The method i used was rects. Have a rect per image and have the image follow the rect, and use the rect for collision detection. So i have been peicing together example codes to try to come up with a character that can go left, right, jumpvertical, jump horiztal based on right/left movement, and collision detection with one platform. I got the the movement down good, but then when i started the collision dection things started tweaking out, and i started getting confused on things.
So the problems:
The rect freaks out and jumps up to the top of the screen when i jump on the platform, but yet the image does not follow the rect. While also doing this it pauses for a short moment.
I cant quite seem to figure out gravity. During a jump is fine, but after jumping on the platform, the character continues walking in air as if the platform is there, when its not.
There are short examples online of the ones i found, but i havent really found them helpful. I havent gotten any closer to figuring out what i need to proceed. One example will use pygame.sprite.Sprite while another will just used rects, but both do so without explanation of why they chose that for each. Some people say just learn the sprite method and it will help you in the long run, while others say ignore that and use rects for collision detection and forget about the sprite.Sprite. Very confusing.
Mainly my problem is the fact that normally pygame examples are written so badly. They use globals a lot. They flood the namespace. Which in turns makes me think why am i even using that example if they do those in the first place. The irc for pygame doesnt respond much, the pygame site has apparently been abandoned and blocked from accepting more user registrations. Whereas i could ask a question about lists on here and get an answer in 5 minutes from a few of you, its harder to get answers from others about pygame. Even the pygame tut books piss me off on how they program python
So this is the mashed up code i ended up with. I think i have to jsut redo the thing because its so bad though:

