Charlotte Church Plays First U.S. Gig After Eight Years
Crowds would never know the last minute performance was put together in two days, and she'd only done a sound check a few hours prior.
"We didn't rehearse much, but f*** it," Church told the crowd.
Although Church has put her classical career on hold, her upbeat pop songs still showcased her enchanting voice, as she performed seven tracks including:
Church, 24, has sold more than 11,000,000 albums worldwide, but her career had taken a backseat as the media devoted endless stories about her tepid relationship with now ex-boyfriend Gavin Henson, a Welsh rugby union player. The couple have two children together, Ruby, 3, and Dexter, 1, but split in May.Only Bruises

Pie Jesu
"I wanted people to focus on my music, but things haven't turned out that way. I've become a soap star. It's not what I wanted, but I have to get on with it," Church recently told UK's Daily Mail.
She is now dating Powell, whom she worked with on her latest album 'Back To Scratch' -- her first album in five years. Throughout the set, the pair smiled and joked between themselves, showing they're clearly in love.
She ended her performance with one of the first classical numbers she ever performed, 'Pie Jesu.' Only one note in, her voice shook the room, and the tabloid fodder dissolved.
Church is back and ready to prove she's here's to stay.

She still has the beautiful voice and beautiful looks, potty mouth or not. I would hardly call that having nothing if she's sold that many records over the years. Sounds like more than YOU have...

Awww, poor baby, your moldy fantasy of a little naive babygirl has been shattered, and now you just don't know how to deal.
Church is a grown-up now, with all the choices, rights and self direction the rest of us have. I know, everyone should be as YOU choose, so your fragile world won't fall apart.

HOUSTON - Hostage negotiators helped bring an overnight standoff involving a shooting suspect to a peaceful end, police said.
It was late Monday when the Houston Police Department said the suspect shot someone in the 4800 block of Ligonberry in southeast Houston. According to HPD, the victim got in a car and drove away to seek help. They were later sent to the hospital in unknown condition.
Meanwhile, police arrived to confront the suspect, who they said ran into a nearby home and shut the garage door. Officers tried to get the man to come out, and a SWAT team was called in.
Eventually, hostage negotiators moved in and the man decided to give himself up
He s going to face several charges, said HPD spokeswoman Jodie Silva. He obviously will face charges for shooting the male victim.

The color is intense ruby red with youthful hints. The bouquet is intense, vinous and spicy in which the Tuscan character of the Sangiovese is perfectly married with the international character of the Cabernet and Merlot. In the mouth, it is gentle, soft and easy-to-drink.
Delicious with roasts, game and medium aged cheese.

I called to ask for a menu to be faxed was told it's too big to fax, I then asked where online i can find the menu was told it's not anywhere online.
She then said i can mail you a menu takes 3-5 days, i said but i'm hungry now.
Needless to say I went somewhere else and will never attempt there again- horrific customer service!!!

Pretty good pizza and very good subs.I first ate at the Baily & Doat
store and the William St. store was just as good.Much better than the chain operations . Support local guys people.Very friendly and professional staff. The cashier is great.Cute and helpful.

Their pizza is pretty good, not greasy at all. The wings and boneless wings actually are hot when you order them as so, and also very good. I would give them a try, we order from them a lot and they have never done us wrong!

Speedies, Scribbles, and Anatomy
Hello CA,
I'm looking to get to know many of you who post your work here as I am in need of art friends. Here are some things from my sketchbook over the last couple of weeks. I also like to use Corel Painter and Photoshop and here is some of my speed paints. Usually around 1hr or more.
Feel free to criticize, admire, hate or love the things you see. Sorry for some of the pictures as my camera ain't the best.
I'll post new stuff throughout the day and hopefully everyday...
Hopefully these size correctly...

