Advocates Look To Solar-Powered Budget
A Southeast Georgia solar energy company is turning over a part of its revenues to a trust fund benefitting Bulloch County. Officials from Tabby Power Solar Company say, the fund is starting small -- with a few thousand dollars invested and a few hundred dollars in annual contributions to the county budget. But, eventually, advocates say, solar power could make Bulloch County and the rest of rural Georgia financially independent.

The Backlash Against Barcelona
Why Barcelona Remains Different From Every Other Elite Team on the Planet; Real Madrid's Conspiracy
Win too much for too long, and folks will try to knock you down. Maybe it's envy, maybe it's a hunger for something new or maybe it's the arrogance that comes with success.
Since the summer of 2008, when Pep Guardiola took over at Barcelona, the club has won 13 of 16 possible trophies. It's also still in the running for another three titles this season: Barcelona has reached the final of the Copa del Rey, the semifinals of the Champions League and is currently in second place in Spain's Liga, though catching Real Madrid would be very difficult.
So perhaps it's not surprising that the ground is fertile for some kind of backlash against Barcelona. Apart from one notable exception, though, there hasn't been much at all.
Most neutrals don't just simply admire Barcelona as one of the greatest teams ever—some say the greatest—but also appreciate the club's philosophy. Guardiola rarely criticizes referees or opponents. In fact, he comes across as humble and thoughtful. The style of play is entertaining and engrossing. The players themselves are generally likable and don't produce kiss-and-tell tabloid headlines or tales of conspicuously vulgar consumption.
The closest you get to a Barca villain is midfield enforcer Sergio Busquets or wingback Dani Alves, both of whom have a penchant for taking a tumble to win a free kick, while Busquets is known for the odd dirty tackle. But that's a function of the modern game. In the continuum of soccer skullduggery, they're both pretty average.
The one exception to the communal celebration of Barcelona's choirboys is the school of thought led by Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho. Whether he believes what he says or not—and there are reasons to believe his barbs are Machiavellian in nature, simply a way to get the upper hand on his rival—is rather immaterial. The message he's spreading is that Barcelona is part of some exalted, privileged, blue-blooded elite and that the club receives undue protection from a nebulous cabal that includes referees, UEFA and the media.
After last week's Champions League quarterfinals produced semifinals of Barcelona vs. Chelsea and Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid, Mourinho said: "If I'm honest, it could be Barcelona against Bayern in the final, but I don't think it will be Real Madrid against Chelsea. That's all I'm going to say. And you know why..."
A few minutes later, when he was pressed on the matter, Mourinho said he was certain Barcelona would play the final in Munich. Why?
"Well, because they're very good," he said with evident sarcasm.
As if that message wasn't crystal clear enough, Mourinho's official spokesman emphasized the point on Twitter. Eladio Parames—whose Twitter avatar is a pit bull—tweeted the names of referees who had given more or less controversial decisions that ended up favoring Barcelona over the years. He added later: "There are those who reach five semifinals in five years thanks to [Anders] Frisk and his successors," he said, referring to one of the accused referees. "And there are those who have reached six semifinals in eight years with four different clubs through lots of hard work."
The thing about Mourinho and Parames is that it's unclear just how much traction their words have in the realm of public opinion. They resonate with some fans of teams like Chelsea and Arsenal, which were knocked out by Barcelona in controversial circumstances.
Chelsea fans cite a semifinal in which the referee, Tom Henning Ovrebo, did not award what appeared to be at least two fairly obvious penalties to their club. Arsenal supporters point to referee Massimo Busacca, who showed striker Robin van Persie a second yellow card for time-wasting when he shot on goal after the referee had whistled play dead. Busacca technically made the right decision, but it's certainly unusual for an official to send a player off in those circumstances, as van Persie claimed he did not hear the whistle because of the noise from the crowd.
Generally speaking, though, most neutrals don't seem to buy the vast conspiracy that some Barcelona critics are peddling. Even fans of AC Milan, which saw defender Alessandro Nesta concede a penalty kick against Barcelona on Tuesday for another correct if somewhat unorthodox interpretation of the rules, seemed somewhat lukewarm in their protests. "Barcelona with merit but also with a bit of help," was the headline in Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport. In the two Champions League legs, Barcelona took 32 shots on goal to Milan's six.
The fact of the matter is that Barcelona isn't just very good, but also eminently pleasant, so the mud doesn't tend to stick.
Plus, it's not difficult to poke holes in the revisionist theories of Barcelona's success. In that Chelsea semifinal back in 2009, for example, then-Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink said the referee's performance was "the worst he'd ever seen." But Barcelona's Eric Abidal was red-carded in equally dubious circumstances. Hiddink may have been right, but perhaps it was just a case of an official having a lousy night. If you're part of a global conspiracy, then handicapping the team you're supposed to help is generally not a good strategy.
Those who believe in realpolitik argue that Mourinho is simply trying to get some kind of a psychological edge for his next encounters with Barcelona. The two teams meet April 22 in La Liga and possibly May 17 in the Champions League final.
It's either that, or he's getting his excuses in early. This Barcelona team, after all, has been immune not just to most opponents but also to any kind of media backlash. Turning public opinion against Guardiola's choirboys seems nearly as impossible as beating them.

