Love, politics, and class at once bring together and tear apart an extended family in this period drama. In 1920, Ireland is in the midst of a political upheaval, as upper class Anglo-Irish Protestants are driven from the country by the nation's increasingly vocal wishes Irish Catholic majority. Sir Richard Naylor ([[Performer~P25729~Michael Gambon~michaelgambon]]) and his wife Lady Myra ([[Performer~P66495~Maggie Smith~maggiesmith]]) are wealthy members of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy who slowly realize the life they've known in County Cork is coming to an end. Living with the Naylors are their financially-embarrassed friends Hugo and Francie Montmorency ([[Performer~P76764~Lambert Wilson~lambertwilson]] and [[Performer~P6297~Jane Birkin~janebirkin]]); Marda Norton ([[Performer~P64917~Fiona Shaw~fionashaw]]), another friend who was one involved with Hugo; their nephew Laurence ([[Performer~P270342~Jonathan Slinger~jonathanslinger]]), a student at Oxford; and their niece Lois ([[Performer~P242434~Keeley Hawes~keeleyhawes]]). Lois is infatuated with Gerald ([[Performer~P264435~David Tennat~davidtennant]]), a British officer helping to mind the Naylors' property, though Myra believes he's beneath Lois' station; however, she's also keenly attracted to Connolly ([[Performer~P196835~Gary Lydon~garylydon]]), an IRA soldier who is hiding in a mill on the estate. The Last September was based on the novel by Elizabeth Bowen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Thing that makes me frown often:
convertingtowhovianity's last post was about 8 months ago. She was doing a series of very sweet, (VERY) enthusiastic liveblogs of her first NuWho watch from Series 1 up towards the present. Her love for the show was infectiously immense, and while she was unafraid to criticise it where it left her unsatisfied, she never came in with the in-built cynicisms and prejudgements that so many fans (me included) have. She had a real appreciation of the imagination and thought that went into making it all.
After really enjoying Series 5, she had just made it up to the end of The Pandorica Opens - the worst moment possible, right at the cliffhanger. Her last post to date was roughly a month after that, near Christmas, explaining that she'd had to stop due to high workload and that she'd hopefully be able to get back to posting that very night. Then she simply disappeared.
Just to be clear, anyone is free to stop posting if they want, and they don't have to explain themselves to a bunch of strangers on the Internet. But I can't help but worry that something may have happened…I'm sure I speak for everyone who was following her when I say, I hope she's safe and happy. And that she caught/catches up with DW at some point, because good god I bet she'd love certain later episodes. :)doctor who convertingtowhovianity nuwho

I use Magic DVD ripper to put my DVD's on my computer. On my XP machine (Q6600 with 4MB RAM) a full length movie can take around 9 minutes. I figured I'd get that way down on this new machine so I tried it out today just for kicks. Tested the same movie on both machines. Took 9 minutes on the XP machine and a little more than that on the W7 machine. Wow was I disappointed. I'm guessing Magic DVD Ripper (v 5.4.2 which is the most recent) has no idea how to make use of the power of this machine. I wrote them a note but haven't heard back yet.

I didn't say this exactly in my OP but one of the things I like about Magic DVD Ripper is that I can backup a DVD lossless to my HDD. It's not converting it to mpeg or avi (although that's possible). It puts the exact contents of the DVD onto the drive and makes it playable from there. And from there it is possible to create a DVD which would be an exact copy of the original. Do you know if either of your suggestions are capable of that? I couldn't tell from reading about them but it seemed like maybe not.

Home > News > Avera St. Luke's staffers certified in Sportsmetrics™
Published on May 11, 2011
Theresa Backous, Avera St. Luke's Sports Medicine and Acceleration Manager, and Joe Dudley, Acceleration supervisor, have become certified in Sportsmetrics™, a program that assists in reducing the risks of serious knee injury and enhances athletic performance.
As certified instructors, Backous and Dudley can use Sportsmetrics as part of an injury reduction program, a rehabilitation program, as well as using the techniques to enhance performance. Avera St. Luke's will start offering this nationally recognized program to athletes in the Aberdeen region in June.
Sportsmetrics is the only injury prevention program that offers certification, while having access to the latest research in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and prevention from nationally-known researcher Dr. Frank Noyes. The Sportsmetrics program has seen great success with female soccer and basketball athletes, but has helped properly train athletes of both sexes and from many sports. Sportsmetrics is also the first ACL injury prevention program scientifically proven to decrease serious knee ligament injuries in female athletes.
The Sportsmetrics™ program, developed and supported by Cincinnati Sports Medicine, uses jumping drills to teach the athlete to pre-position the entire body safely when accelerating (jumping) or decelerating (landing), along with sport specific speed, agility, strength and conditioning drills to complement this ACL injury prevention program.
For more information on Sportsmetrics, call (605) 622-5871.

