Ignotus Peverell
this wiki
Ignotus Peverell (12 July, 1214—18 May, 1291) was one of the three brothers mentioned in The Tale of the Three Brothers in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Though he was the youngest brother, Ignotus was described to be the humblest and wisest of the three, and had survived Death's cunning schemes due to these traits. He received the last of the Deathly Hallows, the Cloak of Invisibility, which was passed down through his family to Harry Potter. Ignotus was also an ancestor of the Potter family.
Early life
Little is known about Ignotus Peverell's childhood. He was born into the Peverell family on 12 July, 1214[1] in the village of Godric's Hollow in the English West Country,[2] a younger brother to Antioch and Cadmus.
Being knowledgeable in the magical arts,[2] it is unknown whether the Peverell brothers attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, were home-schooled or learned about the magical arts on their own, autodidactically.
The Deathly Hallows
- Harry Potter: "So it's true? All of it? The Peverell brothers —"
- Albus Dumbledore: "— were the three brothers of the tale. Oh yes, I think so. Whether they met Death on a lonely road… I think it more likely that the Peverell brothers were simply gifted, dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful objects. The story of them being Death's own Hallows seems to me the sort of legend that might have sprung up around such creations."
- — Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore during the former's visit to Limbo.[src]
According to Beedle the Bard in his work The Tale of the Three Brothers, Ignotus was the humblest and wisest of the three Peverell brothers.
When the three brothers managed to cheat Death while travelling along a "lonely, winding road at twilight", Death pretended to congratulate them on their magic and presented them with a gift of their choice. Ignotus did not trust Death by any means. So, rather than ask for something to further his own desires, he requested the power to leave that meeting without being followed by Death. Death, not wishing to betray any hint of his true intentions, most begrudgingly took his Invisibility Cloak and gave it to Ignotus. Ignotus's two older brothers met terrible fates due to the murderous lust the Elder Wand created in wizards, and the limitations of the Resurrection Stone.[4]
It should be noted, however, that Beedle the Bard most likely employed artistic license as some aspects of his story seem not to match actual aspects of the Peverell's life (i.e. the story heavily implies that Cadmus Peverell killed himself before having descendents,[4] when in actuality he was a direct ancestor to the House of Gaunt[6]) and, as such, it should not be taken as an accurate account of the historical facts. As Albus Dumbledore himself theorised, it is much more likely that the Peverell brothers, as gifted wizards, managed to create the Deathly Hallows by themselves.[2]
Later life and death
- "It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life."
- —Beedle the Bard, The Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
Ignotus most likely married at some point, having had a son.[4]
Ignotus went on to live into his seventy-six years, dying on 18 May, 1291[1] on his birthplace of Godric's Hollow.[2] He left his son his Cloak of Invisibility, one of the Deathly Hallows,[4] and was buried in the churchyard by the Parish Church of St. Clementine.[7]
- Hermione Granger: "Look at this! Harry, that's the mark in the book!"
- Harry Potter: "Yeah… it could be…"
- Hermione Granger: "It says Ig — Ignotus, I think…"
- — Hermione Granger and Harry Potter come across Ignotus's weathered grave in 1997.[src]
In 1899, Gellert Grindelwald stayed with his great-aunt Bathilda Bagshot in Godric's Hollow in an attempt to "explore the place the third brother had died" as he sought the Deathly Hallows.[2]
In late December, 1997, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger came across Ignotus Peverell's much eroded grave, where they noted the sign of the Deathly Hallows was engraved beneath the barely legible name.[7]
Personality and traits
According to legend, Ignotus was a very wise, modest and humble young man, far more so than his two self-centred, arrogant older brothers. He was therefore far more shrewd and was the only one of the three to see through Death's deception. His request for something to hide him from Death, rather than something to enhance his own very personal glory, kept him alive for many happy decades. Ignotus preferred a rather joyful, peaceful life, unlike his brothers. As such, he lived for several years with no quarrels or worries and raised a family. Ignotus saw to it that the very last thing he did in his life was pass the cloak on to his son, guaranteeing that his future descendants could live long happy lives as he had, and when he finally left the mortal world with Death, Ignotus had no regrets.[4]
Magical abilities and skills
- Transfiguration: Ignotus could create a perfect bridge without fail alongside his two brothers via Conjuration, a complex form of magic.[4]
- Magical manufacturer (possibly): Legend has it that Death was the original owner of the Cloak of Invisibility and handed it to Ignotus when he asked it.[4] However some people, like Albus Dumbledore have speculated that Ignotus created the cloak himself.[2] To this day the Cloak remains the only Deathly Hallow still owned and used, moreover by Ignotus's direct descendants. The Elder Wand and Resurrection Stone were never used again after 1998 further contributing to how Ignotus' humble nature ultimately proved vastly more successful than that of his brothers.[8]
Interestingly enough, though not surprisingly, the word "Ignotus" is yet another of Rowling's uses of the Latin language. Meaning Unknown, the name is appropriate, due to his mastery of invisibility and successful concealment from even Death. Also another form of the name Ignatius, which shows up throughout history, such as Ignatius of Loyola.
The etymology of the name "Ignotus" can also refer to the Latin word "īgnōtus" which means "forgiven" (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ignotus). Therefore, with Christian themes abounding in the Potter series, it is reasonable enough to suspect that the Invicibility Cloak has something to do with being forgiven and thus being hidden from the enemy, Death. In Christian faith that "hiddenness" is the righteousness of God (see Romans 6, 2 Cor. 5:18-21 etc.) and anyone who is cloathed in his righteousness (Isaiah 61:10) has nothing to fear from death (1 John. 4:17-19). Therefore, it is most plausible that the Cloak of Invisibility also has to do with Divine forgiveness and justification.
Behind the scenes
- According to the book Nature's Nobility: A Wizarding Genealogy, the surname of Peverell disappeared fairly early in wizarding history. It is said that James Potter inherited the Cloak, and it is also said that Ignotus had a son. However, somewhere not far down the line one of his descendants probably gave birth to a baby girl, which could explain why their family's surname disappeared so quickly. This would mean the Cloak was passed down from mother to daughter, until one of them had a son, continuing the father to son tradition. But it is known, according to J.K. Rowling, that James Potter got the Invisibility Cloak from his father.[9]
- The Tale of the Three Brothers states that Ignotus died when he "attained a great age". However, Harry Potter Film Wizardry puts his age at the time of his death as 76, which is not considered old in wizarding terms. However, the Tales of Beedle the Bard are fairytales and don´t portray everything like it was in reality. Another possibility is that the average lifespan of wizards was shorter during the Peverell brothers' time just like in the real world where average lifespans have been shorter in the past and 76 was considered a great age for wizards in the 1200s, not least of all because of the level of bloodshed duelling involved in those days.