Dry-Bulk Shipping Recovery Seen Begun by DNB Markets on Ore
Rates to ship dry-bulk raw materials by sea are recovering after a four-year slump as Chinese demand for iron ore surged to the highest level since 2009, according to DNB Markets.
Average daily earnings for Capesizes, the largest ships hauling the commodity used to make steel, will more than double to $16,000 in 2013 from $6,705 so far this year, Nicolay Dyvik, an Oslo-based analyst at DNB, said in an e-mail today. Chinese demand for iron ore rose 41 percent in October from the previous month to 95 billion ton-miles, the highest since August 2009, the investment-banking unit of Norway's largest bank estimated.
Capesize earnings more than doubled this month to $16,934 a day, according to the Baltic Exchange, the London-based publisher of shipping costs. Rates are still 93 percent below their 2008 peak of about $234,000 after owners ordered too many ships before the recession. After years of unprofitability, slower sailing speeds are restraining fleet growth as China increases imports from Australia and Brazil, according to DNB.
"Dry-bulk market recovery has begun," Dyvik said in a report e-mailed today. "Large expansion of low-cost iron-ore and coal exports make us positive on the dry-bulk segment."
Estimates Lowered
The recovery was delayed as returns trailed expectations this year, and other analysts have said it has yet to arrive. Analysts cut forecasts seven times from $15,000 a day at the start of the year, according to the averages of 10 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. The market consensus is that recent increases were driven by stockpiling, rather than a fundamental recovery, London-based shipbroker Galbraith's Ltd. said in an Oct. 19 report.
The dry-bulk fleet swelled 53 percent since the end of 2008 to a record 581 million deadweight tons, according to data from IHS Inc., an Englewood, Colorado-based research company. Global cargo demand will advance 5 percent this year and 4 percent in 2013, according to Clarkson Plc, the world's largest shipbroker.
Capesizes account for about 40 percent of the fleet's capacity, according to figures from Clarkson Plc, the world's biggest shipbroker. They're also the largest vessels tracked by the Baltic Dry Index, a broader measure of commodity shipping costs, which slipped 0.1 percent to 1,048 today, according to the exchange. It's down 40 percent this year.
Vessel Speeds
Owners can save on fuel, their biggest expense, and reduce the fleet's effective capacity by slowing down ships. Capesizes sailed at an average speed of 9.13 knots last month, compared with 11.1 knots three years ago, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
Iron ore is the largest commodity traded at sea after crude oil, and China is the biggest importer. Brazil increased its share of shipments to China to 28 percent in October from 24 percent the month before, DNB estimates. Australia's share grew by 1 percentage point to 59 percent. Cargoes from other sources shrank to 13 percent from 19 percent, Dyvik said in the report.
Ton-mile demand is determined by multiplying the size of a cargo and the distance traveled for delivery.
Daily hire costs fell for the three classes of smaller vessels in the index, according to the exchange. Panamaxes, the largest ships to navigate the Panama Canal, dropped 0.6 percent to $6,386 as Supramaxes that are about 25 percent smaller slid 0.7 percent to $7,250. Handysizes, the smallest vessels in the index, retreated 0.6 percent to $6,361.

M. Spencer Green, Associated Press
This week, fans of college football learned just how greedy the BCS blue bloods are over their lucrative sandbox.
Give BCS money to the little guys?
See TCU in the Rose Bowl?
It irks these guys. Grates on them like fingernails on a chalkboard. No holiday cheer at all.
Public pressure and threat of anti-trust action led to the Rose Bowl tweaking its longtime pact to take the Pac-10 and Big Ten champs. Thus, here comes TCU to Pasadena instead of Pac-10 runner-up Stanford.
This week, we learned just how ticked off the elite are over sharing the pirate loot. Commissioners of the so-called big conferences issued a stern warning to the non-BCS leagues: Enough is enough, during a dialogue panel discussion.
At the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in New York City, commissioners of the Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC, Big 12 let it out, they're sick of sharing what they believe is their entitlement and are weary of being put in a defensive posture before Congress and the media.
The discussions were extremely revealing.
"Don't push it past this because if you push it past this, the Big 12's position is we'll just go back to the old (bowl) system," Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe told journalist Brett McMurphy of Fanhouse.com. "You're getting the ability to get to places you've never gotten before. We've jerry-rigged the free market system to the benefit of those institutions and a lot are institutions that don't even fill their stadiums."
And this from Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott:
"The six (BCS) conferences have bent over backward and tried to be politically correct to their own detriment, probably further than they had to, maybe should have."
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, who created the BCS, was especially loud, and kept to his bully reputation. According to reports, on numerous times, Delany interrupted WAC commissioner Karl Benson with condescension.
Benson admitted, "The BCS has provided greater access. Look at 120 schools, 11 conferences and to establish opportunities for those student-athletes. To play on the big stage, we've been to the big stage. ...
"The problem," Delany interrupted, "is your big stage takes away opportunities for my teams, to play on the stage they created in 1902."
In other words, Delany's teams created college football. Is that what we are hearing? Somebody tell Delany TCU won two national titles before Ohio State had one.
More Delany whining.
"We gave up the Rose Bowl, the SEC gave up access to the Sugar Bowl, others were included but they never had access to any of this before. You have to understand who brought what to the table. Who's continuing to give and who's continuing to get."
Benson, responding with Utah, Boise State and TCU going 4-1 in BCS bowls (the only loss by TCU was to Boise State), said: "I think the group of five (non-automatic qualifying BCS conferences) has established value in the last five years."
Then the comeback by Delany:
"The notion that over time by putting political pressure on, it's just going to get greater access, more financial reward and more access to the Rose Bowl, I think you're really testing. I think people who have contributed a lot have, what I call, 'BCS defense fatigue.'
"If you think you can continue to push for more money, more access to the Rose Bowl, or Sugar Bowl. I have tremendous respect for Boise and TCU. ... I think they are tremendous teams that can beat any team in the country on a given day. I think the only question is, 'Does one team's 12-0 and another team's 12-0 equate?' And that's where the discussion plays out, not whether or not they're elite teams or deserving access to the bowl system."

