SAN FRANCISCO -- Chris Messina illustrates why Twitter has gotten this far -- and why it faces one of its biggest challenges now that it has gone public.
Messina, who never worked at Twitter and doesn't own any stock, is the guy who came up with the # symbol used to organize tweets about a common subject (#TwitterIPO identifies tweets about, of course, the IPO). And he's not alone -- he's among a cadre of Twitter fans who helped come up the features that define the social media site.
On Thursday, I chatted with Messina about how the company will now balance the needs and interests of its very devoted user base with its need to please a new set of followers: shareholders.
"With outside money comes outside influence, especially people who don't understand social media," said Messina, now head of community and growth at NeonMob, a San Francisco startup, where he went after leaving Google (GOOG).
The fear among passionate Twitter users and developers is that if the company becomes too protective and proprietary of the service, in order to further its business interests, "it may alienate them for good," he said.
All public companies face the challenge of keeping and attracting customers and still making shareholders happy. But Twitter is different. Its users have a unique sense of ownership even if they don't own TWTR shares.
When Twitter's founders haphazardly created the format, they argued about how or why people would use it, according to several recently published accounts of the company's formative years.
But then people took to the platform and helped develop its unique identity. They created Twitter's language of hashtags, the @ symbol and the idea of retweets. They surprised the company by flooding the site during major news events, causing it to crash repeatedly with its famous "Fail Whale" image.
They, to a larger degree than just about any other social media site, helped make Twitter what it is -- a global communications platform used by presidents and pop stars, one where tweets about today's breakfast and tweets about the Arab Spring both find a place.
But starting today, the company has shareholders to please, not just users. That puts the San Francisco company in a tricky position. Its users will be scrutinizing every change, and every change risks mutiny.
So far, it's managed adjustments to the site without serious problems.
But that could change. Take, for instance, the company's decision to offer more media-rich postings like video clips, TV ads and big images in a person's Twitter feed. That may appeal to users -- time will tell -- but it is really appealing to advertisers. And the company will have to make all of its future decisions with both constituencies in mind.
It will be an extraordinarily tough balance. Cyberspace is littered with companies that didn't get it right -- hello, MySpace! -- and examples of companies that did.
Google's home page is probably the most expensive piece of real estate in cyberspace -- but it's not for sale at any price. Its founders have made the choice to sacrifice short-term profits for the long-term interests of its users and the value of its brand.
What choice will Twitter's executives make? (And remember, Google has an unusual share structure that gives Larry Page and Sergey Brin control of the company, so they can worry less about Wall Street. Twitter doesn't have this cushion.)
A New Hampshire native who came to Silicon Valley after attending Carnegie Mellon University, Messina was a social media consultant when he suggested using the hashtag symbol, At first, it did not take off. But eventually, hashtag use picked up, first during the San Diego fires of 2007 and then by political leaders during a battle in Washington, D.C. Now the hashtag is a key part of the Twitter language.
Messina is optimistic about the company's future and what the IPO signifies. "So long as Twitter protects the integrity of its brand, continues to fight for being an open platform to all comers, and strives for it to be defiantly inclusive, it should do fine, post-IPO," he said.
The danger is that the more Twitter tries to appease the quarterly demands of Wall Street, the more it risks losing the passionate following of developers and innovators it has attracted.
The company should celebrate today's success. It's earned it, and it has its users to thank. But after today, the really hard work starts.

WASHINGTON (January 11, 2013)—U.S. House Speaker John Boehner Friday invited President Barack Obama to deliver the State of the Union speech on Feb. 12.
In a letter sent Friday, Boehner says the country faces immense challenges, and Americans expect the Congress and White House to work together on solutions.
Boehner said cooperation will require a "willingness to seek common ground as well as presidential leadership."
The Ohio Republican said the president can present his plan and specific solutions at a joint session of Congress in the House chamber.
Last year, Mr. Obama delivered the State of the Union speech on Jan. 24.

Negative Light on Polk County
Published: Monday, June 24, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 23, 2013 at 10:45 p.m.
Once again, Polk County is in the national spotlight.
I received calls from friends and family up North asking, "Now what is going on in Polk County?"
They were referring to the latest national news story about the Lakeland Police Department's "bra-shaking" incident.
Polk County has been the butt of jokes before, but I find it highly insulting that our Police Department would be the cause of such bad publicity.
OK, now we have the "bra-shaking" incident, and then there was the "cat-and-mouse game."
Wasn't Bradley McGee enough?

