Guest blog by Doug Slaton, workshop presenter
My co-presenter, Zach Doty, and I have been long time computer techs and continually explore any new innovations in technology. We have an unbridled fascination with all the amazing things happening with and on the Internet.
We've followed Bitcoin for about 2 years and when we started seeing other crypto currencies taking off; we decided to get involved with the granddaddy of them all – Bitcoin.
Initially we looked at Bitcoin as just another payment option for our businesses. I still just consider it another way to make it easy for folks to do business with me. Zach though has become interested in the speculation aspect of crypto currencies and has positions in several different ones.
Learning about Bitcoin has been an interesting process for us. When we started to see more and more media coverage we realized the interest level in Bitcoin had expanded from just 'techie' types to your average non-technical person. We also started seeing major companies accepting Bitcoin.
These were some of the catalysts that caused Zach and I to decide someone needed to help get the word out. I started a blog to help out with that here and now we've branched out into Bitcoin workshops in the community.
We saw a need to bridge the gap between 'techies' and non-techies and as early adopters of digital currency we decided we could be that bridge in conjunction with our local library system – Spokane County Library District.
We're not completely altruistic though. We both realize as more people embrace Bitcoin this will create a momentum that will give us more places to spend our Bitcoin and more people that can pay us with Bitcoin.
Many thanks to the forward thinking staff at the Library District for this opportunity. We appreciate their support and think the community will as well.
Check out the blog here or join us for one of our workshops in May. Zach and I look forward to meeting you online or offline.

OK, I'll flesh out my comments below.As an actual storehouse for provisions it's an impractical extravagance. The owners live where some kind of vehicles can get to them. They might like to stock up, but they could do that AND be bear-proof in or next to their house. And they wouldn't be climbing up and down with one load at a time.This looks more like a kids' playhouse.
nice tree hous chook!
I understand how it works now, snooker - once it's stocked with food, the door is closed and the ladder is removed. That way their food is safe from bears etc. Nifty idea! The things you learn on jigidi - thanks for that!
Thanks gnt, good to see you!
It would have a door and the ladder, I believe, would be put up only if you were depositing or removing food.
good set
I guess it's meant to, fodus, but am I right in saying that bears can climb? I guess there must be a door on it, surely!Thanks for your input patsquire and shirley:)
Is this to keep the bears out?
Cute little hideaway, getting the morning sun, Thanks chookies.
What a strange contrast in the new Alaska, chookster, and thanks for showing it to us in such a beautiful picture. A primitive storage system, difficult to get your provisions into, and then back out of. But obviously an expensive manufactured log structure, not one hewn from the surrounding forest. And shipped in to this location by truck, so not an isolated site in the wilderness.

