Mobile form compatible with file uploads?Asked by CoutureKidsMag on April 29, 2015 at 09:44 AM
we have a contest running are getting feedback that they can not upload the file they get kicked out when that happens. Is this form mobile compatible can they upload the file via phones.
JotForm Support
Our forms should be compatible with all devices and should be mobile ready. I checked your page and it appears as though you have used the regular Javascript embed method. This works in most cases but does leave the form open to conflict with the rest of the page. This can occasionally cause issues with usage.
Try embedding your form using the iFrame embed method instead:
This should allow for your form to work the same as it does normally while embedded to your page.
If this still does not allow your users to upload files to your form, let us know and we will be happy to have another look.

Construction Regulations 2014 have this to say about employees' facilities
According to the South African Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors, Construction Regulations 2014 state that a contractor must, in addition to the construction site provisions in the Facilities Regulations, 2004, provide at or within reasonable access of every construction site, the following clean, hygienic and maintained facilities:
Revealed: How to ensure your site is one step ahead of all the construction regulations changes...
Will you land in hot water when the DoL comes to inspect your site? Or will your site be one of the few deemed 100% compliant?
Here's how to ensure you're always compliant with ALL 26 of your construction regulations...
That's not all Construction Regulations 2014 have to say about employees' facilities
The regulations also state that you (the contractor) must provide reasonable and suitable living accommodation for the workers at construction sites who are far removed from their homes. And where adequate transportation between the site and their homes, or other suitable living accommodation, isn't available.
There are harsh penalties if you don't comply with Construction Regulations 2014
In terms of the regulations, any person who contravenes or fails to comply with any provision of regulations 3 to 30 (of which the above changes fall into), is guilty of an offence and liable upon conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a maximum of 12 months.
If you want to avoid penalties, make sure you comply now you know about requirements for employees' facilities at a construction site.

Renowned columnist from Pakistan, Mehr Tarar, is now one of the most well known faces to be seen tweeting to the Mumbai Police's handle.
And when it concerns the police, it cannot be too good a news. Tarar was seen tweeting on Sunday evening about a man tweeting @Ganeshnoa (Ganesh Aiyer) who threatened that many Indians were waiting to rape Mehr in India.
'Mehr never dre 2 come India. Aftr ur dirty statement, thre r many Hindus eagerly waiting to rape U' read his tweet. The tweet which also tagged Rajdeep Sardesai & Tarek Fatah, was sent on 8.48 pm on January 17.
Disgusting.! That's why women are not safe in India. I insist @MehrTarar must report this.! pic.twitter.com/eTnJsaJkyX
— रतà¥ÂÂÂनपà¥ÂÂÂरिया. (@jimmy9_girl) January 17, 2016
Mehr Tarar (Pic courtesy Mehr Tarar's Twitter account)
While he deleted the tweet on being being tagged with Mumbai Police as well as Mehr by another user Rohan Kadam, Mehr was quick on adding that though the tweet was deleted, the screenshot still remained. She shared the screenshot of the tweet with Mumbai Police too.
This tweet created an uproar on twitter including comments from many people from India as well as Pakistan condemning the tweet. The Mumbai police responded to the Pak columnists ordeal claiming that they had forwarded the message to the concerned authority.
In response to the Mumbai police's response Meher, who was once in news for her links with Shashi Tharoor, thanked the cops for their timely response.
First of all this is not only disgusting and uttely distasteful, very disturbing tweet by the Aiyer guy. By using the word Hindus in his tweet he is somehow indicating that all / many Hindus are rapists; if the country keeps quiet they do prove him right? I know that's not the truth. By similar token, don't bunch all Muslims also into one group of religious nuts.

