MTV News' live stream Monday night (November 15) brought "Harry Potter" fans right onto the red carpet of the U.S. premiere of "Deathly Hallows – Part 1" in New York as we chatted with the film's biggest stars and celebrity fans, including Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes and more.
Naturally, one of the highlights was when we caught up with the main man himself, Daniel Radcliffe, who revealed that "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling sent him a very interesting text message after the film's London premiere last week.
"Basically, it amounted to the fact that she felt I had been very good in this 'Harry Potter' film, and as a reward for that, she wasn't going to [write] any more 'Harry Potter' [books]," Radcliffe revealed to MTV News.
"I'm sure she will be writing other books," he continued. "But I can pretty much guarantee that Harry will not be a feature."
This is major news for all the Potterheads out there hoping for more Harry. Rowling has often said that she always knew how Harry's story would end — in the seventh and final book. She has not said, however, that she won't ever write another Potter-themed book.
We asked Radcliffe if the possibility of no more Harry Potter adds a sense of sadness to see it all come to an end.
"It's sad, absolutely," he said. "[But] we're going out on a high note. To sustain this level of quality for 10 years is a very rare thing in a big franchise. I think it's us and 'Toy Story,' to be honest. I think we've done amazingly. I'm thrilled."
Are you sad to see the "Potter" franchise come to an end? Tell us in the comments!

