Then + Now: Celebrities Who Went Through Awkward Phases [PHOTOS]
Check out our gallery of celebrities who went through awkward phases only to transform into beautiful adults.
The unconventional and irreverent Kesha might have a reputation as a glitter-covered, electro-pop party girl, but she sought out a career in music with singular purpose. The singer-songwriter and rapper was born Kesha Rose Sebert in 1987 in Los Angeles. She was raised outside Nashville by her songwriter mother and quit high school to pursue her dreams. Kesha (formerly stylized as Ke$ha) paid her dues as a backup singer and songwriter for other artists before making her breakthrough with an uncredited appearance on Flo Rida's 'Right Round' in 2009. Her debut album, 2010's 'Animal,' hit the top of the charts and its lead single, the Auto-Tune-heavy 'Tik Tok,' was the year's best-selling single. A stint in rehab in early 2014 for an eating disorder didn't stop her from having a No. 1 hit with Pitbull during that time, 'Timber.'
Check out our gallery of celebrities who went through awkward phases only to transform into beautiful adults.
Kesha is pretty much the human equivalent of a glitter explosion, so it came as no surprise to us when we found out that she left a trail of it in her wake after attending Los Angeles' Natural History Museum this past weekend.
Things are continuing to get ugly in the war of words between famed record producer Dr. Luke and Kesha.
In a new development with the Kesha and Dr. Luke sexual assault case, it looks like Kesha's mother, Pebe Sebert, is now countersuing Dr. Luke for emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Lily Allen decided to draw attention to the sexual assault suit Kesha filed against Dr. Luke earlier this month by dressing up as Dr. Luke for Halloween. Well, her version of Dr. Luke, anyway.
It looks like the Kesha/Dr. Luke drama is getting even messier.
In the continued back-and-forth lawsuit between Kesha and Dr. Luke, it appears as though Kesha refuted claims of sexual assault from Dr. Luke during an unrelated lawsuit three years ago.
The disturbing content of an email allegedly written by Kesha's mother, Pebe Sebert, was made public earlier today (Oct. 16).
Kesha is suing her music producer Dr. Luke, claiming that he sexually, physically and verbally assaulted her over the past 10 years.
We are loving Kesha more and more these days!
The 27-year-old singer continues to glow and look healthy months after battling an eating disorder and entering rehab as a result. On Thursday, the pop star made her way around New York City showcasing her new, shiny light blue hair as she made appearances on television to promote her ABC music competition show, 'Rising Stars.'

From long border lineups to ferry queues, it's been a busy day out there as Metro Vancouver residents head to their holiday destinations, but waiting times were returning to normal late Friday.
The Easter long weekend is considered one of the busiest for travelling, but many traffic reporters were calling Friday's waiting times at the border some of the longest seen in years.
Earlier Friday, traffic was backed up at the border crossing with an estimated wait of at more than two hours at Peace Arch and Pacific Highway, but the wait had dropped to under 15 minutes by 5:30 p.m. Wait times at Aldergrove and Sumas had also dropped back to well under 15 minutes.
At Peace Arch during the busiest time, vehicles were reportedly backed up to 20th Avenue. Lindsay Stack tweeted to The Sun that she was stuck for two hours in the queue at the Peace Arch crossing and still hadn't reached the border, adding that traffic was moving in bursts.
By 5:30 p.m., BC Ferries, which prepared for the busy Easter weekend with over 50 extra sailings, was also reporting that the day's earlier full sailings on several routes - including Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay to Langdale – had tapered off and weren't expected to pick up again until Monday afternoon when most travellers head home to Metro Vancouver and mainland B.C.
"Pretty much everybody has gotten to where they want to go for the weekend," said media relations director Deborah Marshall. "(Saturday) and Sunday will be pretty quiet."
Adding to traffic headaches were two minor accidents on the Lionsgate Bridge around midday, which caused traffic to slow to a crawl with single-lane traffic.
For those residents who are travelling to and from work this statutory holiday, TransLink reminds riders that transit service is operating on a reduced holiday/Sunday schedule and there is no West Coast Express train.
Meanwhile, ICBC is asking drivers to be cautious and prepare for the extra traffic on the roads. According to the agency, an average of four people are killed and 630 injured in B.C. on the Easter long weekend.
ICBC urges people planning to have a few bevies this weekend to arrange a designated driver or plan another safe way home.
For those hosting a family get-together or party, John Dickinson, ICBC's director of road safety, suggests stocking up on plenty of non-alcoholic drinks to give the designated drivers.

