The Larry Bird era has been underway for 4 seasons now. I have sometimes thought that Larry would be great but then there have been times where I go WTF and wonder about his decision making. (but hey I guess he is just unproven)
But thus far, how would you rate Bird as a GM? Are you comfortable with him leading this franchise?
Lets look at what he has done since becoming the President of Basketball Operations. And i'll note it is kind of hard to judge due to the presence of Donnie Walsh.
- S&T Brad Miller, Ron Mercer for Scot Pollard and Danny Ferry.
Many were upset with this move it seemed. I was not. Brad was going to walk to Utah or Denver but instead we got something for him. I just wish Scot would have been healthy. Even though he struggled for a little bit he was a really good team defender for us. No star but I really liked the big man tandem of Jeff and Scot, I just wish both would have been healthy.
I liked this move. The only complament I have is that we let Hedo get sent to San Antonio and I would have liked to have him. But I guess getting Danny was cutting salary.
Good move to make. Better getting something instead of nothing.
- Fired Isiah Thomas, named Rick Carlise the new head coach.
Loved the move. Easy one to make. IT was not good in the win column. I just keep thinking of what might have been those first two years with Rick as our coach. What if Detroit hadn't gotten Rasheed? What if Jamaal and Jermaine weren't playing hurt against the Pistons in the Conference Finals? What if Taysan Prince never blocked Reggie's layup? For some reason that was a key play that series to me. What if the brawl never happened? Anyhow good move by Bird here.
- Signed Kenny Anderson, Anthony Johnson
Both were solid for us. They played better under Rick than Jamaal. Nice backups. I guess Kenny ended up starting.
- Drafted David Harrison
Wasn't a terrible pick. Although DH hasn't worked out thus far there wasn't much picked after him. Anderson Vareajo maybe. Although I will say I was hoping for Chris Duhon Bird didn't miss out on anyone to good.
Not a good pick. But I can't say I think it was a bad one either.
- Traded Al Harrington for Stephen Jackson
Good move. We needed outside shooting and Al didn't want to be the 6th man. Stephen had just won a championship with the Spurs the year before he signed with Atlanta and was known for hitting big shots.
This really was the season of hell. With the brawl and all. It's to bad.
- Drafted Danny Granger, Erazem Lorbek
Drafting Danny was an easy pick. So good job by Bird for not doing anything stupid. Still waiting to see if Erazem works out or not.
- Signed Sarunas Jasikevecius
I had high hopes for Sarunas. He was bad in the NBA though. I was dead wrong about him and so was Larry. Bad signing.
- Traded James Jones to Phoenix for a 2nd round draft pick
I really liked James, still like him. But we had/have enough forwards so it's always nice to get something instead of letting a player walk for nothing.
- Traded Ron Artest for Peja Stojakovic
Not a good trade talent wise. Ron is much more complete. But so much turmoil surronded him and this team. Peja was equal to him in terms of talent and production but injuries had already taken a toll on Peja. A trade that had to be made though.
- Drafted Shawne Williams and James White
Well I wanted a point guard so bad. Still think that Lowry or Rondo would be nice but it has worked out for the best. Great pick by Bird to take Shawne. Trading up for James pissed me off. Stupid to trade up for a guy that you end up waiving a few months later. Just thankful it was only for a couple of second round picks.
- Traded Austin Croshere for Marquis Daniels
Good move. Austin was a nice veteran but heading downhill. Marquis is very talented and versatile.
- Traded Anthony Johnson for Darrell Armstrong, Rawle Marshall, and Josh Powell.
I like the move. I am dissappointed it didn't work out as well as I had hoped. DA didn't really work out. He played well but never had the impact on the locker room it seemed that I had hoped for. Rawle and Josh were cheap and had some talent.
- Signed Maceo Baston
Good move. I like what Maceo gave us when he played. I would like to see him play 20 minutes for the team we have now. Cheap, solid backup.
- Traded a 1rst round pick for Al Harrington
To me this showed that we wanted to win. We had to add talent after losing Peja for nothing but cash basically. Al didn't really complament Jermaine well when he was here the first time and we should have known this but I think Al was the best opition avaliable.
- Traded Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Josh Powell, for Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, and Ike Diogu
Kind of like the Ron for Peja deal, it had to be made. This looked like an awful trade for us after we miss the playoffs and the Warriors make it as the 8th seed and knock off the number 1 seeded Mavericks. However after naming Jim O'Brien as coach I think it's been a great trade for us.
I think this was a very interesting off season. Pretty much everything we did we wanted to get more athletic. This was obvious which after the trade with the Warriors it made me question Bird.
- Fired Rick Carlise, named Jim O'Brien as head coach
Usually I feel that coaches in the NBA get blamed and fired way to much but this was one that needed to be made. Rick lost the team. It's as simple as that.
However Bird couldn't just go out and hire any head coach. He hired Jim. Who just personality wise does not seem the same as Rick at all. With the players that we have this is a good thing. Now if Larry had hired say Eric Musselman (don't know how you spell his last name) I would have been pissed. But Jim seems like a great hire. And I really like having Dick Harter and Lester Conner as assistant coaches.
- Traded for draft rights to Stanko Barac
We will see if this guy ever contributes for us.
- Signed Kareem Rush, Andre Owens, Stephen Graham, and Travis Diener
I like these signings. One thing I feel this team has lacked is pure shooters. Kareem and Travis can give us some pure shooting. And they are cheap. They have struggled but I feel they will find their shots. Andre is alright, just a 3rd stringer. Same with Stephen. You can't expect to much from third stringers.
I will say that I like what Larry has done. After this past off season I will say that naming Jim as our new coach has been a great hire. And no it's not because we are winning because we are .500 or not even. But Jim is just a fresh approach to the game. I think he is having a real positive impact. I think that the hiring of Jim can make the trade with Golden State work out good for us if Mike Dunleavy can keep up his play and if Ike Diogu can produce for us when he gets back.
Larry had some tough times to deal with. The brawl, the trouble surronding this team. But I like what Larry has done with this team. Sure signing Saras was bad, and trading some second round picks for James White was not very smart I would say that is probably the worst thing that Larry has done.
I'm more comfortable with Larry making the decisions for this team more so then I was before. I just hope he can build on this team and put a winning team together.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Lowe's announced that Larry Stone, president and chief operating officer since 2006, will retire on June 2 -- his 42nd anniversary with Lowe's. Stone has served in virtually every leadership position within store operations, merchandising and store environment during his career.
"After more than four decades of commitment and dedication to the company he truly loves, we knew the day would come when Larry retires and begins the next chapter in his life," said Robert Niblock, chairman and CEO. "He has made many important and lasting contributions to Lowe's during his career. It would be an understatement to say he will be missed."
The company said it does not plan to fill the president and chief operating officer position after Stone's retirement. Niblock and Stone will work together over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition.
Lowe's also announced the following promotions within merchandising, store operations and strategic planning:
- Robert J. (Bob) Gfeller, Jr. – Executive Vice President, Merchandising
- Rick D. Damron – Executive Vice President, Store Operations
- William D. (Doug) Robinson – Senior Vice President, Customer Support Services
- Richard D. Maltsbarger – Senior Vice President, Strategy
Gfeller is replacing Charles Canter, who previously announced his retirement effective March following 37 years with the company. Gfeller most recently served as SVP and general merchandising manager hardlines and building products. He joined the company in 1999 and served as SVP marketing for 10 years before moving to merchandising in 2009. Gfeller has more than 25 years of branding and retail marketing experience, having managed some of the nation's leading brand names and products at The Coca-Cola Company and Nabisco Inc.
Damron has served as SVP of logistics since 2009 and possesses more than 28 years of Lowe's store operations experience, including SVP of the company's North Central and Northeast divisions, and regional vice president Lowe's Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets. Damron also served as store manager and district manager earlier in his career. He replaces Michael K. Brown, who was recently named EVP and chief information officer.
Robinson's promotion to SVP customer support services follows his most recent assignment as VP store operations/special projects, which includes Lowe's customer contact (call) center, flexible product fulfillment and appliance service/repair. In addition, he will assume responsibility for lowes.com.
Maltsbarger, promoted to SVP of strategy, has more than 15 years of experience in strategic planning, consumer and market research, quantitative analytics, enterprise information management, marketing and economic analysis. He most recently served as VP strategic planning. Other positions held at Lowe's include VP research and director of customer analytics. Prior to joining Lowe's, Maltsbarger held various strategy, marketing and consumer analytics positions with IBM Global Business Solutions, Monsanto Company, Farmland Industries and the University of Missouri. He joined Lowe's in 2004.