A Different Pursuit
The new SC 365i isn't your father's Pursuit—and we mean that in the best way possible.
When first introduced in 1977 by S2 Yachts, they were called Pursuit Fishing Boats, and they were designed specifically to appeal to the hard-core angler. Leon Slikkers, the founder of S2, had launched the Tiara line a year earlier but, as he said, Tiara—like its royal namesake—played to the upmarket crowd. If the Tiara was a linen shirt and Panama hat, the Pursuit was a Guy Harvey T-shirt and a baseball cap. Where the Tiara was a slim glass of cool Riesling, the Pursuit was a frosty can of Bud.
Not that the Pursuit was built to any lower standards, though. It just had a different raison d'etre. You'd expect to find cocktail napkins in an outside drawer on a Tiara. A Pursuit was more likely to have spools of monofilament.
This wasn't a case of "badge-engineering" as they say in Detroit, where two identical cars are cast for different markets with a change of name badges and upholstery. No, the Pursuit has always been purpose-built from the keel up for the serious fisherman. There's always been such a distinct separation between the two brands that it's easy to forget they are sisters. I mean, who notices that Bentleys are now made by Volkswagen?
But no more.
The new Pursuit SC 365i is what Tom Slikkers calls "a game changer." The 365i still bears the DNA shared with decades of Pursuit outboard fishing boats, but it's clear that she's been hanging with her Tiara sisterships, too.
Earlier Pursuits were single-minded fishing machines. After the weekend, you could hose out the entire boat to get rid of the beer cans and potato chips. Not with this Pursuit. This is a yacht so beautifully finished that she will appeal even to nonfishing spouses. Especially to nonfishing spouses. But that's only part of the story.
Remember when 7-Up tried to compete with Coca-Cola by marketing itself as the un-cola? Well, this is the nautical version of that: the un-outboard. Examine the Pursuit SC 365i from any angle. Walk right up and step on the transom platform. Not an outboard in sight.
Yet this is still the traditional outboard-powered Pursuit, because it has their soon-to-be-patented Integrated Outboard Technology. That's a fancy title for the fact that they hid the outboards.
Not that they were easy to hide though, because this Pursuit is powered by a pair of whacking-great 350-horsepower Yamaha outboards. I hate to give away the ending, but the SC 365i comes so close to 45 knots that you might think about tossing your mother-in-law overboard to get a bit more speed.
When their idea of hidden outboards first surfaced, Pursuit showed their drawings to Yamaha to get their take, and the answer was, "Go for it!" Back in the early '90s, Pursuit was one of the first boat manufacturers to have an OEM arrangement with Yamaha to use their outboards, and that relationship was paying off. Yamaha jumped aboard this paradigm shift: the invisible outboard.
Okay, you say, they hid the outboards. Big deal. But that's just one of many examples of ingenuity and innovation to be found on this, to steal Slikkers's line, "game-changer."
First of all, let's finish talking about the outboards. If you haven't been paying attention, outboards have changed. They are no longer the clunky, smoky, noisy machines of yesteryear. These Yamaha 350s are pure sophistication: 60-degree V-8 big blocks with 32 valves (four per cylinder) and dual overhead cams like you'd find in everything from Ferraris to the LT5 Corvette. People who moved away from outboards can now return without fear.
The way that Pursuit hid these clamp-ons is very well done. A clamshell hatch lifts to reveal the big powerheads, and there's even a little door in the side so you can step right in to pop off the covers and work on them. Your service guys are going to love you, because everything is right there, the engines can be tilted up easily, and there's no balancing act hanging over the stern.
Speaking of the stern, that's another benefit of this design. Let's face it: outboards mess up the transom. There's no way to walk around the back of the boat, and even getting into the water is a matter of climbing over and around engines. Not with this design. Guests can step aboard the swim platform from the dock, walk across the transom, and enter the single-level cockpit through a civilized gate.
Once in the cockpit, this won't be any Pursuit you'll recognize from past iterations. This one is comfy-luxe. A big settee wraps around from the engine cover to just behind the helm seat, and there's a built-in console with a sink and Kenyon grill that make the area an outdoor galley. A fridge is under the helm seat nearby.
But that's only part of the cockpit. Just forward is a wraparound settee that places guests behind the protection of the windshield and under the integrated fiberglass hardtop with a standard sunroof that opens smoothly on rollers. It's a place to keep the skipper company, although there's already a doublewide helm seat for that purpose.
The helm? It's a nice one, molded in cadet blue with room for a Raymarine e125 HybridTouch multifunction display just above the stainless steel wheel. Rocker switches are neatly arrayed in three rows, the Yamaha electronic shifter is just where your hand falls naturally, and there is a very clever fold-down footrest that doubles to raise the sole for when people of lesser stature are standing behind the wheel.
A word about the windshield. It's one piece of curved and tempered glass that nestles into a composite receiver so you'll never face corroded aluminum frames again. The sightlines give the skipper the same "big-screen" view that is on that huge flatscreen TV at home. But, to be picky, the flat dashboard area below the windshield needs to be a dark color, because all that great windshield is ruined with white reflections.
Step below, and you really know you've left PursuitLand and entered TiaraTurf. This cool and contemporary cabin is yacht-like in its styling and finish, with pale anigre joinery and a wash of natural light from ports and skylights.
The galley fills the port side, with a two-burner Kenyon cooktop, an under-counter convection oven, and a big Isotherm fridge. There's ample counter space, as well as overhead lockers and drawers in the console for stowing your utensils and Cheerios. The head is opposite and, once again, yacht-like with its Euro-styled glass sink and an oversized shower compartment separated by a linen closet.
Forward is another clever Pursuit touch: a vee-shaped dinette with a gorgeous wood table that fills the tapering forward area of the cabin to create a comfortable dining area. But that's only during the day. At night, this area has all the surprises of those Transformer movies: the table lowers, the settees unfold on innovative slider/supports, and the area morphs into a comfortable island double berth. But, for anyone who has struggled to convert a recalcitrant dinette table into a night berth, this isn't it. We're talking push here, poke there, and nighty-night.
But lest you think, well, that's it for sleeping quarters, you missed the doorway next to the galley that leads into a full-beam amidships cabin with a queen-size berth that can be split into a pair of singles if desired. This cabin has a settee, hanging locker, and full headroom (in parts).
If you didn't notice it as you strolled through the cockpit, stop and lift the hatch in the sole. Underneath, you'll find Pursuit has moved the traditional lazarette forward and created a useful compartment. In the old days, they would have called this the "electrical flat." Drop into the compartment, which has a full floor above the bilge, and you've not only got immense stowage but many of the ancillary systems for easy access. On our test boat, the compartment easily handled an 8-kilowatt Panda generator, a Charles IsoBoost transformer for shore power, and battery chargers for both the engine and house batteries.
Pursuit innovation didn't stop with the cockpit or the cabin, and the foredeck is worth a browse as well. For one thing, the SC 365i has a through-the-stem anchor and windlass system that cleans up the area and provides a tidy nest for the Delta plow anchor that doesn't require a roller atop the bow. The downside is that, if you aren't a plow-anchor aficionado, a Danforth- or Fortress-style fluke anchor or a Bruce-style claw just won't fit. The horizontal windlass has both a handheld and a switch at the helm for remote operation. Finishing off the foredeck is a recessed area that accepts an optional sunpad with self-adjusting backrests. Pursuit gets points for solid double rails from the cockpit to the bow, as well as sturdy handholds throughout the cockpit and cabin.
Even poking into out-of-the-way nooks, the construction was up to Pursuit's high standards, with vinylester resin in the hull for blister protection and a resin-infused system of structural grids and stringers that tie into the outboard transom for strength. Hull and deck have five-year structural and blister-free warranties.
Underway, the SC 365i was quick and nimble, with the big outboards getting a solid bite from a pair of four-bladed stainless steel Yamaha SDS Saltwater props. Dual Teleflex hydraulic steering cylinders give fingertip steering, and a Type 316L stainless steel tiebar handles the torque of the counter-rotating propellers.
At full throttle, the SC 365i tops out at just over 41 knots, but she'll loaf along all day at 4000 rpm, staying on plane at 22 knots and getting about .8 nmpg.
The standard equipment list is surprisingly complete, including the Lewmar bow thruster and Lenco trim tabs, a full entertainment system that includes an iPad and Apple TV, air conditioning, and generator.
So again, this isn't your Dad's Pursuit, and that's said with affection. But if you're looking for a rough-and-ready fishing machine, you might want to move on. This is an innovative and very likable yacht that should carry you and your family on grand adventures. I was impressed, and I think you will be, too.
Just don't call her an inboard-outboard.

The New York Jets have a dilemma on their hands. The team and organization are expected to clean house and start a rebuilding mode, making trading Darrelle Revis a strong option.
Revis is widely considered one of the best defensive players in the league regardless of position, but he is entering the final year of his contract in which he is due $6 million, after missing all of last season with a torn ACL. Revis' current contract also precludes him from having the franchise tag placed on him.They can either keep Revis through the season, and shell out the coin to resign him, or they can entertain trade offers for the All-Pro. Jets owner Woody Johnson has made it clear that he would like to salvage what they can via a trade. This presents the Jets, who just recently hired new general manager John Idzik, with a predicament.
Revis has always said he wants to retire a Jet, but it is unclear if he will want to stick around during a rebuilding process. A player of his caliber would be best utilized by a team built to win now. However, Revis, who will be 28 next season, will likely demand a huge contract despite coming off a major injury, making him a risk for teams to pursue.
For New York Giants fans curious to know if the Big Blue will be interested in bringing in Revis Island, Inside Football's Pat Traina has an answer.
"If Revis, coming off a serious knee injury, wants to be the highest paid, it ain't gonna happen with the Giants," she tweeted. "Please tweeps, I beg of you… don't start drooling over every possible trade rumor, free agent, etc. that comes up. …"
Those who have watched the moves GM Jerry Reese has made over his career, know trading for a player that will demand a large pay check after coming off a serious injury like Revis' is not something Reese is likely to do. The Giants have enough cap issues, and players including Victor Cruz, and Will Beatty who need to be re-signed.
So Giants fans, if Revis is to be officially put on the trading block, don't expect the Giants to be making any phone calls regarding his availability.

