Brian Gardner? ThemeLabs? I'm talking about one of your themes. WhiteSpace and Choice 1.0 respectively. W3C has validators you can use to validate the the files and the pages your files produce.
Grammar matters.

You know you're all grown up when you eat Lucky Charms cereal and don't pick out the mini marshmallows before pouring the milk.
The wall would only be lowered about 3 feet if it was raked the same as the existing deck, so you'd still have a high 13 ft wall in LF. For the record, I would have had no problem with that, but the Mets players and many fans were probably pushing for a more HR-friendly 8 foot wall.
Also, adding 3 rows of non-premium seating is not as attractive financially as adding 2 rows of premium party suite-style seating.
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

Totally agree with Ray on this one. The numbers and banners look slapped together and cheap. They appear as almost an afterthought imo. There has to be a better design and place for them. Its emblematic of the Wilpon's overall sense of aesthetic and idea of what of the franchise's history the fans really would like to see. You can almost see in many of the secondary details how tortured they we're in making the decision. Many of the wrong ideas were brought over from Shea - the placement of the banners and numbers being the clearest of them. The placement of the Apple and overall look of the batter's eye being another. Imo, the retired numbers (with the name) should be above the bullpen area where the Wise sign is and a better design of the banners should be on the facing of the second deck in LF (where the Spongetek/Bob's Furniture ads are). I personally like the way the Braves have their banners:

Also, the banners at the 126th St entrance should be replace with something a little better than cardboard (another head shaker). I personally like what the Sox do at Fenway:

Cleon Jones catches a deep fly ball in F. Scott Fitzgerald's Valley of the Ashes, and a second-grader smiles in front of the black and white television.
And, btw, I like Citi Field quite a bit - have defended the overall design of the place here since the opening. Heck, it's a much nicer building than the larger, more expensive (but sadly pedestrian) palace by the same firm across town. A rarity for our Mets to get something better!
That this hodgepodge party deck on stilts takes away a distinctive design feature instantly recognizable throughout baseball is certainly part of my disenchantment with this project - but it also doesn't 'look safe' to the untrained eye.

I like the idea of the retired #'s in the pen. But I would consider putting them on the Shea Bridge facing the field. Its so bland. I also said I would have put SHEA BRIDGE in lights facing the field to make it stand out a bit...
I think you are taking my comments a little too personally. My comment on using vinyl applications for the number presentation is this - it's used reguarly in outside presentations (such as advertising, the industry that I work in) & no one would notice if they were peeling if they were properly maintained. You said that you thought that the use of the applications was not appropriate (hence my tongue in cheek comment on Michelangelo) - I disagree as long as they are properly maintained.
As for the location - they have a huge LF wall with the ads on the bottom 8'. IMO, putting the retired numbers/championships on the upper part of the wall seems logical to me (and for the last few yrs, there have been no ads on the upper portion of the wall).
As for finances - lets be honest - almost every subject on this thread comes down to the Wilpons being cheap, cutting corners and running the team poorly. In many ways I 100% agree with those thoughts. But my initial comment for people to get a grip was due to the fact someone posted that the peeling stickers were "...the Wilpons in a nutshell".
You're entitiled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.
IMO if done right, no one would know how the #s were presented on the wall. The applications are probably past their useful lives. And for all we know the Mets replace the applications every season (Gary's photo was taken in November).
Hopefully that clears things up.

i didnt mean to start a sticker war when i made my comment, but i want to state it again. i feel like the placement is so bad now for both numbers and banners because they seemed blocked off in the drawings and in the video from mlb 12 game, the deck, railing and people will be level with them blockin ghtem and i feel like that is what makes they cheap now. i totally agree the stickers are unacceptible, but they need to be moved just because of the party deck height now interfering with the presentation of them. they should put the baners and numbers on the end of the decks, like either on the pepsi porch or left field landing. it would be cool to see what some teams have done, they put silouetts with the reitred numbers on the outfield walls, now that looks awsome and classy to me.

It will be interesting to see if they keep the numbers and championship "flags" in the party deck location or if they place them somewhere else in the stadium.
[QUOTE=Gary Dunaier;1988104]New images posted by the Mets on Facebook...
Great barstools!
I dont get the weird extra angle... why not follow the concrete wall to the natural angle already there towards the corner.
That's because they're not moving the foul pole. The new section must taper off before it gets to the foul pole.
Attachment 105780
This rendering shows that the retired numbers will not be impeded by fans, although the banners still might be. This is obviously considering the fact that they won't move the numbers/banners, which I see no reason why the Wilpons would.
It also shows how the home run line will be set up in the far left field wall where the new section tapers into the old wall. The HR line will continue from the new section and onto the old wall and apparently it will become one of those ambiguously placed HR lines that does not define the top edge of a wall, but rather runs right through it. Call me nitpicky but I'm still of the belief that a HR line should always be the top edge of a wall, and if it goes over it's a HR, if not, then no HR. Even the remaining black wall that is still above the HR line in the Big Apple section still bothers me. In this case with the new section however, I don't think there was anything they could've done. And if it helps the team...

Try to get a similar photo of shea LF picnic area to the one on the mets facebook page.
My first reaction is paint the seats.
Also did the mets ditch the portal in front of the Left field gold seats.