After the Lord delivered Alma and Amulek from prison, they went to preach to the people in the city of Sidom. There they found the believers who had been cast out of Ammonihah, including Zeezrom, who was suffering physically and spiritually because of his sins. When Zeezrom declared his faith in Jesus Christ, Alma healed him and baptized him. Alma established the Church in Sidom, and then he returned with Amulek to Zarahemla. In fulfillment of Alma's prophecy, the Lamanites destroyed the city of Ammonihah in one day. In addition, the Lamanites captured some of the Nephites from surrounding lands. Choosing to follow Alma's prophetic guidance, the Nephite armies recovered the prisoners and drove the Lamanites from the land. During a period of peace, Alma, Amulek, and many others strengthened the Church throughout the land of the Nephites.
Suggestions for Teaching
Alma 15
Alma heals Zeezrom, establishes the Church in Sidom, and returns with Amulek to Zarahemla
To help students remember the main people and events recounted in Alma 11–14, write the following words on the board:
Give students one minute to try to use all the names and words on the board to summarize the events recounted in Alma 11–14. (You might suggest that they refer to the chapter summaries for help.) After a few students have responded, erase all the words except Zeezrom.
Explain that after leaving Ammonihah, Alma and Amulek came to Sidom, where they found the believers who had been cast out of Ammonihah, including Zeezrom. Invite students to read Alma 15:3–5 silently, looking for words and phrases that describe Zeezrom's condition. As students report what they find, write their answers on the board under Zeezrom's name.
Why do you think Zeezrom's guilt led him to suffer both spiritually and physically? What do people in this condition need to do in order for their condition to change?
Whose help did Zeezrom seek? (See Alma 15:4.) Why do you think he sent for Alma and Amulek? (Answers may include that he trusted them and that he knew they were men of God and had priesthood authority.)
Invite a few students to take turns reading aloud from Alma 15:6–10. Ask the class to look for the words Alma said to help Zeezrom exercise faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
Why do you think Zeezrom needed to exercise faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement before he could be healed?
Ask students to read Alma 15:11–12 silently to find out what happened to Zeezrom. When they have had sufficient time to read, erase all the words and phrases on the board under Zeezrom's name.
What evidence do you see that Zeezrom repented and received the Lord's mercy? (He was healed through faith in Jesus Christ, he was baptized, and he began to preach the gospel.)
Write the following principle on the board: Through our faith in Jesus Christ we can be healed and strengthened.
Point out that Alma, as a priesthood leader, did not draw attention to himself. His purpose in this conversation with Zeezrom was to help Zeezrom exercise faith in Jesus Christ and to receive mercy through the Atonement. To illustrate one way our priesthood leaders help us receive the blessings of the Atonement, read the following experience shared by Elder Jay E. Jensen of the Seventy:
"While serving as a bishop, I witnessed the blessings of the Atonement in the lives of Church members who committed serious transgressions. …
"A young single adult in our ward was dating a young woman. They allowed their affections to get out of control. He came to me for counsel and help. Based on what was confessed and the impressions of the Spirit to me, among other things, he was not permitted to partake of the sacrament for a time. We met regularly to ensure that repentance had happened, and, after an appropriate time, I authorized him to again partake of the sacrament.
"As I sat on the stand in that sacrament meeting, my eyes were drawn to him as he now partook of the sacrament worthily. I witnessed arms of mercy, love, and safety encircling him as the healing of the Atonement warmed his soul and lifted his load, resulting in the promised forgiveness, peace, and happiness" ("Arms of Safety," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 49).
Testify that bishops and other priesthood leaders can help us receive the mercy and strength we need through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
To help students see that Church leaders serve groups of people and individuals, have them study Alma 15:13–18. Assign them to work in pairs. Ask one student in each pair to search Alma 15:13–15, 17, looking for ways the people of Sidom were blessed through the ministry of Alma. Ask the other student in each pair to search Alma 15:16, 18, looking for ways Amulek was blessed through the ministry of Alma. After they have had sufficient time, invite them to explain to each other what they have found.
Invite the partnerships to think of three to five ways that Church leaders today can help groups and individuals. Encourage students to think of their own responsibilities as leaders in their priesthood quorums and Young Women classes. Ask each partnership to share one of their ideas with the class.
Alma 16:1–12
The Lamanites destroy Ammonihah but are unable to defeat the Nephites who follow Alma's counsel
Ask students to think of a time when they felt surprised or suddenly frightened. You may want to ask one or two students to share their experiences. Invite students to read Alma 16:1–3 silently, looking for how the Nephites in Ammonihah were surprised and why some of them were likely frightened. Ask students to report what they find. (If necessary, help them see that the Lamanites suddenly attacked the city of Ammonihah and destroyed its inhabitants before the Nephites could raise up an army to go against them.)
Invite a student to read Alma 16:4–6 aloud, and ask the class to identify where the righteous Nephites looked for guidance. Ask another student to read Alma 16:7–8 aloud while the rest of the class looks for the result of the help they received.
How did Alma's prophetic guidance help the Nephites?
What principles can we learn from this account? (Students may identify a variety of principles. Make sure they understand that as we seek and follow guidance from the Lord's prophets, the Lord strengthens and protects us. Write this principle on the board.)
How are youth blessed as they follow prophetic guidance? (To help students answer this question, consider having them turn to two or three sections in the For the Strength of Youth booklet. Invite them to answer this question regarding each section you choose.)
Ask students to think of experiences when prophetic guidance has helped them make correct choices in difficult situations. Invite a few students to share their experiences with the class. (Make sure they understand that they do not need to feel obligated to share experiences that are too personal or private.) You might also share an experience of your own. To reinforce the truth that the words of prophets are always fulfilled, you might point out that Alma 16:9–11 shows the fulfillment of Alma's prophecy about the people of Ammonihah (see Alma 9:12).
Alma 16:13–21
Alma, Amulek, and others build up the Church among the Nephites
As students finish studying Alma 16, encourage them to look for examples of the two principles you have written on the board. Summarize Alma 16:13–15 by explaining that Alma and Amulek continued to preach the word of God throughout the land, with the assistance of others "who had been chosen for the work" (Alma 16:15). Invite students to read Alma 16:16–21 silently, looking for the results of these efforts. After sufficient time, ask students to tell about what they have found. Ask them how these examples illustrate one or both of the two principles written on the board.
Conclude the lesson by encouraging students to copy one of these principles in notebooks or scripture study journals. Invite them to write a summary of what they have learned today about that principle. Also ask them to write about how they plan to apply what they have learned.
Scripture Mastery Review
This lesson marks the midway point in this course. To help students reinforce their knowledge of scripture mastery passages, consider giving them a quiz or test to measure how familiar they are with the scripture mastery passages you have covered in class. You might prepare a simple verbal or written quiz, such as giving a clue from the seminary bookmark and letting students write the correct reference, or you might consider conducting a review of some of the passages students have memorized. You may want to tell students about the quiz or test in advance so they can prepare for it.
Note: If you do not have time to use this activity as part of this lesson, you may use it on another day. For other review activities, see the appendix at the end of this manual.
Commentary and Background Information
Alma 15:3–5. Physical suffering caused by spiritual disorders
While Zeezrom was repenting, his sins "did harrow up his mind until it did become exceedingly sore" (Alma 15:3). President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke of the reality of the physical suffering that can be caused by spiritual disorders:
"I [once] asked a doctor of family medicine how much of his time was devoted purely to correcting physical disorders. He has a large practice, and after thoughtfully considering, he answered, 'Not more than 20 percent. The rest of the time I seem to be working on problems that very much affect the physical well-being of my patients but do not originate in the body.'
"'These physical disorders,' the doctor concluded, 'are merely symptoms of some other kind of trouble.'
"In recent generations one after another of the major diseases has yielded to control or cure. Some very major ones still remain, but we now seem able to do something about most of them.
"There is another part of us, not so tangible, but quite as real as our physical body. This intangible part of us is described as mind, emotion, intellect, temperament, and many other things. Very seldom is it described as spiritual.
"But there is a spirit in man; to ignore it is to ignore reality. There are spiritual disorders, too, and spiritual diseases that can cause intense suffering.
"The body and the spirit of man are bound together" ("The Balm of Gilead," Ensign, Nov. 1977, 59).
Supplemental Teaching Idea
Alma 15:16–18. Alma ministers to Amulek
As you teach Alma 15:16–18, help students understand why Amulek may have needed Alma's ministry. Point out that less than six months had passed between the time Amulek was visited by an angel and the time he and Alma arrived in Zarahemla (see Alma 10:6; 14:23; 15:19). Using Alma 15:16, 18 as a guide, have students review what Amulek had experienced during that short time. Ask students questions such as the following:
Why do you think Amulek may have needed to be strengthened at this time?
What can we learn from Alma ministering to Amulek? (Help students understand that we can comfort and strengthen others by ministering to them in their tribulations.)
Have students think of someone—perhaps a family member or a person in their ward or branch—who is experiencing tribulation of some kind. Invite students to write a plan in notebooks or scripture study journals describing what they will do to help strengthen that person. Encourage them to carry out their plans.

if your son or daugheter was turning 2 yr old and then you got prego again with oppsit and you have Nurtural stuff for boy or girl would you have another baby shower? i can understand for clothes..
reason why im asking bc my sil has a daughter and turning 2 .. sil prego again and she found out having a boy and all her stuff from her 1st baby shower is Nutural ... and shes having another BIG baby shower... again just wondering...
No, where I live it's seen as extremely greedy and distasteful to have a second baby shower. It is however common to have a party for any future kids, not a shower, gifts aren't expected and it's usually after the baby is born. People usually end up bringing gifts anyway, but it's not expected and no one gets pissy if you don't. I have two boys and am pregnant, if it's a girl, I won't be having another shower, we probably won't have a baby party until their baptism and we will combine the baptism party with the meet the baby party.
If someone is willing to throw one, why not. People have the option to say they don't want to come and everyone LOVES shopping for a baby. (: At least I do anyways! I don't want one and I don't expect any gifts for our second child. I know all my friends who have had multiple kids don't have another shower, they throw a SPRINKLE for the Mom which is just a small intimate version of a baby shower and a Diaper Party for the Dad. Dad gets to hang out with his buddies, they bring over a package of diapers and depending on the the season, watch a game, eat some wings and drink beer. LOL Everybody wins!
I only think it is tacky if someone throws it for themselves.
Nope. I think 2nd showers are tacky.
Around here the mom to be doesn't give her own shower, but if someone else wants to give her one, then go for it. It should be primarily for the sake of the party and the fun of talking and laughing together and having something to eat. If she already has most of what she needs, then a diaper shower, or even no gifts, would be fun.
I think it's a little tacky to have more than 1 shower. But it is pretty common nowadays.
Quoting Jadegirl1819:I only think it is tacky if someone throws it for themselves.

