Comments on CSS Swag: Multi-Column Lists
59 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
Some of these methods will get very messy if the text of some of the list items is long enough to wrap lines. Just something to lookout for before committing to a method.
I posted about this problem a while ago on my website. It may be relevant to study the comments I got when I asked how to do a split list suitable for Netscape 4:
Rather than eliminating all whitespace inside a list element I prefer to just set the
 tag to display: inline;
This may not be suitable in all instances (if you just want a plain list say). However as this list is to be styled further with floats and possibly other display settings (on the links in each li for example) I think it is a more elegant solution.
Could we not maintain semantic integrity, simple CSS, AND get our nice, beautiful, multi-column layout by using Javascript to convert lists into a multi-column variant?
In this way, everything degrades to a simple list; but for virtually all users, you get your multi-column list with none of the caveats mentioned.
It seems a little funny to use a class to uniquely identify an item.
Classes tag an item as being part of a group. If the aim is to uniquely identify something on a page, then assigning an ID to the item is probably a better route to go.
David, one issue with declaring list items as inline is that inline elements can't be assigned dimension in the same way a block element can, limiting their usefulness in creating navigation menus & the like.
Boy, is that ever hairy markup… and absolutely positioning everything?
I'd rather use multiple lists than have to break DRY like this. I mean, what a disaster when you have to add a nav item in your markup and _then_ track down and fiddle with all these numbers in your stylesheet.
After all, as stated in the article, it's like three lines of PHP and an associative array to have complete control. Alternatively, if the markup is sacred, have a tiny server-generated stylesheet that auto-calculates the menu item positions.
Drew, the reason I identified list items using class instead of id was to facilitate more than one list on the same page; ids work just fine if that isn't a concern.
Method 4 would be the useful when you are generating content using sever side scripting (i.e. PHP), you could have a simple little function that takes a list (i.e. from an array) and splits it into N numbers of columns by assigning class="columnN" and class="columnN reset" through a for loop. This removes the need to 'tweak' the source each time there's an item added or removed from the list.
Only useful for generated content, and probably only in certain situations at that, but once implemented it looks after itself, as long as you can live with presentation vs semantics use of CSS class names.
Interesting article Paul, thanks for the different ideas.
Like most other readers of articles on this site, I'm always interested in experimentation and exploration of issues related to the implementation of proper standards and markup. And I absolutely enjoyed the exploration of so many different options presented here.
However, with each new example this article seemed to get farther and farther away from our true "holy grail" of generating pages that utilize the simplest, most compatible markup.
If all the content were contained within the markup (i.e. not supplied via a CMS), my question is why not use CSS to simply style these lists manually, and avoid using OL & LI tags entirely?
Certainly the auto-numbering of OL tags is a strong tool and like other aware developers I too long to have numbered columns that can "swagger." However, if I'm going to build custom code on a list-by-list basis, it seems to make a lot more sense—and is ultimately much more compatible—to do so within the XHTML markup than CSS.
Actually, Konqueror does just fine with the example in Method #3. I would assume Safari does as well. And Firefox handles generated content as well—it's the counters and counter increments that it doesn't seem to support. Firefox 1.5 is "supposed to":http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/What's_New_in_Deer_Park_Alpha handle counters, but when I load the example they all show up as "1. whatever." It looks like it's using the counter, but not incrementing it.
Come to think of it, IE is pretty much the only major browser that doesn't support the :before pseudo-element. Unfortunately, last I looked it wasn't on the "list of additions for IE7":http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx
I found a description of what's different about Firefox 1.5's implementation of counter-increment. (The release notes just say it matches an upcoming draft of CSS 2.1 rather than the current one, without saying what's changed.) Apparently you need to put counter-increment "in the tag's style":http://www.davidflanagan.com/blog/2005_08.html#000075 instead of in the :before pseudoelement's style. This still works fine in Opera.
There is one further step to getting it to work as expected in Firefox, since "scope is an issue":https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3247#c113 in the new way of handling counters. Ending the LI's parent—the OL—ends the counter's scope unless you define it somewhere further up the tree, and you get each column starting over at 1. If you apply "counter-reset: item" to div.outerwrap, it sets the scope so that the counter doesn't reset on each OL, and you get continuous numbering in both Opera and Firefox 1.5.
I can confirm "Kelson Vibber's assumption":http://www.alistapart.com:80/comments/multicolumnlists?page=2#12 that Safari handles at least some generated content (such as plain text). It cannot handle the counters and I'm sure there are a few other things in the ways of generated content it doesn't handle. So it's finicky at best.
Nice in-depth analysis. However, there are some errors in one of your examples. Under "Wrapping a single list with CSS" you have a bunch of orphaned closing anchor tags:
>
Aloe

