I said, ?That?s Darth Vader, baby girl.? She says, ?Is he a bad guy?? I said, ?Yeah, he?s a bad guy.? She goes, ?Does he get to do whatever he wants?? And I literally had this parenting moment where I?m like, Oh my God, I?m looking at me, because I always rooted for the bad guy when I was a kid. I said, ?No, he has a boss.? She asked, ?Who is his boss?? I said, ?The Emperor.? She said, ?Who?s The Emperor?? I said, ?I am! Now be quiet and watch the parade.?

Robert Downey Jr. Is Fierce In 'Iron Man' Sequel Fight Scenes
So quickly after wrapping production on Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. is keeping up his marathon pace that he's been on since she first sky-rocketed into a comeback. Here our favorite formerly strung out actor is, training for fight scenes for Iron Man 2. And RDJ even has the bruises and scratches on the side of his head to show for it.
MTV theorizes
that this hand-to-hand combat training speaks to the possibility that
Rob's character Tony Stark might be prepping for a major fight scene
outside of his trademark protective suit.
We can't be sure. All we know for certain is that RDJ's facial hair is amazing.

A Brighter Picture for the Minneapolis Real Estate Market
The stats for new Minneapolis real estate listings seem to be following their usual seasonal increase as spring approaches. There were 1780 new listings in the Twin Cities for the week of Februrary 9th. The good news is that this is a decrease of 16.2% for decrease from the the same week last year. The market is still glutted with properties, but this is a significant improvement.
Wait… it still gets better! The number of pending sales for the week of February 7th was up 745, comprising an increase of 17.5% from last year. Ths means that the increase in sales is outpacing the number of new listings, bringing month's supply of inventory down to 7.7 months, at a significant decrease of 13.5% from last year.
It will be interesting to see how the $8000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers will impact the Minneapolis real estate market. It certainly won't hurt. Combine this with an increase of 35.4% in the housing affordability increase and record-low interest rates, and we could possibly be looking at a substantially better market by the end of spring.

July 17, 2013
By Brian Rice
HOOVER, Ala. -- The offensive line is expected to be the strength of the Tennessee Volunteers in 2013, and that strength was put on full display for the first time on Wednesday afternoon at the Hyatt Regency Wynfrey as the Vols met the 1,200 assembled media at the SEC Football Media Days.
Senior Ja'Wuan James made his second trip to Hoover to meet the media as the established leader of the unit that has been rated by some in the media as one of the top offensive lines in the country. James, who has started all 37 games in his Tennessee career, said he and his linemates relish the opportunity to provide the leadership role for the 2013 Volunteers.
"We are the group with the most experience and I like that," James said. "The young guys can look to us and it's on our shoulders to build confidence in them. I've been trying all offseason to build the confidence in the younger guys, and they've been doing a good job of maturing and stepping up. Their opportunity is now and I think they're ready to go out there and prove it."
Junior Antonio "Tiny" Richardson, another anchor of the Vol line, also relishes the leadership role his unit has been given.
"It all starts with leadership," Richardson said. "That starts with our line because we have the most experience on the team."
Growing into the team's most experienced collection of athletes has been a long process, and it hasn't always been an easy one. Both players reflected on the struggles as the line gelled over the past 3 seasons.
"It's been three years of hard work, just grinding, grinding, grinding," Richardson said. "Two years ago, they were saying that we had the worst line in the country, now they are saying that we are one of the best, so it just shows how hard we've worked as a unit."
James echoed his teammates' assessment.
"Two years ago, everyone was talking about how bad we were, giving up 45 sacks in a season," he said. (But) we've worked hard and the effort has been instilled in us."
Head coach Butch Jones said both the talent and the leadership of the offensive line would be critical to the success of his inaugural team.
"You win games up front," Jones said. "Obviously to have a returning offensive line that we have is very comforting. They have a lot of expectations going into this season, rightfully so. Then there's the responsibility of those older players up front to really mentor our freshmen, so when they leave the program that they understand the standard and expectation that it is to play offensive line at the University of Tennessee.
"They've done a great job and they've been great ambassadors for our football program. "
For Richardson, the feeling is mutual.
"He's always trying to build a person relationship with his players," he said of Jones. "When you have a coach like that, it's going to make you want to run through walls for him.

Build Separate Cabinet for Microwave
I am new and this is my firt post for a rental property. Tenant moved out and enlarged existing kitchen. Was able to keep existing cabinets (purchased 3 yrs ago) and told contractor to install dishwasher. Long story short, after rearranging cabinets ended up with an empty space above one base cabinet next to a wall. Can not find the existing cabinets anywhere and thought about installing a shelf or make a cabinet for a microwave oven. It would go between a wall on left and cabinet on right. It looks funny to leave an empty space above a base cabinet. Just finished installing new floor, etc and do not want to go buy new cabinets when I only need one. Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated.
No pictures?
Is there power in that empty space.
Is there going to be room for ventalation of the micro wave?
How about just installing a set of doors.

Attached is a photo. Not sure what you mean by doors. I am open to suggestions.
There's a lot you can do there. Any kind of shelving unit will work for plates, spices. Or a Norman Rockwell picture, or a calendar. Do you need a space for a microwave? You will have to run a circuit if that is the case. My wife's a decorator....trust me there are a million things you can do with that space.:yes:
Build Separate Cabinet for Microwave
Your right, do not need to put a microwave in a rental. I am going to try a few more places for cabinets but I can't help think it will look funny without a wall cabinet. Although it is a rental it is a big house and just want the kitchen to look right. One other thing I thought of was a wrought iron wine rack (less the wine)
Thanks for the advice and I will let you know how it turns out.
The wine rack is an excellent idea.:thumbup:

Eagles To Retire QB McNabb's Number
What a scene at the Eagles' Novacare Complex on Monday afternoon where you saw a jam packed auditorium filled with Eagles employees, media, family, friends, former and current players that had the honor to share the field with one of the greatest players to put on that midnight green jersey, QB Donovan Mcnabb.
It was an emotional day for all involved but got even more emotional when Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made the announcement that the organization will induct McNabb into the Eagles Wall of Fame and retire his #5 jersey when the Eagles host the Kansas City Chiefs and his former coach, Andy Reid on Thursday September 19th. He will be the 9th player to have his numbered retired by the franchise, the 1st quarterback. A choked up Mcnabb says this was a great honor for him.
"It is awesome. It still hasn't sinked in yet," McNabb said. "But as a parent this is a great feeling because you always want your children to look up to you as a superhero. That you did something great in their eyes and now they will always see that number."
This was definintely a different side of McNabb that we hardly saw in his 11 year career in the city of brotherly love. We saw a emotional man that really showed his true feelings. He admitted that it brought a tear to his eye when the Eagles Tribute video of Mcnabb's career with the Eagles showed him hoisting the NFC Championhsip trophy and declared that his greatest moment in his career. We saw a more open Mcnabb with the media and the fans mentioning he still wishes he could of brought home that championship and go off into the sunset.
"After 11 yrs, I feel like I owe the fans that. An opportunity 4 me to say thank u and I'll always bleed green. I truly love you all," Mcnabb says in his speech to the fans. "We all played the game with the same goal in mind and it's disappointing to all we couldn't get the job done. But the fans know i gave it my all whenever i was out on that field. In any relationship you want it to be that storybook ending. I thought I would I would retire here in Philadelphia and it left a bad taste in my mouth it didn't end that way."
It was a day to remember Donovan not only as a player but a person as well where we heard from former teammates and friends, Brian Dawkins and Brian Westbrook embracing McNabb's legacy. And we also heard from Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie on what the former quarterback meant to this franchise.
"Donovan McNabb was a franchise-changing quarterback for the Eagles and helped raise the bar of success for this franchise during his 11-year tenure with the team," said Lurie. "On the field, the numbers that Donovan posted during his time in an Eagles uniform speak for themselves. He is the franchise leader in nearly every major passing category and is the all-time winningest quarterback in Eagles history. His unique ability to make plays through the air and with his legs made him one of the most dynamic players this city has ever seen. Donovan was the face and the focal point of so many of our great Eagles teams and he helped make this franchise a contender each and every year that he was here."
Lurie wanted to makeit known that he felt it is important to honor your greatest players and by doing this he feels he is doing just that.
"The number '5' has become synonymous with one of the greatest eras of Eagles football," added Lurie, "And ensuring that no one else will ever wear Donovan's number, we honor one of the greatest playmakers to ever wear an Eagles uniform."
We just saw an open McNabb with the media. Something we didn't see during his 11 year teunure here in Philadelphia. And we got his side and thoughts on a lot of controversal matters during his time with the Eagles.
McNabb addressed the dark times in Philadelphia with the whole falling out with former Eagles WR Terrell Owens saying it could of been something "special" and he still thinks about what could of been. And that he felt that it divided the locker room and making teammates choose sides which tore it apart.
He was also asked if he felt Andy Reid still wanted him he openly said, "Yes." He felt that Reid's hands were tied and was forced to trade him. McNabb asked Reid on whose decision it was and Andy wouldn't give him the answer so he said to himself, "It's time to move on."
But the question everyone constantly debates is, did Donovan Mcnabb have a hall of fame career? Looking at the stats it's compelling and still debatable when you compare numbers to other quarterbacks who have been inducted...
Entering the 2013 season, McNabb ranks among the NFL's top-25 quarterbacks all-time in wins (12th), career passing yardage (17th), career passing touchdowns (22nd), attempts (14th), completions (14th), passer rating (24th) and interception percentage (4th). McNabb also set an NFL record in 2004 with 24 consecutive completions. In addition, he is one of only three players in NFL history with over 35,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards, along with Hall of Famers John Elway and Fran Tarkenton. He was a six-time pro bowl selection, took his team to five NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl berth. But to McNabb it doesn't matter either way.
"I didn't play the game for individual achievements. I played the game because I wanted to win and for the enjoyment. If it happens, it happens but if I had a vote, I would vote myself in, At least I'm honest."
Whether he gets in or not, we know it isn't debatable that he will go down as one of the greatest Eagles quarterbacks in franchise history. McNabb is at the top of nearly every passing category in the Eagles all-time record book. The franchise's all-time leader in pass attempts (4,746), completions (2,801), yards (32,873) and touchdowns (216), he became one of just four players in NFL history to amass 30,000 passing yards, 200 TD passes, 3,000 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns in his career. And in McNabb's eyes you can't take his achievements away.
"Not many teams can say they did what we did," Mcnabb said. "In the 2000s there were three teams that had the highest winning percentage in the league and contended every year, and we were one of them. No one can take that away."

The ongoing fight for control of the Utah Republican Party between the right-wing faction and the more moderate business interests has as its epicenter in the Davis County School Board race, which is supposed to be non-partisan.
The core issue dividing the moderates and the tea party advocates in Utah's GOP is education. The argument is whether a commitment should be made to strengthen the existing public education model or to tear it down, break it up into disparate parts and privatize it wherever possible.
To that end, the top two offices of the Davis County Republican Party have been captured by tea party devotees who align with the politically active Eagle Forum and other ideology-driven groups that have tried to wrest control from the public education establishment ever since they lost the 2007 statewide fight over taxpayer-funded private school tuition vouchers.
The Utah Legislature, in concert with private school and home school interests, had passed a bill to give tax credits to help parents pay private school tuition if they wanted to pull their children out of the public school system. The law was repealed overwhelmingly in a ballot referendum later that year, but the voucher advocates have been chipping away at the school system ever since.
This year, the Republican Party in Davis County has become actively involved in three Davis School Board races in which tea-party favorites are running against education establishment candidates. Several pieces of literature, party emails and a questionnaire on the party's website suggest leaders in the Davis County GOP are trying to influence the outcome of the non-partisan races even though all the candidates Republican.
Two incumbents, Barbara Smith and James Clark, are being challenged by Sandra Mountcastle and Larry Smith, respectively. The third school board race is an open seat, contested by retired public school administrator Kathie Bone and challenger Paul Prier, who is the chosen candidate, along with Mountcastle and Smith, of the tea party faction.
The chair of the Davis County Republican Party is Kris Kimball, a leader in the conservative United Women's Forum, which is closely allied with the Utah Eagle Forum, which is constantly using its influence at the Legislature to push its agenda at the expense of the public education system.
The vice chair is Phil Wright, who also is aligned with the tea party faction. The Republican Party fingerprints on the school board races include:
• Sponsorship of meet-the-candidate events where questions are tailored to favor the tea party candidates, sending questionnaires to the non-partisan school board candidates that are based on the Davis County Republican platform, then posting the results on the party's Web site.
• Sponsoring meet-the-candidates events to showcase favored candidates.
• A recent Davis County communication to party activists reminded them to get out the vote, the date when early voting ends, and invited them to a meet-the-candidate event with Prier, the tea party candidate for the open seat.
• An unattributed flier also endorsed the three tea-party candidates and included what has been shown to be misinformation about the actions of the current Davis County School Board.
The three tea-party candidates also have been publicly endorsed by Davis School Board member Peter Cannon, who is usually the one dissenting vote on board actions. Cannon, a Republican activist with tea party credentials, has said that with these three new members, his views will be endorsed by the new majority on the board.
Cannon is famous, or infamous, for advocating such ideas as forcing children on the reduced-cost school lunch program to stand in a different line in the school cafeteria and be issued different-colored lunch tickets.