Elmo is a furry red Muppet monster with an orange nose. He is self-described as 3-and-a-half years old, and refers to himself almost entirely in the third person.[1] The character proved to be immensely popular with toddlers that in 1998, he was given his own full segment on Sesame Street, called "Elmo's World." Currently, a new Elmo-centered segment titled "Elmo the Musical" airs in its place.
As with many children of his age, he is seen somewhat infrequently with a favorite toy of his: an orange monster-like doll named David. Elmo lives in an apartment on Sesame Street with his mother Mae, his father Louie, and, in some storybooks, a sister named Daisy.
Early years
The puppet that would eventually become Elmo has been around since the early 1970s. During this time, he was referred to on the set as "Baby Monster," and had a number of performers ranging from Caroll Spinney[2] to Jerry Nelson[3] for background scenes.
Elmo first appeared on Sesame Street specifically as "Elmo" in Season 12[4] where he was performed by Brian Muehl. After Muehl's departure in 1984, the character was briefly re-cast to Richard Hunt, who performed Elmo with a gruff caveman voice and a rowdy persona. Hunt was not comfortable with performing Elmo, and felt the character was not working. One day, frustrated with the role, Hunt came into the show's green room and literally tossed the puppet to Kevin Clash and asked what he could get out of it.[5] Clash gave Elmo his recognizable falsetto, and while trying to find a "hook" for the character, decided that Elmo should embody love. Clash said, "I knew that Elmo should represent love - just kissing and hugging."[6] Clash cites a season 17 scene in which Elmo packs for an imaginary vacation as the moment when he "found his voice" as Elmo.[7] Writer David Korr took a liking to the character, and backed up with positive research, started utilizing Elmo regularly.[5]
A popular doll called the Tickle Me Elmo was manufactured in his likeness, and became the must-have toy during the 1996 Christmas season. A tenth anniversary edition, T.M.X. Elmo, was released in 2006. Other Elmo toys include Hokey Pokey Elmo ("Hokey Cokey Elmo" in the U.K.), Limbo Elmo, Chicken Dance Elmo, Let's Pretend Elmo, and Elmo Live.
Elmo was the star of the full-length, theatrically released motion picture The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. He also made minor appearances in Follow That Bird, the wedding scene in The Muppets Take Manhattan, and A Muppet Family Christmas.
Elmo can be seen in the home videos Elmo's Sing-Along Guessing Game, The Best of Elmo, Elmocize, and Elmo Visits the Doctor, and has also appeared in many other videos, including Play-Along Games and Songs, We All Sing Together and A Celebration of Me, Grover. Elmo has also starred in specials such as Elmopalooza and The Street We Live On. For a whole list of appearances of Elmo in videos, click here.
Kermit Love felt he knew part of the character's reason for success: "Elmo is popular because Elmo is red."[8]
Behind the scenes
There are either eight or nine Elmo puppets currently available. Kevin Clash told Channel Newsasia that "this one [on my lap] is rodded. There's a full radio-controlled Elmo, there's one for the blue screen, etc. They do different things."[9] In later years, there has been a live-hand variant of Elmo, used in episodes like episode 4206 and specials like Elmo's World: Happy Holidays!
Additionally, dozens of Elmo variants have been created by the Muppet Workshop (now, Jim Henson's Puppet Workshop) almost exclusively for use in Tickle Me Land as figments of Dorothy's imagination. These creations build on the basic premise of the Elmo puppet, to create a unique design which displays a variation of Elmo as anything from a rock to an elephant, to even a male doctor and female nurse.
At the Muppets, Music & Magic event at The Cinema Arts Centre in August 2007, Elmo joked that the reason he speaks in the third person is that he gets paid for each time he says "Elmo."
Elmo tweeted about his third person speaking in March 2010; "Someone just told Elmo yesterday was Talk in Third Person Day. Elmo doesn't know what that is but it sounds fun. Can Elmo play?"
When appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Elmo sang a few lines of a Jennifer Hudson song, only after realizing he sang the word "me".
At The Paley Center for Media screening of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey, a member of the audience asked him why he spoke in third person. Elmo (after jokingly threatening the audience member) replied that "it's just the way Elmo talks."
At another screening at the Museum for the Moving Image, Elmo was asked what it was like to work with Richard Hunt, to huge response from the audience. He recollected "It was TORTURE! ...Elmo doesn't like opera! Elmo doesn't like tuna fish sandwiches and Schweppes Ginger Ale. Elmo doesn't like any of those things! But for some reason, when he was working Elmo, Elmo was motivated to love those things."[10]
Elmo's CinderElmo co-star French Stewart lists the three year old monster's acting talents behind only Pacino, Brando and Streep, while Oliver Platt says he is a "giving actor."

Having dared to bring the word 'playoffs' back into their lexicon after a couple of strong weeks, the Brandon Wheat Kings are suddenly farther away from the Western Hockey League's post-season than at any point this season.
The Saskatoon Blades scored three times in the second period on their way to a 4-1 victory over the Wheat Kings Tuesday at Westman Place. The result dropped the Wheat Kings 11 points behind the Blades and the Medicine Hat Tigers, who share seventh place and the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, marking the first time this season Brandon has been out of the post-season race by double digits in points.

