You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Thank you for a wonderful product. Simple, elegant design with high quality paper. My friends and family loved our thank you cards and loved that I included a couple of photos."
"The cards are overall great. The paper quality is nice and I love that it has our names and the date we were married on the inside. We got our return address printed on the back of the envelope as well. The designer changed things on this to make it look more formal, which I appreciated it. My one qualm with these cards is the picture looks a bit blurry and matte. I'm not sure if this had to do with the quality of the picture I sent, but I do have to say I was a bit disappointed when I saw that. Otherwise, I'm very happy with these."
"I changed this invitation to a 40 th birthday invite it was just perfect.I am a bridal designer and I've recommended this company to my clients,there prompt service and excellent quality was amazing."
"I wanted to customize this product so it would look like the rest of our wedding stationary that we designed ourselves and the designer was super accommodating and very helpful. The whole process was super efficient and I would highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas even if the design isn't 100% what you were wanting. The only downside is the fact that you have to have their logo on the backside of the card. I wish you could pay more for the option to remove it."
"These will be perfect to let everyone that we love the most let them know just how thankful we are they spent our special day with us. I love that they have the design for these to match EXACTLY what our invitations look like. They'll be a wonderful reminder for a while of how beautiful everything for our wedding was! Absolutely love them!!"

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
For this one particular medium, The Other Wiki did a lot of studies on the Bowdlerisation subject. Now that's a lengthy article. It also needs to be pointed out that many of the anime edits�at least in North America�only apply to the television broadcast version of the shownote . The home video version of that same episode will usually be unedited (exceptions include the English-only versions of Zatch Bell! and Digimon, as well as the entirety of 4Kids's output).
open/close all folders
North America - 4 Kids
Pretty much all of the anime properties dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Pok�mon) have fallen victim to bowdlerization, often to the detriment of the series' quality as a whole.
North America - Others
Manga & Non-American TV
In general, the anime adaptations of manga are slightly Bowdlerized, cutting down on violence, rude gestures, etc., but not taking too much away from the main story. Of course, there are times when things are lost in the transition�

Review this tv show
Nov 15, 2013It is not the best show For one it is boring and 2 they have a lot of kissing not my favorite show.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jul 27, 2013Can't believe that this series has been cancelled. It was really getting somewher not like anything else. Other things drag on for seasons but this one, we got answers. NetFlix may take the show over but nothing is sure... a FB page called "Renew The Lying Game" has been made with over 4000 likes, thousands of people sending requests to Netflix, also Twitter accounts, blogs... Please Chuck Pratt Jr, if you are reading these reviews, consider making lots of teenagers and even adults happy again by giving them back their TV hour. PLEASE!!!… Expand
Jul 25, 2013So upset ABC Family cancelled! This show was the best on the network! To cancel it for the garbage that's replacing it is a joke! Bring back The Lying Game!!!
Feb 18, 2013Amazing. I started watching the first season yesterday and I'm addicted. The actress that plays both Sutton and Emma is amazing, as you can barely tell its the same person being two different girls. Of course you know, but I'm still impressed.
Jul 29, 2012Almost As Good As Pretty Little Liars!
A Really Good Show One Of The Best Of 2011!
Jul 28, 2012This show is a mix of suspense and romance, and the conflicts generated by the difference of egos between the two twin sisters takes viewers to enter in The Lying Game.
Nov 11, 2011I love this show. Its very entertaining & has lots of twists & turns to hold my attention. I can't wait until next season so I can see what happened to Sutton & see if Annie is finally reunited with Emma!!
Oct 14, 2011This show is full of suspense and romance. It has an interesting concept and the main character is very likeable. The acting is done well, and I love the way the show draws you into its reality.
Aug 24, 2011Not a bad little show. I expected to watch the first 10 minutes and laugh at it, but now I've seen the first two episodes and plan to see more. It hides the ball just enough, and throws in just the right number of 80s "Where Are They Now" stars to make it worth while.
Aug 20, 2011It was great ! loved it . I think The Lying Game did an amazing job ! i never imagined "The Pilot" would this awesome ! it totally beat PLL & The Nine Lives of Chloe King . Alexandra Chando Looked So Sexy and Beautiful ! So much looking forward to the next Ep ! GooD LucK
If the target audience can endure tortured dialogue like, "A lie's a lie, but if the reasons are reasonable, then maybe you can forgive the lie," then, truth be told, Lying might stay in the game for awhile.
The Lying Game is not great television by any means but it's an adequate teen soap filled with attractive performers playing characters much younger than their actual ages, something the target audience for this type of series has come to expect.

