Specification - Recommendations
A Recommended Specification is a work that represents consensus within the XBRL International community and has its stamp of approval. The International Steering Committee considers that the ideas or technology specified by a Recommendation are appropriate for widespread deployment to promote the mission of XBRL International. The current Base Specification is 2.1 and all users are strongly encouraged to use this latest version. Versions earlier than 2.1 are no longer supported or maintained by XBRL International: no errata corrections will be issued for them.
Inline XBRL 1.1 - November 18, 2013
Version 1.1 of the Specification for Inline XBRL contains three new features:
- the addition of an extended mechanism, ix:continuation, for splitting text content within a document;
- the addition of nesting of ix:nonFraction and ix:fraction elements; and
- the addition of support for fact-explanatoryFact links, by replacing the existing mechanism for structuring footnotes with a one based on a new element, ix:relationship.
Minor changes have been made to the grammar and layout of the specification in order to improve consistency and accuracy, but in other aspects, the specification has remained unchanged semantically from version 1.0
There is an accompanying conformance suite which can be downloaded here.
Variables 1.0 - June 22, 2009 with errata corrections to November 18, 2013
This specification is an extension to the XBRL Specification. It defines syntax for structures that support the extraction and usage of information from an XBRL instance and its supporting discoverable taxonomy set. The proposed edits are described in Appendix E
This specification provides building blocks for other extension specifications including for XBRL formulae and for assertions about the expected content of XBRL instances.
The errata corrections to the original recommendation can be found in the document in Appendix F.
For reference, previous editions can be found on the Old Editions page.
Units Registry - Strucutre 1.0 - November 18, 2013
This document describes the structure of the XBRL International Units Registry. The Units Registry is an online listing of units that have been identified as potentially having wide utility. The Registry contains structured information about their purpose, usage and any intended impact on XBRL instance validation.

Versioning Specification - Base, Concept Use, Concept Details, and Dimensions - February 27, 2013
The Versioning Specification is a modular specification, allowing users to implement those parts of the specification that are relevant for a particular use case.
The 15th August 2012 CR release of the specification changed the name and content of some modules in order to add clarity, and to better reflect the requirements of common use cases descriptions of these changes are below:
- Concept Use was previously known as Concept Basic
- Concept Details was previously known as Concept Extended
- Dimensions was previously part of the Instance Aspects module. The remaining scope covered by the Instance Aspects module may be released in separate modules in the future
The text of these specifications may be found at the following links
- Versioning - Base (HTML)
- Versioning - Concept Use (HTML)
- Versioning - Concept Details (HTML)
- Versioning - Dimensions (HTML)
Additional explanatory information about the versioning specifications is contained in a series of Working Group Notes that are available on the Working Group Notes page of this website.
XBRL 2.1 - December 31, 2003 with Errata Corrections to February 20, 2013
A new edition of the 2.1 Specification with errata corrections was issued on February 20, 2013. This edition incorporates no new errata, and is semantically equivalent to the January 25, 2012 edition, but the HTML version is now normative. For reference, previous editions can be found on the Old Editions page.
The schemas for this edition can be found at:
- http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd

XBRL 2.1 Conformance Suite (Candidate Recommendation 5) - January 24, 2012
The XBRL 2.1 Conformance Suite provides more than 200 tests to verify that applications process XBRL 2.1 documents correctly. The normative version of the suite is available as a downloadable zip file. Users should note that this is a non-normative location and the latest versions of tests are NOT guaranteed always to be available. Users are encouraged to download the zip file for routine testing. In the event of any conflict between the contents the downloadable zip and the files at the location above, users should treat the contents of the downloadable zip file as the correct version.
For developers who prefer to work in a "Subversion" environment, the conformance suite is also provided (non-normatively) in a public "read-only" Subversion repository located at http://publicsvn.xbrl.org/svn/public/base-specification-conformance/2012-01-24/
Dimensions 1.0 - September 18, 2006 with errata corrections to January 25, 2012
A new edition of the Dimensions 1.0 Specification with errata corrections was issued on January 25, 2012. This should be used in preference to old editions, but for reference the latter can be found on the Old Editions page.
The Dimensions 1.0 Specification is a modular, optional extension to the XBRL 2.1 Specification which allows XBRL taxonomy authors to define and restrict dimensional information for instance authors to use in the segment and scenario elements of the context element of XBRL instance documents. Its architecture is such that any XBRL artefacts (instances and their Discoverable Taxonomy Sets) that conform to this specification also conform to the XBRL 2.1 Specification and may be processed without error by any processor that is capable of correctly processing XBRL artefacts, even if those processors are unaware of this modular extension

Get a cash offer on your junk car today. We work with the most reputable towers in Fort Smith, Arkansas to ensure a smooth process for you. Don't worry about negotiating with unreliable buyers from internet classified sites like Craigslist or Ebay.
Tell us a little bit about your car like its make, model and condition. Accept our cash offer and you'll be ready to schedule a convenient pickup time! In Fort Smith, pickups can usually be scheduled for the same day.
You'll get paid instantly, right on the spot when the tower arrives. Our Fort Smith buyers are always friendly, professional and respectful.
Most people in Fort Smith don't realize that getting rid of the car in front of their house or garage is easier than they've imagined. In fact, many think it will be a painful process to coordinate with a tower and pay to have it removed. Actually the opposite is true. Towers will pick up your vehicle at a time that works for you (weekends and evenings are very common) and bring cash or check with them when they take the vehicle off your hands. It's a surprisingly simple process, and we find that many people are relieved at how easy it is. Many ask themselves why they didn't do it sooner! The Clunker Junker has partnerships in the junk car industry that can ensure a painless process that will likely make you more money than if you tried to do all by yourself, without any of the headache. This is because many tow truck drivers and salvage yards recycle cars "in bulk" so they get a better price for the scrap metal than someone just off the street may get. This allows them to pay you more money.
The Clunker Junker is the best junk car disposal company in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We offer fast, hassle free disposal of scrap vehicles all over the U.S. Our customer care representatives are professional vehicle disposal specialists that will help you with every part of the junk car removal process. They will answer any of the questions you might have about your Arkansas title and all other papers required in Arkansas to properly get rid of your junk car. Just fill out our short online form and we will begin the disposal process of your scrap car. Our large network of auto wreckers and junk yards will remove your junk car fast! The Clunker Junker is the fastest way to remove your scrap vehicle. If you're attempting to sell a junk car, you have to spend money on a classified ad. Assuming you sell the scrap car, you have to hope the buyer does not call back claiming the car immediately broke down.
For a number of people, calling a scrap vehicle disposal service is the best way of getting rid of your vehicle. Yes, you could contact a tower yourself, but taking advantage of a national scrap car disposal service such as the clunker junker will be far more simple! Not only is The Clunker Junker fast and hassle free, but we'll also scrap your car free of charge! A lot of car buyers might not accept your vehicle if it is in bad condition, or if it is a specific make or model! The clunker junker can dispose of any vehicle, no matter the condition. The Clunker Junker can also help you through the process. We have connections with towers in Fort Smith and all through the U.S.
People all over the country are getting rid of their junk cars with The Clunker Junker. We've recently helped people who were looking for Plano Cash For Junk Car Removal, Cash For Junk Cars In Baltimore, and San Diego Cash For Junk Cars.
Others like you were also interested in Cash For Cars Bend Oregon, Junk Car Buyers Dayton Ohio, and Cash For Cars.