Burning Question: What Wood You Do?
When it comes to your bedroom, do you prefer plush wall to wall carpet OR handsome hardwood floors?
One can be cool and refreshing in the summer, the other warm and cozy in the winter. Carpeting can be softer on the feet while wood flooring can be easier to keep clean. We'd love to know what you guys think. Do tell.

I love the look of the hardwood floor, but if I had that in my bedroom I'd need a nice warm rug to step on when I got out of bed :)
I also love the look of a wood floor, but we're going with carpet in our next house. Not only because it just feels cozier to us, but also because we won't hear the dog's nails tip-tapping all over the floor all night long. I do love the way wood looks, though, especially with a nice iron bed like in your picture.
Wood floors with a soft, plushy rug – the best of both worlds!
How about a mix of hardwood with a nice area rug under the bed?
Ditto Kirstin!
Hardwood wherever possible. All four of us suffer from allergies and hardwood is much easier to keep clean. Our bedroom is the last hold out with the original carpet (from the former owners who had a dog). No matter how much I vacuum, it will never be clean enough. I sneeze alot if I sit on my bedroom floor! As soon as we can afford it, that floor will be wood too!
We have carpet now. I could really go either way, but just vacuuming carpet is much easier than vacuuming and mopping wood.
I'm a big fan of carpet in the bedroom (which is what we have now)… but wood is just so nice!
wood for sure! we have serious dustmite allergies and carpet in the bedroom would kill us. we are actually trying to decide if we want to try a bedroom rug or keep it bare…
Wood all the way!!!! It just looks so much sleeker and cleaner…not to mention that it IS cleaner (easier to clean and doesn't collect dust the way carpet can). Yes, it can get chilly in the winter, but that's what cozy wool socks and big fuzzy slippers are for!
i grew up with all carpet.
my house now is all hardwood floors.
handsdown i'm a hardwood floor lover. so much more rustic and natural.
when hardwood floors age, it adds to the character of the house. when carpet ages, it just looks gross and smells.
Definately carpet for the bedroom. I think it's easier to keep clean than wood since things are more disguised in it (i guess that's kind of gross though). But mainly we pick carpet for our bedrooms because of the coziness of it, there are plenty of other places in the house for the handsome hardwood floor look. For us, the bedroom is all about comfort!!
What about laminate flooring? I would have loved to have put hardwood in our apartment (and have sworn I will in our next place, which will be more permanent), but in the interests of time and money we went with laminate. We have a dog, and it's far easier to keep clean, plus I like the look better.
I would love wood floors. Unfortunately, with the weather here, no one does that. When we asked the builder at the showhome to price out hardwood for the upstairs level for our (hopefully) new house the other day, he said they had never done that, "no one ever wants that – you're kidding right??" I infact was not, but scoffed when they gave me the price.
So in the meantime, we're doing carpet. If we ever get a random, large sum of money, I'm switching it out. Then I'll buy a plush little rug for either side of the bed and make sure we keep our slippers nearby if we need to.
Personally I love wood floors, but I am always cold especially in our brutle IL winters. I would opt for a nice large rug to put on the wood floors…when I step out of bed in the morning it is nice to have something soft under my feet.
I love the look of wood floors, by my feet appreciate something soft and warm to land on in the morning.
I'm a fan of carpet in bedrooms. I love wood in the living/dining areas (and home offices), tile in the wet areas- kitchen, bathrooms, mudroom etc and carpet in bedrooms.
Carpet all the way. I grew up on carpet and have since been in and out of several hardwood-floored apartments, and I can't stand how cold and hard they are! Plus, every single little thing sticks to your feet when you walk across, so you have to be wearing something (socks, slippers) no matter what. I hate the dust bunnies too! They come back so fast…I will always pick having to vacuum over sweeping or mopping.
I always put carpet down in the bedroom, but its just not the same. Sigh. Can't wait to own!
Our entire house is either wood floors or tile (bathrooms), so when we choose the new flooring for our master bedroom remodel we went with carpet. It will be nice to have something plush under my feet for a change!
When my husband and I built our new home 2 years ago we agreed on hardwood and tile for all flooring…except in the bedroom. I wanted hardwood, he insisted on wall to wall carpeting for the same reason many others have listed–he wanted something warm and cozy to step on when he got out of bed. A rug would have served his purpose. I've regretted giving in ever since and as soon as finances allow I will be ripping out the carpet and putting down wood. I prefer it for aesthetic and cleanliness reasons.
We are actually debating this right now. Our house got damaged in the last hurricane and we have to decide if we want to go back to carpet, or splurge on the wood…
I like the wood but its so darn expensive
I'm currently struggling with this issue, and hardwood (or painted floors!) is started to edge out carpet. I love carpet in bedrooms, but with pets and a baby, keeping it pet-hair and stain-free is virtually impossible. And there's nothing grosser than a carpet full of dog hair.
I've had both, but the carpet was gross in about a year's time. Wood you can really clean. Carpet, not so much. You can put down beautiful area rugs, persian rugs, etc, and change the whole look of the room because the wood backdrop is timeless. Then, if they get damaged, you can send them out for cleaning, or get different ones. With wood, you can dust under furniture without moving the furniture. If you spill something on carpet and you clean the stain, it cleans the stain on top, but it does not completely clean through the padding, so the dirt is still there.
I'll never go back to carpet.
I currently have a carpet in my bedroom and I can't wait to get rid of it and install a hardwood floor like I have in the rest of my home. No matter how many times I vacuum, it constantly attracts dust. Also, I have a cat so it is twice as hard to keep it clean.
Wood all the way! We removed all of our carpet for health reasons and haven't gone back!

