I'm using Assignment Desk and Edit Flow.
I created a user Editor with status "Editor" and a user Contributor with status "Contributor". Editor creates a post and sends an assignment request to Contributor which he approves. Now Contributor would like to work on his post assignment that got created by Editor. But he can't since he is not the original author. Editor can't change the author. How can Contributor work on his post assignment when he only has the rights to view it but not to edit it?
Please help.

The head of the World Jewish Congress Monday pressed the German government to publish an inventory of a recently discovered vast trove of art looted by the Nazis.
Ronald S. Lauder told Die Welt daily that time was of the essence with possible heirs now elderly and that "injustice" would continue as long as clarity was lacking.
"The German government must show these pictures," he told the newspaper, calling for the immediate compilation of an inventory to be published on the Internet.
"Valuable time has been wasted. Neither the possible claimants nor possible witnesses in the return process are getting younger," Lauder said, adding his voice to calls for a complete list to be published.
"Injustice will not be removed but continued so long as there is no clarity created about the owners."
And he warned that if nothing happened "we will raise the pressure".
Despite mounting calls, German prosecutors have refused to publish a full inventory of the works, citing a need for more time to fully catalogue them and for discretion in their probe.
The more than 1,400 artworks found last year stashed in the Munich flat of Cornelius Gurlitt include masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse and Renoir along with previously unknown works by modernist painters Marc Chagall and Otto Dix.
The case only came to light last week in a magazine report.
Gurlitt is the son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, a powerful Nazi-era art dealer and collector who acquired the paintings in the 1930s and 1940s.
Hildebrand Gurlitt had been tasked by the Nazis with selling works looted from Jewish collectors or seized as part of a crackdown on avant-garde, or what the Nazis termed "degenerate art" in exchange for hard currency.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert has called for openness in the case, while stressing that the prosecutors were responsible for the probe.

Callander Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme
Callander Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme closed on 31 March 2014.
Its aim was to maintain and restore the historic character of Callander's conservation area, attracting more visitors to the area and boosting the economy. Funding of £500,000 was secured from Historic Scotland and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority to run the scheme until March 2014. Projects worth a total value of £1,184,000 have been delivered with grant aid from cars and partnership funding from Stirling Coundil, the British Geological Survey and property owners.
The conservation area covers the older parts of Callander around Leny Road, Leny Feus, Main Street, Bridgend and Bracklinn Road.
Funding was used to:
- Restore important and historic parts of Callander's Conservation Area
- Offer grants to owners or tenants of historic buildings in the Conservation Area
- Bring vacant historic floor space back into use
- Promote awareness of the built environment in Callander
- Ensure that traditional rural skills are not lost

Excellent work and a truly beautiful model but Im not sure the angle and the shadow do much for her nose! Makes it look very large.
r u freaking kidding me.
I cant say that I think hat is a very large nose.
this is awesome a click, lighting could have been used on the rare end of the model to accentuate the curve of bum Rest every thing is great
great model!!who is she?
You're doing some great work. Can't believe the quality.
this is my choice for charley's match. seeing these two beauties go at in a stage fight would be totally erotic.
Great work. Any idea what the models name was
Wow this is truly a body to die for...
Would love her posing for me...
Great photo Mike...
Would love her posing for me...
Great photo Mike...
Very beautiful!
oo yesss
Love the texture, but I think her head could be turned more toward the camera as the shadow makes her head look thinner than it actually is. Great piece though...she's a stunner.

A very pleasant RV Site, located right on the river. The sites are large with all the services. We really enjoyed our stay. - Jim Barrett
Jul 2015 - $30.00
Park is on the banks of the Bulkley River - no beach unfortunately. Level sites either all grass (interior) or grass and gravel parking around perimeter. Quiet and restful park setting.
Washrooms had one roll-in handicap shower. Showers were included.
We stayed three days because WiFi was so good - got our blog updated, uploaded lots of pictures and compressed) Utube videos with No problems. - DCM/JMB
Jun 2015 - $1.00
The campground is in a park on a pleasant grassy open field surrounded by forest next to raging river. There is one public restroom available to all campers (including a pack of girl guides), but it stayed cleaner than expected. Fellow campers were super friendly folks mostly from surrounding towns taking a holiday. This was a great stopover. - barkingbear

The campground was ok, good space for our unit and full hook ups. The views were great and it was very close to town. The golf course was fun and was greatly discounted for campers. The only two negatives were, there was a lot of junk lying around which looked ugly and was unsafe for children or pets. The other was that it was difficult to turn left out of the campground to go north. The campground staff were friendly and helpful and we would stay there again. - Bill n Marti
Jun 2015 - $23.00
Registration is at the clubhouse. Our site was a grass back-in that took a bit of maneuvering to get level without the use of boards. I found it a bit strange that the pull-throughs were roomier, but only had electric and water. No cable TV, but found 3 different channels off the air. Wi-Fi worked fairly well, but was stretched at times to allow Skype calls. Fairly reasonable rates for the par 3 golf as RVers got a discount on the regular rate. Park is close to town so we would stay here again. - Onemoretrail
Jul 2012 - $27.00
Nice location in the trees by the river. They have both pull-through and back-in sites. They have common utilities for 2 sites which make it very difficult for every other back-in site. The roads are mainly dirt which was dusty while we were there. The Wi-Fi was very strong and fast. The PAR 3 golf was a quite challenging 18 hole course with the river adjacent to several holes. They also have a driving range. We would stay again. - lrp374