Despite the predictable picture of a wedding—the motifs, flowers, cuddly crew of children and dad's melancholic eyes—it is as personal as it gets, an individual crossing over to her newfound life. Only you really know why this day came into being, a journey that started the day your heart knew you had found him or her. This individuality, the person choosing to be, is celebrated in every Furrer Jacot wedding and engagement ring. The brand has been crafting individualized bridal jewelries for 150 years now. Crafted in time-tested Swiss techniques and precision-set using state-of-the-art technology, a Furrer Jacot lends a unique brilliance to every wedding and engagement. The quality starts at sourcing out authentic precious raw materials. Premium platinum, gold and palladium alloys are then compressed for fissure-free density to create a perfect fit. Only highly-skilled jewel-setters fix the high-grade diamond that gives each Furrer Jacot that individual signature of rich, sparkling glow. Moreover, each piece is inscribed with a unique serial number that, not only lends individuality, but affords better chances at recovery should you misplace it. Furrer Jacot is also renowned for excellent service standards, strictest ethical practices and excellent wearing comfort.
Shreve is an authorized dealer for Furrer Jacot.

IMSLP:File formats
On this page you can find some information on the file formats used in IMSLP. If you want to download the PDF file of the score you're currently looking for, you clicked the wrong link. Please go back and click on the score description to retrieve the PDF.
These are the only file formats IMSLP accepts for scores. Raw image files, whether loose or ZIPped, will be removed.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is the main type of document used here on IMSLP for music scores. To view PDF files, download one of the recommended clients:
- Foxit PDF Reader - A free PDF reader. This is the recommended PDF reader for IMSLP; the official Adobe PDF reader is considerably slower.
- PDF Creator - Printer driver that lets you print to PDF (Windows only).
- PDF Split and Merge - A graphic Java program which allows you to merge/split PDF files. More information on this program can be found here. Recommended for PDF manipulation.
- PDFtk - A command-line program which allows you to merge/split PDF files, among a list of other things.
For Ubuntu users who browse the web with Firefox, click here to install Mozplugger. Mozplugger embeds the Evince PDF Reader (among other things) inside Firefox. Evince is installed by default, but you can make sure by clicking here.
For Mac (OS X) users, creating PDF files is possible without additional software. A tutorial can be found here.
Note: Mac users should not use Preview to open pdf files. Preview is not able to display some of the files on IMSLP correctly.
Related Pages
IMSLP allows users to upload the source files (.sib, .mus, .ly, etc., or interchangeable formats like MusicXML and MEI) of their own typesets. All of the relevant files should be archived in a single ZIP. Each source file must also be uploaded separately in PDF format. Isolated ZIP files will not be accepted, nor will loose notation files. Note that this is the only permitted use of the ZIP format.
To extract files from a ZIP file, you can use one of the following applications:
- 7-Zip - 7-Ζip is an open source application for both Windows and Linux that extracts various archive files including ZIP files.
- ZipIt - ZipIt is an application for Macintosh with which you can extract/create ZIP files.
Note, also, that in the latest version of most known operating systems (Windows, Linux, Macintosh) there are pre-installed applications with which you can open ZIP files (Windows XP and up have WinZip installed, in Linux there is Ark and 7-Zip etc).
Permitted recording file types
- Audio: MP3, OGG, MP4, FLAC, MIDI
- Video: MP4
Codecs information
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. As it is lossless, there is no loss of audio fidelity during conversion to and from this format, unlike in formats such as Ogg Vorbis and MP3. However, it tends to take up more space. FLAC provides compression levels from L0 (little to no compression) to L8 (maximum compression). All of these compression levels are lossless, but the higher compression levels use more CPU to encode and slightly more to decode in order to represent the exact same data in less space.
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer III. It is a lossy format that supports various different bitrate settings. MP3 compression is available in a variety of different flavors, including CBR (constant bit rate), VBR (variable bit rate), and ABR (average bit rate). In MP3 CBR encoding, audio is represented in a user-defined bitrate. Because the bit rate does not change at all in CBR, less complex parts are inefficiently encoded with higher bitrates. Common bitrates (in kilobits per second) for CBR include 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, and 320. On the other hand, in MP3 VBR encoding, audio is represented using a quality setting. The encoder uses this quality setting to determine different bitrate settings for parts of audio files rather than entire audio files, so complex parts get higher bitrates and less complex parts get lower bitrates.
OGG stands for Ogg Vorbis. Ogg Vorbis is very similar to MP3, but it uses variable bitrate encoding. It uses different internal techniques to encode audio.
MP4 is a container format that can contain audio, video, and other streams. It is often used to store videos, but can also be used to store only audio. Typically, audio in MP4 containers is encoded in AAC or MP3.
MIDI is a file format that can store musical sequences. When played back, the sequences are read by the computer, which creates a synthesized performance of the music within the MIDI file.
- To make sure that there is no loss of fidelity during the processing or uploading of a recording, make sure to use only lossless audio formats (WAV, FLAC, ALAC, etc.) when transferring between programs.
- Only compress audio with a lossy codec once! If lossy files are compressed again, even with the same codec and same settings, they will lose even more fidelity than they did during the first compression!
Raw PNG and JPG images can be uploaded using Special:Upload, found in the 'toolbox' section in the left sidebar. The following are accepted uses for these formats:
- Composer pictures and signatures
- Sample (preview) images for individual PDFs
- Thumbnail images for groups of PDFs
Deprecated Formats
DJVU is a file format very similar to PDF, and is conceived as a replacement for PDF. DJVU is especially designed for scanned documents, so the document legibility is higher than PDF at the same file size. Detailed information can be found here.
Some applications that can view/create DJVU files:
- WinDJView - The best free DJVU viewer out there (it's open source too). Its interface is almost exactly like Acrobat Reader, except it is much faster.
- MacDJView - Basically WinDJView for macs.
File formats used by Finale and Score. The code is not interchangeable between the two programmes.
Finale MUS files can be read and printed using the free Finale Reader.
MUS files cannot be uploaded directly, but instead should be archived in a ZIP file (see above)
File format used by Sibelius. SIB files can be read/printed after installing the free Scorch plugin.
SIB files cannot be uploaded directly, but instead should be archived in a ZIP file (see above)