Bergamot

Calendula

Oregano

Pennyroyal</li
Otherwise, great article!
I recently had to do something similar. I wanted to keep the HTML simple so that the list was easily editable. I relied on a combination of JavaScript and CSS. Sometimes heavy DOM augmentation is necessary to get what you want, but I don't think it's necessary for this particular trick.
My method is similar to #4 in your article, but did a lot of the heavy lifting in JS. One of the benefits is that the JS will determine the height of the list and dynamically create two columns (currently it's limited to two columns).
I will note that one problem I encountered that I have not yet had time to fix is the list element marker (number or bullet). IE has a particularly nasty problem where the marker for multi-line list elements shows up next to the last line instead of the first (something to do with "hasLayout" I suppose). Becuase of this the CSS removes the markers, which luckily I did not need.
The code still requires quite a bit of clean-up, I still have some improvements to make, there are some problems that I have yet to figure out, and the documentation is pretty much non-existent. Anyone interested can find a demo page at <http://www.eclecticgeek.com/mcl.asp>.
Any easy way to force IE to render without list-items without whitespace is to just define a line-height. I use:
li {
line-height: 150%;
This styles the spacing to match my paragraphs, and seems to get IE to play nice with the other browsers. It sure beats having to do line-breaks in your HTML. ;)
Tweak this so that instead of having a unique class (.name) for each value, just have a class that indicates what column it should sort into…
and so on, and then just toggle through those when adding to your list. You could automate this even further by running this through a server for the numbering party (and even for defining which class each
 would be, as the author suggests.
Let me know if this is tomfoolery.
In the 2nd method, what is the purpose of using 'display : block' for the a element?
As Avril Lavigne puts it, "Life is complicated". So is this. Wouldn't it be easier just to produce the list with the server-side script?
Jason, the fundamental justification to use OL & UL structures for lists rather than Ps or DIVs is to give our documents semantic meaning. When the content we present is meaningfully structured and not merely visually presented, our pages can more readily be interpreted by screen-readers, search engines, archiving engines, and other systems.
Yasir, the purpose of making the normally inline A element a block is to enable us to assign it dimension. When an anchor is a block, its clickable area is the full area of the block, whereas with inline anchors you can click only the hyperlinked text (or image) itself.
You can see this effect in all of my live examples but especially "example 7":http://alistapart.com/d/multicolumnlists/example7.html when you mouse over any portion of the rectangle that contains a list item.
I like to do this to increase usability (the user doesn't have to aim as precisely to activate a link) and attractiveness (in menus I often like to change the entire menu item block background on hover, not merely the link text itself).
As "Kelson Vibber":http://www.alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=2#13 noted above, Firefox 1.5 beta can be made to work with Example 3. One just have to use the correct syntax. Another browser that supports this perfectly is little brother iCab 3.0. Safari (1.3 and 2.0) isn't there yet.
One problem to note with those various techniques (i.e. example 3): the second and third column are not perfectly aligned horizontally. Each column starts a few pixels higher or lower than the previous one. That is a consequence of the way browser round of values to the nearest pixel. On the Linux box, Firefox is correct, but Opera 8.5 was off by a few pixels. On my OS X box, the only browser to get it correctly is Firefox 1.5b.
Thanks everyone who suggests that server- or client-side scripting is the solution to the multiple-column list problem. Of course, any of the HTML & CSS solutions I've suggested in this article can be the underlying method used by a script. No reason to do it by hand if you can program a robot to do it for you.
Great article.
Thanks also for the insight into where the 'jolly swagman' term comes from.
Paul, there's no argument from me when it comes to the importance of using OL/UL for the purposes of defining structure and the nature of the content. And don't get me wrong—I love this article and I'm not trying to criticize you or its content in any way. I'm just looking to further the discussion on this subject, because I think you've brought up a significant conern.
Hopefully I can make myself a bit more clear in my thoughts. :)
Wrapping OLs across multiple columns is only a "holy grail" of the *visual* presentation aspects of XHTML/CSS. Yet this barely registers on the radar if we're talking about presenting content to a screen reader.
More importantly, as visually pleasing as multiple-column OL may be, the truth is that when presented on-screen, it tests miserably with reagards to usability (according to Edward Tufte and NN/G). This is not to say we should abandon our little Grail quest in this regard. On the contrary, I think this brings into question how important it is that certain content be presented in numerical order.
While this article is presented from a technical/development standpoint, but isn't the underlying message of ALA that development and design need to go hand in hand?
We all love CSS and we all dream of heightened standards for both development and display. But our hopes for the future shouldn't derail us from our primary responsibility as developers, and that is delivering universally readable content that maintains visual presentation.
Another potential methodology is to not create the content in xhtml and stick to xml and use a xslt to style things. This allows a programatically neutral backend that can be reproduced on many levels. It also lends it self to transformation to other formatting that can be machine readable (RDF or otherwise). The negative of course is it does require scripting of some sort.
A larger is issue to consider is that it brings forth whether or not semantic markup really matters. It is no where as close to being as usable or parseable as something like RDF or some other user created xml format. I am not saying of course that we should use xml documents to return to tons of tables and the like, but rather that our consideration for what is really "semantic" or proper should be considered in context. If an application drives this example, then it seems to be a moot point IMHO. Of course, if someone had to edit the pages (be it javascript, xhtml, css or otherwise) the strategies become much more important.
Thanks for the interesting article.
Thanks, Philippe, for reports of vertical alignment problems in Linus & OS X browsers. In my early experiments with these techniques, I found that I had to set the line-height of list items to at least 1.2em in order for methods 5 & 6 to bring the first item of the next column up to the correct position. I'm surprised that you report a similar problem with method 3, which is just three separate lists floated side-by-side. I'll look into it.
Jason, it sounds as though you and I agree on this point: that wrapping lists into multiple columns is a matter of visual presentation and shouldn't affect the semantic content of the markup. That's why I prefer methods that employ a single list manipulated by CSS over those that fragment a list into fragments positioned side by side (regardless of whether that fragmentation is performed manually or with script).
