Okay, so I recognize this is a big one. But I'm making this suggestion because this is one of my favorite plugins ever, because I think it offers to turn wordpress into an epic all-purpose INSTA-CMS. Here's where I'm at:
I find myself wondering whether your plugin would ever integrate with search. Currently, if I'm looking at a search archive and try to "narrow" by a taxonomy-item, it drops my search terms and just shows the taxonomy-based archive. But I know that WordPress can combine taxonomy-filtration and search-filtration: http://signsofsafetyusa.com/?s=sitting&category_name=reflections&tag=honesty
Since wordpress already has the machinery built in to integrate taxonomy and search in a query, I'm suggesting that this plugin also integrate search and taxonomy.
Here are the ways : (in order from most to least important)
1. Just like the plugin currently recognizes when there are cats and tags in the URL, it would recognize when there are search terms (
s=my+search+terms) in the URL, and preserve them upon the addition of a taxonomy term just like it preserves the cats and tags.
2. On the widget options, offer a "search (filtered)" checkbox. This would create a search bar at the top of the widget, that appended any entered search terms into the url/href, either after existing terms, or by appending/splicing the whole search expression (
s=my+search+terms&) right after the
3. Right under the 'add search term' box, create a list of already-searched terms, which, just like the list of taxonomy items, can be removed by clicking on them. This way, search terms could be added and removed fluidly just like taxonomic terms, creating the ULTIMATE CONTENT FILTRATION SYSTEM OF DOOM AND DESTINY. Ahem.
I recognize that what I'm suggesting would be a TON of work.
Let me know the realism/feasibility of the feature requests I'm making. If working on this would require some donation-juice, let me know and I'll poke around W.org to look for donors on some kind of kickstarter-flavored effort.

Married Men With Men

#1 Jul 20, 2012
I was wondering if anyone really knows the number of married men in Ilion that play with men. You would be astonished to the number ...
My answer is women beware of "buddies" Hanging out and NOT cominng home....it's not just a late night buddy thing, it's a having sex with their buddies
This causes a risk to the health of wives, families....and to the destruction of families.
Most of the wives would never believe that their husband is closeted, or bisexual, and would deny it to the end,,,,,,,,,but!!! Be cautiious, often it's the basher's, "toughies", or arrogant "big men", or your average husband.
Between myself and another, we have counted at least 275 just in the village of Ilion. This does NOT MEAN I HAD SEX WITH 275 OF THE LOCALS!!!
Proof is in the pudding, text messages, cell calls, and motel records......or the gay man they have playd with!
Married? Annual physical?, have a test for HIV, your husband may not only be killing you with kindness!
#2 Jul 20, 2012
Spill the beans. Show us a list. Fudge pack photos.
Anything. I think you're full of BS, or maybe fantasizing. Pillow Biter.
#3 Jul 21, 2012
Not full of BS, neither are they, they"douche" first as it's called.Fantasy, OMG, you think I would fastasize about these men? Get real, All gay men know, married men lift their legs faster that a date on prom night. I don't need to spill the beans, I just enjoy the fu**, like every other gay man, truth is, gays are bashed, and these "married men" are the toys of the gay community.
Jokes on you,esp if you are married,guess where your husband's penis was b4 in was in you....hugz baby.
#4 Jul 21, 2012
YOU ARROGANT POS.....Please enjoy your HIV and AIDS
Since: Jun 12
Location hidden
#5 Jul 22, 2012
Well, someone's nerve was struck, lol, but NOT called POS but POZ, better learn @ least the terminology!
NOT POS...POZ...or Hiv or AIDS or STD'S but,as already can see, ignorance and denial by vile attacks are the first sign of guilt by association.
Hey "do" who yoou need, it's all good, just realize this was for the women @ ho,e thinking of their dedicated butch husbands! Someone mentioned name names? Never, I am not here for that, just a forum topic of discussion as I recently found a cheating husband I never thought would be doing what I found out he is!
But, if and when I had the ability to do so, the local attorney's would be bombarded with divorce suits.
So, grow some balls, and shut the fuc*** up until you know what your talking about.
WOMEN be warned!
#6 Jul 22, 2012
The only thing about this that strikes a nerve is that the homosexual community has to throw it in hetro's faces all the time. I don't care about who you are with, or why, just keep it to yourself. I am proud to be a hetro, but there isn't a freekin hetro pride parade where we celebrate being vagina friendly. If you wanna go ATM on someone's husband, we don't wanna hear it.
#7 Jul 22, 2012
If you want to be a jiz junkie then have at it. Don't suck and tell.
#8 Jul 24, 2012
you want women to be warned, how will we know if its our husband if we aren't told? You say we would all be surprised, honestly, what man is going to admit that to his wife just by being asked? If you REALLY are concerned for the women out there, you would give names. Other than that, I believe a married man was your receiver and didn't give, maybe you're a little angry about that.
#9 Jul 25, 2012
My only response to that is the married men, not to me, have always been the "bottoms"....or use "toys".....
Why would I or anyone getting anything they wanted from a married man be angered?
Again, a "wife's state of denial" of the thought that their big manly hubby, desires a man, more than his wife's "pot o' gold"!( most call it a DUMPSTER!! It ain't as pretty or precious as you think......most stay for the children.....
#11 Jul 25, 2012
I can't say that I have ever referred to my vagina as a "pot of gold", but I do have a question though, maybe I misunderstood you, but if they, as far as you know, are always the "bottoms" then they don't want a "hole" or "dumpster" if you will, they want something in their a$$? I mean, I don't think they are really "hating" on the "dumpster", maybe I guess, anything is possible. I'm not your typical "wife" nor am I in denial, I definately believe that this happens, I just don't know why you put it on Topix. You really aren't proving anything I don't think, no names given so a wife can't really be in denial if the info isn't all presented.
#13 Jul 27, 2012
he is a sex addict and leaving his wife because of his addiction to sex and other men- he is a loser!
#14 Jul 27, 2012
i am gay and married
#16 Aug 3, 2012
agreed!!! i know someone whose husband is from Ilion and she jsut found out he is gay and been meeeting up with other guys in Ilion for gay orgies. Needless to say should found it on his cell phone and now they are getting divorced. she forwarded all his info from teh cell.

