Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
A week that began with Yahoo's $1.1 billion deal for Tumblr got even stranger this morning with Amazon Publishing's announcement of Kindle Worlds, billed as the first commercial publishing platform for fan fiction. In short, fanfic writers can now earn royalties for certain corporate-sanctioned stories.
For the launch, Amazon Publishing has secured licenses from Alloy Entertainment, the book-packaging division of Warner Bros. Television, for Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl, Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars and L.J. Smith's The Vampire Diaries — all bestselling young-adult series that have spawned hit television shows. More licenses are expected to be announced soon.
While that initial offering is limited in scope, Amazon clearly has big plans for Kindle Worlds, which it touts as "a place for you to publish fan fiction inspired by popular books, shows, movies, comics, music, and games." If Warner Bros. is willing to open the door to "official" fanfic for its YA cash cows, how long before writers are encouraged to tackle DC Comics' superheroes (or at least TV properties like Smallville and Arrow)?
Plenty of creators, publishers and studios have embraced fan fiction — The CW's Supernatural has based episodes around it, and in Japan it's practically its own industry — but this may be the first time rights-holders have attempted to profit from it, at least on a large scale.
As Amazon Publishing breaks it down in today's announcement, for works of at least 10,000 words, authors will receive 35 percent of net revenue (based on sales price rather than the standard, but lower, wholesale), paid monthly. There will also be an experimental program for shorter works, between 5,000 and 10,000 words, which will be typically priced under $1; the author will receive a digital royalty of 20 percent.
Licensors will provide content guidelines for each "World," which must be followed; in addition, Amazon won't allow pornography, offensive content (including racial slurs and excessive foul language), "poor customer experience" (including poorly formatted stories and misleading titles), excessive use of brand names, or crossovers.
This is the path by which commercial prose publishing become indistinguishable from comics long history of predatory WFH contracts.
If Siegel and Schuster were alive today, and DC Entertainment had a deal like this for the DCU, Jerry and Joe could do a story about a new character called "Superman" who lives in that setting, get paid a percentage for the sales of that story… and then Warner could exploit the character in radio serials, TV shows, movies, video games, action figures, and underwear without paying them anything more.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, eh?
Except that Siegel and Shuster would have worldwide exposure thanks to the Internet. Fans would know who they are and what they wrote and drew. Then they could run off to Image or IDW or Dark Horse and create their own properties which they own 100%. I'm not saying work-for-hire is fair; it's not and never will be. But anything on Kindle Worlds will open doors outside of WFH for creators looking for paying gigs that they can put on their resumes and use to help them get their creator-owned work published elsewhere.
One the one hand, it could present a great opportunity to discover some great writers and be much cheaper and less 'vote'em off the island'-ish than some contest. On the other hand, I would have to read the agreement very closely if I were going to participate, as I my first question would be, "who is the actually owner of the work?" I mean, WB's characters, my words and scenarios, at the end of the day who has the ownership of the overall piece? If this gets opened up to DC properties, things could get interesting.
"If this gets opened up to DC properties, things could get interesting." 100% agreed. It's going out of left field here, but look at what being a 7th place loser on American Idol did for Jennifer Hudson's career. She won an Oscar. Any entertainment company that offers aspiring talent a chance to show off their skills is going to inadvertently create a few superstars in the process of exploiting their work. Ed Brubaker created the Winter Soldier and he gets zero $$$ for Marvel Studios use of both the story and the character in Captain America 2. But he walks out of that situation having made a very big name for himself that opens all kinds of doors for him to create properties he owns 100% and doesn't have to share with anybody.
We're only speaking hypothetically, of course, and the legal teams @ WB/DC may never allow DC properties to be farmed out to Kindle Worlds. Still, even the possibility itself is rife with opportunities for amateur creators aspiring to go pro. There's more upside for aspiring talent than down in this as I see it.
Guys, come on. No one is going to "discover great new writers" because no one is going to pay for this stuff. Seriously, if it's free, that's one thing, but I really can't see individual sales being a factor for any of the writers. The rights holders will make a little off every sale, so why should they care? The fanfic writers will get on facebook and peddle their work as if it was a real actual thing, and sell some copies to their Mum and Auntie Viv, and the rights holder will get paid for every sale made… but would even the biggest fan of a property spend actual money picking up random work by writers they don't know? I think this is a good move for rights holders who aren't that particular about diminishing their brand because it allows them to monitize something that is happening anyway, and that they don't have to pay to create, but that's about all it is.
Just use existing characters and don't do stories that alter the status quo.
Those are usually the same criteria as writing a comic book/tv series-based novel.
And don't forget, Kindle Worlds lets you play in someone else's sandbox. This is licensed material that you're allowed to use, this is very different thans a Siegel and Schuster WFH deal, no new character development is needed. If you choose to create your own characters for use in this scenario, you are probably giving it away.
Ohh snaaaappp! Time to dust up my unfinished 50K Clark/Chloe fanfic!
Certainly a positive more than a negative
Why do this? I think it's a mix of Amazon seeking more untapped talent laced with a bit of exploitation. Their previous move of helping some get published online was a cool move and they want to build on that. Some good will come of it.
Obviously its also motivated by the success of 50 Shades, which was previously a fan fic. I feel they should give writers a better deal though, as it seems like the rich exploiting the poor at times. Yes, you may get a deal and more exposure, but be sure to read the small print before signing.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. Warner Bros. is very vigilant with their IPs. They cut out DVD bootleg auctions by putting up the Warner Archive. Now they're out to regulate fan fiction to make their properties look good. Keep up the good work, Warner. Cleaning up the Internet community from scumbag fandoms.
How do you sign up for this?
"but would even the biggest fan of a property spend actual money picking up random work by writers they don't know?"
Sure, why not?
People are always trying original books and stories by writers they don't know, so why wouldn't they also try something featuring a character they love by a writer they don't know? How many comic or movie fans have been familiar with every single writer or director who has tackled their favorite characters? I sincerely doubt the audience for Fraction's Invincible Iron Man was made up solely of people who were fans of Rex Mantooth.
Fans are always giving new writers a chance if those writers are working on their favorite characters. I've bought novels by authors I've never heard of just because they were novels based on my favorite comic characters, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I could easily see lots of people browsing the Kindle Worlds section on their Kindle, seeing something featuring their favorite character, and paying the few bucks it costs to read it.
If you're worried about signing away the rights to your original creations, then don't use your original creations. The late, great Mark Gruenwald had a philosophy that if you had a story in mind and needed a character for something, it was better dust off an old one instead of creating a new one. If Kindle Worlds does get the right to license stories featuring comic characters, there is an almost-limitless supply of characters that could be used for these stories. I guarantee you any villain a potential writer might create for a potential Batman story will not be so original that the story couldn't work with a pre-existing character.
This could both be a great way for underused or abused characters to get some more exposure, as well as unknown writers getting their name out there, while still making money. Is there an exploitation aspect to it? Yes, but isn't there also an exploitation aspect to all work-for-hire agreements?

