I recently saw this commercial. Now, I remember as a kid(early to mid 80's), watching a TV show that had a cartoon character exactly like that. Just the whole art style of this commercial reminded me of this. But I can't for the life of me remember the name of the show! I'm about 70% sure that it wasn't a full cartoon show, but a life action show that had these cartoon moments. Anyone know or recognize this? Thanks!

I guess it pays to read more. In the comments, the name of the cartoon is listed. It's La Linea. Though the wikipedia link shows what TV shows it was on in America, I'm still not sure that either of those was it, as I didn't have Nickelodeon until mid-90s. And Great Space Coaster doesn't even ring a bell. But, it's entirely possible that was the show. |
Harold and the Purple Crayon is what that ad reminds me of. Harold is drawn with more detail than his crayon-created surroundings, which have the same sort of low-detail style as that ad. There were some animated adaptations of the book made back in the early 70's which fits your time frame. I'm around the same age as you and I recall seeing the Harold cartoons as a kid. |

Canary Islands
This summer I went to the Canary Islands with my friends. We did a lot of things there; we went to the swimming pool, partying, to the dune beach, and to the aqua park party...
Also, one day we went to one beach where there were a lot of water sports and we practised the motorskying, parasailing and a los of things.
Finally we come back to Spain with hangovers and our bodies very pained becouse we fell many ...
We can't wait to get started!
... the weather forecasts which will assist us with our direction plans especially for the first few days of the trip
Due to contrary winds and a low pressure system generating some "large" waves, the organisers decided to delay the start from yesterday to tomorrow. Some boats did leave yesterday and we went to watch together with Diane and Peter's wife Sue and daughter Victoria. A lazy Sunday afternoon followed with drinks and a late lunch.

Madeira to Puerto Mogan, Gran Canaria
Madeira is magical! A wonderful, luscious and calm island open to explorers and botanical enthusiasts alike. Quite a contrasting island to the other Canary islands which are fairly baron and dark, Maderia is bright, green and buzzing with natural life. Leaving that behind on the morning of Wednesday 19th September we set off briskly in a well fuelled and provisioned Taboo for a three day sail to Gran Canaria (where she'd been 5 years previously).
Unfortunately the wind ...
Off the Coast of the Sahara
... minutes of a run; it then turns into a black sand beach where there are more locals (for about 20 more minutes of the run). All along the beach they have a boardwalk with restaurants, bars and shops. It was absolutely packed with the European style beach clubs along the way. The hotels look "ok" and we were told this is a package tour capital – sort of a down scale Waikiki. There were some good slices of life ...

This afternoon I decided to experiment with the "Wings3D" program in order to at least make some slight stab towards creating a Sculpted Prim. Given that, as I said, there is no version of the thing that will actually work on my main Difference Engine, I was obliged to dredge out a previous machine of obsoletish character - but when combined with the Exporting Plug In most kindly written and provided by Omei Turnbull, it was perfectly efficacious.
I transferred the texture thus created onto my main Engine, thence to the World, and applied it to a SculptedThing, and that was where my problems began. It seems from further reading that there are at the moment issues to do with how the World stores and compresses Textures, in that there are certain changes and Artifacts which result - these are not really visible to the Naked Eye, but to an Engine which is actually using the exact values of each coloured dot as instructions rather than appreciating the whole as an work of art as most of us do - as if there were a secret code embedded in individual letters of the Bible, say, except actually true - it can result in quite ridiculous results.
Touch the photograph below, if you would, and you will be able to see the whole of my experiment, including several pictures of myself looking very unconvincing in a pair of overalls.
I do hope that this issue is resolved very shortly, but I feel that I should warn others on this matter. I must say though that my experience with Wings3D was most positive; the principles of it are very simple to learn even without tutoring, and I was surprisingly able to operate it perfectly satisfactorily with but a One Button Trackpad. Once compression matters disappear I have to say that anyone should be able to create simple objects as components for a larger build - I would not expect to be able to fit all of one's details into one complex prim, but it should save a lot of time and twisting and terrible frustration.
Congratulations on your first sculpted prim! I've found Blender (blender.org) very useful in these endeavors but I think I might try out this Wings3D to do a little comparison sculpting. I've been dreaming about a Latin Fruit Hat to wear out on special occasions... and now my dream may finally come true.
I have experimented with Blender, but I have to say that I am still rather intimidated by it and can't really manage to get anything done. Wings3D seems ideal for creating a quick and simple sculptedthing - provided the texture works properly of course.
I've seen one other sculptie suffer from the problems of JPEG compression on the SL side. I'm not sure what LL's going to do about it, but as current expectations of prim placement, dimensions, and rotation are that they are *exact*, I hope LL will consider keeping sculptie images lossless on their side.
Is there no way to take objects made in-world and convert them to sculpted prims, in-world? What kind of effort would it take to make such a script or device, if possible?
An interesting point; in the past, people have tried to do things the other way around, but now the need is less. I suspect it would be possible to take all of the vertices in an object, attempt to make them into a mesh, and then see whether that mesh could be a sculpted prim, but I can tell you that I would not know how to achieve such a thing....

