Coming soon: Training. Have 30 seconds to spare? Help us choose our first course!
UPDATE: I made a video tutorial on how I created this effect over on Method & Craft.
In Illustrator, creating a uniform, yet random-feeling busted look can be challenging. I've been trying Effect > Texture > Grain (Horizontal & Vertical), then rasterizing at 72dpi and then live tracing back to vector.
Edit: lots of people have asked me about this so here's a few more details concerning this tip.
1) When applying the Grain Texture, set your Intensity to 82ish and your Contrast to 100.
2) When live tracing, try these settings and tinker with the Blur and the Path fitting. Maybe mess with the Threshold.

Michael Crabtree celebrated his 22nd birthday Monday. As an unwanted gift, multiple reports surfaced that the 49ers are poised to drop their offer to the No. 10 overall pick out of Texas Tech.
Citing team sources, Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports wrote that Crabtree's continued absence makes him less valuable to the 49ers on a prorated basis and added, "Translation: The team just reduced its offer and will continue to do so with each passing week."
A day earlier, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that the 49ers sent a letter to Crabtree "modifying" their offer.
Responding to the Fox report Monday, coach Mike Singletary acknowledged that such a letter had at least been discussed. But Singletary said he was unsure whether the 49ers had actually dropped the note in the mail.
"At this time in the year, that may be the case. I'm not sure," Singletary said. "I didn't want to hear about it any more after last Friday. I said, 'Hey, do what you have to do. I'm focused over here.'
"So I don't know if the letter's actually been sent. I know we talked about it. But at this point, the whole Michael Crabtree thing "... it's over there. I'm going to focus over here. We have our hands full with the 53 (players) that we have."
The 49ers' offer has been reported at five years and $20 million, with $16 million guaranteed. According to the Yahoo! report, the 49ers are willing to give Crabtree incentives that would take them to within a dollar less of the package given to No. 9 pick B.J. Raji. (Raji got a reported five-year deal for $28.5 million with almost $18 million guaranteed.)
"We won't go over that," the team source told Yahoo! "Otherwise, we're going to have the same problem next year, and the year after that "..."
"We got our tails whipped up front. It's as simple as that," Singletary said.
The 49ers managed only 21 rushing yards, a franchise low for a victory. Their previous low was 34 rushing yards, against the Packers in 1990 and the Rams in 1995.
Part of the problem was stadium noise — guard David Baas said it was the loudest he's ever heard there — but the bigger issue was a lack of execution.
"Don't let me paint for one second that's an excuse for us not playing well," Singletary said.
The right side of the line, in particular, had a rough game. Baas and right tackle Adam Snyder had difficulty containing Darnell Dockett, among others.
Singletary said Tony Pashos would get increased action in practice this week and might push Snyder for playing time. Pashos has 54 career starts, including all 16 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.
Whoever is up front, the 49ers will have to do better. Frank Gore managed 30 yards in 22 carries with a long of 6 yards.
The Cardinals, knowing the 49ers would run, played with eight- or nine-man fronts. But that shouldn't matter, Baas said.
"They can send the whole team up the middle," he said. "We just have to pick things up better than we did."
"There's a good chance of getting him back," Singletary said.
Jones threw away his sling about two weeks ago and said he has full range of motion in his shoulder. He plans on being ready for Sunday's home game against Seattle.
"I'm working to play," Jones said. "I've always believed that if you can practice, you can play."

