Apache Roller 5.1.1 Released!
10.01.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
Apache Roller 5.1.1 has been released, offering the following fixes/enhancements over Roller 5.1:
- ROL-1387 - In creating tag aggregate counts (for tag clouds, etc.), count tags only from published blog entries
- ROL-1620 - Plus signs in Category names result in 404s for Atom and RSS feeds
- ROL-2050 - Have Design Tab default to Templates page when custom themes are being used (speeds up template customization)
- ROL-2051 - Themes not falling back to standard templates when mobile ones undefined (affecting ability for Roller to be read from tablets and smartphones.)
- ROL-2052 - Custom stylesheets not being updated correctly when user switches between shared and custom themes.
- ROL-2054 - Newly saved categories not appearing on blog
- ROL-2055 - Comment search should be case-insensitive
Update needed for Roller 5.1 blogs to display on smartphones/tablets
09.02.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
Note (1 October 2014): Below problem has been fixed with the latest Roller 5.1.1 release.
Apache Roller 5.1 has a bug in which the standard blog theme templates are not being activated when no mobile theme templates are defined, resulting in blogs not being readable in most cases from tablets or smartphones. (Roller 5.1 now allows the option of separate templates, called template renditions, for mobile and standard displays, however the standard rendition is supposed to be activated when a mobile rendition is not defined.) I've just committed a fix to this problem in Roller trunk, i.e., the future Apache Roller 5.1.1. Until we have a new release, here are some solutions to this problem:
Upgrade to a snapshot version of Roller containing the fix - Providing you've already upgraded to Roller 5.1, switching to a patched version should be just a simple switch of the WAR file. First checkout and build Roller tag http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/tags/roller_5.1.0-ROL2051patch and redeploy the WAR. You can alternatively just deploy Roller 5.1.1-SNAPSHOT (i.e., trunk), which at the point of publication of this blog entry is the same as the above tag, however with additional commits to the trunk over time bugs and incompatibilities may pop up as we develop the code. As with any upgrade, good to manually back up any custom (modified) templates and stylesheets so you can bring them in again if a problem occurs in the upgrade, however this particular patch should not have any effect on customized templates.
Switch to the basic-mobile theme. This theme already has separate mobile and standard renditions explicitly defined in its theme.xml descriptor.
For shared themes in the WEB-INF/themes folder of the WAR, in the theme.xml (for example here for basic), duplicate each rendition, marking one for standard and one for mobile, just as done right now with the basic-mobile theme. Such a change will result in Roller 5.1 picking up the same template regardless of device type. If you've customized a shared theme however, back up your templates as you will probably need to copy them over once you re-import the new shared theme.
Upgrading Roller 5.1-SNAPSHOT database instances
07.07.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
Apache Roller trunk (i.e., 5.1-SNAPSHOT) will automatically upgrade any Roller database that was part of an official release from Roller 3.1 onwards during its install process. Follow the Apache Roller installation guide for more information on this process, including making sure that you do a safety back up of your database prior to running the install.
However, for those who have earlier deployed unreleased 5.1-SNAPSHOT versions, neither later 5.1-SNAPSHOTs nor the future release 5.1 will be able to automatically upgrade your SNAPSHOT database, which will create a incompatibility issue if database changes occurred in development since the snapshot version you deployed. This will necessitate some manual database upgrade changes prior to moving to the later version of Roller.
To determine if any manual database changes are needed, check the revision number located on the footer of the Roller login page, i.e., the (rXXXXXX) value at the end of the "Powered by Apache Roller Weblogger Version 5.1.0-SNAPSHOT" string. Then, using the source control repository of the createdb.vm file, do a comparison (using the "select for diffs" links) between versions of the file immediately preceding that version number and either the latest version of the file (for a future 5.1-SNAPSHOT) or the version just before but no later than the release date of Roller 5.1.
For example, here is a comparison between March 2014 and May 2014 database instances. Note the createdb.vm does not provide the actual SQL statements needed for your particular database instance (as that will vary depending on the database you're using) but just the pseudocode SQL informing you which tables and columns need deletion, creation, modification, etc. Check your database's manuals for information on the necessary SQL statement syntax for table alterations, and of course back up your database first.
