Brittany Murphy's father Angelo Bertolotti appeared on Tuesday's "Good Morning America," where he explained his suspicions that his daughter was poisoned and murdered.
"I have a feeling there was definitely a murder situation here," says Bertolotti, who fought for years to have new lab testing done on his daughter's blood, hair and tissue after authorities ruledher 2009 death the result of "natural causes" linked to pneumonia and anemia.
He adds, "It's poison, yes, yes, I know that."
Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, mysteriously died five months after she did, adding to her family's suspicions of foul play.

Wednesday Trivia: The Most Instagrammed Places in the World
Instagram has taken social photo sharing to new heights—or, in some cases, the same heights over and over again. The Weather Channel reports Instagram's list of the top ten most popular landmarks shared amongst its 150 million active users for 2013, eight of which are in the United States.
The top spot in the U.S. (and number two overall) goes to none other than New York City's Times Square—which, interestingly, ranked number four in 2012.
Personally, we're partial to number seven, Central Park—in fact, we snapped this photo during a snowy day a few months ago and shared it on our Instagram!
See the whole list here, and be sure to check out the best walks in the 10 most walkable U.S. cities.

Feb 2nd 2009 9:11AM When titles were more scarce, I picked up the "Of the Shattered Sun" title. Heck, it was cool, and I was there, on the frontlines of the battle for the sunwell, so it had some sentiment for me. Particularly being the first big added content event I was present for.
A lot of players sort of ruined the fun of it for me though, with comments about how meaningless it was, as if it compared in any way to their hand of whoever or champion of the whatever titles.
I hope when BC becomes a little older, and when people get more interesting flavor titles of thier own, I can go back to "of the shattered sun" without the negative heckling.

Essentially boiling down to I show up and die without being able to really do much about it.
My ability to do this as a mage mostlly revolves around sheeping, which heals the opponent, and dosen't kill them at all. I'm confused why we shouldn't have burst damage? Isn't it really all the same... Burst, kill target guy vs Stun, kill target guy?

How's everyone doing on their March goals? We had a good number of people post goals, so I'm interested to see how everyone else is doing!
I'm not doing too bad............
1. Control the amount I spend on household items. Doing ok on this. I've been trying to stay out of Walgreens, Walmart & Target. It helps that I've been extremely busy w/subbing and chaperoning field trips.

March Goals:
*put extra 163 on cc.
I ended up putting 200 on the cc
* change mailings addresses, I always put this off.
Still haven't did anything about this
* workout outside at least 5 times this month. I'm not an outdoors kind of girl, but I have a boy that will be 4 in May and he needs to learn some sports. So that's what we both will be doing.
I am doing a little.
* declutter laundry room.
Haven't worked on that also. :)

Here I go:
1. Cut the Household budget to $180 a week, with $40-$60 being set aside in cash for emergencies or additional costs. (This may seem drastic, but I am getting ready for the worse case scenerio, because I will not have a job in September with my current school). I have cut the budget down to $180, but it has been a big adjustment for us. This is the first week that I have saved the $40 dollars away. Cost of living is so high here in Michigan, it is ridiculolous, so what seems reasonable is not enough some weeks.
2. All additional money leftover each week from household budget and gas budget will be placed into the savings account. This is happening automatically by DH.
3. Pay 6 months worth of car insurance from tax return, and then bank remainder of

UPDATE: The Impact of School Buildings on Student Health and Performance is Topic of New White Paper from The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation and the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council
New White Paper Sheds Light on Need for Research
NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation and the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), today released a new white paper entitled, The Impact of School Buildings on Student Health and Performance: A Call for Research, at the 2nd Annual Green Schools National Conference in Denver, CO. The Green Schools Conference is dedicated to growing green schools across the nation. The new white paper, co-authored by Lindsay Baker, Researcher, PhD Candidate, University of California, Berkeley (on behalf of the Center for Green Schools at USGBC) and Harvey Bernstein, Vice President, Industry Insights & Alliances for McGraw-Hill Construction, part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, sheds light on the critical need for research around how the school building—through its design, maintenance and operations—impacts the health and performance of the students in those buildings.
The paper explored research from two perspectives: from the lens of the child's experience with their built environment, and from how different stakeholders could play an important role in bringing that research to light.
"We looked at what students experience in their classroom environments and linked that to six types of experiences—how students hear, breathe, see, feel, move, and think and learn," said Harvey Bernstein, Vice President Industry Insights & Alliances for McGraw-Hill Construction. "There are ways that we can design new schools, and invest in improving existing ones, to help improve a child's experience and enable that child to learn, and feel, better."
Schools are a critical part of our society. They are where our children spend their time, where they learn and where they play. And, they also make up the largest area of construction spending. This white paper demonstrates what stakeholders—from teachers to parents to government agencies and more—can do to improve the student learning environments of the future, making a case to use those dollars of construction spending to create the best environments.
"With so many of our country's schools in disrepair, it is critical to highlight the importance of providing our children with healthier, more sustainable educational environments that enhance learning," said Rachel Gutter, Director of the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council. "This paper highlights studies that present clear evidence that the way we build and maintain schools affects how students and teachers breathe, hear, see and learn. At the Center, we're working with partners around the country to facilitate future research that will help us to improve our nation's schools and the well-being of the students who attend them."

