know, just saying
Hope this is helpful, if you're still deliberating! I unfortunately won't have much time to check back here in the next week, but good luck choosing! I'm sure you'll be happy either way.
ozjohnson thanks so much for your extensive reply!
After a lot of online research, reading reviews and talking to both professors and current students at both Harvard and MIT, I decided to go for MIT.
I think the program is more diverse and more in line with my interest in international development, energy and technology as related to planning. I'm hoping it was the right choice, I'm sure both programs are great though for anyone who went/is going to the GSD (especially if you are more interested in design) and thanks to everyone who chipped in towards this decision!
Thank you all for the input. It was a difficult decision but I went for MIT. I hope it was the right choice!
I'm sure you will have a great experience. I had 3 professors who went to MIT and they were among the most brilliant and creative thinkers I have studied with.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose
Hello All,
I realize I'm almost three years late to the party, but I've been fortunately admitted into MIT's City Planning and Harvard's Urban Planning programs.
Both have offered me a tuition fellowship which covers 50% of tuition costs for both years with an additional research assistantship at Harvard. My first choice was MIT initially, but now that I have both to choose from, the decision has become increasingly difficult.
To those who have chosen MIT over Harvard, are you glad that you did? What are you doing now?
I would appreciate any sort of help whatsoever!!

Deborah Danner struggled with mental illness. That's no reason to be fatally shot by police.
When Sgt. Hugh Barry entered Danner's Bronx apartment on Tuesday, he was able to persuade her to put down a pair of scissors. But when the 66-year-old woman approached him with a baseball bat, he appeared to violate protocol and went to the deadliest option — his gun. The sergeant previously was accused in two lawsuits of civil rights violations.
Both Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner James O'Neill condemned the shooting and asked why the sergeant hadn't used a stun gun or waited for a specialized unit with experience in negotiations, for example, as dictated by protocol. O'Neill said the department had "failed" Tuesday night. The officer was put on modified duty. We commend O'Neill for his forthrightness.
The NYPD responds to tens of thousands of these difficult situations every year. In a reminder of the dangerous nature of the job, de Blasio and O'Neill addressed a memorial ceremony on Thursday for two officers killed in 2015, one chasing a suspect, the other shot in his patrol car.
Once again we are left with a civilian fatality that also never should have happened.
Danner's death is sadly similar to that of Eleanor Bumpurs in 1984, killed by an officer's shotgun blast. There was a similar outcry of protest after her death, but attempts at reform were slow. The NYPD caught up with the national model last year when it began teaching officers to respond to those in distress with Crisis Intervention Training. Of about 36,000 officers, 4,397 have been trained. Sgt. Barry was not one of them.
To ensure safety, the city should do more to properly handle mental health emergencies by pairing civilian professionals with police. Just five such teams were established in 2015. With police alone now bearing the brunt of that difficult dual role, officers need to be trained. The NYPD must accelerate the pace of mental health training, and re-examine protocols to prevent this kind of tragedy. And to make sure the rules are followed, officers violating them should be held accountable.

