Andy Vines, 27, creator of Lines by Vines, a $100,000-a-year greeting card company, is just doing what comes naturally. "I'm lucky, drawing always came easy to me," he says, but Vines took a few detours en route to his vocation. At the urging of his father, a Long Island adman, Andy headed for pre-med at Northwestern, where he turned out cartoon strips for the campus newspaper and sold a line of stationery to sororities and girls' dorms. Then he switched majors (to psychology) and schools (to Boston U '74). Finally, while on vacation before entering the U of Pennsylvania graduate architectural school, Vines showed some greeting cards he had dashed off to a buyer at Bloomingdale's. She enthusiastically ordered 24, and Andy sank $1,000 in savings to print up 25,000. "I took a big chance the first year," he admits, "but I knew I had a hot item." Bloomingdale's ordered another 24 designs for Valentine's Day. Then came a successful showing at the 1976 New York Stationery Show. Today, three years later, he has his architecture degree but isn't using it. After all, his firm has 50 sales reps and provides him a personal net of $50,000. One problem he does not have: designer's block. Says Andy, who does most of his creative noodling in Manhattan coffee shops, "I just sit alone and let my mind wander."

This term is derived from the root words gnar gnar & Narnia. Gnar being that of freshly laden snow, typically in the form of soft powder which is ideal for skiing, and Narnia being a mythical land from the mind of C.S. Lewis' novel, The Chronicles of Narnia. The combination of words creates "Gnarnia," a sought after, magical place in which the landscape is so perfect for shredding that it is nearly surreal.
"Dude, the conditions on Schweitzer were so flawless today. I thought I had stumbled into Gnarnia."

Whistler Mountain Bike Park... The best Mountain Bike Park on the planet. Especially the Garbanzo Zone...Garbanzo is so steep, technical, and rocky that it is a permanently closed area once the snow arrives. I.e. it is closed to ski/snowboarding in the winter... it puts the Gnar in Gnarnia
The snow is melting in Gnarnia... soon we will rip Goats Gully, Freight Train, and O-Sin!

I avoided updating for a while, the older version I had would show the users email address in the 'From' field in the email.
Now with the newer versions, the 'From' field shows 'WordPress' (or whatever I put in the box) if I leave the box blank no mail is received at all.
Just wondering if there is a fix?

Decided to start a separate thread for this to make it easier for others to find the answer if they have the same issue.
When I try to view the Comments page in the admin area nothing shows on the page apart from the header & footer content. I'm using the Fluency admin theme (latest version) and it may be an issue with that theme as it has another issue on its own options page, but just in case there's a bug in this plugin somewhere I thought it'd be best to mention it.
Thanks in advance,

Cue the 'Junk Shot': Chesapeake Ready to Cram Plastic and Tires Into Fracking Blowout in PA [1]
Brendan DeMelle [2] | April 21, 2011
By Brendan DeMelle [2] • Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 11:12
Reuters [3] has more details on Chesapeake's just-announced suspension of fracking at its unconventional gas operations throughout Pennsylvania due to an ongoing blowout.
Apparently, since their emergency response efforts have so far not worked to stop the well blowout, Chesapeake is getting ready to - you might want to sit down for this - launch a 'top kill' junk shot of "a mix of plastic, ground up tires and heavy mud to plug the well." [3]
What, no golf balls?