One suggestion is that you could remove some Samsung lock screen options in the settings app such as clock, weather clock position and help text. Other than that, the ROM is very smooth and I can not spot any text colour glitches. I also like how you have included the stock call screen.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis-area Republican has officially won a seat in the state Senate after a recount confirmed his victory.
The secretary of state's office certified election results Wednesday that gave Republican John Lamping a narrow victory over Democrat Barbra Fraser. From the recount, Fraser narrowed her defeat from 133 votes to 126 votes. There were more than 61,000 votes cast in the race for state Senate District 24.
Missouri law allows losing candidates to request a recount if the gap is less than 1 percentage point. Fraser's deficit had been less than 0.3 percentage points.
Lamping will be among 26 Republicans in the 34-member state Senate. The annual legislative session begins Jan.5.

Complaint 278415 Details
- Date Occurred: 09/29/2013
- Reported Damages: $79.99
- Username: Kglpass3
- Location: China
The complaint is against an online dating profile
The complaint is a listing fraud posted on public forums or sites against an anonymous entity
The complaint is mobile text spam or smishing related against an anonymous entity
The company or person contact no longer exists
International boundaries
This is an Ebay scam. "Kglpass3" has been running this scam for years under a variety of user names such as kglpass4, kglpass5 and so on. Kglpass3 buys 100's of items on Ebay everyday and immediately repost's the items they "won" through auction on Ebay Asia. They do not pay for the items knowing they have a few days before a complaint will be filed for non-payment. If they can sell the item for a substantial increase they will have the item shipped to a "drop ship" location in Gardena CA (ACI Express Inc., 14452 S. Avalon Blvd. KGL #19114). Notice the unit number.... "KGL".
If they can not sell the item they know a complaint will be filed with Ebay, thus giving them an additional four days to run this scam. On the third day of the resolution process through Ebay they will make payment through Paypal. As soon as the item arrives at their shipping company in CA they will immediately put a stop payment on the Paypal payment and claim the item was damaged in shipping. Thus giving them additional time to continue to sell the item. They will eventually never pay for the item and keep the property. Ebay will do nothing until they get numerous complaints. When you are talking about the volume of fraud being done every day by kglpass3 everyday this is a million dollar operation.
Once Ebay eventually catches on they will shut the account down. Kglpass3 then becomes kglpass4 and the scam starts all over again.
A quick "Google" search of "kglpass" will reveal 100's of victims.

Hot Potato is, to quote Media Memo, "a buzzy startup that's supposed to let users converse about a particular event, whether they're attending it in person or watching from afar." The company, led by eight-year MLB.com veteran Justin Shaffe, is still under wraps, but Media Memo writer Peter Kafka has outed a $1 million funding round led by First Round Capital and RRE Ventures. Valley A-lister Ron Conway and real-time investment firm Betaworks have also invested undisclosed amounts.
Here's what Kafka outed on the company:
"They are finishing an iPhone app and plan to submit it to Apple in the next few weeks, he said, and will open their doors once that's approved.
"HotPotato will offer "a "curated stream" in real time of all this data coming out of the event in real time. What we're really focused on doing is bringing together the entire audience of an event, whether they're at the event or watching at home."
Hot Potato has adopted the Twitter business model of We'll Figure It Out Later But Our Logo is Pretty.

The Coptic Christian community in Egypt is facing harsh persecution.
Just days before the country's first democratic election (set for Nov. 28), 27 Coptic protestors were killed for demonstrating against the military's recent burning of a Christian community center. And despite drawing global attention, which included anti-violence demonstrations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, the Global Post reports that, "the demonstrations reflect mounting fears in Egypt's Coptic community and its Diaspora that after the pro-democracy uprising of earlier this year the predominantly Muslim Egyptian society seems as indifferent to the Christian minority's concerns as ever. "
But the intolerance against the Copts stretches farther still. On Oct. 9, the Maspero attacks, in which Coptic protestors were assaulted in front of a national television building, left many hospitalized and in grave fear of their lives. With these mass attacks, coupled with the military bombing of several churches earlier this year, Egypt's Coptic Christians find themselves in dire straights.
While the Egyptian military claims the causalities are not Coptics who have been targeted for their religious beliefs, but simply Egyptians, the overwhelming number of victims are, in fact, Copts, who appear helpless against the persecution.
As the Global Post reports, "The demonstration in Cairo had confirmed Copts' longstanding — and debilitating — fear: When they mobilize, they are struck down, even killed."
Now many Copts fear that the revolution in Tahrir Square has left them behind. Religious tensions are running high and the number of Egyptian Christians is dwindling.
"Constructive ways to move ahead for the Copts remain elusive," writes Matt Negrin in the Global Post's special report. In attempt to combat the violence, each Coptic sanctuary has its own routine for protecting its members, from educating one another to performing basic safety measures.
Negrin continues: "Though the violence against Copts hasn't prompted a desire to protest en masse as Egyptians did in January, it has strengthened their faith. Women at the Church of the Virgin Mary, sitting in pews that were pushed against each other to make room for construction needed after the fire, said they've doubled the number of times they come to pray. And Mussad, recalling the Maspero protest she organized, said her devotion to God is reinforced 'when a person calls me an infidel.'"
Some see this as a battle between Christians and Muslims, some between lay persons and the military, and some between the military and the Egyptian people at large.
But the overt violence against Coptic Christians in Egypt is unprecedented.

Speed Up Life
|Posted by Sheryl Jai on May 27, 2012 at 1:40 PM
It's been a while since I wrote something new here. The Audio Blogs were great fun and they had their time, now it's time to write again!
Remember when I talked about life speeding up? Well guess what? Life has sped up and accelerated so much that changes in your life may be happening every day now! Since I returned from India in April 2012 (I was there for 5 weeks, 4 of which were spent in a 28 day ashram at Oneness University in a program called the Deepening and another week to integrate in Chennai and have some long overdue dental work) I am experiencing deep love, a connection to source I have never experienced before. My mind is now only used for purposeful things. Yes, when your mind goes, what we are talking about is the mind that keeps your life slow and unproductive! Your divine path is to be the vehicle for God's goodness here on earth. So when your mind goes, what is going is all the background chatter. What is also going is all the unresolved emotional drama, trauma and judgments that keep you stuck. Cool huh? What is left is an experience of life fully present in the moment, able to take it life and respond to your inner truth. No more suppressing yourself, no more tolerating situations that are intolerable - move on, gracefully. So many changes happen in a beautiful way that it's quite astounding. To have your mind be useful, shart, witty, charming and productive on whatever you need to do as a human who is connected and directed by your personal divine, wow! Yours is coming, if you are not experiencing this yet, you will - soon!

Have had several Matsui TVs over the years still waiting for one to give me trouble. Bought a 40in Matsui Lenavo LCD this week and I am really pleased with it. It has everything and more you get from the big brands ie 3 hdmi, Pc input brilliant picture and sound and connected easily to my Sky+ HD box. About half the price of a similar big brand model and for any name snobs it has no name on the front!! Was not worried about lack of reviews because I have respect for the brand over a lot of years.