It is a smalll park that is neat & clean. So far the Wifi works good. There is no tv service. Only a few pull thru sites so as stated in previous post make a reservation if it is peak season. I will warn you this park is out of town and diffficult to find. Our new Garmin GPS did not recognize the RV park nor the address. If you are coming from Prince George end go through the Town of Smithers, continue past the airport and a distance later you will see only signs stating cabins, RV on the right hand side. The road is across from the Adams Igloo Wildlife Museum. If you pass the rest stop for Glacier View you have missed the park. Coming in from South Hazelton the road to the park is directly after the Glacier View rest area on your left. - petpeople

We were initially planning to stay just overnight, but stayed for 3 nights because the park was so nice and well maintained. Owners live on site and are on task all day. The only downside was 30amp power only, some large potholes upon entering the park and little highway noise. Not objectionable at all. We felt this was an outstanding deal. - Dick & Bev
Jul 2015 - $21.00
This small park is on a Frontage Rd., just off Hwy. 16, so there is some road noise; but it didn't bother us. We had back-in Site #6, with a pretty view of mountain and glacier from our back window. Fairly level, gravel sites, with grass and some trees. Friendly, helpful owners. Only a few big-rig sites; better make a reservation during busy season. We would stay here again. - FranM

The park itself is OK. There are just pads with table and pit. Good luck getting a big rig backed into these sites many a rig had been damaged in this park mine included. You are just one step above boondocking here. - Fulltime RV
Aug 2010 - $25.00
We've stayed in several very nice BC Provincial Parks, and this was by far the worst. The roads and pads are extremely narrow and very dusty. The price was way too high when you could have stayed in town with full hookups and wi-fi for about the same price. The anti generator mentality of BC parks is unrealistic as well. The park fee is not posted at entry, and I was surprised when the attendant said $25. We will never stay here again. - sandstravels
Aug 2009 - $22.00
We camped here in our 45' coach on our way back from Alaska. This park is beautiful, but we have two complaints. It was too tight for our coach, 40' footers and smaller will have no issues, but too tight for us. Also, its a bit too dusty for our liking: gravel sites and gravel roads. There is an excellent beach and good facilities: fire rings, picnic tables, beach, etc. - Tucsonbenz

Pros: level sites, super clean bath and laundry, outstanding cable TV & Wi-Fi, majority of sites back up to scenic river view, free power wash available for vehicles.
Cons: sites could use a fresh layer of gravel. - Poe Dog
Jul 2016 - $24.00
This park is between the highway and the river. The sites are large and easy to get into. There are 2 sewer connections at each site so will accommodate a variety of RV types. They offer 30 and 50 amp and include sewer, water, cable & wifi. There is a free high power pressure wash for vehicles. We used the laundry room and it was spotless. The sites overlook the river: beautiful. The owners are welcoming and very friendly. Note: coming from the east, there is no turn lane so you must cross the highway which can be difficult if lots of traffic. We stayed here twice: on the way to Prince Rupert and also on the way back from Prince Rupert. Would recommend to others. - JoyA
Jul 2016 - $26.00
This has to be the best RV park in British Columbia. We are traveling back to the US after visiting Alaska. All parks thus far, have metered and lousy WiFi service. This RV park not only has free vehicle wash, but an outstanding WiFi and free HD TV reception. The only reason this park is not getting a 10 is due to proximity to Canada hwy 16 and the noise. The sites back up to the Telkwa River and provides beautiful relaxing surroundings. - Medic97

Skip to comments.After Action Report: ANN COULTER ,JIM ROBINSON turn out for Jeffers Dodge's Assembly Run
Posted on 08/05/2006 4:58:44 AM PDT by Avoiding_Sulla
It was a nice turn-out for Jeffers, who's running for the 47th seat to the California Assembly.
When Ann arrived it simply lit up the room. Imagine that! From what I have been told about what Jeffors once did for Ann when she was in a debate in a hostile environment, this was a very nice way for her to have returned the favor.
In attendence also was our Jim Robinson, accompanied by his own retinue. This was one of the few times I've had to speak with Jim in person, but the tumult circulating from the vicinity of Miss Coulter just about made that futile. Yes, it certainly was a nice thing for her to come out for Jeffors.
It was delightful to see Ted Hayes there too. If I got it straight, he's working for Jeffors' campaign. Ann especially seemed delighted to see Ted. I think this was the first time they'd met. Anyone who's ever met Ted knows what a charmer his is, so I'm sure he said just the right thing to her.
I had to leave earlier than most when one of my kids called unexpectedly for me to pick them up from the train station.
Syncro was taking a whole bunch of pictures, so I'm sure he'll post them here after he gets them sorted.
RonDog with some help from Genevieve Peters will provide a better run-down later.
Now where's the pictures?
That's what happens when you start writing at 1 AM, fall asleep at the computer, awaken at 4 AM stiil at the computer, and continue typing.
It didn't occur to me that a particular abrieviation would be a double entendre.
MODERATOR. Please change Assy to Assembly. (Or don't. LOL.)
..go stand in the corner....or go to bed! :^)
Ping! Pictures may show up later.
Waiting for pictures!!!!
bump for pix!
When Ann arrived it simply lit up the room.What a great way to start off an Ann Coulter thread!
Imagine that!
THANK YOU for posting this "after action" thread, Avoiding_Sulla!I will be adding to THIS thread throughout the day -- until Syncro get around to posting the monster "PHOTO" thread.
...until Syncro get around to posting the monster "PHOTO" thread.So, that will be in about a week or two, eh?
Waiting for pictures!!!!While we are waitong for the pictures from Syncro -- and from Buckey and Jeanne, etc. -- here is one from the nice folks over at Reuters:
Sounds like it was a tough experience.
If I ever get to speak with him, should I be afraid?

In attendence also was our Jim Robinson, accompanied by his own retinue......who all arrived in THIS monster:
One can only hope.
That Syncro is pretty dodgy! ;-)
Get this women some donuts quick.Not sure about Ann's needing donuts, but the "wife of 31R1O" certainly needs GLASSES!