A Chicago police officer who was a part of a NATO surveillance task force has reportedly been caught spying on more recent political dissents in the city, according to an investigative report by Truthout published Tuesday.
Through a public information request, the Chicago Tribune obtained Mayor Rahm Emanuel's daily calendar between January and August of 2012. The Tribune's focus on the hundreds of pages of documents is almost identical to the Chicago Reader, which did a two-part review of Emanuel's public schedule between January and November of 2011. In a nutshell, the publications noted that Emanuel meets a lot with business leaders.
Emanuel's ties with business are important given his policy record of ramming the Infrastructure Trust through city council in April, a nebulous effort to use private money for public projects, and expanding his own role as chairman of World Business Chicago, which coordinated the NATO summit in May.
But perusing through the calendar, available on the Tribune Web site, reveals other elements of Emanuel's tenure including his national profile and approach to the Chicago Teachers Union labor dispute. Read more »
One concern prior to this May's NATO summit was that Chicago taxpayers would foot potential cost overruns, but a quite different issue has emerged.
The city of Chicago submitted a $15.6 million NATO summit reimbursement request to the federal government Friday afternoon, most of the request is for the feds to compensate Chicago for police overtime work.
Prosecutors indicted three NATO protesters yesterday invoking a state terrorism statute passed after 9/11. But the prosecutors say they are not ready to show the indictments.
The Chicago Fraternal Order of Police reached a deal with the Chicago Police Department, which will allow members to receive compensation for overtime worked during the NATO summit.
However, there are still three outstanding grievances and lingering acrimony between the city and FOP, the union that represents rank-and-file officers, even as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the City Council continue to deify Police Department head Garry McCarthy for his work during the summitt. Read more »
The Chicago City Council agreed yesterday to settle two lawsuits regarding wrongful arrests made during the 2003 Iraq War protests.
After months of local government, and media, focus on Chicago hosting the two-day NATO summit, it might be time for the city's political class to focus on more parochial concerns like the reconfiguring of public housing, a highly possible teacher's strike, and the neighborhood impact of state and city government budget cuts.
On the other hand, the city could just re-live 2009 and put a lazer-like focus on getting the Olympics. Read more »
The Boeing protest is underway, with hundreds of protesters arriving and chanting, "Another World is Possible!"
The police presence is heavy, with many protesters saying "there are more cops here than people!"

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, J!
Thank you Tim I hope you have a great Thanksgiving also
Posted 21 November 2012 - 08:44 PM
the thing is... you want to insist that I'm completely wrong, but it's a fact that men and women have different levels of hormones. Every individual has different levels, actually...
bottom line is you really shouldn't judge anyone before you get to know them.
still, testosterone is what makes men act like assholes.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 08:48 PM
The fact that every individual has different levals of hormones has not once been disputed, and I agree with you that you shouldn't judge anyone before you get to know them, and perhaps not even then.
So if I buy into your theory that testosterone makes men act like assholes (which I don't), what makes women act like assholes?

well you might think it was the car that cut you off in traffic that made you that way, or that second cup of coffee -- but somehow or another it all involves chemical changes throughout the body and in the brain.
genetics and upbringing probably have more to do with personality than gender does.

.still I can't help but think that estrogen plays a big part in a person's mental health, and women's levals of it fluctuate more than men.

Not sure how BIG a part, but a part for sure.
The mind is a wonderful thing and can overcome all sorts of physical changes if trained to do so.
Like some people can function through pain on a daily basis and some are completely debilitated by it.
So it is with hormones and such.
Women have estrogen that leads us to make irrational decisions sometimes. Men have testosterone which leads them to put their jobs on the line to get some strange.
Hormones are powerful things and lead to interpersonal issues without a doubt.
Had a good friend who transitioned from male to female, and on the estrogen, she burst into tears in the supermarket and later said "I feel totally crazy."
Welcome to being a woman.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 06:48 AM
...maybe its the hornones or somethjng, but why has every woman manager ive worked for end up being overly emotional and high-strung to the point of micromanaging, while every man i have worked for seemed to be able to keep an "even keel" no matter the situation.
Is it that these women have more to prove, so end up smothering their employees? Is it te hormone thing? Do i just have lousy luck with female managers?