in the end they are both beneficial, I can see what your saying about bridgman I enjoy drawing bridgman more his drawings seem to flow very well and I like hogarth for his exaggeration in anatomy so you easily understand the body. I find myself wanting to draw the other when I focus on one. so i decided to mix them up . i dont like them better than the other. by the way, nice anatomy on the last drawing
April 15th, 2010 #15
Thanks Modest. I'm trying to do Hogarth's bulging calf muscles on my own poses.
Here is the prelim drawing for a speed painting I'm gonna do tonight. Probably will pass out soon but I'll seee how far I can get.
April 15th, 2010 #16
Working on a basic underpainting. Perhaps it should be lighter all around. I know the middleground will definately need to be lighter.
April 20th, 2010 #17
Continuing on with ideas for the demonlord before I put him in a comp. Right now I'm just working on general body shape. I think I'm gonna go long and muscular with a kind of Egyptian vibe. I like my thumbnails of the more classic superhero look but I just feel like I've seen that too much before.
April 20th, 2010 #18
Keeping up on my Hogarth studies. Spending time to draw the underlying forms before the details.
April 20th, 2010 #19
You've got some good sketches keep it up!
April 20th, 2010 #20
Hi Spivak. I think you are on the right path. If you want to work on posing your characters then focus more on action. Don't bother yourself with details/head design. It's all about the form. Posemaniacs could help you here (www.posemaniacs.com).
Working on anatomy is a good thing too, keep it up!
The Following User Says Thank You to Ivan Turcin For This Useful Post:

Don't know where this one was going. But just for fun. Using some stuff I've learned from Hogarth
April 21st, 2010 #22
Ivan- Thanks for that site link. It seems a pretty useful resource.
Ya I think now I'm going to focus on the action and forms more. I just wanted to have an idea as to the general appearance of this guy. Doing flat front and side views helps me in the beginning. Its like the first baby steps.
April 22nd, 2010 #23
Another Hogarth study and then from the imagination to use things I have learned from him.
April 23rd, 2010 #24
I've got a morning study, a reptile dude, and then a doggy I drew at the kennel I work at. He is an akita mix and was nice enough to hold this position for 10 mins.
April 26th, 2010 #25
Hey Spivak, nice updates. I'm glad you're working more on anatomy. My only advice would be to put more attention to proportions when doing something from the imagination.
I tried to show you what I mean - green lines show how the body is distorted, and red as it should be.
Hope it helps!
Keep sharing new work.
April 26th, 2010 #26
cool studies
May 12th, 2010 #27
Great flow in your sketches. keep it up.

Ivan- Great corrections man. Sometimes I get carried away in the spirit of the drawing and forget to pay attention to perspective and ovals in space. Its something I have to keep in mind more as I sketch.
Thanks for the compliments Maeshanne and RNR!

This is one amazing book! The images it presents to the reader are truly wonderful. I felt as if I were in the middle of the action all the time. As well, the plot is unusual, winding around so you're not sure what will happen next!! Well worth the read. Hats off to the author!!

on May 12, 2012 :
I enjoyed this book very much, even though it was somewhat out of my "comfort zone." I didn't know what to expect, and was very pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed something far from the Civil War history and run-of-the-mill mysteries that I normally read. I'll be looking forward to Sue Simonich's next book.

The Maps of Yosemite National Park, A Video
What can you glean from glancing at a map? If it's a road map, folks will look for routes to their destinations, interesting sidetrips, population centers. Topographical maps can provide rich details of landscapes and help us navigate through them.
In this episode from Yosemite Nature Notes, Producer Steven M. Bumgardner, aka Yosemite Steve, introduces us to the map wonders of Yosemite National Park. There's even a cameo appearance by Ken Burns!
In the blurb promoting this video, Yosemite Steve points out that "(W)hen Joseph Walker passed through in 1833, there were none, but today, thousands of maps portray Yosemite National Park. From a land grant created during the Civil War, to modern computer mapping, these maps also tell the story of the protection of Yosemite."
The video runs 9:30, but it's worth the watch. In it you'll glimpse maps of ancient glaciers of Yosemite, old maps of the Yosemite Valley, and, of course, trail maps.
Kurt, thanks so much for highlighting this video. As a young Scout in Australia I used to spend hours studying maps, digesting the spatial representations that came to life when I actually hiked or camped in the areas that related to the maps. It's something I still do now but I now I also enjoy using Google Earth which adds the third dimension to the map. I didn't realise there were others who had a similar interest.
The historical perspective was also most interesting, in particular how the original boundaries were drawn and changed due to the discovery of mineral wealth in the area.
Like Terressa Whitaker in the video I also have "bins" of maps.
Though unlike Terressa, I have and will never ever throw a map away :-)
Fun video, thanks!