During the Junos, band after band talked about getting Screeched in.
Im sure youre well aware of that touristy ritual which transforms visitors into honorary Newfoundlanders for, supposedly, talking, eating, drinking and kissing like one of us.
The ceremony might be done in good fun, but it's long left a bad taste in my mouth. (And it's not from the Screech. I actually enjoy that.)
No, Screech-ins embarrass the heck of out me.
And I finally realize why. It's that Ndeed I is me ole cock gibberish.
Throughout my youth and adult life here, I've encountered dozens of wonderful accents from our beautiful bays and picturesque peninsulas.
None of the people with these dialects spoke that awful Screech-in jargon, a language that goes too far over-the-top and just adds to the Newfie stereotype.
Now, I'm all about not taking myself too seriously, and I recognize the potential enjoyment and humour in toying with terrified tourists.
So, unlike some, Im not suggesting we bring this ceremony to a Screech-in halt.
I just like us to drop the Ndeed I is nonsense and make the custom more classy.
Why not throw a souwester or Irving ball cap on a tourist and then get them to a kiss of a cod or a puffins rear, eat a chunk of wild bologna, toast the pine-clad hills and finally shoot an ounce of the dark and dirty.
We wont miss that old cock crap and neither will they, I can promise that.
From listening to band after band at the Junos, the fears of visitors seem to be kissing the cod, eating some kind of processed meat, and downing rum reputed to taste worst than jet fuel.

text: Beautiful city, as always. I really like the shape, the map looks very unique. The only criticism I have to offer is that the water seems too bright to me in places, makes it hard to read labels and some of the docks' edges "disappear". I'm eagerly waiting for a new city map.

Florence Nightlife
Florentines are rather proud of their nightlife options. Most bars now have some sort of happy hour, which usually lasts for many hours and often has snacks that can substitute for a light dinner. (Check, though, that the buffet is free or comes with the price of a drink.) Clubs typically don't open until very late in the evening, and don't get crowded until 1 or 2 in the morning.

Which elements make you choose your web browser or change it?

marked as duplicate by TheTXI Aug 20 '09 at 0:18
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
There's always the standard features to look at:
Beyond the actual features, there are some reasons such as the percent of the browser market, the company behind the browser, etc. These reasons are really subjective though, some may want a leading browser (for computability), some may want a less known one (for security), some may want a browser that is open source (like Firefox).
Speed, ad/popup blocking, and ability to render all pages I visit.
I use Firefox, but I really wish it was faster, like in the Phoenix days.
Compatibility (with sites that I use, not necessarily standards), doesn't crash, speed.
IE8 is my default on click simply due to many sites not working right elsewhere. Other than that I try not to use it since it crashes so often. Sites that I know work in other browsers, I will open with Chrome which is fast and stable.
Safari is getting close to Chrome, but since it doesn't do anything better that I care about, I don't use it. Opera is nice, but once again, doesn't offer anything better, and their political posturing bugs me. Firefox is slow and has strange printing problems on some of my systems, but if I need some random weird plug-in, I'll install it again.
Usability. I don't need add-ons, fancy cookie Management or skins, but I do need stuff like a working URL bar (Which is why I switched from the horrible Firefox 3.0 to Chrome, a browser that has it's fair share of problems but is at least usable for browsing.)
For me as a web developer the FireBug debugging tool is a reason to chose a Firefox as most used browser.
Some weird limitations in corporate tools (that works well only in Internet Explorer 6-7) is the reason while Internet Explorer 7.0 is my default browser.
And anyway I need to use almost all other browsers with market share > 1% from time to time to understand differences, strengths and weaknesses of each and better understand users of our web sites. Each of the browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera has its own advantages and bugs... So there is no killer browser nowadays, and the UI is just a matter of taste.
As a developer I use all browsers (or at least test in all) but by choice I prefer Firefox and Chrome.
Chrome for its simplicity, Firefox for its familiarity and unlimited potential.
For the sake of developers worldwide... if you do choose to use IE, please use version 8. ;-)
Hence, Chrome and Safari.
Ease of use and speed definitely.
I really like when the browser start respecting your habituation, lets you create new good habits and facilitate your browsing.
Chrome for instance, puts the address bar and the web search in a single place. When I find the web page I want I type tab and it gets autocompleted ( It respects my habit of pressing tab to auto complete.)
Firefox does something similar, it lets me go very fast to an already typed site by remembering them all. The only problem I had with it is I have to press down to get the result.
Safari on the other hand is very very fast, but doesn't quite match my previous habits.
As a user: ease of use. As a web developer: anything but Internet Explorer.
Delicious.com tagging and Firebug keep me on Firefox.
Back in 1999, I was annoyed by some websites spamming me with JavaScript generated new windows, which generated 2 more windows when you hit the close button in Internet Explorer 5. I looked for an alternative that gave me more control over JavaScript, and found Opera.
I suddenly had tabbed browsing, the ability to toggle JavaScript on or off with a single hotkey and a rendering engine that started displaying things before the page was loaded completely (1999, the previous millenium, I was still surfing with a 56k modem).
So my reason for choosing this browser was, that I was strongly annoyed by some behaviour that was not caused by my old browser. I still use my choice from that time today (right now, in fact) because I have no incentive to switch: I am not annoyed by my current browser, and I see no advantage in any of the alternatives that makes switching worth the effort. I guess you can call that lazyness...
One of the main things I take into account is if the browser controls the resources that can be spawned by each page. Some browsers are obnoxious about consuming all available CPU for a time while it decides what to do with a page.
I have found that Firefox is pretty good at not letting this happen which is why I use that instead of Internet Explorer. Nothing like having your computer lock up when you have a quad-core and 4 GB of memory.
I usually tend to stick with one browser until it gets on my nerves too often to be usable for me. Also trying out something new I have tried before in an older version is sometimes an incentive (to look whether my previous issues have been addressed).
I left Internet Explorer 7 because of speed in favor of Firefox, I left Firefox again due to excessive crashing when opening multiple tabs in quick succession (something I did fairly often at that time .. and a handful of crashes a day wasn't fun anymore). I started using Internet Explorer 8 β1 at that time but soon left it to try Firefox 3 and then Google Chrome, due to speed and other issues. Chrome, while snappy and overall nice constantly irritated me when I clicked on a tab and rather often the tab was detached from the window, resulting in a nasty pause. By now I'm a fairly happy user of Internet Explorer 8 which is nearly as fast as Chrome and (currently) has less issues for me. I still use Chrome and Firefox 3 on my other machine, though.

