This guide is excerpted from our much larger Adventure Guide to Provence. It zeroes in on the bustling, fascinating city of Marseilles and the surrounding area of Aix en Provence. For years, Ferne Arfin has been playing in Provence, a place where Van Gogh spent his most prolific years painting. She draws from her experience to tell you about the people, their culture and the way of life. Covering every town, village and city in the region, this book takes you sightseeing, shopping, and to the best beaches. Comprehensive background information - history, culture, geography and climate - gives you a solid knowledge of each destination and its people. Regional chapters take you on an introductory tour, with stops at museums, historic sites and local attractions. Places to stay and eat; transportation to, from and around your destination; practical concerns; tourism contacts - it's all here! Following are some reviews of the complete guide: "The Adventure Guide to Provence and the Cote d'Azur offers plenty of practical information for the visitor who wants to explore the region. It includes info on places to stay and eat, but that isn't its strongest point. Its best features are the adventure tips it provides for each area (boating, biking, walking, kayaking, windsurfing, you name it!) and the pertinent background information that adds depth to a visit: for example, a note about French author Antoine de St Exupéry when covering Agay, a word on Winter on the Mont Ventoux. These fall outside of the classic insights on these locations. As a frequent and long-time visitor to the region, I find the information in the guide right on the mark and recommend it highly." -- Florence Chatzigianis. "I've just returned from a trip to Antibes and Nice and I used this book as my guide. The recommendations were spot on; really terrific. This is a rare thing, a guide book that inspires and tempts you without making your head spin. All the detail you need is there but this book is so mu

Might be a little buggy at this point. Let me know if you find any.

All my videos are in HD quality
Uhm, there seems to be no reason for it to show "Replay controls" I mean, we already know, and you could put everything in 1 line instead of 2 saving a lot of space without it.
And the first time I used it, it dissapeared after clicking on it and I don't know how to show it anymore.
is there a way to put the vision of messages spectators?
thank you very much
So sexy! GJ. Can you add some options to move the button around? Because the movf doesn't work for spec ui you can do what Bard did with his ui options.
Does this on spec mode highlights top farmer, kills etc like on honcast?
I'll definitely use this if you add the ability to adjust cam distance like another replay interface had.
I definitely like the autoskip feature, even if it is fast forward. Great mod, very clean, simple lines, easy to use. 3 thumbs up.
i havnt actually tried this mod yet, but the main reason i used "slim down replay interface" was because it had a little spot where you could type in a game time and press enter and it would skip to that time. would you be able to implement that functionality into this mod?

Prison Outreach
International Prison Outreach is an initiative supported through the kindness and generosity of our readers through which we provide subscriptions to Bible Alive, books and other Christian resources to prisoners throughout the world.
Through the generosity of our readers we are able to send Bible Alive into prisons in the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Europe and overseas.
We have always been so encouraged and moved by the feedback we get from prisoners who receive Bible Alive. We encounter in their letters humility, honesty, gratitude and thankfulness both to God but also to our readers who witness to the truth that prisoners are our brothers and sisters and we must not forget them.
Here is an example of the some of the comments we have received from prisoners:
"Bible Alive helps me to journey with Jesus throughout the year. Sometimes it is hard to grasp the meaning/message of a scripture text and I feel if gives us the real message behind a verse from the Bible. Bible Alive keeps us alive in the life of the Spirit. It helps us to understand and know God in a deeper way. You give words of hope to the afflicted and in difficult situations. Bible Alive has helped me not to fear what may come but gives us courage to face the future. Thank you and God Bless."
"Thank you for enabling Christians in prison to maintain and deepen our faith which will help us when we get out to walk with the Lord along the right path. Every day there is something that resonates and through which God speaks to me to confirm my commitment or to encourage me to walk along the way of Christ. Thank you for the excellent quality of production, so often prisoners have to put up with third rate things because its only for prisoners and it doesn't matter rather like much (but not all) of the treatment we get in prison especially from those who are supposed to be helping and caring for us. The quality paper, the clarity with which end page is presented and the high standard of writing show that you do care for us. Those of us who recognized this are encouraged and it helps me to be utterly determined to follow a new path when I'm out and to keep up this constant contact with God in whatever I'm doing. Over a period of time of course the daily readings means that most of the Bible gets read!"
"Bible Alive makes me think how lucky I am and that there is always someone else worse off than me."
"Bible Alive is very put together and easy to read."
"When I read it first thing in the morning it lifts my spirit and me going through the day."
"It is a real treat to immerse one's self in a daily reading and prayer and something I really look forward to. Bible Alive is a great asset to any prisoner."
"Thank you wholeheartedly from a prisoner."
"Bible Alive embraces me into God's family irrespective of the bars and guards that surround me."
"I had never seen Bible Alive before. Some ladies visited the prison regularly arranged for me to receive it. It was a simple and practical gesture but it meant a lot to me and welcomed me into the Bible Alive family and I felt one with all your other daily readers. Isolation and loneliness are real problems that effect people in prison making us feel lost and alone and hopeless. It is so important that prisoners can receive the hope and love of Jesus Christ."
"Supplying Bible Alive to prisoners is God's grace, love and mercy. Thank you and may the blessings of God's love be with you. Bible Alive inspires me and helps me to think of others first and to love my neighbour. Bible Alive has brought me closer to God through the daily reflections."