There's a lot of misunderstandings when it comes to Community Acupuncture and the practice of acupuncture, so today we're going to try and clarify what is True and what isn't.
Myth 1 - Community Acupuncture cost less therefore its a lower grade treatment
At Wuji Xuan Life Wellness' community acupuncture clinic, our clients receive the same standard of professional treatments as a standard private acupuncture session, the ONLY difference is the client usually receives additional modalities (such as cupping, gua sha and tuina) to augment the acupuncture treatment. Another words, in a community acupuncture session, you would receive a customized treatment while the private acupuncture treatment, you'll get a fully personalized treatment with acupuncture with additional complimentary methods and modalities to get the most out of a single session.
The reason why community acupuncture costs less is due to economies of scale. Being able to treat multiple patients allows us to lower the overall cost per person without diminishing the effectiveness of each individual's personalized session.
Please NOTE** We cannot speak for other clinics or guarantee the quality of other clinics or practitioners.
Myth 2 - in acupuncture you have to use the needle near the area of concern
There are multiple schools/systems in acupuncture and the acupuncturist is often related to their own studies and apprenticeships beyond the minimum requirements of regulatory examination.
While we agree that localized treatments can provide relief, sometimes, we find treatments needling the arms and legs can deliver better results because it can work on multiple issues fully utilizing the meridian channels, five elements, and other factors that can relate to a particular issue.
Myth 3 - all acupuncture treatments are the same
Acupuncturists, like any profession, have different levels of expertise. Talk to your acupuncturist to get a sense of what they really understand. If they can't explain beyond direct correlation of symptom to point then you may need to think twice. The difference between an average acupuncturist and a great acupuncturist lie in their ability to understand Traditional Chinese Medicine theories and ability to utilize them towards customized a more holistic treatment for the patients.
Got more myths in mind?
Leave us comments on what you are wondering and we'll answer your questions in the our myth busting article. Or come see us in person and experience the difference yourself. Book your next appointment today!

The Gutterman Griffiths Difference
Gutterman Griffiths is the premier family law firm in Colorado. The difference is in the breadth and depth of our combined experience.
A Proven Track Record
The firm has a proven record of providing excellent representation to families in transition. Attorneys at the firm bring diverse and distinguished professional and educational backgrounds to the practice of family law, allowing the firm to provide each client with the skill set that best meets their particular needs. The experience that we bring to family law cases ranges from business and securities law, to executive compensation, trusts, insurance defense, real estate, medical devices, and child welfare, just to name a few.
Different Options for Different Cases
In addition, attorneys at Gutterman Griffiths are well versed in providing a broad range of legal options to its clients. From litigation, to collaboration, to negotiation and mediation, our attorneys are skilled in making sure that the client's desired process is addressed at the highest level. The firm's attorneys work together to ensure that each client's needs are met. Weekly meetings by the firm's attorneys result in highly dynamic and well informed strategies that are exceedingly difficult to beat. Each case is assigned to attorneys best suited for the challenges based on the specific facts of the case and the needs of that particular client.
The Technological Edge
Gutterman Griffiths has invested in the latest available technological resources, which are used to the advantage of our clients by keeping the firm's workforce efficient and highly productive, giving the firm an edge in communications with clients and preparation of trial exhibits and spreadsheets, and assisting in providing clear insight into the thinking of the opposition. The net result is an attention to detail that is critical for the lead attorneys, yet cost effective.
Collective Experience is the Key
The goal of Gutterman Griffiths is to help clients who are facing the significant emotional and financial challenges of divorce to live productive and satisfying lives. To support that goal, the firm believes that operational efficiency is essential, since litigation can prove to be prohibitively expensive at times. The secret to success at Gutterman Griffiths is that the firm's collective knowledge, experience and legal research are quickly applied to the circumstances of each case. Then a strategy is chosen and implemented, which is backed up by the attorneys, paralegals and staff. Gutterman Griffiths understands the players and experts in the marketplace. The firm's constant interaction with local appraisers, judges, social workers, parent evaluators, investigators, process servers, private judges, mediators, forensic accountants, other law firms, and the system itself, allows for the best understanding of how the legal process is likely to progress.
Gutterman Griffiths has the team required to successfully manage the most complex cases. Whether the case requires an intricate asset investigation, or whether it involves high conflict child issues, it is our experience that makes the difference.