It was delightful to see Ted Hayes there too. If I got it straight, he's working for Jeffers' campaign.Actually, Ted is working WITH Jeffers, to help him get elected to the (currently almost totally SOCIALIST) California Assembly, from the 47th Assembly District, which includes Culver City.

To my knowledge, Ted does not work FOR anyone -- except perhaps FOR the Homeless, and FOR our brave men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces...
Rasta Republican
Meet Los Angeles's Ted Hayes. He's black, dreadlocked--and belongs to the GOP.
Thursday, April 28, 2005 12:01 a.m.
LOS ANGELES--Condoleezza Rice and Ward Connerly once epitomized black Republicans in California. But their ilk now also includes Ted Hayes, a social activist and inner-city coach whose billowing robes and dreadlocks don't exactly conjure up an image of the GOP.
More blacks than ever support vouchers and faith-based initiatives, and side with President Bush on gay marriage. Mr. Hayes recently made the transition himself, ending a long journey for this former leftist who founded Dome Village, an outcropping of pod-like homeless shelters along the freeway in downtown Los Angeles.
There are other prominent black Republicans in California, of course, such as syndicated radio host Larry Elder and community relations expert Joe Hicks. But even among these unusual thinkers, Mr. Hayes stands out. He's an intense critic of L.A.'s powerful "black old guard"--Democratic politicians, charity bosses and inner-city preachers who, for a generation, have responded to poverty and illiteracy by demanding government programs and blaming white racism.
Not surprisingly, plenty of people wish pesky black Republicans like Mr. Hayes would just slink away. He has skewered L.A.'s entrenched black leaders as "Negro officials," and he has the street cred to get away with it. As L.A. endured another crisis between black leaders and cops recently, he refused to denounce police for shooting dead a 13-year-old, Devin Brown, after a car chase. Instead, Mr. Hayes's press release faulted black church leaders who, despite their great power, rarely point to the lack of parental responsibility...

You can't fool me...that's LincolnMaybe, but "Julie" (aka Peggy Lipton) sort of looks like Ann, right? :o)

As Gunnar Knapp, economics professor at the University of Alaska in Anchorage, pointed out in his op-ed for the Anchorage Daily News this week, cutting this program at a time when its effectiveness is most apparent is dangerously counterintuitive.

This week we look to the West again, to Alaska and Japan, keeping an eye on the future of Alaska's fishing markets.
It remains to be seen what effect the fallout in Japan will have on Alaska's fishing industry. But for now, Alaska seafood businesses are doing all they can to help the citizens of Japan, the state's largest trade partner.
Last year, Alaska's seafood exports to Japan were valued at $523.4 million, including blackcod, king crab, sockeye salmon and, of course, herring roe.

Earlier this week, the International Boston Seafood Show was bumping.
Although many exhibitors at the show were hailing the wonders of farmed seafood, the aisles also boasted a wide range of wild U.S. products.
The purveyors of the latter may get a second boost from the show, or rather from progress toward a National Seafood Marketing Coalition that took place at events surrounding the show.

Spring is finally starting to peek through the snow banks here in Maine, and that means it's time for the International Boston Seafood Show.
With so much happening on every coast, I am eager to get together with folks from Alaska, the West Coast and the Gulf of Mexico early next week.
The big news on the Gulf Coast this week was that the International Trade Commission upheld tariffs on imported frozen warm-water shrimp.

I wrote recently that some weeks in the news world of U.S. commercial fishing feel overwhelmingly gloomy.
I'm glad to report that sometimes the tide turns and brings with it a steady stream of good news — or at least improving news.
The mood at the Maine Fishermen's Forum last week was the best I've seen in several years. It was a tough year for groundfishermen, no doubt. But on the bright side, the state of Maine has made some efforts to improve conditions for its fleet. Nationwide, overfishing is no longer occurring, and Northeast stocks and quotas are up slightly.

I'm heading north tomorrow morning to set up for the Maine Fishermen's Forum at the Samoset Resort in Rockport.
Though the trade show doesn't start officially until Friday, there is a full day of seminars on Thursday. I'll be presenting on National Fisherman's Profitable Harvest forum in the afternoon in the Rockport Room.
Former gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler will be presenting at the Marketing and Profitability seminar with me on Thursday, and the show's organizers have announced that Gov. Paul LePage will be attending the show on Friday. Friday also offers the opportunity to meet the new commissioner of Maine's Department of Marine Resources, Norm Olsen.

No matter what coast you're on, there is something big happening in fishing this weekend.
Tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 25) thousands of commercial and recreational fishermen will be gathering in St. Petersburg, Fla., for the Fishing Matters to Me rally to protest the Gulf of Mexico grouper closures. The crowd will convene outside of NMFS Southeast headquarters at 263 13th Avenue South.
Also beginning tomorrow, Astoria, Ore.'s Clatsop Community College will again play host to the three-day Fisher Poets Gathering. While the stories of the sea are the biggest draw, the festival includes vessel tours, knot-tying demos, workshops and a silent auction.

In some respects, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill must have looked like a blessing to Dr. Jane Lubchenco and her NOAA colleagues.
Of course, not right away, when no one knew what kind of toll it might take. But after the well was capped and wildlife seemed to have stayed afloat tolerably well, and tourism began to return to the coast, the federal agency ought to have looked upon the spill as a great public distraction from what their left hand was doing in the Northeast.
Just before the gulf spill, fishermen in New England were finally making headway after years of complaints that NOAA's enforcement arm was overzealous in its punitive measures against the fishing industry, from fishermen to a local auction house.

Oftentimes when I talk to people outside the fishing industry, they ask me what the good news is in fishing because I always seem focused on what fishermen are kvetching about.
I would like to say that there always is some form of good news.
But anyone who follows this industry closely knows that we are barraged weekly (and sometimes daily) with stories from around the country about one fleet or another being targeted by one group or another.

