I have two labs, both with papers and already fixed. The yellow is complimented all the time due to her appearance, she is almost one year old.
The black lab is truly the sweetest dog I have ever had. She is very eager to please, smart, and stands up to her older sister when need be. She is just 6 months old.
We bought these dogs, right after we bought our new house with a great back yard. Then put up the privacy fence for them to play.
Now my husband has reenlisted in the Army and we are being stationed where no yards are available.
I am desperate to find good homes for my girls. I am not asking for any money just the peace of mind that they will be loved and have lots of room to play.
Thanks so much

Michael DeNicola pens his thoughts on the Flyers current injury dilemmas, and possible candidates for the team's compliance buyouts this summer.
Losing Grossmann is a huge blow to the Flyers. He has been playing very well. One can only hope that he is 100% ready for the playoffs. But until then, Lilja needs to step up his play and fill in for his injured countryman.

HelpThing topics needing updating
HelpThing and WikiThing
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
Similar to the other thread, this one is about HelpThing topics that are woefully out of date, due to site changes. What pages have you seen that are a little embarrassingly outdated?
I'll try to keep on top of the thread and update this first post with a listing of what's mentioned downthread.
HelpThing:Pics needs updating. It does not reflect the change in policy as regards copyrighted images, whereas the related WikiThing page ("Contributing Photos to Librarything") does.
There is no HelpThing page for Collections (It's WT), but the WT page is linked to a lot from HT, and it's terribly out of date. Hasn't been touched much since they came out.
You can make any page a HelpThing page by adding {{HelpThing}} at the top.
And actually, Collections already is.
By the way, what's out of date on Collections? Has the feature changed, or are there other features that have changed in ways that affect Collections?
Well, that depends on what we mean by HelpThing page. It has the template, but it's not in the HelpThing namespace, meaning it doesn't search/narrow like a HelpThing page.
I'd have to take a closer look at it - I just noticed awhile ago that bits felt out of date. I seem to recall that it reads like a new feature guide and should be (IMO) tightened up now that it's not new. I'll take a closer look next week if no one else has.
Just to add an clarify. One or more of the following things are sometimes meant when people say "HelpThing page":
1) Pages linked to by the Help link on the top-right
2) Pages with {{HelpThing}} at the top, which are searched by the sitewide search under the HelpThing
3) Pages in the HelpThing namespace, which are returned when you click the HelpThing namespace on the wiki search
Did I cover them all?
6> Did you miss the announcement that HelpThing and WikiThing pages are now included in the main LT search?
No, sorry - let me clarify.
If it does /not/ live in the 'HelpThing' namespace, you can still search for it, but it won't show up if you've limited you search.
So basically, if you tell the global search 'I just want to search help topics, not the whole wiki', stuff that isn't in the namespace - like Collections - won't show up. This to me is the biggest argument for actually having a separate namespace and for moving things into it (as we're talking about here).
So I just read brightcopy's list more carefully above and I see that the search is /not/ using the wiki parameters (meaning my rambling about limiting only applies to an in-wiki search, not the site-wide search), so my desire becomes a little less firm! I left the struck out stuff in case anyone was desperate to know where my confusion came from.
I think I will go talk about this more in the other thread so as not to derail this one more. Sorry!
9> No problem. The conversations we had on that thread yesterday were very helpful in figuring things out. I had some assumptions that didn't quite fit with reality, either.
I'm posting a recap on that thread just to avoid derailing this one.

Pear Streusel
Tart cranberries are mellowed by the addition of pears in this pie filling. An oatmeal-streusel topping adds sweet crunch.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
- Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie
Source: Martha Stewart Living, November 2010
For the Crust
- 1 disk Pate Brisee
- All-purpose flour, for surface
For the Cranberry Sauce
- 6 ounces fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (1 1/2 cups )
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
For the Streusel Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Coarse salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the Filling
- 1 1/2 pounds firm, ripe pears, such as Bosc or Bartlett, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Make the crust: Roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the cranberry sauce: Bring cranberries, granulated sugar, water, and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a pot. Cook until cranberries are tender and start to burst and sauce is thick, about 25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick. Let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the streusel: Whisk together flour, brown sugar, oats, ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until combined and mixture resembles coarse meal with some large pieces remaining. Refrigerate.
Make the filling: Mix together pears, granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the flour, and lemon juice. Stir in cooled cranberry sauce.
Transfer filling to crust; top with streusel. Bake until filling is bubbling in the center and top is golden, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool.

Gwar Guitarist Cory "Flattus Maximus" Smoot Dies
Gwar guitarist Cory Smoot (pictured left), better known as Flattus Maximus, has died, according to the band's Dave Brockie, who goes by Oderus Urungus. Smoot was found dead this morning as they prepared to cross into Canada while on their Return of the World Maggot Tour. In a statement, Brockie said:
"It is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of Gwar must announce the passing of their long time guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot, also known to thousands of metal fans worldwide as Flattus Maximus. Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. There is no word as to the cause of death and the members of Gwar are completely shocked and devastated that this has occurred. At this point there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of Gwar's current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today. We ask that our fans and the media be respectful of our request for privacy for those that have suffered this terrible loss. A full statement will be coming in the next day or so, in the meantime please give your thoughts and your prayers to Cory, his family, and all the people that love him."
Revolver's sister magazine, Guitar World, conducted Smoot's final interview last month, available for reading here.
The staff of Revolver wishes to extend our thoughts to his family, friends, and former bandmates during this time. R.I.P.

In a hole, Amsterdam tunnellers just keep digging
By Harro ten Wolde
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Early one evening Helena van Gelder heard bricks falling. Minutes later, she and her three young sons were standing outside their 17th-century home, watching it sink eight inches within hours.
It was a terrible shock, but the family living on Amsterdam's Vijzelgracht thoroughfare was merely the latest casualty of a tunnel that has been the city's 3 billion euro ($4.5 billion) headache for seven years.
Years behind schedule and so over-budget officials have abandoned hope it can recoup the cost of construction, the new metro project is wrecking historic buildings as it cuts through spongy sand and water more than 30 metres below sea-level.
"Seven years of nuisance and this is what we get," said the 47-year old communication adviser. "I truly find it terrible. I am not the sensitive type, but I don't want to be near that house any more."
Built to house a rapid transit system aimed at connecting business in the north and south of the city and relieving overcrowding, for now the subway is a gash through the city and risks joining history's great construction fiascos.
No-one has died in the project so far, unlike the 195 killed during construction of the Hoosac tunnel in Massachussetts before it finally opened in 1876 -- at a cost seven times original estimates, according to the North Adams Public Library.
The Dutch project's cost is still less than the estimated 10 billion pounds poured in the 1990s into the Channel Tunnel between Britain and the European continent -- that was double the original estimate.
But the scale of ambition -- driving an underground project beneath listed historic buildings through soggy marshland -- is comparable. And the nuisance is mounting. Continued...

