A real gem. I love this small work of art. I often think small projects, if they are special like this one, can easily be displayed almost anywhere. I also think small carvings are much more difficult to do with the kind of detail this one is done in. Bravo! -- Mike, an American living in Norway. |

Hi Mariya. Simply beautiful. It reminds me of a contemplation piece my kenjutsu sensei owned and cherished. It was made several centuries ago by a master carver in Edo (now Tokyo) and was a gift from his sensei upon his attaining his black belt. Any time he had a difficult decision to make, he would cradle it softly in his hands and stare into its details, and the answer would come to him. Even if it didn't, the calming effect it had on him was remarkable. I envy you your gift. While I am a fair draftsman and sketch artist, I've never been anything like even a tyro at carving and always wanted to be. I look forward to seeing your next piece with great anticipation. Paul -- The nicer the nice, the higher the price! |

CONTACT US | CAREERS | IVCi BLOG
IVCi has utilized its extensive audio visual (AV) integration expertise and Cisco TelePresence Authorized Technology (ATP) status to design and install a first-of-its-kind Cisco TelePresence lecture hall for Duke University's School of Business. Located on Duke's campus in North Carolina, this new facility enhances the business school's curriculum by providing students with real-time access to remotely located subject matter experts and professors.
Cisco TelePresence technology uses high-definition video and other immersive features to create life-like virtual meetings. TelePresence is a natural choice for the classroom environment, where live interaction between lecturer and student is critical to successful learning. Duke University's solution was custom designed to accommodate a larger audience size than traditional TelePresence systems, while still maintaining the authentic TelePresence experience.
The custom-built lecture facility includes three 103-inch plasma displays, six 1080p cameras for both panoramic and life-size immersive video experiences, an instructor's podium with two document cameras for sharing class materials, three remote student displays for the instructor to view remote classrooms from the podium, and 66 custom push-to-talk microphones for interactive discussions. IVCi also designed a custom Crestron touch panel for easy system control.
"IVCi's AV team has once again demonstrated its integration skills and knowledge of Cisco's systems, having designed a first-of-its-kind TelePresence solution for Duke University," said IVCi president and founder Bob Swing. "It is exciting to see a university of Duke's caliber pioneer this cutting edge technology; Duke clearly understands the power of Cisco TelePresence to add value to its course curriculum and transform the traditional classroom experience."
In a recent announcement by Cisco, the company described the benefits of the new lecture hall, stating that it "provides business school students with access to professors, business leaders and guest lecturers located around the globe, extending the in-person classroom environment across campuses and into the business world."
IVCi specializes in creating TelePresence solutions that are tailored to meet each client's unique needs, while maintaining an authentic telepresence experience; all customers are guaranteed the same level of quality, reliability, and ease of use. IVCi has completed TelePresence designs that include a virtual runway for clothing manufacturers, war rooms for government, and corporate training rooms.