Learn more ways to add value to your home.
More in Home Improvement
Home Improvements: $2,000-$3,000
Tip 1: Kitchen or bath remodels are always a safe bet.
Improving your home is a solid investment at any level — but if you have up to three thousand dollars to spend, a great place to start is by upgrading either the kitchen or bath. Either room is a good choice and you don't have to do a complete floor-to-ceiling remodel to reap financial benefits. In fact, modest kitchen or bath updates can be your best bet for a big return, netting, on average, an 80-85 percent return.
Tip 2: Protect your investment.
For most people, their home is their single largest investment, so treat it that way. Hire a financial planner to work out a strategy for protecting your investment by analyzing all of the financing options that are available. A financial whiz can tell you if you should refinance to lower your monthly payments or pull out some equity to pay for value-adding improvements.
Tip 3: Bring the outdoors in.
Consider turning two standard windows into an opening for beautiful French or sliding glass doors. Full-view glass doors really brighten up the space and a light and airy room is always more attractive. Also, with a view of the outdoors, the room will feel much larger. Another bonus is that modern doors are energy-efficient, cutting down on heating and cooling costs. That means more cash in your pocket now and a financial bonus should you decide to sell.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Just wondering if somebody could suggest a quite modern cut on VAG Rounded, we currently have VAG, Cocon and Co Headline but would like something quite similar to Dalton Maags creation for Telewest ( http://www.daltonmaag.com/about/commissioning/case_studies/telewest.html )
Any help would be more than appreciated.
Blatant self-publicity, but they fit the bill.
Edit: That last bit on Akira's post wasn't there when I posted this.