Man Attacked with Machete
Published January 17th, 2011
An argument between two brothers-in-law over a pallet gun ended when one of the men grabbed a machete.
The incident happened Sunday night at a home just off Southeast 36th avenue in Ocala.
According to Ocala police, Luis Alvarez and his brother-in-law, Pedro Reyes Cuevas were arguing when Cuevas grabbed a machete cutting an eight inch gash in Alvarez's throat.
The cut wasn't deep. Alvarez was taken to Shands Medical Center and has since been released.
Cuevas was taken to jail and is facing charges for attempted murder.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2014 (1247 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jennifer Jones' women's curling team that will represent Canada at the Sochi Olympics was named Manitoba's team of the year for 2013 by the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association.
Meanwhile, Chicago Blackhawks forward Jonathan Toews was named male athlete of the year and swimmer Breanne Siwicki was named female athlete of the year at the 58th annual MSSA awards banquet that was held in Winnipeg on Sunday.
Jones' foursome, which includes former Brandonite Jill Officer at second as well as third Kaitlyn Lawes and lead Dawn McEwen, had a solid season. They won their record sixth provincial women's curling crown and went on to finish second at the national Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
Their best highlight, however, came in Winnipeg at the Roar of the Rings Olympic qualifiers in December. The Jones team went 6-1 in the round robin and then defeated Sherry Middaugh 8-4 in the final to earn the right to represent Canada at the Olympics.
Jones received 25 first-place votes and 156 points. Matt Dunstone's Canadian junior curling championship team finished second.
Siwicki won six medals at the Canada Summer Games, including gold in the 1,500 metre, in which she broke the Games record by more than 11 1/2 seconds. She received 14 first-place votes and 126 points, narrowly beating Brandonite Lisa Barclay for the award. Barclay, who was named the MVP of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women's volleyball championship while guiding the UBC Thunderbirds to their sixth straight title, received 118 points. Barclay was also a member of the national women's volleyball team.
Toews, who also won the award in 2007 and 2010, won the Frank Selke trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward and the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks. He had 23 goals and 48 points in the 2012-13 season and a plus-minus rating of +28. Toews received 25 first place votes and 156 points to win the award.
Glenboro golfer Josh Wytinck, who was named co-winner of the Manitoba Amateur Golfer of the Year, was a finalist for the award.
Brandon-born broadcaster Daren Millard of Sportsnet was also named to the MSSA Media Roll of Honour.

The point of this blog has been to educate the readers about (among other things) what constitutes a healthy religious experience, and to that end, this article is splendid:
The talk of the town last week was about a New York Times profile of an (accused) rapist/serial womanizer/wife-abuser ex-rabbi who essentially got kicked out of the Jewish world and has successfully resurrected himself as a new-age guru. His name is Marc Gafni, and I actually know/know-people-who-know women whom he messed with. I heard about him years ago at a Shabbos table — some people who had left his sphere of influence were discussing his move to Boulder and said, "I don't know why he keeps trying to work in the Jewish world. He should go to the new age — they don't care about sexual propriety." Apparently he had the same idea.
The list of red flags in this piece, How to Spot a Spiritual Sexual Predator, reminds us that MM was simple a run-of-the-mill spiritual pervert who fit a standard profile, which includes:
The Spiritual Man Who Thinks You're Special: You are a light in the darkness to him. He is your teacher, and he sees soooooo much brilliance and potential in you. You are what he needs, and he is what you need — spiritually, of course. Or he wants to personally help you. You, more than anyone, are worth his precious spiritual energy and time.
The Spiritual Man Who Pierces You With His Eyes: His gaze is unbelievably powerful. When he looks at you, you swear he can see right to your soul. Why do they always pierce you with their eyes? It's a move of control and dominance. I once had a creepy swami try to pierce me with his eyes, and I left his ashram within 10 minutes.
The Humble Man Who Talks About Himself — A Lot: I've met way too many of these guys. All conversations lead back to him. He is so humble that he doesn't even have his own possessions or home — instead, he's going to mooch off of you and other women. Counter something he says, and he's going to throw the humble card at you: If you don't agree with him (or you don't flatter him), you're arrogant. Since he is so humble, you are assaulting him by disagreeing with him.
It is these characteristics that may or may not be sexual teases, but still have the capacity to rattle a marriage and cross the boundaries of propriety. Even with "chaste" priests -- who draw women into their web of influence by being extra understanding, or supportive in difficult times, or encouraging of distinct gifts. Beware always, and again I say, beware. I am not entirely convinced that the Legion has learned to separate its fund-raising and recruitment techniques from those that border on a sort of perverse seduction. I would love to be proven wrong ...
There's more, and the list is very good. To be clear, to call MM a "run-of-the-mill spiritual pervert" is not to say that the damage in his wake isn't horrifically grave and deeply personal -- just that from now on, we should see that there is a series of characteristics that should give us pause. It's like understanding what a cult is -- plenty of astute people fall into them, and these charlatans are ubiquitous. Keep these items in mind, share with your friends, and teach your children. Ours was only one chapter in a long and sordid book.

