I need a theme that can help me transport my static website onto a Wordpress environment.
A little explanation is in order, I believe: I run a website dedicated to "comicjamming". A comicjam is a comic that is created by multiple artists – one artist does the first comicpage, and then another does the next aso aso. My site has existed for more than five years, and more than 250 artists from around the world have participated.
This is the site we have today: http://globalcomicjam.com/index.php It works, but it's very plain … very static … very boring.
I have made this PSD , to give you an idea about what it is I'm looking for, but it could REALLY be anything – just as long as the functions I need are there: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f292/udgang99/layout_03.jpg
The problem, as I see it, is that all the comicjams needs to have a way of being updated easy with a new comicpage, and there has to be a way to show the newests updates on the sites frontpage.
If you want any more information, please feel free to contact me on my email: udgang99 [a] gmail [.] com
Oh … I have a very limited budget.
Oh … I have a very limited budget.
What do you consider 'very limited'? Might be nice to know for the other readers.
Anyways, I know there are lots of talented people around here, good luck finding one
Good point … hopefully not more than fifty bucks …
Hey, I'm still looking for a coder to get this beast running again. I wrote this more detailed description of what the site needs to be able to do. Hopefully someone can do this…
As I mentioned, this is the old site: http://globalcomicjam.com/index.php
I would like to tell you a bit about it, so you can get an idea about what the site needs to be able to handle. Right now it's build upon a Coppermine-environment, and I would of course like to transfere it to Wordpress. The site, Global Comicjam (GCJ), went online December 1st 2003 – more than six years ago. We have had more than 200 users from all over the world, and together they have created many hundreds comicpages. A while ago we had a problem with the database, so the site went off-line. I decided to use this opportunity to start from scratch … all the old comics would be put in a closed archive, and we would start a batch of new jams. I have been looking at WP-themes to use, but haven't been able to find anything that would suit my needs – and that's when I wrote my post on TF's forum, which you replied to. Which is pretty damn awesome, I think!!! I sure hope we can get this beast up and running again – there are many people that are asking me when GCJ 'll make a return.
Okay … it's important that you fully understand what the site is suppose to be able to do, so here goes:
-A "comicjam" is a comic that is created by many different artists. One artist does the first page, another does the next aso aso … there often are no script, we just make the story up as we go along.
- Ideally, people will be able to sign up for a jam with the click of a button. When they do, they will be added to the "waiting list" ( http://globalcomicjam.com/content_schedule.php#38 ) The waiting list was created specifically for GCJ by our last webmaster … I have no idea how it works, but maybe you can figure that out, and find a way to move it to the WP-theme.
- A typically "ComicJam-index" ( http://globalcomicjam.com/thumbnails.php?album=1 ) has a short description of the comicjam along with thumbnails of all the comicpages. When you click one of the comicpages ( http://globalcomicjam.com/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=0 ) we get a little info: Who drew the page, when it was uploaded, the authors comments and the readers comments. I was wondering if it is possible to make that with a kind of "lightbox"-plugin, but I don't know if it's possible to include all the info + the "write a comment" on that.
- In the old days I updated the site totally manually – I had created the site with simple html. But the site we have now is "automated", which means that the users, when they are loged in, can sign up to a jam by the click of a button, and when they have made their page, they can upload it directly, and when an administrator approves it, it goes online without any greater work from my side. Can we do that in WP?
Soooo … I made THIS design ( http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f292/udgang99/layout_03.jpg ), which was NOT meant as a design for WP … I would like to make a NEW design for that, BUT some of the ideas are still on my list of things I would love to see on the re-launch. Basically, this is it:
- There is a big box on the top with the text "You make the story" ... I was originally thinking that that would ONLY be visible as long as you are NOT logged in – as soon as you log in, it disappears. But, now that I know more about WP, I was thinking it might be a slider … ? - Below that box, we have five smaller boxes (three blue, one orange and one grey) which represents each comicjams. On the frontpage of the old site, each comicjam was represented with a general jam-icon including a thumbnail of the LATEST comicpage. Now, I don't want the thumbnail, but just want the jam-icon and some info. On the top it tells what kind of comicjam it is (comicjam, myjam, scriptjam, chaosjam aso), then there is a static jam-icon with the title overlayed in grey. Below that there is a short description of the genre of the comicjam, then how long ago it was updated, and then the name of the artist. Below that there are three small icons: "left arrows", which takes you directly to the FIRST page of the comicjam (page 1), the "house" takes you to the comicjams index page, the "right arrows" takes you to the LAST page in the comicjam, and the "Sign up" let's you sign up to that particular comicjam. -There are five jams on the front page, but there is suppose to be many more jams than that – and only the five comicjam that where updated last are shown here. If you want to see all the other jams, you have to click the "More Comicjams"-button on the far left. -Then we have the "Word from the editor", which is basically just a text-widget … -At the far bottom there is a lot of stats … number of users, latest comments aso aso …
Okay – I think this is it. I'm kinda writing this in a frenzy, So maybe everything isn't as clearly described as it could be – please ask!!!
No one…???
Okay, I guess that means that it's either too big a job for only 50$, OR that it's not possible to do in Wordpress…?
Wordpress will not help you with this types websites, that's because of few reasons, the main one is that wordpress does not have a strong membership system and as far as I understood from your explanation above that you want the artist to be able to sign up/in to edit a certain comic right?
And another issue I did not really understand from your explanation. Do you want a custom web site design and coding or you want a CMS Theme?
More clearer explanation will help
in that budget, i can do a coded template design for you, just send me an email
you want the artist to be able to sign up/in to edit a certain comic right?I want the artist to be able to log in and post/upload a new comicpage. Like a new post in a portfolio, I suppose.
Do you want a custom web site design and coding or you want a CMS Theme?Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the difference between those two. I would like to transfer GCJ onto Wordpress… I can provide PSD 's for the design (but really, any design will do, as long as it's functional), but I can't code a damn thing myself.
@Campolar: I have send you an email.

Post subject: Predicting the Jets 2013 Season
The 2013 Jets have a "must prove" season before them.
Rex "could be coaching for his job", but on a personal note, I believe this is all nonsense.
Rex will only lose his job if the Jets go 1-15 or something close to that record.
Rex and the Jets are not projected to do anything this year and like last year are a team in flux (according to the experts).
So trying to be as honest as I can without being bias (as I see everything in green and white) this is how I see the season playing out.
First off I like the fact that the Jets are being given no credit and are projected as one of the worse franchises in the NFL.
This will give them an edge for a short time.
Secondly, I don't think the D will miss a beat and will surprise the league when they sit in the top 5 this year.
The defense IMHO is going to be lights out good, MUCH better than last years by virtue of the youth and speed added during the draft and off season.
As far as the offense is concerned, it is in its infancy, but the major hurdle the Jets had to overcome last year was its offensive line.
Idzik was wise enough to want to bring in veterans and draft choices to bring stability to the weakest link on the team along with competition.
I believe the Jets are capable of scoring 20 points a game, EVEN, with the lack of proven WR's on the team or for that matter injured WR's. Winslow will add a proven threat and could be playing for a future payday somewhere else next year.
I believe the Jets will ride the coattails of the Defense this year and win games in the trenches.
If Sanchez can come back and have an average year, the Jets can win 10 games.
If Sanchez falters and Geno becomes the heir apparent than the Jets could win 7-10 games.
My prediction for the Jets this year is 10-6 and a team NO TEAM, wants to face in round 1 because of their defense.