A friend lent me a French graphic novel by Joann Sfar because it sems as if the 'Rabbi's Cat' is modelled on our own -- and what a charming wee piece it is.
Here's just a few frames.
The cat looks like Schrodinger's Cat, with light gray color.ReplyDelete
Better the rabbi's cat than Mohammed's favourite wife, eh.
Still, I'm sure the Archbishop of Canterbury can explain away the fire-bombing.
It's a French comic^Hgraphic novel that's written partly in Dutch and partly in English, no French?ReplyDelete
Yes, like Tintin and Asterix it's obviously been translated a few times.

Re-watched the movie yesterday (for like the 3th time) xD
Loved it!!!

Well it's snowing in Colorado, so she ain't done yet
Well Elsa you got two Oscars. I imagine that's satisfactory.
I am now imaging where Elsa does the scene where Anna is frozen and she starts crying, but instead of thawing Anna she then says "Can I have my Oscar now?"
plot twist: elsa was actually leonardo di caprio who using costume
I could care less weather she thaws the us or not. it never snows where I live. THAW MY CITY ELSA!!!!!!!!
I love how fitting their expressions are. I think some of the panels should have been flipped horizontally, though, to make the conversation seem more continuous (with Anna facing right and Elsa facing left or something like that).
lol ^^

aww, I really wanted to talk you but I guess you have other thing to do.

Well, that explains why it didn't snow last night! Congrats to Frozen for winning TWO Oscars! :cheers:
So THAT's why it didn't snow today. XD
I love jokes like this.
Yeah...I had snow on Oscars night, so...don't know what Elsa was thinkin' then. XD
She's taking a victory lap.
Holy shit, that last panel made me laugh

The incorporation of technological improvements from the physical into the biological sciences has led to rapid advances in medicine. One such accomplishment was the introduction of stainless steel wire as a suture material. This material affords greater strength than the organic sutures and also has the advantage of eliciting a lesser foreign-body reaction. However, there are problems accompanying the use of wire sutures, such as breaking at the knot and difficulty of tying, due to the rigidity of the metal. To resolve these problems and at the same time improve the use of wire sutures, the authors have investigated another engineering technique, wire welding.
The project to develop welded wire sutures began six years ago with bench tests to determine and confirm the parameters controlling welded sutures. The parameters investigated included wire composition, size, and tension; weld current pulse; electrode contact pressure; and effect of body fluid. The most sensitive

