Bradley Fold great grandad scoops £1 million lottery prize
9:25am Tuesday 24th September 2013 in News
GREAT-grandparents Malcolm and Rhona Talbot are set to buy their dream bungalow after scooping a £1 million lottery jackpot.
The couple, from Bradley Fold, celebrated by cracking open a bottle of champagne they had been saving for more than three years for a special occasion.
They will now splash out for a special 51st anniversary celebration next year and a luxury cruise — after their numbers came up on the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle.
The pair say they will stay in the area because they love it — but will move to a bungalow as they struggle to get around their current home.
They were at first unaware of their win last Tuesday — as Mr Talbot had been out watching the football at Dobbies Social Club in Bradley Fold Road. The 72-year-old only realised his luck when he returned home to check his numbers.
He said: "I shouted to Rhona to get her glasses because I was convinced I had matched the raffle code. I asked Rhona to read the code back to me and then I asked her to read it again and then I just shouted 'We've won! We've won one million pounds!'
"Rhona just told me not to be silly and we both just sat staring at the television and then the reality that the code on the television matched our ticket started to sink in. We then started to realise that we were millionaires."
The win means the couple will now be able to move into a bungalow, after having problems in their current house.
Mr Talbot, who has three children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, said: "Rhona and I have both had health problems and really need to move to a bungalow but this is something which we never believed we would be able to afford to do.
"We are really struggling with the stairs and are finding our current home increasingly impractical.
"This win couldn't have come at a better time. Moving will really help us both in terms of our health and will really improve our quality of life."
The couple are also planning special celebrations for their 51st wedding anniversary in January next year and Mrs Talbot's 70th birthday on Christmas Eve.
Mrs Talbot, aged 69, said: "The news still hasn't sunk in. We just want to take time to relax and think about what has happened to us. It is just like one big amazing dream.
"I think we will probably go on a special holiday — a cruise along the Rhine in Germany is something which we would both love to do."
Mrs Talbot had previously refused to open the bottle of champagne, which her sister bought her, until there was a special occasion.
She said: "I have always said to Malcolm I want to leave this for a special occasion.
"There couldn't be anything more special than winning £1 million. We cracked it open and then sat and drank the bottle in the kitchen together."
The couple, who have been together since Rhona was 17, say they will treat the whole family — and will continue playing both Lotto and EuroMillions.
Mr Talbot said: "I definitely won't be stopping playing. I have been feeling lucky recently and I just had a gut instinct that something good was going to happen to Rhona and I after all of our health problems — and my gut instinct was so very right.
"I didn't however expect the luck to be that we would become millionaires. This is just the most fantastic feeling and beyond anything that I could ever have dreamed of."

Duh!! RE: guts: sort of like the kettle calling the pot black.
Gee that´s funny neither does Tan Boy!
Obama doesn´t have the desire; you don´t have the guts!
I swear, Boehner and many Repubs don´t have a clue why Obama is not interested in cutting spending. Guts? what the heck does that have to do with anything?HE DOESN´T WANT TO!Democrats buy elections with the public treasury which adds to the national debt. To cut spending means to lose elections. So damn the country, Democrats want elected.
Well, at least he said something that is somewhat challenging. Must have gained some courage from Dr. Ben Carson, a true lover of America.
I have been waiting for John Boehner to say no to the trillions in spending. Still waiting.
Well what do you know Obama is destroying our country and what do our brilliant posters do they treat Boehner like he´s the enemy. The best way to win is to demonize every leader of our party and lump them all together as rinos, when we have the smallest disagreement with them. It´s also very important to be as negative as possible all the time when it comes to our party. And please don´t forget leave Obama alone and spend all your energy running down our own guys. We truly are the stupid party.

Published: 12/15/2012 5:50 PM | Last update: 12/15/2012 11:43 PM A try at making sense of senselessGames people playIn between games Friday night in Haven - after a new winter homecoming king and queen were crowned and before the National Anthem - an extended moment of silence was held for obvious reasons.And as a jam-packed high school gymnasium in Anytown, U.S.A., stood together, quietly grieving while trying to make sense of the senseless, a young child broke the silence.
