The Mabinogion
OUP Oxford, Apr 17, 2008 - Fiction - 336 pages
'I cannot be killed indoors,' he said, 'nor out of doors; I cannot be killed on horseback, nor on foot.' 'Well,' she said, 'how can you be killed?' Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history - these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as the Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar. Dragons, witches, and giants live alongside kings and heroes, and quests of honour, revenge, and love are set against the backdrop of a country struggling to retain its independence. This new translation, the first for thirty years, recreates the storytelling world of medieval Wales and re-invests the tales with the power of performance. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

iHerb Customer Reviews
So much for "all natural"... still contains aluminium salts.
alcloxa is an aluminum salt from the comfrey plant from which we get allantoin-it is safe and is used in many OTC products-just read the label and see if it is listed-I have used this product for several years and bought it from a health food store-I have had problems finding a effective deodorant and this one works great- OTC deodorants-in a few hours my armpits smelled like onions-yuck-this product has been very effective for me and have had no problems with it-will continue to use it and hope it is never discontinued-Mary

I am working on a pop out for videos on a website I am doing some development work for. The idea is to click on a thumbnail of the video and then the video pop's off the page. Like how facebook works with their image viewer. I currently have a div tag with it's CSS display attribute set to hidden and an iframe with no src. When a user clicks on the thumbnail for the video I have JavaScript load the appropriate youtube embed link into iframe by this method:
document.getElementById('iframe-id').src = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/(videoID)";
The video is set to automatically start playing. When a user exits the popped off content the src of the iframe is then set to "" by the same method. It works fine, and the video is no longer in the iframe. The issue is with the back button.
Here is my process leading to my problem:
- I click on the thumbnail and the video pops off and starts playing.
- I close the popped off content.
- I press the back button.
- The video I popped off previously is playing in the background. (The Problem)
Here is what I know of the process that is happening:
- The page that is being viewed has two instances created back to back in the history of a browser. (ie I press the back button and I am on the same page still.. this is also when the video starts playing in particular browsers)
- When I leave the popped off content open and press the back button I see just an empty iframe.
I believe my issue lies in the fact that I am changing the src to the iframe. The process of that seems to be causing the browser to load the page again and create a second instance of the same page in the history (where reloading a page does not). When the back button is pressed the page goes to the previous instance, but depending on the browser the hidden iframe is not always empty and the video is playing.
My question(s):
- Can this issue be resolved with JavaScript?
- If it can't what could accomplish the task I am trying with out the issue creating two seperate instances of the same page? I was thinking AJAX might be the solution, but I don't know. I am still a little new to this all.