For the past few months I have been a constant on these boards, speaking my mind, and hoping to warn others about PA. Several times I've come under attack for not being "kinder" in my approach. People want to kill the messenger and ignore the message.
I'm afraid there's little you can do. Since you already signed the contract with PA, they have 100% control of your work for the next 7 years. You can't even submit the same work to another publisher or you'll be sued for breach of contract.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I have a custom post type (faq) that has a custom taxonomy attached to it (sections). Is there anyway that I can call specific posts from that custom post type from a page.?
This is for a cms setup for a client, so I am trying to make it as easy as possible for them to include the required faq's on each page.
Custom Post Type = faq
Custom Taxonomy = sections
One of those taxonomies is = employment
I want to create a post in faq custom post type and assign it the section/taxonomy of employment. I then want to have specific faq's (post type) appear on a page. So I am looking to include the same set of taxonomies on my pages. Then on the page I can check off the section of questions I want, in this case "employment". Then in my page template assign a function to display all posts from the faq custom post type that are assigned employment. So I would be checking off employment twice (for the actual question I am creating and on the page I want them to appear on)
Hope that makes sense! :)
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Since I began my journey away from religion, whenever a religious song (not a hymn or even worship, just religious) pops into my shuffle I've begun to immediately skip it. I can't bring myself to get rid of them because I love the music, but the message just irks me now.
I'm just curious if anyone still listens to their Christian music just for the love of the music. It feels sort of hypocritical for me to listen to it and enjoy it but I mean it is just music.
Views: 788
My wife and several of our friends (all atheists) love to get together and sing gospel music! I, being Catholic, only knew Latin hymns.
That's awesome!
I grew up singing in the church choir, occasionally playing piano for the offeratory, etc. (it was a small congregation). So whenever those commercials for some Ultimate Collection of Favorite Hymns comes on the teevee, I can't help but sing along (much to the chagrin of hubby).
After my deconversion, I did have a hard time enjoying christmas songs - until I decided that it's no different to me to sing O Little Town of Bethlehem than it is to sing Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I enjoy the traditions, but it's all mythology.
My ipod playist is quite mixed (from YoYo Ma to Tool) but the only religious music I can think of that's currently on the playlist is Sweet Honey in the Rock. It's about the vocals, and the stories of the women singing. I can accept that their beliefs are wrong without discounting the truth of their experience.
There is one hymn that still kind of gives me trouble - it was a favorite - It is Well With My Soul. It resonated so strongly within me for so long, that I sort of feel like I can't sing it without reliving the struggle of shedding the chains of faith.
lol, my guy doesn't like it when I play the typical religious Christmas music, so I can understand where you're coming from on the spousal annoyance thing. lol.
Much like with Petra I think the Christian Christmas music is very nostalgic for me. It's all innocent. I don't have to believe it to like it, I guess. I too appreciate the tradition.
It is Well With My Soul is beautiful! Take it out of a religious context (at least with the main line itself) and it doesn't have to relate to religion at all.
That might end up being the way it goes... I hope not, but who knows.
The closest I get to "Christian" music is Mellencamp. He strikes me as different because not all his songs have some sort of religious theme to it, and even the ones that do aren't overbearing to me. Human Wheels is still one of my favorites.
Other than that, I find the "Christian" variants of any given genre to be...well, safe. Too safe. None of them want to expand beyond singing about stuff in a book, there's no risks involved...It's boring to hearing Christian song after Christian song rhyme "voice" with "rejoice".
It'd be like me making an entire genre devoted to singing songs about Harry Potter. After awhile, stuff is going to all sound the same and mush together.
I know what you mean. Some of the Christian music I listen to isn't worship-style so they're not all specifically about religion so much as, like you said, "safe." Unfortunately though they're at a much lower tier than other bands I like because of that. There's no diversity.
I have ONE Christian song in my collection. I had heard it on the radio one early morning on my way to work and eventually downloaded it some 12 years ago. I liked the tune, and the vocals were alright. The song itself is just a cry to God for peace and happiness for the world, and that makes it really sad. I still listen to it, but only because I like the song itself. Not because of its message.
I have a few songs like that, that are just nice on the ears. I'm not sure which ones I'll keep.
It really depends on the band. Some of it just sounds terrible now, but some bands I go back to every once in awhile, just to reflect (ie., Anberlin, MuteMath, Thrice). If a song's anywhere near preachy though, I can't listen, no matter how great it is.
I know what you mean. A lot of it is just... horrible. Even when I was a Christian I remember scoffing at most of it.