Chinese pairs team Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao and American Evan Lysacek were golden yesterday at Skate America in Lake Placid. Meanwhile Yu-Na Kim of South Korea took a huge lead in the ladies event and Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto of the United States strengthened their lead in ice dance.
The skaters are competing for a global pot of $180,000 (U.S.) and spots in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, slated for Tokyo in December. Lysacek pocketed $18,000 for his win while Shen and Zhao were awarded that amount (as a pair) as well. The Chinese pair and American star have earned places in the final. "I really wanted to do a good job in my home country," Lysacek said. "I've been to Skate America I think five times now and I have a lot of silvers and really wanted to win gold this year."
Lysacek held on to the overnight lead to claim gold but the skaters in the spots below him shuffled spots. Shawn Sawyer of Canada pulled up from fifth to claim the silver medal and Ryan Bradley (USA) vaulted from eighth to third overall to capture the bronze medal.
Lysacek compiled a season best 158.55 points (77.55 element score/81.00 program component score) and racked up a total of 237.72 points. Lysacek won his first gold at Skate America.
The reigning World champion's program to "Sheherazade" featured a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination, two triple Axels (one in combination with a double toe), a triple loop, triple flip-double toe-double loop, a triple Lutz and strong spins. His only miscue came when he stepped out of the triple Salchow.
"My goal of this season was just to take one step forward at each event," Lysacek said. "Tonight was obviously a much better score than China. I had no technical deductions tonight, so that was an accomplishment for me."
Sawyer scored a season best 137.96 (68.86/69.10) for his free skate and a total of 203.91 points to take his first Grand Prix medal of his career. "I'm extremely proud of myself," he said. "I put so much passion into my training and when I come to compete and it doesn't work out, I get really mad at myself. Today, I gave a real performance, I gave a show. My jumps were not all perfect, but they are not always perfect in practice."
Sawyer put out a playful routine to "Amadeus," a medley of music by Mozart. He landed a triple flip-triple toe loop combination, three other triples and showed off his flexibility in his spins that were all graded a level four. He stumbled on a cheated triple Axel and on the back end of his double Axel-triple toe combination.
Bradley stood in eighth place after a faulty short program but made up for it with the second-best free skate of the night. The American charmed the audience with his program, also skated to a Mozart medley from "Amadeus." He hit a quadruple toe and a quadruple-double toe combination as well as four clean triples and had two level-four spins. He stumbled on a triple flip and popped a Salchow.
Bradley earned a season best 138.88 points (70.38/68.50) and jumped on to the podium with 198.12 points. "I've been out three times this year internationally and I've been training so hard and so well, but the first two times (competitions) were really disappointing for me," he said. "Today was just about putting everything together at the right time. It wasn't perfect, but I'm excited to see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel."
Florent Amodio (FRA) slipped from second to fourth at 197.58 points,. Bradley edged him by less than one point. Amodio hit a nice triple Axel and triple loop, but most of his other jumps were not clean.
Tomas Verner (CZE) moved up from 11th to fifth place. He fell on a quad toe loop but landed six triple jumps (194.06 points). Brandon Mroz (USA), who was ranked third in the short program, plummeted to eighth after several errors.
Lysacek pocketed 15 points and proceeds to the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final with 28 points. Sawyer now has 16 points and Bradley has 11 points (he finished out of the points in Paris). Verner has 20 points from his two events and still a chance to qualify for the Final, depending on what will happen next week at Skate Canada.
Shen and Zhao of China continued their successful comeback this season by winning their second Grand Prix event this season. The husband-and-wife team collected 127.04 points (62.20 element score/65.84 program component score), and complied a competition mark of 201.40. "It wasn't such a good performance today, because we felt tired. Some elements weren't so good and we hope to skate better in the Grand Prix Final," Zhao said.
Ukraine's Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov took the silver medal while Dan Zhang and Hao Zhang of China moved up from fifth place to clinch the bronze medal.
Shen and Zhao landed side-by-side triple toe loops, a triple twist, throw triple Salchow and difficult lifts in their romantic "Adagio" routine. The couple received a level four for the spins, the spiral sequence and a level three for the rarely seen forward outside death spiral.
However, Zhao stumbled badly on the second jump in the double Axel-double Axel sequence. Shen put down her hand on the throw triple loop.
"We skated our free program better at the Cup of China. We are now looking at the protocol to see what we need to improve in our elements," Zhao said "There is something still lacking in some elements."
Volosozhar and Morozov earned a season best 110.12 points (56.40/54.72) and were ranked third in the free skate. Overall they remained in second place with171.82 points.
Their powerful program to "Pearl Harbor" included a big triple twist, throw triple loop and Salchow as well as level-four spins. The Ukrainians also picked up a level four for their impressive one-armed lifts.
Morozov struggled with the side-by-side jumps. He stepped out of the first jump of the triple toe-triple toe sequence and the second jump didn't receive credit. He also doubled the side-by-side Salchow.
"Today we didn't do the first two elements," Morozov said. "Overall it was a bit difficult to skate, but after the errors on the jumps we did all the other elements very well and were rewarded for it. We've fought and tried to give our best, so we are quite satisfied overall."
Zhang and Zhang stood in fifth place after the short program. They rallied in the free skate, performing to "Sheherazade." The reigning World silver medalists scored 111.35 points (58.47/52.88) and moved up two spots with a total mark of 168.19.
"Today I'm very happy," a smiling Hao Zhang said. "Yesterday we made errors. Today wasn't our best either. We almost didn't sleep last night and felt tired."
Zhang and Zhang nailed a double Axel-triple toe loop combination and side-by-side triple Salchows. The successfully executed a high triple twist as well as a throw triple loop and Salchow.
Their only major glitch came in the side-by-side combination spin where he was off balance.
Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker (USA) came in fourth at 165.37 points. They completed a triple Salchow-double toe combination, a triple twist and level-four spins, but both stepped out of the double Axel and she two-footed the throw triple Salchow and loop.
Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig (USA) placed fifth. Their routine included a throw triple Lutz, a triple twist and difficult lifts and spins, but both the solo jumps were under-rotated and downgraded (148.33 points).
Meagan Duhamel and Craig Buntin (CAN) withdrew during the free skate as Duhamel had injured her right ankle in the warm up and then took a bad fall on the throw triple loop in the program. They stood in third place following the short program.
Shen and Zhao earned 15 points for their win and have qualified for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final with the maximum of 30 points. Volosozhar and Morozov (13 points) and Zhang/Zhang (11 points) both collected 24 points overall and will have to wait and see if they make it to the final.
Kim of Korea captured the ladies short program and established a new record score en route. Rachael Flatt (USA) and Hungary's Julia Sebestyen came in second and third.
Kim, the reigning World champion, skated last and put out another splendid performance of her cool James Bond program. She earned 76.28 points (44.00/32.28). "My short program is very special to me. It makes me enjoy the competition," she said. "I was very nervous, because my short program in Paris (at the Trophée Bompard) was perfect and I felt the pressure. But as soon as my music started, I felt comfortable on the ice."
She nailed an effortless triple Lutz-triple toe combination, the triple flip and a double Axel out of a spiral move. The 19-year-old was awarded a level four for two spins and the spiral sequence and a level three for the footwork and the combination spin.
"My footwork and the last spin were a little slow," she said. "When I saw my score, I didn't realize at first that it was a new world record score."
Flatt risked a triple flip-triple toe loop combination right out of the gate, but fell on the second jump. The 2008 World junior champion recovered to land a triple Lutz, a double Axel and produced two level-four spins. Flatt earned a season best 58.80 points (33.40/26.40) for her performance to "Sing Sing Sing."
"'m very happy about the fact that I did get credit for it (the triple-triple combination)," Flatt explained. "It was a little bit of a slip up. I don't remembering falling even in training. My choreographer Lori Nichol said, 'Just bounce if you have a mistake,' so this is kind of something what I've been taking into account. I've been training just to forget about it (a mistake) and move on, continue with a clean program. This is kind of what I did today."
Skating to "Song from a Secret Garden, " Sebestyen received 58.54 points (32.10/26.44), a season best. "I was very happy at the end of my program, because it was one of my goals to skate a clean short program," she said. "This was better than in Moscow (at Rostelecom Cup). The jumps were the same, but the spins and the footwork were better. A clean short program was the first step for me."
Fumie Suguri (JPN) finished fourth at 56.05 points. Elena Glebova (EST) is currently ranked fifth (52.28 points).
The original dance for the 2009-10 season is the folk/country dance. Belbin and Agosto built on their lead and are ranked ahead of Russia's Jana Khokhlova and Sergei Novitski and Italians Anna Cappellin and Luca Lanotte.
Belbin and Agosto's Moldavian dance was energetic. The routine was highlighted by a straight-line lift with changes of position, fast twizzles and smooth footwork.
The reigning World silver medalists earned a season best 60.95 points (29.90 element score/31.05 program component score). With two portions of the competition completed, they have accumulated 100.23 points.
"Today's original dance felt really good. We really had a great time out there today," Agosto said. "We felt like we were able to improve on our performance a little bit from China. We only had a week, but we really wanted to keep the energy up a little bit higher and to make it more of a dance."
Khokhlova and Novitski's Russian dance scored 49.53 points (21.90/27.63) and were ranked fifth in the OD, but held on to second place overall at 86.47 points. "Although not everything went the way we would have liked it, it still was a positive day," Novitski said.
Cappellini and Lanotte scored 54.09 points (27.80/26.29), a season best, and were ranked second in this portion of the event. They have now 86.13 points. "We are very happy with our performance. It was very strong, very clean and the crowd was amazing," commented Lanotte.
Alexandra Zaretski and Roman Zaretski (ISR) are currently ranked fourth at 83.83 points. Kimberly Navarro and Brent Bommentre (USA) finished fifth with an entertaining Brazilian dance (81.47 points).