Welcome! I've been looking toward developing skills in effects animation, myself. I'm currently a 2d generalist for television vfx, but I've long had an interest in getting more into dynamics and simulation. If you don't mind, could you offer some leads on education for effects in games? I know the principles are similar to what we do for TV and film, but I'd still love to add some books to my library that are specific to game effects.
Oh, and wonderful map! I love the physicality of it.

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Isaiah Canaan scored a game-high 29 points as
the Murray State Racers captured an 81-73 win over the Eastern Kentucky
Colonels in the semifinals of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament at
Municipal Auditorium.
Canaan, who shot 10-of-19 from the field and handed out six assists, surpassed
the 2,000-point mark for his career with second-seeded Murray State (21-9)
which is headed to the title game for the second straight year and will face
newcomer and top-seeded Belmont on Saturday night.
Also scoring in double figures for the Racers were Stacy Wilson with 17 points
and Brandon Garrett with 11 in the victory.
Third-seeded Eastern Kentucky (24-9) was paced by Eric Stutz with 18 points on
8-of-11 shooting from the floor. Mike DiNunno was responsible for 15 points
and six assists, followed by Glenn Cosey and Corey Walden with 13 points and
seven rebounds apiece.
Murray State made good on an impressive 60.7 percent from the floor in the
first half, compared to 45.8 percent for the Colonels, yet the teams found
themselves tied at the break, 38-38. Eastern Kentucky managed to knot the
score by holding a 12-1 scoring edge at the free-throw line over the first 20
minutes of action.
In the second half the Racers made a much bigger impression at the charity
stripe, connecting on 15-of-19, in order to capture the eight-point victory.
In a contest that featured five ties and 18 lead changes, Murray State posted
a 42-24 scoring advantage in the paint.
MSU, which defeated Tennessee State in the title game a year ago, 54-52, has
won the OVC championship a total of 15 times, 10 more than any other current
member of the league.

Magnolia is really hard to get to. The paved road, Route 12, twists and turns on a steep mountain side with so many switchbacks I lost count. It runs through a deep dense forest, up and down the mountainside so steep you'd likely slide on slippery layers of leaves all the way down to the Potomac River if you tried climbing it. Must be close to impossible to pass in a snowy winter... but this is West By-God Virginia where the people are tough! For the trip back we took the gravel road that sits on the old railroad bed, and straight as an arrow... but bumpy.
Let me tell you a little about the history of Magnolia and you'll see why this is interesting. Here's the link to Wikipedia and below a photo of the B&O bridge nearing completion back in the day, also from Wikipedia:
Magnolia was a railroad town, started about 1850. Around 1842 it was just known as Water Station Number 12. More people moved in to work on the rail road. Then stores came to service those families and the town grew. During 1910 the population reached about 2000 strong but by 1919 the population was recorded at just 50 souls. The flood of 1936 drove the final nail in the coffin of little Magnolia and only a hand full of families remained, mostly locating on the high ground. Today you can count the number of occupied homes on one hand. Magnolia, for all practical purposes is no more: no post office, no town, not even on Google Maps or your GPS. The area that was Magnolia is all woods and gone wild. It has returned to nature.
Map courtesy of Wikipedia. Thanks Wikipedia!
See that photo above of the bridge being built? Brother and I got out of the car and braved the onslaught of bugs to stand near the Potomac as it runs to the left of this bridge view. Here's the photo we took and we can tell you for sure there's not a building to be seen in the area! It's gone all wild.
Next we were off to find the Cherry Orchard Cemetery where some of our ancestors are buried. We didn't hold out too much hope of finding it and if we did, we expected that the old cemetery would be a mess of weeds, snakes, and of course bugs-a-plenty! Back on Route 12 and looking for the cemetery, we passed a nice historic house, unoccupied but posted with Keep Out signs.
I'm willing to bet that somewhere, someone, or on some web site or other there's an expert who can approximate the age of this house by the structure of it:)
Here's a good view of Magnolia around 1900 to 1910. I think that might be Route 12 running up the hillside, maybe?
Also from Wikipedia.
Below is Route 12 that runs through the area that was Magnolia. Here's what we saw: all wild and woods. Nothing left!
On to Cherry Orchard Cemetery! WOW! Were we shocked! Some one or group is lovingly taking care of it! See for yourself.
The picture above is the area of the Cherry Orchard Cemetery
where our House ancestors rest.
So Magnolia is gone but not forgotten. How many other places have joined its ranks as not even ghost towns but simply not there at all?
Want to go to Magnolia? Make your way in your 4-wheel drive vehicle to Paw Paw, West Virginia. Stop at the gas station and fill up, then look across the street and see the old abandoned rail road station. There's a gravel road right in front of it. Take that until you see the second rail road bridge over the Potomac. If you want to find the old Cherry Orchard Cemetery, find Route 12, Old Magnolia Road, next to the old gravel rail road bed at the second bridge. Take that in the direction away from the second bridge... you'll find the cemetery.
Or you can ask the nice lady in the gas station how to get to Magnolia on Route 12. She'll tell you. People are pretty friendly here:)

Difference between revisions of "Joomla! Framework (CMS 1.5 and 1.6) vs Joomla! Platform"

