- Violence against women, female teens, surges on TV
Violence against women, female teens, surges on TV
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Incidents of violence against women on mainstream U.S. television has increased by 120 percent in the past five years, with the depiction of teen girls as victims rising by some 400 percent, the Parents Television Council said in a report on Wednesday.
The media watchdog said it was particularly disturbed by the use of violence against women in comedies and said it hoped TV networks and advertisers would stand up against the trend.
"I hope the industry will look at our data and be as shocked as I was," PTC president Tim Winter told reporters.
The report suggested that violent acts against women and teen girls was increasing at rates that far exceed the two percent increase in overall violence that the study found existed on TV between 2004-2009.
The PTC compared prime-time programing on networks ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox in February and May 2004 and the same months in 2009. It said every network except ABC showed a dramatic increase in stories that included beatings, violent threats, shooting, rape, stabbing and torture.
The PTC findings reflect a sharp rise in the number of crime series on TV, such as the popular CBS franchise "CSI" which is one of America's most-watched drama series.
But the report singled out Fox, saying the network allowed violence against women to be trivialized through punch lines in its satirical animated comedies "Family Guy" and "American Dad." It cited one May 2009 episode of "Family Guy" in which a character gets divorced under a fictional 18th century procedure -- by shooting his wife dead.
The Parents Television Council, founded in 1995 to highlight children's exposure to sex, violence and profanity on television, said it was concerned that U.S. television was contributing to an atmosphere in which violence directed at women was viewed as normal.
"The fact is that children are influenced by what they see on TV and that certainly includes media violence," said Melissa Henson, the group's public education director.
A second TV pressure group, TV Watch, accused the PTC of seeking to expand government control over TV output and said parents should have the final say on what their children watch.
"This so-called 'study' is...an attempt to force all television contents to conform to their own beliefs. Parents have the tools to enforce the decisions about their children's viewing," Jim Dyke, executive director of TV Watch said in a statement.

I truly like it. I ordinarily
I truly like it. I ordinarily disdain blankets of Green Day tunes in light of the fact that I just like them when Billie Joe sings them, however I like this one. get facebook likes
Eh... I'm indifferent. Part
Eh... I'm indifferent. Part of me likes this version, but a stronger part of me just says no. Green Day isn't really meant to be played like this. With all due respect to Alanis. Please keep Green Day as it's supposed to be played. But it is appreciated what she did for Billie
Okay, I have nothing against
Okay, I have nothing against Alanis, but I think this cover was terrible. I've never been a big fan of hers, but I DO NOT hate her. But I do respect that she is standing up for Billie Joe.
I really like Alanis's
I really like Alanis's version. I can hear the meaning better in this slow version. Both Billy Joe's original cut and this are both great for different reasons. Nothing like a good stint through rehab to recharge up some new song-writing. Best wishes Billy Joel. I first saw you and Green Day at Woodstock II when you were first coming on the scene. All that mud. I was being chased because I hadn't rolled in the mud yet. They were calling me Aerosol Girl trying to get me dirty while Green Day thrashed on stage. I look forward to hearing what's coming out of this musically. Been through that stint myself. And it's a fabulous growth time. It's like fertilizing your life going through that. Best wishes.
Crazy! Wow I didn't realize
Crazy! Wow I didn't realize she was supporting him regarding the recent events. The song describes exactly what's happening with Billie Joe. Too bad there isn't Celebrity Rehab this season!
Sweet Alanis! And get well
Sweet Alanis! And get well Billie Joe.
I love play basket case
I love play basket case thinking about you, Green Day ... I dream BIllie Joe call me on stage to play his gibson.... mine is only a dream ... but I love thinking about it <3
I think the gesture is great
I think the gesture is great and really generous, but I did not at all like the way she performed the song. However, respect for doing it!
Love it! All kinds are
Love it! All kinds are coming out in support of greenday and Billy Joe!! People can be beautiful!
I actually like it. I
I actually like it. I normally hate covers of Green Day songs because I only like them when Billie Joe sings them, but I like this one. I think it was cool of her to pay tribute to green Day since they were supposed to be on Jimmy Kimmel this week. And I love you too Billie Joe!!!
I applaud her for doing
I applaud her for doing Basket Case and representing Green Day on Jimmy Kimmel. Since "Billie Joe" needs to get help. I say it like that because I am more leaning towards maybe he needs some help, but MAYBE he was drunk because he had to play that stupid FN show where Green Day was sandwiched between Usher (vomit) and Rhianna (ditto). And Green Day got their time cut. UNACCEPTABLE. YOU GO BILLIE JOE!!
I thought it was a great
I thought it was a great tribute. Really brought out the lyrics. Sure, it's totally different and odd not having it fast and hard-hitting, but it's still a great cover :)
I found it so weird that she
I found it so weird that she sang the words sex and whore, it sounded strange. Actually, the entire song sounded strange, considering the only way I like to hear it is with Billie Joe singing.
haha it didnt seem right when
haha it didnt seem right when she said sex or whore. at end "I love you Billie Joe"
man, that is a mistake,
man, that is a mistake, talkin about goin to a whore in a slow piano song, which can ONLY be a rock song, smh

Oh wow, this is pure creative geometric genius. Fantastic choice, Editors!