In January it was announced that they had been working on a new design and had been hinting at it for almost a year in various articles like L&L and Rule of 3.
The initial follow on articles suggested that they were far less clear on their mechanics and decisions on what they wanted for the new edition. They started to pose questions on "What should be a Fighter" and "What should be a Cleric".
The first playtest at DDXP of the Caves of Chaos seemed to be the high water mark of the initial set of ideas.
Some time after that the articles started to change and seemed to discuss less content in what I would consider absolute terms.
It now seems that they are re-visiting topics that they did articles on before like Bruce discussing HP today or earlier this week the topic of "Clerics vs Paladins".
It seems the original plan and material has gone into the can and they are now doing a major re-design of their announced game plan at the start of January.
It has made me more worried on what is going on inside the design process that PaxE did not offer a new version of rules to playtest or even a new set of classes and play environment. Ideally they should have shown some progress in design and what maybe 3rd level is going to look like after showing off 1st level at DDXP.
I remember the design process for 4e when the initial announced design seemed to go through a radical change from what was promised with Playtests offered and initial class designs suggested.
It will be interesting if they leave just 2 desingers on the DnD 5e project or scramble to bring in a 3rd or 4th person to help share up some of the design load.
Bruce's blog on HP today and mention of Healing Surges suggests that they may be trying to push for a more 4e friendly design/similar design.
It will be interesting to compare answers to questions on things like how many classes and which classes will be part of 5e from the answers given at DDXP. The same will go for ideas of Themes and Backgrounds which seems to now be coming out that did not seem part of the original idea in January.
I'm also surprised that WotC did not make the announcement first. If they've known of this possibility for a week or more then they should have had a prepared statement with the usual 'regrets' and 'best wishes' and assurances that 'everything is going ahead'. It is interesting that it is not a Friday before a holiday which seems the normal popular date for Hasbro to release people they do not want.

Actually, my post that I began this thread in was a bullet point list of the stuff that I had questions or lacked clarity on -after- that line by line thing.
And we actually have spent a few posts just exploring one detail that I was unclear about, that has had about a dozen perfectly viable explanations.

I'm inclined to use a grandma-unfriendly expletive, like excrement.
I like Monte, and like his design. Not having him on 5E gives me a very sad face.

4e was not OGL and if some one was to hire me to such a position then I doubt that I would count on OGL being a deal breaker.
I would drop out as it was suggested if the WotC/Hasbro were going to try and touch my IP (like Monte's Ptolus) and claim it for their own without paying for the Goodwill.
In sales, companies often try to acquire smaller companies just to get their hands on a client list and then dump the rest of the personnel.
In design, IP is the only real capital and Monte has developed a fair amount of it with a good following. Many people, myself included, paid attention to WotC DnD again because Monte was hired for the project.
IF you are proposing a big new project that you have to get investors attracted to then it helps to hire a big name to put on the project. The person is often only retained long enough to satisfy the investors and then they are discarded to save costs (and avoid their influence).
Plenty of deeper reasons than OGL for this situation to occur but as some people have pointed out that it could be something totally unrelated.
I nearly walked on a contract because my employer suddenly wanted to be rigid on the work hours of a Friday (I was not big on the work environment anyways so the loss of a call centre job was not a priority). A year later, I left the position because they would not allow me to flex my lunch time and work schedule to attend a course 3xweek for an hour.

I am disappointed that Monte is leaving, but if the silver lining is that if he was unhappy it is good for everyone that he chose to leave early in the process.

I think that a lot of us are just not compatible with the modern corporate environment. They demand loyalty of the employees, often expecting great personal sacrifices (such as working unpaid overtime), showing none in return as evidenced by the now-standard cycle of going on a hiring spree when ramping up for a new project followed by rounds of layoffs as the project winds down. Perhaps some of us are just too good at detecting BS to fall for the motivational speakers, customer service seminars, and lip service to "respecting work-life balance."
Navigating corporate office politics is a skill that not everyone possesses, and it doesn't take much to get on someone's bad side, particularly when they seem to value a "can-do" attitude more than a "can-do" performance. Often, all it seems to take is giving an honest and realistic answer when asked if you can accomplish something on an unreasonable deadline to be labeled as having a bad attitude. Meanwhile, the guy who says "yes" to everything and delivers it both severely reduced in scope and six months behind schedule gets praised and promoted. You'd think that some of us would learn after observing this time and again.
And of course, once someone in senior management has a negative impression of you, it's very difficult to change and odds are good that you'll be a part of the next "downsizing" when they don't need any justification beyond that.
I imagine that working for WotC would have a fair bit in common with working in the video games industry. It's a "cool" and "fun" job that a lot of us do for free as a hobby, so there are always far more job-seekers than there are jobs. This can often lead to the situation where employees tolerate low pay, poor working conditions, and ridiculous hours simply because they love what they are doing -- and the executives know that for every employee who burns out and leaves, there are a dozen more applicants who see it as their dream job.
Ahem, back on topic... so yeah, it is quite possible than Monte's decision to leave had nothing to do with the design of the game and everything to do with the corporate working environment. Judging by the regularity of layoffs and the high turnover, I'd say that the working conditions may not be too far off what they are in the video games industry. I've gone from working in corporate environments, to freelancing, back to corporate environments (pursuing my "dream job" of making video games), and back to freelancing. It's extremely difficult to go back to dealing with the typical corporate BS after being your own boss for a while. Even if you love what you're doing, there's always a point at which it is no longer worth it.