Review of chapter "A Warrior, First and Foremost." from
I think it's because I'm a guy and like the action scenes best that I like this one so much. And it's high time I left a review. Love the fight scenes best of all, you write them so well. Anyway, I know I'm a couple days late, but Happy Birthday!
Comments from author:
Thank you for the birthday greetings - I had a nice day!
** Love the fight scenes best of all, you write them so well.**
You know, this is one of my best ever reviews because you said that! I used to really dread fight scenes, especially as my husband writes such good ones. But then I suddenly realised it was really like playing D&D - which I had done for years - and began to be less worried about them.
And I remember working out what would happen in the battle by considering best use of the different forces as overall commander, then how it would appear for one of the archers whose view would be limited, and his focus tight.
So you can see why this is going to be one of my favourite reviews for a very long time!

Is it possible that we might see another character from the Buffyverse, like Spike or Anya, come to Middle Earth in the future of this series?

There is definitely plans for what happens when, at the very end of Return of the Key, she tries to contact Spike. But Anya is, as per canon, sadly dead.

Review of chapter "Homecoming." from
Lovely story. I just read the entirety of this series in the last couple of days, and was extremely moved. What a beautiful story. I am hoping to have a story dedicated to Tindome and Legolas only, I really like their relationship and would love to see them out on some adventure of there own, maybe to visit the hobbits.
Comments from author:
Thank you - I am really pleased that you have enjoyed the series so far. Currently I am working on something quite a bit later in the timeline - but there is most certainly room for more stories slotted in here and there...

Review of chapter "One Of These Bodies Is Not Like The Others..." from
First, I'm hoping that the riders reach Elessar before he finalizes the 'peace agreement'. News that the ellyth & others were attacked while the males were off making war should go over in an interesting fashion. Awaiting the hour of reprisal... Too bad they can't ride all that way with the eunuch's head on a pike.
And second, sad that T's death means no 'girls night of a different sort'. Awww... ^_^
Last, back in 'Return of the Key' when Tindome returns to Eryn Ithil, "Giles wondered, despite Dawn's reassurances that Middle Earth was now at peace, if such security measures were normal, or if they were in place to guard against any mishap at the portal. It was certainly a well organised defence – he looked at Buffy and saw that she was also nodding gently in appreciation." I suppose now we know a bit about why such security measures are in place... (?)
Comments from author:
Sorry it's taken a little while to reply - I've been away from home for a break.
Because I'm writing this with restricted points of view exactly what the king does will be 'outside the story' if you see what I mean - but I don't think elves are ever likely to leave their settlement totally unguarded - and this will just have confirmed that this is a good idea. Although I think there would have been extra security when the portal was opened - and quite possibly more than Giles ever noticed.

Review of chapter "Contingency Plans." from
Two chapters! The first one was plenty personal so I skimmed it, sorry. I'm not too squeamish but
those gory bits are best left to the participants I think. LOL. The next two were a definition of the title where so many just go for the catchy one and no story to back it up, at least that's the way I see it. Great read.
Comments from author:
Oh, please, please feel free to skip the 'gory' bits. I was saying to someone on my Live Journal that I sometimes use the 'pillow talk' to help set where they are in their relationship, but I think the story should work fine without - and you have just confirmed this for me. Thank you!

Review of chapter "Channelling Galadriel." from
THe idea od Tindome being on the fences makes me so happy!
Sorry it took me so long to review this, there's...stuff...going on IRL *eyeroll*
I'm thinking TIndome could have told Rumil all about sunburns long ago if he'd asked, lol. THough she's a California girl, so she likely tans without burning to much. :)
Can't wait for more!
Comments from author:
Your reviews are always welcome! I think she's pretty likely to tan, too - or remain palely unburnt, with what Gandalf thought of as a tendency to revert towards elven. But Rumil is such a serious soul - and while he happily ignores lots of things as being unimportant, anything to do with his beloved not-quite-an-elf he regards as very important to know and remember.

Awesome as always. Post again, post again! ^_^
One bunny for your hutch: I'd like to read about Haldirin's conception. And the building of the house in Ithilien. And the crew deciding to sail West. And... darn bunnies, they do multiply, don't they?
Comments from author:
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. The next two chapters are written and just need beta-ing. I think it should run to about 5 or 6 chapters in all.
Oddly enough I have a part of another 'Small Return' which is about, not Haldirin's, but Ithilienne's conception, and I have promised to do the sailing West story for a Tolkien Big Bang which should be due in July!

