John David Martinez allegedly robs bank wearing shirt with his name on it
John David Martinez. More photos below.
Had we not already designated police-car swiper Dustin Guinn as our latest Schmuck of the Week earlier today, John David Martinez would seemingly have qualified. After all, he's accused of robbing a bank while wearing a shirt with his name on it.
But a closer look at the police report prepared for the case, seen below in its entirety, puts a sadder spin on the incident, as the 68-year-old Martinez appears to have been driven by financial desperation and eager to confess what he'd done.

At 9:04 a.m. on July 22, according to the aforementioned probable cause statement, a man later identified as Martinez entered the Wells Fargo branch located at 1777 West 38th Avenue.

"This is a robbery, give me the money," Martinez is quoted as telling a female bank employee. He then handed the teller a dark colored, zippered bag.
The teller put some bills into the bag before handing it to the staffer adjacent to her, who did the same. The second employee was about to pass the bag to a third when Martinez told her, "That's enough."
Within seconds, Martinez took the bag and split -- but tracking him down wasn't difficult. For one thing, he could be seen leaving in a silver 2001 Honda Accord registered to him and his wife. For another, he had been wearing a black, short-sleeve T-shirt with the name "John" on the chest area.
At around 2 p.m. that same day, the Honda was located in the parking lot of a Ramada Inn at 2601 Zuni, where Martinez and his wife were registered. Agents went to the room in question, found Martinez there and took him into custody on suspicion of felony robbery involving $20,000 or more.
The Ramada Inn where the Martinezes had been staying, as seen in a Google Maps image.
A rep of the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force was transporting Martinez when he received a call from a supervisor, who asked that he phone back without using the hands-free option. As he was attempting to do so, Martinez allegedly said, "He probably wants to tell you he found the money."
In response, the report says, the agent looked back at Martinez, who then added, "That I took from the bank this morning."
Martinez appears to have been similarly loquacious when he sat down with law enforcers for a formal interview. After waiving his right to remain silent, he's quoted as saying that he and his wife had been evicted from their home three weeks earlier. They'd moved into the Ramada around two-and-a-half weeks later -- and that morning, while his wife was still asleep, John had crept out of their room and robbed the bank. Upon his return, he told his wife he'd borrowed the money -- which, in a way, he had.
Granted, Martinez isn't a newcomer to crime: 7News reports that his record includes arrests for forgery, criminal impersonation, DUI hit and run, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon. But the manner of his confession, not to mention his choice of shirt and use of his own car, suggests that he's grown weary of the game.
Which is just as well, since he probably won't get a chance to play it again anytime soon. Here's a larger look at Martinez's booking photo, followed by the probable cause statement.

IndyCar News And Notes - April 1, 2014
1. Power surges into history books with St. Pete win: Will Power and Gordon Johncock now have something more in common than 20-plus Indy car victories.
On March 30, Power matched Johncock (1977-78) as the only drivers in the modern era (since 1946) to win the final two races of one season and the opener of the next.
Power backed up his efforts on the temporary course in Houston and the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway in October with a dominating victory in the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
It's a modest streak in sports, but taken in the context of the Verizon IndyCar Series' depth of competition it's nonetheless impressive. Power has also won four of the past six races, whereas registering four top-five finishes in the preceding 14 races.
"You definitely start to look pretty hard when you have a long period of not winning," said Power, who won for the second time at St. Petersburg. "You just can't get complacent. You've got to keep working hard, especially in this series. There's so many good teams, good drivers.
"You just reset, just realize that you can't leave anything on the table. I was speaking to Mark Webber at some point, 'Did you lose a little bit of motivation in your 30s?' He said to me, 'You can't kid yourself. You've got to work hard. It's just the way it is. If you're not, someone else is.'
"That's true. You got to get everything right in this business or you won't win."
Power won three consecutive races in 2012, and will aim be the 10th Indy car driver to make it four in a row April 13 in the 40th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Sebastien Bourdais in the 2006 Champ Car season was the last to win four consecutive races.
Power has won at least one race in eight consecutive seasons in Champ Car and INDYCAR, joining Rick Mears, Bobby Rahal and Al Unser Jr.
Reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon, who finished fourth in the opener, Michael Andretti and Johnny Rutherford each have nine consecutive winning seasons. Helio Castroneves, runner-up to Dixon in the championship last season and who started this season with a podium, is the all-time leader with a win in 12 consecutive seasons (2000-2010).
With the early points advantage, Power can set his sights on the two goals he treasures most: winning his first Indianapolis 500 and his first series title.
"Sometime years I've started here and been so conservative," Power said. "I just want to race, race hard, and I want to win. That's the only way to think of it, not think of points. I want to win a championship, but I like winning races. Hopefully the two come together and it happens."
A footnote: Al Unser had quite a run in 1970 and '71, and only Swede Savage in the 1970 finale on Nov. 21 at Phoenix interrupted Unser's streak of eight wins in the nine races over the two USAC seasons. Unser, who started from the pole on the one-mile oval, finished second in the 150-lap race in the No. 2 Johnny Lightning 500 Colt/Ford TC. He kicked off 1971 with consecutive wins at Rafaela, Argentina (doubleheader) and Phoenix.
2. Inside the box score - Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg: Numbers to note following the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg -- the opening round of the 2014 Verizon Indy Car Series season.
1.98 - Average running position of Will Power for the 110 laps of racing at St. Petersburg.
2 - Drivers who have won at St. Petersburg more than once - Helio Castroneves (3 wins) and Will Power (2 wins)
7 - Lead changes in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The previous nine averaged 6.4 lead changes.
8 - Consecutive Indy car seasons with at least one victory for Will Power.
12 - Finishing position of Mikhail Aleshin, the highest-placed Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate.
13 - Positions improved by Josef Newgarden (22nd to ninth), most of any driver in the race.
17.8 - Percentage that Will Power has won in his Indy car career (22 for 123).
22 - Wins for Will Power, which ties Emerson Fittipaldi and Tony Bettenhausen for 19th on the all-time list.
25 - Laps in which Sebastien Bourdais improved his position - most of any driver in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
50 - The lead Chevrolet earned in the Manufacturers' Championship standings by placing three cars in the top-five at St. Pete. Chevrolet leads Honda 122-72.
55 - Races led by Will Power since the beginning of 2010, a span of 69 races.
93.572 - Average speed of the race in mph, the fastest-ever Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
3. Rahal Foundation auctioning off Rahal helmet from 2013 finale: The Graham Rahal Foundation is auctioning the helmet that Graham Rahal wore in the 2013 MAVTV 500 to raise money for children's charities.