Greg BifflePosted by on December 12, 2008
Stock car racing superstar and Animal League friend and supporter, Greg Biffle, who finished third in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, is always envisioning the finish line. Now he's heading for another victory, this time to end animal euthanasia.
As spokesperson for SPAY/USA a nationwide network and referral service for affordable spay/neuter services and a program of North Shore Animal League America, Biffle has his eye on the prize and is championing the prevention of unwanted litters. He is convinced that by raising awareness, more pet owners will follow his lead and alter their pets, leading to a dramatic decrease in euthanasia.
Greg and his wife Nicole founded the Greg Biffle Foundation to create awareness and serve as an advocate to improve the well-being of animals by engaging the power and passion of the motorsports industry. To this end, Greg recently filmed a PSA on the importance of spay/neuter.
Here Greg is shown with his wife Nicole and his three beautiful dogs Foster, Gracie and Savannah.

Millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are euthanized each year in the U.S. because there simply are not enough homes for them all…

Is it you that wants to go to law school, or am I confusing you with someone else?
If it is you, I don't think you should get any more stuff like this until you find out if you got in or not. Your nose piercing and three ear holes could already be an issue. My law friends who have that kind of stuff have mostly all removed it or are contemplating it or are constantly having people tell them it should. There are very few offices where it would be considered acceptable (mine being one of them) and you really wouldn't want to be going on interviews with metal bars sticking out of your orifices. Some judges might even comment negatively on it in front of your clients. And your clients themselves might not like it (in our office, it would make you more real to them, but we're such a tiny minority in the profession.) Plus it could cause you hassles going through the metal detectors at court or the jails.
Thanks guys! I made it through the night without sleeping on my left side... of course that's my favorite sleeping position.
I am having a bit of difficulty with cleaning. The piercing is in such a tight spot and I guess the swelling is causing the ring to be pretty stiff to move. I want to make sure I am getting the saline around the piercing thoroughly but not totally aggravate it. Any tips/suggestions? Tell me it gets easier to move the ring once the swelling goes down...

I have had my galaxy for a couple of years now and this is one thing that has bugged me from the day I got it.
Once you miss a call or a text, there is no audible reminder.
It is annoying because any normal phone has this function.
So, does anyone know how to make this happen? is there an app?

insulating heated garage(retrofit)- polyiso placement & keeping pipes from freezing?
We've got an attached, heated garage (hot water baseboard) that is currently uninsulated -- bare concrete block walls on the 3 walls not adjacent to house. Two of those walls are above grade, and the third is mostly below grade (except the far front upper corner). The original plan was to use rigid foam (polyiso) affixed to the interior of the concrete block, then furring strips (1x3s?), then sheetrock (for fire code). However, we've got some questions/issues, that I'm hoping we can get feedback on -- first related to the insulation type and placement, and then regarding the plumbing (if/how to work around, prevent freeze-ups, etc.).
Regarding Insulation:
- Is there polyiso foam board that is fire rated so as to not need (sheetrock) covering? I've read as much, but would like to know brands and availability. We need a 20 minute fire barrier on those walls I believe, per local code (in Anchorage, AK). I don't believe such a product is offered locally, so if anyone has ordering info., that'd be great.
- What's the best way to affix the polyiso to the (age 1969) concrete block, and the furring strips to the polyiso? I'm thinking some combo of Liquid Nails and screws/nails, but my husband is nervous about nailing/screwing into the older block, since it's the foundation and could be brittle (and we wouldn't be able to line up with mortar, realistically). Any suggestions? We're new to this, obviously....
- Admitting that I'm still learning about the properties of heat loss, air sealing, insulating, etc., I am looking for guidance in how to place the foam board. In one resource, I read that floor to ceiling continuous foam board as a first layer is ideal to prevent thermal bridging. (http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings...s/db/35017.pdf) Elsewhere, I read that due to the wall needing to adjust to moisture exposure, leaving a 6 inch gap in the foam board at the bottom of the wall can help prevent moisture problems. (http://www.swinter.com/services/docu...Insulation.pdf) We currently have baseboard units attached to what looks like a 2x4 along parts of two of the walls we need to insulate (with 3/4" copper piping running vertically up those walls in three places - see questions/concerns in next section of post). We'd like to minimize disruption/relocation of that plumbing, so the idea of leaving a 6" gap in the board would benefit us that way... but it seems that doing so would be allowing the cold to just exit the wall in that location (apologies if I'm totally off here - but I thought the idea was to close any/all gaps - maybe I'm getting mixed up with air sealing). In my mind, I could see the logic in leaving the 6" gap on the below grade wall (as it doesn't have chance to release moisture to the outside except for front corner), but that on the two above grade walls covering with polyiso from floor to ceiling would be best (it's painted concrete on the exterior - so may be able to release moisture that way?). Any suggestions/feedback?
Regarding plumbing:
- As I wrote above, the garage hot water baseboard units are on the two side walls (one above and one below grade), currently attached to the concrete by a 2x4. There are 3 vertical 3/4" copper pipes that run up along those walls that we are trying to work around, along with a horizontal pipe along one corner as it exits the living space and connects to the baseboard unit on that side. We'd like to not have to relocate those pipes, but rather, are trying to figure out if we can get some polyiso behind them, and then also wrap the pipes to provide additional insulation. However, due to lack of space behind the pipes, we wouldn't be able to put the full amount of polyiso behind (we're going to be shooting for R14 on the above grade and R10 on the below grade walls). We'd be sheetrocking over this then (assuming we don't find a fire-rated polyiso that doesn't need covering).
- In a cold winter climate like Anchorage (with temps often around or even below zero), how much insulation should we aim for behind the pipes (between the pipes and these exterior concrete walls), to avoid freeze-ups? I figure we *may* be able to get an inch (~R5) of polyiso behind the pipes in their current placement, then maybe foam wrap insulation around the pipes (trying to get the thicker stuff). I talked to one plumber up here recently who didn't think that plan would be a problem (re: freezing), but I'm hesitant to put the pipes behind the sheetrock (cut off from warmer garage air) without a whole lot of insulation behind it. So far we haven't had problems with freezing out there (except for when the circ. pump went bad during a really cold snap - so understandable), but that's with the pipes exposed to the warmer inside air (between 40-50 degrees in there normally). Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks much for your assistance (and sorry for the long post),