After reading an article this week in the Gloucester (Mass.) Times (Catch share group pushes private forum) about a closed-door meeting on New England's catch shares program, I got right on the horn to call the coordinator of the meeting to find out if members of the press would be allowed to attend.
I left a message and quickly received a call back from Jill Swasey at the MRAG Americas New England office, who explained that while the Monday morning workshop is, in fact, invite-only, observers are welcome, including the press.

The "fearless" English rugby team are relishing the
opportunity to play against the All Blacks this weekend and
assistant coach Andy Farrell believes the world champions are
England head into their final autumn test on the back of
narrow defeats to Australia and South Africa but Farrell
thinks his young side can upset the odds and beat New
"They are beatable," Farrell told the BBC, even though it
hasn't happened in 20 matches and the All Blacks haven't been
toppled in an end-of-year tour match in a decade.
"This [England] group is fearless. It could certainly be a
great milestone."
Farrell said he saw enough in the 16-15 defeat by South
Africa last weekend to believe they are on the right track.
Despite New Zealand's daunting record, Farrell said the
England players are in good spirits and relishing the
opportunity to test themselves against the best.
"The discussions this week have been ones that were upbeat
and the players are super-excited about playing against the
best in the world. I would think our boys will see this as a
massive privilege to be involved in at such a time in their
development, to play against a side that is really, really
experienced and has been through a lot and made themselves
one of the best sporting teams at the moment.
"Let's be honest, New Zealand are a fantastic side at the
minute. There aren't many weaknesses throughout. They seem to
be completely in sync and they have grown together as a team.
They are playing some outstanding rugby at the moment.
"They do a lot of things right but they are also vulnerable
in places, there is no doubt about that. You cannot be
exceptional in every single department for the whole 80
"It is up to us to make them have an off day and hopefully be
on song ourselves."

Golf Buzz
Dudley Hart caught the full force of Mother Nature's wrath Thursday in the first round of the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio. Chipping for birdie on the 18th hole, his ball is stopped by the wind and then rolls almost all the way back to its original location.
GOLF RULES: What if the wind blows your ball into the hole?
Remember, the wind was gusting at or above 30 mph at the time and it didn't help that the green is severely sloped.
It's really almost too difficult to describe without the video:
The most amazing thing is how Hart seems unfazed, steps up and drills the putt into the center of the cup for an unlikely par from 38 feet.
LESSONS: Five tips for conquering the wind
Cheyenne Woods -- niece of 14-time major champ Tiger Woods -- is playing in the LPGA's Kia Classic this week.
On Wednesday, the LPGA posted this slow-motion video of Cheyenne's swing. And, well, it's a thing of beauty.

Posted by LPGA on Wednesday, March 25, 2015
As some commenters noted, it looks similiar to her uncle's swing from the early 2000s.
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Md., announced Thursday that Tiger Woods is the first individual donor to the school's scholarship fund that will honor the memory of the late Dr. Charlie Sifford.
RELATED: Sifford receives Medal of Freedom | Tiger: Sifford a trailblazer
UMES issued a release on the donation, which read in part:
Woods' personal gift of $10,000 will launch the Sifford Fund, which UMES is creating to "provide need-based scholarships to highly talented students who demonstrate a passion for the game of golf... and who are from populations underrepresented in the golf industry."
UMES is the nation's lone historically black university that offers a bachelor's degree in professional golf management accredited by the PGA of America (PGA.com profiled the school in 2011).
"The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is honored to accept this generous gift from Tiger Woods to support our professional golf management program and to partner with us in acknowledging Dr. Sifford's role as a sports pioneer," UMES President Juliette B. Bell said.
Sifford, who broke professional golf's color barrier in 1961, died at the age of 92 on Feb. 3.
MORE SIFFORD: Check out our #ThanksCharlieSifford page | Sifford photo gallery
Sifford and Woods were very close. After his death, Woods wrote to the Associated Press in an email, "It's not an exaggeration to say that without Charlie, and the other pioneers who fought to play, I may not be playing golf. My pop likely wouldn't have picked up the sport, and maybe I wouldn't have either."
Woods has also referred to Sifford as, "The grandpa I never had."
Back in November 2014, Sifford -- a two-time winner on the PGA Tour and the 1975 Senior PGA Champion -- was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
The next two weeks on the PGA Tour provide us with a tournament within a tournament.
First, this week, the Valero Texas Open takes place at TPC San Antonio. The top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking come Sunday night -- if not already exempt -- will lock up their respective invitation to the Masters in two weeks. The winner -- also if not already exempt -- will head to Augusta National as well.
Then, next week, the Shell Houston Open is the final chance for players not otherwise exempt for the Masters to punch a last-minute ticket. That will require a win.
RELATED: Texas Open tee times | Cancer strengthens PGA friends bond | Masters bubble | Field
For now, we'll focus on the Valero Texas Open, where Steven Bowditch is the defending champion. The field features 13 major champions, including Phil Mickelson, Jason Dufner and 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III.
Here are five players to watch.
5. Ben Curtis
Best finish in 2014-15 season: T29 at Sanderson Farms Championship
Reason to watch: Curtis will be the first to admit that it hasn't exactly been a season to remember to this point. He's missed the cut four times in six starts, including the last three in a row. The last time he made a cut resulted in a T44 at the OHL Classic back in the middle of November. I'm just taking a chance on Curtis this week. Something's got to give. He won the event in 2012, so he has familiarity and past success to draw on. Things need to turn around for the former British Open champ, so why not this week? He's one of those guys who will need a win to make the Masters.
4. Ryan Palmer
Best finish in 2014-15 season: T2 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open
Reason to watch: It's hard to believe that this three-time Tour winner hasn't won more. He seems to be in contention an awful lot, but just has a problem closing out. It would mean everything to this native Texan to win in the Lone Star State. Palmer tied for ninth in the Texas Open in 2010. Palmer is already in the Masters, so I want to see him firing at pins this week and letting it all hang out.
3. Zach Johnson
Best finish in 2014-15 season: 7th at Hyundai Tournament of Champions
Reason to watch: Johnson is a former two-time champion of this event. However, those wins came in 2008 and 2009 when the event was still played at La Cantera. Since the move to TPC San Antonio in 2010, Johnson has played just twice. He missed the cut in 2010 and tied for sixth in 2014. I like Johnson mainly because I always like him in the state of Texas, where he's captured four of his 11 PGA Tour wins. His T9 last week at Bay Hill might have been a little momentum builder for the former Masters champ.
2. Jimmy Walker
Best finish in 2014-15 season: Won the Sony Open in Hawaii
Reason to watch: Yet again, Walker is enjoying another outstanding season -- four top 10s (including a win) in nine starts and no missed cuts. He's established himself as a favorite whenever and wherever he tees it up. A win this week would be his fifth on the PGA Tour and few would be as sweet as this one would come in his home state.
1. Jordan Spieth
Best finish in 2014-15 season: Won the Valspar Championship
Reason to watch: This is Spieth's first start since winning his second Tour event two weeks ago in Tampa. The 21-year-old is establishing himself as a star and it would be sweet to shine again this week in his home state. Notice the theme here? Lots of Texans in the field. Also, Spieth has his sights set on the Masters, where he was a runner up in his first start a year ago. His game -- always consistent -- seems to be peaking at just the right time.
Here's how my five to watch fared at last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational:
5. Henrik Stenson -- 2nd
4. Keegan Bradley -- T49
3. Rickie Fowler -- T29
2. Adam Scott -- T35
1. Jason Day -- T17