The Last of Us
Review by DarknessXSeeker
"A masterpiece that will be remembered forever."
Spoiler free review
Note: The following is my opinion and should not be taken as fact.
When Naughty Dog first announced this game a lot of people, including myself, was skeptical about this game and wondered, could Naughty Dog pull it off? And now after all the waiting, all the hype, and all the sky high expectations for this game, it has finally arrived. And I can say for a fact that it absolutely does live up to the expectations, never in my life have I played a game this enticing and unforgettable. The Playstation 4 launches this holiday and Naughty Dog didn't just make the Playstation 3 go out with a bang, they're making it go out with an apocalyptic explosion. Now I know you may think I am exaggerating, but I'm not The Last of Us is really that good.
Story: 10/10
Being a spoiler free review I can't say much about the story. So I am going to say this as clear as possible, DO NOT spoil this game's story or you are doing yourself an injustice. Anyway, the game takes place 20 years after a fungus hits the United States and begins to infect the entire population. You play as Joel a hardcore survivor in this post apocalyptic world, who is tasked with getting Ellie, a 14 year old girl, across the country. On the journey Joel and Ellie encounters other survivors and not all of them are friendly, but they are all very likeable characters. And by the end of the story it leaves you thinking, could I do all of this just to survive?
Graphics: 10/10
If you have played Naughty Dog's Uncharted franchise you will probably be expecting Uncharted caliber graphics. But no, Naughty Dog pushed The Last of Us far beyond Uncharted's graphics. I have always said Uncharted had the best graphics of any PS3 series I have ever played. But The Last of Us has dethroned Uncharted, both the characters and environments look completely realistic in every way and is truly breath taking. Details that I find cool is small stuff, such as when Joel jumps in water his cloths will only be wet depending on how deep he got in the water.
Characters: 10/10
Naughty Dog has always been known for their very creative and interesting characters, and The Last of Us delivers the most interesting ND characters and the best voice acting in the companies history.
Joel: A man who has been through hell and tries to forget the world he once knew. He is now willing to do anything to survive whether it be stealing or killing, Joel is willing to do it just to live one more day in this terrible world.
Ellie: A 14 year old girl who has grew up in this world, unlike Joel she has no idea what the world use to be like and can't imagine it being any different. It is for this reason Ellie is fascinated by things that you and I use every day, because she has never seen them before.
Tess: Joel's partner in crime, wherever Joel goes Tess goes. Her and Joel are known throughout the Quarantine Zone and feared by many because of how far they're willing to go to survive.
Music: 9/10
The music in this game is simple, yet fantastic. Gustavo Santaolalla composed the soundtrack for the game, some of the simple guitar music is played just by him, and he does a dang good job at it. The music in the game can differ depending on the situation, it can sound very sad, hopeless, exciting, and sometimes a little cheery. It definitely fits with the post apocalyptic setting in this game.
Gameplay: 10/10
Let me start this off by saying The Last of Us is very different from Uncharted, it is a perfect mix of a Third-Person Shooter, Stealth, and Survival. However the game's violence is really brutal, though luckily there is an option to turn the gore off like I did, so if you don't enjoy the brutal violence you can turn most of it off.
As I am sure you know ammo is very scarce in this game, if you have 10 bullets you are extremely lucky. You have to try your best to not miss and make every single shot count. Joel can upgrade each weapon to make it hold more rounds, do more damage, or increase the reload speed. All of these upgrades can come in handy when you are forced into a gunfight.
There is also a crafting system in The Last of Us, now when I first heard of this I was expecting something as complicated as Final Fantasy's synthesizing. However thankfully it is not, it is as simple as finding a bottle of alcohol and a rag to make a medical kit and takes about 5 seconds to craft. Now you have to choose carefully, cause some items require the same materials. For example you can craft a shiv with scissors and binding or a nail bomb with scissors and explosives, or use Scissors and binding to make a stronger melee weapon. All the items are useful and you will find yourself crafting frequently throughout the game. Be warned the crafting system happens in real time, so if you want to craft a Molotov or a shiv you need to be away from enemies or be completely unnoticed or else you will get hurt. There are many areas to explore and scavenge, such as old abandoned homes, garages, work building and more, in them you can find supplies and notes left behind by the people that once lived and worked there.
There are two types of enemies you fight, humans and infected, the humans you fight could be armed with a gun or with a baseball bat, but no matter what they have you need to be careful. I know Joel is voiced by Troy Baker but don't be like Snow Villiers and "charge in guns blazing" or you will die very quickly. You can either shoot your enemies or stealth kill them. Both can be equally as difficult, but can be achieved with practice. However the Infected are on a different level, there are four types of Infected:
Runners: The first stage of infected and they live up to their name. Their eye sight is damaged but they can still see you and when they do they will run at you, Oh my God didn't see that coming, and try to bite your face or just simply beat you to death. When you are taking on one it is easy but in groups the Runners can be very deadly, so be careful trying to melee a group of Runners.
Stalkers: Stage two and my most hated form. The fungus has started to grow out of their head and they look more monster like then Runners do. And unlike the Runners, the Stalkers can sense you anywhere in the room so it is impossible to stealth kill a stalker. Like the Runners they will just run strait for you to try and bite you, but they are harder to kill, deal more damage, and are just fricken annoying.
Clickers: Stage three of the infected, the fungus has fully grown outside of their heads and they are now completely blind. I know you think that means they're easy to kill, but they're not. Like bats they use echo communication to see, meaning they can hear you a lot better then a Runner can, so you will have to be very quiet sneaking up on them. Clickers are an instant kill, if they catch you they will bite Joel's neck and you will have to restart. You can't punch a Clicker or you will die you need an upgraded melee weapon such as a plank of wood or a baseball bat to melee them, but even then you have to stun them to be on the safe side. Stealth killing a clicker is not easy you can't sneak up and choke them like a Runner, you need a Shiv to stealth kill them, however shivs also can open locked doors so you have to choose where and when you think your shiv will be the most useful.
Bloaters: The fourth and final stage of the infected, the fungus has now completely covered their entire body. Like Clickers they're blind but very, very hard to kill, they can toss Spore bombs at you which deal massive damage if you are caught in the blast. They are also one hit kills and if you don't like seeing a ton of gore like myself you need to not get caught by one of these, because the death scene is VERY gruesome. Because their body is covered in fungus they can take more bullets then other forms of infected, however because of this they are more vulnerable to fire so if you have any Molotov's then I suggest you use them on these things.
As stated before there is a perfect balance of gameplay in The Last of Us so it never feels like it's getting old. On all three of my playthroughs I have never got through an area exactly the same, because the enemies will be in different places most of the time or I could accidentally mess up and have to resort to different methods of surviving. During combat you have different choices to make, you might get spotted and have to use your guns or you could stealth kill them without be noticed. No matter what you choose you will have fun with the gameplay.
Verdict: 10/10
The Last of Us is a masterpiece and possibly the best game of this generation. It has outstanding voice acting, a very well told story, very likeable characters, and superb gameplay. Naughty Dog took a leap of faith making a new I.P. at the end of the PS3's life span, but in doing so they gave us the best game they have ever made and the best PS3 exclusive. If you own a Playstation 3 you need to get this game, I can promise you that you will not be disappointed with this game. So now that you know all of this why are you still reading this? Go buy this game now!