Revision as of 11:09, 1 December 2012
The Joomla Framework is a platform for writing web and command line applications in PHP. It is free and open source software, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.[1]
The Framework comprises code originally developed for the Joomla Content Management System and is a continuation of the Platform project. The Joomla Framework and the Joomla CMS are separate projects with separate development teams. Unlike the Platform, the Framework is not primarily intended as a platform for the Joomla CMS, and the Joomla CMS is not currently built on the Framework. More information about the differences between the Platform and the Framework can be found in the March 2013 edition of the Joomla Community Magazine.
Introduction to Platform
The Joomla Platform is a platform for writing Web and command line applications in PHP. It is free and open source software, distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. The Joomla Content Management System (CMS) is built on top of the Joomla Platform.[2]
As of 24 April 2013, the Platform project has been retired. The Platform has been merged back into the CMS, and the Framework has taken its place as the standalone application framework for Joomla! applications.[3][4]
The release of the Joomla Platform on 5 July 2011[5] marked an important change in the Joomla! CMS architecture. The Joomla! CMS was initially a monolithic application. One of the aims of the Joomla! project was to separate the codebase into the CMS and an underlying library, which could then be reused for other projects. In version 1.5 and 1.6, that separation was prepared by creating a division between the Framework (CMS 1.5 and 1.6) (which is unrelated to the new Framework project) and the Joomla! CMS Application. The Joomla! Platform project continued this effort by separating that framework into an independent project (both in terms of code and organization). The Joomla! Platform is an independent set of libraries which do not depend on the Joomla! CMS Application. These libraries are made up of libraries maintained by the Joomla! Project and libraries maintained by other 3rd party developers. The Platform could be used for web and command-line applications entirely independent of and unrelated to the CMS.
The home of the Joomla! Platform was the joomla/joomla-platform GitHub repository that contains the source and documentation. The Platform stopped accepting contributions on or before 24 April 2013.
The Joomla! Platform can now be used to build other CMS Applications or Web and command line Applications specific to a developer's needs such as eCommerce, Social Media, and other stand alone Applications. The Platform is stored on GitHub, which allows developers to easily fork the Platform code for their own purposes, and then if they want, integrate it into the main code branch. This will encourage more developers and even attract larger corporations to contribute to the Joomla! Platform who might not have done so before.[6]
Another good thing about the separation of the the Joomla! Platform it has a release schedule of every 3 months which allows for a faster integration of core features used by extension developers. The version number is determined by the the year of its release. For example, Joomla! Platform 11.1 was released in 2011 and 12.1 was released in 2012.[7]

Tsume Inuzuka (犬塚ツメ, Inuzuka Tsume) is a tokubetsu jōnin-level kunoichi of Konohagakure, and a member of the Inuzuka clan. Her canine companion is Kuromaru.
Tsume is a very tough woman often seen scolding Kiba for his actions, such as not taking his training seriously when he was younger as well as telling him not to underestimate the enemy when they faced Pain. Though strict by nature, Tsume clearly cares deeply for her family and the village. According to Kiba, she was responsible for scaring away his father.[3] She is also described as being wild and impatient — traits her son also inherited.[1] Despite this, Tsume is quite level-headed in battle. This was seen during her fight with the Preta Path where she told her son that they would not allow the enemy to escape. She also has a somewhat "odd" sense of humour displayed when she was poking fun at the Preta Path when it fled, stating that the enemy was afraid of her.[3]
Tsume has an animalistic look similar to that of her son Kiba. She has long, spiky, untamed brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, elongated canine teeth and nails. She also has the clan fang markings on her cheeks as well as markings over her eyes and a dark shade of purple lipstick. She wears the standard outfit of a Konoha shinobi consisting of flak jacket and a black suit underneath with the sleeves rolled up and bandages around her legs. She doesn't wear the village's forehead protector.
As a member of the Inuzuka clan, Tsume employs the use of collaborative attacks alongside her beloved companion, Kuromaru. She is proficient in the clan's basic Four Legs Technique which allows her to manoeuvre on both her hands and feet with notable skill and agility. She has also been seen using the Fang Passing Fang technique with Kuromaru which she was able to use to do extensive damage to the corpse of the first Animal Path. She also employs the use of such tools as flash bombs in order to add a surprise to her attacks.
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Tsume has her début during the Invasion of Konoha, fighting alongside her daughter, Hana and their respective ninken to repel the invading enemy ninja. She can later be seen at the Third Hokage's funeral with other Konoha shinobi.
Kiba's Long Day Arc
Tsume was seen in a flashback during this arc, scolding Kiba for not training enough with Akamaru. While in the kitchen, Tsume lectured her son about the fact that he and Akamaru needed to train more in order to become strong.
Part II
Pain Invasion Arc
During the Invasion of Pain, Tsume and Kuromaru drop a flash bomb and then attacked Pain's Preta Path with Fang Passing Fang, but the Preta Path managed to stop the attack by using the corpse of the former Animal Path as a shield. She was later joined by Kiba and Akamaru as backup, however, the Preta Path fled from them. In the anime, Akamaru uses Dynamic Marking to help track the body's movements. Tsume and Kiba chased after it and just as she and Kuromaru were about to catch it, the Preta Path was summoned away by the Animal Path, so that Pain could use his full-powered Shinra Tensei to level the village. She was later seen with Kiba following the destruction of Konoha along with their hounds. In the anime, she was also later seen celebrating Naruto Uzumaki's defeat of Pain.
Adventures at Sea Arc
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc
Naruto 5: Blood Prison
During Naruto's flashback to the members of the village when he was gathering natural energy to enter Sage Mode, Tsume can been seen amongst the villagers.
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
Tsume is seen among the rest if the Konoha 11's families congratulating Kiba on his victory.
- "Tsume" means "claw" or "talon".
- According to the databook(s):
- Her favourite food is filet mignon.
- (To Kiba when receiving Akamaru) "His name is Akamaru. And from now on, you'll be lookin' after him."[4]
- (To Kiba) "Listen Kiba, it's not just you. You and Akamaru have to grow strong together."[4]
- (To Kiba about the Preta Path) "He was so scared of me that he ran away!"[3]