Language Support for Upcoming Roller 5.1
07.07.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
Apache Roller 5.1 is expected to be released "soon" (no fixed date yet available). For the Apache Roller trunk branch (i.e., upcoming 5.1), I recently cleaned out the language resource files of unused strings that have accumulated over the years and also introduced generic.* property strings for common functions (Save, Edit, Delete, etc.) that are used in multiple places to further reduce the number of strings that need translation. As a result, each of the language files shrank 25-35%, with the results browsable online. As one can see, Roller 5.1 will be shipping with support for English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese - Simplified, Japanese, and Korean. (By language support, I'm referring to the user interface for administering your blog--creating blog entries, managing comments, etc.--and certain boilerplate text within your blog templates. For writing blog articles and customizing your blog templates, Roller supports virtually any written language desired.)
However the non-English languages have only between 30-50% of the total strings (roughly 1800 in all) translated. Any strings missing will appear in the default English. If you're looking to deploy Roller in an office or school and wish to have better support for a given language, now would be a great time to check out Roller trunk from Subversion and submit a patch to our JIRA issue tracker, translating some-to-all of the missing strings of your desired language. IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition provides an easy-to-use editor to identify and translate strings present in the English but missing in the other files, and Eclipse offers similar.
Apache Roller 5.0.4 Released
06.27.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
The Roller team has made a patch release of the Apache Roller 5 branch, upgrading to the latest 126.96.36.199 release of Struts2 to fix some security issues found in earlier releases of that library. It's recommended to upgrade your Roller installation to this latest version.
Meanwhile, we're getting closer to a new Roller 5.1 release (perhaps within a few weeks), which features fully updated dependencies, a refactored and shrunk code base, and a more modern and simplified user interface. Stay tuned for its release!
New article on coding Apache Roller
04.27.2014 by Glen | 0 Comments
Roller committer Glen Mazza (me!) has written a new article providing tips on how to efficiently work with the Apache Roller source code, helpful for those wishing to contribute to Apache Roller development and/or customize it for their particular needs.

I want to boost my DHT levels up so that I can treat my Tren gyno.
My e2 and prolactin levels are in optimal ranges and I read an article by Prince stating that true DHT can occupy the receptor sites used by progestins to cause gyno.
One of the suggestions was using AndroHard by Primordial.
Another suggestion was using a high dose of DHEA, but no actual dose was suggested.
What do you guys think would be the best way to boost my DHT ?

A Top Model Battles Psoriasis and Wins

Pityriasis Rosea
Can you win "America's Next Top Model" with a skin disease? CariDee English proved you can. She found a treatment for psoriasis that helped curb outbreaks. Plus, check out "before" and "after" photos of English in our slideshow...
Tall, stunning, leggy – "America's Next Top Model" CariDee English has a lot in common with other runway queens.
But unlike most of them, English has battled psoriasis since childhood. At some points, the red, flaky scales common to the condition covered most of her body.
Most psoriasis sufferers feel like lepers. But not English. The CW reality star has taken a no-pity accepted approach toward her skin disease.
Since winning the "top model" title in 2006, English, 30, has become a spokeswoman for the National Psoriasis Foundation.
In this Lifescript exclusive, English talks about growing up with an incurable disease, modeling and beauty tips for concealing psoriasis. She also reveals private photos of herself before, during and after an outbreak.
How has psoriasis affected your modeling career?
I was kicked to the curb so many times. I went to Florida one year for a modeling convention. One agency that was interested didn't know about my psoriasis. They signed me when I was 17. I packed up my whole life – even graduated high school early to move down to Miami.
Two weeks later, they got the test shots back and they [asked], 'What's going on with your legs?'
I had makeup on, but we were shooting at the beach. It washed off and [the psoriasis showed up on the photos.]
I said, 'Jeez, you might want to get a new photographer because this film looks a little sketchy.'
What happened?
Twenty-four hours later I was on a flight back home [to Fargo, N.D.].
It's one thing to be rejected at an audition, but it's another to be living your dream for three weeks.
For about two minutes, I thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't be modeling.' That's how long it lasted. Then I said, 'You know what? I'm going to be successful and send them my first magazine.'
The day I won "Top Model," [my]
magazine [cover] came out. I signed the cover and sent it to the agency. Success is the best revenge.
How long have you been living with psoriasis?
Since I was 5 years old. It was just a patch on my leg, and I wasn't sure what was going on. My mom saw it and she was like, 'Oh boy.' She knew exactly what [it was].
Your mother also has psoriasis?
Mine's chronic and very severe. She didn't have it as bad, but when she was pregnant with me, she flared up – almost over 80% of her body. Then sometimes it would localize to either her elbow or her knees.