Chancellor Ford presents to Board of Regents
When Chancellor Debbie Ford welcomed the UW System Board of Regents to the UW-Parkside campus Thursday, Oct. 10, she included the gathering in the continued celebration of the 45th academic year of the university. Ford recognized the founding chancellor, Irvin G. Wyllie, as well as others from the early days of the institution. This included introducing Mrs. Fran Jaeschke ('71), one of the only females on the "committee of 100" - the original advocacy group for the creation of a four-year university in southeastern Wisconsin, which opened in 1968.
Mrs. Jaeschke and her late husband, Ralph, have supported the university with student scholarships in each of the university's four colleges: the College of Arts and Humanities; the College of Business, Economics, and Computing; the College of Natural and Health Sciences; and the College of Social Sciences and Professional Studies. The UW-Parkside Solutions for Economic Growth Center, that brings together the talents of students and faculty to assist businesses and organizations with various operational challenges, is named in honor of Ralph Jaeschke.
To honor Mrs. Jaeschke's commitment to the university, Ford presented her with a commissioned sculpture, "Come About," by UW-Parkside art student Mallory Olesen Willing in collaboration with Art Professor Trenton Baylor.
In addition to Mrs. Jaeschke, someone Ford called a "UW-Parkside giant of education and learning," the Regents met students involved in internships and research projects through video presentations built upon the theme of "Enriching Minds and Changing Lives."
Five pre-med students spent two months in Madison this summer at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health as part of the RUSCH program (Rural and Urban Scholars in Community Health). A video told the story of their Madison experience and highlighted the UW-Parkside pre-med and pre-health programs that typically place 90 percent of graduates in medical and professional schools - more than double the national average.
For the past 25 years, the institution has maintained a strong working relationship with the Fireside Theatre in Fort Atkinson, Wis., building all the sets and scenery. The Fireside is one of the top entertainment and tourist attractions in the state, and one of the most successful professional theatres in the Midwest. A video told the Fireside story along with highlighting student partnerships at ESPN Deportes in Milwaukee.
Chancellor Ford provided the Regents with encouraging student enrollment, retention and graduation data. New student enrollment for fall 2013 is up, first-to-second year retention rose to 72 percent, and there are more students living on campus than at any time in the university's history.
The diversity of the student population continues to increase, Ford said. Students of color account of just over 28 percent of all students - the highest percentage of any university in the UW System.
The university is also dedicated to advancing its culture of planning. This aided in the successful reaffirmation of accreditation through 2022-23 by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and permission to pursue the HLC open pathway. Moreover, the recent establishment of the academic plan, "Making Excellence Inclusive" is vital source of strength to the institution. "The purpose of the academic plan," Ford said, "is the single goal of achieving academic excellence and distinction among our peers, while we provide rich learning experiences in our classrooms and beyond to support students across the finish line of graduation."
One of several strategic imperatives guiding the future of the university is the creation of more educational pathways and partnerships with other institutions. The Regents learned of increased academic agreements with Gateway Technical College. At a "Forward Together" signing ceremony in September, Chancellor Ford and Gateway President Bryan Albrecht recognized seven new agreements that enable Gateway students from specific programs to enter UW-Parkside with junior academic status. Close to 100 students are now dual-enrolled at Gateway and UW-Parkside as part of the 1+3 dual admission certificate program where students take up to 30 credits of general studies courses at Gateway while being provisionally admitted to UW-Parkside.
The most recent academic partnership is with Rosalind Franklin University in Lake County, Ill. Ford said this agreement enables up to nine UW-Parkside pre-health graduates to enter the Rosalind Franklin College of Pharmacy based solely on the strength of the UW-Parkside program.
Chancellor Ford recognized the completion of a recent strategic plan entitled "the Parkside Promise" and the efforts underway to shape the next strategic plan. The university is embracing "Pillars of Success" as the university remains committed to student success.
Ford did caution the Regents that the pace of change on the UW-Parkside campus is being challenged by declining funding and stagnant salaries. "Today we find that challenges might come a bit more rapidly," Ford said. "What is certain is that UW-Parkside and the state of Wisconsin will be better tomorrow because we are here today."

Pattern Weights
This is that candle time of year. I love the smells of cinnamons, sages, cookie doughs, apple pie spice that permeate the air now that the windows are closed up for the winter. What's that have to do with sewing, you ask? Lots, I tell ya.
Thanks to the geniuses at Pinterest I just learned how to clean out one of these used up jars and get that dang plastic thing off the cap. You can learn how to here at the Sew Many Ways blog. Thanks, Karin, for another brilliant idea! (check out her sewing room while you are there. You have never!!!) Karin wanted to know uses for the lids. Well they make absolutely great pattern weights. They are heavy, can be used either side up, and are just the right size for your hands.
Is this not cool? But it gets better. You can put little things in them to decorate. You can glue beads in them, decouplage your grandchildren's pictures along the bottom, or how about pics of a perfect vacation spot to give you that mini vacation moment? They can be painted with the glass paint found at Michaels. The ideas stagger me. So get those old jars out, recycle the wax as Karin describes, and make yourself some personal, neat pattern weights. ...Bunny

Arrrrghhh! I must have been channeling Janlynn - I also chucked a bunch of these last week.
Sigh... What a great idea. You could even use the small size and put something in them for smaller patterns or pieces. My old as the hill ring weights have tacks in the bottom to hold them in place. I bet if you wanted the same with these you could leave the plastic rings in place and put tacks onto them. Hmmm...

An analysis of a panel of Spanish GDP forecasts
This article undertakes an analysis of the forecasts included in the Panel of Spanish Forecasts in order to highlight the fact that the predictions made and the errors committed by the entities participating on this panel contain information that is particularly useful in analysing the evolution of the Spanish economy. Here, a study is undertaken of the GDP growth forecasts for the Spanish economy for the period 2000 to 2002 made in distinct forecast time horizons. Specifically, it analyses whether the forecasts are optimistic or pessimistic and whether new information concerning the variable being predicted is used efficiently in revising earlier forecasts.Download Info

As this is a forum it's perfectly acceptable to discuss openly about what could help and what might be necessary. I don't get your anger towards those that feel there could be something more going on. For the record, our Dr suggested we get our little ones hearing checked as she was not a big speaker either. And guess what? Her hearing was an issue. She also refused to walk and he said it was her doing her own thing on her own time. She didn't walk until she was 18 mos. He wasn't a terrible Dr. He was right on. She's perfectly fine but still has a bit of hearing issues.
By the way May is Better Hearing and Speech month. So whether you like it or not there may be other people out there frustrated and having a hard time trying figure out how to help their kids. Some people will not be able to do it on their own due to circumstances beyond their control and it's nice to know they don't have to do all on their own. Please save your distasteful words for another month.