Mickey (1918)
Tuesday September, 6 2016 at 11:30 PM
Films in BOLD will Air on TCM * | VIEW TCMDb ENTRY
The relationship of Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand, dramatized in the Jerry Herman Broadway musical Mack and Mabel, blended tumultuous romance and successful professional collaboration. After meeting at D.W. Griffith's Biograph Company in 1909, the pair embarked upon a love affair that lasted for several years. In 1912 Sennett established his Keystone Studios with Normand as an essential part of it; after first appearing as a bathing beauty, she starred in dozens of Sennett's "two-reelers" and became one of the studio's brightest stars.
Normand, who co-starred in successful movies with Charlie Chaplin and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle more than a dozen times each, occasionally wrote and directed her own movies and was considered instrumental in helping Chaplin develop his appeal as a film personality. At the height of her career in the late 1910s, Sennett established the Mabel Normand Feature Film Company. Normand even had her own studio. But the only film made by her production company was the silent feature Mickey (1918).
In the meantime Normand's plans to wed Sennett had exploded in 1915 when he began a relationship with actress Mae Busch. According to some sources, during an argument over the romantic entanglements Busch hit Normand in the head with a vase and caused a serious injury. Whatever the cause, Normand reportedly spent several weeks in a hospital critically injured and later became addicted to heroin and cocaine to ease the lingering pain. Her romance with Sennett was clearly over.
Even so, their professional relationship remained profitable, and Mickey became Normand's biggest success at the box office as well as the highest-grossing film of 1918. Sennett claimed that it grossed $18 million, a fortune in its day, although some suspected him of inflating the figure, which may have been closer to $8 million.
Many critics also consider Mickey to be Normand's most artistically successful movie, and it was one of the last in which her health was stable (although she would continue in films through 1927, working for Sennett, Samuel Goldwyn and others). She plays the title role, the orphaned daughter of a down-on-his-luck gold miner who is sent to live with a mean, snooty aunt and finds herself in an awkward romantic triangle involving her cousin (the nasty aunt's daughter) and another mining man.
Mickey, a child of nature, has a natural affinity with creatures -- dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, even squirrels -- and enjoys a nude diving scene (filmed with a long lens, of course). A theme song for the character, Mickey by Neil Moret and Harry Williams, became quite famous on its own and was recorded by a number of singers and bands.
Mickey blends a sense of drama with its humor. Sennett understood the subtleties of Normand's rather childlike yet lightly ironic screen character, which usually had a touch of Cinderella. He allowed her films to have a more gentle tone than his more frenetic slapstick comedies. It was vehicles like this that led Normand to be remembered as the silent era's "First Lady of Comedy."
The film was written by J.G. Hawks and directed by F. Richard Jones and James Young, with Normand and Sennett listed as producers. The advertising included the banner "Mack Sennett presents..." The supporting cast includes George Nichols, Minnie Devereaux, Tom Kennedy, Edgar Kennedy, Wheeler Oakman, Minta Durfee (then married to "Fatty" Arbuckle) and Lew Cody (who would later marry Normand).

Fire Pits
Outdoor Fire Pits Are Great for Warmth & Entertainment
Get Cozy Around A Fire
A fire pit will bring warmth and joy to any backyard or outdoor patio area. They're perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying quite nights at home, soaking up the spirit of the outdoors around a crackling fire.
Wood burning and gas fire pits are available in copper, iron, and many other durable yet stylish materials. Serenity Health offers many sizes and styles to accent your deck or patio perfectly. The right fire pit can quickly turn your outdoor area into your favorite entertainment space as well as a welcome retreat after a long day.
Fire Pits for Every Outdoor Space
Whether it's your backyard, your patio, or your deck, you'll find the perfect fire pit for your outdoor space at Serenity Health. Shop now and start enjoying your deck or patio long into the beautiful evenings and nights of spring, summer, and fall.
Finding the Right Fire Pit
When selecting a fire pit, there are a few factors to consider. Once you've narrowed down the options, you'll have no trouble finding the perfect fire pit for your outdoor space.
- Materials: Fire pits are manufactured from a range of materials, including steel, cast iron, copper, and other metals, stone, and lightweight faux-stone. Slate, ceramic, or marble tiles are common decorative accents for fire pits, as well.
- Size & Shape: The size of your outdoor area will, of course, influence the size of the fire pit you purchase. Remember: the larger the fire pit, the larger the fire; the larger the fire, more fuel it takes and the harder it can be to control.
- Fuel: A gas-fueled fire pit is preferred bythose who want a brighter, cleaner burning fire without the hassle of purchasing firewood. Wood burning models appeal to those who don't want to install gas lines and who appreciate the smell and crackle of a wood fire. Remember to check local ordinances in your community to find out what types of fire pits are allowed.
- Decorating Style: No matter what style of décor you prefer, Serenity Health has an outdoor fire pit to accentuate it. You'll find rustic, modern, classic, casual, contemporary, Asian-inspired, and many other styles of fire pits for sale—you're sure to find the right one to match your décor.