Good riddance.
Mod Note: And the award for "Most Reported Post in Several Weeks" goes to....
Ladies and gents, upthread, Piratecat asked for people to hold off on cheap shots. Please allow me to reiterate that. Nobody insists that you have to like a particular designer's work, but they are people, fellow gamers, and we ask you show the persons a modicum of respect. In general, we expect to see people doing their best to remain thoughtful and mature for the remainder of the thread.
If there's any question about this, please take it to e-mail or PM with one of the mods or admins. Thanks, all! ~Umbran

Secondly, I specifically requested on the Carnival site to pay for the gratuities after the cruise was over. I do not prepay gratuities if the service is bad. Tips need to be earned not just forked over. They gladly took my credit card # and charged me the $200 after I requested on the Carnival site to let me pay at the end of the trip. Obviously the Guest Services Representative did not comprehend my reservation. I believe that this explains the reason why Carnival hires 97% foreigners from countries where if they walk away with $2400 in gratuities they can live like a king from whatever 3rd world nation they come from. I can't believe there are not any regulations saying they have to pay a minimum liveable salary to these employees that survive only off of tips. I have friends that worked in this industry and they said that if there was an empty cruise they had no choice but to wait until the next cruise to try and make money to live off of.
Thirdly, my first port in Nassau I was exiting off of the ship with my family and Carnival required the sail and sign card to be in hand of you could not exit. We somehow misplaced our sons card and the whole ship had the elevators shut off and the stairwells were full of somewhere of 300 people. Brian the very lackadaisical employee who was directing all the guests to have their sail and sign card in their had was incredibly aloof to the fact I had a child with a stroller and it was a incredibly dangerous to walk the opposite direction against 300 people coming down the stairs. He had a radio and a mouth to call for a manager to unlock an elevator to allow me up or to bring me a new card for my son. They asked for a passport so all they had to do was bend over backwards for someone who is paying their salary to allow them off at the port by bringing a new card. It is obvious that this management team is ridiculously out of touch with creating a fond and memorable experience. I had to really get on his case to see if he would get someone to bring a key down. I said to him out of frustration and that he will be complained to guest services by me. I did that and also said I will go online to put a review on tripadvisor.com about this experience. This is obviously an example of Customer No Service! I will not be taking my family on another Carnival cruise.

