Hi Seth. Firstly I just wanted to say sorry, I completely forgot we were in the middle of a discussion about football. My heads all over the place at the moment. The answear is yes, I follow football. Secondly, I thought I should just point out that the image of Scott Young I uploaded is a published photo from the Sports contrast Art Book, whereas the old image is a personal photo from Scott's myspace page, which we don't have his permission to use. Thanks:) Jayden Matthews 12:01, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
Divination Staircase
Hi Seth, I just wanted to talk with reference to the edits you've made to the Divination Staircase page. We know that, in the books, the Divination Classroom is located within the North Tower and so I completely understand why the article should say this staircase is located here. However, in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the entrance to this staircase is located on the Seventh Floor Corridor leading off the Grand Staircase. So, I think that it is neccessary we include this info in the Behind the Scenes section. Thanks Joeworthy 17:14, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
Unidentified teachers
Hi, Seth!
Can you have a look on these pages:
Unidentified female Hogwarts employee IV
Unidentified female Hogwarts employee VII
Unidentified male Hogwarts employee XV
They are all three about the same person. You can see always the same image. And this only belongs to male Nr. XV because he is not female. I think the two females are not necessary. The gender is false and that are the same articles with the same text and the same image. Thank you. Harry granger 18:24, July 8, 2010 (UTC) Harry granger 18:25, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
Alice Longbottom page
Hi, Seth! I have a problem. I made an edit to this site and when I am logged in the right sentence is to be seen. When I am logged out there stands the wrong sentence referring to Frank Longbottom and the source 7 instead of the name of Lisa Wood. What's going on? Harry granger 20:03, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Seth!
Thanks for correcting the page. I suddenly recognized the same problem on nearly all pages, which have been corrected. It was so not a one-time job, for example: Sybil Trelawney, Mad-Eye Moody, Talk:Albus Dumbledore and so on. It seems to be a greater problem. Harry granger 17:38, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
Hermione Granger
Is it just me, or is the whole seventh year cluttered with images. I didn't want to start removing images without clearing it. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 00:33, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
My Edits
Okay if you dont wanna unprotect me or let me edit my page. We play a lil game called Win This. I win my pages back. Its not fair by letting other users edit their user page and i cannot. Please give me another chance i beg you please.. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! KallieLynn21 13:29, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
Hello Seth! :)
I just want point out the profile pictures of Fred and George Weasley in their pages. I made an edit because I found out that their pictures is not right. The one that supposedly Fred is George, and George became Fred. Hope you got it right. The main thing is, their pictures as Fred and George are not them. But an unregistered contributor had changed it again, maybe thinking that I'm going mad, but I'm just correcting what is supposed to be corrected. Hope you can do something about it. I know James and Oliver, and I can tell you who is who between them. Thankyou and have a good day. (Auror205 11:12, July 11, 2010 (UTC))
Hi Seth. Did you overlook my question about the Lego game? I copied and pasted it out of your archive.
In the game, there are some Portraits which only react to specific individuals, e. g. Hufflepuffs. If one of these Portrait would react to a person whose house is unknown, would this count as cannonical proof? (I don't know if this happens in the game, though)
Thank you. --Rodolphus 16:19, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
Have you, in the meantime, bought the game? If you have, could you please upload an image of the Lego Professor Binns (1994 is more recent than 1992) and have a look on Talk: Walter Aragon? Thanks.--Rodolphus 17:29, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
Could you please upload an image of this ghost and check if this teacher appears in the game? Thanks.--Rodolphus 12:31, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
Have you overlooked my question? Thanks.--Rodolphus 14:17, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
Do you know the genders of this and this individual? I think the latter is female, but I´m not sure.--Rodolphus 11:38, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
Have you seen this witch in the game?--Rodolphus 17:26, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
Did you overlook my question yesterday?--Rodolphus 12:24, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