Politics dominated much of the news in South Queens in 2012. With local and national elections looming, the communities were the epicenter of a hard-fought state legislative race with statewide implications.
But much like T.S. Eliot's explanation of the apocalypse in "The Hollow Men," the campaign ended not with a bang, but with a whimper, shoved from the top of people's minds by the most devastating natural disaster to strike South Queens in a lifetime.
Hurricane Sandy roared ashore on Oct. 29 and for the rest of year, the Rockaways, Broad Channel and Howard Beach struggled to regain a sense of normalcy after the hurricane's storm surge flooded nearly every home in the area, causing millions of dollars in damage.
The year opened with news that Gov. Cuomo was eyeing Aqueduct Racetrack, home of the brand new Resorts World Casino New York City, as the site for the nation's largest convention center. The news was met with a wide range of reactions from outrage to trepidation, especially from members of Community Board 10, who had just breathed a sigh of relief with the opening of the long-awaited casino. The Aqueduct convention center was one of two planned for Queens, with another eyed for Willets Point.
Meanwhile, the financially struggling Howard Beach Senior Center decided to seek some private funding to keep itself off the endangered list every year when the city's budget is debated.
The Parks Department sought new bids to run the shuttered Forest Park Carousel after failing to find a bidder in previous attempts.
Residents of Ozone Park and South Ozone Park pleaded with the city to send more manpower to the 106th Precinct after a jump in robberies and concerns related to the opening of Resorts World.
The state Legislature redrew its district lines, punting on plans for independent redistricting, and the new lines left many incensed, dividing nearly every neighborhood in South Queens. The 15th Senate District, represented by Joe Addabbo. Jr. (D-Howard Beach), was redrawn to include the Rockaways and GOP-leaning neighborhoods like Kew Gardens Hills, while the 12th District, represented by Mike Gianaris (D-Astoria), was redrawn to include sections of South Queens along the Brooklyn border. Further, state Sen. Shirley Huntley's (D-Jamaica) district was expanded to include most of Richmond Hill and parts of Ozone Park and Woodhaven.
State Assembly lines were also redrawn, but most borders stayed the same, except in Richmond Hill, which was cut up into a number of districts, including one that stretches to Bellerose.
The city Department of Education moved forward with its plan to replace half the staff at John Adams and Richmond Hill high schools, and five others in the borough, close and reopen them under new names in September.
Meanwhile city budget negotiations moved forward as Mayor Bloomberg released his suggested spending cuts, including closing 20 fire companies in the city.
The West Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department celebrated 84 years in service.
Heavenly Florist in Ozone Park asked police to crack down on illegal flower vendors in the community because the scofflaws were taking away business.
After state legislators were unable to agree on a map for new state Congressional districts, a federal judge released her own, which eliminated Rep. Bob Turner's (R-Middle Village) district and sliced South Queens into three other districts, two of which were based in Brooklyn. Upon losing his district, Turner decided to make a run for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand.
District 27's Community Education Council unanimously opposed a plan by the DOE to allow students to attend any middle school in the district rather than the one they are zoned for. Parents and administrators were concerned that the plan would not make sense for the district — the largest in the city — because students would have to travel long distances to get to school. Parents were also concerned students from other parts of the district would deny zoned children seats in specific middle schools.
Rockaway's Peninsula Hospital was shut down for good by the state after problems arose in its clinical lab. Peninsula became the fourth borough hospital to close in the last four years.
Woodhaven residents successfully fought off a plan to change two streets from two-ways into one-ways, which they argued would cause traffic issues on other area roads.
Residents of Howard Beach voiced concern about safety because they say drug users were leaving dirty needles and other garbage in the parking lot of Waldbaum's on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Zena Basin of Howard Beach mourned her only son, Joshua, after he was pushed in front of an L train in Brooklyn by a homeless man and killed on March 23.
After Cuomo signed new legislative lines into law, Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) surprised many by announcing he would run against Democratic Senate incumbent Addabbo, in a new district that stretches from Breezy Point to Kew Gardens Hills.
Teachers, staff, parents and students fought the DOE's plan to close seven borough high schools including John Adams and Richmond Hill as the Panel for Educational Policy vote on the closures approached.
Francis LaCorte was convicted of the 2009 murder of Jerry Antoniello, son of former Romeo's Pizzeria owner Bartolomeo Antoniello, during a botched robbery attempt at the family's home on North Conduit Avenue in Ozone Park.
Residents in South Queens worried new Congressional maps that placed the communities of Howard Beach, Ozone Park and Woodhaven in districts based in Brooklyn would lead to them losing clout in federal representation.
The PEP voted to close John Adams and Richmond Hill high schools and reopen them under new names and with most of its staff replaced in September. The United Federation of Teachers immediately sued the city, calling the move a breach of contract.
Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder (D-Far Rockaway) proposed restarting the old Rockaway Beach rail line which has been abandoned between Rego Park and Ozone Park since 1962. Goldfeder said a new line would provide quicker service from South Queens and the Rockaways to Midtown Manhattan and help serve Resorts World Casino and the proposed convention center.
After a bird strike on a Delta jet at JFK Airport one month before, Sen. Gillibrand sought to remove much of the Canada geese.
After four years, the Parks Department announced it had found a vendor for the Forest Park Carousel, and the 109-year-old attraction reopened to the public on Memorial Day weekend.
Five months after its announcement, Gov. Cuomo said the proposed convention center project at Aqueduct Racetrack was dead.
Patrick Scannell, the principal at St. Mary Gate of Heaven School, retired after more than half a century at the helm of the Ozone Park institution.
John Adams and Richmond Hill high schools celebrated what they believed were to be their final graduations on June 26, while the UFT and the DOE fought over the procedure to close and reorganize the schools. The case went from a judge to an arbitrator, who ruled in the city's favor at the end of the month, forcing the issue back into the courts.
Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brooklyn) defeated Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) in the Democratic primary to represent the newly redrawn 8th Congressional District, which, though based in Brooklyn, includes Howard Beach and Ozone Park. In the new 7th Congressional District, which includes Woodhaven, 20-year incumbent Nydia Velazquez defeated three other challengers in the Democratic primary to hold her seat, while Rep. Greg Meeks (D-Jamaica) also fended off a primary challenge in the 5th Congressional District, which was redrawn to include the Rockaways.
A federal judge ruled for the teachers union in the suit against the DOE's turnaround program that would have closed John Adams and Richmond Hill high schools and fired much of the staff, leaving the schools in a state of limbo through most of the summer.
Residents in South Ozone Park were outraged when the MTA moved the Q41 bus from 111th Avenue to 109th Avenue, taking more than half the parking spots on one block away for new bus stops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture removed more than half of the Canada geese population in and around Jamaica Bay after concerns over bird strikes at JFK Airport.
The City Council gave its final approval to a massive rezoning of Woodhaven, Ozone Park and Richmond Hill after nearly half a decade in the works.
Sixteen people were injured when a fire swept through a row of houses on 115th Street in South Richmond Hill on one of the hottest days of the year.
Parents at a South Ozone Park school expressed concern and outrage when it was discovered that over two dozen registered sex offenders were or had been living in the Skyway men's homeless shelter on South Conduit Avenue, which had changed from a family shelter to a men's shelter 16 months earlier.
Richmond Hill's Sikh-American community called for calm after a man gunned down several people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Mayor Bloomberg condemned the attack and continued his call for more gun control during a visit to the Sikh Cultural Center on 118th Street.
Graffiti vandals struck work vans along Sutter Avenue in Ozone Park and one business captured the entire crime on its security cameras.
Police warned of a string of burglaries aimed at the homes of Hindus in Ozone Park and Richmond Hill, allegedly targeted because of gold religious material inside the houses.
Locked in a tight race with Councilman James Sanders (D-Laurelton), state Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica) was arrested on charges that she funneled taxpayer money to a fraudulent nonprofit called the Parent Workshop.
Negative mailings dominated the Republican primary for state Senate between Councilman Eric Ulrich and Queens GOP-backed attorney Juan Reyes. The race got exceptionally nasty when the Reyes campaign sent out mailers accusing Ulrich of flipping on support of LGBT rights and hiring a gay staffer. The race ended in a decisive Ulrich victory on Sept. 13.
After being indicted on corruption charges, Huntley lost her race against Sanders by a wide margin, becoming the only state legislator in Queens to be defeated in 2012.
Residents of 84th Avenue in Richmond Hill fought a proposal by the Department of Transportation to change the street into a one-way. Community Board 9 later rejected the plan.
A lighting fixture leaking PCBs in a Long Island City school shined a light on the city's plan to remove the chemical from public schools by 2021, leading to calls for that timeline to be expedited.
Cuomo announced the reorganization of the New York Racing Association's horse safety and health procedure after a string of horse deaths at Aqueduct Racetrack and other racing venues in the state.
Four graduates of Richmond Hill high school were killed in a car accident Columbus Day weekend on the Southern State Parkway in Nassau County. The driver of the vehicle, who survived, was unlicensed and later arrested for allegedly driving while under the influence of marijuana.
The race between Ulrich and Addabbo for state Senate culminated in a debate cohosted by the Queens Chronicle on Oct. 25 at Ave Maria Catholic Academy in Howard Beach.
But the campaign fell off the front pages the next week when on Oct. 29, Hurricane Sandy struck New York. A storm surge as high as 10 feet flooded the Rockaways, Broad Channel and Howard Beach, drowning basements and some first floors. Power was knocked out to more than 100,000 people in Queens, and everyone in Howard Beach. Twelve people died in Queens as a result of the storm, including one eldery woman who drowned in her Howard Beach home. The storm also toppled more than 7,000 trees in the borough, among them, the 100-foot evergreen on Forest Parkway in Woodhaven used for the neighborhood's Christmas celebrations.
Though the race was muted by the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Sandy, Addabbo won re-election, defeating Ulrich 57 percent to 43 percent. With power out in many parts of the district and many residents in the Rockaways and Howard Beach displaced, voting was complicated as some cast ballots away from their homes. Turnout was relatively low.
Power remained out in Howard Beach for up to two weeks and even longer in the Rockaways. Frustration and confusion with utility companies, insurance agencies and FEMA led to angry, despondent residents lashing out at local officials at a town hall meeting at PS 146 on Nov. 20.
Meanwhile, the NYC Districting Commission released would-be final lines for new City Council districts, which angered a number of civic leaders, especially in Woodhaven, where the border between two districts sliced the neighborhood in half.
The power was back on in most of the Sandy-affected zone by early December, but the aftereffects remained, with many houses still cleaning out and businesses along Cross Bay Boulevard still struggling to get back on their feet.
The devastated West Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department, which lost all its vehicles in Hurricane Sandy, received donated firetrucks from Mississippi and Pennsylvania, and Duane Reade donated $25,000 to the organization.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley (D-Middle Village) announced she would be supporting the proposed landmarking of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Woodhaven, which closed its doors in May 2011. Ed Wendell, president of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association and the Woodhaven Historical and Cultural Society, threw his support behind the idea and the landmarking of the adjacent Wyckoff-Snediker Cemetery, which dates back to the 18th century.