What lack of text? Those are pristine original D&D dice before anyone colored in the numbers. A collector's treasure!
Never underestimate the power of the dice! Congrats on the print Orion!
or... wait, was I seeing things? on my wee phone screen? *so confused*
Oh, I'm so glad this printed (and with the numbered die!). It epitomizes the Escher-esque Derby with its linework, the little bit of trompe l'oeil, shading, and color. Congratulations, Orabbit! For those who don't remember: Orabbit submitted this to the Escher-esque Derby with numered die and it was rejected because it was a no-text Derby. He resubmitted without numbers on the die and fogged. I'm glad to see woot print the original design.
The detail and shading in this piece of art are fantastic!
Hey now! With numbers, as nature intended. What a nice surprise! Thanks, editor(s). BTW, if you're wondering about the title, it's a reference to the Platonic solids.
Shame the love isn't mutual. If only the dice had rolled 1 4 3.
Wait what? This one doesn't glow in the dark... Now I'm all confuzzled. ;P Very nice. Love me some Escher homage art work. I took a turn at Escher homage art work once, way back when I used to have time to draw...
When I think of Platonic Love, I think of Laurasia and Gondwana with a heart drawn between them..
What about twelve sides? All hail the dodecahedron!!
Anything Escher inspired wins my vote every time. Excellent design!

Every week my co-worker and I roll a D20 to see who buys lunch. Winner picks where to eat, loser pays and has to pick it up. I think I'm up about 4 free lunches.
Spot check! You see a really cool and cleverly designed shirt. Roll initiative to see when this sells out today.
What's with the weird numbering on the d20? I thought the rule of dice was that two opposing sides had to equal the die size +1. ..Now my head hurts trying to apply that to a d4.
kriatyrr wrote:What's with the weird numbering on the d20? I thought the rule of dice was that two opposing sides had to equal the die size +1. ..Now my head hurts trying to apply that to a d4.
Oddly enough, the die I used for reference didn't follow that convention. Some sides add up to 21, but others add up to 14, 20, 24 or 26. Now that I look, only one style of my d20's consistently add to 21. The rest are all over the place. I never thought to look at that. Knowing is half the battle!
Hey! They printed the numbered version! That's not what I voted for! I demand a retraction!!!

New Preview for this week's episode A Necessary Bond!
Dooku's Revenge!
New Preview for this week's episode A Necessary Bond!
Dooku's Revenge!
Bond? A necessary Bond?
So, how are people finding Saturday mornings for this season, rather than Friday evenings? Or, does the DVR render original airing times irrelevant?
"That's what Sheev said."
Wow, I loved "A Necessary Bond!" I re-watched the first three episodes of this arc right before it, and the story is much more satisfying that way. This is probably one of the best arcs this show has done, at least in a while!
It was so nice to get payoff for Dooku's capture in Season One, and finally seeing the freakin' Slave I again was awesome! Hondo was funnier in this episode than he's probably ever been, and I liked how they dealt with his character changes. Him trying to get Obi-Wan to pay for all his damages was great. Huyang was great here as well and his tease about Yoda's time as a youngling was fun.
I hope Hasbro took note of the ship Grievous was using during the chase on Florrum - that would be awesome for the Class I line.
As for viewing times, I DVR it at my parents' house and watch it when I'm there, or if I'm at my apartment then I just wait until Sunday to watch it on the official site. It looks a hell of a lot better on an HD TV, that's for sure.
I love the episode too! Hasbro has to make that tank for the toy market.
a big Hondo fan here I likes the way they handle his character.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Best episode of the arc, and here's hopeing Hasbro makes Grievous's new ride.
it was so obvious that was designed for the toy market. but it's a good idea. I think Grievous was marketed for the minny wheel bike. I don't know if that ever saw wide release. I can't remember
on account of the economy they will be doing a lot of class 1. but the tank man...
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
Only "issue" I had with it was how easily a group of Jedi younglings and a Padawan could hold off Grievous, when in the past, he'd dispatch Jedi Knights with less effort. But it was pretty good aside from that.
"That's what Sheev said."

LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy fans will still need to wait about seven months until Steven Gerrard suits up for the club, but it's very apparent that the 34-year-old Liverpool FC legend will be in top form once he arrives.
On Friday morning during Liverpool's preparations for Saturday's match against Sunderland (4:45 am on NBCSN/mun2) at their training ground Melwood, Gerrard delivered an impressive left-footed volley that sailed into the back of the net.
Watch the goal above.
Excited to see what Gerrard will bring once he arrives? How closely will you be watching Liverpool FC's games now?
Share your thoughts below.
Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes will be the LA Galaxy's representatives at the U.S. National Team's annual January camp, but there was one notable omission: USMNT defensive mainstay Omar Gonzalez.
