General architecture
This module is split in two:
- Client side, a set of JS classes:
- mapfish.PrintProtocol: Non-GUI dependant class for communicating with the server side.
- mapfish.widgets.print.SimpleForm: Ext panel allowing to print a single page document.
- mapfish.widgets.print.MultiPage: Ext panel allowing to print a multipage document.
- mapfish.widgets.print.PrintControl: An !Openlayers control for getting a PDF in a simple click.
- Server side, three implementations:
- ShellMapPrinter: A command line implementation of the map printing service. Used mainly by the python implementation and for debug.
- MapPrinterServlet: A java servlet implementing the protocol used by mapfish.PrintProtocol.
- PrinterController: A Pylons servlet implementing the protocol used by mapfish.PrintProtocol. It uses ShellMapPrinter to enter the java world and do the work.
The server side uses a YAML configuration file that defines the page layouts and allowed values. For more details see the "Server side Configuration" chapter.
The client side, before displaying the forms, can request the server side about the available page layouts, the allowed scales and resolutions.
Server side Configuration
Here is the general structure:
dpis: - 254 - 190 {...} scales: - 25000 - 50000 {...} hosts: - {HOST_WHITELIST_DEFINITION} {...} ?fonts: ? - {PATH} layouts: {LAYOUT_NAME}: ? metaData: ? {METADATA_DEFINITION} ? titlePage: ? {PAGE_DEFINITION} mainPage: ? rotation: false {PAGE_DEFINITION} ? lastPage: ? {PAGE_DEFINITION} {...}
Optional parts are shown with a question mark in the left margin. The question marks must not be put in the configuration file. Their default values is shown.
In general, PDF dimensions and positions are specified in points. 72 points == 1 inch == 25.4 mm.
The list of {HOST_WHITELIST_DEFINITION} defines the allowed URLs for getting maps. Its format will be defined in the next sub-section.
You can have as many layouts as you want. Their name must be unique and will be used on the client side. A layout can have a "titlePage" that will be added at the beginning of the generated document. It cannot contain any map. Same for the "lastPage", but for the end of the document. The "mainPage" section is mandatory and will be used once for each page requested. The details of a {PAGE_DEFINITION} section can be found in another sub-section of this document.
If you want to let the user rotate the map (for a given layout), you have to set the "rotate" field to "true" in the corresponding "mainPage" section.
Fonts definition
The "fonts" section is optional. It contains the path of the fonts you want to use. The entries can point to files (TTF, OTF, TTC, AFM, PFM) or directories. Don't point to directories containing too many files since it will slow down the start time. By default, PDF gives you access to the following fonts (Cp1252 encoding only):
- Courrier (-Bold, -Oblique, -BoldOblique)
- Helvetica (-Bold, -Oblique, -BoldOblique)
- Times (-Roman, -Bold, -Oblique, -BoldOblique)
- Symbol
- ZapfDingbats
Host whitelist definition
In this section, you can put as many entries as you want. If at least one matches, the Map server can be used.
This section is not for defining what client can request maps. It is just here to avoid having the print module as a proxy to access documents from computers behind firewalls.
There are 3 ways to whitelist a host.
Allowing every local services:
- !localMatch dummy: true
The "dummy" parameter is ignored, but mandatory to avoid a limitation in the YAML format.
Allowing by DNS name:
- !dnsMatch host: labs.metacarta.com
Allowing by IP address:
- !ipMatch ip: www.camptocamp.org ? mask: 255.255.255.255
The "ip" parameter can be a DNS name that will be resolved or directly an IP address.
All the methods accept the following optional parameters:
- port: to limit to a certain TCP port
- pathRegexp: a regexp that must match the path part of the URL (before the '?').
Metadata definition
Allow to add some metadata to the generated PDF. They are visible in acroread in the File->Properties menu.
The structure is like that:
metaData: ? title: '' ? author: '' ? subject: '' ? keywords: '' ? creator: '' ? supportLegacyReader: false
All fields are optional and can use global variables, as defined in the Block definition chapter. Page specific variables are not accessible.
Page definition
The structure is like that:
pageSize: A4 ? landscape: false ? marginLeft: 40 ? marginRight: 40 ? marginTop: 20 ? marginBottom: 20 ? backgroundPdf: template.pdf ? header: height: 50 items: - {BLOCK_DEFINITION} {...} items: - {BLOCK_DEFINITION} {...} ? footer: height: 50 items: - {BLOCK_DEFINITION} {...}
If "backgroundPdf" is specified, the first page of the given PDF file will be added as background of every page.
The "header" and "footer" sections are optional. If the "items" that are in the main section are too big, more pages are generated. The header and footer will be drawn on those pages as well.
Here is a short list of supported pageSizes:
If you want to use a custom page size, you can set pageSize to the width and the height separated by a space.
Block definition
The next sub-sections document the possible types of blocks.
In general, text values or URLs can contain values taken from the spec structure coming with the client's request. A syntax similar to shell is used: ${variableName}. If the current page is a titlePage, only the root values are taken. If it's a mainPage, the service will first look in the current page section then in the root values. Here is how to use this functionality:
text: 'The value of mapTitle is: ${mapTitle}'
Some virtual variables can be used:
- ${pageNum}: The current page number.
- ${pageTot}: The total number of pages. Can be used only in text blocks.
- ${now}: The current date and time as defined by the machine's locale.
- ${now FORMAT}: The current date and time as defined by the FORMAT string. The syntax is documented here.
- ${configDir}: The absolute path to the directory of the configuration file.
- ${format PRINTF VAR}: Format the value of VAR using the provided PRINTF format (for example: %,d).
All the blocks can have a condition attribute that take an spec attribute name. If the attribute name exists and is not equal to "false" or "0", the block is drawn. Otherwise, it is ignored. An exclamation mark may precede the condition to invert it.
Text block
- !text ? font: Helvetica ? fontSize: 12 ? fontEncoding: Cp1252 ? fontColor: black ? spacingAfter: 0 ? align: left ? vertAlign: middle ? backgroundColor: #FFFFFF text: 'Blahblah'
Typical "fontEncoding" values are:
- Cp1250
- Cp1252
- Cp1257
- Identity-H (horizontal UTF-8)
- Identity-V (vertical UTF-8)
- MacRoman
The "font" must refer to a standard PDF font or a declared font.
Image block
- !image maxWidth: 200 maxHeight: 100 ? spacingAfter: 0 ? align: left ? vertAlign: middle url: http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/chrome/site/img/mapfish.png
Supported formats are PNG, GIF, Jpeg, Jpeg2000, BMP, WMF (vector), SVG and TIFF.