@markmaker - I just threw the bar at the top together in ms paint(along with everything else). I would picture it looking more like the toolbar at the top of blogger.
Anyways, the issue here plain and simple is that the forum home page is visually unattractive and not instantly navigable to someone who has never been here. And for someone who has been here a while we realize the design is just a shell of what it used to be. In this digital age we all have ADD and if something looks scattered and unorganized we wont stick around to figure it out. Not everyone is like this, but you have to treat the situation like everyone is like this. We want meat, and we want it hot and right in front of us, not scattered pieces of beef jerky with lint on them. CA.org used to be pure 100% grass fed beef..
I'm not being a hater, but this upgrade thing just seems like a disaster. Sites do this shit all the time, trying to add new features and streamline old ones.
Get back to the basics, back to the foundations. Figure out what it was that made it work. Yes, people are a huge portion of that but so is the place you give them to socialize. Really though, it doesn't seem like whoever owns this site is interested in the community, nearly as much as they are as making money from it.
Last edited by wardrum; December 16th, 2013 at 09:57 AM.
I also understand this costs money, yes. Get some adds on the borders of site - if that improves what's at the core of the site without disrupting the community, do it. I can ignore what's on the borders, I can't ignore what's in the center if I'm trying to use the damn thing.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Jason for putting together the workshops on composition, colour theory etc. I got a lot out of both of them and I'm really looking forward to the one on character design in January. You're doing a great job!
The problem with the internet is, it gives everyone an equal voice so it becomes difficult to know who's worth paying attention to. Especialy when so many people are more interested in making out they know more than they do. Egos are terrible things.
Well when we do get going on the redesign, I want those people who do give constant sterling advice to have an awesomeness badge.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
Conceptart.org's strength is in its information library and activities. There are no other sites that provide experts and tutorials that are easy to navigate and in a true "knitting circle" style feel. If you're a reader, like I am, one enjoys this dense style of reading. Navigation does need an update.
I have joined newgrounds, which I like, and I have also liked Saatchi online. both of these provide a gallery feature that is nonexistent on Conceptart.org. it was implemented before (vbulletin supports it) but for some reason it was taken away. I honestly could do without CA's Sketchbook section - it's obtuse for viewing art - sketchbooks or not. I much prefer vbulletin's addon gallery function.
Generally half of all artists, like doctors are a snotty and temperamental lot, so it's impossible to find any open community that is free of all problems. the other half is comprised of silly weirdos, who generally are the people that make art fun for all of us
Also donation buttons are illegal in the US unless you're a nonprofit, and can provide those little tax forms just fyi. I don't know if CA is a non profit now or not. You can change it to "contribute" or "help with server costs".
Last thought - vbulletin is complex, but it is still the only solution for a serious forum. I have seen excellent sites run on proboards - sort of a ghetto version of vbulletin. The forum format isn't going to go away, but quality forums will stand heads and toes above trashy fly by the pants forums like Deviant Art's forums or whatever. When a user gets used to a site, it's not hard to navigate. Vbulletin is excellent forum software. CGhub also uses it. (Fuck them, by the way. I hate CGhub.) CA has become so simplified compared to what it WAS, I don't think you can simplify it further. I also still like the warm and friendly Gesso color background. You can tell this site is run by artists, and not trying to be another silly information silo like Facebook.
Remember guys, quantity is not quality. I rather enjoy a slower paced enviroment. CA got way too busy for me for a while there. Too many teenagers on school vacation trying to learn how to draw is NOT a good thing.