I have the following problem: I created a dictionary (german) with words and their corresponding lemma. exemple:
"Lagerbestände", "Lager-bestand"; "Wohnhäuser", "Wohn-haus"; "Bahnhof", "Bahn-hof"
I now have a text and I want to check for all word their lemmata. It can happen that it appears a word which is not in the dict, such as "Restbestände". But the lemma of "bestände", we already know. So I want wo take the first part of the word and add this to the lemmatized second part and print this out (or return it).
I coded the following:
- Code: Select all
for limit in range(1, len(Word)):
for k, v in dicti.iteritems():
if re.search('[\w]*'+Word[limit:], k, re.IGNORECASE) != None:
if '-' in v:
tmp = v.find('-')
end = v[tmp:]
end = re.sub(ur'[-]',"", end)
Word = Word[:limit] + '-' + end
But I got 2 problems:
1.) At the end of the words, it is printed out every time "
". How can I avoid this?
2.) The second part of the word is sometimes not correct - there must be a logical error.
However; how would you solve this?

SHOPPERS in Accrington are being urged to be extra vigilant after a pickpocket targeted an elderly woman in the town centre.
The 83-year-old noticed her purse, containing £75, had been taken from her handbag around 12.30pm, on January 10, in Broadway.
Police are investigating and appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
PC Anna Gavela said: "It is possible that someone had deliberately targeted the lady as she had just visited the cash point.
"I urge shoppers to make sure their handbags are securely closed by using the fasteners, and to be extra vigilant and report anything suspicious to the police."
Police advise shoppers to take measures to avoid being targeted. Never leave bags open, or unattended, such as on the back of a shopping trolley, or pushchair.
Handbag straps should be worn across the body, with any flaps facing inwards.

ZAT Knight is ruling nothing out for the rest of the season if Wanderers can remain in their groove at Derby tonight.
After three straight wins, Dougie Freedman's side have started to claw back some ground on mid-table but risen just two places into 17th.
Victory at Pride Park could potentially lift them another two positions – and while many fans are now seeking consolidation in the remaining 12 games, Knight has aspirations slightly higher than that.
"I don't think the pressure is off us at all," he said. "I said a few weeks ago that our main aim is to finish in the top half but you never really know – if we keep winning and teams keep losing, who knows?
"It's a far reach but I've learned never to say never in football. If we beat Derby we'll be closer to mid table and then kick on from there."
The mood in the camp is decidedly more upbeat than it was at the start of the year, when the talk was more about avoiding a relegation battle.
Derby are aiming at automatic promotion, although they lost ground on Burnley at the weekend when they suffered a home defeat to Millwall and the Clarets won their derby duel at Blackburn.
The Pride Park clash has the potential to be a serious test of Wanderers' improvement, and Knight is urging the squad to keep focus.
"We are playing better and looking forward to the game but I don't want to get carried away," he said.
"If we treat every game like a cup final then I've told the lads, you never know what might happen.
"A lot of the top clubs lost at the weekend so if we beat Derby, it brings us a little bit closer to them."

nathanddrews - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI've spent years underpaying for headsets, just "getting by" on whatever $10 special I could get and it was always frustrating. I even got to the point of using my Xbox 360 headset plugged into my controller (plugged in via USB) in order to have a quality mic. I have a massive cranium, so nothing has ever worked that well.
That is until my wife bought me a Logitech G930. It's the best headset I've ever owned, but I've never owned one over $20 before. Reply
KarmaKrissy - Sunday, July 19, 2015 - linkI used a Logitech G930 myself for years. I then took a step up and went for the SteelSeries H after seeing this guide http://www.pricenfees.com/best-gaming-headset.html - definitely more expensive but well worth it IMO if you're a hardcore gamer like me. Don't get me wrong, the Logitech is a steal for when you're on a budget, and is also highly rated in that same list, but it really can't compete with the SteelSeries H (it is wireless, has surround sound, and the mic is retractable unlike many other products) - everything you'd need in a gaming headset. Reply
Sandcat - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkPreviously I used Roccat Kaves, until I learned that 5.1 headphones are a gimmick, and got a set of Audio Technica 700's, and stuck a Zalman mic on them. Soundstage is brilliant, couldn't be happier. Reply
Bull Dog - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI use Roccat Kave 'true' 5.1 Headphones. They are no gimmick, with them I can discern sounds that are coming from behind, from the ones in front of me. I used a couple of pairs of simulated surround headphones once, and I was not impressed. They just didn't achieve the same effect as real surround headphones do for me. Reply
Sandcat - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI agree that they Kave's have 5.1 sound. The bass on them is far greater than the stuff on my ATH-700's, what with the rumble effect and all. I used the same soundcard with both cans. The Kaves have far smaller drivers, so that might have something to do with it, but the sound stage on the 700's blew them away. The Kave's have nice punch, but I have far greater positional accuracy with the 700's. I still have the Kaves and go back to them every once in a while to make sure I'm using the right ones. Every time I confirm my 700's as superior.
I wouldn't simulate 5.1 either, to get a pair of stereo speakers to give surround sound. Instead I urge you to beg/borrow/steal a pair and watch the virtual barber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA to determine how good they are. With your eyes closed. Reply
theNiZer - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI am shocked that you did not include Sennheiser, see: http://en-de.sennheiser.com/gaming-headsets-pc-xbo...