I have a carbon fiber vortex generator I'd either like to sell, or trade for a set of lowering springs for a 2002 WRX.
The generator is in good shape except for a corner which was damaged in shipping. the corner isnt crushed, the GEL COAT is just cracked. All it needs is a fresh gelcoat on the one corner.
I'd preferably like to trade for the lowering springs, but I might be willing to sell it outright.
PM me for pictures, and offers.

@FinalDestiny I don't have an answer for you on portfolios. That is a tricky one, but I don't think Envato is disallowing portfolio post types, so you are still free to do those as you wish.
The mentality that "Standards" mean you can't be creative is so horribly wrong. By embracing standards, theme and plugin developers can build things that work in tandem instead of constantly fighting conflicts.
OriginalEXE said
mordauk saidNo, they don't if done right: https://gist.github.com/bitfade/4555047
RafalBorowski saidNo, you cannot do that. Those filters cause major compatibility problems with hundreds of plugins. I've personally lost 100s of support hours due to those filters. Utilize this instead: justintadlock.com/archives/2012/10/03/grid-columns-wordpress-plugin
2. About the wpautop – I know we cannot screw with the wp core but can we still filter for example our shortcodes to avoid p and br tags injection all over the theme?
Yes, they can be done right. Unfortunately the vast majority of themes that have implemented those have not done it right. It became so much of a problem that it's been put on the "black list" because it's so easy to get wrong.
Rely on a plugin like Justin Tadlocks (a truly top notch developer that is respected and revered throughout the entire WP dev community) and you don't even need to worry about this.
@UXbarn For contact forms, there are several reasons:
1. If a user has a theme that provides a "Contact Page" template and they utilize it for their contact form, then switch themes to one that doesn't have a contact page template, the user will lose their contact form.
2. There are four extremely popular and well-supported plugins that provide all of the basic contact form functionality plus so much more. No matter what theme a user is using, their contact page will still work if the form is provided by a plugin. Ninja Forms, Formiddable Forms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7 . . . all are excellent options.
3. It is more worth a theme developer's time to invest time making the theme (styles, layouts, etc) than it is to focus on building a basic or advanced contact form. In 30 minutes, you can easily provide full support for any of the plugins I"ve mentioned by writing a few lines of CSS.
@FinalDestiny If you need 50 plugins to replicate your layouts, you're doing something seriously wrong.
Quick (by no means conclusive) count:
1. A plugin for a contact form 2. A plugin for a page builder (assuming Envato decides to not allow these) 3. A plugin for ecommerce, if your theme supports it 4. A plugin (maybe) for pricing tables. These are still allowed, so entirely optional 5. A plugin for columns
So I count 5, and 3 of those are optional for the vast majority of themes.

I do not write a contact form because i think that it will sell my theme i write it for the following reasons:
1. Seamless integration. Plugins looks like a Porche fixed with Beetle parts. it's ugly nobody wants ugly.
2.Saves me time because I do not have to spend the time supporting all the plugins that's out there, and do not enqueue javascript correctly and and and …....... I code once and support rarely.
3. a lot of plugin authors support is notoriously absent and if a client does not get support from the authors they will come to me and send me 100 mails for assistance, and get angry if i give them the run around. Writing my own functionality means that i will save on time. save on support and have happy customers.
4. A lot of the customers do not choose the plugins that they are getting, but the developers that they appointed chose that. 3 years from buying the theme the customers clicks update on a plugin and all sorts of hell is loose and the developers do not fix their stuff they send the customer to the theme author. Writing my own code fixes all of that.5. Thinking that the customer will not try different plugins in his lifetime is a crazy idea, and there's absolutely zero convergence between plugins, so the "loose my functionality if i change themes" is stupid. They loose it anyhow when they try a new plugin
1. You're clearly using the wrong plugins or are completely ignorant to some of the great options out there. Gravity Forms, Formiddable, Ninja Forms—All three are excellent options that look and work great. In order to support them you need nothing more than a few lines of CSS.
2. Saves you time by spending hours writing your own contact form functionality (assuming it's not just a simple email form that can be done in 20 minutes)? Utilizing an existing solution that provides far more advanced functionality than you can write in an hour actually saves so much more time. The three plugins I mentioned above are lead by development teams that operate their entire business around their form plugins. Trying to claim that they don't offer support or that they don't fix bugs is nothing short of pure arrogance.
3. Then choose the well supported plugins, like the three I mentioned.
4. Using the TGM Activation class you can choose the recommended plugin(s) for your buyers. If the customers choose to use something else, that's their decision.