Multi-media Graphic Artist Finds New Uses for an Old Favorite
When he was six-years old, Karl Woody of Leavenworth, KS got a 35mm AGFA camera. That was when he first discovered his love of graphic arts. He was so enamored with the magic of photography that he bought a Sears darkroom kit with his paper route money. Soon he started doing his own black and white processing.
"I've always known this was something I wanted to do," said Woody, now a multi-media graphic artist with kids of his own. After receiving his electronics degree, he got a job at a television station maintaining the electronics equipment. "I was around production technology all the time," said Woody, who quickly moved up the ranks. He went into television production and soon was in charge of an entire TV station based in Kansas.
"Television production has changed so much," Woody said. "It went from a lot of people performing many steps in a process to just one guy with one computer. I found myself doing a lot of TV graphics and I used Paint Shop Pro from the very beginning ? for over eight years now. It's always been an important part of my tool kit."
Currently producing videos for corporate and other clients, Woody has found new uses for Paint Shop Pro throughout his career. "It's a great production tool and also a great finishing tool. If I show a video to a client and they aren't happy with a visual, I always know there's about twenty more things I can do to it in Paint Shop Pro."
"Woody has recently discovered a unique way to use Virtual Painter (VP) in documentaries and video. "There's times when you'll have an image up for a long time because that's what's going on with the audio. The audience is forced to look at this image for some time, and Virtual Painter has given me some great options to keep the images interesting."
"Lately, I have been using Virtual Painter to change an image that I know will be up for a while. Then, in the video, I will transition from the VP'd image to the original?sometimes a dissolve, sometimes a moving blur transition. It creates a unique effect, draws the audience to the production and so far, I've seen nothing like it."
"The topographic effect works well in this process too. It's a great option when having to cover a fixed time with the narrative. It also creates a subtle reference to a time period, as, for example, the audience may see a VP'd image that evokes painters of that period."
Woody uses Virtual Painter to inspire him when faced with some of his more structured projects. "Paint Shop Pro and Virtual Painter definitely help your creativity. I look at it as a creative tool. I have a lot of corporate clients with fairly dry subject matter and the programs help me give the videos a little bit of flair."
This creativity runs deep for Karl. Not only is he a talented graphic artist and award-winning television producer/director/editor, he's also a musician. He enjoys creating CD covers for his CDs, though, he says with a laugh, "they're far from marketable. But that's okay, music is my outlet and my art. Besides, I always have some theme music for my projects."
His daughter seems to have inherited her dad's creative passion. She has started using Paint Shop Pro and Virtual Painter for Web design. "She's always using Animation Shop," Woody said. "That's one thing I appreciate about Paint Shop Pro ? really everyone can use it. Someone who just got his or her first digital camera, who may not even know all the ways their camera works, can do much more with Paint Shop. Then, for people who want more sophistication, there's also that power. It's relatively inexpensive and it's just a really great tool."
"I use a variety of tools in my work but Paint Shop Pro has been a great helper and inspiration for many years." And the AGFA camera and Sears?s darkroom kit? Karl Woody laughs, "I don?t really remember, come to think of it."
"I use a variety of tools in my work but Paint Shop Pro has been a great helper and inspiration for many years." And the AGFA camera and Sears's darkroom kit? Karl Woody laughs, "I don't really remember, come to think of it."

text: A man who was airlifted to hospital after falling off a roof Wednesday will be contacted by Immigration Canada officials upon his release, the Topic has learned. At approximately 11 a.m. Wednesday, emergency crews rushed to a private address on Holland Street West after a worker, believed to be in his 40s, fell off a roof he was re-shingling. The man struck his head on a large waste bin behind him and landed on the asphalt driveway. The victim was subsequently flown to a Toronto trauma centre by an ORNGE helicopter where he was admitted to the intensive care unit. He suffered serious head injuries in the fall, police said, and his condition is being monitored by medical staff. However, the injured man will have some explaining to do once he is well enough to leave hospital. There is currently an outstanding immigration warrant for him and Immigration Canada will be in touch upon his recovery, South Simcoe Police Staff Sgt. Steve Wilson said. "I can confirm that there was an outstanding immigration warrant on the man," he explained. "We have notified Immigration Canada who will follow-up when the man is able to be released from the hospital." Police and the Ontario Ministry of Labour continue to investigate the incident. The man lives in Mississauga.

