Revision history for Image-WordCloud
0.02_05 2012.03.23
* Fixed strings with unicode (accented) characters being split improperly
(reported by sukria) [issue #1]
* Releasing all the other queued up changes in master branch. There will
still probably be problems with words not displaying properly or being
outside of the playing field. This will (hopefully) be fixed in the
0.04 release.
* _max_font_size() was returning sizes that were too small. It now returns
a size that will scale properly in cloud()
* 'font_path' option is now set for GD::Text objects at startup, this means
that methods using fonts outside of cloud() should work properly. They
WERE defaulting to the core libgd (awful) fonts.
* Added a 'border_padding' option to new() that takes either a number in
pixels or a percentage.
* Fonts now scale properly according to the aspect ratio we have to fill,
but because of how we're placing words some still get left outside the
image bounds. This should be less noticeable when using the
'border_padding' option.
* Images are now TrueColor, and not palette-based.
0.02_01 2012.02.02
* Long words were overrunning the image bounds. Added _max_font_size() which
tries the longest word in each font, scaling the font size down until it
will fit width the image's width. (Eventually this will need to be changed
to handle vertical words)
* Long FIRST words were overrunning the image bounds too. The first (largest)
word was not being checked to make sure its placement fit within the image.
* Added tests so every method is covered. Added more tests for coverage.

It is a work of art by one of the world's most feted artists, the Turner prize-winning Douglas Gordon.
It is made from solid gold, has an insurance value of about £500,000 ($770,000), and has been stolen while in the care of Christie's, one of the most respected auction houses in the world.
The artist fears it may have been taken for the scrap value of its metal, which he estimates to be around £250,000.
"I don't think this is an art theft," Gordon said. "I'm pretty sure it has been melted down." Gordon, who won the Turner prize in 1999 and whose art is owned by museums including the Tate and New York's Museum of Modern Art, is angry at the behaviour of the auction house.
He said Christie's had only told him about the disappearance of the sculpture after he had spoken about the theft elsewhere. Gordon, who owns the work, said: "It is like someone borrowing your car, and then you finding out from a neighbour that it has been crashed. It looks like I am the last person in the chain to know."
Gordon said he had first heard of the theft second-hand, from a curator last week; a Christie's representative contacted him on the morning of November 29, 16 days after the crime was reported to the police.

Has Computer Typing Changed Standards For Spelling?
English/Social Science
Elementary School/Middle School/High School
Difficulty of Project
Less than $1
Safety Issues
Material Availability
Easily available from your home or local drugstore.
Approximate Time Required to Complete the Project
At least a day.
- To determine whether spelling is linked to one's primary method of writing.
- To test whether the presence of spell check has changed standards for spelling.
- A computer with Notepad (or some other program without a spellchecker)
- Paper, Pencils
Most people remember the weekly spelling tests they had to take in elementary school.But as people grow up, most of their writing is done on a computer.In the case of complicated vocabulary words, some people may have only typed them on a computer, and never physically written them out.Are people who type able to spell better while typing?Has spell check changed the value of being a good speller?
Research Questions
- Does method of writing influence the accuracy of spelling?
- Are people who type more likely to misspell words that are autocorrected by spell check?
- Are people who type more likely to misspell convoluted words that they have only recently learned?
Terms, Concepts and Questions to Start Background Research
- What words does Microsoft Spell Check tend to autocorrect?
- What words are most commonly misspelled (by adults and by children)?
- What are the differences between learning to spell on a computer and learning to spell by hand?
Experimental Procedure
- Find a group of participants who are interested in taking part in this study.Make sure the group is divided equally between participants who primarily type on a computer, and participants who primarily hand-write.
- Create two spelling lists of words.Both will contain the following sets of words: a. Words that are commonly auto-corrected by Microsoft Spell Check b. Words that are difficult for most spellers c. Words that one would tend to learn later in life.
- Test each participant by making him/her take a spelling test, by hand.
- Check for accuracy.Don't bother checking for time, as there are too many other variables involved.
- Test each participant again by giving him/her the second spelling test, this time on a computer.
- Make sure to use a program without spell check, such as Notepad.
- Once again, check for accuracy (not time).

Though the flowers are small, the contrast between their vivid coloring and the purple or wine-colored bracts is very effective.