"Good old Canada are back with yet another, though this act actually aren't a newly formed sensation - they originally joined forces in 1991, that same year from whence fellow Canadian melodic rock monsters Von Groove and Harem Scarem unleashed their debut cornerstones. Damn Pigeon got it back off the ground however hence this smashing modern day pop rock treat. Trippy, bluesy guitars, set at all rhythms in the range just melt into each other with the solos sizzling on top. The breezy, deep voice of frontman Doug Weir smokes hot on top of it to tell you dishes including 'I'm Down', 'Gift Horse','Tomorrow', 'If I Can't Have You', 'Benjamin Suicide', 'Who Cares' and 'Dead Man's Shoes' are ready for serving with big toppings of barbecue sauce. Sturdy, slick, modern hard rock with an innocent alternative taste on top, Pigeon's five lads live an enviable all year long summer by the sounds of this album. Perhaps we ought to hop in the open-topped motor and make our way out"
"Former Syre frontman Doug Weir's new band Damn Pigeon released this album of excellent Melodic Rock songs in 2014. While I am a little slow writing this review I have not stopped playing and enjoying this disc... After getting this album and putting it on my stereo I really liked the sounds instantly. It was familiar yet different. It was melodic yet had heavy aspects to it. It was raw with some great production. I liked it and it hasn't been far from my player ever since. The song "Gift Horse" really stands out as an all out rocker. It just kicks on all levels, the groove, the beat…everything. Another of my favourite tracks is "Asshole Lives" with it's true to life lyrics. This is probably the heaviest song on the album with the bass just really prominent in the mix then an over the top guitar solo just brings it home. The other standout to me is "Dead Man's Shoes" with more of that upfront bass. Just a killer track all around. Melodic Rock at it's finest. "
"...the overall feeling is one of happiness. This sort of rock will never die and when it's done in its purest form, you can't really argue with it. Recoop, listen to the Damn Pigeon."
"Always rising from the ashes (hence the name) they've released a decent slab of '70s influenced rock that keeps you interested and has enough rock to keep your boogie foot tapping away like a woodpecker on drugs. Opener 'I'm Down' is a simple rocker with shades of both early Whitesnake and bands such as America or Kansas - simplicity is key - and it introduces you to the two key elements in this band: the vocals and the blistering yet subtle guitar work. 'Gift Horse' is a classic tale of threesome love and is arguably the best track on here and brings the bluegrass element to the table, whilst 'Sun In Our Eyes' brings home the classic American rock stylings of balladeering loss. The acerbic 'Asshole Lives' is also worth a mention for its true lyrics and straight forward approach..."
"Lyrically, there is an "otherwise" to go with the (perhaps inevitable) "gypsy woman" (unless JBNBlog's ears are worse than usual) … & the transition from the slow doomed & determined Who Cares? to the defiant "asshole people leading Asshole Lives" proves Damn Pigeon has its anger all the way up to 11 as needed. Also intriguing is the eerie monaural start to Re-Coop called I'm Down … anyone know the story behind that? Sounds great as if its fading in from some other long-lost planet of metal. Meanwhile, here's a JBNBlog geographic (or geological) theory of London-region rawk . . . St. Thomas produces more terrific bands than many bigger places. Any thoughts on that — or why it might be?"
"Somehow, Damn Pigeon has been flying under JBNBlog's radar since about 1991 . . . the excellent St. Thomas band came to attention here thanks to its guitarist/vocalist/producer/recording engineer Joe Edmiston. Re-Coop is a damfine album … lotsa butt-kicking drive & guitar (Joe & his allies) & #ldnont ace Doug Weir can shout & scream with the best of them … extra nod to Jason Latimer. From background material, it appears Jason joined DP after helping Wuud claim the No. 10 spot in the 2012 Free Press list of London albums."
"SYRE Singer Joins DAMN PIGEON Rock Hard Posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 22:14:58 EST Doug Weir of SYRE fame has joined Canadian hard-rock band DAMN PIGEON. They've written some new songs and are very pleased to announce the release of a new album, Re-Coop. Based out of St. Thomas, Ontario, this versatile five-piece guitar-rock outfit is following up their 2010 debut Dismal Reviews with this new album featuring twelve original songs. While perhaps best described as hard guitar-rock, the band has a delightful capacity to surprise, and an unapologetic tendency to bend genres. Doug Weir is best known for his work as lead vocalist for Syre, a Canadian hard-rock band on A&M Records in the eighties and nineties. He's provided backing vocals for several HELIX albums, as well as worked on a number of charity albums."
"This rockin' tight band understands the emotional power and complexity of dissonance, of angry harmony. In between their slick tight grooves, you will find those treasured 'bad' notes, the intervals Frank Zappa described as 'mean' when he first listened to Edgar Varese as a teenager. There are large brains hidden under the hood of this sonic hot rod."
"There are no " Excuses " not to play this song list.The whole page simply rocks.You could end up feeling " Guilty " if you don't play them all."
"Compelling, well-crafted compositions supported by superior performance and production!"
"That's some Damn Pigeon stuff bullseyeing my speakers right now. Blindly is amazing. Great progressions. That bass is crunchy, punchy and on target. The vocal is its typical wild self."
"Damn Pigeon has persevered through plenty of turmoil, and overcome any obstacles put in its way. The group writes and plays together like it's second nature. Amazing sound! Bends in the prog-metal direction, but whatever they're doing they're doing it with style and professionalism. "Excuses" and "The Lamb" are as good as anything on RN."
"If you're looking for a great band that puts on an awesome show, I highly recommend Damn Pigeon !!"
"King Minion is honored to have the band Damn Pigeon from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada on the show. You heard their song "Dismal Reviews". I have total praise for this very proficient and professional sounding band. No dismal reviews from this King. Remember the days when bands started out playing cover songs then progressed into their own material yet retaining the musical ambience of the great rock artists that influenced them. That is Damn Pigeon. Read their bio on Reverbnation. The evolution of Damn Pigeon since 1991 is a testament to the human and musical spirit that lives on in all of us. Life has a way of challenging musicians yet Damn Pigeon rose to meet the adversity. It is tragic to lose the lead singer of a band to cancer yet the passion and determination of Steve Phillips to finish the vocals on their album is the gift he shares with us. I have said this before, "Who we are in life is defined by what we leave behind"."
"There is nothing quite like watching a pro band perform .The way they interact with the crowd and play with absolute confidence..."
"Over the past few months, the guys have been writing new songs - much of 'Dismal Reviews' was written a number of years ago - and hope to head back to the studio this summer. In the meantime, the five fellows - Joe Edmiston, guitars and vocals, Doug Weir, guitars and lead vocals, Steve Proctor, guitars, Bill Higgs, drums and Proud, bass - are ready to rock some new and some old, and some favourite covers..."
"What's in a name? Happily, for St. Thomas rockers Damn Pigeon, not much. The group's 2010 recording, 'Dismal Reviews', has been greeted by anything but...
"You've got to love Damn Pigeon - the only band that gives it's audience chocolate!"
"If you frequent the city's downtown you know all about those damn pigeons, especially at the corner of Talbot St. and Princess Ave. But there's one Damn Pigeon different than the rest. That bird is a rock & roll band...they play a brand of heavy rock that won't make you curse as their sonic flight passes overhead, unlike those Talbot St. at Princess Ave. foul-feathered tenants.
"There is one main thing that sets Damn Pigeon apart from most of the other locals. Originality. This band wants to be themselves. That goes from writing the type of music they want, playing what they want and playing when they want. If any of their fans are wondering where they've been over the past few months, Damn Pigeon have been on a bit of a song-writing hiatus."