People reported me this particular problem, and recently I experienced it myself: during the Drupal 6 installation process in the 'Database configuration' step, you might get stuck. Upon entering the right database credentials, the page reloads and shows the Database configuration form again, without any error.
After some searching around, I found what was causing this behaviour:
During the installation I renamed the file /sites/default/default.settings.php to /sites/default/settings.php.
However, Drupal expects you to make a copy if this file, not rename it!
So just make a copy of the default.settings.php file, and name it settings.php.
When these 2 files are available, your installation should run without any problems.
I ran into exactly the same problem and your solution did work. Thanks a lot!
exactly what i was looking ...great answer
thanks for this...i was tired to googling for this...but i found answer here....thanks
Thank you! this is noted in
Thank you! this is noted in the drupal install as the correct process but isn't described as necessary - you saved my day!
That Helped a Lot!
Thanks. I had some trouble setting Drupal 6.x on my localhost. Again, thank you.
Thanks for the reminder! This happened to me last time I installed Drupal too...
An Additional Important Note
First thanks for the solution. almost everybody installs drupal in "default" directory. as you know you can run multiple domains by just a drupal instalation, using directories named to that domains in the directory "sites".
if you want to run "somesite.com" and you rename "default" directory instead of copying it, you will face the same problem as renaming "default.settings.php" instead of copying it.
in brief:
do NOT rename "default" directory and "default.settings.php" file.
Thank you very much, this
Thank you very much, this fixed my issue. it seems to affect drupal 7 as well.
god bless you!
You provided the solution i was looking for!
That simple
Thank you! Been looking at my server configuration as I thought that there was an error there, but it is a simple mistake which in my opinion should give users a warning such as "default.settings.php required to continue install" as well as keeping the information entered in the form.
Thanks again.
great tip....
It got me through the installation since i'm new to this CMS I appreciate people that share experiences for everyone, teach a man to fish right :)
happy coding!!
saved my life man. I was
saved my life man. I was about to pull my f'ing hair out!
Another Thanks
Something so simple - would think the Drupal team would see the usability problem here... Anyway thanks to you and Google I think my issue is resolved.
Thanks a lotttt.....
Thank you so much...this has solved my problem with in seconds...thank you!!
Hell yeah. Thanks a ton
Was wondering what the hell was going on and knew it had to be something small like this messing it up. Thanks a lot!
Good advice for Multi Site
Thank You Very Much!
On one drupal installation I was trying to set two independent sites;
so after a standard drupal installation for the first site, I renamed the directory:
and added a directory for the other site:
which contains 'default.settings.php' and 'settings.php' files as well as a 'files' directory - with correct write permissions.
Then, I've created an independent database and user for the second site (other) and added an alias pointing http://www.mysite.it/other to http://www.mysite.it.
So, I went to http://www.mysite.it/other and start the installation wizard but can't pass the Database configuration; as stated at the beginning of this thread... then I found Sven Decabooter OPEN SOURCE WEB DEVELOPMENT and:
simply renamed
and got it!!!
Thanx again!
Had the same problem.
Had the same problem.
Works fine after copying...
Not Enough
In my situation this solution was not enough. When the database configuration reappeared empty I had to refresh the browser (F5) in order to get the Drupal installation to continue.
I have been stuck on this for about 30 minutes - such an easy mistake to make!
Thank you for posting this.

My gratitude to Joan Rivers

About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Joan Rivers Great Hair Day® fill-in powder:
I no longer feel self-conscious about my thin hair. Great Hair Day is easy to use, but you may have to play around with it at first. If you don't like it getting on your hands, wear medical gloves while applying. I also pat it in after applying with the brush. I have scarring alopecia, which means my hair will never grow back. It is very thin, but using Great Hair Day creates a very good optical illusion. Also, it doesn't seem to cause any allergic reactions on my scalp as some other products have. It is the greatest.
Great product.

It makes your hair fuller. It covers your scalp and the gray hair. Great product.