There is just no telling what those crazy users are going to do. As a recent post at Worse Than Failure makes us realize, they can simply do some impressively unpredictable things. The case in question has bank tellers using the Windows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) to manually kill a process for an annoying dialog their employers had the developers make un-cancellable as an error checking precaution. I am simultaneously dumbfounded at their incompitence for thinking it fine to repeatedly hard kill processes as a form of annoyance reduction and my sheer amazement that the users knew enough to even try it in the first place.
The lesson can be applied in a lot of places. We need to do more than predict what the user will do: we need to make our software robust enough to stand up to the random environmental attacks it will take from the users' strange and completely unpredictable behavior. The user could be clicking on our links or importing our packages (end user versus developer) and inevitably they will do what you did not account for. Account for the unforeseeable.
Account for End User Ingenuity
Software is annoying and the most annoying things will be avoided. The ways we find to work around limitations, real or perceived, are huge. That is exactly what the bank tellers were trying to do. The dialog in question made them double check money counts on large amounts, but they trusted themselves and each other enough to learn how and pass on the technique of subverting the required dialog to save just a few seconds every few transactions. Yes, it didn't not even come up on a typical basis, so don't expect frequency to estimate likelyhood of tampering. The user might put up with an annoying main menu for years, but abuse a glitch to skip a step in a process they only use every few weeks.
Probably the single most effective way to combat dangerous ingenuity of end users is the feedback mechanism. Let the user subvert through you, not around you. Enable responsive adaptation to their needs, and tweak the hell out of the interface to shave off those milliseconds. Milliseconds add up when you're on your feet all day.
Account for Developer Ingenuity
We can take this story and adapt it to ourselves. We know there are things we do to software that only for-pay websites would show you. No one is more abusive to software than those who create it, and when we deal with the internals we only have more strings to pull. Whether you develop libraries consumed by other developers, or want to avoid abusing the libraries you use, there are steps you can take to keeping usage on the path.
Here, our single greatest ally is reduction. Take away optional parameters no one has asked for yet. Don't implement a function that has no use case. Eliminate type checking to allow proper ingenuity through duck typing, while being prepared to properly accommodate common patterns that arise, which you never foresaw. Give the other developers constraints by giving them less to work with, but let the pieces they have flex into shapes they need, so you can take their feedback and adapt the code to officially support every unofficial dirty deed they bend it over for.
Account for Your Ingenuity
Who uses your software more than you do? Maybe the most dangerous person to watch out for is yourself. No one has access to pushing the limits of the software more than you do. The users can find ways to subvert your interfaces. Other developers can exploit oversights in the API. You, on the other hand, can bend the entire thing to your will. If you think a high math function would be useful in all the places you happen to use the special file format library you develop over on Google Projects, don't add it right away. Ask yourself if it really belongs there, if anyone else will you use, or you would accept the patch coming from someone else and without yourself wanting the feature. As much as the users and other developers can take advantage of your software, you need to look over your own shoulder more than anyone, but there are a lot more of them than there are of you (hopefully!), so don't let your guard down from their side, either.

The Chaos Theory of User Ingenuity
2 comments:
- Jason Hare said...
Usually one includes a usability analyst, or should, somewhere in the lifecycle of your development project. User behavior is actually quite predictable. The developer that wrote the application annoying enough to warrant a bunch of bank tellers to run windows task manager to get their jobs done should ask him or herself how can I have written that to run silently in the background to take up less resources so as not to be annoying? In windows tasks should run at most as normal priority and best at low prioroty....just sayin...

[Pig's blood was sprayed on the wall of Mosquée de Saguenay and a hate letter was also left at the scene.]
By Elham Asaad Buaras
Police in Quebec's Saguenay region are investigating what they are calling "heinous act" after a mosque in Chicoutimi in the city of Saguenay was sprayed with what is believed to be pig's blood on Saturday August 31.
Mosquée de Saguenay official Moustafa Elayouby said, "No one has claimed responsibility for the vandalism, but a letter was left at the mosque, denouncing Islam and telling supporters to assimilate or go home."
"This mosque has been baptized with fresh pig's blood from Quebec," said a copy of the letter sent to Radio-Canada in the Saguenay region.
Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay said he believes this was an isolated act committed by "fanatics," and not representative of his community.
Tremblay said he believes the vandals may be using these public religious debates as an opportunity to get attention.
"With the discussion we will have all over in Quebec in the next months, maybe you will see many things like that. It can be dangerous."
It's not the first time something like this has happened in the Saguenay. In February, someone distributed hate-filled pamphlets aimed at religious minorities.
This incident comes at a time where the Quebec government is introducing a controversial secular charter, which would ban the wearing of hijabs and other religious clothing and symbols.
A spokesman for the Canadian Muslim Forum, told The Muslim News he is certain there is a link between the Islamophobic incident and the political the charter.
"Clearly the government of Quebec is intending to deny a segment of Quebecers their human right of their expression of religion, either by their dress or their expression of values. This comes as no surprise to us and we are even expecting the worst."
Mayor Naheed Nenshi said the proposed ban on religious headwear and symbols in some workplaces promotes intolerance.
"Not only do I think that it is an abrogation of Canadian values and ethics, I also think it's horrible public policy," says Nenshi.
"We're not talking about government neutrality. We are actually saying to some children because of the faith you follow there are some jobs you are not eligible for. Imagine if we put a sign up in a window of that deli and said orthodox Jews need not apply here? Imagine the outcry there'd be? That's what we are talking about here," he adds.
Nenshi says anyone who is uncomfortable living in a society with those kinds of laws is welcome here in Alberta.
"Whether or not you are person who wears a turban or hijab, if you're uncomfortable living in a society saying people who wear turbans should be excluded from certain jobs, come here – we 're happy to have you," says Nenshi.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | August 2011 (Revised September 2011) Wii Encore? Andrei Hagiu Nintendo faced huge difficulties in July 2011. Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox had caught up with the innovative motion-sensing controllers of the original Wii. And the new Nintendo 3DS handheld console had experienced a very disappointing start. Moreover, videogame consoles (particularly handheld ones) were facing increasing substitution from online and mobile games played on social networks and/or mobile phones (e.g. Zynga's Farmville). First, could Nintendo come up with a novel and innovative console once again (a Wii Encore) in order to escape head-to-head competition against its two larger rivals (Sony and Microsoft)? Second, how could Nintendo fend off the new substitutes, which were competing for a large portion of its customers?

If Just For One Day…..
Five years ago and now it all seems like a dream. One glorious evening, one never to be forgotten. Legends, each and every one of them. Written into Scouse forklore, memories engraved into the hearts of Kopites everywhere. The utter disbelief of the first half, the awe inspiring feat of the second and the glorious rapture of the end. Where were you? You might ask that of those who saw a man walk on the moon. Heard the radio reports of the assassinations of JFK or John Lennon. Watched horrible acts of terror unfold in New York and London. But in Liverpool, it's a much happier question. Istanbul…
Where were you when Maldini scored the first? Were you on the floor with your head in your hands? Slack jawed, unable to move? How about when Crespo made it 2? Did you change the channel? Leave the stadium? Curse Dudek to unholy Hell? 3 unanswered goals and you were doing shots by this point, weren't you? Forget the good stuff, it could have been turpentine for all you cared.
What about halftime? Were you singing You'll Never Walk Alone? Hands held high. Hoping, praying. Promising your first born, your wife, your savings account and Mans Best Friend just to make a match out of it. Deflect some of the shame. The agony. The anger.
Where were you when Stevie scored the first? Were you screaming at the top of your lungs? Scaring the cat and dropping your drink? How about when Smicer made it 2? Did you hug the person beside you? Pump your first in the air? Sing his name to heaven? 3 unanswered goals when Alonso drew level and your faith was restored. Forget the turpentine, in a span of 6 minutes we've got a chance.
What about extra time? We're you singing We Shall Not be Moved? Hands pulling hair. Hoping, praying. Promising your house, your car, your 401k and anything else within reach to see us lift the cup.
Where were you when Dudek saved from Shevchenko? Was it unabashed joy? Unbridled, uncontained ecstasy? How about when Stevie hoisted the Cup? Did you fall to your knees? Did you run around the kitchen table? Shout his name out the window? 5 European Cups and you were doing shots at this point, weren't you? A hoarse voice and a smile that wouldn't go away for weeks.
I was there ((Metaphorically speaking, of course.)).