The government is to spend £1 million of your money on TV ads to promote its own Directgov website. Surely the whole point of this internet thingy is that it doesn't require large, corporatist ad budgets like that?
Not so, says Directgov's (taxpayer funded) head of communications. In fact, he tells us, "Directgov will save the government £400m over three years. Therefore this is an investment". So there. You've been told. By an official.
There's one thing politicians need to understand about the web; it doesn't need politicians to make it happen.
If, for instance, one was looking for ways to harness the wisdom of crowds to formulate policy, take a look at what's already there.
Log onto http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Great_Repeal_Bill, for example. See? No government money involved.
The web architecture already exists for wiki-politics. It's the bit in SW1 that's holding things back. Politicians should concentrate on making Westminster properly responsive in order to allow wiki-politics to happen, not on web design.
Yoosk.com is running an online poll to find "Britain's best MP". Ludicrously, they've short listed Lib Dems, three Labour, and then myself - the token Tory.
See the short list at www.yoosk.com. Only some sort of warped Guardianista would think it a fair and proportional sample of our legislators.
That aside, should one really be encouraging readers of this blog to vote for me? In 2009, I'm not sure "best MP" is an accolade one should aspire to.
What counts is how my constituents vote in 2010. Not how everyone else might vote on www.Yoosk.com in the last week of 2009.
See what happens when government tries to avert global warming by encouraging big corporations to farm triffids?
Still, at least in the BBC re-interpretation of John Wyndham's classic novel, they weren't so daft as to manufacture sulphur dioxide and pump it into the upper atmosphere. Which is what some climate "experts" are now advocating....
It used to be the case that elected law makers made the law, judges interpreted it, and public prosecutors brought charges on the basis of it.
We've seen how judges increasingly like to interpret what they think the law ought to be, rather than what it is. They do so citing all manner of texts and charters, rather than primary law made by people you voted for.
Now it seems the chief public prosecutor, Keir Starmer, isn't content to leave law making to elected legislators either. He's announced his opposition to changing the law in favour of home owners protecting their property from burglars.
The law regarding intruders "works very well", he pronounced on Radio 4. Why? Well, he continued, CPS officials very often did not bring prosecutions where a householder had used force because it was judged that no jury would consider it unreasonable.
Ponder that carefully. In other words, CPS officials seem to be determining guilt or innocence without cases coming to trial. Isn't it for juries to make that call?
Surely, whatever you think about the rights of homeowners, it is for Parliament to determine the law, and juries to determine guilt, not for Mr Starmer and co? Perhaps if the CPS wasn't second guessing juries, we'd see for ourselves that the law is unsatisfactory, and demand change.
The last century saw a steady erosion of many of the democratic checks and balances that under pinned our justice system; grand juries abolished, trial juries curtailed or scrapped in certain instances (thin end wedge?), quango control over local constabularies, elitist judicial activism.
Perhaps this century requires a counter revolution to make the justice system answer to ordinary law abiding people like it used to? How about elected public prosecutors? It seems to work elsewhere.
Traditionally, when a governing party loses support, the principal opposition party has tended to win popularity by an almost identical margin. This pendulum effect meant that Labour's loss was the Conservative's gain - and vice versa.
Numerous bemused commentators think as if the pendulum ought still to exist. Many politicians act as though its see-saw effect remained with us.
At the 2005 election, most of Labour's lost votes didn't go to the Conservatives at all. In 2010, making certain that Labour unpopularity translates into Conservative support means not just giving people positive reasons to back us. Nor is it enough to say what we'd like to do. We need to give folk some indication as to how we'll actually be doing it.
In this age of anti-politics, the tactics of triangulation increasingly won't work. Too-clever-by-half positioning leaves voters cold. Never assume that just because a voter loathes the other lot, they've no where to go but to you.
So what'll be the magic glue needed to bind together that broad, election winning coalition? Authenticity.
Apparently Ed Balls is back in favour with 10 Downing Street, but Peter Mandelson isn't. Or have I got that the wrong way round?
May be it is Harriet Harman that's on the up, and Douglas Alexander that's on the way down?
Who cares.
Being elevated by Gordon Brown in 2010 is going to be a bit like winning a promotion on the Titanic.
Forget talk of deflation. In 12 months time, the pound in your pocket will buy you less than it does today.
Why? Inflation is caused by too much money chasing too few goods and services. And government has been conjuring up lots and lots more money.
Every time they magic into existence another squillion quid (bank bail outs and quantitative easing et al), the quids that belong to you are worth less than they were.
Government spokesmen will act hurt and surprised as inflation erodes you wealth. But remember; conjuring up more money is how government, free from legislative accountability, always inflates away its debts and redistributes wealth from you to them.
Merry Christmas to all my readers. Best wishes to you and your families.
Blogging will be light today, as I've brussel sprout duties to attend to. (Also, I've not worked out how to okay comments from where I am, so apologies for the slight delay in them appearing!)
I went to Paddy Ridsdale's funeral at St Mary The Boltons yesterday.
For almost four decades, Harwich returned her husband, Sir Julian Ridsdale, as our local MP. They were very much a political double act, Dame Paddy doing so much of the constituency case work. It's a measure of quite how effective she was that almost two decades later, constituents still talk fondly of what she did to help them.
Margaret Thatcher, who Sir Julian did so much to support, was there too.
As we sang "The day thou gavest", I reflected on the fact that Sir Julian and Paddy together won ten General Elections in this constituency in a row. While I won by a mere 920 votes in 2005, Sir Julian bequeathed a majority of 15,000 when he stood down in 1992.
The thought put me in my place. I hope to be as good a constituency MP as Sir Julian and Paddy were.
Me? I explain that I'm in politics to make sure that there's less of it. Get politicians off people's backs - and out of their wallets.
Too many politicians are in politics to run / supervise / regulate / oversee things for us. (When did we ask them?) Stop the quango state running folks lives. Let people run things for themselves, or locally in their communities.
Imagine if politicians ran supermarkets? There'd be catchment areas for breakfast cereals and waiting lists for bananas. Like they run education, in fact.
Have a listen, decide which answers you like best, then vote here.

New officers, equipment and programs will be showing up in the coming year at the police department.
Three patrol officers were hired late in 1998, replacing two officers who had resigned and one who retired. Two of the officers are just completing training and will be on the road soon and the third is still in training, Police Chief Steve Thornton said.
Also, two more officers will be hired this year -- one to fill another vacancy and an additional officer to be partially funded with federal grant money, Thornton said.
Grant money is fueling three additional projects this year. A $20,000 grant for traffic and alcohol enforcement will purchase new radar guns and pay officers' overtime when targeting driving under the influence and speeding areas in the city.
Some of the money will also be used to target underage alcohol selling and buying. Last year, the department ran two undercover programs, one placing officers undercover in stores and one using an underage person attempting to buy alcohol. Those programs will continue, Thornton said.
The department is applying now for a $10,000 grant that will help increase community policing activities. The money will allow increased foot and bicycle patrol in retail districts.
"You'll see officers all over at some point -- downtown, the north end, Portage Square -- just about any special area we think needs it," Thornton said.
In conjunction with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies in the county, the department also received money for updated computer technology. Laptop computers will be installed in the cruisers, allowing instant criminal and traffic background checks.
The department will also be sporting some new wheels this year. The department traded in its Mustang for a Ranger pickup truck. The DARE vehicle is donated by Mathews Ford.
"We wanted something that we could get more uses out of. Many times, we have a need to haul things like recovered stolen merchandise. Sometimes it's a bike, a go-cart, a safe. That just doesn't work well in the trunk of a cruiser," Thornton said.
Also slotted to take the road is a four-wheel drive, sports utility vehicle. "We really need a vehicle like this, as this past winter showed us. Our cruisers were in just as much trouble as everyone else on the roads," Thornton said.
Already thinking beyond 1999, Thornton said the department is adding a second canine unit in 2000. "In the budget for 2000 is another unit, an officer, dog, training and car," Thornton said.
The program has completed its first full year in 1998 and proved very successful as a drug-fighting and public relations tool, Thornton said.
The unit has given demonstrations at community events in the past year. However, it is primarily used to assist other officers in cases where the dog can help, such as searches of houses in domestic situations or cars during a traffic stop, Thornton said.
The canine unit has also assisted in drug sweeps at Wooster High School, Edgewood Middle School, LuK Inc. and Gerstenslager Co. Drugs or other illegal paraphernalia were found in 90 percent of the search situations, Thornton said.
"We're actively working with anyone who asks. This is about prevention," Thornton said.

