Five dollars each, handmade white satiny poofy lacy elaborate dresses exactly the size of a four-year-old (a tad long-ish on the two-year-old, but she cares not). One dress even has a little tag in the back that reads "Made for you with love by Grandma."
Were they flower girls dresses? Baptism dresses? Easter dresses? I surely hope that Grandma, who made them with love for some little girl just Willow's size, never knew that they got donated to the Salvation Army along with some other junk.
Grandma would be pleased, though, don't you think, to see the reception they're getting in our house:
Before I show you my favorite of Willow's photos from yesterday, I should ask you: You do know the whole purpose of photography, don't you? It isn't just to look, or to capture--it is to see. Seeing is something much different than merely looking, and it is why unobservant people generally take very poor photographs. To see something so truly that you can take a true and beautiful photograph of it--to do that you have to know what you're looking at, to understand it, to accept it, to love it. When you do that, then, with luck and skill, you can take a photograph that will help other people see this something, too.
I am, and this shouldn't surprise you, my friends, much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. I like to quietly see and capture, but I very rarely trust another person to see me, to know me well enough to capture a true photograph (if you want to hear a funny story about that particular little neurosis of mine, ask Matt to tell you about our wedding photographer--sheesh!).
It's stunned me, then, this week that I've daily put my fragile and expensive camera into the hands of my little girls (the lens still works with a few little scratches, right?). Because my girls, every day with my camera, they've shown me that they see. They've taken photos of their toys, their room, each other, and really captured their subjects, shown them true and beautiful through their young eyes. But most of all, my girls have shocked me by the many photos they've taken of me. Here, for instance, is my favorite of the photos Will took yesterday:
Those girls, they see me.

Hi Yuri
I noticed that in the KDevelop5 manual some occurences of the Input template has been replaced by the syntaxhighlight tag (see fx Kdevelop5/Manual/Meet_KDevelop). Does this work well with the wiki2docbook program or should we advice the author against using it in a documentation contex?
Hi Yuri After your last validation of https://userbase.kde.org/Konsole, I tried to translate in FR the new elements starting at '===Per Konsole tab Bash history ===' but I cannot save. I know I have met the same problem on Mediawiki () but generally submitting twice the EN modified page is sussisant. Here it doest not work. Cannot save nothing. See Maniphest T221119 : dummy update. Help
Yes. It is a known problem of the current version of the Translate extension. Please wait until the database will be updated (it seems we can do it only manually now). There is nothing I can do now. It is Carl's pet.
Meanwhile, you can translate something else. Sorry for this trouble.
Sorry for the trouble. :(
For now there is a script that will do this automatically, but will need to be restarted after each server restart and I created a sysadmin request to make it works after each restart.
ok works now. Thank you.
Hi Yuri
I am afraid I have made something of a mess out of your translation of Kdenlive/Manual/Effects And Transitions. All your translated text should be in place but the page displays nothing. I suggest we wait a couple of days to see if this is just fuzzybot playing up. I still have your original text so nothing is lost.
No need to worry. I will revise the translation by myself. Thanks anyway.
Everything is back to normal - your existing translations are back (I didn't touch your recent edits, of course). Silly mistake on my part - I simply forgot to close a brace matching comment.
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Users, Administrators, trusted, KDEDevelopers.
You can view and copy the source of this page.
Return to Thread:User talk:Yurchor/not resizable square to put translated text.
much better ! similar back to previous behaviour and extendable to the right on the complete screen. Thank you.
Hello Yurchor,
I started a few days ago an update to the wikis and you can try it at wikisandbox.kde.org. More details are available at https://phabricator.kde.org/T2442. Could you take a look and provide feedback?
Just a note: translations are impossible after the update. Any change cannot be saved wit an error message:
This namespace is reserved for content page translations. The page you are trying to edit does not seem to correspond any page marked for translation.
Thanks in advance for fixing this issue.
…за всю вашу українську документацію. Приходжу я, випадкова людина, читати про Kdenlive, а тут уже (майже) все є. Дякую
Hi Yuri, I ve open this subjet on Jucato's page. Do you have objections ?
Hi Youri,
do you agree that each FAQ translation of TechBase was being deleted ?
Dear ChristianW,
The KDE TechBase page Translations:Development/FAQs/General FAQ/55/fr has been deleted on 16 May 2019 by FuzzyBot, see https://techbase.kde.org/Translations:Development/FAQs/General_FAQ/55/fr.
.... and so on
Editor's su
Long story short: Yes.
Full-sized story:
KDE e. V. (or rather its Board of Directors) has decided to hire a professional documentation writer to improve our technical documentation. Now we should see what Jucato will do to reach his goal. That's all I can say.
All hopes not lost at all !
I read in phabricator, that there is a System Settings reorganization planed for Plasma 5.16, so I think that we should wait for 5.16 to be released, before we continue working on the system settings wiki pages (and relevant translation).
Hi Yuri,
I just saw that this wiki has more than 1000 unused images: https://userbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Special:UnusedFiles&limit=5000 That should we do about this? Delete them, or just ignore them?
I wanted to use https://userbase.kde.org/Special:ListFiles to track the remaining screenshots to update, but it's difficult to find old screenshots that are used somewhere.
I think it is safe to delete icons and screenshots for English locale. Localized screenshots with some low probability level can be reused. Do you need some help to do this?
I noticed you marked some of the pages I edited for translation. I'm new to this, but I remember reading new content was automatically marked. Is there something I can do to help you out, perhaps making it myself after editing and adding content, so that you don't have to?
Yes, the breaking into translation units and providing them to the translators is automatic. But somebody has to trigger the process for every translatable page. Moreover, there are things that should be taken into account when doing so (fine granularity of the messages, bracket balance, using consistent numbering of the units). It also needs some additional wiki permissions.
Do you really want to mark the pages for translation? ;)
Hi Yuri
Firef has added to the pages Okular and KDE Wallet Manager. The content seems ok (I have only looked at it superficially); however, he seems to have added translation unit tags manually. Can you confirm this?
Hi Yuri
We have a problem with the DocBook conversion program - it doesn't work currently. I have filed a ticket with the sysadmins (and added you as subscriber to that ticket). Hopefully the problem can be solve on the server side.
Hey, I am one of the Krita manual writers.
We are moving our manual to docs.krita.org, which is a mediawiki on kde servers. The benefit of this for us is that we have a bit more flexibility. We will of course be using the excellent translate extension.
Now, one of our translators is a bit confused about the relationship between Krita and KDE, being that Krita is part of KDE, and has put up the majority of our translation pages onto the 'ready for translation' todo, even though we told him not to.
I am not sure what is best now. We will not be updating the pages outside of 'our new docs are at docs.kde.org' on top of each page. And I wouldn't want to give you too much work, but at the same time, I also don't want to confuse you in regards to huge amount of pages that appear and dissapear suddenly from the 'ready for translation' todo.
The topic where this is discussed is here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=137&t=130557&p=349474 and I am online at #krita during european daylight.
What do you suggest?
I started to translate the page http://userbase.kde.org/Konversation/ru , please check correctness.
Here translate in .po file, idk, how to upload. http://anonymousdelivers.us/90982
Imported. Can you try to import by yourself (Special pages -> Import translations)?
O, thanks, now me know.
Hello again.
Please, translate this page, it your general distribution, right?
probably next Wednesday (July, 17th) an Ukrainian television crew (www.inter.ua) will visit my OpenPGP course / Cryptoparty (in Berlin, Germany). For obvious reasons there is currently a hype here in Germany about crypto and privacy tools in general and about Cryptoparties in particular. Thus several German television crews will be there, too. Of course, I do not know what exactly they are going to send but if you have finished some of my texts until then then they may mention them (maybe link them from their web page). If you give me your email address (send it to [email protected]) then I can offer them to contact you.
I'm working through the pages available in the Kdenlive Manual, and trying to comply with the page and section markup that helps docbook. I've come across this problem where the Index page shows "Kdenlive on other Desktops and Operating Systems" and it is currently linked to Kdenlive/Manual/KdenliveOnOtherPlatforms. Clearly if a change is needed, now is the time to do it, but I'm not too happy about very long page names. What would be your recommendation in a case like this?
In this case there will be enough to add the anchor