$16,000 Worth of iPhones Stolen from Charlotte Apple Store in Apparent Inside Job
The Charlotte Observer reports that a total of 25 iPhones valued at over $16,000 have been reported stolen from Apple's Northlake Mall retail store in Charlotte, North Carolina. While smash-and-grab robberies are not terribly unusual at Apple retail stores, this case has an unusual twist in that the suspect appears to have been an employee of the store. Quote:

It's really unfortunate that someone would take advantage of their position in that way, although I'm confident that it won't take long to find and arrest him/her.
I don't think this says anything about Charlotte; just the lengths to which thieves will go.

Every unit has a unique UDID. I would think Apple knows what batch went where and a few minutes looking threw their records would yield the UDIDs of the stolen devices. My guess is, soon as one is activated or it hits an Apple server for anything, Apple will be able to locate it and eventually it will be traced back to the perpetrator of the crime.

I hope they sell them at a reasonable price. Is it safe to buy stolen iPhone? Can it be tracked via serial number or something? I wouldn't mind getting a stolen 4S if I can find one that is brand new(not off an innocent person). If they were cheaper I would buy lol

This is where you have to know your limits as a thief. 2 or 3 would have been easy to explain away as miscounted or just lost in the store somewhere. 25 is going to raise a a red flag. |

This raises a question for me. As with the looting in London last year, if someone steals an iphone, ipad, etc, surely the serial number would identify it as a stolen unit, and you wouldn't be able to activate it. So (and this is my reason for asking), if you were to inadvertently buy a stolen item off eBay, where do you stand..? I'd like to buy my wife a 2nd hand iPad (to stop her hogging mine! ), but am really worried that I'd end up having it confiscated when I tried to restore it. And yes, I know that in all probability, most iPads on eBay aren't stolen, but it would be just my luck..
Does anyone have any experience of such a situation..? What did Apple do..? |

Nice Sub

I have two of these in a Ported box witch is currently being torn apart by these subs. I also own a 15" Rockford HE2, and these 12's sound great for their size. We often get compliments. These subs sound very good with loud music such as rap, we also have it tuned for rock. These subs will make any music sound great.

Every June, we take our family trip to Hawaii. Our favorite breakfast meal is the coconut, banana and macadamia nut pancakes. It's the end of April, and I can't wait for June to get here. Overly anxious, this morning I decided to recreate those pancakes for breakfast.
Originally, I had planned on making these pancakes gluten-free. I used my newly purchased gluten-free flour and coconut flour, and mixed in all of the ingredients. I performed my taste test on the batter, but was less than satisfied. Then the grilling began…my pancakes were mounds of mush, looking more like potato pancakes, quickly burning on the outside with the inside still raw. That's when I called it quits, disposed of the uncooked pancakes, and began a new batch, this time using all-purpose flour and changing up some of the ingredients, to ensure lower calories(need to keep it Skinnylucious).
Several months ago, when I began Skinnyluscious, my plan was to start cooking healthier and lighter meals for my family. This journey has taken me into experimenting with whole foods, organic, vegan, clean eating, wheat-free, and now gluten-free. I'm discovering that my family enjoys simple meals that I make using whole organic foods while avoiding ingredients with high fat content.
My gluten-free disaster turned into a success. As quoted from our youngest daughter, "I can taste all of the flavors, the coconut, banana, and macadamia nuts in these pancakes. From now on, these are the only pancakes I want to eat".
I must admit these are now my favorite pancakes too. So moist and delicious, and best of all they tasted like breakfast in Hawaii.
Coconut, Banana + Macadamia Nut Pancakes
Makes 6 pancakes (1/2 cup serving)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 (1-ounce) package uncooked instant farina (such as Cream of Wheat)
- 1 1/4 cups coconut milk, light
- 1 Tbsp canola oil or coconut oil, melted
- 1 Tbsp agave syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup organic unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 banana, mashed
- To prepare pancakes, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and farina in a large bowl; stir with a whisk.
- In another bowl, combine coconut milk, agave, oil, vanilla, and egg; add to flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Fold in coconut, nuts, and banana.
- Spoon 1/2-cup batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle. Flip over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked.
- Serve with maple syrup!

Jason Spencer Leaving Arlington, Clarendon Patch
Jason Spencer, the editor of the Arlington, McLean and Clarendon-Courthouse-Rosslyn Patch websites, has been laid off, effective today.
Spencer, who started at Clarendon Patch in May 2011 before taking over Arlington and McLean as Patch began losing staff, is a casualty of Patch's mass layoffs, which were announced today. The 900-site hyperlocal news network is restructuring under new owners Hale Global, which is in the process of acquiring majority control of the business from Aol.
The Patch sites Spencer had helmed will still be operational, but its unclear at this point who will be running the site and how the site will cover local news, if at all.
"Today will be my last day at Patch," Spencer wrote on Arlington Patch's Facebook page. "For those of you I've worked with over the past (almost) three years, it's been a pleasure. Arlington has been a great place to get to know and to cover — it certainly was a social and political 180 from the community I had previously covered in South Carolina! And thanks to the readers who have kept us going."
The editor of the Alexandria and Del Ray Patch sites, Drew Hansen, was also let go today. Media watchdog Jim Romenesko reports that somewhere between two-thirds and 90 percent of Patch editors across the country were let go today.