She actually has another form of psoriasis called psoriatic arthritis (PA), which attacks the joints. When my mother had a flare-up, she'd feel like she was 90. She couldn't walk. It hurt to blink; it hurt to move.
Psoriasis can take over your life. It's very paralyzing, mentally and physically.
Are you at risk of psoriatic arthritis?
Absolutely. They say about 30% of people with psoriasis develop PA. Some people get it before they get psoriasis and sometimes it's the other way. It doesn't discriminate.
Was your psoriasis always bad?
It got progressively worse as I grew up. By 13, I was covered about 70% [over my body]. Thankfully, I never got it on my face, but I got it on my hands, arms, feet, legs, stomach and back.
You'll always have the disease, no matter what, because it's internal. There's no absolute psoriasis cure.
How often does it flare up?
It can come and go, or it can be [constant]. It just depends on the patient.
It's not like you're going to have it for a year and it's going to go away. Once you have it, flare-ups can get worse.
How did you cope as a child?
I learned to mask it under long sleeves, pants – even during the hottest days of summer.
I'd see my friends in T-shirts, tank tops and shorts, and I was always very jealous. I didn't shave my legs until I was 20.
I got very aggravated, [thinking] 'Why do I have this?'
I knew other people had my disease, but I didn't see it on anybody else. As far as I was concerned, I was the only one.
How does psoriasis affect your daily life?
I had days where I didn't want to go out. Even going to a gas station, the clerks didn't want to hand me change because my hands were covered.
They didn't understand that you can rub all you want and you're not going to catch it. Psoriasis looks very ugly and so [it's natural for] people to draw back, but I take it personally.
Why did you want to go public as one of the few celebrities with psoriasis who've spoken out?
I began realizing what it was like to live behind my disease.
There has been a lot of comparison between leprosy and psoriasis.
They're scared of what they don't understand. That's where I come in as an advocate and sufferer.
How do people react now?
I often hear: 'You're so brave to do this.' I take it as a compliment, but I didn't have a choice.
Documenting my skin [check out the
] is the ultimate way to say, 'I have it, but it's not having me.'
I'm still that goofy girl, good friend, sister, daughter, model. I'm still me, no matter what.
Psoriasis isn't a skin disease. It's an autoimmune, systemic disorder that manifests on the skin. It's very much an internal disease.
Have you tried a treatment for psoriasis?
I was in a tanning booth at 12 years old. Light treatments help to a certain point because of the UVA and UVB rays.
I did creams, which was frustrating because I had to apply them 2-3 times a day. Some [creams] were tar-based, so you smell like a tire. Clothes would stick to you.
You're already uncomfortable with a severe case of scabbing and dry skin; the last thing you want is something else on your skin that makes you uncomfortable.
What treatment for psoriasis are you using now?
I'm on a treatment called Stelara. It's brand new, the first of its kind. I get an injection once every three months. I knew about it because I did the research. It won't cure the psoriasis, but it will help control it. Treating my psoriasis daily became extinct. I'm still living with psoriasis, but I can keep it under control in a very practical way.
Are there side effects from this particular treatment for psoriasis?
There are risks of side effects with any medication you take. Go to a doctor to discuss it. Are those risks ones you're willing to take?
Aside from modeling, you're branching out into music. Why?
Having psoriasis as a child, music was everything to me. I learned piano at 4 years old, and I played piano for 15 years.
My mother bought me my first guitar after I graduated high school. I was able to read music before I could even read words. As a child, I was able to express how I was feeling with [musical] notes.
With this flare-up being so bad – my skin is covered again – I took a timeout [from modeling] to get into something that I've always wanted – music.
What tips do you have for concealing psoriasis?
I have a lot of makeup tricks.
First, body makeup – Sally Hansen's Spray-On Legs. It's $10 at drugstores. Put it all over. [You can't get it wet] because it smudges.
Also, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize – but absolutely no moisturizers with perfumes or dyes because they'll sting. It's like putting perfume on an open cut.
The thicker the lotion, the longer it will last. Carry it with you.
What about wardrobe to make living with psoriasis easier?
I avoid black because my [scalp flakes]. If you want to wear black, put in a good conditioner before you go out that night. Make sure your scalp is nice and conditioned, so it won't flake as fast.
Do you have any other advice for young women dealing with psoriasis?
Carry an awesome personality! That's No. 1.