About Alive Publishing
Alive Publishing is a Catholic Christian publishing house. The company, which has charitable status, was incorporated in 1996 with the launch of Bible Alive, a Catholic scripture magazine, rooted in the daily and Sunday liturgy of the Catholic Church.
We recognize and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit in our time and rejoice in the way in which for many, lay people and clergy alike the Bible is a living book: alive, active, dynamic and life giving.
As a Christian publishing company we look to scriptures, the living tradition of the church, the saints both ancient and new, the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI for inspiration, guidance and light. Our magazines, books and newspapers are rooted in a vision which is informed by the Holy Spirit, guided by the teaching authority of the Catholic Church and strengthened by daily conversion, repentance and prayer.
We draw special strength and guidance from Dei Verbum and the Gift of Scripture, a document published by the Bishop's Conference of England Wales. We do so because of the light and wisdom both documents offer the church on reading, praying and living the scriptures in our daily walk with Christ. The bishops at Vatican II urged each believer to: 'to learn 'the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ' (Philippians 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. . . . Let them go gladly to the sacred text itself, whether in the sacred liturgy, which is full of the divine words, or in devout reading. . . . Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For 'we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles' " (Dei Verbum, 25).
Through all our publications but in a unique way through Bible Alive our hope is to encourage our readers to respond to this invitation.
The first letter which opened the first edition of Bible Alive expressed our goal, mission and vision: 'In November 1994, Pope John Paul II wrote a document called Tertio millennio adveniente, concerning the coming of the third millennium. The Pope reminds us that all of time has been made holy because of the coming of the Son of God into our world. Since the Incarnation, the death and the resurrection of Jesus, and the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, every moment in time has become charged with the presence of God and the salvation he offers the human race.
This understanding of time underlies the daily meditations we shall be producing each month. For each day is an opportunity to meet God, through his Son. As the Holy Father says: 'Christians… should turn with renewed interest to the Bible… In the revealed text it is the Heavenly Father himself who comes to us in love and who dwells with us, disclosing to us the nature of his only-begotten Son and his plan of salvation for humanity' (TMA 40). As you pray and read scriptures each day allow God's word to speak to you.'
As Catholic publishers our vocation and call is to be faithful to this vision and encourage our readers, Christians of all denominations and men and women of good will to know the fruit, blessing and grace of scripture and in so doing draw close to the Father who loves us and gave his Son for us.
The name Bible Alive is grounded in scripture. The writer to the Hebrews described the word of God as being like a two edged sword, living and active (Hebrews 4:12). Our contributing writers would testify that the Bible coming alive was a major part of a renewed experience of God, the grace of a second conversion. It is precisely from this experience of God, the rich treasure we have in the daily liturgy and an active prayer life that grace and insight is found to write the daily reflections which give life to thousands of readers around the world every day.