wiki article on "poscession"
I could probably just go in and make the change, but I wanted to be sure. Pocession is really spelled Possession, but I thought maybe it was spelled differently by JKR in the HP books intentionally. --BachLynn23 22:26, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
Maurice Netto
Hi, Seth!
I saw your article about Maurice Netto. You call Maurice a witch. But Maurice is a french name and that is a male name. I don't know this name as a female name. I think it must be written that Maurice Netto is a wizard not a witch but I would'nt correct it myself because it is your article and your choice. Harry granger 21:19, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Owlery/Cho Chang's Owl
A discussion has started on the owlery sight regarding whether or not Cho Chang did indeed own an owl. Could you check it out. I'm fairly certain she didn't, and Starstuff agrees with me, if she doesn't Cho Chang's Owl would need to be deleted and owlery edited, I'd like another opinion on the matter though before anything gets deleted. Thanks :-) --BachLynn23 01:02, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
J. K. Rowling
Hi. I moved the page J. K. Rowling to Joanne Rowling a week ago, but it has been reverted. Our Naming Policy says that the full first and last named must be used in the title of the articles. The policy clearly states that (literally copied) An article's title should contain the full first and last names. Moreover, it was changed back to J. K. Rowling by an administrator, Cavalier One. I don't want to contradict an administrator of the wiki, so I would like to know your opinion. Thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 21:22, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
I added 2 better pictures, one of Nearly Headless Nick and one of the Bloody Baron on the "Ghost" page, but they have been taken off. If there was some technical reason or rule that was the reason my additions were taken off I understand, but can't we have a better picture of them on there? The supposed picture of Nearly Headless Nick is really just a picture of Ron with his mouth open, you can't see Nick at all, and the Bloody Baron you can barely make out the front part of his face as he comes through the wall, same with the grey lady and fat friar, but I didn't have better pictures of them. --BachLynn23 12:25, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
Could you look at the Forum:Black family and kindly cite the family portion of the infobox policy as to why we shouldn't include all the myriad of relations to each other in the Black family. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 22:27, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Hogwarts Tapestry
I'm sorry, I don't want to own the image or anything similar. It's just that, when creating the section, I looked in My contributions for "File:___" and I listed all the images I found. What I didn't notice is that I didn't "upload" your image, I just added categories to that image. Hopefully you understand what I'm talking about. I have removed the picture from my userpage. Sorry again and thanks, El Profeta Vespertino 22:32, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, do you know more about the guy in the 5th movie, holding Ginny hostage? On Travers's page, they say that Tav Macdougal was playing Travers, but on IMDb his character is just listed as "death eater", so I was thinking maybe someone in the movie addressed him specifically as "Travers" for the person who created that page to think that Tav was playing him and not Rabastan, or maybe JK Rowling confirmed who that death eater was somewhere in an interview. --BachLynn23 13:33, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
- Well if that's the general consenus to everyone on here, then I'll concede, but seriously, I've watched the movie, watched the credits on the movie, scoured the internet and every harry potter site I cold find (I didn't have anything else to do today), and I can't find proof anywhere that Tav MacDougal was in fact Travers, he was only cast in movie 5 so there isn't even anything else to judge by. I'm hoping that in the gringotts break in part of deathly hallows they stay true to the book and have Travers run into Bellatrix/Hermione, then we will have a difinitve picture of Travers to put on his page that can't be argued. --BachLynn23 15:06, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
Room of Rewards
Hi, Seth! I write about the Room of Rewards article. Is it canon? I think it should not be considered canon. It is highly unlikely that the Hogwarts founders built a room with the Characters Cup, Lessons cup, Making off videos etc. In my opinion, it is the only room in OotP Hogwarts that does not make sense in the Harry Potter universe. If this is canon, the stars you have to go through in the next game when playing Quidditch should also be, but in the real universe they do not go through stars to play Quidditch.

past tense
Hi, I was wondering if you could clear something up for me..... As I've been editing pages, I've noticed a lot of inconsistencies in tenses. I thought that everything was supposed to be in past tense, but I keep seeing both, and I just wanted to be clear which way the articles are supposed to read before I made changes to the tense. --BachLynn23 22:01, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

probity probe/secrecy sensor
Hi, on both the secrecy sensor and probity probe pages, it says that Harry was scanned with these in 1995, which is I'm assuming when he was there for his hearing, but I've looked through both the british and american versions of the book and can only find where Eric the security guy checks Harry's wand. I also just watched the movie and didn't see either of these objects, where did this happen or did it? --BachLynn23 20:13, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
I've got a n unregistered user dropping all responsibility for verifying/correctly formatting his articles on me (take a look at the bottom two posts on my talk page). Could you help me out with those? --JKoch(Owl Me!) 16:02, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Peter's Finger
Someone just created a page for the finger that Peter Pettigrew lost, is this really necessary? I mean it seems to me it may be going a little over board with the articles, but then again, maybe it is something worth having it's own article. What do you think? --BachLynn23 18:36, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
In the Deathly Hallows trailor it is shown that Harry and Voldemort have a final Priori Incantatum effect when they face eachother for the last time. But Voldemort had the Elder wand and harry had Draco Malfoy's wand so why is it that in the preview the orb in the center where the spells meet it is golden and not white because the wands aren't brothers? Ravenclawstudent
Hey, what was decided about what house Quirrell was in when he was a Hogwarts student? Someone has put on his page again that he was a Slytherin, but I thought our only basis for that so far was that in the lego harry potter game he could get into the Slytherin dungeon.... Which I thought was decided that being that Voldemort was possessing him at the time wasn't enough proof what house he used to belong to....what do you think? I don't want to change the article again if it was decided that he did in fact used to be a slytherin, but the person who changed it didn't reference anything new besides the lego game. --BachLynn23 23:25, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Another Question
1. Why do they have the same effect as Priori Incantatum even though the wands are not brothers.
2. What do you mean by a "generic effect".
3. Why is there a physical residue falling from the core where the spells meet? What makes up the residue?
4. What is the significance of the dome effect and it's purpose? Is it to protect the dualists or to keep everybody else out of the dual?
5. When the spells meet do they coil up in eachother or do they make an orb?
Sorry for all the questions at once but my best friend and I are compiling a book of Harry Potter spells and their effects and many other numerous things for our own enjoyment and not ment to be published. We are creating this book for ourselves and would very much appreciate what detailed information you can give us whenever you can give us your help. We are creating this book simply because we enjoy Harry Potter and we tend to ask a lot of questions that we hope you can answer. Thank you very much, Ravenclawstudent.:) and best friend!
Featured article nominations
Hey, Seth. I noticed that the Featured article nominations page is starting to get a little full with too many votes. Could you give a vote or two for a featured article (particularly Tom Riddle Sr. and Elder Wand, which have both been on hold with one unspeakable vote for a while) and lay out a few guidelines for others that have not been reviewed yet?

Yeah i can tell u guys are getting fustrated with me. Sorry. I dont really know how to make the asteric change so i just make this -.The articles i made that need vertification, however are all canon. Sponge-knees curse is in the Daily Prophet newsletters, and tubeworm,newt,pufferfish and the other potion ingredients were taken directly from the harry potter lexicon. Also fur spell, is in refrence to when George and fred would cover themselves with fur and boils to try and cheer up ginny. I also made articles of muggle stuff. Airplane, television, telephone, automobile, rubber duck. check em out. I plan on making a cockroach page and adding to the sprite page.