Marymount to Hold Talk on 'Role of Media in 2012 Campaign'
(Updated at 3:45 p.m.) Marymount University will be holding a talk on the role of media in the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign.
The speaker will be former New York Times correspondent, political analyst and best-selling author Steven V. Roberts, husband of ABC News political commentator Cokie Roberts.
His lecture, which is free and open to the public, is entitled "From The Times to Twitter: The Role of Media in the 2012 Campaign." The event is being held on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Reinsch Library Auditorium on Marymount's main campus (2807 N. Glebe Road).
Interested attendees are asked to RSVP by calling 703-526-6872.
Local Media Stars Coming to Clarendon for 'Junkies' Sundress Party
The Sports Junkies will be hosting their 5th annual Sundress Party at Clarendon Ballroom (3185 Wilson Blvd) tonight, and a number of local TV and radio personalities are expected to attend.
Doors at the Ballroom open at 5:00 p.m. and the event, which is free and open to the public, kicks off at 7:00 p.m. Ladies are encouraged to "get dressed in summer's finest" and enter for chances to win prizes like gift cards to Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom's, Coach, and MAC cosmetics.
In addition to the Junkies themselves — Cakes, E.B., Lurch and J.P. — a number of local media personalities are expected to attend, including Angie Goff and Eun Yang from NBC 4; Bri Carter, Britt McHenry (pictured, with E.B.) and Jummy Olabanji from ABC 7; and Tommy McFly and Kelli Collis from Fresh 94.7 FM.
There will be a cover to enter the Ballroom after 10:00 p.m. Last year the Sundress Party was held at the Georgetown Waterfront.
The Junkies are on the air weekdays from 5:00 to 10:00 a.m. on WJFK 106.7 FM "The Fan."

Arlington Reporter Leaves TBD
This is the last day on the job for Rebecca A. Cooper, the Arlington community reporter for Rosslyn-based TBD.com.
Cooper joined TBD last July, a month before the site launched. She was formerly a contributor to DCist.com and a reporter for a Long Island newspaper. No word yet on her future plans.
TBD is in the midst of layoffs and will likely not replace Cooper or her Arlington coverage.
The layoffs are part of a reorganization that will shift TBD's mission from being a primarily news-oriented site to exclusively arts and entertainment-oriented site.
TBD's corporate sister, television station WJLA (ABC 7), will eventually relaunch WJLA.com as a separate, news-oriented web site. (WJLA.com was replaced by TBD after its launch.)
On a personal note, it was a pleasure working alongside Rebecca, who was a total pro and brought an unrivaled depth to her Arlington reporting. Whatever she does next, we hope she stays here in Imperfect Arlington.
AIM Offers Spring Classes for Advanced Media Creators
Arlington Independent Media has unveiled the schedule of spring classes for its Master of Independent Media program. The classes offer in-depth instruction for advanced media creators at a relatively low cost — between $150 and $300.
Here's a list of the classes offered.
- Introduction to Drupal-Based Web Sites (Feb. 16 – March 30)
- Photoshop Digital Darkroom (Feb. 24 – March 10)
- Marketing Media Projects (March 1 – April 5)
- Digital Still Photography (April 28 – June 2)
- Location Lighting for Film and Video (March 28 – May 2)
- Producing and Directing Narrative Works (March 31 – May 5)
Arlington's Neighborhoods, According to WUSA9
Maybe they were looking at a map of Virginia's convoluted 8th Congressional District?
Arlington Gets a New Reporter
The full-time Arlington press corps is growing by 50 percent. Rebecca A. Cooper has just been named the Arlington neighborhood reporter for the forthcoming TBD.com.
"I'm thrilled!" Cooper told ARLnow.com. "Arlington has been my home for almost four years, and I'm always discovering new niches and quirks about the place. The area certainly has been crying out for some more coverage, and I'm excited to start adding to what's already out there."
Cooper will begin reporting on Arlington when TBD launches. The launch date is, well, TBD, but we're thinking "by the end of summer" seems like a decent guess.
TBD, owned by Allbritton Communications and helmed by former washingtonpost.com executive editor Jim Brady, will be both a web site, which will replace the current web sites of ABC7 and NewsChannel8, and a TV channel, which will replace the current format of NewsChannel8.
Cooper joins Scott McCaffrey and this guy on the full-time Arlington beat. Other reporters who regularly cover Arlington as part of a wider beat include the Washington Post's Christy Goodman, WAMU's David Schultz, the Washington Examiner's Markham Heid and Connection Newspapers' Delia Sava and Michael Lee Pope.
Prior to joining TBD, Cooper worked as a staff writer for DCist.com, covering mostly food, drink and culture. Her resume also includes three years as a community reporter on Long Island.
It's worth noting that Cooper is the second DCist staffer to defect for TBD. Former DCist editor Sommer Mathis joined TBD in June.
Road Closures for Sen. Byrd Funeral in North Arlington
A public memorial service for West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, the longest-serving U.S. senator in history, is being held at 11:00 this morning at the Memorial Baptist Church in North Arlington.
Limited public seating will be available at the funeral, which is also expected to draw a large media contingent to the church at 3455 North Glebe Road.
After the service, a private internment ceremony will be held at the Columbia Gardens Cemetery in Ashton Heights.
The Arlington Police Department is warning of parking and other restrictions near the funeral. There will also be rolling road closures during the procession to the cemetery.
Among the the rolling closures will be the southbound lanes of Glebe Road, stretching from the church, through Ballston to Route 50. Parts of North Pershing Drive, North Irving Street and the westbound lanes of Route 50 will also be closed for a time.
Media, Gun Rights Advocates Converge on Gravelly Point
Around noon today at Gravelly Point, there they were, together at last: about 65 flag-waving, sign-holding and gun-toting Second Amendment advocates, swarmed by a slightly larger crowd of photo-snapping and microphone-wielding members of the media.
Off to the side, under the shade of some tall trees, about two dozen police officers looked on. Further in the distance, CNN's John King chatted up a young man wearing nylon cargo pants, a florescent vest and a large rifle.
Nearly all the rally participants had rifles or handguns, and a solid minority had both.
From the bed of a pickup truck, in the middle of the park's large grass field, people started giving speeches.
"I want to thank the media for coming out, as much as I dislike the media," said Tom Fernandez, co-founder of a group called Alarm & Muster.
Two counter-protesters held handmade signs criticizing the timing of the rally — on the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. Fernandez thanked them for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Further into the program, another speaker compared the government's bailout of banks to the hijacking of United Flight 93.
"Does our government not act like suicidal hijackers?" he asked, later shouting the newly-minted term "commie-kazies" as a commercial jetliner roared overhead (it was, at best, a poorly thought-out venue for speeches).
As the speeches continued, reporters conducted one-on-one interviews. Pointed questions were asked.
"What constitutional rights do you think are being violated?"
"What do you think about President Obama?"
"What kind of gun is that?"
Amid the media circus, joggers and bicyclists continued on with their daily routines, some shooting quizzical looks at the gathered crowd.
"I think it's another Tea Party," one bicyclist said to another.
Lot of photos, after the jump.