Recent changes to bugshttps://sourceforge.net/p/structuredtext/bugs/2007-07-30T21:21:01ZEmbedded URIs don't work as advertised2007-07-30T21:21:01Z2007-07-30T21:21:01ZCharlie Clarkhttps://sourceforge.net/u/userid-488647/https://sourceforge.net953277e7899e3dcc824da5088710f5eac33bd9b5

Hi,

can't find this in any of the submissions. I really like ReST and use it on a website in preference to HTML. However, handling URLs can be a problem as people usually want to work with anonymous URLs such as click here

While explicit use of anonymous targets works fine, embedded URLs do not. According to the documentation the following should work:

`RFC 2396 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt>`__ and `RFC<br /> 2732 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt>`__ together
 define the syntax of URIs.

It does not work. Instead it raises the following error:

Inline interpreted text or phrase reference start-string without end-string.

I can't why the parser is raising this error.
 ` is the start string<br /> and<br /> `__ in the end string so this should be complete

setup.py install fails silently2002-04-02T22:22:51Z2002-04-02T22:22:51ZJeremy Hyltonhttps://sourceforge.net/u/jhylton/https://sourceforge.net1443c9d5e5d539adca7f26ba5a9f0e9550fc6c0b

I did a fresh cvs checkout of restructuredtext. I ran
 setup.py install. It made the usual distutils noises,
 but it didn't leave any packages in my site-packages
 directory.

It created dps and dps/parsers, but neither had an
 __init__.py. Under dps/parsers it installed
 dps/parsers/restructuredtext and that directory had an
 __init__.py -- but no way to get it without its parents
 being packages too.

XML entities2001-08-20T13:51:20Z2001-08-20T13:51:20ZPaul Wrighthttps://sourceforge.net/u/pw201/https://sourceforge.netb3ed1c9beb6b1dc74188b2fb2d7361577a11ff4d

The special characters ampersand, quotes and angle
 brackets aren't turned into the relevant XML entities
 in the XML output. This means that XML parsers (like
 the one in IE) barf on the output.

I'm using ActiveState's ActivePython 2.0 under Win32,
 if that makes a difference.

messy closing of inline literals2001-07-25T05:15:35Z2001-07-25T05:15:35ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.netbf90a190d9ab2553572dc48f44c8696c54a97620

Non-whitespace immediately after the closing quotes of
 an inline literal suppresses recognition of the
 literal. The parser doesn't crash, but it does
 complain.

Example::

``d``c foo

Result (lightly wrapped)::

<document>
 <paragraph>
 ``d``c foo
 </paragraph>
 <system_warning level="1">
 <paragraph>
 Inline literal start-string without
 end-string at line 1.
 </paragraph>
 </system_warning>
 </document>

I think the parser should accept the inline literal
 without complaint, but will settle for it accepting
 the inline literal *and* complaining about the lack of
 whitespace.

This is a good candidate for an *anything but this*
 test case. :)

text after interpreted breakage2001-07-21T09:07:35Z2001-07-21T09:07:35ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.netf534fedc4c1999012fef180c037ffb5a7d1c0f75

The following breaks the parser::

`vase`:hammer

This doesn't::

`vase`: hammer

docstrings2001-07-21T05:54:30Z2001-07-21T05:54:30ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.netd8167305f41d2e3225a01b51ac73c5ea4c947e89

Self-evident:

* We need docstrings.

Not as self-evident:

* Since __version__ is a release version number,
 updated manually, we can't put ``$Revision$``
 in it. On the other hand, it *is* very handy
 to be able to figure out which revision of the
 parser you're using -- especially when you want
 to submit a bug for it.