Join Couchsurfing to see Mohammed's full profile. It's free!
About Me
Arab-American, early 20s, based in Libya since 2009. My father is Libyan but I knew nothing about the country before relocating, which I see as a good thing as it's given me the opportunity to learn about the country from an unbiased perspective.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm currently unable to host but I'd be very happy to share my knowledge with you. I know Benghazi quite well and might be able to show you around depending on my schedule. If you're looking for information on Benghazi, other places, or just Libya in general send me a PM and I'll try to help you out.
So far I've met a couple of CSers in Tripoli, Libya. They were both very nice guys. I ended up having to crash with one of them when it was very late and I couldn't get a ride home, he was very cool about it.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like to read. My favorite book is The Gulag Archipelago. I don't mind reading fiction every now and then but I prefer nonfiction.
I mainly like oldschool rock, blues, and jazz. I also like a lot of video game music. I generally don't like most modern music. I despise rap.
I don't really enjoy TV or movies very much.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Seeing people crying over dead relatives at a hospital in Benghazi in the earliest days of the Libyan uprising.
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy listening to and learning from other people.

Can't wait to see Jungler
still wondering if I should get this :P
Thanks for the video dudes.
Just felt i should keep this going.
Get me some jungler yo
It can't be...
Wait ...
Jeff, I will top score battle Jungler with you. Crazy that XBLA is going so niche. I figure people into these games just have maim machines.
It's a Quick Look BONANZA and everyone's invited!
So that's jungler. I'm less excited than I expected to be.
I have met Joe Decuir. He's a pretty awesome dude.
God I haven't played Astrosmash in 25 years! And I can live without playing Astrosmash for another 25 years.
I love Shao-Lin's Road.
I'm a little surprised that Jeff doesn't play in Cabinet mode. I LOVE that they even include some screen glare!
While I haven't bought any of the games. It's kind of cool for it's novelty factor.
And a reminder of just how far games have come since the 1980s.
I know Jeff said he thinks the new releases are on Thursday, but does anyone know for absolutely certain? You know, so I could get something on the first day and get the mascot...ugh
I see "Adventure" in the Atari room. That was the first home video game I ever played. Brings back good times...
Are any of these games even worth getting? I'd rather save my points for when XBLA games go on sale for about the same price
Am i the only one who thinks that this is even worse than home? (Yes i do realize that game room basically has nothing in common with home except the fact that both are very boring).
Retro for me was the Master System but now I can experience all the 70's and 80's have had to offer!
No St. John's River in Finalizer!? Man, forget this game.
So i entered gaming during the N64 era, because i was born in 91 and my family was broke haha. Which of the games in the game room are must plays?
Lol, "Jeff goes straight to the jungler."
Oh come on, Jeff. Astrosmash is a GREAT game. Games take too long to ramp up difficulty, maybe, but if you didn't find it any fun near 100,000 points, when the game gets both intense and freakin' insane, then I cannot stress how sorry I feel for you.
Yeah, I'm an obviously biased party, but geez. That's a heck of a slap in the face for Intellivision fans.
Jeff needs to do a Game Room endurance run. Play a bunch of game room games once a week.
Game room would have been cooler if you can deck out your room with the XBLA games YOU previously bought.
On most games you can zoom in on the cabinet and watch the game through cabinet view. Hit start then change the graphical options from "Arcade" to "Cabinet" and it makes some games like Red Baron significantly better.
Filters cant be messed with as much though.
JUNGLER rules
Invisible tank pong GO!
This really needs to be subscription or something.
I want a durger
I just bought Jungler, Super Cobra, Crystal Castles, and Tutankham.
"Like my all-Jungler room."
Needs more ZX Spectrum . I can dream right?
Shaolin's Road and Finalizer are both excellent old school games, infact most of the Konami stuff is worth getting.
Yesssss!!!! JUNGLERRRR, I can't wait!!! :D
Seems pretty neat, love the classic sounds.
All Jungler, all the time.
a m a z i n g - now give me a time machine and make me 8 years old again too, Krome Studios :)
So happy this happened, I NEED to get a card and buy some classic games!!!
The way you make this work is by making all the games free and putting advertisements around the room and next to the games themselves. I'm not paying 90 bucks for games that are 2 decades old. it's not like you can't emulate these games on even the most basic of hardware.
This is a clear case of NosCon.
First thing I did was play a game of Jungler, and then I turned it off, probably FOREVER
Those games are a bit too old school for me. I hope they eventually get to some 90's stuff like Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA.