Interesting times for the EU, as well as the world economically. The problem this time around (as opposed to 2008) is that it's not just the multinational corporations that are failing, its the actual economies of the nations themselves. You'd think after watching these huge corporations go down the national economies would have restructured, or at least begun putting into place safeguards or new policy to avoid a financial collapse of their own. With Germany now basically holding the ropes of the entire EU, it doesn't seem, to me, that this will have the happy ending everyone is hoping for. Not without massive changes at least.
Click on this site for a picture of CG teaching you a lesson.
What is your feud with GC? He was hobnobbing with the grandees and walking point in enemy territory when you were still wetting yourself. Better listen.
Where is your report on 'Bobok'?
Let us never forget that it was mainly France that set up the "subsidiarity" dungheap in Brussels, and the Greeks merely took France as their template. The whole mess would not have been there but for French "intellect" and half-baked "grandes missions"
sure that's France, idiot, France exposition to Greece debr is more of private debt than of the national's ! In the contrary German banks bought more into Greece national debt, thus the actual dilemn, the Greece state is bankrupted.
"According to the new figures, a preliminary release of which went out in April, French banks have $56.7bn of lending exposure to Greece while German banks have about $40bn. But look closer, because the BIS figures have something new — a breakdown of credit exposure by type. On that basis, German banks are the most exposed to Greek government debt with $22.7bn held. French banks have $15bn."
"The French should pay for their mess. If I had my way Britain would have slammed the door long ago - it had ample warning that this was not the "trading bloc" that we thought we'd signed up to. These idiots made their bed to lie in, and we shouldn't be made to share it."
yeah, your remnent anti-french xenophoby, but the whole mess has its origin with your banksters.
Your are lonely true racist on this board !
when did the EU blame Slovakia? I dare you to present to me any evidence to this fact.
by the way the leader of the junior party in the coalition kinda made a mistake because Greece hasn't been allowed to tap funds from the EFSF yet.
Is being ANTI JEW the best you can do as well as being ANTI MUSLIM
Actually Vivazapata is right re. Slovakia. The EU has never foreseen these problems. You have the situation where Greece is the obvious guilty party but EU blames now Slovakia and for what, for being morally right?
"As far as I remember France was and is (still, presumably) primarily a land power, despite always having had a considerable secondary seagoing presence"
yet, it's why UK was eargerly trying to annex it in 1940 !
Hmmm we might have had a land power, but it was a DEFENSE land power, which never was programmed as a AGGRESSIVE power
Centro Europeu Jean Monnet, in Lisbon.
The EU needs to step up to the plate and save there economy. I should say save it without the help of China. Germany is not strong enough to put all of europes economy on its back. Big changes need to happen and fast because it is heading downhill quickly. Maybe a north euro south euro or maybe new laws with the banks. No matter what the change it needs to happen for Europes sake. Because otherwise we are all going to take a hit.
well one of the member parties of the coalition decided to abstain from the vote.
This was taken advantage of politically by the main opposition party.
What has this to do with the ratification or not of the expansion of the EFSF? Slovakia wasn't coherced to vote it, local national politics got in the way and to be honest it seems to me that the oppposition party, i.e. the socialists, were actually incredibly clever. In any case, Slovakia can always claim not to have sufficient means to contribute to the fund (any contributing member to the EFSF can do that).
What of the EFS-MMMM??? That one was a lot more un-democratic, and didn't see any of you complaining.
"While it is true that the Coal and Stell Union between Germany, Benelux and France had the noble approach of robbing each nation of the ability to hog the materials for making war"
such a association already existed through banks shareholdings since the league of Nations was created for controlling Saarland, hence the conclusion that the actual EU was a banksters design !
BTW, Jean Monnet was general secretary of the league and was at the head of such banks that collected war reparations through coal exploitation
a sulfurous site that explains what BIS became afterwords
I agreed with Mr Sulik's complaint wholeheartedly, and as you observe the whole authoritarian, subsidiarity string-pulling whip-hand of Brussels slapped down dissent. Why indeed should a more conscientious land support Greek etc. corruption.
Let us never forget that it was mainly France that set up the "subsidiarity" dungheap in Brussels, and the Greeks merely took France as their template. The whole mess would not have been there but for French "intellect" and half-baked "grandes missions".
The French should pay for their mess. If I had my way Britain would have slammed the door long ago - it had ample warning that this was not the "trading bloc" that we thought we'd signed up to. These idiots made their bed to lie in, and we shouldn't be made to share it.
Lord GC
I knew you are unable to refute anything in my post re. Balkans, is this best you can do? I guess so, you write usually about nothing and even that is plagiarism.
I reject your interpretation of the Slovakian vote. To paraphrase the minority leader, why should the second poorest nation in the EU subsidize a much richer nation, one with earlier retirements, that acted in a wholly irresponsible manner?
And there is no doubt that the full weight of EU authoritarianism swayed that vote.
Democracy? Of a sort. But is this the face the EU wants to show to the world? I doubt it.
Iraq is another case of 'what might have been', but that is a topic for the future. For now, we face a situation that threatens to fly apart at the least mistake, with Obama unwisely threatening to reduce US troop levels beyond what any generals recommend.
Of course the Iraqi government makes anti-US noises for internal consumption, but they know that Sunni-Shiite conflict, exacerbated by Iranian interference, will tear them apart if the US doesn't remain actively involved.
We need hardly mention Israel, the Kurds and all the other ingredients of the witches' brew. I cannot imagine a solution. But I also cannot imagine a premature US withdrawal. We must remain firm and all responsible parties know it.
We can to some extent redeem our blunder (if history decrees it such) by averting the collapse of Iraq in a civil war, renewed religious strife and Iranian domination.
The situation in Slovakia looks more like a very clever move by the opposition. Not only did they manage to bring down the government, as even if they lose the next elections, several of their dearest measures were forth down the ruling party's throat.
It's a clear example of how democracies actually work. Through political backstabbing .
My reply to Junior's of Oct 13th 2011 8:39 GMT seems to have disappeared, but I think you may have answered it, Junior.
re - "You (M-C) said that "France's position is not continental oriented but oceanic oriented".
Junior - "Well that's true, of course, but I'm afraid it's Joe ...etc. "
I wondered how you maintained that France is (or was) primarily an "oceanic power" referring to defence. As far as I remember France was and is (still, presumably) primarily a land power, despite always having had a considerable secondary seagoing presence.