The Drawing Board: Flower power
I don't know a cartoonist who doesn't love drawing people as animals, plants, buildings, anything but a normal person. It is great fun trying to use their features and mould them into something completely different. Having said that, these characters haven't really been morphed too much by me into plants. I've just stuck their heads on some leaves and coloured them green. Anyway, my point is that it makes a refreshing change for us to not just do politicians in a suit…

|Applauding the New Texting Ban
|By Paula Gold GateHouse News Service Littleton — There is no dispute that texting while driving has become a dangerous epidemic in the United States, resulting in tragic accidents nationwide.

The law also implements other driver safety regulations and allows a doctor to alert the state when a patient might be a dangerous driver. This will no doubt lead to safer roads for all of us.

".... I don't like the right leaning judges...."
This is the bedrock of a democracy and we are killing it, shooting ourselves in the foot.
There's a saying that federal judges are annointed, not appointed, which is aimed at the hubris that some of the judges adopt, since there is almost no recourse to their actions, specifically their setting of political agendas.

The Reality of Brands: Towards an Ontology of Marketing
Grassl, Wolfgang, The American Journal of Economics and Sociology
Consumer goods, and particularly brands, are part of our common-sense world. Yet marketing, the discipline that studies these phenomena, has so far taken little notice of attempts to develop theories of domains of common-sense reality by investigating its own ontology. Received marketing theory holds that "only philosophers can afford to define products in ontological terms, and that is only because for them it makes no operational difference what the definition is" (Levitt, 1969:11). This view betrays some basic misunderstandings.
If ontological analysis has been applied to geographical space, linguistic categories, real estate, visual perception, intellectual property rights, 'naive physics', cyberspace, ethical values, technical artifacts, social relations, and economic objects, something as central in our lives as the domain of commercial products should certainly afford an equal degree of analytical scrutiny (see, e.g., Smith, 1995, 1998, 1999; Smith and Casati, 1994; Simons and Dement, 1996; Smith and Varzi, 1999a; Smith and Mark, 1999).
The ontology of the commercial world is of great complexity. This has been recognized in the few attempts to reconstruct or model the categorial framework in which we consider market relations. Economic theory is based on primitive concepts such as: economic good, commodity, money, value, price, and exchange. But it permits only few implications for purposes of marketing, which studies objects not only under the aspect of their specific utility for consumers but, going beyond the domain of economics, also in regard to the opportunities, strategies and techniques of influencing utility and exchange relations. One single project to develop an ontology of business enterprises within an artificial intelligence framework has thus far been undertaken, using the notion of brand as one of its primitives (Uschold, King Moralee and Zorgios 1998).
One of the problems every ontological investigation encounters resides in the fact that we can, at one and the same time, classify a region of common-sense reality as comprising (physical or immaterial) objects, economic goods, products, and brands. The subject areas of chemistry, physics, cognitive psychology, economics and marketing overlap, and ontological clarification is needed to identify why and how we deal with the same object differently in marketing than, say, in microeconomic price theory.
Over the past two decades, much of marketing theory has focussed on explaining brand equity. It has been recognized that brands are often the most valuable corporate assets, exceeding less dominant products both in terms of consumer awareness and of financial valuation. The question remains, however, what exactly constitutes brand equity. What causes products such as Coca-Cola, the Hershey chocolate bar or Campbell's soup to be 'deep' brands and to profit from a price premium while other colas, candies or soups do not? More precisely, the challenge is to find "a way of bridging the gap between the intangible perceptions of a brand and the revenues realized from it" (Dyson, Farr and Hollis 1995: 10). Only this will adequately explain why companies founded on strong brands are often acquired for a multiple of their book value.
There are theories that see brand equity as being anchored in consumer awareness, as intangible assets of companies, or as a theoretical construct which is functionally dependent on brand management (Aaker, 1996; Keller, 1993, 1998). Consumers perceive brand equity as the value added to a product by associating it with a brand name and other distinctive characteristics. Customer-based brand equity, then, depends on the degree to which consumers are familiar with products and "hold some favorable, strong, and unique brand associations in memory" (Keller, 1993: 2). Considering the matter from a financial perspective, companies view brand equity as the net present value of the future profit stream that can be attributed to the price premium of the brand. …