DanNeely - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkSennheiser probably declined to send a review sample. Ad banner revenue isn't high enough to go out and buy hardware to test; so review sites are mostly limited to what the vendors are willing to provide. Reply
Maltz - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI have a Sennheiser headset I've used for roughly 5 years. They are amazingly great. Comfortable to wear for hours on end, good sound, good mic placement so that it picks up you and not the whole room, inline volume and mute, small USB dongle or minijacks... the works! It even came with a thing to wind extra cord around to keep it out of the way. Very well thought out headset. Reply
HOSH - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI have owned the Sennheiser HMD 280-13 Pro DJ/Custom 300ohm headset for 6+ years and they still sound great and I can pick up footsteps behind me in game. It was the only closed surround headset with a mic boom from them back then that was reasonable. It will be picking up a PC 350 and PC 360 or similar series in the next year to replace what I have for gaming. Reply
Cow86 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkInteresting that you find the Steelseries Siberia V2 so bad...I own them, but mine have no USB connection, and no inbuilt audio. So apparerently there are different versions of these... Mine plug directly into my ASUS Xonar sound card, and the audio quality is far superior to my logitech headset that I owned prior. Also very comfortable as you say.
They do have one problem though, that apparently is fairly common with these...build quality isn't so great. In my case the mic has developed a loose connection when extended, so I've had to stop using it as I just don't know if my voice is going through or not otherwise. Good thing I have another mic. Reply
Cow86 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkSorry, I meant Creative headset as what I owned prior...Fatal1ty gaming headset to be precise. Reply
MooseMuffin - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThe mic input on my xonar has some sort of ground loop that transmits an annoying hum to whoever I'm talking to as soon as my graphics card ramps up, and no amount of googling has turned up a solution. I've found a usb mic to be a requirement. Reply
Soulwager - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkHave you tried putting the sound card in a different PCIe slot, and maybe rerouting the cables that provide power to the video card? Reply
Cow86 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkYea, Soulwager has good suggestions here...that's electrical interference, distance can help a lot. Even a few cm's more. I used to get the same with my soundcard being next to my wireless card...except I got hum on the audio output at times. Moving it down a slot fixed it. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkRazer gave away their 7.1 software option for Synapse users. So you don't even need their headphones to get their great 7.1 software.
Don't know why anyone would buy a "gaming headset" when you don't have to. Put that money toward a real set of cans and, if you really must, use the free Razer software to simulate 7.1. Reply
Spoony - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI hunted a long time to find a single headset that combined high quality headphones, a good mic, comfort, and device portability (Mac, PC, Cell Phone). This ended up being way more challenging than I expected.
However, victory was mine in the form of the AKG HSC 271.
These basically combine a good midrange audiophile headset, the AKG K 271 MK II. With a flexible boom electret condenser mic. You then purchase the additional cable (AKG MK HS MiniJack Headset Cable) and end up with the normal 2x 3.5mm 3-pole computer plugs.
The solution is a bit pricey, a bit more than $300. However, you can listen to music happily, VoIP, play games. Talk on your cell phone even with a 2x 3.5mm 3-pole to 1x 3.5mm 4-pole adapter. The adapter is also required for the headset to work with recent Macs which have decided to lose the dedicated 3.5mm input. Doesn't work with iPhones due to voltage issues, works fine with most Android phones.

Website for HSC 271: http://www.akg.com/HSC271-828.html?pid=926
Unfortunately getting your paws on them generally involves going through a distributor and special ordering from AKG. However, it is uniquely positioned to appeal to a certain requirement. Reply
hrrmph - Friday, August 30, 2013 - link@Spoony,
Thanks for the tip. Some of us do appreciate that type of info. Reply
Silma - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkMy own experience is that while there are superior keyboards, most gaming headphones are overexpensive pieces of crap.
- I dealy loved my Sennheiser PC350 but it lasted only 2 years which is unacceptable for the price.
- I highly recommend against Steelseries Siberia xx if you don't have a small head, because of the way it is build your cranium will make the headset make mechanical noises which are extremely unnerving and as an added bonus are very well transmitted by the mic to all your teamspeak/mumble friends.
- I have owned many more, including one of the Creative Fatality with detachable mic - guess what I lost it.
- In the end I went back to basic, used my Audio Technical ATH-M50 monitoring headset, a superb headset for music lovers/producers, plugged into a Roland audio interface, plus a cheap plantronics mic on a plastic stand which is actually very good for voice, it's only default being too near my mechanical keyboard so push to talk is a must. Reply
Silma - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkIf you like music and never ever tried a monitoring headset, I would urge you to in a good hifi store / professional audio store and give it a try. You may rediscover music.
As an added bonus they are very good for games too. Sound is sound and games with great music/sound effects are really nice to hear. Reply
phillyry - Monday, September 02, 2013 - link@Silma with Sennheiser (at least in Canada but I'd think elsewhere too), you can RMA pretty much any set of headphones. If they're in warranty then all you'll pay is the one way shipping. If they're out of warranty then they'll let you pick an equivalent new set [read any new set you want] for 50% off.
I've checked this over with them and it actually makes for a great upgrade incentive. I don't think they can advertise it because that's basically selling new products straight to the consumer and would probably piss off their distributors if they did but it's a great unofficial loyalty program and has kept me happily coming back for more Sennies. Reply
1Angelreloaded - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkIronically My favorite pair of headcans for music is the Bower and Wilkins P5s, but they will cost you an arm and a leg, Sennheiser second for music. Now for Chat based gaming My favorite pair was the Creative Labs Fatality MK2 the only failings were in the mic construction that was flimsy, and I have being delivered a G930 headset to try out, I'm hoping they are good for wireless Audio. Reply
Craig234 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkI can just say a couple things.
One is that year ago - I'm guessing about 10 - I got the Plantronics GamePro 1 headset.
It's great. I can't compare it technically to others, but it's light to wear - I wear it many hours a day, never discomfort - and sound is 'perfectly fine gaming sound' with good directional sound.
I hear (no pun intended) nothing but good things about the mic quality.
They're in the 'I'd be happy to get there again, what else do I want' area, though it's always tempting to look for some amazing sound quality.
Unfortunately, they're also no longer made - the only ones I found in a quick online search were on Amazon for $140, instead of the 'normal' $50 price. I assume there's a replacement?
The lesson from them I guess is that the light, more open style seems to be great to use.
The second thing is that I bought the World of Warcraft headset for $100 or more. Immediately on putting it on, it was sort of heavy and bulky, not that comfortable - naturally things that only get worse, and after wearing them briefly it's a relief to take them off. Unfortunately, the sound quality doesn't do anything to justify the discomfort; and I had nothing but complaints about the mic.
So, they're a $100 loss, worn an hour or two, lesson being the bigger, bulkier headsets have that discomfort issue, and I should have tried to find a way to test them first.
I wouldn't underrate comfort in picking a gaming headset - make it a requirement. You don't need to feel annoyed every time you use them. Reply
jedolley - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThe Razer Kraken 7.1 does have a mute option... There is a button on the mic itself that toggles the mute feature.
As for Synapse, once you create an account you can set it for auto login. Also, the software is also usable offline. Reply
Craig234 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkNot sure why my previous comment disappeared.
About a decade ago I got the Plantronics GamePro 1 - they've been great. Good gaming sounds, I can tell directions. The mic people say sounds great. The biggest positive is comfort.
Unfortunately they're no longer made - $140 now on Amazon instead of $50.
Later I spent $100+ on World of Warcraft headphones. They were immediately uncomfortably bulky. The sound wasn't that good; people said the mic didn't sound good.
Seems to me that the lighter headphones are much better to use - it matters to have the comfort.
I can't compare the audio quality, but as much as I like good sound, I suspect the comfort outweighs having 'great' instead of 'good' sound. Reply
TinCity - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkPicked up a pair of those blue ones on Amazon for a cheaper rate with free 2 day shipping. Here's the deal that I got: http://amzn.to/1lyDifv - Can't wait for them to arrive. The reviews are also awesome. Reply