Kanki Izumigawa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this Japanese name, the family name is Izumigawa.
Kanki Izumigawa (泉川 寛喜 Izumigawa Kanki?, 1908 – 1969) was a karate master[1][2] who learned Goju-Ryu from Seiko Higa on Saipan. Higa had studied under Kanryo Higashionna (of Naha-Te) and trained with Chojun Miyagi (the founder of Goju-Ryu).[3] Izumigawa was born in Okinawa to a samurai family and was the founder of the Senbukan Dojo, which had its headquarters in Kawasaki City and branches in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kanagawa Prefecture. His son Kanbun carried on his School in Japan. Seiichi Akamine helped him to spread Goju-Ryu and Seiko Higa tradition in mainland Japan, travel to South-America to spread Karate-do and founded the Ken-Shin-Kan school.
Takashi Tanigawa (Koshukan) also studied directly with Izumigawa at the Senbukan Dojo in Kawasaki

A few people have written to me to ask when / if I am going to release my WordPress theme which I have named Jugendstil.
I have no idea of the amount of work that would be involved, or what the process is. I realise I need to make the theme generic and add some customization options. I'd also need to do a lot more testing...
Is this documented anywhere?
I wouldn't want to release the theme just to find that people are struggling with it, that it's full of bugs or that they need tons of support. Some is ok - maybe avg 15-30 mins a day.
However on the other side I wouldn't mind the fame, glory etc that no doubt will be mine... ;-)
If you are experienced with WP, please would you advice me? Is there anything in particular about my theme (http://www.vikingprincess.net ) that makes it unsuitable for releasing as a WP theme?
Rough guess at how long it will take me to get it to a state where it can be released?

A Daleville woman is arrested on drug charges.
40-year-old Jackie Upton was arrested Friday night.
Police say a search warrant turned up chemicals to make meth as well as the drug.
Upton is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.
Upton is being held in the Dale County Jail on $16,000 bond.
"The best advice I can give is just leave it alone. I mean it's just a drug we fight in this area. It's like a never ending battle. The best thing I can tell you is just leave it alone, that's my best advice," said Sgt. Stacey Austin of the Daleville Police Department.
Daleville police made a separate meth arrest last Thursday.

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas missed his fifth straight game with a strained back Monday night and the team has no timetable for his return.
While there apparently has been some progress in Ilgauskas' recovery, Cavaliers coach Mike Brown doesn't know when his 7-foot-3 center will be back.
"He's done well in the past week, but in terms of beyond that, I don't know," Brown said.
Ilgauskas, in his 10th NBA season, is averaging 13.5 points and 9.6 rebounds.
Since being plagued by foot injuries early in his career, the 32-year-old Ilgauskas has been one of the most durable players in the league the past five seasons. He played 81 games in both the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons, and 78 games in each of the last three seasons.
The Cavaliers, who were 36-27 going into Monday night's game against Portland, have been dealing with injuries all season. Guards Sasha Pavlovic (sprained left foot) and Daniel Gibson (sprained left ankle) are also out with injuries.
Pavlovic, who hasn't played since Jan. 23, went through a full practice Sunday for the first time since being injured. Because of the injury and a contract holdout that dragged into the start of the season, he has only played in 38 games, averaging 7.3 points.
Gibson, who has made 48 percent of his 3-point attempts, has missed the last 10 games. He's averaging 11.5 points.
The injuries, along with last month's trade that added Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West, have challenged Cleveland's continuity, but the Cavs still have the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference.
"We've been playing good, but we can't find out how good we are until we're injury-free," Cavaliers forward LeBron James said.

Mound BuildersThe Mississippian, Quapaw and Caddo moundbuilders produced the finest pottery of prehistoric North America. Although pottery began appearing in North America a thousand years before the Mississippians, this pre-Mississippian pottery tended to be utilitarian bowls with limited ornamentation. By contrast, the Mississippians produced pottery of great durability and high artistic merit

Mound Builders in North American archaeology, name given to those people who built mounds in a large area from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Mississippi River to the Appalachian Mts. The greatest concentrations of mounds are found in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. The term "Mound Builders" arose when the origin of the monuments was considered mysterious, most European Americans assuming that the Native Americans were too uncivilized for this accomplishment. In 1894, Cyrus Thompson of the Smithsonian Institution concluded that the Mound Builders were in fact the Native Americans. Clarence Moore, who excavated numerous mound sites in the South between 1892-1916, believed the southern Mound Builders were heavily influenced by the Mesoamerican civilizations, an idea now generally discounted.

The Mound Builders
An Eastern Woodland Indian TraditionThe Mound Builders is a term used to describe several First Nation's cultures that built earthen burial mounds and other earthworks across a large area of North America that extended from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to the Appalachian mountains. The Mound culture emerged at about 3000 BC and disappeared around 1200 AD.
The term 'mound builders' doesn't refer to any one specific culture, but rather encompasses several cultures that spanned the 4000+ year period and ranged from mobile hunter-gatherers to sedentary farmers.
The earliest mounds were built approximately 4000 years ago (The Archaic Period) at a place now known as Monroe, Louisiana. The site consists of eleven mounds. The Archaic mound-building tradition continued in that general region until approximately 500 BC. A site known as Poverty Point, in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana,includes two large mounds, one of which reaches 65 ft (20 m) high. Each of those mounds is surrounded by six concentric earth ridges.
The Archaic culture morphed into the Early Woodlands culture but the mound builders traditions continued with the evolution of the Adena Mound Building culture (circa 1000BC - 300BC) and then the emergence of the magnificent Hopewell mound builders (circa 300BC - 700AD).