Democrats Try to Recapture Spirit of '08, but Obama Has Lost His Halo
Even though First Lady Michelle Obama's speech electrified the Democratic convention, the party is recycling themes - not to mention candidates - from 2008.
CHARLOTTE - National political conventions may be the most overhyped events in U.S. politics - especially when a party is trying to sell the same candidates twice, using the same stories and some of the same speakers. In comparison to the 2008 Democratic convention, even the buttons with the candidate's portraits, those inevitable accessories of political gatherings, seem much less imaginative this year.
But conventions provide the necessary bubble to create the unity and excitement desperately needed for the push to the elections. Besides, no one can claim conventions are not fun for the participants. Otherwise, why would they endure long walks in a downtown blocked to most vehicles, under intermittent rain, and sit through an endless program of speeches?
Maurice Holland, lifetime Democrat and a member of the North Carolina delegation to the Democratic National Convention, is attending the quadrennial gathering for the first time in his life. Roaming with some 35,000 delegates, spectators, politicos and reporters between the events in downtown Charlotte, he hopes the convention will give Barack Obama the necessary momentum to be re-elected on November 6.
Waiting for another event at the Crowne Plaza hotel ballroom, decorated with garlands of balloons in red, white and blue, Holland says he is looking forward to Obama's next term. There is a personal angle, he says: "I am celebrating my 68th birthday next week, and I lived through segregated schools, I watched the civil rights movement. It was providence for him to get elected. Why should I trust Romney if I saw no substance? Obama has a record to be proud of, he earned his place in history, but how much could he do without the Congress? Romney said Obama threw Israel under the bus. And I ask - where? Israel is still a strong country."
A recently retired nurse, he doesn't think America is in good shape - but he is sure his grandchildren attending college have more possibilities than he had. He thinks the United States should concentrate on domestic challenges, but adds: "In our world, with a global economy, one cannot simply walk out and ignore the Middle East."
The opposition speaks
For Holland, then, the choice is clear. For some of the demonstrators outside the Time Warner Cable Arena, it is less so. Bobby Uttley, a long-time Baptist pastor, says he prefers neither candidate - actually, he would prefer the Republicans' No. 2, Paul Ryan, at the top of the GOP ticket, with Donald Trump as his running mate or at least a prominent adviser. "He is a smart guy and knows how to make money," Uttley noted.
Pat Campbell, an unemployed graphic designer who is holding an Israeli flag and handing out leaflets listing "10 reasons to support Israel," says he is disappointed with the way both parties leaders are treating Israel. "I trust Republicans more, but then they say one thing and do another," said Campbell. For him, there is no question how to approach the sensitive issue: God said he'll bless those who bless Israel, and that's the recipe for America's success.
The platforms of both parties, non-binding though they are, reflect the state of mind of the party activists. Republicans called for banning abortion without exceptions (even in cases of rape or incest ), Democrats "oppose any and all efforts" to weaken or undermine the right of a woman to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, also with no exceptions. Republicans support the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case, which created so-called Super PACs and made large corporations' and individual moguls' donations to political organizations limitless and barely accountable. Republicans support the decision, which interprets donations as free speech, while Democrats urge "immediate action to curb the influence of lobbyists and special interests on our political institutions."
Republicans pledge to overturn the Obama's massive health care reform; Democrats, while admitting that the law is not perfect, promise to build on it because "no one should go broke because they get sick." Republicans argue that defense budget cuts are dangerous, Democrats call for tough budgetary decisions (and reiterate their commitment to closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, a campaign promise that Obama did not fulfill ). The Republican platform mentions God a dozen times, the Democratic platform - not once.
On Iran, there is only a slight difference in the parties' positions (except for the Republicans' blaming Obama for making the situation worse ). Republicans: "We must retain all options in dealing with a situation that gravely threatens our security, our interests, and the safety of our friends." Democrats: "President Obama has made it clear that the window for diplomacy will not remain open indefinitely and that all options - including military force - remain on the table."
Bipartisan pandering to Jewish voters
On the Middle East, with all its revolutions and turmoil, the parties quite amazingly have shrunk their positions to little more than expressions of support for Israel. It seems less a policy statement than a means of pandering to Jewish voters. Both parties abandoned the Palestinian refugee issue in their platforms. On the UN, the Republicans say: "As long as Israel is treated as a pariah state, the UN cannot expect the full support of the American people." The GOP supports "Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state with secure, defensible borders; and we envision two democratic states - Israel with Jerusalem as its capital and Palestine - living in peace and security."
But here's a change: The Republican platform makes no mention of moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, a plank that appeared in the party's 2008 platform. The Democratic platform went the GOP one better - unlike the party's 2008 platform, this one doesn't mention Jerusalem at all. No matter how many paragraphs the Democrats invested in the Obama administration's commitment to Israel's security, omitting Jerusalem was enough to give the Republicans an opening. Mitt Romney said in a statement: "It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama's shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel's capital." Republican House Majority leader Eric Cantor called on those who care about Israel to condemn the Democratic platform. The Union of Orthodox Rabbis expressed their disappointment: "At a time when Arab leaders persistently assert falsehoods about Jerusalem's history, and deny the ancient Jewish connection to our holy city, the decision of national leaders of the Democratic Party to go silent on this issue is extremely disappointing."
According to some Jewish Democratic lawmakers, it was a misstep that put the party on the defensive. Congressman Howard Berman said in a statement: "It should be clear to everyone that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel, always and forever. Israel is our strongest ally in the region, it is a relationship that must be fully embraced, especially during times of regional instability. Anything less, I will not accept."
The Democratic National Council stressed that "the Obama Administration has followed the same policy towards Jerusalem that previous U.S. administrations of both parties have done since 1967; the status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians - which we also said in the 2008 platform."
Some Democrats sought to portray the platform battle over Jerusalem as a distraction. Alan van Capelle, head of the NGO Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, wondered: "How is it that on the night the First Lady speaks about creating opportunity for all Americans, there are those in the Jewish community and media fomenting a partisan debate over the nuances of a staunchly pro-Israel platform when we should be discussing how to invest in education, helping the least fortunate among us, expanding marriage equality and ensuring that all Americans pay their fair share in taxes." Probably true - especially when neither party is genuinely eager to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, or even resume a serious attempt at Middle East peacemaking. But these are elections, and nobody would really expect Republicans to miss the opportunity to accuse Obama of "throwing Israel under the bus."
Here in Charlotte, as impressive and personal as Michelle Obama's speech was ("Even though back then Barack was a senator and a presidential candidate, to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door" ), it was still selling the very same president, this time in a basket loaded down with 8.3 percent unemployment.

