If you're looking to collect information from your users, there isn't a much easier or more straightforward method than a Web form. If designed well, Web forms provide valuable information; if not, they may scare users away. With this in mind, here are a few key tenets of Web form design that every designer should know. All the examples in this article were created with CoffeeCup Web Form Builder .
"Simplify, simplify, simplify." It's one of Thoreau's most enduring witticisms, and with good reason. When faced with the ever-increasing barrage of information that is modern life, many people find solace in minimalism. This trend has taken an especially strong hold on the Web. Minimalism and simplification draw attention to important page elements. Using lots and lots of empty space makes content stand out.
Part two of last week's examination of the personality of punctuation. Click here to read Part 1. Em Dash and Hyphen Em dashes and hyphens are sisters, and whenever they go out together, they get stopped by strangers. "Are you twins? You all look so much alike!" At this, they roll their eyes. Sure, they look similar, but it's obvious — to them, at least — that they're each completely unique.

Frogs: Class Amphibia
Amphibians crawled from the water over 370 million years ago and were the first vertebrates to colonise the land. Australia has around 200 species of native amphibians, all of which are frogs, belonging to the order Anura.
Most are still dependent on water to complete their life cycle as they have a larval stage that lives in water. The word 'amphibian' actually means 'two lives' - one in water and one on land. Australia has around 200 species of native amphibians, all of which are frogs. About 37 of these are found in Sydney.
One of the factors that allowed the transition from water to land was the development of specialised skin. The skin of a frog is more than just a covering. It is used for a number of important biological functions including:
- absorbing oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide
- regulating their salt content and absorbing water
- changing colour to camouflage themselves
- secreting mucus to avoid drying out (as well as making them slippery, which is a form of defence)
- oozing poisons to deter predators (only some frogs do this).
Frogs play a key role in many food webs, both as predators and as prey. Frogs are carnivores and mostly eat insects. For many larger animals including snakes and birds, frogs are an essential part of their diet.
By observing frog populations, we can get a good indication of the condition of the environment as frogs are sensitive to environmental change. At present, frog populations are declining all around the world.

Some native Australian frogs have been given common names such as Holy Cross Toad and Red-crowned Toadlet because they have short legs, thickset bodies and move in short hops. However they belong to an Australian family of frogs - the Ground Frogs or Myobatrachidae - and are not true toads. Scientists use the name 'toad' only for amphibians that belong to the family Bufonidae. True toads (Bufonidae) occur naturally on all continents except Australia. Our only true 'toad' - the Cane Toad - is introduced
Toads generally have the following characteristics:
* short, sturdy bodies with short hind legs and move in short hops
* warty, dry skin
* a prominent parotid (poison) glands behind the eyes
* often lay eggs in long chains

I agree with CORSO, I thought that was a trait. My knocks of start up also. If the filter is not 2 stage (orange mostly) all oil drains back and allows knocking on start up. I have changed from the orange filter to GM or MOPAR and the knocking goes away. As a service manager, I called the factory hotline about a knock and they asked if it has an orange filter on it not to call them until I changed the filter and rechecked for a knock.
01-08-2012, 09:53 AM #13Interesting info regarding filter types, that is new to me. What is considered an "orange filter", a Fram? I just had my Silverado's oil changed last Tuesday at the dealer. I would think they are using AC Delco filters. Engine still knocks/clatters/whatever you want to call it upon cold start up.
When I had my TBSS I did the oil myself always using Mobile 1 and Delco filters and it too did the same. My Suburban currently has a Delco filter in it and it makes all kinds of racket upon cold start up. The 2 454s I had in my Formula offshore boat always had either Mobile 1 filters or WIX filters, and guess what? You guessed it....knock on cold start up.
Like I said earlier, a GM pushrod motor that does not knock upon cold start up is an anomaly. It's the nature of the beast.-2001 Suburban 2500 LT 8.1