Although there was some initial worry from the Twitterverse about why Gonzalez had been dropped, U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann told U.S. Soccer's official website that a nagging injury prevented the LA Galaxy defender from being included in the squad.
"When you put together the roster for January Camp, you eventually talk to the players, you talk to their club coaches and everyone is in a bit of a different situation," Klinsmann said. "The season here has a different schedule than overseas or in Mexico, and here and there you run into issues with players that you think it's better if they maybe keep on curing some injuries, like in the case of Omar Gonzalez or Graham Zusi. They are not fully fit yet, so we decided to say 'take it easy going into pre-season of your club team'."
UPDATE: Fox Soccer's Alexi Lalas provided an update on Gonzalez via Twitter saying that he is undergoing "proactive knee maintenance"
The @LAGalaxy says @Omar4Gonzalez is doing "proactive knee maintenance" and is the reason why he wasn't called in to #USMNT.
— Alexi Lalas (@AlexiLalas) January 9, 2015
Gonzalez enjoyed a strong year for the U.S. in 2014 as he appeared in his first FIFA World Cup while also making eight appearances for Klinsmann's side.
CARSON, Calif. -- Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes have officially gone from the LA Galaxy Academy all the way to the U.S. National Team.
Galaxy Homegrown Players Oscar Sorto and Gyasi Zardes were among the 28-man roster named by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the team's annual January camp at StubHub Center from Jan. 12 to Feb. 8. The training camp will end with a pair of matches for the U.S. against Chile in South America on Jan. 28 and against CONCACAF rivals Panama on Feb. 8 at StubHub Center.
The call-ups will be the first from the senior team for both Sorto and Zardes. While Zardes carries no tournament experience, the 20-year-old Sorto was a member of the U.S. Under-20 squad during their participation in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
The inclusions of youngsters like Sorto and Zardes are part of Klinsmann's stated goal of bringing in Olympic-eligible players as the USMNT looks ahead to not only the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer, but also the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. The U.S. Under-23's famously missed out on the 2012 Olympic Games in London which were won by CONCACAF archrivals Mexico.
"The prize in 2015 for the senior National Team is the Gold Cup, and this camp will give a lot of our players a chance to kick start their preparations for an important year," Klinsmann said. "We also get an opportunity to introduce the next wave of young players into the program, and in particular work with many of our Olympic-age guys as they build toward qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio."
The complete U.S. roster is below.
GOALKEEPERS (4): Alex Bono (unattached), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Jon Kempin (Sporting Kansas City), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (8): Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Steve Birnbaum (D.C. United), Christian Dean (Vancouver Whitecaps FC), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), Perry Kitchen (D.C. United), Shane O'Neill (Colorado Rapids), Oscar Sorto (LA Galaxy)
MIDFIELDERS (10): Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (out of contract), Dennis Flores (Club Leon), Luis Gil (Real Salt Lake), Miguel Ibarra (Minnesota United FC), Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution), Marc Pelosi (Liverpool FC), Dillon Serna (Colorado Rapids), Brek Shea (Orlando City SC), Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew)
FORWARDS (6): Tesho Akindele (FC Dallas), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Julio Morales (Tepic), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich), Gyasi Zardes (LA Galaxy)
Tab Ramos, Lynden Gooch and Bradford Jamieson IV discuss the team's preparations and what to expect in their first match of the 2015 CONCACAF Championship against Guatemala.
In a special LA Galaxy Insider Breakdown, I look at how the LA Galaxy's new signing of Liverpool FC midfield can benefit the team and just where he'll fit.
Check it out above.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to reporters on Wednesday to discuss the club's newest Designated Player signing of Liverpool FC midfielder Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard will remain with Liverpool until the end of their season and will be eligible to play when the league's transfer window opens in mid-January.
Arena's complete comments from the conference call can be found below.
(On how the Galaxy intend to rotate their midfield around Gerrard…)
ARENA: I'm not spending a whole lot of time on that right now. We have seven months or so until Stevie arrives here in Los Angeles, and we're going to play out the process of our team, see how it moves forward, and see how we're ready to utilize Stevie once he gets here.
(On how Gerrard relates to other European arrivals to MLS like Beckham and Keane…)
ARENA: I think that they have proven track records. They're winners, they're great people, they've been terrific leaders on their clubs previous to coming to the Galaxy, and their qualities speak for themselves. Stevie has the characteristics of David Beckham and Robbie Keane, he's a terrific players, he's of great character, a great teammate and a great leader, so I think he'll complement our team in a very positive way.
(On Gerrard's versatility in the midfield…)
ARENA: In my observation of Stevie over the years, he's not only been a central midfielder, he's played a little bit shaded to the left or right underneath the strikers, so he can play a variety of positions in midfield. My guess is we'll play him closer to the forwards than our center backs. He's a player obviously with very good attacking qualities and we want to get him pushed as close to goal as we can, when we can. So I think we can accommodate that through a variety of positions. It'll take a little bit of time, but we'll get it figured out by the time that Stevie arrives.
