Mutations in the tumor-suppressor gene phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (Pten) are associated with multiple cancers in humans, including T cell malignancies. Targeted deletion of Pten in T cells induces both a disseminated "mature phenotype" lymphoma and a lymphoproliferative autoimmune syndrome in mice. Here, we have shown that these two diseases are separable and mediated by T lineage cells of distinct developmental stages. Loss of PTEN was found to be a powerful driver of lymphomagenesis within the thymus characterized by overexpression of the c-myc oncogene. In an otherwise normal thymic environment, PTEN-deficient T cell lymphomas invariably harbored RAG-dependent reciprocal t(14:15) chromosomal translocations involving the T cell receptor alpha/delta locus and c-myc, and their survival and growth was TCR dependent, but Notch independent. However, lymphomas occurred even if TCR recombination was prevented, although these lymphomas were less mature, arose later in life, and, importantly, were dependent upon Notch pathways to upregulate c-myc expression. In contrast, using the complementary methods of early thymectomy and adoptive transfers, we found that PTEN-deficient mature T cells were unable to undergo malignant transformation but were sufficient for the development of autoimmunity. These data suggest multiple and distinct regulatory roles for PTEN in the molecular pathogenesis of lymphoma and autoimmunity.

Establishing long-term allograft acceptance without the requirement for continuous immunosuppression, a condition known as allograft tolerance, is a highly desirable therapeutic goal in solid organ transplantation. Determining which recipients would benefit from withdrawal or minimization of immunosuppression would be greatly facilitated by biomarkers predictive of tolerance. In this study, we identified the largest reported cohort to our knowledge of tolerant renal transplant recipients, as defined by stable graft function and receiving no immunosuppression for more than 1 year, and compared their gene expression profiles and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets with those of subjects with stable graft function who are receiving immunosuppressive drugs as well as healthy controls. In addition to being associated with clinical and phenotypic parameters, renal allograft tolerance was strongly associated with a B cell signature using several assays. Tolerant subjects showed increased expression of multiple B cell differentiation genes, and a set of just 3 of these genes distinguished tolerant from nontolerant recipients in a unique test set of samples. This B cell signature was associated with upregulation of CD20 mRNA in urine sediment cells and elevated numbers of peripheral blood naive and transitional B cells in tolerant participants compared with those receiving immunosuppression. These results point to a critical role for B cells in regulating alloimmunity and provide a candidate set of genes for wider-scale screening of renal transplant recipients.

The potent regulatory properties of NKT cells render this subset of lipid-specific T cells a promising target for immunotherapeutic interventions. The marine sponge glycolipid α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer) is the prototypic NKT cell agonist, which elicits this function when bound to CD1d. However, our understanding of the in vivo properties of NKT cell agonists and the host factors that control their bioactivity remains very limited. In this report, we isolated the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) from mouse serum as an αGalCer-binding protein that modulates the induction of key effector functions of NKT cells in vivo. FAAH bound αGalCer in vivo and in vitro and was required for the efficient targeting of lipid antigens for CD1d presentation. Immunization of Faah-deficient mice with αGalCer resulted in a reduced systemic cytokine production, but enhanced expansion of splenic NKT cells. This distinct NKT response conferred a drastically increased adjuvant effect and strongly promoted protective CTL responses. Thus, our findings identify not only the presence of FAAH in normal mouse serum, but also its critical role in the tuning of immune responses to lipid antigens by orchestrating their transport and targeting for NKT cell activation. Our results suggest that the serum transport of lipid antigens directly shapes the quality of NKT cell responses, which could potentially be modulated in support of novel vaccination strategies.

Clinical tools that measure changes in immune cell metabolism would improve the diagnosis and treatment of immune dysfunction. PET, utilizing probes for specific metabolic processes, detects regions of immune activation in vivo. In this study we investigated the immune cell specificity of PET probes for two different metabolic pathways: [18F]–2-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) for glycolysis and [18F]–2-fluoro-d-(arabinofuranosyl)cytosine ([18F]-FAC) for deoxycytidine salvage. We isolated innate and adaptive immune cells from tissues of mice challenged with a retrovirus-induced sarcoma and measured their ability to accumulate FDG and FAC. We determined that the two probes had distinct patterns of accumulation: FDG accumulated to the highest levels in innate immune cells, while FAC accumulated predominantly in CD8+ T cells in a manner that correlated with cellular proliferation. This study demonstrates that innate and adaptive cell types differ in glycolytic and deoxycytidine salvage demands during an immune response and that these differential metabolic requirements can be detected with specific PET probes. Our findings have implications for the interpretation of clinical PET scans that use [18F]-FDG or [18F]-FAC to assess immune function in vivo and suggest potential applications of metabolic PET to monitor the effects of targeted immune modulation.

IgE-mediated hypersensitivity is central to the pathogenesis of asthma and other allergic diseases. Although neutralization of serum IgE with IgE-specific antibodies is in general an efficacious treatment for allergic asthma, one limitation of this approach is its lack of effect on IgE production. Here, we have developed a strategy to disrupt IgE production by generating monoclonal antibodies that target a segment of membrane IgE on human IgE-switched B cells that is not present in serum IgE. This segment is known as the M1′ domain, and using genetically modified mice that contain the human M1′ domain inserted into the mouse IgE locus, we demonstrated that M1′-specific antibodies reduced serum IgE and IgE-producing plasma cells in vivo, without affecting other immunoglobulin isotypes. M1′-specific antibodies were effective when delivered prophylactically and therapeutically in mouse models of immunization, allergic asthma, and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection, likely by inducing apoptosis of IgE-producing B cells. In addition, we generated a humanized M1′-specific antibody that was active on primary human cells in vivo, as determined by its reduction of serum IgE levels and IgE plasma cell numbers in a human PBMC-SCID mouse model. Thus, targeting of human IgE-producing B cells with apoptosis-inducing M1′-specific antibodies may be a novel treatment for asthma and allergy.