I must say what a wonderful time I had in this country. If well people are so different it is only to be expected, they are Swedish. After knowing so many people and their different conceptions and expressions of the same country I noticed something: everyone lived a different thing, almost like if they were in a completely different country.
I was impressed of how, after a year, so many other foreign students would not know the names of the streets, or what tram to take from one place to the other. Some of them never heard about Swedish food or ever heard a Swedish song on the radio. Yet, they all seamed very convinced of what the country and their people was like.
I believe that the biggest lesson I take with me is this: we all live in bubbles. Small bubbles that let us only perceive a part of the world that surrounds us. It is only when we realize that we live in a bubble that we can try to expand it and then include some more of that infinite world around us in our perception.
Swedes are very different from me, but the more I break my bubble to include their point of view in my perception, the more I understand them.


text: Storytelling is the foundation of any good novel and I think it's actually a very rare talent. Plenty of writers get by on killer premises and witty style. But effective storytelling is all about structure. It's very mechanical, almost architectural. When you can marry that structure to a framework of ideas, then the novel can transcend pure entertainment. The trick, in my opinion, is to weave these ideas invisibly into the story so that they are discovered, unraveled by the reader. My goal is to seduce my reader into a compelling narrative that whittles away at some preconceived idea and leaves them with an uncomfortable but somehow intriguing gap in their sense of the world. I want them to close the book and have a head full of questions. I'm not interested in merely diverting them for a while or helping them fall asleep. Nor do I want that from the books I read. I want to be unsettled, challenged. I want to close a book and say "I never thought of that before."Link (Thanks, Matthew!)

BELTON — A Bell County jury handed down a 50-year prison sentence to a man convicted of sexual assaulting a 7-year-old girl in 2003.
The jury deliberated for about 50 minuets before handing down the sentence to Angel Luis Martinez, 35, of Puerto Rico, on Wednesday.
Martinez was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old, a first-degree felony, by the same jury Tuesday.
During the trial, jurors heard from several witnesses, including the victim — now 17 — who told them Martinez placed a pillow over her head as he sexually assaulted her in her bed.
Jurors also heard testimony from the victim's mother, as well as medical professionals and the Killeen police detective in charge of the investigation, which occurred after the victim reported the rape in April 2012.
Speaking Wednesday, Bell County Assistant District Attorney Michael Waldman said Martinez will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 25 years of his sentence.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - In a highly criticized move, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is due to meet with Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal in Damascus on Friday. That meeting comes one day after Carter met with Gaza-based Hamas officials in Cairo. He spent about three hours talking to them.
Carter, who says he in on a private peace mission in the Middle East, blasted Israel's closure of the Gaza Strip after meeting the Hamas officials, who had traveled to Cairo after Israel apparently refused to let Carter cross into the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are being "starved to death" and are consuming fewer calories a day than those living in the poorest parts of Africa, Carter charged during an address at the American University in Cairo.
"It's an atrocity what is being perpetrated as punishment on the people of Gaza. It's a crime...I think it is an abomination that this continues to go on," he said after meeting with Gaza-based Hamas leaders who traveled to Cairo.
Humanitarian aid organizations have strongly criticized Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.
But the United Nations Relief Works Agency, which handles affairs for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees living in the Gaza Strip, confirmed to Cybercast News Service on Friday that UNRWA is not using the word "starvation" to describe the situation there.
Humanitarian aid trucks are crossing into the Gaza Strip almost every day, bringing basic food and medical supplies, the army said. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has pledged that he will not allow a humanitarian crisis to develop in the Gaza Strip.
Israel sealed off the area after Hamas seized power in a coup, ousting forces loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in June. Israel further tightened its control over the border earlier this year in an attempt to stop rocket fire against Israeli communities.
Carter said he had asked Hamas to stop firing rockets at southern Israel.
By midday Friday, eight rockets and mortars had been launched at Israel since midnight, the army said.
Carter defended his talks with Hamas officials by saying that Hamas must be involved in any Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.
According to its ideology, Hamas is not interested in peace with Israel but wants to establish an Islamic Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and all of Israel.
Carter angered many in Israel by meeting with Hamas leaders, prompting Olmert and other senior ministers to avoid meeting with him. But Carter says there are "some officials in the Israeli government who are quite willing to meet with Hamas."
On Friday, the Israeli website YNET reported that Industry and Trade Minister Eli Yishai, who heads the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, was willing to meet Hamas officials to discuss the release of prisoners only - not to discuss political or other issues.
Friday's talks with Mashaal in Damascus are expected to focus on Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was abducted in a cross border attack in which Hamas participated in the summer of 2005.
Carter's meetings with Hamas officials only legitimize Hamas and weaken Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas [Abu Mazen], said veteran Israeli journalist Roni Shaked from the Hebrew daily Yediot Aharonot.
"He's going to make Abu Mazen and democracy -- the hope of the Palestinians -- very, very weak," said Shaked in a radio interview. It will pave the way for officials from other countries to meet with Hamas, he said.