Post subject: Atlanta's potential moves & impact on future
Right now, the Falcons are talking to Mike Tice and Mike Mularky about signing on as offensive coaches in certain capacities. For those that don't know, Mike Tice was a 6'8" Tight End for a number of teams in the NFL, and Malarkey was the head coach of the Bills who would help out on the offense. Also being interviewed is Greg Olsen, former 49ers & Lions QB coach. Each would have the following impact:
Mike Tice - could change the O line completely and help McKay draft the right linemen (McKay's 1st round Tackle = Kenyatta Walker, Tice's = Bryant McKinnie), since Tice has an obvious eye for that sort of thing. This could be huge because Vick needs a power running game to compliment his speed & ability. Power running is essential for winning in the NFL postseason and would help us to close out more regular season games. Of the 3 I am most excited about this one & hope we bring him in.
Mike Malarky - the Bills head coach showed a world of courage when he decided to pack it in & leave Buffalo. For those who do not know, he had 3 years left on his $1million/year contract & decided to leave because the ownership & most of the higher up executives lived nowhere near Buffalo. He felt this showed a general lack of interest from the people who matter the most and walked away from his contract. I am luke warm on him. While it is good to have coaches who have experience, I am not sure how he would directly help the team.
Greg Olsen - could be an interesting pickup as he coached Jeff Garcia back when Jeff was a great QB for the 49ers. He may be able to work with Vick, but I think the bigger problem with Vick is the line & the playcalling more than anything. I'm still not sure how you could run the ball 60% of the time when you're paying your QB $130mil. Anyhow, I digress.
This could take the offense in a whole new direction in the long term, and it could mean the end for Knapp. If Tice doesn't get a Coordinating job, then I expect he will sign on with the Falcons & the Gibbs' system might be nearing an end in Atlanta. Tice knows first hand how good Vick really is and he will do whatever it takes to make sure Vick has everything around him he needs to make plays.
Defensively, it seems like we are kind of writing last year off to injuries & lack of experience. Expect to see Webster on the field in one position or another as Mora holds him in high regard and trusts him to be solid. Also, expect us to replace the Safeties through FA & the draft of course. I think the staff feels it would serve everyone to have DeMo move to Safety because of his tackling skills and speed. You can't put a talent like DeMo on the bench and I doubt they really are ready to ship off Boley after the kind of rookie year he had. Also, I don't expect us to draft another DT high in this draft after we just picked up one in the 2nd round last year. The only way that would happen is if Ngata dropped and he won't. We may be willing to take Bunkley, Mahelona, or another top DT if one of them dropped to the 2nd round though; mainly because I don't see the same philosophy change going to the defense that I see on offense as far as needing more size up front. Obviously, we will need a new RDE or a solid backup for Smith and, to me, Brock from Indianapolis is the perfect fit. He is slightly undersized but has shown the abilty to consistenly penetrate against the run & bring a solid pass rush. That is exactly what the McKay/Kiffin defensive scheme wants and Brock, or one of a few others, will probably be here next year.
The problem we have in Atlanta is that we have about 4 different philosophies controlling 2 aspects. The emphasis on each persons' scheme is overuling the other's and it is creating a chaotic environment where nobody is quite sue what we really need or how it will work. McKay/Kiffin's scheme is directly contradicting Donatell's in some ways as Don always had a big body in the middle to chew up blocks. He also likes speed, but he really knew that with speed you become vulnerable to power so he brought some power to the middle. We've already started this by bringing in Hartwell to the MLB position, but someone is going to have to bend here and it should be McKay. We need a huge DT and we may just sign a vet for the job.
Drafting linemen is a funny thing because when you take a 21, 22 yr old young man and line him up accross from a 28-30+ yr old man you start to see difference. These guys get eevn stronger in the NFL and it take time for the young guys to get up to snuff in that regard, which is one reason we got pushed around all year. If we do draft linemen early it will mean we are looking to build towards 2007 or 2008 rather than immediately get back to the NFLCCG next year, so keep an eye on that during the draft.
An important thing to consider when looking at the draft is that you want to look for the hotbeds in FA. This means that you don't want to have to sign the high dollar FA's to fill holes in your roster. Positions like corner, QB, WR, LT, & DE are all top dollar positions. They are positions where the best players are amongst the highest paid players in the league. There are always certain exceptions to this idea, like when a team has a major need to fill (Pittsburgh taking Polamalu or Seattle taking Tatupu), but in general terms teams will be looking for these positions. The other general exception is if there is a player sitting there, such as a RB, that isn't one of those money positions but is far & away the best player available. The Falcons could fall into that scenario this year if DeAngelo Williams is sitting there at pick 15. They could also be looking to fix the pass protection problem though this draft while fixing the defense through FA. Either way, this will be a difficult draft to call beforehand as I'm not even sure the Falcons know where they're going in this whole thing. Rest assured though, come draft day Rich McKay is money and he will take us in one direction or another depending on how the picks fall.
Props to Scar for the sweetest sig on the site!

Bailing Out Journalism?
Just as I am, without one plea,
but that I shed my ink for thee,
and that thou bidst me lie for thee,
O Big Brother, I come, I come.

(FYI: For some reason the article won't load for me, so I can't read it. I do get the headline, so from that I can infer the drift.)
The notion of a local newspaper is in trouble, and not just in small towns, and not for the reason you are inclined to assume. We lost our 170+ year old paper here in Ann Arbor, and both Detroit papers are in trouble. The biggest single problem is the Internet: many papers have managed the transition to the digital age very poorly, and so are losing money. Often the parent company, HQ'd somewhere else, shuts down the local paper as a pure business move. (That is what happened in Ann Arbor, although some folks I know blame the poor management of the parent company, Newhouse.)
The notion of some kind of gov't bailout for newspapers is a bad idea. We don't have the money, and gov't involvement with the press is simply Not a Good Idea. I agree that having local papers and major metropolitan papers is important in a free society, but there should be no government involvement.

I linked to the same piece on another site. Any way,I don't believe Rather was referring primarily to small town newspapers. I hate to see their demise as well. I think the ones that are able to hang on focus on local news, which is what they should do instead of regurgitating the AP stuff that's 2 days old - and liberally biased.
We agree on the government involvement and I would say the same thing if Republicans were in control. VERY BAD IDEA. The Founders would howl.

Most national papers: NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post etc., already print only the official government line. They might as well get a little money out of it.

Franklin admits she decided to lose weight after realizing her ballooning figure made her 'too fat for words'.
Legendary singer Aretha Franklin was so disgusted with her weight gain she took on a strict diet in 2010 and lost 85 pounds (38.5 kilograms). The "Respect" hitmaker showed off a noticeably slimmer figure when she appeared via video link at last month's Grammy Awards, two months after undergoing surgery to fix a mystery health problem.
Franklin revealed she shed the bulk by cutting out junk food, her beloved fatty pork products and adopting a healthier lifestyle. The singer admits she was inspired to do something about her ballooning figure after realizing she was "too fat for words".
She tells U.S. TV presenter Wendy Williams, "I've been looking at a lot of pictures... and I was saying (to myself), 'You were entirely too fat for words! I'm getting close to my normal weight now, I'm only a dress size away now. I was doing everything you could do to lose that weight and it's hard, really hard, when you love food... Altogether, it was about 85 pounds. It was gradual." But Franklin admits the toughest part about the weight loss was cutting out the calories late at night after shows: "After you've done a high-energy concert, a carrot isn't gonna work!"

TFC Diamond Eagles Split Double-Header
The Toccoa Falls College Baseball team split a double-header with Talladega College Tornadoes on the TFC campus Monday. The Tornadoes came into the game with a 36-17 record, and had won 11 straight games prior to Monday's non-conference bout. But TFC's Ronnie Stewart's walk-off home run highlighted the day as the Eagles won game one 10-7. The bomb was Stewart's 9th of the year, and delivered his team-leading 46th RBI of the season. Second baseman Josh Ward upped his season average to .354 with another 3-4 outing. Zach Breeden took the win from the mound with two and two-thirds of scoreless ball.
TFC dropped the second game of the double-header, 13-7. Justin Key, the NCCAA's leader in on base percentage (.537), finished game two 3-5 from the plate with a run scored. Starter Zach Murdock was handed the loss for TFC with five innings pitched.
The Eagles, with a record of 28 & 14, will conclude their regular season with a home doubleheader on Saturday against ShorterCollege. Saturday will also serve as Senior Day for the Eagles. Following the regular season finale, Toccoa will travel to Point University on May 5-8 to participate in the NCCAA region tournament in West Point, Georgia.