I think CA just needs to clean up / organize its interface. The site, to a newcomer, is huge and ungainly and a lot of the stickied / official treads are either unprofessionally written or worryingly outdated. Instead of leaving the prompts and challenges to rot, unanswered, they ought to be consolidated into 'active' and 'inactive' categories. Weekly challenges focusing on one area at a time, perhaps.
I'd also recommend opening this place the hell up - excuse the vulgarity, but really. It's exceptionally difficult to get involved in this website - it has much potential still, and for me is a rediscovered gold mine of improvement. If only the userbase was larger, the traffic greater - which means, yes, making things a little bit easier for the lower common denominators. An overhaul, a united format for category rules / stickies, and greater options for user-run (instead of just moderator-run) challenges. Daily sketch prompts, for instance, could do well if they were actually daily - a task easier carried out by a larger group of people instead of a select few.
Uploading. I'm guessing the large part of money-to-hosting ratio is for the image hosting - the thing about Tumblr, for instance, is that you CAN direct-link to your images and they DON'T expire / exceed bandwidth, which is a thing supplanting photobucket or imageshack or other CA vagaries. While it's very generous for CA to offer free image hosting, it'd be easier and simpler to retract the img tag restrictions in certain forums and let users host their own images - maybe even provide tutorials on how to make / upload / link thumbnails to avoid page stretching and other issues.
Basically, organizing, streamlining, and keep on keeping on. I like the idear of this community and love what it's accomplihed in the past, but it NEEDS to evolve or fall the way, say Elfwood fell when DevArt reared up.
A little bit of personal background - I've used genre forums up to this point instead of strictly art ones. High-traffic places like GaiaOnline used to provide great feedback, community and shared interest - and its format was open as far as html could take you. CA is definitely WAY more professional, but would do good with the same free flow and attention.
when all,s said and done the message is clearit,s lonely as king in the kingdom of fear
"a lot of the stickied / official treads are either unprofessionally written or worryingly outdated."
This is true, gotta keep it simple and high quality. This requires administrators to constantly be grooming the site checking for outdated information, sloppy threads or ones that are just not necessary anymore. Far more than simply more activities, the site needs good grooming.
One of the problems here is that some of the moderators were not well chosen for this site, and no one bothered to weed out the inactive/redundant/bothersome ones after CA grew up that liked to just harass the artists and never make art themselves, until they just decided to up and have tantrums all by themselves and quit. They plenty of damage to the site and the site survived it because it was just big enough to escape from these toxic turds. I have seen what happens when moderators are not managed properly, in example, in not being rewarded when they do good things, or are not given certain powers when they need it, or conversely, not being hired in the first place. All moderators in my opinion need at least 1 year of experience moderating on any kind of board - even if its something silly - before they are allowed to do moderating, with some exceptions to this case being that they are mature people with some managing ability in human resources. There needs to be a structure to the management just like in a corporation, where there is a clear General Manager, Assistant Manager and moderators. Those higher managers with backend access should have professional level experience with the very complex vbulletin system.
On an anarchy site like Wikipedia for example, it's a different situation, because the entire community can pitch in with assume-good-faith contributions, and the whole thing updates itself practically. Here it is not the case. Have you ever tried to get a thread moved or a discussion moderatored here? It's completely impossible. no one will get back to you and they never do proper investigations. There is a huge moderator team that is almost a figurehead. There is no way to tell who is really in charge or even active mods. This hands off approach is really not a great way to improve the site. One has to rely on the unpaid contributions of a handful of seemingly arbitrarily picked moderators.
And as you can see, the proof is in the pudding. the site has not experienced growth in the past year, instead it has suffered a rather sharp decline.
Why in the world do you have administrators who have not logged on in nearly a year?
Why do you have moderators who havn't posted for over 6 months? It's insane is what it is.
I have to ask myself, do I stay here for the anarchy or the good management? It seems like we never get the best of either so I'd have to say it's because I like the vbulletin program and have good memories here.
For starters, you need to audit the forum leaders periodically, preferably every 3 months. 3 months of inactivity is well beyond acceptable for even a volunteer moderator or admin. What if their account gets hacked? They can always reapply. And there should be an application process, not some fly by the seat of your pants method of employment. Even volunteers need to meet a certain standard. Reward your moderators with special access of some kind, its easy to burn yourself out on volunteer work. there is a need for CLEAr well defined jobs. You need a thread grooming team and a activity team, a backend site-wide changes team and a conversation mediator. Most people will not be good candidates for all of these jobs. Clearly defining the jobs of the management, web administrator and moderator team is key to success.
About the image hosting:
Yes this does take up a lot of bandwidth. That's not the only thing, hits can be trouble, too I dealt with this on a forum by blocking a problem country, going to approved members only (later this became pay-to-talk) and we now do not recieve faux account applications (rarely). The next thing I did was make attached imgs viewable only to registered users, not the whole www. You don't want to waste an img upload to someone who is not interested enough to register, they can get the idea from the forum-native images for that. (banner, etc) next we used a cloud server in Seattle to augment our US capabilities. Our site gets a million hits per month and we only pay $80 or something for hosting. There was a time when we got a million hits per day, and that really sucked. The enviroment on the forum sucked, all of these trolls and window shoppers just sucked so bad. It's not all about hits. Bigger is never better unless you're in retail or advertising. And I suppose the job forums and sales havnt paid off or you wouldn't be asking for a wiki-donate bar to be filled.
As a small business owner let me tell you I understand having too many pans on the fire, but really with all of these potential volunteers if you just spent a day managing the moderators better you'd be working smarter, not harder.
So to summarize:
Pay attention to your bandwidth - who is coming from where, why and are they a problem? This requires careful attention on a monthly basis.
Make sure moderators know their job, and are doing it. Occasional monitoring of what someone is up to is necessary to avoid disaster. Just because someone is a volunteer doesn't mean they are helping.
Make sure moderators know who to go to for support, and that they have the tools they need.
Make sure moderators know what they are doing.
Make sure managers/admins know what they are doing - you can really wreck a site in the backend.
Do not allow moderators/admins to be absent for more than 3 months (I say 1 month) without permission before revoking their access - this is a hacker safeguard.
Don't allow nepotism to cloud your better judgement. Just because someone is a friend doesn't mean you need to have them managing your baby, especially if they are damaging its reputation.I have revoked access of enough friends and family to tell you - if they are really your friend, they'll understand - especially if your VP is doing it for you, after they've made several mistakes.
Don't ignore member complaints.
Recognize good service in a good timely manner. (IF William B. Hand wasn't a Taurus, I'm sure he would have ragequit by the time he was finally publically recognized for his service.)
Regular editing of content is necessary.
Regular meetings are necessary if you are a site experiencing more than 50 posts a day.
Don't hang out in the mod/admin lounge, for xst's sakes (if you have one). It's incestuous and breeds contempt. Use it for business purposes only.
If you see a problem, fix it right away if you can.
Don't allow mods/admins (even yourself) to perma-delete, except during special purges. Everyone makes mistakes. You can have them move the posts/threads to a special archive for review by someone appointed to the perma-delete job. (I don't reccomend perma deleting anything for legal purposes)
CA isn't going to die unless someone pulls the plug. All communities have the potential to bounce back, with careful tending, just like any other garden or aquarium. (you may have to replace the plants or fish) And especially with places that have a storied history, you do such improvement from a position of strength, relatively. It's so hard starting a site from scratch.