By David Weidner
After covering the tobacco industry for three years in North Carolina, I moved to New York in 1997 to cover a really dirty business: Wall Street.
Fifteen years after I made that switch, I'm moving on again. More on that in a moment.
Wall Street, like just about everything else, including me, has changed a lot in that time. Also, it hasn't changed a bit. What follows are 15 takeaways from my time living in New York and covering the financial industry and the markets.
Simple is better : For 60 years, a 37-page document kept the financial system relatively safe. It was called Glass-Steagall. In the 13 years since it was repealed in the name of modernization, we've seen a tech bubble and the greatest financial crisis since the stock-market crash of 1929.
You can't time the market : Also, technical analysis is phooey. Momentum plays are foolish. Anyone who wants to sell you a plan to beat the market is full of baloney. Investing schemes are exactly that. As I've written before, some people will tell you that you can hedge your bets. But insuring trades has never made sense to me. If you have to spend money to hedge a bet, it probably means you can't afford to invest the money.
When it comes to markets, what can go wrong, will, and bubbles happen. The problem is we never know which is which until it's too late.
Timing is everything : Market journalism should be written in two ways. The first would give you the trader's perspective. The second would be for the long-term, buy-and-hold investor. Too often, we're caught up in the daily fluctuations in our portfolios. What really matters is what the investments are worth when we need them.
Pay is the problem on Wall Street : Why is it that we know the names of Kweku Adoboli, Jerome Kerviel, Ina Drew, Bruno Iksil and Nick Leeson but not the names of all of the "rogue" traders who pulled off massive gains on their speculative bets? The answer, obviously, is that winners get promoted. Only losers are hung out to dry.
Too cozy for comfort : It's less of a problem since the financial crisis, but the business media are still too cozy with the powerful on Wall Street to do their jobs correctly. The media still fawned over Wall Street stars such as Jamie Dimon at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM +0.43% ; Eliot Spitzer, former New York governor and attorney general, and Jimmy Cayne of Bear Stearns. Why? They all dished tips or dirt on their rivals. Access journalism still dominates the landscape, and you -- the reader -- suffer for it.
Mutual funds are a waste of time : The fund industry was my first beat in New York. Here's how it was explained to me: You buy a fund. The fund trails its index but you pay a management fee and other fees that are usually diminishing returns. You will pay a fee to buy the fund, or exit it, or both. Index and exchange-traded funds are the best thing to happen to investors since cash.
Donald Trump :Living in New York, we get a warped sense of how regular people view big finance. Most Americans, when they think of the rich and powerful of Wall Street, don't think about Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/188479/delayed/quotes/nls/gs GS +1.00% , or Steven A. Cohen of SAC Capital, one of the most powerful hedge funds in the world. They think of Donald Trump, a reality-TV star of questionable wealth who's had several business failures and bankruptcies and is generally considered a credit risk to bankers on Wall Street. Sophisticated investors? They think of Warren Buffett.
Break up and make up : Mergers and acquisitions are a necessary evil in the modern corporate world. That said, most of these deals are put together for the wrong reasons. CEOs and top managers get huge payouts. Investment bankers get huge fees. Shareholders get paid off. On the flip side, these deals eliminate competition, are used to pad or obfuscate financial results. They almost always cost jobs, disrupt business, make customers miserable. And studies consistently show, their biggest selling point, "efficiencies," almost never pan out.
My favorite places to meet for interviews : Harry's at Hanover Square, Ulysses, 21, Four Seasons, Pershing Square, Rue 57, Gabriel's, Gramercy Tavern, Bouley, Margon, Del Frisco's and Cafe Metro. And that's just the few I thought of this morning. I know I'm leaving some out.
Jamie Dimon : He is the smartest guy on Wall Street -- and the most arrogant.
'He was like a father to me ... he would do anything for money' : This is what I was told by a close "friend," "colleague" and understudy to a big-shot investment banker to the financial industry (he advised banks on mergers). This Mr. X was rumored to be leaving for a rival bank for a significant amount of money. The first part of the quote illustrated to me the bizarre but nurturing environment between bankers. There was a lot of loyalty. The second part of the quote showed the only thing that was more important than anything else.
Best of the rest : Consistently the best reporters and commentators on Wall Street outside of the Dow Jones empire, which includes MarketWatch and The Wall Street Journal: Josh Brown of the Reformed Broker, Mark Gongloff at the Huffington Post, Barry Ritholtz of the Big Picture, John Gapper and Martin Wolf at the Financial Times.
What's it worth? Investments are always priced at their worth. Forget price-to-earnings ratios, return on equity, value relative to peers and that other stuff the guys on Wall Street uses to rationalize a trade they want you to make. If a stock is $10, it's worth $10, because that's what someone is willing to pay for it, and that-- not the underlying company's prospects or some other metric -- is what matters.
Amazing when you think about it : For all of its problems -- and, honestly, I've probably complained too much (and at times unfairly) -- Wall Street and the business of high finance and banking are vital to the country. After all, from the first continental railroad to the first computer to Facebook Inc., a brokerage or bank made it possible by taking a risk. Has the industry been rife for abuse? Absolutely. But few of our great entrepreneurial success stories don't involve a traditional bank or brokerage. And it's not just the big stories. Banks play a role in our first homes, our new cars, our school loans, our small businesses.
You can argue that the system is out of whack, rewards thieves and has paid off and controls the political system. It's true that in the financial crisis of 2008, the system broke down and banks stopped providing the services for which we paid.
But we need Wall Street as much as Wall Street needs us. Which is why we need to ...
Pay attention : Following the scandals, the controversies and the issues on Wall Street can be infuriating, boring and discouraging. Working to change the system may seem impossible. But if you've read this far, you obviously are at least curious. Or a glutton for punishment. You have what it takes.
And though I will be gone for a couple of weeks, when I return, my columns will come from San Francisco, where I'll be taking a different angle on finance.
Until then, remember: Greed is good, but good is better.