All, I'm playing with my camera a bit and learning gobs AND heaps with how it operates. We're having much fun, I should say.
My question that I can't seem to really understand is the white balance and the EVF. I took my gray card and did an Auto WB and it did adjust, but the colors are still bizarre. Some are sort of close, some are a mile off, like a red shirt looking magenta, light magenta.
Now it is the evening here and I'm in my office with fluorescent lighting, so I know that's probably causing some (all?) of my issues. Is there something else I'm not focusing on? I don't have an Intel machine here to play with the RAW file, so I can't compare. Mainly just trying to see if the EVF is always funky with its colors. They seem way too saturated.
Thanks for your suggestions.

I like to think of myself as the bastard lovechild of Mother Theresa and Machiavelli dressed in Margiela. I am highly stylized but classic and useful as decoration -just like a woman ought to be. This channel will chronicle the life of a fashionable social entrepreneur- and consist of appearances, people, places, things, networking events and the like- along this journey. Expect my style, beauty and natural hair diary, discussions, by way of rants on social issues, quotes, spirituality and purpose, explore my inspirations and my enlightenment. Some may be humored, most aroused, others disgusted- you're all welcome. Some may ask who is Louboutin and how will he get me into heaven? (Inside note: he won't but we can pretend.) #LookGoodDoGood

Let's take a break from show reviews for a little shoe lust shall we? Feast your eyes on Nicholas Kirkwood's latest collection for Spring 2014, with seasonal twists on the brand's showstopping footwear in lasercut leather, raffia, and cork.
Raffia plays on the brand's signature curved heel pumps, mixed media thong sandals, and cork platform loafers: the latter which feel a bit off-brand and thoroughly relaxed, yet clearly functional.
Lasercut leather adds a girlish flair to an array of styles from peep-toe booties to retro-inspired block heel pumps.
Kirkwood is known more for his eye-catching accoutrements than simple shoes, but some of the collection's standout pieces are more pared-down. Pointed-toe pumps with flashy metal heels and a pair of colorblock loafers are sure to be among the season's wardrobe essentials: minimalism is always in style isn't it?
Head over to www.modaoperandi.com to pre-order all of the above right now.
Thoughts on Nicholas Kirkwood's latest collection?

Through the revival of 1981 anthem "Don't Stop Believin'" on "Glee" and "Big Brother," combined with the arrival of vocalist Arnel Pineda, 2011 proved another stellar year as Journey toured Latin and South America and played 50 shows in the United States. The latter concerts represented a step up in venue size to include arenas and the Hollywood Bowl along with the traditional amphitheaters, fairgrounds and casinos. Touring in support of Eclipse, the band netted $9.9 million from domestic dates while continuing to be a significant player at retail with sales of 703,000 physical albums. Recognizing the group's longevity on the concert stage, band founder Neal Schon and longtime members Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory and Deen Castronovo were honored with the Legend of Live Award at the Billboard Touring Awards in November.list divider

Microsoft's CIO: 'I feel your pain'
I really liked this Ina Fried interview with Microsoft's new CIO, Tony Scott. It gives good insight into how Microsoft "eats its own dogfood," and how it can improve in understanding customer requirements.
On this last item, Scott's commentary was intriguing:
What I am trying to do is improve our world in all three areas. On the dogfood side, I think this is where maybe I bring some value as an outsider. I've been going to Microsoft for years...What I was always disappointed in was the relative degree to which Microsoft could talk to … Read more
Zune users get free Wi-Fi access at McDonald's
Most of the news about today's release of the Zune 3.0 software and devices leaked last week, but one piece of interesting news remained under wraps.
Microsoft signed a deal with public Wi-Fi provider Wayport and McDonald's restaurants that will give Zune users free access, no password or Web page log-in required, to hot spots in more than 9,800 McDonald's.

SAN DIEGO--There are millions of musicians in the world who are talented but haven't gotten lucky enough to get a record contract.
These days, the Internet makes it easier for these artists to find an audience, but there are still countless numbers of musicians who have some skills, but perhaps not all the ones--such as drumming--that might be necessary to finish a song that could make them money.
That's where a company called MixMatchMusic comes into play. It has built a system that it thinks will help these artists find the collaborators and the audience that will result … Read more

OK, all you little machinists,
I finally got all of my packing done. All of the reindeer are fed and we are just about to head out on our trip to visit all the good little boys and girls around the world.
Get to bed early and try to get some sleep. I know how difficult that can be, but if you have been good, you just might get that special present that you wanted. However, if you don't get what you wanted this year, don't lose hope, you might get it next year.
Well, Rudolph and the rest of the gang are tugging at the reigns. Got to go.
Have a Merry Christmas and an even Happier New Year.