The son of Deputy Commander took the lead at the top of the stretch from fellow Woodford Racing color-bearer Gallant and held off a mild bid from 1-2 favorite El Brujo, who was 2 1/4 lengths in arrears in the contest for two-year-olds, foaled in Canada.
Khabibulin finished third. Active Duty traveled 1 1/8 miles in 1:52.01.
"I got the privilege to work both of these horses," said Fraser, making reference to fourth-place finisher Gallant, who set the pace under Patrick Husbands. "It set up pretty nice for me. I was actually wondering if (Gallant) was the only one I had to worry about."
The victory was the first in the Coronation Futurity for Casse, who accomplished the feat with a gelding that had never before raced on Polytrack.
"It just worked out that way. I looked at having him ready for the Cup & Saucer," said Casse, referring to the 1 1/16-mile turf event on October 26 in which Active Duty was sixth. "When I worked him on the Polytrack, he worked quite well. He's a beautiful horse."
The Ontario-bred, who sold for $80,000 last September at Keeneland, is now 1-for-5 with $178,120.
Active Duty returned $25, $7.50 and $4.10, combining with El Brujo ($2.50, $2.10) for a $64.20 exactor. Khabibulin ($3.30) rounded out a triactor worth $222.50.

Litigation: Lawyer wrote memo as company resisted efforts in wrongful death suits to disclose research.
It was an interesting time to be cleaning house.
The year was 1985, and tobacco companies, facing a surge in wrongful death claims, were being pressed to disclose internal documents on their knowledge of the risks of smoking.
Even as they fought the discovery requests, lawyers at Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., the third biggest U.S. cigarette maker, sought to clear what they called "deadwood" from company files.
In a memo that used the term seven times, B&W corporate counsel J. Kendrick Wells said he had advised Earl Kohnhorst, B&W's vice president for research, development, and engineering, on the need to prune scientific reports from his files.Read more: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-08-02/news/mn-22739_1_wrongful-death

Thanks @digitalscience, haven't noticed it
Does anybody knows if it is possible to sell iOS app design on TF? Does it make any sense?
Hi guys,
I have developed a theme design for a magazine (18 pages), but TF has rejected it and said following:
This is better suited for Site Templates or WordPress — or another category, it has potential to be accepted but it may require more improvements before it's approved under another category.
Your are not providing an unpleasant template but the PSD category requires higher quality in terms of aesthetics.
Does anybody wants to help me to create a HTML +/- WordPress versions and upload it?
A few screenshots:
Hi Mansi,
hope next time we will be more lucky Unfortunatly, I also can't understand the logic.
Thanks @Webbu for valuable help. I am going to design else WooCommerce pages and publish extended version of design.
That is not WooCommerce Page. If I will buy your PSD's for design a WooCommerce Landing page I need to see more pages. Like how can I put products a category page or a cart. Like a html template. Or you can change it to normal landing page.
Agree, your point makes sense. But why they don't mentioned about it in a comment to the rejection… I can't read their thoughts…
The reason why I have decided to publish landing page first is because my previous designs for WP theme have not been accepted too (one design 20+ pages, another one 30+). So I decided to "test" the landing page concept and then move forward.
Thanks @Webbu
Your design looks nice but a little bit need to improve spaces between rows.
I have made spaces between rows in one line height (font size * 1.5), as it has been mentioned in one tutorial published by envato. How should I change it?
This is only one page with different combinations.
The idea was to publish just lading page design. Like this one, which has been accepted and has only one little page. So the amount of pages in my work are acceptable in other work accepted on the marketplace.
What's wrong with that screenshots? I have posted them just as an example of my work.
Hi folks!
I have been working for a while on my new project and decided to publish landing page design (+ a couple of features) for sale. After four days of waiting I have received a rejection with NO (NO = means 0 comments) comments from reviewer. Just dummy text in the reply, that my design does not meat minimum requirement of quality, no comment from reviewer, even no reviewer name, nothing else, just dummy snippet…
However in the same time the new PSD templates have been accepted, and I can't say that their quality much better then my.
How can I improve my work if I don't know why it has been rejected? Here is the link on screenshots of my work:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65095733/screenshots.zip
Can anybody explain me what is the minimum requirements of quality and why it is applied to one design and doesn't for another one?
Regards, Elumi