Ps. thanks Akira ;^)
You're welcome, Nick ;^)

Note: This story was last updated at 12:30 p.m. March 30.
Despite calls for an investigation, the Oak Ridge City Council on Friday approved a proposal from a University of Tennessee agency to review—rather than investigate—the Oak Ridge Police Department, focusing on turnover, morale, and administrative policies.
A series of motions by City Council member Trina Baughn, who has pushed hardest for an investigation of the ORPD and its police chief, were rejected. Among other things, Baughn's proposals would have required all Police Department employees to spend at least 10 minutes with the investigator, regardless of whether they wanted to say anything; sought to interview all former workers who have left since May 2011, when Police Chief Jim Akagi was hired; given those interviewed a chance to participate in a "no confidence" vote against the chief; and look into Akagi's previous history, including his prior employment with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Council also rejected a motion by Baughn to investigate the allegations included in a grievance filed by a former police officer and claims made in letters by former officers.
The 30-day review that was approved Friday was first proposed as a general concept by Oak Ridge City Council member Kelly Callison during a February meeting, with more detail added since then.

Most of the scenes from the movie were filmed in Petaluma, so that's the motivation behind this event. It's always a good turn out of neat cars, and there are always some of the original cars and stars from the movie. I heard they cut the entries off at 410 cars for this year's show. It's fun to see where so many of the scenes were shot, and to see how much or how little things have changed since 1973 when the movie was made. I drove Doug's red & white 55 Chevy today, and he drove William's red 40 Ford coupe since Will couldn't make it. We lucked out with the parking, and were right across the street from the location where they shot the scene of the cop car snapping the rear axle out from under it while roaring out of "Jerry's Cherries" used car lot. That location was a vacant lot then, and still is. Hasn't changed much at all. The wild-looking topless flamed 40 Ford pickup belongs to a friend of Tom West's. He generously let us drive it around the cruise. -Craig Owens 7

Although they are one of two foundation clubs still present in the NRL today, the Sydney Roosters are the only side in the history of Australian Rugby League to play in every season since their inception in 1908 as Eastern Suburbs. The Roosters have won 12 premierships with their most recent being in 2002, when a bloodied Brad Fittler led Sydney to victory. Under new coach Brian Smith, the Roosters went all the way to the Grand Final in 2010, only to denied by St George Illawarra Dragons.
In 2014 the Roosters again reached the NRL finals, finishing the regular season in first place on points differential (both the Roosters and Sea Eagles finished the season on 36 points). The Roosters lost their opening elimination final to the Penrith Panthers 19-18, however progressed through the semi finals where they controversially defeated the Cowboys 31-30. The side was eventually knocked out of the 2014 finals series by eventual premiers the South Sydney Rabbitohs 32-20 in the preliminary finals.

Opinions sought re: 'jazzing up my fireplace'
laurie_growerAugust 8, 2007
My fireplace currently has a non descript black slate surround and hearth.
I would like to "jazz" it up a bit by refacing it with granite (a color w/ black in it like verde or uba tuba) but I was planning to leave the black slate hearth as is.
So my question is: is it ok to have a surround that matches or compliments the hearth but is not exactly the same material? Looking forward to your response. Design suggestions welcome......
PS I'm attempting to do this myself, thinking it's fairly straightforward, use thinset to fasten the "legs" and then the top piece, am I correct? Thanks
Hi here is a link to view a picture of my fireplace that needs help. Laurie

Are "Dolls" slaves?

Location: Nashville,TN
Re: Are "Dolls" slaves?
For the question: are they slaves? To some degree they allowed themselves into that. They knew going in they couldn't "opt" out. Some like Alpha who were prison inmates recruited I could see as more slaves than those who agreed, either willingly or under duress.
To me this question is what makes shows like this good. Some moral ambiguity to make us all think and rethink what we believe we already know as definitions for things.
My main answer: NO
intrinsical wrote:
I voted yes mainly because actives have no way to "opt out" of their contract. And like someone said above, the company can simply keep actives around long past their contracted period of servitude quite simply because the actives would have no recollection of the contract, or its duration.
I don't recall off hand now but did Millie/November seem to act as if she knew Adelle and had fulfilled her contract at the season close? I know I don't recall her, at the point we come into the conversation, acting weirded out by what was going on.
I have a thought on that scene: Spoiler
Is it possible that Adelle/Topher tricked Ballard by just programming November with an alt mode of who she was to trick Ballard into thinking he got his way? We are told Miracle Laurie will have some role this season.