I wanted to know how many Forum Owners(Other Forums you own) are here in this forum ...
I own 2 Forums .... both running on MyBB Forum softwares....
I made this thread so that we can discuss issues we face with our forums and help each other out...
So, why don't you start with describing one of the issues you face as a forum owner?
1) Spammers : The biggest issue we all webmasters face...every day there are like 10-20 registrations from spammers who try to put a link on either a Post or their profile page.My Solution : I have set a minimum number of posts required before posting a Link in a Post or in the profile website. Also I have added a Random security question which is related to our forums.
Yes There is a decrease...in spam posts but registrations still continue...now i come to know with their usernames that they are spams..
While going around on this forum i found a known spammer who has joined here recently...will not post the username as i am not sure..but am sending u a PM with my doubt about why i feel he/she is a spammer...though she has not yet posted a link neither here nor on my forum
Yes, that's definitely a big problem. And spam bots don't care about minimum requirements, they spam anyway. Do you notice a decrease of spam with these requirements?
I actually don't have any forum on my own. But I am a members of some forums, And one of the forum I joined for almost 4 months? I think, was get to the point of sincerely saying to the users that they are struggling to make things ok for the forum, because of the fact that the forum was attack by so many spammers and I do think that also some hackers because as of now the forums I am telling today was unable to reach because of some harmful malware.
"spam bots" and hackers are all big enemies of forum administrators.
Please read my question...my friend..I do not want answers i want other Forum owners to get on this thread and help each others issues...so inshort..i want forum owners to discuss their issues here...:)
I have a very quiet phpBB2 forum. It was so aggravating to get such a high SPAM to post ratio that I started taking away incentives - then started putting up progressively more aggressive hurdles. It wasn't until I blocked anonymous proxies that the SPAM stopped.
Of course doing something this drastic depends on how much SPAM you're willing to put up with vs. potentially blocking legit registrations and posts.
I am a webmaster of an English website related with construction machinery. Actually, it is the website of our company, i don't own one of myself. I don't think i have enough energy to manage another website, since one has drained up all my energy.
I run various forums myself. have started the one in my signature 6 weeks ago. Always loved running forums, can't say I find another type of a site that's more fun. I also run blogs, but forums work better for me. The biggest issue is with spammers, but these can be stopped too
Second Issue most of us face is getting genuine members posting valuble content and posts to our community...we can drive few friends from here and there like other community,facebook,twitter etc...but u should have a crowd which actually is dedicated to posting...
I own a semi-active custom forum.
My biggest challenge, by far, is deciding which content to allow and which content to delete. I run a sports handicapping forum where a lot of people post nothing but their picks or things like "thanks". I delete all of those posts because I only want quality posts. The problem is that people are constantly pushing the edge by making their posts shorter and shorter, with worse and worse grammar, and by allowing one questionable post I'm starting a slippery slope. It's insanely hard to figure out where to draw the line.
I only get 30-50 quality posts per day, so it's really tough to stand my ground and delete content that I don't deem helpful when I know I could easily have 200 posts per day if I was lax about things.
Ohh can we talk about this?
but these can be stopped too
I've run a gaming forum since 2004. I've used phpBB2, SMF and now back using phpBB3 which is by far the best one yet. I've had massive issues with spam in the past, in fact the only real reason I have changed software is because of forum spam. @Mittineague, definitely upgrade to phpBB3. It's not that hard! it's scary at first but you get use to it They have in-bilt functionality to allow custom sign up fields which are great at stopping spam. (TBH I've thought about just blocking China completely, too harsh? illegal? don't know!)
Recently I've had issues with new members not getting along with a very old member of the forum. The way he comes across to noobs can be "stand-offish", this often happens with older members as they have seen it all and get tired of the same old questions. Has anyone come up with sensitive ways to tackle this issue? I'm sure it comes up a lot around here
Boosting activity: any tips? it's not always easy is it! I find it comes in spurts when new members flood in. The oldies get up and start talking. I know a lot of members come to the forum daily but they just don't say anything or reply that often. What are some incentives you use? has to be some cheap tricks other than post count and "title".
I've not heard a forum of my own but i've been a Super Moderator in most forums. It brings out the best in me and makes me meet new people which is why i love it. I do check out the contents of the forum before signing up. One thing that pisses me off in forums are spammers; which is popular and scammers. I just can't tolerate both of them. If am a moderator in the forum, i give them INSTANT BAN. I just cant understand why some people are to lazy to get their own traffic.
The real big issue is the nasty spammers. I hate these guys. They waste lot of our time. We have a busy forum. Weeding out these spammy idiots take good amount of time. I have limits for posting links. I moderate each registration. I have random questions when people sign up. Still... these spammers keep on trying to register. I have just no idea what these guys are gaining because we would never activate their registrations.
I tried a miniBB forum setup and had to constantly increase the security settings making it harder and harder to sign up in order to block all the spam.
When I set up a BBpress forum instead I had no spam issues at all with just the default settings.

Princess Punt

Published: 2014-05-06, by Peter Warrior.
First at all, don't expect to download, install and play. Once you install it you have to start an additional heavy update download that can take fairly ten or twenty minutes via wifi. You are forewarned.
In exchange, when we thought that it'd be rather difficult to give Angry Birds any more significant twist, here there's Princess Punt. Mechanics are similar to the Birds' about angle and strength, but enemies and scenarios are more varied and there's a simple RPG element that really improves the gaming experience. As you advance stage over stage, you have to equip your hero with new weapons and learn new abilities. Somewhen not too often, massive final bosses show themselves and, if you defeat them there'll be a nice treasure to be looted. If you were defeated you should choose between restarting the whole level or purchase a new chance keeping the items obtained and the damage dealt.
There are even more features that make Princess Punt different from its competitor. Every single stage has five difficulty levels to choose among, you can select the order your teammates are kicked and every of them has a special ability, you can play coins in a slot machine in order to earn gold and prizes, hints are shown every time you move between menu screens and stages and you can share specific feats achieved. All of this makes that this game also incorporates crucial strategy elements.
On the other hand, translation is a little bit odd, gameplay is slow, asks for sharing too often and 'nowloadings' (as are ironically called) are too long. Game's too heavy and though there are hints everywhere, gameplay can be somewhat misleading in the early stages of game.
It's a great game, with many many options, humor, chance, bravery, a lot of stages, tactics, items, cannibal acorns and awesome bosses...the only big, main flaw are those heavy, cumbersome and extremely bothering loadings every time you tap anything before or after each battle.

Did you know?
The Wild Coast is so named both for its untamed natural beauty and its perilous coastline.
Horseback safaris along the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape are one of the most exciting and riveting ways to see this magnificent slice of South Africa's coastline. An absolute must for your Wild Coast holiday, horse riding trails allow you to truly experience this diverse region in all its natural splendour.
Ride for a week, a day, even an afternoon; trace sheer cliff paths for endless ocean views, with whale and dolphin sightings along the way; pause for ship wrecks and ancient shell middens, evidence that the earliest San people once gathered molluscs for sustenance here.
A number of routes, of varying lengths, are available, including beach trails, bush-and-beach packages, and combined beach and cross-country routes. This provides for varying riding conditions, from undulating hills to lofty cliffs, rolling green savannah to coastal forests. All the trails provide ample opportunity for you and your trusty steed to enjoy a cool dip in the ocean.
Almost all the trails pass through small coastal hamlets, bursting with the warm and friendly hospitality for which the Wild Coast is famous. Overnight trails – of up to 14 nights – include stays at these rural retreats which, with their hearty meals and comfortable (if often basic) accommodation, will leave you refreshed and ready for another day in the saddle.
The Wild Coast is steeped in culture and dotted with traditional Xhosa villages that maintain the tribe's customs and rituals of years gone by. Most horseback safari operators include visits to these villages as part of their trails, allowing you to meet the people, immerse yourself in their culture and enjoy a genuine African cultural experience.
The trails cater for all levels of riders, including children and beginners, are conducted by professional guides, and utilise reliable, well-schooled trail horses that are familiar with the landscape and terrain.
The Wild Coast is an exceptionally beautiful area, and in between rides you can enjoy boat rides, beach walks, bird watching, game viewing, fishing and sunset river cruises. There are also a number of backpacking trails in the area.