Topix Rises to Three-Week High on Earnings Optimism, Yen
Japan's Topix index rose to a three-week high as investors speculated corporate earnings will beat forecasts and a weaker yen boosted exporters.
Canon Inc., the world's No. 1 camera maker, gained 1.4 percent as the yen slid against all of its 16 major counterparts. Suzuki Motor Corp. climbed 2.4 percent on a report the carmaker's first-half operating income may beat estimates. Furukawa Battery Co. jumped 10 percent after reporting better-than-expected profit.
The Topix climbed 0.6 percent to 1,212.36 at the close in Tokyo, its highest since Sept. 27, with all but three of its industry groups advancing. The gauge rose 0.7 percent last week after U.S. lawmakers reached an accord to end the government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average today added 0.9 percent to 14,693.57. The yen slipped 0.4 percent to trade at 98.11 against the dollar.
"Market focus is shifting to reporting season after the U.S. avoided default," said Takahiro Nakano, a Tokyo-based senior strategist at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., a unit of Japan's third-largest bank by market value. "I think there's optimism about corporate earnings. Companies that haven't fully priced in a weaker yen have room to raise their profit forecasts."
While leading gains among developed markets this year, the Topix added just 1.5 percent this month after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided to push ahead with a sales tax increase and the U.S. shut down parts of its government. Some 590 companies on the 1,744-member gauge are scheduled to report results through Oct. 31, with earnings season peaking next week.
Earnings per share for companies on the Topix are expected to grow 56 percent from the previous quarter, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Trade Data
Japan's exports grew 11.5 percent in September from a year earlier, the Finance Ministry said today, less than the revised 14.6 percent gain in August and below the 15.6 percent median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Imports climbed 16.5 percent, leaving a trade deficit of 932.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion).
Separately, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said today Japan's economy is moving smoothly to achieve a 2 percent inflation target.
Canon gained 1.4 percent to 3,185 yen as the yen fell. Komatsu Ltd., a maker of construction machinery that gets most its revenue abroad, added 1.5 percent to 2,402 yen.
Suzuki, Furukawa
Suzuki Motor climbed 2.4 percent to 2,470 yen after the Nikkei newspaper reported the carmaker may report a 90 billion yen operating profit for the first half.
Furukawa Battery jumped 10 percent to 577 yen after reporting 410 million yen in net income, beating its 200 million yen forecast.
Jafco Co. added 2 percent to 5,120 yen after the investment firm's half-year profit rose about sevenfold from a year earlier.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.1 percent today. The measure rose 0.7 percent on Oct. 18 as results from Google Inc. topped estimates and speculation grew that the Federal Reserve will delay cutting the pace of bond purchases.
U.S. Reports
The September U.S. jobs report, originally scheduled to be released Oct. 4, will be issued tomorrow after being delayed by the partial government shutdown. October employment figures will come out on Nov. 8, rather than Nov. 1. Delayed economic data will prevent policy makers from paring asset buying until their March 18-19 meeting, according to the median of 40 responses by economists in a survey conducted by Bloomberg last week.
"Money is flowing into stocks after the U.S. dodged a financial crisis for now as the Fed's tapering is likely to be delayed." said Gentoku Kiyokawa, Tokyo-based head of the Japanese investment management department at BNP Paribas Investment Partners. "But investors can't buy stocks a lot because the fiscal problem was just postponed without getting solved."
The Topix traded at 1.27 times book value as of today, compared with 2.56 for the S&P 500 and 1.79 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index on Oct. 18. Its 30-day historic volatility was at 16.11 today, compared with its five-year median of 19.29.

In cases like this it would be good if the authorities published a summary report of how the decisions were reached; I've got the 60+ page report re JT but haven't yet bothered to read it.
I'd like to think there must be some method to how these decisions are reached, but it doesn't appear consistent and as a result fans are infuriated and lose faith in governing bodies. If we knew why the fines for clubs & nations were so low compared to player fines we might be more forgiving, or countries FAs would have to bring their fines into line.
Domestically, it looks like the Kick It Out campaign could be reaching crisis, I think I've seen 7 players names so far who've not worn the T-shirts today because they don't believe the campaign is working, and another 3 wore them but removed them as soon as the stadium announcers started talking about it. Something's got to change.

In this special series called "The Neonicotinoid View", which is produced by The Organic View Radio Show, host June Stoyer and co-host, Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald talk to Dr. Susan E. Kegley, Principal and Founder of the Pesticide Research Institute (PRI) about a new research initiative called The Hive Project and why this research is important for understanding what is impacting honeybee health.
Open Letter to American Beekeepers
The Presidential Task Force Report on Bee and Pollinator Health has been widely condemned for failing to address the primary cause of bee-deaths in America: pesticides. Environmental NGOs have strongly criticized the Task Force Report including: PANNA, Beyond Pesticides, Center for Food Safety, Friends of the Earth, National Resources Defense Council and EcoWatch. The central criticism is that this report gives pesticides a free pass in relation to bee colony deaths.
When It Comes To Neonicotinoids, Is Anyone Listening?
Neonicotinoids are the most toxic chemicals on the earth but are still being used in the United States. In this segment of The Organic View, bee advocate, Tom Theobald talks to June Stoyer about whether or not any progress has been made to restrict neonicotinoids.

Moe gives Calvin as much grief as he gives to others…
I remember the black gloom that would set in when a bully would challenge me. I never had any confidence. Then suddenly, I was pitted against a kid that used to always torment me. Our wrestling coach put us together in a match opposite one another and I pinned him in seconds flat. It was like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
Cleokaya: What a great feeling that must have been.
Who gets the top bunk in that conglomeration ?
I love the look and atmosphere in panel 3. All too often that was me as a school aged child.
Anything Calvin does will get him beat up. Including nothing.
karma….it's a beautiful thing
Calvin:"I don't like physical education, let me just skip it??!!"
Join marching band, Calvin! That's how I got out of P.E.
I joined the band and that helped a lot. The other thing I did was make friends with a half dozen BIG guys who looked a lot tougher than they really were. We ran as a group and no one messed with us. Calvin needs some big friends.
I was on the wrestling team for one year. The next year I discovered it was much more fun to 'wrestle' with girls. Never did develop any interest in competitive sports after that.
Twinky!!!!! ….. Calvin got muscles from eating marshmallows and peanut butter sandwiches and will pin Moe in no time.
Nothing more painful than a black and blue imagination.
Maybe Calvin needs to call Roselyn to come deal with Moe.