mordauk saidSure, why not just give a standard theme like TwentyEleven + 4-5 plugins, and ask authors to just change colors in it? Because you are not allowed to add anything else in it?
I've mentioned this to Japh, but one of the best things Envato could do along with these new regulations is to provide a list of "standard plugins" that all themes should consider supporting.
I don't mean for Envato to create these standard plugins, I mean for Envato to list a set of recommended plugins.
I keep seeing this (summarized):
" So I have to create a separate plugin for all of my short codes? Now we'll have hundreds of different short code plugins from all the different theme authors."
The point that everyone who has said this is missing that NO, you should not be creating your own custom plugins for all of your short codes, you should be relying on freely available plugins that are already released.
For example, if you want to support columns in your theme, simply use the Grid Columns plugin from Justin Tadlock: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2012/10/03/grid-columns-wordpress-plugin
If you want to include support for a contact form, style Ninja Forms, Contact Form 7, or Gravity Forms.
The point is not to overly confuse things by requiring that you separate your own functionality into plugins, but that you allow for functionality via existing plugins.
There is zero reason (absolutely zero) for any theme to ever build in their own contact form, or their own column short codes.
I've mentioned this to Japh, but one of the best things Envato could do along with these new regulations is to provide a list of "standard plugins" that all themes should consider supporting.
Many of the "standard" plugins, such as Contact Form 7, are so ubiquitously used by users that it's in the best interest for theme authors to support them anyway.
@colorit It is up to the plugin/theme developers to include an updater, so the best thing you can do is try and encourage authors without updates to include one

Pictures of Resistance:
The Wartime Photographs
of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman
February 27 - April 24, 2013
February 2013 Media Release
For more information contact: Palma Corral 503-226-3600 ext. 101
or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Exhibit features historic photographs of wartime resistance
(Portland, OR) – The Oregon Jewish Museum (OJM) at 1953 NW Kearney St. in Portland presents Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman from February 27 - April 24, 2013. The OJM will host an opening reception on Wednesday, February 27, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. This exhibit will run concurrently with Sidonie Caron: We Are Our Brothers' Keeper. Exhibition gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., Friday from 10:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. The opening reception is free and open to the public.
Museum admission is $6 for adults, $4 for students and seniors, and free for members and children under 12 accompanied by a parent or guardian
Faye Schulman is the only known Jewish partisan photographer to take photos of the Jewish partisan resistance in Eastern Europe during World War II. Born in Lenin, Poland, Schulman was introduced to photography at the age of ten by her older brother, who ran the town's only photography studio. In 1941, German troops occupied eastern Poland. As the only remaining photographer in the area, Faye's skills made her valuable to the Nazis, and her life was spared.
Eventually escaping from the Germans, Schulman joined a Russian partisan brigade in the forests along the Polish-Russian border. The photographs she took during this time comprise Pictures of Resistance. Schulman's powerful photographs document the camaraderie, horror, loss, bravery and triumph of the partisans. As notable for their artistry as for their historical content, these photographs represent an invaluable opportunity to learn about this oft-forgotten chapter of wartime history.
In conjunction with Pictures of Resistance, the OJM presents two films that explore the Jewish wartime experience. The first, Defiance (2008), directed by Edward Zwick, will screen on Tuesday, March 5, at 7 p.m., and tells the story of Jewish brothers who become partisans in wartime Belarus. This screening is co-sponsored by Portland Hillel and the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center, and admission is free. The second film, Jewish Soldiers in Blue & Gray (2011), directed by Jonathan Gruber, will screen on Thursday, March 14, at noon and 7 p.m. This first-of-its-kind documentary explores the experience of Jewish soldiers during the Civil War, a war that deeply split the Jewish community. Tickets are $10 for OJM members, $8 for the general public and $5 for students. Reservations for both films are recommended, and can be made at www.ojm.org or by calling 503-226-3600.
Pictures of Resistance is a traveling exhibit produced by the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation and curated by Jill Vexler. It was made possible by Thomas and Johanna Baruch, the Epstein/Roth Foundation, the Purjes Foundation, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, the Koret Foundation, the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture, the Holocaust Council of UJA Metro West, and Diane and Howard Wohl.
The Oregon Jewish Museum (OJM), conveniently located in Northwest Portland, is the Pacific Northwest's only Jewish museum. The OJM examines and preserves the rich cultural heritage of one of Oregon's earliest immigrant groups. The OJM is a community-wide gathering place, an important repository of communal history, the narrator of the story of the Oregon Jewish experience and the host of innovative traveling exhibitions. The OJM seeks to stimulate dialogue about identity, culture and assimilation, and to provide opportunities for Jews and non-Jews alike to understand the Jewish experience.