Another 2,300 users downloaded the Little Boxes iPhone app last month. during the month of November, creators Betsy Cross and Will Cervarich have opted to keep the mobile directory of over 200 participating little box stores operational through December.
"This year's Little Boxes really showed us the level of consumer demand for shopping locally," said Betsy Cross, Little Boxes co-founder. "We want to make it easy for people to use Little Boxes as a resource to discover and explore our city's awesome retail scene."

Administrative Report K E A N U N I V E R S I T Y The Office of Continuing and Professional Education experienced a marked increase in the number of parents who selected Kean University's Summer Fun for Kids camps for their children's education and entertainment during the long summer. Four hundred children ages 5 to 16 attended camps ranging from Fun with Math and Reading to Robotics and Computer Aided Design (CAD). In addition, several programs targeted high school youth, ranging from visual arts courses to SAT preparation. "Participants had the opportunity to attend a wide variety of enrichment activities that were offered on a weekly basis beginning June 26 and ending August 17," said Dr. Roseann Bucciarelli, acting assistant dean of the Office of Continuing and Professional Education in the Nathan Weiss Graduate College. "This year we expanded the Kean Kids Summer Fun Program and offered twice as many courses as we did last summer, and our enrollments almost doubled. Our students came from many counties in the region including Union, Essex, Middlesex, Somerset, Bergen, Morris, Passaic and Mercer. A number of them were related to Kean University faculty, staff and students," Bucciarelli said. "The Kean Kids Summer Fun Program gives children and youth the opportunity to experience the Kean University campus while they participate in fun, enriching activities, as well as meet and become friends with children from a wide variety of backgrounds." continued on page 2 Four Hundred Kids and Teens Had Summer Fun at Kean A Record of Policy and Information on Events Published by Univer sity Relations One could almost hear a pin drop in Matthew Androlowicz's chess class where 11 boys and girls pondered the next moves. Androlowicz, a 6th grade teacher in Elizabeth, N.J., started a chess club there six years ago and has been teaching either club or individual chess since. Androlowicz is now pursuing a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies at Kean. KEAN STUDENTS COMPLETE SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIPS WITH PFIZER CONSUMER HEALTHCARE Pictured from (left to right) are Kean students Jessica Rieck and Ricky Cordero, with Ronald S. Elowitz, adjunct professor in Kean's Department of Design and a visual manager in Pfizer's Consumer Healthcare Division in Morris Plains, N.J. Rieck and Cordero recently completed an industrial design internship program developed by Elowitz, titled Listerine Pocket Paks Redesign Project, at Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. They recently presented their extensive research and package redesign concepts to the company's senior marketing management, who chose the students' designs over those submitted by an external professional industrial design agency and will undergo national bases testing. The global director of Listerine Brand management was so impressed with the quality of the students' work that he has announced that Pfizer will provide another internship to Kean students during the fall semester. Previous industrial design internships have placed students with Ingersoll-Rand, Liberty Science Center, Schering Plough, HS Design, Rock-Tenn and OnSet Design, as well as other corporate sponsors. Week of August 21, 2006 Produced by the Office of University Relations online at www.kean.edu Summer Fun at Kean continued from page 1 Roly-Poly These Robots Comic Illustration Draws a Crowd Instructor Ian Dorian taught campers the process of Comic Illustration and Storytelling for High School Students aged 14 to 16. The two-week class, offered by the Office of Continuing and Professional Education from July 31 to August 10, had students' imagination fired up as they learned to first write the story line and then to turn it into comic-strip panels. "We talk about proportion of figures, lighting and mood, camera angles, and the pacing of the story," Dorian said. "The students are all very talented." A graduate of the Kean University B.F.A. program in 1997, Dorian is also an instructor at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in Dover, N.J., where he teaches anatomy and advanced techniques. He also draws trading cards for Marvel Comics. This is the second year he is teaching Comic Illustration at Kean. "It is the only such course that I know of in the area," he said. Twenty children in the Roly-Poly Robot class taught by Jackie Salerno had their hands full of wires, chips and plastic parts while assembling their round robots which are designed to run, turn over and upright themselves again. The "roboteers" also assembled a plastic car for bumper-racing. "It has been a great experience for me and the kids," said Salerno, a 2005 graduate of the Kean College of Education majoring in history who has enrolled in the Kean master's program in special education beginning this fall. Sciensational Workshops hired Salerno to teach the robotics class this summer, her second year as a Summer Fun for Kids instructor. Head Over Heels About Yoga Kathleen Carroll taught 11 kids the practice of yoga. The children perfected their lotus, cobra and downward-dog postures with enthusiasm. "I teach them to focus and calm themselves, which is also important for adults before reacting to that person who just cut you off in traffic," said Carroll, an elementary school teacher in Irvington, N.J., and a graduate student enrolled in the Reading Specialization program at Kean. This is the second summer Carroll has taught Summer Fun for Kids. Last year she taught public speaking. Rocket Scientists Have a Blast Aspiring rocket scientist, Noah Speed, 8, of Montclair, N.J., pictured here with his mother, Kim Speed, is a veteran Kean Kids Summer Fun camper. He had a blast when he and 16 other campers launched their rockets in the Vaughn Eames parking lot on August 17. Under supervision by Donnie Barnes, regional manager for Science Adventures, the kids had built the rockets themselves, culminating in the launch. "It took three days," Noah explained. "My son is very interested in all things electronics and renewable energy," Kim Speed said. "On the way here he suggested that we get solar panels on our car." In addition to rocketry, Noah has taken "snap circuits" and math class. Speed was a little concerned about having Noah spend the entire day away from home, but was told not to worry. The children in the Kean camps are escorted from class to class, and their lunchbreak is supervised. 2 SEPTEMBER 18, 2006 THE SEVENTH ANNUAL KEAN UNIVERSITY GOLF CLASSIC For more information, call the Kean University Foundation at 908-737-3340 or visit keanfoundation.org/