Marked By Moonlight
Sharie Kohler
2008, Shapeshifter Romance
Pocket Books, $6.99, 352 pages, Amazon ASIN 1416542272Part of a series
Sharie Kohler is aka Sophie Jordan
Are you tired of vampires but love paranormal romance? Well then pick up Marked By Moonlight, the first in a new series about lycans (werewolves). It features a great heroine, a yummy hero, and several secondary characters whom I know we will see again since this is the first book in a new series, The Moonchasers.
Claire Morgan is a teacher. She is shy, thinks herself plain and avoids conflict, having grown up in a home where her bullying father was prone to use his fists. She is passionate about her pupils and, as the story begins, she has gone to see Lenny Alvarez. Lenny is smart, but lives in a troubled home in a bad neighborhood. Claire has been tutoring him for his ACT tests, but he's not only missed regular class, but her sessions too, and she's worried about him. While trying to find Lenny, Claire is attacked and bitten by a dog and badly shaken up.
Unknown to Claire, that was not a dog that attacked her, it was Lenny. Lenny had been turned by an alpha lycan and that's the reason for his absence from school. When it's the time of the full moon, lycans attack and Claire was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hiding in the shadows observing it all is Gideon March, an agent for NODEAL, the National Organization for Defense against Evolving and Ancient Lycanthropes. He is one of many men (the organization is all male) who are sworn to kill all lycans (they all carry a supply of silver bullets). Gideon shoots Lenny, putting the tormented young man out of his misery, and normally he would kill Claire as well since she has been bitten and will turn at the next full moon, but he simply can't do it. When he confronts Claire she thinks he is insane even though she has no explanation for the changes that have taken place in her body. Gideon must make Claire believe his story and then they have to find the alpha who attacked and turned Lenny. If Gideon can kill the alpha before the next full moon, Claire will not be damned to lycanthropy.
Marked By Moonlight is a straightforward story without a lot of complex world building. I've read some paranormal books that had such complex rules for their worlds as to totally confuse the reader. Not so here; I was perfectly at home from the very beginning. I will admit that it does strain credulity since the book posits that there are lots of lycans out there, lots and lots of lycans who are committing lots and lots of murders, rapes and other crimes, plus there's this worldwide group of NODEAL agents who fight them and all the while no one notices them. But I'm pretty good at suspending my disbelief, so I went with the set up and enjoyed it.
Claire is a wonderful example of the mouse who roars. As a child her bully of a father subjected her to emotional and physical abuse and she grew up trying hard not to be noticed. She is sweet and pretty, but thinks herself ugly and as a teacher she sometimes has problems with troublemakers in her class. After her encounter with the lycan and before she knows what has happened, she finds herself not only physically stronger, but also able to stand up to her father and able to make one of the worst troublemakers in her class stand down and respect her. Claire walks tall, is more forceful and has a presence she never had before. When Claire realizes what has caused this, of course she wants to get back to her normal self, but a part of her doesn't want to go back to the spineless creature she once was.
For Gideon, killing lycans is personal. His mother was attacked by one and she killed his father in her mindless rage. Gideon and his sister were taken in by Cooper, head of the North American branch of NODEAL and for a number of years, Gideon has done nothing but kill lycans. Meeting Claire causes him to examine his work and his life, and he gets further food for thought when he meets the lycan Darius. Darius is older than any other and he is not the mindless ravisher that Gideon thinks all lycans are. I am very sure that we will meet Darius again in a future book, and I am looking forward to reading it.
Marked By Moonlight has its share of small problems. Gideon and Claire have a short time to find the alpha lycan before her change is irreversible, and if I was in their place, I'd be spending more time out looking and less time having sex. And at the end, Claire pulls an "I am stupid and ugly and Gideon will not love me, so I will just leave him without explanation" stunt that had me wanting to shake her. However, I was able to overlook these small problems. This was a very enjoyable read and I know I will be following this series.

TC TO DAVID LAING; 4 May 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540504-TC-DL-01; CL 29: 91
Chelsea, 4 May 1854—
My dear Sir,
I got the Knox about a week ago; many thanks for your new kindness in that matter;—and great success in getting thro' that truly pious Enterprise in which all Scotchmen and good men have an interest. I hope there is no danger of your being stopped again for want of Subscribers. If there be, put down my name for one.
The Raeburn Catalogue1 did not turn up at all; had unluckily been lost. If you have another spare copy, and chance of sending it, I shall be glad.
Under great hindrances, and in a very hasty and poor manner, I have now likewise written down some rough and ready things on the General Portrait Exhibition. Here the poor Paper is, as it stands; with all its faults on his head! It is far too long, for one very fatal fault. But on the whole I could not help it: that is what the angry gods permitted me to do at this time; and you must make of it what you can. It will give me real pleasure, if the project do take root, and one day come to perfection in sight of all the world.— In haste,
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle
D. Laing Esq

An existing website have many images placed within the content of pages. I'd like to redesign the template, separating the display of text and images. How could i do that?
You could use, for example,
For example, appending all images to the end of the content:
As suggested by @G.M., you can separate the remove and display of the img.
Define a function to remove the images:
Define a function to get the images:
Now wherever you want to display the images you can call the above function passing the content where you want to extract the images from. For example, if you are inside the loop:
I would say if this would be a static page then do not separate it out in a template, use the wp editor to write the html and style it separately. but if it would be a dynamic page it would be great if you make a page template for the same.
if you plan to go with the page template following links might help --
@cybnet answer is a good one (I've upvoted it) and it's simpler than mine.
When he edit his answer adding feature similar to template tag I had already written the mine.. I decided to don't delete this answer because I use a different approach.
(Explaination after code an in inline comments)
This function is hooked in a pre-update action and in the content filter.
So when a post containing images is updated, the images are stripped out from content and automatically putted in a custom field. The content is also updated to cntain no images.
If a post containing images is shown using
But how to print images that are stripped out? write a custom template tag for the purpose:
Now, in your loop, where ever you want, add
to print all the images. You can customize a lot the output using provided args. In addition you can customize the output using the custom filter
This function can be used outside the loop using passing post ID or post object as second argument:
If you want just return an array of the images, use
thanks a lot for your answers here is how i have had sorted it:

"At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." (Matthew 12:1-6 KJV)
There are few people who do not desire to be number one in those things they do or wherever they go. It is somewhat of a built-in craving to be the greatest achiever or performer at whatever they do. There is nothing wrong in desiring to excel in ones performance but it can be bad if the desire is that of wanting to be seen and admired of others. Jesus answer above shows that one must have humility and this is taught throughout the Bible.
In another place, Jesus explained after a scathing denunciation of the Scribes and Pharisees made these final remarks to those round him:
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." (Matthew 23:9-12 KJV) [Read verses 1 through 12 Here].
There are other things which will cause one to be great in the kingdom of heaven, but it will not be something to boast of. It will be something to be extremely grateful for. In the places where Jesus mentions being the greatest in the kingdom, it has no reference or inference to ones being elevated over others but simply that their humility has caused them to be great in the sight of God.
In Deuteronomy chapter 5, Moses gathers all Israel together and read unto them the ten commandments given to him by God on Mount Sinai. It would be beneficial if one would read this entire chapter to see how Moses emphasized the obedience to these commandments and then in chapter 6 he had this to add to it, stressing strict obedience:
"Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey." (Deuteronomy 6:1--3 KJV)
And it would also be beneficial for the reader to completely read this chapter 6 also.
So never determine to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven to satisfy your pride or to to be glorified above others. Simply strive to be the most humble, obedient and the most productive in the sight of the Lord and you might just make it to be the greatest in heaven.
No, really, there will be no greatest, or 'top dog' in heaven except the Lord. Those of his children will be equal since they will have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine referred to by Paul in Romans 6:17.

College Hockey:Clarkson's Karpowich makes 43 saves in tie with Quinnipiac
HAMDEN, Conn. — Clarkson and Quinnipiac skated to 1-1 tie on Friday night in a matchup of two teams on the edge of the national rankings.
Clarkson's Paul Karpowich stole the show stopping 43 shots, including 21 in the third period alone.
"When you outshoot a team 44-11, you expect to win the game, but I still thought our guys played well," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold.
The Golden Knights are still without their top two goal scorers, Ben Sexton and Louke Oakley, and with just 11 shots on goal in the entire game, it showed.
"With two of your top scorers out, what you're looking to do is grind out some games," Clarkson head coach Casey Jones said. "You're looking for help from your special teams and we weren't great on our power plays tonight."
The Bobcats struck first at the 15:57 mark of the first period on Jeremy Langlois' sixth power-play goal of the season. After a Corey Tamblyn boarding call, the Bobcats went on the advantage.
QU's Matthew Peca fed Scott Zurevinski down low on the right side. Zurevinski swept a pass through the slot to Langlois at the far post who went top shelf past Karpowich for the 1-0 lead.
With the assist, Peca extends his points streak to 11 straight games.
"He's pretty good for a true freshman," said Pecknold. "He just gets better and better every week and he was one of the better players on the ice tonight."
Early in the second period, a Bobcat hooking call sparked a Clarkson advantage.
Before QU could touch up, Matt Zarbo connected with Adam Pawlick on the left side. Pawlick waited for traffic in front of the net and rifled a shot that hit off the left post and into the back of the net past Eric Hartzell.
The score would remain 1-1 thanks to the stellar play of Karpowich.
Early in the third period, Langlois found space on the near side where he ripped a shot on net that was kicked aside by Karpowich. The rebound jumped off his left leg pad and into the slot where Peca had a second chance opportunity, but Karpowich positioned himself to take away the net.
Late in the third period, the Bobcats had their best chance to take the lead on neutral zone turnover by Clarkson. After QU's Zach Davies had a dump-in hit his pads, he connected with Bryce Van Brabant on the left wing in the neutral zone. Davies made a move on the right wing and took the pass back from Van Brabant on the right side. Davies got breathing room on the Clarkson defender and cut to the net. Davies' backhand shot was stopped by Karpowich as he went right to left. The puck squirted free and Karpowich jumped on the rebound.
When asked what his best save of the night was, Karpowich had to stop and think.
After a big grin, he made his choice.
"[Davies] got around the d-man Labrecque and pulled me wide and I got a pad on it. Then it came free and I was able to grab it," Karpowich said. "That was probably the biggest."
The Bobcats would have two power-play chances in the final five minutes of the third period, but could not get the puck into the Clarkson net.
The overtime produced one final quality chance as Peca took the puck at the right circle. As he dropped just below the circle he wristed a shot as he tried to go five-hole. Karpowich dropped to one knee as the rebound came back on the stick of Peca, but he couldn't get the shot off again as the Clarkson defense knocked it away.
"There are times when a goaltender can steal a point for a team and tonight Karpowich did that," Pecknold said.