My daughter got this product and shared it with me...it was buy one, get one free then. (another catalog)
Great Product
By red on the head
from Florida
Starting to thin around the temples. Very noticible when hair is pulled back. Product helped to hide the thinning hair. I am a redhead - light aulburn. When I opened the package I thought color was brown, but when blended into the hair it truly worked and was not noticible. If you are more of a strawberry blond or a carrothead, it would not work for you because it does have brown in it.
I will buy this product again.
By cat fancier
from Sandy, UT
I have used this product for over a year. I use this product after a shampoo to conceal thinning hair. It works well to cover gray roots in between monthly hair color applications. The blonde shade covers well on light brown hair. A minor drawback is some powder will rub off onto the pillowcase at night.
I would buy this product again and again
By aunt t
from Penn.
I have used this for over a year and won't do without it. It is easy and quick and makes my hair look so much thicker!
Great Great Hair Days
By Very Satisfied
from Long Island, NY
I have been using this for a year. I was very doubtful at first, my sister watched the infomercial and told me about it. My hair is very thin from medications and I have tried many shampoos, creams etc.,nothing helped. Soooo I tried. I was impressed to say the least. I use the brunette and have been asked by friends & relatives if I have a hair piece, what I used to thicken my hair and if I had a transplant. My hair style is short, so its not like I can maneuver my hair for cover. My biggest concern was perspiring, since because of meds in warm weather especially sweat drips from my head. It passed the sweat test last summer. It takes a little getting use to applying. At first I thought the brush was to small, it was blochy, but once you get the knack for your hair its great. Thank You Joan Rivers.

I have alopecia and I think this product is amazing. I would be wearing a hat all the time if I didn't have this powder. Love it!!!!!
Very good product
By Lilyfish
from Denver, CO
I've used this product for about 6 months now and it has really saved me. I don't feel self-conscious about my thinning hair anymore. It's easy to use and one compact has lasted over twice as long as advertised. The only downside is that if you scratch your head it gets under your fingernails and is IMPOSSIBLE to get out. (I have an itchy scalp because I also use a hair-growth product.) Using a tea tree oil shampoo helps with the itchiness, but it would be great to not have to worry about dirty fingernails! Otherwise, a very good product. Simply use as directed.

This is not a very good product to use when you are trying to hide hair lose. It is not worth the money you have to pay for it.

Made all the difference!
By Happyhairnow
from USA
This product CHANGED MY LIFE! I was so self-conscious of my thinning hair I did not want to even go to the grocery store anymore. Now I can look "normal" again! You just "dot" it on in the thin spots (on dry hair, not wet) working from the back - forward or "top down" and then blend a little (keep at least a half inch or so from your face). That's all you do! Then use hair spray, tease, or style, etc like you usually would. The powder stays on, have not had it come off unless I rub it, then i can see it on my fingertip. I am not sure how it would last if you swim with it though. Comes off slightly on pillow case but nothing major. It stays put pretty much until you shampoo it out. Also great at helping to cover gray roots between coloring as long as you don't put real close to your face. If your hair is light brown to medium brown... don't get the BROWN tone, it's too dark - get the BLONDE shade!The blonde shade is really a dark medium brown shade, and I don't mean light brown! Wish it came with a better quality brush (the bristles fall out).But other than that I love love love this product!It simply covers the shiny scalp places where your hair is thin so it looks like you have hair there. Matte eye shadow doesn't work as well as this does. If you're trying to decide whether to get it or not I say just go for it. It's not a miracle worker, but almost :)
By Patty
from Modesto, CA
Love this product. What a great ides for thinning hair. Covers and looks natural. Very easy to use.
I wouldn't be without it
By Red
from San Diego, CA
This is a fabulous product. The long handled brush allows you to part your hair and then flip to the brush side to apply the powder. I always start from back to front because otherwise I find it doesn't look as natural. The color is meant to be darker than your hair, so don't expect it to "match." It looks better to have the scalp darker than your hair. Mine is a medium auburn. I always put the compact down on a tissue so that I don't have any powder residue on my counter. My aging hair is thinning on top, and this product not only covers my light colored scalp, which is now showing through my hair, but it covers the grey when I'm due for a color touch up. There's no mess on the pillow, and it lasts until I wash my hair.

TOO DARK, brush too flimsy
By Chichi
from Miami
I got BRUNETTE which should be a medium brown but is JET BLACK! the brush bristles are way too soft and don't work well to apply. Should be more firm. Brush should also be wider. It's also misleading because this does NOT make your hair "fuller" it merely darkens any parts of your scalp that show through your thinning hair! Like if you applied brown eye shadow to your scalp! RETURNING IT!!! really Joan!