The national capital is one of Australia's greatest assets. As the seat of Government, the city is a vital part of the nation's history and an important visitor destination.
Yet Canberra has not realised its full potential. The landscapes and monuments are not matched by a cosmopolitan lifestyle expected of such an important national and international centre. Parts of the city give a glimpse of the grand civic design envisaged by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin - of parks and boulevards, public buildings and monuments - but others are an anticlimax.
Urban development pressures and traffic threaten to diminish the capital's special qualities, to encroach on its leafy garden suburbs and erode its celebrated landscape setting.
It is time to look to the future. A far-sighted strategy is needed to ensure that the nation's capital in the 21st century realises its potential and can accommodate the best of contemporary urban development.
The NCA is providing the framework to complete Griffin's plan, outlined in the Griffin Legacy, released December 2004, with great support.

Twitter plans to make its initial public offering filing public this week, news website Quartz reported on Sunday (US time), citing a source familiar with the social media network's plan.
Twitter, which is expected to be valued at up to $US15 billion, filed with US regulators on September 12 to go public, but did so confidentially and without providing a timeline under a process available to emerging growth companies.
Quartz said Twitter's IPO could still be delayed by a variety of factors, from changes to the prospectus to market conditions, to a potential shutdown of the US government. Representatives for Twitter did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment on the Quartz report.
Twitter is leaning toward picking the New York Stock Exchange over Nasdaq for its highly anticipated initial public offering, a person familiar with the matter said last week.
Another person familiar with the matter said earlier this month that Twitter aimed for its shares to trade in the sharemarket before the US holiday of Thanksgiving on November 28, a timeline also reported by Quartz on Sunday.

Class : Membranophone
There are two distinct styles of playing the Assamese Dhol
Bihu Dhol Style – As an accompanying Instrument to Bihu Songs and Dance
Oja Dhol Style – As an instrument of solo performance.
Apart these two styles of the Dhol being discussed in this page, the other Dhols has their own characteristic styles and notes, which are entirely different then Bihu Dhol or Oja Dhol . Though the Bihu Dhol and Oja Dhol are almost same in construction, the notes of both two styles are different, also the purpose and level of expertise required. Oja's often seen playing more than one Dhol at a time.
A right handed Dhuliya Should Carry the Dholar Mari in right hand, Taali towards his left. They should carry the Dhol on left shoulder. The left heel is raised a bit, and the weight of the Dhol is partially transferred to the left thigh, for convenience of playing. If the strain on the Kobani skin is more , the Dhol doesn't yield the desired bass, so it has to be loosened a little, by pressing with fingers, or raw leaves of gourd may be ground and layered on it. Otherwise the dhol can be kept in a humid place, with Kobani side down for a while. This activity is known as 'Pelai lowa' or Lowering of Dhol. May be because of this , the Dhol sounds better at night.
Major parts of an Assamese Bihu Dhol or Pati Dhol or Simply Dhol , are shown in the Figure . The body part of the Dhol is made from wood. Usually, jackfruit wood is considered to be the best for Dhol, however, some people seen to use Mango or Sam wood . The middle part of the trunk of the tree, say , the part at around 15 feet height is chosen for making the body. The Dakor Basan suggests a method to select the timber for Dhol
Baro Haate dhol, Tero hate Khol (Make dhol from the part that is at 12 Haat* from the ground and Khol from 13 haat)
*one haat or one hand is a rough measurement of length , usually the distance between the elbow and finger tip of an adult- which is almost 1.5 feet; used extensively is Assamese rural society for rough approximation , later on some formal definitions of haat were also known to be developed
The timber is put in wood lathe to form the outer shape and then bored with chisels. Earlier some traditional dies like hengul , haital were used to color the shell, now people are using chemical paints.
Goat skin is used for the Tali and Cow skin for the Kobani side of the Dhol Some special cobblers collect these skins from dead animals, cut & clean, season and make it ready for Dhol. The skin pieces are cut into proper size and then tied with lather strings or Boroti's of both sides of the Khola. A rim is made around the Tali by twisting Lather strings , which is called the Maluwa. The moluwa shaped part towards the Kobani is made of lather and called Kural or the Kobani Gher . Apart from that, a small strip of lather is introduced under the Tali , which is called the ' Katoni Saal' . A few small piercings are made through katoni and Moluwa to insert the 'Boroti' . These holes are called Puli. On the other side a small groove is made along the periphery of the Khola on the Kobani side, and small bamboo spacers are inserted in it. The groove is called 'Kural' and the Inserts are called 'Foringa 'or 'Foring'. The Foringas help to adjust the tension in the Borotis , and used to tune to Dhol.
The rope with which the Dhol is carried around the players shoulders is called the Kandhjori or Konari Jori. Two small loops made of lather strips are provided at the two ends to facilitate fitting of the Kandhjori. . Those loops are called Konari or Kanai . Sometimes people put another knot around the mid portion of the Khola, which is called ' Pet-Bandhani' or the Belly knot, but this is basically an ornamental part of the Dhol.
A Drum Stick or Dholar Mari, made of bamboo is used to play the Dhol. The Kobani side is played with the Stick , while the Tali side is played with bare hand. There are specific rules of construction of the Dholar Mari, generally a stick made of a matured bamboo, is cut is shape and then ground and finished to make the Dholar Mari, a bamboo node should fall on the middle part of the Stick, which helps in maintaining weight balance of the two ends. Traditionaly, the Dhulia or the Dhol Player, makes the Stick himself as per his own convenience.
Assamese Bihu and Husari are incomplete without Dhol . The Dhol playing always takes the lead in Bihu and Husari. Dhol is played not only with Bihu dance and songs, but also accompanied while playing other lead instruments like Pëpa and Gogona etc. Dhol and Taal ( the cymbals) are played throughout the Bihu or Husari performance, while other instruments are played intermittently.
Apart From Bihu, Oja dhol was and indispensible part of any Marriage ceremony or religious functions in Assamese society. Oja Dhol is a complete single instrument performance. Now-a-days, Oja Dhol has shifted its place form marriage ceremonies to the Stage. Oja dhol ' Bol' ( notes) are more difficult than normal Bihu Dhol – the Oja's produces different sounds such as roars of animals etc. in Dhol to entertain the audience. Dhol is also considered to be a holy instrument and is played in marriages, different religious celebrations by Xatra's such as Raxotsv, Phalgutsav etc. Dhol is even played during traditional Buffalo Fights and Cock fights in different parts of Assam.
The contribution of Ahom Kings ( Swargadeu ) is vital in popularizing the Dhol in Assamese folk culture. The Malita's of Dhol speak about the Guru of all Dhuliya's , Xodhan oja, who is believed to be playing in the court of the first Ahom King Sukapha. Even other Malita's of Dhol often mention about the Ahom kings. It can be derived that Dhol enjoyed Royal patronization during that period. Even, when the Kings and the officials of the Kingdom went out, there was a custom of Dhulias leading the way playing Dhol. A Seo or Musical piece called ' Dolakaxoriya seo' specially developed for this purpose is being played till date. Moreover, its is so mentioned that, kings messages, orders and the news of the state was being communicated to the masses by beats of the Dhol .
Arguably, Dhol is considered to be the most important Musical instrument of Assamese Folk culture. Dhol is an indispensable part of any festival of almost all tribes of Assam. Because of that, in different parts of Assam, different types of Dhols with their distinctive playing styles are found. Dhol is considered to be an instrument of the gods. In the folklores , its is said that Dhol was created in Kailash, the abode of God Shiva, and was brought to the Earth by Arjuna, one of the Pandavas. Dhol like instruments are found in almost every culture of the world, however, the Assamese Dhol is distinguished by its small size and comparatively large sound , combined with it's varied usage. Once, the Dhol players are considered best life partners for girls, which indicates that it was the symbol of masculinity. Dhol was also linked to human fertility.
Dhol is ancient instruments of Assam, statues of Dhol players in archeological excavations are discovered. Considering extensive use of Bamboo and timber in Dhol, it can deduced that , Dhol is an input of Mongolian Culture , though , no reliable evidences are found on the use of Dhol and its place in Folk culture in ancient times. However a Malita of Dhol says so
" Satya Juge patisil hara gauri biya, ( In the 'Satya Yuga' God Shiva and Gauri got married)
Tetiya bojaisil Dhol Anadi Dhulia . ( And Anandi Dhulia played dhol there)
Treta Juge patisil Sriramchandrar biya ,( in Treta Yuga God Shri Rama Chandra got married)
Tetiya bojaisil dhol Binandi Dhulia . ( then Binandi Dhuliya played)
Dwaporata Patisil Rukminira Biya, ( In Dwapar Yuga Rukmini tied the nuptial knots)
Tetiya bojaisil dhol Nandi Dhuliya. ( Nandi Dhuliya played in there)
Kolijuge devabangxi raja naami jai, ( In Kali –Yuga , the king descendent of the Gods came down )
Xodhan ojai dhol bai anile nomai. ( and Xodhan Oja welcomed him with his Dhol)
( A few different versions of this Malita is also heard )
N B : A Yuga ( Assamese যুগ) are time periods or an epoch as per Hindu Philosophy .
1. Oxommor Badyajantra – Sri Dharmeswar Duwara – Bani Prakash
2. Axomor Dholbadya – Joy Oja – Axom Xhitya Xobha
3. Badya Abhigyan – Dr. Devajit Saikia – Axom Naam Xmaroh Udjapon Xomiti – Auniati xatra