"I cannot thank Chairman Brown and the Commissioners and staff of the Public Service Commission enough for today's groundbreaking decision to permanently stay the submetering orders for Roosevelt Landings, Frawley Plaza, Metro North, and the Alpacas I&II.
"Initially when I challenged the PSC's approval of submetering at Roosevelt Landings, the PSC issued a temporary stay. Now that the Commission has made that stay permanent, tenants can rest assured that they will not be subjected to any submetering scheme without their full consultation and basic tenant protections to ensure they are not unduly burdened.
"The PSC's decision today promises a brighter future that doesn't pit tenant rights against environmental goals – it proves that we can do both. The protections won are meaningful acknowledgements of what has been a deeply flawed process from a tenants' rights perspective – and while more needs to be done, there is no question that we are moving in the right direction.
"The Commission's order addresses the need for tenants to be protected from illegal eviction proceedings that are too often brought over unpaid utility bills. It also acknowledges that asking tenants to use energy more efficiently means requiring landlords to give tenants the tools that make this possible, such as installing thermostats in electrically-heated buildings.
"While I am pleased with the victories won today, more work needs to be done to ensure that tenants are treated fairly. Some of the requirements do not go far enough – for instance, I do not believe that submetering should ever be allowed in the minority of buildings left in New York City that use electric heated. At a minimum, I will continue to push for the metering of electric heating to be separated out from other electrical uses.
"Also, while this order relates to four specific buildings – creating tremendous precedent for future cases – the reality is that these basic tenant protections should be clearly written into law so that all New Yorkers share the same rights and are governed by the same rules."