does this game make anyone else want to punch themselves in the face?
I HATE this game. Its not fun. Its way too hard on easy. The control makes me want to punch myself in the face. Even with the megashot upgrade. I havent even beat the first level on easy. Maybe its me but this game sucks.
Hahaha actually is very funny when you see your controller flying around your room crashing on to the floor :O.
I gave up pasing this game on HARD SOLO, i will wait until some buddys want to see something in 3D :O
My controller so far has gone across the room on a suprise trip only once. It's actually not as bad as you would think once you get the hang of the controls. I have the Hard achievement and the Mine achievements (two of 'em) to unlock yet, and I may wait until I get a rapid fire controller, test the rubber band theory, or buy an arcade fighter stick, whcih I should get anyhow as I love fighting games :D
Ugh, I got one stage to go until I get the achievement for beating all the stages on hard difficulty and it's pissing me off (Ghostly Gunfight or whatever the last stage is called). I get right to the last skeleton fight before the checkpoint, or the bats literally right before the checkpoint and die. I need a 2nd person to do this! Hopefully the fiancee will drag her ass out of bed soon and help me out with it...
yeah if I had a turbo controller it MIGHT make me play this game again. I hate this game.
No, this game makes me want to punch the face of whoever made the game. And their entire family. While I'm wearing brass knuckles wrapped in barbed wire.
Great, don't tell me I going to regret picking this game up yesterday. At least it was a used copy.
abuse. :)
t-i wonder what gamepro and egm gave this piece of junk game!
I have 1 achievement in this game and I think it will be the only 1. this is so bad they could have called it earth defense force 2. only worse
Wow, I was gonna rent this game....guess not lol!
It would be very mean if you´re not letting me join you on this.
So I'm gathering I should send it back to gamefly before I even put it in my Xbox?
i started the game in hard solo thinking it will be easy i beat the first big crab easily in the begining, after that i got destroyed try 10 more times, **** that i put the game on easy. WTF the aiming is way too sensitive
Edit: WOW THE LAST ****** STAGE AFTER THE CHECKPOINT IS HORRIBLE ITS WAY TO CHEAP. HOW THE **** DO YOU BEAT THAT ******* CRAP.
I would say to anyone thinking about playing this game to have a MINIMUM of 2 people playing at once. I tried to do it by myself and couldn't beat the first level without dying.
I invited 3 people over for a game nite and we still didnt get past the 2nd stage,complete BS! I finally got the single shot achevo with 4 players there
is just no way in hell I'm gonna get past all the levels without dying or even beat
it on hard. I just like my home too much and I'm sure to rake up the property
damage if I continue trying to play this piece of crap game.
i know this is old but when i play this i want to commit suicide.:mad:
So Much Anger!!! None of my friends want anything to do with this game and I can not blame them.I am cashing out at 730 points :mad:
I got a few achievements out of this game but the controls were awful. I sent it back to GameFly. Plus I didn't have anyone to help run through it.
I got 20 of 20 achievements by mylself. at first i didnt beleive that one guy that said you could do it alone. but after many failures i eventually beat it. it wasn't as bad as i though it would be. still terrible controls...
Gee I bought this game thinking it would be an easy completing but after reading all the forum posts I'm unsure if I really want to start this game. Good thing I only paid 6 dollars for it used