HTTP POST Hangs with Modsecurity 2.9 and Nginx
Dear All, Have anyone encountered the same issue? I tried to upload some small size file to my web application through the nginx proxy with mod security enabled(DetectionOnly) and found my http post request was hanging and an empty response was returned. I tried to use recommend mod security conf, however, things didn't work at all. Therefore, I tried to use tcpdump to inspect the packets between the proxy and the backend server, I found most of the packets were sent to the proxy, and less were being forward to the backend server. It seems mod security has trouble to forward the request body(POST DATA) to my backend server. Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

1998 BMW 520 • 135,000 miles
1998 BMW E39, smoke under the bonnet when going up hill or driving hard. Replaced rocker cover gasket already. It looks like there is a leak, but cant find it. Smoke is on increase day by day that means leak is getting bigger. But there is no smoke on normal running or downhill, so far. There is also oil burning smell.
August 16, 2012.
August 16, 2012.
Check the exhaust system for presence of engine oil. If any oil drops onto the exhaust system, smoking would occur. If there are any leaks, you need to locate the source and rectify it.
Aug 16, 2012.
Aug 16, 2012.
Try to find the source of leak, There is lot of oil deposit around CVV, Oil return hose and dipstick. What are the most common failure among these? Can the leaks on this side of the engine produce smoke under the bonnet?
Aug 16, 2012.
Aug 16, 2012.
Yes if they can get to the exhaust.
You would need to clean up and recheck the source of leaks. Anything that has a connection are possible leaking areas.

Why Casting the 'Old-Fashioned' Way Is Important
I often feel hemmed in by the business of having to package films with star talent and completely bypass the casting process to get films made. Too rarely do we get the opportunity to open the casting process up like we did and truly dig deep to find the best ...
The Internet Is Your Audition Room
Casting director Heidi Levitt shares the ways actors can audition and get discovered online.
5 Reasons to Consider Working a Theme Park
Theme parks like Disney can be a great way for actors to get a variety of skills under their belts, from singing and dancing to character work and magic tricks.
Why Technology Is the New Casting Industry Standard
Since I'm involved with actors worldwide, I've seen a shift lately in terms of an abundance of "too-good-to-be-true" casting notices, i.e. sites that claim that if you pay their membership fee they will introduce you to casting directors.