Lean Top 50 Best Local Citation Sources in the USA leanmarketing.caSubmitted by GertexWF Jan 16 2013 in Local 6 Comments Discuss (6) |
After 3 months, 450 man hours, 6510 search queries, and the review of 45,570 Google+ Local pages, I have compiled a ton of local search data. Data which I believe provides great insight into the most important citations sources available. Let's first remember what a citation in local search is.
Alex Fusman @AlexFusman
Interesting stuff for those of us who have local businesses as clients. Also an intriguing insight regarding directories that accept reviews. Thanks for putting this together!
Anand Nathan @CommSEO
All of these curated lists are good, but I like how they compiled data to create this one, and in the process, surprised themselves with some of the results.
Adam Steele @AdamGSteele
For those of us with directories *cough* I think there is some excellent insight to be taken away from here. Is it possible that there is a reason Google scrapes these sites over others? What is it? And how do I do the same with my site? In fact, we even saw some blogs being scraped.
Or could it be that Google is just a dumb bot, and has no idea what it is pulling in?
kenrikboyd @kenrikboyd
Great resource for directory submission. Thanks for sharing!
John Vincent Aquino @jvinceaquino
Also Google scrapes some dir's which don't have reviews posted from that biz profile.

I am interested in purchasing this theme but wondered if the graphics you created are copy written? I'm looking to buy the theme for a preschool and wondered if I could use the graphic images as part of the logo to brand their small home biz?
Look forward to hearing back.

Thank you buddy!
I am very interested in purchasing your Html product. But have several questions please.
1. If we purchase the Html version, is that a Responsive template? Will it work on smart phones and tablets?
2. If we want to get rid of some of the content can we do so and re-size the file?
Your work is AMAZING! This product would work for our daycare wonderfully! Looking forward to hearing back from you! Absolute best!
Hello there,
1. Sure, the HTML is responsive also.
2. Yes, you can remove content from the default layout, but you will need to have HTML coding skills, since this has no admin interface like the WordPress version.
Really really congratulations for your template, it was very very inspiring and well coded. I already made my own version in bootstrap based on your design for the personal website of my son, here the site
Very recomendable and really worth to buy it Greetings
Thank you @papilio

Are the background vectors and images (clouds, sun, rocket etc) easy to change? Im guess we could adapt the theme simple by generating new photoshop artwork?
you need to change theme CSS in order to apply new images or just to upload new images with the same size and name, there are a lot of clients that did this successfully.
Can you tell me logo font name?

The First Episode Spoiler is a specific type of plot twist in which the first episode of a series contains a plot twist which comes as a surprise to viewers who have just started watching, but immediately goes on to become an important plot point or premise to the series. As such, it may be hard (and in many cases impossible) to describe the series without completely ruining the suspense during the first episode. This is most common in plot-driven series, although it can occasionally be found in the pilot episodes of premise-based series. For a literary example to qualify, the twist should take place within the first few chapters, or else it becomes a regular plot twist. If a First Episode Spoiler is at the end of a book or series and is ruined by subsequent installations, then it becomes Late-Arrival Spoiler. First Episode Spoilers are prone to being ruined by trailer or opening credits for the series. Some shows use a shorter, or completely absent opening in the first episode in order to avoid this. If there are Powers in the First Episode, this becomes exponentially more likely. Contrast with All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game" and/or compare with It Was His Sled, where the spoiler doubles as being known to all the late-arrival viewers. This is a spoilers trope, so consider yourself warned. Compare Late-Arrival Spoiler and Mid-Season Twist.