Painful Defecation in Dogs: Causes and Treatment
In this article
What's Causing Your Dog's Pain?
Common causes of painful defecation in dogs include:
Many things can lead to diarrhea in dogs, including inflammatory bowel disease, medications, allergies, food poisoning, parasites, a change in diet, and gastrointestinal infections.
Symptoms of diarrhea are pretty easy to spot: loose, liquid, or frequent stools. As with so many conditions, treatment depends on the cause of the diarrhea and may include dietary changes, fluid therapy to prevent dehydration, and occasionally antibiotics if an infection is identified.
Get your dog vet care right away if he has more than one episode of diarrhea, is lethargic, has a fever, blood in the stool, or black, tarry stool.
Like diarrhea, constipation in dogs can be caused by a wide range of things, including certain drugs, intestinal obstruction, enlarged prostate or lymph nodes, dehydration, tumors, and neuromuscular problems.
Signs of constipation include: straining to defecate; firm, dry or ribbon-like feces; depression; lethargy; vomiting; loss of appetite; and stomach pain. Treating constipation depends on its cause, though for mild constipation a high-fiber diet, plenty of water, and laxatives as prescribed by your vet may be all the treatment needed.
If the constipation is serious, manual removal of impacted feces under general anesthesia may be necessary.
Foreign Object
Some dogs have a habit of eating inedible objects like pebbles, bones, or used food wrappers, for example. If your dog does this, it could be the source of your canine companion's painful defecation.
Treatment will depend on the object ingested, the dog's symptoms, and a physical exam, so always consult your vet if your dog has swallowed something inedible.
Consider it an emergency if your dog has swallowed string or something with string attached. If the item lodges in one spot, the string can act like a saw, perforating the intestine and leading to life-threatening peritonitis -- inflammation of the abdominal lining.
Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis
Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is distinguished by a sudden onset of bloody vomit and diarrhea in a previously healthy dog. The feces can often look like strawberry jam. Take your dog to the vet immediately if he shows these symptoms as untreated hemorrhagic gastroenteritis can be fatal.

Brach's is introducing a new confection called, "Jelly Bean Nougats".
Apparently it's very similar to their "Jelly Nougats", using the same soft creamy nougat, but with fruity-flavored jelly beans thrown into the mix. They're sliced up into these pieces and individually wrapped.

I have a site that's using custom taxonomies. There's a custom title tags in the header for each taxonomy, and I'm CERTAIN they used to work (haven't looked at it for a while). However, I just looked in the source and the calls for title and description are no longer working.
The title tags in the header (for each taxonomy) are using

Becoming a member is free. Training is £15.50 a session for registered members. The first three sessions are always free. We ask that everyone wishing to become a member comes to at least one of the free sessions and speaks with our coaching staff first.
Our expert coaches can train people to excel in all three disciplines of the triathlon: running, swimming and cycling. We aim for a balance between fitness and technique and push our members to always give their very best when training and competing.
Have you never done any or all of the three triathlon disciplines before? Or maybe you have but have never competed in a triathlon. No matter. We allow trainees of all levels to become members. If you're willing to come along and work hard, we'll be patient and work with you to get you to the level you need to be at.
If you want to find out more about us, you can get in touch with us through this website. Or just come along to one of our training sessions and speak to one of the coaches before joining in.
We are committed to giving young people the same opportunity as adults to be a part of our club and benefit from our friendly and enjoyable training environment. Boys and girls aged fourteen years and over can become members and train with us. Those below the age of sixteen will need a parental consent form. We adapt our training to suit young people of all fitness levels and abilities. Two Welsh Triathlon training sessions will be provided each week. All of our coaches are trained and licensed professionals who have undergone DBS checks. Training schedules may vary during the winter season depending on climate conditions. Junior members can train with us for as little as £10.50 per-session.
Our swimming sessions take place on Friday evenings at Pyle Swimming Pool at the Halo Leisure Centre. Training is between 19:00 to 20:00. We recommend that members arrive by 18:45 to give themselves time to sign-in and get changed. Our triathlon swimming training is a fully structured approach that combines fitness and technique. We aim to increase our member's swimming fitness using progressive training drills over a six week period. Development of our member's stroke techniques will cover the vital elements such as body and head position, the catch, the body roll, timing, recovery, underwater pathways, propulsive lift and breathing patterns. We aim to give our members all the knowledge and technical proficiency they will require to compete in an event.
We do running training on Monday evenings at 19:00 and Wednesday evenings at 19:30, to give our members a choice of evening. Some of our more advanced members run on both nights. In warm weather we use the dirt trail outside the Halo Leisure Centre, and during cold weather we use the circuit course in the large gymnasium inside the building. All of our running coaches are qualified personal trainers and our training consists of three types of running: the long run, the transition run and the fartlek/speed run. The long runs build stamina and durability and help one to retain good form even when fatigued. The transition runs are necessary to get one's body used to the transition from biking to running. The fartlek/speed run is a form of high intensity training that supplements the rest of the training.
We are sponsored by Discover Learning, a UK fitness industry training provider. Any of our members who are interested in a career in health and fitness receive a 10% discount on Discovery Personal Training Diplomas.
"We are proud to be affiliated with the Vachery Triathalon Club. As a company that works with many non-profit fitness clubs that aim to improve the fitness of children in their local communities, we applaud Vechery's policy of accepting runners of any age and skill level, including children." – Alan Jackson, Discovery Learning CEO.