Well, 2011 has been a massive year for us. It only seems moments ago since we kicked things off at the beginning of May (the 9th to be exact) – where we cut the ribbon to our new studio and started Pixel One.
Since that day we've worked hard to promote what we stand for and what we're all about, and we're really happy that we've gone on to work on some amazing projects. One highlight has been branding and launching the Apprenticeships division of Wakefield College – an exciting scheme that's getting young people into the working environment and securing jobs, which particularly important in this current climate.
We also helped double sales with the campaign we created for the Bunker 13 scare attraction at Magna Science Adventure Centre, a fun project that really opened up for some exciting imagery and Photoshop magic.
Another highlight was when we were featured in the September edition of Digital Arts magazine for our illustrated invitation that we did for the Hospice. We were also really happy to be featured 3 times on the Computer Arts Inspiration Blog in October, November and December – it's always nice to see your work well received.
We've got some exciting plans for 2012, we're going to be tinkering away at our own branding as well as going on to work on some fantastic campaigns for both local and national organisations, we can't wait to crack on and raise the bar.
Watch this space as we'll also be planning a big celebration for our 1 year birthday party some time at the end of April/May.
For now it's a fair well to a truly special 2011, happy holidays and we'll catch you in 2012.

Assigning the Blame for a Young Man's Suicide Deeply depressed, Adrian Adelman, 29, killed himself in September. ETHEL ADELMAN, the victim's mother, and her younger son ALAN claim that Adrian followed the instructions in the best-selling suicide manual Final Exit, and blame the book's author for their tragedy.
Q. Do you think Adrian would still be alive if he had not read Final Exit?
Ethel: Yes. I think he would still be here today if it weren't for this book.
Alan: He would still be suffering and suicidal, but the book certainly facilitated his death. This book took his life away....

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Incomplete
Affects Version/s: 2.2.1
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Dependencies
[if only this was a later version of JIRA I'd have not lost all of what I just typed, as I could use Mylyn instead of the web UI. here goes again...]
The challenge of using a different artifact instead of the one that is specified in a POM that you are consuming is not an easy one.
Examples where this hits uses is:
- the artifact name and packaging changes that Spring made at 2.5.6A (which was a big improvement)
- wanting to use SLF4J instead of Apache commons logging (i.e. use something that provides the same API, but is an entirely different project)
- wanting to use your own derivation of a public artifact
- wanting to use a woven/instrumented version of a public artifact
The current approach to replacing, say org.springframework : spring-beans with org.springframework : org.springframework.beans is to do ('scuse the shorthand):
<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-spring</artifactId> <exclusions> org.springframework : spring-beans </exclusions> </dependency> ... repeat for every artifact that uses spring-beans, and then add more if adding another artifact </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>
to exclude it, and then globally include the replacement using:
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactid>org.springframework.beans</groupId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
This is error prone, and could be made far easier by an extension to dependencies, which would remove the need to know what artifacts (jersey-spring in the above example) use the artifact that you are replacing. Here's how it would look:
<dependencyManagement> <!-- this declares the version we want to use if this artifact is in use --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactid>org.springframework.beans</groupId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <!-- This deals with artifact name change --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactid>spring-beans</groupId> <replaceWith> <!-- list of dependency elements --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactid>org.springframework.beans</groupId> </dependency> <!-- more dependency elements could be added here if an artifact has been split --> </replaceWith> </dependency> </dependencies>
- Nothing is specified in <dependencies> so no artifacts are globally added where they may not be needed. This means we can develop a project wide parent pom.xml.
- Artifacts can have been split and merged
- Derived artifacts, such as instrumented ones can easily be substituted, and could be selectively substituted using profiles.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
I don't think replacing is a good idea since it introduces a kind of relocation logic. Regardless, would adding global exclusions (MNG-1977) help?
I don't get your objection. What's the 'relocation logic' problem?
Direct artifact substitution is what in many cases the developer needs, so surely the "good idea" test is whether it makes Maven easier to use and maintain.
If you look at the comments on MNG-1977, you'll find David Jencks and Kees de Kooter suggesting the same as me.
My objection is that the POM no longer reflects reality. If a POM can relocate an artifact, a child project configured to download X gets Y, but when I look at the child POM, it says download X. It's too much smoke-and-mirrors for me and is bound to lead to confusion.
I think that's a rather personal point of view, if you don't mind me saying. On that basis, none of us would make use of AspectJ or proxies.
It is already the case that a child project configured to download X gets Y, as that's what we're actually trying to do. The problem is that it doesn't actually say "replace X with Y". It says: "don't download X".
You are mistaken in thinking that "when I look at the child POM, it says download X" is relevant to what we as developers need. We can easily end up with multiple versions of the same API on the classpath because the exclusions weren't set on every child.
At some point in our project we want to say something like (as OSGi gives us): the implementation of org.apache.commons.logging that I want to use in my build and runtime can be found in org.slf4j:slf4j:org.apache.commons.logging, or, if we want one that has been built as a valid OSGi bundle: org.slf4j:com.springsource.slf4j.org.apache.commons.logging.
What we certainly don't want is to have to repeat the exclude on an ad-hoc basis, and nor do we want the meaning lost in separating out an exclusion with a global inclusion (which is not always wanted either - e.g. for corporate standards).
Can you please tell me how you propose to satisfy this use case, if you still have your objections to my solution. It's all very well disagreeing, but it would be useful to offer a better solution in it's place.
>> I think that's a rather personal point of view, if you don't mind me saying.
Of course it's a personal point of view.
>> It is already the case that a child project configured to download X gets Y
The use case is limited. X represents the artifact. You may configure different versions of X for downloading, but it's still artifact X. Maven does provide relocation support, but it's controlled by the publisher of the artifact. You are expanding its use to give people the ability to relocate (temporarily) for the current execution. Well, I don't think it's a good idea because it makes the POM unclear what is going on.
>> You may configure different versions of X for downloading, but it's still artifact X.
That is exactly the problem. If my project, A depends on X which has a transitive dependency on Y, then being able to vary the version of Y does not allow us to substitute (yet does allow us to break the software by allowing us to regress a version from, say 2.1 to 1.3.
Please notice ththat other's are now voting and consider this request.
It's an option, and you are pre-judging the intent of an artifact's developer to presume that they, under no circumstances want anyone to replace a dependency with an alternative that may be
- instrumented
- woven
- enhanced (e.g. the trunk committers don't have the time/inclination to implement a feature or fix that you need)
- bug fixed in a (local or public) branch
- project naturally branched and the branch became the mainstream version
That presumption is simply not true.
So. I ask again. Can you please tell me how I, in a way where my intent is as clear as water, replace Apache Commons Logging with the SLF4J Apache Commons Logging integration artifact?
Why not just support dependencies section for a dependency, like what's already supported for build plugins (and hopefully will be in v3 supported for reporting plugins too)? One could then for a given dependency configure set of exclusions and add dependencies too out of which some could be exclusion replacements. Dependency POM no longer reflects reality once one adds exclusions to it, so adding more dependencies to it will IMO not be much more difference on that aspect - there's always dependency:tree and dependency:analyze, and IDE plugins can visualize effective POM.
Agree too. That'd do the trick and sounds like it'd be a helpful way of ensuring tools such as m2e can visualise the results easily. Nice one.
Can we please have a resolution to this issue for 3.1. The challenge of artifacts where we want provide an alternative implementation needs to be clear. The POM configuration should represent the intent: "Where dependency groupId:artifactId is specified, I want to use replacementGroupId:replacementArtifactId instead"
+1 for having this in 3.1
I really like the syntax suggested above. It makes clear what is intended. If this is to much 'smoke-and-mirrors' a decent IDE can make visible what is going on.
Please refer to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/The+Great+JIRA+Cleanup+of+2014 if you're wondering why this issue was closed out.