text: May 24, 2014 18:21 Firm picked to lease Water Campus, Bon Carré Firm picked to lease Water Campus, Bon Carré Rendering provided to The Advocate -- A new coastal restoration and protection campus on a 30-acre site just south of the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge will enable researches to test restoration measures such as river diversions, and includes a $20 million coastal education and research center. BY TIMOTHY BOONE| firstname.lastname@example.com May 19, 2014; 5:38 p.m. Comments Corporate Realty Inc. has been selected to help find tenants for the Water Campus and the Bon Carré Business Center in Baton Rouge. Commercial Properties Realty Trust announced Monday that it had selected New Orleans-based Corporate Realty to represent its leasing needs. Commercial Properties, the real estate arm of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, is developing and managing the Water Campus between downtown and LSU. The organization also manages Bon Carré, which is home to tenants such as Cox Communications and Venyu, a data center operator. Michael J. Siegel, president of Corporate Realty, said he is thrilled to help implement Commercial Properties' vision for the two developments. The Water Campus is being kicked off with three buildings: the headquarters for both the Water Institute of the Gulf and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and the River Modeling Center. But Siegel said the three buildings, which should open by 2016, are "just a toe in the water." A broader vision for the Water Campus exists, one that calls for 10 to 15 buildings, with a million square feet of office and research space. "Ultimately, you'll have a little bit of everything. Engineering and construction firms, governmental agencies; any public or private groups having something to do with coastal erosion or water conservation," he said. "You'll have design and construction firms wanting to be part of this once the ball starts rolling." Unlike the Water Campus, Siegel said most of Bon Carré is occupied by tenants. In November, it was disclosed that the 850,000-square-foot center was 90 percent occupied. "Commercial Properties has done a good job of redeveloping; we want to help take them to the next level," he said. Along with offering ample parking, there are some blocks of vacant space that are about 30,000 to 35,000 square feet. This is at a time when vacant office space in Baton Rouge is at a premium, Siegel said. Compiled by Advocate writer Timothy Boone. He can be reached at email@example.com or at (225) 388-0357.

Gwyneth Paltrow Continues to Fetishize Other Cultures
America's leading social scientist on the more evolved culture of Spain.
Years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow informed the world that "the British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans." Today, America's leading social scientist explained to an Associated Press reporter how much more evolved things are in Spain:
"It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible," she said. "Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their Blackberries on."
This is great and really helpful; we sure are glad to be educated by Gwyneth like this, but what we, the people at home, would really like from her is some solid proof of these superior cultures. Maybe next time she goes to Western Europe, she can bring some calipers with which to measure everyone's heads.

It's your money. You should buy the gun you want. If you want a Gen4 return it. If you want to settle for the Gen3 then keep it.
This is a discussion on Thought I Was Buying a Glock 26 Gen4 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I took delivery from my local FFL dealer of my new Glock (PN2650501T) yesterday and started studying the manual and checking out the contents of ...
I took delivery from my local FFL dealer of my new Glock (PN2650501T) yesterday and started studying the manual and checking out the contents of teh Glock box.
This is the first gun I have purchased for many year and the first time I have ordered online (from a well-know dealer). Although I had researched which 9mm to purchase and finally which Glock to buy for CC, I naively ordered a Gen3 thinking I was ordering a Gen4. My bad!
Although the Gen4 has been out since at least 4Q2010, evidently Glock and their dealers are still selling the Gen3. I figured that like most manufacturers that the Gen4 was a replacement for the Gen3 and that they would discontinue selling Gen3 when the Gen4 was announced except for what may have been in the factory and/or dealer stocks.
I have revisited several of the gun sites I was checking out to see where I went wrong. In retrospect I now realize that many sites do NOT say Glock 26 Gen3 or Gen4. They simply say Glock 26 and state a part number in the description. One has to either know the specific part number of a Glock 26 Gen4 or at least realize that the Gen3 comes with two magazines and the Gen4 with three magazines & two additional backstraps.
I believe I can return the Gen3 I just received.
I need to decide if I want to return the Gen3. Any input to help me decide will be greatly appreciated.
It's your money. You should buy the gun you want. If you want a Gen4 return it. If you want to settle for the Gen3 then keep it.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. Because it's in English, thank a vet
As far as I am concerned, Gen 3's are the pinnacle of glock goodness. They are like the AK-47 of pistols. Yesterday I bought a NIB gen 3 G19 to go with my G26.
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
I'd say you're better off with the Gen3.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
I just purchased a Gen 3 Glock 23, knowing full well what it was.
I also have a Gen 3 26. I say do what you want, but the Glock Gen 3 is as good as any.
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
Gen 4s cost more, I think.
Yoda, I am, yes.
To put it another way, I don't believe you gain anything with a Gen4 G26, and the Gen3's reputation speaks for itself. It will certainly hold value.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
The double captive recoil spring was one of the changes made in the Gen 4.
The g26 has always had a dual recoil spring, so there will be no difference there between the Gen 3 and 4. So in reality, the only real difference is texture, and interchangeable backstraps.
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
The only way I would send it back is if you paid more for it being a Gen4 than you would have for a Gen3. If that is the case, another solution might be to ask for the difference to be refunded and keep the Gen3 (you certainly won't be disappointed).
Glock 22 Gen 4 w/CBST
Kimber Compact CDP II w/Silent Thunder
A man, without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him; and even this it cannot do long, if the signs of power do not arise.
i would send it back and get the Gen 4. I have a Gen 3 Glock 30SF (.45) and LOVE it, but I just bought a Gen 4 Glock 23 (.40) and love the new spring system (meant to reduce recoil and extend the life of the gun...I'm a woman, so reduced recoil is a BIG plus for me), not to mention the extra back straps and extra magazine!!!!! I've only put a couple hundred rounds through it, but so far Ive been VERY pleased with it. I bought it to be my new CCW (had planned on using the G30, but it's too bulky). Even though the differences in width are minimal, it really makes a difference when you're carrying!!! Get the Gen 4! Just my 2 cents.
Pistols: Glock 21SF, Glock 30SF, Colt 1911 GCT (all .45ACP), S&W Shield (9mm)
Revolvers: Ruger SP 101 (.357MAG/.38SP), Judge (.410G/.45LC)
Long guns: Daniel Defense AR-15's (M4V4 and M4V5), Mossberg Shotguns (400 and 500, both 12G), Ruger (.22;LR)
It it fits you, keep it. If you're thinking you got ripped off because the gen4 has an extra mag, just go buy another mag because it will cost you about +/- $70 to ship it back.
I really like the gen4 glocks, own a 19 and 34, but when it comes to the subcompact models, I like the gen3 better and wouldn't give up my gen3 26 for a gen4.