Local Missions Team Returns from Uganda
By Sheri Stuart
A team of local missionaries has returned from Uganda. The team departed Oct. 7 to work side-by-side with the founders of New Generation Nursery and Primary School and the nonprofit organization Open Hearts in Action based in Mukono, a district located in the Central Region of Uganda. The team, working in support of the 1 Uganda Project, distributed much needed supplies and resources to the children and school staff, including back packs, paper, pencils, LED flashlights and candles. Helping Hands, associated with Amazon, donated hundreds of shoes and rain boots, which were distributed to the more than 300 students enrolled at the school.
"Our team is overwhelmed by the generous support received from Helping Hands through the connection from Amazon", said Angela Morrow, founder of 1 Uganda Project based in Bloomington. "Because of the support from both Amazon and Helping Hands, we were able to put smiles on the faces of many children in need and continue our legacy of promoting self-sufficiency through spiritual, emotional, educational and economic support."
The team also visited the District of Jinja and distributed food supplies and mosquito nets to help prevent the spread of malaria, a leading cause of death in Uganda. The 1 Uganda Project will return to Mukono in April and October 2016.

- 4 cups pomegranate juice
- 4 cups pineapple juice
- 6 cups ginger ale
Baking Directions:
Stir 1/2 cup peeled, chopped fresh ginger, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

- 1 (14 pound) turkey, ready to cook
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup good-quality molasses
Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Position a rack in a large roasting pan. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck under skin at neck end, fold wings under and, using kitchen string, tie legs together.Roast turkey for 2 1/4 hours. When pan juices begin forming (check after first hour) baste with juices every 30 minutes. Whisk together mustard and molasses. Remove turkey from oven and brush with molasses mixture. Return to oven and continue roasting about 45 minutes longer, basting every 10 to 15 minutes (tent bird lightly with foil if it begins to get too dark), or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh, away from bone, registers 165 degrees F.Remove string from legs and let turkey stand, loosely covered with foil, for 20 minutes to let juices set. Carve turkey and arrange on a platter. Serve warm with your favorite gravy.Cook time: 3 Hours Prep time: 10 Minutes
- 1/2 cup diced apple
- 8 ounces brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
- 2 tablespoons apple cider
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine apple and brussels sprouts in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Add apple cider, olive oil, minced fresh thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper; toss well. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until sprouts are tender.
Add amazing flavor to brussels sprouts by combining them with sweet-tart apples and roasting them for about 25 minutes or until they are tender and mellow.
- 1 baked pumpkin pie*
- 1/2 gallon premium vanilla ice cream
- Caramel topping
- Toasted pecan halves
Baking Directions:
Place pie in freezer for 1 hour; remove pie from freezer, and chop 3/4 of pie into 1 inch chunks. Allow ice cream to stand about 8 to 10 minutes to slightly soften. "Chunk up" ice cream into a large bowl. Gently fold in pie chunks until blended. To serve, scoop each serving into wine glasses or dessert bowls. Drizzle with caramel topping, and top with pecans.*We used a Mrs. Smith's frozen pumpkin pie, baked according to package directions. We let it cool completely on a wire rack, and then froze it briefly for easy chopping. You can use any type of pumpkin pie here — a deli baked pie or, better yet, a homemade pumpkin pie. (In fact, this idea would also work with a baked pecan pie. Just omit the toasted pecan halves.)

Aaron's has promoted VP of finance Steven A. Michaels to VP of strategic planning and business development. Additionally, Robert W. Kamerschen, SVP and general counsel, will add corporate secretary to his responsibilities, and Kimberly R. Rivera is joining the company as VP of learning and development.
Aaron's, a lease-to-own retailer specializing in the sales and lease ownership of residential furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, has named David L. Buck as its new COO.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The last Kansas governor to resign before his term expired was involved in what's known in political lore as the "Triple Play.''
He was Dodge City Republican Fred Hall. He stepped down as governor on January 3rd, 1957, only 11 days before his single, two-year term ended.
Hall was replaced by then-Lieutenant Governor John McCuish. Then, McCuish appointed Hall to the Kansas Supreme Court to replace ailing chief justice William Smith.
Kansans are speculating about whether current Governor Kathleen Sebelius will resign before her second, four-year term is up. She is said to be one of four running-mate finalists that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is considering.
Even if she isn't picked to run for vice president, Sebelius could leave before her term ends in January 2011 if Obama wins and gives her a Cabinet job.

Who's Afraid of "Death Panels"?
Having cast a mostly symbolic vote to repeal the entire health care law last week, House Republicans have moved on to the next stage of their anti-reform crusade. In my latest story, I explain how GOPers have begun introducing bills to repeal individual parts of the legislation, going after a new Medicare advisory board that they've accused of rationing care through a Soviet-style bureaucracy. The GOP has also begun trying to undermine reform through Congressional hearings: on Wednesday, House Republicans grilled Obama administration officials about reform, accusing the law of hampering job creation and casting doubt on the savings that Democrats say that it will achieve.
To a large extent, these moves are largely political: with Democrats still controlling the Senate and White House, it's highly unlikely that the major parts of the bill will end up being repealed or seriously undermined. At the same time, the Republican provocations aren't purely symbolic, as some parts of the law are genuinely vulnerable to being undone.
As I explain in my story, bipartisan opposition to the new Medicare advisory board—combined with the revived fear-mongering that it will lead to "death panels"— could lead to its demise during the current Congress. And even the Obama administration has showed itself to be vulnerable to the most pointed political attacks. After the health care bill passed, the White House quietly reinserted a controversial rule that would provide Medicare reimbursements to doctors who provided end-of-life counseling—the catalyst for the original "death panel" attacks.
After The New York Times revealed what the White House had done in December, a conservative uproar about "death panels" came roaring back. Rather than defend the policy, the Obama administration bent to political pressure and killed the rule. The flip-flop suggests that the Republicans may have more power to force the administration to undo other policies that the right has linked to its faulty "death panel" meme than some might have thought.