Hey, I'm back again. I loved doing the Free reading in phone calls. I'm going to ask for your opinion , given this is your forum for free reading's. What would you rather do. Come here and read an answer or have a free call? For 13 years I've been doing them on site so it seems like im going against a promise i made to someone. I had a client named Judy who i truly loved. She would always tell me i could never ever stop doing the free readings. Several years ago she died from Cancer. I always loved her, but I think the fact that she wrote me every single day while I had cancer years ago , even if it was just a sentence or two to touch base, just pushed it over the edge . She was diagnosed sometime in April, but it was too Late, by June she was gone. So i will never stop doing the readings, id just like to change it up a bit. To keep the same structure you could still send in one question, or now one area of focus, have your name and include your phone number and whether or not you would be free for a call on that Sunday or not and the times available. Id come here and announce who it was . Lets see if that works.
Oh, the header….. someone spammed me 300 times lol… imagine having to delete that !!! love Adena

I purchased this wall decal from Urban Outfitters a month ago, and I'm still in love with it. My room's teeny (I don't even have a real closet!), but with small touches like this, I don't mind very much... sometimes, haha. I have strategically placed birds on my light switch and bed frame as well.
PN and I have been taking advantage of half-off Tuesdays at the movie theatres. We watched Transformers 3 last week in 3D.. I seriously hate 3D. Waste of my moneys, :(. It was okay. Rosie Huntington is pretty and all that, but she was pretty much useless in the entire film. Anyone else agree?

Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti Ratings and Reviews
We arrived at 7:35, had reservations at 7:45, but were not seated until after 8:20. Then another 10 minutes before the waiter approached the table. From there, things changed for the better.
Cold food came out cold, hot food was hot, and all came promptly. The wine too.
So they must have overbooked because of the Christmas holiday, I get it. However a little more attention to us up front would have been nice.
Our waitperson took forever and never showed up. Another waitier did and apologized for the issue. I appreciated the waiter's move.
We order 3 items to share and the Mussels were recommendd by the waiter after he told us they were "plump"
While the other 2 items were excellent(Diver Scallops and a Tuna Ceviche) the Mussels were terrible.
We advised the waiter and he took the Mussels away.
When I gt the bill there wasn't even an adjustment and further there was no offer for a dessert or a replacement, nothing.
I frequent good restaurants 2-4 times a week, so I am no stranger to the scene.
This is not an issue of monetary value, it's one that speaks volume about how the venue disregards the patron.
Very disappointed,. I will not return
The grilled octopus was expertly cooked and served, but the fried calamari was not crisply fried and it was served sodden, and mixed up with weird things like chopped, pickled peppers and goat cheese. Which was shame since the squid itself was very good.
The salmon was good, the branzino - could have been better.
The service was excellent - attentive, but not overbearing, with helpful suggestions.
Glad they moved us-we had an early reservation, looking forward to being able to chat (three brothers and wives from different cities-together for Thanksgiving weekend.
They placed us in a room with girls (having a good time but very loud) hard to have a conversation. So I had to ask to be moved-shouldn't need to ask-a great restaurant would realize the noise level of other tables and act accordingly.
A must-eat place in Philadelphia. Absolutely loved Positano Coast. The dining room is fresh and clean, with plenty of room between tables and great views down onto the sidewalks below. The bread that came reminded me of my Italian grandmother's bread-- thick crust outside, soft inside. the grilled artichoke salad was wonderful. A nice mix of radicchio & arugula with a nice homemade dressing, sea salt and of course charred grilled artichoke hearts. We had the crab cake and the grilled seafood (scallop, head-on shrimp, octopus) and none of it disappointed. I only wish I had room for dessert... a reason to come back again.
Wonderful food combinations and selections, very creative food. The food is plated with such care and design. And all of our selections were delicious !
There was a DJ in the bar the Sunday we were there. So the noise level was quite high.
The service was so so.The waiter was so busy that he forgot us. But I will say, once I brought the issue up to the manager she apologized and treated us to dessert and tea! She was very gracious! And she was going to find out why we had this experience. So this is a good thing! She is an active manager and a problem solver!
I would highly recommend this restaurant ! The food was extraordinary!
We enjoyed a wedding shower in the private room a couple years back thought we would enjoy a friends gathering service was horrible extremely noisy food good portions small. Couldn't have a conversation with the person sitting next to me forget the seven others we asked to be moved, they would not accommodate .
I was very disappointed in the food. Especially the enntr' that I was served. I had the bronzino and the preparation and sauce was very mediocre. Our waiter was good and the service was good But I would not recommend the restaurant. It was also very expensive.
Our party of four had a good dinner experience and even though one diner was disappointed in the amount of gnocchi in the cioppino the staff quickly replaced the meal with delicious salmon. Two of us had the veal tenderloin and it was delicious.
Convenient location for Ritz 5 movie and good service allowed plenty of time to get there on time.
Place is big and though we were 30mins late they were able to accommodate us quickly. The entrance is a bit tricky and they could do more to help non-Philly natives find their way easier. The food was delish and very reasonably priced but our waiter was terrible. He rarely checked in on us to refill our mimosa's (we had paid for bottomless) and when he'd bring the new jug he'd just set it on the table (vs. pouring it for us). Maybe I'm just being a nasty New Yorker but good service is a must for me to do a repeat somewhere.
The service was not great. Granted they had a lot of parties happening at once. We experienced a cracked cup, multiple requests for condiments, slow service, an initial wait for a server to come to the table, multiple people servicing our tables. There was just an overall impression like no one was managing the dining room or staff that day.
My family went here for my birthday. We were hoping to sit in the back room that opened to the outside but there was a private party. So we were in the front room. Everything was delicious. The service was great and everyone totally enjoyed their meals. I made for a great birthday and they even gave me a special dessert.