During the later period of the Mississippian, culture about 1250-1550, warfare began to increase between the Mississippian societies. This was probably because of competetion over farmland, which was becoming less abundant duc to the growing populations. Skeletons with imbedded arrowheads have been uncovered at many mound sites. The Mississippian Indians had bows and arrows which could pierce through the chain mail armor of the Spanish conquistadors. There are numerous portrayals of scalping and beheading as well as severed trophy heads in Mississippian artwork. In the mid 1500's, when the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the Southeast, the the Mid-South region was largely abandoned. It was formerly believed that the desertion of the Mississippian centers had been the result of a population loss due to the introduction of European diseases. However, radiocarbon dating has shown that the decline in population began more than a century before Europeans arrived in the region. The decline of the Mississippian Indians' population is still a mystery.

The Mississippians' villages were built in a fairly standard pattern. Ceremonial buildings on large four sided flat-topped mounds faced a plaza. The villagers gathered in the plaza for important events and ceremonies. Archeologists do not know exactly what purpose these buildings fulfilled. The most widely accepted ideas are that they were either religious structures, or the homes of chiefs or other important families. They would have functioned as temple and town hall where religious ceremonies and political meetings were held. As the Mississippians flourished, the mounds evolvedhttp://asms.k12.ar.us/armem/hopper/Builders.htm into large urban centers. Sometimes one large flat-topped mound dominated a village or ceremonial center. More often, several mounds were arranged around a rectangular plaza, with the village at its edges. The mounds were built over a period of years. They may have began as a slight rise with an important building on it. After a time, perhaps its grass roof caught fire or the people burned it down as part of a cleansing ceremony. Whatever the cause, the builders brought basketful after basketful of dirt to start a new foundation. Many Mississippians, each hauling 60-pound baskets of soil, worked to complete each stage. When it was ready, they built a new building on top. This process was repeated many times to the same mound, and each time it would grow larger. Crews of workers labored over generations, sometimes a century or more, before an earthwork reached its final dimensions.

By reason of infectious Old World diseases brought by the Spanish, population migration due to the depletion of natural resources, or for other unknown reasons Mississippian Moundbuilders vanished before Marquette and Joliet traveled through the old Mississippian lands in the late 17th century. However, we still have tangible reminders of this once powerful and highly developed culture. The Moundbuilders were highly accomplished potters, flint knappers and stone workers who also designed and created many status ornaments such as shell gorgets, ear ornaments and beads. This website displays some of the finest Mississippian, Quapaw and Caddo artifacts in private and public hands.
By definition, a prehistoric people, such as the Mississippian Moundbuilders, left behind no written record of their history. We do have their artifacts and great earthen mounds to help tell their stories and suggest their past. The artifacts displayed here are some of the finest ever recovered. Many reflect the high water mark of their makers' achievements. No other website exhibits the fantastic Moundbuilder artifacts to such a representative and comprehensive extent. Take your time and enjoy these great reminders of our distant native past. It is a story worth sharing.
Finally, I would like to share my thoughts and objectives about this website. It is my intention that this virtual exhibit serve as a celebration of Mississippian art and culture. This is and shall remain a non-commercial venture. I am not a professional archaeologist and I do not pretend to be one. However, I have made a very conscious effort to travel throughout the Country in search of the best Mississippian artifacts to display in this site. It is a reality of life that many interested professionals and students of Mississippian art and archaeology may never have an opportunity to personally examine the many fine artifacts that I have had the pleasure to examine, study and photograph. The remarkable qualities of web technology can now provide the viewer with the next best means of seeing these great artistic creations. I must further acknowledge that although I am solely responsible for the final content of this site, my work would not be complete without the selfless and friendly support of many experienced and seasoned students of Mississippian archaeology. I wish to specifically thank the following individuals for allowing me to visit them and their collections, talk with them about each artifact and allow me to exhibit the photographs contained in this site: Gordon Hart, Roy Hathcock, Mike Dominy, Kent Patterson, Floyd Ritter, Steve Puttera, Jr., Ron Smith, Dan Swan of the Gilcrease Museum, Tommy Bryden, David Perky, Dr. Kent Westbrook, Jim Frederick, Ray Fraser and the many others who have unselfishly contributed to this site but who wish to remain anonymous. A special thanks to my web designer, Doug Gundersen of Lenexa, Kansas, who has done a masterful job in helping me create this site. To all of you, I say, "thank you".

http://www.knbc.com/news/14098267/detail.htmlTalk about taking things way to far sheesh!Kids Told To Remove Tiny Rifles From Graduation Caps
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. -- Cornerstone Elementary School will review its zero-tolerance policy toward guns on campus this fall after fifth-graders were told to remove weapons from the hands of toy soldiers that festooned their graduation caps.
"We don't want to repeat mistakes or offend people," Walker Williams, superintendent of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, told the Daily Breeze."We didn't intend to offend."
The school principal, Denis Leonard, did not want to talk to the newspaper.

Glen Nakata, the father of fifth-grader Austin, met with Williams and district officials in July to discuss the policy.
"I'm glad they're taking these steps," he told the Daily Breeze.
A lawyer for the National Rifle Association, Chuck Michel of Long Beach, suggested district officials had taken the policy to a ludicrous extreme.
"This school district recognizes that they don't have any reason for doing this," he told the Daily Breeze.
About 10 years ago, a teacher at Cornerstone started what is now a tradition: having youngsters decorate their graduation mortar boards to illustrate what they might do in the future.

the whole idea of "zero tolerance" is a sham. stories like this just prove how out of control the whole idea is.
wow...and i thought it was bad 8 years ago when I was in school... apparently it's just getting worse!
This age of zero tolerance and political correctness can only last so long... eventually the public will realize that it's all a sham and hopefully it'll stop.