Northwestern - Nov. 2nd, 2013
2012 Record: 10-3 (5-3 Big Ten)
Best Returning Player – Offense: RB Venric Mark
The Wildcats ranked fourth in the conference with 226.3 yards per game. The key cog behind their success was Mark and his 1,366 yards. The junior's breakout season in 2012 included 12 touchdowns and more impressively, six games of 100 or more yards against Big Ten opponents. Prior to his junior campaign, Mark had never carried the ball more than 15 times in a season and he only found the endzone once in his career. Now that he has a year under his belt and a boatload of confidence after recording the third most rushing yards in the conference, there's no telling just how dangerous Mark will be in his final season. One thing is for sure, though, and that's the fact that Mark will be the cornerstone of Northwestern's offense next season and he'll have plenty of chances to make a name for himself at the national level.
Best Returning Player – Defense: DE Tyler Scott
There's two All-Big Ten caliber players on Northwestern's defense: linebacker Damien Proby and Scott. The reason Scott is labeled their most important player on defense is his ability to pressure the passer. The Big Ten was home to some of the most talented pass rushers in the nation, most notably Ohio State's John Simon and Purdue's Kawaan Short. Yet, matching Simon's sack total was Scott. With a Big Ten leading nine sacks, Scott proved to be a force to be reckon with for opposing offensive linemen and he'll undoubtedly face more double teams in his senior season. Still, though, Scott will remain the most valuable player on the Wildcats' defense and his presence will boost the performance of his teammates, especially Proby.
Biggest Loss – Offensive Line
The most overlooked position in all of sports, the loss of guards Brian Murloe and Neal Deiters and tackle Patrick Ward cannot be overstated. These three players helped propel one of the nation's best running attacks and paved the way for Venric Mark, Kain Colter and everyone else who contributed in the Wildcats' ground game. Northwestern's ability to replenish their offensive line in 2013 will be a major determinant in whether or not this can finally be their year to win the Big Ten.
Last Meeting vs. Nebraska – October 20, 2012
Head coach Pat Fitzgerald would have really liked to see this game turnout differently than it did. The Cornhuskers' 29-28 win came to fruition after the Wildcats blew a 28-16 lead with less than six minutes to play.
Taylor Martinez came to life in the final five minutes, hitting Taariq Allen and Ben Cotton for eight and seven yard touchdown passes, respectively. The dual-threat quarterback racked up 342 passing yards and four total touchdowns. This wasn't a pretty game for Nebraska, though, as they turned the turned the ball over three times via fumble.
After suffering a devastating loss at home, Fitzgerald will certainly have his guys fired up with hopes of doing the same to Nebraska in front of their hometown crowd.
How They Matchup With Northwestern:
2011 Statistics:
Scoring Offense: Northwestern (31.7), Nebraska (34.8)
Scoring Defense: Northwestern (22.5), Nebraska (27.6)
Passing Offense: Northwestern (169.5), Nebraska (207.4)
Passing Defense: Northwestern (250.5), Nebraska (168.1)
Rushing Offense: Northwestern (226.3), Nebraska (253.4)
Rushing Defense: Northwestern (127.6), Nebraska (192.5)
Total Offense: Northwestern (395.8), Nebraska (460.8)
Total Defense: Northwestern (378.2), Nebraska (360.6)
Nebraska Player to Watch: WR Kenny Bell matched up with the leagues' worst pass defense, Martinez will have plenty of passing lanes to work with. This should translate into a terrific outing from Bell. In last year's matchup, the sophomore wideout hauled in six passes for 77 yards and one touchdown. Northwestern is well aware of Martinez's abilities, but stopping both his arm and his legs is a tall task. The senior quarterback will have his way with the opposing secondary and he'll go to his favorite target early and often in what will be Nebraska's hardest conference game to date.
Interesting Northwestern Fact: Getting pressure on Northwestern can be done. Bringing the passer down, though, proved to be near impossible. Their quarterbacks, Trevor Siemian and Kain Colter, were sacked a league-low 16 times. In comparison, Nebraska allowed 35 sacks.

Wanted: Chassis with heatsinks for 100w/ch Solid State amp build. Ship to usa, 95521
Hoping to find an old stripped chassis with heatsinks - like an Adcom, B&K, Hafler or any other brand. I know people here may want to keep them if they have them, but if I don't ask...
Can be scratched, dented, etc. Will reuse for an Ampslab LM60, 60 watt+/ch stereo amp build.
Less than $100, even some funky one for much less.
Have found nice new ones that will work for that wattage for $100-150. But I don't need it to be in great condition as can straighten and paint.
Open to tips on ebay etc buys (have searched there and am continuing too.)
Also - just heatsinks would work as I have some perforated metal sheet (like Dynacos) and could build a frame and use it for case, incorporating heatsinks.
Thanks, Don

Rhassoul Clay --
Do any of you use this clay for your skin and/or hair? It's supposed to be really fabulous stuff and I'm thinking of ordering some. I've been using bentonite clay for my face and I like it a lot. I haven't tried it yet on my hair. If you've used them both, do you think that they are very different, and in what way? In other words, I have a lot of bentonite clay left; do I NEED to buy this other clay? Will it really do something wonderful for my skin/hair beyond the bentonite? The PJ in me has been going nuts lately.
Here's a thread I started when I used the clay mask. It's supposed to detoxify. It made my curls tighter, but it's drying. I can't use it on my face--have roseaca and skin allergies and find it too irritating.
Since I switched over to the natural soap bars, I find they cleanse "just enough," tighten, curl and add volume. I do have a few that have clay in them and use those on occasion. Because of all the oils in the soap, they aren't at all drying.
Thanks, KathyMack. I think I've read all the threads now. I haven't seen anyone compare rhassoul with bentonite as a face mask (I see Misspam likes the rhassoul for her face and hair); so in the interests of science, I've gone ahead and ordered the rhassoul clay. :roll:
I also just bought my first amla, shikaikai, and other ayurvedic powders. When I was at the grocery I saw the Swastik shikaikai shampoo bars that you've written about, so I picked one up. Can't decide what to try first! I see that you moved on to other bars you liked more pretty quickly, but I haven't used any shampoo bars yet, and this one was there, and cheap, so what the heck. I almost never low-poo, my hair & scalp seem to do fine with just co-washing & such, so I don't think shampoo bars are going to be a regular thing for me, but I figure I'll try the Swastik bar at least and see how it goes. But first, I think today I'll try the shikaikai powder. So many options, so little time!
I have used it for my hair and much prefer it to bentonite as it doesn't get lumpy. I'm not fond of clay for my skin unless I'm lying on a treatment bed and an aesthetician is applying it. I mix the rhassoul with yogurt, oil, a bit of acv and herbal extracts of marshamallow and burdock.
The Swastick Shakikai was the first shampoo bar I ever used. My hair responded really well. As the weather changed in the Fall, it made my hair dry. I found the natural soap bars I used--and the Swastick Shkikai was history.
Kind of Off Topic
Kathymack-- how often do you use shampoo bars?
I know that there are a lot of gals in the 4a and 4b forums that use the clay masks on their hair. I've not had the courage to try it since I'm afraid I'd have hard time washing it out.
Thanks, all. I did order some of the rhassoul clay, so I'll play with it and see what I think. I do like doing the clay mask on my face -- SuburbanBushBabe, I'd love to be lying in a spa with someone tending to me, but I don't know when that's ever gonna happen, so I have to be my own spa attendant.
KathyMack -- question about the Shikakai shampoo bar: When I try it, should I pre-oil my hair? Do you do that with your CV bars? Also, should I plan to do an ACV rinse after the Shikakai bar? I just want to give it a try; I don't think I *need* to use shampoo bars, since I never feel the need to 'poo/lo-poo, but I'm curious to try it.
I did my first cleaning with the shikakai powder yesterday. I'm not sure if it was the powder or if I just did a really good job applying my latest batch of FSG, but boy, I had GREAT hair yesterday, and today, after refreshing with some diluted GVP balm and then a little JCN&S, I got curl that must be one level up from my usual. I'm going to do my first amla treatment this week, too! :blob: I'm going to have way too much fun hair stuff to play with now; I can't decide what to try next, and I only wet my hair like twice a week!
I don't use the CV bars, they made my hair dry and tangled. If they were the first bar I used, I would have never used another. I gave them away after one use.
is a ACV rinse always needed after using a SB?
The purpose of an acid rinse is to restore pH balance to hair--soap is alkaline, hair is acid. It also flattens the cuticle. The last few times, I add a little of the Dr. Bronner's Shikakai Rinse to my rinse out conditioner. When I tested the rinse, it was VERY STRONGLY ACIDIC according to my test strips. Thought that would be enough.
So I went ahead and washed today with the Swastik Shikakai bar (I oiled my hair last night with quite a bit of coconut oil). I liked using the bar & the smell doesn't bother me, and it removed the coconut oil easily. My scalp feels good. Then I did my first k-pak treatment, then used my GVP Co Balm and usual routine with FSG. Hair is still wet, but is looking and feeling good; however, I won't really know the effects of the bar vs. the K-pak. I did not do the ACV rinse -- do you think I should do that after the Swastik bar, as a general rule? I just felt like there was too much going on today with the protein pack & all!
Thanks for all your tips and advice.
I know about the mineral oil, which I normally avoid. But I don't notice any feeling of buildup today. I don't expect to use it very frequently, but I have a feeling that the Shikakai will remove it, if it's a problem.
Turns out that I got great hair today! Don't know if it's from the Shikakai bar, or the protein treatment, but I'm so pleased. :thumright:
and thanks kathymac for your insight!
Mine have been sitting for two weeks. I should probably check them. The ones that exude the mucilage may not work (ie, marshmallow.) The herbs are expanding and filling the bottle by soaking up the alcohol--may not yield any liquid. The others seem fine.