Neither Javier Fuentes nor Garry Maddox Jr. are prospects. This is simply
an exchange from depth; the Red Sox are short of true outfielders
throughout their system, not just on the major-league level, while Fuentes
will be the oldest infielder at A ball in the Snakes' chain.
The interesting thing about an organizational soldier like Brian Hunter is
that he isn't quite good enough for any other team to claim on waivers. He
isn't old enough to attract the interest of Lou Piniella or the Orioles,
and he can't really play anywhere other than first base, and how many teams
want to make room on their 40-man roster to add a 32-year-old platoon
pinch-hitter? Hunter can refuse this kind of assignment, but why do it?
With the Braves, he's got a great shot at making the postseason roster, and
it isn't like he's hurting his Hall of Fame chances by shuttling between
their bench and Richmond. For the Braves, this is an added bonus in that
they'll potentially have a better DH platoon in the World Series--if they
get there--with Hunter and Wally Joyner, who is at least better than Keith
Lockhart. While Bonilla and John Burkett can leave us shaking our heads,
this is still an improved bench.
Besides being able to fill in adequately at third base if asked, Freddy
Garcia has some right-handed sock and can play some outfield. All of this
almost makes him a better choice than Marty Cordova would have been if
Cordova hadn't been hosed over by the inane decision to let Gary Gaetti go
home when he felt like it, instead of over the winter as 29 major-league
teams had not-so-subtly hinted.
Jeff Liefer still has no defensive value, but with injuries nagging Frank
Thomas and Greg Norton, and the expected eventual move away from 12
pitchers, he'll probably be up after he gets some regular playing time. At
whose expense? Probably the oft-lamented Tanyon Sturtze, although Scott
Eyre's job security isn't so hot either.
Hector Mercado is asked to leave to encourage the optionless Dennis Reyes,
and all so that the Reds can take a trip down memory lane. While I don't
have much use for Charlton, he is coming off of his best season since Bob
Dole lost, and that might be worth something. I could kvetch about the
choice of keeping Hal Morris around over D.T. Cromer, but the difference in
the talent in question isn't that big.
The problem with retaining these broken-down old warhorses is that if the
Reds really do contend this year, somebody's going to have to go once the
inevitable stretch-drive moves get made. I doubt Jim Bowden's got the
stones to pull a Dan Duquette. If it would get him a win, the Duke would
designate his mother for assignment. For all of the bitching and weeping
over cutting Mark Portugal this spring, Bowden might be reluctant to cut
somebody associated, even once upon a time, with doing this franchise some
The Indians have to know this is going to happen, and still don't have
anything better than Bobby Hughes to replace him with. As previously
mentioned, this is still a step up from Chris Turner or Tyler Houston, and
Hughes does give the Tribe a catcher with some limited sock to go with
Einar Diaz, who has none.
This could easily turn out to be one of those "improve despite
yourself" situations, sort of similar to Tony LaRussa's epic choice of
Rob Nelson over Mark McGwire back in 1987, only to have to play McGwire
once Nelson got hurt. That isn't entirely fair to Scott Servais, who unlike
Nelson has had a decent career already. But the Rockies' offense needs real
power, not just Larry Walker and some altitude-generated illusions. Petrick
is the organization's lone prospect who can supply it. Unfortunately, he
comes up during a road trip, so he won't have the advantage of Planet Coors
helping him state his case for sticking around.
Flash back to the Expos of the early 1990s, when Dave Dombrowski's
organization was famed for its talented collection of front-office and
player-development people. People like Gary Hughes, Dan Duquette, Kevin
Malone and Bill Stoneman were all destined to be on short lists for general
manager jobs, but other people would become famous for their contributions:
Indianapolis manager Tim Johnson and his pitching coach, Joe Kerrigan, as
well as John Boles (who had previously worked with Dombrowski in the White
Sox organization) and none other than ex-Devil Rays pitching coach Rick
You go through this list, and you can't help but find that some of these
things are not like the others, some of these things just don't belong.
Some of these people, like Kerrigan and the Duke and Hughes, are rightfully
considered among the best in the business when it comes to coaching or
GMing or scouting. But among the rest, you've got an interesting crew of
baseball lifers, but not the same kind of talent.
I've hemmed and hawed about Dombrowski's place among his peers, and while
it's clear that he once built a great front office that built a great Expos
organization and later a solid Marlins organization, Dombrowski may well be
a victim of his own success. He doesn't have Hughes any more, and the Duke
nabbed Kerrigan as soon as he had the chance. While Dombrowski has some
people he's familiar with, like Boles and now Williams, it will never be
easy to assemble the kind of talent he once had around him, talent which in
turn built his strong reputation.
It makes for an interesting contrast with the Yankees, where Brian Cashman
is generally ridiculed for his peers because he's only one member of The
Boss's organizational management team. Cashman deserves more credit for his
role, while Dombrowski, shorn of his great supporting cast, deserves less.
There's nothing happy about this. The only thing Jorge Fabregas is good for
is Brian Johnson's playing time, although at least Fabregas is a good
catch-and-throw guy. The nicest spin I can put on this is that by getting
to see an awful lot of Johnson and Fabregas, the Royals might be ready to
hand Gregg Zaun a lot of playing time once he's ready to play.
Sold the contract of LHP Terry Burrows to Orix of the Japanese
Leagues. [4/19]
I'm not exactly busted up about ending the Ron Mahay-as-starter experiment
quickly. While Mahay can pitch, his ability to start was far from
established. Mark Mulder was clearly going to be in the rotation at some
point this season, and everyone seemed pretty relaxed about it when he
didn't make the Opening Day rotation. I think we all expect him to take his
lumps, but like Rick Ankiel with the Cardinals, dumping a top prospect into
the fifth slot of the rotation, potentially backed by plenty of run
support, isn't such a bad way to work in a young starter.
The A's have to have one of the weirdest collections of desperate hombres
you'll find in a major-league pen. You've got Mahay with his
"scab" label, retread Mike Magnante, T.J. "They got me for
McGwire" Mathews, reclamation project Jason Isringhausen, creaky old
Doug Jones, and minor-league veteran Jeff Tam. Luis Vizcaino was the only
prospect in the bunch, and he's probably better off starting for Sacramento
so that the organization sorts out whether or not he'll eventually
have to go to the pen.
The remaining six-pack is as clear an indication as you'll find that you
can assemble a decent major-league bullpen about as easily as you can fill
a sack of cats, and if any of them fall out, then they can decide whether
or not Chad Harville or Bert Snow is ready.
While losing Jason Schmidt isn't good news, this was a bullpen that needed
shaking up. Schmidt's future has been the subject of debate: has he been
pushed too hard too young, or not? The combination of never reaching his
perceived potential and the workload he has shouldered so far has to be a
source for concern as he enters the period of a career when you should
normally expect a breakout. For the time being, it looks like the workload
worriers have bragging rights.
In his absence, Jose Parra will step into the rotation after having made
two nice starts for Nashville. He's coming off of a poor year in the
Japanese Central League, but if Pat Mahomes can return to usefulness after
coming up too young, there has to be a reasonable chance that Parra could
be turned into something useful with Pete Vuckovich's help.
Retooling the pen was long overdue. Brad Clontz was almost never really
gone, merely lost on an Arizona adventure for a couple of months, and the
Bucs knew they had a sleeper in Mike Garcia. From the right side, the pen
now features two guys who can pump gas in Garcia and Jose Silva, sidearmer
Clontz for situational matchups and "closer" Mike Williams; the
left-handers are Scott Sauerbeck and Jason Christiansen. That looks like a
much stronger outfit than the one counting on the oft-injured Chris Peters
and the oft-battered Marc Wilkins. Peters will get to pitch himself into
shape as a starter; he could either break down completely or be ready to
nab the fifth spot in the rotation in a month or two, but I wouldn't lay
odds on one happening over the other.
Alan Benes quickly demonstrated that he isn't capable of bouncing back
physically between appearances, which has them reconsidering his move to
the bullpen. The Cardinals are talking about eventually ramping him up to
100 pitches as a starter to see if they can reclaim a career for him. He
might yet turn into a Mike Morgan five-inning starter, and while we all
wish him well, don't bet on it working out any time soon
Gene Stechschulte now has bragging rights; he's one of the few organization
super-closers who actually got to the major leagues, but it will only be
until either Jesse Orosco or Scott Radinsky heals up.
A nice gesture by the Rangers, in that Simms's career is almost certainly
over as he goes in for major surgery. By returning him to the 40-man
roster, they're gifting him with service time and benefits.