Different types of Dhols are used by different communities of Assam in different occasions. Though the basic constructional features of these Dhols are same, Significant differences is Shape, Size, Style of playing and use are observed.
The Bihu Dhol or Pati Dhol and Oja Dhol: A Small size Dhol used in Bihu, in this article, this Dhol is discussed extensively. Oja Dhol slightly bigger is size than Bihu dhol, otherwise similar, used by Oja's (Specialist Dhol players, the Masters of Dhol) as a single lead I n strument . the Ojas produce the sounds of different animals , birds, vehicles and machineries, Natural Phenomena like Thunder , Strom etc. with this Dhol, and hence Assamese Dhol got the colloquial name of " the Talking Drum"
Khram : The Dhol used by the Dimasas and Tiwa tribes of Assam are called the Khram, which is longer an parallel in shape. On the other hand similar Dhol used by Bodo's and Rabhas is called the Kham. Since both the Kham and Khram look similar are played in similar situations, they are kept under the same heading. Khram or Kham is usually played in religious ceremonies.
Dhepa Dhol : The Dhepa Dhol , played in Dhepa Dhuliya functions of Dorong- Mongoldoi region of Assam , has quite unique characteristics. One side of this Dhol is covered with two layers of Goat skin and water is poured inside while playing. The Dhepa Dhuliya is a complete performance of its own, with Dance , song and acting,
Jay Dhol : A Big size Dhol with large sound, usually accompanied with Deodhoni Dance of Assam. In Dorong-Mongoldoi region of Assam, solo Jaydhol performances in Joy Dhulia and use of Joy Dhol in Manaxa or Maroi Puja (religious festivals) are also common.
Madol : The Dhol used by tea tribes of Assam along with Jhumur . Apart from Assam , Madol is found in different tribal cultures of India,
Bor -Dhol : As the name suggests , Bor Dhol in the largest Dhol is Assam, almost one and half meter in length, the end diameter varies from half a meter to one meter. One side of BorDhol is played with hand and the other side with a bow shaped Drum Stick. In Dorong- Mongoldoi and Kamrup regions, Bor –Dhuliya , a single instrument performance of Dhol. Accompanied by Song and Dance by players is a popular social function. The traditional Pipette Shows, Bor Dhol is often played in these places.
Kavi Dhol : Kavi Dhol is a wide faced Dhol, played with long Drum sticks, which is an accompanying instrument to Goalporia Lokageet, Folk song of the Goalpara region of Assam .
(In this page of www.anvesha.co.in , only the Oja Dhol or Bihu Dhol is discussed in detail. More information about other types of Dhol will be found in respective pages.)
There are three ( Ghin, Khit, Daö) or sometimes four ( Daö, Ghin, Taghen, and Khit ) main 'Bols' of Dhol
Kobani Bols
Ghin or Ghen : This Bol is played on the Kobani side , hitting the Kobani with the drum stick sharply, And allowing it to bounce back. The drum stick to be held softly, to effect the bouncing back .
Khit, Khi or Takh : There are three ways to play this bol
The kobani is hit softly with the Drum Stcik and the stick is kept pressed on the Kobani
The Khola is hit softly with the stick
Tali is hit softly with the Stick
Tali Bols
Daö : Daö is played by hitting the tali sharply with left hand , keeping the fingers spread. The wrist to be kept flexible so that the hand bounces back a little after hitting
Bols played using both sides together
Taghen : " The tali hit normally with left hand and then Ghin in right , gives the Taghen Bol "
( Oxomor Dhol badya – Joy oja – Axom Xahitya Xobha)
Supporting and combined Bols
The ways to play a few combined and supporting Bols are given below. For understanding the description of the Bols, figure showing the parts of the Dhol may be referred
Dhin or Din : Dhin is also played on the Tali, like Daö, but here the fingers are kept closed. Here also the fingers need to bounce back after hitting the Tali.
Des or Chak or Das :Dhes is played on the Tali, with spread fingers, But in Dhes, the fingers are kept pressed to the Tali, after hitting.
Ti : Ti is played with the rest of the fingers of the hand but the Index finger, which is kept raised, and hitting the joint of Tali and Katoni saal sharply.
Lou or Tou : Sharply Hitting the junction of Tali and Katoni Saal with the index finger of the left hand |
Gi : a soft Ghin
Dighen (Dhin+Ghin) : Another combined bol, here Dhin and Ghin played together, similar to Taghen
Ghina : Though not a independent Bol, Ghin is played extensively in Dhol, this is a combined Bol of Ghin and Ti , while Ti marginally lags Ghin
There are differences among the Ojas and experts about the method of classification of the Bols of Dhol . Some experts claims the following classification ( including Ragar and complex bols) more justified .
This may be worth mentioning here that , all these Bols can be and played in marginally different ways. The general and most common ways are mentioned in here. Even the Bols are named differently in different places. The Dhulias are found to rename the Bols as per their convenience.
Ragar of Dhol : Apart from those Basic Bols, The Dhuliyas introduce some half bols in between, to break the monotony as well as filling the gap between bols, keeping the rhythm same, so as to create a better effect, like Alankars in Indian Classical Music. The Alankars of Dhol are called Ragar