Ten Things You Didn't Know About Miranda Kerr (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
We all know Miranda Kerr is famous for her Victoria's Secret angel wings, but how well do we really know her?
Sure, we all know that supermodel Miranda Kerr is a gorgeous, lucky mom who calls one of Hollywood's hunkiest heartthrobs her own. We also know that Miranda and hubby Orlando Bloom are parents to adorable baby Flynn, but did you know that she named her son after an ex-boyfriend? Or, that Miranda is also a successful businesswoman in her native Australia?
She's got it all looks, an enviable figure and a red-hot modeling career but there are other little known facts some of us don't know about this Sydney-born beauty. Check out our gallery as well as our list of ten things you didn't know about Miranda.
Photos: PCN
1 of 10Miranda was born in Sydney, Australia, but was raised in the small town of Gunnedah, New South Wales.
2 of 10There were Internet rumors that Miranda has Filipino roots, which she has denied. Instead, she says she is of English, French, and Scottish descent.
3 of 10Miranda attended an all-girl Catholic high school when her parents moved to Brisbane.
4 of 10Miranda originally studied Nutrition and Health Psychology before pursuing a modeling career.
5 of 10Miranda's first major campaign in the United States was for Maybelline in 2006.
6 of 10Her son Flynn's middle name Christopher is named after Miranda's ex-boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook who died in a car accident in 1998 when the two were dating at that time.
7 of 10Miranda practices Nichiren Buddhism, which is based on the teachings of a 13th century Japanese monk and focuses on the Lotus Sutra and a belief that all people have an innate Buddha nature.
8 of 10Miranda has her own organic skin care line called KORA Organics, which is based in Sydney.
9 of 10Miranda's favorite nightclub in New York City is Beatrice (although with a six-month-old baby, we doubt she has the time to go out these days!)
10 of 10Miranda appeared in Pharrell William's music video "Number One," which also featured Kanye West.
Miranda Kerr is also a staunch advocate by example for Breastfeeding in Public!

I am travelling from US to India, with an Indian passport but expired F1 visa and going there to get my H1B visa stamping. I have a stop at Zurich for 2 hours while flying to India. Do I need a transit visa for my trip?
If you stay within the international transit zone, then you don't need a transit visa:
In case of those transiting Switzerland without leaving the airport international transfer zone, here are the countries that do require for its citizens to have airport transit visas: https://www.bfm.admin.ch/dam/data/bfm/rechtsgrundlagen/weisungen/visa/vhb/vhb1-anh07a-d.pdf
This list is from Switzerland's FDFA -- the website of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration (enclosure no. 7A of the visa handbook 1).
Indian citizens DO NOT need a transit visa to pass through Switzerland if they do not leave the airport international transfer zone.