Note 1: BEER dev fund status: 21% (~USD 4200). We need USD 20k.Note 2: BEER is non-photorealistic OpenGL renderer for Blender.Note 3: Meeting via FB group PM
Render passes, render layer & compositing
Current Blender Internal (BI) & Cycles design:
BEER does all of that in one go in GLSL.(If you understand how GLSL works, skip this part.)
Where will Freestyle or contour shader be with BEER?Line post effect will be a layer of post effect. Calculation will be more isolated (smaller) and hence better performance.
Is render pass (post effect) just another shader layer?Yes. It works just like adjustment layer in Photoshop.
Where is render layer?The whole process resembles the whole render layer to compositing workflow. The only difference, in BEER we can composite before it reach rastering stage. Thus we can remove render layer altogether.
We need render layer (in BI & Cycles) because we need layers for compositing in the first place. If compositing is done "between" shader layers, render layer is ancient relic. We don't need it in BEER.
The really difficult part is making the arrows in the diagram work.
TL;DR: Composite everywhere. No render layer. Render passes on every shader layer. Post effects on render pass is a shader layer.
Next week's topic: How to split BEER & related works? Avoid 4 year plan, build the core in 1 year or less.

HAZLETON, Iowa (AP) - Every Sunday here in Amish country, bearded men, up at dawn, load their horse-drawn buckboards with benches for worship services. The women, wearing dark, ankle-length dresses and white bonnets, pack the food and other items for the day's big meal.
As for the Amish teen-agers, many of them have their own ritual, too.
They drink.
``Sunday night is a party night for them,'' Sheriff Leonard Davis said. ``It's pretty much beer and whiskey - a liquid diet.''
When calls come in on Friday and Saturday nights about underage drinking in this part of Iowa, Davis and his deputies find that the incidents almost always involve non-Amish, or ``Englishers,'' as the Amish call them.
When the calls come in on Sundays, however, deputies know they will probably be busting up beer bashes involving children of Old Order Amish families who have no electricity, motor vehicles or other modern conveniences. The locals call them ``hook-and-eye Dutch,'' because they won't use buttons or zippers to fasten their clothing, only little metal hooks.
Hazleton, population 700, is home to about 400 Amish, whos trim farmsteads, located on a maze of narrow gravel roads, dot the lush, gently rolling landscape blessed with rich, black soil. A total of about 150,000 Amish live in 22 states and Canada.
``Hazleton is known, at least among the Amish, as being the most strict community in the state,'' said Linda Egenes, a journalism instructor at Maharishi University in Fairfield who has completed a book on Amish family life in Iowa.
That made it even more of a jolt to the community when on March 14, up to 40 Amish teens went on a rampage against one of their own.
Just after midnight that Sunday, Amish teens vandalized Roman Raber's farmstead. As his family huddled in fear inside, vandals broke 44 windows, destroyed three doors, overturned two buggies and damaged curtains, antiques, a lamp and mirrors.
Numerous alcohol-related citations were issued and deputies charged four Amish teen-agers with criminal mischief. They pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Ms. Egenes said that, generally, ``young Amish people are allowed to flirt with worldly ways, somewhat, and within reason'' during their late teens when they are allowed to drive a horse and buggy. The wordly ways might involve dancing, drinking and dating.