Persistent viral infections are often associated with inefficient T cell responses and sustained high-level expression of inhibitory receptors, such as the NK cell receptor 2B4 (also known as CD244), on virus-specific T cells. However, the role of 2B4 in T cell dysfunction is undefined, and it is unknown whether NK cells contribute to regulation of these processes. We show here that persistent lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection of mice lacking 2B4 resulted in diminished LCMV-specific CD8+ T cell responses, prolonged viral persistence, and spleen and thymic pathologies that differed from those observed in infected wild-type mice. Surprisingly, these altered phenotypes were not caused by 2B4 deficiency in T cells. Rather, the entire and long-lasting pathology and viral persistence were regulated by 2B4-deficient NK cells acting early in infection. In the absence of 2B4, NK cells lysed activated (defined as CD44hi) but not naive (defined as CD44lo) CD8+ T cells in a perforin-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. These results illustrate the importance of NK cell self-tolerance to activated CD8+ T cells and demonstrate how an apparent T cell–associated persistent infection can actually be regulated by NK cells.

The transcription factor kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is required for the quiescent and migratory properties of naive T cells. Statins, a class of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, display pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects that are independent of their lipid-lowering capacity and may be beneficial as therapeutic agents for T cell–mediated inflammatory diseases. Statins upregulate KLF2 expression in endothelial cells, and this activity is associated with an antiinflammatory phenotype. We therefore hypothesized that the immunomodulatory effects of statins are due, in part, to their direct effects on T cell KLF2 gene expression. Here we report that lipophilic statin treatment of mouse and human T cells increased expression of KLF2 through a HMG-CoA/prenylation–dependent pathway. Statins also diminished T cell proliferation and IFN-γ expression. shRNA blockade of KLF2 expression in human T cells increased IFN-γ expression and prevented statin-induced IFN-γ reduction. In a mouse model of myocarditis induced by heart antigen–specific CD8+ T cells, both statin treatment of the T cells and retrovirally mediated overexpression of KLF2 in the T cells had similar ameliorating effects on disease induction. We conclude that statins reduce inflammatory functions and pathogenic activity of T cells through KLF2-dependent mechanisms, and this pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases.

CD8+ T cell responses to viral infection are characterized by the emergence of dominant and subdominant CTL populations. The immunodominance hierarchies of these populations are highly reproducible for any given spectrum of virus-induced peptide-MHCI complexes and are likely determined by multiple factors. Recent studies demonstrate a direct correlation between naive epitope-specific CD8+ T cell precursor (CTLp) frequency and the magnitude of the response after antigen challenge. Thus, the number of available precursors in the naive pool has emerged as a key predictor of immunodominance. In contrast to this, we report here no consistent relationship between CTLp frequency and the subsequent magnitude of the immune response for 4 influenza virus–derived epitopes following intranasal infection of mice with influenza A virus. Rather, the characteristic, antigen-driven T cell immunodominance hierarchy was determined by the extent of recruitment from the available pool of epitope-specific precursors and the duration of their continued expansion over the course of the infection. These findings suggest possibilities for enhancing protective immune memory by maximizing both the size and diversity of typically subdominant T cell responses through rational vaccine design.

Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and SphK2 are ubiquitous enzymes that generate sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a ligand for a family of G protein–coupled receptors (S1PR1–S1PR5) with important functions in the vascular and immune systems. Here we explore the role of these kinases and receptors in recovery from anaphylaxis in mice. We found that Sphk2–/– mice had a rapid recovery from anaphylaxis. In contrast, Sphk1–/– mice showed poor recovery from anaphylaxis and delayed histamine clearance. Injection of S1P into Sphk1–/– mice increased histamine clearance and promoted recovery from anaphylaxis. Adoptive cell transfer experiments demonstrated that SphK1 activity was required in both the hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic compartments for recovery from anaphylaxis. Mice lacking the S1P receptor S1PR2 also showed a delay in plasma histamine clearance and a poor recovery from anaphylaxis. However, S1P did not promote the recovery of S1pr2–/– mice from anaphylaxis, whereas S1pr2+/– mice showed partial recovery. Unlike Sphk2–/– mice, Sphk1–/– and S1pr2–/– mice had severe hypotension during anaphylaxis. Thus, SphK1-produced S1P regulates blood pressure, histamine clearance, and recovery from anaphylaxis in a manner that involves S1PR2. This suggests that specific S1PR2 agonists may serve to counteract the vasodilation associated with anaphylactic shock.

Genetic susceptibility to autoimmunity is frequently associated with specific MHC alleles. Diabetogenic MHC class II molecules, such as human HLA-DQ8 and mouse I-Ag7, typically have a small, uncharged amino acid residue at position 57 of their β chain (β57); this results in the absence of a salt bridge between β57 and Argα76, which is adjacent to the P9 pocket of the peptide-binding groove. However, the influence of Argα76 on the selection of the TCR repertoire remains unknown, particularly when the MHC molecule binds a peptide with a neutral amino acid residue at position P9. Here, we have shown that diabetogenic MHC class II molecules bound to a peptide with a neutral P9 residue primarily selected and expanded cells expressing TCRs bearing a negatively charged residue in the first segment of their complementarity determining region 3β. The crystal structure of one such TCR in complex with I-Ag7 bound to a peptide containing a neutral P9 residue revealed that a network of favorable long-range (greater than 4 Å) electrostatic interactions existed among Argα76, the neutral P9 residue, and TCR, which supported the substantially increased TCR/peptide-MHC affinity. This network could be modulated or switched to a lower affinity interaction by the introduction of a negative charge at position P9 of the peptide. Our results support the existence of a switch at residue β57 of the I-Ag7 and HLA-DQ8 class II molecules and potentially link normal thymic TCR selection with abnormal peripheral behavior.