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1994 Summer Tour."
Punch > Sparkle is a nice way to open set two. Of the three '94 Gin's I have heard, this one is by far the best. It's quite energetic and has a nice peak. I really like it. Hearing Cities in '94 is odd. Considering that this is the only one played between '89 and '97, it's not a song associated with the era and it seems a little out of place, though it is a perfectly acceptable performance. YEM is fine, GGITS is fun, and the rest of the show is just fine and not really worth noting.
Highlight: The Curtain > Letter to Jimmy Page > If I Could, Bathtub Gin
Overall, a fun but far from essential performance from Summer '94.

NAPA -- Rookie cornerback D.J. Hayden is a tad concerned about how he is going to look when he makes his Raiders debut against the Chicago Bears.
That is understandable, given that Hayden, the Raiders' first-round pick in the draft, hasn't played since he suffered a torn vein near his heart and almost died in November.
Yet, that isn't what Hayden is worried about. It's the extra "flap" that Raiders trainers and doctors are making him wear that has him a bit self-conscious in advance of Friday's exhibition at the O.co Coliseum.
"It just makes me look fat a little bit," Hayden said Sunday after completing his first practice in which he was permitted contact in more than nine months. "I want to look good out there. I can't be looking chubby. It makes me look like I got like a little beer belly or something."
Hayden can laugh about such things now. There was nothing but long faces when he suffered a torn inferior vena cava during a collision with a University of Houston teammate at practice.
He underwent surgery to repair the damage from an injury that proves fatal 95 percent of the time, according to Walter Lowe, the University of Houston team physician. The vein carries blood from the lower half of the body back to the heart.
In late May, Hayden underwent a second operation, this time to remove scar tissue in his abdominal region.
The Raiders were fearful of rushing Hayden into action, even though he declared himself ready weeks ago.
Hayden spent the first few weeks of training camp wearing a red, non-contact jersey as a precautionary measure. Team trainers and doctors finally cleared him for contact Friday.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Hayden has some catching up to do, especially since Hayden missed practice time with a hamstring injury and the team's first two exhibitions.
Allen said he intends to take a look at Hayden against the Bears' first-team offense, at least part of the time.
"It's going to be good to get him in some game action this week, " Allen said. "Physically, he looks just fine."
Hayden said he doesn't mind being thrown into the fire. He is more concerned about not taking the experience for granted.
"I want the game to hurry up and come," Hayden said, "but I want to enjoy that moment, playing in the game."
Fifteen years ago, defensive back Charles Woodson made his Raiders debut after being selected in the first round. Now, he is the one eager to see what the new guy is capable of doing.
"I'm probably just like the coaches and the G.M., you want to see him in a real game situation," Woodson said. "I'm waiting for that."
Allen said that is by design because "we're getting into regular-season mode." Also, the Raiders are preparing for their third exhibition, when the starters tend to get their most extensive action.
During one three-play stretch, Flynn threw two interceptions -- to cornerback Mike Jenkins and linebacker Kaelin Burnett -- and he fumbled a snap. A short time later, Jenkins intercepted Flynn's pass again.
On the bright side, Flynn ended practice with a well-thrown pass to wide receiver Rod Streater for a touchdown.

