Homicidal Jean by TDKevWatch
©2010-2016 TDKev
I Love the William Castle film "Homicidal" and particularly its rare actress, Jean Arless who so perfectly portrayed a Psycho killing Drag king.
Great work!
My God, thanks for noticing that one. I thought it was one of my forgotten ones. Cheers very much!
Awesome & Dangerous!
Glad you like that one. Cheers!
Very nice woman
Love this one! She looks like my kinda gal
Wow, amazing work! I love that psychotic look on her face; it's perfect!
You woke up my curiosity about this film!
It's fantastic! I've only seen it on the tele once, back in the 80s but managed to tape it on VHS. If there's a DVD I'm definately buying it.
I will do a better picture of her when I get the time.
I will do a better picture of her when I get the time.
that is some nice coloring ^_
Thanks. I'll have to do a better picture of her tho. This one's a bit sketchy, but I was in a hurry.
Excuses, excuses!
Excuses, excuses!
Gorgeous work, my friend! You always draw the most beautiful female legs I've seen! Makes me want to buy a pair!
Hahaha! Get yourself a nice pair of tights....I have!
I'm sure the Mrs wouldn't mind?
I'm sure the Mrs wouldn't mind?

We have successfully introduced green phosphors LaPO4:Ce, Tb (G4) or (Mg, Zn)Al11O19:Eu (G2) into TiO2 photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells. The conversion efficiency of the G4-doped device was enhanced by 30% compared with the pristine TiO2 photoelectrode. The green phosphor doped at 5-wt.% ratio contributed to the reduction of resistances of the surface and interface of the photoelectrode and to the great enhancement of the absorption spectrum in UV-visible and near-infrared regions. The internal resistances and absorbance of the photoelectrode directly affect the power conversion efficiency. Green phosphor plays an important role towards the realization of high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells.
The uses of different types of nanostructured materials in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have attracted worldwide attention as a low-cost alternative to traditional photovoltaic device [1–5]. This is because nanostructures of materials enhance the surface area to allow a higher amount of dye molecules to be adsorbed, and the nature of electron transport in oxide nanoparticle films is fairly well understood. The scientific community is still struggling to find optimum nanostructures and materials for the best solution to overcome issues associated with stability, efficiency, and cost-effective mass production [6, 7].
Normally, in DSSCs, photons interact with dye molecules to create excitons. These excitons come into contact with nanoparticles/nanostructures at the surface of the photoelectrode and are rapidly split into electrons and holes. Electrons are injected into the photoelectrode, and holes leave the opposite side of the device by means of redox species (traditionally the I−/I3− couple) in the liquid or solid-state electrolyte used in DSSCs to ensure efficient electron transfer to the redox couple [8–11]. It is important to apply different materials and structures to enhance light photon interaction with dye molecules to achieve a higher proportion of excitons.
Recent research shows that the implementation of a UV-absorbing luminescent wavelength converter (which is emitted at longer wavelengths) not only remarkably improves the photochemical stability of the DSSCs but also enhances the efficiency of the cell [3, 11–14].
LaPO4:Ce, Tb (G4) and (Mg, Zn)Al11O19:Eu (G2) have been widely used in tricolor phosphor lamps and PDP displays as highly effective green phosphor additives [15–18]. YVO4:Bi3+, Ln3+ (Ln = Dy, Er, Ho, Eu, and Sm) phosphors are proposed to be promising UV-absorbing spectral converters for DSSCs as they possess broad absorption band in the whole UV region of 250 to 400 nm and could emit intense visible lights. When excited by ultraviolet light, G4 emits 550 nm of light in the green region. Considering this point, the doping of green phosphors LaPO4:Ce, Tb or (Mg, Zn)Al11O19:Eu into TiO2 photoelectrodes could lead to higher efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to determine the morphology of this hybrid photoelectrode. The absorption and luminescence properties of dye and green phosphor ceramics were investigated using UV spectrophotometry and photoluminescence spectrometry. Electrochemical measurements were used to optimize the weight percentage of fluorescent materials doped in TiO2 photoelectrode, which had higher conversion efficiency (η), fill factor (FF), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and short-circuit current density (Jsc) as a result.
Anhydrous LiI, I2, poly(ethylene glycol) (mw = 20,000), nitric acid, and 4-tertiary butyl pyridine were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), and TiO2 powder (P25) was obtained from Nippon Aerosil (EVONIK Industries AG, Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany) and used as received. Ethanol was purchased from Daejung Chemicals & Metals Co. (Shiheung, Republic of Korea), and water molecules were removed by placing molecular sieves (3 Å) in the solvent. Commercially sourced bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylato)-ruthenium(II)-bis-tetrabutyl ammonium (N719 dye) and 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide were obtained from Solaronix SA (Aubonne, Switzerland). Green phosphors LaPO4:Ce, Tb and (Mg, Zn)Al11O19:Eu were obtained from Nichia Corporation (Tokushima, Japan). The electrolyte solution consisted of 0.3 M 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide, 0.5 M LiI, 0.05 M I2, and 0.5 M 4-tert-butylpyridine in 3-methoxypropionitile.
TiO2 powder was thoroughly dispersed for 10 h at 300 rpm using a ball mill (Planetary Mono Mill, FRITSCH, Oberstein, Germany), adding acetyl acetone, poly(ethylene glycol), and a Triton X-100 to obtain a viscous TiO2 paste. The doped green phosphors were added to the TiO2 paste and mixed in a ball mill for 2 h. The TiO2 and green phosphor-doped TiO2 pastes were coated onto fluorine-doped SnO2 conducting glass plates (FTO, 8 Ω cm−2, Pilkington, St. Helens, UK) using squeeze printing technique, followed by sintering at 450°C for 30 min. Approximately 8- to 10-μm-thick TiO2 film was deposited onto a 0.25-cm2 FTO glass substrate. Glass-FTO/TiO2 and phosphor-doped TiO2 electrodes were immersed overnight (ca. 24 h) in a 5 × 10−4 mol/L ethanol solution of Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2 (535-bis TBA, Solaronix), rinsed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried. A few drops of the liquid electrolyte were dispersed onto the surface, and a full cell assembly was constructed for electrochemical measurements. A Pt-coated FTO electrode was prepared as a counter electrode with an active area of 0.25 cm2. The Pt electrode was placed over the dye-adsorbed TiO2 thin film electrode, and the edges of the cell were sealed with 5-mm wide strips of 60-μm-thick sealing sheet (SX 1170–60, Solaronix). Sealing was accomplished by hot-pressing the two electrodes together at 110°C.
The surface morphology of the film was observed by FE-SEM (S-4700, Hitachi High-Tech, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan). A 450-W xenon lamp was used as light source for generating a monochromatic beam. Calibration was performed using a silicon photodiode, which was calibrated using an NIST-calibrated photodiode G425 as a standard. UV-visible (vis) spectra of the TiO2 film and TiO2 electrode with green phosphor powder added were measured with a UV–vis spectrophotometer (8453, Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). Photoluminescence spectra were recorded on Avantes BV (Apeldoorn, The Netherlands) spectrophotometer under the excitation of Nd:YAG laser beam (355 nm). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopies of the DSSCs were measured with an electrochemical workstation (CHI660A, CH Instruments Inc., TX, USA). The photovoltaic properties were investigated by measuring the current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics under irradiation of white light from a 450-W xenon lamp (Thermo Oriel Instruments, Irvine, CA, USA). Incident light intensity and active cell area were 100 mW cm−2 and 0.25 cm2, respectively.
where Jsc is the short-circuit current density (mA cm−2), Voc is the open-circuit voltage (V), Pin is the incident light power, and Jmax (mA cm−2) and Vmax (V) are the current density and voltage in the J-V curve at the point of maximum power output, respectively.