Cool idea! I love the books!
I'm reading David Weber's Honor Harrington series for probably the fifth time, and every time I read it I want to map it. This time I'm doing it.
I've taken the maps from all of the books and combined them into a (mostly) consistent scale. The main map is 4px/ly, the Talbott Cluster callout is 3px/ly, and the Silesian Confederacy is considerably zoomed in, but I haven't calculated the exact scale yet.
So here we have a starfield background, the placement of about 90% of the stars, the Manticoran Wormhole and its termini (yellow lines) and the callout layouts.
I'd like to do another callout in the top right, but that may have to be the space for the legend. We'll see how it goes.
For any fans of the books that may notice that the borders of the various polities are a bit out of date, I'm working through this chronologically, so this is showing the political scene as it was in the first few books. The final will show changing of hands throughout the Havenite Wars, and my goal is to show the scene as it is at the end of Mission of Honor. I'll warn folks if there are any spoilers from MoH, in case anyone's waiting for the hard copy to come out in a couple months.
Incidentally, there's a map on the wikipedia page for the books that I'm not using as a reference ... I disagree with some of the artist's interpretations, and it doesn't lend itself well to the scale callouts I'm using.
Cool idea! I love the books!
Thanks Sapiento! I'm glad to see a fellow fan of the books
I'd love to see the finished product too. The shifting borders thing sound cool. I always felt that Webber was trying too hard to make technology fit into his "high seas" metaphor and tactics, but that's hardly something to stop me from enjoying some good military space opera. I wonder when his next HSH book is coming out. I'll have to check that.
Now if only a HSH map of this scale could be done with Daelin's Empire of Man style. That would be truly awesome.
Maps encourage boldness. They're like cryptic love letters. They make anything seem possible.
-Mark Jenkins
Thanks for the encouragement and suggestion, wormspeaker! I haven't been following that thread as closely as others since i usually stick to the fantasy side of things, but I'll definitely head over there for some inspiration.
Ok, yeah ... wow. That would be quite the project! Not feeling quite that ambitious, lol.
First pass at star labeling here. I didn't notice until I was typing it for the 2nd time that there are 2 Cascas on the map at the beginning of the Short Victorious War. Go figure
Wow, big job. Great books though so a worthy challenge! Keep going!
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
looks really good - and yes, Daelins style would be fantastic here - but since the distances are longer - that map would be huge... *whispers.. go gidde go gidde*
I haven't read the books, but I feel sorry for that lone star to the bottom right that doesn't have a name

That one should be Hennesy, it's part of the Phoenix Cluster. (It's not mentioned often in the books. The Phoenix Cluster is a minor neutral power located in a quiet corner of of space just outside of the Solarian League if I remember correctly.

Haha, yeah, it's missing a name because I wanted to find it in the books first. I had seen it named on a previous map, but the spelling looked odd so I was waiting for literary confirmation. Unfortunately, I ran through the books without stopping to map while I read lol ... guess I'll have to read them again (oh shucks)

Well, the most visited page icon on his computer is yours. So he couldn't help, but noticing it and ordered the book for me on Amazon. Then, he kept pressing me to pick up the parcel that and I didn't understand why. When I opened the parcel I saw that it was your book. I couldn't beleive it. I wish you could sign it for me! The pictures are beautiful even more so in print. I'de already seen them since I've been following the blog forever.

I have worked as a developer for over 10 years now. During that time I have had my own small projects where I have developed tools, applications and games. I have not found any robust solution to store my work. It's always fun to get back to your code and see how you did before and how you would do it now. It's just work that is unfortunate to lose. There are SVN solution such as Google's Project Hosting. However I'm not interested in sharing my code or making it open source. Currently I'm hosting my own SVN server. So here comes my question:
How and where do you store your private work/sourcecode?
- Sourcecode versioning
- Backup
- Prefers free
- Edit: Remote access
Edit: I have used Dropbox + TrueCrypt + SVN. Unfortunately you are limited to 5gb.

Yes, for special occasions and celebrations we are often asked for banquet/party services. We provide an unique setting and atmosphere, a perfect match for that special occasion. We can offer a sit down dinner, buffet, outside steak cookout, or shore-dinner. If you are looking for a location for an anniversary or birthday, an yearly event, charity dinner, or even wedding, please consider Teal Lake. Capacity: To offer our best service and food quality, we must restrict our capacity to 90 people for a sit down and buffet dinner. Our forte is groups of 30-50 people.
Locations:Our Dining Room has three sections. The two "extra" dining rooms, one seats up to 20 and the other can seat up to 32, are perfect for groups. They can be closed off so you feel free to toast, cheer, and laugh the night away without worry of disturbing others. These are available at anytime for parties. The full Dining Room, using all three sections, can seat 90 people. Since our resort guests also join us for dinner, we can only offer this on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the summer. However, in Spring and Fall there are possibilities of using this on weekend nights. Outside events at Teal Lake are splendid. The backdrop of the lake, forest, and historic Main Lodge sets the perfect mood for a festive occasion. Many groups enjoy our outside cookouts with its relaxed yet high quality atmosphere, picnic tables and bonfire. This can be set up outside the Main Lodge, at the Golf course, at your cabin, or on the wilderness islands.
Bar and Beverages: Teal Lake is happy provide full liquor, beer, and wine service. The Captain's Cabin bar has a beautiful overlook of Teal Lake and is a wonderful place to start the party. It can easily fit 40 people for a reception with plenty of overflow on outside decks. This is normally on the honor system, but for bigger parties a bartender can be provide for nominal fee. We can also arrange for a bar or keg to be set up outside. Our wine list is carefully chosen (and tested) by the Ross Family, it is small but excellent and affordable.Menu: Lunch can be a brat cookout, or deli buffet, or hot buffet (we do a wonderful pastry so quiche is a great option). Outside cookouts can be hamburger/brat option, walleye shore-lunch, or steak. For dinner, we usually offer 2 items (off the regular menu) – an either or choice. But we can cater whatever you prefer. Just ask us… See our most popular banquet options for ideas and pricing.
Weddings: Teal Lake is a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony, reception, and/or groom's dinner. Please keep in mind though that our capacity is 90 people. We enjoy having weddings, and everyone has a great time with all the many activities Teal Lake as to offer. Instead of a single night celebration, extend it over a few days, there is plenty to keep everyone amused. We are happy to work closing with you in the organizing, and even have a special packet to help organize it. Please contact us directly for details.

We're watching for the trial to start today for a murder suspect accused of killing his girlfriend in Greenville.
Max Tejada, 25, is accused of fatal stabbing Elizabeth Hope Cutler of Washington last summer. Police say she was killed at the Sedge-Field Apartments on Concord Drive in Greenville last June.
Witnesses told police they saw a man and a woman in a dispute and as the woman began to use a cell phone, the man threw it on the pavement and then stabbed her several times.
We'll keep you posted on Tejada's case.