Some city leaders are looking to crack down on panhandling in Augusta.
A new ordinance before the Augusta Commission could make it illegal to beg for money in the downtown area.
Maybe it's happened to you? You're walking downtown and someone stops and asks you for money.
Some say it happens too much here on Broad Street.
If a new ordinance passes, some beggars could face fines and even jail time.
Meet Crystal Booker. She's been homeless for six years, and spends most of her time sitting on Broad Street.
"Homelessness…I'd rather be homeless any day, because I've met so many good people," says Booker.
Though she says she has never begged anyone for money, she's upset that a law could ban panhandlers from downtown.
First, because she says it violates freedom of speech, and second, because she feels panhandling isn't a problem.
"They don't have them in Augusta," she says. "I ain't never seen nobody panhandle."
But downtown business owners like Barry Blackston say it's all too common.
"Because they do loiter, they'll stay right around a storefront," Blackston says. "Whichever storefront is doing the most business, they are right on the fringe of it."
If passed by the Augusta Commission, a new ordinance would ban aggressive or intimidating begging on all streets and sidewalks on and around Broad Street.
It would make panhandling a criminal offense resulting in fines and jail time, mirroring an ordinance passed in Atlanta last year.
"Augusta is trying to be so much like Atlanta and Atlanta is not where it's supposed to be," Booker says.
And there are some downtown store owners who agree that the ordinance would be a little premature.
I've never seen a situation where a person approaches somebody and it becomes an aggressive situation," says Kerry McCollum, a store owner.
Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver says, "It is an issue, panhandling is."
Mayor Copenhaver says panhandling is hurting Augusta's economic development.
That's why he is supporting the proposal but says he welcomes other views.
"We will review it tomorrow and discuss it tomorrow and if people have concerns. I'm sure they'll be at the meeting tomorrow to voice them," says Copenhaver.
"I'm glad they're doing something to address it," says Blackston.
"The blockheads, when they get into certain positions in life, they forget about their own people," Booker says.
This proposed ordinance will go before the Augusta Commission tomorrow.
It will need six votes to pass.
Austin, Texas and Cincinnati, Ohio are two of the cities News 12 found whose panhandling ordinances were ruled a violation of free speech.
Mayor Copenhaver says Augusta's law would be very similar to Atlanta's, which still stands.

The hunt continues as firearm deer hunting season enters its last week. And while hunters still prowl the woods, state scientists are still collecting samples from this year's harvest.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says it's in the beginning stages of their search for Chronic Wasting Disease. So far this hunting season, more than 2,400 deer have been sampled.
Only 25 percent of the results are in, but all have proven to be negative. The scare started when deer in Wisconsin were diagnosed with the disease. It attacks the brain and nervous system of deer, causing them to literally waste away.
There are still no cases reported in Michigan and no evidence has been found linking the disease to humans.

We (3 pers.) Were 4 nights in the apartment, which is relatively small, but still sufficient. The level of equipment, everything was there, even when we used the kitchen as well as not. The apartment was clean and nice contact. The location is very good. We would book the apartment there again.
Wir (3 Pers.) waren 4 Naechte in dem Apartment, das relativ klein ist, aber dennoch ausreichend. Von der Ausstattung her war eigentlich alles da, auch wenn wir die Kueche so gut wie nicht benutzt haben. Das Apartment war sauber und die Kontaktperson nett. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Wir wuerden das Apartment auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
apartment was spacious and clean, unfortunately very noisy from the street side. provided sufficient material except towels: it was only the one for the shower, nothing for the hands or face PS there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow
appartamento spazioso e pulito, purtroppo molto rumoroso dal lato strada. materiale fornito sufficiente tranne gli asciugamani: era disponibile solo quello per la doccia, niente per le mani o il viso
P.S. non c'è ascensore e le scale sono molto strette
Great apartment - but the room towards the street is REALLY noisy!! You can hear all the traffic from 9th Avenue night and day.
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Housing generally satisfactory but rather bruyant.Les rooms overlook the street and a church. Accommodation very clean and comfortable
Logement globalement satisfaisant mais assez bruyant.Les chambres donnent sur la rue et une église.
Logement tres propre et confortable
The bedrooms have been refurbished but it is also called. Poor sanitation, very much street noise, not recommended.
De slaapkamers zijn gerenoveerd maar dat is het ook wel. Slecht sanitair, zeer veel straatlawaai, geen aanrader.
Apartment very well located, we are very pleased with the delivery
Appartement très bien placé, nous sommes très heureux de la prestation
This apartment is perfect for you to experience New York and be in the middle of it all. Walking distance to most, times squere, empire state, subway nearby. Ok standard. This is not for those who plan far in time .... Very good help from the landlord.
Denne leiligheten er perfekt for dere som skal oppleve New York og være i midten av det hele. Gå avstand til det meste, times squere, empire state, subway i nærheten. Ok standard. Denne er ikke for deg som planlegger mye inne tid....

This is a really lovely apartment. Everything was as we expected and everything is in good working condition. It is in a really good area around lots of bars and restaurants and very short walking distance to Broadway and Times Square. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy at night with the traffic.

WACO (October 12, 2012)--Convicted former tax assessor-collector A.F. "Buddy" Skeen was transferred Friday to a state jail in Dallas County to serve the remainder of his 180-day sentence after pleading guilty to misapplication of fiduciary property.
State District Judge Matt Johnson accepted a series of guilty pleas from Skeen in September and placed him on probation, but ordered Skeen to serve 180 days in state jail as a condition of that probation.
Unlike state prison where inmates can earn good time, sentences in state jails are served day-for-day, but Skeen will be given credit for time already served in county jail.
Skeen already had three days credit when he went into custody on Sept. 28, so accounting for days served since then, he should have 165 days left to serve.
On Sept. 28, Skeen pleaded guilty to using a false name, providing false information and forgery on one count and theft by a public servant on another count.
Skeen was sentenced to serve five years probation on the theft charge and 10 years probation on the false name and forgery charge.
Those terms will run concurrently with his earlier sentence.
Skeen also was fined a total of $2,000 and ordered to pay about $13,000 in restitution.
Thomas West, Skeen's lawyer, said Skeen would receive his county retirement in full.
He pleaded guilty Sept. 19 to misapplication of fiduciary property, a state jail felony, and then asked that a jury decide punishment.
The jury decided on a maximum two-year jail term, a $10,000 fine and five years probation but District Judge Matt Johnson suspended the prison term and ordered Skeen to serve 180 days in state jail, followed by five years probation.
He also ordered Skeen to perform 400 hours of community service.