House of Black
Could you talk to 22.214.171.124 about the meaning of blood continuing through the female line. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 01:41, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
The reason I have moved the pages from "Classroom 1B" to "Transfiguration Classroom", etc. is because these names are not from JK's books. From what I've experienced on this Wiki, if JKR names something and a film/game names something different, then we go with JKR's name, and JKR refers to these as <lesson> Classroom, not Classroom "1B". Secondly, later games and the films have established the names that I have used, therefore contradicting earlier games and placing the names used out-of-canon.--Jpkilleen 15:45, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but
Yeah, but, "Defensive charm". It just...is plain. It isn't identified, because all we know is that its a charm used for defense. Just like Protego. What if you merged them?
Yeah, I knew that. But unless you can state other wise, to me, the growth charm and Engorgio will always be the same thing.

Featured articles
Hello Seth. I just checked the featured article list and noticed that we desperately need a featured article from the 4th of November up to the release of Deathly Hallows: Part 1. I think that we should have Elder Wand be featured on the day the film comes out (since we already have 1 unspeakable vote from Grunny), and have another article fill in the 5th through 18th.

image question
Hey, do you know if images can be added to food pages that aren't necessarily from the books/movies. For instances, fruit cake, would the picture of a fruit cake have to be specifically from the book or a movie or something, or can it just be a picture of a fruit cake from anywhere? --BachLynn23 18:36, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I wasn't sure, I figured a chocolate eclair was a chocolate eclair, but I hadn't heard anything. Oh, but that means all the country photos should be deleted too right (map pictures and such)? Because I saw one already uploaded, so I figured it was ok, but as it would fall under the same category as chocolate eclair and the whole cannon thing I'm guessing all of those should be deleted too right? I won't delete the ones I uploaded until I hear from you. --BachLynn23 15:29, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

map images
I'm confused, there is an entire category for Images of maps, so why did the map pictures that I uploaded have to be deleted? Also, if images of maps are acceptable despite not being from the cannon tier, how come images of food aren't acceptable, I'm really really confused now. --BachLynn23 17:55, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
- That's cool, sorry if I came across snippy, the dog was barking and I couldn't concentrate one what I was typing, I'm just amazed at how many pictures made it onto this wikia that aren't cannon without notice until now, I mean I counted something like 25 to 30 pictures so far of maps alone. Some that were put there a year ago. It's good to get these off though, that way it won't confuse newbies down the road. I'd help delete, but I don't know how or even if I can. Thanks for taking care of this! :-) --BachLynn23 18:04, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

LV and his robes
Hey, the last few days User:Voldemortiselegant, has been making a lot of changes to any page to do with Voldemort, specifically Tom Riddle, and a lot of what he writes seems a little over the top with adjectives. This last edit he's using words like regal elegance and "graceful when he moves", it seems a little much. Oh, and he just made the page again for LV's robes that you had deleted. --BachLynn23 21:49, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

After a few months of playing coy with the press about the nature of her relationship with Sandra Bullock's ex, Kat Von D is finally opening up about her true feelings.
"I don't hang out with anybody unless I'm in love, "she told People magazine about beau Jesse James at the opening of her new Wonderland gallery in West Hollywood.
When asked if the the West Coast Choppers honcho is "the one" for her, she replied, "I believe he is, so yeah."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Von D said that she was not put off by the very public split between James and the Academy Award winning Bullock, though she did wait for the air to clear a little before making her move.
"I stayed away from that as much as possible, and we when connected recently, it was such a positive thing," she said. "It was just like, 'Wow, I can't believe I haven't spent this much time with you the entire time I've known you.' Now I'm just embracing it and enjoying it."
For his part, James says that he likes "everything" about Von D and that he's "happy" with their relationship.

Need a space for meetings, networking, or entertaining too?
Kart Racing Programs
From team building to corporate entertainment, small groups and large; karting events are as fast paced as the business world…with a touch more adrenaline built in.
Participants drive CMP's fleet of Birel Racing Karts on their .7-mile, outdoor, high-grip track. These karts are equipped with racing tires and capable of speeds of 50mph. All gear is provided, all you have to do is show up and drive!
The CMP staff can customize karting events in a number of different racing formats, team challenges, or specific team building activities. They are structured to meet a broad range of corporate objectives for an exciting, productive, and goal-specific event.
Sprint Races are a shootout style race or elimination race…think March Madness for karting. They include practice sessions, heat races, and a final shootout. While friendly competition is encouraged…it's not cutthroat. We leave that for the "rat race" in the corporate world.
Enduro Races are a team race where teams compete to finish the highest number of laps in a given time period. Driver changes are a required element of this race. Other strategic components can be added to further enhance and challenge the cooperative efforts of each team. (Tire changes, added weight, required pit stops, etc.)
Any racing format or general session can be customized to incorporate team building elements, leadership skills, LEAN training components, and much, much more.
Corporate Kart Racing is great way to bring groups together and bond with team members, employees or customers.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