In summary, we have successfully introduced a 5-wt.% ratio of green phosphors G4 or G2 into the TiO2 photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells. The enhanced percentage of conversion efficiencies of devices doped with G4 or G2 were 30% and 16% with the open-circuit voltages of 0.67 and 0.68 V and the short-circuit currents of 17.8 and 16.5 mA cm−2, respectively. The fill factors were 0.67 and 0.64, respectively. The 5-wt.% doping ratio of green phosphor contributed to the reduction of the resistances of the surface and the interface of the photoelectrode and enhanced the absorption spectrum in the UV–vis and near-infrared regions. The internal resistances and absorbance of the photoelectrode directly affected the power conversion efficiency.

Affinity rules and anti-affinity rules tell the vSphere hypervisor platform to keep virtual entities together or separated. The rules, which can be applied as either required or preferred, help reduce traffic across networks and keep the virtual workload balanced on available hosts. If two virtual machines communicate frequently and should share a host, the VMware admin can create a VM-VM affinity rule to keep them together. Conversely, if two resource-hungry VMs would tax a host, an anti-affinity rule will keep those VMs from sharing a host.
Affinity rules and anti-affinity rules can be applied between VMs and hosts as well, and a VM can be subject to VM-VM affinity rules and VM-Host affinity rules at the same time. Affinity and anti-affinity rules in a vSphere environment can conflict with one another. For example, two VMs with an anti-affinity relationship may both be linked to a third VM via an affinity rule, but they cannot share a host. Optional affinity rule violation alarms can alert administrators to these events.