text: WHAT A BLAST! Last week was actually the first time I ever really hunted yotes and let me tell ya it is fun, I am hooked. Sat in a cow pen overlooking a pasture that I had a feeling was active with dogs, messed with some half ass mouth call not really knowing if I was blowing it right and lookee here this 38 lb. female comes walking out.I shot her in the head at 80 yards with my .270. Went out the next am in a blizzard set up on a couple farms nothing but on my 3rd setup out of a ladder stand I call in a bruiser, probably twice the size as this one, to make a long agonizing story short there is one lucky yote and one hurtin' small tree(I swear I never saw the tree with the snow).:CL: but thats hunting. Just when my wife thought hunting season was over, oh well will be back at em' soon. For any of you guys looking to get into it just grab a call get all camoed out and make some calling sequences like you would turkey hunting,or watch a video to learn some tips,these dogs are hungry and if they are in ear shot they will come in, call it beginners luck but if you are hunting uneducated yotes like I am it ain't that hard.Already looking forward to next year (new varmint rifle,calls,gadgets) nothing like a new hobby- I Love It! Have fun!


text: Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Review: 4641 Speedboat Name: 4641 Speedboat Theme: City (Harbour) Year: 2011 Pieces: 34 Minifigs: 1 Price: £3.99/$4.99 This is my second review on Eurobricks, so any constructuive criticism and feedback would be welcomed, so that my future reviews can be better and of a higher level. This morning I went to my local TRU, and they had all of the new City harbour sets available, so I purchased 4641 and 4642. Product Description Master the waves with the ultra fast LEGO City Speed Boat (4641)! Get ready for the ride of your life when the Speed Boat commands the water! Strap on the sailor's life jacket and head out for a day of fast-paced fun. Whether you're entering the Speed Boat competition or just out for a breezy ride cruising around the lake, the speed boat will take you everywhere you want to go! Now to the review! Box and contents The box uses bright colours, with the boat on the ocean with the Lego City skyline behind. Box front and back: Box Side: Box Contents: Box contents with opened bags: When you open the box, there is a single instruction manual, three large parts that aren't in bags and two bags with parts in. Instructions: They have the same image on the cover as the one on the box. Random instructions page: Page in the back showing a harbour scene/diorama using all of the new harbour sets: As you can see, the instructions have the normal light blue background, as they always use on City sets and the colours are easy to distinguish. Minifig The minifig in this set has an Octan Torso and life jacket, with the usual printed head with sunglasses and a blue cap. There is no back or leg printing on the minifig. Minifig without life jacket on (front and back): Minifig with life jacket on (front and back): Build The speedboat is a quick and non-challenging build, with just fifteen steps. New/Interesting pieces: There is two or the molded big aeroplane parts, a 4 x 6 and a 1 x 6 plate with slope parts, a Trans-Black windscreen, a 'cheese grater' part in both red and black (black not pictured) and a 1 x 2 brick with stud on both sides. After step 4: After step 8: After step 12: After step 15: The complete set Extra part: Just one lonely white cheese slope! My Ratings: Minifig: 6/10 The minifig is alright but doesn't have any new or interesting parts, but it does the job it was made for well. Parts: 7/10 The parts in this set are good, but there aren't any new ones. Build/Design: 9/10 The design is good, and it looks good from most angles. To improve, it could have more detail, such a seat for the minifig. Playability: 6/10 The playability is good, children can push the boat around on surfaces, bu the playability for children is less, becuase the boat doesn't float in real water, because of the brick-built hull. Price: 10/10 Great value for money, the boat is quite big considering the price of the set. Overall: 38/50 A great little set! Thanks for reading. ~buddy~ Edited April 30, 2011 by Zorbas Indexed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molly Miranda: Thief for Hire (Book 1) Action Adventure
Today's Free Kindle eBook: Molly Miranda: Thief for Hire (Book 1) Action Adventure Comedy
Shortlisted for the 2016 Prince Edward Island Book Award for fiction.Join Molly on her hilarious adventures as she dodges bullets, trespasses, wears disguises, and steals her way into trouble.Professional, experienced contract burglar.It's not exactly something you can put on a business card.Molly Miranda has made a successful living from "acquiring" valuables and delivering them to clients who pay buckets of cash for her unique services.So what if she has to lie about her lavish lifestyle in Manhattan and her frequent trips out of the country? Molly has everything under control.Things go astray when she knocks boots with her charming roommate right before taking off to Scotland with an untrustworthy wildcard on a job assignment that doesn't go quite as planned.It doesn't help that this new partner-in-crime is super annoying. And attractive…The sequel, Molly Miranda: Thick as Thieves, out now!Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series or comedies by Meg Cabot. Recently reached #3 in Women's Adventure and #4 in Humor & Satire (American) on Amazon!Praise for Molly Miranda"How much fun is this? I'm loving the debut from Hamilton–now I need more about her sassy, sometimes awkward and always brave heroine, Molly Miranda. Stealing other people's stuff has never been so charming. Bravo!"- Patti Larsen, award-winning author of the Hayle Coven series"It's tense and smart-alecky. It's likeable without being sweet. It's sexy and tough, and as apt to kick you in the pants as to kiss you on the cheek."- Award-winning author Leo McKay Jr."Molly Miranda is a fun read with some good messages of self awareness and identity laced through the humour and suspense."- Author Natalie Corbett SampsonAuthor Q&ATell us about Molly Miranda. What makes her tick?Molly Miranda is in her early twenties and has a pretty average life- except for the fact that she makes her living by stealing big ticket items like art, jewelry and the odd historical artifact. She doesn't really consider herself good at anything else and gets twitchy when she's not out on assignment. She feels safest when she's just acquired a hefty amount of cash as money equals stability. For Molly, financial security equals happiness. Have you always been interested in thieves in fiction? If not, why now?Not specifically. I knew I wanted to make Molly a criminal. I initially considered making her a hired assassin but thought it might be easier to make her a likeable character if her crime didn't physically hurt anyone so I made her a burglar who steals items from people who can afford to have things stolen from them. Plus, my book is a comedy. Much easier to make a book funny and light-hearted if nobody is being murdered. Once I decided to make her a thief, I did some research and became fascinated. Obsessed, even. I think I could pull of a decent heist if the opportunity ever came up. What sort of research went into Thief For Hire?I basically inhaled Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief by Bill Mason. Such a fantastic read. Unbelievable. I also read Catch Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale, The Rescue Artist by Edward Dolnick, The Thefts of the Mona Lisa by Noah Charney (Charney is a fantastic wealth of art theft information) and The Gardner Heist by Ulrich Boser. I've also watched a lot of documentaries on art forgeries, art thefts and famous thieves like Bonnie and Clyde.(Courtesy of author John L. Monk)