Best time to visit
The Wild Coast is an all-year-round destination due to its temperate climate. The dry winter months (April to August) are particularly suited to horse riding.
Length of stay
Anything from a weekend to two weeks.
What to pack
As you will be spending much of the time on horseback and outdoors, make sure to pack appropriate riding gear (jeans and boots), a hat and plenty of sunscreen.

Did you know?
Many South African cultures still revere the revitalising and healing powers of mead.
Bees visit thousands of different species of flowers, and make countless combinations of flavours in their honey. For mead-makers, balancing the natural variance in honey with how the mead is fermented and flavoured is both an art and a science.
South Africa has healthy, disease-free bee populations that produce pollen-rich honey. It's this very ingredient, the golden ambrosia of the gods, that is used when making mead, or honey wine.
South Africa's earliest San people pioneered mead production using honey-water mixtures they found in tree hollows. They added the roots of the succulent plant, trichodiadema (common name: African bonsai), to speed up the process of fermentation.
They passed on the secrets of mead production to the Xhosa people in the Eastern Cape.
Dr Garth Cambray, a biotechnologist from the Eastern Cape, has fused African mead-making techniques with modern technology, to delicious effect! His meads, bottled at Makana Meadery outside Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, are organic, sustainable and made with indigenous ingredients.
An international award-winning mead-maker, Cambray has revolutionised mead-making worldwide by perfecting a process that takes the honey must (the mixture of water and honey) to 12% alcohol in only 24 hours. His impressive alchemy can be savoured in the following flavours of mead: herbal, sweet, chilli, coffee, dry and Cape fig.
Hilko Hegewisch was the resident winemaker at the Solms-Delta Wine Estate in Franschoek, Cape Town. His maiden vintage mead, Dik Delta !Karri ('Dik Delta' means 'broad delta' and '!karri' is the Khoisan name for mead), is barrel-aged in seasoned oak, sweetly aromatic with fresh acidity and infused with a hint of rose hip for spiciness. !Karri is only available for tasting at the wine estate.
Mead hobbyists Collin Tedders and Pam Struthers make their honey wine on a mountaintop overlooking the Swartland village of Picketberg in the Western Cape. Their off-dry and golden-hued honey mead is called Faraway Fields, the name of the farm where the winery is situated and a tribute to the West Coast's seasonal spring wildflowers.

Best buys
Makana sells honey and beekeeping products. Faraway Fields also makes organic vinegars (honey mead, red wine and white wine), a mead mustard, and three wines – shiraz, mouvedrè and a private blend – at its on-farm garagiste winery.

Yes! Yes! Yes! The Raw Review (#YYYTRR)
by, 04-29-2013 at 10:54 PM (5539 Views)
For some reason, after the dust had settled on last week's Raw in London, my attention really wasn't on professional wrestling until it occurred to me on this morning that it was Monday, and therefore Raw. I'm not a huge believer in signs or anything like that (the closest I've ever come to believing in destiny was when Liverpool FC won the Champions League in 2005 and it seemed too unreal to be a coincidence), but tonight's Raw was really quite forgettable and I perhaps should have let myself sleep instead of watching it live.
So, no Triple Threat Submissions-only Iron Man match…
Tonight's Raw opened in an obscure way. There was no opening VT, no pyro, and no big introduction to the show (unless Sky Sports just cut into the live feed a few minutes late?).
Instead we got the sounds of Alberto Del Rio's theme song mere seconds into the broadcast, and it soon became apparent that a) Ricardo Rodriguez is determined to earn the moniker of the "Leopard-print Luchador" from me, and b) the corner influences of each superstar involved in the World Heavyweight Championship picture would be competing to see who will decide the stipulation for Extreme Rules.
I'm glad that it will not be a standard Triple Threat match. The other thought I had as I saw "Estampado de Leopardo Luchador" (Leopard-print luchador in Spanish, according to Google Translate – it could be riddled with errors) roll up Zeb Colter for the victory was that no matter who wins this match, it can only be a Ladder match. The connections of all three superstars to a Ladder match are there (they all won World titles through the use of the Money in the Bank briefcase and this rivalry was sparked by Dolph Ziggler's use of MitB to become champion).
The inevitability that this would be a Ladder match aside, this will be a great match if they don't have Ziggler win by having him scramble for a loose championship on the ground again.
My other thought on this storyline (as much as I am enjoying it – maybe because it involves so many people, I can't be sure) is that tonight it got more build than the WWE Championship did. Is that not strange given the fact that the World Heavyweight Championship is regarded as SmackDown's major title?
Are The Shield ever going to get their Tag Team Championship match?
Since WrestleMania, we've seen a lot more of "The Hounds of Justice" in terms of in-ring action, and it can only be a good thing.
Tonight, I'm glad they won their main event match (even more so by pinning John Cena – it helps Ryback and Cena build their rivalry as well as maintaining the 100% record of The Shield as a group), but I wanted to address something I stumbled onto a couple of weeks ago regarding Team Hell No's Tag Team Championships.
I said at the time that I did not want to see what I did, and I still wish I hadn't, but all signs point to The Shield and Team Hell No facing off for the Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules. I only take issue with the fact that WWE hasn't had this addressed more directly.
With Dean Ambrose seemingly being groomed for a singles title run (I do not think his match with Undertaker and his upcoming match on SmackDown versus Kane are coincidence) and Team Hell No very interested in stopping The Shield, the pieces are in place for a Tag Team title match.
I for one would love to see Team Hell No as the sole targets of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a more direct fashion. It could become a more personal rivalry if they angered Kane by doing more than attacking Undertaker, and Daniel Bryan could finally go back to being a singles competitor once they lose their titles.
I also see no downside to having The Shield capture some gold at Bryan & Kane's expense, as it opens up the opportunity for more of Dean Ambrose in singles action – which can only be a good thing.
Given that so little of any significance happened on Raw this week, I decided to look ahead to Extreme Rules. I want to see WWE put more time and effort into their rivalries right now, and with The Shield and the World Heavyweight Championship picture they have two great chances to do so.
The Shield are getting more time since WrestleMania, and it is opening doors for them as well as pitting them against the likes of Undertaker (that in itself has to be an honour so early in a WWE career, even if the "Deadman" is nearing the end of his tether). As for the likes of Ziggler, Del Rio & Jack Swagger, there is enough history tying them all together to go for at least three months in stipulation matches.
Despite Raw being a disappointing watch this week, it did focus on a couple of the storylines which sit lower on the card. If they can make the WWE Championship match more than just a singles match (it's called Extreme Rules, use it WWE!) and do more than show recaps for Triple H/Lesnar, the upcoming pay-per-view could be great.
This week's question is; which member of The Shield do you think will be the first to get a push to either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship and why?