The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War is charged with caring for the graves of Civil Wars veterans, and the local chapter wants to do just that by donating a flagpole to Oak Hill Cemetery.
The cemetery at 114th Street and Capitol Drive is home to two Civil War veterans: Private Johann Bahler of Company I, Wisconsin Infantry, and Levi Halsted, surgeon with the 7th Wisconsin Light Artillery. Halsted also is known as the Wauwatosa pioneer who built the Little Red Store in 1854, the community's first railroad station and post office.
For the past 15 years, the Col. C.K. Pier Badger Camp One and Auxiliary have helped maintain Oak Hill Cemetery, group chaplain Deacon Dean Collins explained in a letter to the city. With the help of Boy Scout Troop 61 from Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Parish in Milwaukee, the group has trimmed hedges, pulled weeds, planted flowers, picked up garbage and remounted fallen gravestones. The cemetery has been the site of five Eagle Scout projects, including one that erected the wooden fence that surrounds the property.
Prior to work sessions, the groups raise a flag and say the Pledge of Allegiance - and each time, they use a makeshift flagpole fashioned from plumbing pipes.
After fundraising, the groups want to donate the nearly $1,800 it will cost to buy and install an aluminum flagpole to Wauwatosa.

Though my girl only wore them around the house to play dress up, her feet are not strangers to an arch. While shopping for dress shoes at Nordstrom, there were several wedge and tiny kitten-heel styles available in her size! Even my son has managed to tear down our hall in a pair of pumps he found in my closet. Sure, some parents encourage their tots to wear fabulous footwear starting with sassy crib heels, but most kiddos are just drawn to trying on (and wobbling around) in their mama's shoes.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Spawn of Galaxy Alpha and a Note 3 unveiled
does the S-pen become indispensable, or does it remain a merely 'nice-to-have' feature?
I guess that depends entirely on the user. I use mine occasionally rather than regularly, so I guess I fall into the latter category, but I do use it and when I do I'm glad it's there.
Re: Support From Larger MicroSD cards
And I have 128GB in my Note 3
VINYL is BACK and you can thank Sonos for that
Re: Vinyl introduces a lot of failings
Vinyl has one MASSIVE advantage - it is a direct measurement of the sound being reproduced.
It's an approximation, an analogue copy representing an electrical signal in the limited resolution of a piece of plastic. That's why it has limited dynamic range, roughly equivalent to 12-13 bit digital and various forms of harmonic distortion appear both above and below the frequencies being reproduced.
A photocopy is an analogue copy - look at a fourth or fifth generation photocopy, or listen to a tape to tape to tape to tape copy, then consider the record manufacturing process of analogue copies of master tapes -> disc master -> father copy -> mother copy -> stampers -> vinyl. At each stage there will inevitably be some deterioration in the reproduction, albeit much less than the two examples given here. That's what happens in the analogue world as you progress from one generation to the next.
Vinyl may offer "a direct measurement of the sound being reproduced" but it's a flawed one, and what is digital audio if not a "measurement of the sound being reproduced"?
Nexus 9: Google and HTC deliver Android 5.0 'Lollipop' at iPad prices
I run a record company. One of our longest releases in its 24-bit FLAC version (a Wagner opera) takes up 2.6GB. So if I want to carry much of this kind of thing around with me I do need a lot of space, hence the big MicroSD.
Depends on how you use it. My Note 3 phone (32GB) has a 128GB MicroSD card in it that I bought when I'd filled the original 64GB card. I certainly wouldn't by a tablet without a card slot.
This is why we CAN have nice things: Samsung Galaxy Alpha
Re: Metal/Glass phones
Get a Samsung S-View cover. Replaces the back with a leather-type cover that opens like a book (turning the screen on as it does), looks smart, and protects the phone. I don't particularly care for the plastic backs on Samsung phones, but I've not used one since I got mine. Brilliant idea!
Re: Really in the post KitKat World.... (Or the shape of things to come?)
Whats's that Movies and Music? Isn't this what the Cloud was made for? I for One love XBMC (Movies), and Google Music... For umm Music streaming.
You're assuming the cloud is everywhere and permanently available. It may be to you but it certainly isn't out here in the sticks where I live in rural France. Or when I'm on a plane. Or if I visit another country and don't want horrendous roaming costs. That's why I stuck a 128GB SD RAM card into my Note 3 and filled it with good music. Google Music is fine for what it is, but it's not comprehensive WRT my musical tastes and sometimes you can find yourself wrestling with it to get it to play what you want. Movies on a phone screen? Not at my age with my eyesight, even on a Note 3! But music, absolutely, yes.
No way would I buy a phone without a memory slot. The more the merrier.

Amazon smacks back at Hachette in e-book pricing battle: We're doing it for the readers
Re: What is Hachette contributing?
>And what exactly is Amazon contributing for its 30%??? Nothing to assist in the creative (or marketing) process, I suspect...
A vast global market for the product, coupled with delivery infrastructure, reading software and products, and a retailing environment that works brilliantly well.
Of course there's no reason why Hachette (and others) couldn't do the same thing, but having just visited their website I saw nothing to suggest I could buy a book from them directly, electronically or otherwise. Why is this?