How to find aircraft carrier in Blockade Germany ?
I'm on that mission right now as well. The only time I have ever run into a carrier was while it was in port, but when I sank it, it didn't count. What I understand is that you have to catch it out during patrol. An icon will appear on the map, and that is where a carrier is.
Hi, I found mine about 60km south of Portland heading west. A Illustrious class with 5 escorts. I tip I like to use and it always seems to work is with game slows down at about X2000 time compression, submerge and put X32 compression and then something always get a sonor contact. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the information veryniceperson. I don't play SH5, my computer when it first came out could not handle it.
If any of you that play SH5 could stop by once in awhile to this forum, your experience maybe able to help others out better then me.

Set one is a setlist that I would absolutely consider a dream if the band were to play it today. Despite the wonderful appearance on paper, this first set is, genuinely, standard across the board. Slave is a shining spot in this set, with a very nice build by the band and wonderful work by Page. I like the A-Train here for Mike's nice long bass solo which features him playing with a bit more confidence. Following a standard Golgi, the band breaks into what is the best performance of Phase Dance. Clearly, the band had been practicing this song and it is quite amazing to hear how identical Trey sounds to Pat Metheny here. If you want to find one version of this cover, this is where you should look. The band tears Fire a new one (as they had been during this time period). While YEM seems like an ideal closer, the jam is slightly slow and lunky - nothing to write home about.
The second set starts off with a brief HYHU tease before the full Fluffhead (which the audience recognizes). This would be the beginning of the full version of Fluffhead coming to prominence. Very infrequently would the band buck the trend of playing the whole composition together (Bundle of Joy would pop up sporadically, and the band flirted with the individual songs in the fall of 1989). However, from this point onward, Fluffhead would remain at x>10 minutes. I love the arrival section of Fluffhead here. A very drawn-out version of Wilson follows which stops and the band quickly plays Peaches (although not really a true >). After a short version of Divided Sky, the Lizards features that wonderful bridge section that is absent today. It sounds like a nascent NICU to my ears. An absolutely raging Antelope commences the set. The first version the band had played in 5 months is chaotic, noisy, and incredibly intense. Not only does it contain pure Trey-driven chaos, but the keywords here are "Moses Heaps and Moses Brown". It must have been an absolute sight to see in a small bar.
A funky, short, and embryonic Sloth opens up the final set. After a very very short Flat Fee, the band responds to an audience member's request for Dinner and a Movie. It has shortened since its last appearance in November, but really rages. While I prefer the longer version, this shorter version that we all know still packs a punch. I love this version of Hood. It is patient, features amazing work by Trey, excellent backing by Page, and also drops down before the closing chords in a wonderful dynamic sequence. It is pure tension and release and works unbelievably well. In some senses, it seems like one of the versions the band would play in 94, albeit with the limitations of 1988 equipment.
The Bike here is funny for a couple of reasons. Firstly, mid-way, Fishman forgets the lyrics and the audience calls him out. Secondly, he breaks into a verse of Love You after Bike. He then plays a rousing trombone solo. After an audience-friendly Fee, and a soulful JJLC, the band closes with a raucous BBFCFM to send everyone home in a frenzy.
Picking and choosing from this show and the night before will give you a nice collection of early 88 versions of songs. The Phase Dance here is clearly the best version that they perform before they drop the song later in the month. I like the energy of Fire in the first set too. If you haven't heard the wonderful extra 45 second bridge in Lizards, check out this version. Otherwise, the Antelope and Hood are great early versions, worth at least a once-over.

I have no animosity towards Woodley and I thank him for several really strong years but I'm in favor of the release. He's expensive and he's had a tough time staying healthy.
go to http://www.thebreastcancersite.com to donate a free mammogram a day to women without health insurance.
Wonder if this rumor is to try and get him to take a pay cut? Very thin at OLB that scares me for this defense.
Ike Taylor, however, apparently isn't going anywhere. The cornerback posted a Twitter message Monday evening saying he'd completed a contract renegotiation that would assure him retiring as a Steeler. Taylor was due to make $7 million in salary in 2014, with a cap hit of $11.942 million.

Hello, my name is Norman Davis and my mom's side of the family is Price, and doing our genealogy I have found that there is actually a "Price family Cemetery" located either in or near Quitman, do you have any information that you could email me or a picture of the gates of the cemetary, I plan on taking a trip within the year there so that I can get some pics of all of my relatives that are interred there to put on my family web site. All info as to where it is actually located and if possible a pic of the gates would be greatly appreciated.