I use the product each time I wash and blow dry the hair. What's great about this product is that it REALLY WORKS. I just wish the brush was smaller. You don't need a such a large brush

Some inspiration for writers from Michael Arnzen's 'Fiction Writing' class syllabus... a featured document of the day on Scribd.com!
To Write Well
It's the only writing guide you need... Many Genres, One Craft gathers the voices of today's top genre writers and writing instructors affiliated with Seton Hill University's acclaimed MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction.
Writing Popular Fiction
"Speaking from experience, I can tell you there isn't a muse and if there is, she's already dating someone else." If there isn't a muse, as you'll read in this invaluable book for writers, MANY GENRES ONE CRAFT is surely the next best thing. No matter what you want to learn--from choosing the point of view for a scene, from getting the most out of a critique group to fine-tuning your final draft, from approaching a literary agent to promoting your published book in print or electronically or both--it's all there. The contributors know their stuff, and what they're teaching applies to writing at any age. MANY GENRES ONE CRAFT covers all the bases superbly, including issues I haven't seen addressed anywhere else in today's rapidly shifting publishing landscape.

President Barack Obama has an ambitious plan for Washington bureaucrats to take command of the oceansand with it control over much of the nations energy, fisheries, even recreation in a move described by lawmakers as the ultimate power grab to zone the seas.
The massive undertaking also includes control over key inland waterways and rivers that reach hundreds of miles upstream, and began with little fanfare when Obama signed an executive order in 2010 to protect the aquatic environment.
This is pure administrative fiat, said Sen. David Vitter (R La.). Its very troubling.
This is purely a unilateral administrative action with no real congressional input or oversight, Vitter said. I think it clearly threatens to have a big impact on a lot of industry, starting with energy, oil and gas, and fishing.

Rare plays take local stages this weekend
This is an exciting weekend for Capital Region theater, especially for those who appreciate the opportunity to attend rarely produced plays.
"Orlando," based on the 1928 Virginia Woolf novel, will be performed at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs Friday through Wednesday.
"The Trojan Women" has been adapted from the Greek tragedy written by Euripides for The Theatre Institute at Sage in Troy. It plays today through Sunday.
In contrast to these two works based on classic literature, the Local Actors Guild of Saratoga will present "Sordid Lives" for the next two weekends. Its director calls the play "a white trash comedy with heart."
There is a lot of ironic humor in the gender-bending story of "Orlando," a tale about a young man who, after being the lover of a queen and later a Russian princess, one day wakes to find himself a female.
The adaptation is by Sarah Ruhl, a young, very popular contemporary playwright with a quirky perspective.
Kathryn Rickman is co-directing the play at Skidmore College with Jeremy Ohringer. She said they were drawn to the material because, as college seniors, the play speaks to their lives.
"It's about self-discovery, facing challenges and moving onto new experiences," Rickman said.
She can see why the play appeals to mature audiences as well. Continued...
"It addresses love, gender and aging," Rickman said. "It speaks to the meaning of life, whatever age you are."
"Orlando" will be performed at Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater on the Skidmore College campus at 8 p.m. Friday through Wednesday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Call 580-5439 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or reservations.
'The Trojan Women'
"The Trojan Women" may not offer insight into the meaning of life, but Leigh Strimbeck, who is directing her own adaptation of the work at Sage, has equally lofty goals for her production.
"It deals with the impact of war. Specifically, about how it affects women," she said.
Strimbeck has taken great liberties with Euripides' play. She sets the 3,000-year-old work in the future, and instead of Troy in Greece, it takes place on the banks of the Hudson River in Troy, N.Y. The one-act play takes place at a women's refugee center in the midst of a great energy crisis in a United States that has all but collapsed after a 10-year civil war.
In the original, the conquered women of Troy are forced into various forms of slavery, but in this "feminist retelling," the tragic ending has a twist.
Strimbeck said, "All of my writing is about empowering young women. With this work, I have given the play an ending that I think reflects how contemporary women would respond to the situation."
The work has already generated great buzz outside the region. Next week, March 9-10, the cast will travel to New York City to participate in a festival at Phoenix Theatre, and on March 22 they will be in Great Barrington, Mass., for the Simon's Rock College Festival of Women's Writers.
"The Trojan Women" plays at the Meader Little Theatre in Troy at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. Call 244-2248 for more information. Continued...
'Sordid Lives'
J.J Buechner, who directs and plays a lead role in "Sordid Lives" for the Local Actors Guild of Saratoga, calls the work "pure entertainment" but says the work is, at times, "surprisingly sentimental." He's quick to add, though, "There are 10 times more laughs than there are serious moments."
The work is perhaps best known as a cult film and maybe even as a short-lived television series. Or, more likely, it's not well-known at all.
It revolves around a Texas family gathering at the funeral of its matriarch, who died in a motel room tripping over her married lover's wooden legs.
At the heart of the dark comedy is a mother coming to grips with one son being openly gay and her acceptance of another son who is in a mental institution because he insists he is Tammy Wynette. They are the tip of the crazy character iceberg.
"Yes, it is a totally crazy family, which makes the mother's eventual acceptance of her sons so sweet," Buechner said. "It's a very funny play about unconditional love."
"Sordid Lives" will be at the Saratoga Arts Center, 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Performances are scheduled for 2 and 8 p.m. this Saturday and Saturday, March 9; and 7:30 p.m. this Sunday and Sunday, March 10. Call 393-3496 for more information.