There is an old Rastafarian mantra that goes like this: "A man without hair is like a tree without leaves."
Just to be clear, I'm not a Rastafarian nor do I plan on growing dreadlocks, but I have been playing around with growing a long hair style and this particular quote seemed appropriate.
Ever since the first hairs on my head existed I have had the same style hair. It's always been high and tight, number 2 clippers, scissors on the top, and parted to one side. The only exception was during my first season of collegiate cross country when it was shaved during an initiation/hazing ritual.
It has been six months since my last hair cut. I'm now in that awkward stage between short hair and long hair. Some might call it medium length, but I call it a pain in the ass. Sometimes it does what I want and looks good, other times it cannot be tamed.
The problem I'm facing, is how to style it. I thought I could pull off the Zach Effron look (above) but, as my hair continues to grow, I'm realizing that it slightly curls as it increases in length. Thus my strategy needs to suite that type of hair.
After an exhaustive image search I believe I've found the direction that's best suited for me . Perhaps something like this, except imagine it with dark brown hair (see picture on right).
I'm still in the experimental phases of this, but I'm enjoying the new look so far. I'm not sure that it's making a huge difference in the seduction front, but I've noticed that I'm attracting different types of girls. I seem to be talking to and attracting more artsy, hipster, rocker, punk, tattoo type of women… which I like;)
Long hair seems to be the direction that a lot of men in the seduction community eventually take, assuming they are not going bald, in that case they opt for the Neil Strauss shaved head with goatee look (on right).
There seems to be something seductive about long hair styles on men. Perhaps it is a peacocking thing or a sign of an alpha male, like a lion with a long mane. Male musicians and actors, sex symbols of the modern era, are often seen with longer hairstyles. Even Casanova was well known for his long seductive hair.
I have heard mixed messages from the ladies on this topic. There definitely seems to be a preferred preference depending on the woman, but like I said earlier, different types of women seem to be attracted to men with long hair. Although, I suppose for your hairstyle to be truly attractive, it has to be congruent with your overall style and personality.
So what's your opinion? Short hair or long hair? What style? And does it even matter? Comments are welcome from all, but I'm particularly curious to what my female readers think.

Activity center launches Tree of Life fundraising campaign
Published 3:17 pm, Wednesday, November 28, 2012
The Bulverde Spring Branch Activity Center, formerly known as the Bulverde Senior Center, earlier this year unveiled plans for a major 6,250-foot expansion of the center.
This expansion is vital to the many services provided at the center, officials say, adding the center is very close to reaching its capital-building campaign goal by the end of the year.
But to help reach the goal, the center is launching a Tree of Life Building Campaign, officials said.
The Tree of Life will be a beautiful monument located inside the center's entrance to display the donations and gifts that helped make the expansion possible.
News Channel
The Tree of Life will have various levels for contributions, including: Leaf Level for donations of $250, $500 or $1,000; Branch Supporter for donations of $5,000; Trunk Supporter for donations of $10,000; and Rock Supporter for donations of $15,000 or more.
There will also be an Acorn Level for the rememberance of past members.
The center will accept donations of any amount and all donations are tax deductible. Committed campaign pledges payable at a later date will allow the center to meet several foundation grant challenges that it has received. Some of the grants are for the year 2012 only, so an immediate commitment is needed.
The Tree of Life monument will offer individuals and businesses a chance to promote their goods and services for a lifetime in the center, officials add.
Donations can be made through the center's website at www.bulverdespringbranchactivitycenter.com using Paypal. Checks can be mailed to Bulverde Spring Branch Senior Center, 30280 Cougar Bend, Bulverde, TX 78163. Call 830-438-3111.

Hi there
I have a major issue/problem of late (since last week) and wondered if anyone could help.
I have had a SEx10 since my last upgrade (approx Oct 10), and after the first ever charge the battery was only lasting a day. I contact Customer Services within a week of receiving the initial handset and I was sent a new handset/battery.
All seemed fine between then and the beggining of February, whereby I was charging every 3-4days on regular use, and 2-3 on extra use/use of browsing etc..
Now, I am unable to charge via USB, and need to have the main plug/adaptor plugged into a mains socket for the phone to charge. For the past week I have left the phone on charge over night, only for the battery to die within a matter of hours (18 hours max), hence having to charge again overnight.
I have no excessive use to that of previously so can't understand what the issue can be? Also the charging connector (within the phone itself) where you plug the mini usb end does not seem to be connecting properly. Previously, when plugged in, it would display as "charging" - Now, for the first 10-20mins it displays "battery less than 5%" and continues to do this until there is enough power to charge properly. Also, it has a tendancy to shut itself down as well?
Please can you provide a solutiuon to this, possibly taking a look at the handset in question, as, having the handset for a 5 months max, I find this a very usual problem - Having said that, it is my SECOND handset in 5 months, and a second one, within a week of my last upgrade.
Hi disco21,
To be honest from what you have written it does come down to 2 possibilities;
1. There are a lot of applications open on the handset that is causing the battery drain, does the phone have an application manager? If so one of the big benefits of Android is the ability to multi-task. However, there is no way to close APPS that you've used. Every application that remains open is using processor power, which in turn is draining your devices battery. This is where task management APPS such as Advanced Task Killer or TasKiller are useful. They should be used to close APPS that you've finished with, although make sure you don't force close any processes used by Android.
This can be downloaded from the market place.
In regards difficulty in charging the device, this could either be a charger fault, handset connection fault or a battery fault.
Are you able to try another charger? Does this make a difference?
If not then the likelihood is that it is an issue with the handset or battery however you don't need to worry, this is all covered under the warranty of the device and can be repaired free of charge for you.
For more information on our repairs process, check out our repairs FAQ.
I would give this a go and let us know how you get on.

Hi James
Thanks for your swift reply mate - A further update if you please:
I charged my phone overnight (last night), and between leaving the house @ 7am this morning and arriving in work at 8:42am, the battery had completely died, leaving me without mobile communication all day (and i had outside meetings as well)
Can you please explain how this happened in the space of less than 2 hours. I do not have wi-fi on, i dont use bluetooth at all, and my backlight is set to a mimimum length of 15 seconds. I do not do not use any task managements apps, and the only app I use is the calculator, perhaps once a week at most. I upgraded to this phone from the Nokia 5800 but have found it quite disappointing, to reviews I have read, and recommendations made to me.
FYI, I have also tried alternative usb cables in the past without resolution (but thanks for that suggestion), so can only think it can be a handset/connection fault? Can you please advise further.
The handset is currently on charge now, and will be left on over night to see how much (if any) battery it uses. I expect a very small usage as it will be on standy for a mimimum of 8 hours, however, I dread that come the morning it will be completely dead once more.
Hi Dave,
Many thanks for getting back to me with further details.
From what you have said it does sound like it can only be either a handset or battery fault that is causing rthe battery to drain so much and so quickly.
The next step would be to look at sending this for a free of charge repair to get an engineer to asses what is causing the fault and repair it.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem with my X10 mini pro which I upgraded to5 days ago. From the very first day since I got he phone, the battery power has never lasted 24 hours. And this despite the fact that since getting this phone I've not made a voice call that lasted more than 5 minutes, only sent less than 10 txt messages, limited internet use, adjusted display and volume settings, which in effect has made the mobile phone experience utterly useless!
I'd like to know what's going on here. By the way, I charged the battery for about 16 hours when I first got it and since then have been charging it for almost 10 hours each night but still the problem persists. I do like the fact that the phone is very compact but I'm wondering now if I made the wrong choice with this one. Any thoughts pleeease.
Hi ga66 and welcome to the eForum
Thanks for your post here. I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with this. I appreciate how frustrating this must be and what a negative experience it is for your new phone.
As you only upgraded a few days ago you can return the phone for a like for like replacement due to what would appear to be, a fault with the device.
If you got the phone from a store just pop back to the store for an exchange. If it was from our customer service teams on the phone or via our website just give us a call on 191 and we'll arrange the exchange.
Let me know how you get on and if you have any more questions we'll be happy to help you further
eForum Team
If I was to return it for repair how would one go about a replacement handset whilst this is away for service?
Would it be a like for like handset?
Hi Disco21,
When you send your handset away for repair through a store, you can have a loan phone off us if you have Cover Me insurance. It is unlikely that it will be the same handset that you have sent away, as the loan phones available will vary from store to store.
You can find more information about our repairs process in our Popular Questions Thread
eForum Team.
I have no insurance what so ever, but the phone is only 5 months old (max). Its a fault with the phone and thefore should be covered under the first year standard warranty!
Can I not choose to send via postal repair?
Hi Disco21
Thanks for your post here.
If its a manufacturing fault then yes it will be covered by the warranty. Check our Vodafone Repairs thread for information on how to get your phone repaired (Including postal repair)