Death Valley's 113°: Hottest April Temperature On Record In U.S.
Jeff Masters, via Wunderblog
An unprecedented April heat wave brought a second day of sizzling temperatures to the Western U.S. yesterday, where temperatures ranging 20 – 30 degrees above normal have toppled numerous all-time April heat records.
All-time heat records for the month of April were set at 56 stations April 21 – 23, including at seven major cities. Image taken from wunderground's new extremes page.
Nearly every weather station in the Inter-mountain West has broken, tied, or come within 1- 2 °F of their all-time record April heat record since Sunday. Most notably, the 113°F measured at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California on Sunday, April 22 was tied for the hottest April temperature ever recorded in the U.S.
According to wunderground weather historian Christopher C. Burt, the hottest reliable April temperature ever measured in the U.S. was 113°F in Parker, Arizona in 1898. A 113°F reading was also taken at Catarina, Texas in April 1984. A hotter 118°F reading measured at Volcano Springs, CA in April 1898 is considered unreliable, since we don't know much about the exposure conditions or if the thermometers were even in shelters at remote California desert stations back in the 1880s and 1890s. The previous hottest April day in Death Valley was 111°F. Yesterday, the high temperature in Death Valley "cooled off" to 110°F, merely the third highest April temperature ever measured there. The heat wave peaked Sunday and Monday, and temperatures will be closer to normal for the remainder of the week.
As is often the case when a major Nor'easter is affecting the Eastern U.S., the record-breaking heat is due to a contortion of the jet stream that has created a strong ridge of high pressure over the Western U.S. Wunderground's extremes page lists 56 stations in the West in the past four days that have tied or broken all-time heat records for the month of April, including:
Phoenix, Arizona: 105°F (previous 105° April temperatures occurred on 4/20/1989 and 4/29/1992)
Las Vegas, Nevada: 99°F (tying old record set 4/30/1981)
Reno, NV: 90° (old record 89° 4/30/1981)
Elko, NV: 87° (old record 86° 4/30/1981). This also beat the previous so-warm-so-early-in-the-season record by 4°
Ely, NV: 84° (old record 82° 4/28/1992)
Winnemucca, NV: 90° (tying old record set 4/30/1981)
Grand Junction, CO: 89° (tying all-time April record also set on 4/29 and 4/30, 1992)
Boise, ID (91°) and Salt Lake City (88°) both came within 1°F of their record April max.

5 Responses to Death Valley's 113°: Hottest April Temperature On Record In U.S.
I spent a lot of time in the Anza-Borrego Desert a couple of years ago and in April it was often warm but nothing like this. My friends in Pasadena said it was 94 degrees F late last week.
The pattern of a warm Winter followed by a Spring cooling (perhaps even a little snow in the coastal mountains) seems to be changing into a warm Winter followed by a long hot Summer.
I was thinking of heading through the desert again early next month but if this continues then stopping and waiting until dark before crossing a couple of hundred miles of desert will have to be my strategy. Plus, it looks like spending a couple of days in Anza-Borrego will be out of the question. The higher elevations to the East are still nice but driving up that hill during the day is out of the question in Summer-time temperatures, there's sure to be trailers loaded with off-road vehicles and campers which makes a narrow, two lane road in the desert hills a a dangerous place to be!
Daytime gets the headlines, but I'm curious if the number of night-time record highs exceeded daytime record high. Any info on that?
Watch out! The deniers will discuss the snow in NY State and Pennsylvania. Why a ski resort in PA opened a trail or two for the latest time in the season! /sarc
The only weather news deniers report these days are snowfalls. WUWT completely ignored the record-breaking March heat wave, and I suspect will ignore this one as well.
What portion of readers come from outside the Fahrenheit ghetto? Offering a couple of ºC translations would save us each doing the calculation.
113ºF = 45ºC
5*(xºF – 32º)/9 = yºC

Big Trouble kind of covered both of those situations." The comic debuts on June 4. [Entertainment Weekly]
Passings | Eisner Hall of Fame nominee Fred Kida has died at the age of 93. Kida was an active comics artist for almost 50 years; he got his start drawing Airboy for Hillman Comics in about 1940 and went on to work for Lev Gleason and then Marvel. He assisted Will Eisner occasionally on The Spirit and also drew a number of newspaper strips, including Flash Gordon and The Amazing Spider-Man. "He was a good, dependable artist who drew beautiful women, handsome heroes and some of the ugliest villains in comics," said Mark Evanier. [News from ME]