Summit School District: Decision yet to be made on solar panels
October 24, 2012
Deliberations over whether to install solar panels at several district schools continued Tuesday evening at the board of education meeting. The Summit School District has been looking into the possibility of installing solar panels in four sites – the Summit High School fieldhouse, Summit Middle School, the district's facilities building and Summit Cove Elementary.
Discussion revolved around two main factors – the financial value and the educational value of the project.
The district has already saved money by installing higher energy-efficient lamps and light ballasts in 2011. Though previously predicted to save large amounts of money, further research seems to reveal that the financial impact of the solar panels may not be much.
"This isn't going to make or break our utility bill. It's not going to create this huge savings," said Mark Rydberg, director of the district's business services.
The difficulty with the solar panel savings is that the district must set an optimal solar production level. If usage falls below or rises above the optimal level, then further payments will be due to the solar company. They key (and difficulty) is to determine the optimal production level, which is set by the number of panels arrayed at each site.
Though the financial savings may not be significant, the panels are guaranteed to have a positive environmental impact, reducing emissions of 600,000 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere.
"I think that's huge," said Summit Cove principal Crystal Miller. "I think that's our kids' future. … This is the chance to say we're going to do something in our own backyard."
The solar arrays also offer a unique educational component, which some feel offsets the lackluster financial aspect.
"That's something that you can't really buy," said school Boardmember Erin Young.
If the project is approved, the deadline for finished construction will be June 26, which is a tight timeline considering the approaching winter months.
The board decided to continue follow-up research questions before making a final decision. A vote of whether or not to approve the solar panels is planned for the next meeting, Nov. 13.

Given the lower efficiency resulting from the overload of bus stops, the capacity and travel time of passengers influenced by skip-stop operation are analyzed under mixed traffic conditions, and the travel time models of buses and cars are developed, respectively. This paper proposes an optimization model for designing skip-stop service that can minimize the total travel time for passengers. Genetic algorithm is adopted for finding the optimal coordination of the stopping stations of overall bus lines in an urban bus corridor. In this paper, Tian-Mu-Shan Road of Hangzhou City is taken as an example. Results show that the total travel time of all travelers becomes 7.03 percent shorter after the implementation of skip-stop operation. The optimization scheme can improve the operating efficiency of the road examined.

Salgado defeats Barros; keeps IBF title
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Mexican IBF super featherweight world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (26-1-1, 16 KOs) retains his crown by unanimous decision against Argentinian WBA former champ Jonathan Barros (34-3-1, 18 KOs) at the Miguel Hidalgo Gym in Puebla, Mexico. All three judges scored it 116-111 for Salgado who successfully defended his title for the third time.
In other action, Nicaraguan René González (31-5, 23 KOs) won by split decision over Mexican Ricardo Alvarez (18-2, 12 KOs) to retain his WBA Fedelatin lighweight title over 11 rounds. The judges scored it 106-105 and 107-104 for Gonzalez and 109-105 for Alvarez.
Mexican lightweight prospect Alejandro "Flakita" Sanabria (33-1, 25 KOs) scored an eight round TKO over Japan's Seiichi Okada (16-3, 9 KOs).


text: From the looks of the demo, it's a safe bet the story-related scenarios at least will give you the freedom to define your play style. When confronted with a surly bouncer who wasn't too excited about letting Jensen enter the club, the demo's driver went through a simple-looking menu-based dialog tree to talk his way past the front door. The conversation system doesn't look quite as elaborate here as the ones in games like Alpha Protocol and Mass Effect have recently, but each option does carry a label dictating how aggressive or focused on the topic at hand it is. Of course, afterward I was told it would have been a perfectly valid option to just shoot the guy and storm into the place, too.