Jordan*Con 2012
I've been so busy this week preparing for this weekend that I haven't found the time to post. But now I'm just sitting around waiting for my mom and my aunt to show up (they're taking the kids this weekend for me), and I have a few minutes. So what the heck, I'll make a quick post and tell you what I'm up to.
I'm going to Jordan*Con.
It's a local con dedicated to the memory of fantasy writer Robert Jordan, whose Wheel of Time series is one of the most beloved franchises in recent fantasy history. Had he not bogged down his novels with repetition and unwieldy narrative around book 4 or so, and had he not… died… well, he'd likely be right up there with George R.R. Martin. We might be watching The Wheel of Time on HBO, along with Game of Thrones.
At Jordan*Con, I've been invited to do three writer panels - one on independent publishing, one on the advent of e-books, and one on self-marketing. If you know me, then you know I have a lot to say on all three subjects.
Aha! That's the doorbell. They're here.

I am about to start a new project in building Garden's Eel. Has anyone had any experience with this design or better yet have any of you built one?
I am about to start a new project in building Garden's Eel. Has anyone had any experience with this design or better yet have any of you built one?
Have you got a link or pic? Can't find anything w/Google. Are you talking about a John Gardner boat? Still can't find it.
Here is a picture of Garden's Eel for the Woodenboat My Boat site.

Les Schuldt restored one out here a few years ago and did a *lovely* job, so you might try sending him a personal message via the Forum.

"The enemies of reason have a certain blind look."
Doctor Jacquin to Lieutenant D'Hubert, in Ridley Scott's first major film _The Duellists_.
A few years ago, i looked hard at the Eel design for a client. I concluded that one detail had to be changed, the rudder. It takes much too much draft and looks fragile to me. I was thinking of a bolger style shallow-draft end-plate rudder. Maybe i can find my notes.
If memory serves correctly, an Eel was built over in Australia that had a Bolgeresque rudder in place of the original. The owner was very impressed and happy with the design. Eel is a lovely boat. I boarded Robert Alber's lovely Eel "Glory" he'd built some years ago. Yes, Eel is a lovely design, well, except for the rudder
I have plans for the Eel and I keep thinking about building her. I had objections about the draft of the rudder being too great, and in my area the potential to get caught on millfoil was significant. But, fortunately the plans show a rudder design that uses an insert placed in the slot. If the rudder got hung up on something this insert could be removed and the rudder pulled up into the slot.
The Yahoo photos show some good pictures of this rudder design.
What does a bolgeresque rudder look like?