About Betty Grable
Elizabeth Ruth "Betty" Grable (December 18, 1916 – July 2, 1973) was an American actress, dancer and singer.
Her iconic bathing suit photo made her the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. It was later included in the LIFE magazine project "100 Photos that Changed the World". Grable was particularly noted for having the most beautiful legs in Hollywood and studio publicity widely dispersed photos featuring them. Hosiery specialists of the era often noted the ideal proportions of her legs as: thigh (18.5") calf (12"), and ankle (7.5"). Grable's legs were famously insured by her studio for $1,000,000 with Lloyds of London.
Grable appeared in several smash-hit musical films in the 1940s like, Down Argentine Way (1940), Moon Over Miami (1941), Springtime in the Rockies (1942), Coney Island (1943), Pin Up Girl (1944), and The Dolly Sisters (1945). However, she is best noted for her 1947 film Mother Wore Tights. By the 1950s, Grable was still making films like, Wabash Avenue (1950), Meet Me After the Show (1951), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), and How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955), her last film. She retired from the movie industry in 1955, and never returned.
Betty Grable had several nicknames during her career like: "the girl with the million dollar legs," "the quick-silver blonde," "the queen of the Hollywood musical," and "the darling of the forties." Grable died in 1973 at age 56 of lung cancer.
Early life
She was born Elizabeth Ruth Grable in St. Louis, Missouri to John Conn Grable (1883–1954) and Lillian Rose Hofmann (1889–1964). She was the youngest of three children.
Most of Grable's immediate ancestors were American, but her distant heritage was of Dutch, Irish, German and English stock. She was propelled into the acting profession by her mother. For her first role, as a chorus girl in the film Happy Days (1929), Grable was only 12 years old (legally underage for acting), but, because the chorus line performed in blackface, it was difficult to tell how old she was. Her mother soon gave her a make-over which included dyeing her hair platinum blonde.
Early career
For her next film, her mother got her a contract using a false identification. When this deception was discovered, however, Grable was fired. Grable finally obtained a role as a 'Goldwyn Girl' in Whoopee! (1930), starring Eddie Cantor. Though Grable received no billing, she led the opening number, "Cowboys." Grable then worked in small roles at different studios for the rest of the decade, including the Academy Award-winning The Gay Divorcee (1934), starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, where she was prominently featured in the number "Let's K-nock K-nees".
In the late 1930s, Grable signed a contract with Paramount Pictures, starring in several B-movies, mostly portraying co-eds. Despite playing leads, the typecasting proved to hurt her career more than it was helpful. These films included, Pigskin Parade (1936), This Way Please (1937), College Swing (1938), and Man About Town (1939). In 1939, Grable appeared with her then husband, Jackie Coogan (married in 1937), in Million Dollar Legs, a low-budget B-movie. The title Million Dollar Legs, is a name from which her nickname is taken. Grable and Coogan divorced later that same year (October 1939). After small parts in countless low-budgeted B-Hollywood-movies through the 1930s, Grable finally gained national attention for her stage role in the Cole Porter Broadway hit Du Barry Was a Lady (1939). When her contract at Paramount expired, Grable decided to quit acting, being fed up with appearing in college films.
20th Century Fox & film stardom
In a 1940 interview, she said that she was "sick and tired" of show business and had decided to retire, but changed her mind - she received an unsolicited offer to go on a personal appearance tour, which she accepted and which led to Darryl F. Zanuck offering her a bigger contract, which she accepted, and which was followed by a part in Buddy DeSylva's Broadway show Du Barry Was a Lady and a part replacing the suddenly ill Alice Faye in Down Argentine Way. "If that's not luck I don't know what you'd call it" Grable said. "I've had contracts with four studios in 10 years and each time I left one or was dropped, I stepped into something better."
Following Down Argentine Way's major success, Grable was cast opposite Alice Faye in, Tin Pan Alley. Some say Grable and Faye had a rivalry, but this has been denied by both actresses. In 1941, she was cast in the Technicolor musical Moon Over Miami, again with Don Ameche, her co-star in Down Argentine Way. The film was a major success, as was Grable's next film A Yank in the RAF, a World War II film; that was her first serious leading role in a major Hollywood film.
Following the major success of, A Yank in the RAF, Grable was assigned to, I Wake Up Screaming, in 1941, a black-and-white film noir, co-starring Carole Landis and Victor Mature. The film was a moderate box-office success.
In 1942, she was cast in Song of the Islands and Footlight Serenade, two successful motion pictures. However, Grable's biggest hit so far in her career would be Springtime in the Rockies (1942). The film teamed Grable with her future-husband, Harry James; and also featured Carmen Miranda, in a supporting role. In 1943, Grable starred in two of her most well-known Technicolor musicals, Sweet Rosie O'Grady and the smash-hit Coney Island. Both films capitalized Grable tremendously, with Coney Island, ranking one of the top five successful films of the year.
By 1943, with Grable being named one of the "top ten movie-stars" in the world, and becoming 20th Century Fox's top money maker; Darryl F. Zanuck (Fox's chief) soon named Grable his "favorite" contract-player.
Also in 1943, Grable's famous pin-up picture was taken and resulted in Grable being cast in Pin Up Girl (1944). The film showcased Grable's photo in several brief glimpses. Pin Up Girl received poor reviews but was a tremendous box-office success. In 1945, she made Diamond Horseshoe with Dick Haymes. The film was a success but Grable's next film The Dolly Sisters, co-starring rival June Haver, was Fox's second biggest success of the year; with the first being Leave Her to Heaven.
In 1946, Grable appeared as Herself in a cameo role in Do You Love Me. This proved to be Grable's only film appearance for the year. Grable came back to the spotlight with the 1947 film,The Shocking Miss Pilgrim, but the film was overshawdowed by her succeeding project Mother Wore Tights, with one of her most frequent co-stars Dan Dailey. Mother Wore Tights was a major-success (Fox's most successful film of 1947) and is today known as Grable's "signature film."
Her next film, That Lady in Ermine, (1948), co-starred Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.; and would become only a moderate success. However, Grable's next film, When My Baby Smiles at Me (1948), was a smash success; this film again co-starred Dan Dailey. In 1949, Grable's film The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend was released but proved to be a critical and box-office flop, which caused Grable's film career to begin to falter.
Motion-picture decline & retirement
In 1950, Grable made two widely successful films; Wabash Avenue and My Blue Heaven. These films helped to bring Grable's star back to the public but it seemed as if Betty's career was nearing its end. Wabash Avenue, was a up-to-date remake of Grable's 1943 film Coney Island, and, she again co-starred with Dan Dailey for My Blue Heaven; both films are known as musical classics.
In 1951, Grable made an up-to-date remake of her 1941 film, A Yank in the RAF, which was now titled, Call Me Mister, which was the last time Grable ever appeared in a film with Dan Dailey. Call Me Mister, proved to bring only moderate box-office success. After the release of the 1951 poorly reviewed musical, Meet Me After the Show, Grable took a break from acting; turning down the lead role in The Girl Next Door, a role that would eventually go to rival June Haver.
In 1953, Grable returned to the silver screen for The Farmer Takes a Wife, with Dale Robertson and Thelma Ritter. The film was a remake of the 1935 film of the same name. The Farmer Takes a Wife, was highly publicized, but, was unfortunately, critically panned and proved to be a box-office failure.
Grable's last mainstream success for Fox was in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), with Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall. Some thought Grable and Monroe wouldn't get along but Grable was quoted as saying (to Monroe): "Go and get yours honey! I've had mine!" This was said because Monroe was replacing Grable as 20th Century Fox's leading sex symbol movie-star; with Grable meaning she felt no threat, as she was nearing retirement.
Grable's last musical film appearance was in Three for the Show (1955) with up-and-coming comedian Jack Lemmon. Three for the Show, was released by Columbia Pictures; making the film Grable's first film away from 20th Century Fox, since she signed with them in 1940.
Grable's final film role was in the comedy film, How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955) with newcomer Sheree North. This film was meant to reunite Grable with Marilyn Monroe, but Monroe turned it down. Afterward, Grable wanted the role of Miss Adelaide in the 1956 film Guys and Dolls, but the role went to Vivian Blaine after Grable skipped a meeting with the film's producer, due to the fact that her pet dog was sick.
Personal life
In 1937, Grable married another famous former child actor, Jackie Coogan. He was under considerable stress from a lawsuit against his parents over his childhood earnings and the couple divorced in 1939.
In 1943, she married trumpeter Harry James. The couple had two daughters, Victoria and Jessica. They endured a tumultuous 22-year marriage that was plagued by alcoholism and infidelity. The couple divorced in 1965. Grable entered into a relationship with a dancer, Bob Remick, several years her junior. Though they did not marry, their romance lasted until the end of Grable's life.
Grable died July 2, 1973, of lung cancer at age 56 in Santa Monica, California. Her funeral was held July 5, 1973, 30 years to the day after her marriage to Harry James — who, in turn, died on what would have been his and Grable's 40th anniversary, July 5, 1983.
Among the luminaries attending her funeral were her ex-husband Harry James, Dorothy Lamour, Shirley Booth, Mitzi Gaynor, Johnnie Ray, Don Ameche, Cesar Romero, George Raft, Alice Faye and Dan Dailey. "I Had the Craziest Dream," the haunting ballad from Springtime in the Rockies, was played on the church organ. This song was introduced in the film by Helen Forrest. Betty Grable was interred in Inglewood Park Cemetery, in Inglewood, California.
Posthumous recognition
Grable has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6525 Hollywood Boulevard. She also has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame, and was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians in 2009. http://www.house.mo.gov/famous.aspx?fm=52
Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy noted on National Public Radio's Morning Edition on April 23, 2007, in an interview with Terry Gross that Grable was his inspiration for founding the Playboy empire.