Explain something to me please.
The school shootings and kids bringing guns to school we've all heard about. It is worrisome and can be a serious problem. Apparently these experiences have caused school administrations/laws to declare a gun-free area at schools. Now the pendelum has swung even further and kids get in trouble if they talk about a gun, draw a picture of a gun, or have a tiny gun icon at school.
When I was a kid in high school (late 60's) we guys talked about guns at school, checked out hunting books from the library, read gun magazines, etc. In younger school days we even drew "battle scenes" on notebook paper, drew pictures of guns and military aircraft, read combat-type comic books. So with all that background, I've never had the inclination to shoot someone, never fantisized over it, never brought a gun to school, never even thought about doing it. So today, I'm just a regular guy.....never been arrested, not a serial killer, or whatever.
So what's gone wrong? Myself and friends were immersed in guns/shooting as youths, everyone turned out fine. What is affecting these kids to actually shoot classmates, or kids bringing guns to school as if they were toys. Is it video games? (I really don't think so, we had very realistic cap-pistol battles) Is is tv? (I really don't think so, we had cowboy shoot-em-ups, detective shows, and remember Combat?). Is it parenting? (I'm thinking this could be a big factor in some cases). Is it music? (I don't really know what they listen too, though I've heard it can be vulgar). Is it news media? (Widespread 24hrs/day reporting of school shootings causing other kids to "copycat" the idea?)
As I mentioned the school shootings and guns at school have caused the wide pendelum swing, but why do you think that kids have started shooting kids at school, when at one time I would say that it was never heard of. What changed?
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
It's the same basic premise in all facets of life. Everyone wants something for nothing. Everyone blames someone or something else for their own problems, most of which were caused directly or indirectly by themselves. No one does, nor do they want to take responsibility for their own actions or lack thereof.Apple, the next Rearden Metal!
Will slave-whipping moochers ever cease? It sounds like something right out of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I reference the following CNN article regarding the Apple iPhone "rebate" fiasco: http://money.cnn.com/2007/09/06/tech...ney_topstories. Apple created a product, marketed it, and sold it. Consumers made an agreement with Apple and they exchanged value for goods and services that they both agreed upon. Now, some 2 or 3 months after the iPhone was released, Apple has lowered their prices in what I would assume be an effort to make it a more attractive and marketable buy for more consumers (thereby getting themselves more business). It makes sense, right?
Apparently it doesn't to some. Now all the folks that AGREED to a price and paid it are screaming bloody murder about Apple reducing their prices yesterday and those same folks are demanding a partial refund. APPLE CAVED!
These folks are like all the moochers in Atlas Shrugged. They play off of their weapon of guilt in an attempt to take value from the producers of the world. We all need to let Apple know that they were in the right the first time around and they need not cave in to petty looters and moochers.

Maybe it would help if we called zero tolerance by its right name and quit letting the PC crowd define the language. We don't need a new term like "zero tolerance" we have and have had for centuries a perfectly good word to express what is meant by "zero tolerance." That word is: INTOLERANCE!!!!!!! Zero tolerance sounds so much more refined than the real word for it.
It is also amazing that the same people who proclaim "zero tolerance" for certain things like guns, individual responsibility, etc. are the very ones who scream that we should be tolerant of all sorts of other things like illegals in our country, terrorists, pedophiles, and all sorts of aberrant behavior. These people are tolerant of anything that is working to destroy our country and INTOLERANT of anything that would improve it. Kind of makes you wonder doesn't it?

Shelly Moore Capito Challenges Jay Rockefeller for Senate
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on November 26, 2012 @ 7:25PM
Created on November 26, 2012 @ 12:13PM
Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, who's in the middle of her term in the U.S. House of Representatives, announced that she plans to take on political mainstay Jay Rockefeller in the race for his Senate seat in 2014.
Capito, who celebrated her 59th birthday Monday, has served in the House for twelve years.
She admitted that she's been thinking about a Senate run for a while. To get to the Senate she will have to beat Rockefeller who's held the job since 1984. Rockefeller has not announced if he plans to run again in 2014.
Regardless, Capito is promising voters that she will stand up to the EPA and work with Democrats to come up with the best legislation possible for the people of our state.
5 News has reached out to Senator Rockefeller's camp for their response to all this, but they haven't gotten back to us.
More Information: CBS News
In a statement, Club for Growth PAC President Chris Chocola likened Capito to establishment 2012 Senate candidates like Reps. Denny Rehberg and Rick Berg and former Rep. Heather Wilson: "All three had the 'right' resumes, and all three had no 'divisive' primaries. Yet all three lost in races that were thought to be winnable," Chocola said. "The way back for the Republican Party is the way of Jeff Flake, Ted Cruz, Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee."
So far, Rockefeller hasn't voiced his plans for the future. In a statement obtained by CBSNews.com, he confirmed that "Congresswoman Capito called last week to let me know of her plans," which he said he "appreciated." Click Here to read more.