I have used Mobil 1 for years until I switched to Valvoline syn oil. In my Dodge the knock went away on start up, I have noticed this with Mobil 1 in other cars I owned and other poples cars. Chrysler always stated to install a filter with a check valve so the oil would not drain back overnight. Orange is Fram, this list we had to choose from was Wix, Napa (they are the same), Mopar, Ac delco, Puralator and two or three more that I can't think of. Around here the orange filter was not sold for years, just making a comeback in the late 90's early 2000. I use the Mobil filter when I use Mobil1 and Puralator with valvoline. Never had a problem with Mobil1 except start up knock, and no problems with valvoline. I have not performed an oil change on the Suburban but have 5 qts of Mobil1 on the shelf, but not sure if I will use it or switch.
01-08-2012, 03:08 PM #15Yeah, Fram is unchartered waters for me as I have never used one due to their reputation as being junk.
01-10-2012, 05:12 PM #16My Suburban Has 180,XXX miles on it Mine does the same on start-up when its cold its alot worse.I think its lifters seems to clanking/tiny to be mains and it goes away after 20-30 seconds...I always thought if it was main bearings it would have a low clunk clunk at idle and deosnt go away like mine does now...I have an AC delco oil filter and 10-30w oil in it...

thanks to everyone for the great info in this thread. I performed a seafoam clean out of my block in the summer and the knock is in the head/lifters. does this sound like everyone else's noise?
01-28-2012, 09:26 AM #20Yes, it's in the valve train, not the bottom end.

'Tis the season for decking halls, shopping-'til-dropping and all the pomp and circumstance that comes with the Christmas season -- or the holiday season. Or, well ... OK, for safety, let's just call it the festivities leading up to Dec. 25. What once seemed like a time for celebrating with your fellow man has become a polarizing event that helps one judge their fellow man. At some point a line was drawn in the snow with a big ole candy cane. Do you say "Merry Christmas" or do you say "Happy Holidays?"
It's a trick question these days, so think about it carefully. "Merry Christmas" is a sign that you celebrate the traditional, Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. "Happy Holidays" is -- depending on whom you ask -- either an attempt at inclusivity or a refusal to acknowledge the reason for the season. This may seem simplistic, but to some, it really is that black and white -- or red and green.
This highly-charged issue of semantics landed right under Tulsa's Douglas fir, wrapped in controversy and topped with a hateful red bow. Ah, controversy, the gift that keeps on giving.
Across the country, one of the hallmarks of any community is their Christmas parade. With decorated floats cruising down the streets, the echoes of marching bands and the appearance of Santa Claus as the finale, Christmas parades demonstrate Americana at its finest. Tulsa's Parade of Lights has been filling downtown streets with fully-lit floats, larger-than-life helium balloons, and parade-goers for over 75 years. But in 2010, it made a change. There were still floats, marching bands, and the same parade route: the very same parade Tulsans have known and loved. The change they made seemed miniscule, but by changing one little word, a lot of heated words arose in protest.
To adapt to the changing face of Tulsa's diverse population, organizers exchanged "Christmas" for "holiday" and the parade became the Tulsa Holiday Parade of Lights. From the reaction of some Tulsans -- even some of our politicians -- one would have thought that Santa stood atop Tulsa's tallest building and unleashed a furious rain of urine all over everyone's parade.
There just weren't words, there was action. Some enterprising, highly-offended folks decided that if they couldn't make the Holiday Parade of Lights see the, er, "light," then they would do something about it. Now Tulsa has a righteous "festivus for the rest of us" -- Tulsa's Christmas Parade. You better believe it is packed with all things Christmas -- floats, marching bands, Santa Claus. So, SO, very different from that "other" parade, right? OK, so maybe there are more similarities than differences. So many similarities, in fact, the Tulsa Christmas Parade is being held on the exact same date at the exact same time, two years running. Revenge is a cup of cocoa best served cold.
The first year, choosing the same date seemed to be a deliberate decision. This year, the story has changed a bit.
"It's not intentional," said Melissa Armstrong, one of the Tulsa Christmas Parade's coordinators. "When we submit our applications [to the city], we don't know which days are being picked. We pick a day to have a parade that is not too early or not too close to Christmas."
So choosing the date is left up to the stores of the Tulsa Hills Shopping Center and dependent upon city permits. According to Armstrong, that the dates are the same is nothing more than coincidence.
"There is no animosity or anything," Armstrong said. "A lot of other parades are going on outside of Tulsa on the same day. The only controversy was really just the name change."
Larry Fox, coordinator for the Tulsa's Holiday Parade of Lights doesn't agree, however.
"It's a little disappointing," Fox said. "When they [Christmas Parade coordinators] met with me last year, they promised they wouldn't schedule it for the same time; yet they did anyway. Now they have done it two years in a row."
The Parade of Lights has been on the second Saturday of December for over 75 years, but despite newcomers, the threat of competition doesn't have them shaking in their stockings.
"From a qualitative standpoint, the Parade of Lights really has no competition in the city, or the region for that matter," Fox said.
The Parade of Lights features floats built by professionals out of Dallas, helium balloons brought in from California, our reigning Miss Oklahoma, marching bands from the tri-state area, fireworks. All this is broadcast live on KTUL Channel 8.
"It's a tradition we've kept alive for decades, and it just creates a wonderful atmosphere you can't get anywhere else but downtown Tulsa," Fox said.
So maybe the parades haven't buried the holiday hatchet. But for the happy-go-lucky parade-goer, who just wants their family to experience the magic and festivity of the season, a bigger question still lingers. Do they want their kids to have a "merry Christmas," or a "happy holiday?" It used to be so simple.
Obviously this time of year is special to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons, and all are steeped in long-standing traditions. The key thing to remember is that there is no "right" way to celebrate, which means there is no "wrong" parade to attend. Perhaps that is the reason for the season -- acceptance and love in a spirit of harmony. So just relax, have a cup of eggnog and try to keep it jolly out there.