I am a newbie to tuning. I have done searches on here for guidance but being so new not connecting the dots. I have a 2003 Silverado SS with LQ9 with a FLT level 7 trans. I put long tube headers, High flow CATS, 160 degree thermostat, Comp cams 226/232 dur .584/.595 lift 114 LSA with new valve springs and push rods. I also put a Radix MP122 with the 90MM J tube and a LS2 TB that's been ported and last but not least a Walbro 255 in tank fuel pump. I bought a tune from a guy to get me started and it has been okay but not where it needs to be for sure. I also have a LC-1 wideband installed.
Last week I installed a 2 bar MAP. When I did a scan at idle I figured out that the current OS on my PCM is not setup to read the new MAP showing half the Kpa values that it should. I know I need to convert my OS to the 2 bar that is in HP tuners but also wondering the best way to rebuild my VE table for a starting point. Any guidance that some would could give me I would be very thankful. Also if I am missing something please let me know where to look. I want to learn if someone could just point me in the right direction. thanks!!

Janet Mock: Caitlyn Jenner Doesn't Represent Transgender Community
Colton Haynes Joins Cast Of 'American Horror Story'
The Obama administration on Friday
urged the Supreme Court to strike down a portion of the Defense of
Marriage Act (DOMA).
In a brief filed by Solicitor General
Donald Verrilli, the administration argues that Section 3 of DOMA,
which defines marriage for federal agencies as a heterosexual union,
is unconstitutional.
"Section 3 of DOMA violates the
fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection," the
administration wrote. "The law denies to tens of thousands of
same-sex couples who are legally married under state law an array of
important federal benefits that are available to legally married
opposite-sex couples. Because this discrimination cannot be
justified as substantially furthering any important governmental
interest, Section 3 is unconstitutional."
Laws which are based on sexual
orientation should face heightened scrutiny, the standard most often
used for cases involving a claim of civil rights infringement, the
administration said.
The Supreme Court next month will hear
oral arguments in the case, Windsor v. United States. An
appellate court hearing the case last year struck down DOMA for the
first time using heightened scrutiny.
The administration has made similar
arguments in the case as it wound its way to the Supreme Court.
However, the government has not said whether it will get involved in
a second case before the high court related to marriage equality. On
Wednesday, President Barack Obama said he was still weighing his
options in a challenge to Proposition 8, California's marriage ban.

reiterates gay marriage support in discussing Prop 8 case.)

I met a gentleman who moved to St Pete from Michigan after losing his factory job and medical benefits. He is diabetic and was not able to afford medical care. I referred him to SP Free Clinic and he is now stable and managing his diabetes.
The Free Clinic is an organization that does incredible work for the people who need it the most. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making such a major difference in our community!
The St. Petersburg Free Clinic delivers a wide range of services to the community from healthcare to housing to a food bank that serves thousands of meals. it is an amazing organization.
The St. Petersburg Free Clinic has been providing assistance to the St. Petersburg Community for over 40 years. I have personally volunteered there over the years since 1976. The St. Petersburg Free Clinic is dedicated to closing the hunger gap and helping men, women and families that are in need of food, medical care, shelter and more. The clinic has a strong foundation, broad community support and strong leadership. The food bank is being expanded in a new location and will be able to accept more fresh and perishable foods and serve more people. The medical clinic will be able to expand into the space vacated by the current food bank and there is a brand new women's residence facility that doubles the number of women that can be served. The other agencies under the clinic's umbrella are We Help which provides emergency aid to families and the men's shelter, Beacon House.
St Petersburg Free Clinic does so much for the community from providing over 3mm pounds of food to community partners to providing health/dental care to hundreds of residents in need. Their commitment to our community is unparalleled and thousands of Pinellas residents are lucky to have such a stable, strong non-profit available to them.
I have used St Petersburg Free Clinic- Health services on a number of occasions and wow what a great experience; From Intake to triage to Doctors and Therapists> All are accommodating, understanding and so nice. This organization is a well oil machine. Other organizations, especially our government, could learn from the St Petersburg Free Clinic organization on how to treat people effectively and efficiently and kindly at minimal cost. I thank all; employees, volunteers and donors, one being a part of this wonderful organization
St. Pete Free Clinic has services that reach farther than most are aware. Its name is deceiving - in addition to free medical care, the Clinic is one of the largest providers of food to needy in the area. The Clinic also offers several housing programs for those in need. The Clinic runs entirely on donations and grants with an amazing staff and crew of volunteers.
St. Petersburg Free Clinic offers help and hope to neighbors in need throughout the community. The agency offers a wide range of programs to help people who are struggling with basic needs including hunger, medical, dental, housing, transportation, clothing, utilities and referrals.
As a volunteer, it is shocking and sad to see hundreds of people coming in each week for something as simple as a few bags of groceries yet it is a relief to know they have a place like St. Petersburg Free Clinic to go to get assistance.
Previous Stories
Each year, thousands of people in our community come to St. Petersburg Free Clinic for assistance with basic needs including food, shelter, heath care, referrals and other basic services. As a weekly volunteer, I see people from all walks of life receive a helping hand from one of the Clinic's programs when they have no where else to turn. One gentleman in his nineties wrote, " Thank you for helping with my electric bill. I have terminal cancer and just want to stay warm. Your kindness and financial support with help me live out my last days in comfort." This is just one example of how a Clinic service can make life more bearable for a neighbor in need. And as a donor, I appreciate that donations are well spent to ensure that 90 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to client programs and services.
The Free Clinic's We Help program has assisted families, individuals and children (Pack A Sack) for many years with grace and compassion. Services range from food, identification, help with utility bills, and personal care items. It makes a true difference in the lives of the people who rely on it's services.