Contrary to earlier reports, Adam Lambert denies he is mad about "Twilight", collecting multiple copies of its DVD, and reciting lines from the film.
Reports of him becoming a huge fan of "Twilight" that then leads him to collect multiple copies of its DVD have been surfacing for weeks, but Adam Lambert has just poured cold water on the story. In a short message on his Twitter account, he wrote, "more rumor mill control: i dont own even one dvd copy of twilight. i dont recite lines from the film. i liked the book better."
Earlier this month, Star Magazine ran a story claiming the runner-up of "American Idol" season 8 was the die-hard fan of the hit vampire drama movie. The publication cited Adam's friend as confirming, he "owns multiple copies of the Twilight DVD. He keeps one at home, one with his laptop, and one at his parents' house." The unnamed source also claimed, "Adam and his boyfriend Drake LaBry, were overheard reciting lines from the film to each other while vacationing at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara."
Adam himself has previously made public his love for "Twilight" during his time on "American Idol." Greater than that, he was snapped licking "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke's neck as if he was a vampire when meeting her at Hollywood Life's 11th Annual Young Hollywood Awards which was held at The Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica recently.

Before settlers found their way to these parts, Indians migrated up and down the river valley feeding off the river and land. Living a rhythmic coexistence with nature. As the Dutch, Irish, Germans and other nationalities made their way out of the city to find work and an environment similar to their homeland they looked to the land to earn a living. Cutting timber from the vast forest lands and trapping game for their furs for trade were the first of many occupations that grew out of the development of the region. The cut timber was formed into large rafts and floated down the Delaware to markets near Philadelphia. Narrowsburg, as was Port Jervis a convenient stop-over for the raftsmen and soon boasted several large hotels to accommodate them.
As the lands became cleared and improved agriculture began to arise. Dairy and egg farms were created up and down the Delaware River Highlands.
As the need for fuel in the cities grew the demand for coal from Pennsylvania increased. The D&H Canal was developed to transport the coal from Honesdale, PA using the Lackawaxen River, down the Delaware River canal system as in continued on to metropolitan areas. Since the timber industry was still using the River to float lumber downstream. A conflict arose where rivers intersected causing a bottleneck effect. From such event Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct and four additional water aqueducts were built to transport the canal boats.
Development and settlement continued with the building of the Erie Railroad in the late 1830s to mid 1840s. This construction coincided with the Potato Famine and political unrest in the German States, both of which provided a large workforce of many immigrants who were looking to settle and start a new life. Regular rail service was established in 1848, and the river became less important as a mode of transportation and to commerce. The more affluent people from New York and Philadelphia began to by up land and build summer estates, creating a need for supporting services. Later, the area began to be discovered by different economic levels as the train became more frequent between the metropolitan New York area and resorts and boarding houses flourished.
Ground transportation to the area began to boost in 1939 when State Rout 3A was completed from Port Jervis to Hancock. Renumbered as State Route 97, this now designated Scenic Byway serves as a major North-South thoroughfare from business and recreation alike.
Seasonal sportsmen still flock to the area for fishing and hunting. The Delaware River is still used for rafting, although now for fun and frolic. The railroad, now over 150 years in operation, still runs daily over the original track bed laid in place by our immigrant forebears, and modest businesses meet the needs of the towns.

ONE of the biggest beneficiaries of the price on carbon, Hydro Tasmania, has dramatically scaled back its ambitions. This follows the federal government's decision to pave the way for the local carbon market to be integrated with Europe's, while cutting the floor price.
This has put it under greater pressure to carve out a large presence in the national electricity market as it seeks to expand beyond its home base.
The national electricity market is steadily moving towards a structure similar to banking, aviation and retail - a couple of dominant players and a rump of small operators fighting over the balance.
Last year, AGL bought the Loy Yang A power station and is a keen bidder for a big part of the New South Wales government's generation assets that are up for sale. If it succeeds, this will leave energy retailing and generation dominated by Origin Energy, EnergyAustralia (the former TRUenergy) and AGL.
Smaller groups such as Hydro Tasmania, which has about 5 per cent of the national electricity market, will be increasingly exposed to the market power of the bigger companies.
To protect its position, Hydro Tasmania bought retailer Momentum Energy a few years ago for more than $40 million. Other generators such as ERM are also pushing to expand sales.
Momentum generated revenue of more than $500 million in the year to June. This is expected to rise by as much as 50 per cent this financial year, as the company attempts to lift annual revenue to $1 billion by 2014-15.
Mainland sales already make up half of Hydro Tasmania's revenue, helped by Momentum, as well as sales into the national market via the undersea Basslink cable.
The government's carbon pricing decision put Hydro Tasmania in the strongest position of any generator nationally, giving it an immediate lift in wholesale prices while - unlike all other generators, barring Snowy Hydro - it does not have to pay a carbon tax.

The Winner
A BURNNIE Book
by Steve Treague
About the Book
About the Creator
The BURNNIE Show, one rabbit puppet and a live cast, is a children's television series about BURNNIE T. Bunnie, magic shop employee, learning a new character building lesson each episode through hare-larious adventures. Kids will fall in love with puppet and magic shop worker BURNNIE as he humorously navigates growing up in Christ. Each episode is "lightly seasoned" with a faith based message. The faith based inclusion is interdenominational using a Bible verse as the basis of the character building message. Episodes progress from the TREGGLLUSIONS Magic Shop, to the Christy Creams Ice Cream Parlor, and to a variety of interesting locations filmed at businesses, museums, attractions, etc. throughout the U.S. as the story line indicates.

Ghada Abed Al Razaq doesn't mind being compared to Nadia Al Jundi
The Egyptian actress Ghada Abed Al Razaq stated that she is not afraid of being compared to the famous Egyptian actress Nadia Al Jundi for playing the same role in the Ramadan Egyptian drama series "Al Batinyah" that Al Jundi already performed in a cinema film which also was called "Al Batinyeh".
Ghada said that the personality that she had performed was done in her own style. She added that she respects Al Jundi and her fame when she starred in the cinema film, yet she doesn't mind being compared to her. She said that she has her own different style and looks different than Al Jundi and the viewers will know the difference when they see her performance.
The television drama series "Al Batinyeh" stars famous Egyptian actor Salah Al Sa'dani, Ahmad Folkis, Lucy and Reem Al Baroudi. The series is written by Mustafa Muharam and directed by Muhammad Al Naqli. "Al Batinyeh" is about drug dealing and selling and the effects it has on young generations who take them.