A PROMINENT councillor and a cricket club official have been arrested on suspicion of fraud against Sport England.
It is understood Pierre Oxley, 40, a district and county councillor, and Gary Kirk, 53, vice chairman of Clacton Cricket Club, are being probed over alleged "misappropriation of funds".
There is no suggestion they benefited personally.
It is believed a £50,000 grant from Sport England, received two years ago, should have been spent on a sports pavilion but was used for other purposes.
Both men have told the Gazette they are helping police with their inquiries.
Mr Oxley represents Clacton's St Paul's ward on Tendring Council and Clacton East on Essex County Council.
He was previously vice chairman of Clacton United Football Club and later chairman of Clacton Cricket Club and Clacton Sports Club.
The grant was for Clacton Sports Club, based at Vista Road Recreation Ground, for six mobile floodlights, new showers and pipework at the shared clubhouse.
A spokesman for Essex Police confirmed the men had been arrested in relation to an investigation into allegations of fraud against Sport England.
Mr Oxley has been bailed until October 14 and Mr Kirk until September 16. Neither have been charged.
A spokesman for Sport England said: "We notified the police about the incident and have been assisting them with their inquiries.

If you are reading this, there's a new baby in the world. This feminist has been gestating another little feminist for a while now, and you can take this as an official announcement to the blogosphere that we can add one more to the numbers. While generally I've made an effort to spare you all the musings of a pregnant mama-to-be, I thought that a few reflections on my experience of gender assignment during pregnancy might be the perfect way to announce my maternity leave.
I will say that I didn't expect to hear the question "So do you know what you're having?" during my first trimester. My most common response was that I felt quite confident it would be a baby. As time went on, the question seemed a little more urgent. I got a lot of pressure, prodding, and pleas to find out the sex at our midway ultrasound. We stuck to our inclinations though, and our mystery baby's secret gender identity was maintained by a panicked papa who greeted the ultrasound tech with, "we don't want to know what we're having!" when she entered the room.
Apparently it's "impossible" to get baby clothes if you don't know what the gender of the baby is! I scoffed at first, until my very first trip to a big box baby store. It really is nearly impossible and that shopping trip was the most terrifying consumer experience of my adult life. There is a single rack of newborn clothes in yellow. After that, you are sectioned off by pink or blue…ballet slippers or toy trucks. Needless to say, I have not been back since.
Interestingly, not knowing the gender of our baby led to a fascinating experience throughout my pregnancy. People started volunteering their guesses, citing all sorts of reasons for why they were sure it was a…
These inclinations ranged from "feelings" or just "willing it" to long weeks of observation and consideration based on the most common wives' tales [1]. Some of these wives tales are really quite sexist. Take, for example, #12:
It's a girl if you get acne due to the increased levels of the female charged hormones. A girl steals her mother's beauty. (from the "Empowered Mama [1]" web community)
Beware aging women! The next, younger, sleeker model is out to steal your beauty! Truly, it's enthralling to hear about all the ways we can gender a baby bump! I got so interested, that I started keeping track. I've included some pictures of the charts I'm keeping with people's votes (my dental hygienist even chimed in!) and their reasons. For your reference, the "girl" vote was the clear winner, with a ratio of 25:10. But in this brave new world of gender-inclusive language, growing buy-in for the rights of trans, intersex, and gender-nonconforming people, and daily reminders to break out of the gender box, this mama wonders how important her bump's gender really is?
For the next couple of weeks, I'll be pondering this question while getting to know my newest love affair. These deep questions will (maybe?) arise in the midst of diaper drama and feeding fiascos, so don't expect any clear answers when I return. Until that time, I'm turning over the reins for this blog to the capable skills of Jill Laster, our Language Access Specialist. Her wit is quick, and her questions are hard, so be prepared for some growth while I'm gone!

No I didn't "win it big" in Las Vegas. I know that's always the first question you're asked when you go to Sin City. In fact, I think I spent $1 gambling. I'm not even kidding! LOL! I never win, so why continue to give them my money? I did have a chance dress up a bit.
I was there for blogger business and had to go out to dinner. I wore this H&M little black dress and these great Torrid Black and Blue Color Block Tricia heels (courtesy of Torrid). They're 30% off right by-the-way! These are a wide width shoe that only comes in whole sizes. They were a little big on me. But, I still rocked them. My jewelry is assorted and older. I was thinking about wearing a skinny belt with this dress, but I'm a pretty simple girl and decided it would look too busy for me. This is me…keeping it simple!

Monkey Monkey MonkeyMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
There is a monkey lover called Richard, and he collects stamps of monkeys in a binder. The last time he checked, he had 8351 stamps of monkeys.
One day, he found another 100 stamps. Going to his binder, he found that his stamps were all gone! He suspects these people:
Jeff: The landlord. Loves collecting stamps.
Jack: His brother. Loves stuffed animals, especially monkeys.
Thief: His other brother. A kleptomaniac.
Richard gathered them before him, and asked, "Where are my monkey stamps?"
And here are their alibis:
Jeff: I would love to have your stamps; unfortunately, I don't have them.
Jack: Why would I want your silly 8351 stamps?
Thief: What stamps?
Richard said, "I know which one of you it is, and you had better give them back!"
HintSomewhere in the alibis you will find,
A clue that's really of a different kind.
AnswerIt was Jack. No one else knew Richard had 8351 stamps except himself and Jack.
Jack said, "OK, I'm sorry. I just wanted to get some more monkeys with the money I would have gotten if I sold the stamps."
Richard replied, "Well, look in the newspapers for a job. I think there's one that pays two monkeys per hour."
"Then I'm going to go get me a job!"