The general concern is that links should refer to Kdenlive/Manual/KdenliveOnOtherPlatforms#Kdenlive on other Desktops and Operating Systems
This method can be used to avoid renaming Amarok pages.
BTW can I just fix this (an everything else) at last and establish the sustainable process of further editing with the ability to generate DocBook any time?
I know Claus has been talking to you about various such concerns, and that he is building it into Draft:The KDE Documentation Primer. I'm picking up bits as I go along, and when your conversations are finished we should have the ability to generate DocBooks without too much effort - the aim is to have them at the point where they compile every time without needing extra work. Please carry on working with Claus on this, and meanwhile, make any changes you need. I'll learn the needs as quickly as I can
With today's update of the Translate extension, we have two new options in the "I want to" combibox -
Review all translated messages in... and Accept translations in.
These should be useful when you are checking on the work of new and relatively unknown translators. They are only available to translation Team Leaders, at least for now.
Regarding the latest edit of Amarok/Manual/AmarokWindow/PlaylistPane:
Could you please explain what the problem with the recent changes to the Amarok pags was. It is a problematic page, and we need to do something about the placing of images. Anne and I have been trying to make things look decent with little success. The latest attempt using a table is the only thing that has even come close to solving anything.
I agree, of course, that docbook conversion has top priority. Does that mean that we can't use tables for this kind of thing? Perhaps we simply need to force all images to be centered between sections? (That would make this page look very odd.) Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Sorry for not explaining this earlier.
The script is trying to build bijection between two markups. To be clear, the problems with your last edits are as follows
- Script assumes that each raw of the table begins with "| ". Adding <translation> tag gives the XML output "|
Message" That moves Message outside the table in the converted docbook
- KDE docbook commands subset does not have command to scale columns (although generic docbook does). This breaks the current parser (it thinks that "| width="75%" |" is the cell content).
-

 is not parsed at all (<para></para><para></para> just triggers the warning).
Surely these problems can be fixed by improving the script. Any help will be appreciated. Instructions can be found here.
P.S. Docbook syntax does not allow using images in captions to images. Please avoid using images templates in the captions. Thanks.
Thanks, this is helpful.
How does KDE docbook handle tables? Is it possible to give some hint of what the column width should be? Could we make, say, 4 colums and then merge 3 of the (an ugly kludge, off course, but if it works...). Or should we avoid tables all together?
Q: Is it possible to give some hint of what the column width should be? A: No, it will be chosen automatically to fit the width. Images will not be scaled down (will be shown as is (100%)).
Q: Could we make, say, 4 colums and then merge 3 of the (an ugly kludge, off course, but if it works...)? A: You could, but the script in its current form does not parse this. Just for the reference the code in docbook for
|Jumping around in code
|Quick open file: enter part of a filename and select among all the files in the current session's projects' directory trees that match the string; the file will then be opened
<informaltable> <tgroup cols="2"> <colspec colname="c1"/> <colspec colname="c2"/>
 <row> <entry namest="c1" nameend="c2">Jumping around in code</entry> </row>

 <row> <entry><keycombo>&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>O</keycap></keycombo></entry> <entry>Quick open file: enter part of a filename and select among all the files in the current session's projects' directory trees that match the string; the file will then be opened</entry> </row>
 </tgroup> </informaltable>
The problem is in smart parsing for the number of columns to be merged. I have to do it manually for KDevelop manual conversion.
Q: Or should we avoid tables all together? A: No. Generic tables are parsed well. Screenshot
The table width doesn't seem to be as big an issue as I thought. At least when the uploaded images have a sensible size, tables seem to adjust to them nicely.
I tried one more time to make a table to solve the problem, but in a test page User:Claus_chr/Test. Would this work? (apart from the
 problem - I havent found out what to do about that yet.)
Update: As a matter of fact I don't need the br tags at all - I just misread the wikimedia docs.
PS. Anne and I was wondering about your comment about images in captions. As far as we know there never was an image in any caption. What are we missing here?
Q: Would this work? A: No. See 1. Can you keep the pipe ("| ") in one unit with the rest of the cell? If you do, then modified script can give something like this.
P.S. I should concentrate on my report now. Can we discuss the rest later? Thanks for your answer.
I wasn't aware of that page at all until yesterday, when I was checking for subpages not translatable. I imagine that it was originally copied from TechBase, and probably by me. Pity I didn't realise that there was no value whatsoever, as I spent a lot of time preparing it :-) Anyway, it is now moved to the Archive namespace and removed from the Translate system. Thanks for the heads-up.