City Council 2010 Budget Re-cap
The Council finished working through the 2010 budget process and approved an annual operating budget of $907 million. A prominent feature of this budget process was the restoration of $860,000 to Seattle Public Libraries that reestablished operating hours that would have been lost. Following are a few budget highlights.
In the area of Technology, the Council added a total of $110,000 which will include $20,000 to launch an "Apps for Seattle" contest that will tap into local web developers and citizens to develop applications, websites and tools using the City's open data sets. This $20,000 can result in millions in dollar value relative to creating useful applications for the city. We also added $50,000 to the Technology Matching Fund grant program which increases access to electronic information and technology for citizens who may not otherwise have the means of access.

Adam Posen, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, has just sounded the alarm: not about a temporary double-dip recession, but about Japanese-style prolonged economic weakness, high unemployment, trade conflicts, and extremist politics. It is strong stuff. Monetary policy needs to do more to foster a stronger recovery, he says. Now.
His argument is worth reading in full because it is directed much wider than solely to other MPC members in the UK.
The one sentence summary. Policymakers should not settle for weak growth out of misplaced fear of inflation.
In a paragraph. Mr Posen believes output is clearly below any reasonable measure of potential, so worrying about an inflation problem is absurd. We must also not underestimate the potential for the economy to grow. If we do, that will destroy workforce skills and potentially productive machinery as well as inhibiting investment, creating a self-fulfilling bad outcome. Read more

Wikitext vs. WikiText[edit]
Eh, I think the right name is 'WikiText'. Why is the tag WikiText redirected to tag DocBook? And why is this item available under the 'Wikitext' tag although the right name is 'WikiText'? --Martin Kozák 23:20, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't know why WikiText was redirecting to DocBook. But it seemed so odd—the DocBook article doesn't even mention a case-insensitive WikiText—that I have changed the redirect. Perhaps someone will now tell us. Ian Spackman 16:30, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

All you have to do is to write a text in MS Word, (or any other WordProc, I think) and to press a button called "Correct Wikitext" :D Simple, isn't it?? Piotr mil 17:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Merge from Wiki markup[edit]
Any reason not to merge the stub Wiki markup into this article? A simple redirect ought to do the trick. --MichaelZimmer (talk) 10:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

MediaWiki WikiText[edit]
WikiText is a general classification, which covers different lightweight markup languages used by a variety of wiki software; so is it appropriate to refer to the specific markup in Wikipedia as MediaWiki WikiText? Squideshi 02:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there any chance that Wikipedia will adopt WikiCreole or any other standardized markup language? ste_nohype 10:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- The WikiCreole section appears to be entirely promotional as far as I can see, so I've removed it. I've also nominated its article for deletion as it does not appear to be notable. Vquex (talk) 16:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I have re-added information on Creole, without any promotional slant. The Markdown markup language has it's own article and seems to be a similar thing, and little difference in notability, so there is no reason to exclude Creole. Barrylb (talk) 11:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've never used it, but I would definitely say it's a notable wiki markup. Steven Walling (talk) 22:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
This page not as helpful as it could be[edit]
Could someone provide a key to the symbols/codes used found at the bottom of Editing pages (e.g., <includeonly>) for the unitiated? Or is this found on another page? (When I searched for "Wiki markup", I was directed here.) Thanks. Tawagoto 02:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Is this the right place to discuss this? If not, where?
I often feel overly constrained by the lack of flexibility of the Ref markup. A wished-for extension would be some means to have multiple, differently-named, <References/> tags within a page. Perhaps something like <Ref tag=tag_ID> - with the tag parameter defaulting to tag=References if not specified. This would allow several separate collections of references on the page. These could be grouped at the foot of the page (probably under separate section headers) and/or spread out (probably at the foot of individual page sections), as the page editor deems suitable.
Another item I've found bothersome, though it's probably messier to deal with, is lack of a mechanism for citation templates to interact with Ref. I often use <Ref name=something/>{{cite ...}}</Ref> and I find clumsiness with cite parameters such as page numbers which vary from cite to cite but which all apply to the same Ref. I end up not putting such parameters in cites which are wrapped in Refs, sometimes superscripting page number info, etc. immediately after the closing </Ref>. If Ref could provide a mechanism for the cite templates to pass info up, the Ref processing could format that info uniformly rather than having individual page editors working around this in different ways.
Or is it just that I've missed understanding something? -- Boracay Bill 06:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
revisiting this, I'm still wondering about this -- should I pursue it elsewhere? Where? One example where this comes into play is Dred Scott v. Sandford, where there are two cites of a note with no external link which, per WP:GTL should go in a Notes section, but which was presumably placed in the References section (violating WP:GTL)in order to have those two cites grouped into one Ref. The facility to say something like <Ref tag=Notes>, paired with <Notes/>, would be useful here. -- Boracay Bill 01:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
closing this discussion I now realize that I should probably be using Template:ref_label and template:note_label, and that this issue should not have been raised here. -- Boracay Bill 07:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think the best place to the discuss the <ref> tag is at footnotes. -- Mizipzor 08:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I came here looking for same. One of my gripes about Wikipedia, searching for a simple question about editing Wikipedia pages, and you end up chasing links. No doubt, somewhere there is a page listing some common and useful Wiki markup examples ... but where is it? Do we have to rely on Google to find such answer (which often works better for me than trying to search in Wikipedia itself). Yo ... is anybody out there? No wonder Mountlake disappeared.