Cystic Fibrosis: Alternate Ways to Clear the Airways
Topic Overview
People with Reference cystic fibrosis Opens New Window can get lung infections and other respiratory problems because of the buildup of thick, sticky Reference mucus Opens New Window that traps bacteria. Chest percussion and Reference postural drainage Opens New Window are techniques that can be done at home to help clear mucus from the lungs. Here are some of the mechanical ways to help clear mucus from the lungs:
- High-frequency chest compression vest. This inflatable vest receives high-frequency pulses of air from a generator. The vibration helps to loosen and clear the mucus from the lungs. This method can be done without the help of another person.
- Positive expiratory pressure (PEP). A PEP device creates a constant pressure when you breathe through a mask or mouthpiece. This pressure keeps the airways open, so you can cough up the mucus.
- Flutter. This device looks like a pipe and has a steel ball inside. When you exhale through the flutter, the ball moves and causes your airways to vibrate. This movement is thought to help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs.
- Acapella device. This is a small, handheld device that uses magnetic force to help loosen mucus.
Talk to your doctor or respiratory therapist about these and other airway-clearance methods that you can use.

If you're a parent, chances are you are familiar with the wildly popular Pillow Pets — a must-have for many kids during the 2010 holiday season. These animal-shaped toys are pillows when laid flat; they turn into stuffed animals when folded and secured with velcro straps.
Walt Disney World and Disneyland have carried their own version, Reversible Plush Pillows, in animal shapes for about six years, a Disney spokesperson said. Two years ago, Disney Parks began introducing its characters with Pluto, Eeyore and Tigger, and the line is about to expand. Look for Simba, Stitch and Dumbo to debut in time for this year's holiday season. Plus, more characters will appear in Spring 2012, when all Reversible Plush Pillows will be updated, I'm told.
The Disney pillows sell for $24.95 each and can be found across Walt Disney World property in stores such as World of Disney, Once Upon A Toy and Emporium. They are in such high demand that some styles are out of stock until August, the spokesperson said.

Art Institute of Chicago Appoints Daniel Walker Chair of Two Curatorial Departments
Following an international search, the
Art Institute of Chicago
announced the appointment of Daniel Walker as the head of two curatorial departments at the museum. Effective October 18, 2010, Walker will become the Pritzker Chair and Curator of Asian Art and the Chair and Christa C. Mayer Thurman Curator of Textiles at the Art Institute. A distinguished scholar, writer, and curator of textiles as well as Islamic art, Walker has held previous positions at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Textile Museum in Washington, DC. With the recent opening of the Alsdorf Galleries devoted to Indian, Southeast Asian, and Islamic art and the upcoming openings of both the renovated galleries for textiles and the Weston Wing for Japanese art, Walker joins the Art Institute at a critical moment of expansion and re-presentation of the historical and contemporary cultural production of Asia.
"Daniel Walker's experience at major museums in this country and abroad, as well as his record of distinguished scholarship in both textiles and Islamic art, make him the ideal leader of two curatorial departments at the museum," said James Cuno, President and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. "The museum's holdings in textiles are rich in Islamic and Indian carpets; Indonesian textiles; and Chinese and Japanese textiles, and this collection intersects beautifully with the Asian painting, sculpture, and artifacts we have been reinstalling in new galleries. Dan offers expertise in both areas during this pivotal time for us, as we dedicate more and better space to these collections as part of our sustained effort to best fulfill our mission as an encyclopedic museum. We are excited to welcome Dan's knowledge and energy to the Art Institute."
Walker is currently collaborating with Senior Curator Maria Fernanda Passos Leite on a major catalogue of Oriental carpets in the collection of Lisbon's Gulbenkian Museum. He served as the director of the Textile Museum in Washington, DC, from 2005 to 2009. As the head of the Islamic Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1988 to 2005, he was the first occupant of the endowed chair named for donor Patti Cadby Birch in 1997. From 1975 to 1988, he was Associate Curator and then Curator of Ancient, Near Eastern, and Far Eastern Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
Walker has published and lectured extensively on diverse topics related to Islamic art, particularly carpets and textiles. He is a contributing editor to the journal Hali and is working with other authors on the landmark catalogue Islamic Art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art , to be published next year. He has made notable acquisitions for his institutions, including the early Turkish animal rug purchased by the Metropolitan in 1990. Over the course of Walker's museum career he has curated more than 20 exhibitions, ranging from a small exhibition of etchings and drawings by Charles Meryon (the first exhibition at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art ever to be organized by an undergraduate) to the Metropolitan's Flowers Underfoot: Indian Carpets of the Mughal Era, cited by both The Art Newspaper and the New York Times as one of the top exhibitions of 1998, and Textiles of Klimt's Vienna in 2007-08 for the Textile Museum. In addition, Walker performed military service that included intensive language training in Persian and a long tour of duty in Iran. He holds degrees from Bowdoin College (A.B.) and Harvard University (A.M.).