Franklin Clinton is the one of the main protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V and appears as a DLC character in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
- Franklin is described as ambitious but perhaps to a fault and very eager to take on new illegal challenges. He is also described as a logical way of showing a young man with a lot of hope, with Dan Houser claiming that this would be a nice contrast from Michael. He also is a person that, even though is being mentored by Michael in crime, mentors Michael in life. This helps build up the Father-Son relationship between the two. Franklin is also much more calmer than both Michael, who has a very short temper, and Trevor, who is practically insane. Though Lamar drives him crazy at times, Franklin still cares for his best friend as he saves him from the Ballas with the help of Michael and Trevor during the events of Lamar Down. He is also the same toward Michael and Trevor as he is seen helping them out with most of their problems, like when Amanda cheats on Michael and he and the latter chase after the tennis coach during Marriage Counseling and when he helps Trevor and Michael hunt down the remaining O'Neil brothers during Predator.

New Papago Park 5K Fitness Trail Angers Park Users, Spurs Upcoming Changes
The new "enhanced 5K fitness trail" in Papago Park in Phoenix, seen here with iconic Hole-in-the-Rock in the distance, has caused anger and disappointment among park users.
Ray Stern
A new five-kilometer fitness trail in Papago Park is drawing outrage from mountain bikers and others who worry the treasured slice of desert in the city has been needlessly ravaged.
After spending $323,000 on the trail without first holding a public hearing, the city is now considering changes following complaints and meetings with concerned citizens, New Times has learned. City officials say the trail project, which began earlier this year, is nearly complete.
Papago resides on about 1,200 acres in east Phoenix and another 300 in adjacent Tempe. The park encompasses the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden, large swaths of hilly desert areas, and two golf courses. It has long been eyed by developers who would love to build a hotel or some other moneymaking venture, but preservationists and longtime park users have so far kept such plans at bay.
The concept of an improved trail system was laid out in the city's 2010 master plan for Papago Park. But the new trail doesn't make for a "seamless transition into the surrounding trail system," as the master plan requires.
Unhappy park users have gathered in a Facebook group launched last month, "Operation: Saving Papago," which now has more than 400 members.
"I just rode some of that 5K monstrosity in Papago on the way home," Facebook user Atlason wrote in a recent comment. "They destroyed a lot of good sections. Looks like those concrete to gravel transitions are a lawsuit waiting to happen! I also saw that water runoff is already beginning to cut into the trail."
Earlier this week, blogger and mountain biker Justin Schmid published a damning article about the new trail on his website, WanderingJustin.com.
The trail is made of decomposed granite, with concrete drainage sections intended to control erosion.
Ray Stern
"Most of the trails on the Phoenix side have been bladed from the singletrack mountain bikers love so much to an eight-foot-wide ... superhighway. The surface is unpaved and covered in loose pebbles. The berms in the corners are also gone, so forget about sustaining any sort of speed into a corner," Schmid writes in the article, headlined "Phoenix Destroys Some of the Nation's Best Urban Mountain Biking."
A brief tour of the area just west of Galvin Parkway verifies the critics' claims. The change in the landscape is dramatic.
The new trail system, which circumnavigates Papago Golf Course and some of the park's lesser buttes, diminishes the natural look of the area. It has a wide surface of stabilized, decomposed granite that's interrupted here and there by concrete-and-rock drainage areas. It is undoubtedly more accessible and convenient to walkers and joggers than the rocky, more-rugged network of old jeep trails and blazed "spider" trails it replaces. But the "enhanced" trail, as the city describes it, is in no way an improvement for trail runners, mountain bikers, or those who seek a desert-like experience.
"I'm a little disappointed. I wish they would have left it alone," observed Melissa, a longtime Papago user who visited the park on Tuesday to walk the new trail for the first time. "There's no challenge to it now. They took my trail."
Another park user preparing for a run said he has mixed feelings about the trail.
"It's cool. I've been out on it," he says, then adds, "I thought it was just fine without it."
Most of the rougher paths and single-track mountain biking trails in the park remain unchanged, and the city has no plans to refashion any more trails for now.
Gregg Bach, spokesman for the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, tells New Times that the agency didn't hold any public hearings or meetings before commencing the trail project because the changes didn't restrict access to the area. Nor was the expenditure required to go before the city council, Bach says.
Asked why the department chose a bladed granite surface that doesn't fit with the desert that surrounds it, Bach says the contrast is intentional, to "help designate" the trail, and also to make it more "sustainable." The concrete sections slow erosion, he adds.
Though the "multiuse" trail is unlikely to accommodate a typical urban wheelchair, chairs equipped with large tires might be able to handle it.

In addition to the new trail, pull-up bars, balance beams, and other fitness apparatus were placed along the trail, some it repurposed from pieces that have been out there for years. Bach says it's a good trail for 5K events and training. The veterans volunteer group Mission Continues helped to build the trail and was one of its first users, holding a ribbon-cutting event and 5K run on the route in April, before the granite surface was in place, Bach says.
"It's also a designated Fit Phoenix trail," Bach says, adding that the program "helps Phoenix be one of the fittest communities in the region."
It's also true that some people have complained about it, he says.
"We've kind of learned here," Bach says, acknowledging that city officials have had "ongoing discussions" with small groups of local mountain bikers. "Some of the enhancements have changed their experience."