If you dont mind smaller rings this is perfect. It sparkles and good for everyday wear. I like it!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? almost exact
- How accurate was the sizing? exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good for the price
I am not a jewelry person, I don't like big and gawdy or clunky. Nice thing is this ring was perfect for me! It's small, don't let the picture fool you. But if you are looking for an antique look, something small you won't hurt yourself with or just a starter ring I highly suggest this ring! It sparkles in the sunlight and made my day when it came in the mail!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Good, smaller in person, but desireable
- How accurate was the sizing? Perfect!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
It looks beautiful when you wear it .
Stones fell out bad workmanship
She is very well satisfied.
Beautiful,but a little smaller than I expected
This ring is exactly what I was looking for...it is beautiful, shiny and not huge and gaudy! I am very proud of how it looks...it is on the small side, but that is just exactly how I like it. I certainly wear it with pride!
I couldn't be happier with this set! It's exactly what I was looking for. It is so beautiful and non traditional. I didn't want the one diamond in the center look like EVERYONE else has ever worn. It is small and classy, perfect for small hands. Sparkels nicely, and you can't beat the price! Very happy!
very pretty and fits well. I receive a lot of compliments on this set
my lady is Waring this ring she likes it a lot says it fits very good holds itself in place no adjusting she loves the bling in the diamonds
I love this tiny ring set,so cute doesn't get in the way with work or play.have it a year now and still gleams,the right price too
i returned the item for something department. the size of the diamond was very small, almost non-existent. and the clarity was not there.I had a 1//4 carat ring before and you can see it there was no comparison.i know this one is smaller but really no words to explain how little this ring met my expectations!!!
We appreciate you taking the time to write a product review. we have verified the scale images accurately represent the item. Thank you for shopping with us
Thought this ring was beautiful in the picture!! Got it in the mail and was very unimpressed... The ring was MUCH smaller than the picture, the bands of the ring are EXTREMELY thin, and the band didn't even fit to the actual engagement ring. I wore it for a split second and felt like if I did anything I would bend or break the ring... Returned immediately..
We appreciate you taking the time to write a product review. we have verified the scale images accurately represent the item. Thank you for shopping with us
Ring is as described, but is very small. Would not recommend to any friends wanting a new ring.
The ring is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend it to any woman. I've received numerous compliments about the set. The price of the diamond ring set wasn't bad either; I bought the ring with an added discount. I'm very happy with the ring set and have worn it every day since I received it. The ring is petite and finely made. The cut and design of the ring gives it a very nice look. Overstock, keep up the great work. I have found your products to be of high quality; and when I've had a problem, it has always been resolved easily and quickly. Your prices can't be beat! I've seen the same jewelry in stores in the mall that are twice the cost. Thanks for providing the regular Joe an opportunity to have some of the finer things in life without having to give our lives for it.
I don't know about the quality of this ring because it hasn't got here yet. It was due here today through USPS and nothing, BUT I got another package here that I ordered long before I ordered this set. Very irritated right now.
I bought this ring for my girlfriend when it was one of the daily deals. The quality is good, stones are small but shiny, overall .. it really worth the price. Size is perfect, silver material, marked, it comes in a nice ring box ... I would definitely recommend it. PS: Shipping to EU was very fast ... just 6-7 days. Thanks Overstock!
I did read all the reviews before buying this ring set but it still didn't prepare me for how shockingly tiny it is. I was very disappointed when I received it because the stones were practically non-existent; it didn't really look like the picture. Also, i followed what i read in the reviews and ordered a size up. Big mistake!!! Now i'm stuck with a wedding ring set that's too big for my finger. All that being said, the most striking thing about this ring set is the uniqueness of the design and after getting over my initial disappointment, I'm loving the rings as the daintiness of it compliments my very small fingers; and I'm getting loads of compliments too! I love it so much now that I plan buying the same ring in 14 carat gold.
My fiancee and I are getting married on a budget and I just wanted something nice to put on my finger to signify that I am married. It is much smaller than it seems on the screen. However, it is a nice starter ring for the price. I will be keeping my ring as a keepsake for my daughter, either for her 13th or 16th birthday, or as a "something old" for her wedding day. The shipment of the ring I was especially pleased with!!! It was very easy to track online and was delivered one day before its projected date!! I am also glad that I ordered my ring a size bigger as recommended by the website, because the fit was perfect!!!!
are you able to ship these rings in Africa.i have loved these products.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? good
- How accurate was the sizing? not accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent

This system was a breeze to set up and install with clear and consice instructions. The image quality in daylight is awesome and the night vision is very good. The software makes it very easy to set up and the options for camera setup and recording are perfect for the homeowner.
So far, so good. I've had it for 2 weeks now. I haven't used the on-line or motion detection features but the hard copy manual that comes with this seems straight forward. I have it running four cameras. It replaced a Clover system which cost more and had problems from the start. The night vision is only good for a few feet in total darkness but these are all that way. They work fine at night on a lighted area. This powers a monitor all day with a four split screen. It works on a TV and also a computer monitor. The best way to operate it is with a mouse (included) and on screen menus. These are intuitive. You can copy recordings to a thumb drive should the need arise.
Great for price. Setup instructions need work. Can't setup wifi and smart phone unless you call tech support. Called them 3 times and finally have the system operating the way I want. Overall it's great for the price. Lets see how long it last.
My husband was asaulted by my front neighbor on black Friday since that day we were taking turns sleep at night because him and his brother threaten to destroy our home with handgranaides. We decided to buy this product to be able to sleep a little better at night,, "boy!," did it helped us big time . We were able to record the different vehicles and men who were being sent by the neighbors to intimidate us so we would not prss charges. We find our selves broke but at ease in our home now. I strongly recomend this product it could save ur life.....
Thank you, Elvia
The product performs as stated. Be prepared to go to Radio Shack for needed cables to meet your needs. Cables are provided with good measure with the cameras but from DVR to Video they are lacking. A call to tech service for a final check on your installation will be needed and recommended.
Tech service is average and usually out of the country. A modem connection is needed in the long run. I used VGA cable (like monitor connections) and it worked well. My monitor is for customers to see that the place is being recorded, it works well.
All and all, once you give yourself time to set everything up and understand how things work, which takes time, you will find it a good purchase for a two cameras, capable to handle 4 cameras, and work well. So far so good for me.
You will need to call tech support to set up viewing on your smart phone or computer via the internet. It is a little complicated, but tech support will walk you through it easy enough. The cameras are just "ok" for night viewing.
Installation of cameras and hiding wires was the time consuming part (to be expected). On one camera, I needed an additional 60 foot of cable to wrap around the exterior of the house, so I didn't have to drill holes and go thru non-accessible spaces. I didn't have time to ship one in and the local stores did not have, but found a compatible cable w/adapter at Radio Shack and got it installed that same night. YOU MUST HAVE A MONITOR HOOKED UP TO THE DVR to set the date/time, record functions, etc. We are a house of laptops and I-Pads, with no home unit/monitor, so our system was hooked directly into the router. I could not set any functions from these "remote" units thru the Internet, so I ran a video cable to our bedroom TV and used the system remote control to do the setup. This turned out to be nice because we can lay in bed and check the exterior of the house when we hear noises. I also go out of town and it's nice to keep an eye on things. Cust Serv is helpful and almost a must if you want "easy" instructions and not have to read over and over though they have Australian hours.
It was simple to hook up, moderately difficult to setup (for most people), I have not contacted technical support, so I cannot comment on that. As far as the difficulty in setting up, that is to be expected with networking, and if you don't know anything about networking, I am sure you may have to call technical support. I have setup everything except the "web" interface, and I am very satisfied. I have motion detection setup, and I can use my phone to view the cameras in real time, which is all I needed at this time. The motion detection area setup per camera is a great feature. Overall, with the price paid for what this system can do, this system gets an excellent rating from me.
The front of our house and street has kicked up a lot lately. It makes me nervous to hear all of the commotion going on (doors slamming, cars idle forever, tires squealing). So even though I cringed at shelling out the bucks, I bought this system for the front of our house to keep an eye on things. I have no knowledge of how to set up a home security system so I went with a kit type of set up. This 'kit' comes with everything you need and I thought it was very easy to install and set up. We happened to have an older computer sitting around, so we used that monitor. It says you can also use one or two t.v.s . It comes with two cameras and they are pretty good. I can definitely see where you could get hooked and want more from these cameras as they only have night vision to 32 feet and no sound. For what we wanted they are fine. I did have to move them from being attached to our house to up in the trees closer to the street for a better picture.
The internal options give you the ability to set the motion detector to certain parts of the frame and certain sensitivity if you like. This worked out great because I was able to block out the areas where the bushes blow in the wind, but keep the sidewalk and street. I ended up bringing the sensitivity setting down so it wouldn't record every bird that flew by.
This system gives me peace of mind and of course that's priceless. I can't see incurring a monthly bill for security, especially when there are great systems like this one. Even if I upgraded the cameras, it wouldn't mean a monthly pay out.
Also this system is capable of connecting to your internet modem and providing updates/alarms to your phone or tablet. I have not yet tried this option so I can't speak to that.
The DVR has a great capacity and of course if you do catch anything illegal you have it in digital form and can email to TPTB.
I would recommend this to the novice homeowner who wants to know what's going on outside.
I can tell you I slept like a baby knowing this system was recording all night long for us.
Total waste of money. 1 cable was defective, missing a connector. One 60 foot cable was 45 feet long. DVR did not work when I tried to start it up. The final insult was when I called Swann and I was told that to get longer cables I had to go to Radio Shack online to order them. I had it 4 hours and returned it for a refund.
First off, the cords are not hidden, as it shows in the picture and there is not detail about this in the information about the system. Second, the "night vision" does not go anywhere near 32 feet, without having some kind of light. Third, the customer service at Swann is ridiculous. They do not know what they are talking about and cannot help you set up anything. And fourth and final problem I found with this system (which in turn has made me never want to buy anything Swann again), is that it says you can set up the system so you can view your cameras from your smartphone or another computer outside of the home but, it won't do it and the CSR at Swann don't know how to do it. I would not recommend this to a friend or family member. I wouldn't want them to get jipped.
it is a great product but the price in the store was not the same as online and was a pain to return the store bought one and order online version
Set up was supper easy the picture quality is great in the day the night vison is limited to about 20 feet with good picture quality
I have only had this system a little over a week but it seems to work just fine. It was very easy to set up and it records as it should. I called customer service for a bit of technical support and was very pleased with the experience. I was only on hold a few minutes before a very courteous and knowledgeable staff member answered. I was quite impressed with the call. You certainly can't beat the price of this system and the value received. The cameras are basic with resolution on the blurry side but acceptable for simple monitoring of areas. I used the motion detection mode and it worked flawlessly. I have not configured the remote access due to security concerns with Universal Plug and Play vulnerability. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone wanting a simple starter surveillance system. Bravo Swann!
Product came quickly and well boxed. The assembly is extremely easy unless you run it through the attic as I did. Still wasn't too bad except for having to crawl around in confined and dusty spaces. Did the drop down in a closet so that was pretty simple, Probably had it up and running in 2 hours. Picture quality is pretty good for entry level cameras, falls off a little at night. The cameras are probably more useful for the entry points into the house than for wider angles. I like that I can watch on my laptop via wifi connection! I'm recording in alert mode with motion detectors. I am very happy with the purchase and I'm going to get a couple more cameras.
For the price it is a good system. I only use the recorder to monitor so I have no comment on the phone or email options.
After reading the reviews from other people and seeing the images the camera captured, I was surpirsed to see it was not what I expected. I did some other research after purchasing this product that was so well rated and discovered the cameras are best used in small rooms or hallways....The camera angle is so narrow you would need numerous cameras to capture a large area outside....
I have only had the cameras for a few weeks they are great for keeping an eye on things they cover a big area and the picture is clear. I would recommend to anyone that wants to keep an eye
on things. It is a great price for what is in the bundle you have everything you need.
Great item for the money.
Replay alittle slow but does work.
Record and all features work as expected.
Connections alittle touchy but will connect if pressed tight.
It serves the purpose for watching your house and property. Can watch on monitor to see what is going on outside and to see if it is safe to go out. Love it.