Texas fighting judge's order to fix foster care system on every front, in ways other states haven't
AUSTIN — Texas is pulling out all the stops to keep control of its problem-plagued foster care system.
State lawyers, chagrined that a federal district judge accused Texas of overseeing horrors in the system meant to protect vulnerable children, have challenged her on several fronts.
This time, Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a higher court to scuttle a move by U.S. District Court Judge Janis Graham Jack of Corpus Christi to hire two special masters to help her hash out remedial orders in a 5-year-old class action suit.
Such class action suits have helped improve the lives of foster children — at least, for a time — in more than 30 states since the early 1980s. But Paxton and his predecessor, Gov. Greg Abbott, have dug in their heels in way other states' officials haven't, experts on child welfare litigation said.
They noted that earlier this month, appointees of South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley settled a similar foster care lawsuit without going to trial. But Texas is one of only a few to refuse to settle and then to lose at trial, according to officials at several child welfare groups.
Usually, states play a losing hand. Texas is one of only four states to go to trial, say veterans of the litigation.
"Texas is certainly fighting hardest," said Marcia Robinson Lowry, a lawyer who as founder of New York City-based Children's Rights brought many of the suits, including the one against Texas.
Some current and former CPS workers, child advocates and the Texas State Employees Union have blasted the state's GOP leaders and the Department of Family and Protective Services for continuing to contest the suit. The state instead should concentrate on improving foster care, they say.
State leaders, though, have said that Texas was making improvements to foster care on its own and that Jack should have shown more deference.
Paxton deems good care of maltreated children "a solemn responsibility" of the state but is defending an important principle about federalism, said spokesman Marc Rylander.
"When unelected federal judges, however, improperly assume control of state institutions, Texas officials cannot make the policy choices that they have been entrusted to make — and Texas voters lose their right to shape the debate," he said. "The judge in this case acted outside of her legal authority, and we are asking the 5th Circuit to correct that error."
Last month, Abbott spokesman John Wittman told the Texas Tribune that state funds would be better spent serving foster youth and hiring more Child Protective Services workers to keep track of them than on a "legally baseless special master process."
At issue in the latest legal sniping is not only that the two officials Jack has chosen are from New Jersey and North Carolina — and charging the state $345 an hour. The state also contends she is using them in "unprecedented and unduly coercive" ways in violation of federal court customs.
Originally, plaintiffs in the case asked for special masters "simply to monitor defendants' compliance," Paxton argued in recent briefs filed with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But Jack also wants them to help her create her final orders to the state, such as maximum caseloads for CPS' foster care workers and minimum numbers of foster families per county, Paxton said.
He decried as "abusive" Jack's March 21 order appointing former New Jersey Commissioner of Children and Families Kevin Ryan and Duke law professor Francis McGovern.
A few weeks later, Jack rejected Ryan and McGovern's request for 12 staff assistants. She allowed four. Still, Paxton's assistant solicitor general Joseph Hughes swiftly fired off a letter to all judges at the 5th Circuit, saying salaries for the masters and their staff plus travel expenses would exceed $2 million by September, when their recommendations are due.
In a reply brief, though, plaintiffs' lawyers Paul Yetter of Houston and Sara Bartosz of Children's Rights said the state greatly exaggerated costs. Jack acted properly in delegating duties and approving pay, they said.
Also, the state is selectively indignant, plaintiffs' lawyers said. In the past two years, Texas has spent $3.1 million on a consultant for CPS, they noted. At the March 21 hearing, Jack raised eyebrows about $1.3 million the state spent to quickly evacuate 86 high-needs foster children from subpar residential facilities in West Texas. CPS took them to temporary shelters in San Antonio because it had no available foster beds.
"I'm just wondering where all this money is coming from," she mused.
Jack, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, has avoided sharp words about state officials. She has complimented Assistant Attorney General Thomas Albright, the state's lead lawyer, and praised department officials for cooperating.
On April 6, five days after Paxton filed a "mandamus" petition seeking to void her appointments of Ryan and McGovern and freeze their activities, Jack said during a telephone conference with key parties in the case that it would "be unusual" for the state to prevail.
"But I don't want to even second guess what the 5th Circuit might do because I've never done anything like this before, truthfully," Jack said, according to a transcript.
Late last month, she instructed the masters to decline invitations to meet with stakeholder groups in Texas' child welfare system and testify to a House juvenile justice and family issues panel. Doing such things would just run up costs and risk "loose cannons," Jack said.
Jack also has trimmed proposed pay rates for some of the masters' professional staff assistants and urged restraint on travel expenses, which the state also will have to shoulder.
"You don't have to stay" in budget motels, Jack told the masters, "but I'm not going to have suites at" the Driskill Hotel, one of the most historic — and expensive — hotels in downtown Austin.
From the start, Jack instructed masters not to speak with the media or lawmakers without her permission.
Jack, who as a private lawyer had some experience representing foster children in court, has overseen the case for five years while in semi-retirement, known as "senior status." It has taken a toll, she has hinted.
Reading hundreds of thousands of pages of case files on children who've bounced through many foster care placements was awful, she said at a March 21 hearing. Writing her opinion, which said "rape, abuse, psychotropic medication and instability are the norm" in long-term foster care in Texas, was a year-long slog, she said.
"Frankly, I couldn't stand to think about it at times," she said.
At every turn, the state has resisted. In 2012, under prodding from Abbott, then the attorney general, the appeals court made Jack jump through painstaking hoops to preserve the case as a class action. In January, a month after Jack issued her order, Paxton sought a stay but was rejected by three 5th Circuit judges appointed by former President George W. Bush.
Former Travis County District Judge Scott McCown said he's been shocked that Texas lawmakers and bureaucrats act as if Jack's ruling never happened. They haven't requested more money to hire caseworkers or launched bolder efforts to recruit foster families, said McCown, director of the Children's Rights Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law.
"We've got kids sleeping in offices, kids stuck in psychiatric hospitals and no capacity in the system, and yet the Legislature is just silent," he said. "They're not even studying it."