Re: A fool and his money are easily parted.
Brilliant! Even better than the €500 audiophile USB cables I was told about recently...
The frequency response of the multitrack tapes on which Neil Young's early recordings would have been made wouldn't be much different to that of a CD, whilst the dynamic range would be considerably lower. The masters likewise. As the author says, there's unlikely to be anything much of musical value above 20kHz on the masters, even if anyone could actually hear it.
I my experience of checking out high quality modern digital 96Khz and 192kHz classical recordings from the likes of Linn, what you're mainly getting is silence and the upper harmonics of electronic interference. Musically speaking only the occasional cymbal (and very little else) does much beyond about 22kHz.
Vinyl-fetish hipsters might just have a point
Re: Zero compression
>I understand you can get even better results dubbing digital-to-analog on a high-end quarter-inch open-reel deck.
I have a couple of high end Studer open-reel tape machines. If I wasted my time copying digital recordings onto tape I could enjoy added tape hiss. Mmmm
Re: "Side A plays from the inside out"
Records that played from the inside out were common in broadcasting before tape. But yes, you need a non-automatic turntable to play them.
Re: There's a kind of inverted bell curve to vinyl...
When the first vinyl records were released they were heavy so as to seem familiar to the shellac discs they replaced. The thickness of the vinyl has no real bearing on sound quality - there are a hundred and one other ways in which this was and is compromised as a master tape makes its way to a vinyl master. Cramming more and more onto a side is the biggest culprit here.
But the modern fetish for 45rpm heavy virgin vinyl is more about extracting cash from mugs. I've heard significantly better sound quality from regular mint 80s pressings than from the modern allegedly audiophile equivalent. And both are beaten hands down in just about every way (apart from added distortion, rumble, wow and flutter, dynamic range limitation etc.) by any halfway competent digital reproduction.
Re: Compression can be good.
Decca started issuing FFRR recordings in 1945 and LPs in 1950, so your albums aren't "early". In fact most Decca vinyl pressings in the early days were pretty grim and sounded much better in their Ace Of Clubs budget reissues at the end of the 50s and thereafter.
Personally, given the choice between mint 50s vinyl and mint 70s or 80s vinyl of the same recording I'd go for the 80s unless there was a very good reason not to.
(This all refers to classical music releases, BTW)
Re: @M Gale
I have a Rega Planar 78 (based on the Planar 2) which runs at one speed and one speed only: 78rpm. But it's also set up with 78rpm stylii which are designed to fit shellace grooves that are around 4 times wider than vinyl microgrooves, and would sound pretty grim on this release - if any of the narrower ones could actually track the groove.
I suspect the reason, beyond total gimmick, for the higher speeds "under the label" is due to huge treble drop-off at the centre thanks to the much reduced linear velocity of the grooves that close to the hole. Given the way regular LPs suffer end-of-side distortion, those faster centre grooves must sound abysmal. I'm guessing they're not expecting many people to actually bother setting systems up to play them.
One final thing that demands correction: a completely mint shellac 78 is very shiny. When I see a 78 with a matte finish I give it a very wide berth as it's clearly completely shagged from being played to death, usually with a very heavy steel needle.

Try Qobuz.com - they sell non-lossy downloads in a multitude of formats (compressed and uncompressed, CD quality and higher) and have a streaming service that lets you choose between 320kbps MP3 and CD-quality FLAC. They've been around here in France for a while - they launched in the UK last December, apparently.

Re: Note to Note 3, no thanks!
> I ran into the "Insufficient Storage available" error once too often for my liking.
Not a problem any more - the Note 3 treats all the phone's internal memory as one, rather than dividing it between Phone and Internal SD RAM. The old phone needed a lot of manual relocation of apps into SD RAM if you were a prolific installer - this no longer applies. My apps go straight into the full 32GB of available space, and I keep my data on an external 64GB card. All runs very smoothly

Stylus settings have improved significantly since the Note 1...
Couple of things I found buried in the Note 3
Not mentioned in this review but useful to me: it has ANT+ connectivity, which turns out to be very useful for gadget-minded cyclists - the self-same folk who'll also appreciate a setting buried deep in the set-up menus that allows you to increase screen sensitivity so you can use it whilst wearing gloves. These two things alone, coupled with the brighter screen, have been put to good use when I'm out and about with the phone, which in my case is an upgrade from the Note 1.
As for the size of the thing, as a grown man I've yet to find the trouser pocket too small for a Note. And when you get to my age, the screen size really helps you to read the damn thing!

Re: Solution looking for problem
That'll be the psychoacoutsically-shaped dither noise that lowers the effective noise floor (to human ears) of 16-bit recordings to something closer to 19-20 bits then? It's put there for a reason, and you almost certainly can't hear it, any more than you can tell a well-prepared 16-bit recording from the 24-bit master it originated from in just about any studio listening test you care to try.
There's a huge amount of bollocks talked around sample rates and bit depths and it's increasingly a meaningless numbers game. You can read some of that in this thread, alas.
HQ audio: the demand is there - but the format is all wrong here
We sell 320kbps MP3, 16-bit FLAC and 24-bit FLAC downloads. The music is generally classical (there's a little jazz and blues too) and the recordings are all over 50 years old. FLAC has for a long time been the favoured format for our download customers, with very few opting for MP3 when they have the choice. (If I had a pound for every Mac user struggling to play FLACs in iTunes and e-mailing me about it... but that's another story.)
24-bit downloads have definitely seen strong growth - people are either getting high quality DACs on their computers or burning them to DVD-R for their Oppo "plays-everything-you-can-throw-at-it" decks. But they don't need another new disc-based format, and CD sales continue to fall.
IMO the major record companies need to wake up and smell the coffee: lossless downloads at higher resolutions (even if just about none of their customers can hear a difference) could be the 80s CD boom all over again and make them a fortune. But sticking the likes of the first Velvets album - one of the worst-recorded classic albums of the 1960s - on yet another new high-resolution format just shows how disconnected from the real world the suits at Universal are.