file: phpthumb-latest.tar.gz
version: 3.0.066
released: Oct 26th, 2009
uses: PHP 5+, GD, iMagick
PHP + GD + ImageMagick + You = Easy Image Manipulation
introducing PHP Thumb. grow beautiful apps.
Welcome to the new home of my PHP image manipulation library, now called "PHP Thumb". It's been a long time coming, but the third major release is complete, and I'm really excited about it. If you're a new user of this library, I hope you find it useful. If you're a returning user, I'm sure you'll be excited with all the changes that have been made.
PHP Thumb is a light-weight image manipulation library aimed at thumbnail generation. It features the ability to resize by width, height, and percentage, create custom crops, or square crops from the center, and rotate the image. You can also easily add custom functionality to the library through plugins. It also features the ability to perform multiple manipulations per instance (also known as chaining), without the need to save and re-initialize the class with every manipulation.
You don't really need much to get started, just PHP 5 and GD 2.0+ In the past there was also a PHP 4 version of the class, but I've decided not to support PHP 4 anymore for many reasons.
Ready to get started? Well then, download the latest release! Make sure you also check out these useful links:
I've mostly been doing bug fixes and augmenting current functionality based on user suggestions in the forums, but the big news is that I've moved the project to GitHub. Check it (and my other stuff if you're bored) out at: http://github.com/masterexploder/PHPThumb.
I've done this because it will not only cut down on the amount of spam that I got in the old Trac-based ticketing system, but it will be easier for other people to contribute to the library. That being said, if you want to contribute, get busy and fork the project!
Don't have time to read the docs? Want to see how easy it is to get started with the PHP Thumb library? Right, check this out:
<?php require_once '/path/to/ThumbLib.inc.php'; $thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create('test.jpg'); $thumb->resize(100, 100); $thumb->show(); ?>
But, it gets even cleaner… let's change the above code to save, and we'll also use function chaining:
<?php require_once '/path/to/ThumbLib.inc.php'; $thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create('test.jpg'); $thumb->resize(100, 100)->save('/path/to/new_thumb.jpg'); ?>
Of course, it's highly recommended that you read the docs as there's a lot more to the library (and some important gotchas)… but, it's really that easy!
Plugins are one of the best new features of the library. It's always been my goal to keep this thing as light-weight as possible, but there are a lot of features out there that people would like to see. Well, plugins solve that problem. Now, you can either add official plugins to the library, or develop your own to add the features and functionality you're looking for… without having to hack up the actual core code!
I haven't really figured out how I want to deal with user-contributed plugins just yet, so for now, if you've got a plugin you'd like to have considered for inclusion in the distributed package, get in touch with me either via a ticket or in the forums. Eventually, I hope to have a plugins directory of sorts, but for now you can also always post your plugins in the forums.
Documentation for included plugins can be found on the docs site, as well as the documentation for actual plugin development. You can also take a look at the included plugins to get you started as well. As this is a brand-spanking new feature, it's quite likely that there will be several changes based on YOUR feedback. If you've got any feedback whatsoever, please don't hesitate to share it… seriously. If you think the plugin architecture sucks, I want to know about it, and why (I don't mind constructive criticism, but don't expect me to dignify unqualified complaints).
Check back here from time to time for updates as things develop and progress.
I've tried to vastly improve the documentation, as well as the community as well. Rather than trolling through hundreds of comments, we've now got a forum, and I've also migrated to using GitHub ticketing.
Anyway, here's a list of important links for docs and help:
A couple of notes. Please don't abuse the bug tracking system. If you can't figure something out, that's not a bug… ask questions in the forums. I don't have a lot of time, but I'm glad to help anyone out as best I can… however, any improperly filed bugs will be closed. Also, try not to submit anonymous bugs… I'm less likely to solve problems if I can't communicate with the person who reported the issue in the first place!
Other than that, feel free to use any of the resources above to get in touch with me and get help… I'm always happy to help when I can, and so is the community