Comments about oreilly Cooking with jQuery:
I was given an advance copy of this video as part of OReilly Blogger review program.Cooking with jQuery is a three hour video presentation made by Mike Hostetler (President, appentTo) and Jonathan Sharp (CEO, appendto) on 20th July 2010, in O'Reilly OSCON (Open Source Convention) in Portland, Oregon. Mike and Jonathan are both members of the jQuery team and have been involved with jQuery for a long time.The presentations starts with a quick overview of the jQuery syntax, illustrating the shortcut notation of "$", as well as the best practice of declaring the scripts at the bottom of the page. It then moves on to the jQuery selectors. Once you select, then the next thing would be do some operations on the selected elements. The presentations walks through many of the jQuery operations available. The chaining feature - a speciality of jQuery is explained, as is the distinction between find() and filter().Some of the new jQuery features (available in 1.4) like the object literal notation and elegate() are also covered as are the different methods available to insert and remove elements from DOM (Document Object Model).Then the presenters move on to live demo by showing some example snippets, with increasing complexity, including an php-based ajax demo. There is also reference to mockJax, a library to mock ajax calls, as well as a quick demo of how to use qunit to unit test jquery code.The presenters are knowledgeable in their topic. The style of presentation is good, with lots of examples and interaction. The demo is particularly appealing.There were many instances when the presenters were making code changes, but the camera was focused on them, instead of the code. Many of the audience questions were also not audible and not repeated for the benefit of the viewers.Barring these, this video is a useful introduction to the power of jQuery and can serve as a handy reference for tips, tricks and best practices.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm going to Arizona for the first time in October, and was just browsing google maps when I found this:
It appears to be a massive test track/proving ground, but it is easily twice the size of the nearby Volvo one:
That Volvo facility looks amazing, all the testing tracks and the 2.15 mile straight away looks fun.
But, it's dwarfed by the almost 4 mile wide track about 15 miles to the west...what it is?
Edit: The track is exactly 10 miles all the way around.

Dear monkeydo, I've only just come across your review (as below). I'm truly sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your cut. I'm at a bit of a loss, as I don't recall anyone indicating to me that they were unhappy with their haircut - around the time of your review. So I don't know the details and circumstances concerning your appointment. Nevertheless, can assure you that no effort would've been spared in rectifying this for you, if only I knew. My sincere apologies if communication between us was lacking, where by you didn't feel comfortable telling me this, either during or after your visit. However, the fluffiness you spoke of, does sound like an easy fix. I do hope that you will contact with us and allow me the opportunity to resolve this for you. As having an unhappy client is unexceptionable to me and your complete satisfaction is definitely important. Best regards Tina

The Unshaven
By Screamin' Selena Maranjian
with apologies to Edgar Allen Poe
Once, upon a regrettable theory, while I vacationed at Lake Erie,
I scrutinized many a quaint and curious stock chart of yore --
While I studied a certain stock's mapping, I engaged in some hand clapping
As it was quite strapping, strapping -- as if the stock would soar.
"'Tis a sure sign," I uttered, recapping the stratospheric gains I'd shoot for.
This was my research... and nothing more.
Later, distinctly I remember... the stock was called U.Dismember,
Designed to help committee members remove members they abhor.
Eagerly I waited for it to skyrocket, but instead it hit an air pocket.
From that trade, a surfeit of sorrow -- sorrow for the never-reached summit,
For the many dollars lost in that stupid stock's rapid plummet.
I learned a small lesson... and sadly, nothing more.
I soon spied in another stock's chart -- the auspicious shape of a golf cart.
It thrilled me -- filled me with fantastic tremors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis sure to skyrocket and continue to soar.
My fortunes are made thanks to this stock's mighty roar!"
The stock sank quickly... then nothing more.
Presently my brain grew smarter; staring at stock charts no longer,
I tossed my technical analysis books out the back door.
But the fact is, as I tossed, gently came my unshaven neighbor Ross,
And he came with a hot tip, a penny stock that was sure to soar.
I loaded up on that baby, I did, imagining riches galore.
Darkness fell... and nothing more.
Deep into my darkness peering, the doctor confirmed the ulcer I was fearing,
My blood pressure up, the S&P 500 up, but my stock, alas, was no more.
The silence was unbroken; unshaven Ross had misspoken.
Those 30,000 once-promising shares now worth less than a subway token.
I forswore the pennies and the hot stock tips. And, what's more...
I vowed to change. (My past I deplored.)
Back to the library for more free learning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon I sensed my perspective turning, as through Motley books I pored
Presently there came a feeling, that in investing I'd be succeeding.
My new conviction had me reeling; revealing I could prosper like John Doerr.
Soon online, I headed for that website with an esprit de corps:
For me 'twas the Motley Fool... and nothing more.
I then flung open the shutter, when, with many a click and scroll flutter,
In there sputtered a Foolish education on investing since the days of yore.
On Buffett, Lynch, and Gardner (D.), on Graham, Dodd, and Gardner (T.)
On Scheiber, Fisher, Fischer, and Wettlaufer, too. (But no Zsa Zsa Gabor).
With the humor of Lardner, the sense of Twain... I could not snore.
For me, t'would be buy-and-hold investing, and little more.
Now, years later, I'm still smiling, while onto my coffers more wealth is piling,
And the unshaven are still dialing their brokers every hour -- what a bore.
When they quiz me, not understanding, I explain the power of branding,
And that their ways are demanding an inevitable crash landing -- and gore.
My distaste for their methods notwithstanding, I advise them to reform.
Ever-Wise, they reply, "Nevermore."
I find it now my mission to denounce these superstitions
That entrance the technicians and those who common sense ignore.
With the Steps 13, I offer the unshaven zombies a vaccine
Lest their portfolios be blown to smithereens, cleaned out and more.
Folly is now my life, on Halloween, and every day. I must underscore:
We're Fools, we are, me and the wife, Lenore.

Bistability, hysteresis and fluctuations in adiabatic ensembles of nanoparticles

DOI: 10.1007/s11051-009-9597-y

- Vollath, D. & Fischer, F.D. J Nanopart Res (2009) 11: 1485. doi:10.1007/s11051-009-9597-y
A presuppositionless thermodynamic analysis of the phase transformations of nanoparticles in an adiabatic enclosure leads to a series of predictions of the transformation behavior. These predictions are perfectly confirmed with experimental results, which have been difficult to be explained until now. The most important predicted and validated phenomena are: (i) a broad range of bistability or hysteresis in the vicinity of the transformation temperature, (ii) the width of this range increases with increasing particle size and with increasing temperature, and (iii) the transformation temperature may be higher than the one for bulk material. As in reality, an experiment can never be performed in an idealized isothermal or adiabatic environment; one always has a mixture of these conditions. This influences the results. The outcome of this analysis explains why different authors report, probably dependent on experimental conditions, widely scattering results.