Detectives are investigating the second burglary at a Mead medical marijuana dispensary in a week.
Spokane County sheriff's deputies responded to a commercial burglary alarm at Evergreen Medical Inc., 12004 N. Market, about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday and found the south side door open with the Plexiglas window removed.
Nothing was stolen, but about $1,000 worth of glass bongs, bubblers and pipes were stolen last Friday. A motorist notified police of an open and broken glass door about 8:30 a.m. Deputies found a tire iron on the floor and pry marks on several locked drawers.
Anyone with information on the burglaries is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.
Spokane Deputy Prosecutor John Grasso said Thursday that he considers marijuana dispensaries such as Evergreen to be violating state law. It's unclear if drug detectives also are investigating the business.

the universe. This is the process by which generations of astronomers have attempted to infer the structure and evolution of the universe from the basic observations, the spatial primitives of astronomy. They did so by converting data about energy into representations, often graphic, that allowed them to draw inferences about the physics of the stars and the cosmos. Spatial thinking is so pervasive in astronomy that in our illustrative story, we will further restrict the discussion to some of the key steps that built up a cosmic distance scale and enabled us to place objects in space, and eventually in time, with increasing precision.
The first step in the process involved inferences about the shape and size of Earth. Central to this process were the attempts to measure the size of Earth and, outstanding among those attempts, was the work of Eratosthenes.
Of the remarkable series of polymaths who were librarians of the Great Library in Alexandria, Egypt, none was more remarkable than Eratosthenes of Cyrene (275–194 BC) (see Casson, 2001). Eratosthenes was, among other things, a mathematician, a philosopher, and a geographer. In the last of these avocations, he was a pioneer. He produced a remarkably accurate world map, centered on the "known" world of the Mediterranean Sea. The map was the first to include parallel lines of latitude. He suggested that Africa might be circumnavigated and that the major seas were connected. He calculated the length of the year and proposed adding a leap year to accommodate for the progressive discrepancy between Earth's orbit and the calendar.
Of his geographic achievements, Eratosthenes is best remembered for his work in geodesy, establishing the scientific grounding for that discipline through a brilliant exercise in spatial thinking. He calculated the circumference of Earth:
He did this by employing a method that was perfectly sound in principle: first ascertaining by astronomical observations the difference between the latitudes of two stations situated on the same meridian, also by terrestrially measuring the distance between the same two stations, and finally, on the assumption that the earth was spherical in shape, by computing its circumference. (Vrettos, 2002, p. 52)
The details of the actual procedure are even more remarkable. It combined knowledge, observation, calculation, inference, and intuition in a way that captures the essence of spatial thinking.
Eratosthenes was aware of the idea, which had been proposed by earlier Greek natural philosophers, that Earth is spherical in shape. When he learned from travelers that at noon on the summer solstice in Syene (modern Aswan) the Sun shone directly into a deep well and its reflection was visible on the surface of the water in the well, he realized that the Sun must be directly overhead at that date and time, so that a gnomon (vertical stick) would cast no shadow. If Earth is indeed spherical, on the same date and time, a gnomon where he lived, in Alexandria, would cast a shadow. A smaller Earth, with a greater curvature, would produce a longer shadow than a larger Earth.
He realized that this general argument could be turned into a quantitative measurement by envisioning a frame of reference with an origin at the center of Earth, and by assuming that the Sun is so far away that its rays would be nearly parallel at Syene and Alexandria (Figure 3.2). In that case, the angle formed by a gnomon and the tip of its shadow in Alexandria, would be the same angular distance between Syene and Alexandria that would be observed from the center of Earth. He measured this angle and found it to be 7 degrees and 12 minutes, or approximately 1/50th of a circle. Since the overland distance between Alexandria and Syene had been measured by travelers (5,000 stade), he multiplied that number by 50 to arrive at a distance for the circumference of Earth.
Starting from the generally accepted belief that Alexandria and Syene (modern Aswan) were on the same meridian and his belief that Earth was spherical, Eratosthenes used a frame of reference