Found July 27, 2012 on
Kukla's Korner:
Yesterday I posted the worst players by team adjusted Corsi rating. There were two players who are runaway leaders. They are Manny Malhotra of Vancouver who posts a -335.2 team adjusted Corsi and Jim Slater of Winnipeg who posts a -333.8 adjusted Corsi. These two players are more than 50 points worse than any other in the league. Manny Malhotra is a far more excusable. Just as Malhotra is the worst when Corsi is expressed as a rate stat this is due to the fact that he had more defensive zone starts than anyone in history and that will negatively affect his Corsi. I will adjust these Corsi ratings for zone starts in a while in order to take that into account.
That leaves Jim Slater as the worst puck possession player by this statistic.

Well Jason Aaron and Grant Morrison love working with Vertigo editors, so that's not the problem.
It's not that complicated. Image has really liberal creative rights.
Decided to go buy and do a reread of all Hellblazer! Going to be a big task.Has been years since I went through that early stuff. Hopefully by the time I get back to Milligan my distaste for his run will be gone.
Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
What has Morrison done with Vertigo in recent years? Joe Barbarian? Old Vertigo comics of his you mean? Im not a Morrison fan really, Happy is the first im enjoying comics he has written since i read Animal Man like 5 years ago.
I dont care about tv shows, good for the creators money but if there is several new good Vertigo by Aaron and co im fine.
Pull List:
The Walking Dead,Fatale,Near Death,Storm Dogs,Happy,BPRD,XO-Manowar
American Vampire,Animal Man,Swamp Thing
Daredevil, Winter Soldier,Indestructible Hulk
Is there any proof of him actually doing that? That projects has been stalling for years.
I too recently bought the first trade from those re-released editions DC began last year. Quite excited to get reading. My shop is having a 25% off on graphic novels this weekend so I might go and get the other 2 trades(they don't currently have the Vol. 4 Family Man.)
Currently reading:Creepy, Eerie, Frankenstein Alive Alive, The Goon, Haunted Horror, Hellboy in Hell, King Conan: The Conquerer, Minimum Wage
Check out my New Blog! Just a random assortment of ideas, thoughts, and reviews!
Like I wrote, the link is not meant to prove anything besides the dissonance between different segments of the readership, a topic which interests me. I think it's interesting because on CBR I see many lament the death of Hellblazer as if a great comic book were ending (not an opinion shared by me) and other readers who think the lack of quality makes the cancellation more than justified.
I think we can agree that the low sales justified a rethinking of the ongoing series.
They could have tried to change the writer/artist or rise the price or continue with mini series with selected teams, but making it a PG 13 title?
Nah, I think we all can agree that DC didn't care for Hellblazer just like they didn't care for their own history by creating the New 52.
If they had, then they would have given it a popular creator or change the price tag like you said.
It's weird how a major company can't see that they're doing a mistake.
Well, the series had some great writers (allegedly; I don't think very highly of them) - Azzarello, Carey, Diggle, Milligan (to say nothing of the abysmal Denise Mina, who nevertheless continues to get gigs at Vertigo) - and they couldn't stop the bleeding. It's something we should reflect about - how come so many diverse writers couldn't invert the loss of sales, or at least stabilize them? In my humble opinion that's because none bothered to bring their A game to the series and mostly treated it like fan-fic. I think that was especially visible in the last years, with Milligan's absurd storylines that seemed like parodies. They must have thought Constantine's personality could survive whatever nonsense or cliché they threw at him to deal with, but they forgot his personality is only worth the talent of whoever is writing him, and lately I hadn't been recognizing him in Milligan's run, before I cancelled it. Obviously my opinion is a minority here, but the series's still selling miserably and it's still getting cancelled.
Sales were stabilized between 9,000-10,000. Its been posted countless times that Vertigo mostly survives due to TPB sales of comics . If a series can't sell well in TPB it won't last. Hellblazer would have been cancelled years ago if the TPB sales wasn't there.