A couple years ago, a 20-something was discussing her favorite cartoons growing up, saying, "I like old-school cartoons, like 'Rugrats.'" Hearing that made me feel my years. "Rugrats" was "old-school?!" I'm pretty sure I was well into my teens when that show was new. While it may be nostalgic for some to look back at the "Ren and Stimpy" era as the good-old-days of Nick, the old timers like me remember the network in its infancy. In the EARLY 80's, the newly born Nickelodeon had to borrow half of it's programming from BBC, including a unique animated program called "Danger Mouse."
According to The Guardian, "Danger Mouse" is coming back. CBBC has ordered 52 new episodes of the series, having been out of production since 1992. A few things from the original version are promised to stay intact. Danger Mouse will still be assisted by his loveable side-kick, a hamster called Penfold, and their headquarters will still be housed inside of a now out-dated red mailbox. DM's face will still be adorned with the iconic eye-patch, but show runners have indicated that it will now be an "i-patch," suggesting some 21st century tech will be added. Neither character designs nor concept art have been publicized, so we do not yet know how "new" the new Danger Mouse will be.
Back in the day, Danger Mouse was debonair English super-spy. He was the James Bond of the animal kingdom, answering to a walrus called Colonel K, and facing off against a rogues gallery of zoological villains, including the vampire duck Count Duckula (who eventually gained his own spin-off) and the powerful evil frog Barron Silas Greenback. While "Danger Mouse" served as a very blunt parody of cold war spy thrillers, similar to Mel Brooks' "Get Smart," it also carried the dry British wit found in the more subtle sketches from Monty Python or the books of Douglas Adams. It appealed to the young consumer of American Saturday morning programming while carrying sophisticated quips for the elder siblings in the room. The old version of "Danger Mouse" is a program I wouldn't mind stumbling upon on DVD. (As I wrote this, I was able to locate episodes on Hulu and Amazon. It is not, however, available on Netflix.)
Will the new "Danger Mouse" live up to its predecessor? As much as fans love to predict the quality of art before it exists, we can only wait and see. The optimistic position can point to 2005's revival of "Doctor Who" and embrace some hope for a 21st Century "Danger Mouse."

Epica - The Phantom Agony - 2004 Reviewed by: Ken Pierce
Epica (formerly called Sahara Dust) have just released their debut effort entitled "The Phantom Agony" on Transmission Records. This CD is a very well crafted piece. As I listened to the CD, I was reminded of the singer named Annie Haslam who performed for the art/progressive band Renaissance back in the mid 70's. Of course I fear that I am dating myself with a reference such as this but the voices were very similar. When I brought it up with Simone of the band she told me that she had never heard of her before. Of course, Simone is only 18 years old. Yes, I said 18 and she sings like I have not heard in some time. She is also a very beautiful girl, so make sure to check out the pics on the site.
Of the 8 tracks on the there are a few who stick out as my favorites most immediately. They are "Sensorium", "Facade of Reality", and "Seif al Din". The number of tunes is by no means a reflection on the CDs length as the piece runs a little over 50 minutes. Not bad for a debut. The music is deftly performed by the group who combine haunting operatic chorals and spectacular metal skills. As a drummer I always listen to the drums, and really enjoyed the work by Jeroen Simons. He holds it together quite well. In addition to Simone's high pitched Arias there is the male vocal by Mark Jansen. He uses the growls so prevalent in a lot of Black Metal. At the same time he is providing some serious guitar shredding. After Forever fans might miss his playing, but I think they will enjoy his new band quite a bit. Epica, by the labels title of them is considered Epic Gothic Metal, yet it is not as gloomy as some Goth pieces I have heard. The opening sequence "Adyta" gives the feel of some religious service or foreboding chant as it begins with a very dramatic choir piece.
Packaging wise, the CD comes with a fully detailed booklet, lyrics and photos and some great artwork imagery. Like other releases, this comes in a limited-edition Ecobook version, but I did not have this for review purposes. I enjoy extensive liner notes and lyrics, especially in these high priced music retail markets and the listener should get the most for their money. As I described in my After Forever review, the fans of Nightwish will be able to enjoy this group since the music is similar enough to be appreciated by them, however it is different enough to be enjoyed as a totally separate entity. It is a group that I hope tours in the United States for I think they will be a welcome change.
Epica is:
Simone Simons – Mezzo - Soprano
Mark Jansen – Guitars, Grunts, and Screams
Ad Sluijter – Guitars
Geon Janssen – Synths & Piano
Yves Huts – Bass
Jeroen Simons – Drums and Percussion
There are also some considerable Orchestrations as the band employs Violins, Cellos and Violas on the CD. There is also an Epica choir. The list of contributors on that end was too vast for me to provide, so please refer to the band site.