I don't see why a single list, wrapped visually into columns using CSS, would present problems for screen readers; can you elucidate? Also I'd like to read the Edward Tufte article you cite; can you send me a link or bibliographic reference?
Anissa, your suggestion for assigning class names to list items in markup in order to place items into columns sounds like what I described in "Method 4":http://alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists/#method4—let me know if you had a different idea in mind.
I don't think it's tomfoolery—it's certainly workable and probably accessible to screen readers. In my opinion it's not an ideal solution since it codes the column placement in the content (HTML) rather than in the presentation (CSS), and I consider column-wrapping presentational.
Very interesting article. Until the CSS 3 columns module gains wide support, I still prefer to use Method 1; I think I first saw it used on Eric Meyer's site a year or two ago. I like the simplicity of the XHTML and CSS with no extra scripting. Actually I was surprised how quick and easy it is to recognize that the sequence is running horizontally and make the visual adjustment (using numeric markers might be a different story, though). I haven't seen any of the usability data sited earlier that suggests problems with this approach (anyone willing to site a URL?). And I haven't used this method with item markers, so that hasn't been a problem for me either.
Isn't that just the funniest thing! I was so excited because I had actually thought of something to post on ALA. I was too tired to realize it was your idea! My head is hung in shame.
Oh well, I shall console myself with the idea that at least I'm *thinking* like an ALAer. Sigh.
Paul (re: "28":http://www.alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=3#28 ). Actually, I was wrong in pointing to example 3; that one works correctly, as far as vertical alignment is concerned. The problem applies to those examples where you use negative top margins. When you first published your experiments on CSS-D, I did some testing on this. Never could them right across browser land, except when using either pixels for values, or using a line-height like '1' or '2'. It is all due to way browsers attempt to slice pixels or rather the way they convert to screenpixels to render on screen when the line box does not have a round number of pixels for computed height.
Great article but I'm only brave enough to use example 1 until css 3 is more widely supported. Nice work!
Philippe (re "33":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=4#33 ), can you tell me if you preserved my markup in its entirety—including the Strict DOCTYPE—when you tested examples in Mac browsers? In my early experiments I found more default LI height variance between browsers with transitional or quirksmode rendering, confounding the vertical return calculation, which is one reason I ended up using Strict for this article.
in example 6 you use different "unique" li classes to set up the margin's. Is there really a need for unique handlers? I don't get it. I guess in this case are 3 class-names enough.
However, nice idea:)
This may be incredibly pedantic but I thought an 'ex' was the measure of font height whereas an em is the measure of font width.
But I found the article and subsequent comments very intersting and learnt something, so thanks.
Thanks for a nice article, even though I don't think I will be using the techniques. I prefer the (unobtrusive) javascript approach, with the ol or ul having a class "multiplelist" or whatever. The possible problem with multiple-line / different height-li's seems to be catered for with a little help from the linked source in Brian Sweeney's comment (#16).
I can see a real potential use of multiple column lists in e.g. feature lists on product information pages.
Eike (re: "36":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=4#36 ), the purpose of assigning each list item a unique identifier within its list is to enable us to control column-wrapping entirely from the stylesheet.
Both methods 5 & 6 use "this technique":http://alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists/#method56
If we use only one class name per column as in my "method 4":http://alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists/#method4 then column-wrapping is controlled in large part from HTML. In the interests of separating content from presentation, I prefer to control the wrap from CSS.
Graham (re: "37":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=4#37 ), you're right that ex began life as a vertical measure (the x-height) and em as horizontal (the width of the lowercase m). I tend to use them for both horizontal and vertical measurements, relying on the empirical formula 1em = 2ex which hasn't failed me so far.
Pär (re: "38":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=4#38 ), thanks for your comments. Even if you use javascript, your script needs to use some technique or other to wrap the list into columns. If you use a technique other than one of the ones I describe here, please describe it for us to add to the heap.
I don't see javascript as an alternative to CSS, I see it as an alternative to hand-coding. Whether or not you build a robot to do the dirty work, the work still has to be done by a specific technique. Which do you choose?
*Re: #41*
Paul! I'm sorry, I was probably too quick with my comment. It's true, I would still have to choose the way to do the actual column wrapping.
My apologies if the rest of this post is not understandable due to my language. English isn't my mother tongue. Please correct me or ask if anything seems unclear.
The technique I choose would have to fulfill at least the following: it has to be degradable ("unobtrusive"), not use deprecated elements or attributes, and *not force me to manually change the js, css or (x)html* when adding or removing items to/from the list (except the manual change of adding or removing the items, of course). This removes method #2 from the list. I would use method #1 if I only used unordered lists (giving the ul a class of "multipleUnorderdList" and styling accordingly). If :before and content properties where widely supported, I would probably prefer method #3 (with the "sublists" created by js), and accept the extra list elements even though they might be unsemantic. My critique against method #5 and #6 is mainly because I would have to change the css (add classnames) on every change on the list (also, the use of classes on every element looks ugly! :).
So I was thinking about method #4, and accept the "presentation intrusion on the content". The columnN and reset classes would be set by js, making it easy to add or remove items. The ol would get a class "multipleOrderedList" or something similar for the js to "see" and work upon. I would still have to update the css when adding/removing items though, so I have to throw this solution away, too. This leaves me with nothing. If being forced by a customer to make a multicolumn ol, I would use something like method #6 and be angry about the solution not being dynamic. I would consider the problem unsolvable on my criterias until I saw ":before" and the "content-property" being widely supported, or read another ALA-article telling me how to do it. :)
Still, this was a nice article. It got me thinking. Thanks. And if someone could point me to a solution that fulfills my criterias, thanks again!
Uhu. The pseudoclass ":before" should be after the word saw in the long link in my previous post (#42). It was parsed as a textile command for "link". I can't see how I could miss that in the preview (which btw is a great thing!). I'm sorry.
Pär (re: "42":http://www.alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=5#42 ), thanks for your thoughtful response (in excellent English!).