'Dancing With the Stars': This season's celebrities will be ...
An NFL star, a former TV super nerd and a Motown star — it could only mean the return of "Dancing With the Stars." The next team of celebrities (yes, that term is very elastic) for the 14th season of the ABC dance competition series was officially announced Tuesday (LIVE!, as host Tom Bergeron might proclaim) on "Good Morning America."
Child stars, singers, atheletes and TV hosts are aplenty this season. But has the sheen worn off the dance floor? Last season's finale, which saw sentimental favorite J.R. Martinez take home the mirror ball trophy, was the lowest-rated fall finale to date and was down significantly in the demographic of viewers ages 18 to 49 from the previous fall finale. Maybe the roster for this season will be enough to give the series a boost.
The 14th season will have a two-hour premiere Monday, March 19.
Here's the list of celebrities who will be getting sequined up this season:
JALEEL WHITE: Years of wearing skintight pants hiked up to his chin as TV's nerdiest neighbor, Steve Urkel, in the long-running sitcom "Family Matters" did not leave White's legs immobile. The 35-year-old actor, who, post-Urkel fame, has appeared on "House" and "NCIS," and will soon be hosting a game show on the SyFy network, will get his dance on this season. Let's hope he channels the suave moves of Urkel's alter ego Stefan rather than Urkerl's two left feet, or he might soon find himself saying, "Did I do that?"
MELISSA GILBERT: It's the sort of gig Nellie Oleson might yank Laura Ingall's perfectly braided pigtails over. The former child star best known for her role as Laura in "Little House on the Prairie," who went on to make a career out of appearing in TV movies and as a leader of the Screen Actors Guild, will be putting on those strappy dancing heels and even strappier dancing outfits.
JACK WAGNER: It's the only logical next step in life after a split from Heather Locklear, right? The aging hearthrob (he's 52! Where did the time go? ) best known for his roles on "General Hospital" (Oh, Frisco Jones!), "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "Melrose Place," will see if he has what it takes to cut a rug and land some decent scores.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: Perhaps Shepherd was tired of the sedentary life that comes with co-hosting "The View"? Guess the comedian doesn't have enough on her plate to get those legs moving. She's also host of "The Newlywed Game." Here's hoping her pal Niecy Nash, a contestant in Season 10, has given her some words of wisdom.
MARIA MENOUNOS: The "Extra" host knows a thing or two about skimpy outfits — ahem, she donned a bikini in the middle of freezing Time Square after losing a Super Bowl bet — so some skimpy sequined numbers under the warmth of bright lights will be a piece of cake when she joins the cast of celebrities competing this season. We're sure "Extra" buddy Mario Lopez, a former "Dancing" contestant, also provided words of caution on those pesky plunging necklines.
GAVIN DEGRAW: Maybe now the rocker's biggest claim to TV fame won't be for having penned that "One Tree Hill" theme song. Will the 35-year-old singer, who recently made headlines after he was attacked by a group of men in New York City, be adding choreography to his performances after his stint on "DWTS"? Gosh, we hope not.
WILLIAM LEVY: We really hope rumors of a relationship with Jennifer Lopez shortly after she divorced Marc Anthony weren't what nabbed the Cuban-American actor / model a spot on this season's roster. But we wouldn't be surprised. Unless, maybe, just maybe, the casting director is an avid telenovela watcher?
GLADYS KNIGHT: The 67-year-old singer is taking the midnight train to the dance rehearsal studio. Tagged the Empress of Soul, she's almost bound to have some soulful moves — or does she?
ROSHON FEGAN: The 20-year-old appears on a Disney Channel series called "Shake It Up," about a group of friends who are (gasp!) professional dancers on a local show. Uh ...
KATHERINE JENKINS: Opera fans, rejoice! The Welsh mezzo-soprano is already familiar with the sleek floor on "Dancing With the Stars," having observed its sheen as a performer on the show last year.
DONALD DRIVER: As if moonlighting as a children's author wasn't enough! The Green Bay Packers wide receiver is ditching the cleats for some ballroom shoes. Will Quickie be as swift with the upcoming choreography he'll be given?
MARTINA NAVRATILOVA: Wielding a racket is a natural precursor to a stint as a wannabe pro ballroom dancer. Hey, Navratilova played professional tennis until she was 49 (49!) — that sort of dedication and resilience has her primed for a lengthy stay, don't you think? And she's already used to short skirts.