Her obvious joy brought smiles to many. And it moved others to tears. Without knowing it or being able to comprehend anything beyond her next step, she became the face I attached to one of the most horrific days imaginable. All children should be that carefree - that happy. And today, that's just not the case. Their innocence has been confiscated. Their safety is nothing more than a myth. Our perception of being able to protect them is a fleeting concept. What a helpless - and hopeless - feeling. Just hours earlier, evil had reared its head again - this time in Connecticut. This time, most of the victims were young school children. Gunned down in their classrooms. A despicable act. "I am sure everybody in Newtown, Conn., is saying that can happen somewhere else," said Haven girls basketball coach Dwight Roper. "That happens in Columbine, in Arkansas and in Mississippi, but it doesn't happen here. "It can happen anywhere and that's what's scary about it." It took place nearly 1,500 miles away, but Friday's tragedy hit home. Basketball on that night just didn't seem to matter as much. "It takes a lot of glimmer off of everything," said Roper, a teacher, coach and parent. "It's a cold shot of reality. It yanks at you." Basketball was played on Friday - as it should have been. The normalcy provided a nice diversion from a day that most of us will never forget. But to say life went on as usual would be ridiculous. "It really makes you stop and think what's important in life," said Buhler girls basketball coach Brennan Torgerson, whose Crusaders beat Winfield, 56-25, on Friday night. "Little kids are the most innocent ones in the whole world. They are the ones who were attacked (Friday). It's hard to fathom why someone would want to do that." Torgerson wears his fatherly heart on a sleeve. It's one of the things I appreciate about him. He is a man who has had the ability to coach his children through high school - Trevor in golf and Taryn in both golf and basketball - and that's not as easy as you might think. "How do you know when you send your kids off to school that you might not see them again" he said. "I can't imagine what that would be like. It makes you appreciate your family and hold the ones you love closest to you." In the old days - a few days before Al Gore invented the Internet - we heard details of big events through radio reports and got word through the evening news. We then read about it in its entirety in the next morning's newspaper. The social media, coupled with the 24-hour news cycle, changed that. They give us immediate blow-by-blow accounts of everything, which was the case on Friday. We had live reports from the school, live look-ins of media conferences and we even saw our president moved to tears in an emotional address to the nation. "It happened and we were reading about it online just a few minutes later," Roper said. And if he was reading about it, so were his players. In other words, keeping them shielded from the evil of the world would not be possible on that day. "We knew all about it," said Haven senior Ashley Rogers, a thoughtful kid whose scope of knowledge extends far beyond the basketball court. "It's just so hard to imagine. ... We were definitely thinking about it. It's heartbreaking." Pandora's box had been opened, but Roper and Haven boys coach Lonnie Paramore chose not to address the situation with formal team meetings. Basketball was going on. Add homecoming festivities to the mix and it became obvious that Friday would not be a normal game night. "I just tried to focus on basketball," said Paramore, whose Wildcats improved to 5-0, thanks to a Jed Beachy jumper at the buzzer, which beat Pratt, 47-45. Paramore had the luxury - most years a curse, but on Friday (given the circumstances) it was a luxury - of having three players nominated for homecoming king. He reminded the trio that only one of them could win - only one of them would get to kiss the homecoming queen - and that they still had to be friends and teammates afterward. Mission accomplished. Luke Johnson ended up bagging the crown (there was no kiss, by the way) and the Wildcats followed that up with another pure-effort victory. In Haven, that's what we're coming to expect as normalcy. Oh yes, normalcy. Let's hope the world gets back to that point soon. That is, until the next time this happens.

Certainly the plight of the boreal toad is not unique, as amphibians around the globe are experiencing alarming declines. Of the over three thousand species of New World amphibian species, 39% are threatened with extinction. This contrasts sharply with the status of threatened birds (10%) or mammals (16%). Causes of these declines are discussed in Disappearing jewels: the status of New World amphibians. Recent findings suggest that the chytrid fungus Bd may be responsible for more declines than previously thought. A discussion of specific factors limiting the recovery of boreal toads in particular as well as conservation systematics can be found in Michael Lannoo, ed., Amphibian Declines: The Conservation Status of United States Species (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005). To purchase a copy of this book or for permission to reproduce or reprint this material, visit www.ucpress.edu.
Current research has focused on developing methodologies for reintroducing toads in historically occupied habitats, detecting the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the wild, and refining husbandry practices.
Repatriation of boreal toads on the Grand Mesa, Colorado
This study explores the efficacy of introducing various boreal toad life stages to establish new populations. The study site lies in the Kannah Creek drainage on the southern end of the Grand Mesa in Mesa County, Colorado. Approximately twelve thousand tadpoles were raised each year at the Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility (NASRF) in Alamosa, CO. They were released unmarked around the margins of three ponds at the study site in late June 2003, 2004, and 2005. An additional 1200 were divided among six pens (two per pond), raised to metamorphosis, toe clipped for future identification, and released. Remaining tadpoles were kept at NASRF until approximately 3 weeks post metamorphosis. Nine hundred were then given a different toe clip and divided among the same three ponds in late August of each year. About 2500 tadpoles were released unmarked to a single pond in 2006, completing the initial reintroduction effort.
We had excellent success raising tadpoles to metamorphosis in the pens, with most having better than 80% surviving to metamorphosis. Of the mortalities, desiccation and predation were to blame, rather than inadequate husbandry practices. Metamorphosis was initiated the last week in July, and was completed by mid-August. Average water temperature in the pens over that time (release date to metamorphosis) was 17 C.