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson doesn't think these movies would have been nearly as awesome if Rambo's last name was "Winfrey" or "Hamburger."
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Rambo: The Complete Collector's Set (published June 6th, 2008), Rambo: The Complete Collector's Set (Blu-Ray) (published July 26th, 2010), The Rambo Trilogy: First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III (published June 3rd, 2002), The Rambo Trilogy: The Ultimate Collection (published January 17th, 2005), and Stallone: 3-Film Collector's Set (Blu-ray) (published September 7th, 2012) are also available.
The Charge
"Do we get to win this time?"
Opening Statement
America's post-Vietnam, all-beef action hero returns fire in high-def and the Commies will suffer. Oh yes they will suffer.
Facts of the Case
John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa) is a highly-decorated Vietnam combat vet, skilled in the art of guerilla warfare and supremely lethal when f-ed with.
Just ask the redneck sheriff's department (First Blood), the combined forces of the North Vietnamese and the Russians (First Blood Part II) and the entire Soviet invasion force of Afghanistan (Rambo III). Apparently no one gets the memo, but that's fine because that just means more people to shoot in the nose with explosive-tipped arrows.
The Evidence
John Rambo is an iconic American film figure for good reason. He sports all the characteristics we love in our action stars: he doesn't talk through his problems, choosing to communicate through gunfire and stabbing; he's invincible, repelling even the fiercest attacks from napalm and missiles and trees; he doesn't leave his men behind, no matter what the blubbering Washington bureaucrats say; he stands up for his fellow soldiers even when dickhead hippies call them babykillers; he breaks necks while covered in mud; he jumps off of cliffs; he fights for money; he blows up small towns in the Pacific Northwest; he slaughters the real-life enemies of the United States; he kills wild boars with his bare hands.
His maiden voyage into cinematic lore, First Blood was far from the typical action movie extravaganza. Wandering around with little direction, the John Rambo we see in the first movie is a listless, damaged soul, the horrors of Vietnam festering beneath his façade. He runs into some slack-jawed yokel cops that immediately give him a hard time, pushing and pushing, forcing him to rebel and from then on, the viewer is thrust into a weird situation: the main character engaged in a violent mini-war with small-town-America authorities. First Blood could technically be called an anti-war movie, as we see the traumatic effects combat has had on our hero. Rambo's nervous breakdown at the end is as heartbreaking an anti-war statement as you can get. But what it certainly is not is anti-soldier, unlike much of the "anti-war" sculch that's coming out of Hollywood these days, where America's warriors are psychotic or naïve or pathetic. It is very clear that Stallone and company are making a statement about the shabby treatment of Vietnam vets upon their return home, and judging by the box office numbers and popular reception of the film, it's evident that this redemptive look at the Vietnam soldier was cathartic.
If First Blood was cathartic, then First Blood: Part II was a climactic Howitzer blast of ejaculate. Not content with moving beyond the horrors of Vietnam, Rambo opts to go back and do things the right way—the Rambo way. And that means undertaking a covert mission to bring back American POWs. When Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna) approaches a now-incarcerated Rambo about the mission, dangling a Presidential pardon as incentive, John agrees, asking "Do we get to win this time?" Oh, hellz yeah! So into the lion's den Rambo goes again, and promptly finds himself engaging the North Vietnamese and a special, surprise guest—Soviets! All the pent-up angst over the Tet Offensive and the fall of Saigon and the peacenik-spitting erupts into a flurry of bullets and bazooka fire and yada yada yada the Commie body count is in the triple figures and America's bravest are back home and Rambo's triceps are nearly the size of the Catskills. Rambo II is a great action picture, jammed with big set-ups including a chopper chase, one-man guerilla warfare, RPGs to the face and the world record for most exploding huts in a feature film.
Then along marches Rambo III, with our hero now biding time in a monastery and earning some extra coin on the side through no-holds-barred stick-fighting. Trautman once again reappears in his life and invites him on a mission into Afghanistan, to covertly join the Afghans in their fight against the invading forces of the Soviet Union. Rambo passes, but after Trautman is captured by the Russkies, decides to go in and get him out. He meets some Afghan freedom fighters, who aid him in his quest to blow the @#$% out of their country. The political subtext of the Soviet massacre of the Afghan people is here, but overwhelmed by the sheer amount of carnage that goes down. Rambo infiltrates a Soviet fort and kills a bunch of guys, commandeers an attack helicopter and kills a bunch of guys, squares off with an entire legion of the USSR's best troops with only a rifle and a grenade thrower and kills a bunch of guys and jumps in a tank, rams a helicopter and kills a bunch of guys. The action is glorious, but I'd be lying if I said this third chapter didn't start to slip into the realm of self-parody.
The Discs
First Blood
For a 26-year old film, First Blood looks surprisingly good in its new Blu-ray outfit. The Pacific Northwest setting offers a woodsy, gritty setting, but the 1080p upgrade renders the surroundings well. Much of the action takes place in the forests and the earthy color levels stay strong throughout. When the mayhem shifts to the town in the final act the color palette changes and gives the HD transfer more to work with. Explosions, gunfire, police lights, it all looks great—for an older movie. The audio (DTS HD and 5.1 Dolby Digital EX) is clean but not hugely dynamic. The mix gets more active when the major action kicks in.
Extras: Two commentary tracks, one with Stallone and one with author David Morrell, a trivia track, deleted scenes and, the highlight, a terrific documentary called "Drawing First Blood."
First Blood: Part II
Wow, what a difference three years makes. If the original film looked moderately better on Blu, the sequel is an evolution that can only be measured in light years. Thirteen years old, but rivaling the picture quality of more modern HD releases, Rambo II is a feast for the eyes. And with the jungle setting of the film, that feast is rich. Lush foliage, contrasted with giant balls of pyrotechnics makes for an absolutely beautiful display. Really, this video treatment is off the charts. The DTS HD Master track has a lot more to do this time around, and when Rambo gets cooking, the sound work is aggressive.
Extras: A laid-back commentary track with director George Cosmatos, trivia and the second part in the documentary series, titled "We Get to Win This Time."
Rambo III
Another excellent-looking bump in picture quality gives the films 2.35:1 treatment some real sizzle. With the deserts of Afghanistan as the backdrop, the bright, arid colors are rich in all of their 1080p glory, and the beaucoup military hijinks that unfold pop from the screen. Detailing holds up admirably in darker sequences (the prison infiltration and seer escape). This DTS track (5.1 HD Master) is more active than in the other two discs. Then again, the level of things happening on-screen is upped as well.
Extras: (Sporadic) commentary from director Peter MacDonald, a fine documentary called "Afghanistan: Land in Crisis" and the trivia track.
Closing Statement
Rambo's high-def debut is a shotgun blast to the crotch…in a good way. The films looks great, sound great and, as far as Reagan-era hardcore shoot'em up action bonanzas go, are great. Grab your ammo belt and roll out.