The Big Mac: Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and a big data-driven quality assurance program for the bun. (Photo courtesy of McDonald's.)
Big data helps mail your letters, it makes your burgers better, and it allows intelligence agencies to piece together disparate pieces of data into insights that might help them foil the next terrorist attack.
Big data early adopters were a hot topic March 12 at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association's second annual Big Data Technology Symposium, as speakers briefed an audience of industry and federal executives on businesses and agencies already making use of big data.
Keynote speaker Rita Sallam, research vice president for Gartner, outlined several successful uses of big data – sometimes in tongue-in-cheek fashion that had the audience laughing – but the many examples provided both inspiration and solace to those whose agencies have yet to jump into the big data fray.
Noteworthy private sector successes included:
Does your agency need big data? Maybe not.
Big data's big hurdle: Federal policy.
On the public-sector side of things, big data use cases included: the Centers for Disease Control leveraging analytics tools to predict the flu in real-time; the Department of Treasury using complex algorithms to predict insider trading and detect fraud; and the United States Postal Service using a complex mesh of supercomputers and 16 terabytes of in-memory computing to sift through 400 billion records in real time to combat fraud.
Successes though they may be, Sallam and other speakers were clear: Working big data solutions do not happen overnight.
"The reality is these solutions involved changes to organizations that have been successful with them," Sallam said. "It takes new skills, cultural attitudes -- are you even prepared to hear the truth if you get it? Do your processes support new information" coming in?
"What's possible is great, and value is huge, but executing is not easy," Sallam said.
Dominic Sale, senior policy analyst in the Office of Management and Budget's Office of E-Government and Information Technology, said the government is "swimming in data," both structured and unstructured. Even though the "meticulous capture of every government function has been going on for years," leading to a smorgasbord of potentially exploitable records to glean insights from, Sale said cultural, legal, security and privacy barriers remain in the way, as does a "lack in talent" that agencies can recruit to analyze insights.
Yet the time is now for big data, Sale said.
"This is the right time, the technology has arrived – there's a reason we weren't having a big data conference ten years ago," Sale said. "We simply can't afford to wait longer. As government, it's imperative to serve people."

"United States Postal Service [is] using a complex mesh of supercomputers and 16 terabytes of in-memory computing to sift through 400 billion records in real time to combat fraud. " Ummm... I wouldn't hold the USPS up as a paragon of "success". However, I think that you might have identified one of the reasons that USPS is failing. Why do they need a network of supercomputers whose capability exceeds that of NOAA's weather forecast centers? Didn't the mail get delivered back when there were no ZIP codes or barcodes? USPS needs to take a step backwards, away from big data and focus on getting "back to basics."

We all have a unique story to tell
Whether an individual or a global brand, we are defined by the stories we tell. But how do you tell your story? Since 2004 Most Interesting Person has been developing a little idea to help do this, called The Trail.
A trail explores the character of an idea through the eyes of people with diverse perspectives on shared interests. The story is told through a series of connected films. Each interviewee leads to the next interviewee, the most interesting person they know.
Working at city level, and with partners such as Philips, Van Gogh Museum and Nokia's Social Media Week, we pinpoint the people and relationships that underpin brands, culture and society through powerful story-telling. Read about our partner case-studies here.

You could say the Festival du nouveau cinéma (FNC) is 43 years old this year — or you could say it's 43 years young. Nicolas Girard Deltruc and Claude Chamberlan would clearly prefer the latter.
Montrealers have always had a fondness for Jean Paul Gaultier, and he apparently for us, having accepted a proposal from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to mount a quasi-retrospective exhibition. The show, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, is a celebration of the designer's humanism and embrace of beauty in all its guises.
Cinephiles rejoice: the 43rd Festival du nouveau cinéma (Oct. 7 to 19) is full of treats, further cementing its standing as Montreal's go-to event for movie-lovers, with new works from Wim Wenders, Jean-Luc Godard and David Cronenberg; American productions by Quebec directors Philippe Falardeau and Jean-Marc Vallée; a dance film by Carole Laure and a Björk concert film. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The full lineup includes 380 films, including 152 features and 228 shorts, from 55 countries.
It may come as a surprise to those who spend most of their time staring at glowing screens that Montreal has a dynamic theatre scene offering a range of choices.