Low quality link[edit]
This link ("Why Wiki Syntax Is Important") speaks advertizoid rubbish, such as "WikiSyntax", lacks programming languages (my interpretation) JavaScript and HTML that can be hacked, and then exclaims "WikiSyntax" can even be used as a programming language! I say, that link resides here on borrowed time (shiver!), and as soon as there is some few better-quality links, it will unsentimentally be confined to /dev/null (Waste basket).

- 1- The page states that wiki markup can be used as a "mini-programming language", not a full programming language. You can have variables such as TWikiVariables and basic logic (if/then/else). With some wiki engines, such as TWiki and XWiki, you can build quite complex applications from Wiki Syntax. For TikiWiki, here is an example of basic if/then/else:
- {GROUP(groups=>Registered|Admins, notgroups=Editors)}
- some text
- other text
- {GROUP(groups=>Registered|Admins, notgroups=Editors)}

- 2- As for Javascript and HTML, they can indeed be interpreted or not by the wiki engine (depending on the settings). According to WikiMatrix, 17 wiki engines have optional support for html tags. If you do support full html, and are in a fully-public (anyone can register/edit) context, you should use something like HTML purifier

I think one of the most important thing in Wikipedia is its MARKUP LANGUAGE (Wikitext/Wiki markup)[edit]
- why is then this article a {{# stub #}}!
- some good, frequently used syntax examples MUST be given
- shouldn't it be compared to HTML? Esp. that wikitext is so much easier as compared to HTML/XML (esp. if one types literally each and every word and those '<>' (brackets) and '\' or '/' when writing down HTML/XML document; these aforementioned symbols are not in the home row of QWERTY keyboard; therefore, wikitext is much FASTER to edit/type literally as these archaic expressions (again, aforementioned symbols) are absent in Wikitext)
- about archaicity: Wikitext is young, HTML is old, XML is a bit younger than HTML, but still much older than Wikitext; XML came from HTML - XML is the child of HTML. Wikitext is totally different from XML/HTML(in ideological sense/markup language sense/language sense {compare: Indo-European languages, esp. the picture of now existing languages vs. the dead ones & branching:
- Shouldn't this article be brought to at least FA status ASAP, as this is one of the defining features, the cornerstone, of MediaWiki which supports, is THE backbone, of WHOLE wikipedia (also supports wikipedias in other languages: don't forget, de.wikipedia, fr, cn, ja, ... which are also huge. BUT Wikitext originated in English, is an English markup language (e.g. keywords: "infobox", "table of contents" etc.)
- Shouldn't wikitext be compared to other markup languages
- last but not least: all the info boxes of Wikipedia, Wikimedia and others don't have Wikitext! That's, to my mind, is outrageous!
... instead of writing: "There is no commonly accepted standard wikitext language" (as finishing the very first question of "why is then...")?
Due to the aforementioned reasons I felt compelled to change the rating from "mid" to "high". Please, discuss with me first, rather than just change the rating without a single line of comment! Thank you.
NB: excuse me for my (too) passionate talk. Peace! Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
NBNB: just thought about saying, that I don't know MUCH about Wikitext, actually I'm still struggling to remember than "_" != "" and "*" != "'", not to talk that making tables & inserting images is still a pain-taking chore for me, as I must every time google THE syntax of Wikitext. Lastly, it's in general encouraged to edit NOT in HTML, but in Wikitext, so that Wikitext would survive (in an unequal fight, compare David and Goliath - David was young, inexperienced, and Goliath was a killing machine, but still, David, using his head, strength & slingshot - won) and maybe maybe maybe become the major "language" of the INTERNET, where now HTML with XML rule as unscathed supreme leaders (compare Google in search engines, or Microsoft in spreadsheets, i.e. Excel, if you, as I don't understand HTML/XML, but know what is G or MS). Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 19:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
NBNBNB: I tried to survive in the documentation jungle of the features of Wikitext, which are hidden in Wikipedia (e.g. G-search: returns smth between HTML & scarce examples of Wikitext as the first link in the results page [1] . SCARCE! That's my point. Even G-bot crawler got entangled in the simple fact, that there are just few, literally, very few Wiki editors, who know all aspects of the language and even fewer who would try to document it in away suchbooksasthese were written. And I can bet that these FEW editors have, on average, more than 100 000 quality edits. My point is that there is not enough quality documentation on Wikitext and that almost all available-now documentation is written by the programmers/web-designers who IMPLEMENT/design/create/modify/understand this software but, on average, are not literature profs, i.e. money making prof. writers!
Final point (& I must stop editing today :D ): if the manual and esp. this page is brought to FA status asap, then the number of articles and other things will increase at the turtle's pace, as only those few really inerested & motivated editors would contribute to Wikipedia & see that there are masses of ppl who WOULD like to contribute but can't due to the lack of knowledge of such "simple" things as HTML and/or Wikitext!!!
Therefore, my grand plan would be:
- improve this article to FA ASAP
- publish very good manual of Wikitext online for free (GNU style & spirit, as whole Wiki & Wikipedia is) asap
- continue doing as we all are doing up to now: programming, writing, editing, discussing, organizing, doing, literally, EVERYTHING what's possible in internet and beyond.
- (I hope you don't take it seriously) let the "'morrowmorrow care about itself", i.e. [1] especially during this one of the biggest economic crisis in 20th-21st centuries.
Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 19:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- By "wikitext" in this discussion it was meant MediaWiki#Markup (aka "MediaWiki markup language" or "MediaWiki text"), not "wikitext" as a synonym for "wiki markup language" or plainly "wiki text" (or "wikitext"). Sorry for confusion back then.Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 13:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