Fall by InterceptoWatch
©2010-2016 Intercepto
On Friday DARG facility 3 (dark energy research group) ran their first experiment in reactor. Unfortunately something went wrong, and the strange non destructive explosion happened, forming a giant plasma bubble around facility. Unable to understand what they created scientists decided to evacuate facility, and monitor the phenomenon from distance. But, on the third day something devastating happened ... implosion forming around planet and imploding towards plasma bubble wiped out life of every living organism on earth... and again, without any material destruction. Everything just died. Ironically as it gets, the plasma that was created in first explosion was actually a protective shield, a safe zone... and not only that, it was bursting with some strange sort of energy amplifying life in all organisms left inside the plasma. The problem was that except for microorganisms, the only biological life left in the bubble was the seed in the trash... which after 1 year grew and formed what's known as the tree of resurrection. What scientists never knew was that dark energy was actually parallel spiritual world formed to give life to all biological life on earth... but, as with other things in nature it had its defense mechanism which human curiosity triggered. The proof that life is more than just a matter, actually came on our last day. Maybe it was never our destiny to get the answer to ultimate question.

Mermaid Anatomy by psychoviolinist1012Watch
©2013-2016 psychoviolinist1012
Soooo I was bored a few days ago and had this idea... So I made a chart of a couple kinds of mermaid anatomy. It is by no means a complete chart (since I only included types of mermaids with a human pelvic bone), nor is it especially anatomically correct, since I haven't taken any real anatomy classes and can't really draw bones that well, but I had fun making it and wanted to share it
It also was on the counter when I was painting so it got a little splattered... Oh well
It also was on the counter when I was painting so it got a little splattered... Oh well
So basically the first two are "people in a mermaid costume" and the last two are "what a mermaid would actually probably be like"?
Basically yes. There are lots of other kinds of "what a mermaid would actually probably be like" that I didn't get to, since I was sort of just working with fish-type mermaids and was operating under the assumption that mermaids would have human pelvic bones, but I might do them later...

Last update: January 7, 2016.
GMLP is a simple set of functions for converting text from any markup language to any other text.
Here is more on the GMLP Design. Here is a new in-depth look at the default GMLP markup and the reasoning behind the GMLP code.
See also GMLP on Github.
GMLP simply runs text input lines through various preg_replace() and/or str_replace() calls defined by an external array -- a user defined array. To help with more complex processing there are various function hooks to be called for each line, multiple lines (lists for example) or the entire text.
The algorithm is currently 600 lines and a basic definition file (data and code) is about 300 lines -- which means basic Markdown conversion in 900 lines (although right now it is not 100% and hastily written). The goal is full Markdown in only about 1,000 lines of code and data.
Some basic rules for processing text are that the text is delimited by newlines, with two consecutive newlines indicating a paragraph and empty paragraphs are ignored (but some defined rules may depend on blank lines).
Each paragraph is enclosed in

, and each single newline in a paragraph converted to a
. For example (with extra spaces for clarity):
TEXT: Line One
HTML:
Line One

TEXT: Line One\n\n Line Two
HTML:
Line One

Line Two

TEXT: Line One\n\n A\nB\nC\n\n Line Two
HTML:
Line One

A
B
C

Line Two

There is one caveat with converting the text to paragraphs, in that they should not contain block-level elements. If any markup creates block-level HTML elements they must be created outside of a paragraph. If the text contains any block-level elements they must not be enclosed in paragraphs. Here is an example:
TEXT: Line One\n
\n
item
\n
\n Line Two
HTML:
Line One