Confessions (告白, Kokuhaku) is episode 166 of the Naruto: Shippuden anime.
Naruto is still being pinned down by the Deva Path and is ready to take him away when Hinata appears to aid him. Naruto is not pleased by this at all and tells her to run as she is no match for the Deva Path. She stays and tells him that he's always been her inspiration. Hinata tells Naruto that she's not afraid at all to die protecting him, because she loves him, leaving Naruto speechless. As Hinata tries to break Pain's hold over Naruto, Deva Path engages her in battle. Hinata attempts to break Naruto free but is repelled by Shinra Tensei. After struggling to reach Naruto over and over, she decides to stand and fight, only to be overpowered every time. As the battle continues, Konoha shinobi start the hunt for Nagato. Nagato is weakened for a second and coughs blood, while Deva Path is hit by her, she takes the opportunity to try freeing Naruto once more, but is once more brutally repelled into the air and falls. Hinata flashes back to her childhood, where she wanted to be a great ninja like her parents. She sees a young Naruto shouting at everybody that he will become Hokage, and is told not to get involved with that boy for reasons unknown to her. She recalls running and knocking down some kid's ice cream, and the boy and his friends take her to the Ninja Academy to pick on her when she cries and attempts escape, but is caught. Naruto then arrives and tells them to stop but is punched by one of them. He rises and makes a failed attempt to make a clone. They laugh at him, and he attacks the boy and punches him. His friends pull him off and they jump him. Later, Hinata's guard arrives to chase them away, but against Hinata's will, they leave an unconscious Naruto on the ground. After the flashback, Hinata awakens to find Naruto calling her to see if she's alive, extremely frustrated. Then, she crawls towards Naruto with her remaining strength. Pain is puzzled by Hinata, who doggedly fought and protected Naruto despite her weaknesses, declaring it was her nindō as she just reaches Naruto. Through Shinra Tensei, she is hurled high up into the air and slammed hard into the ground, and is then stabbed and seemingly killed. Naruto is speechless and appears traumatised. Hinata's "death" triggered an explosion of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's power of the enraged Naruto, creating a powerful stream of the Nine Tails' chakra into the newly formed clouds.
- This episode heavily expands the scene from the manga. In the manga, Hinata only initiated the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists technique, but Pain stopped her from using her technique while she was running towards him. In the anime, she battles him for quite some time. She also made no attempt to remove the chakra receivers in the manga unlike in the anime. Instead, choosing a more direct approach in opting to try and force Pain away from the pinned Naruto and buy him some time.

The wars U.S. forces are fighting today—and can be expected to fight in the foreseeable future—undoubtedly are shaping the military services' requirements for new and improved technology.
The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly, have underscored the importance of joint operations and equipment interoperability among the services and with coalition allies.
The concept that describes the ability of weapon systems to work jointly is "net-centricity." Military planners and defense policymakers have wrestled for years with a fundamental question: How can U.S. military operations be "net-centric" when most weapon systems were developed in isolation and are not interoperable?
The U.S. Joint Forces Command, which was given the responsibility to help set joint requirements for the services to achieve network-centric systems, is working on a number of efforts, including a joint command-and-control battle management roadmap and experiments in joint missions areas. According to JFCOM, the transformation of the military to achieve net-centricity is the command's primary mission.
At the Defense Department, meanwhile, there is an ongoing effort worth highlighting, because it focuses on joint tactics, techniques and procedures. It essentially zeroes in on testing the ability of war fighters to operate jointly with today's equipment, organization and doctrine.
Obviously, joint operations and joint requirements are far from new concepts. But the joint test and evaluation of multiple systems in a single operational scenario is not something that has been done on a routine basis. It requires a lot more cooperation and planning than ever before.
Under the Defense Department's Joint Test & Evaluation program (JT&E), the military services or regional combatant commanders can seek funds to help solve operational issues through the development of joint tactics, techniques and procedures, changes to operational processes and command-and-control architectures. Joint issues are resolved using operational T&E techniques, not experiments or demonstrations.
In a presentation to an NDIA symposium last month, Mike Crisp, deputy director for air warfare at the Defense Department's operational test and evaluation office, said the services need "joint operational solutions," rather than just new hardware acquisitions.
The $40 million JT&E program marks a step in that direction.
A nominating organization—a military service or unified command, for example—can propose JT&E projects. The selected efforts receive funding for operational tests, but the services must provide personnel, test assets, venues and facilities.
Key to this endeavor is the development of better modeling and simulations that can replicate operational settings in a realistic fashion. Current models have not reached the level of "physics-based" reality that is needed, but the technology gradually is improving.
The JT&E office so far has funded a number of projects, including:
More details on these can be found on the program's web site www.jte.osd.mil.
A number of issues, however, need to be addressed to make this program successful. Getting the proper resources is a major concern. The services need new technology and facilities for joint testing. Clearly, it's too expensive to bring together assets such as ships and aircraft in battle group for testing. More advanced simulation technologies are critical to this effort. One example is the joint engineering distributed plant, or JDEP, a massive hardware-in-the-loop simulation managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency. But more modeling and simulation is needed at the program and system level. These technologies are expensive, but they are necessary to ensure that systems will work as expected when they are sent to war. In other words, they will allow forces to test their systems the same way they fight.
As the Defense Department and the services continue on the path toward network-centric operations, it is imperative that the joint testing of weapons systems become integrated into the broader development and engineering cycle. This is an important goal, especially at a time when interoperability and connectivity among the services and their coalition partners are not just luxuries, but necessities.