Mystery fiction
This article needs attention from an expert in Literature. (July 2011) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2011) |
Mystery fiction is a loosely-defined term describing a cluster of genres of fiction sharing common traits, typically focused on the investigation of a crime.
Mystery fiction is often used as a synonym for detective fiction or crime fiction—in other words a novel or short story in which a detective (either professional or amateur) investigates and solves a crime mystery. Sometimes mystery books are nonfictional. The term "mystery fiction" may sometimes be limited to the subset of detective stories in which the emphasis is on the puzzle/suspense element and its logical solution (cf. whodunit), as a contrast to hardboiled detective stories, which focus on action and gritty realism.
Although normally associated with the crime genre, the term "mystery fiction" may in certain situations refer to a completely different genre, where the focus is on supernatural or thriller mystery (the solution does not have to be logical, and even no crime is involved). This usage was common in the pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s, where titles such as Dime Mystery, Thrilling Mystery and Spicy Mystery offered what at the time were described as "weird menace" stories—supernatural horror in the vein of Grand Guignol. This contrasted with parallel titles of the same names which contained conventional hardboiled crime fiction. The first use of "mystery" in this sense was by Dime Mystery, which started out as an ordinary crime fiction magazine but switched to "weird menace" during the latter part of 1933.[1]
The genre of mystery novels is a young form of literature that developed over the past 200 years. The rise of literacy began in the years of the English Renaissance and, as people began to read over time, they became more individualistic in their thinking. As people became more individualistic in their thinking, they developed a respect for human reason and the ability to solve problems. [2] [3]
Perhaps a reason that mystery fiction was unheard of before the 1800s was due in part to the lack of true police forces. Before the Industrial Revolution, many of the towns would have constables and a night watchman at best. Naturally, the constable would be aware of every individual in the town, and crimes were either solved quickly or left unsolved entirely. As people began to crowd into cities, police forces became institutionalized and the need for detectives was realized – thus the mystery novel arose. [4]
An early work of modern mystery fiction, Das Fräulein von Scuderi by E. T. A. Hoffmann (1819), was an influence on The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe (1841) as may have been Voltaire's Zadig. Wilkie Collins' epistolary novel The Woman in White was published in 1860, while The Moonstone (1868), is often thought to be his masterpiece. In 1887 Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes, whose mysteries are said to have been singularly responsible for the huge popularity in this genre. The genre began to expand near the turn of century with the development of dime novels and pulp magazines. Books were especially helpful to the genre, with many authors writing in the genre in the 1920s. An important contribution to mystery fiction in the 1920s was the development of the juvenile mystery by Edward Stratemeyer. Stratemeyer originally developed and wrote the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries written under the Franklin W. Dixon and Carolyn Keene pseudonyms respectively (and were later written by his daughter, Harriet Adams, and other authors). The 1920s also gave rise to one of the most popular mystery authors of all time, Agatha Christie, whose works include Murder on the Orient Express (1934), Death on the Nile (1937), and the world's best-selling mystery And Then There Were None (1939).[5]
The massive popularity of pulp magazines in the 1930s and 1940s increased interest in mystery fiction. Pulp magazines decreased in popularity in the 1950s with the rise of television so much that the numerous titles available then are reduced to two today: Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. The detective fiction author Ellery Queen (pseudonym of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee) is also credited with continuing interest in mystery fiction.
Interest in mystery fiction continues to this day because of various television shows which have used mystery themes and the many juvenile and adult novels which continue to be published. There is some overlap with "thriller" or "suspense" novels and like authors in those genres may consider themselves mystery novelists. Comic books and like graphic novels have carried on the tradition, and film adaptations have helped to re-popularize the genre in recent times.[6]
Mystery fiction can be divided into numerous categories, among them the "traditional mystery", "legal thriller", "medical thriller", "cozy mystery", "police procedural", and "hardboiled" (for instance, Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon's main detective, Sam Spade. Also cf., Raymond Chandler.).

If your looking for a quick easy romp up a crag to impress your next date than this is the route for you. Look for the easy foot holds on the right face and use the nice hand holds found on the left face. Just keep looking for the holds, they are there. If you're new to climbing this makes an impressive-looking 5.6 route that you can show all your friends. If you are more experienced then use this as a warm up to Mr Numbers or Panic City.
Top rope on second set of anchors from the west
As you look at The Kitchen from the main Rock Canyon trail the Right Corner line is exactly in the right corner. Mr Numbers (5.10d) is on the wall on the right outside face of the corner.
This seemed harder than 5.6, but maybe it was just me. Glassy, with great gear, and way too short.
Unless I missed a set, the second set of anchors has a bit of rope drag - the first set (out over Numbers) has a much better line.
The Mr. Numbers anchors do make a cleaner top rope, but then you miss the crux of the climb as you pull over the top.
I didn't feel like the top part was the crux, but a simple solution for TR'ing is to use the anchors at the top of the formation, and then redirect the rope through the Mr. Numbers anchors. If climbers want to get to the top, just unclip from the Mr. Numbers anchors when you get there and keep climbing to the next set of bolts.
I saw someone leading this, clipping the bolts on Mr. Numbers...they fell while clipping the 2nd bolt and they hit the ground. I think it must have been their first lead climb or something. Should've headed over to Red Slad, or Tinker Toys, or The Appendage instead.

First, thanks to everyone who wished me well regarding my back/neck pain. Yesterday morning I went to a doctor who diagnosed me with a pinched nerve and I spent the rest of the day on a heating pad on my couch. Everything is feeling a little bit better today so my fingers are crossed that everything will keep improving!
Next, I have an awesome company to tell you about today. A couple of weeks ago, pv.Body (of Puravit) contacted me to be part of their review team and after hearing about the company, I couldn't say no. Especially after I heard that they were willing to offer you guys a 20% discount *.
So what is pv.Body? Well, for $39/month you take the quick pvBody style quiz to determine your workout clothes preferences, then experts put together an outfit based on your requests (top + bottom), and if you subscribe, you will receive one FitBox in the mail each month with a new outfit. pv.Body partners with high quality companies like Nike, Lululemon, Hardtail, Adidas etc so that you can get name brand gear for only $39 a month. Pretty cool right?
pv.Body (affiliate link) offered to send me a FitBox to review for the blog and last week they sent me a style quiz to fill out that included the following questions:
- Top-size: x-small, small, medium, large
- Bottom-size: x-small, small, medium, large
- Style: What's your ideal workout? yoga, runner, casual/stylish, gym goer
- Color preference- top: muted colors, bold colors, patterns, black & white
- Color preference- bottom: muted colors, bold colors, patterns, black & white
- Bottom preference: shorts, capris/pants, both
I left my answers pretty open and basically specified my sizes, that I'm a runner, and that I prefer shorts in the summer and capris/pants in the winter. I don't really have color preferences for workout clothes so I left that open– plus, I wanted to see what pv.Body would send me!
Ever since I sent back my quiz, I have been anxiously awaiting my FitBox's arrival. You can only guess my excitement when I saw this big sparkly package waiting for me yesterday!
I opened it up and pulled out the top and bottom– I was impressed by how neatly wrapped everything was, it made me feel like I had just gone shopping in a nice clothing store.
So what did I get in my first FitBox?
I received a purple tank top and a pair of black crops both by a brand called Nux. Honestly, I've never heard of Nux but after feeling the fabric of the Serena Foldover Crop Pants and the Infinity Adjustable T-back Cami I knew that I would love both. I actually spent some time on the Nux website (dangerous because I liked a lot of their stuff) and found out that the outfit sent to me by pv.Body retails for $109! If I had paid the $39 for this box, I would have saved $70. What a deal!
Unfortunately, I have yet to try out either piece of clothing because this morning it was in the 20′s when I went out to run– yikes! I plan on wearing both later this week and while I'm not worried about the fit, I'll be sure to fill you guys in on how they do .
Considering I probably buy (or want to buy ) a new workout outfit every month, pv.Body (affiliate link) is an awesome deal– cute clothes that fit well plus no hassle of going to stores in Chicago…. all for an awesome price! So, if you want to receive a monthly box of clothes USE THIS LINK to receive 20% off when you sign-up. If you're worried about signing up, trying it, and then not liking it or wanting to quit your subscription, you can always log in to your pv.Body account and cancel it (although I'm not sure exactly why you would want to!).
Have you ever participated in a monthly subscription like pv.Body before (monthly wine, cupcakes, clothes, etc)? Did you like it?
*pv.Body contacted me and offered to send me a free FitBox. They also provided me with an affiliate link. All opinions expressed are my own.