I'm not the type to argue, so please take this as a discussion, but given the choice between industrial bolts, washers, and nuts, and industrial fabric cleaning devices, I'll assume that the former is the more 'boring' of the two. As such, I'd suggest that since the visitors/buyers are likely to be a mixture of industrial engineers and industrial hardware purchasing agents, a good approach would be to provide hardware selection guides, explain the various types of washers and their applications, describe materials selected for each part (e.g chrome-pated carbon steel, stainless steel, etc.), durability of these materials, washer design vibration characteristics, corrosion resistance, size, dimensional tolerances -- all the factors that an engineer would consider when selecting a parts. And even if these parts are standardized across the industry, the engineer looking for a part might have lent his 15-pound paper catalog and applications guide to another engineer two cubicles down... Put all the info where he can get to it fast, without having to hunt down that catalog. For the purchasing agent, go out of your way to make the purchasing experience smooth and error-free -- that's probably what is most important to them. Just because a product is mundane doesn't mean that you can't publish useful information about it. I believe that it will turn out to be the most effective future-proofing possible in a world of paid-for and off-topic links. I don't think the search engines will get to this holy grail soon, but they've made it clear that it is their goal to return the 'best' documents; How they'll get there is unknown, but they've said that's what they want to do, and I believe them... It's just a matter of time. Jim
> EFV's point is fine if you have an info site as he does but does not do you much good if you have a commecial site on industrial washers as the appeal is just not there.

Hi All,
I have a FM 10 book of nearly 200 pages and 7 chapters. It has a nice index (index of markers).
Today, I found out that the index is not getting updated when I am updating the book. The new entries are not coming.
The option "Generate Table of contents, Lists and Indexes" is selected while updating. And it was working fine previously, this problem much came in recently. I noticed it today.
When I try to generate a new index, the generated file comes blank. Though the index entries in the book are all right, FM is not detecting them.
I will very much appreciate some quick help in this matter.
> ... steps to re-recognize the file in FM?
Assuming your book is MyTome.book and the IX file is MyTomeIX.fm
This works on alternate Wednesdays and in FM releases that are prime numbers.
I do not have 2 IOMs defined in the Reference page.
After some R&D, I am being able to add a new index in the following way:
1. Click/Select the book file.
2. Click Add > Standard index.
But the new index file do not seem to use our master page. But I imported these (all formats including masterpages and ref pages) from the old index file and now it is looking all the same.
My question is: This will be pretty much identical to the old index, right? I just want to make sure I am not spoiling up. Everything looks the same though. Do I need to change a few settings somewhere?
Error, I am not being able to ressuract the old index as you stated, need to go with the new one.
Perhaps I misunderstood your initial post...
If you are creating a standard index (with a suffix of IX), you likely have 2 IX definitions in your reference pages. When you import the ref pages back into your new doc, you reintroduce the problem.
Either reformat your new index, or avoid importing your reference pages from the bad IX into the new and you should be fine.
> I imported these (all formats including masterpages and ref pages)
> from the old index file and now it is looking all the same.
That's Plan B, and is a more reliable route, but is more work than Plan A.
> ... I am not being able to ressuract the old index as you stated ...
What happened?