Because my skin was always hiding underneath my clothes, I made so much of who I was with my crazy personality – just smiling, always going, always looking up.
[Develop] a good personality if you have psoriasis because you've got a battle ahead of you.

I have already identified the B-757 in one video and B-757 debris outside and inside the Pentagon, so videos are not required to identify that aircraft as a B-757. Remember, in most aviation accidents videos are not available for examination. We have videos of American 11 and United 175 striking the WTC buildings yet there are those claiming the aircraft were missiles, drones or illusions.
I am sure they have, but radar and black box data have been examined and are available.
Also, Skyeage, I wonder what you think about this. The reason I put it in, I know statistically there are going to be some deaths if you take a large enough number of people, but doesn't this seem to you to be stretching the statistical odds?
There were a number of deaths and the victims have been identified. In addition, human remains of passengers and crew from American 77 have been recovered and identified so it is amazing that there are 911 conspiracist who continue to claim that the object which struck the Pentagon was a missile or a drone, especially after American Airlines, operator of American 77, confirmed the loss of American 77 at the Pentagon. You can go to these links and determine what happened to American 77.
Recently, I attended a going-away dinner for the commanding general of my former unit. He was in the Pentagon when American 77 struck and provided us with the rest of the story that is not available on the Internet. There is no mystery that the aircraft was American 77 as he has confirmed details on what occurred that day at the Pentagon and yet there are those who intend to lead the unknowing down the wrong path.

Two hearts thud slightly off beat. Two chests pressed close, bare.
Fingertips in all their subtlety, Brush ever so gently across
A blushing cheek. Eyes close, Tongues dance behind thirsty lips,
And trembling lungs draw quickly at heated air.
Bodies plead in Silent longing. Tongue-brushed lips
Caress one another. Limbs intertwine, seductive
Words exchanged with each Lingering touch.
Their breaths between them interchange form one chest
To the other. Wandering hands evoke tiny sounds
That slip under breath between timid lips.
Bodies tremble, unaware and afraid,
Driven by impulse, feeding from the urge.
Two hearts thud slightly off beat and two chests press close,

San Angeloans recall grief of JFK's death
Events of Nov. 22, 1963, brought lives to halt
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Standard-Times readers share their memories of Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was killed. This series of recollections will continue through Friday.
Patsy Nafe, San Angelo
My husband and I were married in June 1963 and my father was hit by a train and killed in October, and then President Kennedy in November.
We lived in an apartment in Oak Cliff, which is just across the river from downtown Dallas. I worked for the Dallas County Tax Office on Elm St. between Record St. and Market St. We closed the Tax Office on November 22nd for all of us to see the motorcade with the President. We watched it from the corner of Main St. and Record St., which was one block before the turn onto Lamar St. and then on to Elm St. where he was shot.
After the motorcade passed where we were, we were returning to the office and we heard the shots. When we got to the office our boss decided the best thing to do was to close the office and go home. I went and caught the city bus to Oak Cliff. It turns out that it was the same bus that Oswald was on because our apartment was the stop 2 blocks before the theater. After getting to the apartment and turning on the news I realized all that had happened that day. This was a lot for such a country girl such as I, and I was ready to move back to the country. It was such a sad day and is going to be embedded in my mind forever.
Barbara C. Walker, San Angelo
It is very easy for me to recall the day that President Kennedy was assassinated.
My husband was in the U.S. Navy and we had just returned to Norfolk, Virginia, after two years in Gitmo (Guantánamo Bay), Cuba. We had gone through the evacuation of Cuba and had not been back to the States long at all, about four months.
I had my TV on when they came on and stated by Walter Cronkite that the president was dead. It was like losing a family member because he had talked to the dependents that were put on a Navy transport ship, the USS. Upshur, to be sent to Norfolk and then to our home states. I felt like I had been hit in my stomach.
I and my neighbor both could not believe that this could happen here. We had a good cry together while waiting to see if our husbands would be allowed to leave the ship and come home; finally after 24 hours they did.
Warren Taylor, San Angelo
I grew up on a ranch in Western Kansas. In Nov. 1963, I was a senior in high school with many thoughts running through my head about the future. I was healthy and never missed a day of school in those four years, except on Nov. 22. My mother was very insistent that school was to be attended even if I didn't feel great. But I had a terrible sinus cold and that morning I "overruled" her and said I just would not go.