[Updated 5:55pm PST: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Humanoids had filed for bankruptcy. Also, since the original article's publication we have spoken to a representative from the American company Humanoids Inc., who currently holds the rights to Hide & Seek.]
Chris Claremont casts a long shadow in modern superhero comics, due to his landmark run on Uncanny X-Men. Many of Marvel's current X-Men stories — and let's not forget Fox's blockbuster movie franchise — are built on earlier work by Claremont and has collaborators. Despite that pedigree, new Claremont comics are few and far between.
In a 2012 interview, he told ROBOT 6 that while he no longer received work from Marvel, he did have a string of projects set up in Europe.
"I have two comics projects that I started in Europe, one science fiction and one fantasy. The fantasy series, titled Wanderers, got one issue published, a second issue fully complete and a third one plotted out before the artist left to work for Marvel," Claremont said, referring to artist Phil Briones. "That's no fault of the artist, but the book was published as a dual-publishing arrangement between a French and Italian publisher that came to blows. I think the French publisher was hoping for better sales of the first volume, and lost interest afterwards. But now because of that, I've got a hundred pages of story sitting on my desk. The other series, the science fiction one, went to the publisher and an artist drew 20 odd pages before the company collapsed. The other publishers I've shown it to were interested, but said that either the artist or the story wasn't quite right for them. Again, there are many cases of concepts that look golden to creators but hit speed bumps along the way and never make it to fruition. That's the business."
There's more to Chris Claremont than the X-Men. You just have to look.
And it appears Titan is doing just that, as the U.K. publisher has announced it's collecting Claremont and John Bolton's long out-of-print sword-and-sorcery comic Marada the She-Wolf.
Originally published in Marvel's mid-1980s creator-owned outlet Epic Illustrated, the story follows a Roman-era warrior named Marada who's destined to "hold the fate of the worlds in her hands." Written as the granddaughter of the great Julius Caesar, Claremont and Bolton tied it intricately into the Roman era with an extra touch of magic and mythology.
Just as the character has an interesting lineage, so does the concept: Marada the She-Wolf was originally intended for Red Sonja, then a licensed character in Marvel's popular Conan line, but after some disagreements with the licensors, the story was mothballed before Claremont finally was able to convince Marvel to let him and Bolton re-work it as their own stand-alone tale. Some of the characters, such as Simyon Karashnur, are thinly veiled versions of Conan/Red Sonja characters like Kulan Gath, but the story stands on its own without any Hyborian backstory.
This new hardcover collection from Titan, due out in November, follows on the heels of the publisher reprinting a later Claremont/Bolton collaboration that was also lost for a time to the back-issue bin, The Black Dragon.
The mythologies built by comics, particularly superhero comics, is often pointed out as one of the great accomplishments of the medium.
There's no doubt the Marvel and DC universes are impressive feats of world-building. In Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, Sean Howe proclaimed the Marvel Universe "the most intricate fictional narrative in the history of the world". If you discount DC because of its various universe resets from Crises and Flashpoints and what-have-yous, I guess that's true. Whoever gets to wear the crown, both sets of characters have been generating dozens of stories, usually hundreds of stories, every month since the late 1930s. Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon universe might be in third place.
Of course, superhero comics aren't alone in this: In Japan, popular manga series also tend to get pretty long in the tooth. Osamu Akimoto's police comedy Kochikame has been running weekly since 1976, resulting in more than 1,700 chapters collected in nearly 200 volumes. Takao Saito's twice-monthly crime manga Golgo 13 is older, having launched in 1969. One Piece has 69 volumes, Naruto has 64, and Bleach 58.
These are amazing accomplishments, but we don't appreciate the satisfying arc of a finite story often enough.
Although tickets for this year's Comic-Con International don't go on sale until Feb. 16, it's likely they'll go fast, and many fans who want to attend will have to look for other ways to get a badge.
Here's one of those alternative opportunities: WeLoveFine is holding an X-Men & Wolverine Design Contest, with the grand prize being a trip to San Diego for this year's. All you have to do to enter is design a T-shirt featuring the X-Men that's good enough to impress the judges — one of whom is legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont.
Claremont, one of comics' "Iron Men," knows a thing or two about the X-Men, and he worked with some of the industry's best artists during his almost 200-issue run on Uncanny X-Men. So it's a bit intimating, to say the least, but if you're up for the challenge, then best of luck … we hope you survive the experience.
More details on the contest can be found below.
Although I had seen the X-Men on an episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, my real introduction to Marvel's mutant heroes was with 1983's The Uncanny X-Men #173, purchased for me by my mother while I was home sick with one childhood illness or another. That issue also introduced Storm's '80s-punk look, meaning that, until I discovered a direct-market store and a back-issue bin a couple of years later, the only Ororo Munroe I knew had a mohawk and studded collar. (As an aside, Paul Smith's rendition of Rogue, with her skunk stripe, led me to think for the longest time that she was middle-aged rather than a teenager.)
To this day, that version of Storm remains my favorite. It apparently also holds a special place in the heart of Sam Humphries, writer of Sacrifice, Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates and Uncanny X-Force, has launched F Yeah Mohawk Storm, a blog devoted to "comics, covers, fan art, cosplay, and fashion celebrating Mohawk Storm."
You have to wonder what took so long for this to happen …
Comic creators come and go, but it's the ones who stick around and become veterans who tend to make the biggest mark on the industry. Some work continuously in comics while others take a hiatus from the business and then return later: Jack Kirby did it, as did James Robinson, Alex Toth, Brian K. Vaughn and others.
One of the most recent big splashes by a returning veteran has been Greg Capullo, who took a hiatus from comics in the 2000s after making a name for himself on Spawn, X-Force and Quasar. In 2009, he limbered up working on Image's Haunt and sealed the deal when he jumped to DC Comics in 2011 to relaunch Batman with Scott Snyder. That got me thinking: Are there other creators floating around on the outskirts of comics, or outside of comics completely, who could pose a formidable force if they returned to comics — and more importantly, if the comics industry knew how to use them? It's with that in mind that I compiled this list.