It is one of life's great ironies that the Paris couture shows always coincide almost exactly with the World Economic Forum in Davos. While the latter focuses on the looming issues of the day – the growing gap between the super-rich and pretty much everyone else, for example – the former caters to said super-rich and to their willingness to contemplate €20,000 gowns. It's a stark contrast, in black and white and gold and silver.

Honest Trailers Takes On 'Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen' [Video]
If you were watching tokusatsu shows from 2012, then you probably saw the trailer for Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, a movie where the Japan's two long-lasting supehero franchises clashed in a war that pit heroes on dirtbikes against heroes with giant robots, for the fate of... I don't know, the world? It's usually the world. The trailer wasn't really clear, but it did hint at lasting repercussions for the heroes and a thrilling, high-stakes battle that would pit all your favorites against each other.
That... wasn't quite accurate. I mean, to be fair, it definitely was a war between the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai, meaning that it delivered the bare minimum on what was promised in the title, but other than that, not so much. Fortunately, the crew at Honest Trailers have taken the trailer and made it a little more accurate -- and also made this movie sound way more awesome than the original.

Prospects learning to adjust, but Cubs' bats quiet
Baez doubles, whiffs three times; Alcantara flashes leather in outfield
CHICAGO -- For someone who has never pitched at Wrigley Field before, Jake Odorizzi took advantage of the conditions, which didn't favor Justin Ruggiano.
Odorizzi struck out nine in the first four innings and Yunel Escobar drove in three runs to lead the Rays to a 4-0 Interleague victory over the Cubs on Saturday in front of 36,739 fans hoping to see Javier Baez hit a home run at Wrigley Field.
Baez, one of the Cubs' heralded prospects who was promoted last Tuesday, did double with two outs in the sixth, but also struck out three times. Manager Rick Renteria was encouraged by the rookie's approach.
"He wants to prove to the whole world that he belongs here," Renteria said of Baez. "It's part of the conversations are that, 'You don't have to carry the team on your back, you just have to be yourself. You have a lot of teammates.' I think he'll continue to make adjustments and I think he'll be fine."
Does Baez feel he needs to do more to prove he belongs in the big leagues?
"Not really," he said. "I think I've already proved what I can do."
He hit 23 home runs at Triple-A Iowa before his promotion, and has three in his first five games, although they were on the road in Denver. Baez, 21, has struck out 10 times in 23 at-bats.
"I'm not going to change my approach because I strike out a lot," Baez said. "I have to be patient and get a good pitch to hit."
"[Baez's] at-bats today were visibly more controlled," Renteria said. "I think he was trying to work the pitcher a little bit more. He was very conscientious of his at-bats. In terms of results, I take it one step at a time."
Odorizzi finished two strikeouts shy of his career high of 11, set May 9 against the Indians. The Rays right-hander, who leads all Major League rookies with 136 strikeouts, scattered three hits over six scoreless innings.
"[Odorizzi] was smart," Ruggiano said. "He was using the wind and the field elements to his advantage. He was throwing the ball up in the zone and making us want to swing at it, and if we did, we put it in play in the air and it's not going anywhere today. I watched countless video on the guy, and he's never been up in the zone much, and today I think he had a plan and he executed it."
This series is Rays manager Joe Maddon's first time ever at Wrigley, and he learned about the ballpark's quirks in the fourth. Ben Zobrist hit a ball to right that deflected off Ruggiano's glove and into the ivy. Ruggiano couldn't find the ball, and Zobrist was awarded a ground-rule double. Maddon argued the call, asking the umpires to consider giving Zobrist at least a triple. It didn't matter. One out later, Zobrist scored on Evan Longoria's double. One out after that, Longoria scored on Escobar's single that dropped in front of Ruggiano to open a 2-0 lead.
The 3:05 p.m. CT starts do create problems for right fielders because of the late afternoon sun and shadows.
"I think I should've caught [Zobrist's ball], but between the sun and the wind and the wall, I just kind of alligator-armed a little bit," Ruggiano said.
And Escobar's single?
"I pulled back on it, and after that point, I didn't think I had a play, and I looked up and definitely had a play," Ruggiano said. "It was just a mental mistake by me."
The Rays loaded the bases with one away in the sixth when Zobrist walked and was safe at second one out later on an error by Baez, who dropped a relay throw from third baseman Luis Valbuena. Instead of a double play, Longoria reached on a fielder's choice and Matt Joyce walked to load the bases. Escobar followed with a two-run single.
Cubs starter Edwin Jackson did post his first quality start at Wrigley since May 17 but took the loss, his 12th, and is now 1-5 in his last nine starts. Longoria remembers Jackson from his no-hitter on June 25, 2010, when the right-hander was with the D-backs. Longoria went 0-for-3 with a walk in that game.
"He's as competitive as ever," Longoria said of Jackson. "It seems like he's pitching a little bit more as opposed to just throwing. I saw him throw some really good changeups today, and some breaking balls like the Edwin Jackson that we may have known, or the guy that threw the no-hitter against us a few years back."
That may seem like a long time ago for Jackson, who has posted double-digit losses in three consecutive seasons. This year, he's looking ahead, as are the Cubs. Rookie Arismendy Alcantara made a couple impressive catches in center field, Baez is still getting comfortable, and pitcher Kyle Hendricks has been solid. Yes, the Cubs lost, but there are positive signs.
"We can definitely finish on a pretty good note and show what's to come in the future," Jackson said. "Everyone's high intensity, and that's what it's going to take to win ballgames. We're going to lose some here and there, but we'll continue to battle. Things are definitely headed in a positive direction."

"Some things just make you feel good," says Virginia Beridon.
She tells of attending a wedding re-enactment on the 50th anniversary of her big brother Mike Clark and his wife, Dottie.
It was in Guatemala, and the wedding party "was comprised of the first children Mike and Dottie took in when they opened their orphanage there in 1989.
"The junior bridesmaid, flower girl and ring bearer were children of children that Mike and Dottie raised, provided an education for — and were married by Mike.
"Mike and Dottie were in college when they got married in 1963, and had a very small wedding at her home officiated by her father, a minister.
"Dottie looked beautiful, but did not wear a long white wedding dress then. She made up for it this go-round, and looked wonderful.
"The highlight of the wedding attended by 650 children, friends, former children of the orphanage and their families was Mike singing a special song to Dottie.
"As Mike and Dottie drove away for their honeymoon in a 1946 Kaiser automobile with a giant golden bow on the hood, I couldn't help but feel blessed to see a couple celebrate this milestone surrounded by so many children and adults who lovingly call them 'Papi' and 'Mami.' "
That '57 meteor
Thanks to colleague Ken Duhe for confirming the story about the meteor seen in south Louisiana in 1957.
The March 16 Morning Advocate told the story on the front page, under the headline "Night Sky Riven by Fiery Flashes Likely From Falling Meteor."
The story said the meteor "showered fiery but rapidly disintegrating fragments from one end of Louisiana to another" before plummeting into the Gulf near Marsh Island.
State troopers Norris Deville and H.P. Adams saw the light over Erwinville while patrolling U.S. 190, and said they thought it was two planes colliding.
There were reports of the meteor being seen as far north as Missouri.
Despite all the drama, the Morning Advocate reported that "there were no reports of property damage or injury."
Weighty topic
Ray Schell, of Prairieville, says, "In the Wednesday Advocate the title of an article is 'St. James council weighs land purchase.'
"Nowhere in the article does it say what 236 acres of land weighs."
Puerto Rico North
That may soon be what people are calling Acadiana.
After I mention Thibodaux's new Rougaroux Rum, I heard from Lee Anne Garner about Bayou Rum, a sugar cane rum produced by Louisiana Spirits:
"Expect to see Bayou Rum on store shelves, at restaurants and favorite watering holes by early June.
"Folks traveling I-10 between Lafayette and Lake Charles can drop in at the distillery for a free tour and taste! It's located just off the interstate in Lacassine.
"Guests can also discover our state's history of producing sugar cane rum at the visitor center.
"By the way, our state is the second largest producer of sugar cane in the country, and very little rum is produced domestically. This will change!"
Radio days
Rob Payer says Baton Rouge Magnet High School's radio training program holds its spring fundraising campaign Saturday through March 3:
"Our goal is $75,000, which will cover our operating budget, get us moved back to Government Street, purchase new studio equipment and (you'll be happy to hear) eventually get KBRH back to playing the BLUES!"
He refers to KBRH, 1260 AM, which for years has been Baton Rouge's source for blues and R&B (and my station of choice on the car radio).
The other station, WBRH, 90.3 FM, plays jazz every day but Saturday, when it joins with KBRH to provide an assortment of music, from R&B to Cajun.
Tune in to see how you can help the kids learn the radio business — and continue to provide cool sounds to the listeners.