``In Pennsylvania German, the Amish call it `Rum Springa,' which literally means `running around,''' she said. ``But what happened in Hazleton, I would say this definitely presents a problem. It would be considered to be way out of line.''
In Hazleton, Amish parents worry about the drinking among their children.
``There's been some of it before. You talk to them, you definitely do. Everyone's got problems. If you don't work on your problems ...,'' Eli Raber said from his front porch before shrugging and going back inside. He would not say whether he was related to Roman Raber.
Rudy Gingerich, 76, joining other Amish men and women for lunch at the Prairie Grove Public School, said the episode was an embarrassment for the community.
``It is kind of getting out of hand,'' he said, clutching a fistful of forks while making his way to the school. ``I don't know why it is happening. I can't tell you. The kids kind of got a mind of their own.''
Maurice ``Tex'' Pentecost, 64, who has befriended dozens of Amish teens in the Hazleton area over the years, said they generally are ``good kids.''
``I put up 627 bales of hay last week and a bunch of them came over to help and didn't charge me nothing,'' Pentecost said. ``Drinking up here has been going on for years. These kids' parents and grandparents did it. They didn't raise hell like this bunch, but it's nothing new. These kids, they're very regretful of what they did.''
CoeAnn Cornish, who is not Amish but lives with her husband, Mark, in the midst of Hazleton's Amish settlement, said that a few weeks ago, a group of Amish teens who had been drinking pulled up in their yard and started yelling and ``being a nuisance.'' They knocked over a kerosene barrel before her husband chased them off.
``For the most part, they're good kids. I wouldn't trade my neighbors for anybody,'' Ms. Cornish said. ``But this drinking and vandalism is bringing a lot of tension around here.''

Hi, I'm using the default.po file from the most recent (6/23/12) version of propulsion to make a French translation. However, the strings for the email contact form are missing, so I assume the files containing the following fields weren't scanned: Name, E-Mail, Subject, Priority, Low, Medium, High, Urgent as Hell, ASAP DUDE!!!, Message. Could you please rebuild default.po to pick up these strings? Thanks.
Hi robertstrauss,
I believe you set the names of the fields in the contact form via the Theme Options>Contact so you would just need to rebuild the form using French and name them whatever you like.

One student at Cobram Secondary College is doing her part to raise money for leukaemia by deciding to shave off all of her hair.
Stephanie Humphries has decided to take part in this year's Worlds Greatest Shave in memory of her grandfather, who died from the disease two years ago.
''It is obviously a horrible disease, and it has affected not only my family, but heaps of others so to try and raise some money to help fight it just made sense,'' Stephanie said.
She said her fundraising efforts had been going well so far with the donation tins that had been set up at Ritchies IGA in Cobram a big success.
''To be honest I am not too sure how much I have raised so far, and I don't really have a goal,'' she said.
''I am just trying to raise as much as I possibly can.''
Stephanie said she had been in contact with Strathmerton Lions Club to possibly raise some more money and a casual clothes day at Cobram Secondary College was also going to be used to get extra funds.
The hair cutting will take place at Cobram Secondary College on Thursday, March 16 with a local hairdresser doing the deed.
''I think I might also auction off individual cuts to other students if they are interested,'' Stephanie said.