Here's a nice Eel photo from Tim Whitten's Port Townsend thread
Much appreciated all the information and pictures here. I have done multiple web searches and never cameup with these photos although the Port Townsend site from last year had some good ones as well.
I am really concerned with the rudder as many of you are as well. It seems very delicate in relationship to it's depth below the keel and also it's susceptibility of going aground and jamming well before the keel hits bottom. Seems like a recipe for disaster. The idea that the rudder can be removed is great but how often do you get enough of a warneing of trouble and it so you have a million things to do now plus trying to pull up a rudder at the sametime. Sounds like I'm talking myself out of building a really oretty boat.
There has got to be a way to hang the rudder off the stern? The angle of approach there is pretty difficult? Any more ideas?
Of course you can have the centerboard down to give plenty of warning of going into shallow water. And/or modify the rudder so that it can pivot up somewhat like a hobie cat rudder. I'm not a naval architect and I don't know how the designer would feel about that but my first thinking is that it would work ok. If you built the same sort of rudder insert as in the design but put a pivot where the rudder attaches to the rudder stock then that would mean minimal mods to the boat. If it didn't work then just revert back to the original design for the rudder.
Rich, I own one of these beautiful boats. It was built by Steve Rander of Schooner Creek Boatworks for me in 1978. Check out their website for some great photos of an EEl that was built after mine. My boat is a daysailer without cabin or self draining cockpit. Believe me, it sails as nice as it looks. I would leave the rudder set up just as Mr Garden designed it. Steve realized the vulnerability and overbuilt the rudder shaft to withstand any mistakes. When I know that I am sailing in shallow water I raise the rudder using the mizzen halyard with a loop over the cleats on the tiller to hold it and stear with an oar that has a lock mounted on th stern.
E-mail me if you have any questions on the boat.
Klondike, she is beautiful. I remember the Eel from WB or Classic Boat (late eighties I think). I just checked the Schooner Creek site. http://www.schoonercreek.com/new_con...ional_sail.htm There is some good info there, including a PDF with lines drawings.
Do you know how heavy your boat is?
I believe that she weighs about #1,500 finished. As you can see it is of WEST construction. When we took her off of the mold I could not believe how light the hull was. To try and get close to the water lines we built a lead shoe that weighed #400 it probably needs #600.
Thanks Klondike, and welcome to the forum.
An absolutely stunning boat! The Schooner Creek website is pretty cool. I was impressed by the guy who took his Eel up from Seattle to Alaska.
Another question I have for Klondike is who made your sails? I checked Sailrite but they don't have a kit for this boat.
The sails were made by Smith sails in Portland Oregon.
On the Schooner Creek site there are two EELS shown. Kestrel was hull #1, an open boat, still active in the Portland area. Hull #2 is mine Odalisque and is usually sailed on the Columbia River or the South Puget Sound. Hull #3 was Otter, a cabin model with a self bailing cockpit. After it was completed, it was sailed to Juneau Alaska from Anacortis Wa. in the early spring. That trip, across some stretches of open ocean demonstrates the capability of this boat.
Back to the question of the rudder, this boat handles like a little cow pony, balanced and quick. i would hesitate to make a change.
Hi Klondike,
I was wondering if this was Odalisque. I drove past Schooner Creek this spring and saw her in the yard. With some trepidation I asked in the office if I could admire her and they said yes, so I spent some time trying to figure out elements of construction, wishing I had a camera all the while. A real beauty and it is great to hear you have had her since she was built.
Dave, yes it is Odalisque. It was at Schooner Creek being fitted for a new galvanized trailer. The owner of Kestrel had his axel rust through last year and since my boat had as much salt water exposure as his I did not want to take any chances.