Would You Switch Phone Carriers If Text Message Fees Increased?
I hardly ever pay attention when my cell phone carrier increases the fee for sending text messages—Five cents, ten cents, it usually all looks the same.
However, I'm finally starting to take notice because more and more phone carriers are hiking up their prices. According to CNN Money, T-Mobile has already increased their rates from 10 cents to 15 cents, and Sprint started charging 20 cents per message in October.
Verizon is the most recent carrier to join the group, as they will raise the price of text messages by five cents starting March 2nd.
Considering text messaging is said to account for about forty-five percent of all data revenue, it's no surprise that carrier companies are attempting to cash-in on the millions of texts sent each year. How do you feel about this? Would you switch phone carriers if they raised the fees?

Magician - Poem by bradley cox
I was the magician they said i could win now i am looking at ten.
I did my bit the fuzz open my cage and i ran like hell.
Outta site! outta mind!
I stopped and got some cigs,
hit the bar for a drink.
I looked up and their she was Joanna
hot as a fire cracker.
I bought her a drink and we talked,
Joanna ask me if she could bang
for roof.
Hell yeah I was feeling lucky.
She ask if she could try something new?
She tie me up and rocked my world.
Joanna got up got dressed grabbed all
my money.
I said what the Hell? she said you can't
always get what you want, but
the maid will call the police and you'll
be..................................... ................................................. ....

The need to use all parts of slaughtered animals, reserving the less expensive cuts for their own consumption, has developed over time a variety of different preparations and imaginative, able to ennoble the poor ingredients, that farmers themselves or the local butcher perform with great skill. Deserve a special mention certain breeds, such as pig and sheep laticauda Caserta, kept in restricted areas, which are perfectly acclimatized.
The high quality of the meat, which are intense but delicate flavor, is the result of the extensive system of farming and food products based on natural pasture. Both races, after a long period of decline that has marked almost its disappearance in favor of races more adaptable to the criteria of factory farming, but of less value, have been rediscovered by some farmers today, with passion and competence, offer a few "lucky consumer a high quality product.
The traditional hog farming, linked to rituals associated with the annual cycle of seasons and vegetation, concentrated slaughter in a particular period of the year, coinciding with the Carnival celebrations followed the slaughter and abundant libations.
The necessity to preserve the meat and use it completely in the absence of modern refrigeration methods, has developed a real culture, that of salami. Each area produces a great variety, for the various cuts used and the different modes of manufacture. The finest cuts (rear thigh) are used for hams and soppressata, but also used the rind, offal and scraps for making sausages that establish the basis for the sauce flavor Sunday.
The meats are kept in cellars, sometimes after a period of natural smoke, the kitchen ceiling, or in lard, in glazed clay pots. This process ensures the softness and freshness of the meat, preventing oxidation and browning without increasing the fat content, for the proofing of lard used natural gut.

Q & A⌃ Back to top
Product Questions:
We have a rubber membrane on a flat roof and this product sounds terrific The weight of the 2.25 inch tile may be too heavy for the roof and wondering if you would have a thinner product? Linda Bengson
Could these be used as driveway pavers?
Would these tiles be suitable as a base for an outdoor basketball court? Would you recommend placing them over concrete or compacted dirt?
I am hoping to place this product on top of an existing wood deck - can you tell me how this product performs over that type of surface? Will it cause any harm to the wood (especially with rain or snow conditions)? Thanks!
I have a flat rubber roof. do these roof tiles have to be glued down or will the interlock be enough to hold them in place
We are looking at these for an Early Childhood Play ground in our fall zones. What needs to be underneath? Can it be a dirt foundation, or must concrete be poured?

1. Surround yourself with good people:
When George W. Bush ran for the Presidency in 2000, the biggest worry in many voters� minds was whether this one-term governor of Texas who, much like Arnold, was not a gifted public speaker could handle the job. Bush countered this by surrounding himself with the most experienced people possible; he selected Dick Cheney to be his running mate and hinted that Colin Powell had a spot reserved in the cabinet-to-be. Schwarzenegger did much the same thing during his campaign, appointing former Gov. Pete Wilson, a moderate Republican who handled California�s last fiscal crisis in the early 90s, to be his campaign chairman. He also hired several of Wilson�s former staffers to run his operation. Now that he�s won the job, it seems likely that he�ll bring many former Wilsonians to Sacramento with him a smart move, because they already have relationships with legislators and bureaucrats there the people Schwarzenegger spent his campaign bashing. One potential drawback: people might suspect Schwarzenegger is a figurehead with all these more experienced hands around him something some Democrats still whisper about Bush so the Terminator needs to occasionally remind people who�s in charge.
2. Learn the fine art of compromise.
Schwarzenegger did not pick an easy time to take office. The state government handled its $38 billion deficit in the fiscal 2004 budget largely with loans and fiscal shell games. Almost 60% of the budget gap was closed with borrowing, accounting changes and other one time fixes, according to the California Budget Project. Schwarzenegger needs to deliver a budget proposal for fiscal �05 to the legislature by January 10th and it has to close an $8 billion hole shifted from the last go around. Some analysts are predicting the deficit will be closer to $10 billion as tax revenues continue to drop with the economy.
Schwarzenegger has made his job more difficult by making three popular pledges: he�ll repeal the recent increase of the car tax, he won�t raise taxes and he won�t cut education spending. The car tax repeal alone will widen the budget gap by $4 billion. But Arnold shrewdly avoided revealing any other details of his plan to fix the budget, arguing he first needs to audit the entire government. While that wasn�t fair to voters and in exit polls two-thirds griped that he hadn�t given them enough information they voted for him anyway, and now he can go to the legislature with some flexibility to negotiate.
He�ll need it. Democrats have a solid majority in both chambers of roughly 60%, and a two-thirds majority is needed to pass any budget. Schwarzenegger claims he can solve the deficit by cutting wasteful spending but in reality, one politician�s wasteful spending is another�s valuable service to the people. Arnold is going to have to make some deals, keeping Republicans solidly behind him while luring half the Democrats over to a budget they can get behind. If he does this well, he can probably pass some version of the remainder of his priorities: renegotiating state employee contracts, workers� compensation reforms and streamlining school systems. But he can�t forget rule #3:
3. Don�t be afraid to knock some heads.
The day after the election, Schwarzenegger and Democratic Senate Majority Leader John Burton had a nice phone call about working together, but, Burton told reporters later, the senator told Schwarzenegger he can�t repeal the car tax without the legislature�s approval. At his press conference later in the day, Schwarzenegger replied, �We have a difference of opinion.� It will probably be the first of many with the legislature. Some Arnold will have to make compromises on, but sometimes he�ll have to draw the line. He is the Governor after all, and he can use the status of his office and his line item veto to get things done his way. The results of the recall help him too: 44% of Californians voted against the recall, but Arnold won 49% of the vote a solid mandate. Republicans may not trust him fully because he�s a moderate and most GOP legislators are conservative, but he won hands down in their districts, which gives them enough reason to stay on his good side. And Schwarzenegger won in most Democratic districts too, except for the Bay area, so Democrats can�t give him too hard a time either. �A lot of Democrats will not want him campaigning against them in their districts,� says Tony Quinn, a political analyst.
Arnold can�t throw his weight around too much. After all, in 1999 another moderate governor took office in California and got into trouble that way. Many people forget now, but Gray Davis was a moderate Democrat when he took office. He got a lot done his first two years by sticking to the center and making both Democrats and Republicans work for him. In late 2000 he remarked of Democratic legislators, �Their job is to implement my vision.� But Davis got into trouble when times turned tough first during the 2001 energy crisis and then during the budget mess and he had no allies to turn to. It was easy to get things done when he had a 50% approval rating. A few months ago, with his ratings in the 20% range, he had no capital with lawmakers. Does Arnold have the skills to do better? He better hope so he only has three years before he faces reelection, not to mention that it wouldn�t be hard for Democrats to get a new recall on the ballot if he should stumble. Here comes the hard part.