good points but 10 is a little difficult this is how i see it playing out:
the year will start of with a win with Sanchez under center and a run oriented offense and the defense will want to prove itself so it will only give up 1TD in this one
the defense will continue rolling and with the potential of no Gronk or Hernandez as well as Welker departure its to early for Brady to have a fav target yet so a late sack of pick will seal this amazing win and Sanchez will continue his trend of dominating the Pats defense
they will come home after a long layoff and full of themselves and fall flat with a typical Sanchez performance with at least 4 turnovers
the old Sanchez continues to rear his head as we begin to wonder if Geno if ready to take over as this game is very reminicant of last years with both offenses playing terrible and a late turnover by Sanchez seals the loss
our defense plays valiant but cant keep ATL out of endzone with there relentless aerial assault and eventually take the lead and the game in the 2nd half Sanchez actually has a turnover free day but fails to get u sin the endzone and we contiually settle for FGs
we come home and our defense steps up again as Pitt lacks there deep threat weapon we bottle up Big Ben and stop a late rally to hold them off Sanchez doesnt play great but the run game steps up and the O-line starts hitting its stride and opening huge holes
Belichick would rather die then lose to us twice so they come here and win in easy fashion despite playing well early on Sanchez commits 2 huge turnovers late to seal the loss the defense tries it best but cant contain Brady for the whole game
Sanchez's hotseat is really hot since with the bye week looming he has one of his worst games completing less then 50% of his passing fumbling twice losing one and throwing 3 picks highhandedly spotting the bengals 13 pts and the defense does its best to keep us in game and a big wildcat TD run by Smith 20 yards out gets us back in the game but it isnt enough as we lose this one by 9
with Geno getting more starters reps at practice theres a strong indication this is Sanchez's last start and in typical Sanchez fashion he actually plays well not spectacular but well, also this is against a NO defense led by Ryan's brother but still very poor much like last year, we lose this game cause this will be the worst the defense plays all year as they allow over 30 pts for the first and only time this season
-the Geno era begins as he takes all the first team reps as the coaching staff feel he has grasped the playbook enough and there will be no restrictions in the playbook but they will increase it everyweek not to give him too much too early at 3-5 we dont have much to lose and with an easier post BYE schedule its a good way to get Geno experience and see wat he is going into next year
the Geno ers begins rough with a 3 straight possions of 2, 3 and outs and a pick but the defense hounds BUF all day as they struggle themselves with the Manuel making his 3rd or 4th start and Geno starts to hit is stride with a long TD to Hill followed with a long TD drive right after the half and we ride to a victory after a pick 6 by Cro
with Bal having an up and down post SB season there in must win mode to stay in the playoff hunt and they ride there Defense to victory in a bloody and bruising battle of defenses a late TD by Flacco to Pitta gives them the 16-9 win Geno doesnt commit any turnovers but struggles to get the offense moving at all Malone's booming punts help us win the field position battle but a shanked punt late gave BAL a short field on there TD sealing drive
wanting to show off to the NY crowd in his first home start he makes a huge mistake late in this game that were winning close to give Miami a short field as he does too much to extend the play and gets stripped by Wake setting up miami to score and they pound it right into the endzone giving them more then a FG lead with just over 2 min to play Geno makes some nice plays to get us close but our last shot at the endzone lands incomplete
with a second chance to impress the Jets fans and another dismal Raiders team,although trending in the right direction,as the opponent we survive a shaky first half to ride 3 straight TD drives coming out of the half with some real nice play from Geno and strong running by Ivory and we use Ivory as the bellcow to run out the clock
-looking to outduel Newton who is having a strong season and has Carolina lurking in the playoff hunt Geno and the Oline torches the Panthers defense and despite a strong game from Newton the jets defense never breaks and only allows 1 TD and forces Car to FGs which they miss 2 of and a long drive that spans the 3rd and half the 4th ending a fg seals the game as we go up 10
both teams are riding winning streaks as the browns are riding strong defensive play and this game becomes more of a battle then either team expected on a cold and snowy day at the meadowlands, it comes down to which team has the stronger running game and o-line play and despite trent having a good day the Jets defense holds him late and Ivory cracks off a couple big runs to set up Folk's winning FG as time expires
-Geno and Jets are looking for revenge and end the recent trend of losing to the Dolphins who are looking to win and get help to sneak in as a wild card despite high expectations, the defense playing extremely motivated and makes the Dolphins offense look anemic as they earn there first shutout of the season and with Geno and the Jets dominating with long drive after long drive they cruise to a win in this flawless game and things look bright for the future as they finish 8-8

The jets will win the division this year. Nice young solid defense with a strong offensive line and running game. Sounds crazy but I just feel a lot better than what people are expecting. Yeah we were the laughing stock of the league last year but theres absolutely no way to counter that than make a huge statement this year.
Last year the jets were old and slow on defense, we didnt have our best corner back. No this year we are faster and way more athletic on defense with Davis starting and adding Barnes as a OLB pass rusher. Richardson was really a huge pick up. We will rotate guys a lot between Wilkerson, Pace, Barnes, Coples, Richardson. I expect to see a lot of different fronts that incorporate are speed. I also really like the Dawan Landry signing. I think hes a guy that probably knows the defense even better than Laron did last year. I expect him to be a vocal leader back there. Our cornerback position is loaded with guys like Berry, Milliner, Wilson, Cromartie. I expect us to be a very good defense this year. Dont forget we will have Kenrick and Garay rotating on that line as well. Garay can be a force when hes not an every down guy.
Offense, plain and simple our offensive line play last year was HORRIBLE. Yeah Sanchez made some horrible and I mean horrible decisions but he was hit ALOT back their and even Mcelroy realized it towards the end of the year. Either way our strength will be our offensive line this year. We have a bunch of young talent with proven veteran starters to compete at our G spots. Im excited about Winters, Colon and Peterman the most as I feel they will prove to be the rotation we will see at Guard. I just dont see Ducasse doing anything really. I do feel really good about the project with willy Campbell though. I think he could be a nice addition in the future. Its also nice to get Aboushi to hopefully provide some nice depth at tackle. Either way I expect it to be Ferguson, Colon, Mangold, Peterman, Howard with Winters rotating. Thats a solid offensive line there. At running back we are strong. Ivory and Goodson will be a force. Powell will really push both guys but due to Mcknights Special teams abilities I think we may see the jets cut or trade Powell. In this day an age, I just dont see them keeping 4 running backs on the gameday. WR and TE is a will see thing, If Holmes can return to health, we should be fine. Hopefully Hill can wake up.
Obviously I am excited about camp as I expect a few positions to get ironed out.But the truth is, this jets team is younger, faster, and loaded with depth. I expect Mark Sanchez to prove everyone wrong this year. Trust me I hated a lot of his games last year but people fail to recognize we had no running game, no offensive line and no seperation with our wide recievers. Sanchez will return to form this year and we will win the division for the first time since 02.

Our defense should keep us in a lot of games and our running game should be pretty good, but I don't see our passing being good enough to carry us into the playoffs. We should be a lot better than the media predicts us to be, look at ESPN ranking us in last in their power rankings, but I don't see us winning the division or grabbing a Wild Card spot this season. 6-8 wins are very likely, but it would take a lot of lucky breaks for that to happen.
Right now, our QB situation does not look very good for the upcoming season. I would love if we could get the 2010 Mark Sanchez to return, but I am surely not expecting that player to return. His confidence is shot and it is clear that he is no longer viewed as a franchise QB. I think he might be a bit better than he was last season, but I don't see him being a guy that can carry this team into the postseason. While I do think Geno Smith can be a good QB for us in the long-term, I don't think he is ready at this point to lead an offense or at least do so at a level that could result in a playoff berth. He should start the season as our second string QB and take over around the bye week if it is clear that he is ready and Sanchez is not leading us anywhere.
In addition to the uncertainty surrounding who is throwing passes for this team, there is nearly as much uncertainty surrounding who will be catching those passes. Jeremy Kerley is now arguably our top receiver and clearly the only receiver that can be relied on heading into the season. He posted 827 receiving yards last year and could emerge as a perennial as soon as the QB situation sorts itself out. After him, we have a trio of huge question marks in Santonio Holmes, Kellen Winslow Jr., and Stephen Hill.
Holmes is right next to Kerley as the best receiver on this team, but it appears increasing unlikely that he will be on the field when the season gets underway this season. It is uncertain when he will return and if he will be able to return to his previous form once he does. If he does play at a high level this season, we will have a very solid 1-2 receiver combo in Kerley and Holmes. Out of the three question marks we have at WR/TE, Holmes is probably the most likely to perform well.
Despite just being signed mere days ago, we are depending on Winslow or another one of our TEs to step up in a major way this season. Winslow's talent is undeniable, and at his best he is one of the best at his position in the NFL. Unfortunately, his knees present a major medical red flag and allows for some skepticism as to whether he can produce for us this season. If he is able to suit up and perform at the level that he did through 2011, we would have struck gold with this signing. However, counting on someone with his knees is far from an enviable position.
Stephen Hill is pretty clearly the most talented skill player on this team, but he has little experience and even less production. After a standout performance in his debut last season, he had a disappointing rookie season. Like what was the case with Demaryius Thomas in Denver, Hill is a long-term project. I am FAR from ready to give up on Hill, but I don't expect much production from him in 2013. I would sign up right now for a year with 500 receiving yards from him. He really needs to work on limiting his drops, which are just infuriating.
If we can get production from Sanchez/Geno, Holmes, Winslow, and Hill, then, yes, we are a playoff team and possibly the division champions. However, the odds are that we really do not receive enough production from those players and our passing game hold us back from truly contending. I have very hopes for this defense, which I think could finish top five in the league. I think our running game could be the best it has been since Thomas Jones days. Unfortunately, I really do not have much faith in our passing game. I think we finish this year with 5-8 wins.