Is there a complete kit for product photography?
May 15, 2013
I'm looking into getting into product photography just for my own hobby collection items (small things like lens etc). I see there are kits out there that include lamps and tents etc. But is there a kit that does both black and white backdrop? Most of these tents are white. Also, is there a kit that can help me make the reflection? I'm not sure I need the lamps as I already have a few expensive speedlights and diffusers?

Rocco Baldelli didn't respond well after playing Tuesday, leaving a scheduled appearance as a DH one of the next two days in doubt.
"He just wasn't up to speed and I've just got to make sure with (head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield) this being the vague situation that it is," manager Joe Maddon said. "I'm just really not sure that he's going to be able to play (Friday) based on recovery after the last time out." It seems pretty ridiculous that Baldelli is apparently still so far away from 100 percent after having all winter to overcome his hamstring injuries. It doesn't figure that an extra week or two of rest is going to do him any good now. Perhaps it's already time to start thinking about writing him off for the season.

Creative Game Box Design: Unusual game boxes designed to look like something else
- Ender Wiggins
I've got the list started with a few great examples, including a game box that looks like a book, a cigar box, a bullet, and a mustard bottle. But I'm sure there must be many other eligible games out there, and I'd love to see them on this list!
Please add any suitable games that belong on this list (with images if possible). To be eligible for this list, a box needs to be more that just an impressive box, but it must specifically be designed to look like something else.

The Mount Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance invites citizens of and the surrounding counties to the fourth and final Legislative Briefing of the 2011 legislative session Saturday, April 30, 8:30-10:00 a.m., in the International Room of Chadwick Library on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College.
The forum will focus on challenges confronting Iowa's court system, with Mr. Dave Helman, a retired federal prison warden and member of the nominating committee in Judicial District 8B, moderating.
Representative Dave Heaton, R-Mount Pleasant, and Sen. Gene Fraise, D-Fort Madison, will attend and have been encouraged to invite fellow lawmakers with a particular interest in the day's topic. Senator Fraise is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Chamber Alliance also is inviting area attorneys, judges, court clerks, and other professionals with a direct tie to the court system to participate and speak. A primary goal of the event is to inform the general public about the structure, function and activities of the court system and how the system is impacted by funding changes and other factors.
The first 45 minutes of the forum will be reserved for discussion of the primary topic, with the final 45 minutes left open for other issues of importance to state government. The audience is encouraged to offer questions and ideas in a constructive dialogue with legislators. The final 45 minutes will be left open for discussion of other issues.
The Chamber Alliance extends a special invitation to area healthcare professionals. In addition, the Chamber Alliance wishes to thank Iowa Wesleyan College for hosting the 2011 legislative briefings.

The Tower by ApneicMonkey ( Suggested by SavageFrog and Featured by Shue13 )
Do you have any more information on that project? (I'm partially curious because this is exactly the style of art I was aiming for in one of my own in-dev personal projects.)
It's just a story about the human colonization of other worlds - this painting takes place on Earth though and is about a crisis that is happening off-world.
congrats on your DD for this awesome piece!
love it!
Very impressive. Love the detail. At first I thought it was a rendition of the Shepard/Garrus bottle shooting bromance sequence in Mass Effect.
One of the best parts of not only ME3 but the whole trilogy! I love that my painting made you think of that scene.
This is awesome! !