text: Late last year it was revealed that Apple purchased a 98-acre campus from Hewlett Packard, just up I-280 in Cupertino. Last night, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, in trademark black turtleneck and jeans, explained Apple's plans for the space to the Cupertino City Council. Here's what the new 4-story building holding 12,000 employees will look like when it's completed in 2015: As Steve describes it: The facility will be 80% landscaping, with most of the parking underground, compared to 20% landscaping with all above ground parking currently. The current campus has 3,700 trees and Apple plans to increase that to more than 6,000 trees, including "some apricot orchards." Apple also plans to build its own energy generation facility using natural gas, with the electricity grid as a backup. One of the city councilors asked what the citizens of Cupertino would get from the new campus, and in particular brought up a free Wi-Fi network, like Google offers in Mountain View. Steve responded that Apple was the largest taxpayer in Cupertino and he felt that the tax benefits to having a company like Apple in Cupertino was benefit enough and the city should be providing a service like that. "If we can get out of paying taxes, we would be glad to provide free Wi-Fi." Article Link: Steve Jobs Pitches Cupertino on Stunning New Apple Campus


text: food stamps will buy you vegatables if you want....<quoted text>People don't follow common sense, if they did, you would not see all the bs on politics. Common sense should be for man to eat natural. Eating soy and corn syrup is not eating natural. Eating meat from animals that are shot up with hormones and over fed with corn is not natural. Poor people are over weight because they can only afford Government approved junk food. Follow the money stupid. It's not about health. I have seen those nutrition experts that push the food pyramid. They look terrible.

There is a vaccine approved to prevent anthrax, but it is only recommended for routine use in certain groups of at-risk adults. If someone has symptoms of anthrax, its important to get medical care as quickly as possible to have the best chances of a full recovery.

Hi Donna, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I love my order!!! Exactly what I wanted!!! Conni Thank you. This is the easiest ordering process I have ever experienced. Vicky 10/24/2011 We just received the puppets and they are great. Thank you. Sheila 11/16/2011 Marionettes arrived in perfect condition and they are a kick. Thank you so much. One is with the young bass trombonist in a local HS Band who is making a 3/16 " plywood marionette with another student painting it. She needed an example to see the operation (strings/cross). The performance of Arban's Carnival of Venice for trumpet and band takes place 11/22 at noon in the school cafeteria. I'm looking forward to the students response to the visual of the marionette during the piece. In the meantime, I'm beginning the search for a simple script for my 5 grand kids, ages 3 - 14 to put on a show when they are all visiting from around the country Thanksgiving weekend. Those shows are always an exercise in patience but lots of fun and learning for the kids. As soon as I know the script, I'll make a cardboard stage (drop) to enhance. Thanks for your help and for making this possible. Fred 11/6/2011 Just to let you know I received today the finger puppets. They are very nice. Thank you. Best regards and a very happy new year!

Dear Donna,
I cannot tell you how much your email and phone call meant... you have a very well run business to be so conscientious about your customers needs.
I am so used to ordering online and having things shipped right away, that I didn't realize that might not be the case here. I apologize for not giving you more warning about our needs. If they do not arrive in time, I am sure she will enjoy just playing with them. If they do, I know it will be thanks to you, so let me tell you in advance how much I appreciate your help.
Warm regards,
LeeAnn C
Thank you so much for the wizards. They are going in my daughter's loot bags. They will be a hit!!!
My marionette is perfect. I have a 3 year old Godson (we call him Jay-Bob) who spends just about every weekend with me and my husband. At night I sing him to sleep with Hush Little Baby, only I sing Hush Little Jay-Bob. When I sing Mammys (that is what he calls me) gonna buy you a mocking bird, he thinks I am saying walking bird, so that is why I was soooo desperate to find him a walking bird! You all have helped me make our (Mammy, Pappy and Jay-Bob) Christmas the best so far! I cant wait until he sees his walking bird! Donna
Wanted to let you know the package from Puppetville was received today and though I am not allowed to see it (it is a Christmas gift from my wife) she states "It is perfect."