JavaScript can automate all of these methods, even 5 & 6 if you let go of the separate stylesheet and accept some form of inline styling.
Does it really matter if imposing classes on all the list items "looks ugly" when you the human will never see it? Or doth the mere idea of doing so offend thine eye?
Warm regards,
Paul, thanks for your explanation. But I still don't think any of the methods will work for me (please correct me if I'm wrong!). I can see what you mean with inline styles "on-the-fly" being acceptable for the sake of function, but I definitely wouldn't like to mix css into either the html/content file or the js-file. That would make it too hard for a designer to change the styles. Restyling the site should, in my opinion, only be a matter of replacing one or a few css files for some other. I think the only way the script should be able to modify styles is by assigning class names and ids to the elements. Then it's up to the designer to style for it.
But you already know that. It's me not understanding that we were looking at two different things. You wrote an article about different (experimental) ways to handle a problem. I was looking for the perfect solution, to use in a "write once, use anywhere"-script that could automate the process for me while being modular. Your article was great, I just have to accept that it didn't provide the solution for me. It still was some interesting reading, and your answer to my comment and questions did clear a few things up. Thanks again!
About individual classes on the list items: Yea, it's true I would never have to see it if I assigned them from a script. It would offend me knowing they were there ;) but I could probably accept the usage. Still, the problem of having to update the css file manually matters more to me. As I surely have said to many times now. :)
Looking forward to see your next article, hopefully on ALA.
Regards, Pär.
I read this article with pleasure & pain. I don't get it why I should declare every item an own stylesheet just to get it in columns when I can do it simple with boxes?!
Whatever, I guess the only possibility is to enact the Firefox 1.5 to every user until we got CSS3 as a standard ;)
It would solve all problems with dynamic cols.
(to be honest, every browser should integrate the column-css that we can create appropriately layouts!!)
It would seem to me that this is a clear case where Tables should be used, at least for now.
Yes, I've burnt the midnight oil creating entirely table free layouts using CSS2, but sometimes I can't help wondering if I'm being too much of a purist, or rather, a prophet.
In a world where we constantly innovate, we can often forget the simplicity of older innovations. This can result in brilliant ideas, but more often than not, turns into an overly complex "because I can" hack.
The simplicity of multi-column layouts in standard HTML is so profoundly accessible, I see no point in trying to complicate the issue. It is, in essense, tabular data.
The basic table tags are accessible by the vast majority of browsers and browsing devices and can be augmented with CSS2.
Perhaps I'm missing the point entirely ?
Although I will attempt these various CSS2 hacks, the humble HTML table remains to me, a vision of simplicity and elegance.
The weekend the article was released I wrote a "script to automate the process":http://arapehlivanian.com/2005/10/25/automated-multi-column-lists/. I then submitted it to ALA and waited for ... well till now. So that's why this comes so late. But for anyone who's interested, it's done.
Gadget (re: "46":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=5#46 ), I feel your pain. Until everyone has CSS3-savvy browsers, however, we need solutions that come close or achieve our goals with today's less-than-perfect tools.
Mat (re: "47":http://alistapart.com/comments/multicolumnlists?page=5#47 ), tables might seem to be a solution at first, but let's think it through. For a three-column table, are you proposing a table with 3 columns and N rows? Table cells are read across and then down, so if your table consisted of these nine cells:
a | d | g
b | e | h
c | f | i
...then your data sequence in the markup would be a,d,g,b,e,h,c,f,i. Put that in your screen-reader and smoke it! I think that's sacrificing the integrity of the data in order to use table markup to get things to align properly.
Another way to use a table for list-wrapping is to create one cell per column, so cell 1 would contain the first part of the list:
cell 2 would contain the next part:
and so on. This splits the list into several sub-lists, which falls short of the ideal single semantic list, and uses the table purely for layout and not for its semantic structure.
For me, another philosophical & practical disadvantage of using tables is that the markup controls the column-wrapping, which I consider presentational.
Please let me know if I'm overlooking a table-based solution that preserves the sequence of the original list and uses the table as a semantically-meaningful structure and not merely a visual layout tool.
If we're talking which is more Semantically Pure™, I'm really not convinced that an attribute-encrusted nightmare of IDs beats a two-celled table. Never mind, fer-God's-sakes, unique _classes_. Yeah, they're attributes and not structure. They also blow out the character count sonmething fierce.
That said, I probably wouldn't be keen on splitting an _ordered_ list into columns of any sort anyway, what with it being a colossal pain in the bum to read. If I do, however? Ara's JavaScript example looks pretty good right now.
I used multi-column method for my list but i have a problem:
my list have many rows and when i print it, it is printed only in one page and is not divided in multi-pages and i lost the last rows.
using the column part: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-multicol-20010118/
ul li {
column-count: 3;
Column-gap: 1em;
I've been messing with the CSS and HTML for awhile, but I can't figure out how to get text to show up like:
Text 1 Text 2
Text 3
Text 4
and then repeat. Any help would be nice. ([email protected])
On my previous one, the spacing didn't go through…
Text 1 aligned left, then Text 2, 3, and 4 aligned right, with Text 1 and 2 on the same line.
I used to design with HTML tables but then I found out the drawbacks of table and use of Divs instead. However my Float Left divs wrap underneath one another when they dont fit in the borwser's size, for eg
[first div] [second div] [third div]
if you customize the size of browse to less 800 i get something like:
[first div] /* second wraps */
[second div] /* third wraps */
[third div]
Any idea as to How I need to solve this issue? Thanks.
Nice post, one that I've only just stumbled upon….so I've read it, and im pretty sure that my navigation isn't going to change, so I've opted for Method 4.
And it works…that is until I changed it to use a bulleted list and instead of using a bullet image, I used a background image. Adding the code below to the "ul li" class works for all but the top two items in each subsequent list after the first. Removing the "position:relative" ie/hack solves it, but then the ol' link problem reoccurs..
background-image: url(../images/bullet.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 10px;
Any ideas how I can get round this?
I used method 6 for a 2-column list but noticed that in IE the second column inherited the background from the parent element. It has something to do with the negative margins as using a positive or zero margin resulted in no background for the second column. The easiest way around this bug is to set the background to "none" for all li elements.
You can create multicolumn lists with my "List Splitter":http://www.polisource.com/PublicMisc/List-Splitter.html application. Cool animation too.