An important hiring trend underway right now isn't getting much attention in the news. Companies both large and small are riding the economic recovery wave by filling mid- to high-level positions with contract employees. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, no fewer than half of all the professional jobs added in the past quarter were contract, not payroll jobs. And savvy professionals in transition are repackaging and selling their talent—not just their time—on a project by project basis to cash in.
Called "supertemps" by the Harvard Business Review, consulting expert Buddy Hobart, founder and president of Solutions 21, calls them "solopreneurs" and specializes in laying out a clear map for people determined to benefit from this new business model. Hobart, and his team have taken their many lessons learned over the past eighteen years building a successful business and created the Ex3 Matters Consulting Network. Through Ex3 Matters, Hobart takes his research and experience to the front lines, teaching baby boomers, professionals and out-of-the-box thinkers how to take advantage of this new workplace phenomenon.
"It used to be that you traded time for money," said Hobart. "That's changed. Now you trade results for money. Talent is transferable across a wide spectrum of industries and I believe that if you are on that supply side and you have these skill sets, you need to take a hard look at how this whole transaction is changing," he added.
Hobart is the author of three books, including his most recent Gen Y Now, co-authored with ASU Basketball Coach Herb Sendek. He is also host of the radio show "The Consultant's Corner" on The American Entrepreneur.
Hobart is hosting an upcoming presentation in Scottsdale on how this new work model is changing the employment landscape and how professionals can put their experience and expertise to work for themselves. He will be at SkySong, 1475 North Scottsdale Rd., from 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. on May 15 to speak on this growing trend. The presentation is free and includes breakfast.

I want to show popup when client close window and goes to another domain. I am trying to use onunload event but it also gives popup when i refresh the site and goes to any link on my site only. Is there is any way to get that whether it is a refresh event or any working way will help me.
Waiting For reply it's urgent.:(
Hi there,
I've looked in to something like this before, and it isn't possible to tell whether the client is refreshing the page or closing it. The best you can probably do is set a cookie so that people will only see this popup once.
I will also add that unless there is a very good reason to use the onunload event to show a message, it should probably be avoided as it will degrade the user experience and usability of your website. When a user closes your website, they are making a conscious decision about what action they are taking, they are leaving for a reason. When then forcing someone to close an additional popup you are mentally throwing them back a step and creating frustration and maybe even anger with a user.
Simple things like this could be the difference between these users returning to your website or not.
When is your dead line?
No point in me spending time posting a possible solution if your dead line has passed or if you have got a suggestion on another website since your request is "urgent".
The on unload event is too late for you to be able to achieve anything. I think that it it the onbeforeunload event that you are wanting to use.
It is not possible to determine the reason wh the page is loading. It could be because the page is being closed, or refreshed, or a link is being loaded, or they are navigating to another part of your site.
A possibly useful technique could be to monitor the onclick event for when they click on a link to somewhere that is not on your site. If it's to some other site, you can raise a flag that indicates as such, so that the onbeforeunload function can then check that flag and take action if that's the case.
Ya we know that it will irritates the user but we really want to do a survey that why we are do it for a particular time. If I put cookies it will show popup for once but i don't need i hope you understand why..
Hey, thankyou.
If you know the possible answer I am eagerly waiting for it. Sorry for not replying earlier because i was busy for some short of business meeting.
Ya i have tried this event also but how would i know that it's a refresh event? I can possibly do the navigation thing.
That's the difficulty. It's not possible to know if it is a refresh event.
I've been through this exact scenario for a government website a short while ago, they also wanted an exit survey.
I can see if I can find an example if you're not sure of what I mean
Means It's not possible to do so. Hey thanks may be i should go for any other option for doing survey.
I got it what are you trying to say. I also like this idea. See if you can provide me any example that would be great help to me.
I couldn't find the website that initially inspired and figured I'd just quickly mock it up as a wireframe so you can at least get a bit of an idea
Attached to this post is an interactive PDF with wireframes that demo the (very very basic) flow of the survey. (Also available at http://afterlight.com.au/sitepoint/posts/804858-URGENT_Get-the-refresh-event-of-the-browser/SurveyButtonExample.pdf)
Got it..Thanks a lot..:)

DIGGERS have been put to work at the site of a burst water pipe.
Work has began to repair the damaged pipe after it left homes and one of Colchester's main arteries flooded.
Sandbags are still piled high outside affected homes on Maldon Road.
Police were called to a roundabout on Southway in Colchester at 7.30pm on Friday November 23 after reports of a taxi stuck in a puddle.
But when they arrived at they found the area covered with water.
Residents were offered shelter after basements flooded but declined the help from Colchester Borough Council.
Traffic sgt Jason Dearsley said: "There was a taxi with a fare on board stuck in the water.
"We turned up with a 4x4 and had to push the taxi out.
"At the time we didn't know if the water was sewage - it reached up to knee height."
Around 16 homes were affected and road closures were put in place at Southway, Maldon Road, Wellington Street, Balkerne Hill and Maldon Road.
Council officials provided sandbags and were offered an emergency rest centre.
Anglian Water had turned off the water main by 10pm.
It is believed at least some of the homes now have running water.