I have been working at Motley Fool full-time (more than 5 years)
It's a great environment to solve problems. The management really cares about it's employees and the benefits show that.
There's a lot of dead weight. Turnover is very low because it's a great place to work. Management, seemingly, gets attached to employees that have either outlasted their value or were never valuable to begin with. This demotivates "high-performers" and makes it difficult to hire and retain quality employees.

You get to work with brilliant people in a collegial and collaborative atmosphere. There's a culture of innovation and hard work (which is nicely counterbalanced by a culture of fun). You'll have great work/life balance. Senior management/HR concerns themselves with recruiting the best and making sure their careers develop here, instead of enforcing inane blanket policies that make no sense. While most of your moves will be lateral here, there's room to move into roles that suit your talents and passions.Cons
We as a company tend to focus on the new and shiny, sometimes at the expense of maintaining older projects/products. I think it's something we're continually working on as a group.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I am trying to get all subcategories of a Magento category and display their name and image.
So far I have:
$children = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories(28);
foreach ($children as $category) {
echo "name: " . $category->getName() . "
";
echo "image: " . $category->getImageUrl() . "
";
$category->getName() works, but
$category->getImageUrl() doesn't seem to.
I am following the Magento docs reference of the catalog / category model (see Mage:Catalog along the top then Mage_Catalog_Model_Category at the side).
It clearly states that
string getImageUrl () is an available method of the class, however I obviously can't call it.
I'd like to know why in the above this method isn't available, and also more generally, why a lot of methods don't seem to be available from a class so I can understand how to solve these recurring problems in the future.
So, my question is, what does the above need to make the
getImageUrl method available, and, generally how can I identify what needs adding to make other methods that are in the docs but unavailable by 'default' in the Magento framework?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Best Highbrow Architectural Tour Guide (2011)
Los Angeles Nomadic Division
No offense to conservancies or tour companies, but how much better would it be to experience Los Angeles' architectural treasures as a guest rather than a voyeur? That's what Los Angeles Nomadic Division, aka LAND, makes possible. A transient arts nonprofit founded in 2009 by New York transplants, LAND began hosting its "Nomadic Nights" events in fall 2010. Each one takes place at a rarely seen landmark and features an artist-devised twist. At John Lautner's Garcia House, for example, artist Karl Haendel staged a Julia Child–inspired Beef Bourguignon cooking demo. At Rudolf Schindler's Buck House, Jonah Freeman gave a lecture on the (fictional) history of psychedelic drugs. On the roof of the Petite Ermitage, that picturesque members-only West Hollywood hotel, guests sat for Warhol-style screen tests shot by Michele O'Marah and sampled homemade sangria. Whether you want it to or not, LAND turns you into a highbrow, high-class insider for a night. (646) 620-8289, nomadicdivision.org.

MSC Preziosa Grand Voyages - must try harder MUCH harder!!!! Two star
Firstly the good points - ship décor still on good condition; clean cabins; restaurant staff excellent; dealt with lactose-intolerant problem extremely well.Now for the problems-
1. Buffet food is always cold and repetitive and no-one including the Maître d'hôtel interested.
2. Even the main restaurant has a tendency to serve cold food unless you complain.
3. At the commencement of the cruise, the lunch time restaurant was quite quiet. However as a result of the poor food in the buffet, then the restaurant soon became very busy, and lunch became an almost 2 hour marathon as the staff and kitchen were overrun by the demand.
4. Embarkation was a total and utter disaster. A numbered sequence used, but called too many numbers at once resulting in passengers having to queue for well over 1 hour to reach the embarkation desk.
5. UK booking process totally lacking and a total shambles with e-mails continually ignored. More
6. Organisation of disembarkation at ports of call virtually non-existent.
7. Entertainment quite basic, but energetic performances by the dancers.
8. Mainly Brazilian & Italian passengers who tend to be very noisy and regularly queue jump. Less