So country singer Brad Paisley and Sam Hanna from NCIS LA have joined up to put out a song decrying the state of race relations these days, putting most of it down to a misbegotten clinging to the past and misunderstanding of white and black today.
First, anybody besides me have the urge to laugh uncontrollably every time you hear the name "Brad Paisley"?
OK never mind. It's not his fault. At least I hope not. And Sam Hanna is really rapper LL Cool J, who frankly oughta know better.
On the other hand, it's quite a gutsy move for "a white man coming to you from the southland" to even speak about race like this. And on the other other hand, the song falls so far short of what I'm sure Brad and Cool hoped that it probably just gives the racists another white sheet to hide behind, because it doesn't seem much more than another attempt to ease white guilt by saying "everybody does it."
Brad's been taking a lot of heat for it, of course, so I shudder to think what kind of heat he might be taking had the song actually been better. The song's called "Accidental Racist," and frankly, that's just a stupid title for a song about a guy who wore a Confederate flag into a Starbucks and expected the barista not to think he was a fucking bigoted asshole.
To the man that waited on me
At the Starbucks down on Main
I hope you understand
When I put on that t-shirt
The only thing I meant to say
Is I'm a Skynyrd fan
Really, Brad? Y'know, Lynyrd Skynyrd once stopped using that damn flag to promote themselves because they were tired of being equated with racists. But the racists got pissed and wouldn't come to their shows anymore, so they started using it again.
I think the only thing Brad meant to say is that it's black folks' fault if seeing the stars and bars upsets them.
And LL Cool J. He has a rap part in this song. He raps that he won't judge Brad's "red flag" if Brad won't judge his "do rag." Seriously? Is there any kind of correlation between a do rag and the battle flag of the Confederate States of America, which seceded from the United States of America so they could continue to enslave a particular group of people? I didn't think so.
But that's not the worst part of LL Cool J's rap. The worst part is his saying that if Brad will forget about his "gold chains," he'll forget about the "iron chains." Really? Really? How on earth can those two things be equivocal, except that they both involve something worn by an African American?
See, here's the thing. Brad's part of the song is kinda whining about how he keeps getting blamed for something done in the past by people who are now dead to other people who are now dead, and it has nothing to do with him.
'Cause I'm just a white man
Living in the Southland
Just like you, I'm more than what you see
I'm proud of where I'm from
And not everything we've done
And it ain't like you and me to rewrite history
Our generation didn't start this nation
And we're still paying for the mistakes
Than a bunch of folks made
Long before we came
Caught somewhere between southern pride
And southern blame
LL Cool J's part is about how a lot of white people just look at black people and think they're out to rape and murder them, which is pretty much true. But they both say we should all just sit down, have a beer and get over it.
Dear Mr. White Man, I wish you understood
What the world is really like when you're living in the hood
Just because my pants are saggin' doesn't mean I'm up to no good
You should try to get to know me, I really wish you would
Now my chains are gold, but I'm still misunderstood
I wasn't there when Sherman's March turned the south into firewood
I want you to get paid, but be a slave I never could
Feel like a new-fangled Django dogging invisible white hoods
So when I see that white cowboy hat, I'm thinking it's not all good
I guess we're both guilty of judging the cover, not the book
I'd love to buy you a beer, conversate and clear the air
But I see that red flag and I think you wish I wasn't here
Now, there's some good points there, don't get me wrong. And it's a start. It's just a pretty damn weak start. Do rags don't equal Confederate flags. Gold chains don't equal iron chains. And no, Sherman's march (which was not conducted by African Americans, please remember) does not equal hundreds of years of enforced slavery followed by Jim Crow and institutionalized racism that did not end with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It's not so much the past racism that bugs people as the present racism. The white south does go to great lengths to pretend that "bygones are bygones" and we're all starting off on a clean plate, but the truth is, we ain't. Not by a long shot. So, Brad, while you ain't proud of everything that was done in your name by your ancestors, you are still wearing the very symbol of the crap that was done in your name by your ancestors. Quit trying to pretend it's just the innocent symbol of a southern rock band.
Cool, man, them saggy pants just look stupid. I don't think you're up to no good if you're wearing em. I just think you're an idiot. And it doesn't matter what color is your skin. Do rags? Gold chains? Seriously? Did you have to search down that deep into stereotypes to find something to falsely compare with the pure hatred and disrespect for human beings represented by that flag?
No matter how hard you want to believe it, guys, this is not some post-racial world. It's still pretty damn fucked up. It's still racist and sexist and homophobic and don't even get me started on the Christianists who think they're persecuted.
And yeah, the south gets too much of the blame for racism. Every time something happens here, every time somebody uncovers a rural Georgia town of less than 1,500 people that still has segregated proms at its high school of 70 kids, the Yankee haters go berserk with the "too much bigotry in the south" bullshit. One guy said "You wouldn't find this in New York City!" That's true. But you also don't find it in Atlanta. Or Birmingham. Or Charleston. Or Charlotte. Or Nashville. Or Louisville. Or Richmond, the former capital of the CSA. Maybe not even in Jackson, but I can't say that for sure. And there are other forms of racism to be found in places like New York City.
I could pull up links to all kinds of godawful things that have happened in the north to prove my point. I did, once, years ago, when I got offended by a New York group that call itself "Southerners in Exile." I basically called them cowards for running off to the Big Apple and hiding in that mass of humanity instead of staying down here and fighting. And turning a blind eye to the bigotry of the north.
But I won't do that here. It's off topic, and I've strayed too far from the topic already.
Brad, Cool, nice try. Next time, though, get real.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday it's unlikely the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate will prevent a wave of automatic spending cuts from beginning to strike the economy in two weeks. Yet he sounded hopeful about avoiding a partial shutdown of the government when a temporary spending bill expires next month.
In his Capitol office overlooking the National Mall, Boehner said in an interview that he was skeptical of many of President Barack Obama's plans, laid out the night before in the State of the Union address.
Boehner voiced doubts about Obama's proposal for taxpayer-funded help for preschool education for all 4-year-olds and would not commit to passing a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, though doing so would be "somewhat helpful" to members of his party as they seek to regain support among Latinos. "There's no magic potion that's going to solve our party's woes with Hispanics," he said.
Boehner also refused to swing behind any of Obama's gun-control proposals and said he opposed the president's plan to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour.
The Ohio Republican said he gets along well with Obama but admits their relationship hasn't generated much in the way of results, pointing to two failed rounds of budget talks in 2011 and at the end of last year. Boehner said he is frustrated that spending cuts Obama signaled he would agree to in 2011 have been taken off the table since the election.
"It hasn't been real productive the last two years, and frankly every time I've gotten into one of these high-profile negotiations, it's my rear end that got burnt," Boehner said. "It's just probably not the best way for our government to operate."
Obama stumped Wednesday in support of his minimum-wage plan, his calls for a manufacturing revival and his other State of the Union proposals in a trip to Ashville, N.C., where he said: "If you work full time, you shouldn't be in poverty."
He takes his case to Georgia on Thursday and his hometown of Chicago on Friday, all part of his effort to build support for an agenda facing stiff resistance back in Washington.
"It's not a Democratic thing or a Republican thing," Obama said of his initiatives. "Our job as Americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead."
Spending cuts
The immediate agenda, though, is dominated by $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts — called a sequester in Washington-speak — set to slam the Pentagon and domestic programs over the coming seven months. Boehner said he has no plans to resurrect legislation passed by Republicans last year to block this year's sequester.
The speaker said that until Obama puts forward a plan to avoid the sequester and Senate Democrats pass it, "we're going to be stuck with it. It's going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions."
Boehner noted that although plenty of GOP defense hawks are anxious about the automatic cuts, Democrats concerned with cuts to domestic programs have a lot on the line, too.
And he sounded glum about prospects that the two sides will come together in the spring on a separate, long-term budget blueprint to address the government's fiscal problems.
"It's hard to imagine that you could reconcile (the separate budgets) the House and Senate pass," Boehner said. "But at some point, in some manner, it almost has to happen if we're going to deal with our long-term spending problem."
In March, the House and Senate will take up competing long-term budget blueprints. In a break with past years, House Republicans promise to balance the budget within a decade — without additional tax increases beyond the $600 billion-plus in tax increases on wealthier earners won by Obama as part of a deal to keep the rest of the Bush-era tax cuts.
He said that an impasse with Senate Democrats, who insist their rival budget plan will raise taxes and contain softer budget cuts, is probably inevitable.
Also looming is the need to pass legislation financing the government through the budget year ending Sept. 30. Here, at least, Boehner saw some promise, predicting a resolution will pass soon to head off a partial shutdown.
He was also noncommittal on two of Obama's top second-term initiatives: overhauling the nation's immigration laws and enacting stricter gun control measures.
Immigration and gun control
On immigration, Boehner told the AP he was "encouraged" by bipartisan efforts to reform the nation's fractured laws but wouldn't say whether he would support a bill that includes a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. Nor would he commit to a pathway to citizenship for the so-called "dreamers" — young people brought to the U.S illegally.
"I'm not getting myself locked into a corner on what I'm for or what I'm against," he said.
On gun control, Boehner said he would consider measures passed by the Democratic-led Senate but would not pledge to hold votes on any of Obama's core principles, including universal background checks for all gun purchasers. The expanded background checks are broadly supported by the public.
While not outright opposing background checks or Obama's other calls for limiting assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, the speaker said he preferred focusing on the link between mass shootings and mental health issues.
"When you look at all these mass shootings, almost every one of the individuals involved has a history of mental illness. So why don't we focus in on something real that really can attempt to minimize this problem, as opposed to some quick political fix that gives people a false sense of security," he said.
33.5 million watch State of the Union • NEW YORK — The 33.5 million people who saw President Barack Obama's fifth State of the Union made it the smallest audience for the annual speech since Bill Clinton's last address in 2000.
The Nielsen ratings company said Wednesday it was down from the 37.8 million people who saw Obama's State of the Union last year. The 52.4 million people who watched his first address in 2009 were his largest audience. Sixteen networks aired the speech Tuesday night.
Republicans slam speech • WASHINGTON — Republicans said Wednesday that President Barack Obama's State of the Union address was full of well-worn liberal ideas and campaign-style hostility and did little to ease partisan tensions over major issues.
"An opportunity to bring together the country instead became another retread of lip service and liberalism," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
The House Budget Committee chairman, GOP Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, said Obama's leadership style stands in the way of bipartisan efforts to resolve problems such as the ballooning deficit.
The morning-after comments came as Obama embarked on a three-state trip to sell voters on the programs he outlined. Republican critics have said Obama should stay home and focus his attention on dealing directly with Congress.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The GOP-controlled House has passed legislation to replace a looming 10 percent cut to the military budget with cuts to domestic programs like food stamps and health care.
The partisan 218-199 vote sends the measure to the Senate, where it's a dead letter with Democratic leaders, who insist on keeping the automatic cuts in place until Republicans agree to tax increases.
The legislation would prevent a $55 billion Pentagon cut that defense hawks warn would force troop cuts, military base closings and a significantly smaller Navy and Air Force, as well as an 8 percent cut to domestic agency operating budgets.
The replacement cuts include blocking illegal immigrants from claiming refundable child tax credits and cutting almost 2 million people off of food stamps.