Harassment Prevention in the MWO Community
Posted 26 April 2012 - 06:04 PM
When internet gaming was first becoming easily available with places like GameSpy and Microsoft Gaming Zone, it was a very different place than it was today. Computer gaming took a good deal of initiative between compatibility, patches, weird software glitches and the like. This lead to an interesting divide. MechWarrior 3 on the internet with an incredible community. We helped each other, encouraged one another, and taught new players how to play better. (Lead the target!) This was contrasted by checkers... The game that everyone had access to was filled with cursing, vile rhetoric and hate speech. It was a cesspool of the human condition.
Another contrast. 3-4 months after the launch of Halo 2 was a turning point for me. The community was skilled, intelligent, and friendly. Around the 4th month, it was insulting, troll-ific, and rotten. That was about the same time that the Xbox Live community got the reputation it has today, and it was also about then that I just left my headset muted online.
Please take a look here: http://penny-arcade....sode/harassment Warning: There are some nasty text messages used which are unedited. Use discretion.
I would be saddened to see this community go the way of the others. Towards that end we CAN do something about it.
My fellow MechWarriors, we have a duty to treat one another with respect. For the most part, we do rather well. Before you post something, please take the time to read it. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are trying to insult you or pick a fight. Be nice to the newbies, we were all there at one point. We are the harbingers of the first MechWarrior game in over TEN YEARS! We will rise to the challenge.
To the developers: Would you kindly take a look at the video if you have not already? I think a reputation system for Merc Corp's and other player units would be awesome. You could even roll it in with a Dragoon rating for the unit!
Any thoughts? Any other ideas for preventing harassment here and in the game?
Posted 26 April 2012 - 06:15 PM
I've always thought this community was rather special. Perhaps it's the higher median age, or maybe its just that Battletech fans are that much cooler than everyone else, but this is definitely one of the best communities out there. Especially in terms of respect and "noob" friendliness.
The Developer interaction and sense of community fostered by Garth and others clearly shines in a internet filled with hives of scum and villainy.

Whatever it is that gives this community its civility and maturity, I sincerely hope it doesn't lose it.

Players will get a bad rep over time when enough players see their actions, there are certainly ways to settle the score with troublemakers in game that fall well within the rules, such as refusing to help a known troublemaker in a match (possibly even going as far as letting the enemy team know you won't interfere). Exclusion of known troublemakers from player units will also help isolate them and preserve the rep of the units by not allowing known troublemakers to wear the unit tag.

How many times do you think players will keep making new accounts to harass the community? Having to start over each time will probably stop the majority after a few times. These guys tend to go for the most damage in the least amount of time.
The most dedicated troublemakers will probably just keep making new accounts probably won't be stopped by an IP ban anyway. It's just up to the community to keep reporting/complaining so the in-game mods can take action with bans.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 07:13 PM
Well said.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 07:17 PM
One way to kill the problem would be in the license aggrement to play the game that harassment would not be tolerated at all and will get you banned. They would have to shows signs of repeated offenses or if such actions are recorded some how.