The original aspect ratio will be respected. The url can contain "${}" variables.
Columns block
- !columns ? config: {TABLE_CONFIG} ? widths: [25,25,25,25] ? backgroundColor: #FFFFFF ? absoluteX: null ? absoluteY: null ? width: {PAGE_WIDTH} ? spacingAfter: 0 ? nbColumns: -1 items: - {BLOCK_DEFINITION} {...}
By default, the width of the columns will be equal.
Each item will be in its own column.
If the absoluteX, absoluteY and width are given, the columns block will be floating on top of the page at the specified position.
Every block type is allowed except for map if the column has an absolute position.
Look here for how to specify the config field.
Map block
Allowed only within a mainPage.
- !map ? name: map ? spacingAfter: 0 ? align: left ? vertAlign: middle ? absoluteX: null ? absoluteY: null ? absoluteX: null ? overviewMap: null width: 440 height: 483
If the absoluteX, absoluteY and width are given, the map block will be floating on top of the page at the specified position.
If overviewMap is specified, the map will be an overview of the extent augmented by the given factor.
The name is what will be displayed in the Acrobat's reader layer panel. The map layers will be displayed bellow it.
Scalebar block
Display a scalebar.
Allowed only within a mainPage.
- !scalebar maxSize: 150 ? type: line ? intervals: 3 ? subIntervals: false ? units: m ? barSize: 5 ? lineWidth: 1 ? barDirection: up ? textDirection: up ? labelDistance: 3 ? font: Helvetica ? fontSize: 12 ? fontColor: black ? color: #000000 ? barBgColor: null ? spacingAfter: 0 ? align: left ? vertAlign: middle ? backgroundColor: #FFFFFF
The scalebar, will adapt its width up to maxSize (includes the labels) in order to have a multiple of 1, 2 or 5 values at each graduation. For example:
- 0, 1, 2, ...
- 0, 2, 4, ...
- 0, 5, 10, ...
- 0, 10, 20, ...
The barSize is the thickness of the bar or the height of the tick marks on the line. The lineWith is for the thickness of the lines (or bar border).
Units can be any of:
- m (mm, cm, m or km)
- ft (in, ft, yd, mi)
- degrees (min, sec, °)
If the value is too big or too small, the module will switch to one of the unit in parenthesis (the same unit is used for every intervals).
The number of intervals can be set to anything >=2. Labels are drawn only at main intervals. If there is no space to display a label at a certain interval, this label won't be displayed. If subIntervals are enabled, their number will depend on the length of an interval.
The type can be:
- line: A simple line with graduations
- bar: A thick bar with a suite of color and barBgColor blocks.
- bar_sub: Like bar, but with little lines for labels.
The bar and/or text orientation can be set to "up", "down", "left" or "right".
The align attribute is for placing the whole scalebar withing the surrounding column or page. The vertAlign attribute is used only when placed in a column.
Labels are always centered on the graduation, at a distance specified by labelDistance.
Attributes block
Allows to display a table of the displayed feature's attributes.
Allowed only within a mainPage.
- !attributes source: results ? tableConfig: {TABLE_CONFIG} columnDefs: {COLUMN_NAME}: header: {BLOCK_DEFINITION} cell: {BLOCK_DEFINITION} {...}
Look here for how to specify the tableConfig field.
The source value defines the name of the entry in the root of the client's spec. For example, it would look like that:
{ ... pages: [ { ... results: { data: [ {id:1, name: 'blah', icon: 'icon_pan'}, ... ], columns: ['id', 'name', 'icon'] } } ] ... }
With this spec you would have to define 3 columnDefs with the names id, name and icon. Each cell definition blocks have access to all the values of the current row.
The spec part is filled automatically by the 2 MapFish widgets when their grids parameter is set.
Here is a crazy example of columnDef that will show the name of the icon and it's bitmap side-by-side inside a single column:
columnDefs: icon: header: !text text: Symbol backgroundColor: #A0A0A0 cell: !columns items: - !text text: '${icon}' - !image align: center maxWidth: 15 maxHeight: 15 url: 'http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/trunk/MapFish/client/mfbase/mapfish/img/${icon}.png'
Legends block
Display each layers along with its classes (icons and labels).
- !legends ? maxIconWidth: 8 ? maxIconHeight: 8 ? classIndentation: 20 ? layerSpace: 5 ? classSpace: 2 ? backgroundColor: #FFFFFF ? layerFont: Helvetica ? layerFontSize: 10 ? classFont: Helvetica ? classFontSize: 8 ? fontEncoding: Cp1252
layerSpace and classSpace is to specify the line space to add before layers and classes.
For this to work, you need to set the layerTree config option on MF print widgets.
Table configuration
The columns block and the attributes block can take a table configuration object like that:
config: ? borderWidth: 0 ? borderWidthLeft: 0 ? borderWidthRight: 0 ? borderWidthTop: 0 ? borderWidthBottom: 0 ? borderColor: black ? borderColorLeft: black ? borderColorRight: black ? borderColorTop: black ? borderColorBottom: black ? cells: ? - {CELL_CONFIGURATION}
A cell configuration looks like that:
? row: {...} ? col: {...} ? borderWidth: 0 ? borderWidthLeft: 0 ? borderWidthRight: 0 ? borderWidthTop: 0 ? borderWidthBottom: 0 ? borderColor: black ? borderColorLeft: black ? borderColorRight: black ? borderColorTop: black ? borderColorBottom: black ? padding: 0 ? paddingLeft: 0 ? paddingRight: 0 ? paddingTop: 0 ? paddingBottom: 0 ? backgroundColor: white ? align: LEFT ? vertAlign: TOP
The stuff configured at table level is for the table border, not every cell.
The cells list defines overrides for some cells. The cells an override is applied to is defined by the row and col attribute. Those attributes can have several formats:
- 0: apply only to row or column 0 (the first)
- 0-10: applies only the row or columns from 0 to 10
- or you can use any regular expression
Every matching overrides is applied in order and will override the values defined in the previous ones.
For example, if you want to draw an attribute block like that:
You define that:
- !attributes tableConfig: borderWidth: 1 cells: # match every cell (default cell formatting) - borderWidthBottom: 0.5 borderWidthLeft: 0.5 padding: 4 paddingTop: 0 # match every even cell (yellowish background) - row: '\d*[02468]' backgroundColor: #FFFFCC # for the header - row: 0 borderWidthBottom: 1 backgroundColor: #FA0002 align: center {...}
Four commands are available and are documented in the next sections.
Every command uses the HTTP status code to notify errors.
HTTP command:
GET {PRINT_URL}/info.json?url={PRINT_URL}%2Finfo.json&var=printConfig
Returns a JSON structure as such:
var printConfig = { "scales":[ {"name":"25000"}, {"name":"50000"}, {"name":"100000"} ], "dpis":[ {"name":"190"}, {"name":"254"} ], "layouts":[ { "name":"A4 portrait", "map":{ "width":440, "height":483 } } ], "printURL":"http:\/\/localhost:5000\/print\/print.pdf", "createURL":"http:\/\/localhost:5000\/print\/create.json" }
This can be loaded through an HTML script tag like that:

Or through an AJAX request by omitting the "var" query parameter. All the print widget implementations have a "configUrl" parameter. If this parameter is set, the widget will do this request by AJAX automatically.
The "url" query parameter is here to help the print servlet to know what URL is used by the browser to access the servlet. This parameter is here because the servlet can be behind a proxy, hiding the real URL.
HTTP command:
GET {PRINT_URL}/print.pdf?spec={SPEC}
The "SPEC" parameter is a JSON structure like that:
{ layout: 'A4 portrait', ...CUSTOM_PARAMS... srs: 'EPSG:4326', units: 'degrees', layers: [ { type: 'WMS', layers: ['basic'], baseURL: 'http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0', format: 'image/jpeg' } ], pages: [ { center: [6, 45.5], scale: 4000000, dpi: 190, ...CUSTOM_PARAMS... } ] }
The location to show on the map can be specified with a center and a scale as show or with a bbox like that:
bbox: [5, 45, 6, 46]
The print module will use the nearest scale and will make sure the aspect ratio stays correct.
There are two locations where custom parameters can be added. Those will be ignored by the web service but, will be accessible from the layout templates.
For the format of the layers section, please look at the implementations pointed by mapfish.PrintProtocol.SUPPORTED_TYPES.
This command returns the PDF file directly.
HTTP command:
POST {PRINT_URL}/create.json?url={PRINT_URL}%2Fcreate.json
The spec defined in the "print.pdf" command must be included in the POST body.
Returns a JSON structure like that:
{ getURL: 'http:\/\/localhost:5000\/print\/56723.pdf' }
The URL returned can be used to retrieve the PDF file. See the next section.
This command's URL is returned by the "create.json" command.
HTTP command:
GET {PRINT_URL}/{ID}.pdf
Returns the PDF. Can be called only during a limited time since the server side temporary file is deleted afterwards.
Client side
Please look at the examples in examples/print/ examples/print/.
All the JS classes are accepting an overrides parameters. This parameter can be used to change the OL layers settings just for the print output. This can be usefull for several purpose:
- Go around a TileCache server and access the WMS server directly (baseURL and layers).
- Change the format of the requested map (format).
- Change the style (styles).
Any value passed in the spec can be overridden like this.
It is a dictionary where the key are the layer's names and the values are dictionaries of parameters to change when printing.
For example:
var overrides = { 'rivers': { format: 'image/svg+xml' }, 'far': { visibility: false }, 'sometimes' { visibility: false, 300: { visibility: true } } }
In this case, the rivers layer will be printed vectorized (type 2 layer) and the far layer won't be printed. For the sometimes layer, we use the possibility to have an override that depends on the DPI chosen by the use for printing and this layer will be printed only when 300DPI is chosen.
Override legends
To use another text in legend (layer name or classe name), we can use the attribut "printText" in layer tree model:
... text: ' ' + OpenLayers.i18n('Layer label'), checked: false, layerNames: ['myLayer'], printText: OpenLayers.i18n('Print layer label'), children : [ {text: 'Zone 1: 0.6 m/s2', printText: 'Zone 1: 0.6 m/s2' } ] ...
Please read the README.
All I get in my PDF is: "ERROR: infinite table loop".
Something in your page is too big. For example, the width or the height of your !map block.
I tried to print (pylons mode) and I get a "Java error". What's next?
Look in the apache error log, you'll find more information.
What are the limitations of the type 2 layers?
It depends mostly on the map server you use. For the moment, GeoServer has not been extensively tested. With MapServer:
- The PDF output must be enabled when you compile and doesn't work in WMS mode, only in native MapServer mode. There are some limitations. on the styling. And you must use truetype fonts.
- The SVG output is limited regarding the stylings you can use. For example only plain polygon fillings are supported by MapServer. If a complex styling is used, your features may appear plain black.
I tried to change the layout and half the Map is printed off the page on the right. Or I have an empty page added. Is it a bug?
It's mostly a feature ;-) . This kind of behavior can be seen in iText, when adding a block that is too big for the page size. Try to reduce the size of your map block.
When I look at my generated PDF in Acrobat Reader, it looks good. But, when I print it, it misses some tiles/layers, some bitmaps are just weird or there are no page printed. What's wrong?
There are three possible explanations:
- Your printer has not enough memory: in Acrobat's print dialog, select "Save printer memory"
- Your printer firmware is buggy: upgrade it
- Your printer driver is buggy: upgrade it
The module needs to go through a proxy to acces the map services.
It's so 90s... you should hire some fresh guys for your IT team. ;-)
You need to set some system properties (http.proxy*) when you start your java programs.
When I try to print under IE7, a window opens and closes right away even if I have the popup blocking disabled. Is it a bug?
No, it's a IE7 "feature". For that to work, you have to set:
Internet Options > Security > Custom level... > Downloads > Automatic prompring for file downloads = Enable