May 6, 2016
A $144 million plan approved by the Charlotte City Council is aimed at keeping the Carolina Panthers for at least another 15 years.
The Charlotte Observer reports (http://bit.ly/1514lW9 ) that the bulk of the package approved in a 3-hour-long closed-door meeting Friday night would go toward upgrades at Bank of America Stadium, the uptown home of the team since 1996. Other money would go toward stadium maintenance and paying for traffic control on game days.
The new deal would help meet demands made by Panthers owner Jerry Richardson. In exchange for money, the team must agree to not leave Charlotte through the 2027 season.
Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx says the Panthers have been valuable for the region and have helped give residents a sense of unity.
Previous Story:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Charlotte's City Council has endorsed a plan to give the Carolina Panthers nearly $144 million from a food and beverage tax hike to pay for upgrades to its stadium. The tentative deal would require approval from the N.C. General Assembly for the city to increase its prepared food and beverage tax by one cent.

From 2003 to 2011, obesity rates for poor children dropped in New York to around 16 percent. But they rose in Los Angeles and ended at about 20 percent.
The researchers focused on children ages 3 and 4 enrolled in a government program that provides food and other services to women and their young children.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Thursday.
The authors noted that the Los Angeles program has many more Mexican-American kids. Obesity is more common in Mexican-American boys than in white or black kids.

Quitting Smoking: Preventing Slips or Relapses
A slip is when a smoker who has quit smokes one or two cigarettes. A relapse is when a smoker who has quit returns to regular smoking. It is hard to quit smoking. The temptation can be very strong. Here you will find strategies to help you avoid slips as well as a relapse. You will also find tips for deciding how soon you will want to try again. This information also applies if you use smokeless tobacco products, such as chew or snuff.
- Most slips and relapses happen during the first week after a person quits smoking.
- Avoiding a slip-up is best. But if you do slip, it's important to respond to it carefully so you don't relapse.
- If you do relapse, think about what you can learn from it and what you should do the next time you quit.
- If you slip or relapse, think about adding a new treatment, such as using medicines or some kind of nicotine replacement. You might also find it helpful to take part in a quit-smoking program or to talk to a counselor trained to help people quit smoking.
- People who relapse after 6 weeks of not smoking usually don't do it because of nicotine withdrawal. Instead, they relapse because they find themselves in situations that make them want a cigarette. Learn to recognize when you might slip or relapse, and plan ahead to cope with those situations.
A slip means smoking one or two cigarettes after you have quit smoking. It usually happens in the first week after you quit. It doesn't mean that you will start smoking again. But it means that you may need to do something different, such as try a new treatment or get support.
A relapse is returning to regular (usually daily) smoking after you have tried to quit. Relapse is common. It means that you need to pay attention to those things that led to your starting to smoke again and to avoid those things the next time you try to quit.
Test Your Knowledge
If you smoke one or two cigarettes after you have quit smoking, it means you've had a relapse.
This answer is incorrect.
Smoking one or two cigarettes after you have quit smoking is called a slip. It usually happens in the first week after you quit. A relapse is a return to regular smoking after you have tried to quit.
This answer is correct.
Smoking one or two cigarettes after you have quit smoking is called a slip. It usually happens in the first week after you quit. A relapse is a return to regular smoking after you have tried to quit.
A slip is a warning sign that something is not quite right with your quit attempt. A slip may lead to a sense that you have no control and, possibly, to more slips. Having several slips in a row or facing conditions where you are seriously tempted to start smoking again increases the chance that you will relapse.
Whether you have a single slip or a full relapse, smoking again can make you feel bad about yourself and can trigger depression. If you slip, try to think of it as an opportunity to correct yourself before it leads to a full relapse.
Test Your Knowledge
A slip means that something is not working with your quit attempt.
This answer is correct.
A slip doesn't mean that you will go back to regular smoking, but it is a warning that you are at risk of relapse. If you slip, try to think of it as an opportunity to correct yourself so you don't have a relapse.
This answer is incorrect.
A slip doesn't mean that you will go back to regular smoking, but it is a warning that you are at risk of relapse. If you slip, try to think of it as an opportunity to correct yourself so you don't have a relapse.
Certain situations may tempt you to smoke. These are called triggers. Learn to recognize when you might slip, and plan ahead to cope with those situations. Think about when you slipped in the past. You may be more tempted to smoke when you:
- Are around others who are smoking.
- Drink alcohol.
- Feel angry or frustrated.
- Are under a lot of stress.
- Have gained weight.
- Are at a party.
- Have easy access to cigarettes.
Are there other situations that make you want to light up a cigarette?
Resisting triggers and avoiding relapse
Here are some things that may help:
- Write down all of your triggers, and have a plan for your two or three main triggers. Either avoid the triggers for a while or find a way to cope with them.
- Stay focused on quitting smoking. Don't try to achieve other goals while you are in the process of quitting. For example, don't try to lose weight while you are trying to quit smoking.
- Reward yourself for milestones or small successes. This may mean celebrating an hour, a day, or a week without smoking.
- Get support often. Keep in close contact with those who support your efforts—family, friends, your doctor, or a support group. You can even pick up the phone and call a support hotline when you feel the urge.
- Think about the times when you usually smoked, and find other things to do instead. That may mean changing your routine, chewing a piece of gum, or doing some other activity that you enjoy. Be creative.
- Don't smoke—not even one drag. If you continue to slip, one puff can lead to another and another.
- Consider a treatment, such as medicine, support hotlines, or a support group, if you are having trouble managing your triggers.
Getting back on track
Avoiding a slip is best. But if you do slip, it's important to respond to it carefully so you don't start smoking regularly again. Here are some ideas that may help you get back on track:
- Try to figure out why you slipped, and make a plan for what to do the next time that happens.
- A slip is a brief return to an old behavior. You are not a smoker just because you slip up a few times.
- Don't think of a slip as a sign of failure. Many people who have quit have a few slips at some point. Don't give up on your quit goal.
- Get support right away from a person or support group you trust.
- Make it hard to smoke. Avoid places where you can easily ask someone for a cigarette. Don't buy a pack.
- If you are tempted to smoke again, make yourself wait 2 hours. Then decide if you really need the cigarette.
- Look at your list of reasons for quitting, and remember why you wanted to quit in the first place. Then take control again.
- Think about past situations when you were strong and resisted temptation.
- Consider using other resources to help you quit, such as taking medicines or talking to a support-hotline counselor on the phone.
If you are taking medicine or using nicotine replacement, keep doing so unless you go back to regular smoking. It can help you get back on track.