some countries are writing laws to punish internet trolls, severly. but prison doesnt deter anything, just look at the us prison system, 3 meals, shelter, tv, all the sex you never wanted to have. we got people getting put in jail just because its cushier then being homeless. we need to reinstitute hanging as the primary punishment for all crime including obvious internet trollings with racial slurr spamming and incesent insulting. if the fear of death wont deter you then at least you wont be a repeat offender.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 09:46 PM
Report players who are abusive and that means report players who are abusive to others not just to you. I'm sure we've all done it, where you see someone big a complete d*ck to a new player or something but you keep your mouth shut and don't tackle it cos you just want to get the dungeon/battleground done. I know have, but it's wrong because my silence has only condemned me to betray the principles I have about building better online communities.
Guild Leaders (Unit Leaders etc etc) - Make sure you maintain a code of conduct for your members so that they know what is and is not acceptable. Remember these people are going to be carrying your tag under their name, what they say and do reflects on you and yours. Most guilds WoW have codes of conduct and certainly I know any guild I've been in will investigate complaints against guild members which usually result in a guild kick if proven. Nothing provides incentive like not being able to play with your friends cos they think you're a scumbag. Most units seem to have this philosophy anyway which is great.
Institute a code of conduct for the community. LoL gets a bad rap for the conduct of its players, and rightly so a lot of the time. There are some fantastic people who play that game, but there are some real ignorant nasty pieces of work. But one innovation I do like is the summoner's code:
I. Support your team.
II. Drive constructive feedback
III. Facilitate civil discussion
IV. Enjoy yourself, but not at anyone elses' expense
V. Build relationships
VI. Show humility in victory, grace in defeat
VII. Be resolute, not indignant
VIII. Lead by example.
As a set of ideals I think they're exactly what just about every online game community seeks to strive for, unfortunately I don't think they're policed too well in LoL.
So maybe that's what we need to do, sit down as a community and - inconjunction with the Devs/Mods - work out a code of conduct. Set it out now, not 18 months after launch, so that it is ingrained in the community from day one and so everyone new who joins knows the standards this community holds itself to. After all I bet you'd end up getting more consistent players and wider interest from the gaming community as a whole if the game has a nice atmosphere than if you just allowed trolls to persist. Minecraft is probably one of the best examples of a (completely decentralised!) community that holds itself to high standards of conduct and minecraft servers flourish as a result - everyone wants to get onto the best community driven servers and build huge projects together.
Lots of examples from different games but if we can take the good and leave the bad then we can be a beacon in the gaming community.

I think you're kinda missing the point and hyperboling the suggestion somewhat; I know the OP mentions vulgar language but it's put in the context of harassment and hate speech. It's not about a minority of morally self righteous who object to a bit of cursing - considering the number of military and ex-military involved in the Battletech community I don't think you'll see that many who would blush at the odd swear word, or many swear words for that manner. And yes, for those that don't like it there would always be the mute/ignore/profinity filter options, every MMO game has them so I doubt MWO will be any different. Conversational humour and risque subjects are fine for the most part, although knowing your audience and actually being mature about knowing what is and what isn't appropriate to discuss with certain people comes into that.
In my WoW guild our vent chat would often be filled with subject matter or language which I'm sure would probably cause you to blush, but that was OK because we all knew each other, we knew what each of us deemed unacceptable (which wasn't much tbh) and it was amongst us - we did not then have those same boundaries in open public chat channels because that would be inappropriate.
It's like going to the loo in front of your missus; just because you're both comfortable with normal bodily functions doesn't mean it's acceptable to go out and take a cr*p in the street.
Listen to the link the OP put up or take a look at these for the kind of things that should be policed - spot of racism and profanity before you click guys. (kinda difficult to find good examples on youtube search but I'm sure there are many)
TL;DR - IMO it's NOT THE LANGUAGE that's offensive, it's the attitude/rascism/bullying/harassment

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- According to court documents Colorado Springs Police used social media to track down a suspect in a home invasion and sexual assault.
The assault happened July 1, just before 1:00 a.m. at the Cheyenne Crest Apartments.
A woman told police two men broke into her home while she was relaxing on the couch.
One assaulted her, while the other one robbed her.
A 22 year old Fort Carson soldier, Felcion Alexander Charles, has since been arrested.
He is facing multiple charges including sexual assault and first degree burglary.
According to Charles' arrest affidavit he pointed a gun at the victim's head and ordered her into the bedroom. He then told her to take off her clothes but she refused.
The documents said that he then pushed the gun into her head and asked "doesn't this feel real?"
The victim told police she feared for her life so she complied.
The suspect then raped her.
Meanwhile the second suspect removed items from the home.
The victim was then told to wait in the shower while the men left.
According to the victim several items, valued at $4,500, were taken from the apartment including an iPad.
Police had little information to go on but three days later a photo was posted to Instagram from the iPad.
Police were able to track down the account which eventually led them to Charles.
A pair of sunglasses left at the apartment also had Charles' DNA on it.
Police arrested Charles and asked that he be held on a $500,000 bond.
The victim told police she never saw the second suspect.
That suspect has not been identified or arrested at this time.
Charles is set to appear in in court July 16.