From ChocolateChip-UI to TruckJS
December 6, 2015
It all started with a simple DOM library for mobile use. I named it ChocolateChip, because I liked chocolate a lot and because if was really small.
On this blog, one post after another, I created prototypes of how to replicate iOS with markup, CSS and some JavaScript. After many posts I had the makings of a framework. These were all random, so I needed to bundle it all together. ChocolateChip was the glue, so I named the framework ChocolateChip-UI. That was six years ago.
As time passed, ChocolateChip-UI grew to accommodate new layouts, widgets and support for Android and Windows Phone, and could switch out to use jQuery. And then we made jQuery the default. So many changes…
Recently I was thinking about where to take ChocolateChip-UI. It seemed like it had everything it needed. I went and got some specialty chocolates and some good coffee and sat down to brood. I thought about the difference between Backbone and Angular. Backbone at least had models, where as Angular does not. Because of that, Angular has to run constant polls to compare the state of the raw JavaScript objects. The more you use Angular's data binding, the more polls you have going and everything starts slowing down, especially on mobile.
In a system with models, it's the model's responsibility to inform the system when its data is modified. The system does not need to be running polls to observe the model. It should provide encapsulation and abstraction, protecting data from accidental modification by the system/developer. And so, I began tinkering until I had a model. I created some uses for it, fine tuned it, added some more features, etc. It was an object factory that returned a new model instance without having to use the "new" keyword.
I was pretty happy that ChocolateChip-UI would now have a model, but that got me to thinking – maybe ChocolateChip-UI could use a controller module too. So I looked at how the competition was dealing with controller behavior. And, in the end, I decided to take a completely different approach. I was creating a framework for mobile apps. These have unique challenges because they are mobile. So decided to base this work around the concept of mediators. These sit in the middle of an app's interactions, like this image:
I used ChocolateChip-UI pubsub methods as the basis for my mediator module. But mediators have a number of unique features. You can control how many times a mediator can run or when it can run. Then I went back to my model code and updated it so that a model would automatically notify the mediator layer that it had changed. Like the model, this was also an object factory reusing the same pattern.
So now I had a model-controller for ChocolateChip-UI. I had always thought of ChocolateChip-UI as just a view. But it was a very passive and disconnected view because it had nothing built into it to enable working with other MVC frameworks. This meant that to use these required various workaround. It was not optimal, but it worked. I started thinking that maybe I could create a view module in the same way that I had create the model and controller modules. My idea was to enable a more component like pattern. I popped out the template parser from ChocolateChip-UI and put it into a new object factory. The object that this created knew about an element that it was associated with. This would be the container for any template rendering. It would automatically parse the element's child nodes to extract a template. Or you could define a template in the view's initializer. And you could define events in the view. And finally, you could bind a view to a model.
In the background the code would generate a mediator that would listen for any changes to the bound model. When a change would occur, it would update the rendered view.
So, I now had a model view controller framework. They had no dependency on ChocolateChip-UI. At the moment they were running on top of jQuery. While I was creating these modules, I kept comparing functions to mechanical ones. So, when I was done I realized I had something totally different from ChocolateChip-UI. It was time for a name change. I thought about vehicle names, but in the end I settled on TruckJS because trucks are powerful, they can carry heavy loads. You can count on trucks.
I then though I'd give a shot at rewriting ChocolateChip using the new patterns I used for TruckJS. But I was going to do one important thing. The new DOM library would be identical in API to jQuery so developers wouldn't have to learn anything new to use it. In the end I had a DOM library less than half the size of jQuery with 90% of the functionality. But instead of the old Ajax syntax, I used the new Fetch API for remove server interaction. And instead of jQuery's deferred object implementation, I went with the ECMAScript 6 Promises API. Fetch uses ES6 promises, so this was a perfect fit.
Then I though about routing, so I built a router. Then I added in data formatting and form validation. After that I began porting the widgets over. I wound up rewriting every single widget, changing their behavior to return objects and enabling the form-based widget to work with the new form validation.
TruckJS is a standalone framework without any dependency on other libraries or frameworks. You do not need jQuery, etc. It provides everything you need to build mobile web apps. But, if you really want to use jQuery with Truck, you can. You just have to load jQuery first. When Truck detects jQuery, it switches to using it instead of its own DOM library. I'm not sure why anyone would want to use jQuery. Its bulky and slow on mobile devices. But there's always those special guys who think something can't be perfect unless jQuery is loaded.
I've put up a site, TruckJS.io, with lots of documentation. And it's available on Github. If you like ChocolateChip-UI, I think you're really going to like TruckJS. It gives you the same tradition of great layouts and widgets for creating cross platform mobile web apps.

Author Bio
• Birth—July 1, 1955
• Where—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
• Education—B.A., J.D., University of Pennsylvania
• Awards—Edgar Award
• Currently—lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Lisa Scottoline is the New York Times bestselling author and Edgar award-winning author of some two dozen novels and several nonfiction books. She also writes a weekly column with her daughter Francesca Serritella for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled "Chick Wit" which is a witty and fun take on life from a woman's perspective.
These stories, along with many other never-before-published stories, have been collected in four books including their most recent, Have a Nice Guilt Trip, and the earlier, Meet Me at Emotional Baggage Claim, Best Friends, Occasional Enemies, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog, which has been optioned for TV, and My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space.
Lisa reviews popular fiction and non-fiction, and her reviews have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post and Philadelphia Inquirer. Lisa has served as President of Mystery Writers of America and has taught a course she developed, "Justice and Fiction" at The University of Pennsylvania Law School, her alma mater.
Lisa is a regular and much sought after speaker at library and corporate events. Lisa has over 30 million copies of her books in print and is published in over 35 countries. She lives in the Philadelphia area with an array of disobedient pets, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Lisa's books have landed on all the major bestseller lists including the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publisher's Weekly, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, and Look Again was named "One of the Best Novels of the Year" by the Washington Post, and one of the best books in the world as part of World Book Night 2013.
Lisa's novels are known for their emotionality and their warm and down-to-earth characters, which resonate with readers and reviewers long after they have finished the books. When writing about Lisa's Rosato & Associates series, Janet Maslin of the New York Times applauds Lisa's books as "punchy, wisecracking thrillers" whose "characters are earthy, fun and self-deprecating" and distinguishes her as having "one of the best-branded franchise styles in current crime writing."
Lisa's contributions through her writing has been recognized by organizations throughout the country. She is the recipient of the Edgar Award, the Mystery Writer's of America most prestigious honor, the Fun, Fearless, Fiction Award by Cosmopolitan Magazine, and named a PW Innovator by Publisher's Weekly.
Lisa was honored with AudioFile's Earphones Award and named Voice of the Year for her recording of her non-fiction book, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog. The follow up collection, My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space has garnered both Lisa and her daughter, Francesca, an Earphones Award as well. In addition, she has been honored with a Distinguished Author Award from Scranton University, and a "Paving the Way" award from the University of Pennsylvania, Women in Business.
Lisa's accomplishments all pale in comparison to what she considers her greatest achievement, raising, as a single mom, her beautiful (a completely unbiased opinion) daughter, an honors graduate of Harvard, author, and columnist, who is currently working on her first novel.
Lisa believes in writing what you know, and she puts so much of herself into her books. What you may or may not learn about Lisa from her books is that...
♦ she is an incredibly generous person
♦ an engaging and entertaining speaker
♦ a die-hard Eagles fan
♦ a good cook.
♦ She loves the color pink, her Ipod has everything from U2 to Sinatra to 50 Cent, she is proud to be an American, and nothing makes her happier than spending time with her daughter.
Lisa is also a softie when it comes to her furry family. Nothing can turn Lisa from a professional, career-minded author, to a mushy, sweet-talking, ball-throwing woman like her beloved dogs. Although she has owned and loves various dog breeds, including her amazing goldens, she has gone crazy for her collection of King Charles Spaniels.
Lisa first fell in love with the breed when Francesca added her Blehneim Cavalier, Pip, to the mix. This prompted Lisa to get her own, and she started with the adorable, if not anatomically correct (Lisa wrote a "Chick Wit" column about this), Little Tony, her first male dog. Little Tony is a black and tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
But Lisa couldn't stop at just one and soon added her little Peach, a Blehneim King Charles Cavalier. Lisa is now beyond thrilled to be raising Peach's puppies, Daniel Boone and Kit Carson, and for daily puppy pictures, be sure to follow Lisa on Facebook or Twitter. Herding together the entire pack is Lisa's spunky spit-fire of a Corgi named Ruby. The solitude of writing isn't very quiet with her furry family, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
Not to be outshined by their canine counterparts, Lisa's cats, Vivi and Mimi, are the princesses of the house, and have no problem keeping the rest of the brood in line. Vivi is a grey and white beauty and is more aloof than her cuddly, black and white partner, Mimi. When Lisa's friend and neighbor passed, Lisa adopted his beloved cat, Spunky, a content and beautiful ball of fur.
Lisa loves the coziness of her farmhouse, and no farm is complete without chickens. Lisa has recently added a chicken coop and has populated it with chicks of different types, and is overjoyed with each and every colorful egg they produce. Watching over Lisa's chicks are her horses, which gladly welcomed the chicks and all the new excitement they bring. (Author bio adapted from the author's website.)