New submitter fplatten writes "I think this is all you need to see to know what legacy Steve Ballmer has left at Microsoft, where its IE browser market share has collapsed from a high of 86% in 2002 to just 9% now. I guess this is just another in a long list of tech companies that failed to maintain its dominant market share. Also, IE may be the one product that never really deserved it, but just piggybacked on Windows, and users left in droves once decent (more secure) alternatives and standards became popular." Microsoft stockholders probably don't feel too badly about the Ballmer legacy overall, though -- browser choice is a pretty small arm of the octopus.

Security company FireEye uncovered the zero-day flaw on at least one breached U.S. site, describing the exploit as a 'classic drive-by download attack'. But FireEye also noted the malware doesn't write to disk and disappears on reboot — provided it hasn't already taken over your PC — making it trickier to detect, though easier to purge. '[This is] a technique not typically used by advanced persistent threat (APT) actors,' the company said. 'This technique will further complicate network defenders' ability to triage compromised systems, using traditional forensics methods.'"

Google says it has stopped all testing and engineering work related to IE9, given that IE11 was released on October 17 along with Windows 8.1. This means that IE9 users who access Gmail and other Google Apps services will be notified 'within the next few weeks' that they need to upgrade to a more modern browser. Google says this will either happen through an in-product notification message or an interstitial page."

Instead, as the Washington Post reports, a payment processing security standard forces most South Koreans to rely upon Internet Explorer for online shopping. Since the standard uses a unique encryption algorithm, an ActiveX control is required to complete online purchases. As a result, many internet users are in the habit of approving all AtivceX control prompts, potentially exposing them to malware."

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from The Register: "The Windows 8.1 rollout has hit more hurdles: the new version 11 of Internet Explorer that ships with the operating system does not render Google products well and is also making life difficult for users of Microsoft's own Outlook Web Access webmail product. The latter issue is well known: Microsoft popped out some advice about the fact that only the most basic interface to the webmail tool will work back in July. It seems not every sysadmin got the memo and implemented Redmond's preferred workarounds, but there are only scattered complaints out there, likely because few organisations have bothered implementing Windows 8.1 yet." Also from the article: "Numerous reports suggest that IE 11 users can once again enjoy access to all things Google if they un-tick the IE 11 option to 'Use Microsoft Compatibility lists.'" And here's Microsoft KB work around.

The preview bug bounty program started on June 26 and went on till July 26 with Microsoft revealing at the time that it will pay out a maximum of $11,000 for each IE 11 vulnerability that was reported. Microsoft paid out the $28k to a total of six researchers for reporting 15 different bugs. According to Microsoft's 'honor roll' page, they paid $9,400 to James Forshaw of Context Security for pointing out design level vulnerabilities in IE11 as well as four IE11 flaws. Independent researcher Masato Kinugawa was paid $2,200 for reporting two bugs. Jose Antonio Vazquez Gonzalez of Yenteasy Security Research walked off with $5,500 for reporting five bugs while Google engineers Ivan Fratric and Fermin J.

chicksdaddy writes "Lucre from Microsoft's newly minted bug bounty program is lining the pockets of Google researchers. Two Google employees earned the distinction of receiving some of the first (official) monetary rewards under the company's bounty program. Fermín Serna, a researcher in Google's Mountain View, California headquarters, said he received a bounty issued by Microsoft this week for information on an Internet Explorer information leak that could allow a malicious hacker to bypass Microsoft's Address Space Layout Randomization (or ASLR) technology. His bounty followed the first ever (officially) paid to a researcher by Microsoft: a bounty that went to Serna's colleague, Ivan Fratic, a Google engineer based in Zurich, Switzerland, for information about a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 11 Preview. Serna declined to discuss the details of his discovery until Microsoft had a patch ready to release. But he said that any weakness in ASLR warranted attention. 'Mainly all security mitigations in place depend on ASLR. So bringing that one down, weakens the system a lot and makes it easy the exploitation of other vulnerabilities,' he said. As for his bounty, Serna (whose resume includes work for Microsoft on the MSRC Engineering team) said it was 'way less' than the maximum $11,000 bounty for a full, working exploit that bypasses all the Windows 8 mitigations (which includes ASLR as well as the Data Execution Prevention or DEP technology).

rescendent writes sends this report about new features in Internet Explorer 11: "Microsoft released Windows Server ("Blue") to MSDN subscribers today, ahead of the BUILD conference later this week in San Francisco. The build provides us a number of clues as to what we will see in the official Windows 8.1 (Blue) preview. The server build number is 9341, the Windows 8.1 preview build will be: 6.3.9431.winmain_bluemp.130615-1214. IE11 scores 351/500 + 2 bonus point, and 25/25 for WebGL. Since this is a server build, the score may be a little higher than IE11 on Win 8.1, but this confirms WebGL for IE11. IE11 WebGL Conformance Test Results: 14,748 of 20,509 tests pass (71.9%). Many things seen in the Server 2012 R2 preview will also show up in the Windows 8.1 preview."

judgecorp writes "Microsoft has sponsored research that indicates that its Internet Explorer browser uses less power than the competition, Firefox and Google (there's no explanation of what causes the difference). However, the difference in power use is not really significant — it's about one Watt when browsing. Browsing for 20 hours at this rate, the IE user would save enough power to make a cup of tea, compared with Firefox and Chrome users. That Microsoft commissioned and published the report seems to indicate a certain desperation to Microsoft's IE marketing efforts."