Actually most of those points you've raised are and have been or are being addressed Izi.
Trust me nepotism doesn't ever come into it - gee I temp banned you and I like you.
Mods and helpers have a FB group where we discuss issues on the site on a regular basis, as not all mods can access certain parts of the forum. And we don't hang out there constantly. Only active people are included. Please remember, just because a mod doesn't post, it doesn't mean they aren't helping out elsewhere. Ilyaekae is around when he can log in and he'll never be demoted as long as he lives. The main problem is all the Admin and Mods are volunteers and do this in their spare time. I work full time and still put in 3 to 5 hours a day (it can be a lot more), everyday (including Christmas) here, and the rest do what they can, which is why we have so many, but we do need more for some stuff. I'm pretty cautious in asking anyone to be a mod, as not everyone has the temperament required, but I have my eye on a couple of members.
Rules for members and mods are being drawn up and are currently being revised. We understand the need for clear rules on both sides.
Complaints are never ignored, though we may not always agree with them, that doesn't mean they haven't been addressed. We get far more than 50 posts a day here.
Disputed posts are not perma deleted, only spam and duplicated ones are.
It's so fucking stupid that CA got hacked, with all of these "admins" and mods.
Gee I'm not a moderator and I have a perfectly okay time posting and interacting with my friends. I certainly don't think being a moderator would be a promotion. But I have an understanding of website administration and forum administration and know that it's more of an impedence to having fun on a site if all you can ever do when you go there is see work that needs to be done.
Good contributors are best left as normal members, imo. It's not the army or a social club. If you are not doing a job you should not have access to vbulletin tools. This is simply good webmastership and any webmaster would agree with me that it is the proper and safe way to do things. My sites, especially vbulletin sites, HAVE NEVER BEEN HACKED. EVER. Have they tried? Yes. One site is particularily hated in China.
If you are doing and avoiding all of the things that I mentioned then I have no suggestions for the site. I can tell you it was not this way in the past and this has lead to the state we find ca.org in today. I looked around today and I like all of the changes to the board and the new legal section, everything is a lot cleaner and more well organized
good that you banned me I thought I was perma banned for insulting someone who worked at Mobage. I have no idea why you banned me or how long it was but im sure it was because I yelled at someone for being an idiot.