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Mitt Romney may still be fighting to win the Republican presidential nomination, but he's also been fielding questions about who he'd choose as his running mate.
The question came up again Friday during a town-hall meeting in Jackson, Miss. While Romney offered no names, he says the Republican Party has many excellent governors, senators and former elected officials.
He said his most important criteria in a running mate would be a person who has shown they can be president.
Romney leads his Republican rivals in the race for convention delegates as the party's nominating contest turns to the Deep South. The former Massachusetts governor was headed to Alabama after his Mississippi stop. Both states hold GOP primaries on Tuesday.

A CLERGYMAN who has been serving the parishes of Storridge, Mathon and Cradley for 26 years is hanging up his cassock.
Rev Mike Vockins is retiring at the end of June from his role as honorary curate to the three parishes, which started after he was ordained at Hereford Cathedral in June 1988.
At the time he was secretary of Worcestershire County Cricket Club, and he combined both roles until he stood down from the club in 2001.
He said: "It has been an immense privilege serving the parishes and people. It's been good fun, getting involved in so many aspects of community life, and our parishioners have been very kind and so supportive, as have the four rectors under whom I've served.
Of his dual role with the parishes and the club, he said: "The diocese was very keen that as well as serving the parishes I should develop a ministry through my work.
"Doors have been opened and opportunities to minister in other situations have arisen which wouldn't otherwise have occurred if I'd been restricted solely to parish ministry."
Mr Vockins, aged 69, also served as rural dean of Ledbury for eleven years, part-time chaplain to Hereford Sixth Form College for four years, and was made a prebendary of Hereford Cathedral in 2009.
But he says retirement will hardly mean he will be idle.
He said: "It's true I shan't have the regular round of services but I shall be continuing four or five other roles within the Diocese.
"Within cricket, I shall still be involved with the England and Wales Cricket Board's major match group and with running the Hornsby Trust, which helps former professional cricketers who've hit difficult times.
"It will be good to have time to watch more cricket at New Road, and there are three or four more books I'd like to write. But, with my wife Eileen, I'm most looking forward to seeing more of our daughters and our four grandchildren. It doesn't seem there'll be much chance of getting bored."
His farewell service is in Cradley church on Sunday, June 29, at 3pm. All are welcome.

Do you like the Harry Potter games and the |Harry Potter books? Well, you're in luck, because the end of the movies and books doesn't mean that J.K. Rowling is done.
In fact, the Pottermore division has conjured up the Book of Spells, a book-video game hybrid, selling for $39.99. Sounds confusing, huh? Well, it's a book, and a game, which features some original writing from J.K. Rowling, as well as activities where you can use spells from the books in a video game, and the release date is unknown. Other than that, things are pretty unclear (and from what I can tell, it seems like fire doesn't actually come out of the book).

Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that
causes intense itching and then a red, raised rash. In severe cases, the rash develops bumps that look like little blisters.
For some people, atopic dermatitis may be a long-lasting (chronic) skin problem that requires more than one treatment. In infants, it usually affects the
cheeks, the front of the knees, and the back of the elbows.
Atopic dermatitis is often called eczema or atopic eczema.

|Information for:
|Campus Communicators
For many small towns, the grocery store is more than just a place to stop in and buy groceries. It is often the center of action and a gathering place for town members to hang out and see everyone. That was definitely the case for Cordova, Alabama. Everything changed when the grocery store, the town's main hub, was wiped out during the tornadoes of April 2011, along with the city hall, police station, the People's Bank and the old Tallulah Bankhead hotel, amounting to almost 90 percent of the town's civic infrastructure.
An EF-3 tornado and an EF-4 tornado produced winds up to 140 miles per hour April 25, 2011 that devastated the town of Cordova, a small town located in Walker County. The tornado outbreak of April 25 through 28 is among one of the most deadly in United States history.
Auburn University faculty members Paul Holley and Josh Emig lead the Master of Integrated Design and Construction Program in designing new buildings for Cordova that would reunite the town and replace more than just the destroyed buildings.
Holley is the Aderholdt Professor in the McWhorter School of Building Science, within Auburn's College of Architecture, Design and Construction and co-director of the Master of Integrated Design and Construction Program. Assistant professor Josh Emig is co-director of Auburn's Integrated Design and Construction Program, a collaboration between The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture and the McWhorter School of Building Science.
The project received support from an Auburn University 2012 Competitive Outreach Scholarship Grant awarded to Emig and Holley. Their proposal, "Integrated Design and Construction Outreach: Cordova, Ala., Long Term Recovery," addressed the critical need served by important public buildings.
The work built on the previous projects of professors Cheryl Morgan and Jocelyn Zanzot, which began looking for a way to rebuild Cordova almost immediately following the storms. Auburn's Urban Studio worked as part of a Regional and Urban Design Assistance Team in the creation of the recovery plan.
Although the work seemed daunting, the professors and students involved were motivated to help the town rebuild. Beth Stukes, chair of the long term recovery committee in Cordova, believes, "the possibility of rebuilding for the future and creating an oasis of community is in reach with the efforts of the professors and students" working on this project.
Student Julian Vida explained, "Being a native of Alabama and having witnessed the destruction of the storms of April 27, 2011, this project is more important to me than any other design project I have been assigned in my education."
The studio was divided into four teams, each in charge of one building including a new city hall, fire station, grocery store and downtown developments, such as a library. Not only were they designing a building, but they were also working on alternative business plans for the companies involved.
Vida and his team worked on a design that would create a personal connection with the citizens of Cordova. About the designs, he said, "I hope I can provide the city and its citizens with a library design that they will embrace as their own and not provide a design that can be put anywhere."
Students brought innovation to their designs by looking at the most cost effective and efficient ways to construct buildings. Emig hoped the plans would find ways to redevelop small town downtown areas, which often are overlooked as strip malls and big box stores are less expensive to build and develop.
The details of the stage of planning done by the group included creating a vibrant downtown area with family-friendly parks for activities, as well as room for economic development. The citizens of Cordova have been involved from the beginning and offered valuable input during the creation of this recovery plan, noted professor Morgan.
The entire project was a collaborative effort with construction management, building design, architecture, community planning and landscape architecture. The students in this phase got to use cutting-edge digital tools of the industry. Emig said all this work brings the progressive thinking of big firms to small towns.
Stukes said, "The students professors Emig and Zanzot have brought to Cordova are an invaluable resource. Fresh consideration and an unbiased vision will prove to be the gate to our future."
An important message, according to Zanzot, is to not forget small towns like Cordova. While larger cities have gotten more media attention and funding, small towns still need help.
However, the work, while difficult, has been rewarding. Vida noted, "A good surprise has been the overall spirit, dedication and forward thinking goals of the citizens of Cordova. It has allowed us to move forward in our efforts knowing that we have the support of the city in our endeavors to provide them designs that will truly help their city."
Zanzot hopes to continue working with Cordova as long as is necessary. Recovery is a long-term process and the work will need to continue long beyond the summer.