We did notice that pen raised toadlets captured in late August were only half as heavy as those released directly into the wild as tadpoles. The ability to behaviorally thermoregulate apparently was critical for maximizing growth in the wild release group, as their counterparts in the pens were fed daily. It was thought that this increase in mass would confer some survival advantage, suggesting that wild released tadpoles would be the most suitable life stage for subsequent repatriation efforts. Interestingly, this increased size going in to winter did not seem to affect survival to the following summer, as individuals from all release groups were recovered in proportion to numbers released the previous year. Future releases will likely all be wild-release tadpoles since they are much less labor intensive.
Detection of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Since the late 1990s, researchers have discovered the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infecting frogs in areas experiencing amphibian population declines in Australia, Europe, Africa, and North, Central, and South America. In 1999, a decline in the Henderson/Urad boreal toad population in Colorado was attributed to this "frog chytrid". This chytrid fungus has now been identified in boreal toads from over a dozen Colorado populations and evidence suggests that this pathogen was responsible for the declines documented in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The chytrid life cycle begins with a motile zoospore, which is the infective stage of this pathogen. During the course of infection, chytrid zoospores enter skin cells on the amphibian. The fungus grows and develops asexually within the skin cells. Eventually, discharge tubes form, that extend to the surface of the cells. Mature zoospores emerge from the discharge tube and begin the life cycle again. Infections are restricted to the skin of the amphibian. Infected amphibians often slough skin more frequently than healthy amphibians. Scientists are currently exploring how this fungus kills amphibians.
Until recently, the only way to positively diagnose Bd infection on boreal toads was through tedious histological examination of dead toads. With the cooperation of the University of Maine and the USGS Biological Research Division, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife sponsored the development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to enable rapid detection of Bd DNA with a non-lethal approach .
Looking for reservoirs of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection
An increasing range-wide interest in reintroducing boreal toads back in to historic habitats has spurred the need to develop a test for the presence of Bd in the wild. Repatriation efforts are time consuming and costly, and their success may hinge on the disease status of a potential site. As such, it is imperative that the disease status be considered when evaluating potential reintroduction efforts. This process is further complicated by the fact that many of our most promising sites currently have no resident amphibian species. Since Bd can persist at a location even in the absence of amphibian species, we suspect that amphibians may not be the primary host, and that infection can be maintained through other organisms. We have looked for infection in aquatic insects, small fish, snails, clams, algae, feathers, and keratin, from known Bd positive sites but have still not been able to detect the organism in a non-amphibian host. In 2007 we detected Bd in samples of mosquito larvae and pupae, but not consistently. Other researchers are developing water filtration strategies for detecting Bd environmentally.
Sampling strategies for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in the wild
Many potential boreal toad repatriation sites are home to other montane amphibians. In these situations, it is possible to test for the presence of Bd using an established protocol . Intensity and prevalence of the disease is seasonal however, so care must be taken when sampling for the disease to maximize ones chances of detecting Bd if it is present. Infection appears to be most common and intense early in the summer (Figure 1).
Hatchery studies
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility (NASRF) plays a critical role in State's efforts to restore boreal toads. The facility houses over 600 adult boreal toads, providing a key link in the production of these animals for repatriation efforts and research, as well as serving as a genetic bank for this state endangered species. Protocols used in maintaining boreal toads at NASRF can be found in the Boreal Toad Husbandry Manual . In addition, several other research projects have been completed at the facility:
The importance of diet on growth and survival to metamorphosis of boreal toads Bufo boreas in captivity
Refining husbandry practices at NASRF will ensure the vitality of boreal toad restoration programs. We initiated a study that considered four diets in an effort to improve growth and survival to metamorphosis on tadpoles raised at the hatchery. Each of twelve tanks received 35 boreal toad tadpoles (Gosner stage 23) then randomly assigned one of four treatments (diets). These diets included various combinations of Mazuri Feed (Mz; Mazuri® Purina Mills, St. Louis, MO), a mix of vegetables (mustard greens, collard greens, yellow squash, and zucchini) that were blended then frozen in to cubes (Vc), brine shrimp (Bs), and liquid vitamin B complex (B). Tadpoles were fed daily, and growth was monitored at roughly two-week intervals. Individual tadpoles were measured for total length, while an average mass for each individual was estimated by weighing all individuals in each tank. Mortalities were noted and removed daily. Timing of metamorphosis was also noted, as was metamorphic snout-vent length.