The city will likely proceed with some fixes in response to the concerns, Bach says.
"We will create another trail alongside this trail that would be more like what they prefer," he says.
It's unclear whether that would satisfy users who've gathered on the Saving Papago Facebook page. Some want the new trail ripped out. Others are concerned a parallel trail won't work and would involve even further development.
"We're against it," says Amy Engel, a local triathlete who started the page and has helped arrange the meetings with city officials. "We want the trail removed."
Engel and others have pointed out that the trail appears to be poorly constructed, and that it is already cracking and eroding in places.
She plans to publish a petition on the Facebook page that consolidates group members' ideas.
Ryan Cannon, a platoon leader with Mission Continues, says his organization initiated the project as part of its goal to help park users better utilize public recreation areas. The group also thought the city might want to bring in money by holding running events on the trail, he says.
The park has some older, fully paved trails, dirt canal paths, and sidewalks bordering the streets around its perimeter. But in Cannon's view, it needed something more.
He and others from the group noticed the "abandoned" fitness equipment sprinkled around the park and the chaotic network of trails, and they seized on the idea to revitalize the fitness-walk possibilities of the area. He defended the trail, saying these types of "certified" 5K trails can be popular and provide more access for senior citizens.
"We just wanted one trail that was 5K so you could run it, jog it, or use fitness equipment on it," he says. "We wanted to bring more people out."
Mission Continues, which is based in Missouri but has a Phoenix chapter, approached the city's parks department with the idea, and officials moved ahead with it. The group contributed free labor and about $2,000 to the project, Cannon says. Veterans from the group transplanted the old fitness equipment and installed some new features, moved boulders, and performed other trail work.
The decomposed-granite surfacing was done after the volunteer group finished its part, he explains, saying that he isn't sure who ordered the new surface.
Engel spends a lot of time at the park and was doing a training run there in late July when she noticed the new concrete drainage structures. She contacted the city and learned about the project, then launched her activism effort.
Engel says that when she first met with bureaucrats about the issue, "they apologized immediately."
She believes the area can be restored to its original state if the new trail is removed, but that it'll take time.
"We are going to change this DEPLORABLE and DISRESPECTFUL decision made by the city without Public Notice and not following Masterplan that was approved," she wrote on Facebook in late August.
Councilman Sal DiCiccio, through his assistant, tells New Times that from now on, the parks department will solicit public input before making any similar alterations to any trail in the future. He supports the plan to develop a parallel mountain-biking trail next to the new trail.
"While some have expressed concerns over the upgrades on the path, we have also heard that many others are happy with the changes," DiCiccio says. "It is my understanding that aging hikers, recreational users, and members of the disabled community will have better access to the mountain because of these changes. However, making sure that the new trail doesn't exclude any previous users, especially the mountain biking community, is critical."
Meanwhile, Tempe officials announced in May that they would begin addressing a homeless encampment on the 300 acres of the park it oversees, but some park users say that even more trash has accumulated in in Papago since then.
The Tempe City Council has a public meeting scheduled for October 13 to discuss options on dealing with the homeless at Papago.

|Re: Spring bean access from custom validation
|Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:39:30 GMT
If Spring works with validators the way it does with interceptors and actions, which I assume it does, then one way you could do this is to define your validator as a spring bean: <validators> <validator name="aSpringValidator" class="springValidator"/> </validators> springValidator would be the id of your spring managed bean. Then you would inject any dependencies into that spring bean using normal methods, depending on the version of spring you are using, i.e. XML or annotations. I've had issues with auto-wiring on WebLogic so I do things this way.

i had my struggles. It is not by coincidence that i wrote about the "not Why? but How" entry. When crisis comes, it's not the why that needs answering, but the How.
Face with those circumstances, how should i respond? How should i still trust God that He is the creator, that everything has its time, including life and death.
I had my moments. It's so hard to swallow that some left in a sudden and others suffer in pain or illnesses. My little mind can't comprehend all this. Is there really love in hard places? Can love really permeates places where people are oppressed by corrupted leaders?
I am not NOT grateful, meaning i am grateful for the comfort i have, but that's not the point. I don't become happier when i have an apple and you don't. I can't take it in that some can choose steak or roast lamb while some has no grain at all for their whole family.
It is hard when your loved ones just "disappear" from your contact list. They are long gone. The existence just stop.
I wanted to turn my back. I wanted to lead my own life, to pursue my one comfort, success and big bungalow.
The call to follow Christ has becoming harder. Leave behind your loved ones and family and just follow Jesus, He said. But.. but... what about my dad? what about my mum? what about my comfortable bed? What about career? What about money? So and So is earning big bucks, big house.. look at me.. i am just an allied health care.
The prayer that i made 10 years ago has become more difficult to utter, Lord send me.. Lord i am yours.. I will follow you..
Today i asked myself: Really? Can i bear the cost? Am i willing?
It is indeed a challenge to live this short fleeting life on earth without chasing the comfort of this world.
Who cares about tomorrow is what a lot of people say. Who cares whether there is life and death after this life? Who cares about saving money in the bank? Just spend it when you don't even know whether you will live tomorrow.
Hedonists are around us. Feel good is all it matters in this life. The ads, the celebrities are constantly reminding us to become hedonists.Pursue happiness, as long as you are happy, who cares?
The call of Jesus becomes impossible. What? To love those who hurt me? To forgive them? To suffer for Christ?
It is indeed a hard path.
To live this life like there is tomorrow,
to believe that death is an entrance to eternity
to rest in God is love in hard places
to trust God that He will make no mistake
is indeed a challenge.
I am reminded once again that
suffering unite human beings because its universal,
prayer unite our souls because we suffer and hope together
Sufferings and prayers remind me once again that
I am merely a creature.
p/s: pls pray for us. Albert and I will be flying to HK tonight to attend the funeral on 6th of January

We're in the middle of a gay rights revolution in the United States, but that's news to Republicans in Texas.
The party's new draft platform not only denounces "homosexual behavior," it advocates for so-called conversion therapy for gay people.
Just to be clear, this is the same backward, nonsense "therapy" experts have called harmful and presents an increased risk for depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. And, oh yeah, it plain doesn't work.
The Republican Party of Texas won't let a little thing like science and facts stand in the way. The draft platform states:
"Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, in public policy, nor should family be redefined to include homosexual couples. ... We recognize the legitimacy and value of counseling which offers reparative therapy and treatment to patients who are seeking escape from the homosexual lifestyle."
There's that pesky problem with facts again -- homosexuality is not defined by any legitimate medical body as a condition that requires "treatment."
Read the whole draft platform of the Republican Party of Texas here. Don't miss the part where Republicans say they "strongly support a women's right to choose" -- to devote her life to her family.
In the meantime, don't let the Texas GOP get you down. Check out this inspiring GIF of marriage equality in the United States.