Police in North Charleston, South Carolina report that they have found Zuleyma Gonzales unharmed and have arrested the man they say abducted her.
Hoke County Sheriff's deputies report that officials in South Carolina found 13 year-old Zuleyma in North Charleston. She was still with a family friend, Samuel Ramos. She was unharmed and has been returned to her family.
Ramos, who allegedly took the girl from her school in Hoke County on Wednesday and then called her father asking for money, is now in custody, charged with kidnapping. It was feared that Ramos meant to use the money to take Zuyleyma to his native Mexico. He now sits in a jail cell awaiting his fate. It is possible he will face multiple other charges, both in North and South Carolina.

text: Quote:Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said Friday that he was chased by one of four large bears in his back yard the night prior… absent his pajamas. Speaking to the editorial board of Valley News in Vermont, the first-term Democrat said he noticed the bears in the back yard late at night, outside his rental home near Monteplier, where they were nosing at his bird feeders just feet from his windows. After shouting at them from relative safety, for some reason Shumlin said he decided to fetch the bird feeders, explaining that he didn't want the bears to become a frequent feature on his property. "The (bear) charges me on the porch — I'm tearing through the door," he reportedly said. "You almost lost the governor. Security was not there. I was within three feet of getting 'arrrh.'" Shumlin is also quoted as saying: "I sleep like many Vermont boys, without too much clothing at night. I'm not a big pajama person. The bottom line is: The bears were dressed better than I and they could have done some real damage."

The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University is fast becoming one of the premiere business schools in the western United States. Our student body is diverse and international, with students from over 30 foreign countries enrolled in the business school.
What makes our MSHR program exceptional? It is the strategic, performance driven, perspective that undergirds each of our courses. A masters trained HR professional must understand not just the "what" of human resources – but also the "why." They must understand the systems, processes and levers that yield competitive, talent-driven performance in the firm. Beyond this – it is the competence, commitment and passion of our faculty – and students. We (faculty and students combined) form a productive, caring yet demanding, learning community. We are driven by a desire to see professional growth in all who participate. We expect ever-increasing opportunities for our graduates. We expect to a build sense of family as we work and learn together. We expect to develop life-long friendships and to stay connected over time. This is the tangible, yet intangible "secret sauce" that imbues the program.
Despite the economy, Huntsman students are getting jobs! Seventy-three percent of our graduates from 2010-11 found full-time employment within three months of graduation, with an average starting salary of $65,000. All graduates found work within six months of graduation.
Key employers from the most recent graduating class include: Goldman Sachs, Honeywell, Rio Tinto, Disney, etc.
The Huntsman School of Business provides multiple avenues for students looking to start their job search, including Career Accelerators, Career Services, and the Internship Office. The MSHR program also provides an 8 week career workshop free of charge for its students. The workshop provides insight on resume development, interviewing skills, networking, elevator pitches and more. It culminates with a visit to Salt Lake City where HR Executives volunteer to interview the students and provide immediate feedback. Last year we had 21 HR Executives and 15 students attend, so each student was able to participate in a minimum of 6 mock interviews.

The Daunting Task of Recordkeeping in Today's Compliance Environment
by Chris Lindholm Recruitment and hiring processes are changing, and they are changing fast. Similar to how fast the internet changed public lives in the 1990's, elaborate internet tools such as social media, job boards, online diversity associations and job posting requirements are changing the lives of recruiters and Federal contractors right now. In turn, contractors have a lot of questions about how to keep pace with their recordkeeping policies and data collection processes to meet evolving Affirmative Action compliance requirements. read more |
Chris Lindholm has 15 years of experience in Affirmative Action Planning and EEO consulting, which includes OFCCP audit support, risk management, training, and software development. read more |
Using Tests in the Employment Process by Sandra Zeigler, Esq. What is a test? While we commonly think of tests as either a series of questions to be answered and scored or a set of actions to be performed and scored, from the EEO perspective, the definition of test is much broader. Any part of a selection procedure where candidates are considered and some are chosen, while others are not, is subject to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP) (41 CFR 60-3) and, for all intents and purposes, are tests. read more |
Sandra Scott Zeigler, Esq. is a recognized authority on Federal EEO enforcement with 25 years of experience divided equally between the EEOC and OFCCP. read more |
The Inherent Flaws in Availability Analyses by Bill Osterndorf From the advent of the eight-factor analysis, availability analyses have been a central part of all federal affirmative action plans. The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) changed from an eight-factor analysis to a two-factor analysis (i.e. an analysis examining only external populations and internal populations that may be able to enter jobs) more than ten years ago. read more |
William A. Osterndorf is President and founder of HR Analytical Services and has been working with affirmative action/equal opportunity issues for the last 25 years in the public and private sectors. read more |
The Fox OFCCP Report by John C. Fox, Esq. By convention and practice (not by Executive Order, statute, regulation or guideline), OFCCP has never required covered federal contractors and subcontractors to prepare Affirmative Action Plans for minorities for their establishments in Hawaii or Puerto Rico. OFCCP has nonetheless always required federal contractors with establishments in Hawaii and Puerto Rico to create AAPs for Women. read more |