Wow you think the jets will win 10 games? If I look at this team as a non-jet fan I think this team is in some trouble. First off the jets D will be on the field a very very long time. This will cause the jets D to get tired very quickly. The jets, lead by Rex, have always had trouble with endurance. They also have shown signs that they are a very slow D. If David Harris starts, which he is projected to, the D will be in trouble on the pass coverage and his tacking is one of the worse as an inside linebacker. You also have Kyle Wilson starting unless Dee Milliner takes his job which I really hope he does. Kyle Wilson is a bust and needs to go back to the nickel roll or 4th CB.
The O is going to be so bad that they will cost the jets at least 9 games themselves. You have a QB that is by far the worse starting QB in the NFL. Next in line is a rookie who is no way near a Luck or RG3. He needs at least 2 years on the bench to be a good starter. When the fans say we can run all day, have you seen the RB we have. Ivory is a good running back but not a great running back. Goodson my not even make the team (legal issues). If the pick up Willis M off the cut list this would be a big improvement. The other team will just stack 9 guys in the box and make the jets throw to WR who can not catch a pass or have a QB hit the mark. Face it jet fans going to be a long season.
Hope as a Jet Fan 8-8 to 9-7.
Reality 4-12 to 6-10. Rex will be fired if we finish under 500 which is the only plus finishing under 500.

I think a lot of people are taking a very pessimistic view of things for this upcoming year. I really dont blame people for doing that but I think this jets team has improved a lot. Similar to what "Idzik for President" said, we are younger and faster. I remember growing up being told that you win each game in the trenches. If theres any aspect on the field that we can dominate teams each game, it would be the trenches. We have depth across the board on the Oline and depth on the Dline as well. All the other positions will fill themselves in.
As far as Sanchez goes, mistakes are an issue but with a solid running game and offensive line, I think he can have a decent year. As far as our division goes, I am really not all that impressed. I think the Bills will be the worst, I just dont see the talent level there. The Dolphins are somewhat of a question but I think they can be vulnerable. They kinda went on a spending spree and Tannehill will see a lot more pressure this year on the field and off. I see the Bills and Dolphins both beatable from the jets perspective. As for the Patriots their tight end situation is a significant problem right now and wide reciever you could honestly argue is weaker than the jets. The Patriot secondary should be stronger but if they cant stop the run, it will be a significant problem as well. I just dont see how anyone could intelligently pin the jets as 4-12 6-10 team when they are significantly better than they were last year and you could also say the division champ Patriots are not as strong either.
I would not go as far as to say the jets are going to win the division but I see them as a contender right now for sure. I think it will be one of those years where the jets do indeed prove a lot of people wrong. Rex is going to give it his all and hes endured enough crap throughout his tenure here as the jets head coach the past two years. People love the guy and people want to play for him. Hes a good defensive coach and leader.

2 things I'm excited about is Rex calling the defense again and Chris Ivory. Faster front 7 with Rex's exotic blitzing is going to be great. My concerns are the WR position and our safety position.
Anything can happen this season. I can see us winning 5-9 games. depends on how this come together between scheme and talent.

This teams probably gonna go between 4 to 6 win team. The defense will be good if not great but the lack of WR talent and competency at the QB position will hold this team back.Rex will most likely be fired snd well start iver next year.......hopefully with Jadaveon Clowney on the team

I say 7-9. I think well win a few games we shouldn't. We had a good draft an brought in some nice role players, but I just dont think well get good enough QB play and we dont have the weapons either. We still have a ways to go.

The schedule is tough especially the first half of it.
I do not see where the improvement is coming on the offense.
4-6 wins should be even money- anything more than 6 would be a surprise.

Interesting topic but it might be a little frugal as well! I'll take a shot at it!
COACHING: Sparano was an absolute joke last year. I can't believe he was a head coach in this league. He did more damage to our offence than anybody, including Mark! Mornhinweg will be a pleasant surprise this year. Rex has shown some promise this year already. I like the way he's calling players out already. I truly believe Rex lost his way two years ago when Dungy called him out for too many "F" bombs on hard knocks. I think this actually changed his coaching techniques, due to his respect for this puke! I watched hard knocks with the Fins last year and it was 10 times worse. Be yourself REX. Thurm just plain deserves it, although I think Rex calls "D"
Offense: Saddly I think the damage done to Sanchez is non repairable. Geno needs to grow and McElroy was like a rat jumping off a sinking ship last year. I know! He had a head ache. No improvement at all here. Our hopes lie with Holmes to catch a ball. Gee! I wonder who the opposition will key on? Winslow has bum knees which leaves us with a rugby player. hee!hee! Green was a bum the last two years so I can see a major improvement with our backs if they keep McKnight on special teams. Ivory will be good! 1000 for sure! O line has improved with depth. This will give our run game a chance and maybe keep QB UPRIGHT. All and all we will see a big improvement from last year but this is no elite offense yet.
Defense: Stud!!!! Top three this year with a tough schedule. This will keep getting better the next couple of years. Hope they keep REX next year.
Special Teams. God are we ever gonna miss you know who!!
Sorry! Just venting a bit! I see no more than 5 wins this year but I really like the outlook of years to comeif Idzik stays on track!

We won 6 games last year with a season where basically if something was going to go bad it went worse...
Tough schedule? Jets played 4 of the top 5 defenses from the prior year in the first 5 weeks last year. This schedule is cupcake compared to that.

AFC North and NFC South I would not consider cupcake.
Last Years schedule was easier.

AFC North and NFC South I would not consider cupcake.
Last Years schedule was easier.
We're not going to lose to everyone
The best thing is our 5 toughest games are back to back to back to back to back
Even going 1-4 in that stretch isn't terrible as long we take care of business vs teams we should beat
We're younger, faster, more explosive and better coached and managed

I had fat and artefill injected in my bottom lip at different times. I have a noticeable lump and would love to get rid of it. My cosmetic surgeon did some injections to melt the fat, but the lump remains, so it must be the Artefill. ... READ COMMENT