The Clymb is the largest daily deals provider in the outdoor goods, apparel, and adventure travel market, with 5 million members, $60 million in annual revenue, 3 million MUVs, and over 800 brands represented.
Like many e-commerce companies, The Clymb tracks metrics about its members across a number of touchpoints – email, web, social media, mobile, and more. What makes The Clymb so successful is how it pulls all this data together, using Lytics, to build digital customer personas (called unified User Profiles in the Lytics UI).
Digital personas paint a highly granular and constantly evolving picture of each member. They start from day one – collecting information when a member registers, tracking each time a they engage across any number of touchpoints, and monitoring every purchase they make.
Of course, not every member behaves the same, so this data is critical in helping The Clymb personalize their messaging and offers to drive more purchases and maximize revenue.
Lytics is a data hub that lets users create and share segments across all marketing tools. Users can organize data from multiple sources (the web, email, mobile, social, support, point of sales, etc.) to paint a 360-degree view of their customers. With Lytics and Optimizely, users can build highly-targeted segments for their Optimizely experiments and personalization campaigns.
The Clymb's members have varying interests and with 10-20 new sales offered each day, it can be a challenge to get the right deal in front of the right audience. Using their 360* view of the customer, The Clymb saw a huge opportunity to serve up the most relevant sales to their members in order to drive more purchases.
Understanding each shopper's past purchases, email opens, social media engagement, app sessions, and more helped the team gain a strong understanding of their customers' behaviors and interests.
The Clymb had seen a great deal of success with cart recommendations (offering members additional, related items during the checkout process) in the past, so they hypothesized that users would be receptive to the same concept, taken one step further – targeting members based on past purchases, email clicks, social engagement, and more. They opted to test this theory out by personalizing site merchandising for shoppers interested in Oakley products.
The Clymb built a test to measure whether more personalized merchandising for shoppers (in this case, those interested in Oakley products) would have an impact on total sales. They used Optimizely to power the test and used Lytics to build behavior-driven segments of users interested in Oakley products.
The Oakley segment included users who had viewed or purchased Oakley products on their website or mobile app, as well as those who had self-declared "lifestyle apparel" interests during the sign-up process. This segment saw a homescreen that prominently featured an Oakley sale.
All other users to the site saw a standard view of the member homescreen.
When the results came in, it was clear: showing users a more personalized increased the likelihood of them making a purchase. Users bucketed into the personalized Oakley segment made 12% more purchases than users in the standard view.
Showing the right message to the right users has had a tremendous business impact for The Clymb, as personalized offerings – like the Oakley example – have increased sales across the board. As customers engage with The Clymb across many different channels, they are able to collect that data and understand each user's complete brand experience, and then leverage that information to deliver more relevant content. These personalized experiences have increased the number of purchases, amount of engagement, and total lifetime value of users subscribed to The Clymb.

Residents Say School Traded Jesus for Frosty the Snowman
Chuck Anderson is mad.
"They're taking the Christ out of Christmas," he told Fox News. "And it's time for Christians to take a stand."
The flashpoint in this Christmas controversy is the tiny town of Cottondale, located in the Florida panhandle.
For the past 30 years, a Nativity scene has been erected on the front lawn of Cottondale Elementary School. But now the annual holiday tradition has been abandoned – over fears that the Baby Jesus might somehow violate the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Principal Brenda Jones told television station WJHG the decision to keep Baby Jesus in the closet came after an official with the Dept. of Education dropped by to discuss the separation of church and state.
"The Dept. of Education came in and talked to us about the legalities of religion in the school systems and the separation of the two," Jones told the television station.
In an attempt to be fair to everyone, the principal said, "We decided that we would just not put the Nativity scene out on campus."
Officials with the Jackson County School Board did not return calls seeking comment.
But former board member Betty Duffee told the Jackson County Floridan that she believes the principal had no choice.
"There are people in the community that are threatening to sue the school board (over separation of church and state issues), and it costs a tremendous amount of money to defend something you know you will lose," she said.
"It's not that we're against it; it's just that the federal law prohibits it," she said.
Residents like Chuck Anderson are fuming over the decision – accusing the school system of trading Christ for Frosty.
"You'll see Frosty the Snowman but you will not see anything related to Christ," he said. "School employees are not allowed to say Merry Christmas. They're not allowed to display anything that relates to Christ or religion in Christmas."

The 7pm show is sold out. But there's still tickets available for the 915pm show. The filmmakers will be there, along with special guests!

NotBuyingIt!on #
Thank you for posting this. I went to see the show at 9:15. It was a very good move making this film. Though, it was not my cup of tea-I'd hoped that it was a documentary. But, I understood that this sort of thing may appeal more to the teens and twenty-somethings. Most regrettable is the fact that this would never get box office play, because there would be riots all across the country by right-winged, meat gorging extremists (in other words: a great deal of our society). Nonetheless, a very BOLD attempt! Thanks for the film and keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!

TORONTO – Kei Nishikori has withdrawn from next week's ATP Toronto Masters event with an infected toe, the tour announced Sunday.
Nishikori, 11th in the world rankings, lost to France's 14th-ranked Richard Gasquet in the Citi Open quarterfinals on Friday.
Nishikori struggled at times in moving across the court against Gasquet, a U.S. Open semifinalist last year, but insisted after the match that there was no health problem.
"I'm fine," he said. "He just played well."
Nishikori, who was hoping for a strong hardcourt season in the run-up to the U.S. Open, must now look to the Cincinnati Masters tournament in two weeks in what figures to be his final warmup event before the year's final Grand Slam begins at Flushing Meadows on August 25.
Nishikori lost in the first round at last year's U.S. Open. Nishikori has won title in Memphis and Barcelona this season.

Restaurants, pharmacies, a furniture store, medical professionals, plumbers, an electrician, an auto repair shop, jewelers, funeral homes — they're all among the local businesses now participating in Indiana County's military veterans ID and discount program.
The number of businesses offering discounts to military vets has grown to about 55, nearly double those participating when the program was launched one year ago. As of this week, 821 vets are enrolled.
The Indiana County commissioners, the county's Veterans Affairs Office, the county's Recorder of Deeds office and the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce joined forces last April to create the photo ID and discount program. It was designed to bring recognition to more military veterans and to expand the number of businesses willing to help vets save money.
Registering for the free photo ID and discounts takes about 10 minutes.
First, a veteran takes his or her DD 214 — a Department of Defense form documenting separation from military service — to the Veterans Affairs office in the Indiana County Court House, or have the VA office staff verify electronically that the form is already on file in the Recorder of Deeds office in the courthouse.
A brief application is then completed that the vet carries to the recorder office. There the vet's photo is taken and applied to an ID card that certifies the holder is an honorably discharged military veteran.
If the veteran has lost his or her original DD 214 and it was never recorded at the courthouse, the veterans affairs staff can help the vet apply for a duplicate.
The list of participating businesses is posted on the Indiana County website at www.countyofindiana.org and at VFW and American Legion posts.
Merchants and business owners who want to join those offering discounts may contact Brenda Stormer, the county's veterans affairs director, at (724) 465-3815.