Sotomayor holds potential impact
With all due respect to a senator I very much admire, I think he may underestimate the impact of having Sotomayor on the high court.
Certainly, there is a world of difference in personality between the taciturn New Englander who recently retired and the feisty New Yorker who will replace him. Souter was well-liked by his colleagues, but there is little evidence that he tried hard to influence them.
In any group as small as the nine-member Supreme Court, the departure of one person and the arrival of a very different one likely will alter the dynamics.
It is clearly the case that the two women who preceded Sotomayor on the court, Sandra Day O�Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, have had an outsized impact on their colleagues�and on the course of the law.
Ginsburg has been the most outspoken member of the liberal bloc, delivering some blistering dissents from the bench and speaking in a way that has inspired action from her soul mates in the political branches. O�Connor, who broke the gender line when President Ronald Reagan picked her, managed to become the swing vote�the ultimate decision-maker�on a wide variety of issues of historic consequence.
These two were much on the mind of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the Minnesota Democrat who organized a pair of floor presentations by women senators on behalf of Sotomayor�one when the judge was first nominated and the second just as the confirmation debate neared an end.
Much has been made�and rightly so�of the fact that Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. But for women, too, this is an important moment.
As Klobuchar recalled, it is only recently that women gained professional status within the legal profession. When O�Connor graduated third in her class from Stanford Law School, �the only offers she got from law firms � (were) for legal secretary positions. � Her accomplishments (were) reduced to one question: Can she type?�
And, Klobuchar said, when Ginsburg �entered Harvard Law School, she was one of only nine women in a class of more than 500. The dean of the law school actually demanded she justify why she deserved a seat that could have gone to a man.�
Klobuchar, who is in her first term as a senator, previously served as the county attorney, or prosecutor, in Minnesota�s most populous county. That gave her a bond with Sotomayor, whose first job out of law school was as a prosecutor in New York.
Klobuchar made vivid what that experience might now bring to the Supreme Court.
�As a prosecutor,� she said, �after you have interacted with victims of crime, after you have seen the damage that crime does to individuals and to our communities, after you have seen defendants who are going to prison and you know their families are losing them, sometimes forever, you know the law is not just an abstract subject. It is not just a dusty book in the basement. The law has a real impact on the real lives of real people.�
When I asked Klobuchar after the confirmation vote why she had organized the women senators to speak up for Sotomayor, she said, �She is only the third of 111 justices in our history, and we are only 17 of 100 senators. It is important we stand together and recognize that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, so slowly but surely, we can expand our place in the world.�
That expansion is one of the most welcome changes I have seen in politics and government in my lifetime�and just an augury of what is coming next.

T-Mobile and Nokia announced the Lumia 710 smartphone back in mid-December and since then we have seen the coming soon style listing appear on the T-Mobile website. And well, we know that January 11th will be the release date, however as of this morning we have a bit of good news for those who cannot wait to part with their money — the Lumia 710 has come available for pre-order. The pre-order availability is coming by way of online retailer Wirefly who have the handset available for free. Yup, while T-Mobile will be charging $50 (which comes after a $50 mail-in rebate) you can score it for free with Wirefly. And that is a free that does not involve mailing anything in. Also worth noting, that free price is only available for new customers. Those looking to renew/upgrade can expect to shell out $39.99 and those looking to add additional lines to a family account will pay a bit more — $79.99. And lastly, the no contract price is $359.99. With that, Wirefly has noted that the handset will ship as expected on January 11th.

Vice president's wife fumes over poor upkeep of TajMarch 31st, 2010 - 6:19 pm ICT by IANS
Agra, March 31 (IANS) Salma Ansari, Vice President Hamid Ansari's wife, chided caretakers of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Wednesday for poor maintenance of the Taj Mahal.According to Shabana Khandelwal, general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Mahila Congress, Ansari showed her anger and displeasure with the poor level of upkeep and maintenance and wondered where all the funds were being spent. She spent quite some time in the monument and minutely examined and questioned about all the restoration work going on.
Ansari was in Agra for an awards ceremony.
She asked ASI officials to take extra care of the Taj Mahal and clean up the whole complex. "Such an exquisite and beautiful monument should not be a victim of indifference and lack of passion for upkeep," she said.
Before leaving, Ansari advised Congress party workers to take up the issue of the Taj Mahal's poor maintenance and ensure that heritage buildings got the attention they deserved.

Cubs originally called West Side home
Cubs originally called West Side home
"Everybody thinks that the Cubs have played at Wrigley Field since the dawn of time," Cubs history hobbyist Mike Reischl said. "That's not really the case."
The franchise called several parks home before Wrigley, most notably a pair of parks on the West Side of Chicago.
They played in the first West Side Park from 1885-1891, then played from 1893-1915 at the second West Side Park, where the franchise experienced its greatest success. The second West Side Park is often referred to as West Side Grounds to avoid confusion.
At West Side Grounds, the Cubs appeared in four World Series from 1906-1910, winning the title in 1907 and 1908.
The Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play combination became immortalized there, as did Hall of Fame pitcher Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown.
Reischl created the Way Out in Left Field Society two years ago to promote, explore and discover the hidden, forgotten and eccentric historic places, people and occurrences of baseball.
His first mission was to uncover the history of West Side Grounds, which was sold by unpopular owner Charles Murphy to the State of Illinois for $400,000 after the Cubs moved into Wrigley. The state tore down the park in 1920 to build a hospital. Nothing remains.
The society hopes to have the land commemorated by the end of the summer with a plaque placed where the center field flag pole formerly resided. Today, that location is in a flower garden at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center at 912 S. Wood St. They need a little help from the Illinois State Historical Society to make it an official landmark, but the process is in motion.
"Clearly, the passions of the Chicago Cubs are deeply rooted in the West Side of Chicago," said Way Out in Left Field member Brian Bernardoni, who is also a Wrigley Field tour guide. "As a Wrigley tour guide, one of the more difficult things I have to share with fans is that the Cubs have never won a World Series at Wrigley Field. It's always a look of surprise when people hear that. With that said, when you think about the foundations of Tinker to Evers to Chance, when you think of Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown, when you think of Billy Sunday, they played their baseball at the West Side Grounds. It's exciting from our standpoint that we can be a part of Cubs history, that we can memorialize that."
The field shared similarities to its successor as the Cubs' home.