Welcome back to another Top of the Pile! At the end of each month, the staff of Comic Vine picks their favorite issues for that month. We saw a lot of great issues in February, as well as the conclusions to some major stories. What did the staff have to say about all of this? Read on to find out.
Sara is on vacation this week, so here's what the rest of the team thinks.
Tony "GMan" Guerrero
We see all sorts of comics. I'm so thankful comics like this exist. Matt Fraction is killing it (I had to resist adding HAWKEYE #8 to this list as well). With the cast chosen to replace the Fantastic Four combined with Fraction's humor and Mike Allred's amazing art, this comic is crammed with fun and excitement. Seeing the Moloid kids turn their attention to The Jen is hilarious. We also see Jen reunite with her former flame, Wyatt Wingfoot (something long time readers will cheer) as well as Scott Lang's (serious) declaration that they need to "end" Doom.
I won't get into the argument against those that claim "nothing happened." This issue's conclusion was on a psychological level. The events leading up to the platter reveal had me on the edge of my seat. Seeing the entire family with bloody bandages made you wonder just what Joker was capable of. Their final scene showed Batman clearly knew how Joker's mind worked as he pushed him over the edge with just his words.
What could have easily been just another book in a growing "Justice League franchise," Geoff Johns shows us he has something more up his sleeve. We've wondered why the heck certain characters were selected for this team and the explanation is just the twist needed to make this book the flip side to JUSTICE LEAGUE. We'll have to wait and see where exactly Johns takes this title and when the inevitable clashes begin. With David Finch on board, it looks like it's going to be a great ride.
Once again I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying a Star Wars comic set in between Episodes IV and V. You would think the story and characters would be limited in the direction they could go because of this. Brian Wood carefully weaves a new story for the characters and you can see he really knows and cares about them. The idea of seeing some of the fallout over events from Episode IV is something I can't wait to see more of.
Brian Michael Bendis and David Mack have given us something we don't see too often in comics anymore, a great mystery. Set in a real crappy near-future version of the Marvel Universe, we get glimpses of many familiar characters as Ben Urich tries to uncover the truth behind Daredevil's last day. The cameos are great and painful at the same time as we see what's become of the characters. I have no idea what the next few issues hold but I'm so excited to find out.
Mat "Inferiorego" Elfring
I just wanted to say, very quickly, that although this feature has only been around since November of last year, this was the toughest month yet. There were so many great books this month. I'm going to break my own rules and give some honorable mentions below my picks.
The Throne of Atlantis story line is over, and with it comes a new king of Atlantis! With the first story line over, Aquaman takes a step away from the rest of the DCU and into the seas. He truly feels on his own here and that he owns his book. This was a pretty sad issue as Aquaman reconnects with the ocean and becomes its savior once again.
However, now that he's the king of Atlantis, there's a lot of new responsibilities and there seems to be some old villains coming back. This isn't just one of my favorite books of the month. It's one of my favorite issues of this series.
I picked this up on a whim only because Steve McNiven was drawing it, and I was extremely pleased with it. The issue was a ton of fun, and even though I've never really read a Guardians of the Galaxy book in my life, I felt this issue was incredibly new reader friendly. The art work is beautiful and I was really enjoying this story and where it is going. And although I've never been the biggest fan of the Marvel cosmic books, this one is officially on my pull list.
This one of those books I want to call my "guilty pleasure," but I never feel guilty about reading it. In this issue, the Phantom Stranger and the Spectre square off because Spectre blames Phantom Stranger for his "condition." While I found some of the dialogue to be a bit cheesy and even some of the action as well, I loved this issue. It's just a ton of fun. This issue and book slowly builds to the upcoming Trinity War, which looks like it could be the first big crossover event. This book is on my top of the pile every month, but this is the first time I've put it on my list.
Writer Joshua Dysart is doing a wonderful job on this book. We get a little break from the madness in this series to see where Toyo Harada came from. It's a compelling story and it will give a bit more understanding about why the character is the way he is. The art here is beautiful and extremely detailed. Overall, it was my favorite issue of the series so far.
This series has sucked me in, and it won't let go. The latest issue of CLONE is action packed and has a few big twists and turns. Juan Jose Ryp's art is insane here. He gets so much detail into each panel. Writer David Schulner has created a book that is a great mixture of science fiction and politics. We get two very solid stories coming to a head. This is a book you need to start reading. It's the perfect non-cape book.
Honorable Mentions: SAGA #10, X-O MANOWAR #10, ULTIMATE COMICS X-MEN #22, BATMAN #17, AVENGING SPIDER-MAN #17 and JUDGE DREDD #4. Yeah... That's how many books I loved this month.
Gregg Katzman
This issue left me speechless when I finished my first read through. I've said it a thousand times before and I'll say it a million times more, Joshua Dysart is doing a phenomenal job crafting interesting and compelling characters. Toyo Harda's origin story is beyond moving and the artwork for the scenes in the past are disturbingly detailed. This is one of the most powerful issues I've read in a long, long time and I demand you read it!
DAMIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Grant Morrison gives the little hero a proper sendoff and my favorite Robin goes down like a true champ. I won't lie, my eyes got a little watery reading this one. Burnham nails it with the pencils. The fight is visceral and there's some exceptionally unique panel layouts. It's tough to let it sink in that he's really gone (for now...), but I'm thrilled to see how this will be handled in the months to come. There's some serious potential for great follow-up stories to this... I just hope everyone can deliver on it.
Tom Taylor needs to write "The Adventures of Harley Quinn and Green Arrow" asap. This series has been so bleak and shocking, yet this issue was nothing but sunshine and laughter (okay, maybe there wasn't a lot of sunshine). This one's sure to warm anyone's heart and deliver a steady stream of laughs. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sudden increase in demand for fake mustaches, either.
Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino have saved the Emerald Archer -- well, the book, not Ollie. In fact, Ollie is really put through the wringer in this one. Regardless, it was a massively huge leap in quality for the book and an exceptional start to what will hopefully be an awesome tale. Bring on the next issue!
Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are killing me. They've done such a great job with the father/son dynamic and I have full faith the next set of issues will be an emotional hurricane. That said, I read this one totally aware that Damian's demise was near and that made this such a gut-wrenching experience. This issue did a brilliant job addressing the aftermath of 'The Death of the Family' and had some really trippy and creative moments thrown into the mix. That ending just yanked at my heartstrings, too.
Well, that's it for this month! Thanks for reading, friends! Make sure to come back at the end of this month to see what we loved about March! What was your Top of the Pile for this month? Agreements? Disagreements? Yellings?