Az Zulfi (also Zulfi, Zulfy City or Al Zulfi or Az Zilfi) is a city in Riyadh Province in central Saudi Arabia, about 260 kilometres northwest of Riyadh.[1] It is connected by Roads 418 and 535 which both link with the main Highway 65[2] which connects Riyadh to Buraidah which is about 101 kilometres by road to west of Al Zulfi. Zulfi also forms a governorate of Riyadh Province. The Al-Yamama/Tuwaiq mountain range begins in the desert to the north of Al Zulfi.[3]
Az Zulfi is in the East of Al-Qassim Province and at the heart of the historical region of Najd. It is located roughly 70kilometers from Buraydah (the capital of the province) and more than 290 kilometers north of the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
Early history[edit]
Although the location is sometimes identified with an ancient settlement mentioned by Yaqut and Al-Hamadani known as "oryarh",the history of zulfi proper dates back to the 3th[clarification needed] century. According to the chroniclers of Nejd.
During the Pre-Islamic era the settlement at the site was called zulifit or alkrm' (Arabic: الزلفات و الكَرَمُ), and was reportedly founded by the tribe of Banu Hanifa & Banu tmym.[4] Hajr served as the capital of the province of Al Yamamah, whose governors were responsible for most of central and eastern Arabia during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras. Al-Yamamah broke away from the Abbasid Empire in 866 and the area fell under the rule of the Ukhaydhirites, who moved the capital from Hajr to nearby Al Kharj. The city then went into a long period of decline. In the 14th century, North African traveller Ibn Battuta wrote of his visit to Hajr, describing it as "the main city of Al-Yamamah, and its name is Hajr". Ibn Battuta goes on to describe it as a city of canals and trees with most of its inhabitants belonging to Bani Hanifa, and reports that he continued on with their leader to Mecca to perform the Hajj.
Later on, Hajr broke up into several separate settlements and estates. The most notable of these were Migrin (or Muqrin) and Mi'kal, though the name Hajr continued to appear in local folk poetry. The earliest known reference to the area by the name Riyadh comes from a 17th-century chronicler reporting on an event from the year 1590. In 1737, Deham ibn Dawwas, a refugee from neighboring Manfuha, took control of Riyadh. Ibn Dawwas built a single wall to encircle the various quarters of Riyadh, making them effectively a single town.
The three Saudi states[edit]
And dating to the late 19th century Zulfi architecture XI Hijri approximately 1090 e by alasaadh clan of Talha with thigh elrokh by tribe Otaiba known (al rashd & lfrahid) of offspring Rashid Mohammed and Saleh Rashid sons farhud Assadi.the Principality llasaadh to Crown modern and recorded some dates old Al najdiyah events and facts to them and had them thanks in helping reconstruction and received from them a lot of development and progress in all fields and areas, and saw them through major Renaissance and strong growth over the last decade gained admiration from her family and many surrounding cities and has been and continues to be a beacon and example role models, to join all efforts together and one collective spirit and generations believed for years and now need to move seriously towards Access to refineries and Zulfi mattresses delivered social progress and civilization
Battle of Sabilla[edit]
The Battle of Sabilla (March 29, 1929)[5] was the main battle of the Ikhwan Revolt in northern Arabia between the rebellious Ikhwan forces and the army of Ibn Saud. It was the last major battle, where one side rode camels,[6] as the Ikhwan emphasized radical conservatism, shunned technological modernization. The rebellious, but technologically mediocre, Ikhwan were decisively defeated by the Saudi forces, which included machine-guns and cavalry. Faisal al-Dawish, one of the three leaders of the rebellious Ikhwan tribes, was wounded in the battle. According to Ibn Saud Information Resource, his injury was "serious". Sultan bin Bajad, allegedly fled the battle scene.[6]
On January 9, 2005, Saudi forces reportedly killed four gunmen in a gun battle in Al Zulfi. Three security officials were injured in the event.[7] Senior al-Qaeda leader Khalid al-Juwayr was captured by the security forces in al-Zulfi.[8]
Al Zulfi lies in the northern-central region of the Najd and to the south of the sheayb samnan (samnan Valley), which is the longest valley on the zulfi. It is surrounded by sand dunes to its north and west, which are known locally as the Al-Thoyr Sands. The Al-sabalh Woods are located to the north of the city.Next to Al Zulfi is the Al-Kasar Rain lake (or bohyrat Al-Kasar), which is considered an official part of the city.
Being in the middle of the Arabian desert, Al Zulfi experiences extremely hot summers and relatively cool winters. Humidity is low though throughout the year. The minimum temperature in the summer ranges between 35-42 degrees Celsius. The species Bunopus spatalurus spatalurus of the Bunopus genus of small geckos was described in 1991 as being endemic to the area.[9]
Notable landmarks[edit]
Al Zulfi contains numerous mosques and parks. It also contains a 150-bed hospital and the Palace of Prince Saud bin Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad bin Saud.[10][11] The Al Zulfi Governorate contains 2 national parks.[1] Al-Zulfi has three artificial lakes due to the problems of water salinization.[1] Al Zulfi is noted for its many wells and fertile soils with many thousands of acres of land under cultivation.[1][12] There are also coal reserves in the area, especially in the northeast near Qasim.[12][13] The thickness of the deposits range from 5 to 50 metres and are spread over a vast area with some 66 coal mines discovered in the Qassim area by the early 1980s.[13]
Renovations and development plans[edit]
Among the rebuilt structures are the Bath and guest house, the Qasr Nasr, the nasr bin Saud Palace & Al Aqlah.
Notable people[edit]
- Abdullah al-Tariki - First Saudi oil minister and co-founder of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

Feb. 14, 2012
With a senior who has medaled four times at conference meet and a freshman who leads the league in the platform, the Volunteers have strong expectations when the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships start Wednesday at home.
The meet begins at Allan Jones Aquatic Center at 10 a.m. with preliminary swimming. The first round of diving begins at 12:30 p.m. with the women's 1-meter event and the men's 3-meter springboard.
For some quick notes on the Vols diving in the meet:
Even before his final postseason run, this much can be said for diver Ryan Helms: few Vols have had the career he has enjoyed the last four seasons.
Helms enters the SEC Championships as the current league leader in the 3-meter springboard, throwing down a score of 442.35 on Senior Day against Florida. He also ranks second in the 1-meter with a score of 387.97, and he posted his career-best score in the platform in January with a 344.95 total, the fourth-best in the conference.
What a year it has been for Helms. College accolades aside, he also punched his ticket for the US Olympic Trials by reaching the 3-meter finals of the USA Diving Winter Nationals. He was also selected to represent team USA in the Canada Cup.
As a junior last season, Helms enjoyed his best performance at the conference meet. He scored a second-place finish behind teammate Michael Wright in the 1-meter springboard. He picked up another silver in the 3-meter event.
Freshman Mauricio Robles has only competed on the platform once this season, but it was enough to post the second-highest tower score in Tennessee program history. He recorded a conference-best six-dive score of 404.00 to take first-place at the Tennessee Fall Invitational.
Robles also has the fourth-highest score in the 3-meter with a 398.93 total to win the event at Georgia.
Tennessee's two in-state junior divers, Brent Sterling and Jordan Mauney, are off to their best seasons yet.
Sterling, from Knoxville, has posted career highs in all three diving events this season, especially excelling on the 3-meter, where he ranked seventh in the SEC with a score of 375.15. He's scored a 346.13 on the 1 meter and a 256.85 on the platform.
Mauney, from Signal Mountain, cracked the 300 score on the platform for the first time this year. He finished 11th in the Georgia Diving Invitational by putting together a score of 300.55 in January.

Last week on Kentucky Tonight, we discussed the disagreement among House Republicans, Senate Democrats, and the White House over the federal budget and the Affordable Care Act. Our guests on that program seemed to agree that lawmakers would come to some agreement to avoid a government shutdown. Little did we know!
So last night, while legislators in Washington argued over that very issue, our guests on Kentucky Tonight debated another hot topic: gun laws. I asked our panelists if they thought Congress would approve any of the gun laws proposed since the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, last December. Our guests all said that passage of anything gun related in this session of Congress is doubtful.
A recent article in the Washington Times explored the challenges President Obama has faced in advancing gun control measures. The story highlighted a brief remark Obama made in a speech about the Navy Yard shootings. The president said, "By now, it should be clear that the changes we need will not come from Washington, even when tragedy strikes Washington."
One issue that gun advocates frequently raise is that not enough "good guys" have weapons, while individuals with mental illness can obtain guns all too easily. That point elicited lively debate among our Kentucky Tonight panelists.
In April, the Senate rejected a bill that would have required background checks for some intrastate firearms transfers between persons who aren't licensed gun dealers. Opponents argued that, if passed, the legislation would set up a national registry of gun owners – which provided another point of disagreement among our guests last night.
Next week on Kentucky Tonight, we'll discuss the Affordable Care Act and see how the law is working a week after the launch of the new health exchanges.