Legal | Marvel has sued a Jerusalem retailer for $25,000, claiming the well-known Kippa Man store is infringing on its trademarks by selling unlicensed yarmulkes bearing Spider-Man's likeness. "A reasonable consumer could be fooled into thinking that the infringing product is manufactured and/or sold by the plaintiff with the knowledge and/or approval of the defendant," Marvel said in its complaint. Kippa Man owner Avi Binyamin notes the yarmulkes are manufactured in China, and that he only sells them. "There are 20 stores on this street, they all sell the same thing," he told The Jerusalem Post, theorizing that he's being targeted because his store is well known. The Times of Israel characterized the lawsuit as "the first move by Marvel against what it perceives as widespread copyright infringement in Israel, where products featuring its copyrighted superheros are commonly sold." [The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel]
Madelyne Pryor, the Jean Grey lookalike introduced in Uncanny X-Men #168, was put through the ringer by writers over the years, as she went from being Scott Summers' wife and Cable's mother to a clone of Jean Grey and eventually a supervillain. You've gotta love any Wikipedia entry that comes with the caveat, "Madelyne's biography has been rendered particularly complicated because of the many retcons involved in the publication history of both her character and that of Jean Grey."
But that wasn't always the plan for the character, as legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont notes in the video below. The footage is from an interview conducted for the upcoming documentary Comics in Focus: Chris Claremont's X-Men. Filmmakers were able to reunite Claremont, writer Louise Simonson and editor Ann Nocenti for a discussion of their time working on the X-franchise.
Since the dawn of the medium, comic books largely have been the creation of writers and artists working hand-in-hand to produce the characters, stories, titles and universes you follow each week. Recently, however, lawsuits by comic creators against publishers — and sometimes other creators — have raised the question of where, when and how a comic is truly created. Are they the product of the writer, with the artist simply tasked to illustrate the story based on instructions laid out in a script or outline? Or is it a communal effort, with writer and artist both providing unique contributions to the creation of the character and setting, each serving as a storyteller in the planning, coordination and draftsmanship of the actual comic pages? In recent years, comics have become a writer-centric medium, for better or worse, but artists continue to play a crucial, if sometimes overlooked, role in the design of characters and transformation of the writer's scripts into, you know, comics.
In an interview with ICv2.com, Howard Chaykin relayed a story about how an unnamed writer views an artist's contribution as "absolutely nothing to do with the creative process in comics." "I am of the belief that the artist does 50 percent of the 'writing' in comic books," said Chaykin, who's worked as a writer and artist for decades. "I think the guy is plum crazy. It staggered me in its limited understanding of what comic books are about."
Creators | How did Darwyn Cooke get involved with the Before Watchmen comics? "I was kind of dragged into it kicking and screaming by [DC Comics Co-Publisher] Dan DiDio. He had been discussing this for what does amount to several years now, and the first time he had approached me about it, I had actually turned it down simply because I couldn't see doing anything that would live up to the original. And, it was about a year later, the story idea that I'm working on now sort of came to me and I realized that there was a way to do the project, and I had a story that I thought was exciting enough to tell. So I phoned Dan up and said, 'Hey, if you still got room, I'm in.'" [Rolling Stone]
Creators | Ron Marz discusses Prophecy, his upcoming comic that turns the whole Mayan calendar thing into a crossover event that will bring together an eclectic group of characters, and defends the idea of crossovers in general: "If your objection is "they're not in the same universe," or a crossover somehow offends your sense of continuity, I'd suggest you're missing the point. More than any other medium, comics are about unfettered imagination, about making the impossible possible. If you're going to let some perceived "rules" prevent you from telling an exciting story, you're just not trying very hard. Having a sense of wonder, of discovery, is much more important than following some set of perceived rules and regulations." [MTV Geek]
Publishing | The 65th volume of Eiichiro Oda's pirate manga One Piece has sold more than 3 million copies in Japan in less than two months, beating the two previous volumes to that goal. No other manga has sold that many copies so quickly since the market research firm Oricon began releasing sales figures in April 2008. [Anime News Network]
Comic strips | After 33 years on the comics page, Nicole Hollander's Sylvia is hanging up her cigarette and typewriter and calling it a day. Hollander is upfront about the reason: "After the Chicago Tribune dropped Sylvia, my income was cut by half and Sylvia disappeared from my hometown. I felt the loss." She will continue to post vintage Sylvia strips on her blog. [Bad Girl Chats]

The Power of the Fourth
Published: March 9, 2003
(Page 7 of 10)
In his ''baby judge'' speech at the Fourth Circuit judicial convention last summer, Gregory cited Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, setting a new kind of precedent for the court. He also joked that he was welcomed to the Richmond courthouse by someone who pointed out that the Confederate President Jefferson Davis's office used to be right near his new chambers. ''That was very reassuring, you can imagine that,'' Gregory said.
In a study of capital convictions and appeals between 1973 and 1995, Prof. James S. Liebman of Columbia University Law School found that the Fourth Circuit granted relief to death-row inmates less frequently than any other appeals court in the country. Even at that point, and it has gotten more restrictive since, the Fourth Circuit was overturning 12 percent of the death sentences it reviewed: that compared with an average 40 percent reversal rate for federal appeals courts. ''There are other conservative courts of appeal but none that are a black hole of capital litigation like the Fourth Circuit,'' said John H. Blume, director of the Cornell Death Penalty Project, who represents South Carolina prisoners.
When Kevin Wiggins's case came up before the Fourth Circuit in January 2002, he was on death row in Maryland, trying not to get his hopes up. A federal district chief judge had invalidated his death sentence and voided his conviction for murder. Theoretically, he should have gone free. But the state appealed. And Wiggins knew, because death-row prisoners know these things, that the odds of winning in the Fourth Circuit weren't good.
In February, I visited Wiggins in the C-pod of the Maryland Correctional Adjustment Center in downtown Baltimore. When a guard unlocked the door to a narrow concrete visiting cell, Wiggins was already there, staring blankly through a scratched glass partition. Wearing a white undershirt, his face round with a wisp of a mustache, he was itching to get talking. And talk he did, like a balloon releasing air, his words a jumble as he dizzyingly flicked back and forth in time.
Matter-of-factly, Wiggins described himself as ''a nobody with no family and no skills.'' He had a nightmarish childhood, according to information gathered by a forensic social worker hired by his present lawyer. His mother was alcoholic, neglectful and abusive. When he was 6, Wiggins was removed from his mother's home after she burned him severely with a hot plate in punishment for playing with matches. He then endured a series of foster homes in which he was beaten, locked in closets and repeatedly raped. He emerged into adulthood as a barely educated loner who lived in rented rooms and worked at minimum-wage jobs. He was of ''borderline intelligence,'' according to state social-service records.
Wiggins had no criminal record when he was arrested at age 27 for the murder of an elderly woman. The State of Maryland maintained that Wiggins drowned Florence Lacs, 77, in her bathtub in 1988: he was working as a painter in her building, and he and his girlfriend were found in possession of Lacs's credit cards and car. There was no forensic evidence linking Wiggins to the murder, though there was unidentified forensic evidence -- fingerprints, hair, fibers and a baseball cap left at the scene. Still, in a bench trial, a state judge convicted Wiggins of robbery and murder.
During the subsequent sentencing trial, Wiggins's inexperienced public defenders decided to reargue his innocence instead of presenting a case for why he should get life not death. They did not even bother to investigate his background to discover whether he possessed the kind of ''social history'' that is routinely used to humanize a defendant and mitigate against the imposition of the death penalty.
Wiggins has now been on death row since 1989. In 1993, a high-powered Washington lawyer, Donald B. Verrilli, Jr., took on Wiggins's case pro bono, and it began wending its way through the postconviction review and then the state appeals process. Verrilli found the case against Wiggins to be weakly circumstantial at best, offering evidence only that Wiggins was a logical suspect. Verrilli said he came to believe that Wiggins did not commit the crime but rather served as the ''fall guy for people more clever than him.'' Specifically, there is a plausible alternative to the course of events involving Wiggins's girlfriend, who was 15 years his elder. All charges against her were dropped, and she testified against Wiggins; her brother, it seemed, lived in an apartment below the victim's.
The case's first stop in federal court was at the bench of Maryland's United States chief district judge, J. Frederick Motz, who happens to be married to Judge Diana Motz, a Clinton appointee on the Fourth Circuit. Judge Frederick Motz is a former federal prosecutor appointed by Reagan; he is not, as he said in court one day, ''an anti-capital punishment person.'' In a 55-page opinion, he concluded, ''No rational finder of fact could have found Wiggins guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt.'' He invalidated the murder conviction and threw out the death sentence too.