Roasted New Potatoes with Herbs and Garlic
Steaming new potatoes served with butter and chopped fresh mint is always a delight, but it's good to have a change. New potatoes roast beautifully in their skins, and if you buy the baby ones ready cleaned, there is no need to wash them and the skins will be beautifully dry, which is what you need for this recipe.
Serves 6
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe.
First of all sort through the potatoes and cut any larger ones in half so they are all as evenly sized as possible. Then place them in a large bowl along with the garlic and chopped herbs and a good seasoning of freshly milled black pepper. Next add the oil and vinegar and toss everything around to get all the potatoes evenly coated. Now cover the bowl with a cloth and leave on one side until the potatoes have soaked up all the flavours – about 11/2-2 hours. To roast the potatoes, pre-heat the oven to its highest setting, spread the potatoes out on a large, solid roasting tray, season well with crushed Maldon salt and roast on the highest shelf for 20-25 minutes. Test them with a skewer – they should be crisp on the outside and soft and tender within. Serve straight away.

Thankfully, bead crochet expert Judith Bertoglio-Giffin understands my pain. I asked her if she had any tips for getting my seed beads strung on my crochet thread for bead crochet, and she had some great advice, which I am happy to pass on to anyone getting started with bead crochet!
For me, stringing
beads is the most boring job in bead crochet! But there are ways to make it easier, or at least, to take the pain out of stringing beads before you start your bead crochet project.
For any pattern work in bead crochet where you have to count the beads, a short big eye needle or a twisted wire
needle works well with seed beads in size 11o and larger. If you're using smaller beads, like size 15o seed beads, Tulip now offers large-eye, twisted wire needles that are perfect for the job of stringing beads onto your crochet thread.
To check my patterns, the best idea I've come across is to write down the stringing table, string a complete repeat, and attach it to an index card. Then you can hold your strung work up to the card and quickly check it for accuracy. and attaches it to
an index card. File the pattern and strung section on the index card for future work with that pattern.
Contrary to what many bead crocheters are told, there is no reason in the world to string more
than 36" to 40" of beads at one time. Pushing them down the thread
frays your crochet thread and is a nuisance. String your longer ropes in
sections and just add in thread. (I have a great free tutorial available on my website that shows you how to securely add new thread to your bead crochet projects so that you don't have to struggle with long sections of seed beads and worn out crochet thread!)
If you're looking to do something a little different with your bead crochet in 2013, you can't miss out on this special bundle of The Beaded Edge and The Beaded Edge 2. Each volume is full of beautiful, inspiring bead crochet designs that can be used for beaded jewelry, home decor projects, or just to add some beads to your favorite outfits and accessories. Get your bundle of The Beaded Edge and The Beaded Edge 2 at a special price and start stringing those beads for bead crochet!
Is bead crochet one of the things that you want to learn in 2013? After reading these inspiring tips from Judith, I'm certainly ready to break out the crochet hooks again!
Bead Happy,
After 35 years of raising a family and working in corporate America, bead artist Judith Bertoglio-Giffin now splits her time between Arizona and rural New Hampshire. She fell in love with bead crochet back in 1999, and writes, designs, and teaches extensively throughout the year. When she's not cooking up brilliant bead crochet designs, Judith indulges in a little freeform peyote stitch. You can find great bead crochet resources on her website, Bead Line Studios; her blog; and find great bead crochet supplies for sale in her Etsy shop, BeadLine.
If you use a needle and put your beads on a bead mat and just pick them up with the needle from the bead mat you won't have to go to all the expense of that spinner. With a bead mat the beads will just roll onto the needle and will be much faster to string them.
Replying to parrot770 - I got my bead spinner at either JoAnn Fabrics or Michaels, both places of which always have 40% or 50% off coupons. I'm certain I didn't spend more than maybe $8 for my bead spinner. If you've ever done the method parrot770 recommends and then you use a bead spinner, you'll ask yourself why you didn't use the bead spinner much earlier. A bead spinner is FAST! Sure, if you're just stringing on a few beads, do it manually, but if your pattern requires hundreds/thousands of seed beads, you really want a spinner.
this is great, thank you for the tutorial to add a thread in the crocheting, i allways have trouble with that.
Judith blog i found not long ago the first time too, very appretiated the information she shares.
Greetings Aunty Akoya
I'm a neophyte so could someone explain what a bead spinner or a bead mat is/does please? Thanks. You don't want to know how I've been rounding up and threading my beads for crocheting!!
Here's a video of someone using a Bead Spinner. There are lots of types (wood, plastic) and price ranges. Even some battery-powered ones. But this'll give you the basic idea. www.youtube.com/watch
A bead mat can be any soft surface that you like to work with your beads on. There are lots that you can buy, or you can look at fabric stores for remnants. I have even used placemats as a bead mat. My favorite material though is that fuzzy foam core stuff they make thermal blankets with. It is very squishy, it doesn't have a thread weave to catch your needle, and the fuzz is very straight and upright. My second favorite is wide-wale cuorderoy. The lines in the fabric help my beads stay in a line.
This gal sels some pretty cool ones. stores.intuitwebsites.com/.../StoreFront.bok
Thanks so much, Mary. That was very helpful.