Tracking the history of magnetic tape: A game of noughts and crosses
Re: 1996 data storage on video cassette
More commonly PCM digital recordings were made using Beta rather than VHS (better picture quality = greater reliability), with different PCM units built for PAL and NTSC systems. (I believe 44.1kHz was chosen as the sampling rate for CDs as it divided equally well for use on both 50Hz and 60Hz systems, just as 78rpm or thereabouts was judged a suitable compromise for records decades earlier).
If you view one of these tapes what you see is a series of bar-code-like stripes on the screen across a number of columns. Digital data, stored visually in the analogue domain. You've got to love it!
Decks and plugs and rock and roll: Tascam CD-A750 cassette and CD combo
Re: Interviews
Hard to edit, aren't they! Especially when recorded on both sides...
Re: Aye, them days is gone...
Certainly potential sound quality was better from cassette than it was from the awful cartridges we used to use for jingles and so on - but they could be cued up and were designed for broadcasting, unlike the cassette. Horses for courses - the jingles had ended up largely on MiniDisc by the late 90s; quicker to cue and much better sound quality, but lacking the quick-fire one-jingle-in-a-big-plastic-box appeal of the cart. Steve Wright (in the Afternoon) was a brilliant cart operator!
CD data discs, such as those with MP3s on them.
Re: Aye, them days is gone...
Studer A710 cassette decks were the standard BBC installation for radio studios, certainly in the main London broadcast centres in the 90s. Studer and Telefunken reel to reel machines were found in studios, but not Revox - these were the "domestic" products (most commonly the PR-99) that radio producers got to play with in their offices, alongside domestic hi-fi equipment (from the usual suspects).
Personally I prefer the sound of my Nakamichi DR-2 to anything I ever heard from the Studer decks, but they were reliable workhorses, required to make two copies of everything we broadcast for legal back-up and archiving, so the decks in the main studios in Broadcasting House certainly put in a lot of hours.

Re: SONY Elcassette
I've ended up with an Elcasette recorder that used to be Mike Oldfield's portable recorder of choice. It has a single tape marked "Sea Shanties" which still plays. Can't say I've ever tried recording with it, but it's a nice thing to have in the "museum" of odd formats I've built up: alongside the Nakamichi, the DCC, the 1974 Pioneer quadrophonic 8-track cartridge player/recorder, the Tascam 8-track cassette multitrack, various Studer, Revox and Ampex monsters, an open-reel dictation machine that once belonged to Hammond Innes... - all designed to use the miracle format that is rust-on-plastic...
Samsung Galaxy Note 8: Proof the pen is mightier?
Undocumented feature?
I got a Note 8 last week (I've been using a Note 1 phone for about 18 months) and bought a leather cover/stand thingy from Amazon to go with it.
Very nice and all that, but when I close the cover the Note 8 switches itself off automatically (well, screen off, you know what I mean), and when I open the cover it switches itself back on. The cover doesn't touch the on/off button, and I can't replicate the behaviour with pieces of paper/card held over the screen and/or front-facing sensors.
I don't know how it's sensing it, but it's useful, and I've not seen it referred to in any of the reviews I've read so far.

British bookworms deem Amazon 'evil'
Re: What sort of cretin buys a Amazon Swindle anyway?
"I tend to buy and read fiction. I can count on one hand the number of books I've ever wished to read more than once. I have metres of shelves full of books I've read and will never open again."
Then why on earth aren't you using the library? If you only want to read something once, then check it out, read it, and return it. That's exactly what I do with books I don't suspect I'll want to reread.
Simple: because I live in France and prefer to read English books. These are not generally stocked in our local libraries.
For anyone living in another country where their first language isn't generally spoken the coming of the Kindle (and its like) is manna from heaven. You used to find us at airports scanning the meagre selection of overpriced English paperbacks on the small sections of shelves dedicated to foreign-language books, or carrying suitcase-loads of books back from Blighty. Not any more. Thank you, Amazon - have a drink on me.
Re: What sort of cretin buys a Amazon Swindle anyway?
"Nope, when all the books they buy from amazon automagically disappear from the device."
I tend to buy and read fiction. I can count on one hand the number of books I've ever wished to read more than once. I have metres of shelves full of books I've read and will never open again. AFAIR there's only ever been once instance of Amazon removing a book from Kindles remotely, and I've already read that one. I really wouldn't care as long as I wasn't in the middle of it when I was reading it.
This is where books are, for many people, not like music. You don't read the same one over and over and over again like you'd listen to a favourite album a thousand times. (I'm the same with movies - rarely do I ever wish to watch something twice.) Yet all too often they seem to get get lumped together as "digital files" as if people with therefore have the same relationship with them. I don't. Once I've read a book on my Kindle Amazon is welcome to take it back.
Vinyl sales reach 15 year high, Blighty becomes No. 3 music buyer
Re: Face it, vinyl sucks
joeW - Vinyl has a greater dynamic range than CD-format digital recordings...
Don't fall for this nonsense! Vinyl has a dynamic range at its very best of somewhere around 65-70dB, though it's rarely achieved outside of the most expensive audiophile pressings (and to be honest some of these are very ropey, especially given their ridiculous prices).
On the other hand every bog standard 16-bit CD has a dynamic range of 93dB. Though whether music producers choose to use that dynamic range is a different matter...
Re: So
The charts were always only ever based on a snapshot of sales at a selection of record shops around the country. They were never an absolutely accurate representation of precisely how many records were sold, merely an extrapolation of sample data.

Meanwhile I get hit for data roaming charges in Spain, and my Spanish is poor, so I know this is going to come in very handy...

Set the table ahead of time with tiny individual sombreros filled with red, green and white M&M's representing the colors in the Mexican flag.
Party Eats
If your party takes place in the winter, serve hot chocolate spiced with cinnamon. In the summer have drinks available "ice cold" in one of our sombreros.
The sombrero can do double duty as a prop when you teach your guests "The Mexican Hat Dance." The last song on Drews Latin Fiesta Music is the Mexican Hat Dance. Crank it up!
Younger children simply clap and move around the hat while older children and adults can be more creative as they dance around the hat.
A pinata is a must at a Mexican Fiesta. In true Mexican style, keep the pinata moving by moving the rope that the pinata hangs from. The pinata is harder to break this way, and it keeps everyone laughing!