(On the criticism that Gerrard receives for being unable to track back…)
ARENA: Steven Gerrard is a great player. He played in the 2014 World Cup, he plays for one of the top clubs in England… He's got great experience, great understanding of the game; he's quite capable of playing on both sides of the ball. I believe he'll be a very good player for us in MLS.C
(On if Arena will manage Gerrard's minutes…)
ARENA: I will manage his minutes. I'm going to try to get him on the field as much as possible.
(On the process to sign Gerrard…)
ARENA: First of all, I think Stevie did his homework, he was well aware of MLS and the Galaxy. He's been here a couple of times, obviously with Liverpool, so he knew Southern California and L..A. He understands MLS, so there weren't a whole lot of questions and he's obviously been aware of Beckham and Keane at the Galaxy. But on and off over the years, Stevie's always been a name that we've examined as a potential player to come to the Galaxy, and obviously over the recent months we've obviously pursued the player… Over the last two or three weeks, things came together pretty quickly.
(On if the Galaxy had other options…)
ARENA: We were looking at three or four players over the last three or four months, and obviously, Stevie was there all along. I would say that I thought it was going to be a longshot to acquire Stevie, but as we got closer to the year, interest on both parties picked up, and we were very fortunate to be able to secure a deal.
(On how Keane and Gerrard will combine…)
ARENA: They're two outstanding players. They've played together before, they know each other, and I think in a short period of time they're going to be able to have a great understanding of each other, and I'm quite confident that we'll see they're going to be able to help create chances for the LA Galaxy.
(On Robbie Keane's input in the Gerrard signing…)
ARENA: To be honest with you, I have not spoken to Robbie Keane about this. Maybe a month or so ago, I let him know we were talking with Stevie, but we didn't talk about how he fit in with the team and everything else. I just acknowledged the fact that Stevie was a player that we had an interest in.
CARSON, Calif. – The signing Steven Gerrard represents a major addition for the LA Galaxy, but just where does the Englishman fit in an already stacked LA midfield?
The Galaxy lifted their fifth MLS Cup on the strength of one of – if not the best—midfield in Major League Soccer which was anchored by the Brazilian tandem of Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas. Meanwhile on the flanks, a hodgepodge of Landon Donovan, Baggio Husidic and Stefan Ishizaki provided width to a Galaxy attack that scored a league-high 69 goals during the regular season.
At the height of his powers, Gerrard was one of Europe's best midfielders with ability to not only provide defensive cover, but also create chances on his own due to his unparalleled work rate. In more recent times, Gerrard has settled into a holding midfield role that has allowed him to orchestrate from deeper in the parking and use his pinpoint passing to open up chances for teammates across the field.
Considering that at 35, Gerrard does not have the same engine that he had at his peak, Bruce Arena may opt to use the Englishman in defensive midfield capacity ala David Beckham in his final two seasons with the club.
What does Arena himself think? Well, the Galaxy head coach and general manager isn't focusing on it just yet.
"I'm not spending a whole lot of time thinking about that right now," said Arena during the team's media availability after announcing the signing. "We have seven months or so until Stevie arrives here in Los Angeles and we're going to play out the process of our team. We'll see how it moves forward and see how we're ready to utilize Stevie once he gets here."
But now I'll give you an option to predict the Galaxy's next midfield. Below are a series of midfield combinations and I'll allow you to decide which midfield you'd like to see lineup when Gerrard arrives. Obviously, the list is hardly exhaustive so add your own midfield combos in the comment section beneath.
It's officially official. Steven Gerrard is a member of the LA Galaxy.
The club announced on Wednesday morning that Gerrard will be joining the club upon the conclusion of Liverpool FC's 2014-15 English Premier League campaign and will be eligible to play for the club when the transfer window opens up in July. Per club and league policy, the details of the contract were not disclosed.
Steven Gerrard is heading from Liverpool to Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times' Kevin Baxter reported on Wednesday that the LA Galaxy had finalized an 18-month deal with Gerrard for a reported $6 million a year. Gerrard will join the Galaxy in July after the conclusion of Liverpool's 2014-15 English Premier League campaign.
A player whose name is synonymous with the only club that he has ever played for, Gerrard admitted in an exclusive interview with Baxter that while the move was difficult, it was time for the former England captain to move on.
"The time's right for myself and my family for the change, for the fresh challenge. I've been here for a long time," Gerrard said in his interview with the newspaper. "I've given an awful lot back to this club. But I now feel it's the time for a fresh break and to try something different.
"I want to finish my career very strong. I want to add some more medals and trophies to my collection, so I think it's a match made in heaven, really," he later added. "One of the reasons why I chose the LA Galaxy was because of the success they've had recently. But also the plans for more success in the future."
In their own interviews with Baxter, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena stated the club "has a plan" for the Liverpool FC legend when he joins in July while club President Chris Klein called Gerrard a perfect fit for the defending MLS Cup champions.
"We just started thinking in the universe of players that are out there, we want to make a decision on what signifies a Galaxy designated player," team President Chris Klein said. "When we look at that, Steven Gerrard is the perfect fit with what he brings to us on the field and the character that he has off it."