The York Georgian Society was founded in 1939 to promote the preservation and care of Georgian buildings in and around York, England, while fostering the study and appreciation of them. It is the second oldest society outside London devoted to the Georgian era. The Society's remit extends beyond architecture and the crafts associated with building to include the arts, culture and society of the period from 1660, the year of George I's birth, to 1837, the year of William IV's death.
14 March 2016
HANNAH HOGAN has won the York Georgian Society's Patrick Nuttgens Award for 2016. A certificate of high commendation, in an extremely competitive field, goes to Madeleine Pelling.
The winner is in the second year of a part-time PhD in the Department of History at the University of York. Hannah Hogan's thesis, Work, Identity and Sociability in Yorkshire, 1650–1750, will contribute towards a new history of labour in the early modern period, addressing a time-span hitherto little explored by social and cultural historians. The Award will enable her to continue archival research across the historic county of Yorkshire – in record offices at Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Northallerton and Wakefield.
Madeleine Pelling is a first-year PhD student in the University's Department of History of Art. Her research explores collections of antiquities and natural history objects assembled by women in the eighteenth century, focusing on that of Margaret Cavendish-Bentinck, Duchess of Portland. A smaller cash prize will help to support her visits to archives at Nottingham University and Longleat House, Wiltshire.
Patrick Nuttgens (1930–2004) was the first Director of the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies within the University of York, and successively Secretary, Chairman and President of the York Georgian Society. The Award, named in his honour and initially offered in 2008, is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the Society and the University of York. It provides for a grant to be awarded annually to support a PhD student researching an aspect of the Georgian period.
THE SOCIETY'S PROGRAMME of winter lectures for 2016–17 is announced: please visit the Lectures page for more information. Members will receive the usual printed programme card in the summer.