Johnson and left tackle Duane Brown could miss Sunday's game at Baltimore with injuries.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that Johnson would be subject to the NFL's concussion protocol and didn't anticipate knowing the Pro Bowl wide receiver's status until late in the week.
Brown is battling turf toe and said he'll be a game-time decision against the Ravens this week.
--Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen is facing season-ending hip surgery, coach Chuck Pagano said.
Allen was injured in the Colts' season opener against the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 8 and sat out last Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He had one catch in the opener that resulted in a 20-yard touchdown.
As a rookie last season, Allen started all 16 regular-season games and had 45 receptions for 521 yards and three touchdowns.
With Allen lost for the season, the burden at tight end falls on second-year pro Coby Fleener. Dominuque Jones also could see more playing time.
Last week, the Colts lost starting running back Vick Ballard for the season with a knee injury.
--Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather was fined $42,000 by the NFL for his hit on Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy during Sunday's game.
Meriweather will not face a suspension despite being a repeat offender of the NFL rule that prohibits leading with the helmet on a tackle. His fine was the same as Tennessee Titans safety Bernard Pollard received on Wednesday for an illegal hit on Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson that resulted in a concussion.
But Meriweather's financial penalty was far less than the $100,000 levied against Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson earlier Wednesday for head shots in Weeks 1 and 2.
Lacy suffered a concussion as a result of Meriweather's helmet to his chin.
Later in Sunday's game, Meriweather sustained a concussion when he tackled Packers running back James Starks.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy announced Wednesday that Lacy was progressing through the concussion recovery protocol but that Starks would start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
--The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive end Robert Geathers on season-ending injured reserve and re-signed safety Jeromy Miles.
Geathers suffered an elbow injury during Monday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. A former starter, Geathers was the team's No. 3 defensive end this year and had no tackles in two games.
The 30-year-old veteran has spent his entire 10-year NFL career with the Bengals (1-1).
Miles was waived Monday and then brought back to fill the roster vacancy left by Geathers. Miles is in his fourth year in the league, all with the Bengals, and has played in 39 games. He led Cincinnati in special teams tackles in 2011 and was second last year.
The Bengals also signed free agent cornerback Curtis Marsh and waived linebacker J.K. Schaffer, who had been promoted from the practice squad for Monday night's game.

There was a huge turnout to the Pikes Peak Workforce Center's annual Spring Job Fair on Thursday.
"We had 14-hundred pre-registered for this event and we expect those numbers to greatly increase," said Traci Marques from the Workforce Center.
77 employers were on hand to meet, greet, and speak with potential hires. Such a large a number of job seekers at one event can have a humbling effect though.
"You know it is a little bit intimidating, but I'm a pretty social and outgoing person," remarked job-seeker Paul Mark Protherow.
And staying positive is key throughout the process of a job search.
"Recruiters when they meet with you, they know if you're positive," said Marques. "They know if you're full of energy and that you really want a job."
And at the end of the day, these people want employers to know they want to work.
"I would love to get a job where there is some teamwork is involved," said Protherow.
And the employers would be lucky to have some of them. Trina Selvey has been searching for work for about four months.
"Go out there, smile, shake hands and get to know people," she said. "That's the main priority."


text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2011PakistanThe floods that hit Pakistan in 2010 affected around 14 million people. The waters swept down from the mountainous northeast into the heavily populated river valleys and plains, driving desperate people ahead of them. In a country already suffering gaps in healthcare provision the need for assistance grew enormously. In the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, MSF teams continued to provide emergency services for people caught up in fighting between government forces and armed opposition groups. Further south, in Balochistan, MSF worked with Afghan refugees and Pakistanis, assisting with a range of medical services, mother and child healthcare and nutrition programmes. FloodsAs the exceptional monsoon rains fell, rivers broke their banks, washing away bridges, roads, villages and livelihoods. Food and safe water were in short supply. The risks of illness and contagion, and the sheer number of vulnerable people completely exposed to the elements were major challenges for the relief effort. MSF staff fanned out to identify the areas and communities most in need. At the height of the flood response, more than 1,600 staff were supporting hospitals, treating injuries and illnesses, running mobile clinics and distributing tents, shelter materials, and washing and cooking kits. One of the most urgent needs was for safe drinking water and MSF quickly engaged in trucking water, distributing up to 2.1 million litres a day. Set against the requirements of so many uprooted people, even these figures were dwarfed by the scale of the disaster. By October, the waters had largely retreated and MSF reduced some of its activities, but at the end of the year teams were still providing medical care and water and sanitation services in Sindh, where the waters were slowest to retreat. Staff were working to provide shelters for the winter and to support the nutritional needs of children whose families had lost their farms or incomes. MSF also started running mobile clinics, and distributing safe water and relief kits in the camps where people had taken refuge in the city of Karachi. Overall in the emergency, MSF conducted over 100,000 consultations in five hospitals, seven mobile clinics and six diarrhoea treatment centres. SurgeryFighting continued in the northern regions of the country before, during and after the floods, as it had for the last five years. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA, the violence shut down hospitals, access roads and the transport of medical supplies. Even if emergency patients found their way to hospital, the limitations of nursing care and low standards of equipment and hygiene did not ensure good quality services. More than one million people depended on MSF to provide free emergency surgery. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, MSF worked in the emergency department and operating theatre in Dargai in Malakand district, where staff cared for around 130 patients each month. MSF started working again in Swat after having left in April 2009, when security incidents had made it difficult for staff to work safely. In May 2010, the team returned and was soon treating around 6,000 patients a month. In Timurgara in Lower Dir, there were some 4,200 patients in MSF's emergency facilities every month. A new project covering emergency department services and emergency surgery was opened in Hangu district, close to the tribal areas, and treated around 1,300 patients a month. In the town of Chaman, Balochistan province, on the Afghan border, MSF supported the emergency department of the district hospital, ensuring that hospital staff could treat and stabilise patients and provide immediate lifesaving care. Maternal and child healthEmergency obstetric care is only available in urban areas of Pakistan, often because of a severe shortage of trained female staff. Women traditionally give birth at home and MSF has been working to reduce the risks by improving access to screening, the availability of skilled birth attendants, and provision of emergency obstetric and neonatal care. In Dargai, Timurgara, Hangu, Kuchlak, Chaman and Dera Murad Jamali hospitals MSF staff are equipped to carry out deliveries and can perform caesarean sections in some facilities. In 2010, more than 7,100 women delivered in an MSF facility or an MSF-supported hospital; 481 delivered via caesarean section. Cutaneous leishmaniasisIn Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, and also in Kurram Agency, in FATA, many people suffer from cutaneous leishmaniasis, the most common form of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by sand flies, which causes ulcer-like lesions and can lead to severe disfigurement. In 2010, MSF launched programmes to provide the simple but lengthy treatment required for the disease, and treated more than 400 people. |