REGION: Courts face fourth year of budget cuts
Budget cuts this year mean no relief at the courts. The lines will remain long, and the paperwork backlog ---- which had been shrinking ---- will probably reverse course and start to grow again. But the courthouse doors will remain open, and there are no expected cuts in the hours for public access to court files.
That's the upshot of the budget ---- and the $11.6 million budget cut ---- facing the San Diego Superior Court, which runs all the courts in the county, from criminal to civil, divorce to probate to traffic and most legal matters in-between. Federal courts are not part of the system.
San Diego Superior Court Executive Director Michael Roddy said the county courts, which are part of the state's court system, have been able to stave off disaster by continuing what is essentially a years-long hiring freeze and by another dip into reserves.
But this is the fourth year in a row that the local courts have taken budget hits ---- and this is the last year Roddy thinks he can run the courts without drastic measures.
"The unfortunate thing for the court, the employees and the public is the high level of uncertainty about the future," Roddy said. "The potential for dramatic cuts to the court system might imperil people's access to the court."
Roddy's always cautious eye ---- and his biggest concerns ---- are on the budget for the next fiscal year, which starts next July.
Roddy projects the courts will take an additional $24 million hit next year, he said.
Judge Kevin Enright, presiding judge of the San Diego Superior Court, echoed Roddy's concerns.
"As a practical matter, even though these are some very challenging times unlike the (judicial) branch has ever experienced, the real difficult situation lay ahead of us in (fiscal year) 2012-2013," Enright said.
Continuing saga
Smaller budgets are a continuing saga for the courts statewide. The last three years have seen the state's court budget chopped by 30 percent, the Associated Press reported.
San Diego is the second-largest court in the state, behind Los Angeles Superior Court, and it stays busy. Last year, more than 4 million people walked though the doors of San Diego's courthouses, including the Vista courthouse, and more than 716,000 cases were filed in the county courts.
The local court has been working in a financial hole for a few years. This fiscal year, which ended in June, San Diego Superior Court operated on a budget of $220 million ---- but only had $218 million in revenue provided by the state. Thus a $2 million shortfall.
Last fiscal year, which ended in June 2010, San Diego Superior Court spent $221 million, but was only given $216 million by the state.
This year, the court is getting $182.5 million. There are two reasons for the large dip: First, there's the $11.6 million budget cut. Second, there is a basic restructuring of the way the state will pay for courthouse security, like bailiffs, guards around criminal defendants and metal detectors at the front doors. Starting this year, the state is giving the money to pay for security directly to the counties, instead of the courts.

Children's Genes Influence How Well They Take Advantage Of Education
New research from the Twins Early Development Study at King's College London Institute of Psychiatry (IoP), published in PLoS ONE on February 2nd, shows that measures used to judge the effectiveness of schools are partly influenced by genetic factors in students.
The study, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), was conducted by scientists in the UK at the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre, King's IoP, and in the US at the University of New Mexico.
The assumption behind measures of school effectiveness is that changes in student performance over time must be explained by the quality of the school environment. So the quality of education can be measured by the amount of improvement over time.
However, using data on school performance over time from 4000 pairs of twins from the Twins Early Development Study the researchers have shown that this and other approaches to assessing school quality do not measure the school environment alone. Perhaps unexpectedly, these measures are also substantially influenced by genetic factors that children bring to the classroom.
Dr. Claire Haworth, a lecturer at the King's IoP and lead author of the study said: "These findings do not mean that educational quality is unimportant, in fact environmental factors were just as important as genetic factors. However, these results do suggest that children bring characteristics to the classroom that influence how well they will take advantage of the quality.
She continues "Consider a classroom full of students being taught by the same teacher. Some children will improve more than other children, even though their educational experience at school is the same."
Future research will aim to identify which characteristics in the child allow them to gain more from their educational experience. High on the list of candidates are motivation, persistence, and self-control, all of which are already known to show genetic as well as environmental influence, and are likely to affect school learning.
This genetic perspective on education suggests moving away from thinking of children as passive recipients of knowledge in education to an active view of learning in which children select, modify and create their own education in part on the basis of their genetic propensities. The research supports the trend towards personalizing education to each child's individual strengths and weaknesses.