CARSON, Calif. -- Alan Gordon is staying with the LA Galaxy.
The club announced on Tuesday morning that they have re-signed the 33-year-old forward after his flourish with LA after being acquired from the San Jose Earthquakes. Gordon tallied five goals and one assist during his time with LA en route to becoming the most statistically successful Galaxy player to ever don the No. 9 jersey.
In the 2015 season, the Galaxy will once more be expected to use Gordon off the bench as a target striker option, but with the depature of Landon Donovan, one would expect that Bruce Arena and company will likely require much more from the veteran in the months to come.
How do you feel about Gordon re-signing?

I bought my first computer, a TI 99/4A at the age of 14. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to write software.
Many computers, operating systems, and programming languages later, I still enjoy writing software. In those days, the code might have been to play a tune, a lunar lander clone or even a little hardware integration to turn on and off lights. Today, I design and write software for enterprise customers. But, there is still a little time for those small utility applications that help out around the house.

Help:Edit toolbar
this wiki
Editors who use Wikia's classic source mode editor may be interested in adding custom edit buttons to the editor's toolbar. These buttons allow special characters or chunks of text to be inserted into the edit box.
- Note: This toolbar does not appear while editing in visual mode (i.e. such as if you have selected "Enable visual editor" in the editing section of your preferences).
The basic toolbar
The default toolbar looks like this:
You may add custom buttons in your personal wikia.js so that only you can see and use them, or you may add them to MediaWiki:Common.js to make them available to all users on the wikia.
A customised edit bar would look something like this:
How do I use the buttons?
While editing a page in source mode, clicking one of the buttons will insert a symbol or piece of text. For example, clicking the button will insert the following text where the cursor is: '''Bold text'''
. If you highlight some text that you want to make bold, clicking this button will put the '''
on either side of the highlighted text so that it will be made bold when the page is published. The other buttons work in a similar way, try clicking some and seeing what they insert.
How do I create and upload button images?
The first thing to do is create a 23x22 image in any image editing program (you can use File:Button_blank.png as a template). Then upload it as you would any other image.
Note: If your image serves a function that other wikias may find useful, please upload the image to Community Central (and be sure to tag it with [[Category:Custom edit buttons]].). You can view buttons others have uploaded at Category:Custom edit buttons.
How do I edit the JavaScript file?
Find the correct JavaScript (.js) page to add it to. To do this you can refer to the JavaScript and CSS Cheatsheet. In general, the JavaScript page to add it to will be one of the following pages:
- Your personal JS file will be located on the wikia in question at: :User:USERNAME/wikia.js (if you use the Wikia skin),
- The sitewide JS, which changes the entire site for all users, is located at: MediaWiki:Common.js.
- If you like to have your personal buttons common to all wikias, place the code in this page: /User:USERNAME/global.js
Add a new mwCustomEditButtons section on the page. You will add one section to the array for each custom button you wish to add. Here's an example of what the page content should look like:
mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/c/c8/Button_redirect.png", "speedTip": "Redirect", "tagOpen": "#REDIRECT [[", "tagClose": "]]", "sampleText": "Insert text" }; mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/c/c9/Button_strike.png", "speedTip": "Strike", "tagOpen": "<s>", "tagClose": "</s>", "sampleText": "Strike-through text" }; mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/1/13/Button_enter.png", "speedTip": "Line break", "tagOpen": "<br />", "tagClose": "", "sampleText": "" }; mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/7/74/Button_comment.png", "speedTip": "Comment visible only for editors", "tagOpen": "<!-- ", "tagClose": " -->", "sampleText": "Insert comment here" };
If you want to add a new button, copy this section:
mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "http://images.wikia.com/central/images/7/74/Button_comment.png", "speedTip": "Comment visible only for editors", "tagOpen": "<!-- ", "tagClose": " -->", "sampleText": "Insert comment here" };
Then paste it after the last closing brace and semicolon: };
. From there, replace each value to match what you want the button to do. The values are:
- imageFile
- The full URL to the image.
- You may find the full URL to the image by going to the image description page and clicking the hyperlink below the image to see the full-size image. Use the URL from the resulting image-only page.
- The image must be stored on your local Wikia or on Community Central — it must use a Wikia.com URL.
- speedTip
- The tool-tip text (shown when you hover the mouse over the button).
- tagOpen
- The opening tag
- tagClose
- The closing tag (omitted if there is no sample text needed).
- sampleText
- The text that will be automatically highlighted upon insertion (between the two other tags), this is intended to be replaced by you when you type. Leave this blank if you don't need to put anything between the opening and closing tags.
Once you have published the page and refreshed your browser's cache, your custom buttons will appear when you edit a page in source mode.

I hope when Fermi comes out they still won't be waiting for ATI to fix their drivers to release the linux version.