Goods vehicles
CTC View (formal statement of CTC's policy):
- Goods vehicles pose a disproportionate threat to cyclists. Action must be taken by national and local government, hauliers and fleet operators, the police, the Health and Safety Executive and other enforcement agencies, as well as by individual lorry drivers and cyclists themselves.
- Lorries pose risk to both cyclists and pedestrians, so the focus should be on lorries and lorry drivers, not just on cyclists. Many of the following measures that would help protect cyclists, would benefit pedestrians too (NB these are not necessarily in priority order given the need for more research in to the most effective amongst them):
- Ensuring that vehicles are safe and that drivers are fit to drive them. This needs to be supported by rigorous enforcement of driving and vehicle standards by the responsible agencies.
- Cycle awareness training for drivers or, better still, actual cycle training.
- Training for cyclists to help them interact with goods vehicles as safely as possible.
- Publicity campaigns for drivers and cyclists alike, highlighting the hazards and how to avoid them.
- Fitting lorries with: sensors and alarms, in-cab cameras; mirrors/lenses and bigger windows to help drivers notice cyclists; sideguards; external warning signs; and intelligent speed adaptation.
- Road layouts and street furniture (e.g. 'Trixi' mirrors) that facilitate safe interaction.
- Routing, distribution strategies, and traffic management to mitigate the impact of lorries on places where people cycle or want to cycle. These include distribution centres on the edge of urban areas, for lorries to pass loads onto smaller vehicles for onward delivery; carrying more freight by rail; and lorry control measures imposed by local authorities.
- Promoting freight cycles for goods distribution in urban areas.
- Procurement policies, especially from public authorities, ensuring that the supply and delivery of goods and services takes the safety of vulnerable road users into account.
- Research into the efficacy of all the above measures needs to be done, with the Department for Transport (DfT), Transport for London (TfL), other local authorities and operators all collaborating EU-wide, as required.
- CTC opposes moves to introduce longer and/or heavier lorries on the UK roads
- Individual haulage companies and the associations that represent them should develop, publish, maintain and monitor strategies, action plans and fleet management practices that minimise the risks that goods vehicles pose to cyclists. Where appropriate, these should be produced jointly with local authorities and enforcement agencies and be based on consultation with cyclists' representatives.

Each team has been allotted a total of 9 million dollars for spending on the players auctions as well as uncapped domestic players. Chennai Superkings have retained M S Dhoni, M Vijay, Suresh Raina and Albie Morkel (South Africa) while Mumbai Indians have also retained all the four players Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka) and Kieron Pollard (West Indies). So, these teams will effectively have only 4.5 million dollars left in their purse. Rajasthan Royals has retained Shane Warne (Australia) and Shane Watson (Australia) leaving them with USD 5.9 million available to spend. Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore have retained only player in Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli respectively enabling them to have a balance of 7.2 million dollars available.

Many new faces including cricketing legends such as Brian Lara would be available for purchase at the auction which will be conducted by professional auctioneer Richard Madley, from England, who has conducted each of the previous IPL player auctions too. However, a few players like Matthew Hayden, Glenn McGrath, Shane Bond and Anil Kumble who played previous editions of IPL has decided to give the auctions a miss due to personal reasons. The first round of auctions would be for the players with the highest base price of $400,000 followed by second round with players with base price of $300,000 and then with $200,000 and $100,000 base price and so on.