beadboard panel installation (ceilings)
hi there,
I am about to begin installing beadboard paneling (4x8 sheets) on our kitchen ceiling and have a couple of questions.
most of the beadboard tutorials that I read say that it should be installed perpendicular to the ceiling joists. I can understand why you would need to do this if one was using individual planks, but is this necessary when using the sheets? our joists are 24"oc, and we plan to glue as well as nail.
what size/type nails should I use?
and lastly (this is mostly a design question), I'm wondering what, in a bunch of "stanger's" opinions ;) would look better on our vaulted kitchen ceiling: the "planks" running up the incline, or the "planks" running the length of the room, perpendicular to the incline? the kitchen is a long rectangle, the ceiling slopes upwards across the width of the rectangle as opposed to the length of it.
thank you very much!
- john
On the design issue I would think it would depend on the dimensions of your ceiling. The bead board sheets would have butt joints at the 4' end but would look like a continuous piece if you can have most of your joints on the 8' side. What are the dimensions?
the kitchen is about 26 feet long by about 10 or 11 feet wide. the ceiling slopes up the short way, across the 10ft length.
I have a couple of suggestions. In that size kitchen, using the 4x8 sheets of beadboard is going to make it very difficult to end up with a good looking result. How would you get the end seams to look good. I STRONGLY recommend using individual planks and staggering the ends as you would on a wood plank floor. If you are going to try to do the job alone, it will be extremely difficult to use the sheets. Even with one helper, it will not be easy to get the sheets to lay flat and straight and line up perfectly with the previous sheet while you are holding it with one hand and trying to nail with the other hand. I understand that the planks are more expensive, but the finished product will look FAR better and have a better chance of staying up with no popped seams or sags. It will be worth a couple hundred extra dollars to get the look you are picturing and avoid the cussing that will happen when the sheets are MUCH more difficult than you thought they would be.
If you decide to use bead board, however, (which is your choice, of course) I suggest using construction adhesive. If applied correctly, it will never come loose. You can use a few aptly placed nails (minimum 1-1/4/1-1/2" through 1/2" sheetrock) for added strength and support while it dries. Remember to assure that the ends and edges of the sheets meet on a nailer. This is important. This problem is eliminated using adhesive. Also, you can use crown or other type molding on the ends of the bead board.
One additional suggestion. If you use a stud-finder and mark the studs on the adjacent walls, it will be much easier to keep the nails running in a straight line.
thank you for the suggestions!
we are going to use the panels, primarily for time and money constraints. I have no doubt that individual planks would look and feel nicer, but we've got to make due with the time we've got right now.
as for the adhesive (I've got several tubes of liquid nails), should I run a bead along each rafter? what is the recommended nail spacing on the edge and throughout the field?
John said: "as for the adhesive (I've got several tubes of liquid nails), should I run a bead along each rafter? what is the recommended nail spacing on the edge and throughout the field?"
John, do what you have to do. There is no right way or wrong way in this case, only your way, as far as the bead board goes.
When I secure anything with adhesive, I always put it on the material that I am installing. It is best to apply it in a "S" pattern the length of the panel, to assure that it is evenly dispersed when the panel put into place. In the case of panels, several "S" patterns edge to edge will work best. As I said previously, a few aptly placed nails won't hurt.
I have never had any installation fail using this method.
just to follow up on the project and close out the thread:
we ended up using the ply-bead and are very happy with the results.
it's an old house, so we spent a lot of time preparing the rafters and joists to give us a pretty level and consistant surface (pretty level...in our old house, nothing is plumb or level or square, really!).
purchase a finish nailer for the job. it's worth it, believe me.
you were right about the but joints: they are very visible. we used 1/2" x 2" pine to trim over those joints.
our walls are drywall, so we needed to put up some moulding there (also to cover the gaps that we were left with). we used 1x4 pine for this. we bevelled and planed all the moulding, by the way. it was a quick step with a huge effect.
after all of this, I used some paintable silicone caulk on the lap joints and dabbed some over the nail holes along that joint as well. used the same caulk (tooling with my finger) to cover imperfections along the perimeter moulding.
once it's primed and you get a finish coat on there, it looks good. much more character than drywall!
thanks again for the advice, everyone.
Thank you for sharing your finished product. It looks very good!!:thumbsup: The extra time that you took preparing the surface definitely paid dividends. I always tell people doing projects that planning and preparation are 80% of the job. The remainder takes care of itself.
great idea on the trim piece....
Beautiful Job!
thanks guys!
old thread i know, but we are thinking about doing this for our bedroom ceiling in the attic right under the roof. what do you guys think?
we are looking at this:
we think its easier than putting up drywall