Phoronix: Unigine Engine Advances, But No Linux Heaven Yet
We reported a month ago that Unigine Heaven on Linux is still trash with the ATI driver so Unigine Corp is continuing to hold off on releasing the Unigine Heaven tech demo with the OpenGL renderer that supports hardware tessellation until there is a good Catalyst release. Unigine Heaven was released for Windows 7 back in October on this operating system's launch day using a DirectX 11.0 renderer, but buggy Linux drivers have held back the public Linux-OpenGL build...
I hope when Fermi comes out they still won't be waiting for ATI to fix their drivers to release the linux version.
Surely just releasing it and adding a check for nvidia drivers would pressure ATI into fixing their driver faster than not releasing it?
Actually, last month it was stated that a "hardware vendor" was holding things up but failed to mention which one. At least that was from Unigine - phoronix has been filling in the rest all on its own. Is there any confirmation that it is currently ATI holding things up?
I'm all for speculation, so I'm sure ATI's drivers are still holding it up, but I'd just like something a bit more official.
Given that Phoronix and unigine are on pretty good ground dialog wise and phoronix also has a unreleased version of it I would say that the info that ATI is holding up the release is pretty good. Especially since ATI is the only vendor out there that currently has hardware that supports hardware tessellation.
Well, again that's all speculation. I'm not completely up to speed on the opengl tessellation side of things, and it's also rational to assume that nvidia would like the demo to be released along with Fermi (they have after all been using it quite heavily to show off Fermi).
Well not really,
Notice the "way to broken" quote from Denis?
Unigine Corp's CEO, Denis Shergin, told Phoronix this afternoon that Heaven for Linux should be available in one to two months. According to Denis, the Linux build of Unigine Heaven is done, but they are waiting for new drivers to be released before pushing out this impressive tech demo. OpenGL on the AMD side is "way too broken" so it looks like Unigine will be waiting for the Catalyst 9.11 or 9.12 driver releases before pushing out Heaven. The Unigine Heaven Linux version will carry full tessellation support enabled, we're told.
Nvidia has been releasing videos of The Fermi with what appears to be a "1.1" Heaven build, so it's obvious that they do have the hardware and software to run it. Really, there is no indication that at this point it's AMD that's holding back the demo. Could be, but as long as someone at Unigine comes out saying just that, it's all speculation.
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure that's what's going on still, but the developers from Unigine delaying because they feel AMD's drivers aren't stable enough and AMD asking Unigine to delay it are completely different. It's the the whole being asked by a hardware vendor thing that's put some confusion into the matter, and I'm wondering if the article isn't more a conclusion reached by Michael from trying the demo out with AMD's drivers than by talks with Unigine.

About Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
An explosive, comedic take on the Hansel and Gretel fairytale from the director of Nazi-zombie-splatterfest Dead Snow. As children Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) turned the tables on their witch captor by burning her alive in her own oven. Years later, they spend their days hunting down as many evil witches as they can. They are helped by an arsenal of weapons and the fact that spells do not seem to work on them. The mayor of a German town hires them to kill the witches plaguing his people and soon they learn that their powerful target Muriel (Famke Janssen) commands a troll along with her coven. She wants to complete a ritual that will make her impervious to fire, so Hansel, Gretel and local boy Ben (Thomas Mann) set out to stop her.

The IRR produces, disseminates, and promotes the new ideas that South African policy makers need in order to promote the investment and economic growth that will draw poor people into jobs and build a more prosperous South Africa.
The IRR's annual South Africa Survey has become the leading economic, social, and political review of data trends on South Africa. Running to over 900 pages it has fourteen chapters covering demographics, the economy, public finance, employment, assets and incomes, business and infrastructure industrial relations, education, health, social security, living conditions, communications, crime and security and politics and government
The Born free but still in chains: South Africa's first post-apartheid generation report provides an investigation into the extent to which South Africa's born free generation are experiencing political and economic alienation, and what can be done.
IRR TV, the IRR's exclusive television channel is jam-packed with interviews, reports, research, and policy solutions.
The 21st Index of Economic Freedom 2015 by the Heritage Foundation, based in Washington D.C., United States, was launched on Tuesday, 27 January 2015.
The Index was publicised in South Africa by the IRR.

The is the second report of the Broken Blue Line project – the first having been published by the IRR in 2011. As in 2011, this report examines the extent to which the police are involved in perpetuating criminal violence.
The CRA is our consulting and advisory division and uses scenario based research to anticipate and advise on future social, economic, and political trends in South Africa.
At the IRR we publish a broad range of monthly, annual, and occasional reports on economic, social, and political trends and policy for South Africa. Some of these are free to access while others require subscriptions.
The Patents and Prosperity report is the culmination of an IRR research project into the importance of Intellectual Property (IP) rights in drawing and securing investment, growth, and development in South Africa. The report is critical of current government policy efforts and suggests the direction that government IP policy should follow.
A monthly report, which features in-depth data analyses across a range of policy areas and is distributed to Centre for Risk Analysis clients and thousands of recipients in business, government, civil society, and the media every month.