Wasps confirm Du Plessis signing
ESPNscrum Staff
December 23, 2011
Tinus Du Plessis has won 29 caps for Namibia © Getty Images
Wasps have confirmed the signing of Namibia flanker Tinus Du Plessis until the end of the season.
Wasps have suffered a succession of injuries in their back-row this season with John Hart recently joining Jonathan Poff, Tom Rees, Joe Launchbury and Billy Vunipola on the sidelines while injury forced Dan Ward-Smith and Joe Worsley into premature retirements.
Du Plessis played in all four of Namibia's World Cup campaign and was given the man-of-the-match award against Wales. The 27-year-old can cover all the back-row positions and has experience of English rugby having played for Rotherham.
London Wasps director of rugby Dai Young said: "Everyone knows we have struggled for strength in depth in the back-row, with retirements and injuries making it very tough for us there. I was very impressed with Tinus at the World Cup and he brings the added bonus of versatility in a few positions so we will be a welcome addition for the rest of the season."
Du Plessis added: "I am delighted to be joining Wasps. It's been a dream of mine to play in the Premiership and to have joined a club with Wasps' rich history both domestically and on a European front makes it so much the better. I'm really looking forward in joining up with the boys and hopefully being able to contribute to their goals."

Score from 2850 reviews Very good
I had a room on the 6th floor overlooking the river, it was quiet, clean and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and the quality of the food in the restaurant was excellent. I went to Madrid to watch the Atletico Madrid v Malaga game, the hotel was only 300 metres from the stadium and in an ideal location.
- very friendly staff - free wifi - very clean and large room - bus and taxi stop in front of hotel - close to vincente calderon stadium and directly at Manazares riverpark - walk to Sol is do-able
-gym: equipment is very good. However, access to gym should be placed on keycard instead for to ask a key at reception - restaurant: food portions are very small for the price you pay. I have stayed here before and the portions used to be bigger
Cleaning staff and breakfast buffet were awesome.
Reception staff not very friendly to foreigners. Issues with the shower the water would suddenly go very hot and burn, staff knew about it but could not get it fixed. Very poor wifi service which kept going out.
Except for the internet access, the hotel is very confortable.
Wifi Internet access unstable and very slow. Paid internet at business center aliso slow, whatsapp makes you spend a lot of money for doing minor jobs, like web check-in. I do not recommend this hotel for people depending on internet access during the stay.
Position is in quiet area, not far from the center. All you need from a comfortable hotel, you'll find
Wifi doesn't work, and that isn't good in business hotel. At breakfast (in general very good), you'll find vey little of Spanish specialties.
Cafe / bar / restaurant closed at 11:00 pm.
I absolutely LOVE this hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! The facility is clean and luxurious!
We enjoyed the hotel, the breakfast and all what was related to the services provided. It was OK for the weekend spent there. There was nothing really that we didn't like but we consider that it was a bit far from the Metro station. The closest one it was 17 min walking.
The Metro station a bit far - 17 min walking.
Unacceptable wifi offering in the hotel. These days wifi is as important as the bed for a business customer - they need to sort this out as it has been getting worse at the hotel over past 6 months.
Room was big, very comfortable bed, bathroom was clean. Beautiful view of the river
Hotel is 10 min walking from the closest metro station
Good location for those who go to Viciente Calderon Stadium, good breakfast
When came from One Direction , bar was closed
Great position for the Vicente Calderon stadium staff excellent as is the breakfast at NH hotels fresh and great juices!
Expensive due to One Direction concert and position.
Beautiful hotel, staff very helpful. Location a little out the way, but the city easily accessible by public transport. The hotel was very clean and a high standard of decor. Would definitely return if we visit madrid again.
Nothing at all we didn't like. Just lovely :-)
The food,very welcoming staff and general wonderful facilities
The WI-FI was not good.I could not rely on it.
The rooms and service
Wifi and location
Nice hotel, spacious and clean room. OK for business trips.
The hotel is located more or less in a deserted neighbourhood.
Good location, rooms clean and nice.
Staff and facilities were excellent and very clean and confortable.
Noisy guests coming down the corridoor late at night, but this hardly the fault of the hotel
The hotel has a good breakfast, good soundproofed rooms, good daily room cleaning.
Unprofessional staff working at the reception - service very slowly, they can get nasty and even shout at tourists.
Wireless worked if you're lucky Hot water was a little bit of a gamble
location confortable bedroom and bathroom nice view
Went to the Athletico Madrid v. Chelsea game. So excellent location right near the stadium. Also bus stop outside will take you into the City centre 15/20 mins. for just €1:50. Get a room at the front of the hotel overlooking the river.
Nothing. All good!
We went to a football match and the location of the hotel was excellent for the stadium
Location as I went to Athelico Madrid match
The bedroom walls were thing and could hear snoring from one side and adult stuff From other side
The location and value for money. The hotel is right in front of the river in a peaceful area with plenty of parks, trees and sports facilities which is great for families. Still, it is a short drive from the historic city center where all the action happens so one has the best ofboth worlds. The price-quality relationship is excellent and the building is fairly new.
Sound isolation is poor so if you, like me, have a light sleep you'd better bring your ear-plugs. There was an issue where we were placed in a room directly above the mezzanine floor where a party was going on and we couldn't sleep. Although in the end we were moved to another room, this was quite frustrating. Staff's handling of the situation and their proposal for a make-up were very good though.

|Winter weather stress
In the winter, your body is under added stress because of cold weather. The cold puts greater metabolic demands on your body than warmer temperatures. Sometimes you feel sluggish from inactivity, so its doubly important to exercise during cold winter months as a way to keep fit, regain energy, sweat a little, and detoxify.