Running Time: 78
Director: Richard Mann
Company: Fat Dog Productions
Cast: Jake Steed, Tigger James, Elizabeth (I), Damian Wolf, Honey Jarre, Denise Taylor
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Totally silly tale of Honey Jarre, adopted by a supposedly rich black guy. Jarre's boyfriend doesn't satisfy her between the sheets and her adopted dad thinks Jake Steed is the guy for the job. Along the way, lovely Lilli Xene shows Jarre how to use a vibrator, Sharon Kane borrows an unseen cup of sugar from Steed, a stringbean-thin woman seduces two guys in the kitchen (she's thin but very inspired), Lilli takes on a condom-clad "Mr. Eaton" and Steed finally shows Jarre true sexual bliss. Jarre is a real pleas-er, with beautifully expressive blue eyes. Note: all but one scene is interracial. An attractive boxcover deserves prominent placement.

Scott Pelley Replaces Couric as Anchor of CBS Evening News
Scott Pelley will replace Katie Couric next month as anchor and managing editor of CBS Evening News, network executives said.
"CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley" will begin June 6, CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager and President David Rhodes said today in an e-mail. Couric's contract expires June 4.
Pelley, who has been at CBS for more than 21 years, has served as chief White House correspondent and became a regular contributor for "60 Minutes" in 2004. Pelley will continue to report for "60 Minutes," where Fager is executive producer.
"Scott is the ideal journalist to lead this broadcast," Rhodes said. "He has a body of work few in the business can claim and will help us grow CBS News now and in the future."
Ratings at "CBS Evening News" declined during Couric's tenure, falling to an all-time low in total viewers with an average of 4.89 million during the week of Aug. 24, 2010, according to TVNewser.
Comcast Corp.'s NBC and Walt Disney Co.'s ABC are discussing talk shows with Couric that would start in 2012, an executive with knowledge of the talks told Bloomberg last week.

Dunedin city councillors support lowering the speed limit for
John Wilson Ocean Dr, but it could be a year before any
change is introduced.
Reopening vehicle access to John Wilson Ocean Dr has gone
well so far, Dunedin City Council staff say.
John Wilson Ocean Dr has reopened to motorists. A lone
protester watched in silence as First Security operations
manager Garry McLennan unlocked and removed two bollards at
the St Kilda end of the windswept seaside drive at 11am
Dunedin's John Wilson Ocean Dr will reopen to vehicles for
four hours on weekdays, from today.
Dunedin residents may be stuck with the reopening of John
Wilson Ocean Dr.
John Wilson Ocean Dr should be reopened to vehicles within
the next month.
Those on either side of the debate about whether John Wilson
Ocean Dr should be reopened to vehicles largely begrudgingly
accept the compromise the council is proposing.
Just as Dunedin city councillors say it is time to stop
stringing the community along and make a decision on John
Wilson Ocean Dr, a report from council staff throws another
option on the table that could prolong the debate further.
Dunedin city councillors will have yet another opportunity to
debate future vehicular access to John Wilson Ocean Dr on
Monday, council staff recommending they stick with the
decision they made last year to limit vehicle access to a few
hours a day.
Dunedin city councillors will next month decide the final
fate of John Wilson Ocean Dr - again.

This Saturday's NCAA semifinal between North Carolina and Villanova will be a hard fought contest.
The last time 47-year-old Jay Wright and his Wildcats faced 58-year-old Roy Williams and the Tarheels, was in the 2005 Sweet 16—UNC won that game by one point, 67-66.
North Carolina (32-4) is a lightening quick basketball team and has size and strength. UNC had to rely on all these attributes to perform well in a brutal ACC regular season, the ACC post-season tournament, and their four NCAA tournament bouts.
Villanova (30-7) with its' in-your-face defense is also quick, and it is a physically tough team. They performed increasingly better through a bruising Big East season, the Big East conference tournament, and four challenging NCAA games.
These two teams are streaking.
Many writers have noted that Villanova has no trees. True, but they are a big and very physical basketball team.
Does Pittsburgh meet your definition of big? How about Syracuse? Villanova is 4-0 against those two teams this year.
Ken Pomeroy's Web site lists Villanova's average height as 77.1 inches, and North Carolina's as 77.2 inches.
It is true that Villanova has no trees, but when the ball bounces off the rim, a crowd of Villanova players leap—guards and forwards.
These are two excellent rebounding teams. North Carolina out rebounded its' opponents 42.1 to 35.1, while Villanova out rebounded its opponents, 37.2 to 32.8.
Both North Carolina and Villanova are deep. North Carolina uses pretty much an eight man rotation, playing four guards and four forwards (counting 6'6" Danny Green as more of a forward). Villanova plays four guards and four forwards (also counting 6'6" Duane Anderson as more of a forward).
Villanova's physicality and aggressiveness are two great assets, and some times liabilities. Both North Carolina and Villanova have four excellent guards, and both teams take very good care of the ball, more so North Carolina.
Acoording to Ken Pomeroy's site, North Carolina has a 16.7 percent turnover percentage. (The Division 1 average is 20.4 percent.) Villanova's percentage is 18.9 and has improved over this season as Villanova's two sophomore guards now have another 37 games under their belt.
The biggest challenge for Villanova in this game will be staying out of foul trouble. Villanova averages 19.1 fouls per game, while North Carolina averages 15.8.
North Carolina only has three players who average more than two fouls per games. As you would expect, they are three of the big men, Hansbrough (6'9"), Thompson (6'8"), and Green (6'6").
Villanova has seven men in their rotation who average over two fouls per game, led by Dante Cunningham (6'9").
Villanova is very physical, and deep. However, if leading scorer, rebounder, and team leader, Cunningham fouls out, the rest of the team will continue to bang, but it would be a steep uphill climb.
The last 10 games played by these two games include the cut-throat end of the conference season, their respective conference tournaments, and four NCAA tournament games.
These contests reflect two superb basketball teams who are playing at their peak. Both teams are 8-2 over this punishing stretch.
These 10 games also yield a rough indication of what we can expect.
If we average North Carolina's 10-game offense (85.8 ppg), with Villanova's 10-game defense (67.8), the result is 76.8 points.
Averaging Villanova's 10-game offense (75.7), with North Carolina's 10-game defense (72.5), the result is 74.1.
That edge goes to UNC, but when the first whistle blows and the ball is tossed we will see one of the best offenses in the country come out hot and and run directly into a very physical and tough defense.
It will be a slugfest.