The former Accrington Stanley boss, who has never lost a match as a manager at Valley Parade, said: "We showed a lot of quality.
"The first half was a great advert for League Two football, the quality of play and the quality of goals. I don't think people give credit to the football played in League Two and League One.
"If that had been Barcelona playing football like we did in the first half people would have been raving about it. Obviously, we are not going to play to the same level as Barcelona, but you can still have the same desire and the same mentality.
"When we pass the ball like we did here we are up there with the best sides in the league. We are one of the best sides in the league going forward and this match showed that. Everyone knows about our defensive frailties, but when we play like that going forward we can beat anybody."
Coleman singled out striker Terry Gornell, scorer of two of Rochdale's goals, for special praise.
He added: "Terry was absolutely fantastic. It isn't just the goals he gives you, he runs himself into the ground."
This defeat ended promotion-chasing Bradford's run of five unbeaten league matches, but it was only Rochdale's second win in seven, both victories coming in their last three matches at Cheltenham and Bradford.
Now Coleman, whose side were relegated from League One last season, is looking for more consistency.
"We have turned in some really poor performances this season and it frustrates the life out of you," he said.
"But we have 17 new players in the team this season and it is always going to take time."

Final nail in Reina's coffin?
Loki...I took some stick on this board for quite some time for my open criticism of Reina...now do u think some of the regulars onthis board might FINALLY be agreeing this guy is last.
BTW never saw him as a good shot stopper the man has NEVER dominated his area certainly notthis last two seasonsand if u look at my posts from this last two weeks u will see I have repeatedly criticised his POSITIONING.
We must NOT under any circumstances let UniTURD have their way and sign Begovic for a song price rumoured to e 9 mill we must get into a bidding war for this keeper !Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
maybe we can sell Reina to Chelski, the Russian oligarch has a soft spot for paying premium to Liverpool having signed up Torres & Benitez and wanting Gerrard. Reina going to Chelsea would be the icing on the cake to finish off Chelsea.

Sutha Sorry to disappoint u but Reina is sposed to be going to Barca end ofseason...but any more howlers like todays and he will be lucky to be going to Accrington !
I think your right Colin, every keeper has a shelf life I'm afraid and Reina's been here 7 year's nearly and I've not seen him as injured or out of sorts. Everybody raised an eye when we let Clemence go but again it was right and Brucie then gave us something else.
What about a swap deal with Victor Valdes and a bit of cash to us on top?

There's also a story in the press that United are looking at him as they aren't 100% with De Gea. That would make that signing a damn site more difficult.
Shame, there's something definitely not right with Reina. Confidence or mind elsewhere is difficult to say.

Mahesh Babu Denies Targeting Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna In Aagadu
Superstar Mahesh Babu has finally broken his silence on the controversial dialogue featured in the first look teaser of his upcoming movie Aagadu. The actor has denied the claims that those dialogues were meant to take a dig at his colleagues like Pawan Kalyan and Nandamuri Balakrishna. He says that they depict the attitude of his character in the film and there is nothing personal in them.
The teaser of Srinu Vaitla's Aagadu features Mahesh Babu uttering a dialogue: "Prathodu pululu, simhalu, enugulu, elakalatho yedhava comaprisons. Elaparam ochestundi (Everyone is comparing themselves to tigers, lions, elephants and rats. It's quite irritating)." Soon after the video hit the net, it was being speculated that this dialogue was aimed at Pawan Kalyan and Nandamuri Balakrishna.
After this dialogue controversy created lot of flutter in the media, the irritated Mahesh Babu responded to the reports and cleared the air. "It is the attitude of the character that is being portrayed on screen, that's all. It's not personal. Aagadu is a typical Srinu Vaitla movie. I play a cop and I am looking forward to its release." Deccan Chronicle quotes Mahesh Babu as saying about the dialogue.
"We didn't target anyone in the teaser and that wasn't our intention at all. In fact, I myself have said punch dialogues like that in Dookudu and this dialogue in Aagadu is a take-off from that. It's just the attitude of the character that I portray in the film. There's no question of taking a dig at others," the Times of India quotes Mahesh Babu as saying.
This dialogue also caused a huge fight between the fans of Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan. Many fans of Pawan took to their Twitter pages to condemn Mahesh, while Prince fans were surprised by their attack. Continue to read their comments in the slideshow.