Drupal core announcements: This Month in Drupal Documentation
Here's an update from the Documentation Working Group (DocWG) on what has been happening in Drupal Documentation in the last month or so. Sorry... because this is posted in the Core group as well as Documentation, comments are disabled.
If you have comments or suggestions, please see the DocWG home page for how to contact us. Thanks!Thanks for contributing!
Since July 1st (our previous TMIDD post), 260 contributors have made 800 total Drupal.org documentation page revisions, including 5 people that made more than 20 edits (gisle, lolandese, YesCT, adellefrank, and mparker17) -- thanks everyone!
In addition, there were many many commits to Drupal Core and contributed projects that improved documentation -- these are hard to count, because many commits combine code and documentation -- but they are greatly appreciated too!Documentation Priorities
The Current documentation priorities page is always a good place to look to figure out what to work on, and has been updated recently.
If you're new to contributing to documentation, these projects may seem a bit overwhelming -- so why not try out a New contributor task to get started?Upcoming Events
- https://groups.drupal.org/node/434038 - Drupal Sprint Weekend London - 16-17 August 2014

Janez Urevc: Drupal 8 from my media perspective - update #1
Media team is very active. Purpose of this post is to provide the progress update to the rest of the community that might not be aware of everything that is going on in this field. I am planning to publish this posts on a regular basis. We'll see how it goes :).Media sprint in Zurich
We had a very productive sprint about a week ago in Zurich were we've worked on various core and contrib issues (see below of details). Sprint was organized by MD-Systems. They did their best to bring everyone togehter and made sure that we felt comfortable and welocome. Thank you so much (special thanks go to @miro_dieteker and @Berdir)!Core
In Zurich @blueminds fixed [#2078473] Use entity access API for checking access to private files.
We are currently focusing on few issues:
Acquia: Don't wait, update your codebase now!
TL;DR: a security update for Drupal 7 and Drupal 6 was just released. All sites are affected and sites that are not updated immediately may experience Denial of Service (DoS) attacks leading to unexpected downtime.
Update: This vulnerability was covered on Mashable and one of the reporters published a detailed full disclosure of the vulnerability.
agoradesign: Beware of evil pathauto patterns!
Recently, a very mysterious problem has cost us quite a lot of time and some headache too. Before I explain, what happened, I want to mention, that it happened on a Drupal 7 Site on a MS SQL Server database. According to an issue on drupal.org, that I will mention later, it may also occur with PostegreSQL, but most likely not with MySQL. But I also have a general advice regarding pathauto patterns and best practices.