This complimentary webinar was developed based on your feedback. Please join us as we offer it again due to your overwhelming requests. We're taking Federal contractors and subcontractors back to the basics to understand the fundamentals of compliance with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). This webinar is ideal for those who wish to gain a foundational knowledge of OFCCP coverage, requirements, obligations, and enforcement as well as for those who might benefit from a refresher as the OFCCP basics continue to evolve. Join the Local JobNetwork™ team and employment attorney, Carmen Couden from Foley & Lardner LLP, as we explore the what, when, why, and how of OFCCP compliance. The webinar is approved for one HRCI credit towards recertification of PHR, SPHR, or GPHR credentials. The webinar is 1.5 hours with a live Q & A (last 30 minutes) to ask our experts questions. |

Green Party MP Caroline Lucas has been arrested after taking part in anti-fracking protests.
Ms Lucas was among a number of people arrested after staging a protest outside the gates of energy firm Cuadrilla's drilling site in Balcombe, West Sussex, as hundreds demonstrated against fracking.
The arrests come as protesters who oppose the controversial process for extracting shale gas blockaded the headquarters of Cuadrilla while others superglued themselves to a PR company used by the energy firm.
The action at Cuadrilla in Lichfield, Staffordshire, at PR firm Bell Pottinger in central London, and Balcombe comes on the first of two days of "mass civil disobedience" which campaigners have pledged to carry out to highlight their stance against fracking.
The MP had been sat with a crowd of protesters outside the entrance to the site for most of the day when she was marched away by officers and put into a waiting police van.
Protesters could be heard announcing over a megaphone that the MP for Brighton Pavilion had been arrested. They also claimed that Ms Lucas's son was arrested earlier.
The arrest came as police tried to move those who had set up outside the entrance to the designated protest area nearby. They were warned earlier by officers that they risked arrest if they failed to comply with the public order notice they were presented with earlier. While some protesters went peacefully others were carried away by officers into police vans.
Activists are taking part in a six-day Reclaim The Power action camp in Balcombe, West Sussex, after Cuadrilla began carrying out exploratory oil drilling at the site.
Protest group No Dash for Gas accused police at Balcombe of "an extremely aggressive response" to the demonstration, claiming officers charged, shoved and kettled protesters, including disabled people and children
Earlier, Sussex Police said on Twitter: "We would like to reiterate that protesters aren't being kettled and are free to leave the site as they wish."