Bolivia has 37 official languages -of which Spanish (often called Castellano), Quechua, and Aymara are the main ones. In rural areas, many people do not speak Spanish. Nevertheless, you should be able to get by with some basic Castellano. Bolivia is one of the best places in which to learn or practice your Spanish because of their very clean, deliberate accent. There are many options for studying Spanish in Bolivia, and they are usually very good (often, the program includes a very good homestay component).

This is a guide for honest people. Do you know, the VERO programme does not even contain a specific section for EBOOKS or AUTHORS? How in the world is an honest booklover supposed to check whether or not the DVD collection of 300,000 e-books for Kindle, iPad, Nook etc is really legal?
EBay won't help.
Honest readers certainly cannot rely on the "Notes To EBay" stating that all the ebooks are in the public domain. There are perhaps 38,000 e-books on Project Gutenberg, and most of those really are in the public domain (but some mistakes have been made). If the ebooks are snagged from "online libraries" or "subscription sites" or notorious file hosting sites such as MegaUpload, or The Pirate Bay, they are not in the public domain. An author does not forfeit their legal copyright simply because someone uploads a copyrighted ebook to a "sharing" site.
If the words "All Rights Reserved" are in the front of the book, it is not legal to put it on a DVD and sell it on EBay or any other auction site.
Authors are also seeing a lot of false claims about "GNU licenses". Okay. It is illegal to take out a GNU license on someone else's work without their permission. I got this straight from the owner of the GNU site. So, if you see a DVD being sold, and it is fiction written in the last 100 years, or by a living author, the GNU license disclaimer is probably either misinformed or a bald lie.
Same with PLR and ReSell rights. Think about it. If an author tries to make her living from legal sales of her books on Amazon or Barnes and Noble or any other online seller, why in the world would she give away her copyrights to a competitor on EBay? No matter how reasonable the author, she cannot compete with someone who sells her works for cents, when the least Amazon permits a self-published author to sell her ebook for is .99 cents.
Anyone who can afford to sell multiple copies of e-books written by living authors for less than $2.00 per each book on the DVD (ie $6.00 for 3 novels, $60.00 for 30 novels, $600 for 300 novels, $6000 for 3,000 etc etc) is a copyright infringer and a digital thief.... unless the author herself is selling her own works.
From time to time, authors discover that their ebooks are being illegally sold on EBay as part of a collection (perhaps of 8,000 ebooks, or 16,000 ebooks... or some other preposterous bargain number). Sometimes, EBay takes down the one auction that the author reports, but leaves up the other 5 or 6 identical auctions, and does not touch the 800 previous auctions going back a couple of years. Nor does EBay inform every Buyer who purchased any of those 807 DVDs that the Seller lied, and that the e-books are not in the public domain.
Consequently, EBayers who bought the "public domain" ebooks in good faith will genuinely believe that they also have the right to start their own auctions of the books, and they do. Or, they believe that the books are public domain, so it is legal to share them. It is not.
Occasionally, EBay will throw a pirate off EBay. But, EBay lets them back with new names. If you want to check on the reputation of a Seller, don't look at their Feedback. That is a scam. Click to see All feedback, then look at their past identities. That is a great clue to who is a copyright infringer, and knows it, and EBay knows it, too.
First Sale rights do not apply to e-books... because they are intellectual property, and although you might sell one (legal) original DVD, you cannot duplicate extra copies that were not paid for and sell those.
Here's the thing. The copyright infringement of e-books is not a victimless crime. It is costing vast amounts of money. Sooner or later, prosecutions of downloaders will begin. If you have illegal copies that you bought in good faith, and it is too late to complain to EBay and get a refund, at least do not compound the problem by "sharing" the ebooks, and certainly, do your own research to make sure that every author in your collection has been deceased for at least 100 years before you try to "Resell" the e-books.

From Italy's most beautiful coastline to its most beautiful island: if you are visiting the Amalfi Coast, you shouldn't miss a day trip to Capri!
How to Day Trip from the Amalfi Coast to Capri
There are three ways to get to the island of Capri from the Amalfi Coast:
- Take the ferry to Capri and explore the island independently
- Join an organized group tour
- Book a private boat tour or transfer with a skipper
1 - Visiting Capri Independently
Ferry routes from Positano and Amalfi run from the beginning of April to mid-October. The dates can vary from year to year depending upon the seasonal weather and the date on which Easter falls (which traditionally marks the beginning of the tourist season).
As soon as the ferry companies publish the updated schedules, we post them on this page:
Ferry schedules from Positano - Amalfi to Capri
Generally, during the months of April and May there are two ferries which depart each morning from the Amalfi Coast for Capri and two which return in the evening. During June, July and August, a third ferry is scheduled in the morning for Capri and in the afternoon for the return route.
We suggest booking your ferry ticket online, especially if you are travelling during the weekend or the months of July and August...the high speed ferries are not large and can get crowded! You can also purchase your tickets directly at the port a day or two before you plan to visit.
- You cannot embark motor vehicles on ferries departing from the Amalfi Coast for Capri
- Luggage is allowed on board: one piece of hand luggage is included in the ticket price. There is a surcharge for additional bages.
- Routes may be suspended due to rough seas or inclement weather
- During the winter season from the end of October to the end of March, you must board the high speed or regular ferry from Sorrento. The route between Capri and Sorrento runs all year round.
Once you've arrived on Capri, you can visit the island in a day by following this itinerary:
Capri Day Trip - A One Day Itinerary on Capri
2 - Join a Group Tour of Capri Departing from the Amalfi Coast
Numerous organized group tours of Capri depart from a number of towns along the coast. You can choose between two types of tours:
- Mini-cruises: you depart on a small ferry with a large group, and sail around the entire island before stopping to disembark on Capri to explore by foot. The average price is EUR 35/person.
- Shared Gozzo: you depart on a traditional wooden "gozzo" boat with a small group. You can stop where you like for a swim and there is a large sundeck to relax and take in the view. The tour includes a trip around the island with a stop in Marina Piccola where passengers have the option of disembarking to explore the center of Capri on foot or stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant. Snacks and beverages are included. The average price is around EUR 80/person.
3 - Rent a Private Boat from Positano to Capri
A private boat rental with a skipper is definitely the most unforgettable way to spend the day discovering Capri.
Departing from Positano (or one of the other towns along the coast), you can stop off the Li Galli islets where it is said that Ulysses met the Sirens for a swim before continuing on to Capri. After a stop under the Faraglioni sea stacks, you can have lunch at a seaside restaurant, visit the famous sea caves, and return by way of Punta Campanella and the Bay of Ieranto.
The cost of renting a boat with a skipper depends on the type of boat, but prices usually begin at EUR 600 for the entire day per boat (not per person).
Even if you have a bit of experience at sea, we do not recommend renting a boat without a skipper as the stretch between the Amalfi Coast and Capri can be choppy and windy, so it's best to know the area well. It's also hard to find a spot to moor your boat if you want to disembark on the island if you don't have a skipper.
You can also reach Capri by ferry and rent a boat directly on the island, leaving more time to visit on land and save a bit in comparison to a private boat rental from Postianto.