Black Spot,
I'm not sure how you can say that about the mods etc. If for example you look at the bottom of the Lounge threads it lists 12 mods for this section. At least 8 or more of them have not been on in YEARS.
For me, the site has to reassess what it is offering it's users. I have previously mentioned that I think we should look at pursuing the idea of offering aspiring professionals the opportunity to put out merchandise; Look books, a best of CA annual, apparel etc. This would give people the opportunity to experience the professional process of the creative industries, and CA could take a small processing fee from each project to help maintain the site. That way the artist is acquiring experience, a small cash return, and contributing to the community.
The second point that I would like to suggest is that the main reason I came to this site ten years ago was it offered kids like myself the opportunity to engage with professional practitioners, and through that experience gain both insight and skills.
So we need to consider how we can bridge that gap again, possibly look building a bridge between CA members and industry, because that is what this is all about, taking a kids dream of working in art and design and making that a reality.
One last point, I fully appreciate that the running costs of site like this must be substantial, but I am unconvinced that asking people to donate cash for a service that has seen such a decline in recent years is certainly bordering on the inappropriate, even more so when you factor in that a great deal of people left here due to scandal, and issues with unpaid dues.
I was reading this discussion and I thought I would give a viewpoint from someone who is new. Of course this is just one newbie's thoughts. When I first came here, I thought the site was dead. It made me a bit sad, but it had lots of information so I started reading it. Most of the information threads were months or years old so i assumed the forum had become more of an archive than an active forum. This especially seemed true when I went to the intro thread and saw all this intro of new and excited members who had 0 replies. Because in most cases, active forums greet their new members in order to make them feel welcomed and to show its a thriving community. Usually a mod comes in and points them to important threads they need to read.
Still, I decided to join anyway, but I didn't expect it'll be active, but I thought, "Hey, maybe I'll meet some of those newbies and we can hang even if the community is dead." So I made an intro thread and to my surprise people responded, including Black Spot (which I believe is an admin or mod, it doesn't really say, but the name is a different color). So I thought, oh, maybe they are active after all. I was pretty excited. So I started reading around more. I noticed that some of the rules and 'you should read' threads contradicted each other, so I wasn't sure which I should listen to, so I just decided to do some trial and error on learning the boards.
I really like the Sketchbook area and it seemed the most active part of the board. A lot of links didn't work on some of the information boards and several of the threads teaching painting or art would show a process but then the pictures embedded would be missing, so whatever they were teaching I couldn't learn. So that was a bit disappointing.
When I went to the activities thread, I was excited, but soon felt disappointed. Not because it wasn't active (though the activity was low), but most of them said the activity wasn't for beginners. But there really didn't seem to be any activities that were for beginners. So it felt sort of like I have to get good at art, before I could actually participate in the community. Which made me sad, because I was hoping to do activities and beginners competitions would be a nice way for me to practice art. Like Daily Sketch it specifically says in the rules, it is not for beginners. The Character of the Week, so if you're not professional level you don't get to poll or post in the finals. Which is all perfectly fine. I think pro artists or ones close to that level should have their own activities for them too. I just wish there were more for people who are starting out and excited to learn. I think the only one I can really participate in was Spartan, which I fully intend to do, once the new spartan thread is started.
Also, I wondered why there wasn't a comic forum, but there seemed to be lots of people who were interested and did comics. So in order to find information about comics I had to do a search, instead of having a hub for it. My end goal is to do comics and animations. I was excited to see an animation forum, but wondered if there is an animation one why not a comic one. I loved the POW subforum, but it doesn't have discussion threads and I wasn't sure I could just start one up there. Also it had a single thread for none-competition comics, but it felt very constrained, since you don't want to bog the thread down with tons of your comic pages, etc.
Anyway! That was my first impression as a newbie. Despite that I'm excited about being here, because I'm optimistic that things will get better.
I sort of like JohnPrince's idea of a best of CA annual. That certainly would encourage a lot more activity. For many of the amateurs trying to get published it would be a better option than all of those work for publicity offers. However there would have to be some way to opt. in and out because of copyright issues with pro works. It could become like Spectrum for CA and even make it into book stores for non-member collectors.
Ooh! I like that idea of an annual.
nyghtrain, I know exactly what you mean about missing images and links. We're trying to get them better organised and kill the broken ones - it just takes time. It's one of the reasons we prefer images to be hosted on the forum as opposed from outside hosts, where members can accidentally delete an image without thinking the effect it would have here. And, yes, I agree beginners are not well catered in the activities - it used to be that they were divided into different ability levels on the same challenge, but fewer numbers have made that not possible. I don't think it should matter what level you are, because trying to push yourself is always going to help, so enter and see what you can come up with. A lot of people do their comics in their SBs, and we have had some in the Finally Finished forum.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
I think that an annual would be a way of generating enthusiasm for the community while also re-establishing the sentiment of what CA is/used to be about, that is the support and development of aspiring artists.
If this does become a viable project you would have to think about which disciplines to include, being a graphic designer I would like to see that area given some exposure, and I also think that photography, animation, should be given a section.
It would also be interesting to have contributions from members about their year in industry, education, or whatever path they had been following that year. This would serve to break up the content, and allow the product to connect with people from all backgrounds/levels.
Okay, I have to log in to view the forums after so many clicks now? How is this not alienating to casual traffic? It's too much of an "exclusive" thing to do with a site that's struggling in traffic as it is.
Just an honest concern..
Look at the ratio of members to guests(the "what's going on" section at the bottom of the forum home). Maybe some or many of those guest were intending log in anyways, yeah - but, what about the ones that are just passing on through?
"There are currently 742 users online. 49 members and 693 guests"

Has anybody looked at the company at the very bottom of the forum?

Here are some websites they supported with intentions of optimizing traffic:
Is this company really in charge of all the "optimizations" going on here?
my mistake...
the getmediawise group is actually a web marketing company out of the uk that is assisting ca.o with hosting right now...which is very kind of them and above and beyond the call of duty. They are doing some search engine stuff to drive more traffic to your threads and such. All whitehat...all above board.
The changes you are seeing now are mostly being done by me

Maybe I'm not seeing the full effect of all these changes come to fruition just yet. Maybe these changes really could revitalize this site. But... It just seems like adding more stuff to an already disorganized pile isn't the way to fix the issues. This site used to be simple, easy and functional(very practical). Maybe it will be more functional soon but the simple and easy part of it seems to be taking a back seat to these newfangled add-ons.
I really don't want to come off as just a box of complaints, but it's because I love how this site has contributed to the growth of a fantastic artistic community.
The "similar threads" thing seems like a pretty bad idea, honestly, unless threads are locked after no activity for a certain amount of time, or if it's only used in discussion sections. (I worry about browsing, especially from new users, leading to a lot of thread necros and critique on 8-year-old work.) Also, I hope there'll be a way to turn off the top bar; it may just be me, but I barely use settings, PMs, and so forth, so it's a bit intrusive. Maybe there are people who use these features a lot, so it would be super cool if it were optional.
Also, with all these changes, please please please make one of them changing the link colour, or giving it an underline or something. Links are really easy to miss in among a regular block of text.
(Just so it's not all complaints, I do think it's awesome that the forum's getting a cleanup, so thanks for taking the time!)
Thanks Jason. Alot of these new changes are really nice. I like the bar on the right to let users know whats the hot topics etc, havnt checked eeverying, but thew new slim layout is also very nice. thanks
Quick question is the site going to go back to the neutral color or is this new white backgorund here to stay? This white is bloody awful
i LIKE the changes.
Lookin' forward to seeing some stuff in the Start! sub thread and the beginners subforum is a grand idea.
Never Attempt the Possible;attempt the impossible and even if you fail,you'll fall among the stars.
we are going to go with a white background for now...the theme will get finished this week as it takes time..its wip right now.
the similar threads is actually a really good feature but not for obvious reasons. unlike facebook which your posts are just lost in the netherworld, google spiders ca.o daily, as does yahoo, baidu and the rest....and those spiders will pick up those extra links and cause your threads to get picked up by the search engines, meaning people will find your work and the site a lot easier. over half our traffic comes from google...the more people that find ca.o the better.