"The rooftop battles between the Chicago Cubs and the rooftop owners were going on at the West Side Grounds," Bernardoni said. "History has an interesting way of repeating itself. The lasting legacy for the West Side Grounds is not just the Chicago Cubs and its championships."
Unlike Wrigley, center field was deep -- very deep. Reischl said there is some debate over the distance down the right-field line (316 feet vs. 340 feet), but the consensus is that the park ranged 560 feet to straight-away center. The left-field line was 340 feet.
The Way Out in Left Field Society took its name from a West Side Grounds tale. The term "way out in left field" is taken to mean "crazy." Well, that all started in Chicago.
"Cook County Hospital had a mental institution behind left field," Reischl said. "The bottom line is, patients could be heard yelling and screaming things at fans behind the left field wall."
Here are some of the memorable moments from West Side Grounds, according to Reischl:
On May 14, 1893, the Cincinnati Reds won the first National League game at West Side Grounds, coming back with a four-run ninth inning to top the Cubs (then known as the Colts), 13-12. Charles Comiskey, of future White Sox fame, scored the winning run to christen the park in heartbreaking fashion.
On Aug. 5, 1884, a fire blazed through wooden stands on the first-base side during a game. Cubs outfielder Jimmy Ryan was a hero of the day, as he took his bat and ripped through a chicken wire fence to allow thousands of fans to exit onto the field, away from the burning bleachers. Reischl said some of Ryan's teammates may have also saved lives, but there were 100 injuries, and half of the ballpark burned to the ground. Somehow, the team resumed play the next day. A day later, Cubs shortstop Bill Dahlen had his 42-game hitting streak snapped at the damaged park.
During the 1896 season, Philadelphia Phillie Ed Delahanty recorded a four-homer game. What's even more impressive is that all four home runs were of the inside-the-park variety.
In 1908, a woman gave birth in the bleachers during a game.
During the 1908 World Series, Murphy put the visiting press in the last row of the grandstand. Allegations arose that he allowed the front rows to be filled by scalped-ticket buyers. The press was so infuriated that it organized the Baseball Writers Association of America, which is still in place today and votes for the Hall of Fame.

It would have been Better if the background ACTUALLY MOVED!
you mean as it was running?
Yeah, this was actually pretty terrible and your attitude doesn't really seem to help the whole situation. A lot of the comments below have been offering you fairly constructive criticism, offering you ways to bump this up from an animation with a score of two to maybe an animation with a score of 3-ish. By disregarding what they're saying and reverently denying their critiques you're doing yourself no favours.
The animation was pretty stale, flat and choppy. The 'creature' actually looked alright until it started moving, but you really have to get rid of the gradients, they make it look silly, try shading it manually. The jet looked like it was designed by Picasso; I've been to a lot of aviation museums and I've never seen a gun mounted on the fuselage that goes off on a 90 degree angle, they tend to go parallel with the body of the plane.
The story needs to be reworked, even if the whole creature of the night thing is going to be episodic or divided into multiple parts, each part should have a clear and distinct beginning, middle and end. I have no idea why the jet started attacking a random creature, or why the creature said that the jet pilot was a mortal. Is the creature immortal now? When did that happen? Why are they trying to kill it in the first place, especially if it's immortal? You've got the potential to be a good animator, don't blow it by being rude to the people who go out of their way to review your movies.
ha ha
... wow
Your animation is poor, and what is actually there is about 20 seconds long, your characters look lifeless, and the action is pointless and crude.
But you know what, i could get past all that and write an honest review telling you tweak up some things and you'll get better and giving u some tips
Nukyew2 was being very honest and helpful, not a lot of people on newgrounds do that, he wrote a long critique or your work and he told you how to improve.
You know what you did?
You told him to shove it up his ass and you denied everything he said in a childish way. Let's see... you said...
(my own remarks are in parenthesis)
"Thanks for writeing an esay dick head, firstly how long do you think it should be 4 hours(What a stupid thing to say, he means it should be a reasonable length.)? Secondly, the creature looked like it was running you are just being a pain in the ass(The creature does not look like its running, and you can't make that go away by denying it.). Third, the creature is faster than a cheater(Hmmmm, it doesn't look like it, from the way the mountains in the backrounds aren''t moving, tokk me a second to realize the creature wasn't standing still). Fourth, the creature was in fact very detailed you are just stupid to say that(The creature is not very detailed... and there you go again calling him a name and denying his opinion. So childish!).Next, the creature was faceing forward all the time because he was watching the human he kills at the end. Sixth, the macine guns are pointing out on some planes you can see if you have ever been to a war musem(What does this have to do with ANYTHING?). Seventh.The booooooooms! and explosions were good(No, they wren't and he told you how you could improve them.Asshole.), Next, the human was good a drawing thanks, but the creature dived on his back and tore his head off(Didn't look like it...).Nineth, the backgrounds were long strechs off grass(Why are there aliens landing in grassy fields, with one or two soldiers appearing randomly hear and there?). Finaly, you can shove your reveiw right up your ass(What a stupid, stupid, thing to say.)."
Yeah, well i might have tried to give you some tips,
but i know you'd just tell me to go to hell or something gay like that.
Your a snotty asshole who needs a lesson in manners and in animation
Good day.
If you are going to respond like a childish, snotty, stubborn asshole, then don't bother responding at all.
it won't run on my computer for some reason.....well, I saw your first one but I didn't care to review it, too busy. I hope the next one works....
Thanks, but if it is a white screen just wait for it to load or click the X at the top and try again.
Better than part 1...
...but to be honest, it still needs improvement.
It's quite on the short side, and maybe you should consider waiting untill you post part 3, untill you have more than this. Put it all together later, and I'm pretty sure the reviews will be better.
Also, you told me in my review on part 1 there should me much more deaths, but in fact I actually saw just one.
Just improve your skills, keep getting better and better, make the shots less static and make more story.
Because now you have just 2 random short scenes.
If i might give you another hint; in the first shot of this one, you see some explosions and a running creature.
You have drawn some hills as well, but i suggest you let them move slowly to the right, to make it look like the creature is actually getting away from the place he is standing at.
Loop that movement, and also make sure the explosions don't hit the same place over and over and over again.
I should do the same with the fighter, but with clouds for suggesting movement. Also let it go a bit up and down.
@ FavouriteBear: Read the 'guidelines for posting reviews', section F.
I can understand you don't agree with someone else's reviews, but you are actually not allowed to say that in one of yours. And IF you feel to do so, make sure it's not filling up your whole review, because the only thing you've actually reviewed now, is the review of nukyew2.
Thanks friend! But please you can annoy nukyew2, but be friends with Favorite bear he is cool!