item

Line Two

GMLP does not know about the difference between inline and block elements, and does not track whether or not it is in a block element. But there are ways to deal with this. One is to define an array of block HTML elements and try to "look for them." One is to have rules to "handle" them. Another is, "Please don't do that."
With the creation of paragraphs -- or not -- no other processing of the text occurs by the code. Any other text conversion is only done by the "conversion rules" in the conversion definition data. If no conversion rules are defined, only these paragraphing rules are applied to the text.
There is more on the the basic Paragraph Algorithm. One stand out thing about this code is that it operates solely line-by-line and does look forward or back, so multiple-line markup (setext style markup) is not supported (not designed to be).
There are five types of conversions that can be defined. I call them:
All only occur according to the data definitions, and in a particular order. There are two special case data definitions, one to "skip a line" from the conversion process, and one to be applied to some of the Block conversions.
Conversions are processed as key/value associative arrays, with the key being replaced by the value, the exceptions being the Character and Block conversions explained below.
What follows is a brief summary of each type and then a detailed look at the mechanisms of each one.
These convert an entire line directly to a paragraph (enclosed within block-level HTML elements) by a regular expression generally beginning with a start of line meta-character (^). If the value is a function, the result is the function called with the match.
These replace a regular expression key with it's value. If the value is a function, the result is the function called with the match. These provide the bulk of the conversions.
The name refers to the default rule to convert certain characters to named entities, but these are simply an array of string replacements (and not regular expressions), with keys replaced by their values.
These replace character pairs with start and end tags, and are defined as single character keys with the value the tag replacements.
Block conversions have a start line, followed by any number of lines making up the block and then an end line. The start and end lines are regular expressions. Each block definition has a number of conditions that can be "applied" to the block. The defined start/end tags are in an HTML-like format, e.g. ..., with each one on it's own line, however, they can be any regular expression.
The regular expressions I came up with for these examples are not based on any existing markup language but are solely my personal preference. The purpose of GMLP is that any markup codes can be designed.
The conversion "rules" are arrays and placed into a PHP file which is then simply included by the code. The arrays are processed in a particular order -- conversions can affect other conversions. The order of the types of conversions is controlled by the code and not the data.
The Default Translation Data file -- something I created to support a personalized blog and not based on any known markup -- is viewable as well as for Markdown, Textile and the new To-Markdown.
What follows are details about each conversion array in the order that they are applied to the text.
The first array is the skip array and this test is performed first for all lines:
$translate['skip'] = array( "/^`(.*)'$/" );
Which means that lines beginning with a backtick (`) and ending with a single quote (') are ignored from processing, and those characters are discarded from the line--if the regular expression (RE) does not have a sub-pattern the line is used as-is.
This is a good example of what GMLP does--any regular expression can be used to skip a line. Two backticks? Double single quotes? Whatever. As with all the other conversion arrays there can also be more than one regular expression to meet the condition.
(One thing to note about the skip array is that it is a regular array and not an associative array as are most others.)
The next array is lines and they convert a line and then skip all further conversions. Three examples:
$translate['lines'] = array( '/^$/' => '', '/^h([1-6]):\s*(.*)/' => '<h$1>$2</h$1>' '/^[A-Z &\?\'!]+$/' => 'gmlp_convertcase', );
With the lines array the value is either a PHP function to be called on the line (or the first sub-pattern) or a RE replacement string; with the exception of an empty value meaning use the line as-is. For the last example the function is part of the translation code and it turns an uppercase line into a header element.
The Default Translation Functions are viewable.
Block conversions occur next by the code but are more complex and are explained later.
The inlines array is next and the value is either a PHP function to be called on the line or a RE replacement string and the code continues. Here is an example to convert `GNU style' markup, PHP functions (like preg_match() and echo('string')) and links:
$translate['inlines'] = array( '/`([^\'].*)\'/U' => '<code>`$1'', '/([a-zA-Z_]+\([^\)]*\))/' => 'gmlp_php_string', '/(http[s]*:\/\S*)([:;])([a-zA-Z0-9 ]+)/' => '$3', );
The first one uses ' to avoid some character translations that can occur later.
The entities array are simple string replacements, so named for they are like:
$translate['entities'] = array( '--' => '—' );
but, of course, they can be anything. Like, perhaps:
$translate['entities'] = array( '---' => '—', '--' => '–', 'xn–' => 'xn--', '...' => '…', '``' => '"', '\'\'' => '"', '(tm)' => '™', );
(Why that third one is backwards... I don't know.) This one is enabled by the definition array line:
$translate['entitytranslate'] = 1;
The chars array is last, and these enclose key delimited words with value HTML tags:
$translate['chars'] = array( '*' => 'b', '_' => 'u', '^' => 'em', '\'' => 'code', );
These are not just straight replacements though, as they try to figure out just what a word is:
Beginning of sentence: "Bold word."
Trailing punctuation: "Italic word."
Preserve inside chars: "$identifier_with_underscores;"
And intermixed: "This is bold with underline."
And not within HTML: font family Arial.
A block definition is an associative array defined with the following:
Of them, only "begin" and "end" are required, all others are optional and default to FALSE (and if no others are defined the result is that nothing will be done to the block).
Here is an example:
$translate['blocks']['html'] = array( 'begin' => '/^/', 'end' => '/^<\/html>/', 'replace' => 'htmlentities', 'pre' => '
', 'post' => '
' );
The html block starts with , ends with , runs each line through the PHP function htmlentities(), prefixes the block with
 and postfixes the block with
. Which is, this:
HTML example of bold.
will result in this:
HTML example of bold.
Another example is:
$translate['blocks']['php'] = array( 'begin' => '/^\s*<\?php/', 'end' => '/^\s*\?>/', 'post' => 'gmlp_highlightstr', 'first' => 1, 'last' => 1 );
where post is a function to call on the entire block (note how post has a dual use which is done to reduce data complexity), and first and last means to keep the begin and end lines in the block.
The function gmlp_highlightstr() is defined in the data definition file and is:
<?php function gmlp_highlightstr($s) { return highlight_string($s,TRUE); }?>
And a way to do PHP code without the <?php ?> by using <php></php>:
<?php ?>
function gmlp_highlightstr($s) { return highlight_string($s,TRUE); }
There is a similar block definition that encloses highlighted PHP in styled
 to do this:
The block convert function is not a pretty one. It is also a bit confusing. And it is a bit too long. And, well, you can See the Code for yourself.
GMLP works good enough as it currently is for a dozen regular expressions to define a markup language. The code is certainly not slow, but mostly that is due to the implementation of the PHP PCRE code.
There are two basic uses for GMLP: a Web application that wants to have simple markup for input data or converting text files to HTML. I use it for both.
The "markup" I chose are extremely simple and were developed to suit my style of writing. If you examine the "source" to the HTML you are viewing (gmlp.txt) you will see that it is mostly just straight text, with a few exceptions, in a format that is familiar.
Any HTML will be left as is. Using block-level tags may not turn out well though as they end up between
 tags. The lines array can directly allow some as in:
'/^
$/' => '',
and there are block definitions for
,
,
 and
, and any amount can be added (although it would be a bit tedious and data intensive).
HTML comments within a string, like this: (view page source to see) will have the double dashes (‐‐) converted to —. But comments on a line are spared that by the lines entry:
'/^$/' => '',
Since lines skip further processing when matched that line has it's double dashes preserved.
The code does not try to "close things". That is, if a start tag (either line or block) does not have an end tag the output is undefined. (Single character codes though, ' ^ * |, are preserved.)
One currently known bug is in the default Characters conversion code (see gmlp_chars()), this text does not compute:
Sample line--*emphasis clause*--more words.
That results in: Sample line--emphasis clause--more words. This is because the entity substitution for –– is —:
Sample line—*emphasis clause*—more words.
The "bug" is the character RE lead is [^a-zA-Z=;\/], so ;* is not considered a word boundary.
Or, just use spaces around the --.
For handling block HTML elements in the text, I opted to not maintain an array of current block HTML elements, as the point of the code is that it should not know anything about such things. In fact, the code can be considered to be truly dumb as it does nothing by itself to the text beyond the newline conversions mentioned. The data definitions "do" all the work. And the result are simple, small loops of dumb code that only appears to be "smart," it is the data that controls the code. Change the data even slightly and the result will be completely different.
The result is a combination of a few elements handled by block conversion and "Please don't do that." This code is not just about having markup codes in a text file, but also to reduce the amount of markup needed to convert text to HTML.
The possibilities are many, and are easy to implement, and that is one reason to code this way. (The code is only 500 lines.)
"A man's got to know his possibilities."
"A man's got to know his possibilities."