Is there a way to prevent konsole from wrapping lines? It would be great if I could do it without disabling any of the other features like extended colors and other of the fancier things.
There's a VT100 control sequence for that, which should be supported by Konsole. It's called DECAWM, and here's how to emit it:
My question would be though: why?

Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS)
What is it?
The Army's BOSS program is a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program designed to be the collective voice for single Soldiers through the chain of command. Through its three core components - quality of life, recreation and leisure, and community service - the program serves as a tool by which commanders can gauge the morale of single Soldiers regarding quality-of-life issues, increase Soldier retention, and sustain combat readiness.
What has the Army done?
In FY08, under its BOSS Deployment Support Program, the Army provided funds for equipment, programs, and events in locations both stateside and overseas. The program provides a variety of activities before, during, and after deployment designed to maintain the morale of single Soldiers affected by deployment stress. In addition, the Army established the position of Garrison BOSS President, which remains a temporary position in many locations. The Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Command is working to make permanent 49 BOSS President positions. Each of these positions are targeted to be filled by a sergeant.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army BOSS staff has developed the first phase of the web-based BOSS Orientation Training Course for the Garrison BOSS Executive Council (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer). The training is mandatory for all BOSS Presidents within 60 days of appointment to that position. The next phase is to develop training for the MWR BOSS Program Manager and the senior military advisor. The training is available through the MWR Academy Online Campus. The BOSS program has refocused, as the Army has, to ensure that the Army takes care of the needs of an expeditionary force. The Army plans to educate, train, and retain professional BOSS personnel, standardize and share best practices, and build strong community relations to provide enhanced quality of life programs for our single Soldiers.
Why is this important to the Army?
The BOSS program provides essential support to single Soldiers that is not provided through other programs. A standardized Army BOSS program enhances the quality of life for single Soldiers.

To the Editor.
—Drs Carrol1 and Feldman1 state that mitral balloon valvotomy has proven to be safe and cost-effective.I have some question with regard to the cost-effectiveness, since it requires a catheterization laboratory, the installation of which costs an average of $1 million or more. The balloon catheter itself costs several thousand dollars. If, indeed, we are looking for similar palliative therapy, then I believe it would be considerably more cost-effective to return to the practice of the 1950s and 1960s, during which the diagnosis of mitral stenosis was made with a considerable degree of confidence only by auscultation, and many of these patients were successfully treated by closed commissurotomy technique, with similar outcome to that being described for balloon valvuloplasty.In reality, the technique of balloon valvuloplasty is not cost-effective in countries with a low medical budget.

Xstrata Says Thermal, Coking Coal Demand 'Robust'
Xstrata Plc, the world's biggest exporter of energy coal, said the demand outlook for the commodity for both steelmaking and power production is "robust" because of urbanization in China and India.
Australia will be a key investment region as Xstrata seeks to boost production to tap rising consumption, Peter Freyberg, the company's chief executive for coal, said in a speech at the Coaltrans conference in Brisbane today. A development decision on the A$6 billion ($5.3 billion) Wandoan thermal coal project in Queensland is due next year, he said.
Xstrata Chief Executive Officer Mick Davis is spending $14 billion to expand metal and coal output by 50 percent by 2014, betting on a sustained revival in demand as the global economy recovers from last year's recession. Power-station coal prices may rise to $105 a metric ton in 2011, from $98 this year, AME Mineral Economics business development manager, Michael Dixon, said at the conference.
"China and India will be the growth drivers," Emmanuel Alfieris, Westpac Banking Corp.'s executive director for trade and financial institutions, said in his address to the event. Japan will remain a significant importer of the fuel, he said.
Xstrata may increase coal production by 50 million tons a year by 2015, Freyberg said. Output of power station coal rose to a record in 2009 after the company bought two Colombian mines. Production of the fuel climbed 13 percent to 82.6 million tons last year. Total output, including steelmaking coal, advanced 11 percent to 95.2 million tons.
Indian Imports
Indian thermal coal imports surged last year to a little less than 60 million tons from about 30 million tons in 2008, Macquarie Group Ltd. said in a report in March. India plans to almost double electricity generation capacity by 2012, when the shortage of coal will exceed 200 million tons.
"Demand for electricity is growing," Doug Ritchie, head of Rio Tinto Group's coal unit, told the conference. "We see coal continuing to have a long-term role as part of the world's energy mix. It's cheap, it's safe and it's abundant. It will remain the dominant power generation fuel, particularly for China and India."
Legislation aimed at reducing the harmful effect on the environment of burning coal will have almost no impact on demand for the fuel in the foreseeable future, said Dixon of AME Mineral Economics. "The developing nations have made it very clear that they will do nothing to inhibit the growth of their industrial development."
'Single Biggest Issue'
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said July 23 she will set up a market mechanism to put a price on carbon after 2012, establish emission standards for new coal-fired power stations and pay A$1 billion to connect renewable energy sources to the nation's power grid if the ruling Labor party is re-elected at the Aug. 21 election.
"Climate change remains this industry's single biggest issue," Rio Tinto's Ritchie said. "It's not just about putting a price on carbon, but taking the long-term view and assisting the development of technologies that can help to maximize the lowest cost abatement options."
Prices for coking coal, a steelmaking raw material, will peak in eight years, after which a market deficit will be plugged, Metal Bulletin Ltd. said in June. China and India, the world's most populous nations, will account for 70 percent of demand by 2020, Metal Bulletin said.