Interestingly, the commercially available tadpole food (Mz) was least effective in promoting growth and survival of the diets used. Weight gain was almost half what it was for our best diet (MzVcB), and length at metamorphosis was smaller as well. Perhaps more importantly, only a third as many tadpoles actually metamorphosed under the Mz diet as compared to the MzVcB group. Performance of the VcBs and MzVc diets was generally intermediate, though the VcBs group shared very high survival to metamorphosis with the MzVcB group. Interestingly, trace amounts of vitamin B were present in the Bs treatment, perhaps alluding to the importance of the role vitamin B plays in the developmental process. The variability in growth and survival attributed to these diets underscores the importance of continued work in this arena.
Tag retention in a captive population of boreal toads Bufo boreas using four marking schemes
The development of reliable marks to identify individuals or groups of boreal toads is critical to the success of research and captive breeding efforts on this species. Given the widespread use of various marking schemes, it is necessary to quantify the extent of the tag loss, to determine if it indeed poses a problem. The Colorado Division of Wildlife's Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility (NASRF) in Alamosa lends itself to this sort of study, as large numbers of toads can be tagged and retention evaluated on a regular basis.
Over 300 captive boreal toads were used in this study. Adults received passive integrated transponders (PIT), visual implant elastomer (VIE), coded wire, and toe clips. Toadlets were subjected to the same treatment without the PIT tags. The PIT tags are uniquely coded and ideal for identifying specific individuals required for breeding records as well as robust schemes for population monitoring. The remaining marks are more suitable as batch marks used to identify a group of individuals. While it is true that the coded wire tags have a unique sequence of numbers on them, reading those numbers requires that the tag be removed from the body and inspected under a magnifying glass. As such, they were simply used as a batch mark in this study, and were readily detectable with an electromagnetic wand waved over the animal.
All toads were inspected at monthly intervals for marks, unless they were in hibernation. PIT and coded wire tags were scored as being either present or absent, while VIE and toe clips were scored on a scale ranging from 0-3. A VIE score of zero represented no detectable VIE tag even under scrutiny with a blue light and amber tinted glasses, while a three was clearly visible to the naked eye. A toe clip score of zero indicated complete regeneration of the toe without any deformity, while a three was assigned to toes with no evidence of regeneration and a clearly recognizable mark.
Though this study was only recently initiated, some interesting results have already come to light. Both VIE and toe clips worked well as batch marks for small toadlets (mean snout-vent length = 19.5 mm) with both displaying better than 99% retention over four months. The coded wire marks worked well initially, but loss has accumulated over time so that now 14% of the toadlets are without tags. For the adult toads, toe clipping, coded wire, and VIE were all excellent marks for identifying batches of individuals. Separation between methods in this portion of the study will presumably be more apparent after greater time has elapsed as most of these individuals are now in hibernation, and have not been evaluated in several months. Retention of the PIT tags was very disappointing, with 30% losing their tags in the first month, and 40% having lost their unique marks after two months. This degree of tag loss is unacceptable, and alternative methods for identifying individuals will need to be developed.
Using pattern recognition to identify individual boreal toads
Many researchers are investigating pattern recognition techniques to identify individual animals –everything from penguins to sharks and polar bears. Biologists in Switzerland have used unique abdominal patterns to recognize individual yellow-bellied toads. In the United States flank photographs have been used to identify Mountain Yellow-legged frogs. Boreal toads display similar unique marks on their bellies, analogous to a fingerprint in humans.
We have had a pilot computer program developed to digitally characterize these patterns so that all 600 adult boreal toads at the NASRF can be identified. We've completed photographing every toad at the NASRF facility and every individual has been loaded into the program. Now we are dealing with quality control – investigating how the photographs should be posed to ensure the best possible information, how to speed the recognition algorithm, and whether this program will eventually be useful in both hatchery and field situations. Even now, the presence of the physical photographs at our hatchery has proven useful in identifying individuals by comparing photos to toads within lots (fortunately, in the hatchery one would not have to compare a live toad with 600 photos in order to identify the toad, since they are kept separate by lots). This will ensure the integrity of our breeding program at the facility.

Topic: CSS
Why Sass?
"I was a reluctant believer in Sass. I write stylesheets by hand! I don't need help! And I certainly don't want to add extra complexity to my workflow. Go away!" So says designer, CSS wizard, and Dribbble co-founder Dan Cederholm at the beginning of his new book Sass For Web Designers, released today by A Book Apart. Yet the reluctant convert soon discovers that the popular CSS pre-processor can be a powerful ally to even the hand-craftiest front-end designer/developer. Dan has never learned a thing about CSS he wasn't willing to share (and great at teaching). And in this exclusive excerpt from Chapter 1 of Sass For Web Designers, you'll get a taste of how Dan learned to quit worrying and use Sass to take better control of his stylesheets and websites.
Improving UX Through Front-End Performance
Adding half a second to a search results page can decrease traffic and ad revenues by 20 percent, says a Google study. For every additional 100 milliseconds of load time, sales decrease by 1 percent, Amazon finds. Users expect pages to load in two seconds—and after three seconds, up to 40 percent will simply leave. The message is clear: we must make performance optimization a fundamental part of how we design, build, and test every site we create—for every device. Design for performance; measure the results.