I propose using either or both of the following
 in modules::

__revision__ = """$Revision$"""

__id__ = """$Id$"""

refactor tests2001-07-21T05:40:28Z2001-07-21T05:40:28ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.netf60062f10204cfc9720791ad8edd1b004137c496

``test_states.py`` is 2607 lines and counting. I
 suspect it's appropriate to:

* put the test suite into its own module,
 * split it up into multiple files within that
 module,
 * have the module's __init__.py export an
 appropriate "test everything" function, and
 * create a stub test script in ``restructuredtext/``
 that does nothing but parse command line arguments
 and then call (wait for it)
 ``dps.parsers.restructuredtext.testsuite.test_all()
 ``.

need new test types2001-07-21T05:33:25Z2001-07-21T05:33:25ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.net8d4d1602160d06202c201891f1263ade48052c56

At the moment we have only one type of test:

**Expect this**:
 Pass if, and only if, the parser produces the
 appropriate output from the supplied input.

Added when either

* someone has verified that the parser generates
 the appropriate output from the supplied input,
 and wants to make sure it stays that way, or
 when

* someone knows that the parser *should* generate
 the appropriate output from the supplied input.

We could probably do with additional types of test:
 [1]_

**Don't crash**:
 Pass if the parser doesn't crash when parsing
 the supplied input.

Added when someone discovers input that crashes
 the parser.

Any passed tests of this type should be changed
 into *expect this* tests. If that hasn't been
 done, either people are falling behind or nobody
 has figured out what the expected output should
 be yet.

**Expect anything but this**:
 Pass if the parser doesn't generate the supplied
 inappropriate output from the input.

Added when the parser is generating bogus output,
 but the expected output isn't known yet (presumably
 because the error text hasn't been determined).

.. _[1] The need is especially strong during these
 early days when both the parser and the spec are
 under flux.

bad footnote labels not caught2001-07-21T05:18:46Z2001-07-21T05:18:46ZGarth T Kiddhttps://sourceforge.net/u/gtk/https://sourceforge.nete16001b98dc6fb2e0f783abd3fbde247d93caaf8

The following constructs break the parser rather than
 generate an error::

.. _[foot label with spaces] text

.. _[*footlabelwithmarkup*] text

I tripped over this one whilst checking to see whether
 leading underscores on a footnote label were an
 acceptable way of indicating that the rendered label
 (and references to it) should be automatically
 numbered.

Mexico's Inflation Faster Than Expected as Banxico Cuts Rate
Mexican consumer prices rose more than economists expected in the first half of October after policy makers reduce interest rates to a record low to revive economic growth.
Prices increased 0.40 percent in the first two weeks of the month, compared with the 0.35 percent median forecast of 21 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Still, annual inflation slowed to 3.27 percent, the slowest pace since January. The central bank targets inflation of 3 percent.
Policy makers will cut the benchmark interest rate tomorrow for a third time this year, according to 24 out of 26 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. While inflation remains above the mid-point of the target range, the government has cut its 2013 growth by more than half.
"This inflation number does not change our view" that the central bank will cut rates, said Benito Berber, a strategist at Nomura Holdings Inc, in an e-mailed interview. "Demand side pressures are non-existent and the economy has not recovered since the September monetary policy meeting."
The peso was little changed at 12.9997 per U.S. dollar at 9:19 a.m. in Mexico City. Yields on fixed-rate government peso bonds due in December 2014 rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 3.55 percent.
Lower Rates
The central bank, after reducing borrowing costs to 3.75 percent last month, will cut its key rate to 3.5 percent tomorrow, according to the median estimate in the Bloomberg survey.
The government last month cut its growth forecast for this year to 1.7 percent as public spending slowed, exports stagnated and hurricanes Ingrid and Manuel devastated crops and hurt tourism. The Finance Ministry initially predicted Mexico would grow 3.5 percent in 2013.
Retail sales and industrial production unexpectedly fell in August from the year earlier, adding to signs that economic weakness from the first half of the year continued in the third quarter.
Energy costs increased 4.21 percent from the second half of September, the most since November 2012. Electricity prices climbed 19 percent, contributing the most to the jump in consumer prices.
Mexico's economic activity, as measured by the IGAE indicator, increased 0.84 percent in August from a year earlier, less than the 1 percent median estimate of 21 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