GM hoping to make moves at meetings to fill voids
Baseball's Winter Meetings open Monday at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The Reds see the meetings as a chance to close some of the deals they've been talking about this offseason.
"We've had a lot of discussions with clubs," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "Hopefully, we'll be able to follow and get something done."
They had better hope so.
The club is frightfully thin in a couple of areas - most notably outfield and catching.
There are only four outfielders on the 40-man roster. Two of them were rookies last year (Jay Bruce and Chris Dickerson) and two of them spent most of the last year on the disabled list (Ryan Freel and Norris Hopper).
Ryan Hanigan is the only catcher on the roster who's caught an inning at the major league level. The sum total of his experience in the big leagues? Thirty-three games.
The Reds went into the offseason with their expressed needs as a right-handed-hitting run-producer, a frontline catcher and a center fielder/leadoff man.
They've been unable to fill any of those needs. The only thing they have done, in fact, is re-sign reliever Mike Lincoln. They still are trying to re-sign reliever David Weathers and outfielder/infielder Jerry Hairston Jr.
Signing Hairston would go a long way toward filling the center field/leadoff void.
Jocketty has said from the start of the offseason that the Reds would prefer to fill their needs through trades.
They've been the subject of numerous rumors. Two that have legs are that they're trying to get outfielder Jermaine Dye from the Chicago White Sox and that they're trying to get catcher Gerald Laird from the Texas Rangers.
Jocketty won't comment on the trade talks, but he acknowledged that the Reds have talked to the White Sox about several players.
While trading is the preferred route, it looks like there will be bargains at the free agent table.
Only a handful of free agents have signed. With the down economy, it's clear that very few clubs are in the spending mode.
MAGIC JUAN: Third baseman Juan Francisco is tearing it up in the Dominican Winter League. He's hitting .347 with eight home runs and 25 RBI in 29 games for Cibao. Those are pretty impressive numbers for a 22-year-old.
Speaking of Winter Ball, neither Edinson Volquez nor Johnny Cueto has pitched yet.
Guess Dickerson can't play center.

Q How might patients with lung cancer have influenced the timing of diagnosis?
Structured and semistructured interviews.
2 outpatient cancer centres in the UK.
A quota sample of 22 patients 43–82 y of age (55% men) with lung cancer. All but 1 patient were previous or current smokers. 7 patients had potentially curable disease.
Patients participated in structured and semistructured interviews. Most were interviewed within 3 days to 1 month of diagnosis. Patients were asked about events leading up to their diagnosis, and key events were recorded on a time line; this was followed up by specific questions about each symptom. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim.
All patients had experienced symptoms for ⩾4 months before reporting suspicious symptoms to a doctor—patient delay. 6 themes were identified as reasons for patient delay. (1) Experiencing uncertainty over what was normal and …

Eleanor Clift: New Tea Partiers in House 'Going to Get Their Hearts Broken' in Washington
Newsweek's Eleanor Clift on Friday said the newly-elected Tea Party members in the House are going to get their hearts broken when they get to the nation's capital.
In her view, expressed on PBS's "The McLaughlin Group," this will happen "as they come up against all the forces in Washington, the same forces that Barack Obama came up against" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK: The Tea Party caucus in the House has 43 members. They've elected 41 new members, and they're all going to get their hearts broken as they come up against all the forces in Washington, the same forces that Barack Obama came up against.
Needless to say, Clift and her ilk have been selling the Tea Party short for over twenty months, and will continue to do so until one of its ranks becomes Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, or - dare I say - President.
At least her negativity concerning the strongest movement in politics today remains consistent.

Per discussion on tb-planning [https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-planning/2011-March/000873.html], we should try to see what jsdoc comes up with when run on mailnews/db/gloda and mail/test/mozmill.
Comment 1•
6 years ago
Noting that I would suggest that if it does not yield fruit pretty quickly, I would suggest we reconsider and try with another tool. Specifically, my previous tooling efforts in this area may be of use, and I think that, assuming reasonably comparable efforts, it's better to sink more time into them/a relative/something else more JS-y than JSDoc (toolkit). (And it would definitely be preferable to not have to add the specific markup tags required because JSDoc needs to be told things explicitly.)
Comment 2•
6 years ago
So I gave this a shot, and the results are disappointing. First, some links: - http://yquem.inria.fr/~protzenk/mozmill-doc/ - http://yquem.inria.fr/~protzenk/gloda-doc/ Here's some problems we have with the current docs: - some classes are missing for gloda (e.g. MimeMessage) - some formatting is lost for Gloda, I wonder if I didn't pass the right switches to jsdoc, I'll try to investigate that, - for mozmill, there's no way to group the functions *by file*, that's completely unacceptable! this renders the whole doc unusuable. I'll try to see if I can fix these pain points easily, but if not (which looks plausible enough), we may have indeed to switch to your other documentation tools.
Comment 3•
3 years ago
I have been experimenting with https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc as of late, and it is a bit of a rough start. It does not produce any output until you put in tags like @fileoverview, @class, @global. But then it is pretty nice, especially with the jaguarjs templates (which currently fail to link to the global.html file, see https://github.com/davidshimjs/jaguarjs-jsdoc/issues/5). Is an effort started by this bug report in progress or completed anywhere?
Comment 4•
3 years ago
The stuff I was working on in comment 1 is abandoned. I'd assume :protz's work in comment 2 is likely rendered moot by the extensive changes to JSDoc for version 3 (which is pretty neat). I'm going to speculatively clear the assignee on this since I know :protz is quite busy with non-Thunderbird stuff. I think you should feel free to assign the bug to yourself and work on this if you're interested and/or having jsdoc process other parts of the Thunderbird/MailNews trees too.
Comment 5•

Adrain, are you willing to work on this?
Comment 6•
2 years ago
Where would I start working on this and what would be a small first step that would already be useful to the project?
Comment 7•
2 years ago
I realize that we have tried very hard to use markup standards in writing code, but I have never used any documentation other than what is in the code itself. Who is the target audience for this jsdoc documentation? My fear is that trying to maintain jsdoc-compatible documentation is likely to require a level of discipline in code review that we are unlikely to be able to achieve, so any effort to improve this will quickly become non-useful as the actual code diverges in some way from the jsdoc requirements. But I don't have much experience in these areas I admit. Can someone explain to me how this is likely to be useful? If someone were to come to me offering to help with Thunderbird and Mailnews documentation, I would probably point them to these two areas: 1) If you are interested in automated tools like jsdoc, try to apply that to code that has some hope of being useful outside of Thunderbird. The main candidate here is currently jsmime. 2) For general documentation issues, try to add minimal documentation to the many undocumented methods and attributes in core mailnews/base/public interfaces.
Comment 8•
2 years ago
I agree with :rkent. This bug was filed when there were MoMo-funded fulltime engineering resources dedicated towards improving the extension-developer story for Thunderbird, and gloda, jetpack, and jetpack-for-thunderbird were actively envisioned to fulfil these roles. Friendly documentation was an important aspect of those goals. (Which is how we got https://github.com/asutherland/jstut and friends). That's no longer the case, and there isn't anyone I'm aware of ready to answer questions about gloda on a beginner level, so it's probably better if people just directly consult the code. (Note: However, I am available to answer questions for those actively contributing to/enhancing gloda, especially if the contributor is not entirely opposed to eventually taking over module ownership of gloda.) I can say that if one was going to generate documentation, my most recent js documentation forays have suggested jsdoc3 is still the best choice.

Rajon Rondo unfazed by Boston Celtics drafting Marcus Smart
Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo says he is confident in his standing with the franchise despite the team drafting Marcus Smart in last month's NBA Draft, according to a Boston Globe report from Baxter Holmes.
The Celtics used the sixth overall pick on the Oklahoma State point guard, a move that led to speculation about Rondo's future with the team. Rondo brushed aside any doubts, per the Boston Globe:
"I don't think nothing of it," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "I am who I am."
MAHONEY: Cleveland not a realistic basketball destination for LeBron James
Rondo missed 52 games last season while recovering from an ACL tear suffered in January 2013, and the Celtics finished 25-57 after trading Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets in 2013.
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge is still reportedly attempting to acquire Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Earlier this summer, Love took a weekend trip to Boston and was spotted speaking to Rondo, who denied trying to sell him on the city and franchise.