I was lying on the living room sofa when the momentous bulletin came via Walter Cronkite. He announced that the bullets of a "would be" assassin had hit the presidential motorcade. My mother was cooking lunch in the kitchen and heard the bulletin and came into the living room with an ashen look on her face. She said, "This is terrible news!" But I thought it didn't mean the president had been shot. Then the news darkened. My father was outside doing ranch work and she summoned him to the house — "History is happening." Then came the bad news, and my father just kept saying, "I cannot believe this."
Of course, we have wondered if things had been different in history had this horrible day not happened. Well, maybe and maybe not. But one thing was for certain, those innocent and tranquil days of the 1950s and early '60s were gone for good. I just wish it had not happened.
Jean McSwain, San Angelo
Nov. 22, 1963, I had gone home from my job at GTE to have lunch with my mother. My fiancé, Ross McSwain, also came over from his job as a reporter at the San Angelo Standard-Times to have lunch with us. We were to be married the next day and this was utmost in our thoughts.
My mother was watching "As the World Turns" when the news came on President Kennedy had been shot.
When the announcement of Kennedy's assassination came, we discussed whether we should make alternate plans. We decided to wait awhile before making that decision until Ross found out what reporting assignment he might get.
He went back to work and his job was to write a story focusing on local reaction to the assassination. The regular cattle sale at Producers Livestock Auction had come to a standstill, clubs and organizations canceled activities, football games were canceled. The newspaper put out an afternoon extra edition that day.
As it turned out, we didn't have to postpone our wedding. We married Nov. 23, the next afternoon. The newspaper folks attending the ceremony were very tired.
The next day, while having a late breakfast and watching TV in Fort Stockton's Ramada Inn, we saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of the Dallas police headquarters. During our honeymoon through West Texas and Big Bend, we heard the assassination replayed many times.
Although our marriage was forged in a sad time, a time of adversity, it lasted 49 years until Ross's death last year. We would have celebrated 50 years this Nov. 23. I miss him every day.
David Giddings, San Angelo
I was a senior at Polytechnic High School in Fort Worth and we were stationed on the courthouse steps to play for the president as he passed. He slowed the limo and stood and saluted us as our band played. I was a trumpet player in the band. The picture in my high school yearbook will always remind me of that day.
The principal put the news broadcast on the school public address system to every classroom.
I was in the hallway and did not hear anything until a classmate told me as I was returning to class. Then, I was able to hear the announcement that his wounds had been fatal.
Leon Harlow, San Angelo
I was attending San Angelo College (ASU) at the time of JFK's assassination. On the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, as I turned at St. Mary's Catholic Church, the corner of Avenue N and South Chadbourne Street, the news JFK had been shot was being announced on the radio. This changed my plans as I was en route to my hometown of Llano to join my parents to meet JFK on the LBJ Ranch on Nov. 23. My dad, Clinton Harlow was invited by LBJ to perform his well known Monkey & Sheepdog Act for JFK and other foreign dignitaries. It would have been a memorable opportunity for me to have met our great 35th President.
Tommy Walter, submitted online
I was 18 years old and a college freshman in Mr. Archer's Engineering Algebra class at then-San Angelo Junior College. Class was dismissed. It felt like a blow to the gut. I was supposed to go to Lake View football game out of town that night, and I went, but I really didn't want to.