I have decided to use the Yak cart system for a site. I have purchased the manual and if I can get this to work plan on purchasing the MIGS gateway in the future.
I have begun a new site and the plan is to have both downloadable and physical products. However, I am having some difficulties getting the downloadable part to work correctly.
I cannot figure out how to put the files in a directory that is PHP accessible, while also not being visable via a browser. All web files are in the folder public_html, should I put my downloadable files in the same root folder as this? I have tried this, but I cannot get the "download file" of the product to point to them without it giving the error "Sorry, an error occurred, unable to open the file" when clicking on the received link.
Since this is a new brand we are starting, my site is using an add-on domain and I think this may be the issue.

I followed your request to deactivate/delete the plugin and remove the tables from the database. After that I re-installed the plugin and tried it again and it didn't work again.

I'm basically looking for Aero Peek style functionality that triggers after a certain period of inactivity. Is there any way of achieving this?
Is there a way to toggle Aero Peek after a certain amount of inactivity (like a screensaver) in Windows 7?
You can use scheduled tasks to execute a command (after a period of inactivity of your choice) which will call the "Show Desktop" command. Follow these steps to create a "Show Desktop" command as a file, and then create a new scheduled task which launches the file.
Alternatively, if you simply want to use the Aero-peak functionality instead of actually minimizing the windows, you can use AutoIt to create an executable to move your mouse to the bottom right corner (or wherever else your Aero-peak button is). You can then run the executable again as a scheduled task.
The AutoIt script would be trivial to complete, as you only need one single line. Just use the

When Joey Silvera spurns his mistress (Nikole Lace), she takes the sanest action possible, and seduces him with a decent tease followed by a mish-anal. Joey's wife (Dallas) kicks them out, but has Vince Vouyer waiting. Their doggie-anal features far too many cutaways to warrant much credibility, however... Poor Joey's left to wander the streets in a bathrobe. Cameo decides "he looks crazy enough" to fulfill her obviously nefarious purposes, bringing him home for a three-way with gorgeous Paisley Hunter and Roxanne Hall that resembles a pornographic Rod McKuen reading, as Paisley squeals and whimpers while Joey gives her an anal Frankensteiner.
We learn why Joey's the perfect patsy (God forbid I should spoil the suspense) punctuated by a Cameo anal. Weaker than the last volume, but overall an impressive portrait of story-laden buttfucking.

This April marked the one-year anniversary of Roger Ebert's passing. The film community pushes on, but it just isn't the same without him. Champaign, Illinois recently celebrated his memory at Ebertfest — the annual film festival founded by the wonderfully snarky film critic. And we now have a trailer for the biographical documentary based on the writer's 2011 memoir, Life Itself. Hoop Dreams director Steve James heads up the production, with Martin Scorsese as executive producer, which is set for a theatrical/On Demand/iTunes release on July 4th. The Pulitzer Prize-winning critic's life is explored through touching stories, video excerpts (featuring late friend and critic compadre Gene Siskel from At the Movies), and more. Michal Oleszczyk, writing for RogerEbert.com, said of the film:
Steve James made us witness lives unfolding in all their unpredictability—the gripping beauty of that movie lied in the succession of twists and turns that felt at once unexpected and completely familiar. "Life Itself" deals both with life unfolding and its coming to a close. The scenes of multiple tributes paid to Roger…are both heartbreaking and uplifting.
Grab a few tissues and preview the moving story of Roger Ebert, below.