"More Odd Stuff" from Charlie Allen
Another very diverse, eclectic, group of ad illustrations....continuing the odd, but good, clips from the venerable old file. But first, a dinosaur chuckle to lighten the day.
First illustration, in this case a very different cartoon style and I thought you'd appreciate.
The name is 'Weber' or 'Weker'....don't know. A football article, and no idea from what magazine or publication.
Second, a Honda motorcycle ad, frequent and ubiquitous in the magazines of the 60's. I'll call it 'illustration lite', almost all done by the same illustrator.... I don't know who. The reason I think it's good....the colors are always bright and cheerful....the low power modern Honda bikes looked simple and appealing....the draftsmanship was excellent....all in all, very effective advertising.
Honda was changing motorbike sport and transportation, formerly dominated by the 'burly' Harley crowd. Honda made biking a middle class, desirable, acceptable way to get around. The ads so effective, I spent several afternoons doing trial runs, mainly at the dealer's lot, trying out a 50cc bike. Never got one, to my regret, but maybe furthering my safety and extension of the illustrator biz!
Next ad, a natural gas magazine illustration by Al Muenchen....an illustrator about my age whom I met a few times. He came out from the east to check the western 'scene'. Always competant....and sometimes, (in the Sat. Eve. Post) exceptionally good editorial illustration.
Next, a Pall Mall ad, artist unknown, but definitely one of the many 'Fuchs School' illustrators. Again, very slick, competent work.
Following that, a wine ad that's beautifully drawn and rendered. Loose, relaxed, excellent drawing, et al. I want to say Mitchell Hooks, but I'm probably way off on the artist. (Charlie is correct, this is by Mitchell ~ L)
This was a series as I remember.
Finally, a simple strong game ad, again the Fuchs School....but effective and attractive.
Hey, enough for now. Thanks, I think, for the TI 'old file' blog! These things are definitely not seen these days.
Cheers...... Chas.

Thanks for the cool collection of images! The cartoony stuff is Don Weller-who like so many illustrators from that era are now doing beautiful gallery work.ReplyDelete
Steve is right, the first stuff is by Don Weller. He's an old friend of mine and now only does occasional illustration since he and wife Cha Cha gave up designing Park City Magazine last year. His watercolors are fantastic and show off his immaculate sense of design and color. He also enjoys working his cutting horses on his Oakley, Utah ranch. His website is well worth a look.ReplyDelete
I see Greg and Steve beat me to the Don Weller call!ReplyDelete
Love the Don Weller.
This is a terrific series, Mr. Allen! Thanks! Keep 'em coming!!
I saw a lot of obvious early Fuchs influence in many illustrator's work, especially in the 1960s' and into the 70s'. But, as competent as some of those illustrators were, Fuchs had his own elegant taste in the way he posed his models and grouped them together, his exquisite subtle jewel like color combinations and his loose free-flowing brushwork, that gave a special energy to his work. I think he had a very instinctive sophisticated sense of taste that few illustrators achieved before or since.ReplyDelete
These are definitely some of the better examples of the Fuchs look, as Charlie has pointed out, but I sure saw a lot of cheap Fuchs imitations popping up in magazines at that time,.
I knew of illustrators that purposely followed Fuchs' career footsteps.. working first for the Detroit studios in the car advertising industry, before moving on to the "big apple" or another large city. Fuchs was a trail blazer for a lot of mid century illustrators.
I think I read somewhere that Don Weller was one of the few nationally known illustrators working out of L.A. at that time. His work was always distinctively creative.
Tom Watson
I thought the dinosaur cartoon was great, a real "that would've been ME!" moment. I'd never heard of Don Weller before, but I checked out his web site and just fell in love with his watercolors. It's one of the few times in my life that I've looked at art and actually heard music, like a symphony in the far distance.ReplyDelete
- Rich2:35 PM
Brilliant! Just brilliant choice:ReplyDelete
Looking at "More Old Stuff" right now in the evening...so I can't very well say "you made my day", also with this dinosaur cartoon. But tomorrow is next day. You shall have made that for me as well!
Thanks for the assorted images.The natural gas ad seems like a perfect compromise between a flat,graphic style and a painted impressionistic style.ReplyDelete
I have the Oh-Wah-Ree board game image in my clip file also.My dad worked at 3M company,and was given free samples of the 3M board games(like Battleship).Never played it,but I had to save the cover art.Always wondered who did it.
- Charlie Allen11:33 AM
To Steve and others....thanks for the Don Weller web address. Wow! The guy is amazing....and handles watercolor in such a competent and unusual way. Impeccable sense of design, and of emphasizing and subordinating his backgrounds and figures. A little weak on 'photo distortion'....proportions of figures, horses, etc. He obviously uses reference....but the artist must draw, edit, interpret that reference....always. With ad illustration it was a constant element in the struggle to do professional work.ReplyDelete

Principles of sealing selection and application
Industrial shaft seals are used to seal the opening between a rotating and a stationary component, or between two components in relative motion. Primary seal functions include:
- Retain the lubricant
- Exclude contaminants
- Separate two different media
- Seal under pressure
To be effective, industrial shaft seals should operate with a minimum of friction and wear, even under unfavourable operating conditions. In order to meet the requirements of a variety of different applications and operating conditions, SKF industrial shaft seals for rotating machine components are manufactured from many different designs, materials and executions. Each of these designs and material combinations has specific properties, making them suitable for a particular application.
The SKF assortment of industrial shaft seals comprises hundreds of different designs and material combinations. The products which are shown in this chapter and listed in the product tables are the more commonly used seal types and sizes.
Guidance values
Since several factors simultaneously affect the sealing system and seal performance, all stated values in graphs and tables in this chapter should be considered as guidelines only and not as absolute values for practical applications.