Mark's reply to the email:
Sorry to be so long in getting the pics. Finally got out there today. Pics attached. The cemetery is located 5 miles north of Quitman on Farm Road 2966, at the intersection with the "Lake Quitman" Road. On the southwest corner of that intersection. Hope these help out.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
This is a tribute cover made by Andy, since he liked it a bit. He took a little artistic license with the figures of the trees, but that's how he rolls!
You can find the original here for comparison.

Nice. Um yeah. love those aplombs
Now I want to see more than ever a Bad End scenario that shows the aftermath of the three of them ending up trees in his garden.
I know he's nuts, but I wonder if changing their expressions ever occurred to him.
Of course not, that's like a photographer using photoshop to edit a smile on someone's face during an organic moment of surprises. Sure it might be more aesthetically pleasuring, but true art imitates– nay, CAPTURES life.
If I was going to have three girls as tree in my magical overlord garden, I'd want them sending out positive vibes, not negative vibes.
Great picture! Robyn certainly is a healthy tree, isn't she?
Indeed. Indeed. Good bark. Dense foliage.
And such. ^^;
It's probably only me… actually I'm pretty sure it's only me, but I think the ludicrously oversized boobs ruin the picture, which I would otherwise like. Again, probably just me, but when bust sizes surpass a certain point (without the necessary increase of other body fat) the individual looks horribly misproportioned and winds up looking far less attractive than they would have been if they'd had a more natural/realistic proportion.
I obviously don't expect the artists or writers to change this, as it's kind of always been there in this comic. But I am also entitled to my opinion, which is I'd have loved this picture had the Tree-Girls had more realistic and less oversexualized proportions. (I don't like sexualization of inanimate TFs. Kind of ruins them for me…)
But nice work otherwise. I like the expressions.
That's where the squirrels have been storing their nuts. Notice the smirk on her face on where they climb in? Ah nuts.
Why should you be able to impose your personal preferences on others?
I'll bet Jason/Sonja might have another opinion…
Remember each of us has an opinion of our likes or dislikes. And as such he/she is able to provide such whether we like it or not. It's the will of the artist who makes the final decision. As they say in the art world, 'Everybody's a critic' up until they're tasked to produce better.
Hey, I never did say I expect the artists or authors to change. In fact I specifically stated that I know they won't. However I am entitled to my opinion, which is that I enjoy the artist's work as a whole, I just do not personally enjoy overt sexualization of TFs (even TG, which can be kept fairly tame despite its inherently sexual nature).
Also think of the health of benefits they'd enjoy with smaller bust sizes? The current ones have got to be killing their backs (well, not now, but when in human form)! I'm also looking out of the characters, yo! lol
Your personal preference is every bit as valid as mine, but I like it.
Actually, taking into consideration the differences in art styles, they really aren't far off from the originals.
This is true. But I wasn't around at the time to comment on the originals. I didn't approve of the oversized busts then either, though at least in that case the cartoonish style (which included shorter, stubbier proportions) kind of made it less overt.
This isn't going to make me stop watching the comic or anything. I'm just announcing myself as the one guy who swims upriver. lol
I agree—The Boob size on Anne should be the limit for "Big boobs". Even those are too big for Annie herself, but would look better and more believable on the other two. Bigger IS better —but only to a point.
It's a picture of 3 girls, two who used to be guys, turned into trees by an evil elf wizard. "believable" long since went out the window.
I tough the left one was Robin as the original art did have Robin on the left and Anne in the middle.
It's not just you, dude. I also agree that their breasts are too large, and not just for reasons of personal taste. One of Anne's primary traits was her entirely normal bust size, since it contrasted with Sonja's largish bust, and Robyn's especially large bust. But even Robyn's boobs were barely as large as Anne's have been depicted here.
I mean, at least their *relative* bust sizes have been faithfully depicted, though that does lead to Robyn's chest sporting completely insane stripper-boobs. Her breasts are each larger than her head for goodness sake!
At least the mage guy, who's name I've long since forgotten, looks awesome!
Sykos. I remember because he is one of (if not my top) favorite characters.
It's definitely not just you.
I wonder how deep their roots are that they don't fall over. And I wonder if they can speak to each other after their roots intermingle. I wonder if in a few hundred years they'll grow into a single humanoid tree, the tree of chaos, with her sprouts spreading through out the world, bringing balance to the world.
I wonder what kind of fruit they would bear, if any…
Oh my! I've always loved this chapter cover, so seeing an awesome remake is such a treat!
Thank you for the comparison. I got Sonja right because of the waviness of her "hair," but I couldn't tell which was supposed to be Robyn and Anne. With Anne growing her hair out and the more realistic art style, there is a lot less with which to distinguish them.
This is Sykes, right? We never did get to find out the story of uh, what was her name… Amelie or something like that… the teacher he turned into a blond bubbly bimbo but who didn't MIND being turned into one and embraced their role with him. I just woke up, brain isn't braining right right now.
She was blond and discovered she enjoyed being bubbly, but turned out not to be a bimbo at all, as far as I recall.
any thing new to be coming soon
I would like to know as well.
As I posted a little while ago that despite not having to say anything on there part it would be a nice gesture from the developers of this comic to at least give some signs that things a coming down the horizon.
I know I for one would appreciate that greatly.
To clarify myself a bit as I don't want to sound rude but take a look at sailorson.org ( I believe is the address otherwise google it its not hard to find ) CD Rudd and the people he works with are a great example of what I'm implying by "giving signs of life".
Now I will admit going from the way things are now at the wotch to what CD Rudd is doing with sailorson.org is a bit of an extreme anything going in that direction would be a greatly appreciated plus.
Yeah, CD's always been very good about communicating what's going on. I think most people are willing to be patient, but they also like to kept up to date about what is going on.
In any case, I hope the Wotch manages to at least get a proper finale/ending. It deserves that much.
Somehow I sadly doubt it.
As do I this is a great web comic and I enjoyed it in its prime but sadly nothing last forever.
I just wish we'd gotten a finale.
The series isn't done yet. Our current artist, Andy Santos, had injured his wrist and is currently recovering. I am lining up some guest artists, but that takes time.
Thank you for the update, that really is all that we needed to make the wait easier to bare. I hope Andy's recovery is going well and please keep us updated.
What Riniko said. Thanks a lot for the update, and I hope Andy gets well soon.
I 2nd Riniko and Gabi's comment.
How goes the recovery and healing? Well I hope.
I too would like a progress report.
interesting question. so far all the centaur i have seen. at least in my recollection are female. any male ones. or couples.