Sindbad's deli
Every time we step into this Eat Street storefront we're thrust into a crisis of sorts: Do we forgo the spinach pie ($2.59)--a comforting creation of spinach, sumac, onion, lemon, and olive oil--for the baba ghannouj, a smooth dip of smoky roasted eggplant and tahini? Do we go for the daily special--frequently a family-meal-size leg or shank of lamb cooked slowly in exotic spices--or the mujaddarah ($4.99), an anything-but-simple dish of rice and lentils garnished with caramelized onions? Typically, we dawdle at one of Sindbad's dozen tables, admiring the intricate fresco that graces the ceiling, until it's quite obvious that once again we're going to settle on the combination platter ($8.99 with meat, $6.99 veggie), a compromise that delivers portions of three of the dishes we can't resist, plus a Sindbad salad of diced tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley dressed with lemon, garlic, and olive oil. By now we're only too aware that our indecision means we won't have room for any baklava. And that's okay, because we can get any of the sweet treats crowded into Sindbad's groaning deli case to go.

A Celebration of Local Heroes: Our 36th annual guide to the people, places, and things that make the Bay great
07.27.10 - 5:57 pm |
Vernon Davis is one of our 2010 Local HeroesPHOTO BY PETER BOHLER
Michael Keeney and Jasmine Law met at the Brooks Institute of Photography. It didn't take long for them to realize that their approaches complemented one another. Together they are Keeney + Law, a team that successfully balances being both professional and life partners. In photography, their shared vision is based around the idea of a vignette, where every photo is a short story with an emphasis on good light. Always striving to connect with their subjects, Keeney + Law's collaborative process was a perfect fit for this year's Local Heroes portrait project.
The Guardian's Local Heroes portraits were shot at Blue Sky Studios in San Francisco (with the exception of Vernon Davis, who was shot on location by Peter Bohler). We used Blue Sky's state-of-the-art Light Grid, which is the first fully robotic lighting mechanism of its kind.