A crew from Daytona Beach got power up and running at home. Ironically, these guys all ride. I told them we were down there for Biketoberfest and spent the rest of the week in Disney. We bullshitted about bikes for a few, but these cats are busy getting our state back up. A BIG thank you to my union brothers from other states lending a hand.
The Army Corp. Of Engineers brought us some industrial generators to get overhead lighting in the shop. They also brought some heavy equipment to move stuff after all our equipment failed. We do have a few trains running now. Hopefully we start moving commuters and we all can keep our jobs. With the railroad in shambles, getting time in the garage will be next to impossible.

The backhoe operator implicated in last summer's deadly building collapse in Philadelphia is facing upgraded charges.
Sean Benschop, a.k.a. Kary Roberts, had six counts of involuntary manslaughter upgraded to charges of third degree murder during a preliminary hearing in the Court of Common Pleas on Tuesday. The man has pled not guilty to the charges.
Benschop, 43, was operating the excavator at the site of a building demolition at 2136 Market Street on the morning of June 5, 2013 when the building's western wall collapsed. The four-story brick wall was free-standing and had not been braced using demolition equipment.
The debris from the wall crushed the one-story Salvation Army Thrift Shop next door, on the corner of 22nd and Market Streets, burying shoppers and store clerks alive. Six people died in the collapse, and 13 others were injured.
U.S. & World
The most severely injured person, Mariya Plekan, had both legs amputated at the hips after being pinned beneath the brick, steel and glass debris for more than 12 hours. She spent five months in the hospital.
Benschop was arrested shortly after the collapse and underwent drug and alcohol tests. Police said those tests came up positive for prescription painkiller and marijuana use. The man, however, did have a broken arm, for which he said the painkillers were being used.
He and his family have maintained the man's innocence during the entire ordeal. His attorney, Daine Grey, told NBC10 Philadelphia in September 2013 that he believed evidence would vindicate his client.
Along with the newly upgraded charges, Benschop also still faces 13 counts of reckless endangerment. Should he be found not guilty of the murder charges he could still be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Benschop was the only man charged in the case for several months, until Griffin T. Campbell, the contractor on the job, was arrested last November.
Campbell, 49, stands charged with six counts of third degree murder, six counts of involuntary manslaughter and 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person.
Several investigations were launched in the wake of the collapse including the convening of a grand jury. The grand jury came back with their findings in November 2013 and along with that presentment, came the charges against Campbell.
Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said the building was not properly demolished and that those involved ignored safety advice.
He also said additional charges could be brought forward at a later time based on the investigation.
Plato Marinakos, the architect and the expeditor for the construction project at the building, also spoke in court on Tuesday and provided prosecutors with pictures he took with his camera a day before the collapse.
Marinakos, a key witness for prosecutors in their case against Benschop and Campbell, was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony.
"This whole construction site became extraordinarily dangerous very quickly," said Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Selber. "Plato Marinakos himself didn't get there until 6 p.m. on the Tuesday evening before the collapse. When he saw the inherent danger, he immediately told Griffin Campbell, who knew anyway."
Jay Bryan, the father of Anne Bryan, who was killed in the collapse, told NBC10 he hoped the ongoing grand jury investigation would lead to more results.
"We're grateful that it sounds like the investigation is ongoing," Bryan said. "We hope that everyone will be held accountable from bottom to top."

You will be creating a dashboard application that reports GitHub activity and displays blog posts and displays tweets about Mojito and YUI. We will be building our application in stages, so that you will start from the most basic Mojito application and then add new features.
The screenshot below is of the final dashboard application that you will be building. The application has a separate dashboard for YUI and Mojito information, such as GitHub statistics, Twitter feeds, YouTube videos, etc.
Intermediate to advanced developers interested in creating Web applications for the desktop and mobile devices will benefit from using Mojito. Those developers who have used the YUI library and Node.js will have an easier time learning how to use Mojito.
During each module, we want to emphasize a specific topic and create an application, so that you will learn something that you can build on and have yet another application under your belt. More importantly though, we want to show you how to develop Web applications with Mojito, and when you're finished, feel confident enough to use Mojito to add features to your own Web application.
You'll be creating a standalone application for each module, which will be displayed in a screenshot in the introduction. The application that you create in a modules will be used as the starting point for the proceeding module. The idea is to build a complex and full-featured application in stages, so that you not only learn the focus of the module that you are working on, but also are learning how to develop with Mojito. Starting from where we left off will allow you to save time and your prior efforts, but there will be times when we need to move or modify code from the past module. This is intentional and part of the education for learning how to use Mojito.
The structure of modules, in general, will include the follow sections:
The dashboard application that you will be developing is intended to help developers of YUI and Mojito by presenting information about the project(s) and provide tools and information to YUI and Mojito developers on a day-to-day basis, as well as online documentation, news, and resources.
For more advanced users, they can view the final dashboard application as a reference application showcasing many of Mojito's features. They'll also be able to learn how to best use YUI and YUI CSS in a Mojito application and the best practices for writing code for Mojito applications.
Besides Mojito, your dashboard application also relies on the following technologies:
The Dashboard application is a Web-based application that utilizes Mojito to access YQL data sources for various information about the YUI and Mojito projects. Mojito is the application layer that handles accessing the YQL data and generates the HTML which is sent to the client. Presentation is handled via HTML using the Handlebars template engine in Mojito. Look and feel is handled by YUI CSS including responsive grids. We'll also have separate templates for the iPhone and iPad to customize the the layout of the page.
We expect that you have read the Introducing Mojito and completed the Mojito Quickstart. The introduction will give you an overview of Mojito, and the quickstart will show you what you need to install and how to run simple Mojito commands to create and run a simple application.
Because Mojito runs in the Node.js environment on the server, we recommend that if you do not have experience using Node.js or npm, go through the Node.js documentation and How to Node. Understanding the Node.js module system, why not to write blocking code, being familiar with the API and utilities, will all help you develop and debug Mojito applications. You'll also learn how to use npm modules and Node.js core modules to do work for your applications.
Mojito runs in the Node.js environment, but it's built with YUI. Understanding YUI will help you understand the Mojito source code and write applications. You can also easily use or write YUI modules that can be used in your application code. You don't need to know YUI to use Mojito, but just being familiar with YUI will give you a great advantage in developing Mojito applications.
The tutorial is divided into the following ten self-contained modules, each covering a critical topic for development.
For each module of this tutorial, you can find the source code in the examples/dashboard directory of the Mojito GitHub repository. If you find issues or would like to improve the applications, feel free to make a pull request.
To help you remember what you learned in each module, we're going to use the following naming convention:
Application names: {mod_num}_mod_name Mojit names: {mojit_name}
Commands, variables, directories, and files appear in monospaced font. Commands that you are supposed to type and GUI elements appear in boldface type. Ellipses in code snippets indicate that the displayed code is only part of the whole:
index: function(ac) {
ac.done({data: data});