@Liberty is the IRR's main policy platform and the vehicle it uses to get its policy proposals and solutions into the public domain. It is a free to access document that is circulated to thousands of subscribers. The IRR encourages its wide dissemination.
The Centre for Risk Analysis (CRA) at the IRR has introduced an exciting publication, the RiskREPORT, which will be made available exclusively to premium subscribers of the CRA.
The Free Society Project is the major outreach initiative of the IRR. It is directed at ensuring that South Africa remains a free and open democratic society while creating the economic opportunities necessary to free South Africans from poverty, unemployment, and inequality.
Via our Civil Society Support Programme we help civil society groups in meeting the social and economic needs of their beneficiaries. The information we provide helps them to better serve their communities and provides them with assistance to write funding proposals to donors, identifying areas of socio-economic need, identifying new project possibilities, and benchmarking socio-economic progress in the country.
Through the Democracy Support Programme we empower elected representatives to identify policy challenges, benchmark social and economic progress, and support initiatives that will ensure political and economic freedom. Over 2000 elected representatives across all political parties who subscribe at no cost to all our reports and services free of charge via the Democracy Support Programme.
Through the Media Alert Service we directly support journalists with access to information on South Africa. Nearly 650 media agencies, bureaus, newspapers, television stations and radio stations around the world are subscribed to the Media Alert Service.
South Africa has arguably the most comprehensive and challenging affirmative action policies of any country in the world. But is black economic empowerment (BEE) achieving its goal of correcting past injustices and opening up opportunities for black South Africans? Or is it in practice more harmful than helpful?
The time traveller scenarios are a major research and policy initiative at the IRR. The scenarios describe four future South Africa's and the policy decisions that will lead us into those diverse futures. A book on the scenarios is titled A Time Travellers Guide to Our Next Ten Years and is available from all good bookshops. A briefing on the scenarios is very popular and can be arranged by clicking here.
Many years have passed since South Africans were being shot or hacked or burned to death in political conflict; and the memory of the trauma has faded. Some 20 500 people were nevertheless killed between 1984 and 1994. The conventional wisdom is that they died at the hands of a state-backed Third Force, but the more accurate explanation is that they died as a result of the people's war. This book describes that war, its origins, and its consequences.
Many analysts argue that the 'rainbow nation' seems to be drifting and in search of a new policy direction to help it overcome its daunting challenges. This book sets out many of the IRR's arguments on what has gone wrong and what must be done to turn South Africa around.
This is a book on our research into changing social attitudes in South Africa since 1994. The research includes interviews with senior business and academic leaders in South Africa. The project was funded through a grant from the Maurice Webb Trust.
This 2014 report investigates the socio-economic circumstances of mineworkers in South Africa and policy initiatives to improve those circumstances. It is one of several occasional reports we produce every year.
This report examines the structure, roles, and responsibilities of local government, tracks the history of local government from the apartheid era into the present, provides hard data on socio-economic circumstances in each of South Africa's local authorities, ranks all municipalities according to service delivery indicators, provides analysis of the data, and proposes solutions to the problems facing local government.
Access to most IRR reports and services requires a subscription. Corporate and government users are required to pay a subscription fee through our consulting arm - the Centre for Risk Analysis. However, other users, such as journalists and small civil society groups, should be able to access a no-cost subscription through one of our outreach and advocacy programmes.
The IRR is proud to have been funding the education of poor South Africans, regardless of race, since 1935. Since 1980 we have provided more than R221 million in bursary funding and produced over 3 600 medical, business, management, scientific, education, and engineering graduates. This has been a major contribution to economic empowerment in South Africa - since long before the idea became popular.