During the Allied bombing of Germany, Hitler was more distressed by the loss of cultural treasures than by the leveling of homes. Remarkably, his propagandists broadcast this fact, convinced that it would reveal not his callousness but his sensitivity: the destruction had failed to crush his artist's spirit. It is impossible to begin to make sense of this thinking without understanding what Wolf Lepenies calls The Seduction of Culture in German History.
This fascinating and unusual book tells the story of an arguably catastrophic German habit--that of valuing cultural achievement above all else and envisioning it as a noble substitute for politics. Lepenies examines how this tendency has affected German history from the late eighteenth century to today. He argues that the German preference for art over politics is essential to understanding the peculiar nature of Nazism, including its aesthetic appeal to many Germans (and others) and the fact that Hitler and many in his circle were failed artists and intellectuals who seem to have practiced their politics as a substitute form of art.
In a series of historical, intellectual, literary, and artistic vignettes told in an essayistic style full of compelling aphorisms, this wide-ranging book pays special attention to Goethe and Thomas Mann, and also contains brilliant discussions of such diverse figures as Novalis, Walt Whitman, Leo Strauss, and Allan Bloom. The Seduction of Culture in German History is concerned not only with Germany, but with how the German obsession with culture, sense of cultural superiority, and scorn of politics have affected its relations with other countries, France and the United States in particular.

About the Owner
We are a large family that enjoys traveling. We have a lot of family that lives in the Mesa area, so it made perfect sense for us to have a vacation home there. We currently live in Wyoming and this house provides an escape from the wind and cold.

great gathering place
The house was very convenient for restaurants and shopping the latter being important for my wife! As we were packing to leave my wife said she would like to come back to this home next year so that will be our plan.
A big thanks to the owners for a wonderful vacation.
Mesa Home
Excellent value
The Perfect Thanksgiving
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!
Put our vacation over the top!
From the Owner
"We have family that lives in Mesa so that was an easy choice. The actual house took us more that two years to find. We wanted it to be perfect. Close to everything and easy to get to while still offering a quite community. The property is located close to freeway access and that provides us quick routes to Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Its a short drive from anything and once your home it is quite and safe."

New Market Research Report "Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Global Markets to 2020" Has Been Added In MarketResearchReports.Biz's Reports Database.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A federal jury has unanimously held ExxonMobil liable for contaminating New York City's drinking water supply with the gasoline additive MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether).
By Chris Baltimore WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate panel will hear from Bush administration officials on Wednesday about possible gasoline shortages spurred by the oil industry's decision to remove a water-polluting additive from U.S. supplies.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Jersey's Acting Governor Richard Cody signed a bill on Thursday banning the gasoline additive MTBE in fuel sold in the state, with the ban taking effect January 2009. New Jersey will be the 25th state to phase out the fuel additive methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE.