Most guys have a type. Whether it's blond or brunette, petite or curvy, sporty or sophisticated, men go after their type, swoop in, and hope to score.
Granted, for some guys, their type is pretty much any woman who will actually have a conversation with them. But that's an article for another day...
The thing is, guys are pretty clear about the kind of woman they want to date, but at some point they'll meet "the one." She may not even be their usual type at first, which could actually be the cause for the insatiable fascination and infatuation.
And just as women have ways to tell he's husband material, guys can do the same in choosing someone to marry. So here are 14 ways to tell she's wife material.
- She doesn't smother you. She knows you have friends and need your "guy time." What's more, she happy that you go out and have fun with your buds.
- Girls just wanna have fun. She's able to let her hair down and just have a good time. But...
- ...she's also responsible. She's not a non-stop party girl.
- She's a great cook and enjoys it. There's a lot of truth behind that whole "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" line.
- She puts up with your crap. Guys do a lot of stupid things. Apparently it's in our genes. (Or is that jeans?) Rather than just bail or call it quits, she tolerates some of the more idiotic things you do. But then again...
- She's not a door mat. She may let you get away with something once or twice, but she'll most definitely let you know she's not happy about it.
- She's self-confident. Nothing, as in nothing, is sexier on a woman than self-confidence. Which reminds me of another good point.
- She's sexy. Hey, guys are 95 percent visual creatures, so if just looking at your huge... tracts of land helps him stand at attention, that's a good thing.
- She'll watch Die Hard with you. Granted, you'll probably have to suck it up and see some Renee Zellweger flick, but compromise is the strongest pillar in any marriage.
- She's good with money. Good at making money is even better, but it's great if she can keep her eye on the checkbook and make educated purchasing decisions. Somebody has too, right?
- She has a sense of humor. Whether she's cracking jokes or laughing it up at yours, she definitely knows that, as Oscar Wilde put it, "Life is too important to be taken seriously."
- She puts Florence Nightingale to shame. When you're home sick, she'll race over with a container of chicken soup. She'll cover you with blankets, prop your head up with pillows, and rent your favorite movies. She'll do everything she can to nurse you back to health.
- She has goals. Doesn't matter if it's career goals, life goals, or wanting to climb Mount Everest, she has dreams and isn't afraid to go after them.
- She makes you a better person. She makes you want to do more, be more. When you're with her, you really work at becoming a better man all around.
What do you think makes a woman wife material?

Disney has released a never-before-seen deleted clip from our beloved Wreck-It Ralph showing the Video Game Prison. Complete with a sweet-talking regular with slick promises of unattainable video games for Ralph to start over in, as well as beer, babes and bikinis (clearly a send-up to all the scantily clad beach volleyball video games out there). We can see why they cut this moment (besides the obvious "beer marketing to children" thing) but had they included this twist, you would have needed to tack on a whole lot more to this movie, specifically with Fix-It Felix Jr. Either way, we love seeing more parts to this world, even in storyboard form.

UPDATE: Continued Presence of NYT's 'Wall Street Psychopaths' Op-ed Becomes Totally Indefensible
Last night (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted the total inadequacy of a correction the New York Times made to a notorious William Deresiewicz op-ed ("Fables of Wealth") published on May 12. Deresiewicz originally claimed that "A recent study found that 10 percent of people who work on Wall Street are 'clinical psychopaths' … (The proportion at large is 1 percent.)." The study he cited was really of 203 management trainees, the proportion of supposed psychopaths found was 4%, and the study's authors said that generalizing the results in any way to the overall population should not be done. As I asserted, the Times should long ago have pulled the op-ed instead of trying to cure something which is incurable.
Well, it turns out that Deresiewicz completely blew it in interpreting the rest of the alleged foundation of his op-ed, namely English writer Bernard Mandeville's "The Fable of the Bees," leaving the author utterly without any support for his anticapitalist and anticapitalism screed. At his Chequerboard.org blog (HT John Hinderaker at Powerline), Pejman Yousefzadeh performed the clinical dismemberment:
Deresiewicz … also managed to make Bernard Mandeville, author of The Fable of the Bees … sound as though he was some kind of sworn enemy of capitalism. The truth is … different. As anyone who bothers to consult Wikipedia would know:
… Mandeville believed it was vicious greed which led to invisible cooperation if properly channelled. Mandeville's qualification of proper channelling further parts his philosophy from (Adam) Smith's laissez-faire attitude. Essentially, Mandeville called for politicians to ensure that the passions of man would result in a public benefit. It was his stated belief in the Fable of the Bees that "Private Vices by the dextrous Management of a skilful Politician may be turned into Publick Benefits".
… He believed that certain vices would bring about progress, and that a society "blest with content and honesty" would stagnate, and might even regress.
Without getting into a dissertation, there is something to Mandeville's idea, given the fact that vices exist and that they can never be fully tamed in all people.
Yousefzadeh goes on to show how Deresiewicz totally blew it in his interpretation. Here's what Deresiewicz claimed about Mandeville:
Mandeville argued that commercial society creates prosperity by harnessing our natural impulses: fraud, luxury and pride. By "pride" Mandeville meant vanity; by "luxury" he meant the desire for sensuous indulgence. These create demand, as every ad man knows. On the supply side, as we'd say, was fraud: "All Trades and Places knew some Cheat, / No Calling was without Deceit."
In other words, Enron, BP, Goldman, Philip Morris, G.E., Merck, etc., etc. Accounting fraud, tax evasion, toxic dumping, product safety violations, bid rigging, overbilling, perjury. The Walmart bribery scandal, the News Corp. hacking scandal — just open up the business section on an average day. Shafting your workers, hurting your customers, destroying the land. Leaving the public to pick up the tab. These aren't anomalies; this is how the system works: you get away with what you can and try to weasel out when you get caught.
Yousefzadeh takes over (bold is mine):
… again, Deresiewicz utterly and completely fails to note that Mandeville considered vice "a necessary condition for economic prosperity," and believed that an honest society would be one that fell back, rather than one that progressed. This is not the same as saying that "capitalism is predicated on bad behavior." It is the same as saying, however, that without the presences of certain "vices," society would not advance all that much, and that greed can be properly channeled in order to bring about that advancement and prosperity Mandeville wrote about.
Obviously, I am not writing this post to extol the virtues of fraud, or to say that we ought to have more of it. I am writing it, however, because Deresiewicz sought to portray Mandeville as some kind of critic of capitalist society, when in fact, Mandeville was anything but.
Thus, to relatively briefly run down the entire sordid affair:
- The New York Times published an op-ed whose author cited nothing with foundational validity. Instead, he took an Internet-distorted rendition of a study as gospel without investigating it, and erroneously cited an author who was a "greed can be good if properly channeled" (i.e., properly managed within a framework of reasonable laws and regulations) proponent as someone who was rabidly anticapitalist.
- Eight days after the op-ed's appearance, the Times published a "correction" which failed to adequately address the first incurable problem and did absolutely nothing about the second.
- In the meantime, as noted at the Media Research Center's TimesWatch outpost, the op-ed became "the paper's second-most read and e-mailed story (behind a more substantive Times magazine cover story on diagnosing children as psychopaths), as liberal readers ironically used tools honed and perfected by capitalists to spread a tale — published by a capitalist organization, the New York Times Company, with revenues of $2.3 billion in 2011 — of the utter wickedness of capitalists."
- As a result, as I noted yesterday concerning the "psychopath" study, "untold hordes of readers and email recipients now believe a lie, thanks to William Deresiewicz and the Times, which knows it's a lie and doesn't seem the least bit sorry about having spread it."
- Additionally, as explained here, many of those same readers and email recipients believe that Bernard Mandeville was a staunch anticapitalist, when, as Yousefzadeh explained, he "was anything but."
Now that Deresiewicz's op-ed has been shown to be totally indefensible, the Times comes out of all of this looking for all practical purposes like a dedicated propaganda mill with zero integrity, and apparently proud of itself for what it has done — namely, as I asserted yesterday, causing "serious damage to rational public discussion."