Responsive Comping: Obtaining Signoff without Mockups
If you're making websites, chances are you've given some thought to what constitutes a responsive-friendly design process—and you've probably found that adding a mockup for every breakpoint isn't a sustainable approach. Designing in code sounds like the answer, but you may be mystified at where to begin—or feel unmoored and disoriented at the prospect of giving up the approach you've long relied on. Enter responsive comping. This new, mockup-less web design process makes it easy to get that Photoshop monkey off your back, and have a fresh new beginning with your old friend the web browser.
Learning to Love the Boring Bits of CSS
The future of CSS gives us much to be excited about: On the one hand, there's a whole range of new methods that are going to revolutionize the way we lay out pages on the web; on the other, there's a new set of graphical effects that will allow on-the-fly filters and shaders. People love this stuff. Magazines and blogs are full of articles about them. But if these tools are the show ponies of CSS, then it's time to give some love to the carthorses of the language. Learn why "boring bits" like selectors, units, and functions will be revolutionary to the way we work—albeit in humble, unassuming ways.

Building Books with CSS3
While historically, it's been difficult at best to create print-quality PDF books from markup alone, CSS3 now brings us the Paged Media Module, which targets print book formatting. "Paged" media exists as finite pages, like books and magazines, rather than as long scrolling stretches of text, like most websites. With a single CSS stylesheet, publishers can take XHTML source content and turn it into a laid-out, print-ready PDF. You can take your XHTML source, bypass desktop page layout software like Adobe InDesign, and package it as an ePub file. It's a lightweight and adaptable workflow, which gets you beautiful books faster. Nellie McKesson, eBook Operations Manager at O'Reilly Media, explains how to build books with CSS3.
A Case for Responsive Résumés
Grizzled job hunting veterans know too well that a sharp résumé and near-flawless interview may still leave you short of your dream job. Competition is fierce and never wanes. Finding new ways to distinguish yourself in today's unforgiving economy is vital to a designer/developer's survival. Happily, web standards whiz and mobile web developer Andrew Hoffman has come up with a dandy differentiator that is just perfect for A List Apart readers. Learn how to author a clean résumé in HTML5/CSS3 that scales well to different viewport sizes, is easy to update and maintain, and will never grow obsolete.
Say No to Faux Bold
Browsers can do terrible things to type. If text is styled as bold or italic and the typeface family does not include a bold or italic font, browsers will compensate by trying to create bold and italic styles themselves. The results are an awkward mimicry of real type design, and can be especially atrocious with web fonts. Adobe's Alan Stearns shares quick tips and techniques to ensure that your @font-face rules match the weight and styles of the fonts, and that you have a @font-face rule for every style your content uses. If you're taking the time to choose a beautiful web font for your site, you owe it to yourself and your users to make certain you're actually using the web font , and only the web font , Â to display your site's content in all its glory.
Dive into Responsive Prototyping with Foundation
There are hundreds of devices out there right now that can access the full web, as Steve Jobs once put it. They come with different capabilities and constraints, things like input style or screen size, resolution, and form. With all these devices set to overtake traditional desktop computers for web traffic next year, we need tools to help us build responsively. Jonathan Smiley shows how to dive into responsive design using Foundation, a light front-end framework that helps you rapidly build prototypes and production sites.
Every Time You Call a Proprietary Feature "CSS3," a Kitten Dies
Any -webkit- feature that doesn't exist in a specification (not even an Editor's draft) is not CSS3. Yes, they are commonly evangelized as such, but they are not part of CSS at all. This distinction is not nitpicking. It's important because it encourages certain vendors to circumvent the standards process, implement whatever they come up with in WebKit, then evangelize it to developers as the best thing since sliced bread. In our eagerness to use the new bling, we often forget how many people fought in the past decade to enable us to write code without forks and hacks and expect it to work interoperably. Lea Verou explains why single-vendor solutions are not the same as standards and not healthy for your professional practice or the future of the web.
The Vendor Prefix Predicament: ALA's Eric Meyer Interviews Tantek Çelik
During a public meeting of the W3C CSS Working Group, Mozilla web standards lead Tantek Çelik precipitated a crisis in Web Standards Land when he complained about developers who misunderstand and abuse vendor prefixes by only supporting WebKit's, thereby creating a browser monoculture. Tantek's proposed solution, having Mozilla pretend to be WebKit, inflamed many in the standards community, especially when representatives from Opera and Microsoft immediately agreed about the problem and announced similar plans to Mozilla's. To get to the bottom of the new big brouhaha, exclusively for A List Apart, our Eric Meyer interviews Tantek on Mozilla's controversial plan to support -webkit- prefixed properties.