Rope too short: warning - danger!
- Read the technical notice before viewing the following techniques.
- It is important to fully understand the information provided in the technical notice before using this complementary information
- Mastering these techniques requires training.
- Consult a professional before attempting to perform these techniques on your own.
Consider the following scenario: a climber attempts a 40 m route with a 70 m rope...
Rope too short: the cause of many lowering and rappelling accidents, yet it takes only a few simple precautions to avoid this type of accident.
First of all, whatever the activity: crag climbing, multi-pitch, mountaineering, ice, it is essential to have studied the topo and/or to have acquired the information necessary to go climbing with a rope of sufficient length. It can be useful to take a rope that is 5 m longer than the anticipated need.
Once on the route, you may discover that reality differs from description, and thus find yourself with a rope that is too short. The situation can become difficult if you don't take precautions...
So, once on the route, what habits should be adopted?
- For crag climbing, ALWAYS tie a knot in the end of the rope.
- For rappelling, we recommend tying a knot in each rope end, mainly in the following cases: you are unsure of the next rappel length, visibility is poor, you are uncertain about the location of the next belay station...
And if you find yourself jammed against a knot at the end of the rope, it's obviously necessary to know enough about rope ascent techniques to get yourself out of this difficult situation (ascending a rope with the REVERSO).
- For multi-pitch climbing, before leaving the ground, discuss and establish communication rules for the climb. Consider the case where the leader runs out of rope before gaining the belay station. In this case, you might decide to simul-climb with a taut rope. To protect this phase, see our tip Progression with a taut rope using a TIBLOC.