Temari: Large, Medium and Unusually Small
August 27, 2012
Pictured here is a fairly grand group of old temari, a temari being hand-wound ball made from leftover threads which was made as a gift for a child. By a "grand group" I mean that these old temari are getting harder and harder to find, and seeing so many older ones of such good quality and condition together at once–from grapefruit-sized to grape-sized–is a real treat. For me, at least.Of course the apple on the top photo is there for scale, otherwise you'd have no idea that the two temari pictured above, are so large. The larger of the two measures 5″ or 12.5 cm in diameter.The three temari pictured above are roughly 3″ or 7.5 cm in diameter; the temari on the right is made of a cotton core and blue and red yarns of silk floss. This one also has a bit of a rattling sound, which is due to rice grains placed in the center of the ball. This rattle feature was, of course, meant to entertain the child who was gifted this magical thing. The other two temari are made entirely of cotton and they don't rattle.These temari, above, are tiny, and each group is stitched together to form a cluster. Each of the temari on the cluster on the lower right measures 3/4″ or 1.75 cm in diameter.
I think these temari date to the 1920s, 30s or thereabouts. Remarkably, they are in excellent condition, and with the exception of a bit of patina from age, all the threads are intact and there is no staining or discoloration.
Really delightful. And a real find.

NFL players with concussions now sidelined longer
NFL players with concussions now stay away from the game significantly longer than they did in the late 1990s and early 2000s, according to research in Sports Health. The mean days lost with concussion increased from 1.92 days during 1996-2001 to 4.73 days during 2002-2007.
In an effort to discover whether concussion injury occurrence and treatment had changed, researchers compared those two consecutive six-year periods to determine the circumstances of the injury, the patterns of symptoms, and a player's time lost from NFL participation. Those time periods were chosen because concussion statistics were recorded by NFL teams using the same standardized form. It recorded player position, type of play, concussion signs and symptoms, loss of consciousness and medical action taken.
Researchers found that in 2002-2007 there were fewer documented concussions per NFL game overall, especially among quarterbacks and wide receivers. But there was a significant increase in concussions among tight ends. Symptoms most frequently reported included headaches, dizziness, and problems with information processing and recall.
Significantly fewer concussed players returned to the same game in 2002-2007 than in 1996-2001 and 8% fewer players returned to play in less than a week. That number jumped to 25% for those players who lost consciousness as a result of the injury.
"There are a number of possible explanations for the decrease in percentages of players returning to play immediately and returning to play on the day of the injury as well as the increased days out after (a concussion) during the recent six year period compared to the first six year period," write authors Ira R. Casson, M.D.; David C. Viano, Dr. med.; Ph.D., John W. Powell, Ph.D.; and Elliot J. Pellman, M.D. "These include the possibility of increased concussion severity, increased player willingness to report symptoms to medical staff, adoption of a more cautious conservative approach to concussion management by team medical personnel and a possible effect of changes in neuropsychological (NP) testing."

Ryan Kwanten Gossip
Ryan Kwanten gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Countdown to TB4
True Blood's Main 3 were all present last night at the show's fourth season premiere. Check out Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, and Alexander Skarsgard on the carpet alongside almost the entire TB cast as HBO gets ready for one of its marquee shows, and one of its strongest performers. Also attached – photos of the lovely Rutina Wesley who needs, desperately, for the writers to give her a better storyline; Sam Trammell and his pregnant girlfriend Missy Yager; Ryan Kwanten and Lindsay Pulsifer, one of my True Blood bright spots because, clearly, you've never met a more incompetent couple; the badass Nelsan Ellis whose witch and Jesus storyline will feature prominently; and the lovely Kristin Bauer whose chemistry with Skarsgard's Eric is maybe the best on the show. Full Story
Here come the Stackhouses
True Blood Season 4 premieres on HBO and HBO Canada on June 26th at 9pm. Here are Anna Paquin and Ryan Kwanten in LA yesterday heading to set. Good to see that Jason Stackhouse's uniform still consists of a beater tank. Anyway, have you seen the trailer yet? It's below, full of clues about what to expect this year. Full Story
Do you miss True Blood?
The cast of True Blood was featured at PaleyFest 2011 the other day with details, sort of, about what to expect next season. If you've been joining the TV LiveBlog with Duana on Thursdays, you'll note my comment last week about True Blood – that I watch while it's on, but that once it's over, I actually don't miss it. Full Story
Like it or not?
Ryan Kwanten was working a new look last night at the 3rd annual Women in Film event. Hair smoothed down and glasses, still a little sweaty in the face but kind of adorable all the same. Or not? It's maybe not my favourite but I prefer this over what we've seen from him before: open shirts and douchey looking necklaces, Vegas skeeze styles. Full Story
True Blood Pacific
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced another miniseries. The Pacific is a 10 part war epic that will air on HBO beginning March 14. To add star power to the event, HBO trotted out its True Blood stars: Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Deborah Ann Woll, Ryan Kwanten, and Alexander Skarsgard who looks like he's had the hot sucked out of him by that starving twat Kate Bosworth. Full Story
She pounced
Alexander Skarsgard returned to LA yesterday and attended the GQ Men of the Year at the Chateau Marmont. Major moisting, right? Unfortunately Alex was immediately hunted down by Kate Bosworth. She needs a friend right now especially since she's been widely exposed as a homewrecker. Having said that, Kate B loves using relationship woes for Alex's attention. Full Story
Stackhouse on hiatus
I will be happy to see Jacek when I get home tomorrow. More happy to see Marcus. And the first thing I'll do is watch True Blood. That is if Jacek is willing to give up the tv. This a glorious time of year for us. EA Sports NHL 2010 has just been released. This means he will play it obsessively for two weeks and we won't have to talk to each other. Full Story
Jason Stackhouse, you clean up NICE
JEYE-son. That's how they say it. JEYE-son…what the hale were you thankin'? Love True Blood SO much. It's so bad it's good. Deliciously campy. And lines like these, from this week's episode:It's the way ah was raised up. And Nordic sex gods like Alexander Skarsgard. Full Story