It felt really good, but clinching didn't feel that good to me. If that makes any sense. Winning the division in 2010 was surreal to me. 2012 seems destined for so much more.

Trading the currency market is a risky and speculative endeavor, but more than a few individuals manage to make money at it. The fact that many more lose lots of money trading the foreign exchange market, or forex, hasn't dissuaded hordes of would-be traders from trying their hand at speculating. In recent years, social trading networks have sprung up across the Internet that capitalize both on the experts who have mastered forex trading and the investors who want to emulate them.
Social trading networks are part message board and part forex broker. Investors can talk to each other, see what other people are trading, and in some cases, pick master traders to observe and copy. The cool part is that with just a click of the mouse, a novice trader can have an expert's trades automatically replicated in his account.
While it sounds like easy money, there are a few things to be aware of before signing up for an account with a social trading network.
There are several social trading networks, some of which are profiled in today's story, "Social investment networks the new craze? "
Your mileage may vary
First of all: Don't fall for the advertising hype. The potential returns promoted in bold print are hypothetical or may be massaged to reflect the company in the best light.
"I always try to advise traders to approach this from a skeptical perspective. You have to do your own due diligence as you would do with any other product and asset class," says Kathy Lien, managing director of BK Asset Management and the author of several books on trading, including the most recent, "The Little Book of Currency Trading."
Relevant trading data may be omitted by some of the sites, which will complicate or negate historical analysis, according to the site SocialTradingGuru.com. For instance, Currensee leaves off the time stamps of the historical trades by trade leaders and also neglects to include the level of leverage used. Experienced traders and those trying to learn the complex ins and outs of forex trading would like that information in order to analyze the strategy, according to the site.
"They don't provide you with all the historical data of all the traders you can copy and follow. You have to trust the results, and you can't replicate them on your own because you don't know when they closed their trade," says Kurt Festraerts, founder of the SocialTradingGuru.com.
Knowing how much leverage traders use is also an important metric for potential followers. Leverage refers to the amount of borrowed money the trader uses. Outsized returns are often achieved by taking outsized risks.
"It's important to understand the leverage ratio that they are using," says Lien. "Oftentimes when you get a portfolio that has 200 or 300 percent returns, that's often a result of significant leverage," she says.
In picking a social trading network, investors should look for transparency and low fees or reasonable spreads.
Of the social investing networks around now, only Currensee charges a monthly maintenance fee. It requires the highest minimum investment amount as well. Unlike other networks, it doesn't offer a demo account that enables you to try out trades with fake money before speculating with real money.
"They try to market themselves as the Rolls-Royce solution of trading networks. You need more money to invest, and they say the traders on their network go through a more formal vetting procedure," says Festraerts.
"In my opinion, from my experience, I wouldn't say that their traders are that much better or different. Do your own research, and be vigilant. You can't assume that they aren't going to take massive amounts of risk," he says.
Investigate the many free message boards and websites devoted to forex trading, and find out what people who have used the sites have to say about them. Pick one network or try several to see which trading platforms work best for you.
Who to copy?
In the end, the traders you pick to follow will be more important to your bottom line than the network they're on. Look for traders with a long history of success and relatively low risk.
"Take a look at how long these traders have been trading," says Lien. "The websites show the win ratio or the return. Take a look at the period of time this return has been generated. Was it one month? In which case, it might be difficult to replicate. Or did they basically build up their account's equity over time with smaller drawdowns?" Lien says.
"Another red flag: If you see a lot of volatility in a trader's portfolio, that screams higher risk. While I do think the sites are interesting, you do have to do your due diligence," she says.
Festraerts agrees. "You want someone with a long trading history. It's easy to find someone who, in a couple of weeks, has made a lot of money. The key is to find someone with a year or couple of years," he says.
Beyond their experience, look for traders with some skin in the game. "Find people who invest with their own money. On some networks, traders send signals or trade with a demo account. When they are taking high risk, they are not taking it with their own money, only the money of the people who follow them," he says.
Even with someone doing your trading, there's no free lunch: Investors should keep an eye on their accounts. Things can go haywire for any number of reasons.
"Sometimes people you follow do very well when the market goes their way, and then it turns and you see them start to panic, and they start doubling up on their losses, adding more and more to their positions until the account runs out. The key is to avoid picking people who end up doing that," says Festraerts.
To avoid falling down that rabbit hole of empty pockets and broken dreams, take your time to learn about the risk management features the sites offer, and learn how to discern the consistently good traders from a flash in the pan. Remember: Even the best traders lose money, so there's no guarantee of positive returns.
Use it as a learning opportunity
Don't sign up for a social trading network in hopes of making easy money. One of biggest perks of the websites may not be quick returns but education. Investors interested in learning about forex trading can get a front row seat on the way experienced traders work.
"You can sort through and see who the best performers are. You can look beneath the hood and see whether they are short-term traders, long-term traders and the risk profile they take. So I think there's a good opportunity to learn more about (forex) trading in general from these different services," Lien says.
It does require a certain level of expertise. You have to know a little about forex to make sense of everything and to sort through the strategies and trading styles. Rather than expecting easy money, expect to do a lot of work and learning.
"It's not as simple as picking someone based on the amount of money they have made over two, three or four months; you have to know how much they were risking as well," Festraerts says.
Spend a lot of time learning the ropes, and make sure you understand the information the network provides. Most forex brokers offer paper trading or demo accounts to practice trading, and most of the social trading networks do as well.
Once you're ready to get to it, Lien recommends using caution.
"Once you feel comfortable, start small. There are many different trade sizes that you can use in (forex) trading -- anywhere from 1,000 units to whatever your account can afford. You can have the psychological impact of using real money but without putting a large amount of capital at risk. Take advantage of all the resources that brokers offer, including education and research," she says.