The effect of two tree species, karité (Vitellaria paradoxa) and néré (Parkia biglobosa) on soil condition, development and production of cotton, sorghum and pearl millet, main crops in South Mali, has been investigated.
The soil under the trees is slightly richer (organic matter content and several cations) compared to adjacent tree-less sites. Also tree-specific effects exist.
Soil enrichment, however, is mainly a matter of redistribution of locally available nutrient resources.
Of the six associations studied, only karité-cotton shows no tree-induced reduction in crop production. All other associations suffer greatly from reduced crop outputs caused by the trees, usually in the order of 60%.
There are at least two reasons that explain tree-induced yield reduction. Because of increased humidity in the immediate surroundings of trees, in both soil and air, lower numbers of crop plants survive up to maturity, presumably because plants are attacked by fungi. Secondly, crop plants that mature show reduced output because of inter-specific competition for light and nutrients.
In case of néré, in order to minimize the trees' negative influence lopping is advised. Such practice, however, is less suitable in case of karité, because of its assumed lower potential to regenerate, as compared to néré.

A 27-year-old Feilding man who drowned while swimming with
friends at Himatangi Beach was believed to be swimming
outside the flags.
Police found the body of Jarrett Simeon about 100 metres from
the Himatangi Surf Life Saving Club just before 6am today
after he drifted away from a group of friends while swimming
about 2.30 yesterday afternoon.
Himatangi Beach Holiday Park owner Dennis Penney said the
beach was patrolled by the surf club, and had flags, but he
understood Mr Simeon had not been swimming between them.
It was about the third drowning he knew of in the 10 years he
had lived in the beachside community.
He described the beach as not very deep.
"It runs very shallow, but there can be rips out there at
times," he said.
"It's not like [Auckland's] Piha or somewhere, but there is
rips just about anywhere you go."
The beach could be driven on, with many people making day
trips to the beach.
"You can drive onto the beach ... if you go down there, as
far as the eye can see north and south you'll see cars. It's
just absolutely loaded."
Mr Simeon had been swimming with his partner and friends.
The large search included surf life savers from Himatangi,
Foxton and Kapiti, with two vessels from the Manawatu Coast
Guard, the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter and a
helicopter from Heli Pro.
Mr Simeon's death had been referred to the coroner.

Here are instructions on installing Cygwin and Geomview under Microsoft Windows. Cygwin's own installer instructions will get you started.
Cygwin has now transitioned from Insight Tcl to the Tcl/Tk used in usual unix-like distributions. SaVi 1.4.6 and later support this change.
Note: the Cygwin developers made major changes to their X server distribution in November 2008. Prior to those changes, Cygwin's X server supported hardware acceleration, and Geomview use was robust and reliable. After those changes, robustness, reliability and hardware acceleration have suffered. You can launch geomview with
geomview -noopengl (or configure before compiling without specifying
--with-opengl) for slow reliability. In April 2016 OpenGL broke, but was fixed in an update to
At this point, it is preferable to run VirtualBox, install a debian-based Linux such as Ubuntu from a downloaded ISO disk image, then
sudo apt-get install geomview (which is also in the Synaptic package manager) and install the Debian/Ubuntu SaVi package. Do turn on 3D acceleration in VirtualBox.
Questions about installing Geomview under Cygwin can be taken to the Cygwin and Geomview users mailing lists.
These instructions are primarily for 32-bit Cygwin. Note that Cygwin and its packaging system is ever-changing. These instructions attempt to be useful, but may not reflect recent Cygwin changes. Corrections are welcome.
64-bit Cygwin, introduced in March 2013, is much newer, and has some differences. In August 2013, OpenGL did not work on 64-bit Cygwin, and SaVi and Geomview could not communicate under 64-bit Cygwin. 32-bit Cygwin is preferable. You can build on 64-bit Cygwin by using the replacement instructions:
MOTIFLIBS='-lDtPrint -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE'
but expect problems. 32-bit Cygwin is more reliable.
./configure --with-motif=/usr --with-opengl=/usr CPPFLAGS="-DglBindTextureEXT=glBindTexture -DglDeleteTexturesEXT=glDeleteTextures"
byacc (only if you're a developer planning on building from Geomview's CVS repository.
ln -s /usr/bin/byacc /usr/bin/yacc)
flex (for developers)
gcc-g++ (cc1plus is used)
libiconv (only needed for xforms 1.0.91)
zlib-devel and source (optional for both Geomview and SaVi)
opengl (if building with OpenGL, if available)
libGL-devel and source (only needed for xforms)
libjpeg-devel and source (only needed for xforms)
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended and
texlive-collection-latex for fonts necessary for documentation. Fortunately, the pdf documentation is now built after the geomview binary is, so you're not completely at the mercy of your TEX install.
tcl-tk and source (needed for some Geomview modules and for SaVi.)
texinfo-tex for
texi2dvi - you may have to set
libGLU-devel and source (if building with OpenGL)
libX11-devel and source - also needed for Tcl/Tk and so for SaVi.
libXm-devel and source - this provides the needed
Xm/Xm.h. (
libXm2 is no longer used.)
motif (this has replaced the alternative
lesstif for Motif support)
xinit (which loads in all the necessary
xorg server components as dependencies)
xterm for terminal sessions.
tcl-tk libraries for use with SaVi. These libraries are also used by other Geomview modules. Although SaVi does not require X itself, the tcltk libraries that it depends on do, so you will also need to install
libX11-devel, as noted above, if it has not already been installed, in order to compile SaVi with Tcl/Tk.
startx in the cygwin window to launch the X server. This will load a new Cygwin icon into the system tray at the bottom right of the screen, in the Windows taskbar. Right-click on that icon and select System Tools/Xterm to bring up an xterm window that you can now use to type all commands in. (If the
startx command fails, try
xinit -- -multiwindow.)
mkdir working
cd working
C:\cygwin or
C:\cygwin64, and your unix home directory is
/home/username (or
C:\cygwin\home\username on 32-bit cygwin). The Windows filesystem is accessible from Cygwin under
/cygdrive/c etc.)
and save a copy in the geomview directory. xforms requires
libjpeg-devel and
libXpm installed. Unpack this with e.g.:
xinit -- -multiwindow -clipboard for better integration with Windows.)
Though SaVi could be ported to Microsoft Windows and use a native Tcl/Tk interpreter there, there is no native Geomview for Microsoft Windows, so SaVi would have to be modified to output to a different 3D renderer or directly to OpenGL. Cygwin lets SaVi and Geomview run in the Microsoft Windows environment.
These instructions are based on original instructions and work by Matthias Foehl and advice from Belinda Marchand, Will Wray and Brad Barber, with thanks.