Sometimes a car comes with a pedigree, sometimes it's because it was owned by a celebrity. Today, Nice Price or Crack Pipe croons you a tune, and it's in the key of AMG.
For this AMG mercedes ML55
If eBay is still alive
If your bid does survive
You may win. . .
In the year twenty-oh-nine
Nice Price or Crack Pipe searches to find
Car and trucks for such a cost
That you may think the seller's sense is lost
In the year twenty-oh-oh
This mercedes truck first said hello
The seller claims it's horsepower is four hundred
He likes it better than a Cayenne, in case you wondered
Back in the year twenty-oh-oh
Mercedes got the SUV bug, don't you know
Built these things in Tennessee
And this one's engine's by AMG
Now in the year twenty-oh-nine
The seller wants fourteen grand, won't take less a dime
It's a truck that looks like a minivan
And he claims it was owned by a celebrity man
In the year nineteen-sixty-nine
Evan & Zager wrote a song all about time
About pollution, and how we are bad
It was a hit even though it made people sad
Back in the year twenty-oh-nine
Zager's mercedes is on the eBay auction line
The seller thinks with this history the value it will nudge
But we all know you'll all be the judge
Now it's a mercedes ML55
That's not too bad a truck to have when you're alive
It should be quick, should handle too
But about the cost, what will you do?
Is fourteen grand a price that's nice?
Is the celebrity history a throw of the dice?
For this truck, what would you really pay ?
So it's not crack pipe, and saves the seller's day?
eBay, or go here, if the ad starts singing a new tune.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
The bagpipe is possibly the only musical instrument to have been labeled a tool of warfare.
In 1746, after wiping a field clear of rebellious Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden, the British government collected a handful of supposed POWs and put them on trial in York. Included in the group was James Reid, a Scottish man about whom not much is known except that he played the bagpipes.
Reid's lawyers argued that he was innocent based on the fact that he carried no arms into battle. But the judge disagreed, ruling that "a Highland regiment never marched without a piper, and, therefore, that in the eye of the law, Reid's bagpipes were an instrument of war."
The court then ordered Reid hung by the neck until dead, a feat joyfully performed by the British authorities.
The judge in this case might have truly believed that the act of playing the bagpipes constituted treason. Or he may just not have cared for the droning sack of tubes and sheepskin. Whether it be because the instrument looks ridiculous – like playing a large offal – or more likely because its design lacks a volume control, the instrument seems to bring out the worst in some cities, which have raced to ban it from hearing distance.
The latest salvo in the War Against Bagpipes landed in Vancouver. A musician caused a media stink because the municipal code included a prohibition against busking with drums or bagpipes. The city's engineering department had pushed for the regulation, because pipers playing loud renditions of tunes like "Fields of Athenry" and "My Mother's Ay Glowering O'er Me" were interfering with its work.
But yesterday, Mayor Gregor Robertson threw out the anti-pipe ordinance. "The clans won't stand for it!" he said. Vancouver is now a safe haven for buskers to blare music on a Great Highland Bagpipe, Uillean pipes, Northumbrian pipes, Zampogna pipes and any other type of wheezy wind instrument.
Here's a bagpipe joke: Why do pipers walk when they play? To get away from the sound. Below, find a few notable occasions when people tried to do away with the bagpipe's characteristic noise:
1999: A British man named Clive Hibberts living in Edinburgh begins what he calls the Campaign Against Bagpipes. Hibberts and his friends travel up and down the city's famed Royal Mile, picketing pipers who congregate there to busk. Despite a burning passion to remake Scotland's national identity – "Scotland may never have an opportunity quite like this again. We must clutch the thistle." – the campaign ultimately fails. (His other campaign against kilts dies, too.)
2007: Ciaran Murtagh and Andrew Jones start the second Campaign Against Bagpipes, arguing: "They all sound the same. These tunes that bagpipers profess to play all sound equally bad. Where is the talent in that? Isn't it time to make Scotland a quieter place?" One of the group's long-term goals is the establishment of a sanctuary for pipers on the mountainous Isle of Skye, where they could play to their heart's content without irritating city dwellers. "In this sanctuary bagpipers may play and dress as they please, far from civilization and annoyance. We will ship tourists out to view these curiosities in their natural habitat; similar to the puffin viewing trips currently undertaken to the Isle of Mull." This campaign seems to have failed, too.
2008: In Oxford, a piper called Heath Richardson is banned from busking and gets so depressed he flies back to his native Australia. He had run afoul of a new regulation limiting the time a person can play a bagpipes in public to one hour. Richardson actually was the reason for this law's existence: After four hundred of the area's shopowners signed a petition calling for his exile, the city council adopted the time limit. The town rejoices in its new pipe-free existence. Richardson had "corrupted sales with his incessant noise and gave the shopkeepers horrible headaches," said one shopkeeper.
2008: In an amazing turn of events, Edinburgh threatens to arrest any bagpiper who blows on the Royal Mile. City officials complained that they received up to 100 calls a day about deafening bagpipe music and didn't have the resources to deal with it. As part of the Bloody Bagpipe Crackdown, scores of buskers are forced to sign "acceptable behaviour contracts" that ban them from playing in certain neighborhoods. Piper Shaun Cartwright, who was handcuffed and carted away in a police car for causing "distress" to bystanders, said that 'I've been arrested six times and it's always in England.... I know in my heart the public are on buskers' side. But the prejudice from authorities and shops is just getting worse and worse."
2009: Piper Simon McLean is forbidden to perform for 72 hours in the New Zealand town of Dunedin after he disobeys orders from a noise-control officer to shut up. Several of the locals actually stick up for his right to play outside the Scottish Shop, although one disaffected business owner said, "It's OK for residents. They don't have him standing outside their door."
2011: Edinburgh passes another law forbidding business from playing bagpipe music from their sidewalk speakers. According to the BBC, "Edinburgh City council has also received complaints of shops' tartan goods blocking pavements."
2011: Back in New Zealand, Rugby World Cup officials declare the bagpipe unwelcome at future games. The instrument joins a list of banned items that includes flares and air horns. Sports broadcaster Miles Davis goes on record to say he's behind the prohibition, because bagpipes sound like "a hyena caught in a gin trap" and are "as bad as the vuvuzela."

Highest quality, hand 'tearable' lightweight elastic adhesive tape.
The lightweight properties make this tape ideal in situations where the wearer doesn't want a bulky strapping.
It is commonly used by professional soccer players to tape their ankles as it allows them to still wear a soccer boot and doesn't interfere with their game. Because it has elastic properties it is also ideal for use as a compression wrap. If the injured part swells then the wrap 'gives' due to its elastic nature.
3.8cm x 6.9m (1.5" x 7.5yards).
This tape will adhere securely to skin or can be used on top of M-Wrap Foam Underwrap (also available in our PhysioRoom Store). Its high quality manufacture means it comes off the roll smoothly and conforms to the body part that is being taped.
It can be used to secure a tape job in order to provide physical support and increase proprioceptive awareness (giving sensory feedback to the brain that helps prevent the patient 'going over' on the injured part).

Sixty percent of employees say they had confidential information stored on their laptops, but most don't go to the trouble of securing it.
According to new research, employees report having confidential client information, personal financial information, company information and other personal information on their work laptops, yet most don't worry about it getting stolen.
Fifty-seven percent of workers said they did not own a security device for their laptop. An additional 52 percent of workers said they did not lock their laptop when they left their office and one-quarter of workers said they left their laptop unsecured overnight.
Those risks are heightened by workers not keeping their passwords secure. Nearly 30 percent of workers said a co-worker had shared passwords with them and 15 percent said they had shared their passwords with others. An additional 12 percent said they kept their passwords written down at their desk.
Aside from not taking simple security measures, workers have also not participated in the smartest way regarding security. Eighteen percent of workers admit to clicking on a link or opening an attachment from a sender they did not know. The same number also said they looked at a website they knew was not secure. Nine percent of workers have downloaded a virus on their computer.
[BYOD: A Double-Edged Sword for Employers]
"Laptops and mobile devices are quickly becoming the preferred technologies for many businesses," said Eric Presley, chief technology officer at CareerBuilder, which conducted the research. "It's important for employers and workers alike to take precautions to reduce vulnerabilities and keep company information secure."
To avoid some of the above problems caused by laptops and bring your own device (BYOD), Presley recommends workers follow these tips.
- Use hard-to-decipher passwords — Use a different password for home and work and don't share them with anyone. Make sure your mobile phone requires a password as well.
- Never click on links or attachments from unknown sources — There's a good chance there may be a virus lurking behind the scenes.
- Don't leave your laptop unattended — Invest in a laptop security cable and lock your laptop when you're away from your desk. Avoid leaving your laptop in your car.
- Keep up to date — Make sure your laptop computer's security has the latest anti-virus software to stave off thieves.
- Keep personal information separate —Store personal financial information and other files on your home computer.
The information in this research was based on the responses of 3,892 workers. The research was conducted by Harris Interactive for CareerBuilder.