We know high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is no surprise that binge drinking isn't a healthy habit, either. A new study now suggests that combining the two may nearly double your risk of dying from a stroke or heart attack.
Double trouble
The study followed 6,100 South Koreans, 55 and older, for two decades. Compared with teetotalers with normal blood pressure, men with high blood pressure who occasionally drank more than six drinks in one sitting had nearly double the risk of dying from heart attack or stroke, according to the study. Men with severe high blood pressure are at an even greater risk with those same six drinks quadrupling their chance of a deadly heart attack or stroke.
The study indicates that binge drinking compounds high blood pressure. "There have been studies that (drinking) alcohol can increase blood pressure 15 to 20 points," said J. Carl Teeters, M.D., a cardiologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. "And if you start off hypertensive, raising your blood pressure 15 to 20 points probably does as much as double your risk of stroke, so this certainly fits."
Lethal combo
Normal blood pressure is 120/80. In this study, severe high blood pressure was considered to be 168/110 or higher. High blood pressure is known to damage blood vessels and drinking alcohol may contribute to hardening of the arteries. It also may make the arterial plaques that cause strokes and heart attacks more unstable.
The study included too few women binge drinkers to determine whether the same patterns were true for women. However, the American Heart Association recommends that men and women consume no more than two drinks and one drink per day, respectively.
Binge drinking is not healthy. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is unhealthy. Together, they can be deadly.

My grandparents are alumni of Mount Union and are still very active on campus. I grew up with the University, wearing Mount Union hoodies in elementary school and getting Raider gear every year for Christmas. I actually chose to attend Mount Union partially because my grandparents live nearby and the closeness of the campus community. I knew I would get more out of an education if I could have the type of one-on-one relationships with professors that Mount Union offers.

Gerald R. Ford
Former President Gerald R. Ford headlined Mount Union's inaugural Schooler Lecture Series program for the 1988 academic year.
President Ford presented lectures in conjunction with the theme "The Future of Democracy." Ford presented his lecture Wednesday, September 28, in the Timken Physical Education Building.
The Schooler Lecture Series is made possible as the result of a gift from the Schooler Foundation provided by Mr. and Mrs. Seward Schooler of Coschocton, Ohio, to the College's Foundation for Tomorrow Campaign. The intent of the Lecture Series is to bring major speakers to campus to address an annual theme.
President Ford has an impressive record of distinguished and devoted service to the nation. As a Congressman for 25 years he had an active role in shaping the direction of his country and as the 38th President of the United States, following the resignation of Richard M. Nixon in 1974, he restored the confidence of the American people in their government at one of the most critical and extraordinary periods in American history.
After his term in the White House ended in 1977, President Ford continued to serve as an elder statesman speaking on major issues of the day and lending his expertise to both the public and private sectors.

Classic lines, without dropping into Preppie territory; funky proportions give these pieces a strong whiff of cool.
Bright Young Things designer Eliza Starbuck was the creator of the dress behind the much-lauded Uniform Project (the concept which suggested, beautifully, how a single dress could serve as the backdrop or frontspiece for a year's worth of sartorial choices).
The BYT show during New York Fashion Week at the Greenshows at the Metropolitan Pavilion featured about half of the Uniform Project's LBD's accessorized to the hilt, moving from supersexy to ubercomfy boho to work-appropriate and back again. The second half of the show expanded the idea of great quality basics (8 multifunctional pieces including shorts, blouses, trousers, skirts) that could purposefully be worn every which way (see video of runway show below to get a feel for how the clothes really move).
For those of us who can't (or more properly, don't want to) live with one dress alone this debut collection really worked the 'simple is good' concept to its logical conclusion with pieces in neutral colors and uncomplicated, wear-anywhere fabrics, made from sustainable textiles like organic cotton and linen.
To top off the 'simple + real = beautiful' motif exemplified by her collection, designer Starbuck also chose models of varying ages and sizes to walk in her clothes. "It was great to feel special in conjunction with the diversity of lovely models that BYT designer, Eliza Starbuck, had hand-picked. In addition to a line up varying body types, ethnicities, and professional backgrounds, Eliza also included two women considerably older than your average runway nymph..." said Abigail Doan of Ecco Eco, who walked the runway with major verve! (see below)
Army jackets may be in this year, but they are also a perennial classic, never truly going out of style.
Abigail Doan shows off a boxy silver-grey cocktail-sleeve jacket that screams Jackie O elegance, working beautifully with a skirt, as shown here, or your favorite jeans.
Bright Young Things Runway Show from Eliza Starbuck on Vimeo.
The Bright Young Things runway show.
A black wrap skirt works in every season (and looks as if it could be worn as a strapless dress).
This easy, universally flattering skirt can be worn with the buttons down the front....or down the back for another look.
Taking a cue from the original Uniform Project dress, this frock can be worn as-is, or over another piece or pieces, long or short, since the shape of the front and the height of the hem can help it read as a jacket-like layer.