"Very team oriented, very service oriented towards helping people and in both of those careers that's what you do," Matz said.
In addition to over 30-years in law enforcement, Sheriff Matz served over 20-years in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. A combination that he admits was challenging to his family life.
"But certainly I did miss a lot of birthdays and Christmases. As long as the time you spend with your family is quality time, and I think the boys and I made the most of that. And we still continue to do so," Matz said.
For Sheriff Matz, quality time has meant sharing a passion for service with his son. Like his father, Johnathon Matz served in the National Guard and is currently a Dane County Sheriff's Deputy. When Johnathon was called to active duty in Iraq, Sheriff Matz stepped in to help.
"I was able to get back in and as a Master Sergeant with the sister unit, his sister unit of the same battalion," Matz said.
Father and son supervised a military prison and spoke everyday. With the exception of a few, tense moments.
"There were a couple of occasions where we were hit with indirect fire and I didn't know his status because it was in the area where he was working," Matz recalled. "And that was difficult as a father and as a solider, as a supervisor."
But father and son returned home to their families. Matz flew this Sheriff's Department flag in Iraq. It serves as a symbol of the experience that continues to shape their law enforcement careers and their lives.
"I am very, very thankful that I had the opportunity to serve with him in Iraq for a very noble cause and I think that we did make a difference, both of us," Matz said.
Local Five's Terry Kovarik has more.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Madrid
by organic_lemon
Review: Well when I found out we were going to madrid, I thought, yay there is bound to be plenty of veg options at the resturants and yay there is a loving hut. Well little did i know that many veg options in madrid are either fish or huge amounts of unavoidable eggs (like tortilla), so after the third day i said to my husband, Im dragging you to the loving hut. We got there and they were closed (it was a sunday) but as we peered in we saw somebody and he was so nice to go to the back door an answered our questions. He even said if we go there earlier he would have made us something. He was VERY nice. Luckily we didnt have to catch our plane til later the next day so we went back. the waitress was very nice and everybody spoke a little english. Everything I thought was pretty good. I was a little disappointed that the menu wasnt as extensive as the loving hut that was have in san diego but everything was alright and good priced. Between my husband and I was had a tofu salad, large bottle of water, tea, soup, fried spring rolls, crepes, and a cheese cake. I think we paid less than thirty euro for it.

My Damn Channel LIVE
, Posted on 4/18/2012 by
Time Out New York this week revealed its picks for the 50 Funniest New Yorkers. Turns out, our My Damn Channel LIVE guest Michael Showalter is on the list!
But wait... so is Jon Glaser, who was our guest in our very first show...
and the guest for our second show, David Wain, is on the list, too...
and so is Reggie Watts, last week's guest!
So, basically, My Damn Channel LIVE has consistently featured some of the funniest people in New York. In the United States. Of America. In North America. In the Western Hemisphere. On the planet Earth.
If that isn't reason enough for you to keep watching (Today at 4pm ET!), I guess we'll just have to find a way to make a shorter slogan and put it on a t-shirt to convince you.

It's that day of the week you guys. The day that I pick out the Dumb Holiday of the Week and today's holiday sure is dumb! It's Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day… Really? Really?
Did you know that each year enough Bubble Wrap is produced to stretch from the Earth to the Moon? Of course not because WHO CARES?!?
I realize that Bubble Wrap is a kind of cool, kind of important invention but there isn't anything else we could be celebrating instead? How about National Kazoo Day? At least kazoos make beautiful music.
Is there a any holiday celebrating anything more stupid than bubble wrap or kazoos? Tweet at me and let me know @MrChrisDonahue

In case you missed this gem - and need a laugh on this Monday morning - here's a video you may have missed this weekend. We imagine that in the deep recesses of language that dogs and babies use to communicate, their interaction goes something like this:
[Cue the dramatic music]
Baby: My trustworthy minion - I have a mission for you. I need you to see who is in our place of slumber. Please get off of the couch and help me. My tiny legs and arms will have no affect on the intruder. Your screams are deeper and more terrifying than mine. You must help me do this or all might be lost. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Aid me and I will pet you awkwardly with my tiny hand and be forever grateful. Please help. PLEASE? No? FINE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS.
Dog: Dude. Have a bottle.
You can watch here.

1. Katt Williams slapped a Target employee and then tried to get away in a motorized shopping cart. And there's VIDEO! There's no audio, so we're not exactly sure what prompted the slap, but we're pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that he was in Sacramento, and if there's anything I learned from growing up in Northern California, it's that the entire city of Sacramento could probably use a good slapping.
2. For the second week in a row, Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 won the weekend box office! James Bond Skyfall and Spielberg's Lincoln also held steady in second and third place, respectively. If there's anything this weekend's box office totals can teach us, it's that no one wants to see a Brad Pitt movie just because Brad Pitt is in it.
3. This weekend's MLS championship game marked the last game for David Beckham as a member of the Los Angeles Galaxy. And the Galaxy won! They are the MLS champions for 2012! This news is extremely relevant and exciting to about 20K people, most of whom live in or around Pasadena.
4. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles made a public appearance together in New York! In Central Park! They were... WALKING. They were walking, not holding hands, not making out, not making huge declarations of love to each other via megaphones or loudspeakers or even old-school boomboxes like John Cusack in Say Anything, they were JUST. WALKING. Oh! And they held someone else's baby! This, of course, means they're totally DOING IT.
5. Drake hung out in Guy Fieri's kitchen over the weekend, and someone tweeted a picture in an obvious attempt to make the space-time continuum collapse, as if Donkey Sauce isn't bad enough.