I'm using a child theme to Twenty Eleven and somehow the update to WordPress version 3.3.2 seems to have broken the custom menu. The standard menu is showing up just fine (it is enabled at the moment), but whenever I select one of the menus I created, the space where the navigation should be is empty.
Any idea how to fix this or any other info you guys might need?

To implement high-speed panoramic unwrapping of high-resolution catadioptric omnidirectional images on field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a novel design technique of pipeline architecture is proposed, named a `series-parallel pipeline'. Based on the strategy of `block prefetching', catadioptric omnidirectional images are divided into image blocks before loading into the pipeline. Multiple functional sub-modules are copied to carry out the relatively time-consuming steps in parallel whereas fewer sub-modules or only one sub-module is created to carry out those less time-consuming steps. The number of copies is determined by the proportion of execution time of each step, and several neighbouring basic units are combined to form a `unit package' before loading into the pipeline. The basic units in one `unit package' are processed in series while carrying out the less time-consuming steps, but processed in parallel while carrying out the more time-consuming steps. A hardware pipeline design of series-parallel architecture is implemented on Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA, which is able to unwrap one catadioptric omnidirectional image with size 1024 × 1024 into one cylindrical panorama with size 3200 × 768 at 12.480 ms per frame when the system clock is 100 MHz.

Director: Iron
Company: Kick Ass Pictures
Cast: Lexxi Rippa, Camilla (I), Kelly Wells, Cuntre, Chrissy Tyler, Byron Long
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
A pleaser for interracial fans who like new talent and cum oozing from pussies.
From what Cuntre and Tone Capone say, there's nothing quite like new talent. According to the boys, newbies are high maintenance cuties full of themselves and enforcing their many sexual boundaries. In the case of super sassy Chrissy Tyler, that enforcement includes a considerable amount of grumbling and the possibility of refusing to do her scene at all. Nonetheless, when push comes to shove, she winds up on her knees begging for more. Kelly Wells, on the other hand, adores black guys and it shows in how she approaches their cocks. Quiet Camilla looks great while Byron Long fills the quiet with hot and sensitive patter. Lexxi Rippa likes money and men, and looks adorable as she overcomes her nervousness about fucking strangers.
Nearly seven minutes of DVD outtakes provide entertaining background information about the behind the scenes personal drama involved in copious newbie boundaries.

Amy Henderson: That's The Way It Was: Remembering Walter CronkiteRoundup: Talking About History
Amy Henderson is the National Portrait Gallery's cultural historian.
Who do you trust?
In 1972, an Oliver Quayle Research survey reported that CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite was the "most trusted man in America"—more trusted than anyone else in public life, although, that's not including such 1970s pop stars as Cher or Paul Newman.
Trust. Today, it is an eye-popping notion that a network newsperson would have that kind of status. How many of us even watch nightly network news? The Pew Research Center for Excellence in Journalism reports that between 1980 and 2011, the three commercial networks lost 28.4 million nightly news viewers, or 54.5 percent of their audience. Does Swanson still make TV dinners? Do people even know what a Swanson TV dinner is?
The man embraced by postwar audiences as "Uncle Walter" is the subject of historian Douglas Brinkley's new biography, Cronkite. It is a richly detailed chronicle of a media figure who both personified his era and who radiated an unblinking authenticity in years before "trust-but-verify" became the nation's cultural watchword.