Hi Fellows!!
Today I am going to talk about men fashion. After all, they need fashion advice too 😛 Well, well, well,T-shirts are the most versatile item in men's wardrobe ! When done right, T-shirts for men are the most casual way of looking put together. A US Polo T-shirt is a classic that you can easily grab from your wardrobe when you have to rush for a meeting at the office , or when you are going out with your friend, or for when you're out on a date. With a few steps you can slot in a T-shirt into nearly every aspect of your look. Here is a summary of different ways you can style your T-shirt.
The Basic
It is a classic and clean look. It doesn't get easier than pairing a T-shirt with khaki chinos. This is your every day casual outfit. Boot it up with a pair of loafers and a fedora, and you are good to go 😉
The Dapper Look
Take your classic US polo and wear it under your blazer. But for that you need to make sure it has got a stronger collar. Button down collars help. Add aviator's and loafers to bring out the Dapper in you.
Short It Out
What can be a better partner for a T-shirt then shorts. But make sure you never ever tuck them in. In fact this is the only rule to be followed with tees is to never tuck them in. A great solid pair of shorts or plaids or striped can really work well.
Retro Style
Style them with colored pants for that retro look. The color will brighten everything up on a summer day. Be fearless and carry of the look with flamboyance.
If you want to look good but not boring, then pair your polo with a jacket. Go for beige, grey and black T-shirt and your favorite denim and you're good to go. You can add some light colors with your polo T-shirt too if you want. Flaunt a classic watch on your wrist to complete the look.
Remember, the key to wearing a T-shirt is versatility– it's a timeless item that can work in numerous situations and seasons.
Are you usually found in a T-shirt during the summer or do you opt for something different?
Let me know in the comments section…

In 1870 George Green, the founder of the town of Lincoln, named it after Lincoln County, which had received its name in honor of the President, Abraham Lincoln. A U.S. Census was taken in 1870, and the population was listed at 516. Lincoln then qualified for a separate county, having been a part of Ottawa County until then.

Hooray! Perhaps you've heard... Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States! I really didn't have enough faith in my fellow country men and women to pick the right person for the job.. but WE DID IT! It proves the point that Bill Maher brought up last night, that we as a nation can "bounce back." Yeah, we fucked up the last 8 years, but now we're turning a new page. If you didn't watch Real Time With Bill Maher last night, you should be sure to check out the best part- an homage paid to the annoying people we will no longer have to deal with now that Obama was elected president. Behold- "A Farewell to Douchebags":
Peace out, douchies! And how it's time to cover what is clearly the most important concern facing our nation: which dog will Barack Obama adopt to be the new White House pup!? EVERYONE and their mother is pondering this question. So- we know they want a shelter dog, and we know they want it to be hypo-allergenic. No problem dude! Pancake herself is a shelter dog, and because she is half poodle, she is hypo-allergenic. It's really not hard to meet those requirements. Here's a whole list of dogs that are hypo-allergenic. But don't worry Barack, I know you're probably too busy now to figure this out so I've got your back. I've found you and the girls the perfect hypo-allergenic dog to adopt from the DC Shelter Washington Animal Rescue League. She's even got the perfect name for your new home. Obamas, meet Miss White!
Saturday, November 8, 2008
Obama Won.. blah blah... On to the Puppeh!

This ship was a 307 gross, 261 net ton wooden-hulled sidewheel steamer built in 1884 at Camden, NJ. She was 129.6 feet in length, 26 feet in beam and 7.5 feet in depth of hold, and had a single cylinder steam engine with a 28 inch bore and a 72 inch stroke.
In 1900, the Safford was in passenger service in Florida, operated by the Gulf S.B. Co. Her home port at that time was Cedar Keys. In 1908, her home port changed to New York. She had a crew of 10 when she foundered at Bogue Inlet. No lives were lost.