This satisfying rice dish is great served alongside roast pork or pasteles.
Coconut milk gives these donuts from Seattle's Top Pot donut shop a super-moist interior and a gratifying crust.
Pungent Stilton cheese and malty stout beer enrich the filling in these classic Lancashire meat pies.
Roasting cauliflower in a very hot oven gives it an appealing crisp-tender texture and toasty flavor that pairs perfectly with the tart tahini dipping sauce in this dish.
This recipe is based on one from Gunilla von Heland, a food editor in Stockholm. We found that steeping the saffron in vodka helps boost the flavor of the spice throughout the cake.
This curried chicken casserole (from Atlanta's Watershed) is a Southern Lowcountry classic.
If you can't find sour tapioca starch to make this Brazilian cheese bread, sweet tapioca starch will yield equally delicious results.
We adapted a simple recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything to make these delicate French cookies. Sugar-dusted and flaky and with a toothsome bite, they're also a great way to use up leftover puff pastry.
This Alsatian dish of white-fleshed fish and wine-braised sauerkraut comes with a creamy riesling sauce.
A classic cookie exchange is a great excuse to get together and sample all of your friends' favorite holiday treats. For a fun twist, this year we're planning a cookie swap with a group activity—decorating sugar cookies. Champagne and spiked hot chocolate will keep the mood light, while platters of fresh vegetable crudités and simple tea sandwiches will help ward off sugar highs.
These deliciously fragrant cookies provide a delightful rush of warm spices—and holiday cheer—when bitten into.
One night on a recent trip to Japan, I met some friends at a Tokyo sake bar that was filled with young people sharing sakes and small plates. The waitress suggested a bottle, then returned with it and poured us each a cup. We sipped, and I nearly dropped my drink, staggered by the bold flavors in the glass: tropical flowers, fruit salad, herbs. It was wild and delicious. I had thought I knew sake, but I'd never tasted one as striking as this. -
Celebrate the holidays with any one of these 39 impressive, satisfying roasts. From traditional pineapple-topped ham to roast lamb with rosemary or prosciutto-wrapped pork loin, you're sure to find the perfect centerpiece for your dinner table.
Nisreen Ghanem's kitchen in the village of Burqin in Palestine's northern West Bank is as up-to-date as most any home kitchen I've seen in a small town. The floor is vinyl tile, the counters are Formica, the five-burner stove runs on gas. Nonetheless, when it's time to prepare m'sakhan, Ghanem, a youthfully agile, middle-aged mother of four, spreads a plastic sheet over her floor so that she and her sister-in-law, Mai, can get right down to business, as countless Palestinian women over the centuries have always done, kneeling almost prayerfully over the task.

Green Bay Packers Re-Sign TE Jermichael Finley with Two-Year Deal
According to several reports, the Green Bay Packers avoided any looming franchise tag battle by re-signing free agent tight end Jermichael Finley Wednesday with a two-year, $15 million deal.
Pro Football Talk first reported the agreement per a league source, and Finley confirmed the report through his Twitter account shortly thereafter.
Many have speculated that the Packers would be forced to use the franchise tag on Finley, who at 24 years old looked ready to command a top tight end salary on the open market if he remained unsigned by March 13. It was also widely assumed that Finley would argue for the receiver franchise tag tender, which is about $4 million more than what a tight end would receive from the tag in 2012.
This deal avoids any mess that a franchise tag battle could have created between the two sides.
With a two-year deal at around $7.5 million a year, the Packers might have gotten the best of both worlds.
While the money splits the franchise tag numbers for tight ends and receivers almost down the middle, a two-year deal allows Finley to show the Packers brass that he is worth a longer-term deal down the road. Finley will be just 26 years old when he re-enters free agency again in 2014.
An agreement between the Packers and Finley seemed far apart as recently as late last month, and some opined that no deal would come about between the two sides, especially after an inconsistent and sometimes frustrating 2011 season.

Marvel Buys Silver Surfer & Galactus From Fox!
Marvel Studio Offers A Characters Tradeoff With Fox To Keep Rights To Daredevil! Don't Miss This One! HD Photos!
If your like many Marvel movie fans, you've been waiting, hoping and wishing for Marvel Studio to get their hands back on the rights of some of the properties they had sold away in the past, then today is your lucky day. No, they're not getting back Spider-Man or the X-Men, but the Silver Surfer and Galactus may be in play, and all it's going to cost Marvel is a little more time without one of it's red knights: Daredevil.
The Explanation . .
20th Century Fox has been trying to get something started with a "DAREDEVIL" Reboot for awhile now, ever since Ben Affleck and Mark Steven Johnson damaged the property with their sub par 2003 solo film for the character. David Slade has been attached for quite some time, although there has hardly been much significant progress in getting a new film into production. A few Weeks ago, Slade let slip that he would love to have familiar actor Josh Harnet fill the red horns, but no development has really been made on the project thus far.
And now Fox's Studio's in a giant Galactus sized pickle . . .
According to Variety, unless Fox has a new "DAREDEVIL" picture in front of cameras by October 10, the rights to Daredevil would then revert back to Marvel Studios.
But not so fast faithful readers . .
Fox has plans to turn DAREDEVIL into a "Frank Miller-esque, hardcore 70s thriller" with none other than Joe Carnahan at the helm… but it's going to take them a little more time to get such a film together, much later than that October deadline.
So here comes Marvel coming to the negotiating table with all the leverage in the world, willing to let Fox extend their time frame in order to make the less family-friendly version of "DAREDEVIL".
But what do they want in return? Oh, just . . . Silver Surfer and Galactus. Yeah, you knew it would probally happen sooner or later movie fans.
Marvel Studio is willing to trade that extended use of Daredevil's character time limit, in exchange for the right to use those two big characters from the Fantastic Four segment of the Marvel Universe, with their eyes set of course on Silver Surfer and Galactus for use in their further expansion of the Marvel Movie Universe, post-AVENGERS.
Josh Trank is already attached to direct a "FANTASTIC FOUR" reboot for Fox, but that doesn't mean the Surfer or Galactus has to be a part of his vision for the foursome. It also means we may be moving closer to bringing the rights together for quite a few of these characters with Marvel Studios perhaps partnering up with Fox on future pictures that may involve those whose rights don't belong to Marvel currently.
Negotiations are ongoing, and really the choice is Fox's right now. They can risk losing Daredevil for nothing, as October is rapidly approaching and looks like an impossible date to make in order to hold onto those rights, or they can offer up a couple of characters that don't hold as much value to them in order to proceed with Joe Carnahan doing "DAREDEVIL".
It's quite clear which characters are most important to each studio right now, so let's see this deal happen, and hopefully some really quality flicks are made as a result of it, because just the possibilities of such an agreement are extremely exciting. We'll of course keep you posted as more details come in . . .