Building Twitter Bootstrap
Bootstrap is an open-source front-end toolkit created to help designers and developers quickly and efficiently build great stuff online. Its goal is to provide a refined, well-documented, and extensive library of flexible design components created with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for others to build and innovate on. Today, it has grown to include dozens of components and has become the most popular project on GitHub, with more than 13,000 watchers and 2,000 forks. Mark Otto, the co-creator of Bootstrap, sheds light on how and why Bootstrap was made, the processes used to create it, and how it has grown as a design system.
Getting Started with Sass
CSS' simplicity has always been one of its most welcome features. But as our sites and apps get bigger and become more complex, and target a wider range of devices and screen sizes, this simplicity, so welcome as we first started to move away from font tags and table-based layouts, has become a liability. Fortunately, a few years ago developers Hampton Catlin and Nathan Weizenbaum created a new style sheet syntax with features to help make our increasingly complex CSS easier to write and manage, and then used a preprocessor to translate the new smart syntax into the old, dumb CSS that browsers understand. Learn how Sass ("syntactically awesome style sheets") can help simplify the creation, updating, and maintenance of powerful sites and apps.
CSS3 Bling in the Real World
It's here, it's queer, get used to it! CSS3 is fun and fabulous, and if we design with progressive enhancement in mind, we can add all kinds of CSS wizardry to our websites and applications without worrying about how things work (or don't) in old browsers and outdated devices. But what happens if our audience includes folks who use non-Webkit-powered phones? And what if our clients still believe a web page is supposed to look and work the same in every device? Learn to make CSS3 yumminess as cross-browser as possible.
Fluid Images
Learn to how to make fixed-width images fluid and how to add them to your fluid grids to build a site that responds to the size of the viewport without sacrificing aesthetics. We are delighted to present an excerpt from Ethan's new book, (and the fourth title from A Book Apart), Responsive Web Design.
CSS Floats 101
The float property is a valuable and powerful asset to any web designer/developer working with HTML and CSS. Tragically, it can also cause frustration and confusion if you don't fully understand how it works. Test or refresh your knowledge as Noah Stokes explores float theory and behavior, and guides us through common float-related coding pitfalls.
Understanding CSS3 Transitions
From advanced selectors to generated content to the triumphant return of web fonts, and from gradients, shadows, and rounded corners to full-blown animations, CSS3 is a universe of creative possibilities. No one can better guide you through these galaxies than world-renowned designer, author, and CSS superstar Dan Cederholm of SimpleBits and Dribbble fame. We are delighted to present an excerpt from his new book (and the second publication from A Book Apart), CSS3 For Web Designers.
CSS Positioning 101
If you're a front end developer or a designer who likes to code, CSS-based layouts are at the very core of your work. Designer slash developer Noah Stokes scrutinizes the CSS position property to show how you can use it to create standards-compliant, table-free CSS layouts. Test or refresh your knowledge of static, relative, absolute, fixed, and inherited positioning, and how they work together to create any web layout the mind can conceive.
Forward Thinking Form Validation
When users complete a form to buy your product or sign up for your service, you want to reduce mistakes and guide them to success. Now, with HTML5 form input types and attributes, you can set validation constraints to check user input. With CSS3's new UI pseudo-classes, you can style validation states to make form completion quick and effortless.
The Look That Says Book
Hyphenation and justification: It's not just for print any more. Armed with good taste, a special unicode font character called the soft hyphen, and a bit o' JavaScript jiggery, you can justify and hyphenate web pages with the best of them. Master the zero width space. Use the Hyphenator.js library to bottle fame, brew glory, and put a stopper in death. Create web pages that hyphenate and justify on the fly, even when the layout reflows in response to changes in viewport size.

OVC Digital Network Live Video Live Stats
MARTIN, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin men's basketball team begins a four-game Ohio Valley Conference homestand when it plays host to the Eastern Kentucky Colonels on Thursday, Jan. 31 at the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The Skyhawks (5-16, 2-7 OVC) are coming off a big 65-62 road victory at SIU Edwardsville last Saturday. In that game, UT Martin only trailed for a total of 28 seconds while outrebounding the Cougars by a 35-28 margin. Mike Liabo tallied 16 points, Jeremy Washington added a season-high 15 points and Myles Taylor racked up his fifth double-double of the season (12 points, career-high 14 rebounds).
The last time UT Martin and Eastern Kentucky met, the two squads produced a nailbiter in Richmond. In a game that featured 16 lead changes and 12 ties, the Colonels escaped with a 86-78 double overtime victory.
Eastern Kentucky (16-5, 6-2 OVC) is coming off an 85-74 home loss to Belmont last Saturday. Corey Wilford chalked up a game-high 24 points, while Mike DiNunno (15 points) and Marcus Lewis (11) also reached double-figures in the scoring column for the Colonels, whose only two league losses have come to OVC East leader Belmont.