Congrats for the DD
There's a really great example of artistic balance from top to bottom with the building and the car. The building has a lot of small, detailed parts while the car is larger from being closer, with little detail across. I get the distinct feeling of depth in the image as well as implied speed of the cars on the street. There's also a narrative being told with the details both literally with the billboards in the background with breaking news and figuratively with the sentries standing over the street with rifles - as if it's business as usual in this seemingly dystopian setting. The colors you chose also work to set up both balance between top and bottom and add to the story being told. The hard grey colors below offset the soft peach colors above the city and show that humanity has deviated much from nature. All in all, it's a great work and I'm proud to add it to my favorites folder.
Thank you for such an in-depth comment, I appreciate your time and interest in my work.
Not a problem at all. In-depth comments are better for everyone. It lets the artist know what they strive in and what they could improve on. Also I like leaving critiques because I love it when people leave them for me ^_^
What a great work you did with the city
Wow! Amazing work! XD
This is so amazing! I really love this style and composition! Congratulations!
Very Good!!!!

Does anyone see the faint structure in the sky in the top left
It's probably a leftover element from one of the photo or texture overlays I used.
I think its the lighting but yeah I see it.

Hi! I'm Mike Walsh and this is my website, The Dugout Scoop: The Dirt on Ballpark Mysteries.
You either know me and Kate or you know the books written about us, Ballpark Mysteries (Random House). Anyway, you like baseball and there is plenty of that here.
You can follow our trips to ballparks on my blog or read more about the books written by author, David A. Kelly about our past 'ballpark mysteries. Or, you can check out this video of one of the Ballpark Mysteries fans getting the latest Ballpark Mysteries book in the mail–this is how Kate and I feel when we get our copies!
Last, but not least, check out the two newest Ballpark Mysteries books:
THE TIGER TROUBLES and THE ROOKIE BLUE JAY.
In The Tiger Troubles, Kate and Mike are in Detroit to see Tony, the famous Detroit Tigers player. But when they found out that someone's taken something special of Tony's, they set out to find the troublemaker.
In The Rookie Blue Jay, Mike and Kate can't wait to watch their rookie hero Dusty Martin in action. But something is throwing the Blue Jays' star off his game. Then, when no one else is looking, Mike sees mysterious ghost lights flying across the field. Is the ballpark haunted? And could Dusty have seen the lights, too?

Walker Cancels Announcement, Wants to Visit LSU
Marcus Walker of Waco, Texas is one of the nation's top-100 football recruits and he was about ready to announce his college decision but now he wants more information.Cornerback prospect
Walker stands at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds. He finished his senior season with 30 tackles, one tackle for loss, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He also had two kick returns for 80 yards with a long of 51. He did not make any interceptions due to very few balls coming on his side of the field.
LSU offensive line coach Stacy Searels is recruiting Walker for the Tiger staff.
"I just got off the phone with Coach Searels," Walker said. "He was saying that is going to come by the school next week and he was talking about my visit."
Walker has one official visit remaining and that is to LSU on the weekend of January 16. He has already visited Florida State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
The Nation's No. 4 cornerback prospect according to Rivals.com was scheduled to announce his commitment Tuesday evening on "Inside Southwest Recruiting" with Bobby Burton but LSU's national championship Sunday through a monkey wrench into those plans.
"I watched the Sugar Bowl and it was a good game," Walker said. "They fought hard and the LSU defense played real good. They run a lot of man coverage and they were disrupting a lot of pass patterns and the linemen were getting pressure on the quarterback."
Searels has talked with Walker about LSU's depth chart at cornerback and what the competition looks like at the position.
"They have Corey Webster and he may or may not come back, then they have other corners but not many with too much game experience so I fit in with what they are looking for," Walker said.
Walker was asked which schools he would choose from when making a decision and he said, "Oklahoma, Florida State and LSU."
He added that he plans to announce his decision soon after returning home from his official visit to LSU.

The San Antonio Spurs have been one of the two best teams in basketball so far, and their midseason grade reflects that.
Gregg Popovich is a masterful NBA mind, but even he will tap into his own brilliance on back-to-back nights. If it continues to work this well, why the heck not?
Tim Duncan can still dish the rock as well as any big man in the NBA, so Kawhi Leonard was ready to throw down the epic alley-oop all over the lowly Brooklyn Nets.
The San Antonio Spurs' bench will make them tough to beat in a seven-game playoff series.
Tim Duncan recently had the first scoreless game of his NBA career, and his record for consecutive outings with a point will stand for quite a long time.
The San Antonio Spurs have been on point defensively, and this will make them a formidable playoff threat.
The San Antonio Spurs are already displaying fantastic team chemistry, and the best part is that LaMarcus Aldridge isn't done adjusting yet.
The San Antonio Spurs are off to a 14-3 start, and much of their early success can be attributed to their defense.