How was your long weekend? Mine was incredible, thanks for asking! You want to know why it was incredible? You're really interested in me and the things I have to say, huh? That is so nice.
Anyway, my favorite part of the weekend was Saturday night because I was hanging out at The Creek and The Cave for their 2nd Annual Creekie Awards. Everyone who's anyone was there. The Murderfist Gang, Mindy Tucker, Marianne Ways! All my favorite people!
The Roast of Henry Zebrowski won an award for Best Special Show or something, I can't remember the exact name of the award but they won!
I think my favorite part of the evening though was the Keynote Speech by Mike Lawrence. Entitled, "The Five Most Important Things I've Learned Doing Comedy In New York That I'd Pass On To Newer Comics," this speech was not only inspiring but also funny! Luckily for you, it can now be read on Huffington Post Comedy!
If you have any desire to do standup or already are doing standup I think this is a great read for YOU. I know it has inspired me even more! If you get so inspired that you want to hit up an open mic tonight come on by Bar 2A in Manhattan and hit up myself and my co-worker/comedy lover Joon's open mic Panic Attack!
See you tonight. I love you all,

It's Labor Day so celebrate America or whatever Labor Day is about.
1. Dominic Dierkes (pictured, left) from Derrick Comedy did stand up on Conan and killed it.
2. Speaking of Conan, he's starting a new web series in September called Serious Jibber-Jabber. I hope he seriously Jibber Jabbers some more with Marc Maron.
3. This is kind of...okay, definitely (2 years) old but I cannot get enough of this Superchunk cover of The Cure.
4. Have you been watching Stand Down over at AV Club? The Sklar Brothers were the subject this week.
5. I don't know if you guys can tell but I'm obsessed with comedy. Is it apparent? If yo're obsessed with comedy, too, you should watch Modern Comedian. It's super interesting and very good friend of My Damn Channel LIVE, Marianne Ways, is thanked in the first few episodes.
Watch that now and if you want to talk Breaking Bad later tonight, just tweet @MrChrisDonahue

Just a few weeks ago, newspapers and pundits nationwide were writing obituaries for "Reagan conservatism." They told us "the conservative movement needs new ideas," "the era of Reagan is over," "the policies of the past don't work today," blah, blah, blah.
Well, some of us knew better. We knew that Americans still crave individual freedom and believe in traditional values and the potential of every innocent human life. We knew that smaller government and lower taxes grow small businesses and inspire Americans to test new ventures and invest in the future, rather than be forced to sacrifice their dreams to pay still more of their hard-earned money to an increasingly socialist government bureaucracy.
But the elitist "wisdom" changed in a flash with a single speech from an unlikely heroine selected from the hinterlands and thrust into the national spotlight to the cheers of millions of Americans. The unbridled enthusiasm for Sarah Palin now sweeping the nation proves that the purveyors of doom and gloom were, once again, wrong.
With the selection of Gov. Palin as his running mate, John McCain showed that he has realized something very important about America: The American people are starved for leaders who represent strong, traditional conservative values.
America wants conservative leadership a la Reagan. Reagan was a straight-talker who didn't mince words about his bold initiatives to give the government back to the people. Reagan stood for limited government, free markets, strict adherence to the Constitution, personal responsibility and individual freedom. He celebrated the hard work and ingenuity of the American people, worked to preserve the culture of life, and took great delight in shaking up the Washington-establishment status quo.
The actor-turned-governor-turned-president was as revolutionary a choice in his time as the hockey-mom-turned-governor who hopes to turn VP. Their ideas and core principles are the same. Reagan/Palin conservatism is alive and flourishing, and the American people are celebrating like crazy.
The spirits of many across America -- from the small-town leader to the soccer mom -- were like dying embers as the end of a seemingly endless primary season appeared likely to result in the coronation of career politicians and Washington insiders. These same Americans now realize that Sen. McCain was listening to them, and that he understands the future of the nation will be most secure in the hands of limited government conservatives. His choice to elevate Gov. Palin and the entire slate of Reagan values was akin to dousing those embers with jet fuel, resulting in the launch of his party like a rocket and setting the grassroots ablaze with enthusiastic fire.