Undercover officers rounded up several people during a prostitution sting Wednesday night.
Greenville police say 5 people face multiple charges. 31-year-old Antoinette Fleet, 27-year-old Jennifer Gurganus, and 45-year-old Rosa Williams are charged with solicitation for prostitution of an undercover officer. 42-year-old Cecelio Chavez is charged with crimes against nature and 27-year-old Uriel Roblero is accused of solicitation.
Detectives say on Chestnut and Columbia Avenue in Greenville, the women would stop vehicles offering sexual favors for money. Residents who live in the area say they've seen the activity lately and are thankful officers made the arrests.
"It makes me feel a little better, that they're actually doing their job and cleaning up the streets a little bit," said nearby Resident Staci Trent.
Greenville Police say their impact team conducts these types of operations often in high risk areas.

GNOME First Steps
Revision as of 16:29, October 28, 2013 by Duncan.Britton (Talk) (→Preparing to emerge)
What is GNOME?
"GNOME 3 is an easy and elegant way to use your computer. It is designed to put you in control and bring freedom to everybody. GNOME 3 is developed by the GNOME community, a diverse, international group of contributors that is supported by an independent, non-profit foundation." GNOME
Preparing to emerge
To get your system ready to emerge gnome, it is recommended that you first set the gnome mix-in profile. To accomplish this, do the following:
# eselect profile list Currently available flavor profiles: [6] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/minimal [7] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/core [8] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/desktop [9] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/workstation [10] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/flavor/hardened Currently available mix-ins profiles: [11] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio [12] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras [13] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd [14] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome [15] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde [16] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/mate [17] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media [18] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print [19] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/python3-only [20] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat [21] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db [22] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-mail [23] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-web [24] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X [25] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/xfce [26] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/vmware-guest [27] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened
After seeing a list of available profiles, we want to add in the gnome profile. To do this, run the following:
# eselect profile set-flavor 8 # eselect profile add 14
You are provided with two packages that will pull in this desktop environment:
- gnome -- This is the "whole shabang" - pulls in a range of applications made for the gnome desktop environment including a few games, an archive manager, a system monitor, a web browser, a terminal, etc.
- gnome-light
To emerge gnome-light run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome-light
To emerge gnome run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome

CLAREMONT, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California church nativity scene is featuring a bloody Trayvon Martin in place of the infant Jesus in an effort to stir a community conversation about gun violence.
The nativity scene on the lawn of the Claremont United Methodist Church — which shows Martin in a hoodie, slumped over and bleeding — was created by 57-year-old congregant and artist John Zachary.
Zachary, who in the past has created installations addressing homelessness and poverty, said he wanted to make the Nativity relevant to modern times and generate a community conversation, the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday.
Zachary said he chose to focus on the Florida teenager whose shooting death captured the nation to draw a parallel to the dark times in which Jesus was born.
But some faithful have shuddered at the depiction and called it sacrilege.
Retiree Viola Saunders, who stopped and took some pictures of the scene with her phone, said she thought the Nativity was too sacred to modify.

Skin is the external covering of a lifeform, consisting of a membranous tissue made up of skin cells. Skin is the largest body organ found on humanoids. The study of skin, in terms of its structure, function and skin-related diseases is known as dermatology.
Skin color is often a distinguishable trait between different alien species and has been the focal point of slang terms such as pink skin or "monotone" to more extreme xenophobic actions such as war, one such skin color driven war destroyed the population of Cheron. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"; ENT: "The Andorian Incident", et al)
Historically on Earth skin tones were often used to justify many heinous acts and prejudice, such as the problems of racism encountered by Benny Russell in the 1950s. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
In 2369, the Ferengi bartender Quark noted that Chief Miles O'Brien's face got very pink when he was aggravated, much more so than most other Humans. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")
After traveling back in time to the year 2063, the Borg Queen grafted skin onto Data's android frame in an attempt to make him more susceptible to the Borg Collective's seduction. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Officine Panerai watches was founded in Florence Italy in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai. Officine Panerai is still headquartered in Italy but has moved the production of their watches to Switzerland. In the early 1900's Panerai was the official supplier of watches and precision instruments for the Italian Royal Navy. Officine Panerai were one of the first watch manufacturing companies to experiment and use luminescent techniques to create wristwatches that are easy to read in low light. The unique design style of the Luminor and Radiomir, have led to the rapid rise in popularity for Officine Panerai watches today.