Bigeye P-629: Shutter and Trigger Modes
Normally, TriggerMode switches between image-on-demand (IOD) and continuous mode. The Bigeye P-629 is an exception, since this camera model always operates in IOD mode. TriggerMode is used instead to enable shutter control by Pin 9.
If TriggerMode = OFF, Pin 9 controls the behavior of the shutter:
open (or TTL HIGH, default) => shutter permanently open
GND (or TTL LOW) => shutter closed during image output
Pin 9 is connected to an internal pull-up resistor, therefore its default state is HIGH.
If pin 9 is unconnected and in its default state, the shutter can be activated and deactivated by setting TriggerMode to ON and OFF. As soon as TriggerMode is ON, the level at Pin 9 is ignored and the shutter operates normally: It is closed during image output.
Additionally, the camera can be triggered by an external pulse signal (Pin 10/11) or by the internal timer. The width of the external pulse signal determines the exposure and dark time. If the internal timer is used, it generates the proper timing signal according to the values given by DarkTime and ExposureTime.
ExposureMode = Timed => internal timer is used
ExposureMode = OFF => external trigger signal used

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - - Euro zone finance ministers are unlikely to release a new tranche of loans to Greece on Monday as there is no agreement yet on how to make its debt sustainable but Athens is set to get two more years to cut debt, officials said.
Euro zone finance ministers, called the Eurogroup, meet on Monday in Brussels where the main topic of their discussions will be unfreezing lending to Greece, held up after Athens went way off track with promised reforms and fiscal consolidation.
Even though Greece passed a structural reform package in parliament on Wednesday and is to vote through an austerity budget for 2013 on Sunday, the ministers are not in a position to make a final decision.
"There is a very, very high ... probability of a second round of discussions to finalize everything," a senior EU official said.
The ministers will analyze all the reform commitments Greece will have made by then via parliamentary votes, to judge whether an austerity programme promised in exchange for the loans was back on track.
Key to a final agreement is an analysis of how to make Greek debt, which is forecast to reach almost 190 percent of GDP next year, sustainable again after the country's spendthrift ways started the euro zone sovereign debt crisis in 2010.
International lenders — the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank, called the troika — cannot yet agree on the way to do that.
Estimates of the debt level by 2020 differ by 10-20 percentage points, officials have told Reuters.
Even if the analysis were ready for Monday, it would still need to be sent to national parliaments, notably Germany, which would then give their go-ahead to governments to approve the disbursement of the next, 31.5 billion euro tranche for Greece — money it needs desperately to pay off loans and shore up its banks.
One thing the lenders do agree on now is that Greece, which will see its sixth year of deep recession in 2013, needs at least two more years to reach a primary budget surplus that would put its debt on a downward path.
The extra time would allow the economy to start growing again, otherwise it would never produce enough for the country to repay its debt.
This surplus target was set in March at 4.5 percent of GDP in 2014 and while there is no final decision yet, officials say it is likely to be moved to 2016 because of delays with reforms and a deeper than expected recession.
"The troika has been producing all of its reports and fiscal analyses and adjustment paths on the basis of an additional two years to reach a primary surplus of 4.5 percent of GDP," the senior official said.
The extra time would mean the euro zone would have to provide extra financing for Greece, which officials have put at 30 billion euros. This is politically difficult in Germany, the Netherlands and Finland where public opinion is weary of bailouts.
The two extra years would also mean that the targeted Greek debt-to-GDP ratio, set by lenders in March at below 120 percent in 2020, would be shifted to 2022, officials said.
Among the new instruments under consideration to reduce Greek debt are the removal of the 150-basis-point interest above financing costs on 53 billion euros of bilateral government loans to Greece, and lengthening the maturity of the loans.
Greece may also borrow from the euro zone permanent bailout fund to buy back its privately held debt, of which there is 50-60 billion euros, taking advantage of the deep discount it traded at to save money on redemptions and interest payments.
The IMF has been pushing for governments to write off some of the official loans to Greece, but Germany, the European Commission and other officials have said it is not legally possible.
Time pressure for a deal on Greece is growing because Athens has to redeem 5 billion euros worth of treasury bills on November 16 and has been counting on cash from the next euro zone aid tranche to help cover that.
Since the money will not come in time, Greece wants to roll over the bills. The senior EU official said euro zone ministers were aware of the November 16 Greek redemption and that there would be no "accidental" default.
Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras said on Friday the country had no reason for worry.
"Greece is doing whatever it should be doing, and Europe is doing what it should be doing... and the tranche will (eventually) be released," he said. "On Monday, we are expecting a political statement."