Noticed when i was flying that i couldnt see the runways from the air. I guess there is no runway on the satmap or what you call it underneath the runway textures? When coming closer the runways they become visible again. And thats why they arent visible on the map as well maybe?
Alex72 don't worry, thats already been added in v0.991 (internal release, not published). Along with roads in v0.992 (today's build).
hey ice, could you perhaps give ur latest map to a mission maker team, they can then make a campaign using your scenario and map for a cool campaign that can be working by the time of the v1.0 release?
Question: the troop packs are going to be included in the final release, correct?
Bug: some of the tall apartment-style buildings from Arma 1 collapse very easily. Launch 1 Hellfire into the side of it and the building vanishes into the ground.
Still loving this map
Even though Duala isn't as bad off as Sierra Leone, I'm sure it harbours Kamajor type tribal warriors (complete with magical bullet turning masks and spirit pouches). They may have been trained by external Private Defence Contractors to act as peace-keeping forces but still tend to sacrifice a goat or two before going to battle.
Probably there's also a gang/militia or two who like to use Hollywood movie T-shirts as uniforms with their Warlords dressing in complete bridal gown sets (that bullet turning magic again).
Now we only need a talented addonist to verify these suspicions
Here's an article with some SIG-INT to start from: http://www.viceland.com/int/v10n7/htdocs/gen.php
looks excellent...
still downloading can only get 50kb from either DL link, its horrible! there must be a better host for A2 addons for dl speed.
viibez: problem must be your link, there are even 1gig link mirrors
When is the new version gonna be released? Im eagerly awaiting it!
Click for mah PC specs!

Black Friday is the ultimate test of patience and endurance in the name of retail. While many finish the day with everything on their lists, some are left wondering about their missed opportunities. Luckily Cyber Monday makes many of those missed opportunities and deals just a click away. Here are a few things to keep in mind this Cyber Monday:
1. Do Your Research
Despite avoiding some of the headaches of Black Friday, Cyber Monday has a few small drawbacks of its own—most notably, you can't see, touch or test things in person. Of course, if you're already familiar with a particular brand or product, that won't be an issue. But if you're venturing into new product territory, it's best to research the items on your list ahead of time. Combing through manufacturer's websites, reading reviews by both experts and customers, and even surveying your family, friends and coworkers will make clicking "BUY" a little easier and a lot less mysterious.
2. Search for Online Deals
The great thing about shopping online is the instant access to information, including exclusive online coupon codes and cash back for purchases. If you're savvy, go ahead and sign up to receive emails from your favorite retailers to find out what they're offering and check out special deal sites for the latest offers.
3. Consider Shipping
When you're shopping online, one of your considerations has to be how to you will receive your order—and shipping can make or break a deal. Before you finalize your purchase, make sure to review the website's shipping policy and find out if they offer free shipping promotions. Retailers often provide free or upgraded shipping if you purchase a certain amount or a particular product. Be sure to take advantage of gift-wrapping and other special add-ons to make your holidays easier.
4. Use Your Social Networks
Twitter and Facebook can be a goldmine for Cyber Monday deals. Follow your favorite retailers, search keywords and hashtags, and find posts that may lead to special offers from retailers and online coupon sites. You can also use your own network of friends and followers to get user reviews and see what deals they found. The best thing to do is to just ask.
5. Look for Security
At this time of year, it's especially important to guard against identity theft and other online fraud, particularly when you are asked to provide credit card numbers. Often the website address alone will help you determine your level safety. Website addresses that begin with "https://" indicate the site is secure, and a locked padlock icon on the pagewill confirm that your personal information is transmitted safely.
10 Reasons to Love Cyber MondaySome shoppers love the thrill of the early-morning hunt for a great deal, but finding an amazing offer online can be just as satisfying. Here are just a few reasons why Cyber Monday shopping can be just as good as the Black Friday experience, maybe even better. |
Find great deals without having to endure the long lines, crowds, traffic and 4 a.m. doorbuster madness. |
Get what you want and have it delivered right to your door—no need to figure out how you'll fit everything into the car. |
Shop in your pajamas from the comfort of your own couch. Or bed. Or lawn furniture. Worst-case scenario: from your desk, phone or tablet at work (while on your break, of course). |
Enjoy easy access to yummy Thanksgiving leftovers. |
You don't need to worry about an "accidental" elbow to your stomach from an overly aggressive shopper. |
Get deals and save money while watching your favorite TV show or holiday movie. |
You'll save gas since shopping online doesn't require you to jump in your car and sit in traffic. |
Your feet cannot possibly get sore from clicking deals with your mouse. |
If one site runs out of the product you want, chances are you can find it on another site in less time than it would take you to drive to another store. |