AFSCME aide Tiffany Ricci and union attorneys Michael Artz and Sharon Levine arrive at the George Romney Building in downtown Lansing to question Gov. Rick Snyder about the Detroit bankruptcy filing. (Charles V. Tines / The Detroit News.)
Lansing � Detroit filed for bankruptcy in July a day before it actually planned to, according to an internal governor�s office document, fueling suspicions by city unions and retirees that the filing was a hasty attempt to dodge a court injunction.
The document surfaced Wednesday as an exhibit during Gov. Rick Snyder�s sworn deposition in the Chapter 9 case and could be used by objectors in their attempt to get Detroit kicked out of bankruptcy court.
Dated July 17, the three-page �City of Detroit Chapter 9 Communications Rollout Plan� indicated the city was to file for bankruptcy at 7 a.m. July 19, a Friday.
Instead, the city�s attorneys raced to the federal courthouse to file the historic bankruptcy petition at 4:06 p.m. on July 18, court records show. The typed date on the filing was July 19, but the �9� was changed to an �8� in handwriting on the document.
The News previously reported the city�s bankruptcy filing beat a state court judge�s plan to restrain Snyder from authorizing the filing by a mere five minutes. Once the city filed for bankruptcy, all litigation against the city and the Snyder adminstration was frozen.
One labor union attorney said the document underscores the argument by unions the Chapter 9 petition was hastily filed and that the city didn�t negotiate with creditors in good faith in the days before Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr went to court.
�They knew legally that once the bankruptcy is filed, that ousts the state court of jurisdiction,� said Bill Wertheimer, attorney for a group of United Auto Workers� retirees who sued to stop the filing in early July.
State officials turned over the communications plan to creditors through the bankruptcy evidence discovery process. Whether it adds to the evidence unions and retirees are gathering to derail Detroit�s case for being eligible for bankruptcy remains to be seen. An eligibility trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 23.
�It depends on what the judge finds to be relevant, but arguably it goes to the good-faith issue,� Wertheimer said.
Snyder and Orr have previously sidestepped questions about whether the bankruptcy was filed on July 18 to avoid a state court injunction barring its filing.
Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel downplayed the significance of the document, which included hour-by-hour plans for a July 19 media blitz by the governor and Orr.
�The timeline was simply prepared as part of our office�s contingency communications planning in the event of a bankruptcy filing,� Wurfel said in an email. �The governor had made his decision and was ready to move forward on the 18th, which he did.�
Orr has said he couldn�t continue to negotiate with unions and the city�s pensions funds in July when they were filing lawsuits against him.
In making its case for bankruptcy eligibility, the city�s lawyers could fall back on the argument that it was impractical to negotiate with about 100,000 creditors as some of them were taking legal action to block the filing, said Laura Bartell, a bankruptcy professor at Wayne State University Law School.
�It was quite clear they could be negotiating until dooms day, and they were never going to get anywhere,� Bartell said.�It just wasn�t (practical).�
On Wednesday, Snyder testified for three hours under oath in a sworn deposition about why he authorized the bankruptcy filing.
The UAW, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and retirees are challenging Detroit�s eligibility for bankruptcy on grounds that it could lead to the slashing of earned pension benefits in violation of Michigan�s constitution. Orr has said pensions will have to be cut as part of an effort to pare down $18.5 billion in debt.
Union attorneys said they grilled the governor about whether he believed employee pensions should be slashed in the debt-cutting process � but got few answers.
�There were certain times during the deposition when I think he was trying to be forthcoming, and he was,� AFSCME attorney Sharon Levine said after the deposition. �And there were other times during the deposition where he couldn�t recall, didn�t recall or was claiming the attorney-client privilege.�
Snyder said Wednesday he agreed to testify to �ensure this case is resolved fairly and as quickly as possible.�
�Authorization of the Chapter 9 filing was a difficult but necessary decision � one that clearly was the last and only viable option to resolve the city�s fiscal crisis and restore the greatness of this proud city,� Snyder said.
Levine declined to say whether AFSCME would call Snyder as a witness at the eligibility trial, though a transcript of the governor�s deposition could be introduced as evidence.
Union and retiree attorneys plan to depose state Treasurer Andy Dillon and Snyder aide Rich Baird about the bankruptcy filing today. Mayor Dave Bing is scheduled to sit for a deposition Monday.