I Love Resident Evil 6!
on 08.08.2014 (server time)
No no, that number isn't a typo: I really mean I love
Resident Evil 6
. Now, I wouldn't say that it's my favorite
Resident Evil
and it certainly wasn't perfect by any means... but I didn't find it to be the abomination that everyone believes that it was: some people, including Destructoid's own
Jim Sterling
, said that it was akin to a Michael Bay film, with it's copious amount of explosions, setpieces, and enemies to kill... which is pretty much the opposite of what an
Resident Evil
game is
to be: campy and corny, limited ammo, and scarce encounters perfectly placed just outside the camera so, as soon as you round the corner, there's a jump scare waiting to make you shriek out in terror (I'm not a fan of the fetch quest-like mechanic of finding a key, finding the door that it unlocks, and repeating the process, so I'm glad that that's mostly gone).
However, while it was
different from the series, even in the direction
Resident Evil 5[/
was heading in, I honestly thought that this game had some pretty interesting concepts. Sure, it may not have been fully realized, and some of the gameplay mechanics hold it back from being on my list of favorite games... but I enjoyed playing the game so much that I accumulated much playing time on it: it took up the majority of the month that it came out in because I wanted to unlock everything (I
, but I tried)! There are some things about the game that really piqued my interest, and I have to give credit where credit is due, so here's a few thoughts why I think
Resident Evil 6
stands out to me.
Please hold your projectiles until
I made my case: you'd be amazed how hard it is to speak when a tomato flies directly into the crotch of your pants... and that red liquid that splatters is
tomato juice.
Multiple Heroes!
When one's not enough and two is too low...
Everytime there's an announcement of a new entry, the number one thing I look forward to hearing is who will take the lead role: will it be Leon Kennedy, whose sharp skills, a knack for survival, and witty one-liners, have escaladed him from a police officer into becoming a Secret Service agent... or will it be Chris Redfield, who was part of the original S.T.A.R.s team that got stranded in the mansion in the middle of nowehere, if not Jill Valentine, who also managed to elude and take down the monstosity that is the Nemesis? However, when it was announced that
Resident Evil 6
will feature
separate campaigns featuring Leon, Chris, and even Sherry Birkin, the little girl survivor from
Resident Evil 2
(who has a disturbing, but not shocking, amount of hentai, particularly with Claire Redfield), and a
unlockable campaign featuring the lovely femme fatale gal Ada Wong...
that all the stories will intersect with each other, I immediately giggled like a schoolgirl whose sempai has noticed her.
I was slightly disappointed that their partners were a new cast of characters other than an older character though: as hot as Helen is, with her big ol' booty and her unlockable sexy cop outfit that shows off how much leather loves to hug her behind (but still less than I would), I would've loved to see characters like Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and even characters like Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers take their place, especially when the latter two need more exposure for the fan following they have. Still, although some people would prefer quality over quantity, I love to see a game pack in so many notable characters, and I honestly wish that they included more into the campaign by having them involved with the story... or simply there to round out the Mercenaries roll call since
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition
had a much fuller roster, even if the characters only had passing appearances (like my favorite sidekick Josh Stone, or the aforementioned Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers). Besides, while Jake didn't really grow on me, Piers became a frickin' badass (I don't need to mention Helen) and that's cool.
Heart-pounding Moments!
Excuse me fellas: you got a train to catch.
The campaigns themselves were pretty damn memorable: one of Leon's level sets the bar by having you explore an abandoned school, a dark underground subway tunnel, and finishes it with a bang by having you team up with other survivors at a gas station before taking shelter in the gun shop to fend off a zombie horde long enough to catch a ride... but the other campaigns were no slouches either since one of Chris's level has you roaming through China as part of a military team to mow down the new evolved forms of the Las Plagas virus while Jake is being chased across Eastern Europe by a hulking monster that could give the Nemesis a run for his money (and does an admirable "Kool-Aid" man impression by smashing through walls). Sure, the campaign might be the stuff of summer blockbusters and nothing like the original games... but like the vast amounts of
Call of Duty
games I played, each action-packed moment really gives me an adrenaline rush, and that's not even considering some of the more awesome scenes, especially the ending of Chris's campaign or the outbreak in Leon's campaign!
I mean, while some levels brought some really frustrating moments (Ada's helicopter segment is a real chore while one of Leon's late boss encounter is a real bore), there are still some pretty controller-gripping moments generously sprinkled throughout your adventure: fighting a giant dog-like B.O.W. on top of a moving train as it rips through the metal with its newly formed projectiles is a better sight than the city, and riding in mine carts and dodging obstacles while avoiding a slimy, naked woman with sharp spider legs is pretty rad (and sexy)! And some of the parts were genuinely haunting: walking through the previously mentioned subway and seeing the shadows of over a dozen zombies coming at me is pretty frightening... but when I was in the middle of a horde onslaught and you see the bright light attached to a whole lot of metal (bonus points if you get the reference, though I'll admit it's pretty damn subtle), my heart so pounded when a zombie grabbed me in the middle of my escape that I almost had a panic attack!�
Campaign Crossover!
Need a ride?
But my absolutely favorite moments in the game are when the campaigns crossover the same events and intersects with one another: it's pretty entertaining to see these characters meet in the same area under their own circumstances like the "Impossible Trinity"
Grand Theft Auto IV
established with their lead characters. When a television show like
The Simpsons
do these sorts of things, where they'll play out one character's entire day before replaying that same day from someone else, it's pretty cool to watch, and adds a bit of mystery when you don't know how or why that character is here until you play through his perspective and see how he arrived there. While it was frustrating as
(I'd do a sex joke but you probably had enough of that) that Leon and Chris's "meeting" is so disappointing, considering that they only meet
and in a very anti-climatic way for such big stars... the other moments, like a certain character providing sniper support, and the 4 player boss fight that brings me back to the types of encounters
Lost Planet 2
had, pretty much outweighted that one scene.
Speaking of 4 players, while it didn't work as intended in practice, the idea that you could team up with other players was really novel because it was done differently: you not only had to be the same level as someone who's also playing through that same level, but as the other set of characters
must arrive at the certain segment at the same time. So, as an example, when one player enters the area with the crossover, they must be playing as Chris and Piers, and the game tries to match him up with someone at that same segment at the same moment, but as Sherry and Jake. Does it sound like a hassle?
, and I won't deny that... but it kind of makes sense: it's technically a coincidence that the characters in the campaign are meeting up, so the developers translate that same principle to determine how players will meet each other in the online space. Would a standard mission select be better?
Hell yes
(disclaimer: you can pick a checkpoint in a patch), but I do admit that the original idea was interesting. Either way, the crossovers were easily the best parts of the game even when you're playing solo.
Better Control and Mobility
Stop, drop, and roll: works on fires, works on whatever the hell that is.
Okay, let's get this out of the way first: the control are
intuitive, are
user-friendly, and are
damn convoluted for its own good...
(you knew there was gonna be one), once you actually take the time to learn them, you can make you character so agile that you're performing John Woo-styled asskickings (is that a word?). With the quickshot mechanic, your character can immediately pop a shot at the nearest enemy with whatever gun they're holding... so if you have a sniper rifle and you noticed that that zombie suddenly disappears from the scope, you can hit the quickshot command and immediately fire the sniper rifle at the zombie lunging to bite you in the neck (total no-scope too!) This can save your ass because, when the enemy is so close that aiming, despite having a bigger target, is still so slow that actually pulling the pistol up to his body to shoot will be too late... you can, at the very least, stun him enough to pop a bullet to its brain. And some character with certain guns can pull this off very stylishly, such as Helen's Hydra: she flips when you use it, and sometimes give a nice view of her ass.
However, that's just the tip of the iceberg because not only can you sprint in this game (I believe this is a first for the series), but you also can do things from a running shoulder bash to sliding soccer tackle: it's even better when you're holding C4 because then you can slide into a group of enemies, plant the bomb down, and then detonate the explosives when you slide out of range to very cleanly, and very stylishly, take them all out. My favorite thing to do has to be dodging an attack, which I
is impossible in the older games with their tank-styled controls (not counting quick-time events in
Resident Evil 4
and above), and then returning fire: I tell you, quickshotting a zombie with a shotgun, then jumping backwards to avoid the swing of a monster's giant arm, then whipping out your dual pistols mid-flight to unload in his exposed face before rolling on the ground to narrowly dodge his follow-up, is something that Tequila would be proud of. Sure, this isn't the
Resident Evil
we know... but I can't deny that that isn't the stuff of awesome water-cooler moments.
So, that's why I love
Resident Evil 6
, and chances are I know exactly why
hate it... but comment down below and tell me anyway. Would I love for the franchise to continue in this direction? I wouldn't
it, but I do want the series to continue in the direction of the
Resident Evil 5
Lost in Nightmares
: the classic
Resident Evil
feel and atmosphere, but modernized, like how
Bravely Default
reinvigorated the old-school JRPG by reinventing the mechanics while still keeping the integrity of the genre. That being said,
Resident Evil 6
was great, despite the changes they made and the explosions that they added.