Oil & Gas Sector Tops in M&A This Year
The oil and gas sector is on pace to reclaim the top sector for M&A this year.
With Monday's big boost of Cnooc's $15.1 billion deal for Canada's Nexen — along with the smaller $1.5 billion purchase of a 49% stake in Canada's Talisman by Cnooc compatriot Sinopec — the oil and gas sector now has $154.2 billion in announced global deals, according to Dealogic.
That puts it in the top spot, above real-estate sector deals of about $130 billion and technology deals of about $125 billion, according to the data provider.
Last year, oil & gas came in No. 2, with $255.5 billion of global deals compared to the real-estate sector's $280.9 billion, Dealogic said. The data exclude spin-offs.
Meanwhile, the Canadian banks on the Cnooc-Nexen deal are getting a lift up the M&A league tables.
RBC Capital Markets, which represented Nexen, is now No. 4 in oil and gas advisory work, up from No. 12 last year, according to Dealogic. BMO Capital Markets, which represented Cnooc, rose to No. 6 from No. 16 last year, the data provider said.

Skip to comments.Arrow Trucking closing strands employees across U.S.
Posted on 12/23/2009 5:37:50 AM PST by WOBBLY BOB
Arrow Trucking news is not good for employees, as the Arrow Trucking Company is closing its doors. The Arrow Trucking Company is rumored to be bankrupt now, but it seems that Arrow Trucking really didn't care about their employees in the end. It is being reported that some Arrow Trucking employees didn't find out they were out of a job until their gas cards were rejected while they were on the job across the country.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
But air travelers get a special bill of rights.
Didn't care about employees? What about shippers?
The employees should sell the freight for gas money home and park the trucks in their front yards with for sale signs on them.
I blame obama
Classy. Wonder what special packages management got n the way out.
obama will save them.
hope and change
No. Didn't you get the memo from the Whitehouse? It is Bush's fault!
Demanding that employees return company owned vehicles at their own expense under threat of criminal theft charges, is EXTORTION. Where is the DA,Attorney General?
But profit is evil, so they got what they deserved.
All companies that earn profits deserve to go bankrupt.
Only non-profit companies deserve to exist.
Like the federal government. It's non-profit.
Blame Republicans!
Seems that the trucks can be taken to dealerships and the dealer will provide a bus ticket home. Unfortunately you have to be near a dealership to do that.
Another problem is drivers with a dog, busses won't take them. Fortunately it sounds like owner operators are stepping up and offering rides in the right direction.
I'm happy to hear that the owner-operators are stepping up. One irresponsible management, though. They had to have seen this coming and should have unwound the company before in got into this mess. I'm guessing it's closely held (a family company?) and owners and managers are one and the same and couldn't face the music.
LOL...I bet the Teamster thought so.
For Sale: Can be seen at Joe's Truck Stop. Mack truck parts, tires and chains. Whole trailer load of merchandise. Cash and carry only. No offers refused.
At least Arrow could tell the employees that they were going out of business...and could have told the customers as well.
If I were the employees...I would hang on to the company trucks until all employee pay due is paid. Doubt that law enforcement is going to waste their time rounding up all those with company trucks
If so, a new meaning of the American flag: "Screw you."
They are busy as they all have their Lips firmly sealed to Obamas rear end.
'KLTV out of Texas is reporting that there was a message for Arrow truckers sent out that they have until Thursday morning to return their trucks or they will have theft charges filed against them."
Good luck with those theft charges.
Ryan how many truckers use "gas cards"?
I'd wager those trucks will be missing quite a few parts and cargo by the time they are picked up.
I hear rumors that Yellow Freight is also in BIG trouble....
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
My point exactly, the EXTORTION has already happened, put them in jail
Havent seen any gas jobbies on the highways since the 60's. Good catch. Been using Fuel cards for years though.
When I was in the fish biz, we once shipped around $32,000 worth of Australian lobster tails to a warehouse in Chicago; the driver apparently had a pissy fit and quit once he got to town......trailer went missing.
The truck broker finally tracked the driver down who told him where he could collect said trailer. It'd been abandoned someplace in town, and was empty.
We got paid, but no idea what might have happened to the former driver.
A lot of drivers recieve their paycheck by way of their fuel cards. When my mother was driving she didn't because of her fear of exactly this sort of thing.
Apparently the Arrow attitude of "screw you" is of long standing.
ARROW TRUCKING = Tulsa, Oklahoma YES, ARROW TRUCKING IS A DISGRACE TO THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY !!!! Tulsa Oklahoma
WYETHEVILLE, Va.—For David Furnier, everything was going well at Arrow Trucking Co. The Houston, Texas, trucker was getting plenty of loads and was receiving his paychecks regularly.