Gillian Anderson finally gets to take on Hannibal Lecter.
Anderson, who was supposedly in the running to replace Jodie Foster in 2001 in the "Silence of the Lambs" sequel, is returning to TV to play Lecter's therapist in new drama "Hannibal."
It probably took a while to come up with that title.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Anderson will play Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier murderous psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter's (Mads Mikkelsen) own therapist -- in a multi-episode arc.
"Every therapist needs their own head examined and we are ecstatic that Gillian Anderson has chosen 'Hannibal' to mark her return to American television after 10 years to portray Dr. Lecter's personal psychiatrist," series creator Bryan Fuller said in a statement. "Her intelligence and sophistication, not to mention her pedigree of groundbreaking TV, make her the perfect actress to match wits and psychological manipulations with one of the greatest villains of pop culture. I couldn't be more excited."
Yes you could. You could be an "X-Files" geek who has Dana Scully pillow cases.
Since Fox's classic series "The X-Files" concluded in 2002, Anderson has appeared in miniseries such as Encore's recent "Moby Dick" adaptation and British TV series like "The Fall."
According to IMDB, Anderson's FOX contract didn't allow her to play another FBI agent, which is why she fell out of the running to play Clarice Starling in the "Silence of the Lambs" sequel (which was also named "Hannibal").
Couldn't Starling have retired, then come back as a contractor? It's a great way to double-dip on a pension.
Anderson joins a cast that also includes Hugh Dancy, Laurence Fishburne, Eddie Izzard, Gina Torres, Molly Shannon, Ellen Greene and Chelan Simmons. No premiere date has been set, but insiders expect the show will likely debut in late spring, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The great playwright Anton Chekhov once said that an actor�s imagination �is rich and revealing for the audience as well as for the actor himself.� It�s a puzzling contradiction � the creative, revealing nature of theater is what lures so many to the stage and simultaneously keeps so many from it. Now, the Durango Arts Center is indulging that unrequited desire with a new series of one-day adult theater workshops, offering a taste of acting, playwriting, song and dance, and even Shakespeare.
�As adults, we have these secret passions or things that we�ve always wanted to do and for some reason haven�t,� Theresa Carson said.
Carson, who recently joined the Durango Arts Center as artistic director and theater manager, designed the three-hour long workshops to be an easy and safe introduction to the theater. The classes have attracted new and experienced students.
�I (wanted) to try something different that I�ve never done before � put myself in a new situation that was comfortable and safe,� said John Vroman, a first-time acting student.
Vroman was joined by Wendy Ludgewait, a veteran of the Durango stage, in Mona Wood-Patterson�s �Acting: Making the Scene Come Alive� on Oct. 6.
�There�s always room for improvement,� Ludgewait said.
The workshops � to be held every Saturday through Nov. 10 � feature professional instructors from the Four Corners. This weekend, Suzy DiSanto of Durango Dance will lead �Dancing Through Broadway,� an introduction to the timeless dance sequences of the last century.
�Just because we�re living in a small town doesn�t mean we don�t have a ton of amazing, talented people here,� Carson said of the instructors.
Students learn Shakespeare on Oct. 27. Mollie Fiddler, a theater instructor at San Juan College, will lead students through a series of games and short scenes. On Nov. 3,, Durango DOT Comedy�s Geoff Johnson will teach �Improvisation Games.�
Remember �Whose Line is it Anyway?� The popular ABC show with Drew Carey brought the mad-hat art of improvisation to televisions across America. A classic acting exercise, improv places actors in situations without a script and asks them to find a solution, often to hilarious ends. It is not only an entertaining aspect of theater, but also a useful tool for actors of all skill levels.
�I want to help people use their imagination and be creative,� Carson said. �I think that�s such an important tool.�
The final workshop will be playwriting with Dinah Swan. Swan has won numerous national awards for the craft. She taught play and screenwriting for 26 years. Her workshop will be an introduction to the elements of drama and help writers develop their own scripts.
Carson hopes the workshops will not only serve as a creative outlet for Durangoans, but also raise awareness about DAC�s theater program. Whether through creating new actors, playwrights and crew or developing new audience members, the workshops are a much-needed addition to the center�s educational offerings.
�I think that the arts are really critical in the formation of a community, especially during tough times,� Ludgewait said. �I think it�s an important thing for the community to support.�
Carson said: �You can learn so much about yourself, your creative energy, and about who you are by participating in theater. I want to bring the joy of theater into people�s lives.�

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Matthew (NIV) 9:37 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Observation: A kingdom is a structure of authority in which a king has supreme control. The people were very interested in the subject of a kingdom for they did not like Roman rule. But Jesus was not interested in an earthly kingdom. He preached about the Kingdom of God. He proclaimed God's rule! But he did not set up an earthly government. Jesus demonstrated the power of the kingdom through "healing every disease and sickness." People could see the healings; they could see the difference God's kingdom made. God's kingdom is a heavenly kingdom that can be seen and experienced; it does a lot of earthly good!
Application: My life is to be a demonstration of the power of God's Kingdom. God's rule in Leon makes a difference that should be easily seen by others.
Prayer: Lord, when I call you "Lord" I am recognizing your authority to rule my life. You even taught us to pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Let it be so in me. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
The LOCAL Brands Farm And Ranch Markets Cooperative, called FARM, is less than a year old, but already the concept has both roots and branches.
Local customers with a growing desire to know the provenance of their food are driving business, said one of the cooperative�s founders, Denise Stovall. Beyond helping area farmers while giving customers knowledge of the origins of last night�s dinner, the cooperative model also is changing lives. And the co-op�s mission is evolving to augment that.
�We realized how much demand there was here and felt like we could help small farms and ranches,� Stovall said.
Strong consumer demand and support for the work is making area ranches �more viable in our local economic system,� Stovall said.
They�ve been able to incubate several small businesses created by local ranching families into growing successes. Some, like a new gluten-free bakery owned and operated by Melinda Wood and her family, have even moved beyond the protective arms of the co-op into free-standing operations.
What she�s seeing at the co-op, Wood said, has strengthened her confidence in the local market. The trends, she said, seem more than a fad, and she predicts the businesses spinning off from the endeavor could see prolonged community support and success.
�I do feel like people are supporting co-ops because so few places these days can guarantee where your food comes from,� Wood said.
Stovall concurred and said, �economics� will increasingly drive more changes in buying habits to the benefit of local agriculture as transportation and freight costs rise.
The farmers� successes will mean a more dynamic local economic, more grocery dollars kept local and more preservation of the area�s agricultural green space, she said.

Sanofi plans to axe 2000 jobs
06.07.2012 - The French pharma giant is preparing for a major overhaul of activities in its home market.
Exact numbers are not yet final, but French unions already fear the worst. An estimate of 2,000 jobs lost is "probably close to reality," said Thierry Bodin, a representative of the CGT union after a meeting with managers today. Europe's third-biggest drugmaker wants to regroup its research in the Paris region and around Lyon, he said. This might be the end for research in Toulouse, where the blockbuster Plavix blood thinner was developed, and Montpellier. The company also plans to eliminate support functions and cut jobs at its Pasteur vaccine division, Bodin said.
Reuters reports, that Chief Executive Chris Viehbacher told employees that the unspecified number of job cuts, at its Toulouse and Montpellier sites, would be achieved through voluntary redundancies, early retirement and internal mobility. Manufacturing sites in France would not be affected by the project. Jean-Marc Podvin, a spokesman for Sanofi, said in a telephone interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, that no job cut figures were given and all options remain open for Toulouse. Montpellier could become a centre focused on clinical development, he added.
The company's CEO Viehbacher began to restructure Sanofi in 2009 reducing headcount, closing plants and dropping the least promising projects. As part of a strategic shift, the French drugmaker is aiming at reducing internal research and having other actors, such as small biotechs, academic research to find new molecules and vaccines.
In its course to concentrate on its core competencies, Sanofi has decided to divest its 19.3% stake in the Yves Rocher Group, which operates in a variety of sectors, including cosmetics, home care products and clothing. The Rocher family which already controls most of the company will buy the shares and raise its stake to more than 95%.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/sanofi-plans-to-axe-2000-jobs.html