Printing in 4:3 aspect ratio-any online service recommendation?
correos wrote:
Hi there, I want to print my digital camera photos and the mainstream online services seem to offer nly 2:3 prints, with weird ways of dealing with the 4:3 pictures a lot of the digital cameras produce nowadays.
It is an international forum and you don't list your location in your profile, so it is difficult to make concrete recommendations.
If you are in the US, then Mpix does 9 x 12 inch prints very inexpensively. You will probably find that most high quality services will cut down to whatever size you want. Or, if you want small sizes and smallish volume, then you can buy a small rotary trimmer from an office or arts supply store and get your printer to not crop the image; you can then trim off the excess.
It is more trouble than it is worth for high volume labs in the US: there are few photo paper sizes that are 4:3 (4.5 x 6 inches and 6 x 8 inches, if you can find them) and noUSregular paper size that is 4:3. The international A sized papers have an aspect ratio of square root of two to one (about 1.4:1).
Are you looking for large format or small format? Are you looking for fine art papers or standard photo paper?

naw its cuz in the first pic they were hoisted up. lil more sag in the new ones. but they did stretch nicely
I posted pics of my skinnys after 6 months of almost daily wear. PM me for link to my Flickr site as HB wont let me post links yet...
These were my first raw denims and for me a worthwhile experiment. As a woodworker/cabinetmaker I am pretty hard on my clothes and I wanted to see how long raws would last and also whether or not I could achieve cool fades. Its been worthwhile and these have plenty of life left! Pretty good for $80!
Cigarettes, Ice Cream and Figurines of the Virgin Mary http://www.last.fm/user/actsyalawlz
i have a pair of NC size 31, the waist and thigh area are way too tight for me (this prolly being that i gained some weight since i bought these prior to me going to the gym) the other areas are alright, could use a lil more room but its not bad at all.
question is, with this in mind, should i size +1 in skinny or -1 in tapered to get a fit somewhat similar to my apc's with a little more room?
those apc's were a 32 waist but now im about a 34 waist so it's hell putting those on. so id either get a 34 skinny or a 33 tapered.
anyone help please?
AND for reference: im 6'1" 185 lbs
(and which would give a fit similar to 511's? but with a bit more of a taper on so the stacks are held neatly)
unbranded skinny. sized up 1 to a 33.
158 consecutive days of wear:
zzzebrazzz those jawnz are fucking sex! Mine are almost ten months and they're nothing close to yours. How many washes?
I'm 5'9, 135 lbs
I usually wear a 28 in denim, should I size up or stay TTS for the skinny denim?
More pics of my skinnies at about 11 months. Two machine washes:

HTML5 Drag and Drop Upload
I've been playing around with drag and drop in HTML5 and I'm pretty excited about it. A lot of the examples I've found online are firefox specific which isn't ideal so I've come up with a solution that works in as many browsers as possible.
Browser Support
Support for drag and drop & the file API is limited to cutting edge browsers and as the spec isn't finalised features are inconsistent... to say the least.
I've come up with a solution thats tested and works in Firefox 3.6, Safari 5, Chrome 6 and Webkit. I'll be adding support for Opera and IE if/when its available.
What I've discovered:
- SAFARI 5 doesn't support FileReader
- Only Firefox 3.6 supports addEventListener on FileReaders
- Only Firefox 3.6 supports sendAsBinary in XML Http Requests
Because of these issues I've coded three ways to upload files.
- Browsers that support sendAsBinary send the data using proper headers and PHP can easily read the $_FILES array
- Browsers that support FileReader send the file as base64 encoded string. The file information is passed in via headers
- Browsers that don't support FileReader send the file itself and is read the same way as no. 2
The Code
So, without any further ado, here is a demo. And here is the code:
<?php $upload_folder = 'data'; if(count($_FILES)>0) { //browser supported sendAsBinary() if( move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'] , $upload_folder.'/'.$_FILES['upload']['name'] ) ) { echo 'done'; } exit(); } else if(isset($_GET['up'])) { if(isset($_GET['base64'])) { $content = base64_decode(file_get_contents('php://input')); } else { $content = file_get_contents('php://input'); } $headers = getallheaders(); $headers = array_change_key_case($headers, CASE_UPPER); //different case was being used for different browsers if(file_put_contents($upload_folder.'/'.$headers['UP-FILENAME'], $content)) { echo 'done'; } exit(); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset=utf-8> <title>HTML5 Upload Demo</title>
Drag and Drop files to begin...

To keep it simple there is no size or filetype limit but could be added fairly easily. If the browser has FileReader support and the dropped file is an image it will read contents and display a preview.
If you have any questions please post them in the comments.
Bakudan - 31st October 2010
It won`t work on IE, mainly because there is no "file" property like in Mozilla - https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DragDrop/DataTransfer
And there is one thing that maybe is good idea - change "up.xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();" with the example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535874(VS.85).aspx
Nevertheless this is the best example I`ve found so far.
TechJunkie99 - 20th November 2010
Excellent work! The first demo I've seen that utilizes the sendAsBinary for firefox AND includes upload php code. Hopefully all browsers support the sendAsBinary soon so that it'll be easier to update currrent systems to use the new file upload since the same backend code using $_FILES will work.
scott - 2nd December 2010
I tried on safari 5 on mac os x but doesnt seem to work...
but otherwise amazing work. thanks!
Marc - 3rd January 2011
Thats correct Bakudan, Microsoft haven't added any support for the HTML5 File API... even in IE9beta. Fingers crossed for the final release.
Scott.. it works for me in Safari 5, are you getting any errors?
max - 6th January 2011
i got the drag and drop to work even uploaded the file to server succesfully, problem is i dont know how to get the Data the server produces after given the file .. json
Please help. a code sample would be awesome.
Marc - 7th January 2011
Hi max. I\'m not quite sure what you mean. The above script creates the file and you can do whatever with it. Using php or whatnot.
max - 9th January 2011
I finally figured it out. Absolutely amazing work !!! Thank you so much!!!
chris hansen - 10th January 2011
how can we get the response from the php uploader file and append it to a div?
Marc - 10th January 2011
Hi Chris, you may be able to read a second parameter int the upload Loaded function. I think that will work but I haven\'t tested this.
Chris Hansen - 10th January 2011
Hey, thanks for your answer;
Here is the code :
uploadLoaded : function(e) {
$('#status').html('Uploaded: 100%');
However, up.xhr.responseText is blank (and the upload script works fine and echoes the right answer.
Do you have any idea on how I could implement this?
Thank you
fresnillo - 16th February 2011
I have test your solution and I have to said that it doesn't work in Safari (4 and 5). It doesn't work because Safari doesn't support drag and drop events, not only FileReader.
In IE you can not read the file because it doesn't support File, FileReader, FileList and Blob and you have to use an ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').
It isn't a good idea but... there is no choise with IE.
söve - 19th August 2011
Thank u for posting
Joseh - 8th October 2011
I'd like to process some JSON as a response when a file is uploaded, which is rendered on the php side. How would I retrieve this json using client side javascript, i think this is also what max meant, i tried up.xhr.responseText in uploadLoaded but i didn't get anything (blank response).
Please help me out!
Marc - 8th October 2011
Hi Joseh, I think you'll need to send a separate ajax request once the upload is complete because of the different ways the upload is handled in different browsers.
Ramanan G - 14th October 2011
I tried google chrome 7.0 ,Opera 10 browser on fedora , but doesnt seem to work... and I tried on firefox browser , drag and dropped the multiple images . Images was seem's on FF browser, but only one image was saved perfectly on folder other's was not stored.
cenk - 12th December 2012
All are well, but I've come across to such a problem.. When the drop target is an <input> tagged element, the OPERA browser causes troubles in event handling. The (drop) event is not caught, and if the dropped item is a file from own computer, then it opens the file in the browser. IS there a way to avoid it? Any ideas? I've tried cancelBubble, stopPropagation, and many others...but useless....is it a problem with OPERA? 'cos FF,Chrome works excellent even with <input> tagged drop targets.