Pros: Excellent depiction and sculpt; love the accessory and power action
Cons: None
One thing about boys' toys is the lack of female figures in the line-up. This is not an uncommon thing but it's also quite noticeable as well. The 1984 Kenner's Super Powers Collection is a good example of this situation. Out of all the characters presented in this series, Wonder Woman is the only female figure ever to be created. Luckily for her, she is also one of the most popular characters of all time as well.
Wonder Woman, the Amazing Amazon, is Princess Diana from the fabled Paradise Island. She came to "Man's World" after saving the life of Steve Trevor and assumed the identity of Diana Prince to blend in with society. As Wonder Woman, she has extraordinary strength and durability, is able to glide on air currents, bounce bullets of her bracelet, and possesses a magic lasso that forces those bound with it to obey her commands.
This action figure (yes, she is an action figure and not a doll) is exquisite. I say that because in comparison to today's depiction of female action figures, she looks like a woman and not a skinny model. It's an unusual thing to say but it's noticeable. Looking back I really actually appreciate what Kenner did much more when creating this figure.
The level of detail on this figure is truly amazing. This is the time when Wonder Woman switched to using the double W emblem on her outfit rather than the eagle so the current it was great to see the current incarnation (at the time) being depicted. The emblem alone is a great piece of craftsmanship. Her face is wonderfully sculpted as well along with her hair and tiara. And I'm glad someone took the time to paint all those stars on her shorts. But the funny thing is that she does look like she walked out of a swimsuit pageant.
Wonder Woman uses her Power Action Deflector Bracelets to combat evil. Squeeze her legs together and her arms are raised to her face. They are crossed together at the bracelets to activate her bracelet deflecting action. It's a pretty awesome move and one that anyone familiar with Wonder Woman will recognize right away.
Wonder Woman is also a figure that comes with an accessory and what would she be without her magic lasso. Today's action figure would include a plastic replica of her fabled magic lasso. Back then it was actually created out of string. In fact to make it even more authentic, it was a shiny, gold thread looped together. The only thing that was needed was a hook on the side of her belt to fasten it there in place. The problem with this lasso, however, is how it could easily be lost or unthreaded.
This figure has seven-points of articulation in the head, arms, legs and knees. However, her head is limited due to her long hair that prevents it from moving too much. Also included is a biography card and a mini comic book. In it, she takes on the evil android Brainiac as she rescues Superman.
I still believe Wonder Woman from the Super Powers Collection is an amazing representation of the character. It's hard to market female characters to boys but this one is quite understandable. It the line had continued I think Batgirl and maybe Cheetah would have been the next logical choices for female characters. As it is right now, Wonder Woman is the sole female presence in a testosterone-filled collection. It's a good thing she is also one of the most powerful in the group as well so no one is going to want to mess with her at all.

I have been using the Tabbed Boxes on a few webpages of a new site and they have worked out well both in presentation and reducing the total viewable page length.
I now have a situation where it would be very useful to have 4 Secondary Tabs within one of the Primary Tabs. ie Tabs within a Tab.
Can this be done?
I have tried nesting the Tabs code, but so far it only seems to break the plugin by separating the Tab following where I nested it into a separate Tabbed box.
Hope there is a solution

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Parenting Adolescents with Autism
Quality of Life continued...
A common priority is relationship building. This process involves taking social skills to the next level to identify friendship opportunities and open discussions about dating and intimacy. Most critically, it involves setting short-term goals that are achievable and meaningful. This is a highly charged and intimidating area of development for teens with autism, so frequent successes are important to help alleviate fear and build confidence.
The same is true for skills required for independent adult life. Parents and their child need to agree on critical goals at home for building independence. While these goals may include basic skills like cooking, cleaning, and transportation, they should also include more complicated skills that often stand in the way of later independence, such as organizational skills. To succeed outside of the home, an individual needs to be able to list priorities (shopping, doctor visits, visiting friends, etc.) and to organize the necessary steps to achieve these tasks in a timely manner. Another important goal is learning how to appropriately seek help and advice. Outside of the parent-child relationship, an individual with autism will need to identify appropriate sources of support and learn how to seek out and utilize assistance when it is needed. This may seem like a goal for a younger child, but seeking support is much more complicated at the adult level, especially if one's social network is much smaller than those not on the autistic spectrum.
While it is important to teach crucial life skills and encourage independence, the goal of ensuring quality of life is important, too. This should start with a team approach to analyzing what exactly "quality of life" means for particular individual and family. One approach is to gather people together in a supportive environment to discuss specific strengths and needs. This would include family, educators, neighbors, therapists, and anyone else who has a meaningful relationship with and understanding of the individual. The goal is to build a profile of how his or her life has progressed up to that moment. Who have been loyal friends? What activities or interests have brought joy? What has succeeded? What has failed? What is the shared vision of the group and how do we get there? What can the individuals sitting around the table contribute moving forward, and who else should be involved?
It is very hard to build an educational program that will need to succeed on so many levels to build independence and ensure optimal quality of life. Without a shared vision and a well-thought out plan, one that includes as many people as possible, it becomes confusing and difficult to stay on task.

First of all - wow, this is amazing! less than 15 minutes to install and configure for a BuddyPress site, and it works great.
But why is it working?
Google and MSN are charging for their API translation services -and we haven't signed up with either - so how come it is working?
Not that I am complaining of course, but... should we?
Many thanks