Clarifying an Issue with Stock ResourcesThere appears to be a fair amount of misunderstanding on the subject of stock resources so what I would like to do today is attempt to clarify several issues which are of importance to the artists who generously provide stock resources to the public for use and hopefully dispel the confusion and misinformation which is beginning to circulate.The first issue at hand is in regards to your personal stock termsYour Personal Stock TermsOfficially deviantART maintains only one "automatic" restriction and that is "No Commercial Use" and that particular restriction can easily be overridden by the actual stock provider.As far as official policy is concerned each stock resource provider is free to attach any Terms of Use, restrictions or requirements that they see fit and our moderation staff will do the best we can to help you enforce your rules when you need that sort of assistance.We only ask a few things from you in return;P
Problems with Stock ResourcesLock, Stock, and BarrelIt unfortunately appears that it is once again time to talk about proper stock resources again. I'll be addressing this in this week's CEA Update but I wanted to discuss it a bit informally here first.I have a hope that some day the issue of stock resources will get straightened out because it really is not as complicated or as confusing as many people are currently forcing it to be, but I guess the nature of the internet pushes people to simply pull the old smash and grab.I'm going to run down a brief listing of the various problems and pit falls currently affecting the issue of stock resources in general.The Old SwitcherooNow we all know there are a good number of legitimate, legal stock resource sites out there with some being free and some being pay sites. A good chunk of you all can name them off the top of your head so I won't bother to list them myself.Now regardless of which one we might be taking about, they all share pretty much a common ru
Matters Concerning ArchivesAs many of you know, archive file types represent a means to collect together a number of computer files and package them together for the purpose of backup, to transport them to some other location, or simply to compress them so that they take up less space. Many of you here in the deviantART community who offer stock resources, applications, themes and other desktop customization options are all very familiar with them and use them extensively, whether your file type of choice be .zip, .rar, or any one of another dozen options.Depending on how regularly you submit and what sort of file type you use when you do so you may or may not have noticed a change- that change being that submissions with file types ending with .exe are no longer being accepted during the the submission process and if you've attempted to submit an archive file which was password protected you've noticed that those protected files are also being rejected during submission (alt
Clarifying 3D Stock, Tubes and RendersWith the growing abundance of affordable 3D modeling and rendering programs it was only a matter of time until generous artists began offering finished 3D renders as stock artwork for others to use in their works.While the generosity of these 3D stock artists is to be applauded there are others who taint the 3D stock movement by offering chopped up works which rightfully belong to others. Ill attempt to draw a distinctive line between the two types of 3D stock which you will find available.Be aware that your choice to use or offer the wrong type of 3D stock can result in your submissions being removed and even action being taken against your account.The acceptable form of 3D stock is one in which you, the submitting artist, has personally posed, textured and rendered the model or scene in question. This involves the purchase of a program capable of handling and rendering figures, models and textures or the use of an open source program capable of the same feats. Regardl
Clarifying Policy Series 3- StockClarifying PolicySeries 3"Taking Stock"As any photo manipulator and many wallpaper artists can tell you, having access to photographs and third party artworks is crucial to their chosen genre of art. These third party photographs and artworks are often called "Stock Photos", "Stock Art", or "Clip Art" and there can be some occasional confusion about what pieces can be used and what pieces cannot be used so I'll attempt to shed a little light on the situation today.Collecting ResourcesYour best option is to collect your stock from established (and legal) stock photography websites but often it can be difficult to tell an actual stock website from one which is illegally offering copyrighted material under the pretense that it is stock. Knowing the difference will determine whether or not your photo manipulation gets removed by the C&E staff.What is Royalty Free?Many legitimate stock websites will offer 'Royalty Free' photographs or art for you
How (And Where) To Report DeviationsThe Galleries here at deviantART.com receive, on average, around a hundred thousand submissions every day- any way you look at it that is a lot of creative works coming in every minute of every day. Among this outpouring of creativity which we call Deviations there are, inevitably, works which could be potential problems and when members of the community find deviations which could be troublesome for one reason or another it is only natural to want to bring them to the attention of the staff here at deviantART.Because of the various ways that a deviation might be a problem we'll focus on only one specific issue in this blog, that issue being the subject of copyright infringement.Now we've already tried to explain the ins and outs of copyright in our copyright policy so if you haven't read that particular page yet I'd encourage you to do so now (you agree to obey the rules and restrictions laid out there every time you submit
Cyberbullying and Your DeviationsThe term "cyberbullying" was first coined and defined by Canadian educator and anti-bullying activist Bill Belsey, as "the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm others."While the actions which make up cyberbullying can vary depending on who you are talking with or what website you are on at the time, as far as we here at deviantART are concerned the act of cyberbullying involves a range of behavior from hostile and aggressive communications, to threats, sexual remarks, hate speech, ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule or humiliation.The practice of cyberbullying is also not limited to children, when perpetrated by adults toward adults these same behaviors are sometimes referred to as cyberstalking or cyberharassment but regardless of what name you attach to it, cyberbullying has grown into an increasing problem since the behavior was first ident