- Support Wikimarkup is not a word. Wiki and markup are both in the dictionary. Both titles are basically variations of the most common nomenclature for the subject, which is the preferred according to WP:NAME, so we should use the version that is grammatically correct. Steven Walling 01:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment. A simple Google search returns more hits for the single word than the two-word phrase. No idea if that should be taken into account. I actually don't have a horse in this race—I'm just seeking consistency between article title and usage within the article, and assume that whichever way consensus blows, redirects will suffice for the other version. Rivertorch (talk) 05:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikitext as category name?[edit]
In my observation, "wiki markup" is the category term, while Wikitext, like WikiCreole, is the name of a particular markup language. This article suggests to the contrary: That Wikitext and Wiki Markup are synonyms. Does anyone have pointers outside the MediaWiki community where people use Wikitext as a category name? Rather than wiki markup? Dirk Riehle (talk) 19:08, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- I would say that "wikitext" (or "wiki text") and "wiki markup" are synonyms and denote a category of all markups used in all Wikis, e.g. MediaWiki markup/text, WikiCreole... See List of Wiki markups, Comparison of wiki software (any of the Wiki softwares could have their own "wikitext"/"wiki markup"/"wiki language".Kazkaskazkasako (talk) 13:37, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

AT&T iPhone owners who want to get the iPhone 5 can check the status of their upgrade eligibility using AT&T Upgrader. Once on the page, the subscriber has to provide the number of the phone they want to upgrade, the last four digits of the primary account holder's Social Security number, and the billing ZIP Code. Those who purchased an iPhone from AT&T with a 2-year pact and have no outstanding bills should be eligible for an iPhone 5 upgrade once they are 18 months into their contract.
Subscribers who have signed their last agreement before October 2, 2011, will be eligible for an upgrade once they are 22 months into their contract. Those who signed after that date, however, will have to wait for only 20 months until they can get a subsidized phone from Sprint. The carrier clarifies that a $36 activation fee may apply.
In case you no longer need your previous smartphone after upgrading, you can give it to Sprint so that it can get refurbished or recycled. Depending on the condition and type of the device being returned, subscribers may receive up to $300 worth of credit. Note that the phone you're returning does not have to be a Sprint device. You may return up to 5 handsets per every 12 months of service.
Those who are 12 to 17 months into their qualifying 2-year contracts are eligible for Early Upgrade pricing, and subscribers who have last upgraded 18 to 21 months ago are eligible for Early Upgrade Plus, which offers even better discounts.
Subscribers that are 22 months into their 2-year contracts or 11 months into their 1-year contracts are eligible for the best discounts on phones that T-Mobile has to offer.
Of course, all upgrades require your signature under a new 2-year contract. Also, a $18 upgrade fee applies.

Race and compensation in professional football
Although there have been numerous studies on the effect of race on the compensation of National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball players, there have been only three prior studies that investigated the effect of race on the compensation of National Football League (NFL) players. Two found no evidence of racial discrimination in NFL player compensation, while one found that, at most, whites earn on average 4% more than African-Americans. Using salary data for 938 NFL players from the 1996 season and player and market characteristic data from the 1995 season, a log-linear wage equation was estimated, and a Chow Test was performed. The results indicate that white players earned 10% less than African-American players. Other important factors affecting an NFL player's salary were experience, position, percentage of games started, and the draft status of the player. These results indicate that reverse wage discrimination based on race may exist in the NFL.

ALTRINCHAM Grammar School for Boys has defended its decision to expel a pupil after he threw a custard pie in a teacher's face.
Jacob Dowdle's actions were descried as a 'planned assault' rather a 'prank' by headteacher Tim Gartside.
The 18-year-old from Hale Barns was quizzed by police over the incident and can only return to AGSB to sit his A levels.
Jacob, speaking through the social networking site Twitter slammed the school's response as 'ridiculous.' But Mr Gartside said: "Like many schools we like to mark the end of Year 13 and students have, from time to time, enjoyed clever, tasteful and original pranks that have neither harmed nor humiliated any individuals in the school. Jacob Dowdle's behaviour on May 16th was not a prank.
"His slapping of a teacher in the face was a planned assault. Following the incident, he chose to run away from school rather than face the consequences of his actions. Indeed, instead of immediately apologising for his actions, he decided to post a video of the incident on Facebook, causing further distress and humiliation to the teacher.
"His initial refusal to remove this post from Facebook and his launch of an e'petition, giving a distorted view of what actually happened, demonstrates clearly his failure to understand the serious nature of his actions."
But Jacob has attracted online support from the comedian Jason Manford.
Commenting after signing the e petition Oscar Davy said: "Prosecution for misbehaviour in school is just wrong. So disproportionate - I thought it was a joke at first."

Not great, but you have to look at it in the context that this is only Pedro Martinez's second game this spring. He's been in trouble, but gotten out of it, which is a positive. I'm always going to wonder about Martinez based on his injury history, but so far things have been good for him.
Keep a good thought he stays sound.

Add Money Flow Indicators to Your Toolbox
Tracking money flow is a key part of my technical trading plan. I use the Chaikin money flow indicator, which measures accumulation/distribution over a set look-back period, and the money flow index, which is a volume-weighted relative strength measure, and overlay a 21-period average on these indicators to act as a signal line. Then I look for crossovers that occur under their centerlines, but this improving money-flow indication has to have a complimentary price trigger point. A break above a clearly defined resistance level on the daily chart is what initiates the trade. Positive price action and improving money flow generally make a good trading combination. Here are two stocks that meet those requirements.
Lexington Corporate Properties (LXP) is a real estate investment trust that owns and operates a portfolio of office, retail and industrial properties. The stock recaptured its 2013 highs with a strong move in the first three months of this year, and then it pulled back under its 50- and 200-day moving averages in the second quarter. The consolidation that followed resembled an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern with neckline resistance in the $10.85 area, and a breakout in May took the stock price to the pattern price target projection in June....307 more words left in this article.