Please provide you questions or comments in the form below:
Advice to New Muslims
First and foremost, Congratulations on your success! Becoming a Muslim at first may probably be one of the most difficult trials of your life. It may also be that you are thinking about Islam and have yet to proclaim the declaration of faith. If so, here is some friendly advice from new Muslims:
Do not get overwhelmed...
A new faith, new rules of life, and changes. Many people are not use to change, most are eager to join every Islamic group on the face of the earth. Others start playing scholar within a few months. Many people feel left out because they think they have to speak Arabic within a month. This is not so. Language doesn't make the Muslim. Take your time in leanring everything to its potential. It took the companion of the Prophet, the 2nd Caliph twelve years to memorize the second chapter of the Qur'aan!
Prayer is key...
Let prayer be the first thing you learn as a Muslim. Praying 5 times a day will make you feel closer to Allah and bring blessings in to your journey. It will open doors to knowledge. Learning Arabic is important, but do not stress yourself over it. For many new Muslims, learning hadith, Islamic social/family life, and politics is easy, but learning the prayers properly seems to be the most difficult. In the Qur'aan, Allah states:
"Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their prayers with humility and attentiveness." [Al-Qur'aan 23:1-2]
The Prophet Muhammad also said: "Between iman, and between shirk and kufr there is the abandonment of Prayer" (shirk is the worship of objects other than Allah, and kufr is disbelief in Allah and the Message He sent). [Tirmidhi]
Furthermore, Allah said:"Verily, Prayer prevents one from shameful and evil deeds." [Al-Qur'aan 29:45]
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me...
Do not be surprised if you find yourself in a tough and awkward situation with your family and outsiders. Many new Muslims have shared their experiences encountering discrimination and racism from Muslims and non-Muslims! Many have said that they feel there is a lack of Muslim support from the communities, and they feel as outcasts. Do not let the character of a few Muslims deter your from the truth, Islam. You may feel angry, alone, sad, resentment etc., but do not let those feelings cause you to make a decision that you might regret for the rest of your life.
The truth is, this does not happen often; however, you should be aware of it. You will find Muslims much more giving and much more open and welcoming for the most part. In fact, you may even be overwhelmed by their generosity and hospitality. If you find yourself in a tough situation, contact us at MUC. We have heard and seen enough to know that there are people who sometimes do mess up, may have character flaws. No one is perfect. You can also try other resources like websites, mailing lists, online learning tools, online Islamic education and much more. These can surely help you learn the basic principles of Islam. You should even try YouTube! There are very nice lessons on how to pray.
Some pearls of wisdom...
Make the effort, for in the end, it only matters about you as an individual and your relationship with Allah. No one will be responsible for your actions except you yourself on the Day of Judgment. Have faith in Allah, put your trust in him.
There may be something that is good for you, but may not know it. There may also be something bad for you, which you are protected from it by Allah. He knows all. Allah has a plan for all of us, and His Love and Mercy is so great that your only choice is to trust in Him and submit to His Will. You may not like some of the situations you are placed in, and it may get ugly, but do not sweat the small stuff. Most of the time, we are put into trials and tribulations because Allah loves us. All the messengers and prophets of the past were put to the test. If we want to be closer to Allah, then we must go through struggles and difficulties in life to attain His pleasure and blessings.
Ultimately our goal in life is to attain heaven, or junnah. We must remind each other that this life is only but a test, and that verily, the afterlife is the true reality. May Allah bless you and guide you to the straight path and give you patience through this amazing journey. Ameen.

Double has parseDouble method which tries to parse a String as a Double. You need to put it inside a try-catch block since it throws NumberFormatException.
You can write logic inside catch since it is called if the value is not a valid double!
Here is an example code:
Java Code:
double value; try { // String textValue = the string from your JTextField value = Double.parseDouble(textValue); // if the code gets to here, it was recognizable as a double } catch(NumberFormatException e) { // if the code gets to here, it was NOT recognizable as a double }

Majority Of Newcomers To Canada Not Confident In Their Financial Knowledge: RBC Poll
Misconceptions about credit persist among new immigrants
TORONTO, July 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Six-in-10 newcomers (60 per cent) who arrived in Canada in the past year say that they lack financial knowledge, including how to establish and build credit during their first year living in Canada, according to the RBC Newcomer Financial Attitudes Poll. Among those who have lived in Canada between two and five years, 92 percent of newer Canadians found their financial literacy about borrowing options improved.
"We have an opportunity to improve financial understanding for newcomers to Canada when they first arrive and we have a role to play in making sure that they are getting the right advice from day one," said Paul Sy, director, Multicultural Markets, RBC. "Building a strong credit score is important to helping you get established in Canada, particularly when the time comes to buy a car or a family home."
During the first year in their new home country, few newcomers believed that using a credit card would help them establish a credit rating (nine per cent) or make life more convenient (12 per cent). But over time, these newcomers pick up financial knowledge quickly, as they integrate into their communities and learn to use credit responsibly. For immigrants who have lived in Canada for two to five years, they were now more likely to agree that credit cards make life more convenient (59 per cent) and that it's easy to use a credit card to help establish a Canadian credit rating (54 per cent)."Economically and socially, it is in Canada's best interest for its consumers to be financially literate and practice good financial habits," said Sy. Demystifying credit for newcomers There are still a lot of misconceptions when it comes to credit use for newcomers to Canada and Sy clarifies the following:
- Myth: In Canada, your credit rating is affected by your age, income and gender. The higher a person's income, the better that person's credit rating will be. Reality: Your credit rating is based on your record of managing your finances responsibly. Lenders look at how you handle your financial obligations, such as whether you pay your monthly bills on time, carry a balance, or regularly miss payments.
- Myth: Someone who has a lot of assets in their home country will have a better credit rating. Reality: Although assets are part of the equation, lenders in Canada will also focus on your Canadian borrowing history to assess your creditworthiness. That's why it is important to build your Canadian credit profile early on, especially if you have plans for big purchases, such as a house or car, which typically require a loan. Even smaller transactions, such as renting living accommodations or getting a cell phone, often require a credit check.
- Myth: When you get married your credit scores are merged. Reality: Credit scores are based on individuals. Any joint application for a loan will be assessed on both partner's credit profiles. As well, any negative or positive reporting will be reflected on each score and could affect your approval or the terms of your loan.