Colorado has made its biggest revisions in four decades to how state employees are paid, hired and fired.
Gov. John Hickenlooper announced Tuesday that he certified the voter-approved reforms first suggested by his office almost a year ago.
The changes include revised pay standards to be more like the private sector.
The changes required voter approval because Colorado is one of five states with employee protections in the state constitution.
The personnel changes were favored by members of both parties and didn't spark opposition from the largest union of state employees.
Hickenlooper also certified a voter-approved measure to encourage Colorado's congressional delegation to support a U.S. constitutional amendment to limit campaign contributions and spending.

Alright... if Obito left Konoha with Kyuubi, do you really think Minato would leave it like this? Nope, he, along with whole Konoha would investigate whole case. And it was still very early, Obito had no Bijuu to his disposition yet, last thing he wanted was Konoha chasing after him.if obito was there ONLY for the eye moon plan then he doesn't need to kill minato (he had his chances to take the kyuubi and take of but he didn't and headed to konoha to kill minato)
Like I said, thats only you theory, nothing more, nothing less.so he did it as his personal revenge for not being there to stop rin's death.

Re-enactments of true events in documentaries are common practice. University of Minnesota professors Rose Brewer and John Wright both were critical of the use of re-enactments in Mighty Times: The Children's March, which won the best short documentary Oscar in 2005, during a discussion after its August 24 screening at the Glover-Sudduth Center in Minneapolis. The film was about the 1963 Children's Crusade in Birmingham, Alabama, when thousands of Black children of all ages were arrested and jailed in seven days of protests. (See "Film on 1963 Birmingham Children's Crusade gets free screening" in MSR Aug. 16-22 issue.)
First produced for HBO, the film used scenes that included actors and shot at locations outside of Birmingham. Continue Reading →

Ronald D. Stephens has worked in school security for nearly 28 years. As executive director of the National School Safety Center in California, he's consulted with school officials in places linked forever with school shootings — places like Red Lake, Minn.; Paducah, Ky., Broward County, Fla.; and Littleton, Colo.
But, in one sense, Newtown, Conn., is different, Stephens said.
"I have never seen a school shooting that has been so vicious, so heartless, so callous" as the one that killed 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Stephens said.
The majority of the victims, as much of the world now knows, were 6- and 7-year-olds. Six adults were also shot and killed at the school, including the gunman, Adam Lanza, who took his own life and that of his mother, whom he shot in their home before driving to the school.
Given the horrific nature of the crime, the next point Stephens made might be hard for the public to grasp: Children are safer in school than outside of it. About 100 times safer, if you do the math — and Stephens has.
Since the shootings at Columbine High School in 1999, districts have done many things to make schools safer. They've installed security systems and initiated better screening of visitors. Many have hired school resource officer. And they've adopted school safety plans, which anticipate threats and specify what adults and children will do in the event of everything from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, to a gunman on campus.
"After Columbine, there was a lot more emphasis placed on safe school plans," said Eric Sparks, assistant director of the American School Counselor Association.
No longer simply a vague plan "sitting on a shelf," the safe schools plan became a working document that addressed specific threats, including the threat of violence. Schools also took training for students and staff more seriously. They had lockdown drills and practiced the routines they would need to follow in case of emergency.
It's perhaps hard to imagine anything worse than what happened at Sandy Hook. Yet without the kind of training staff members received — and the extraordinary degree of courage and composure they displayed — the Dec. 14 shootings might have claimed even more lives.
"As horrific as the tragedy was in Newtown, it could have been much worse had the teachers, the staff, the principal, the administrators not followed the lockdown procedures they had been trained to follow, had they not actually taken the children and secluded them, really depriving the killer of further targets," NSBA General Counsel Francisco M. Negrón said on C-SPAN's Washington Journal. "So it was their training to basically ferret out the children — keeping them safe, keeping them calm — that made this a less horrific tragedy than it could have been, in terms of numbers."
In the days after the shooting, Negrón also spoke on NPR's "All Things Considered," where he said that the recent shooting by an external gunman represented "a turning point" in the discussion of school safety. He said this should elicit discussions between district officials and law enforcement about how to deal with a shooter from outside the school community. In the wake of Columbine and other school shootings, schools focused on internal issues, such as school climate and bullying, and on identifying students with mental problems. This kind of effort, while essential, does not address a threat posed from outside.
Negrón told C-SPAN that moves to arm teachers and administrators, which have been suggested by Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell and others, are not the answer because school staff members are not routinely trained in law enforcement.
"Teachers and administrators are hired to teach our children," Negrón said. "That's a very different skill set [from law enforcement]."
Sparks, of the American School Counselor Association, agreed.
"Having school staff with guns — that would be a challenging situation in terms of training and school safety," Sparks said. "And it takes a whole different angle on the possibility of things going wrong."
That could include gun accidents and other unintended consequences of adding firepower to some 120,000 places across the country that were designed for learning – what Stephens likened to creating "120,000 Fort Knoxes." Is that the kind of climate we want for our children? he asked.
And even these actions would not ensure protection from a heavily armed intruder, unconcerned for his own life and bent on mass murder, Stephens said.
"I don't know of a school district in America that is prepared to deal with assault-style attacks on their campuses."

Looks good so far. I'll be very interested to see how this goes.
I've never entered a contest for mapping. I've been happy making tokens and maps solely for myself. I was looking at GP's work and thinking how completely backwards it is from my own approach. No offense meant to him being backward.. I mean I am just as backward from his approach.
So here is my 1st nights work, based on a rough sketch. This is just a screen shot so it may be blurry, the working file is quite large at the moment.

I ended up putting another hour into it and would probably work for another 2 except I have to go to bed.
This is a closer shot of the upper left where I have a deeper room, and a transition of the old crypts into the new expansion.
Its not so much that I chose to create my dungeon from the rooms upward to the crypt complex, its just I had definite ideas I wanted to implement in a few of the various chambers. Yet, I had no idea, until tonight what my crypt was going to look like. Last minute decisions so to speak, and with tonight's result.
I consider it a compliment, that you decided to emulate my Vampiress Crypt in your own style. Thank you DevinNight, at least I consider it a compliment.
Just so you know, the I.C.E. contest is to create a Crypt, not necessarily a Crypt of a Vampiress, that was just my take on the direction I intended to go. Not to say, you shouldn't create one, just name it differently so as not to confuse the voting on the I.C.E. boards.
Check out mine, DN. I'm done!

I really am sorry GP, I didn't have a chance to read the contest... I thought they wanted something with a vampiress. I will change the theme and the name. Now I look like the guy who runs around taking other peoples ideas and insults their way of doing things. Which I try not to do. Again my appologies.
Can a Mod please change the name to Crypt of the Mad Monk.