Enter a world where feather frocks, sparkly silhouettes and showstopping high-kicks rule. There's nowhere quite like Moulin Rouge Paris. Entertaining crowds for over 100 years, each night more than a hundred talented twirlers take center stage for two epic hours of Parisian cabaret like you've never seen it before. The inspiration behind Baz Luhrman's award-winning film and works by famous artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Moulin Rouge has been a perpetual Parisian icon since it first flung open its doors in 1889. Besides the jigs and jives, the theatre's rich history, culture and dazzling décor alone will impress, its plush red velvet interiors and elegant chandeliers a throwback to the Paris of eras gone by. It may attract tourists by the dozen, but there's a reason why this show remains a best-seller. Surviving two world wars, economic crises and social turmoil, Moulin Rouge has stood the test of time, its delightful mix of risqué choreography, awe-inspiring sets, and decked-out dancers lending a euphoric Parisian charm that can't be replicated. Cancan, anyone?

These days the monastery and motels house people who had to leave Sloviansk.
There was one monastery nearby, an ancient site more than 200 years old, but no tourists had ever stayed there.
The priest in question is the Hungarian-born Father Franz Jalics, who is now in his mid-80s and living in a German monastery.
We had a monastery, which we ran as a resort in the summer near Big Sur.
Since then, a car was dramatically torched in the monastery's parking lot 30 seconds up the block, in broad daylight.
The monastery of Clugny grew out of the urgent need of monastic reform.
He hurriedly reached the main path which led to the monastery.
It was during these months that the Buddha would retire to some monastery and cease from travelling and teaching for a time.
They are forbidden to leave the cloister for the farm or the neighbourhood of the monastery.
Like the famous A-tu-ma-shi monastery, these made no pretence of being in Burmese style, and were grievous to the sthetic eye.
c.1400, from Old French monastere "monastery" (14c.) and directly from Late Latin monasterium, from Ecclesiastical Greek monasterion "a monastery," from monazein "to live alone," from monos "alone" (see mono-). With suffix -terion "place for (doing something)." Originally applied to houses of any religious order, male or female.

Vespucci, Amerigo (1454–1512)
The latter explained by gestures that his countrymen often visited nearby islands to carry off men and women to eat. They tasted, he added, excellent. Vespucci suppressed a shudder and airily changed the subject to ask his guide how old he was. The old man pointed at his necklace, which consisted of a bead for every year of his age more than a hundred of them.
Vespucci was then introduced to other men, all of whom claimed to be centenarians. The explorer congratulated them on their longevity and then proceeded to hand out bright scarves and pieces of colored glass that he'd brought with him.
By his calm behavior Vespucci not only escaped being eaten, but when he finally returned to his ship he was accompanied by an escort of natives, who bade him farewell with great courtesy.
Everybody knows that Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. But the new Continent was not named after Columbus (although there is a South American state called Colombia). The man whose fame the word America proclaims is Amerigo Vespucci.
In fact, the credit for discovering quite a large part of America should go to Vespucci. Exactly how much is uncertain, as historians disagree over precisely where he went, and even over how many voyages he made to the New World. It was once believed that he made four; but only two are certain.
The Amazon discoveredVespucci's first certain voyage began in May 1499. He set out from Cadiz in Spain with a flotilla of four ships under the command of the Spanish explorer Alonso de Ojeda. However, the two men disagreed over their route and so, on reaching the coast of Guiana in South America, they split up, Ojeda sailing northwards and Vespucci to the south. In the course of this journey Vespucci discovered the Amazon, the second longest river in the world, and even sailed some way up it. He continued southwards as far as the cape of La Consolacion, six degrees south of the equator, before turning round to sail back to the West Indian island of Haiti (then called Hispaniola) where he and Ojeda had agreed to meet again for the homeward journey.
It was during this voyage that Vespucci visited Trinidad and had the strange adventure described earlier. He is also said to have had another extraordinary adventure when he landed on the coast of Curacao, to be met by some enormous women well over 6 feet tall. But, as in Trinidad, he was saved by his presence of mind, and managed to make friends of the giantesses and their equally large menfolk.
Disappointment and another voyageArriving home safely in June 1500, Vespucci hoped to set out quickly on a new voyage. However, he found that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain were not interested in financing it, and so he had to wait. Fortunately the King of Portugal was prepared to help, and in May 1501 Vespucci set sail from Lisbon, the capitol of Portugal.
This time he headed farther south than before, reaching the coast of Brazil at Cape Sao Agostinho. He continued down along the South American coast, discovering the river Plate and possibly even going beyond.
The route by which he returned is not recorded. All that is known is that he arrived back in Lisbon on July 22, 1502.
Vespucci's inspirationThis second voyage of Vespucci's was a landmark in the history of discovery. Hitherto, like Columbus, and everybody else, he had believed that the newly discovered land was all part of Asia; and like the rest he had still been searching, above all, for a sea route to the Far East. But during his second voyage Vespucci hit on the truth: he and his fellow-explorers had discovered not Asia but a new continent – the New World, as it became known.
The last 10 yearsVespucci may possibly have made a final voyage, in 1503, for the Portuguese government; but even if he did, nothing new was discovered. Quite soon he went back to Seville, where he was employed in 1505 by Casa de Contratacion de las Indias (Commercial House of the West Indies). His title was Piloto Mayor (Chief Navigator), and his job was to oversee preparations for voyages and to make maps of the New World. He died in the post in 1512.
He starts as a bankerAmerigo Vespucci only went to sea late in life, though this did not prevent him making extremely important discoveries. He was born in Florence in Italy on March 18, 1454, had a classical education, and first appeared in public life when he was sent by the government of Florence on a diplomatic mission to the King of France. This was in 1479, when he was 25 years old. When he came back he went into the bank owned by Medici, Florence's great family of financiers and politicians. He made a success of this career, and in 1492 he was sent to Spain, where the Medici had a business in Seville run by a man called Giannotto Berardi, with whom Vespucci was to work.
The world of explorationBerardi had already helped to prepare Christopher Columbus's first voyage over the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. Vespucci was probably in Spain when Columbus returned from this journey; certainly he helped Berardi to make ready ships for Columbus's second and third voyages. It was in the course of this work that he got to know Columbus personally.
When Berardi died, in 1493 or 1496, Vespucci became manager of the business, and he stayed in Seville until he took up exploring himself.

INDIANAPOLIS — Many physicians in Asia say more information on managing Type 2 diabetes is needed, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly, included 800 doctors from Japan, China, India and South Korea, finding that 79% say the complexity of managing the disease is underestimated. Still, high-qualty, structured patient education can help improve health outcomes for patients with the disease, and 90% said patients and healthcare providers alike would benefit from additional medical information and patient support materials. Additionally, given diabetes patients' higher risk of cardiovascular disease, 94% of physicians said management of cardiovascular risk influenced their decisions when prescribing oral diabetes drugs.
"More than 60% of the world's diabetes population lives in Asia, and physicians treating Type 2 diabetes in this region acknowledge that this is a complex condition," Boehringer Ingelheim corporate SVP medicine Klaus Dugi said. "Despite the numerous challenges Type 2 diabetes can present in the face of rising prevalence, results from this survey show that healthcare professionals in Asia are evaluating the full spectrum of available treatments, dosing regimens, risk factors and co-morbidities to achieve the best possible health outcomes for their patients."