Not a whole lot going on in our neck of the woods right now... I haven't touched my camera in over a week. Its kind of nice to take a breather after all of the business that Christmas brings. I have slowly started some of my 2013 goals... We have had a few lazy weekends at home... really, not much.
Last week I started my Mondo Beyondo class and I really hope to get a lot of dreaming in for this session. There is a few things in my life right now that I am trying to find answers on... I have some ideas of where I want to go next with these parts of my life, but I haven't really acted on these ideas... for years and years!! Can you imagine that?
I have started to work on some of my 2013 goals... One of these is making my 2009-2012 blogs into books. I am having great success with this by using Jen/Laura's instruction and my goal of getting the 2012 book done in 3 months is laughable now... because, it will take me much less time using Lulu!
This week I start training for my third half marathon. Let me be honest with you. I am not really that excited. I think I am just feeling really lazy lately. I am trying to decide if I want to sign up for the St. Patrick's Day 5 mile race.
We are planning two trips with the kids and that planning is under way! As I have mentioned before, I really want to take the kids to Orlando to see Disney. I cannot believe Nathan will turn 7 before seeing the magic of Disney. But, he will indeed see it at 7 because we are planning an early summer trip! I have been working with Stacey Burns, our travel agent and we will be putting a down payment on the trip later this week. We are going to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with a Savannah view (as in giraffes under our balcony!)... I really cannot wait! We have decided to go with the dining package (which to my surprise does NOT include 3 full meals a day, but OH WELL)... and, we are flying and this will be the kids first trip on an airplane! Wheee! I really cannot wait to book because once we do, we are going to start working with Stacey on our dining reservations... and, I def. want to take Autumn to the castle for breakfast with the princesses and of course the hair salon to get her hair done. I might even get suckered into doing the Disney mail for the kids everyday (darn you Pinterest!).
Our other trip we are planning with the kids is a camping trip to Trout Lodge YMCA. This is really not TRUE camping, but its the only camping I care to do! We are looking into Mother's Day weekend or even Memorial Weekend so we can enjoy the swimming activities. Or, we may just pick a random weekend! I am excited because all the food is included and most of the activities are included too. They have campfires with smores, horse back riding, scavenger hunts, fishing, bike trails, geocaching, hiking, a craft room, ziplining, sailboats, etc., etc.
I have also gotten into a TV show... the first time SINCE my maternity leave with Nathan! I used to watch so many shows pre-kids it wasn't even funny. I miss my shows. So, I have decided I have time for ONE. I decided to start watching Downtown Abbey with Brian and we are hooked even though we did not even see Season 1 and 2. Might need to fix that.
Brian and I have finally gotten around to combining our finances. Yes, that is sad, isn't it? I just had a really complicated way of paying all of my bills and we really had to set aside time to go over how to do it better. Um, so, there was a better way and that way was Mint. Brian is awesome, what can I say? We have budgets and just a so much more rounded way of doing bills now. And, I am happy to give Brian the job of doing them! And, I do have to laugh that yes Brian has a monthly Lowes budget and I have a monthly Target budget. Ahh, whatever works!
I got Brian a 2 lb. bread machine for his birthday, because well... Brian is really into making bread these days. We sort of have too much bread in our house and its a common joke between me and the kids... what is Brian doing? Oh. He's making bread again. Do we really need this much bread?! And, Brian will respond, its my hobby right now, flour is only $3 a bag. Um, ok, whatever. Of course, last night I was craving some fresh white bread and I was sort of shocked when Brian had none. I was a little sad.
This weekend we are planning to paint the Master bathroom. Finally. Long weekend = home project, right?
Nathan finally hit a solid 40 lbs. Yes, it took forever but we are excited to change his car seat over to the next level. Nathan is just so excited. Its the small things in life. :)
What else has been going on? Nathan is starting to work on his Pinewood derby car, Autumn is going to finally be tested through the county for speech therapy on Valentine's Day, Autumn had her 4 year well visit (more on that), we saw Les Mis at the theater and it was amazing perhaps one of the top 3 films I've seen in the theater EVER... Brian is in a weight loss challenge at work and he is #2 so far (there is some serious cash involved if he wins! hee!!)... oh, and, taking Autumn to the mall is still not a good idea (can we say, almost broke 10 coffee cups on a kioske?!)
Hmm. Ok, now I am thinking maybe 'Not much.' isn't a good title for this post as it seems there IS some things going on... well, its still half of what we are normally up to! LOL!