TIJUANA, BC. Estadio Caliente home of Club Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente can be seen now from another angle on Google earth, which the only photos that would be seen everywhere on the internet before, were those from fans and that of the coverage that SanDiegoRed does every week.
Now on Google earth you can see the stadium in 3D.
The Xolos dog pound can be seen at the time where the building could host 12,000 fans, with the northern end that has now been closed and built for concerts and the color red which is very noticeable and in representation of the teams colors, which is accompanied by a background in the photo.
Google Earth has not updated so that every time something like this happens, its something that captures some attention. The interesting thing about this 3D representation is that only the most emblematic buildings of the city are those that are part of the collection of three-dimensional buildings, except in mega cities like New York or Los Angeles which both have a massive architectural representation.
For the users who want to see Estadio Caliente in 3D, you only need to enter the following Google Earth coordinates: 32.506215, -116.992771
While the stadium continues to get bigger, Google earth will show better images of the Xolos home field and until that happens; there are a lot of fans who are eager to see what the images will look like.
Club Tijuana will be playing this coming Sunday against Chivas of Guadalajara, where they will look to win the match and earn their ticket to the Copa Libertadores of America 2013, and also make it into the playoffs and continue to make history in the Mexican soccer league.

Butia Capitata
Pindo Palms are easily spotted because of their unique silver or blue-grey color. The shape is original to the Pindo Palm because of not only how the trunk looks when it's older, but also how the fronds curve back towards the trunk. Their design and color make them useful in Mediterranean, tropical, or desert style landscapes, and are especially beautiful when lit up at night.
Pindo Palms are quite easy to grow because they require minimal pruning and protection from Houston's heat and cold. Big Tex carries the small starter palms to the large instant resort style palms and everything between, so contact one of our specialists on how Pindo Palms can bring a gorgeous and special accent to your landscape.
Our professional planting and delivery service will get any sized order planted and treated with our specialized Super Palm Juice and Moon Dust fertilizer to get your plants growing just right. Contact your closest nursery today to order and schedule an appointment!

Re-issue of Jennifer's first book, Call of the Bell Bird: A Quaker Travels the World as an e-book. Free from eg Google Books and iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/call-of-the-bell-bird/id1000188637?mt=11
£1.99 from Amazon. ASIN: B00YKL9CMC
Jennifer Kavanagh worked in publishing for nearly thirty years, the last fourteen as an independent literary agent.
Since becoming a Quaker in 1995, and selling her business a couple of years later, she has run a community centre in London's East End, worked with street homeless people and refugees, set up a microcredit programme in London, and worked as a research associate for the Prison Reform Trust.
She currently sets up microcredit programmes in Africa and facilitates conflict resolution workshops for Alternatives to Violence (AVP), both in prison and in the community. In 2012 she set up a charitable trust, Open Wing Trust, which seeks to support people as they change their lives to work with and for people in need.
Having worked with writers for almost thirty years in her publishing career, Jennifer is now engaged in her own writing. Apart from a couple of collections of children's short stories that she edited in the 1970s, Jennifer has had eight books of her own published, and has edited one. Her first novel, The Emancipation of B, and her latest non-fiction book, A Little Book of Unknowing, were published last year, both by imprints of John Hunt Publishers.
After a year's travel round the world in 2001/2, Jennifer found that she did not want her flat or most of its furniture, and has felt liberated by letting go of many of her possessions. Although she now lives in central London, her flat is small and quiet: an urban retreat, with an occasional glimpse of the stars.
Jennifer has studied singing for many years; it's an important part of her life as is, increasingly, the art of clowning, which she took up again in 2011. She hopes that creativity and spontaneity – being open to all that is with the freshness of Beginner's mind – will be a growing tendency in her life.
Jennifer finds balancing an active life with a pull towards contemplation a continuing and fruitful challenge. As she writes, "Life in the world is about a series of balances: of the life within and the outside world; inner experience and outward witness, plenitude and the void".

MORE than 5,000 homes in Bournemouth and Poole are at risk of flooding, according to Friends of the Earth.
The campaign group is calling for more investment in flood defences and more action to tackle climate change as it releases its latest analysis of Environment Agency data.
It claims 5,378 homes in the Bournemouth and Poole area at flood risk, including 1,469 that are judged to be at significant risk.
The recent flooding affected many communities in Dorset and along the south coast and nationally, over 6,000 homes were affected. However, the Friends of the Earth said the Environment Agency's figures show a much larger number of properties in the UK could face flooding in the future.
Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, said: "The recent floods are a wake-up call on the need to do more to protect households from climate change.
"Flood defence plans must take into account the expected impacts of climate change, like more rainfall and higer sea levels. Local authorities must look carefully at new planning applications and Government should look at current guidelines and building regulations. We also need a renewed focus on tackling climate change as well as preparing for it, focusing on clean energy instead of blindly pursuing fracking."
Mike Birkin, a campaigner with Friends of the Earth South West, said: "Flooding is devastating for anyone that is affected by it and as a country we must do much more to prepare for the impacts of climate change.
"Without proper investment in flood defences, hundreds of thousands more homes could be put at risk of flooding."

NIKE "LA Mamba" Snapback Cap
Posted by Woody, February 3rd, 2012 04:02 am under Nike
As far as I'm concerned Kobe Bryant has the best nickname in all of pro sports. He has also been a part of some of the best Lakers teams in franchise history, he is a winner hands down. I'm not sure where the nickname Black Mamba originated but I do know it fits Kobe like a glove, much like the Lakers franchise. This NIKE snapback takes the two and puts them together for the snapback shown in this post. It comes in 2 colorways, Black and Black/Grey. Each features a solid Black crown with the a snake embroidered on the front panel in the shape of a snake. Available now at Footaction.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin made a pit stop on Capitol Hill Thursday and received the March of Dimes "Champion for Babies" award at the March of Dimes Volunteer Leadership Conference gala in Washington, D.C.
The 22-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winner was recognized before hundreds of top volunteers from around the country for his work in raising awareness about the foundation's signature fundraiser, March for Babies. Hamlin is the fourth recipient of this award, joining golf legend Arnold Palmer, Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath and sports broadcaster Greg Gumbel.
A new father himself, being involved with March of Dimes has affected Hamlin's perspective on the organization's mission.
"It's an honor to accept this award tonight, and to play a small role in raising the visibility of the great work done by the March of Dimes," Hamlin said. "Their mission hits closer to home as I became a first-time father earlier this year, and I'm grateful that with the help of FedEx, our team has been able to meet and host many families that have been positively impacted by this great organization."
Hamlin's involvement with the organization started when he began driving the FedEx sponsored No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing and for the past six seasons, the race car has featured a special March of Dimes paint scheme with assistance from FedEx.
Together, Hamlin and FedEx have hosted the March of Dimes National Ambassador families every spring at different NASCAR events to share their stories and encourage fans to sign up and support annual fundraising walks. On Thursday, Hamlin was joined by the 2013 ambassador, Nina Centofanti, and her family as they, along with supermodel Niki Taylor, met with Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) among others.
"Excited to be accepting the March for Babies champion award this evening in Washington. Thanks to @FedEx for making this possible," Hamlin (@dennyhamlin) tweeted earlier today.
Hamlin will be racing the No. 11 FedEx Freight Toyota at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.