Hi,I must have fluid images on my site.It's working nice on home page thanks to jQuery Blueberry Slider: http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/index.htm
But I have huge problem to make fluid gallery page which must have horizontal layout.
My attempts:1. { display:inline;} for div containing image and this script https://gist.github.com/1784053 for resizing. Doesn't work well as inline elements can't have width set. Result: http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids3.htm2. When I use only the script for resizing (https://gist.github.com/1784053) everything works fine but I don't know how to make photos vertical. Result: http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids4.htm3. {display:inline-block;} only doesn't work properly also. Result: http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids5.htm (try to change browser window).
Do you have any idea how can I achieve vertical layout for photos and make them resizable?
What's wrong with the last example exactly? It seems to scale ok in Firefox.
If you want the images aligned top then use vertical-align:top on .cell5.
You alos need to lose the width on header as that is causing a scrollbar as you have 100% + margin.
Thanks Paul O'B for response.Header fixed.In the last example photos don't have the same height...And they should have the same height like here http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids3.htm
Try removing the 67% width from .cell5.
Exactly...Why the width of the photo is constant (449 px)? I think here is the problem.The script uses parent dimension for image and cell5 is inline element and doesn't have width?
Maybe use float...But I don't know the width of container...There will be many pictures.
Hold on, your example 3 seems to be working ok.
The images won't resize as soon as you move the browser window because they are in an element that stretches miles wider than the viewport and won't be affected by the size of the viewport. Once the window is small enough the images start resizing down ok. There is no need for them to resize when they are inside a scrollbox as the scrollbox gets smaller but the content inside stretches outside the viewport.
I don't understand. So why if you resize the browser to for example 80% and when you look at example 3 and without changing size of the browser look at http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/ you will see larger photo on home page? Look than at example 2 and the first photo has good dimensions...but images just aren't horizontal.
The images in the horizontal example have their width based on the box inside the scrollbox. When you close the browser window the box inside the scrollbox doesn't change at all so why should the image scale.
On your home page set the container to a large width.
#container {
clear: both;
padding: 0 0 0 40px;
width: 2000px;
Now resize the browser and the image does not change. This is what happens when you try to put them in your horizontal scrollbox.
There is no need for them to resize because the element holding them doesn't get any smaller. You can still scroll to see the images and when the window is very small your example3 will shrink and seems to work well. I don't see how it could work any differently.
You're right. The slider stopped resizing.
Do you really think there is no other option to make these layouts (heights on home and gallery page) look the same?What about {float:left} for images (problem is width of container)?
The problem is that I'm not sure if the client is going to accept that...
You can do the same horizontal effect with float left but you just give the parent a very large negative margin and the floats line up horizontally.
#ex3 {
margin-right:-32767px;/* browser limit*/
#container3 {
overflow:auto ;
.cell5 {
However the same problem exists in that the inner container never gets any smaller so the image never has anything to scale against.
I guess you could script it so that rather than the parent width you use the viewport width instead.
<script type='text/javascript'>
function adaptiveResize() {
var $w, $target;
$target = $('img');
$target.each(function() {
[B] $w = $('body').width();
$target.css('max-height', $w/2 );[/B]
$(window).load(function() {
$(window).resize(function() {
#ex3 {
margin-right:-32767px;/* browser limit*/
#container3 {
overflow:auto ;
.cell5 {
That seems to have the effect you wanted.
Yes, you are great! But there's still one tiny problem: It looks excellent on larger screen not on 100% window.http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids5.htm
Maybe I should change size of the image to smaller?
It looks pretty good to me at all widths although I guess on larger screens the image gets larger but that's to be expected I would think.
On another matter rather than using the 80% width I gave you it would look better with a m argin instead.
#container3 {
margin: 0 80px;
overflow: auto;
That didn't change the height of images at lower size of browser window.It sill looks excellent for larger screen...rather that for sth like 1200 resolution.Do you think there's any way to fix it?
I'm not sure I understand the problem now lol
The image scales up and down proportionately with the browsers window. Isn't that what you wanted?
What is the exact problem with smaller window widths as it looks the same proportion as larger widths but just smaller. How did you want it to look as I'm not sure I'm understanding the issue?
Whatever, you need will mean adjusting the script anyway. You could try adjusting this value:
$target.css('max-height', $w/2 );
That is using the body width divided by 2 for the scaling factor. Try something like $w * .4 for a smaller image size.
2.3 works like a charm! http://www.projektowaniestronwww.net/photo/kids5.htmThank you very much! But in Opera I can see y scrolling on #ex3 div. It looks good on FF and Safari and even IE!
Opera fixed
#container3{ margin: 0 80px;
overflow: auto;overflow-y: hidden;}
Paul thanks a lot once again
Yes hiding the overflow-y should remove the scrollbar in Opera.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Berger on Sport for Development and Peace
(General Assembly: Statement as delivered by Ambassador Berger in a plenary meeting on Sport for Development and Peace)
"Mr. President, Excellencies, dear colleagues,
the Report of the Secretary-General entitled "Sport for development and peace: mainstreaming a versatile instrument" once again underlined the important role, sport can play in the different areas of development and peacebuilding.
Sports activities bring together people from different regional, cultural and religious backgrounds and help to overcome cultural, linguistic and other barriers. Sports plays a valuable role in contributing to social cohesiveness and rapprochement between cultures and peoples.
Moreover sport programmes can foster social inclusion and help overcome discrimination against, and marginalization of, women and disabled persons. Sports can also help to promote the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals. Sport programmes can support social integration, especially after periods of conflict. For example, those programmes can play a major role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of child soldiers and other youths, an aspect that Germany also follows closely in the Security Council as Chair of the working group on Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC).
We are grateful to the Special Advisor to the SG on sport for development and peace, Mr. Lemke, for bringing together and coordinating the different actors in the fields of sports and development – multilateral actors like the UN entities, national governments, NGOs and civil society organisations. The Office for Sport for Development and Peace plays this key role in connecting people, promoting peace and mutual understanding and in driving the MDGs through sport.
As members of the Group of Friends for Sport for Development and Peace, we clearly see the added value of the Office's work. That is the reason why the German Government decided to support the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace and the United Nations Office for Sports for Development and Peace. The Special Adviser covers sport in all it's dimensions, from major world sport events like the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London, till grass-roots activities in developing countries.
The Youth Leadership Camps developed by UNOSDP is a good example how this cooperation of different actors in achieving the common goal can look like. And it shows how important the work of UNOSDP and the Special Adviser for the development of programmes and the coordination of the different actors is. Germany takes proud in being one of the hosts of the Youth Leadership Camp in 2012.
Germany is proud of having been the main supporter for the office's activities since 2008. Our clear intention is to continue with our support in the future. However, predictability of funding is of utmost importance. We therefore fully support Mr. Lemkes approach outlined in the main lines of action in the report to broaden the financial support.
Germany will organize in May 2013 in Berlin a World Sport Minister Conference, where we would like to welcome member states.
I would like to encourage all Member States that share the same objectives as the Office for Sport for Development and Peace to consider becoming a member of the Group of Friends for Sport for Development and Peace. I am convinced that a large and active group can contribute significantly to achieving the common goals.
Let me finish by thanking the co-facilitators Monaco and Tunisia for preparing the resolution we will adopt today.
Thank you!"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1653 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For regular viewers of PBS's Nature, up-close encounters with the brutality of life in the animal kingdom are nothing new.
Some creatures are predators; some are prey. The survival of one group depends on the failure of the other's skills and instincts, and the manner in which outcomes are determined is bloody and abrupt.
Nature, one might argue, is the original reality-TV series, and the violence that is inherent to its storylines is made palatable by the fact it all falls within a cycle-of-life context.
There's a particular resonance for Canadian viewers in this week's instalment of Nature, Cold Warriors: Wolves and Buffalo. It's an interesting, beautifully rendered examination of the relationship between two of this country's signature wildlife species, filmed in Canada's largest national park.
Cold Warriors follows nature-documentary filmmaker Jeff Turner through a year-long effort to record the movements of one particular wolf pack in Wood Buffalo National Park, which straddles the border between northeastern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
The film opens in the harsh cold of winter, with Turner following a group he calls Delta Pack -- a tightly knit unit of wolves, usually about eight, led by a large alpha male -- as it ranges more than 50 kilometres a day in search of food.
Aided by a helicopter-mounted camera that allows him to trace the pack's movements from above, Turner captures stunning (and sometimes shocking) footage of the wolves as they locate a herd of buffalo and employ shrewd teamwork to force the much-larger animals out of their defensive cluster and into a full-out run across the tundra that exposes the weak and vulnerable to the tireless hunters.
The outcome is predictable; what's fascinating is the precision and shrewd strategy employed by the predatory animals. Turner is absolutely correct in his assertion that capturing footage of the full wolf-pack hunt would be impossible without the aerial views the chopper provides.
With the winter hunt recorded, the filmmaker makes plans to return in spring to see if he can reconnect with the wolves in time for the birth of their spring litter.
He does, and we're offered a much-changed landscape and a very different set of circumstances. The presence of newborn pups puts added pressure on the adult wolves to find food. The buffalo have new offspring, as well -- prime targets for the carnivores, but the herd is much more mobile on solid ground than in deep snow, and the buffalo parents are fiercely protective of their calves.
"In these situations, it's hard to know who to hope for," Turner says over footage of the wolves' pursuit of a mother and calf separated from the herd, "this mother buffalo and her injured calf, or the female wolf with hungry pups at the den."
It is a heart-wrenching sequence.
Turner returns to Wood Buffalo in September to find that Delta Pack's numbers have increased -- the return of several wolves that had wandered away for a time has brought the number to 17, which makes the strategy of the hunt both more complex and more effective.
All in all, it's a compelling collection of footage. If there's a weakness to Turner's effort, it's the short shrift he gives to the impact the continuing development of Alberta's oil sands might have on Wood Buffalo and its inhabitants. He spends a scant few moments near the film's end considering the smog- and toxin-spewing mega-projects, which lie directly upstream of the animals' habitat.
"How will this affect the wolves and buffalo? No one knows for sure," he comments. But surely, the undeniable threat to the park's delicate ecosystem deserves the pursuit of a few answers.
It's the only incomplete element -- but a large, looming one -- in an otherwise well-told story.