We booked a room here because a friend was holding her wedding reception in the 'gig room' of the pub. The double room was compact but clean and comfortable... with tea and coffee making facilities and a jug to hold water which is great since the bathroom is not en-suite. The walls are a really soothing shade of deep teal and the sheets were clean and fresh and very comfortable. It was noisy but it is a room above a pub so that really is to be expected. There are sliding glass shutters on the windows to dampen some of the noise from the courtyard which work pretty well and since it was our friends making the noise, there was only so much we could be bothered by it. The shared toilet and shower facilities were clean and there are only 3 rooms so we weren't disturbed. I recently stayed in a budget Ibis hotel and paid a lot more than a night at the Portland for a far worse experience. If you need a place to crash for a night out, this is a great place to do it. The staff are lovely and helpful and even returned our sunglasses to us before we left that we had dropped at the party the night before. I heard that the pub had a recent overhaul and if that is true, then its definitely worked! על-ידי Cathryn מBristol ב- 03/09/2013

This is the line that scares me:The battleground for women's rights is expanding from the boardroom to the bathroom, and a serious legislative initiative nicknamed "potty parity" is giving new meaning to the term "separate but equal."
The new push, which is quietly making its way into construction standards around the world, says restrooms should provide two to three times as many "outlets" for women as for men. In that sense, "potty parity" bills offer women more than parity: It may finally trim the long lines for women's rooms at theaters, stadiums, and highway rest stops.
"It's a good thing," says Kari Roberts of Reading, Mass., a shopper at the Prudential Center Mall in Boston. She says the wait time for restrooms "needs to be the same" for both men and women.
Now ladies is this in any way, shape or form true. Because I am envisioning a secret signal being sent out (potentially on Oprah) prompting women across the world to take over mensrooms."There's always this conversation, this conspiracy" among women waiting in line for the bathroom, she says. "Women are always asking: 'Is there anyone in the men's room? Can we go in there and take it over?'"
If this is true...let me caution you: You Do NOT Want To Go In there (especially if you are at Yankee Stadium).

Thanks Ron. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I had my own taste of the economic melt down and needed a few weeks to clear it up. Thank you for your recomendation on the tropical fruits. I've been looking at Avacado, mango and passion fruit. What did you grow? ~Justin
I live in Queen Creek, AZ. I have lived here about four years now.
Nice to meet you Ron. I'm in Gilbert. I have alot of family in Mesa that have been there for a few generations as well. The area sure has changed though. Mentally I erred thinking you were up north to begin with crossing Cochise County with Coconnino. So you are about 45 miles SE of Tuscon? I'm curious what your main water source is Ron. You appear to have a more moderate summer than I but appear to be just as dry and without the "luxury" of the SRP and Roosevelt water systems. On the gardening network note. I've found that the majority of avid gardeners around here are quite adverse to useing comuters. It will take time to build this but thatnkfully, there is a growing trend for gardening out there among the computer saavy. Perhaps we just need to create an annual event or two to get it started where we can celebrate our years progress and attract new contributors... I welcome your thoughts, Justin
I'm not in Cochise count but I AM in Arizona! And I have family up there near you. I'm also curious if you would like to expand the reach of your social group posting to Arizona or even the "Desert Soushwest" I understaind the you and I (in Maricopa County) do not share the same sub-climates but we do share drought Let me know what you think... I'm fine either way.
Cabinetmaker, Wow... last time I worked with wood was in the 7 grade... No let me stop there... I made my garden beds for the summer. I love working with wood... A plan of mine is to get in contact with someone who takes branches and turns them into chairs, dining tables, and the like... Ive been watching you tube videos to get an idea. also interested in upholstery too.
It is a dress maker's dummy... I love to make dresses for little girls... that is what I do... I put more pics up... I am Now splitting my time with the garden... I like gardening a bit more now. They both have their calming properties
which pic are you speaking of
anyone out there live in Cochise County Arizona?

1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 (28 ounce) jar garden vegetable pasta sauce
1 (11 ounce) log goat cheese, sliced
I have never before reviewed a recipe online, however, this was so good, and so simple that I felt I had to. The only thing I added was cooked, sliced, turkey italian sausage to make it a little more filling for my teenage boys. Even my middle one, who claims to hate eggplant loved this dish, and finished the leftovers the next day! A keeper for sure!
Didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would, very bland, if I make it again, I was precook zucchini, added some onions and seasonings. It tasted better the second day. I love eggplant but maybe goat cheese is not a fan after all.

This dish is very simple and quick to put together (although it does take a good hour to cook). I used about half the cheese to cut down on calories and found that it was still very flavorful because of how strong the goat cheese flavor is. Great meal and surprisingly filling.
This turned out amazing! I was very surprised how easy this is to make and tastes awesome!
This was really easy and delicious! Served with a whole grain baguette and salad for a quick weeknight meal!
So good and easy !!! Didn't change a thing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe !!
Just made this last night for a girls' night at a friend's....it was a big hit!! Everyone is asking for the recipe. So easy and so yummy!!! I used a little more sauce than the recipe called for, but I LOVE sauce.
This was delicious! I used the "Best Marinara" recipe from this site as the pasta sauce. This is a yummy lo-carb way to satisfy my pasta craving! Thanks.