|September 24, 2012 (4301)
|April 11, 2013 (4326)
Sesame Street's 43rd season debuted on September 24, 2012.[1] The first half of street stories were filmed during the season 42 production period, with the second half being filmed during the season 44 period (started on September 20, 2012).[2] Inserts for the season were filmed between January and April 2012.[2] Filming for new Word on the Street and other tune-in segments took place in various New York locals in late May.[3] One new tune-in segment focuses on the "people in your neighborhood." (YouTube)
Season overview
Season 43 continues Sesame Workshop's STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), expanding it to STEAM (adding Art). "What's the Word on the Street?" returns for its 6th season, featuring 22 new words (4 of which are re-used from season 39 and season 41). The season also deals with self-regulation, promoting dealing with feelings, following directions, staying on task, and self-control.
Replacing the long-running "Elmo's World" segment is a brand-new segment, "Elmo the Musical." The 11 minute segment features Elmo imagining himself in many musical adventures that teach math skills, such as counting and geometry. 10 segments have been produced. Also appearing are new installments of Abby's Flying Fairy School and "Super Grover 2.0."
New parody segments this season include The Voice, "Birdwalk Empire" (spoofing Boardwalk Empire), "Upside Down Abbey" (spoofing Downton Abbey) and "Five By," a spoof of Train's "Drive By."

text: The growth hormone stimulation test is usually performed to identify if hGH (human growth hormone) is deficient. The test is performed by administering the amino acid arginine in a vein to raise hGH levels. The test measures the ability of the pituitary to secrete growth hormone in response to the arginine. Lack of hGH can cause growth retardation in infants and children.

I think they might introduce a female protangoist as I was in Tescos in Crawley UK, and they were advertising box art work to pre-order it and one of the covers were of the woman getting arrested, do you think that could be a sign? White&Gold (talk) 17:35, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
I really hope they introduce a female protagonist soon. It's not that I'm some kind of sex freak or something, I just think only dudes all the way gets so monotonous. Getalanoar (talk) 13:08, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
no that's most likely tracy michaels daughter Mrtommygunwhite (talk) 21:59, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
I doubt Franklin, Tommy and Luiz are the only ones who have been in prison. Wasn't Claude being transported between two prisons in the beginning of GTA III.
- That's right. Johnny Klebitz and Niko Bellic (in Europe) have been in prison too. Aegirsson (talk) 20:18, May 5, 2013 (UTC)
does anyone else think he could be CJ's son? I mean im pretty sure this takes place around now, and since san andreas took place in the early nineties i think it is a very realistic possibility that he could be Franklin Johnson. also another thing, doesnt he sound extremely similar to CJ???JimmyBaccas (talk) 01:11, May 9, 2013 (UTC)JimmyBaccas
Beta appearance?
This was just a small thing I wanted to look over, it's nothing major.
"Franklin's 'beta appearance' can be seen in the first trailer of GTA V. He is thinner, less muscular and has many tattoos."I'm pretty sure that this is referring to the street criminal we saw running away from the cops in trailer 1, however if you look at the character in the Dewbauchee GT at 0:23 we can see that the one in the car is actually Franklin himself and he had no tattoos with no real change in his appearance from the what we've seen in the recent trailers. In Franklin's character trailer he is shown wearing a tanktop and having a watch, or some sort of item, on his left wrist. If you look closely during 0:23 seconds in the first trailer the one in the Dewbauchee GT has the same attire, including the item around the same wrist.
We can see this again at 1:04. If paused at the right time you can clearly see that this is the same guy. And you can see the item on his wrist more clearly.
I'm nearly 100% sure that the "beta" version of Franklin the trivia is referring to is just a random street criminal and isn't Franklin but I could be wrong since this is the first time I've ever did anything like this. Any thoughts though?--Sonicman0123456789 (talk) 08:08, July 6, 2013 (UTC)Sonicman0123456789
- Good point, I wrote that actually, it should be removed due to your observation. So let me get it: Rockstar had the characters and the map done since 2011 but the game releases late 2013?Dodo8 Talk
The wiki can keep it, I don't really care it was just a small observation I made and wanted to go over just for the sake of learning more about GTAV. Keep it, makes me no never mind.--Sonicman0123456789 (talk) 19:25, July 6, 2013 (UTC)Sonicman0123456789

Katie Holmes got a nom for Worst Supporting Actress for Batman Begins, despite that movie's acclaim?!?
Please finally nominate Robert De Niro for Worst Actor.

2005. Agent 005 had only appeared in the book Colonel Sun, which of course, is yet to be adapted into a film. He was a 00-Agent until he went legally blind and couldn't wield his guns. Here's my take on the Sun Colonel's Year.
Films that should've been RAZZed, but didn't: 3
The Amityville Horror [remake]
Aeon Flux
Films that got RAZZed, but shouldn't have: 4
Batman Begins
Kicking and Screaming
War of the Worlds [remake]
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Films that were RAZZed to the wrong degree: 1
Alone in the Dark (Not RAZZed enough)
Worst Trends/Events of 2005:V. "Stupid spoiled whore"'s Hollywood feature film debut (Had Paris Hilton actually starred in anything theatrical before House of Wax [remake]?)
IV. A narrow assortment of comedies, romances, and horrors (All 45-some-odd films that were at least considered for the RAZZIES in 2005 were strictly those 3 genres in their most vanilla sense. There wasn't one subtype of comedy, horror, or romance that stood out at all).
III. No-one went to the movies, and it's a complete mystery as to why! (For a year with more than 300 films released, revenues plunged in 2005. No-one can single out one or a few reasons for this dip.)
II. The tabloids refuse to shut up about the lip synced concert and the videotaped C-Section (Ashlee [Undiscovered] and Federline)
I. Tom Cruise's horrible year; Katie Holmes, War of the Worlds, an anti-psychiatry crusade, and Episode 912 (Trapped in the Closet, the episode in which Tom Cruise locks himself in Stan Marsh's closet, was a banner episode in South Park's history, and of all the bad things to happen to Tom Cruise lately, they were all packed into 2005. No year before or after brought half as many ill-fortuned events upon him!)