I am trying to write a program, using methods, that generates a random number larger then the sum a super-increasing set of 7 numbers (each sequential number is larger then the sum of all the previous), and then creates a random integer that's coprime with this number. I have the code so it will print the 7 increasing numbers as well as the random number larger then their total sum, but I'm having trouble creating the coprime number. This is my first time working with methods, so there's probably a really simple answer that I'm just overlooking.
The part of code, the p % 2==0 part in particular:
is written so that if the random number generated is evenly divisible by 2, the loop with break and restart. However, I am still getting even digits when the program is run. Sometimes, it doesn't even print the integer at all.if(big % p ==0 && p % 2 ==0){ isCoPrime=false; break; }
I'm aiming to make it so that if the sum is divisible by the random number or if the random number is divisible by 2, it will run the loop again. However, I feel like if either of these are true, it just ends the loop and doesn't repeat it.
I've tried tons of different logistical sequences, but none of them end up correctly If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
public static void main(String[] args) { int sum = printSuperIncreasingSet(); System.out.println(); int big = generateRandomBiggerThan(sum); int p = generateCoPrimeof(big); } public static int printSuperIncreasingSet(){ int x = 0; int sum= 0; int l=0; for(x=0;x<7;x++){ Random sevenrandomdigits=new Random(); int i=sevenrandomdigits.nextInt(50)+1; l=sum*2; sum=l+i; System.out.print((sum) + " "); } return sum; } public static int generateRandomBiggerThan(int sum){ int big=0; Random biggerDigit = new Random(); int a=biggerDigit.nextInt(51); big=sum+a; System.out.println(big+=sum); return big; } public static int generateCoPrimeof(int big){ int r=0; boolean isCoPrime = true; for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++){ Random randomcoprime = new Random(); int p=randomcoprime.nextInt(100)+1; if(big % p ==0 && p % 2 ==0){ isCoPrime=false; break; } } if ( isCoPrime){ System.out.println(p); } return p; } }

Toujeo Prices, Discount Comparisons & Savings Options
Toujeo 300 ML discount prices start at . Before you buy toujeo, compare the lowest discounted toujeo prices at U.S. Pharmacies.
There are currently no PharmacyChecker-verified pharmacies shipping refrigerated products internationally to patients in the U.S. We hope Canadian pharmacies will supply refrigerated medications, such as insulin, to U.S. customers with a valid prescription in the near future.
toujeo 300 ML is a temperature-sensitive medication and requires cold chain management during shipment. To best guarantee safe shipment, pharmacies in the PharmacyChecker Verification Program must ensure that shipments of toujeo 300 ML are not exposed to temperatures below 2 degrees or above 8 degrees Celsius. That requires very fast delivery times. Unfortunately, it is not clear whether major private mail couriers with the capability for overnight delivery, such as Federal Express and UPS, will ship insulin and other medical products from pharmacies in Canada to people in the U.S. Allowing Canadian pharmacies to do so would enable them to meet PharmacyChecker's standard for shipping products, such as insulin.
For more information, please see our policy outline: PharmacyChecker Verification Program Policies.

In Home Hair Stylist in South Africa before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Beauty Salon is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
The Role of a Mobile Hairdresser
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Local Mobile Hairdresser hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Portable Hair Salon Stations For Mobile Hairdressers
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
In Home Hair Stylist in South Africa ?
There are a variety of methods used to start dreadlocks. The method and size selected mostly depends on the texture and length of the hair. Other variables that affect the lock starting technique include hair's thickness, fullness, and versatility desired. The methods discussed in the article give you insight into the most popular methods used and what works best on various hair lengths and textures. The methods discussed include: two-strand twist, three-strand twist, comb coil twist, palm rolling, latch stitching, and individual braids.
In the palm rolling method, the hair is sectioned and rolled between the palms. This is usually achieved on hair that is longer than 2 inches. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to lock. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. Alternatively, the new growth can be groomed using the interlocking or latch hook method discussed below.
The comb coils is a method where the hair is sectioned and is twisted into coils using a (rat tail) comb or by hand. This is usually achieved on shorter hair. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to dread. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. When hair starts to lock, it will begin to not look like comb coils and may start to get fuzzy or begin to poof. However, this is not a cause to create worry because it is all apart of the dreading process.
The last method we will discuss is back combing. Back combing is a common method on hair that is a straighter, less kinky texture. Back combing (also known as "teasing" or "ratting") means repeatedly combing the hair towards the scalp, causing the hair to tangle. For best results, the hair should be at least shoulder length. With this method, the hair cannot be washed until it starts to lock. Because of the straighter texture, it may take 4-6 months for the hair to start to lock. During this time, the hair should NOT get wet. Some type of product, like wax or honey, is usually added to the hair to help facilitate the locking of the hair.
No matter the method you choose to start your locks, understand the commitment you are taking by locking you hair. Happy Locking!

The once sleepy fishing village of Kuta was discovered in the 1960s due to the sweeping, sandy beach, which is renowned for its world class surf breaks. Years of unplanned development turned it into a jumble of closely-packed pubs, raucous nightclubs, tacky restaurants, souvenir shops, juice bars, money changers, beauty parlours, surf emporiums, second-hand bookstores and budget hotels.
However, a shift in strategy, new guidelines and planning, means that a gentle renaissance is now taking place and Kuta is slowly maturing. Immediately north of Kuta lies the neighbourhood of Legian, which was initially developed as an upmarket alternative to Kuta. Today, however, these two beachside villages have merged together and the similarities, such as the cheap and cheerful eateries, pubs, souvenir shops and market stalls, make it hard to distinguish the boundaries.