Holland's Giant — By Kim Kavin —
May 2004
The Giant Experience
|You'd never guess it, but inside this 247-foot converted icebreaker, the feeling can be downright cozy.
Giant, a black spaniel with white spots, darts up the stairwell and leaps onto the boat-deck companionway. The dog's red-and-gold collar jingles as he races, nails tapping like Morse code as each paw hits the ivory marble.
The 20-pound fluff ball scampers aft and brims with excitement when he sees his Swiss owners, Rene and Brigitte Herzog, standing in the boat-deck saloon. Giant picks up speed, eyes wild with the chase, and skids—splat!—right into a mahogany-veneer wall.
Dazed, little Giant reorganizes his legs, accepts a consoling hug from Brigitte, and prances carefully across the room to the bar. He laps up a few sips from his water dish, then plops down with a grunt on the Argentinean cherry sole, content for the moment with several red-lipstick-clad stewardesses standing nearby, ready to tend to him.
Little Giant's escapade is amusing, of course, but the fact that it took place aboard the 247-foot Giant speaks volumes about the kind of yacht she is. In converting this Dutch-built icebreaker into a luxurious private yacht, the Herzogs managed to create a fascinating dichotomy: an exterior that is jaw-dropping in size and strength, and an interior that feels like a cozy home.
Rene, a former racecar driver, says he got the idea while following the progress of the 170-foot converted tug Itasca as she cruised off Alaska. At the time Rene had built yachts as big as 140 feet (steel with aluminum superstructures), so he understood the cruising limitations some megayachts have. Still, he thought it unfortunate that in at least one environment—ice—Itasca needed assistance.
"I thought, 'Why not convert an icebreaker?'" he recalls. "'Then you can do whatever you want.'"
And so the Giant project began. Rene found the Class I icebreaker in San Diego, then worked with interior designer John Misiag and naval architects at ME Consulting to move steel bulkheads and adapt them to the interior designs. He added a Dutch-built aluminum superstructure to the thick steel hull and refurbished the twin 3,400-hp Smith Bolnes engines—each of which towers two stories tall—along with the three 375-kW Smith Bolnes gensets.
The backup genset on this behemoth is a 200-kW Caterpillar, and her prop is about 13 feet wide. The sheer scope of the conversion helps explain why it took 26 months in Mexico and four more in Italy.
For the interior, Rene knew a boat as big as Giant could quickly become overwhelming in size (witness my tour, which took six hours over two days). His goal was to create grand but smartly scaled spaces that felt comfortable.
A good example is the pair of matching formal dining rooms, each off the main saloon with room for at least 12 guests apiece. "If you have a dining room for 26 people, and you're only eight or ten, it's not cozy," he says. "It's a banquet. It was okay in the time of Onassis: 'I pay—everybody has to go and do what I want.' I didn't want to create that.
"I set it up in a way that even if you're six or eight, you don't feel lonely," he adds. "It's like a big house."