My DeviantArt StorySo, I know the "My DeviantArt Story" thing was supposed to be done on our actual birthday but on that particular day when I sat down at my computer I had a ton of stuff which needed my attention and my personal journal CSS happened to be broken and I had no time to fix it up to display properly (It serves me right for letting months pass by between journal entries) but I wanted to participate and I decided I would just do it "later" and then somehow it's now August 21st and it's finally "later".My Story actually starts way back in 1999. I came home from a long day at work at my retail job to discover that some of my friends had upgraded their personal home computers and had collaborated among themselves to put together a desktop set for me from the equipment which they were replacing so suddenly I had my very first computer.Being an artist one of them gave me their old copy of Adobe Photoshop 5 which they weren't using any more and gave me a quick rundown of how to
The Policy on Copying (tl;dr warning)Once Again....I'm writing a new journal prompted by a reaction to a policy, which is a semi-regular feature here and which is the main reason I think so many people actually watch my account (since I'm fairly inactive with the Art as of late). I'd like to thank those people who actually watch my journal space and who actually read my news and updates because I do try to disseminate very important bits of information and provide some sort of view about why CEA functions the way it does.Those of you who take the time to be educated and informed make it all worthwhile, not to mention the fact that you provide a stunning contrast to those who snap off based on rumor and misinformation and who speak without first actually digesting the situation properly.And, due to those people who don't bother to read we've once again watched a wave of misinformation and drama sweep across the community and tick off a whole bunch of people for no reason whatsoever.Firstly, I want to state that I'm not
Stock and Resources: Policy ClarificationThe Stock and Resources community is an integral part of deviantART, both for having an active community of its own as well as providing high quality stock to all deviants. As this community has grown so much over the years, so has the amount of invalid stock and resources that have been provided by some deviants. The Stock and Resources community feels like this reflects negatively on them, the volunteers have a hard time trying to teach people about valid stock and how to use it correctly, and it gives an appearance that deviantART Staff tolerate so-called "art theft" or copyright infringement.In this article our aim is to reinforce our policies regarding stock and stock use and clear up some misconceptions.Stock and Resource submissions to deviantART:What are Invalid Stock and Resources?In short, invalid stock or resources are anything which you do not have full permission to upload. This incl
So You Wanna be a Stocker?Welcome to the first "So You Wanna be a Stocker?" article! I asked some of the biggest names in stock some typical questions that new stockers might have, in hopes that their answers will help stockers new and old learn a bit! I asked them different questions with some overlap in hopes of getting differingopinions.Our interviewees today are faestock, Tasastock, and SenshiStock.1. Is an expensive camera necessary?Tasastock says, "No, but they are damned fun to play with! You can get a decent camera for a decent price nowadays that will shoot good quality images in the right conditions. Obviously they're not good for low-light or anything capturing movement, but if you handle them right you can make do with an ordinary camera, I've known plenty of people to do so."SenshiStock says, "I don't know much about cameras, but the best photographs you can take are always going to be the ones that

Stock and Resources UpdatesLETS TALK ABOUT STOCK "REQUESTS"Every year we get excited, eager, passionate new stock providers entering our small but growing community, and every year these new stock models in particular get targeted by a small group of "requesters" Those of us who have been on the site for more than a few years recognise the types of "requests" I'm talking about and know to absolutely avoid them at all costs, but its something that I've seen more and more regularly over the last few months, and its definitely a concern.There are standard "pose requests" that are NOT requested for the "artist" to work from. They are simply asking you to take photos of yourself in provocative poses so they can get off to your stock.Firstly - please keep in mind that the images you are providing to artists are STOCK ART - they are first and foremost designed to provide artists with useable, useful references, either for traditional art, or digital art or whatever media they choose to create

Did You Know - Community VolunteerCommunity VolunteerCommunity Volunteers (short CV) are deviants that help the community out by providing them with a specific contact point in relation to galleries, chat and forumsEvery CV only acts within the areas they are trained in. That means that generally, a gallery CV will not moderate chatrooms or forums or give DDs for artworks in other galleries (unless having permission). And no chat/forum CV will give DDs. In some instances, some volunteers are trained in Chats & Forums and Galleries and have permission to cross-over. To be certain, you can view the whole roster of volunteers here and see what area a volunteer is representing.Any volunteer can be easily recognized by the heart, next to their username.Community Volunteers are regular people, just like everyone else, with a few special pr

Either way it brings its own special issues to stock providers and photomanipulators alike, so I've highlighted some very important points you should take into consideration below. Precut stock is in its very nature "EDITED" therefore its is no longer in its original photographic form and should therefore be posted to resources/clipart OR stock/premade backgrounds/.. NOT to the usual stock galleries which should be reserved for original photography that has only very minor post production edits such as exposure/brightness/contrast etc. alterations according to DA's gallery definitions.

I just have a question so I can make sure I don't tell a friend of mine the wrong answer. My friend owns a paintball business that is on his mom's land. He was asking me if he needed a carry permit to be able to keep a gun on him or in his business to make it legal. I guess a friend of his families is a cop and told him that he needed a permit to do so.