Colours are strange at moment... and yeah, the similar-thread links are a weird thing. I don't like it that the site is editing links into posts without the thread opener wanting it. It's confusing from my point of view. I don't bother if we have such links again under the threads like in the old times. Now it gives a wrong impression of people promoting threads, but in reality no one has an idea what's popping up behind the links.
edit: okay, now I posted at the same time as Jason.
Hm. Well, I have to wait until the colour scheme is finished, so far I don't like the white and I don't see how it is helping. This isn't Facebook that is okay-ish with its white and blue

I like the grayscale color palette, assuming that the remnants of the old brown one in forms and attachments will go eventually, but it would be better to darken the gray a bit. Keep the text background light, but don't make the page background white, it doesn't improve viewing of the images.
But, frankly, guys, before messing with the unnecessary "badges" and "friends" stuff, please focus on the more basic things. Like fixing the doublepost bug which alternates between scolding you for nonexistent doublepost, or (recently) duplicates the text in your posts. Or making sure the notifications on subscribed threads work.

I cat even imagine more people there, it's crowded there as it is.
Just a random investigation question if anyone has any insight, on the residence part of the packet I obviously am writing my home address, but I went away to college and bc I lived there for over 3 months I will write my addresses at college from the 4 years. Just wondering if this will have any negative effect or if they just take into account I was at school but I was the whole time a NYC resident
I don't see the big hurry to get them to send out the reference letters, they have so much on their plate. If you are on the list to get in, they will get them out to your references. That is something you can't control, you guys need to concentrate on the things you can, like W2s, bank statements, drivers abstract, and SS printout, etc.
Guys, I have my DCAS CPAT orientation tomorrow at 1:00. Any recommendations on what to wear to this session? Will there be a practice event given tomorrow? Appreciate the info.
If I can remember correctly, that was one of the last things done in the process. I had most if my stuff in, anthem my references let me know that they received the letters.
I overheard instructors at the rock talking before the cpat orientation started.
They said cassano wants to do more than 2 a year but they are waiting on approval.

Bromsgrove Operatic Society – Christmas Concert
Catshill Methodist Church
MEMBERS of Bromsgrove Operatic Society were in fine voice to deliver a Christmas Concert to get everyone in the festive mood.
Under the leadership of musical director Laurence Nicholas, the group warmed up a cold December evening with a rousing rendition of Vivaldi's Gloria in D to get the evening off to a fine start.
An inspired programme then saw the choir tackle the Andy Williams hit 'It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' before
singing their hearts out to Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree'.
Nicholas dreamt up his own arrangement for both classic Christmas tunes and his bravery was rewarded with wonderful harmonies from his choir.
Heavenly sounds were packed around an inspiring solo from flautist Jenny Stubbings and one of the highlights of the evening, a performance of hand bell ringing by the Nicholas family.
Laurence invited his wife and four children on stage to perform some classic Christmas carols such as Silent Night and Little Donkey and the performance really brought home how special Christmas is for families.
Heart-warming tunes such as Away in a Manger, Ode to Joy and O Little Town of Bethlehem completed a delightful first half which also included Nicholas's own arrangement of Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas and Barry Manilow's Because it's Christmas.
With such a Christmas theme on show it was fitting that the second half featured music from tinsel-town itself with two numbers from the festive movie Polar Express.
Further solos from the Nicholas family and Jenny Stubbings followed before a stunning conclusion with carols Hark the Herald Angels Sing and O Come, All Ye Faithful followed by Cliff Richard's Mistletoe and Wine and Saviour's Day.
Zadok the Priest brought the curtain down on a wonderful evening of song which was warmly kept moving by the excellent and amusing compere Ian G Cox.
Three versions of Away in a Manger during a packed programme did seem a tad excessive but that should not detract from a feel good concert which was wonderfully crafted, sang and performed and the perfect way to celebrate Christmas.