Shutter Island. A film that will divide the film community. A film that
will leave many upset, and hating it. A film that has already
completely split the critics. A movie that messes with you. And no one
likes to be messed with. And that is exactly where it exceeds. Think
I'm contradicting myself?
Shutter Island is one of the most well crafted psychological thrillers to come by since Silence Of The Lambs. And it is no coincidence both were brilliantly written novels. Shutter Island is adapted by a book written by Dennis Lehane (wrote gone baby, gone and mystic river). It is a book filled with twists and turns, that will leave the reader dizzy. And, that is what it's film counterpart does to the fullest. Martin Scorsese helms the director chair, in a movie where he is more free than any before. This is Scorsese at his most unrestrained.
Marty takes what he has learned from the great films of the past and puts it into his. The master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock's influence is everywhere you look in this film. And it is no wonder, considering Scorsese even showed one of his greatest works to the crew: Vertigo. And many of those ideas are present in Shutter Island; the cliff scenes scream Hitchcock. This is a film that creeps and crawls, and is filled with dark corners. And it is all heightened by the coming storm that looms over the island. This is classic film noir.
The story follows Teddy, a federal Marshall, and his partner Chuck (Played by DiCaprio and Ruffulo). They go to this mysterious island enveloped in fog to investigate an escape. From these opening scenes, Marty has set up a dark and creepy premise.
Almost the whole movie incorporates this story as Teddy desperately tries to find the truths he seeks. Teddy is shown as a scared man; a man of war and violence as portrayed in various flashbacks. These will go on to be increasingly important as the story progresses. We follow Teddy on his quest, through every dark corridor and perilous confrontations. Slowly, we are given pieces to the puzzle, but the audience does not even realize it. For we, like Teddy, are blind. For the moment at least. It is because of this that the thrilling conclusion will leave many blindsided. But, you see, that is where this thriller becomes something more. We as the audience are put in Teddy's shoes, and we feel all the things he feels. It is a complete assault on the senses, and it works beautifully.
This is a film you must watch carefully. That is another thing that sets this apart, it is a horror film that makes you actually think. In this day and age, I'm not surprised some found it terrible esp. after their brains have been turned to mush by these new gore filled horror films. Scorsese's ultimate goal here is to wake you up. And trust me, you probably wont like it.
This is also a film I would recommend seeing a second time. In fact, it is even better the second time. All those pieces of that puzzle you didn't catch the first time, you will the second. You see, we as the audience are first put in the shoes of Teddy. The second? Well, without giving too much away, lets just say you are put in someones else's shoes entirely during the second viewing.
Shutter Island. A film that will make you question your own sanity. A film that will leave you breathless. A film that has re-ignited the thriller genre. A film that will leave you, and the main character, searching for answers.
10 out of 10
There is one line of dialogue, right at the end of Shutter Island
before the credits roll, that elevates the emotion of the film and
makes it much more powerful. For those of you, like me, who read and
enjoyed the novel before seeing the film and felt that the trailers and
advertisements for this film were leading you to believe there wouldn't
be any narrative surprises in store, think again! Scorsese's film
features that one brief piece of dialogue at the films conclusion that
results in an entirely different perception of the final act. The rest
of the film, however, is very faithful to Dennis Lehane's already great
Shutter Island represents exactly what one should hope for when seeing a novel being interpreted to film. While it certainly does the source material justice, it also adds small changes that make for a distinctive experience. Even if you've read the novel multiple times, you'll feel like you're reading the book for the first time again while watching. Scorsese perfectly recreates the menacing atmosphere of the island on film. Every location is foreboding and drenched with hints of unseen danger in dark corners. The lighthouse, the caves, the civil war fort housing "the most dangerous patients," and the island itself--every locale seems large yet claustrophobic and isolated at the same time.
I often experience claustrophobia myself and there are certain films that really capitalize on that personal fear and make it more relevant and eerie to me. Neil Marshall's The Descent was one such picture, and this is another. An confined island is a terrific horror location and it comes with its own type of fear. The utter desperation to escape from a persistent and confined nightmare is something Teddy (Dicaprio) is receiving in high doses, and so does the audience.
As with Scorsese and DiCaprio's previous collaborations, this is a movie that must be seen. Here they explore the horror/thriller genre with gravitas, with no small part played by Laeta Kalogridis in supplying the screenplay. While most modern pictures of its kind lack character or any real sense of suspense, Shutter Island doesn't go for cheap gags. I concur with Ebert when he says one of the key elements to this film is that it releases its tension through suspense instead of mindless action sequences. That's not to knock a well-deserved frenetic scene of violence every once in awhile--it works to the advantage of some films like Evil Dead II and Planet Terror--but had Teddy and Chuck gone running and gunning through the facility's faculty, the mood this movie keeps in check so well would have been lost.
However, that mood isn't sacrificed and "spooky" is punched up to full force. A considerable amount of that spooky is generated by a "best of" collection of actors that have mastered the art of creepy: Ben Kingsley, Jackie Earle Haley, Ted Levine, and Max Von Sydow just to name a few. Had Tom Noonan been thrown in the cast as well, my "Top Five People I Would Not Want to Be Left in the Dark with, Especially in a Room with No Doors or Windows" list would have been completely exhausted. On that note, is it just me or has Sydow mysteriously not aged since The Exorcist? Was there a secret pact made between Lucifer and Father Merrin? Whether he sold his soul or not, he's quite ominous in every single scene he is present in. All of this great talent in front of the camera doesn't mean anything though if you don't have a faithful orchestrator behind it. Luckily you have Scorsese leading the lens and he points the movie in the right direction, even if this isn't among his very best works. His style works amazingly with suspense laden projects and at times he even seems to channel Hitchcock and Kubrick, though there's always something distinctively Scorsese about the presentation. I found the editing in the opening scene, with Chuck and Teddy approaching Shutter Island, to be very odd and frantic, though I think the audience will know why Scorsese displayed the scene the way he did after completing the film.
With a body of work so impressive, Shutter Island is among captivating company. The good news is that Shutter Island carves out a place of its own in his resume. While no Goodfellas or Raging Bull or Taxi Driver, I have no problem placing Shutter side by side The Last Temptation of Christ and Bringing Out the Dead. The cinematography is bright and gorgeous. Scorsese doesn't rely on the over-grainy, ugly presentation that most modern horror or suspense-riddled thrillers rely on. He uses lush, bright color during daytime and dream sequences to flush out a distinct feeling of terror.
Shutter Island isn't just a pretty face, its also got a great story to boot and this is why I've been anticipating the film for so long. As mentioned earlier, I've been exposed and digested the source material myself before seeing the movie. I was worried the trailers for the film were giving away too much through their spots on television and on the silver screen, but Scorsese has added enough to the film for the story to feel fresh even for those "in the know." You are transferred in the films paranoia and phobia once the camera pans through the mental facilities open doors. Lehane is one of the luckiest authors on the planet to have his work adapted to the big screen by talents such as Eastwood and Scorsese, but his work is brilliant and deserving of such treatment.
At the risk of spoiling plot points for potential viewers who have not read the book, I'll leave a Related Recommendations section concealed in "Spoiler" tags. Discussing this story at any length can be quite revealing.
I just saw Shutter Island this evening, just prior to its American release. I have to say this film was full of intrigue. Prior to viewing this film I had built a preconceived notion of what this thriller was going to be like because I was fooled yet again by good marketing when watching the trailer. This is probably not the movie for your average film-goer who wants an easy plot line to follow and little thought required. This movie does challenge the viewer physchologically and definitely holds your attention all the way through. For someone who was never much of a Leonardo fan, his performance is brilliant, so much range to his character. In fact all of the acting in this film is excellent. The directing is probably the best quality to this film. I always enjoy watching a film that is as unpredicatable as this film and where the director has turned the plot line on to his viewer.
Really, Scorsese should just give it away for anyone. The man is one of the most brilliant directors of our time. Anyway, let me get to the actual movie; I just saw it at a early screening and have to write this while I'm thinking about how stunning it was. Shutter Island is certainly not a typical film, not even for Scorsese. It is a different take for the director, and he does it, as he does every film, perfectly, so much as to be in his own league of film-making. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say this: Shutter Island was completely unexpected, and a great start to 2010. It had all the components of a great film, and then some. The acting is spot on from every character; none of it seems forged or out of place. The script is fantastic; it has one of the most intriguing plots I have seen in a while (exception being Tarantino's Basterds). Everything, down to the set's lighting, was perfectly executed. I will say that not everyone will like this; Shutter Island, again, isn't your typical movie. To those, though, who do choose to see this film, be ready for a compelling, gripping, thought-provoking experience, so much so that you might think to see it again for further clarity (I know I will; it was so entertaining and my mind was blown!). Don't be surprised if you see this at the next Oscars...