Are you going to nerf him?really...if he max his W he will poke you.When you fall over 40% hp he will jump and kill you.
If he max his Q, he will do 300 damage every taste their fear+12% your missing hp.
Dont tell me"you noob cuz you dont know how to counter an assasin", well diamondprox or xpeke said hes op, i dont remember.
Dont tell me "you noob, buy armor"...if he makes you buy armor you cant buy damage, then you ll be useless.
you noob, speak engrish bettar cuz noob
Only thing I find unfair about Kha'Zix is that he gains an entire evolution point from the Hunt quest while Rengar gets "his head." Rengar's item kinda sucks, not to mention a fully stacked bonetooth isnt impossible to get while a 4th evo point is.
I feel that khazix has large mana costs on his W which limits its spamability, and his Q has already been nerf'd. Haven't fought against him much, but it seems everyone that does has trouble.
I would not be surprised to see a nerf for him. I personally don't have much trouble with him, but he's being picked constantly in the pro scene for his VERY large amount of damage, and he is very mobile once he gets an evolution point in his E. His overall kit is very strong though, and even if they do nerf him, they would have to completely remove a core part of his kit to get him totally eliminated for the pro scene. His E resets, Isolation damage etc. Unless they remove one of those very core parts of this champion, I believe he will still be picked.
As the person above me said, his mana costs are pretty high though.
I'm not sure how to reply to this other than that you don't know as much about Kha'Zix as you think. On top of that, if he's reached a point where a single jump can kill you at 40% HP, then you're team has a lot bigger problems than just Kha'Zix. At that point he is fed and so is probably the rest of the other team.
He does not need a nerf at all. He's basically a stealthy glass cannon with two abilities that make it feasible to kill most other champions, the first being an ability (Leap) with an absurd cooldown until late with an irritating instability involving whether or not Kha will actually go over the wall he's trying to pass over which then otherwise can be completely stopped with Crowd Control. The second ability is his Ultimate, which is a godsend for Kha'Zix and even then it still requires a lot of skill to use right.
That's another thing, a lot of good Kha'Zix players are skillful at Kha'Zix. To play him right and to dominate you have to be quite good at the least. He's squishy, his escaping mechanisms have long cooldowns, his W just eats Mana alive and is extremely vital, and then he has to be played VERY WELL at the late game because there usually reaches a point where anyone is powerful enough to kill anyone else 1v1. He can't engage in fights directly most of the time, his team fighting and ganking requires a lot of coordination beyond the regular amounts for most gankers.
Kha does not need a nerf, he does not need a buff, but he really needs his Leap tweaked to where the CC effects are either reduced or negated while Leaping, given how incredibly important of a skill it is for Kha'Zix. Receiving damage is perfectly fine though and is a good balance for it.
Death Zed
Main problem is, people have no idea how to play him well. Most Bronze league players don't bother looking at enemy inventories so just stack bloodthirsters. They've no idea about Last Whisperer and so. His early game is useless. Until 6, he's easy to lane against. He'll be maxing his w until 6 so that his poke is extremely lethal. Most Khazix's would leave Q to later and E always at level one and evolve it second/last. If they really want to go balls deep, they'd skip out on the leap and evolve Void Assault.
Most players really overestimate him because of his passive: Taste Their Fear. E, W, Q, you're down to half. That's it. He can ult, and Q and you're probably dead by then. Khazix is, and should be, a mid laner only. Most mages should be able to outplay him due to the ranged advantages but those with little CC (Nidalee, for example) may not be able to hold him in place. Lux's snare demolishes the purpose of Khazix's leap. Best way is to ult and flash and you're much closer than they can imagine. Though only at logical times. I don't see why people jungle with him a lot. He's squishy, and is extremely weak at ganking after clearing red buff, unless, he gets the first AA off, providing the slow.
His jungle is actually very good, and his ganking success dramatically increases at level 6. It is just a matter of getting to level 6 quickly. I max his W first for the insane damage and healing it does (evolving it first). His Q passive works on jungle creeps, so just killing the 'mini monsters' means more damage on the 'big monster'. I find him to be quite an effective jungler so long as he has blue buff., being as mana dependent as he is.
He's squishy in the jungle, he even has problems clearing with no help, he has huge mana costs and is super squishy until mid late game
Late game he destroys squishies, specially if their isolated, that's kinda his job