Tilleke & Gibbins fights for the rights and assets that matter most—from large monetary sums to crucial business relationships to invaluable intellectual property rights to personal freedom. And we win before trial and appellate judges, arbitrators, government adjudicators, and at negotiation tables. We are a litigation powerhouse.
We assemble lean, focused teams comprised of experienced litigators, specialized practitioners, and, as our most valuable member, our client. We collaborate with each client to develop a strategy that matches the client's particular goals and budget. We staff our litigation teams with multilingual attorneys to ensure fluent, effective client communication.
Our size, experience level, and depth permit us to handle an active caseload covering the full spectrum of civil and criminal matters. As a firm, we offer our clients over 120 years of litigating the most challenging cases in the region, 28 top litigators, and access to over 70 other legal experts. We are dedicated to finding the facts that matter, making the arguments that prevail, and taking each case through to successful resolution.
Among our recent victories, Tilleke & Gibbins has:
Represented an American manufacturing conglomerate in four complex defective product claims in Thailand. In all cases we successfully defended the client and secured favorable judgments after comprehensive trials in connection with power generation equipment with a value of approximately USD 3,000,000 each.
Negotiated a favorable settlement of a highly contested termination of a company director involving our client, the director, and the company of the spouse of the director. The dispute included two criminal cases and two civil cases (one of which involved a claim of THB 20,000,000). We successfully gathered evidence of the director's misconduct and leveraged that evidence to secure a favorable settlement for our client.
Represented an industry leader in edible coatings. Our client purchased products from a supplier, the quality of which was certified by a third party. Although the third party was dismissed from the case by a lower court, we successfully convinced the Supreme Court to amend the judgment below and hold the third party liable for failing to examine the product.
Represented a well-known Japanese manufacturer in the prosecution of both civil and criminal matters related to use of confidential trade secret and theft of client property. Our client reached a favorable settlement in the civil claims. In the criminal matter, we worked with the police and the public prosecutor and successfully secured sufficient evidence to support prosecution of the criminal claims.
Represented the precious metals division of a large Japanese multinational corporation in claims it filed against its shipper and freight forwarder for the loss of gold dram.
Represented an international investment banking and asset management company in recovering funds provided to a Thai property developer (claims total USD 15,000,000).
Planned and executed the layoff of 1,900 employees. Thereafter, 279 of the affected employees submitted claims against the client in the total amount of THB 300,000,000. We successfully proved that our client had cause to terminate its employees and that such was done fully within applicable Thai law, resulting in judgment in our client's favor. This was a high-stakes matter because, if we had lost the labor cases, the approximately 1,600 additional employees would have filed claims totaling approximately THB 2,000,000,000. We also act as ongoing labor compliance counsel.
Protected the right of a charitable foundation to a newly-constructed center for disabled persons and preserved all of the benefits that flowed from the center to the community and needy persons. The foundation purchased a plot of land and constructed a center on the land to benefit disabled persons. Before the transfer of the property, but after the building was completed, the land was attached by a judgment creditor. The court of first instance and the appellate court declined to release the land. With little hope of success, the foundation came to our firm. We convinced the Supreme Court that the land should be released because the foundation had a preferential right. The land and the center for the disabled was returned to the foundation.
Defended a global multi-industry company against an international insurance provider in four civil cases pertaining to gas turbine engines, and led the court to dismiss all four claims.
Represented a subcontractor in a construction dispute against the prime contractor of a controversial wastewater management project (claims exceed USD 33,000,000).
Assisted a client whose wife had abducted his daughter and wrongfully withheld assets valued at over USD 1,000,000. We successfully mediated this case, which involved both family and criminal matters. The parties agreed to a divorce and the daughter was returned to our client.
Represented a foreign brewery in a dispute against a local brewery pertaining to a joint venture agreement. The local brewery alleged that our client had terminated the joint venture improperly and took the case to arbitration. Our litigation strategy (based on both the issue of termination and the issue of bad faith) gave us leverage to successfully settle the case.
Negotiated the resolution of a large medical malpractice claim involving several health professionals.
Defended one of the leading global hotel management companies in a civil lawsuit for trademark infringement brought by a well-known real estate development company in Thailand. With our strong legal arguments and reliable documents and evidence, we convinced the IP&IT Court that our client was entitled to use its trade name and trademark in connection with its hotel business. The civil lawsuit was dismissed and the Trademark Registrar granted the registration of our client's trademark application according to the judgment of the IP&IT Court.
Secured a victory for the top producer of welding electrodes in Thailand against a local infringer in a landmark case before the Supreme Court of Thailand. The client's resounding success may be attributed to the defensive strategy of using multiple separate trademark registrations to collectively cover the entire package design.
Represented our client before the IP&IT Court and obtained a very favorable settlement just prior to the rendering of judgment in what has been widely regarded as the largest and most complex patent infringement case in Thai history. In this multijurisdictional case, our team not only secured a rare Anton Piller order to seize infringing goods, which enabled us to successfully prove infringement, but also formulated extensive strategies for protecting the validity of our client's patent.