I couldnt resist!)

I know that we cannot leave feedback because I didn't go thru ebay to deal with you. But let me tell you, if this is the way you treat your customers, not only will I return to shop with you, but I will tell everybody I know about your impeccable service!! The 2 frog puppets I ordered are excellent. Much nicer than they were pictured. And the free puppet was a nice touch!!
Thanks so much, Donna! You have been absolutely terrific!
I received my order yesterday afternoon
I had to write and tell you how pleased I was! I couldn't help but break out into a smile when I pulled out the Circus Finger Puppets from the box.
They are adorable and of very good quality; very plush and soft and well made. I am so impressed with your wonderful service! Throwing in the extra bear, lion, and Sunny Finger puppet at no extra charge was a wonderful surprise---thank you!!!
I work in the medical field with cancer-stricken children, so to distract my patients with these puppets while they are having an MRI scan should work very nicely----thank you so very much for the great service, I sure do appreciate it!
You folks provide top-notch customer service and I will spread the word!
Sincerely, Lillian Bailey
Just to let you know that Lampchop has arrived and thank you ever so much for the free sunny puppet (my other daughter's happy now!).
Thank you for your brilliant service and for getting Lambchop here before Christmas.
Dear Donna,
Thank you again for your help in selecting the marvelous assortment of puppets. "Your gift is exquisite," was my my daughters comment. She told me that my grand-daughter opened the packages one by one and transported the entire set from room to room, as she went through the rest of her day. She went to sleep that night surrounded by the puppets.
Best regards,
helen goodfield
To the people of Puppetville.com,
I did some on-line comparison shopping and found Puppetville.com's prices reasonable, also, I liked the website. Anyway, I received the puppets in the mail today and saw that the package was quite small for the number and size (about 12"-13" with full body) of puppets I ordered. Upon opening the package, sure enough, all the puppets I ordered were inside: a king, a queen, a princess, and additionally, a wizard, a knight, and even the dragon. Yup, they all checked off on my checklist.
The puppets were purchased for my sons upcoming Knight-themed birthday party. I did an inspection of the Folkmanis puppets, and they are incredible. I really got chills from these puppets. The costumes are beautifully detailed and simply amazing. Big things do come in small packages!
I can't wait until my son's birthday to give them to him. What a change it would be for him (us) because he's been very much into Batman, Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Power Rangers, etc..
I'm pleased doing business with Puppetville.com, and I would definitley shop here again for my future puppet needs. Thank you Puppetville!!
Larraine C
Y'all are so wonderful there! Thanks for making sure the frogs arrived for the first day of school! Cade's 'Frog' class is going to love them. As always y'all are fabulous to work with! Thanks, again!
Just wanted to thank you for your quick and efficient service. We got the puppet today. That was quick! You're the only store that had exactly what we needed!

Hello Donna
I wanted to let you know that Leanne was thrilled with the puppet that she received for her birthday. The choice you made was terrific. The green haired fellow was odd enough for her to enjoy, yet cute enough to ensure her younger brother was not scared. That gift truly was the one thing that made her day very special. I video taped her reaction as she opened it up. Her reaction was priceless. Thanks again for your help!Steve Manning
Thank you so much - the "kids" arrived safe and sound and will be presented to the puppet class this Sunday. This was a wonderful transaction. I'll be back!
Rebecca Putnam

Just want to say a big Thanks! The puppets arrived in 2 days just like promised AND the puppets are exactly what I ordered and expected they are great! Everybody who was in the puppet show enjoyed them (and bonded with them too, I might add) and our puppet was big success!
Thank you for your terrific service and wonderful customer service!
Best regards,
Janice F.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. It's nice to know there are helpful people out there. Hopefully, I'll back some day to you with something you can use.
Hello! I just wanted to follow up and let you know that we did indeed receive the puppet in today's mail. Your phone call was prior to our delivery, so I was willing to wait until afterwards to see if it did indeed arrive. And, it did! Thank you so much for following up, and we are very pleased : ) My son was the purchaser, and he is thrilled to be able to use this in a puppet ministry just begun at our church : ) When we need another puppet, we'll be sure to check you first. Thank you and blessings,
Mrs. Julie L.
Thanks so much - you have great stuff. She and I will visit your site together after the Holidays! Thanks again, Dee

I called and your were so kind and ordered them for me. I just wanted

So with that I wanted thank you so much for your help.
Agian, Thanks so much.
Wow! I can't believe we won the puppet contest. Thanks for the great fox puppet. Cade will love it. I'm going to put it in his stocking! I'm also going to use it in my classroom. Thanks! Y'all are amazing. Happy Holidays! Tiffany
Thanks, Ive got them! Theyre bigger than I thought they would be which is better for the show we are putting on. We will recommend you as when you convert it from dollars it is half the price. We found one of your camel puppets for £50 at the cheapest! (About $70-80!!!)
Josh Ward
I received it today - the puppets are adorable and will be perfect for our "magic" party - thanks so much!!
Thank you, Donna.
I love using your puppets for my church shows. So far I seem to be popular. My style is alot like Christian Muppets would be. Anyway, thanks a bunch. I had several stolen and I needed replacements. These are puppets I haven't had before except for the donkey and maybe the rooster. I can't remember if I ordered that one in this bunch but I appreciate the quality you provide and the speed of your delivery and communications.
We ordered our first puppets last month and our Easter Sunrise Service was a big success. The kids had a great time and everyone loved it! Thanks so much for all your help in getting our bible puppets here on time. Now we are looking for some boy and girl puppets but we want them to be like the bible puppets, they look so much better than the ordinary puppets that have their mouth all the way across their head! I think maybe the puppets like the bible puppets are called sculpted, but I dont know for sure. Can you tell me what puppets you have that are comparable to the bible puppets?
Thanks, Lise B
I just received my puppets today (order # 165698) and I am so excited! I'm planning to use the puppets in my second grade class. I appreciate your low prices and your prompt service. I'm definitely going to tell my colleagues about you folks.
Thank you so much! Sincerely, DJ
Dear Puppetville, Thank you so very much for working with me. I'm going to put it in my 4-year-old classroom. They are going to love it. I especially like the puppets. I'm so pleased.
Sheila (a grateful customer)
Dear Donna,
Yes, my Daughter called and told me the Marrionette of Pinocchio did arrive...safely and secured well. She was overwhelmed by how beautiful it is and the fact you even included a Birthday card for my Grandson Nicholas...what a wonderful touch that is!! I will be down in Tennessee at the end of Sept...for a few days...she is anxious for me to see it. Nicholas's birthday is 9/9...we are anxious to see his reaction. Should this proove to be as well received as we believe ,I am planning on future orders.
Sincerely and gratefully yours.. Richard T.
I just received the order! Am just starting to look at each one, they are so cute! Thank you for your prompt delivery.
Lisa Z
Thank you for sending the opossum puppet quickly. It is just what I need! I am looking forward to using your services later this fall when I order items for my school libraries.
Beth K.
Hi. Just a note to let you know that the snail puppet found it's way to my home today. It's adorable!