I don't know if you all will want to strangle me or put me in a 12 step program, but I have to confess... I love Bewitched. I mean I'm not saying it's the greatest movie of all time but I did love it for hat it is. I do have my problems with it. Like even today, I don't know why Will Ferrell is even in this movie. He seemed to be out of his element in this film and I do agree with the Razzie win for Worst Screen Couple. Both him and Nicole Kidman had no real chemistry. Just like that spell she casted on him later in the film, the love wasn't real.
However, I loved Nicole in this role (her voice did get a little annoying though at times). But I am still glad she didn't get nominated for Worst Actress. In fact, this movie actually lead me to watch the original TV Show with Elizabeth Montgomery :)
If you care to find me, Look to the Western Sky :)

I just re-watched it. Ferrell is funny during the scenes building up to the climax (when his characterbecomes addicted to coffee). That's where he's out of control but not as over-the-top as usual. The rest of the time he's kind of boring. The only actor who stands out in a good way is (surprisingly) Mike Ditka.
The final match is exciting, but the comedy is unfunny for the most part. You'd think that the plot hole that would bother me the most would be that Ferrell's character becomes a coach just by saying it, or that he's never expelled from the matches. No, the one that bothers me the most is that his character has no problem in saying what an awful person his father is and, yet, he goes out of his way trying to impress him. Why do they even talk to each other?
I give it a 3/10.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Anibal Sanchez tossed seven brilliant innings and
the Detroit Tigers beat the Derek Jeter-less New York Yankees, 3-0, on Sunday
to take a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series.
Miguel Cabrera, Avisail Garcia and Delmon Young had an RBI apiece for the
Tigers, who won 6-4 in 12 innings in Game 1 on Saturday night.
Sanchez (1-1) gave up just three hits while striking out seven and walking
three for Detroit. Phil Coke tossed two scoreless innings of relief.
Hiroki Kuroda (0-1), who was perfect through five innings, allowed three runs
on five hits over 7 2/3 innings for the Yankees, who had just four hits. The
right-hander struck out 11 and walked zero.
The Yankees played a postseason game without either Mariano Rivera or Jeter on
the roster for the first time since Oct. 28, 1981 (Game 6 of the World
Series). Jeter fractured his ankle in Game 1 and will miss the rest of the
postseason, while Rivera was lost in May to a torn ACL.
New York manager Joe Girardi celebrated his 48th birthday with an ejection.
Girardi was unhappy with what appeared to be a missed call by second base
umpire Jeff Nelson in the eighth inning. The Tigers went on to score two
insurance runs in the frame.
Game 3 will take place on Tuesday in Detroit.

The phaser control room was a section aboard Constitution-class starships responsible for the coordination and maintenance of the ship's phaser weapons.
In 2266, the phaser room of the USS Enterprise sustained heavy damage in battle with a Romulan Bird-of-Prey, causing the majority of the crewmembers stationed there to be injured and require treatment in sickbay. This left Lieutenant Robert Tomlinson manning the room alone, although he was later supplemented by Lieutenant Stiles. Due to the battle damage, a phaser coolant seal was breached, causing the room to fill up with the toxic substance. This resulted in Tomlinson and Stiles both losing consciousness. Although Stiles was saved by Spock, Tomlinson died as a result of his exposure. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

text: Dimmers are larger then standard sized switches for the purpose of better heat dissipation and cooling. In order for larger dimmers to fit side-by-side and line up with a multiple gang wall plate, a process of derating must occur. This is done by removing the thin metal tabs from either one side of each dimmer or both (depends on the application). This is called derating because it actually lowers the capacity load the dimmer can control, hence the dimmer has a lower rating.

"The Original Fry Cook" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season five. In this episode, SpongeBob feels inferior when a former Krusty Krab fry cook, Jim, visits.
It is a normal day at the Krusty Krab until Jim, the Original Fry Cook, arrives in his golden limousine. He, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward remember back when the Krusty Krab had "class". Jim makes a Krabby Patty and SpongeBob eats it and loves it. He wants to cook like Jim, and Jim says not to step on the patty, since the customers run over a Krabby Patty made by SpongeBob when headed to greet Jim. He then gives SpongeBob real lessons. But SpongeBob can't meet Jim's standards. So SpongeBob decides to resign and give his job to Jim. Jim tells SpongeBob he quit because Mr. Krabs laughed at him when he asked for a raise. Mr. Krabs reveals that SpongeBob has one thing Jim doesn't have: he's cheap! Jim tells SpongeBob that he could be an even greater frycook, but only if he leaves the Krusty Krab which he calls a dump. SpongeBob says that the restaurant isn't a dump. Mr. Krabs says it is a dump, but it's his dump.

This episode is ranked #1 on Tom Kenny's worst SpongeBob episodes list.
- Running Gag: Jim flushing SpongeBob's patties down the toilet.
- The UK "Kraze Klub" magazine says that Jim is a sponge.
- This is the first episode to have food create the title name, the next being Plankton's Regular, the third will be The Other Patty where it is written in chum.
- On the Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition video game, Jim is a character the player can draw, because he has a guideline.
- In the Battle for Bikini Bottom game, Squidward says "I've always been bald!", but in this episode, he has hair in a flashback.
- In Krusty Krab Training Video, when Mr. Krabs first opens the Krusty Krab, it looks the same as it does today, however in this episode, Mr. Krabs looks younger and the Krusty Krab looks different.
- Jim says that he has a lake that is "solid gold". However, it would not be considered a lake if it was "solid" instead of "liquid".
- It is revealed in this episode that Squidward once had flowing blonde hair.
- In the crowd, Nat can be seen twice.
- If one would listen closely when Jim's limo arrives and Squidward says "Look!', Squidward's voice is different.
- At one point, SpongeBob creates a heart on a Krabby Patty with ketchup and it was completely "colored in", but in the next picture it was only an outline of ketchup.
- In the opening and closing credits, Patton Oswalt's name was misspelled "Patton Oswald".
- In the flashback, the Krusty Krab was shown to be magnificently designed with the best in architectural design. However, in the flashback where Jim shows why he quit, all the decor is replaced with the Krusty Krab as seen in most other episodes.