Here is what I could do this morning and early afternoon.
current file size is large 20 x30 inches 8-9 layers around 600mb.
Super cool. I'm not used to one square being six foot, but that's OK. I wanna see a big version when you're all done!
Looks great so far.
I guess from the scale that you saw that it needs 3' hexes as the final grid.
I love the concept of a mad monk. Very gothic.
Wait.. Hexes! I guess I really need to learn how to read.
Who uses hexes for indoor mapping? If the hexes don't overlay very well I might have to scrap this as an entry.
Anyway, here is my work for today. I need to add some serious cobwebs and stuff even more crap in there.. I want it to feel a bit claustraphobic.
Thanks for the comments so far, I'm open to any comments on the work.

Reflective Open Box
this wiki
I have been very impressed to read, in SBJ #17, that the solar panel cooker (SPC) idea, as publicized by Barbara Kerr and myself in the preceding issue, had met with an abundant response. Even negative results can be of interest when we seek to understand them. For instance, in the comment, "I used a "turkey -size" oven cooking bag and a dark ceramic teapot. Nothing!", there are two interesting clues. First the ceramic teapot was not a good choice because ceramic can be a bad conductor of heat [depending on its density, Ed.]. Food can remain lukewarm, even if the pot is very hot on the outside. And secondly, a turkey is an enormous bird, and using a bag appropriate to hold it may mean that the quantity of food could have been too big for the cooker.
Let us not forget that the SPC was designed as a substitute for the traditional box for small quantities of food. The dimensions given for my prototype in SBJ #16 are appropriate only when cooking for one person.
During the 1994 summer, I somewhat improved the SPC's convenience and efficiency by introducing two changes: a new system for creating the greenhouse effect and a more compact design.
Undoubtedly, oven bags are unbeatable for their lightness, but in my city (Lyon, 500,000 inhabitants) there are no oven bags available in the supermarkets. On the other hand, Pyrex salad bowls are very easy to find everywhere in France--even in small towns. Their price (about $4 US) is ten times the price on an oven bag, but they can be used hundreds of times for solar cooking as well as for other purposes in the kitchen. For traveling, however, they are relatively heavy and cumbersome.
This can be done by placing the dark pot into a glass dish whose diameter is slightly larger than that of the pot.
Obviously the advantages of such a system are partially offset by extra heat loss from the uninsulated lid. By raising the pot off the ground a further gain is achieved. In fact, my experiments have shown that cooking times with this new system are no longer than with the original design with a salad bowl up-turned over the pot.
In order to improve stability, I reduced the number of panels from five to four. A pleasant surprise was that the removal of the central back panel not only resulted in a more compact and stable cooker, but also improved the efficiency of the reflective surfaces, by permitting multiple reflections between the two remaining vertical panels. This peculiar assembly I propose to call a "reflective open box" (ROB) to distinguish it from the original solar panel cooker (SPC).

A study conducted by a non-government organisation, Twaweza, in January this year indicates a slight but statistically insignificant recovery of inflation with 64.5 per cent out of 59.3 per cent of citizens having three meals a day.
The study based on mobile phone interviews with 358 residents in three Dar es Salaam districts focuses on food consumption and perception of their economic situation.
Published in January, this year, the study describes how high inflation rate has affected the lives of Dar es Salaam residents. Results show how in times of soaring food prices, the number of low income households that could afford three meals a day has dropped by 20 per cent since a baseline survey was conducted in 2010.
It also shows that Tanzania has recently experienced a very modest slow-down in inflation and assesses whether this trend has an observable effect on residents' food consumption patterns and the current economic situation.
The results suggest slight improvements in the level of food security compared to the January 2012 survey – but many indicators of food consumption are still lower than in 2010. As a rough indicator for food security, respondents were asked how many meals per day they had during the week before the interview whereas in the 2010 baseline survey, 72.3 per cent of all respondents reported that they typically had three meals a day.
According to all three survey rounds, respondents were also asked how often they had certain types of food during the week before the interview.

Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
this wiki
|Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
|Video game info
|Playable on
|Naruto: Clash of Ninja
|Release Date
|November 17, 2009
Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III is the first Shippūden game released for the Wii in the US and the third game going by the Revolution subtitle.
It is the fifth instalment of the Clash of Ninja series and the overall tenth game using the Gekitō Ninja Taisen fighting engine. The European version is slightly different from the American version in that several glitches have been fixed and the in-battle voices for all characters are Japanese, with several new voice clips recorded and even new voice actors cast for some characters.
The game boasts a robust roster of 40 playable characters. It covers the Kazekage Rescue Arc in the story mode, as with the first Shippūden game in the Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX series in Japan, and it is also the first game in the series to have Wi-fi connectivity for online battles. It also features what was described as an "overhauled combat system." While many characters have already undergone changes due to the time skip in the story, almost every character has had some major changes since their last appearances in the previous game or Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3. For example, Kakashi, a mainstay of the series since the first game, has been changed, now sporting a few new moves and several jutsu copied from other characters that he can use at any time. Several characters also receive new alternate special attacks different from Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3 to Clash of Ninja Revolution 3, examples include Naruto, Sakura, Gaara, Kankurō, Itachi and Sasori. The changes also involve removing certain attacks or abilities that proved too much of either a drawback or were overpowering in competitive play, as well as remapping previous attacks. Other inclusions are being able to attack while getting up from a downed position, and universal uses that involve the Body Flicker Technique. Certain characters' strong attacks now use up a small amount of chakra as opposed to those that drain chakra if they are delayed.
The game features a total of 40 different stages to play on, with stage transitions turned off. Stage jumping can now occur both on 1st and 2nd tiered areas back and forth, enabling possible stage jumping in both directions, though this does not work for certain stages however as some of them still work only one-way. There is also a new feature called Latent Ninja Powers, which is the translated Senzai Ninriki feature from 2008's Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3. However, most character's original Senzai Ninriki/Latent Ninja Powers like their specials have been changed from Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3 to Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 most likely for balance. Almost every character also has a custom throwing animation in one way or another. During the Two-Man Squad mode, it is now possible to set two players to one character each on one squad, rather than one player controlling both characters of a pair. Aside from this, the Two-Man Squad mode also allows a player to call up the character they're not playing as to aid them for a short time with a predetermined combo, or have the other character attack as they enter the field, a feature which was used as standard in Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4 on the GameCube. Many other features that were in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, such as Kumite Mode and Mission Mode make a return. The shop feature from Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 and Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3 also makes a return for purchasing modes and characters. Instead of being run by Anko as it previously was, is now owned by Bando. With this, some content requires the need to be unlocked first before being available for purchase, and the prices are not as cheap as in the previous games, and money is instantly earned during a character's winning animation.
Most of these changes carry over to Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! Special.