Missing Baby Found Dead
The body of a baby has been found at the King of Prussia apartment complex where she was abducted Monday.
Authorities say her grandmother, 61-year-old Satayvathi Venna, was killed while trying to save ten-month-old Saanvi Venna's life, and they have arrested a family friend, 26-year-old Raghunandan Yandamuri, who is accused of kidnapping the girl (pictured here in two family photos) and demanding ransom.
He apparently believed the family had money. He lived at the Marquis Apartments on Route 202, where the victims also lived. A note left at the scene said, "If you inform this to anyone you will find your daughter body parts thrown into your apartments."

I see the order of the attributes are changing now. I scraped 6 movies, and 4 of them had the old attribute order, two of them were new. So you should find the scraper starting to work from now.

I would suggest everyone waits a while. As I said, the website is in the process of changing over - I'm not sure how it works internally, but if caching is involved then it is just a matter of time before all of the xml returned is in the correct order.
And don't forget - if you don't get a poster, it might be because the movie doesn't have one. I suggest you check the TMDB website first. |

As has been mentioned, as the cached items expire they will start to work again.
Cast info had the same issue which was corrected this morning, so by tomorrow at this time things should be working as they were before. On a dev related note, I do feel as though it's important for apps like this to use as much standards based code as they can so that I can have a reliable idea of the behaviour to expect. The XML spec actually states order of attributes is not important. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ This was compounded by using regex, which is the biggest problem. For sites that offer a real API, this doesn't make any sense. I understand for sites like IMDb that do not offer anything official, you have to. For sites like TMDb though, it defeats the whole purpose of providing a real API. I'll leave you guys with that and of course, now make sure that as I make small tweaks to the API, that order is preserved. Just wanted to drop my 2 cents in

Thanks Travis. I agree, with an API I would think regex should be unnecessary...save if XBMC needs it to parse the XML. But there should be a more reliable way.
I need to get me a TMDB API key so I can see if there is a way to help out the project... Thanks again for correcting the issues for now. |

From ErfWiki
Many people believe that discount jewellery is only a myth and there may be no such factor except for companies that promote reduced costs to scam consumers. But there are plenty of more customers likely to the Jewel Club to find a good quality choice that's substantially more cost-effective than retail prices. Jewellery is typically high priced and merchants are notorious for charging market place costs which can be a lot increased than the actual expense of the item. Should you be within the market for jewellery, take into account providing your self a discount like several other people have. Beware of the numerous on the net providers that false promote then consider your income and run. Rather, contemplate purchasing exactly the same way many others have done to save money and store safely.
Who Can Purchase Low cost Jewelry

Farmer Skipper Russell thought he was helping drive tourism with his famous corn "maize," an agricultural attraction he operates each fall in Bethel. After all, the maze attracted nearly 7,000 visitors this year, many from out of town, who came to wander through the series of intricate paths cut into his corn field.
But the Haywood County Tourism Development Authority, which promised Russell $3,000 to advertise the attraction says Russell didn't follow the guidelines associated with the money — so he won't be getting any of it.
The tourism authority says Russell failed to list them as a sponsor on any of his advertising, be it billboards or brochures. That's a stipulation the TDA makes to anyone it doles out money to: receive TDA dollars, and TDA better get some recognition.
Russell admits he failed to read the fine print and accepts responsibility for what he says was an innocent mistake. TDA officials brought the mistake to his attention in December, after the maze had closed for the season.
"It was just an oversight I made. I guess I just overlooked that," he said.
TDA's refusal to refund the $3,000 is a blow to Russell, who spent more than $8,000 on advertising for the corn maze. The blow stings even more because Russell made a special effort this year to use his attraction to highlight Haywood County. The corn maze featured a bicentennial theme in honor of the county's year-long celebration to honor its 200th year.
Russell accepts the TDA's decision, though as a farmer struggling after a particularly bad season, the loss of $3,000 will make finances tighter.
"Well, I'll have to be OK with it," he said.