Jonathan Edwards
A Life
by George M. Marsden
Yale University Press, $35, 640 pp.
With the possible exception of Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971), Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) must count as the only American theologian who can claim equal (well, almost equal) rank with such greats as John Calvin and Augustine. Son and grandson of Congregational ministers, at thirteen he entered Yale, where he quickly surpassed other students in his mastery of logic, close reading of John Locke and Isaac Newton, and pioneering scientific observations (his study of the behavior and life cycle of spiders is still cited). His reading certainly made clear to him how provincial his religion would look to British sophisticates. Yet, unlike so many bright young men in England, he found in his youthful intellectual and spiritual crisis at Yale a crucible from which he emerged more committed than ever to his faith. Upon graduation, he was convinced that Calvin's view of God's sovereignty was not only viable but the answer to all questions posed by skeptical Enlightenment thinkers.
After a few years of tutoring, Edwards took a position as minister of a Congregational church in Northampton, Massachusetts, and became perhaps the most intense pastor American Christianity has ever known. Rising around four or five in the morning, he usually devoted thirteen hours a day in his study, generally refusing to make clerical house calls or to engage in empty rectory socializing. Far from resembling an ineffectual bookworm, Edwards...

Is it possible to modify the search function so as to direct it at certain pages, rather than the whole site. (I'm using the Jerome's Search and Search Everything plugins.) I want to set up a bunch of pages apart from the rest of my blog and then to set up a separate search function to work on just those pages. In effect, I'm using WP as a makeshift database.
Any suggestions welcome.

NC early voting continues at breakneck pace

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- Another 100,000 North Carolina voters cast a ballot in the second day of early voting, sustaining a breakneck pace that began when polls opened Thursday, elections officials said Saturday.
Braving hours-long lines, voters eager to cast a ballot amid presidential, Senate and governor's races that are too close to call have surged to the polls in record numbers. State Board of Elections figures show that some 214,000 voters have now voted at one-stop sites in North Carolina.
The numbers have clearly favored Democrats. Some 62 percent of voters who have cast a ballot in early voting are registered with the party. Only 22 percent are registered Republicans.
By comparison, about 46 percent of all registered voters in the state are declared Democrats while 32 percent are with the GOP.
Amy Black, 40, of Kernersville, said she's not concerned by the low early turnout of registered Republicans like herself. She plans to early vote next week to beat the lines.
"It's only been two days," she said after attending a rally for Republican presidential nominee John McCain in Concord.
The state GOP cautions that many Democrats and independents in North Carolina where President Bush won by 12 points four years ago may trend to McCain. Voters in the state generally prefer Democrats for state offices and Republicans to hold national seats.
And while Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama pushed voters to the polls on opening day, the Republicans are planning a number of political events in the upcoming week to emphasize the voting option. They've also invested in mail-in absentee balloting.
Elections officials and campaign observers expects that one-third of North Carolina voters could go to the polls before Election Day.
Early voting goes through Nov. 1.

It would be nice to have a better default description that will show up on Google authenticator. Currently it is 'WordPress blog', but if you have more than one WordPress login that is no use. The WordPress.com version automatically gives '[url]: [username]', e.g. 'blogs.com: joe' as the description.
I think its quite a simple fix on line 241 of google-authenticator.php:
$GA_description = __( 'WordPressBlog', 'google-authenticator' );

Fake Perfumes SellerDon't even think to buy from this seller. I bought Nautica Blue for Rs. 1089 and it doesn't even stay for 30 mins. I have asked many people after wearing it but nobody replied positive that they smell the fragrance from 1 feet distance. I feel very bad, will never buy perfumes online again. If you are considering to buy perfumes go to any nearest mall and buy from there.

Just AverageI bought this product with high hopes but as usual, this also failed to sustain my expectations. the fragrance is good but it wont last more than 3-4 hrs. after the said hours, it just vanishes as if was not applied ever...

Smells nice, but fadesHas one of best and alluring smells from a budget fragrance. In my use for the past 4 months, I have got compliments for its fragrance, but fades in 3-4 hours even in AC environment. So remarks stating this to be long lasting were not true. But compared to Cool water which is atleast twice as costly, this lasts long.