Jman057 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 147 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
A couple of New Zealand friends are getting together to provide Kiwi's (New Zealanders) with a website where they can rate and review various products, and we need a logo. We want to create an environment that is friendly and promotes conversation.
Our market is everyday New Zealanders, particularly consumers. People who are looking to buy a product and want to read honest reviews first, and people who want to give their opinion on products.
* No colour requirements, but try and keep it fun and bright. Bold colours will probably work best, but feel free to mix it up.
* We may use your colour & font theme for the website and other purposes, so please provide your colours and fonts with the design
* The website will most likely have a white background, so please provide your designs on a white background
* A good font design is essential, and a little logo to go with it is preferred. A logo should reflect the rating concept (e.g. 5 stars, a single rating star). If you use stars, try and keep in mind the typical "rating star". Something that looks "designed" would be good (I.e. not plain).
* Try and keep it fun, but avoid childish (a nice balance between professional and fun would be great!)
* We are considering the by-line "love-it, hate-it, rate-it". Another optional extra, but don't let it spoil a good simple design
* A version with a lower-case "r" would be great also.
*.co.nz not necessary on logo
Use your imagination and we look forward to seeing your designs!! :)

3 posts • Page 1 of 1
So, I adopted a puppy (black lab/pit) today..as they were taking their puppies to a kill shelter. I know I haven't been real active lately, but my Violet just didn't work out. This puppy is 4 months...has had all shots, wormed, and flea preventative. I just literally got her home. She's a dollface and is so sweet! I plan to set up a vet apt in the next couple days but for tonight I have a question...she's been eating and pottying fine...but I noticed when shes resting....she's panting really fast...with all the dogs I've ever had...I've never noticed this with any of them. She's had plenty of water, I even took her on a walk today...so...I'm a bit lost and wondering if I should set apt for sooner than later...probably tomorrow I'm guessing? Any suggestions? Nerves maybe from going to new home? I know the people were feeding regular puppy chow they said they got at walmart bc they couldnt afford much...her farts SMELL! I have premium edge at my home for her....I'm just confused on the very fast panting breathing....during sleep. Any clue?

Re: Lost
What do you mean Violet "didn't work out?"
As for the pup, given the sketchy circumstances from which you got her, a vet visit sooner rather than later is definitely warranted.

NEW RELEASE: Ember Music Chain Album
We are very happy to announce the release of the Ember Music Chain Album. The album is available now via Bandcamp !
This album started with an idea. Give an artist some random samples to use in an original track. Samples are then taken from the first track and given to the second artist to use. Samples from the second track are given to the third artist… on and on down the chain. The artists were not told whose samples they received nor to whom their samples would go. The artists were also sent an image as inspiration.
The results are quite astounding.
Tracks composed, performed and mixed by the respective artists.
Mastered by Bill Bendrot.
Album art/design by Kurt Lorenz.
Chain album logo concept by Scott Brown.
Album concept by Daniel J. Davis.
Release date: 14 April 2014

Historic Fort Logan celebrates construction of 1889 officers quarters
In 1887, the site of a new United States Army Post was selected near Denver, a city with railroads and transportation advantages. It was named Fort Logan, after John Alexander Logan, a U.S. Senator from Illinois who introduced legislation establishing the fort. He was also a general in the Union Army during the Civil War and is credited with establishing Decoration Day on May 30. We now know it as Memorial Day, a national holiday of remembrance.
Today, many historic buildings remain. The Field Officer's Quarters, shown above in 1961, is the earliest building, constructed in 1889. Located at 3742 West Princeton Circle, the house is owned by the State of Colorado and maintained by the Friends of Historic Fort Logan, a non-profit organization dedicated to historic preservation and education.
The Field Officer's Quarters was designed by architect Frank J. Grodavent and sited next to the 32-acre parade ground. The building was designed with six bedrooms and intended for occupation by a major or higher-grade officer and his family and servants. In 1990, the Denver City Council designated the building a historic landmark. It is also listed on the State Register of Historic Properties. Today, it houses a museum maintained by the Friends.
The Fort Logan National Cemetery was formed in 1950, taking in the original area of the Army cemetery first established in 1889. Each Memorial Day, it is the scene of memorial services with a flag placed on every grave.
Historic Fort Logan Turns 125 years old
The Friends of Historic Fort Logan hope to bring awareness to the campus and to preserve the history of the Field Officer's Quarters and all other historic buildings on Princeton Circle.
On Saturday, July 19, there is an open house at the museum from 1-4 p.m. with free admission.
3742 West Princeton Circle, Denver, Colorado 80236.

Gallery of models built with kits by A&N Model Trucks. Please, send us your pictures!
"In the middle of nowhere – in Russia" with a KAMAZ . Maybe 6 years ago, we faked a photo with my body. As I've seen the Kamaz at Heinz-shop (MMS) – that's it ! Paris/Dakar! Everybody say – no! Those day we are sitting in a beer-garden and had an "special model building meeting" ;-). One of the guy announced – maybe some of the modeler in eastern Europe will build it! OK! I tell the friends – now I designed myself like the faked photo. Laughter!!! An old Italeri frame and crane, KFS wheels and front axle, from A&N the cab and bumper, Styropor, colours and glue. The story from the diorama: The KAMAZ is slipped on a slope, the thawed ground and as a result of the load the truck got caught. A reporter, who was sitting in the truck, sized the initiative and made the ultimative record. To got the Kamaz afloat, I had act as an towing service. The pictures are transmitted via radio, to the right, on a woodenbox – projector. Which projected on the screen. Why must model construction be always only high technical? It' s also a funny.

Pre settlement is the time of time after which a case hosts been conveyed by annoyed gathering and going before the execution of the settlement comprehension, verdict or judgment. The time of time all around which a real case is pending and questionable. A Pre settlement credit is truly an advance against future claims settlement. With Global Financial, an advance could be issued against your case to help you with expenses, secure a movement vehicle or help spread helpful uses while you suspect settlement. There is no credit check or wage affirmation. The technique is clear and all we ask is to chat with your attorney to affirm the facts of your case. Best of all, if your case is lost... you owe us nothing.
Bothered social affairs who wind up fused in credible peculiar hurt cases are generally considered gazing vacantly at nothing in particular, monetarily talking. To add ill-use to mischief, they are as often as possible tormented with a novel fusion of cash identified tests that avoid them from picking up any kind of fiscal help through reliable channels, case in point, banks, credit unions and other giving cooperations. These "phenomenal money distinguished tests" can join repulsive credit, charge liens, supportive liens, no range assurance, no month to month pay, unemployed, constant inadequacies that need them from getting work and a weakness to make run of the mill month to month improvement divides.
Pr esettlement financing offers different purposes of venture. As a matter of first vitality, you don't need to pay any charges to get the cash. Rather, most arraignment store companionships finalize up a "No Cost Unless You Win" foundation, which derives that you won't need to pay anything back tolerating that you don't win your case.