Then he woke up Tuesday without a job and feeling like Armageddon had hit.
Furnier, speaking to The Trucker from a TravelCenters of America truck stop here, said he and other drivers were blindsided by the announcement Tuesday that Arrow was shutting its doors.
"We weren't expecting this to happen," Furnier said by telephone Tuesday afternoon. "We'd heard that the company was going to do a little bit of restructuring, but this is more than restructuring. This is complete annihilation. It feels like today was Armageddon for us as Arrow drivers."
Furnier, who drives a Freightliner tractor, said Arrow drivers under a load were being told to go to a Freightliner dealership and drop the entire tractor trailer with the load and Arrow or somebody "would come get the load and put it on their trailer. They are saying that nobody is getting any money for fuel, but they are getting bus tickets. But it will take drivers three or four days to get home and that's just not fair to us."
Furnier and his wife, who is traveling with him, had planned to be back in Houston to spend Christmas with his wife's children.
But the news Tuesday changed those plans.
Now he and his wife will bobtail to Camp Lejeune, N.C., where his son-in-law is completing a contract, and spend Christmas there.
That's where he'll turn the truck in to a Freightliner dealer since Daimler (Freightliner's parent company) Financial Services owns the truck.
It won't be on Arrow's money, however, since the company has cancelled use of its fuel cards.
"I don't have enough fuel, but I have some money coming from a friend who is going to help me out," Furnier said.
Furnier said he'd not been paid for his last load and wouldn't be paid for his current load, a flatbed of fiber optic cable destined for Dallas.
He's also learned that the paycheck of his driver manager bounced last Friday.
The closing is naturally going to impact Furnier's Christmas and those of other Arrow drivers and employees.
"I have a lot of friends who are really upset. I've called a lot of them in the last 12 hours. They are throwing a hissy fit. They are really upset," said Furnier, who added he would go on the Internet and send out job applications when he got to North Carolina.
My brother paid for fuel out of his own pocket and never got his last paycheck or a reimbursement for his expenses.
We have 25 posts an no one mentioned that the company violated the law. They failed to provide 60 days notice of layoffs.
The result is exactly what logically must happen because of this law. Had they provided the 60 day notification, orders would have disappeared and disgruntled employees would destroy equipment and freight. There would have been no chance of recovery.
It is truly the fault of the leftist policies that are destroying America. The employees are American and got what they wanted
The drivers are the ones that should be filing theft charges for two weeks of unpaid work and the cost of getting the truck back to this lousy company.
We dropped them last year in a hurry as we heard the same story then. We had a long relationship with Yellow freight.
My ex got stranded over 1,000 miles from home. He was just hired by them and hadn't even received his first paycheck. He has no money, nothing. Bustards.
It depends on whether that law applies to trucking. Lots of our labor laws don't apply to trucking.
Its not the drivers responsibility to return the trucks once they are no longer employed.
I wonder how many other trucking companies are teetering on the brink?
I've heard as many as 10% - 15%. Unfortunately, this sort of thing needs to happen though. There are too many trucks out there, and not enough freight. Carriers are hauling freight at a loss, just to keep the trucks moving. We've lost a bunch of carriers already, but there's still too much capacity. Once we weed out a few more weak sisters, then freight rates will start to firm up, and the trucking industry will start moving forward again.
There are lots of trucking companies that have been going out of business ever since diesel fuel spiked to $5.00/gallon last year. It has gone down but so has the amount of freight to move around the country. Less freight to move requires less total trucks to carry it. It is a normal contraction in the economic cycle.
I live near a company called JEVIC.. Same thing happened.
Truckers were stranded across country when they were told about the company just closing up with no warning.
This is the reason American merchant seamen are, required by congress, to be paid in cash. In years past, seamen were stranded in many countries by bankrupting shipping companies who issued worthless pay checks.
Bush hates trucker people!
No it doesn't .
The trucker has signed a bill of ladening taking possession of the property in the trailer.
Also he is in possession of the truck and trailer. Charges can be brought in cases of abandonment

text: I have read through the help forums and gotten the plugin to work except for the inline links part. I can only get the plugin to work by either mailing the links or attaching them to an email work. I cannot get the inline function to do anything. Also it's interesting that the contact 7 "green box" of validation success only comes in if I don't have Delivery Format set to both. Can they be related.