From the look of the trailer, Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" looks
more like a horror film
This is a dangerous place where isolation
rules under fascist control. A U.S Marshall is sent to an asylum to
investigate a missing patient but discovers so much more. A demon? A
ghost? Something more? Is this going to be as disappointing as I think
it is?
I was skeptical walking into the theater, wondering if this twist could hold water. The film starts with Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck, standing on a ferry. They talk about their assignment. What's suspect here is that there is no additional development. We are bam, smack right into the story without so much as an opening montage. All that we see is the men smoking a couple cigarettes. Though this is what begins as momentous development. As our hero smokes we that this isn't the glorified top lit smoking of a beauty or that of a sophisticated and confident gangster. We see that this is a harsher character with poor posture, someone who doesn't sleep well, someone with a deep past
They are greeted at the gate by guards whose attitudes' seem immediately suspect. Soon we meet Dr Crawley, a seemingly complex and modern man who runs the asylum. However, he soon turns uncooperative with the investigation. Inmates and staff are hiding something but what? Everyone here seems off. Evidence and clues begin to appear but not before our hero seems riddled by psychosis himself. "You act like all this madness is contagious." Daniels says to the guard. Is it? Soon we begin to wonder, too, but not before he uncovers the tip of the iceberg and it's not only painfully intimate with his own past but also a mass conspiracy. The Nazis had concentration camps and the Americans have Shutter Island.
Though, it doesn't stop here, but to say anything else would do the story injustice Kingsley is in his finest role in years. Similarly, DiCaprio reaches new levels. Amongst others Elias Koteas, Ted Levine, Michelle Williams, all play small but wonderful roles. Robert Richardson captures a world all of its own.
While Scorsese is a master of film I'd say that his specialty has been more character than story. This is a fresh balance of both. It's a mix of noir and thriller. It's only sort of a horror movie and could be compared to "The Shining" but it makes it look like it's a one trick pony.
All this praise being said it's not for everyone. The story is complex. It takes some attention. At times it's a bit bleak and dire. Of course it all makes a little less sense when you actually think about it but then again that's film. There are a couple of moments where the story gets lost within itself. Things become a bit too complicated. At this point you might begin to lose faith in its viscosity, but don't worry because the story has you right where its put you.
Finally, a horror/thriller that actually, genuinely scares the crap out
of you. Not because it has fancy villains in masks or sadistic buckets
of gore throughout. No, it scares you because it messes with your mind.
Most will hate this movie, they don't like their brains being tampered
with. I loved it. It's what we needed after all those gory R-rated and
sometimes lame-duck PG-13 horror crap-fests.
The horror/thriller genre has been raped lately, with gore and scantily clad- women replacing the noir and terror that Alfred Hitchcock perfected in the '50s and '60's. Here director Martin Scorsese delivers in full blast, crafting a thriller in his own unique vision. The atmosphere throughout the movie is tense and unsettling. Slow as it may be, but it is crucial to the movie and it's genuinely gripping. Your attention WILL not be lost. The scenery is beautiful and finely done with no excessive lighting, grain or darkness. The editing by Thelma Schoonmaker is fluid and pitch-perfect, and never makes the film lose focus. The movie is based on a book by Dennis Lehane and is packed with twists and turns that will leave you breathless and uneasy. The movie cranks the breathlessness and uneasiness up to the power of 5. The music is also perfectly suited with the scenes. There is sometimes no music during suspenseful moments, and sometimes the music makes the scene even more disturbing and memorable. Alfred Hitchcock's noirish thriller style is back with a vengeance, here to teach today's moviegoers the REAL meaning of suspense and horror.
All the actors in the movie are in top-form. Once again, you can't go wrong with a Leonardo DiCaprio/Martin Scorsese collaboration. As the protagonist, we the audience are thrust into his shoes and we are about as confused and scared as his character is, we feel what he feels. It becomes a psychological trip that poses many, many questions about oneself, that to discuss them here would spoil the entire movie. There are some flashbacks in the movie, but all of them are important clues to DiCaprio's character. DiCaprio gives a stunning performance, once again tempting the Academy to give him another Best Actor nomination. DiCaprio gives a vivid portrayal of a vulnerable, haunted and ultimately terrified man. Apart from DiCaprio there's really not much I can say about the supporting cast, because they are all also terrific. Ben Kingsley; Mark Ruffalo; Michelle Williams; Max Von Sydow; Jackie Earle Haley; Emily Mortimer; Patricia Clarkson; Ted Levine; Elias Koteas; John Carroll Lynch. All of them.
In short, this is a psychological and frightening masterpiece that will make you scared, will make you think, and will make you seek psychological help. This is one of the best films of the year. See it, go in with an open mind and prepare to be blown away.
Overall value: 9/10.
I saw this and I knew what to expect going in to the film as I had already read about half of the book but never got the chance to finish it. But I was surprised at how faithful the film was to the original material.The directing was also masterfully done and pretty cool I saw some cool camera tricks I hadn't seen since Martin Scorsese directed Bringing Out The Dead, Martin Scorsese did one great job and everyone was top notch especially Ben Kingsley and DiCaprio and I never though I would jump out of fright especially in a Scorsese film but I did. All in all a solid thriller with a good story and some great performances and for me it's the best film I've seen in 2010 so far.
Martin Scorsese has done it again. He pays attention to every detail in
this film, making "Shutter Island" one of the best suspense thrillers
of all time.
Visually intriguing, simplistic and absolutely phenomenal. The story is kept simplistic enough so it doesn't get absurd, but allows for an ending which you probably won't see coming. The film doesn't go for cheap thrills, so although you will be on the edge of your seat you won't get needlessly scared.
The film uses everything at its disposal from breathtaking scenery, to detailed laid-out shots, and to actors at their finest to completely engross you in the film. I loved every minute of it and highly recommend it to everyone. Even if you're not a usual fan of the genre, this film has so much more to it.
Similar to my rating for this film, you can argue that 9 out of 10
people who watch this movie, it will not be their first Scorsese film.
Most of us know the genius that he is and coming into this showing we
should expect brilliance, and gladly he delivers a captivating
storyline driven by great acting. Unfortunately with the release of
Shutter Island was also a press release that Taxi Driver may be remade,
so that news made me hesitant to care, but I'm glad I was wrong.
Shutter Island is the story of Teddy Daniels, A U.S. federal marshall sent to the island with his partner Chuck Aule to search for the disappearance of a patient. Each scene provides a turn against their leads and compels them to look for more whilst searching in places we couldn't comprehend, including their minds. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo feed off each other and supply great performances for their characters as expected, but some of the other characters whose names are riveted on the posters or marquees are sensational as well. The two that stuck out to me most were Ben Kingsley (Dr. Cawley) and Michelle Williams (Dolores, Teddy's wife), each of whom brought so much dramatics and new questions to the movie, developing plot twists and controversy. I don't think this film would be the same without them.
Even to begin explaining details of the plot and how everything comes to fruition causes me to feel migraines alike the ones Teddy gets in the movie, therefore I won't ruin anything for you now. Take my honest word that if you enjoyed any Scorsese movie in the past or have enjoyed movies that include surrealism, Shutter Island combines the two into an intense thriller that boggles the mind and possibly even "corrode it, rusts it". Also, if you are hesitant to watch this film because the trailer perceives it as a horror film with a lot of "jumpy" scenes, ignore that. I had the same feeling entering it, and there was only one towards the very end, but it was worth the shock. You will miss so much detail trying to cover your eyes for a few minutes sporadically throughout that it's not worth it. Take the risk of jumping out of your seat for once, because it was the best scare I could ask for.
9/10. Not Martin's best work, but come on, could you make a better movie than him?
Martin Scorsese returns to film making after winning the academy award
for The Departed with his fav star Leonardo DiCaprio.. This time he
move to a completely different script which keeps the audience humored
and thrilled from the first scene till the last! The movie( which i saw
at the Berlin film festival!) blew away the minds of many people, the
plot being so strong and thrilling which kept the audiences guessing!
When it comes to acting Leonardo lets no stone unturned! The supremely talented actor has once again showed that why Martin casts him in his every movie as he is simply superb! He not only fits into the role smoothly but delivers a terrific performance every time! Sir Kingsley being the head psychiatrist of the asylum has also done a marvelous job!
The film is full of flashbacks and haunting dream sequences that range in location from the island itself to the concentration camp at Dachau. The audience is constantly trapped in a world where one questions what is reality and what is dream. Don't miss this one!