Skype with video calling now available for Apple iPhone
0. phoneArena posted on 30 Dec 2010, 00:56
Hot on the heels of all of those rumors for a 2011 release of an official Skype app with video calling capabilities is the actual release of an official Skype app with said video calling capabilities for the Apple iPhone…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Works great for me. A couple things wrong with it though. For one, it drops video calls when moving from wifi to 3G. This was unexptected since regular voicecalls don't get dropped when switching. The other thing I dont like was that by default it is set to receive a stream but has both cameras off. I had to tap a button and then turn on the camera I want. And I seem no way to change this.
After a few video calls with a couple people I've decided I like Tango the best. Yahoo IM is just as good as skype and fring isn't bad either. But Tango is so far the best FaceTime alternative.
2. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
don't take it bad but ill explain the possible reason for a drop on the video call when using Skype and not on regular calls.
to make regular calls the phone always uses it mobile GSM bands all the times to connect to the network, now Skype uses your mobile data service to connect, now on most devices one connection is active and the other is "sleep" for example when wifi is on then 3G goes to rest. now there is a point when switching from wifi to 3G that actually there is none (really small point) now some apps can continue to work because they have some sort if buffer, it is possible that Skype has not implemented a proper buffer maybe because they though users may want to use either or the other and no switching...
also wanted to ask.
have you tried using Skype video chat with someone on a PC or will only work with mobile phones?

"Through the Looking Glass" is a classic children's story. The Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum characters are comical little characters within the story. In the original Disney movie, Alice in Wonderland, Tweedle Dee and his twin wear matching outfits that can be easily re-created into a child's costume. This costume is ideally paired with another of the same for someone dressing up as Tweedle Dum.
Things You'll Need
- Oversized yellow shirt
- Oversized red pants
- Plastic toy hoop
- White fabric
- Black embroidery ribbon and needle
- Colorful bow tie
- Propeller hat
Sew a plastic hoop into the waist of the pants. This will create a large, round belly similar to that of the Tweedle Dee character. You can do this by hand sewing the hoop in. Sew a few stitches around the hoop, connecting it to the inner portion of the waistband every few inches all the way around.
Sew an oversized yellow shirt and the pants together at the waistline.
Create a collar using white fabric and embroider the name "Tweedle Dee" onto one edge. Cut two oversized triangles out of the fabric and use one triangle for each side of the collar. Sew the triangle pieces onto the neckline of your yellow shirt for the collar.
Add accessories. Tweedle Dee wears a blue bow tie and red hat with a flag coming out the top. Create a similar look by donning a colorful bow tie and wearing a propeller hat.

Cost Still Vexes Savannah Air Travelers
Flights from Savannah rank high on a list of pricey airfares. A new report from the US Transportation Department doesn't come as a surprise to Savannah-area travelers who drive to Jacksonville or Charleston to fly cheaply. The dilemma is partly due to the city's "not-too-small, not-too-big" market size.

Giant Python Wrestles An Alligator In An Epic Battle To The Death
Pythons and alligators are both among the deadliest creatures in the animal kingdom. It can be difficult to say, though, which one is more dangerous than the other.
One man, however, had a front row seat to see these two powerful animals fight to the death to prove which one was superior. It was a battle royale for the ages!
That poor alligator never stood a chance. It's enough to make you wonder, though, why these two reptiles were fighting in the first place!

Returning members: Dues must be paid by the 1st rehearsal of the term.
New members: Dues must be paid by the 3rd rehearsal of the term.
Please speak to the Treasurer for any issues.
It is the responsibility of each member to have the current season's music by the 1st rehearsal of the term. It is also the responsibility of each member to learn his/her part outside of rehearsal time. Markings to the music are given by Maestro Close at rehearsals. It is the responsibility of each member to obtain markings that may have been dictated during a missed rehearsal. At any time, Maestro Close may request a review of the musical program to determine your concert readiness. Make sure you ALWAYS have a pencil with you at rehearsals.
All members must have an email address and access to email to receive and read weekly notes sent by our Administrative Director and Weekly Homework sent by our Maestro, David Close.
Each week you will be emailed Weekly nOtes which will keep you updated and informed about all matters relating to OSQ - important dates, reminders, fundraising events, etc. Carefully reviewing these notes will keep you current.
Each week, the Maestro will email you a list of pieces and selections you need to do to be prepared for the next rehearsal. All members are expected to do that homework consistently and diligently and come prepared at the next rehearsal.
You MUST notify your Section Leader of any absence. Section leader information can be found in the back of this handbook. Any extended absences/vacation must be discussed with the Artistic Director. Excessive absence will result in a discussion of your continued involvement with OSQ. After two (2) absences you may expect to receive a call from your Section Leader. A third absence will result in a serious discussion of your continued involvement with OSQ.
All members are required to be at rehearsals on time. If you expect to be late, please let your Section Leader know ahead of time. Excessive or habitual lateness will result in a discussion of your continued involvement with OSQ.
Each member is expected to sing every scheduled performance, unless an exception is granted by Maestro Close.
Rehearsal tracks are made for the pieces we are performing through our Dropbox account. This service is free to members. You are strongly encouraged to practice online or download the tracks to study the music assigned for each week. While it may take a few weeks to learn a passage well, consistent practice makes the task manageable. YouTube videos of each of the pieces is also made available to all members. Rehearsal CDs can be made for a minimal cost.
Rehearsals are generally fun for most people since our Maestro has such a good sense of humor, but we must never lose sight of the fact that our primary purpose at rehearsal is to learn the nuances of the music, and you should come with the expectation that you will be learning music.
Rehearsal seating is determined at the discretion of the Artistic Director and the Section Leader. This will help achieve better choral balance and benefit members who need support in learning the music.
Each member is expected to attend ALL rehearsals in their entirety. During rehearsal, a member is expected to stay focused on the rehearsal. Attendance is recorded by the Section Leader.
All cell phones MUST be in silent mode - NO texting/messaging allowed.
NO gum chewing.
NO perfume, scented hairspray, aftershave lotion or scented anything.
- Talking during rehearsals is both distracting to the Maestro and to the others who are trying to concentrate on the music. This is something that should be avoided at all costs. If you have a question about the music, wait until the break and contact your Section Leader.
- Occasionally people will make mistakes while singing. Laughing at others when they miss a note is disrespectful and offensive. Keep in mind that they are trying, and we all miss a note from time to time.
- Do not hum your part while another vocal section is being rehearsed.
- Follow along silently so you know where and WHAT David is rehearsing, regardless of the voice part he is working with. Many times the same instruction will apply to your section.
- No eating in the rehearsal seating area (no cookies, no sandwiches, no pizza, no anything). Any type of food consumption must be confined to the platform area or the seating area in the outside lobby. Please clean up after yourself.
- No pork or shellfish products on the premises.