Cheers, Meghan
Thanks again. Michelle
Thank you so much for your quick follow-up and for being so accommodating. Your customer service is superb. When our friends see the Parrot puppet, I know they will also want to buy for themselves. Based on my experience with you, I will be very happy to refer them to your site. -AS
Just want to say thanks verrrry much for your help in acquiring this chinchilla. I ordered it this a.m. and am sure it will be here on time. thanks again for all of your help!
Pat Schafer
Hi, Thanks for the quick delivery of your puppets. The music teacher is using them in her musical and had stands made for them. They look darling.
Janeen Easley
Thanks so much.
The puppets are exactly what we hoped for. They are very nice and we will use them a lot in classes. The two free ones you sent with the order were really great also. I am sorry I was so worried about the shipping...sometimes things get lost here in Korea. Everything is great!
From, Douglas, Choi
For Christmas I had got the dragon for my son he loved it won't go anywhere without it. I didn't see your dinosaur ones so it is now coming up on his birthday. Thanks for the wonderful job you do.
Thank you for the lightning fast shipping and 2 adorable puppets! Theyre even better than pictured.
Thank you for sending my order out so quickly. We got the puppets in time to wrap'em up and put them under the Christmas tree for my daughter. Hannah loves them and has already asked for more for her birthday in January.
I want to thank you for your prompt delivery of my order. Finger puppets: Eagle, Owl, and Chipmunk, plus a dog and frog puppet. The finger puppets are going to be sent to my 24 year son who is working for a non-profit group called Help Argentina. After graduating from Davidson College in NC last spring he wanted to make a difference and joined this young Foundation. The Foundation is networking and fundraising to help the people of Argentina out of there economic downturn. Jon has connected in his passionate way with a Ghetto Family in Buenos Aires who come into the city to respectfully beg for food. This family is poor but not without vision, love and caring. The family have two little girls, 4 and 2 and another baby on the way. The eagle and the owl will be there gifts from us, small enough to fit in their pockets and very symbolic for me. The eagle -lifts us all up where we belong, the owl is wise, calm and observant and appears to know all. The chipmunk is busy not worrying about tomorrow or the next moment...he trusts that his needs will be met, but does plan ahead. I wanted to let you know that these puppets will be very special for two little girls. You would not be in this business if you did not know how "puppets" heal and make us laugh. They are magic and if everyone played with them the world would be Healed!
Thanks again for making such charming puppets
.....Carol Teel from Nobleboro, Maine
No worries!
They arrived today (of course, since I wrote...
~ Erik :o)
Thanx! I'm so very excited. I'm currently using the Golden Retriever puppet I purchased from you and he's been getting rave reviews from my 4 and 5 year olds and from other adult Sunday School teachers, whom I have also referred to your website.
Jo Anne Britt
Beautiful puppets my father will love to work with them. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.
I found your site today, and I'm so excited about your beautiful products!!! I am a children's church director and am constantly on the look-out for new characters to add to my puppet menagerie.
I noticed that your prices are lower and I purchased that wonderful mouse and cat. I will definitly be coming back in the future.
Thankyou, Cassia Lupo
I think your site is really cool!
The puppets arrived today. They're great! Definitely worth the money! The animal puppets were a bit shorter than I expected, but it's no big deal. The community helper puppets were terrific! Very detailed in costumes & everything! Thanks so much! It's even sooner than I expected! :) I will definitely return to you if I need any more puppets in the future!
Happy Holidays! Agnes
We are already enjoying the puppets and the kids haven't even seen them yet. Merry Christmas.

Katharine Harris was born on May 18, 1904 on Twelfth Street in Oak Cliff. She graduated from Oak Cliff High School as valedictorian in 1921 and later graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in music in violin from Southern Methodist University. Katharine was very active in the music scene in Dallas. She taught violin at several Oak Cliff elementary schools, was active in Mu Phi Epsilon, Dallas Music Teachers' Association and the Elmer Scott Chamber Music series, forerunner of the Dallas Chamber Music Society. She also helped organize a local WPA orchestra offering free concerts at the Dallas Museum of Art. Ms. Harris married Dr. Penn Riddle in 1927, and during their marriage produced two daughters. Katharine Harris Riddle passed away December 10, 2005.
This collection consist of two main subjects, Katharine Harris' collection of World War One materials, with a specific focus on the Red Cross, and Ms. Harris' materials from her time spent at Oak Cliff High School in 1921. Her parents were very active in the Red Cross movement in Dallas. Her mother, Mrs. W.A.V. Harris, was an authorized member soliciting subscriptions and working in the Bureau of Canteen Services. As a young girl of 13 in 1917, her parent's active participation in relief efforts encouraged Katharine to collect a variety of materials relating to the First World War, from buttons, news clippings, to Red Cross pamphlets and publications. Many of these materials are described by Harris. Also included in the collection is a scrapbook of her senior year at Oak Cliff High in 1921, from which she would graduate as valedictorian.