San Diego City Council terminates deal with Balboa Park centennial group
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego City Council Tuesday cut ties with a volunteer group that tried to stage a yearlong celebration of Balboa Park's centennial.
The directors of Balboa Park Celebration Inc. voted to disband about two months ago and turn over planning activities to the city. The organization was unable to attract enough private dollars to put on a major extravaganza.
BPCI agreed last week to the terms of the termination, which will result in the reimbursement of unspent funds to city coffers.
"Under the terms of this agreement, BPCI expects to transfer roughly a quarter of a million dollars to the city, according to its current financial projections," said Gerry Braun, who described himself as the organization's transition director. "Under the terms of this agreement, BPCI also will transfer to the city all of the records and documents in its possession, excepting those deemed by the City Attorney's Office to be privileged."
Thousands of documents have already been posted on the website www.bpcidocuments.com, and will continue to provide updates in the future, Braun said.
The city also reserved the right to investigate the group's use of $1.6 million in city funds and seek recovery of any misspent municipal money. BPCI could also turn over any remaining private funds, which the city would then use for their intended purpose of staging a celebration.
The termination, which will take effect when signed by Mayor Kevin Faulconer, also maintains that the city and BPCI are separate entities, and the city will not accept any of the group's liabilities.
City officials are in the process of planning a scaled-down celebration at the 1,200-acre park. The centennial will mark 100 years since the 1915 Panama-California Exposition brought international attention to the city.
"This is really kind of a downer given what we expected," said Councilman David Alvarez, who leads a committee that oversaw the centennial planning.
Council President Todd Gloria said the "grand vision" of a spectacular celebration proved "unworkable" in retrospect. He said he believes BPCI has been cooperative, and termination of the contracts will allow the city to move ahead with planning for a smaller series of events.

Tito Ortiz still wants Forrest Griffin rubber match, Griffin thinks it's an easy fight for him
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
Tito Ortiz has been angling to finish out his career in a third fight with Forrest Griffin, and on Monday's edition of Inside MMA on HDNet, Ortiz once again called Griffin out for a fight.
"Forrest, you know I deserve it, man," Ortiz said. "Step up. Let's do this. It's an awesome fight for you. I lost my last one. You lost your last one. Let's do this – unless you're scared!"
Ortiz has lost more than just his "last one," and though Griffin is just 2-3 in his last five, he's in a higher position overall than Ortiz. Still, if it's what the UFC wants, it's a fight Griffin will take, and he sees it as an easy fight.
"He knows better than that," Griffin said. "You know what's funny about me and Tito? The truth is we each consider the other an easy fight. For me, that's the perfect 'get right' fight. Coming back from a bad loss and beating Tito Ortiz up? No problem.
"For Tito, he's thinking, 'Forrest ain't that good. He's getting old, prematurely. This is a great way to go out, with a win over Forrest!' So, I think it's a beautiful match up because we both think of the other as an easy fight."
Penick's Analysis: This fight is really only that interesting to Ortiz, and probably Ortiz alone. Griffin's willing to go along with it if the UFC wants to put it together, but in the light heavyweight division there are more fights to make for Griffin outside of an Ortiz rematch. Still, we'll see if there's a call for it at all, or if the UFC will put something else together for Ortiz's final fight sometime this summer.

TEAMS: Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels
The Rockies look like they are going to avoid 100 losses.There are only two teams in all of Major League Baseball that can say they haven't done it yet. The Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Angels are the two franchises who have never lost 100 games in a season.In July, it looked like the Angels would be the only franchise left after the 2012 season. The Rockies were miserable. They were long out of the race and it seemed a safe bet that not only would the Rockies eclipse the 100 loss mark, but that they could come close to 110.The Rockies were so painfully bad that local radio host Peter Burns started the "Road to 100" campaign. The thought was that fans should start to root for 100 losses because that would be the magic number for ownership to make the necessary changes in order to become a respectable franchise.In theory, it was a good thought. A miserable year in which the talent on the field didn't play up to their level, or the talent simply wasn't th...

Video: Lloyd Banks f/ Jeremih – 'I Don't Deserve You'
Lloyd Banks and Jeremih tone it down for the ladies in the video for "I Don't Deserve You," the latest single off the G-Unit rapper's third album H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2). In the clip, the gravel-voiced rapper cruises around New York City with his girl riding shotgun, while the falsetto crooner is pulled back and forth between two sexy sirens in the club. Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from 50 Cent.

Lieutenants in the Rapid City Police Department are getting a five percent raise.
Positions below Lieutenant are under union contract. Lieutenant and above are non union positions. Over the years the Sergeants' salary has increased and gotten close to the Lieutenants'.
Steve Allender, Rapid City Police Chief, said it was becoming a demotivating factor and something had to change.
"We have to stay competitive on wages or we see an inordinate amount of turnover in the department and within the city," said Allender.
A firm is looking at the pay scale for other non union positions in the Police Department, and that will be done next year.

This is the Knik (pronounced K-nik, say the "Cuh" sound) Glacier from my back window. It's about fifteen miles away, at the base of the Chugach rampart. That's it, right there in the middle. Cool, uh? (pun definitely intended)
In the summer, when the trees are fully leafed out, you can't see the glacier from the ground level of my house, you've got to go upstairs onto the second deck sunroom balcony to see it. In the winter though, you can see the whole icefield from the main floor. Today it's overcast and and gray out, but there was this one shaft of sunlight illuminating the ice. So, I decided to share it with you.
If you're a Google Earth person, you can get to the right place by starting Google Earth, then searching for the placemark: "191205 Op Knik Glacier"