TiVo in Strategic Partnership with Spanish Cable Operator, ONO
--ONO to Use TiVo to Provide a "Seamless Convergence between Internet and Traditional TV Content"
TiVo said Wednesday that it has signed an exclusive strategic partnership agreement with Spain's largest cable operator, ONO, to deploy "next-generation TV" in Spain. According to the company, ONO will leverage its modern fiber-optic network and the TiVo user experience to offer customers a service that provides a "seamless convergence between Internet and traditional television content" (note: TiVo has previously announced deals to integrate its user experience with set-top boxes from UK cable operator, Virgin Media, and connected TV's from Best Buy's in-house Insignia brand--see the articles published on itvt.com, November 30th and May 25th).
The partnership designates ONO as the exclusive distributor of TiVo's advanced television services in Spain, and designates TiVo as the exclusive software provider for all next-generation set-top boxes deployed by ONO, including both DVR and non-DVR set-tops. The companies say that they also expect to collaborate on solutions that will make the TiVo user experience available to consumers beyond ONO's cable footprint, in conjunction with terrestrial- and Internet-delivered content--though they are not yet disclosing specifics of these plans. "Working with a strategic partner of the stature of TiVo, a pioneer and innovator in the development of a converged recording system and in the implementation of a new model of television in other countries, allows us to make the leap to launching the next generation of TV in the market," ONO CEO, Rosalia Portela, said in a prepared statement. "Our fiber-optic network combined with the capacity of TiVo will position us at the cutting edge of advanced next-generation services for the Internet and television." Added TiVo president and CEO, Tom Rogers: "We are extremely proud to be selected as ONO's strategic partner for its next-generation video experience and believe that together we can offer the most compelling video product in the Spanish marketplace. Building on our recent announcement with Virgin Media in the UK, this deal demonstrates the growing proliferation of TiVo as the most compelling solution for television providers seeking to differentiate their service through a best-in-class user experience and a world of content that integrates broadcast and broadband television to go well beyond the confines of traditional pay television."
According to the companies, their partnership will see them working with other technology providers, including Cisco and Nagravision, to implement and launch ONO's next-generation TV platform. They say that the TiVo products deployed by ONO will leverage the operator's fiber-optic network to deliver an array of content, including broadcast TV, cable VOD and Internet-delivered video. This broad content offering, the companies say, will be made cohesive by TiVo's software, which "provides a universal search experience across the infinite world of content unleashed by this type of hybrid platform." ONO's TiVo-based offering will feature TiVo's branded user interface, according to the companies, and such standard TiVo features as Season Pass recordings and WishList searches.

Heather is a dedicated lawyer and it is apparent that she cares about people enough to take the time to answer questions of people whom have concerns and may or may not be able to hire an attorney. She is knowledgeable. Very kind although having no attorney client relationship with her. I can just tell that she likes what she does and absolutely knows what she is talking about.. She answered so many questions of mine and it truly helped me in a situation that I was not too sure of what I should do. Being in the position I was in from my past experiences with lawyers I felt betrayed and taken advantage of ( I divorced an attorney) I was so blind after ten years of marriage, he did as he pleased each year with alimony so I was skeptical of hiring another attorney and paying all these fees. Heather answered things she did not have to and went above and beyond her call of duty doing it all pro bono. How nice. I appreciated it because at this time in my life It truly would be a hardship. She appears to be honest and forth coming with everything and would not lead you astray just to make a dollar as so many do. I know I have paid outrageous fees (30 thousand post divorce case) I do believe if I needed an attorney she would be my pick for she answers your questions and advises and then after I came back to say a few things she never had to answer me but she did. I did not expect her to do so just was commenting. She truly enjoys helping others and doing the right thing and very interested in the person and the situation. I have seen her reviews from her peers I think they too agree that she is very intelligent, well read,and has a broad spectrum of knowledge as an attorney and I would use her if I needed to do so. She deserves Excellent. She also treats people with utmost respect regardless of what walk of life they may come from. Very classy woman . So few people today esp. in this type of profession could careless about helping others unless they are being paid for it. She is not one of them and I would say she is therefore someone you can trust to treat you fairly and do the very that she can. Thank you Ms. Morcroft. You were a Blessing to me during this time.

Heather was passionate about my case from day one until the end. She is very knowledgeable and can advise you based on knowing how the system works and how judges rule. She was great at our trial, I felt she had my best interest in mind at all times. I never felt like she made me "fight" for things just to run up my bill. I felt she billed fairly, it didn't seem like she billed me for every 10 minute phone call like other attorneys do. She answers her phone and texting was a great way to communicate with her as well as email. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends. I hope that I don't have to use her again, but if I needed to, I would in a second.

In case anybody who reserved it in-store at GameStop in December or earlier this month, I thought I'd post about what I found out today when I called about choosing your system color. Not sure if this is the policy for all GameStops. But at mine, if you already reserved it, you get the black 3DS by default. I was told if I wanted aqua blue, I'd have to come into the store and change it (not allowed to do it over the phone). But, I want black (as my ancient DS is Teal Nintendogs edition so close to aqua blue), so I'm keeping my bu-double t parked here!