Flow of Saudis' Cash to Hamas Is Scrutinized
By DON VAN NATTA Jr. with TIMOTHY L. O'BRIEN
Published: September 17, 2003
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 16— Nearly a year ago, Khalid Mishaal, a senior leader of Hamas, the militant Palestinian organization, attended a charitable fund-raising conference here where he talked at length with Crown Prince Abdullah, the de facto Saudi ruler.
According to a summary of the meeting written by a Hamas official, Mr. Mishaal and other Hamas representatives thanked their Saudi hosts for continuing ''to send aid to the people through the civilian and popular channels, despite all the American pressures exerted on them.''
''This is indeed a brave posture deserving appreciation,'' the Hamas officials said, the document said.
Today Mr. Mishaal, who was recently added to the United States Treasury Department list of what it calls terrorist financiers, controls a wing of Hamas that advocates violent confrontation with Israel, including suicide bombings.
As relations between the Israelis and Palestinians continue to deteriorate, in no small part because of recent Hamas-sponsored suicide bombings, Saudis have come under fresh scrutiny by American and European investigators here and in Israel for their political and financial support of the group.
At least 50 percent of Hamas's current operating budget of about $10 million a year comes from people in Saudi Arabia, according to estimates by American law enforcement officials, American diplomats in the Middle East and Israeli officials. After the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the Saudi portion of Hamas financing grew larger as donations from the United States, Europe and other Persian Gulf countries dried up, American officials and analysts said.
The estimated donations coming from Saudi Arabia -- about $5 million a year -- are a significant sum for Hamas but a very small portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars that flow into Saudi charities each year, officials said. Nearly all the donations are given in cash, making it extremely difficult for Saudi and American authorities to track the money.
''It's a ridiculous accusation; no Saudi government money goes to Hamas, directly or indirectly,'' said Adel al-Jubeir, the foreign affairs adviser to Prince Abdullah. ''Why on earth would we not stop this kind of funding? Why on earth would our crown prince say we do not want to support Hamas and then allow people to do this under the table?''
Saudi officials say their government's support for Palestinian causes goes solely to the Palestinian Authority, about $80 million to $100 million a year.
Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, has denied that his government has financially supported Hamas or charities that serve as front organizations for Hamas. Prince Saud has said the government aids the Palestinian Authority because it is ''the sole representative of the Palestinian people.''
The American Treasury secretary, John Snow, who is to arrive here on Wednesday on a trip through the Middle East and Central Asia to address the financing of terrorism and economic development, said a major theme was to press Palestinian and Saudi authorities to crack down on Hamas by choking off its funds.
During two days of meetings in Israel, which ended today, Mr. Snow conveyed a message of caution from the White House to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, urging him not to carry through with the threatened ''removal'' of Yasir Arafat and to halt construction of a barrier around Palestinian territory. But Mr. Snow aimed his strongest criticism at Hamas.
''The terror has to be stopped because the terror lies at the very heart of the region's troubles,'' Mr. Snow told Palestinian political and business leaders. ''Hamas is clearly identified with terror. You have to go after it.''
He said the White House was also asking Syria to crack down on Hamas. Mr. Mishaal and other senior Hamas leaders are based in Syria.
The document that outlined Mr. Mishaal's visit with the Saudis, in October 2002, was seized by the Israeli military during a raid in Gaza last December, and a copy was recently given to The New York Times by a former Israeli official. The summary is written in Arabic on paper with a Hamas letterhead and was translated into English by the Israeli military.
Four senior American law enforcement and diplomatic officials who reviewed the document did not dispute its authenticity, but declined to discuss its contents.
A Saudi official who was provided the document in Arabic and in English said it did not prove the Saudi government had contributed to Hamas, and he strongly criticized its contents as conveying a distorted view of the events.
''This document is trash,'' the official said. ''If the purpose of the document is to prove Saudi funding for Hamas, it fails miserably. There is nothing in it except the views and perceptions of Hamas members who attended this conference. The Israelis have made a big fuss about this document, and there is no there there.''
Several Saudi officials acknowledged that wealthy Saudi citizens have made sizable cash donations to Hamas. But they said the government is working to curb such contributions.

Hello leahkoerper,
I can't put the tribe events bar with other content in the homepage.
I now the plugin does not have shortcodes, that is a problem.
I tried to apply the code of the tribe bar directly in the page but doesn't work. I also tried to select the /events as frontpage in wordpress, doesn't worked too.
You said to me in other post that it is not currently possible to add the Tribe Bar to any other page, only to the /events page itself.
We need shortcodes :)
Best regards.

From anime to pitch-black thrillers, here's our pick of the underappreciated movies of 1987...
Sometimes, the challenge with these lists isn't just what to put in, but what to leave out. We loved Princess Bride, but with a decent showing at the box office and a huge cult following, isn't it a bit too popular to be described as underappreciated? Likewise Joe Dante's Innerspace, a fabulously geeky, comic reworking of the 60s sci-fi flick, Fantastic Voyage.
What we've gone for instead is a mix of genre fare, dramas and animated films that may have garnered a cult following since, but didn't do well either critically or financially at the time of release. Some of the movies on our list just about made their money back, but none made anything close to the sort of returns enjoyed by the likes of 1987's biggest films - Three Men And A Baby, Fatal Attraction »