1. Re: UCM 10G workflow reject issuewebmonkeymagic May 2, 2012 12:20 AM (in response to Nir S-Oracle)This is a common issue. When an item is rejected it goes back to the previous "edit" step.
In your design the previous edit step is the "contribute" step, or step 0.
The reason is simple. If a person rejects a revision, then that revision needs to be modified before it can be approved. But what you are trying to do is have an item get rejected and then sent straight back for approval. That doesn't make sense! There needs to be an edit step somewhere.
Try reading this:

Rarity and Coco by amy30535Watch
©2014-2016 amy30535
Aw!!! Nice!!! These two should work together on the boutique for sure...
That drink looks delicious already!!!
That's so cute! (^-^) I love it!!!
Interesting red beverage.
Sell it as a postcard? Online?
Yes! But not online, I'll sell it at comic convention.
Aww, pity, I would love to buy one. Ah well, best of luck, and have a great time at the convention you'll be attending.
I really hope Coco becomes Rarity's assistant. :3
ohh dio mio pero que hermosas se ven xD
Someone needs to make a picture of coc drinking tea and "t" (rairty) drinking coco.
I hope she appears again, she's just so darn cute!
What a delightfully cute piece :3 Good work on the cloth folds, too! And best of luck at the postcard sales! :3
is it just me or did rarity hire her... she said work for her friend but that could still be through Rarity... i hope she comes back in a different episode as her assistant.
I really hope so. I'd be a bit ticked if she doesn't, because it would be so awesome to have her and Rarity interact more.
Coco seems to have a good time. Nice choice of quitting.
Ah! Very wodnerful drawing!

RAW was hypnotic and entertaining Monday night, thanks to Cedric the Entertainer. Never thought it would ever be like it was before until last night.
It was John Cena's and Randy Orton's contract signing. Now you know that something always happens when one of these events are happening. It never fails.
Monday night was no exception. Randy was introduced and he came out with the look of the devil in his eyes. The fans went wild and gave Cena a standing ovation, as always. They have a lot of respect for this man. He's their champion.
Both men were seated at the table while Jerry the King Lawler read the rules for the signing and reminded both superstars that there was to be no physicality at the signing of the contract.
They were both talking trash to each other and they both know that they could back up what they said. Cena and Orton talk the talk and can walk the walk.
Randy told John what he was going to do to him at Hell In A Cell and reminded him that Cena never had been in a Hell In A Cell match and that he wouldn't survive this one.
Well Cena talked his trash talk, getting the fans riled up and excited. He mocked Orton and made faces that he says Orton makes. That part had everyone laughing.
They both got serious and you could tell that Randy was seething. He had that wild look in his eyes and his body was tensed. Even though he couldn't touch Cena, that didn't mean that no one else could.
Orton brought out Jericho (Christina) and the Big Show (Big Slow) and they surrounded John with Randy standing on the announcer's table. John tried to fight his way out to no avail.
Mark Henry and MVP came out to help John. Cedric came out and said that he thought that there should be a six-man tag team match. Jericho made a deal with the host for the night.
The deal went like this: if Jericho's team lost, Orton would be in a gauntlet match against MVP, Cena and Mark Henry. If Cena's team lost, then John would have to do the gauntlet match against Jericho, Orton, and Big Slow.
Both teams were out for blood. There was and still isn't any love lost between Cena's team or Orton's. You know that trouble was brewing when Randy sent Legacy home after Cody's match.
He told Legacy that he had everything under control. Orton always has a plan. He's always one step a head of his opponents.
The match was action packed and went back and forth. Just when you thought Orton had Cena, he would come back and vise versa.
There was a slip of the hand by Orton's team. The ref was distracted, the match got out of control and Orton's team won.
Now on the next Monday Night Raw, John Cena will be in a gauntlet match. If Orton has anything to do with it, he and his teammates will try to put Cena out of commission so he can't compete at Hell In A Cell.
Randy will go to any length to get that belt back. If Cena survives this onslaught, will he be able to take Randy out of the equation at Hell In A Cell? Who will be the survivor of that match?
Who will be standing with the belt after the smoke clears? This rivalry has to end sometime and it may be ending at Hell In A Cell.

I like the flexibility of the Arclite theme but am having some trouble with customizing the header. I have my own logo, in the form of a png file that is about 150x300 px. In Dashboard >> Appearance >> Arclite settings, I uploaded this file, and it appears to work just fine EXCEPT along the bottom, where it appears that the bottom 10px or so are blocked by the blue navigation strip. (you can see the problem at my website here.)
I think I just need to adjust the styles to move the logo up a few px, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Any help would be appreciated!

Women on The Web
Producer Debbie McPhail tells us about Women on the Web a programme which examines the effects of the internet and social networking on women's lives.
According to recent articles in the press, women are taking over social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. When I asked award-winning journalist Edi Stark to find out why - I knew she'd be hard to convince that tweeting and blogging could be anything other than a waste of time.
Edi, who is renowned for her insightful interviews, is a big fan of face-to-face. What the words of her interviewees don't reveal can often be found in their eyes. So could she be convinced that tweeting or blogging could have any value at all?
Hearing about the Tweets of fellow journalist Alexandra Heminsley failed to convince her. Discovering that there was a virtual mother and toddlers group - didn't impress her either as Edi was never a fan of real mother and toddler groups.
There was definitely a flicker of admiration when she met former corporate lawyer Anna Louise Simpson. Anna Louise now runs her business Mama Tea, which is a range of herbal teas for every stage in pregnancy from her laptop at home.
When Anna Louise explained to Edi that she could strap her smart phone to the double buggy and even though the kids were crying she could do business through her twitter and Facebook accounts - Edi thought she was supermama! However - like any form of communication, social networking whether it's twitter, Facebook or blogs appears to be about making connections with other people with similar interests.
Perhaps no surprise then - that Edi began to crack when she discovered the blog of two incredibly fashionable women from Glasgow. Because Edi loves fashion! Ooh..look at these shoes...
Women on the Web is on BBC Radio Scotland, Wednesday at 1130 and available to listen again on iPlayer.