Although I was looking for flannel sheets I chose these. They are incredibly soft and warm, without being oppressively hot. I'm gonna buy more in a different pattern!!
Premier Comfort Cozy Spun All Seasons Printed Sheet Set--Would buy these again.
I didn't know what spun sheets were, so thought I'd try them. Was really looking for same print in flannel sheets, but can't find ANYWHERE. So I settled for these. They are very nice, soft, but still not flannel. But I do like them anyways.
Bought these for my son and he just loves them. A great buy and well worth the money.
I bought these for my daughters bed. We got the queen size zebra print sheets. They are a great quality sheet. I was a little concerned because the price was so reasonable, but they have been washed a couple times already and are very comfortable. I would purchase another set if they had the style we needed in stock.
The sheets are nice, but a little more "slippery" and cold feeling than I like. True flannel is my preference. These appear to be durable, and well-made. Just not my preference.
super soft sheet set. I want to order more for my daughter but they don't come in a girly pattern
Love these sheets. Very soft and comfortable. I got the now leopard and love them.
Look great on the bed and feel very nice. I can not wait to get my next set soon. Thank you
Twin XL sheets aren't easy to find, but these not only fit the bed's length, but have deep pockets that fit a pillow top mattress. Our son loved the first set I bought, so I purchased another set. The sheets launder well and are very soft. Another excellent Overstock find!

Barry B. Benson (voice of Jerry Seinfeld) is your average honeybee. Despite having recently received his diploma from bee college and being virtually guaranteed a bright future in honey, Barry feels he has the skills to pursue a number of different career paths and resents the fact that his employment opportunities are strictly limited to producing the sweet nectar. Upon breaking away from the hive and developing a friendship with an insect-loving New York florist (voice of Renée Zellweger), Barry makes the shocking discovery that human beings eat honey in mass quantities. Having finally found his calling in life, the infuriated Barry decides to sue the human race for stealing all of the honey that his fellow bees work so hard to produce. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
Prophecy Triple Pack
Includes:The Prophecy (1995), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy II (1998), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000), MPAA Rating: R The Prophecy The directorial debut from Highlander screenwriter Gregory Widen stars Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel, who, fed up with God giving all of his attention to humans, decides to stage a sort of coup. With plans of killing all of the good angels, Gabriel decides to enlist the help of a recently deceased and inhumanly malevolent army general. In order to prevent Gabriel from obtaining the help of the vicious Korean War vet, good angel Simon (Eric Stoltz) stashes the general's soul in an unsuspecting young Native American girl named Mary (Moriah Snyder). As Gabriel gets closer to finding Mary, an ex-seminary-student-turned-cop and a school teacher, played by Elias Koteas and Virginia Madsen, team together to protect her. Meanwhile, Satan (Viggo Mortensen) enters into the mix, concerned over the implications the heavenly war may have on his dominion. Later spawning a series of sequels, The Prophecy was released in the U.K. under the title God's Army. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide The Prophecy II Christopher Walken returns as the guerrilla angel Gabriel, the leader of an evil heavenly revolution in which bad angels seek to upset the heavenly hierarchy by destroying humanity and all good angels -- because Gabriel believes God favors mortals. This time, Gabriel has been spit from the bowels of Hell, where even Lucifer tired of the chaos he created. He is stalking the L.A. streets in hopes of finishing his bloody war by murdering the second incarnation of Christ, who is gestating within the womb of nurse Jennifer Beals. Protecting her is the angel Danyael (Russell Wong). As Gabriel is not literate in late-20th-century technology, he enlists the assistance of Izzy (Brittany Murphy), a depressive teen whom he saves from suicide. This follow-up to the popular Prophecy is far gorier than its predecessor. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide The Prophecy 3: The Ascent In the third installment of the series that began with The Prophecy, the Angel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) has taken up residence on Earth, where he's learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life among humans, such as frosted doughnuts and driving a convertible. One night, he witnesses Danyael (Dave Buzzotta), a heretic preacher with a storefront church who tells his flock that God doesn't care much for the people who tend the Earth. A blind man (Brad Dourif) who claims to hear the voice of God shoots Danyael several times in the chest. However, several hours after he's pronounced dead, Danyael rises from his slab at the morgue and heads out into the street. Maggie (Kayren Ann Butler), his understandably upset girlfriend, is then approached by Zouhael (Vincent Spano), a fallen angel who needs Danyael for his own evil purposes. It seems that Danyael is half human and half angel, and both Gabriel and Zouhael want his help. A Spirit of genocide and destruction is about to rise on a Native American reservation, and if Gabriel is going to stop it -- or Zouhael is going to bring it forward -- they will need Danyael's guidance. Prophecy 3: The Ascent marked the directorial debut of Patrick Lussier, who has often worked as an editor for horror director Wes Craven. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Brennan confirmation hearing interrupted by protests
Posted at: 02/07/2013 10:13 PM
The nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency defended the policy of targeted killing of terrorists by drone strikes.
John Brennan's testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee began only after repeated interruptions from protesters, which lead to a brief halt in the hearing.
NBC News earlier this week reported on a Justice Department paper giving the legal basis for targeted killing of terrorists, including American citizens.
Brennan told senators that such strikes, often by unmanned drones, only take place when there's an imminent threat and there's no other alternative, all in the effort keep Americans safe.
And the nominee acknowledged these strikes take place in countries outside of combat zones, such as Afghanistan.
Brennan currently serves as president Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser in the White House.
But he had a long career as a CIA officer., and acknowledged today he disagreed over the last decade with some of the interrogation techniques the agency used, including water-boarding.
Brennan told senators that America is under constant cyber attacks, and that threat remains a serious concern.