I ordered two of these chairs for my front room on a Thursday and received them at my front doorstep at around 8:00 a.m. on the following Tuesday. They came in excellent condition and well packaged. My teenager assembled them with no problem whatsoever in only a few minutes. Assembly consisted of inserting the back of the chair into the base and screwing on the legs. They were exactly what I wanted, which was an upscale looking, classic chair that is not too bulky because I have limited space in that room. The arms are thin, which is what I wanted, yet the bottom cushion is thicker and comfortable. The cushion on the seat has velcro on the bottom so it stays secure. If you want a chair where you can flip the cushion, this is not that chair. The bottom side of the cushion is black fabric with velco on each end to keep it secure. The silver studs and the black legs look very upscale, as well as the tufting and the gray fabric. I love these chairs because I I wanted something that looked way more expensive than they were--these fit the ticket perfectly. The color is perfect as well for my purpose. I couldn't be happier...they are a great looking chairs for the price and quite comfortable.
I looked long and hard for a chair with these dimensions. I'm 5'3", and the top of the chair hits me just above my neck. The arms are at a comfortable level, and height is good. The depth of the seat if a little long, but I put a lumbar pillow and fits me perfectly. My 5'11" partner also finds it comfortable, but it doesn't support his head. The medium-dark grey linen fabric and shiny silver nail heads give this old fashioned style a refreshing new and masculine look. I've owned the chair for about 2 months, sit in it for prolonged periods and find it very comfortable. Assembly was a cinch, just pop in the back and screw in the lags. Since the chair is positioned in the middle of the room, I find the back to be somewhat disconcerting because it is not solid and the division of where the top meets the bottom is kind of awkward. It seems sturdy enough, but I doubt this will become a family heirloom. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase and like the chair a lot.
Nice little side chair. Seat and back are on the firm side, so it's not a chair you want to sink into and spend hours in. Rich charcoal grey, nice tufting and leg detail make this a sharp accent chair. Size is good for smaller spaces like a small apartment, bedroom or office.
We have a gray decor throughout a couple of rooms in our place. The problem with items listed as charcoal - there are tints. This item has a greenish tint to it. We viewed the pictures on different computer screens and none of them matched the item we received. If you don't have other gray pieces in your home and this is an accent piece - it its a solid deal for the price. The back of the chair slips into place, which was a bit surprising because there are no latches or anything that keeps it in besides gravity. We returned our item because of the color. If the color worked out better for our decor, we'd have kept the chair. The style is extremely interesting and works well with other pieces of furniture, as long as the colors match.
This chair is amazing. I would say "amazing for the price" but it is amazing for any price, even if it had cost more. This chair is a smaller scale chair, but not micro or tiny. It would only be small in comparison to huge, overstuffed furniture. I had a wing-back style chair in my living room for years that I am replacing with this Malone club chair - and the Malone club chair made my wing-back chair look very narrow and small in comparison when they were sitting side-by-side. In fact I was impressed by the size of this chair, considering other reviewers had noted it was on the "small side". I disagree. I think it is an average size chair. It's very sturdy, solid in construction and looks great in any decor. The neutral grey is true to the picture and works well with my other living room furniture, which is mostly tan and brown. This is the kind of chair that is perfect without all the frills of toss pillows and cloth throws. It stands out on it's own, with a beautiful button-tufted seat cushion, tufted back and shiny silver nailhead trim. And the chair is comfortable and roomy enough for anyone, in my view. My chair arrived well packaged and in perfect condition - no damage to any of the parts. I don't think I could be more pleased. I ordered one of the last 3 Malone club chairs available here on Overstock using some of my tax refund and now they are out of stock. I am so glad I got mine! Five stars!
Love my chairs! They are better in person, online does not do them justice
Absolutely beautiful arm chairs. Great accent to the room. Beautiful color. Great fast shipping.Thank you! : )
The chairs came quickly and they were very easy to put together. They are the exact color shown on the screen. They are moderately comfortable. I'd added a lumbar pillow to offset any firmness. Would say they are worth the price and look great.
Love this chair! Perfect for a guest room. Easy to put together and looks way more expensive than it costs.
We really like the chairs - they are a good size, not too bulky, and for the price - the material can't be beat. We have seen similar chairs in high-end catalogs for 3 times the price so we know we got a good deal. The color is nice, and there are a few loose threads that I snipped, but all in all they are great.

Prepare to become accustom to the eye of the creative mind storm that is Jet Moran Hailing from Garnett, Ks. Jet is becoming the most promising Hip Hop Artist to come out of this region. The first thing you will note from the second you hear the product of this self confessed 'Genius' is.......Quality! Fronted by his energetic, eccentric, multi-toned delivery .

The most noteable activity as of late,is signing with B.A.Y Boy Productions and the finishing of his newest mixtape "Mile High Club" eagerly awaiting release. It would appear the eye of the 'Mind Storm' that is Jet Moran is about to heavily intensify. An leave in its wake, an elustreous, broad and skill forged legacy in Hip Hop. On the mainstream, competitive level. Anywho why not swing by Jets. Myspace? www.myspace.com/jetmoran Listen to the intricate rhyme cadences' of the 1st track off his new mixtape. An if you find your head nodding hynotically...Thats when you know you've been drawn into the storm. It's J.E.T!