Keeping Pennsylvania Growing means ensuring access to nutritious food for all Pennsylvanians. With more than 1.2 million citizens who are at-risk for hunger, the Bureau of Food Distribution is a vital part of the process that helps move food from the farm to the dinner table so more people can share in Pennsylvania's bountiful harvest.
Pennsylvania is one of a small number of states that funds its own State Food Purchase Program, or SFPP. Through SFPP funding, Pennsylvania's more than 1,800 local food banks and pantries, lead agencies and soup kitchens are able to secure food products as well as additional federal funding. Thanks to the support of the Pennsylvania legislature, Pennsylvania is able to support those who are food insecure, which is an important message to citizens who may not know where their next meal is coming from.
The Bureau also manages Pennsylvania's food and funding allocations for programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program, Commodity Supplemental Food Program, National School Lunch Program, Summer Feeding Program, Farmers Market Nutrition Program and others. This work is done in conjunction with USDA and many local partners who make up the state's charitable food system.
The Bureau can be reached at 800-468-2433, or e-mailing at, email@example.com
Local Emergency Feeding Programs and Resources: Information on local emergency feeding programs and resources is also available through The National Hunger Hotline. The Hotline connects individuals in need to emergency food in their community, government assistance programs, and various social services. The Hotline can be reached at (866) 348-6479 and their web address is: National Hunger Hotline."
One size doesn't fit all. Provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), www.MyPyramid.gov offers personalized eating plans and interactive tools to help you plan/ assess your food choices based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Civil Rights Training:Lead staff of agencies participating in the bureau's food assistance programs – those staff dealing directly with the public – must receive Civil Rights training on an annual basis. Compliance with this federal regulation can be satisfied by reviewing a Power Point presentation and then completing a Self-Certification form. Both documents can be found by expanding "Publications" below and then clicking on "General Publications" and then on "USDA Civil Rights Compliance Webinar" and then on "Self-Certification: Civil Rights Training Webinar".

A Meeting With Destiny (因縁あいまみえる, Innen Aimamieru) is episode 13 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Kisame starts things off with Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave at his bout with Team Guy, while Kakashi warns the others about Itachi's Sharingan techniques. He learned from Guy that the way to fight someone like Itachi is to focus on their feet and body, and then anticipate their moves from there. Chiyo sees it a bit differently. In a one on one battle, battling Itachi would seem impossible, but when more than one person enters the fray, the odds change. One person would be the bait to take Itachi's genjutsu, while someone could attack Itachi from behind. If that didn't work, the genjutsu can be dispelled by touching your ally and flowing your chakra into their body. Just as Naruto steps forward, Kakashi halts him.
Guy and his squad continue to avoid the onslaught of the enormous tidal wave Kisame has created. Kakashi re-examines Chiyo's theory about countering genjutsu. She would be right if they were dealing with normal genjutsu, but trying to take on Mangekyō Sharingan is suicide. Kakashi thinks back to when he had to endure the effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan when Itachi came to the Konohagakure awhile ago. While it seems that only a second passes in the real world, in the world of Tsukuyomi, minutes, hours, and days at a time can pass. Dispelling something like the Mangekyō isn't possible. However, Kakashi also remembers that the Mangekyō Sharingan is a double-edged sword. When Itachi uses it, not only does it use an enormous amount of chakra, but it does a number on his eyesight. Kakashi wonders just how bad Itachi's eyesight has become.
Kisame and Guy continue fighting. Guy is about to get hit by a hard swipe from Samehada, but Lee intervenes with Leaf Rising Wind, knocking the weapon out of Kisame's hand. Kisame is then sent flying back when Neji attacks him with his Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm. Just as he catches Samehada back, a big spiked kunai bomb thrown by Tenten hits the sword. The attached exploding tag detonates, and Kisame has to submerge in the water to avoid the blast.
Kakashi informs Itachi their battle would be different than the last one since he let his guard down, and the same goes for Naruto. However, just as Kakashi had done long ago when all of Team 7 had to protect Tazuna from Zabuza, he tells Naruto at he'll do the battling, but he does need Naruto's help since Itachi's no pushover.
Guy prepares for his counterattack. While he distracts Kisame, the others will attack with everything they've got. However, Kisame isn't one to leave himself open to attacks. Guy narrowly avoids another swipe from Samehada while Neji goes on the offensive and tries a Gentle Fist strike, only for Kisame to block it with the sword. Lee tries to attack from behind with a pair of tonfa, but he is also repelled by Kisame. Lee realises that hand-to-hand combat isn't working against Kisame, and Tenten responds by summoning a barrage of kunai with exploding tags attached, but even this does nothing to penetrate Kisame's defences. Guy then realises that Samehada is Kisame's weapon. As Neji points out, something simple like that could be figured out just by looking at Kisame, but to Guy, there's a huge difference between thinking and knowing that it's his weapon. Lee seems to be pretty enthusiastic about it, but not Neji and Tenten.
Kisame retracts his earlier comment and says that Guy has the brain of an insect as opposed to an animal. Guy springs forward with Dynamic Action.
Kakashi springs forward with a punch that's easily caught by Itachi when another Itachi rushes past him. Naruto nails the shadow clone dead on with a Rasengan. Naruto then turns around to find Chiyo and Sakura lying unconscious on the ground. Sakura stands up, but materialises into Itachi.
Guy manages to get Samehada away from Kisame while the others attack. They are all battered off by three water clones that Kisame created. He then uses his Water Prison Technique to trap Neji, Tenten, and Lee. Just as Guy prepares to strike Kisame with Samehada, his hands are pierced when blades emerge and the blade goes flying.
Itachi is now in front of and behind Naruto. Kakashi then stands up, but it ends up being another Itachi's clone.

WAPANUCKA, OK-The Wapanucka city council announced a plan Tuesday night that they hope will help solve their ongoing water problems.
City officials signed an agreement with the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations Tuesday to drill three test wells to find out if the city has ample groundwater. Mayor Sue Standifer said both nations agreed to pay for the entire cost of the project, which is $18,000. She said the test drilling will help the city decide if they'll drill new wells or buy water from Atoka.
We attended the council meeting, but none of the city council members would answer our questions on camera. We'll continue to follow this story.

WASHINGTON (AP) - D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera scored a career-high 33 points - the most by any Georgetown player this season - and the No. 11 Hoyas moved back into a tie for first place in the Big East with a 90-66 win over DePaul.
Smith-Rivera went 10 for 12 from the field, 8 for 10 from the free-throw line and made 5 of 6 3-pointers, scoring the most points by a Georgetown freshman in John Thompson III's nine seasons as coach.
Nate Lubick added 15 points, and Jabril Trawick had 13 as the Hoyas pulled away with a 15-4 run at the end of the half. They won their eighth straight on a night when they barely needed marquee player Otto Porter, who scored 11 points and sat out the final 17 minutes after banging his right knee in the first half.