I'm still getting a header error in single post search results.
could someone else try searching for a word that only appears in a single post, and see what happens, please?
ooh, is the google hilite is included i fear problems too... :S
sushubh, I haven't enabled Google hilite, if you're suggesting that could be the cause of the problem.
Tons of bug fixes
Speed/query enhancements
Better XFN support
Updated all importers
Fixed duplicate indicies
KSES and allowed tags fixes
Future posts show up in admin
Easier upgrade from b2
Updated bookmarklet for Safari
And more I can't think of.
Hi all,
in my blog I used this for show all categories with a number of post for each category:
<?php list_cats(0, 'All', 'name', 'asc', 'blah', true, 0, 1, 0); ?>
This work weel in 1.0.0 but in 1.0.1 the numebr of post aren't showed.
I click on edit this on a comment and I don't see a delete option!
:O) is it for real?
Ain't that a thing which should be there! :D
I installed the latest (1.01 beta) and I get the following error at the category list:
SQL/DB Error:
[Table 'wp_reinier.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_ID, COUNT(wp_post2cat.post_id) AS cat_count FROM wp_categories LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (cat_ID = category_id) LEFT JOIN wp_posts ON (ID = post_id) GROUP BY category_id
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in/home/sites/site33/web/area21/wp-includes/template-functions.phpon line 1513
My prefix is wp3_ So I think there is the problem somewhere. Further, I have no problems as far as I can see for now.
You edited this line in teh config file b4 upgrading?
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
Yes, otherwise nothing would work.
Reinier: try running wp-admin/upgrade.php
I've udated to all the latest files, and now I get this instead:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in wp-blog-header.php on line 337
This happens when searching for a string that only occurs in one post.
That's line 337.
lars, i believe since u are a member, u should see an edit link in ur posts... :|
Sushubh, I just fixed the bug about creating the index for comment_approved. But as you saw, it didn't really hurt anything anyhow.
a) "-" The "Post" screen is AFU under Mozilla 0.71 - works fine under IE 6.x (which is not my preferred browser).
b) "+" Yikes. Can we please dump the checkbox list and go back to a drop down menu for category selection (at least as an option) on the Post page? I've got dozens of categories, some of them fairly long, and the result is messy and annoying... can't you enable people to select multiple categories some other way (kudos to that improvement - though it would be nice if you pointed out that this was now possible).
c) "-" Kudos to putting "Post" on a separate page... I've got so much data in my weblog, that sometimes even on DSL it takes a while to load and render...
d) "-" The WordPress logo image in the upper right hand corner doesn't render properly under Mozilla 0.7.1
e) Kudos to putting "edit this" on the "view site" page...
If you are actually using Mozilla 0.71, you're out of luck. The latest version 1.5 and 0.71 was released more than two or three years ago. If you're using Firebird .71 then you probably need to do a force reload.
I may load this update in to JezzJournal later this week. Too busy right now. :o
I meant Firebird 0.71, sorry about that... and you were probably correct about the old CSS being cached. Looks o.k. now.
You can do "multiple select" in a drop down with "cntl", right? Seems a lot cleaner than a bunch of checkboxes taking up real estate on the right hand side...
Very nice - keeps the Word Press team's records of smooth and effortless upgrades intact (I swear, nothing else I've ever dealt with under *nix has been this easy to admin and upgrade).
Not in a drop down, but in a scrollable select box, yes.
Lars, you need the edit_link tag in your template to see, well, the edit links. Check out the default
index.php for usage.
I'm still on .72. I'm waiting for 1.x to become Gold or something, unless that's allready happened.
i believe it went platinum. get 1.01 when it is released as a final version!
the hide_empty parameter for the list_cats() function doesn't seem to actually hide empty categories... I added this code to the function, at the beginning of the foreach loop at the end of the function, and it works fine now:
if (intval($hide_empty) == 1 and $category_posts["$category->cat_ID"] == 0) continue;

AbstractEver since the discovery of small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) a little over a decade ago, it has been highly sought after for its potential as a therapeutic agent for many diseases. In this review, we discuss the promising possibility of siRNA to be used as a drug to treat acute brain injuries such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. First, we will give a brief and basic overview of the principle of RNA interference as an effective mechanism to decrease specific protein expression. Then, we will review recent in vivo studies describing siRNA research experiments/treatment options for acute brain diseases. Lastly, we will discuss the future of siRNA as a clinical therapeutic strategy against brain diseases and injuries, while addressing the current obstacles to effective brain delivery.

UK's biggest passive house development begins
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Development, Environment
passive house
Work has begun on the UK's largest development of passive houses -virtually air tight homes which can lower energy bills and cut carbon emissions by up to 90%.
Sustainable property developer Citu will deliver 107 of the homes at a site in Sheffield - Little Kelham.
Passive homes minimise air leakage so that any heat created within the property is not lost because of poor insulation.
The homes use the latest in insulation technology, triple-glazed windows, balanced energy recovery ventilation and are heated mostly using 'passive' energy from electrical equipment, body heat and solar gains.
The principles of passive houses system began in Germany in the late 1980s, where they are known as 'Passivhaus'.
Only 15-20,000 passive houses have been built across the globe.
The scheme's first homes will be ready for occupation this summer. Prices will range from £115,000 to £280,000.
Chris Thompson, managing director and founder of Citu, said: "Passivhaus is recognised as the worldwide standard for energy efficient building, so it makes perfect sense for us to offer this at Little Kelham. Why wouldn't you build something which could help people save money in the long run?
"As a developer it is important for us look at ways in which our homes, can help those living in them lead a more sustainable lifestyle, offering them a greater choice and providing a bigger push for energy efficient homes.
"With government goals to reduce carbon emissions by 2016 and buildings accounting for 48% of the world's carbon emissions, demand for homes which are far more efficient and actually conserve rather than waste energy, will only increase.
"At Little Kelham, our energy efficient houses will go further offering people more than just a home, as we hope to transform the site from a property development into a community through its design and co-operative principles.