Rosslyn Park still unbeaten in rugby's hardest league
2:44pm Thursday 31st October 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Forget the Championship or the Aviva Premiership, the toughest league in rugby union is National League One, or so says Rosslyn Park head coach Alex Codling.
Despite his proclamation, Park are the only unbeaten team in the table following a 48-17 win over Worthing at the weekend.
The bonus point victory, coupled with a first defeat of the season for runaway leaders Doncaster Knights, mean Codling's men are second in the table, three points behind the side relegated from the Championship last season.
A penalty try plus scores from Charlie Broughton (two), Hugo Ellis (two), Scott Sneddon, pictured below bagging his second try, and Sam Shires, as well as 13 points off Sneddon's boot did for Worthing, ahead of Park's trip to Fylde this weekend.
Codling said: "It was a tough game, so to win was pleasing and to get the all- important bonus point was very pleasing.
"Yes, the Knights lost, but we cannot think about them, we have to concentrate on our own game.
"There are areas that need improvement. Our execution of plays is sometimes a little off, and we need to learn to make the right decisions in certain situations."
With only one team promoted out of National League One, the task of reaching the Championship is a tough one but Codling thrives upon the challenge.
"I have no doubt this is the toughest league in rugby union, and maybe in any sport, and there are two reasons for this," he said.
"The level of rugby is very high, there are a lot of players who would not be out of place in the Championship, mixing it with players who work for a living, and then train in the evenings.
"Also, the commitment needed to be successful is massive because of the huge amount of travelling involved for the players.
"There are some long trips which can ruin whole weekend for players.
"Those factors make this a very difficult league to get out of."

But Codling, who took over the coaching reins from Jan Bonney in the summer, has been more than impressed with the set-up at Park, and, saliently, the players' spirit and commitment.
He added: "They are a great bunch of lads here, and we're all working hard to ensure we maximise the time we have together.
"There is a very long way to go, but I am enjoying the challenge, it's why we do it, it's why we love rugby."
Codling is without Will Bowley and Will Simpson for the trip to Fylde.

Siren, or Forbidden Siren to those of us in PAL regions, is coming to the US PlayStation Store next Tuesday, a post on the US PS Blog has announced. The 2003 survival horror classic didn't set critics on fire at launch but has become a cult favourite, noted particularly for its deliberately traditional Japanese spooks, which went down well just as Asian horror cinema was gaining wider appreciation. The SCE Japan production spawned two follow-ups including a PlayStation 3 re-imagining of the first one. No word on pricing or European launch as yet.

Game consoles are third largest category of connected devices in the US – NPD
The latest NPD report cites game consoles as the third largest category of online devices connected to the Internet by residents of the United States. Figures in the report show 425 million web-connected devices in US American homes, 39 million of which are game consoles. The figures are interesting because the most recent US census report shows 315 million people live in the country – meaning there are 110 million more devices connected online than there are residents. Other connected devices used are as follows: desktops/laptops (183.8 million), smartphones (133 million), 31.8 million tablets, 16 million online HDTVs, 12.9 million connected Blu-ray players, and 8.5 million streaming media boxes.