"Redwood National and State Parks, Big Tree Country" Top 5 Page for this destination Redwood National Park by KimberlyAnn
Redwood National Park Travel Guide: 102 reviews and 395 photos
Our Stay in Redwood National and State Parks was filled with gray days, gray skies, fog, and a number of light rains. Still, despite the gloom, we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful forest of towering redwoods. These coastal redwoods are the tallest living trees on our planet, standing taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York, at 367.8 feet. I often stood at the base of these trees and couldn?t even begin to see their top. These wonderful trees can live to be about 2,000 years old, with the average life span between 500 and 700 years. They are a hardy tree, surviving fires and insect invasions. But besides these wonderful trees that the park is named for, Redwood National Park also has marshlands, prairies, rivers, and a coastal area with a rugged coastline and sandy beaches. As you pick up your park flyer, you will notice that it is laid out in various areas. Looking closely you will see that some of these areas are actually state owned, with the state and national run areas combine to form one large protected area to explore.
The park is located along the northern cost of California between Crescent City and Orick, about 302 miles north of San Francisco on US 101.
For additional information on Redwood National Park visit www.nps.gov/redw
- Pros:Redwoods is always a beautiful place.
- Cons:It can be gray and gloomy.

I'm a new WordPress user (just two weeks old), but I've been a professional programmer for just over thirty years. I've successfully setup WordPress on my local development PC and my commercial web hosting account, with over a dozen different theme packs. However, "SimplyWorks" doesn't [work], as the title indicates.
The above link points to a screenshot of the results I'm getting. I haven't begun to modify anything. Essentially, I'm just installing WordPress for various people, to begin my evaluation of this wonderful and powerful system. All new themes except for SimplyWorks render properly. SimplyWorks doesn't render correctly on a very recent version of Firefox (17.1), IE 8 (under XP), or Chrome (24.0.1312.52 m).
I've completely removed this theme (deleted the sub-dir and contents) reinstalled it via WordPress and manually. No joy. I've downloaded many themes so far and am aware that many unsupported, pre-3.0 themes have similar rendering issues. I thought SimplyWorksCore [1.5.8] was an up-to-date theme. To reiterate, I'm using WP 3.5 but I'm not looking for someone to swoop in to fix this for me. I'd simply like to understand why an unmodified theme isn't working on an unmodified system. I use wampserver2.2e-php5.4.3-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-32b on my local Windows XP testbed and I have a Linux Business hosting account on 1and1 @ jetman3.net.
This issue isn't preventing additional progress and eventually I'll return to this package and uncover why it has rendering issues, right out of the box. Thanks in advance for your consideration....

AbstractSonalysts proposes to develop a Mission Planning-Evaluation Tool (MP-ET) to support submarine Commanding Officers"risk and operational assessment of mission plans. Our approach is to extend the current APB-13 Mission Planning Application (MPA) by using a fuzzy logic approach. This method enables encoding the heuristics used by experts into an automated, quantifiable evaluation of operational risk. Our approach is to use a simulation engine to run multiple trials of a course of action-scenario combination, and evaluate the output with a fuzzy logic engine. Our fuzzy logic rule set will be developed by interviewing current and former submarine Commanding Officers and reviewing relevant submarine grounding, collision, mission, and exercise reports. We will leverage or develop, as necessary, modular interfaces to the existing Mission Planning Application (MPA). Simulation outputs will be processed through a Fuzzy Logic (FL) engine to compute risk and effectiveness for presentation to a decision maker. We will develop an initial Risk Assessment Display, aimed at presenting risk elements, risk factors, and an aggregated risk timeline which will present FL output to the Commanding Officer. We will also examine the run-time feasibility of using a simulation engine for real-time evaluation of risk and effectiveness.

Umm Ahmed hopes that sneakers, jeans and a hooded top will be her camouflage when she tries to reach London next month. Along with a bottle of peroxide and some skin-bleaching cream, she believes that the "full European look" will help to get her past British authorities.
"I have a fake passport, but so do many. Most of the time they don't work and you have to look the part. It's well known that Syrians who are naturally lighter-skinned or with blue eyes are more likely to get into Europe," she says. "I don't have it, so I must fake