Forum One: NVDA Screen Readers and Invisible Elements
Here's an interesting bug…
It is a pretty common practice to hide from view text that is meant for visually impaired users to read via a screen reader. In Drupal, required fields will get a value that is hidden in this way via CSS in the field's label elements. By default, this text reads "This field is required" however the text is translated, so it may vary depending on the language of the page. Visually, this text is hidden; sighted users will still see a red star character next to these fields, but it is only meant as a cue for users utilizing screen readers.
A common method of hiding these 'Cur' elements is to set the element's width and height to 1px and use the the clip property. This method can be seen in this blog post and is briefly hit upon in this WebAIM article.
.element-invisible {
position: absolute !important;
height: 1px;
width: 1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px); /* IE6, IE7 */
clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
}The Problem
I've come across an issue that can hamper accessibility. Users employing the NVDA Screen Reader with Firefox and using the screen reader viewer will see elements styled like this with the spaces removed, e.g., "Thisfieldisrequired." This does not appear to be an issue in Chrome, and I have not tested in other browsers. The screen reader view renders as:
It seems that this spacing is caused by how Firefox is interpreting the width property. Using a larger width here seems to resolve the issue, and a good threshold for this seems to be 9px. I tried it with 8, but oddly, that width leaves some words still missing spaces while correcting others. This may cause some layout issues, however. (I spend more of my time in back-end development, so I am not a CSS expert by any means.) Here is the result of changing the element's width to 9px:
Thus, it seems changing the pixel size of these invisible elements could be one small step towards improving accessibility of this screen reader in Firefox.
Acquia: Drupal 8's new theming layer – Joël Pittet and Scott Reeves
Drupal 8 theming layer co-maintainers Joël Pittet and Scott Reeves sat down with me at NYC Camp 2014 at United Nations Headquarters in New York City to talk about how Twig and the new theming layer in Drupal 8 empowers front- and back-end developers, convergence and contribution in PHP, and more.
Amazee Labs: How to write Sass within Chromes DevTools using Workspaces and Auto-reload
There is this feature in Chromes' DevTools that allows you to directly edit your local Sass files without ever leaving your beloved browser. Even better, it will refresh your CSS files as soon as Compass has compiled them for you (kinda like Guard!). And to go even further, it will show you where the CSS definitions really come from (the original Sass files), instead of that generated gibberish.Intro
So to start, you'll obviously have to be working with Sass/Compass for this to work (pardon the pun!). I won't go into detail on how to install these lovely things as this could take up an entire post itself. So if you know how to install Sass/Compass on your machine or have a handy co-worker you can annoy (preferably a sys-monkey admin) you're good to go.
With Sass and Compass there are as always issues if you're not working with certain specific versions. The most reliable combination that worked for me was this one:
- Susy 1.0.9
- Ruby 1.9.3
- Sass 3.3.0.alpha.134 (i suppose Sass 3.3.x will work fine too)
- Compass 0.12.4.sourcemaps
For Compass you need an entirely different version from the one that you probably have, its called "compass-sourcemap".
In order to get that juicy source map action you'll have to open up your shell and type in the following:sudo gem install compass-sourcemaps --pre
This will install a compass version with source map, in the future source map will (hopefully) be included in the regular compass versions.
So what is compass-sourcemap exactly you ask? Well first of it's super fantastic, even if you don't want to have all the workspace/auto-reload mayhem you should take a look at it.
For example, on a casual day while you're working with that sassy generated CSS, the inspector can't really tell you where the real definitions are coming from. It only shows you the line within the generated CSS file. This is where source maps comes in, it generates an additional .map file for every .css file and tells your browser where the CSS definition is coming from. There are 4 things you'll have to do after you've installed all the necessary tools:
- Enable "CSS source maps" in the General Chrome DevTools Settings under "Sources"
- Enable it in your config.rb file, just add the following line (make sure its not already there)
- sass_options = {:sourcemap => true}
- In the shell, run your compass just like you always have
- compass watch
- Enjoy it!
Disable the "Aggregate and Compress CSS files." option in your Drupal 7 Installation in "YOURSITE/admin/config/development/performance".
Next up: download and enable this small module: https://github.com/AmazeeLabs/cache_buster
This will remove that pesky query behind your .css files, normally this would be a bad thing and you should never use this on a production site. However, for Chrome to properly track your local files it needs to have a permanent link to them, in other words a path that doesn't change. I got the code from an issue queue (i think…) on drupal.org but i can't remember which one, I simply put it inside a module for easy handling. So credits go to the unknown contributor, thank you very much (and sorry)!
After:Prepare your Chrome
Go back to your general DevTools settings and enable "Auto-reload generated CSS", its right below the source maps option:
After that open up your local project with Chrome and navigate to "Sources" in DevTools. You should see something that looks a little like this:
What you're gonna do next is adding your local site as a workspace inside Chrome, this will remain in there until you manually remove it. I like to take the entire theme folder; you could also add the entire site, that's all up to you. If you've picked the folder you want, right click and pick "Add folder to workspace". Navigate to the exact same folder on your local machine and select it.
At this point Chrome will ask you for writing permissions, just oblige and never think of it again. I mean it's Google; what could possibly go wrong, amiright?
You should now see a new folder at the bottom of the sources tab inside your DevTools, it's named after the folder you've just picked. Navigate to where the main .css file is (or any other .scss file), right click and select "Map to Network Resource"
Chrome will now bring up a selection of files from your site, match it to your local file.
And finally Chrome will ask you if it's okay to reload DevTools; you are totally fine with that so pick "ok" - and you're done!
You can open any .scss files from your workspace or use the inspector to directly open a file and make all the changes you want. You can save using your standard cmd+s and even open files using cmd+o. Everything will be saved just as if it was done within a proper IDE, except its Chrome!But there's one more thing
If you right-click on any of your .scss files you can select "Local Modifications"; this will bring up a general "History" of all your changes and you can even revert them!
KYbest: Exporting image field defaults in D7
We all love image fields' defaults: it's so easy to have a hero image for a product or a colleague's profile even when the editor does not provide one, with all the niceties such as displaying it with various image styles in a list, in the teaser or on the actual page. We all love Features module as it allows us to export Drupal 7 content types with all its settings.

If the house construction is lath and plaster (with no metal mesh), you may be able to use a stud finder with metal scan capabilities or a dedicated metal finder.

Doug and Telisha Williams at Emerson House April 14
Staff Report
Charlotte's Web is proud to host Doug and Telisha Williams in a show that truly captures the tenor of these tough economic times. They'll perform at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, April 14, at Emerson House, 420 N. Main St.
These two come from Martinsville, Va., where boarded-up factories show how fast the world can change.
"Seems like everybody we know is living what you read about in the papers," says Doug. "The unemployment is 20.2 percent, and we're all feeling a little desperate and pushed against the wall. This record couldn't help but echo what we're seeing and hearing."
From the region of the Blue Ridge Mountains comes their new record, Ghost of the Knoxville Girl. Like the best singer-songwriters, this duo gives a voice to the struggles of everyday people, as well as ghosts of the past.
Like the ghost in the title track, the characters in the collection of songs are resilient spirits who face their troubles straight on, never looking away. Telisha's voice rises from way down deep and delivers the honest truth with a frank clearness that never wavers and emotion that is genuine. Having written and played together since their teen-age years, Doug's guitar and harmonies follow suit, giving soul to heart.
It's been more than three years, hundreds of shows, and thousands of miles since Doug and Telisha released their last record, Rope Around My Heart. Since then, they've traveled from Florida to Oregon and Michigan to Texas, played with some of their most beloved heroes — Lucinda Williams, Darrell Scott, Charlie Louvin and Joe Ely — and they've been on stage at Anderson Fair, The Birchmere, The Carolina Theater, Godfrey Daniels, Madison Square Park and Floydfest.
Wherever Doug and Telisha go, they always make quick friends with their audiences, pulling them right into their lives. But no matter how far they roam, they always find their way back home — a place that holds tight to the intricacies and contradictions of life in the South today. A place where old-time religion, superstition, rundown bars, gravel parking lots and boarded-up factories tell stories that wind up being songs.

I just bought my first brand new car from Angel Rincon and it was a fantastic experience. I don't live close to the dealership and my car konked out so most of it happened on the phone. I did call around to other dealerships; Angel gave me the best price and was extremely responsive, friendly, and nice. When I arrived to buy the car, I was out of there in no time. The car was detailed and ready to drive off by the time I arrived. While Angel laid out all the extra service/warranty options for me, he didn't repeat them over and over and was SO un-pushy about anything. I got a great finance rate and it was a pleasurable experience! And now I have a brand new fuel efficient car!!