Twyford School receives visit from special TV guest
5:00pm Friday 25th October 2013 in Winchester By Lauren Howard, Reporter
STUDENTS at Twyford School received a visit from a special guest last week (October 18) when the winner of TV's The Apprentice came to judge their competition.
Tom Pellereau, a former Twyford pupil, was welcomed back to the school as a panel judge for the year eight's chocolate bar competition as part a design and technology project.
The competition involved each of the 30 year eight students presenting their chocolate bars and marketing strategies to the judges in a dragon-den style, after they had made vacuum moulds and specialised graphics for the wrappers.
Judging alongside Mr Pellereau on the panel was head of development, Jenny Hipwell, and head of art, Rosy Greenleaf.
Head of design and technology, Andrew Lewis, said: "After some great presentations and great deliberation, Mimi Habib was chosen as the winner with her chocolate bar called Rebel.
"Tom said working with Lord Sugar had been a great experience and that winning the programme had changed his life."
After the presentation, Mr Pellereau spoke to parents and teachers about his experiences on The Apprentice, working with Lord Sugar and his latest projects, which include the launch of a range of childcare products following the birth of his son, Jack, last year.

Yurts at Mancos
Mancos State Park has two yurts to provide visitors with an alternative to RV and tent camping. Yurts, reminiscent of tents used by nomads on the steppes of Mongolia and Siberia, are round tents on a wooden frame with circular skylights and windows to provide illumination. View Mancos Yurt Brochure.
Mancos' yurts, located at sites 22 and 24 (campground map), are available for rent year-round by reservation or on a first-come, first-served basis for up to two nights at a time. Yurts can be reserved in advance through the reservation system on the website or by calling 1-800-678-2267 or (303) 470-1144 inside the Denver metro area. Call the park office for more information (970-882-2213).
Both yurts at Mancos have a wooden lattice wall and ceiling. They are nicely complemented with a wooden door, pinewood floors, a ceiling light/fan and a screened skylight in the center of the domed roof. Three large screened windows, a skylight and a ceiling fan keep these ultra-modern tents cool and comfortable in the summer, while the insulated walls and propane heater/gas-log fireplace keep them warm and cozy in the winter.
Each yurt will sleep up to six people. Bed space includes one pair of twin-sized bunks, a double-sized futon and a queen-sized futon. When folded up, the futon beds provide additional seating. You will need to bring your own bedding, such as sleeping bags and/or sheets, blankets and pillows. A propane gas heater is available for heat.
There is a small, round table and four chairs inside the yurt.
Just outside each yurt near the front porch/deck are a picnic table, an elevated barbecue grill and a ground-level campfire ring. Cooking should be done outside but is permitted inside the yurts during bad weather. When cooking inside, please open the windows to allow for plenty of ventilation and avoid frying foods.
Only stoves, lanterns or other appliances designed for indoor use may be used inside. Each yurt has electrical outlets and a ceiling light. Please do not attempt to cook on the gas heater! To discourage animals from entering, the area must be kept clean, and all food should be stored in hard containers. You will need to bring your own cooking and eating utensils.
There is no running water inside the yurts; however, drinking water is available year-round at a nearby hydrant. Vault type toilets are available year-round.
Yurt Fees Two yurts are available for rent. $70 per night $10 non-refundable reservation fee $10 pet fee (if applicable) Maximum occupancy is 6 people per yurt For more information see the reservations page.

Last Chance to get the Powerpack at the v1 Price
Since the v2 release, the Powerpack has remained at the v1 price to allow users to buy the eagerly anticipated v2 at the original price.
Now that v2 has settled in, the price of the Powerpack will be updated to £17 for a Single User License, £27 for a Family License and £32 for a Mega Supporter license.
Buy the Powerpack now and get the best value; Upgrade your existing v1 license or purchase a new license before mid-July to get the current price.
What about the Mac App Store?
Since July last year, the Mac App Store imposes sandboxing restrictions on new apps, much like iOS apps. As Alfred is designed to integrate directly with OS X and your everyday workflow, we opted for the OS X Gatekeeper approach which helps keep you safe while allowing deeper integration with your Mac.
As such, Alfred v2 is exclusively available through our website and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
Corporate Licensing
Over the coming weeks, we'll be rolling out a corporate licensing scheme, allowing larger companies to provide their staff members with Alfred licenses more easily. If you are interested in getting your team up and running with Alfred, get in touch by email and we'll provide more details shortly.

New Arrivals
29 July 2005
Well, what an interesting week it has been! We have had new arrivals, and all the oldies are going great.This week we were lucky enough to receive a new raptor. 'Raptor' is another name for a more specific group of birds of prey. This one belongs to the kite family and is the Whistling Kite, probably one of the most common raptors in Australia. This particular individual (who is yet to receive a name) has unfortunately come into captive care as a very young bird from last year's breeding season and, due to being hand-raised in captivity, unfortunately cannot be released back into the wild.
However, this gives us a great opportunity to use this bird as an excellent educational tool for our daily bird shows in the crocoseum. The crocoseum is certainly an interesting place to have our shows each day. It provides excellent viewing for the crowds, particularly with the birds flying up into the stands, but makes our jobs a little more difficult when it comes to manoeuvring around a full stadium. There are certainly many things for the flier of the birds to be thinking about whilst out in the arena. You need to think about where you are positioned in comparison to other handlers, what and where each individual bird is, who you are going to call, where you are going to cast, importantly not to trip over anyone, and how much time you have left. These are only a couple of the thoughts running through your head whilst working in the crocoseum.
Sometimes the birds can sneak up on you, as can be seen in this week's photo, and when the bird doing the sneaking is a 1.2kg Macaw, it can certainly give you a start. All of this just makes for interesting shows in which the birds are given plenty of freedom of choice as to where they fly, and it also creates plenty of action and funny moments like this one for the crowd to enjoy.
Our Amazing Green-winged Macaws
Green-winged Macaws grow to lengths of up to 90 cm long and have a wingspan of up to 1.2 metres. They have a large curved beak that is used for cracking nuts a ...more