I've never liked kids, they annoy me.
Do you like kids? Why or why not? Be honest please.
Most Helpful Guy
no, they suck.32|12|2
I've never liked kids, they annoy me.
Do you like kids? Why or why not? Be honest please.
no, they suck.
Have an opinion?
I love kids, and often times I like them better than adults. I have no patience for badly behaved kids though, and I find their parents are just as bad.
I'm a teacher so right now I'll just work with other people's kids. I can't wait to have my own child one day.
I don't see the plus side of having kids. At 31, I don't look any different to how I did in my 20s because I haven't had weight gain and sleep deprivation etc to contend with. I have time for hobbies and travel, and most importantly, as I didn't have kids I was able to take the decision leave an area I hated and retrain and move into a different career. Also, people become become boring as hell as soon as they have kids: every facebook update is about the minutiae of little Tarquin's development, rather than anything they did themselves.
There's a pressure from people my age to make all their friends have kids, too- it's along the lines of "I am miserable because I made this life choice and can't go out etc, so you should join me in my misery". No thanks.
This cartoon basically sums it up https://theoatmeal.com/comics/kids
I like most kids when they are in a good mood and having fun, for the most part (though there are some genuinely shitty kids out there who I all around just can't stand).
But I don't have the patience to deal with kids when they are tired or cranky. I find them incredibly frustrating because they are sooooo irrational when they're being moody and you can't blame them for it - that's just where they're at developmentally.
This is why I love being an Aunt but never, ever want to be a Mom.
I love children. Because they're so innocent, they bring a smile on my face. They're cute, adorable and funny. I'd love to have kids to have kids one day.. Will be awesome to watch them grow
I love my daughter and my two little cousins but the kids that are out of control in public i cannot stand.
I love children (who are well behaved). They say what's on their mind and are a lot more clever than we give them credit for. As a disabled person who depends on a wheelchair love the children's questions about my disability and I have great stories of their reaction about what I tell them, I have encountered quite a lot of adults who are rude towards me because of my disability yet very few children who treat me cruely
Depends if they were raised right, which the majority now a days, are reeaallllyyy not.
No, they're always sticky, sick with something, dirty, annoying, and you always have to look after them to make sure they don't accidentally kill themselves.
Not to mention they get worse as they age. I have a strong belief most people aren't bearable until around 18 or older.
Little kids can be annoying, they ask too many questions & are way too honest. But they're sweet. Most of them.
Sometimes I think I can't wait to be older and to be a mom! And sometimes I think they're annoying as hell and I want them to get away from me.
Hell nah! I don't want any either.
i like them but their are some that are so evil and annoying and not very cute
I like kids but I cannot afford them. However since I am a student I am okay with babysitting my family members kids currently because I can send them back.
I like kids. My kids, definitely. (not that I have any yet) Well-behaved kids, I like too.
Rowdy kids that throw tantrums, make a nuisance of themselves, or parents that behave badly, that I dislike tremendously.
I think what's so appealing about kids is that it reminds you of yourself when you were young. It makes you think about the things you experienced as a kid, and how it was good, bad, or can be better. Then you see the kid and you feel like these kids have such endless potential ahead of them, challenges they will need to overcome, adventures they will enjoy, and adversities that sometimes make life really tough.
So kids are very interesting and likeable because of their potential, I think!
Absolutely. Now, I will admit that some people's kids I don't like very much... when they're REALLY misbehaved, kids can be a big pain. However, kids can also be one of the best parts of life, as well. For instance, if they're your own kids, you can sometimes see little things of yourself in them and it's fun to see some of their really unique and funny habits that they have. I can't wait to have kids of my own, some day. Really looking forward to it.
Mostly yes. They're very open to the world and natural in their way of approaching it. Very few of the hang-ups grownups often carry around with them.
But kids are different. Saying I like kids would be like saying I like adults. Some are great, some are a bit obnoxious.
I like them. Because its nice to be able to teach someone about how life is and how they can move forward in it
Yes, I do like kids, they are the most innocent creatures out there.
I like kids, they say the funniest things sometimes! Also so innocent and carefree, reminds me what it was like when I was kid.
Very nice curried and even better with chips...
I don't like them when they cry. I feel like throwing myself from the window and just die. But they are so cute and lovely when they are calm or sleeping.
Kids are absolutely awesome! They have no worries and like lots of things. They have a great imagination and are mostly very funny.
I'd love to have kids later.
Children don't judge, and they treat all people equally, regardless of things like race and gender. That is, unless you teach them otherwise. They are also brutally honest, and I love the fact that most people hate that.
I like kids who have been raised correctly, who know right from wrong.
I hate the little monsters out there though..
Well I don't 'hate' kids... I just don't know what to do about them >.>
Little kids are terrifying. Older ones are just annoying
No they are rotten and kids these days r much worse... They have bigger mouths
I love kids I would like to have kids one day and no matter what kind they'll be I'll love them, watch them grow and everything.
As annoying as they can be, the one big thing that I like about children over adults is that you know where you stand with them with their brutal honesty, unlike adults. Most adults are cowardly two-faced people who are afraid to speak their minds to people's faces in the real world.
No I dont If I did I would like you