Michael L Brown Upset at the Queer Things Happening to America
We've met Dr Michael L Brown before. In The Fighting Words of Michael Brown, I analyzed the revolution- and battle-based rhetoric he uses to call evangelical Christians to rise up against gays and lesbians, and their rights. In Pedophilia, Hedonism & Impending Confusion, I revisited Brown's anti-gay rhetoric and demonstrated how he misrepresented LGBT people with a classic "slippery slope" argument.
Now Brown is in the spotlight again with a book that claims to chronicle the rise of gay rights and, with the support of "massive research and extensive interaction with the GLBT community," debunk the so-called homosexual agenda. A Queer Thing Happened to America: And What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been is, according to its author, a 700-page representation and demolition of the gay agenda, of which 100 pages are supporting footnotes.
Brown couldn't find anyone to publish his book, a fact he puts down to fear. Read it and "find out why the publishing world was afraid to touch it," he says. "Family values" apologist Bill Muehlenberg props up Brown's theory in his enthusiastic review:
The fact that this book almost did not get published may be the most telling aspect of this volume. One publisher after another refused to have anything to do with this book. This simply shows the enormous power the militant homosexual lobby now exercises.
The simple truth is, they have effectively imposed an iron curtain of censorship, intimidating and bullying anyone who dares to question their radical agenda. Thus those voices that are willing to stand up and speak truth are few and far between.
Or perhaps Christian publishers just don't fall for this extreme stuff anymore?
White supremacists undoubtedly make the same claim about publishers being afraid to touch their books, but Brown and Muehlenberg, your theories of bullying might fit your story, but it's just one version of events based on your own homophobic preconceptions. Another theory, and one supported by a story I and millions of others think better fits the facts, is that the kind of claims you make are both incorrect and fundamentally hateful. (Meanwhile, spare a thought for the kids who are really getting bullied in America today.)
Brown eventually self-published the book under the name EqualTime. If this strikes anyone as familiar, remember that anti-gay reparative therapy organization NARTH effectively had to do the same thing to get their pro-gay-cure report published — they created a new journal and touted a feeble literature review produced by members of their own society as a pioneering, peer-reviewed study.
Brown and his supporters will probably protest that I haven't yet read the book. I know enough of Brown, the movement he represents, and what I've read about the book so far to confidently predict what kind of thing it contains and how accurate it is. I've based my comments only on what I know so far, and I'm not building up my hopes of finding anything different in the book itself. But I will read it — when I have the time and the stomach — and I'll report back.

In this paper, the problem of Bénard convection in a fluid saturated porous medium heated from below with non-uniform temperature gradient under magnetic field is studied. A linear stability analysis is performed to undertake a detail investigation. We found that it is possible to delay the onset of Bénard convection in saturated porous medium with the effect of a cubic state temperature profile and also by increasing the magnetic field.

Country/Region: United States
The US State Department has been criticised for "glaring omissions" in its latest list of countries designated as severe violators of religious freedom.
The Harry S. Truman Building, headquarters of the US State Dept
CC BY-SA 3.0 / Wikimedia Commons
In its Annual Report on International Religious Freedom, the State Department re-designated eight "countries of particular concern" (CPCs) – Burma (Myanmar), China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Uzbekistan – the same as listed last year.
The term is applied to any country in which the government has "engaged in or tolerated systematic, ongoing and egregious violations of religious freedom". The US International Religious Freedom Act (1998) requires the US government to take specific actions, including economic sanctions and diplomatic protests, against CPCs.
CPC recommendations are made by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), an independent, bipartisan body. It raised concerns that no new countries were added this year.
"Glaring omissions"
Chairman Leonard Leo said the current list "continues glaring omissions" and called for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to consider the six additional countries recommended for designation. These were Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.
Pakistan was omitted despite recognition in the State Department's report that the country's laws restrict religious freedom and that the government enforced these restrictions, and also that investigation and prosecution of perpetrators of extremist attacks on minorities are rare.
The Pakistani government's measures to improve religious freedom were noted, including the creation of a Ministry of National Harmony, which was set up after the assassination of two politicians, Punjab Governor Salman Taseer and Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, who opposed the "blasphemy laws".
Pakistan's blasphemy laws are often used against Christians and other non-Muslim minorities; Christian mother Aasia Bibi is currently on death row in Pakistan, having been falsely accused of defiling the name of Muhammad.
The USCIRF has recommended Egypt as a CPC for the first time in light of increasing attacks on Christians since the revolution and failure of the government to take action. Mr Leo said:
Instances of severe religious freedom violations engaged in or tolerated by the government have increased dramatically. Since President Mubarak's resignation from office in February, such violence continues unabated without the government's bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Egyptian Christians are concerned that religious freedom will deteriorate further if Islamist parties emerge victorious in the country's forthcoming parliamentary elections.
USCIRF threatened
The latest State Department report comes as the future of the USCIRF, which was created 13 years ago to promote religious freedom overseas, is under threat. It has been criticised for what some see as a disproportionate focus on the persecution of Christians globally, while others feel that it causes confusion overseas as to whether or not it speaks for the White House, and has too little accountability.
It needs to be re-authorised by the Senate, and whether or not this will happen remains unclear. If the USCIRF is retained, it will have to operate with a reduced budget and a reduction in the number of commissioners from nine to five.