SternisheFan writes with an excerpt from Ars Technica: "Attacks exploiting a previously unknown and currently unpatched vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser have spread to at least nine other websites, including those run by a big European company operating in the aerospace, defense, and security industries as well as non-profit groups and institutes, security researchers said. The revelation, from a blog post published Sunday by security firm AlienVault, means an attack campaign that surreptitiously installed malware on the computers of federal government workers involved in nuclear weapons research was broader and more ambitious than previously thought. Earlier reports identified only a website belonging to the US Department of Labor as redirecting to servers that exploited the zero-day remote-code vulnerability in IE version 8. ... 'The specific Department of Labor website that was compromised provides information on a compensation program for energy workers who were exposed to uranium,' CrowdStrike said. 'Likely targets of interest for this site include energy-related US government entities, energy companies, and possibly companies in the extractive sector. Based on the other compromised sites other targeted entities are likely to include those interested in labor, international health and political issues, as well as entities in the defense sector.'"

First time accepted submitter carlypage3 writes "Benefits claimants in the UK are being forced to use Microsoft's now obsolete Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 software. The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) states that its online forms are not compatible with Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9 and 10, Safari, Google Chrome or Firefox. As if that wasn't unnerving enough, the Gov.UK website says that users cannot submit claims using Mac OS X or Linux operating systems, either." (Note: as we noted not long ago, it's not just the DWP that's stuck using IE6.)

mikejuk writes "The biggest problem with IE10 as far as modern web apps go is its lack of WebGL support. Now we have strong evidence that IE11 will support WebGL. A leaked build of Windows 'Blue,' aka Windows 8.1, also contained an early version of IE11. Web developer François Remy decided to see what it was hiding and found that there were WebGL APIs, but they were non-functional. Rafael Rivera, who writes the Within Windows blog, dug a little deeper and discovered the registry keys that have to be changed to enable WebGL support. Apparently the API works so well that you can take existing WebGL programs (with OpenGL shaders) and just run them. As the implementation also supports DirectX HLSL shaders, it seems reasonable to guess that the implementation maps OpenGL to DirectX, thus avoiding Microsoft having to endorse OpenGL use."

Billly Gates writes "With the new leaked videos and screenshots of Windows Blue released, IE 11 is also included. IE 10 just came out weeks ago for Windows 7 users and Microsoft is more determined than ever to prevent IE from becoming irrelevant as Firefox and Chrome scream past it by also including a faster release schedule. A few beta testers reported that IE 11 changed its user agent string from MSIE to IE with the 'like gecko' command included. Microsoft may be doing this to stop web developers stop feeding broken IE 6-8 code and refusing to serve HTML 5/CSS 3 whenever it detects MSIE in its user agent string. Unfortunately this will break many business apps that are tied to ancient and specific version of IE. Will this cause more hours of work for web developers? Or does IE10+ really act like Chrome or Firefox and this will finally end the hell of custom CSS tricks?"

Dystopian Rebel writes "A Stanford comp-sci student has found a serious bug in Chromium, Safari, Opera, and MSIE. Feross Aboukhadijeh has demonstrated that these browsers allow unbounded local storage. 'The HTML5 Web Storage standard was developed to allow sites to store larger amounts of data (like 5-10 MB) than was previously allowed by cookies (like 4KB). ... The current limits are: 2.5 MB per origin in Google Chrome, 5 MB per origin in Mozilla Firefox and Opera, 10 MB per origin in Internet Explorer. However, what if we get clever and make lots of subdomains like 1.filldisk.com, 2.filldisk.com, 3.filldisk.com, and so on? Should each subdomain get 5MB of space? The standard says no. ... However, Chrome, Safari, and IE currently do not implement any such "affiliated site" storage limit.' Aboukhadijeh has logged the bug with Chromium and Apple, but couldn't do so for MSIE because 'the page is broken" (see http://connect.microsoft.com/IE). Oops. Firefox's implementation of HTML5 local storage is not vulnerable to this exploit."

An anonymous reader writes "Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 is out. Windows 8 may suck but now you can at least enjoy (most of) that version's Internet Explorer. IE10 for Win7, originally not planned, has seen the light of day after all — four months after it debuted in Windows 8. It is available via Windows Update as an optional update; however, if you've already installed a pre-release version, it will be updated automatically as an 'important' update. IE10 on Win7 requires a platform update to bring some Windows 8 APIs to the more mature Windows, and it will not feature embedded Adobe Flash as the Windows 8 version does (use the plug-in version from Adobe, as usual, instead)."