Estate Tax Laws Are In Flux — Start Strategizing Now
Let's begin with a reasonably well-founded observation: The official repeal this year of estate taxes has seriously flawed most testamentary plans and created mild chaos for estate practitioners. Traditionally, estate planning attorneys have employed "word formula" dispositions phrased in terms of tax concepts for their drafted wills and trusts. For example, for people with larger… Read More →

Jon here.
Hey all, I'm usually more coy when I shamelessly plug my own podcasts. I also usually have a firmer grasp of the English language instead of using words like coy and shameless in the same sentence. But since I'm breaking rules today, and since fellow MyIGNers GodofMoogles and GameGuy523 accompanied me in this podcast, I'm going to overtly and shamelessly plug this particular episode of my weekly Nintendo podcast - the Nintenshow.
See? Right there. I just plugged my other episodes by saying that they're weekly.
Usually in the "Super" Nintenshow, myself and my 2 other co-hosts pick an SNES for another person to play and do a sort of book report on them, sans the book. However, it's very tough to get one member in particular on the line, so Bob and Anthony were kind enough to help me out on the fly.
Plus, I'm really digging their Super Mario World race live stream, so I wanted to give them another chance to plug it.
So check it out because it turned out to be a really good show. We talk about their live stream, discuss a little bit of Super Mario World, a little bit of Golden Eye and a whole lot of other SNES. Plus, we list off our Top 5 Favorite SNES Games.
You can download the show on iTunes, just search for GamersUnanimous or Nintenshow.
Or you can stream the show by following the link.
Thanks for listening!

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
I occupy the home. There is no equity. I want to keep the home but am more inclined to use some of the various defenses, as a result of the securitization problem, to keep the home. I need time to use these strategies ie. bankruptcy to provide the time for my defense.
I am not clear on your 1st question. I have a 1st and a 2nd with B of A. They originally were with Countrywide.
I need time to apply the different strategies and think a Ch. 7 would be better, which could be changed to a 13 later. The idea being to buy time without having to make payments as I would under a 13.
Can a BK be filed in any Federal Court, or does venue apply?

Having a famously vegan and green-minded actress in your cast can have positive effects. Just ask Kenneth Branagh (pictured below), who directed the Oscar winner in the new action fantasy "Thor." When it came to being eco-conscious on set, "We tried where we could to be, led by Natalie Portman who resisted the use of plastic bottles," he says. "She was an influence. And in the action sequences in terms of smoke, the energy we used, it was a factor. I think it is woven into what we do. It is an action movie and you're gonna spill some water every now and again, but I think we attended to it and we did the best we could."
The movie, opening May 6, is based on the Marvel superhero comic book series and figures from Norse mythology. The titular hero (Chris Hemsworth, pictured right with Kenneth Branagh), cast out of the realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins), lands in modern-day New Mexico (where he meets the scientist played by Portman) and has to find a way to redeem himself and reclaim his god-dom. The 6'3" actor ("Star Trek") worked out with a trainer and did heavy weightlifting for six months and followed a Spartan diet to prepare for the role. "I had to force myself to eat chicken breasts and rice and steak — the most exhausting part of it was the eating. It wasn't the fun stuff, either. It wasn't hamburgers and pizza," says Hemsworth, who read some Norse myths and enough Thor comics "to get a sense of who he was and the world he was from." He'll reprise his Thor role in "The Avengers," appear in the remake of "Red Dawn" and in the thriller "Cabin in the Woods," and may co-star with Kristen Stewart in "Snow White and the Huntsman."
Idris Elba ("The Wire," "Luther") has little dialogue in "Thor" but clad in gleaming armor and sporting glowing yellow contact lenses he is an imposing presence as Asgard's all-seeing gatekeeper Heimdall. The costume was quite heavy, and though the acting challenge was not, he signed on for the chance to work with Branagh in a genre he hadn't done. "In terms of my experiences, it's one of the most fun," says Elba, for whom recycling "is a daily routine, getting rid of waste that we produce at home." Having shot "Thor" in California followed by a "Ghost Rider" sequel in Turkey, London-based Elba says he's away too much "to make a real dedicated push" towards eco-living. "But I'm about to get a new car and I'm thinking about getting an electric. It's smart with gas so expensive."
He'll return to BBC America in a second season of "Luther" in the fall, and has a role in Ridley Scott's sci-fi flick "Prometheus" that he can't divulge anything about. "I'm sworn to secrecy," he says. "But it's a phenomenal part."

"We used the Cabernet color for our fall wedding invitations. I love that they appear incredibly expensive without breaking the bank. The paper stock is exceptional, and I love the texture of the cards - it's classy and timeless without being stuffy. I have friends who have paid out their eyes for custom invitations at a printer who were unhappy with the results, had multiple issues along the way, etc... not us! We customized text, changed the fonts and sizes, and altered spacing to put more information on the front. The design team at WPD was there 100% and seemed to intuitively know what we wanted to accomplish. My mother, who was initially skeptical about using an online service for wedding invitations, cannot resist pulling our invitations out to look at them. These invitations are elegant and incredibly impressive - I can't wait for our guests to receive them! The pictures truly don't do them justice."
"I ordered bridal shower invitations. I was so impressed with the Design and quality! I just ordered and received the wedding invitations. The colors, design and the quality so beautiful!! I would definately reccomend Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"Personalization of text worked great, we were able to change more than just the names and information, we could change actual text in the edit section. Even if the text didn't fit in the space allotted, WPD editors quickly made adjustments and sent digital proofs in a very timely manner. Delivery was even a day earlier than predicted! Product is very high quality, thick card stock with beautiful designs and writing. Perfect look for what we were going for!"
"For such a small card, it was still beautifully textured with great colors. We were able to squeeze a lot of information on there for our guests."
"I love this card--and the whole set. The best part was working with wedding paper divas. The sample they sent was great, as they included a sample card of the other colors on the same cardstock. So I was able to know what my "custom" color would look like. love weddingpaperdivas!"