The team blog of the Expression Blend and Design
Hi everyone, When using Expression Blend, a common task you probably engage in is working with layout. Tasks I commonly associate with "working with layout" involve moving things around, rearranging the order of elements, ensuring everything flows when resized, changing your layout container, etc. For the most part, the changes you make to the layout of your application are pretty harmless…except when it involves DataContexts.
In a nutshell, data contexts allow you to specify the data that elements can inherit and work with. Seems pretty harmless so far. Data contexts can be set on pretty much anything, but because the data is inherited, data contexts are often placed on parent elements (such as a layout container) whose children will inherit the data:
What seemed harmless earlier now has the potential to cause trouble. Because data contexts are often placed on a layout container, and because data contexts primarily benefit any children listening in, you need to ensure that any layout changes you make do not cause your data context to break. The common ways your data context can break are:
Today, Blend does not let you know when you perform a layout operation that breaks data context. It is up to you to be vigilant, and you can see which element has a data context set on it by looking at its DataContext property:
If this property isn't empty, it means that a data context has been set on it. While having a data context set should not imply that data is actually being used, it is a good gauge on whether a layout operation you perform will have any negative side effects on the children involved.
Cheers! Kirupa =)
A very subtle issue - certainly could be a 'gotcha' for most designers, who are often not expert (aware?) of datacontext and the databinding framework.
Kind of goes to the heart of the personas used to design Blend. Is your 'designer' persona someone who is mostly visual? Or is there some expectation designers will learn the 'tricks' to WPF? Boundaries start to get very blurred with 'designers' on WPF.
At the end of the day WPF is good because its toolable, and Blend tries to expose the underlying building blocks in a designer friendly way... but IMO some technology must permeate through to the tool or else you run the risk of tools that become increasingly disconnected + designers who then have zero understanding of underlying technology. Which in my view always ends badly.
Reading between the lines it sounds like we can expect to see the Blend team "fix" this in a future version of Blend. :)
Having worked with Blend for some time now, I've been burned by this a couple of times.
Perhaps a warning bubble should appear telling you that a datacontext has been deleted? This would be the same as when you delete a control that has Visual State on it; you get a warning bubble at the top of the display.
I hope a future version (soon!) will include a feature such as this.
Zodman, from what I've seen in the Blend 4 RC, that feature still doesn't exist. As a newbie with XAML, I've already been burned by this. :(

Save Fernbank Science Center
According to the DeKalb County Schools' website, their mission is to "maximize students'...academic potential preparing them to compete in a global society." Sadly, the board is looking to possibly close Fernbank Science Center, threatening students' access to a wide range of educational opportunities in the sciences.
Fernbank Science Center's innovative Scientific Tools and Techniques (STT) program, which immerses 9th grade students in challenging, hands-on work in a variety of scientific fields, including Physics and Chemistry, could get the ax in these cuts.
According to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report, "the building and its 56 full-time employees now are looking like a luxury to school officials."
Among the 56 employees at Fernbank, are those who run the STT program--scientists with advanced degrees in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and other scientific fields.
Our children's future--our nation's future--depends on a firm foundation in science and technology. Let's not rob our children of every opportunity to compete in our global economy.
Let's save Fernbank Science Center and its valuable educational programming.

Nice, it really does look like the original cover art. It's just a pity you can't see Tails.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I just figured out a nice resizing trick, Prepare for a new more complete version of the icon
Sizing issue - It really is the cover image of the North American version, I just cropped the image. I will make a new version with more of the image in question as I just found a version thats nearly perfect. Unfortunately it will be half the size, but thats good enough..... I suppose.
Glad you liked It. I wanted the original cover art for Sonic 1, unfortunately I couldn't find a good version of it to work with.
Sonic is awesome!

My story has changed quite a lot since moving to Boulder, Colorado and starting Thissongissick back in 2010. My name is Nick Guarino and this is Thissongissick.com. We've grown a lot since, but the original goal has always stayed the same: making it easier for you to discover sick new music that you've never heard before. In high school I would make mix cd's for my friends to show them all the new music I was discovering. Now, through TSIS, we work with musicians and record labels from all over the world to showcase a variety of the freshest electronic, hip-hop, indie, and alternative music to a global following that is comprised of millions of music lovers in over 110 countries - every single month. So, make yourself at home while enjoying countless amazing musicians from a variety of genres and let the sick sounds fill your ears! - Nick