Forum:Patrolling edits (again)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Remember when patrolling edits was to be the next big deal? Well sadly it seems that either nobody cares or nobody can be fucked doing it.
Proof that no-one is doing it? here (thankyou to Bizzeebeever) it is showing that about 3 active users actually bother to patrol stuff on a regular basis, we're not asking for you to get into the order of thousands, just to patrol something if you see it!
Bizzeebeever even made you guys a javascript to patrol grouped changes 10 times faster and do it in one click if a new article is being created, user is making edit in own userspace, et cetera.
And finally if you choose to undo an edit rather than rollback it, please for the love of god patrol the edit you're undoing when you're done it is not hard and saves the time of others. THANKYOU! ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 06:27, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I actually patrol edits quite often. I haven't been doing so lately because I'm on vacation. When I have time I'll get back at patrolling people's edits.--- TALK What's it like to be a heretic? 08:04, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm... I'm shocked! Bizeebeever has over 6000!!! And I have 5... Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 08:11, 13 June, 2012 (UTC)
An addendum
This link is an excellent place to look for (and FIND) edits by retarded idiots. Please use it, folks. I'm begging. That page shows edits by people who aren't in the auto-patrolled group (that is to say, usually IPs and new users who haven't been around long).
This feature was the brainchild of MrN9000 and PuppyOnTheRadio (both of whom are bastards for not being around any longer). Used properly, it will go a long way towards eliminating stupid edits by the unwashed and prevent the site from being buried under a massive pile of crap.
Once again: please use this link. To repeat what Frosty said: if you revert edits, there is no need to mark them patrolled, because that happens automatically; if you choose to undo edits instead of reverting them, please mark them patrolled. If you need an automated patrol script, stick this line of code in either your <UserPage>/uncyclopedia.js or your <UserPage>/monobook.js file (depending on which site theme you use):
importScript( "User:Bizzeebeever/scripts/patrol.js" )
TOGETHER WE SHALL SMITE THE THE UNREGISTERED ANONYMOUS USERS! Thank you. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, Jun 15 '12 16:06 (UTC)
- That is a cute filter! However, given the state of the wiki, it is no inordinate task to view all recent edits. Repeating a comment from a month ago, Patrolling needs to become smarter--there is no reason why a user's edits inside his own space, or additions to a Forum or a talk page which obviously is going to be read, need to be patrolled. Spıke Ѧ 16:32 15-Jun-12
- PS--Users who deal with an article, such as tagging it with {{ICU}}, especially should mark the edit Patrolled to spare others (meaning Bizzeebeever) the work of reviewing it. Spıke Ѧ 16:46 15-Jun-12
Spike asked me to comment here
While I want to help out as I always have done, I've never really liked these things and often feel that they add more complications and stuff that's unneeded. As Spike has said himself, fewer new people come here and only three people have a strong opinion on this addition. I have no problem with those wishing to use this as long as it no way impedes a free flow of new people having a go at writing an article or trying to make contributions:0)--Sycamore (Talk) 12:31, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Patrolling is useful, as it induces us to catch vandalism more formally and faster. I was on patrol for a little while yesterday and opened a page that you had already disposed of via {{ICU}}. Marking it "patrolled" in some cases would avoid similar inspection by others (read, Bizzeebeever). Spıke Ѧ 12:46 16-Jun-12
- (Or this month, Frosty.) It doesn't needlessly complicate things. In fact, it can show us the edits that are least-likely to be worthwhile, like edits that say "dfhakdjfhkadf" or "hi" or "MICKEY MACDALE IS A GAY GAY FAGGET HIS HOLE FAMILY BLOWS DICKS", and also prevents more than one person from having to review an edit. Time-saver.
- This wasn't originally my idea, it was Pup's and MrN9000's (and Simsilikesims's, too). If everybody uses it, the downward trajectory of the wiki's quality will level off, and "everybody" will only need to inspect a few changes every day to distribute the load. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Sat, Jun 16 '12 14:34 (UTC)

It's easy to see why Bryan Cranston, star of landmark TV drama Breaking Bad, would describe his career as being something of a dream come true.
Though work has always been steady for the 58-year-old, with roles on stage, in TV adverts (including one for haemorrhoid cream), and in the popular comedy series Malcolm In The Middle, it was as terminally ill chemistry teacher-turned-kingpin Walter White in Breaking Bad that Cranston really made a name for himself.
Last year, after five series and five years playing him, he bid adieu to the character, but it's clear that he's still reaping the benefits from being so closely associated with the era-defining show.
He's not "money-motivated", he says, but Breaking Bad means he no longer has to worry about his bank balance, confiding that he "doesn't even know how much [I] make on projects any more".
Money may not be on his mind, but roles are at the forefront. Following such a huge part was always going to be difficult, with fans and Hollywood anxious to see what he'd take on next. Cranston's answer has been to defy expectations, by signing up to the new adaptation of Godzilla.
Though initially "snobbish" about working on a blockbuster, he accepted the part of Joe, a tortured scientist - and father to central character Ford, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson - who makes it his life's work to prove the existence of Godzilla.
"I knew whatever I did next would be compared to Breaking Bad, so I had to be very careful about what I chose," explains the actor, who is smartly kitted out in a navy suit and brown tie.
"Godzilla is a completely different genre [for me]. This can't be compared to Breaking Bad and it's also going to be a surprise to a lot of people, and I like that.
"People might predict, 'Oh, he's going to do this next', and then I go in another direction. It also surprises me and challenges me to do things that are riskier, and maybe not as commercially-minded.
"Certainly, the worst thing I could have done is taken on another character who was like Walter White, or a killer of some sort, because then you are allowing the pigeon-holing to be reinforced," he adds.
Recently, Cranston has been on stage in New York playing former US president Lyndon B Johnson in a production of All The Way (set to continue until next month). The demands of a three-hour performance - he is on stage for most of the acts - means that he regularly has "silent Mondays", using notes to communicate with people so that he can preserve his "voice and energy".
For some, the stage felt an unusual move when every director under the sun wanted him for their films.
"People ask me, 'Why are you doing a Broadway play?'" says the star, who is married to fellow actor Robin Dearden, with whom he has one daughter.
"Six months of my time... I could have done two movies and made a lot more money. It's not about the money. It's about being fulfilled."
Growing up as the son of two actors, Cranston was exposed to the world of performing from an early age, taking family trips to the film studios surrounding Los Angeles, where they lived.
But as a child, he had ambitions to play baseball, and it wasn't until he was already at college that he began to see the appeal of following in his parents' footsteps. "I discovered the girls in the theatre department were much prettier than the girls in the police science department, where I was majoring," he recalls, laughing.
Looking back, Cranston is astounded that we still expect our teenagers to know in which direction they want their careers to go.
"It dawns on me that we ask our 16 and 17-year-olds to be thinking about what they want to do for the rest of their lives, and it's the most ridiculous thing in the world," he says.
Cranston's 21-year-old daughter Taylor is hoping to make her own mark in acting, but her famous father - who dedicated his best actor in a drama award at last year's Screen Actors Guild Awards to Taylor and her mum - is no pushy parent.
"My daughter is still in college," says the star, who also had a role in Ben Affleck and George Clooney's 2012 political thriller Argo. "But it's better not to wear the acting coach hat with her. She needs to find her own way and she has her own acting mentors.
"We talk in a general sense about acting, but I very rarely direct [advice] specifically at her. I'd rather be her dad."
Next up, Cranston hopes that he can take a pew on the director's chair and bring his own screenplay to audiences. So far, the "very personal" project has been met with positive responses from the studios b ut, as he says, "it takes a long, long time to get it to the point where you're actually making the movie."
"The case in point is Argo. George Clooney was already a superstar and his production company who produced Argo tried for six years before they could get it done," he says. "George Clooney. Six years before they could get Argo made!"
Patience might be needed, but it seems Cranston won't be lacking in enthusiasm for his work while he waits.
"I am living my dream, and if I just wrote and directed this movie, that would be absolutely perfect," he says.
After all, he is living proof that work can get better and better.
"The decision to become an actor is not a short-term decision," Cranston reflects. " I would encourage all actors, any artist, to say, 'This is your lifetime'.
"A good wine takes a good time to mature, and so does an artist."