text: i know that a single concave makes the board faster. and i know that a v helps the board turn better. so i have watched videos on boards with just a single and they say that it is fast and it is easy to do tight turns which doesn't make sense to me, i would think it would be fast but kinda stiff feeling. so my question is how do single concave boards ride?

TV Chef Danny Boome's Tips for Living (and Cooking) With Arthritisby Michelle Buffardi in Healthy Tips, March 3, 2012
As a chef who suffers from arthritis, Danny Boome knows the challenges that arthritis sufferers face in everyday life. Danny, a former professional hockey player, host of Food Network's Rescue Chef and correspondent on ABC's The Chew, shared with us some of his tips for living, cooking and eating comfortably with arthritis.
Tips for the Kitchen:
1. To help with arthritis pain and potential flare-ups, a great idea is to look for recipes offering minimal chopping or advanced preparation, so each piece can be spaced out over time.
2. When preparing meals and sides, look to use a food processor or specialty tools whenever possible. A food processor can cut, chop or slice ingredients and can help avoid the arthritis pain usually associated with these tasks.
3. Many stores offer the option of pre-chopped vegetables – an alternative that can help avoid additional kitchen work and cleanup.
4. A stool in the kitchen can be a great help. Cooking can be a long process, and when pain becomes too great, a short rest where you can continue to work can come in handy.
5. Try to eliminate unnecessary bending by storing pots and pans on wall hooks or from pot hangers on the ceiling.
6. To help reduce back and leg pain, use a rubber mat to stand on when you're cooking at the stove.
7. Use a small kitchen funnel to separate egg yolks from the whites. Crack the egg into a funnel which is placed over a glass. When the egg is broken, the yolk will stay in the funnel while the white slides into the glass.
8. If a bottle of sauce requires shaking before use, simply roll it instead. Use your forearm and the weight of your body to roll the bottle if your hands are sore.
9. Use a Lazy Susan to store your spices and canned goods so that you can easily find items without having to move heavy cans.
10. Try a hand-held electric drink mixer instead of a whisk if it is too painful. Mixers are often lightweight and have thick handles.