Hi, I'm Minnie Rae.[1]. You may know me better as Peter Pan's friend Wendy who pretended to be his mother and wife. My friend Jimmy wrote about him and me in Peter Pan and Wendy, only he changed our names.[2] And don't believe the Disney version cuz they always clean up the lives of us Discordian American Princesses.
Anyway, I'm here to tell you about Discordianism. When I was a preteen girl I worked as a tantric engineer in San Francisco. That's where I met Emperor Norton, President of the United States and Protector of Mexico. Mark Twain called him the King, but really he's a Discordian Saint who called me The Little Countess. Cool, huh?
Oh, and by the way, while I'm teaching you about Discordianism? I'll also be saving the world.
I'm on a mission from Goddess
One day in 1872 after I moved to England, I was with a client when everything suddenly went like topsy turvy. It was like Alice in Wonderland, you know? She's also a DAP,[3] even though she's English. Come to think of it, that should make her a DEP. Anyway, everything started flying around like DAP Dorothy's tornado and looked backwards.Then I got hit in the head by a golden apple. That hurt!
Well I knew what that meant. Discordia. She's also called Eris, and she's the Discordian Goddess. She's like the one who threw the golden apple marked "To the prettiest one." at this wedding party cuz she wasn't invited? There were these Goddesses there who started fighting over which one of them it was for. And that led to the Trojan War, which was the first of all wars. You don't mess with Eris.
Anyway, she said, "MARY SIMPSON." (that's my other name). You know how Goddesses always talk in ALL CAPS. I said, "What do you want? I'm busy." Discordia doesn't like it if you bow and scrape before her and stuff. I really wanted to go right away and sell the apple; you know how much that would be worth? But when I tried to grab it, it disappeared just like Alice's Cheshire Cat.
Discordia said, "I GOT A CALL FROM MALACLYPSE THE YOUNGER." If you don't know, he started Discordianism with Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, who later got investigated for killing John F. Kennedy. So I said, "So?" And She told me what Mal said:
- "I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."
- Discordia said, "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?"
- "But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it."
So then Discordia told me, "I WANT YOU TO GO AND LET PEOPLE KNOW TO STOP IT. IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT."
I said, "But why me? Yeah, I get around, but I'm just a young girl and I'm on the bottom of the social ladder. Nobody will listen to me."
I didn't seem to have much of a choice, so I said, "Ok; whatever."
I was leaving when Eris suddenly said, "OH, AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU DON'T SUCCEED, ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2012, THE WORLD WILL END."
I was like, "that's 150 years away. Why should I worry?"
"BECAUSE I JUST MOVED YOU FORWARD IN TIME TO 21:24, April 4, 2010 (UTC)."
"What?" I said in total shock.
"But it's the beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere!" I said.
"WHATEVER," said Eris.
The Curse of Greyface
"The human race will begin solving its problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously."
Now before I could save the world, I had to do some research. How could I save it if I didn't know what was wrong with it? So I read the Bible of Discordianism, Principia Discordia, to get some answers.
The problems in the world were caused by an ancient and powerful Curse, invoked by some guy called Greyface in 1166 BC. It seems that he brainwashed a lot of people by constantly repeating the sentence "Look at all the order around you" while ignoring all the disorder. You know, like looking at stars and forcing them to be connect-the-dot goats and virgins and crabs. Greyface had OCD, and was a real party pooper.
Well, the dude had such a powerful personality and was so damned gruff that soon other people took up his cause of putting everything in its place and doing it "my way" instead of "your way". Soon the world had greed and wars and slavery and all the rest, just to put "my way" order into someone else's life. The curse was Seriousness, and it had to be stopped and fast.
Orthodox Discordians
Surreal Rutabega Discordians
The first group didn't help me, so I thought I'd try the Surreal or Rutabega Discordians. I saw them at Wal-Mart. A third of them were putting up silly posters, a third were taking down the silly posters, and the rest were throwing apple and rutabega pies at passerbys.
One of them who was dressed as a clown in a bright yellow and orange jumper with a pair of extremely large black rim glasses that really were small fish bowls in a frame, each bowl holding a goldfish. He also wore a mustache that was at least a foot across. He was putting up a poster another Discordian had just taken down.
"Excuse me," I said. "I'm Minnie Rae, I'm a Discordian American Princess and I'm on a mission from Goddess."
"Have an apple pie!" he said, and threw one at me. Fortunately by now I was used to dodging things thrown by Discordians, and caught it. He scratched his head with a green plastic hand and said, "Say, no one's ever done that before." He went back to putting up a poster upside down.
"The world's going to end in 2012, and I'm trying to save it," I said.
"Save it for what?" he said and laughed like that was really funny. A bunch of the other Discordians laughed too.
"Don't be so serious," he said. "You're like a greyface. Don't worry; be happy!" Then he grabbed a pogo stick and starting bouncing around.
"I've had enough of you clowns," I said. I threw the pie at him and hit him right in the face. His mustache fell off, and suddenly he looked like a very sad man.
"Say, no one's ever done that before," he said, and starting crying crocodile tears.
"This is too silly," I said, and left.
Hate Rant Discordians
Conspiracy Fanboy Discordians
(see discussion on talk page)
Hippie Discordians
I was about to give up, you know? Like how was I supposed to save the world with no help? But I had one Discordian group left to try; the Hippie Discordians. The future of the world totally depended on them.
I found them in a hot tub in a house in a skinny birch tree that didn't look nearly strong enough to hold everything up. But on a branch hung a sign that said, "All Laws are Invalid Here Including The Laws of Physics."
"Take off your clothes and come on in!" said a young blonde girl who was wearing nothing but flowers in her hair.
But a man wearing a Leonardo da Vinci mask and nothing else said, "e can come in es dress, come in es pants, come in naked. Just come in. I'm Reverend Loveshat."
"What do you mean 'e' and 'es'?" I asked.
"Genderless neologisms for 'he/she' or 'his/her/hers'," said a naked woman. "We're non-sexist, non-ageist and non-speciest here. I'm St. Mae Aye, and yes you may. We know who you are; I named myself after you, 'M' from 'Minnie' and 'ae' from 'Rae.'"
But then I noticed someone else. "Oh my Goddess! The girl over there in the sheet--that's Miley Ray Cyrus!"
"That's Princess Smiley Day Eris," said the mask named Loveshat. "E named emself after you, too. E's also a DAP."
"Peace," said the Princess, flashing the peace sign.
So being a DAP I took off all my clothes and jumped in the hot tub. It was crowded, for there were about a dozen people, a horse with six breasts, a walrus named John or Paul or maybe John Paul, and a smiling cat named Cheshire. They gave me something to drink and I drank, something to smoke and I smoked, and something to stick wherever I wanted to stick it and I stuck it. I was chillin' in the hot tub, listening to the music coming out of the walrus' mustache, and not feelin' worried about anything. But then I suddenly remembered my mission.
"I'm on a mission from Goddess," I said.
"We all are," said the six-breasted horse.
"I'm trying to save the world," I said.
"We all are," said the walrus, then went back to playing music out of his mustache.
"But you're all just sitting and smoking and drinking and sitting in a hot tub!" I said.
"Don't worry," said Rev. Loveshat. "The sex comes later."
"But how's that going to save the world?" I asked.
"If the world can't save itself, it's not worth saving," said the cat named Cheshire, with a big smile.
Then suddenly it all made sense. What was life but eating and drinking and chillin' and having sex with your friends? If you couldn't do what you wanted, as long as you didn't hurt anybody, then what was the point?
I had a fantabulous time not worrying about anything, and I stayed in that law-breaking hippie hot tub for I don't remember how long. I know I saw some leaves fall and then fly up and fall again, but not in the tub, and later on it snowed on the ground but not in the tree. When December 21, 2012 came around, the world didn't end. But we sang, "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine." Then we had a great orgy.[5]
And that's how, using Discordianism, I saved the world.