re: Skyrim Round 2 Posted by TigerMyth36 on 12/31 at 4:48 pm to LSUSaintsHornets I still miss levitation from Morrowind. Nothing says badass like being able to fly over a mountain or stupid dead end. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by saintsfan92612 on 12/31 at 4:58 pm to LSUSaintsHornets Creating spells was amazing. I had one that somehow did 400 damage and only cost 10 magicka. I think because it was a dps spell that only lasted 2 seconds it was very cheap. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSU Coyote on 12/31 at 5:04 pm to TigerMyth36 MMOs do this to me all the time. I spend 100s of hrs grinding then can't even play a game or another genre for months after. Nothing appeals to you but then 1 day you just jump back in. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Siderophore on 1/1 at 1:41 pm to LSU Coyote My biggest complaint with the homebuilding is that it is all predetermined. Considering houses are already in game, with the ability to modify them, I assumed that a special paid for DLC would allow you to freeform build, or at least with minor limits. Give me a predetermined grid and let me build my damn house how I want to! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerMyth36 on 1/1 at 11:36 pm to Siderophore Lvl 68. Just about done with the thieves guild and rebuilding nonsense. At least this time I knew the tip to get the bedlam and sweep tasks in the same city to hit it 2 for the price of one. Trying to get light armor and 2 handed raised is a serious pain at lvl68. It is definitely bringing the difficulty level higher. Not looking to max out because no way in hell I am going to work on pickpocketing. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by DoUrden on 1/1 at 11:43 pm to TigerMyth36 SPOILERS for weapon skills get shadowmere and beat on it all you want, works for magic skills too. there used to be wolves outside of riverwood that you could hold up in a tree log to up armor and blocking skills. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerMyth36 on 1/1 at 11:48 pm to DoUrden I miss those scamps from Oblivion. I pretty much maxed most of my skills on those 5 scamps that were tied to that staff.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerMyth36 on 1/9 at 12:26 pm to TigerMyth36 Lvl 74. Amazing how fast the money shoots up when you finish the thieves quest line and use the persuasion perks. I went from 50k to 350k pretty fast. Not that you need much cash. I have one quest to go to wrap up the mage quest and then I'll finish the companions guild. Then I need to do the city quests to get all of the houses. Then the end game, I'll hit the main quest line. A few more weeks and I will be done. Not sure if I will get the DLC. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by SeeeeK on 1/9 at 1:32 pm to TigerMyth36 quote: My exact complaint on skyrim forum If i cannot put 8 mannequins with every armor in my armory, or more weapon racks, what is the point? The house build is great, but then, when customizing it, it's what they want you to put, not what u want to put in there. It's a buy, but not worth paying for. Should of come with dawnguard or dragonborn. as my first RPG, i do enjoy it, Reply Back to Top |
quote: If you put too much shite in your house, its glitchy as a motherfricker too. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerMyth36 on 1/11 at 7:34 pm to Jcorye1 Almost level 78. Ha. I thought I wasn't going to max out. Archery, 2 Hander and Pickpocket is about all I have left. I've finished Companions, Mage and thieves guild. I need to get all of the homes then do all the daedric quests. Finally need to join the stormcloaks and then after over a year, I need to work on the main quests. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by DoUrden on 1/11 at 7:37 pm to TigerMyth36 Are you playing on PC? There are a ton of Steam achievements to complete if so. Reply Back to Top |
So i decided, my female Nord, needs to marry. And instead of scissor grinding with Ysolda, every night, i decided on Lydia. Now, in our freshly built home, the beyatch is glitched out. She gets caught on every table, door frame, etc and shakes. She won't move from the spot, as she is stuck. I also, cannot buy a home in Markarth, the jarl told me, i would be able to, then won't give me the option, and neither will his steward. It's a known bug, just never tried to build the 3rd home. I should of been able to marry the big breasted blonde in Falkreath, she was wanting to scissor, real badly, while i was in town. I wish i had it on PC< the mods for the game are incredible, especially the monster pack, and the armors. Reply Back to Top |
There are game codes to reset/fix glitches too. There are cheats also, one will take you to a room with lockers that have EVERY item in the game. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 1/11 at 7:53 pm to DoUrden I just started playing Morrowind. I've never played any of these, but I can already tell this is gonna take a while.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by DoUrden on 1/11 at 7:55 pm to Teddy Ruxpin I wish I had played Morrowind before oblivion, I hear it's awesome but I have a hard time playing previous versions when I have played a newer one.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerMyth36 on 1/11 at 8:44 pm to DoUrden No game compares to Morrowind for me. Easily my favorite. As powerful as you can get in Skyrim and Oblivion that is nothing compared to all the constant effects enchants form Morrowind. You had more slots for enchants. Although I Hated those damn bird things attacking on Red Mountain. Morrowind had more atmosphere. Lots of spooky caves. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 1/12 at 1:28 am to TigerMyth36 I need to read the damn manual. Im a random arse dark elf with a big sword not knowing what potions or scrolls do. For someone who was all about Diablo I, Ultima Online, etc as a kid youd think this would come natural.This post was edited on 1/12 at 1:29 am Reply Back to Top |

When you have a writing project looming, or you regularly write for your occupation, having the right writing desk is essential. You want your writing desk to complement the contours of your body; the way you sit and hold yourself while writing. Fortunately, at Beyond the Office Door, our writing desks are suited to a variety of users, and are built with your comfort in mind.
Whether you are looking for a stand-up desk to enhance your physical mobility while working, or a traditional seated desk, finding the right desk for you and your employees is important. With the right choice, you can ensure that you perform your writing projects in the most comfortable position. Depending on your preference, writing desks can come with angled writing surfaces, enclosed storage spaces, drawers, and customized height options.
The ability to customize your writing desk is critical in aiding in personal comfort, and the option to adjust height is fast becoming a priority for many writers and other workers. Height adjustment can be beneficial for those writers who need to move around occasionally, but who cannot stop writing or working to do so. And for the days when you need to sit and rest, a writing desk with adjustable height can quickly and easily switch from a stand-up height to a seated height.
Writing desks that are customized to your specific needs come with a variety of benefits, and can be used in a great number of spaces. They are effective additions to places such as:
In each of these spaces, a customized writing desk can provide its user with a number of benefits, the most important being a desk fitted to their physical comfort. These desks can also be customized as far as material goes, as they are available in wood material or metal, and have lots of options for their top surfaces and finishes, making it easy to match these pieces to an office's existing aesthetic.