I voted for CM Punk :rolleyes:
Why would you put that as an option in this poll? ;)
Printable View
I voted for CM Punk :rolleyes:
Why would you put that as an option in this poll? ;)
Are you guys serious? CM Punk has trouble headlining PPVs anyway, so the chance of a Punk vs Punk match just makes it harder lol
OT: Cena gets my vote, or at least he would if there was that option.
Dude what is up with the poll?
He is in character. That's his catchphrase 'Feed me more' - Why would you take that as he can't speak English and mama Ryback - Seriously.
Why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that Ryback will botch everything???
It is to soon for him to be in the main event but lets all see what happens.
This is a huge IF. I don't think the match will be one on one. It's going to be a triple threat match. Punk vs Ryback vs Cena. Some how it's going to fit in the storyline. It keeps Cena and Ryback in the main event and storyline and gives Ryback a chance to shine a little in a main event without pushing him to hard. It also lets Cena wrestle light and not have to be the main focus.
I went with Ryback just to see what he could he do and if the match would be watchable! we won't know until it happens!!
Middle school math class no idea what that is but i taught it was funny so yeah banana hammock :D
Granted I missed the end of it, but the bit in bold, why is everyone saying this? If he goes against Punk why add others, why not see him have a one on one.
Big Dave was a huge botch machine and he was multi world champion.
I think people need to give him a chance. If he fucks up he fucks up but lets see whats going to happen.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Responsive Web Design'.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Responsive Web Design'.
When Google announced its preference for user-friendly responsive websites in June 2012, I immediately saw an influx of posts that equated responsive design with search engine optimization. This is unfortunate because, while responsive websites can be SEO-friendly, some responsive websites are not.
I've detailed some of the common errors that give responsive websites problems in search results in an article on Search Engine Land earlier this year, so it's nice to be able to do a more in-depth SEO audit of a responsive website here on Smashing Magazine.Read more...
Responsive images are one of the biggest sources of frustration in the Web development community. With good reason, too: The average size of pages has grown from 1 MB to a staggering 1.5 MB in the last year alone. Images account for more than 60% of that growth, and this percentage will only go up.
Much of that page weight could be reduced if images were conditionally optimized based on device width, pixel density and modern image formats (such as WebP). These reductions would result in faster loading times and in users who are more engaged and who would stick around longer.Read more...
Editor's Note: This article features just one of the many solutions for creating high-performance mobile websites. We suggest that you review different approaches such as Building A Responsive Web App, Improving Mobile Support and Making Your Websites Faster before choosing a particular solution.
This article explains how to use RESS (responsive design with server-side components) to make significant performance and reach improvements to a website for both mobile and desktop devices alike. This technique requires just a few lines of code, some simple configuration and no ongoing maintenance.
Your website will change from one that works on desktops, tablets and smartphones to one that works on almost anything anywhere and loads faster in all cases. It's hard to over-emphasize the importance of this, but if you need a good case study, read about what happened to YouTube when Google lightened its pages (spoiler: entire new territories opened up to it).Read more...
The aim of republishing the original article by Yoav is to raise awareness and support the discussion about solutions for responsive images. We look forward to your opinions and thoughts in the comments section! – Ed.
It's been a year since I last wrote about it, but the dream of a "magical" image format that will solve world hunger and/or the responsive images problem (whichever comes first) lives on. A few weeks back, I started wondering if such an image format could be used to solve both the art direction and resolution-switching use cases.
I had a few ideas on how this could be done, so I created a prototype to prove its feasibility. The prototype is now available, ready to be tinkered with. In this post, I'll explain what this prototype does, what it cannot do, how it works, and its advantages and disadvantages relative to markup solutions.Read more...
Five-inch mobile devices are on the market that have the same screen resolution as 50-inch TVs. We have users with unlimited high-speed broadband as well as users who pay money for each megabyte transferred. Responsive design for images is about optimizing the process of serving images to users.
In this article, we will share our responsive image technique, the "padding-bottom" technique, which we researched and implemented on the mobile version of the Swedish news website Aftonbladet.Read more...
Central to a solid user experience is a well-structured, simple navigation system. Over the past few months, I've been involved in launching two large institutional websites with complex navigation systems.
Maintaining simplicity on such large websites becomes increasingly difficult as content requirements grow and tiers of navigation are added, not to mention the extra complexity added by small screens.Read more...
WebKit has made some serious news by finally implementing the
srcset attribute. As Chair of the W3C's Responsive Images Community Group, I've been alternately hoping for and dreading this moment for some time now. It turns out to be good news for all involved parties—the users browsing the Web, most of all.
As with all matters pertaining to "responsive images": it's complicated, and it can be hard keeping up with the signal in all the noise. Here's what you need to know. As originally proposed, the
srcset attribute allowed developers to specify a list of sources for an image attribute, to be delivered based on the pixel density of the user's display:
Editor's Note: This article features just one of the many solutions for creating high-performance mobile websites. We suggest that you review different approaches such as Building A Responsive Web App, Improving Mobile Support and Making Your Websites Faster before choosing a particular solution.
People start to lose interest in a website if they don't get a response within three seconds. Fulfilling this expectation for mobile phone users requires a different approach to usage analysis, design and testing.
This article expands on the techniques that Johan Johansson explains in his article "How to Make Your Websites Faster on Mobile Devices," published in April 2013. We'll demonstrate methods to identify how people interact with a website differently on mobile devices, and the design decisions that can be made based on this understanding.Read more...

Make a list of all pitchers that you consider great in the last 20 years. Many (not all) were traded before they broke through.
I'd even go so far to say that the homegrown ace like Oswalt or Glavine is the exception more than the rule.
R Johnson, Curt Schilling, Pedro, Smoltz, Rijo, Danny Jackson..
all traded.. Garza was just traded this season.
really, the only difference compared to last year is that the Reds see Homer as being less valuable to the Reds and have therefore made him available for that "maximum offer". Also, Redszoners are more interested in trading the guy.
but his trade value is pretty much the same.
Last year, Homer was untouchable. This year, he's available.
IMO, that's telling about what Wayne thinks. Maybe his value is the same to you, but not Wayne. If the A's thought highly of Homer as highly, we'd probably have Haren now.