- ↑ I guess the orgy and the law-breaking explains my picture, you know, how I got pregnant when I was only 11 years old? Or maybe I was 10. A lot of us DAPs are no good at math. Except for multiplication.

The MTL Packer is a 2 door Car transporter/Flatbed/Tanker featuring in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA Vice City — GTA San Andreas
In GTA Vice City, the Packer could not transport vehicles, but in GTA San Andreas it can carry two or three, due to the ability to elevate part of the ramp. However, cars can still roll off at sudden stops.
The truck can unexpectedly suddenly stop as if it hit the car you are carrying. The Packer can also be used as a stunt ramp. It is possible to safely store one car on the Packer in GTA San Andreas, due to its ability to move the upper ramp up and down; this is done by driving it onto the bottom ramp and slowly closing the top ramp down. If the ramp goes go too far down, however, the car will get crushed and explode.
The player must have a good touch to keep the car safely in place. The Packer in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas bears a resemblance to the 1986 Peterbilt 379 Car Carrier.
The Packer is slow and hard to control due to its long body and wheelbase. But it can push small cars away without restraint. But it is an ideal object for stunts as players usually run up to the ramp to reach high places such as rooftops.
GTA IVThe Packer in GTA IV has a cab over engine design and is manufactured by MTL. Its short wheelbase makes the truck slightly more maneuverable compared to the previous rendition, but does not make up for its still poor speed at 112 mph. In addition to the ramp that was available on previous versions of the Packer, it now comes with flatbed and tanker variations (the tanker's content is unknown). The ramp does not touch the ground so it can't be used for transporting cars or doing stunts; third party trainers can however be used to spawn a variant with a ramp touching the ground, but performing stunts with non-motorcycle vehicles is nearly impossible. It is based on a Kenworth K-100.
It can be sold to Stevie for up to $4000.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Packer returns in Grand Theft Auto V. However, this time it is a normal tractor trailer resembling a Mack CH 13. Players must be careful, for there are two other trucks that resemble the GTA V Packer: the Pounder, which is a truck with a trailer longer than that of a Benson, yet shorter than the real GTA V 18 wheeler trailers, and the Flatbed, the Packer's flatbed version. The truck that closely resembles the Packer in GTA IV is a truck known as the Hauler. The Packer, Hauler and Phantom are the only 18 wheeler trucks that appear in the game.It is to note that Packers can appear tugging long trailers with business ads on them, or pulling tank trailers, or sometimes nothing at all.
- A unique light green colored Packer appears in the mission Cop Wheels in GTA San Andreas.
- The Packers is useful for transporting cars for the imports and exports.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie in GTA IV, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, and the Packer fetches $4,000.
- The Packer plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- K-DST in GTA San Andreas.
- Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 in GTA IV.
- Although it appears to be able to hold up to 3-4 cars, any car you place on the Packer will fall off. Bikes tend to fall off less. However, in the mission Cop Wheels, it can hold 4 bikes.
- A Packer with the ramp down exists in the TLAD game files, but doesn't spawn.
- The Packer may appear in GTA V as seen in the screenshots.
- In GTA San Andreas, the Packer can be used as a mobile car crusher. Just park a car on the lower ramp, get in the Packer, and lower the top ramp. This will crush the car parked under it, causing it to explode. There is no practical use for this, other than plain fun!
- Be careful not to place the car too close to the cab, or the Packer wil explode, too. Also, be careful not to place the car too far back, as it might slide off, or cause many unexpected (and unwanted) glitches to occur.
- Also, in GTA SA, in mutiplayer, the Packer can be used to transport massive waves of gunmen, with the help of the double-deck, one Packer can be used to devastate a whole street. Just crowd as many armed people on both decks, and drive. Be careful not to make any tight turns, as anyone standing on the back may fall off.