Since this is private/personal property and he has permission from his mom, wouldn't he be able to carry or conceal with no problems? Just want to send him in the right direction so any help is appreciated.

Credit: Courtesy Populous
The architecture firm Populous, though, designed the London Olympics with Beijing's faults in mind. It's the first so-called "the temporary Olympics." In London, Populous built the Olympic Stadium to hold 80,000 seats for the games, and then to shrink down to 20,000 afterward. Two-thirds of the inflatable basketball arena, designed by London firm WilkinsonEyre.Architects and nicknamed "the marshmallow" will be dismantled or reused after the games. And the volleyball arena is in the middle of the historic Horse Guards Parade, where the queen's brithday is celebrated each year—and where it would be impossible to build otherwise. "London said, we're only going to build new if it's going to be long term," Keas said.
Beyond the benefits of temporary structures to the city, Washington, D.C., has neighborhoods that could gain from some Olympic love. As happened with East London, a more-neglected Washington neighborhood could be turned into a more-developed and better-connected place to live and enjoy.
Washington also has needs for stadium upgrades. The Washington soccer team, D.C. United, wants to put a new stadium in up-and-coming Southwest D.C., which would automatically create a sportscentric vibe; and an Olympic Stadium could easily double as a new soccer playfield. This would leave D.C. United's current stadium, RFK Stadium, in an underdeveloped Capitol Hill neighborhood, up for rehab for other Olympic sports. Another option is to renovate RFK to become an Olympic stadium itself, and then use it to bring the Washington Redskins back to city center, a dream of Gray's and other D.C. politicians. Kill a flock of birds with one stone by creating a world-class Olympics stadium that could transform into an arena for a local sports team.
Some of the obstacles that Gray sees are actually opportunities. Yes, security would need to be watertight for a D.C.-hosted games, but what city in our country has a better start on security than the capital? Superficially, road blocks, bollards, and Secret Service abound. Substantially, underground bunkers, cameras, and plans are already in place for preventing attacks and unwanted disruptions.
And as for the expected overwhelming influx of people into the city., D.C. has two answers: One, London's influx of people didn't occur in the numbers expected; and two, D.C. population triples daily already as people commute to work. In addition, efforts are under way to add a streetcar connecting one D.C. neighborhood with downtown; the streetcar could be pushed along to aid in Olympics transportation. There has also been a plan afoot for years to redevelop a 25-acre portion of D.C. called the McMillan Sand Filtration Plant; a national Olympics committee could easily step in with funding to develop the area for the Olympics in 2024, and for residents in 2025 and beyond.
Lastly, for those who want D.C. to gain statehood, and thereby have their own elected representatives, a Washington Olympics would call attention and possible support to their plight. My brother-in-law, for one, wants to take the statehood issue even further: If D.C. residents can't get their own representatives, then he says that they should at least get their own Olympics team—as does the unincorporated United States territory of Puerto Rico.
Add to all that the advantage of all the nearby embassies: athletes would have built-in support from their home counties. (Bonus for locals: embassy-watching parties!)
Gray may be a dissenter, but the idea of hosting the games in our area has support from other officials, including Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who said that D.C. "would do a phenomenal job" hosting the games. The most important reason, though, to host the Olympics in the United States capital, is for the same reason that it's important that this summer's games are held in the United Kingdom's capital: national pride. As columnist Robery McCartney wrote in The Washington Post today, "the challenge is enormous, but the rewards could be golden." (And isn't it always challenging to host the games, no matter what city you are?)
I can already see it now from my TV: a new swimming pool, red-white-and-blue on its façade, with the Capitol dome in the background, silhouetted by the morning sun. And crowds cheering the next Michael Phelps to gold, chanting, "USA! USA! USA!"

The official NEYRZ roster consist of Static G., Shaleezy, GQ, Mystery, Lemanuell, J-Felix, and DJ Set. Each member of the group has their own unique style and swagger about them, and together they all bring a new type of sound from St. Petersburg and to the Hip-Hop world in general. NEYRZ stands for the "New Era of Young RyderZ". As a group, they are determined to prove themselves a force to be reckoned with. The group possesses a wide variety and various styles, while also creating cool, fun music that all sorts of people can relate to. Their motto is "Destined for Greatness", which is their ultimate goal they live by and strive for with each and every song!