West Brom have thrown their support behind coach Pepe Mel following recent speculation over his future.
Albion are winless since the Spaniard succeeded Steve Clarke at the Hawthorns and lie just a point above the Barclays Premier League's relegation zone.
That has led to meetings behind the scenes but the club stressed a change at the top is not on the agenda.
Sporting and technical director Richard Garlick said in a statement on the club's website: "At present, we are going through a period of transition, which is natural following the appointment of a new head coach.
"There is also a lot of frustration at our league position and run of form. I would be more concerned if there wasn't.
"Various meetings have been held within the football department over the past few days to discuss our current situation and what needs to be done to improve results in our final 11 games.
"The discussions have proved constructive. There has been a lot of soul-searching and it is clear everyone has a real hunger and desire to keep the club in the Premier League.
"Pepe, the coaching staff and players will now do everything in their power to achieve this common goal."
Matej Vydra's fortuitous late equaliser earned the Baggies a point against Fulham on Saturday, their fourth 1-1 scoreline in Mel's six games in charge.
The previous three came against Everton, Liverpool and, most impressively, Chelsea, but defeats to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have dented their momentum.
Albion conceded seven goals in those two games and have not kept a clean sheet since New Year's Day, when they beat Newcastle 1-0 - also their last win.
Their next game is on March 8 at home to Manchester United - whose manager David Moyes has also been the subject of speculation over his job security.
They then travel to Swansea and Hull before facing two more teams in the wide-ranging fight for top-flight survival, Cardiff and Norwich.

If you don't subscribe to the Ninja Mountain Podcast, then you are a hating hater...but we'll not judge you. ;)
We shall hear Socar unbleeped from now on?! THE PLEASURE!!!
(\o/ yaaay podcast!)
Hey Socar, my day job sucks too. I feel your pain. The things we do for money! Sometimes I think that being a janitor would stink less (and pay more).
But hey, who's the infamous artist you guys talked about? I haven't heard of this case. I'm really curious! :D
Good show as always. While I appreciate you guys trying to use the recent art scammery at a point of discussion I think its really not worth trying to figure out this dudes motivations, he was a con man..end of story. Fan art is a tricky topic as well, but a good one for sure. I know when it comes to selling work at cons, most tend to have a policy about what percentage of your prints can be fan art content. While not really taking a hardline approach to copyright infringement, its a good way to keep that sort of thing at a reasonable level. As someone like myself who is pretty junior to this industry I find that the temptation to do fan art is big for a number of reasons. Ever since Marko Djurdjevic made his mark doing those Marvel characters there has been a real prevalent idea floating around that working with established IP's is the very best way to grab the attention of the companies/IP's that you want to work for. From my own personal experience, I have pieces that I really but alot of time and effort into but the one drawing on my site of Batman that I did casually one evening has gotten more attention from people then any of my fantasy work that was much more time/effort intensive. So I see how artists can fall into that trap and want to concentrate on the fan art, if its attention and back patting that they crave. No offense to Socar but sometimes your level of enthusiasm reminds me of the Joaquin Phoenix interview on David Letterman and his quote "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." ;)
Wow, Drew was on fire for this one. Your musings about fan art made me think of something that has bugged me for quite a long time: As far as I can tell, Tolkien's work is not yet in public domain, yet I see LotR and Hobbit fan art all over the place and from prominent artists (like Donato Giancola who even published a book of it,) Muddy colors recently had a post about versions of LotR scenes. What's up with that? It's as much as an IP as Spiderman. Maybe the Tolkien estate is known to not pursue infringers?
@Chantal: On the contrary, Tolkien Estate is infamous for suing the pants off anyone even touching Tolkien without their consent!
I bet Donato Giancola has an agreement of some sort with them about a share of profit from the book.
(some time ago I was thinking about doing a book of my Tolkien fanart and I vaguely recall asking John Howe about this. And he may have told me one always has to make nice with the Estate. Or not. I'd have to look for the thread. ;))
Just to clarify though - I was talking about commercial work.
For years there have been myths being spread all over the internets, of TE taking down LOTR themed game modifications. (made for free and distributed for free as fan games)
Apparently none of this really happened. I've been working on such a modification for a while now and we used to be seriously worried about TE lawyers sending us a cease and desist email.
:D In the role of Patrick "Enemy of multiple fandoms" McEvoy this week - Sooooooooocar Myles!
(Buffy's great.)
I hadn't been reading much comics news lately so it was new to me, but I think this might catch anybody else up to date who also missed it:
Sadly, there's a lot of guys at comics shows who push the line as far as fan "tributes" to famous works by pro artists and some of them get actual work based on their brilliance with a lightbox or Command-C then -V.
FIRST POST! Hi, Ninja people!
Thanks for all the great comments everybody! Makes me wish I was on this week (but I was getting ready for Wondercon..)
And welcome aboard, Joe!
speaking of vanity searches. Somewhere Irene Gallo mentioned that when she hears of a new artist she doesn't go to their page because so often the artists' website is bad, so she'll just google image search just to see the overall flavor of the artist, which is a pretty frightening thought, you're art being represented by google's randomness.
Shaun: That back patting has an undeniable draw, as do the sales that can follow it.
I've seen people light up when I say a piece is about something they like, as well as completely lose interest if I say it's about something else. I'm still surprised sometimes by how much power not just content, but an association with something else, has. That's why titles are so important. I've been told "You don't call it 'Man with a White Beard,' you call it 'Galdalf,' or 'Moses.'" It doesn't matter if it's the same painting. Giving it that extra meaning -- whether you actually are or not -- can make a big difference.
Chantal: That's an interesting point about Lord of the Rings that I had totally missed. Jan: I'll take that bet.
Patrick: I hope you had a good time at WonderCon. You'll have to tell us about it.
Thanks Drew! I'm sure you won't be able to shut me up about it.. ;)
@Drew: I am tempted to email Donato and ask, but it seems like such a silly thing to bother him about. :)
Don't take my word for this, because I read it somewhere and can't recall where, and might be dead wrong, but I think illustrations of text don't technically count as fan art, or copyright infringement, even if the estate still controls that IP. Something to do with it being a completely different medium, I think.
HOWEVER, illustrations resembling visual representations of the material (official cover art, TV and movie material, sculptures, other art merchandise) would be considered fan art, and an infringement.
So, if I am right, you could do your OWN interpretation of Tolkien's characters, and there isn't a thing anyone could do to stop you. But you couldn't draw wotzisname from the film as Gandalf.
Then again, I could be completely and utterly wrong about this, so if you want to test the theory, on your head be it! I tend to keep my fanart to stories where the copyright issue is long gone.
No no, that sounds quite plausible, Socar!
I've found my question on JH's forums, but it never got answered.:D
The only bit I could find is:
"Also, the Tolkien Estate must approve all projects."
I'd love to be wrong. (that means there could potentially be a book of Jan/Tolkien art happening in the future, if the TE approved)
Eric-It was no problem. Glad you like the work. I really should get some kind of head hunting fee because I think they filled all 100 illustrations with people I recommended.