What was interesting about these threads is that the Huffington Post readership seems to be split. Half of the top comments are your generic anti-Israel poor suffering Palestinians BS and the other half are supporting Israel in executing its right of self defense. Is this a sign the HP isn't the echo chamber of anti-Israel hatred it once was? Anyway, here are the comments:
Huffpost approved and up for hours.
And here are some more from more recent threads. The usual measured, legitimate criticism of Israel:

I recently graduated from a technical school with the goal of changing careers and entering the IT field. I have a little IT professional experience and my A+ certification. Any tips on finding a job?
First, thank you for your question and good luck on your job search.
You mentioned in your email that all you needed was a little experience and training, but no one was willing to give you a chance. My suggestions to you are threefold. First, don't underestimate your knowledge. Second, don't underestimate your experience. Third, there are ways you can potentially enhance your knowledge, experience and training while job hunting.
Regarding your knowledge, you have your A+ certification and the knowledge you gained at the technical school. You said you have worked with XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Microsoft Active Directory, batch file, and other Microsoft-based software. This is a highly marketable skill set.
Regarding your experience, your resume shows that you upgraded hundreds of PCs at a major financial institution using a flash drive based process that you designed. Being at a financial institution, who surely did a background check on you, shows you are hire-able and can be trusted. Having created the flash drive based process shows you have both initiative and the technical ability to perform this type of task. Your resume also shows you worked in non-IT jobs within the travel and manufacturing industries. That said, you have worked within three industries and every industry likes to hire their own. Therefore, financial services, travel and manufacturing are three great places to concentrate your job search because you have already done work there.
Regarding places to gain additional experience, consider the following:
Work free at a small local PC Fix-it company: Find a small PC maintenance company near your home and offer to work part time for free until you find a job, under the condition that they will let you work on a variety of PC related issues/tasks, provide some on-the-job training as needed and give you a professional reference. The reason I say work for free is that many small, one or two person, companies can use the extra hands, but don't have the cash flow to hire and train you. These type of firms do great work and the company owners are generally very knowledgeable techies and great business people.
Apply for a part time job at PC retailers: Don't underestimate the value of working part-time at a retail store fixing and/or selling PCs and other related electronics. For example, a job with Geek Squad at Best Buy or an equivalent role at Staples, would give you a very wide variety of PC maintenance experience, provide you with a great item for your resume, and open the potential for full time work at Best Buy or Staples, both of which provide unlimited career growth. I have had PCs fixed at both of these companies and received excellent service from very competent computer professionals.
Use contracting firms and recruiting agencies: If you have not been working with these types of companies begin contacting them. These types of firms generally don't work with people who have no experience, but you have some as previously mentioned.
Contact your schools career office: Most technical schools have very strong job placement departments for their recent graduates. Not only is it a great student benefit, but having a high percentage of recent graduates with jobs is a great marketing asset for the school. Therefore, it's in their best interest to help you find a job.
Consider working remotely: Many major computer vendors, both hardware and software, have people working remotely from home. Consider applying for work at these types of firms. Generally, they are always looking for good people and provide free training on their particular hardware and/or software products. You may not want to do this forever, but it's a good way to get some additional professional experience and employment with a nationally known company.
In closing, if your job hunting plan isn't working, expand and/or modify your plan by thinking of new avenues to add to your job search, such as the suggestions previously mentioned. Also, as a topic for another day, expand your professional network, both physically and electronically. That is to say, physically go to local professional meetings and meet people who may be hiring or know of open positions that have not yet been officially advertised. Regarding electronically, get heavily involved in social media related to your profession. You may find that either, or both, of these networking activities may help you find your next great job.
If you have any questions about your career in IT, please email me at email@example.com or find me on Twitter at @EricPBloom and @MgrMechanics or at www.ManagerMechanics.com.
Until next time, work hard, work smart, and continue to build your professional brand.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: discharge planning for successful recovery
Theobald, Karen A. & McMurray, Anne (2004) Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: discharge planning for successful recovery. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 47(5), pp. 483-491.
|PDF (130kB)
Background. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a lifesaving intervention, but the early recovery period presents a number of challenges for patients, carers and nurses. Early and adequate discharge planning based on in-depth knowledge of the post discharge experience can help to ensure optimal recovery.
Aim. This paper reports a study to examine the range of postdischarge issues, concerns and needs of patients and their family carers after discharge after CABG surgery, and explore their perceptions of unmet needs 1 year later.
Methods. A two-phase naturalistic inquiry was undertaken. Interviews were conducted with 30 patients and their carers 45 weeks after coronary artery bypass grafting (phase 1) and 1 year after the initial interview (phase 2). Thematic analysis was used to identify the major concerns of participants.
Findings. Almost half the patients experienced heart surgery as a huge personal shock. Adjusting to life afterwards was difficult, and they experienced a variety of changes, including pain. An unexpected finding was a heightened sense of body awareness and the need for postoperative physical adjustments. The financial implications of surgery were a major burden. Lifestyle adjustments were important and led to suggestions for support services, using telephone support and/or community patient networks. All participants recommended strengthening discharge planning with more accurate information about what to expect during recovery, to help them anticipate fluctuations in health and wellbeing. Carers experienced a wide range of unanticipated feelings during early recovery and had to deal with a number of personal changes.
Conclusions. The findings suggest a need to improve discharge preparation and provide enhanced home support services. Further research should evaluate models of periodic follow-up and mechanisms for mutual support, and compare the experiences of cardiac patients and their carers with those of other surgical cohorts.
What is already known about this topic The numbers of surgical interventions for cardiac disease will continue to increase, given the effectiveness of surgery in reducing mortality.
Discharge plans addressing the early recovery phase after coronary artery bypass graft surgery have thus far overlooked a broad range of longer-term patient needs.
Little attention has been to the self-defined needs of carers of these patients.
What this paper adds Patients' and carers' needs for information and support following coronary artery bypass graft surgery are not being met.
Patients' and carers' would like more professional support and follow-up after discharge.
Heightened body awareness and adjustment to postoperative physical changes are important issues in this client group.

International Free Press Society
The International Free Press Society (IFPS), founded on January 1, 2009, is a creation of the Danish Free Press Society. The stated purpose of IFPS "is to defend freedom of expression wherever and by whomever it is threatened".
The IFPS was created as an extension of Free Press Society, Denmark, created in 2004 by Lars Hedegaard, a Danish newspaper commentator. According to its own account, the Free Press Society arose because of increasing pressure on free speech, including the Danish Cartoon crisis.[1] The Free Press Society claims to be "Denmark´s biggest organisation exclusively devoted to defending the right of free expression."[2] The society is closely connected to the counterjihad movement[3] and in the article The Muslim Conspiracy and the Oslo Massacre Liz Fekete, the Executive Director of the independent educational charity named Institute of Race Relations, argues that it is an instrument for pushing the boundaries of hate speech.[4]
The International Free Press Society has contact with a range of international critics of Islam who argue that islamisation threatens Freedom of Speech, including Ayaan Hirsi Ali,[5] Ibn Warraq, Daniel Pipes, Geert Wilders, Bruce Bawer and Henryk Broder.[6] It also relays information from other sources, amongst which are the blogs Gates of Vienna and Jihad Watch,[7] which have been characterised as islamophobic.[8][9]
The Free Press Society, Denmark, among others, awarded Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard the Sappho Award, an award given to a 'journalist who combines excellence in his work with courage and a refusal to compromise'. His editor Flemming Rose is another recipient.[10][11] As culture editor of Jyllands-Posten he commissioned the Muhammad cartoons, a move that resulted in the chief editor sending him on leave.[12][13]
Muslim hate-speech case[edit]
On 22 December 2009 the Chairman of the Danish Free Press Society, and then member of the Danish People's Party, Lars Hedegaard, gave an interview in which he declared that Muslims "rape their own children. It is heard of all the time. Girls in Muslim families are raped by their uncles, their cousins or their fathers."[4][14] He also stated that "Whenever it is prudent for a Muslim to hide his true intentions by lying or making a false oath in his own or in Islam's service, then it is ok to do it."[15]
Søren Krarup a fellow party member, said that Hedegaard's remarks were justified, though they could have been more "carefully" stated. He instead blamed the controversy on a "media mafia" whom he accused of distorting Hedegaard's statements. Søren Espersen defended Hedegaard's remarks.[16][17] Others were more critical, and Hedegaard's interview led to the immediate resignation of three Free Press Society board members: Liberal Party MP Søren Pind the Conservative Party's Integration spokesman Naser Khader and the Lutheran priest Kathrine Lilleør.[18] Vicechairman in the Integration Council in Aarhus Municipality Yilmaz Evcil reported Lars Hedegaard to the police, and the public attorney chose to make a case against him for violating the Danish anti-racism laws.[19] His trial began January 24, 2011.[20] He was acquitted of all charges on January 31, 2011[21] however the Eastern Regional Court reversed the acquittal in May 2011.[22] Ultimately, he appealed the verdict, and in 2012, the Supreme Court acquitted him in a 7-0 decision.[23]
According to IFPS Policy Statement, the tasks of The International Free Press Society are many and varied. Among them:
- To serve as an international advocacy group for free speech
- To serve as an umbrella organization for Free Press Societies in different nations
- To collect, analyze and disseminate critical information
- To propose and coordinate countermeasures against threats to free speech
- To advise and inspire local and national groups and organizations in their defense of free speech
- To defend individuals or organizations that are being persecuted for having stood up for free speech
- To raise money for the above causes[24]
The "Board of Directors" includes Lars Hedegaard, Diana West, Paul Beliën (editor of The Brussels Journal), Christine Brim, Bjørn Larsen and Edward S. May (editor of Gates of Vienna).[25] It has national branches in such countries as the United Kingdom, where Paul Weston is or was the President of the English branch.[26] The "Board of Advisors" includes Asger Aamund, Bat Ye'or, Andrew Bostom, Helle Merete Brix, Rachel Ehrenfeld, Brigitte Gabriel, Frank Gaffney, David B. Harris, Ibn Warraq, Hans Jansen, Ehsan Jami, Philippe Karsenty, Roger Kimball, Ezra Levant, Kenneth Levin, Andrew C. McCarthy, Daniel Pipes, Nidra Poller, Roger Scruton, Kathy Shaidle, Robert Spencer (editor of Jihad Watch), Mark Steyn, Brad Thor, Bruce Thornton, Allen West, Geert Wilders, Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi.[25]
Gunman attack on Lars Hedegaard[edit]
On February 5, 2013 it was reported that a gunman had tried to shoot the organization's president Lars Hedegaard. Hedegaard was not physically harmed. The attack was condemned by Denmark´s prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, other leading Danish politicians and Dutch politician Geert Wilders.[27][28]