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday at 2:00 a.m., which means it's time to set your clocks back one hour to Pacific Standard Time. With this "fall back," we get an extra hour of sleep that was lost in the spring.
If you need help with your sleep schedule, check out these sleep tips from The Oregonian.
"Saving" vs. "Savings"
While many people add an "s" to "Saving," the correct phrase is "Daylight Saving Time." The idea behind the seasonal clock adjustment is to save daylight during the summer months. For more information, take a look at the history and controversy of Daylight Saving(s) Time.
Regardless, don't forget to set your clocks back an hour before you go to bed Saturday night.

Lately I have had no idea what to make/draw for Deviant Art. Maybe more stamps or Homestuck or Maybe a tutorial on how to make a specific piece of jewelry?
I would love some suggestions from you guys!
Maybe once I get a little more experience under my belt, I can do a few DRAWING COMMISSIONS...
Maybe Homestuck, Hetalia, I can probably do something MLP (humanized or otherwise)...
If it is a stamp, I can do it no problem as long as it doesn't involve animation (though I am currently learning how to do that).
If you have suggestion for me about the jewelry I make, I'll see what I can do! (I can probably do it.)
Maybe I could make something inspired by the Western Zodiac.

The Hottest Women with Short Hair
List Criteria: Women must have had short hair at some point in their careers.
The hottest women with short hair are among the hottest celebrities in movies, television and music who don't need long locks to look fabulous. Varying between the modern bob, the pixie cut and anywhere in between, these women have the bone structure to be among the hottest celebrities of all time even with the shortest hair around.
For some of these sexy celebrities, short hair is the norm. Actresses like Halle Berry, Carey Mulligan, Cameron Diaz, Michelle Williams and Charlize Theron more often than not sport the short looks and do so strikingly. The same goes for singers like Rihanna and Pink, whose often changing, but usually short, hair has earned them spots on the hottest female pop singers lists for a while now.
Others who made this list cut, or shaved even, their hair off for a role and for at least a small part of their career in Hollywood looked great while it lasted. Few can forget when Natalie Portman shaved her head or Miley Cyrus's choice for a mohawk-style shave. Others like Emma Watson, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightly and Rachel McAdams have varied their locks between long and short, not losing a bit of their beauty while doing so.
So which do you prefer? The often short-haired beauties of those who once in a while cut their tresses way short? Regardless, everyone can agree that all of these babes are hot with short hair or long. Vote for your favorite short-haired celebrity, add any not listed or even re-rank this list of the hottest women with short hair all below!

Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park invites everyone to help celebrate a very special Florida resident's 54th birthday. On Friday, January 24, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. visitors can sing-a-long with staff to wish Lu the Hippopotamus a happy birthday and enjoy cupcakes and fruit punch while Lu enjoys a special birthday cake made just for him.
Lu, wasn't born in Florida nor was this African Hippopotamus born in Africa either. He was born at the San Diego Zoo in January of 1960. He's been a regular resident at Homosassa Springs since 1964 when the Ivan Tors Animal Actors troupe spent their winters in Florida. At that time the park was privately owned and when the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Park Service took over ownership in 1989 all of the exotic species, except Lu, were placed in new homes.
When the park became part of the Florida State Park Service focus was placed on wildlife native to Florida. Lu, an exotic species, was allowed to stay in his home of nearly 30 years due to a public effort to keep the beloved animal at Homosassa Springs. The state granted Lu a special Florida citizenship in 1991 and allowed him to stay at the park.
Lu's life at the park today is one of comfort and relaxation, but when he was much younger he was a movie and television star with several credits to his name including the 1960's TV series Daktari and Cowboy in Africa and television specials such as the Art Linkletter Show and a Herb Alpert Special. He appeared in a Union Carbide commercial, as well.
When Lu was born he weighed a scant 90 pounds compared to the 6,000 plus pounds he weighs today. His diet consists of 15 pounds of alfalfa hay, four scoops of herbivore diet and five-gallon bucket of vegetables and fruits every day.
He will certainly enjoy his special birthday cake and the company who come to help him celebrate his birthday on January 24, 2014. For more information about Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park visit the park website.

A reader named Doug pointed out that Pennington is a smart guy. But my immediate reaction was that this is an honorary degree, and should not be misconstrued as him having "achieved" something...
Then, I went and looked up Pennington's college career and learned (thanks to Wikipedia):
In addition to his success on the football field, Pennington excelled academically, graduating with a degree in journalism, a 3.83 grade point average and becoming a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship. He wrote frequently for Marshall's newspaper The Parthenon and was a broadcaster for the school's radio station, although he used a pseudonym on air so as not to be distracting
So, in fact, he is a smart guy, and him not achieving the degree is really irrelevant.

Women, War and Peace
October 20 2011: With three women winning this year's Nobel Peace prize, now is an apt time for PBS's new series, Women, War and Peace initiative, especially as the central character of one of the films is Leymah Gbowee, one of the Nobel Prize winners.
With three women winning this year's Nobel Peace prize, now is an apt time for PBS's new series, Women, War and Peace. This is especially timely as one of the films offers the chance to discover the story of one of the Nobel Prize winners, Leymah Gbowee of Liberia:
Watch Women, War & Peace Trailer on PBS. See more from Women War and Peace.
Innocent women increasingly bear the costs of war. The new forms of war that have developed in the aftermath of the Cold War, including a proliferation of small arms in developing countries, have seen women becoming targets of violence and rape tactics. The series explores this sad and disturbing reality in an episode outlining the story of 16 women in the Balkans seeking justice and a review of sexual violence laws.
The tremendous endeavour shown by these women's fights for their rights is but one aspect of women's issues in war and peace. Women have a clear ability to contribute to peacemaking and peacebuilding initiatives . The series helps to shed light on the question: what is it that women can contribute to peace building that men cannot or do not?
The series tackles these issues through five stories:
- The legal fight of 16 women in Bosnia who had been imprisoned and raped by Serb-led forces (I Came to Testify)
- The struggle for peace of a group of Liberian women who took on warlords and the Charles Taylor dictatorship (Pray the Devil Back to Hell)
- The campaign by three Afghan women to ensure that women's rights are protected in peace talks with the Taliban (Peace Unveiled)
- The story of two women in Colombia standing up for those that have been terrorized and forcibly displaced as a modern war strategy (The War We Are Living)
- A concluding episode, summarising the challenge to the conventional wisdom that war and peace are men's domain (War Redefined)
The importance of these issues is unquestionable, and the series is a welcome initiative that should be built upon in raising awareness of changes that must inevitably take place: firstly, women affected by war must be given better protection, and secondly, that women should be consulted about every peace endeavour no matter what the level.

You are right: innocent women increasingly bear the costs of war. I think this series is timely and of incredible importance for bringing more light to the issue. The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom is gathering information relevant to the National Action Plan for U.S. implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. We would appreciate your help if you can take a moment to fill out a brief survey and maybe encourage your readers to do the same. This information will be collected and shared with policy makers in the U.S. government. http://tinyurl.com/3e4zffz Help us make a difference!

Thank you for sharing and reminding us of these horrific situations. I totally missed the PBS series last year. If one looks at the whole picture, at first it seems quite overwhelming. But each of us should find small, manageable solutions to improve these situations and better ourselves.

"Big Significant Things" was named SXSW audience award winner for excellence in poster design for Corey Holms design this past week after making its world premiere.
The film is director Bryan Reisberg's first feature. He recently answered a few questions about the project.
Tell us about Big Significant Things.
Big Significant Things is the story of a young man, played by Harry Lloyd (Game of Thrones' Viserys Targaryen), who lies to his girlfriend to embark on his first road trip to the South. Along the way he plans to visit several of the World's Largest Roadside Attractions.
What inspired you to tell this story?
I used to day dream about just leaving; going on a trip and not telling anybody. I wasn't serious about it, but I had these naive and romantic visions of leaving my job and friends and family behind in lieu of a wildly spontaneous adventure into the unknown expanses of the world. I think they call that vagrancy these days.
Unfortunately these fantasies usually reduced into logistical exercises. So instead of dreaming about this "wildly spontaneous" adventure, I would spend a lot of time thinking about the implications of being unreachable, who I would need to email to defer student loans, important dates for online bill payment, what my mother would think. She'd probably start chain smoking, stressing about where she went wrong -- and you can't really enjoy wild spontaneity knowing that it's also killing your poor mother. And then I'm also broke so I'm not sure how I'd even pay for it anyways. So it all got really stressful to even think about. And on top of that, I was reminded of some of my favorite films from the 60s and 70s that dealt with similar themes, albeit during an incredibly volatile time in America. At that time, there was a lot to either fight for, or escape from. So it made me think -- well -- what do I have to run away from? I'm 25 and I have a leak-proof roof over my head and a steady job that doesn't require any physical labor. So in the span of an hour, these delusions just turned into me hating myself for whining about my perfectly normal, if not fortunate, life.
How did you pick the locations Craig visits?
For a film of this size, there were myriad challenges in shooting a 'road film' the way that I wanted to do it. It's extremely important to me to shoot in real locations, with real people. And unfortunately, it's neither logistically nor financially possible to move a 50-person film crew around the American South for a month. So we had to have a home base, and I found that Jackson, Mississippi proved to be the perfect place to set up shop for a month. Mississippi provided a diverse landscape of locations that allowed us to properly schedule a film production, and not to mention an incredibly talented community of non-actors that I used to populate the film. And then finally, Mississippi is home to a few of my favorite "World's Largest" Attractions that are featured in the film.
What challenges did you face shooting the film?
There were innumerable challenges that we faced every single day -- that's half the fun of independent filmmaking -- learning to pivot while maintaining your creative focus. The largest challenge, however, was the schedule. There was a lot to shoot, and a lot of ground to cover in 18 days. In the final week of our shoot, while shooting in Gulfport, MS, we had 7 days of overnights. That means we shot from 7pm, to 7am. It was incredibly grueling, but we had a fantastic crew so it was a thrilling way to end the production.
Tell us about your cast. What stood out about their performances?
Casting, for me, is one of the most, if not THE most important process before entering production. First we signed on Harry Lloyd, who was the lead in the film. He and I worked for months before we actually entered pre-production. He's in about 98% of the film, so he really carried the entire film on his shoulders. Harry has such an incredible range, both dramatically and comedically -- so that's what stood out to me. His performance really straddles a very thin line, and I think he pulls it off marvelously.
Next came Krista Kosonen, who is a well-known Finnish actress. This was her first English language film. There's so much about her character that goes unsaid in the film, and Krista really brought a lot of that mystique to the surface in a wonderful way.
The rest of the cast, from featured roles to background roles, to smaller speaking parts here and there -- were all cast locally, which was very important. We spent about a week in open casting calls trying to find the perfect person for each role.
Where can audiences see the film next?
We've got some exciting announcements coming in the next few weeks, and will be traveling to many more film festivals, but right now, you can see the film at the following upcoming festivals:
Crossroads Film Festival
April 3-6, 2014
Kansas City Film Festival

What's next for you as a filmmaker? Do you have any upcoming projects your working on that you can tell us about?
I do a lot of work with my production company partner, Andrew D. Corkin, at Uncorked Productions (www.anuncorkedproduction.com). Right now we're working on producing a few shorts and a feature, and I'm currently writing my next feature film which I will also direct.
